Nexus 10 back loose/ creaky? - Nexus 10 General

Hi guys,
My Nexus 10's back, on the left side when facing the screen, has a slight creak to it when pressed. Does anybody else's have this (it can be slightly hard to find at first)? I'm curious, as I'm not sure if there is a DIY way to fix it, and whether or not it is a common occurrence.

I get a click or two from the removable strip but I assume that is just it moving in its seating. Very minor and not a problem. I ignore it.

Yeah, I have that, too. Nothing seems to indicate that the cover is loose somehow, though. Seems to me that it's just the rubber. I wouldn't worry about it. Of course, I wouldn't go choking it there, either.

I too get a "Crack Sound" or creak when I grab my tablet from the left side.

Mine is same although my removable strip actually has a probg yhat won't go it so it juts out... Very annoying but I have a case.

So, besides the creaking sound (which doesn't bother me too much), my back actually has two "bubbles" where the back material meets the dimpled strip, and when you look at the tablet top-down, you can actually see the two gaps where the rubbery material is lifted up higher than the dimpled strip. The "bubbles" are basically directly above the "N" and "S"...
I'm assuming this isn't normal and should probably go get an exchange at the store, right?

My left rear has a little more give than the right. Otherwise, the build is clean and sturdy. Did hear a noise once when i was gripping it at a funny angle. Of course if I grip my Vivid wrong the rear plate falls off and the battery even drops out at times. Overall I am very happy with the construction of my nexus10.

like this?

I got my N10 yesterday and I found two problems.
1. The back is really loos. If I press in the middle of the back cover it wobbles and make click sound.
2. There is some light bleeding at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Are these things normal? Or should I exchange it.

The back is fine. As far as light bleed, it's a common problem. How bad it is depends on how much it bothers you.

I got exchange.

i get some slight play in the back but compared to the note 10.1, this thing is build like a rock

I received my Nexus 10 at the end of January and have just ordered a replacement...
The creaking and cracking from both sides of the back (directly behind the speakers) is horrendous when I gently squeeze the nexus, for example to lift it - I can usually just ignore these little things, but this is just too bad!
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I love it...the build quality is superb and the fact the Nexus 10 isn't up to the same standard is disappointing.
I will upload a YouTube video to demonstrate it...as I've not seen or heard anyone having creaking this bad...
When I receive my replacement, I'll update this topic. The only saving grace was the Google RMA process was flawless IMO.

CASES
I used to get it too but i figured out a way to fix it. Wanna know how? lol Get a nice smart case by Poetic or another brand you prefer. I know theres a thread designated for all the accessories for nexus 10.
but check out this website and pick what you like. - nexus 10 accessories . com

Loose glass around edges of TF201

I was just wondering if anybody else has an issue with loose glass panel towards the edges of your asus transformer prime? In particular folks who just purchased one. There is about a 1/4" of play mostly at the top/left side of the screen around the volume rocker and to a lesser extent on the right side. It's not a lot, but noticable since that's right where you normally hold it.
I already exchanged it for another one at Office Depot, and this new one has the exact same issue. I can't imagine this would be "normal." Maybe just a defective batch? In either case, I haven't noticed any other issues in the 2 days I had the first one.
They both started with S/N# C30KAS...
C1O from office depot reporting in. Have the exact same issue, right out of the box. My case does make it unnoticeable, though. I'd hate to have to rma it for this.
It is not normal. There are little hatches which hold glass to the frame. If they are broken (they are very thin, I guess they can easily be broken on assembly line) there is no way to fix it apart from taking it apart completely and putting some double sided tape. I would, and did, return it.

Do you realize how much that is? (I assume you mean a quarter inch)
I would just return it.
Yes, it's about a quarter inch. Unfortunately it seems as though these 2 were the last in stock... anywhere. But that's kind of what I thought; just seemed odd to have 2 in a row like that. I guess I'll play with it for a few more days to make sure I still like the TF201 in general and return it later (within the return window). Or maybe if they get a new batch in... exchange it again.
I like to see a picture of this. Quarter inch is really massive.

