The battery cover of my Galaxy s3 seems to creak (or sit loose) when gentle pressure is applied to the battery cover a bit above the volume-up on the volume rocker. Anyone else experience this?
I have circled the area that creaks slightly when pressure is applied.

I cannot duplicate this issue.
Sounds like one of the connectors might be faulty. Pop off the cover and see if the connector nearest the problem area looks like the other ones.
I checked mine and it's fine

mines fine
If it's anything like the S2 battery cover, try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21473385&postcount=18
I will chime in too...mine is solid.
Well this one got me out of being a lurker on this site - I have the exact same problem in the same location and it is driving me nuts. I have visibly inspected the connectors and they all appear to be the same. Still within my return window at VZW but I hope they can just give me a new cover vs. dealing with a new phone.
I also have this issue. I have the white GS3 from AT&T. I kind of feel that I may end up with a bigger problem if I exchange for another. It's incredibly annoying considering the money I dropped on this thing, but I figure a case will cover it up, and my fingers rarely ever hang out in that area anyway.

i would suggest taking it to your retailer and ask them to replace it. unfortunately, i doubt they will go through the trouble of doing that for you. you could try ordering a new back cover. they are a bit pricey though.
Try detaching that side of the cover and snapping it on clip by clip. I had a slight creak, but this fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I've tried putting it back on every way possible, no luck. I also tried the hair dryer method from the SII and do not recommend it - the clear coating on the back started to crack around the headphone jack. I was working very carefully so it's hardly noticeable but had I been pushing harder it could have cracked a lot. It's possible that I needed to heat it more but I'm afraid to since it's already pretty dang flimsy.
I'm going to go to VZW today and we'll see what they say. I really hope they act on it, a flagship $300 device should not have creaky plastic on the back...
In my case, I can actually see that the back cover does not fit properly. Regardless of how I put the cover back on, that edge is slightly raised from the phone, which is what causes the creaking. The creaking doesn't exist on the phone itself without the back cover on.
I brought my phone in and they are 3+ weeks backordered so they suggested I try Sammy - I played with the phone again and realized the creak is actually coming from the phone case itself, and NOT the back cover.
OP try taking off your cover and pushing along the thin strip of plastic on the side of the battery, this is at least where my creak is. I tried tightening the screws but no help, this just got even more frustrating.

it started cracking (from what i noticed) like, last week
yesterday, it's totally broken off
anyone else have a DIY fix? superglue i'm thinking
****sux because i had the touchpad inside the official case day 1 AND it doesnt get moved around often nor does it see heavy usage
i have a theory that the case actually helps increase the chances of the cracks because any vibration/pressure is transmitted somewhat equally around the touchpad so even if the speaker side was not touched, any other force small or big goes speaker side and will eventually crack
Why don't u contact HP Support? They will replace the case!
I have the same problem that you are having. I have my touchpad for about a week or so and it cracked between both speakers it really sucks. So what I did was used super glue to fix the problem it might not look the best it works for now. Its nice to find out that its just not me having these problems but it really sucks.
Sent from my GT-i9100 using xda premium
ya I know about the customer support replace, just wanted to get opinions on superglue approach before then because I'm sorta scared that my touchpad will get replace with a diff one or the screen gets scratched etc
if the super glue works I'll just do that
Don't do the superglue, I really regret doing it myself, it's not clear and is very ugly, i need to find a way to get it off before i can send it in.
I'm thinking of getting mine repaired and then getting it wrapped in ghost armor.
The armor works great...

I bought one and uploaded some pics on amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-m...KD028/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0
I didnt have "Cracks" but I have the ripple effect on the small plastic part like it was going to crack.
wondering about the superglue method myself (i have cracks on both speakers). does it melt the plastic cover?
I have cracks on my TP as well. It's a hardware defect, much like the original Pre / usb door cracks. The plus side is that it will never spread to the screen, and it does not affect the performance (or looks if it's in a case).
I don't recommend sending it back for "repair" ... it's not worth it and you don't know if you'll get it back.
It works.
I just noticed cracks as well. I'm going to check out that ghost armor. Looks neat.
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
well the cracks around the speakers is cosmetic. Contact HP Support they will replace the casing.
I had the same issue with my TP. The customer support was good. They sent me a return box and label. All you have to do is to pack your TP as per instructions and drop it at nearby UPS store. I received the repaired TP within a week.
Act fast before the warranty expires.
I just noticed a crack in mine. Called them and they are sending a box out. It's covered for a year they said.
10 have it back. I'm sad but will be happy to get new one and will have armor case ready and waiting for it.

Yea. HP is going to get my tablet back in a few days. I have to go drop it off. I wonder if they've fixed the problem and the new ones don't do it. I sure hope so.
I have dropped mine and its cracked on the corner and some of the plastic has come away. Does anyone know if replacement covers are available while searching about this? Cant seem to find one.
My TP has now developed a crack near the speakers! Spoke to HP who said there was a batch of TP`s who had a "bad" batch of plastic and the new plastic they use is better and should not crack!!
I have to send photo`s of the crack to their Argentinian office and then the TP gets sent from the UK to Hungary for repair (through UPS)
Hungary?? I think that is the first time I have read the word "Hungary" anywhere in months (do not spend a lot of time looking at maps of Eastern Europe).

