Situation:
1)Tablet docked into keyboard.
2) Just after turning into sleep (using power button).
3) Sometimes while sleeping as well
What:
The power button makes an almost silent squealing sound.
Sorry for double posting but it is driving me insane. The ultra high pitch sound I think comes from this round thing in the corner (speaker/beeper/mic whatever it is)
It is located in the bottom right corner of the backplate when You look at a horizontally oriented Asus in the middle. The whole backplate seems to be producing the sound, it is however more load near the right edge of the backplate

My SGS2 screen tilts SLIGHTLY to the right. Once I started to notice this I see this every time I use the phone, and it's getting very annoying.
Is someone else experiencing the same problem? Is this something you would send the phone in to service because of?
Can you provide a photo of your phone showing the problem?
I know of no software issue that causes this (there is a Google Egg that hangs the phone screen output slightly to the right).
It sounds like you could have a hardware screen issue but it would have to be showing on all screens, be that the Home screen or when running any Apps/Games.
I don't know if you can see it. If you look at the bottom of the screen it might be noticeable to you. It's the same way in every screen, so I think it's a hardware problem. It tilts slightly to the right.
Sorry, I can't see any tilt from that photo.
I also measured the angle of the bottom edge of the screen and the Home button.
They are both in alignment with each other.
When the screen is switched off you should see the outlining edge of the display.
Now when you switch on the screen does it fit to this?
It seems to be that to whole frame is is a BIT crooked. I don't know how I can show this accurately when it doesn't show that much.
Are you sure it's not your eyes deceiving you?
Try taking a few more shots (close in at the bottom) and then load the shots up on your PC and look closer...... Try and measure the angle against say the bottom of the phone to see if there is any discrepancy.

I've been staring at the photo for like one minute now. And I don't see it. Maybe if you go closer with the camera?
I can see it the top leans to the right, like the frame is not correct. defo faulty
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried using a ruler? Or a measuring tape (like the free paper ones you get at Ikea if you are afraid of scratching it).
I just did a measurement of my screen to the edge of the outside bezel... Starting from bottom to top..
Bottom from both corners of the screen to the outside bottom bezel: 1.55cm +/- 0.025cm
Bottom of both sides of screen to the outside bezel: 0.45cm +/- 0.025cm
Top of both sides of screen to the outside bezel: 0.45cm +/- 0.025cm
Top from both corners of the screen to the outside top bezel: 1.55cm +/- 0.025cm
Never knew this before, but the screen is dead center of the phone..
I also took a measurement of the diagonal: 4 1/4" or 10.25cm +/- 0.025cm
Height: 9.30cm +/- 0.025cm (both sides)
width: 5.55cm +/- 0.025cm (top & bottom)
My Galaxy S II is perfectly aligned.. I do admit though, after you said it, I felt it was crooked... That's why I ended up taking the above measurements --
I absolutely hate phones that don't have at least one physical button near the thumb (a-la iPhone).
This is what originally drew my to the SGSII.
So, I've been wondering, what is the thinking behind removing it and using the 4 "touch screen" buttons in it's place?
Is there some sort of market research that states American's don't like the button?
Is that why the vast majority of Android devices only have the "touch" buttons?
They don't want to look like iPhone
^^ and make Apple's case of shameless copying against Samsung even stronger!
Is that the official/real reason?
I personally like the screen to have no holes at all, like in Optimus Black.
In my opinion the hole for home button and top speaker in phones attract dirt and maybe make the screen less stronger.
But, I wonder what happens when touching home accidentally, will it show lock screen? If it is physical button you cannot push it accidentally. It must be frustrating that the screen is always awake when home is touched.
From a UX perspective:
When I reach for my phone, I usually find the home button with my thumb and press it to turn the screen on before I can even see the screen -- so when I can finally see the screen it's ready for me to unlock.
This is how I naturally first engage with the device -- not having the physical button interrupts this process and trying to find the side with the power button isn't as natural or quick for me.
It appears that the screen in the bottom left hand corner of the phone (by the settings button) on my phone is raised slightly higher than the rest of the phone. Where the rest of the screen is clearly below the height of the bezel, this corner appears to be flush. At the end of the day this isn't a big deal, but I would like for the screen to be even. Upon inspection of the phone, the speaker location is directly under this spot, so it makes me wonder if this is intended since there are more electronics in that spot.
I am gonna go by the store and check out a demo, but I would still like to know if anyone else has noticed this.
My phone is not like that. It's slightly recessed all the way around.
I put a screen proctor on it. It is hard to tell....
Mine is slightly recessed too. I am trying to get a picture of it, but it is hard to accurately show. From what I can tell, the screen becomes more recessed as it approaches the top of the screen. From side to side the screen should be at the same recess point. On my phone this is true for the whole phone except for at the bottom where the left side is raised a hair bit more than the right now. It honestly isn't a big deal, it was just one of those things that I noticed and will continue to bother me until I either exchange it or forget about it.
If you look at the back of a galaxy s3 without the backplate, you can see that there is some sort of square "button" in plastic. The right side has it too.
When i press this so called button, my phone makes a clicking noise (also makes it when i press in the remote area of it, even if backplate is on).
It clicks like a mouse click, so its probably loose.
This is the best picture I could find, sorry its not not that big.
Bottom line, how can i stop the clicking without voiding warranty? I find it annoying because its such an expensive device. Maybe I have OCD or something.
same problem
Hey I have the same problem with my galaxy... mine makes a clicking sound on the back sides... did you happened to get it fixed or you just left it?

Maybe its me being VERY picky...
But on the back side on the phone on the lower cover,its a little bit creak sound when i press it.
Also if i hold the finger on the top on the phone and under at botttom,if i press both ends at same time i also hear another creak sound.
I have no idea if its acceptable. Any sound from Your phone?
The plastic which joint the metal on back side is it moving when you press hard ?
Can you see any gap between plastic and metal part?
No,i can't say I see a gap there.
I don't press hard tho.
Nothing is moving..
By the way, it's not sound all the time..
Nobody else have sound at all?
Just tryied it. I have a creak sound too. But havent noticed it the week i have the phone.
Nothing like this here...
Thanks for reply.
When I press it, it almost sound like a little click.
But when I hold it on top and bottom at same time and press , it's creaking.
Maybe I'm just being very picky about it, and I guess this is not a good reason to bring the phone back to replace it with a new one.
If I press first the lower left and right sides together really hard and then press the back at the CE-label and keep doing this alternately there is a faint click. I have to hold my ear about 10 cm from it to hear it.