Yeah, it wasn't good, but it's returned now. Although this 2nd one isn't nearly as bad. In fact, it's only loose on the right side. This is probably closer to an 1/8". So it's doesn't go above the outter bezel.
But I guess the question is whether folks consider any play whatsoever acceptable, normal, or something they even care about. In particular if it's in a case. Not to mention the concern that it might get worse or seperate completely.

On a good unit there is no play. Actually, there is, but it's so small that you have to be looking for it and even then you'd struggle to find it.

Hmm, maybe I'm just being more picky given the much worse amount of seperation I had with the first device. So here is a quick video I just shot with my phone. Not the best quality, but maybe you guys with "good" primes can let me know what ya think.

I'm having the exact same problem, mine also makes an audible "squeek" when pressed, and the compression is definitely visible. The difference though is that mine came back repaired from when I sent it out for RMA, not a replacement. I'll be getting on the phone tonight with them, as the screen is now also starting to display Mura (which it was sent in for the first time I RMA'd it.), and the screen bleed is getting notibly worse to the point where it is very annoying.
mine is also loose in the upper left hand corner area when held in landscape.
On mine there's still lots of areas I can press down but its under 1mm.
I'm more bummed about dust I now see under the screen. Doesn't Apple laminate the lcd to the screen? Wish Asus done it.
i have the same issue. My wife noticed it and I decided that I could live with it.

I see it kinda the same way... I only notice it from time to time in landscape mode. But sometimes I have to test the whole side to find the spot again.
I'm having a really great time with the device, can't think about returning it for for this imperfection.
I've got the same problem albeit the flex is very small.
Well, I decided to at least order a MoKo folio cover case and see if that minor flex is still going to be an issue for me or not. I already don't like the way it feels carrying it around by itself. The edges make it feel somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. So maybe the case is all it needs. Because other than that, I haven't found any other issues, yet.

WOW!

This tablet is incredible. The screen is ridiculously good and any fool that says otherwise need glasses or are biased. The build quality feels great and everything runs like a dream.
There are a few issues but the performance is spectacular and more than make up for them.
Issues.
Back cover is not flush or cut properly.
The sound dampening and vibration dampening is poor. Sounds and vibrations are felt too cleanly while holding the tablet. I had to turn off the keypress vibrations.
Some apps are not optimized yet like boat browser. Dolphin and jetpack runs incredible though.
Amazing device. The price makes it even more incredible.
Edit. I just realized that the uneven back piece is most likely the cause of the poor sound and vibration dampening. Take it off or put a case on it and that should take care of it.

Should have seen the crowd of employees gathered around me at Futureshop just a bit ago. Took it in to see if any of the official Note 10.1 or Tab 2 10.1 cases would fit (they don't), and everyone wanted to take a look at it.
Standing right in front of the iPad table.
Just got mine and am in love with this device. Luckily there is no light bleeding and dead pixels for me.
The screen is just amazing and I don't care about the back design since I will be getting a rotatable case next week

Belkin case for Tab 2 fits. Top corner bracket covers power button slightly, but doesn't impair function. Could use a little trim.

My HTC 8x screen looks like crap compared to the Nexus 10 screen and that supposedly has one of the nicer mobile screens like the One X. Amazing!
I sold my iPad 3 awhile back so I can't make a direct comparison but I didn't remember it looking anywhere near this sharp. Wow!

Nexus 10 with different screens.

I ordered a replacement N10, because of back flex and got it today.
Not only is the back flex worse, the screen looks worse. Compared to my original N10 the replacement looks duller. My original N10 by far looks more vibrant while the replacement has a noticeable warmer and duller color temp.
Back the replacement goes... I will live with the back flex. I really don't want to play exchange roulette like I did with the nexus 7. Those of you considering exchanging your Nexus might want to consider you might get a worse one.

Samsung's the single source for the LCD panel. If there are big variations between them it's because the tolerances on the production line are off and their slipping through QC. Some deviation from panel-to-panel is normal. If you put three SGS3's side-by-side each will have a slight variation in temperature. But what you're describing doesn't sound slight.