By the looks of that screenshot, you've been taking your back cover off incorrectly, or rather not as "gently" as you should be.
The back case flexes if you pull at it from the bottom and up like peeling a bannana...and when it flexes, it will bend the metal camera frame ring. Thus that red metal ring can/dent/bend and will start to bow and then the tension will cause it to naturally pull away and pop off like you've displayed.
I might suggest removing the ring entirely and trying to bend/straighten it as gently as possible, so that it will want to stay straight and flush, before gluing it back on.
When I am removing the back cover, pop off an end first, usually I do the bottom (since there's the thumb tab, opposite the head phone jack),
then I gently tug at the side with the usb, to pop out the tabs working my way towards the headphone jack,
then I gently push the bottom left corner of the back cover towards the headphone jack, so that it helps pop off and out around the headphone jack as I lift the panel from up from the USB side.
Ultimately I try to remove my backcover without flexing the backcover or flexing it as little as possible especially near the red ring.

Go to your local Sprint store and ask if they have any replacement back covers. i Took mines over to them and they said it is a defective issue in some? I don't know if it is true but they gave me one for free

I am stopping by the Sprint Store this afternoon to get a replacement back today. Was just wondering if this was a common issue or not. Thanks for the replies.
@CYDVicious
You are correct, I am bad at just taking the back off by just the bottom and really bending the case, guess I was used to the original 4G back which was so much easier to take off.
Thanks all
Never happened to me and I got mine right after launch. I always wanted to take it off to paint it or just sand it down. Even tried prying it from the inside with no luck. Is it glued on or does it have another method of attachment? Tried painting it but the edges looked sloppy and it covered up the holes which muffled the already weak speaker. Ended up scraping the paint off before it fully cured.

Looks to be just some sort of glue. But it seems to be very thin aluminum that bends extremely easy and probably hard to get back into the correct shape if bent too much. Wouldn't recommend prying it off, unless you can get it off with heat.
mine is starting to come off as well. im hoping for some other issues so i can get a whole new refurb unit

Has anyone noticed how the metal right under the glass that is the case for the charging port bends mine was warped a bit but I noticed I bent it back straight. I check more and noticed its caused by plugging in the charger into the Asus prime and if you move it back and forth it will bend the metal casing and could crack the screen is anyone else having this problem? I'll post a picture when I get home to show what's happening and what others should look out for. This could be really bad.
Yes, mine is bent down but I can bend it back up to insert the charger. Very weak piece of metal there.
same here.
me too.
I caught myself holding the TFP one handed with my thumb right over the charging port. I figured that is what caused the warping.
Mine came bent brand new out of the box.
Add me to the list of a bent case. Scared me half to death because what made me realize that the case was bent was because my screen looked like it popped out. Which made me immediately think that I would have to add myself to the "cracked screen thread." However, I was able to snap the screen back into place except for the part near the power port....which is when I noticed that the metal was bent up and in causing the screen to to snap back into place. So I did the best I could to re-position the metal and the screen seemed to snap back in (not as tight as the rest of the tablet).
Not sure how the metal got bent since I have never dropped it (knock on wood). I do keep it in my brief case, and there may be a possibility that it got jammed somehow (even though I have it in a nice case).
I think it just gets bent frm doing the one handed holding thing like me and a few others that i have read about on here or it could be because of bending the charger. More and more stuff i keep finding out crap. I love this device but man seems that no one tested the damn thing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500554
Aluminum is just so soft, it shouldn't be a surprise when a piece less than 1 MM thick gets bent. As you can see in the thread, I've even purposefully bent it, several times. Nothing is hurt by it. I don't think it will ultimately hurt the screen or anything, I suppose if you tried breaking your power cord off into it or something.
I haven't noticed it on mine but I keep the little plastic piece in it when its not on the charger to protect it from dust/damaging the port. I have a case so I don't even notice it being there when in use.
That's what i think too .

Mine didn't crack from the charger but it gradually began to get bent since i keep 90% of the tablet docked to the keyboard. Even the rubber/padding in the dock is rubbing/melting off and sticking to the tablet. Yeah, I'm guilty of opening and closing the tablet like it was a laptop so which is why im sure it became like that.
I thought the port was cracked due to the keyboard was more of the problem than it is but it turns out its just the tablets fault. Thanks for the post, at least im not the only one.
Mine has cracked through.
I almost got a hearth attack when i first saw mi prime like that haha.
Then I looked a bit closer, and found out that the whole Prime was bent like a bow! including the screen. I just bent it back with little force and it is back like new. I'm extra careful now when applying any kind of pressure to the tablet.
I guess that's the price for having a whole Alu case... but I think the border of the tablet should be made of something way more resistant than just Alu.
I've had it bent since the day I bought the prime. Always thought it was an esthetics thing.

Me too. Came that way out of the box. Figured it was meant to be that way since it was shipped like that.
I work at the Asus RMA repair center in grapevine TX pretty much exclusively on the tf101, tf201, 300t and sl101. I see these things bent above and around the charging port all the time. Hell, we have techs that bend it themselves when they are servicing the tablet. It's a bad design flaw.

