Finally swapped back to Android yesterday and bought the S3. After playing with it for a bit I noticed a very loud creak on the back of the phone where the volume rocker is. Took off the back plate and it's actually the phone making this noise when I press in the area highlighted with or without the back plate on. I took it back to Verizon and the associate there pulled out another phone to show it was normal and just wanted to see how true this was. Searched around and couldn't find much on here so sorry if this has been asked. Here's a picture to show the area in question.

Creaking? I think your phone was built on top of an ancient burial ground.....

I don't have any creaking sound on my Sprint SGS 3

Same thing on mine...not a big deal but I notice it, it's only volume up for me.
I don't have any creaking there, but there is definitely some form of structural weakness in the area that you circled in your image, OP.

Edit: o maybe it isn't... I dunno lol speed holes most likely

It`s for a wrist strap, the hole next to the headphone socket is for the Noise cancellation microphone.
how does the wrist strap fit to it then? coz they normally loop back on themselves to keep attatched to the phone but i cant see the bar it wud loop round. or is it a lock in type? thanks for the replys
You put the strap though the hole with the back off the phone and the strap loops over a pin and the back cover stops the strap pulling out.
The picture below is from the user manual.

i dont know how but i messed up my phone speakers. i took the phone to the sprint store and they told me they have water damage. they sound very tinny and low. i guess they must have gotten wet inside. is there any way to replace the speakers? im out of warranty and my phone is useless without speakers. any ideas, suggestions? many thanks and merry xmas everyone!!

The part you need is the middle plate with the loud speaker it shouldn't be that hard to repair. The problem is finding that sucker and this site only sells to wholesalers.

You should go around in the cm7 thread (development section) and check the last few pages for thesian. He works for sprint and maybe he could sell you one or at least tell you where to get it. Send him a private message I'm sure he'd be cool enough to help you.

Hey guys I received my HTC One earlier today and I noticed a couple of things, one, there are small gaps between the polycarbonate and the speaker grill and my capacitive buttons seem to have a purple-ish hue to them. it almost seems as if they are not completely lighting up. Has anyone else had this issue?
If not should I go ahead and get it replaced?
The only reason I ask is because when I went to the AT&T store, the display model had the same issue.
By the way, they look sort of like this, except more purple:

Mine have somewhat of a hue.
They look like this:

i think thats there normal color, as for the gap you can either accept it as it is( i know i did cuz it was not apparent)
or you can get it replaced,

All I'm able to tell is that it's a Samsung device, and it may be GSM because of the microSIM slot I see on the back. The back had no battery, no cover, no SIM, the screen is clearly decimated, two capacitive buttons missing (it takes talent to break capacitive buttons) and most buttons are pretty much loose.
I may spend a little money to get this thing fixed up, assuming it even turns on. I planned on getting a battery to test out first, then if it worked, fixing up the phone and keeping it or selling it. Not anytime soon, since I just bought a Nexus 4 while already low on leisure money, but it would be nice.
From the picture you provided and the detailed description it appears to be a Samsung Epic 4g.
If your interested in some replacement parts for the device I would recommend taking a look at these parts www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm.

Hi!
My girlfriend bought a Honor 9 last Friday. So far it's an awesome phone and she likes it very much.
However, today we noticed that the paint on the home button is peeling / wearing off.
Is this common or should we return it?
Here's a picture of it:

Thanks in advance.

I guess you should return it. Less than a week, this should not happen.
Unless that is the clear film that originally came on your device when you unboxed it. I would send it back for a replacement unit.