I think I had a similar issue to you, but for the better.
My replacement arrived yesterday as my original device had bad back flexing
The new one has a much more vibrant and brighter screen than the old one (the autobrightness seems to react much faster and ramps the brightness more appropriately)
The replacement came shipped with build JVP15L, so I had to two updates, one to JOP20C and then again to JOP20D, weird huh?

so your telling me you got two devices without light bleed? I can't even get one out of them.
This is somewhat good news as I seem to have a warmer screen and also suffer from light bleed so I'm probably going to get it exchanged. Hoping I get a replacement with a neutral or cooler screen. neutral or cooler toned screens tend to have better contrast for some reason vs the warmer screens.

First unit which I kept has very little light bleed, nothing significant. The replacement had horrible light bleed, there were light streaks coming from the lower right corner.
Other than back flex, I am happy with my N10's screen.
I thought the same about my device but then I turned my brightness up and took it off automatic brightness. I can hardly believe that the difference is that stark between the two units

It is considered a defect because normally the internal components should touch the inside of the casing, so there is no cavity between the two and therefore no flexing when pressed .
In the case of the flexing units, the casing is bowed ever so slightly outwards, thus creating a cavity, so the casing flexes inwards up until it touches the components inside.

Is it actually a "bow" or is it just an air gap between the battery and the back? Mine flexes when I press it, and makes a "click" like glue forcibly coming unstuck when I release.
It's hardly the end of the world though. I'd never have realised it until it was mentioned on XDA because I'm not heavy handed enough to go squeezing it, nor would I have had cause to "press" hard on the back of it while it's lying face down.

Mine was both, a bowing which caused an air gap. It didn't click at all, just flexed even when i was just holding it as the bowing was greatest directly underneath where you place your fingers. If i looked edge onto the tablet from the top, the bowing was apparent.
Figured seeing as i'm paying for it, wanted a perfect device and Google were happy to replace it, why not get it replaced?

I wonder how much cheaper our gadgets would be if hordes of people on XDA didn't RMA 5-6 times because they go actively looking for defects they wouldn't notice otherwise?
I've been thinking about this all day. My N10 has some ripples around the detachable rear cover that I hadn't noticed until looking at the photos in this thread. Is it obvious when I show it to others? No. Does it affect operation in any way? No. Have my fingers ever felt the ripples as I use it or rotate viewing mode? No.
So why are the cosmetics such a big deal to some and not others? Obiously some rate the appearance of the device to be more important than what it does. I know I'm going to get flamed big-time for this, but worship of form over function seems to be a common trait of the Apple crowd. I truly appreciate beauty, but not so much in a tool. I used an iPad for a year and always felt like I was using a fine watch: attractive, but not adaptable to what I wanted to do. Those of us that value function more will probably never understand the other way of thinking.

Mine has ZERO light bleed and I know all about that. I use to own 3 Infinity's and that's because the first two had intolerable light bleed the third I just lived with.
I'm guessing google sacrificed build quality so they could keep prices down -- Dont really understand why it is important for your device to "look" cool when the purpose of the device is media consumption / productivity. Besides, I would bet upwards of 60% of consumers get a case for their device...whats the point of that back-flex when you have a hard shell case?

nexus 10 left top plastic corner raised

is any1 suffering from a raised corner on the front top left where the glass and plastic case touch similar to the image attached.
If I didn't know any better that looks exactly like what would happen if someone tried to haphazardly disassemble his Nexus 10 by trying to pry the glass out of the shell with a screwdriver. That isn't a defect.. That was done by a human.

You relish being an a-hole? You buy a 500 dollar tablet and you don't expect to have such things. I personally would call Google for a replacement unless the screen is perfect otherwise. My n10 repair came back with one of those marks after Samsung replaced the screen for dead pixels and the thing had awful flex and light bleed. They also managed to scratch up the back of it and i had to send it back in. If it bothers you get a replacement.