This might be a useless post. I originally posted in one of the diztronic posts, but see It's a more than one person issue. if someone can help me and post a picture of the unedited backing that way people can see a before and after. Essentially with some of the cases they grab the backing too tight against the power button causing it to stick. from what I've seen looking at a couple of EVO's is that the power button doesn't sit flush with the front of the phone, a manufacturing defect I guess. What's needed to be done is filing down the backing where it won't touch the button. In our case it is not the visible section but wings that stick out inside the phone.

Ive noticed if you push down power button on the left side of the button it tends to stick, if you push on the right side your ok. I was going to get a replacement, but after reading this I might as well just modify this one.

all the "defective"ones I've seen are raised on the left side when looking down atop the button .
take the backing off and you'll see one side not flush.
THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!
I got my Diztronic TPU case in yesterday and I've had 9-10 reboots due to the power button. I was planning on going to Best Buy to exchange at lunch today but guess that's not the answer. I suppose I'll get to filing and see if that helps.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
You don't have to be afraid of shaving too much as there isn't anything to harm. There is a clip on the right but it's far enough from the parts to shave. just something to have caution if you go crazy with it.
I shaved a but off of mine just a tiny tiny piece actually its hard to tell any was taken off. I was getting the reboots but that cured it, and not a single reboot since.

As I've noted before, this issue isn't with all phones. my parents 2 phones didn't have the power button sticking out. mine was a bestbuy preorder by mail, theirs was a release day bestbuy walk in. I had to swap backings and cases with no change before I noticed the issue. it is also a possible problem without a case.
Once again, this issue isn't for all phones, very few actually.
Bought 2 diztronic cases. One had this problem, the other didn't.
Returned the problematic one to Amazon. Going to buy a cruzerlite!
btw, for those who shaved the case, can you tell the paint fell off?
The button isn't aluminum? Not sure what paint your pointing toward.

Au contraire, I just got my cruzerlite tpu today and do see that the left side of my power button tends to sink whenever I press it down. My temporary fix is by gently sliding my finger to the other side of the button (but it gets a little old after a while lol )

I got impatient and did it haha. I used a knife, nail clipper and a nail file to smooth it down. Less than 5min to mod the plastic backing. Just carefully clip off the edge under curved part where the power button would be at

OP...You are the man! Filed it down with a nail file and the problem went away. Thank you!
This info is so good I had to thank you twice!
The moment I opened my Tab 4 I realized it needed a case. The Tab 3 7.0 that it replaced lived it's life in an Otterbox mainly because I got a deal on it and it was a good case. There wasn't an Otterbox for the 4 when I got it so I started searching and found the Poetic Revolution on Amazon for $15.
Based on the description I decided that this case should be good enough for a while. I overlooked the fact that it actually a TPU outer skin, not rubber like the Otterbox. This isn't a big deal but it is stiffer than I had hoped for. The volume and power buttons are hard to identify without looking at them, but they still press easily even though you can't really tell you are pressing them at times. The rear of the case is plastic and seems to feel durable. The integrated screen protector only lasted 3 days before I ripped it out. The screen did not seem to respond correctly with it in place and at times would act funny if I was not pressing forcefully. There are also flaps that cover the SD card slot as well as the headphone and charging ports.
Overall I feel that this is a very well made case. The fit and finish is nice and there are no fitment issues. The only issue I have is the screen protector which I have solved by removing it altogether, and for the price it can't be beat.

One month update:
The case is still holding up very well with no major issues, I just wanted to add that the power and volume buttons are still very hard to press. There is no indication of whether they have been pressed or not, no soft squish, no tactile feedback, nothing. Its hard to tell if the button has been pressed unless you are looking at the screen. I only say this because I spent the last few weeks trying to root the device and had to take it out of the case to get it in to odin.

Is there a cutout at the top of the screen protector for the camera? I'm trying to figure out if this might work with the voice capable version.
I think there was a hole for the camera, but I am using a separate screen protector because the one that was with the case pretty much sucked.
Sent from my SM-T337T using Tapatalk
Is the headphone jack accessible? An amazon review said it isn't because the case is too thick.
I have this case as well, there is a cutout for the front cam and have had no issues with headphone jack door unless your jack is extraordinarily thick.
Definitely gonna order one of these
This is the case I have aswell. It has already saved my tablet from a fall and skid or two. Haven't had any issues with the builteam in screen protecter though. Touch seems just as responsive to me. Only issue I have is using the IR blaster. The plastic covering the port seems to shorten the range by about a ft. and a half or so.
Edit...
Well... I can now safely say that the case is well worth what I payed for it. 4am trip downstairs and dropped my tablet. End over end down the entire flight of bare hardwood stairs in a home with 12 ft. ceilings.
I just picked up a 7" Tab 4, and immediately ordered this case and Im impressed with the build quality. I have this case for my Note 4 and MotoX 2014 and all three are built very well. The built in screen protectors are hit and miss. The one that came on this unit worked very well and sticks flatly on the screen with no high spots, so I kept it on.
Id say that for $15 you really cannot go wrong.
