Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I got my SGS3 a couple of days ago (so far I like the phone a lot, coming from an iPhone4) and I noticed today that when I tap the upper side of the screen I hear a little buzzing/clicking or popping sound. It feels like there is something loose inside that moves, and it only happens on the upper side of the screen. When I tap the bottom or mid section this sound is not apparent.
I can also feel/hear the sound when I shake the phone.
Is this normal for this phone or should I go back to the att re-seller and complain?
Thank you
That's definitely not normal. I'd take it in and have them replace it.
I've never heard of a Salaxy S3 with this, better get it replaced
this is really interesting - I actually went back to the store and played with a couple of the GS3 they had. Both were doing exactly what I experience on mine. I guess this is something normal for GS3's...
I guess I am waaay too picky andd will have to learn to live with this

Ohhh I hear what your talking about.. but you have to hit it pretty hard..... and it is not very loud.
Yeahhh, unfortunately for me that is how I tap my screen all the time and it drives me insane. It is more like a buzzing sound than anything else. It almost looks like something is loose inside the phone in the upper area of the screen.

Hmm will deff. try this when I get mine but I don't really press on my phones screen. Just a simple tap, tap, tap-a-roo will do.
I'm seeing the same thing on my Verizon GSIII. I took off the battery door and can reproduce it by pressing on the plastic frame near the volume control. It is clearly the plastic case making the creaking sounds. So annoying.
I was considering exchanging the phone because of this, however now it sounds like it is more widespread. Should I just live with it? Does anyone Galaxy Nexus's do this?

Hi guys,
I've noticed over the past few weeks that the hard button (home button) has been coming a bit lose on the right side.
It tends to make a squeaking sound when touched lightly however the button functions at 100%.
Anyone else notice the home button loosening a bit?
Some GS2s have firm and some have loose home button, so no need to panic as long as it works.
Apply a little pressure to the right side of the button. Does it eventually click in place? So that you no more have a loose button?

Yeah that works.... but eventually later on it comes lose again.

i feel like i got the same thing on my s2
the button is not loose but it moves in place; hardly distinguishable though unless you use a magnifying glass
many reported having light leaking on the sides of the button, i don't have that,
i don't know if i should be happy or
phone is overall fine, its the closest you can get to perfect, with the exception of some varying degree of yellow tint, which i know will be resolved when the official 2.3.4/.5 rom release in my region.
other than that, handle with care, lol.
is it normal for there to be some flexibility when touching the home button, or is the home button suppose to stay in one place? I noticed that the home button moves around its housing a bit (i dont know if this is the right word to use)
if you get too picky about it you can sometimes hear a a minuscule squeak, but when pressing from an extreme corner.
let me know
I had this also but I was able to snap it back...
Well I might be the first to have let my prime fall. Teetered off a stack of towels and fell to the rug about two feet down. Was playing music, and it instantly stopped. Now I can't get it to turn on. Not sure what to do. Plugged it into the charger and the led on the power button lights up, but I was at >90 battery.
If I hold the power button for 10 seconds the unit vibrates once, but no display. Then about 30 seconds later I get a small ding and a screen lock sound.
Any thoughts?

It sounds like Asus made the device so horribly that even a 2 feet drop onto carpet will ruin it...
They probably used sticky rice to hold the internals together. Woot go ASUS! I really hope they get into some trouble over this tablet.
if it doesn't look damaged from the outside from fall, just return and exchange it. we won't say anything
was it inside a case? did it fall on its back, flat on its face, or on a corner? strange how such a short fall on carpet did that. I'd return it asap. should be easy to exchange. especially if it doesn't look like you yourself damaged it.

Seems like you broke the LCD the prime itself is on you just don't have picture I would say let it sit a day and good luck
If you have a micro HDMI cable and a TV, you could try hooking it up to check if the device is turning on and if the problem is only with the screen itself.

I doubt if he, Jdbaker, really did open it up. he produced no pics or videos of that claim. he just said that to try to make more people believe his theory. just like he said Asus Engineers called him personally to confirm his theories. after he also told engineers he opened up the back himself. sounds like some Major B.s. to me..lol of he really did do that he would've made sure to take pix to back up his claim. I know I would have.

I hate the volume buttons, too, but for a different reason. Being that they are directly opposite the power button I often find myself raising or lowering the volume when I am trying to press the power button (to wake the phone) with one hand. Having a TPU case on the phone makes it worse because it takes a little more effort to press the power button. I have to be very deliberate with my finger placement in order not to activate the volume buttons. It's a small gripe considering how great the phone is, but he asked.

I have a TC tpu case that has a cut-out for the power button, but covers the volume buttons, making power easier to find in the dark, and volume buttons slightly harder to press. Solves that problem for me.

Only gripes I have about the phone is the area slightly under the volume buttons, if you press it in and then press the back of the phone near it it'll make a bad creaking sound.

Has anyone noticed that the bottom edge of your DNA has a slight 1-2mm shadowy area where the backlight is dim as well as random areas along the sides (this is not the capacitive light bleed which most units all have, which I don't consider a big deal)? I've had numerous replacements and all have exhibited these issues including a few Verizon store units. I find it surprising that this hasn't been reported upon in any reviews. It's fairly annoying on white and light colors, the majority of what I use the phone for (side-by-side with my 4s, the 4s has even lighting to the edges). I also checked out the HTC One in an AT&T store and couldn't see these issues, so it looks DNA rather than HTC specific.
It's a bit hard to make out from pictures, but it is visible.

If the top of that pick is the bottom of the phone, then I can see the dim area, but you're right about the sides looking uniform. I wonder if the refurbishment process introduces issues along the long sides.

Yeah, man; it's a curse. I'm one of those who notices the digitizer when the display is on as well.
Because of those lights, I think the top 1/8 of the screen is a bit brighter than the rest as well, especial if you're viewing in landscape. If you do the same on the bottom, you see nothing, like they didn't put any LEDs there. The inconsistency I've noticed along the sides isn't the exact same between any two phones (I've had a number of replacements mostly due to other issues). I bothers me pretty much any time I use the browser, maps app, texting, or anything like that, but I think i'm slowly getting used to it. From what I can tell of hands on time with the HTC One, it looks like they've mostly avoided this in that model, if not because of a larger bezel to hide the diffuser/LEDs in.
death grip? is there any fix for that?
so , my phone also have a well known "death grip" problem . signal bars goes down from 5 to 2 or even losing whole 5 , sometime if it's even on 2 bar i can't use it as a phone .
WTF why is gsm antenna in the bottom corner of the phone ? why they don't made it in top corner of phone?
i remember when apple iphones had this kind of problem and apple gave customers free case , what htc done about it? will case help me at all? don't think so

Try this.
This will work :thumbup:
Hold the phone upside down.
So that the antenna will face up.
You might encounter some issues like the screen appearing to be flipped upside down.
You can simply fix that by rotating your head exactly by 180 degree. :angel:

Simply, either buy a case or hold it differently, cause you are holding it wrong.
guys are you really kidding me or what?
how should i hold it if that's not a "correct position" ? i'm really interested what the hell are you talking about
why it's not correct position? because of stupid htc made gsm antena in the bottom or what?
Spoke with HTC. They said the fix is to.... Not hold the phone when talking on it. They said you should use the one mini for talking.