Manufacturers must love people like you, they get to make more mistakes with products, while the consumer doesn't care, thus keeping costs down
the fact is i also dont use a case as yet, mayb the defect was since day 1 but i never cared to notice it, untill i was putting on the bodyguardz screen protector

You can see my pics, mines exactly the same, but bottom right corner. And I know the plastic's never been picked at, never been out of it's case...
I think there must be batch of these that has this defect... it looks way to smooth and well fitting to be the result of post-production damage.
i would RMA this ASAP. definitely a manufacture defect.
After taking mine apart (trying to get at an ant)... I can tell you that it is definitely a defect (result of inadequate cooling during injection molding, maybe...) I can also tell you it probably does not affect the actual build reliability (quality is a different subjective measure that is an individual matter), due to how they are assembled.

Quality control of HTC one...

I am a tech savy person who love new gadgets.
In my previous days, I had galaxy s3, note 2, and iPhone 5. Also I've went to T-Mobile store to buy the Sony Xperia z.
Sony was a great phone with waterproof and dust proof. But the downside out weigh my decision.
Sony had problems with their ui, like lag, and slow updates. Also WiFi reception were terrible. Also the battery won't hold charges and it would die within matter of couple hours. The phone's design is all glass, therefore... Holding the device would be extremely uncomfortable because it would get way too hot.
So I've went ahead and got the HTC one.
As far as ui goes, it's far surprior than Sony.
Only issues I have with my HTC one is one stuck dead pixel and making small popping noises through speakers. ( I will be exchanging next week)
Anywho, besides those few quality issues, HTC one feels good in hand. Just wanting to keep playing with the phone.
Anyways, is having stuck pixel quiet common? Along with low popping noises ?
I'll get the HTC one, because it's unique design and it's not galaxy phone. ( just joking). What are you experiences with the quality issues with the HTC one?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The popping sound is normal. It's just the amplifier turning on and off.
The dead pixel seems to be common as well. If it's not too noticeable I wouldn't worry about it and just enjoy your phone.
Nothing is perfect in life.
popping sound will be gone with CM 10.2 unofficial.
Had this sound too while using Stock Rom, ARHD or Trickdroid.
Also i've got a very small gap on top of the device but i can live with it^^
Yeah like not really even finger nail width but enough to see it close if you pinch down? That's what I have too. Got a clear Cimo grip back TPU case coming in a day or 2 from Amazon so once the clear case is on I wouldn't even see it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The dead pixel is very small and only can be seen at black images or at dark places. But still visiable.
Also there is slight gap on top of my device. I'll still return and get the different one.
Oh and my usb charging poet has a chip... This was out of the box as well.

i bought my htc one at my local t-mobile store. it was perfect. then i bought my gf the same phone 1 week later from the same store. her phone had 1 dead pixel that was very annoying. you could only see it on a white screen. but it was a pretty big square. so i took it back and the replacement one was perfect. i wouldn't deal with a dead pixel with a brand new phone.
is this gap normal? got my one yesterday.

it should be not "normal" but seems to happen quite often :/
I've got the same gap but it starts near the power button and goes to the left corner (facing the phone as normal)
Cool, t mobile is sending me a new one so if the one they send is the same I will just keep this one. Otherwise it's one sexy device

So, I went to the local store and found the one with 7/2/13 manufactured HTC one. I assume being the lastest made was gonna be on par with quality.
And volla! My third one paid off! It's in perfect quality. No dead pixels, no gaps, no glue sticking out.
Mean while, I made a call to tmobile and they sent me another one... But this one looks like refurbished phone. But didn't have any dead pixels. Although it has small gap and glue sticking out... Looks very refurbished and looks like the company were rushing the device to build.
Both are solid without any noticeable defects. I'll be keeping the one out of new box. And send the replacement one. Although this one doesn't have any dead pixels.
I guess later built phones are more quality vs earlier manufactured date. So far, it's an amazing phone. I'm so happy with it in the end and paid off!
Anyways, wish you the best everyone.
