I've had the Z1 and Z Ultra before and now I have a Z2 and Z2 tablet.
My current Z2 has a less than 1mm gap on the upper right corner and bottom left corner.
I noticed that the tablet also has some very tiny gaps.
Is this something to be concerned about? First I thought maybe it has to be that way and I googled about it but could only find those extreme gaps.
I guess there's no phone that is 100% fit around the whole frame.
This is pretty much just quick thread so I can stop thinking about it.
Thanks !
I strongly believe it must be like this because of extansion/extraction issue. This phone is made of glass, metal .......

Yea, I told myself that as well and that the phone aren't defect but since I'm not an expert or know fully it felt better asking.
So yours the same?
Mine has that small little gap didn't notice till I read your post. There all probably like that...

I just got my mini pro last Friday and it was great. Then I saw the forums over the weekend about the electrostatic noise and realized mine was making an even louder noise than the rest of the people. Had my unit replaced yesterday and now the noise is minimal. Even the issue I had with menus closing on their own is gone (screen issue I guess). The thing I noticed now with my new unit is that the bottom part with the keyboard is a bit loose connected to the top screen part. Like whenever I type using the screen it sometimes creeks or moves. But this doesn't always happen. Sometimes it doesn't creek, sometimes it does. My first unit was pretty solid and didn't move at all. Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a factory defect? I'm okay with it mostly because this unit was better than my last one.

It is most likely a defect. I've read reviews and they all say the keyboard is solid. Mine is nice and sturdy as well.

Yep the keyboard is solid when I use it. But when I type using the on screen keyboard it creeks sometimes.

Well in that case maybe not. Mine doesn't do that but it sounds pretty normal. Is it just a faint creek?

Yeah it's just a faint creek. Like the top part of the phone slightly doesn't touch the bottom. Well, maybe you're right that it might be a manufacturing fault but proving this to a warranty claim for factory defect might be hard. :-(

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.

yes but the fact is i never did any such thing, i simply use the tablet as i dont suffer any other issue at all except this which i noticed just today, after a week since i got it that too while installing a screen protector
Hey, mine has one just like that!
Though I'm 73% sure that it happened when I was trying to take it out of its case.
Don't buy crappy cases...

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200381
Here's a link to the thread I started... I had searched and searched, but couldn't find this... someone over there PM'd me this...
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.

To be honest I would take a raised corner over light bleed. I'd weigh the pros and cons before RMA lol
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I would do a RMA in every circumstances .
- Rised corners
- battery issues
- not working usb , hdmi socket
- screen bleeding
- constant wifi drop
- constant restarts with stock rom
- speakers buzz
And any other unusual problems that are not in the specs
Its a product made by samsung supervised by google for god sake ... Should be a allmost flawless device with little devices with problems .
( Question : its that hard to pun a big battery and a small circuit board inside a solid case ? ) ipad and all the other tablets cost too much for a simple thing called material . software shoul cost more valuable because it is free and inteligence its there more than hardware ..
We all have problems here with this .. It s too much
Shame !

Hi All,
Got mine today after a long battle with the M8 and its many problems. . .
I have noticed mine has a gap in the top right like many others have but has anyone been in for a waterproof test yet?
In all honestly i'm just curious to know rather then it being a problem for me as I dont have the desire to be dipping into water or swim with it.
It doesnt bother me although I know its not nice having it there but again it doesnt look as bad as the way the original HTC One had gaps open round the metal.
So yep anyone concerned or even taken it to a Sony centre?
Cheers
Mine doesn't have any gap. Well not that I can see. I will not risking trying to dip in in water. Even though it is supposed to be waterproof I am not sure they will cover it.

yeah i dont have the desire as I say to be dipping into water . .its seems more ppl have the gap then others . ..
coming from the M8 with multiple scuffs and marks on the metal out the box its really pleasing that its just a gap i have as it doesnt look bad but still the waterproof protection and dust may still be affected by this.
plus I plan to put a case on mine in the end so the gap will be covered up anyway . .I know I shudnt ave to cover it but Im never gonna be carrying a glass phone naked!
Where did you order yours? Maybe you can get it exchanged and hope to get one of the newer batches?
It was phone's 4 u in UK so not the best place to get phone's in my experience so far.. I have been advised to go into store so staff can have a look...

Has it ever been proven that the 'gap' is actually a problem? People seem to get them replaced without ever testing, could be all for nothing?

I believe due to the scarcity of Sony stores in certain areas that people just decide to not bother testing and just sent it back.
Don't know if this is related but anyone who has the gap issue, is the camera lens slightly off centre too? Mine is (although it doesn't affect the camera quality).
I'm not sure what I should do because I've only recently realised I have the very minute gap at the top right but I got my phone on the 22nd of April through mobiles.co.uk so I wonder if I can simply go to a carphone warehouse shop to discuss it or if I have to do it through mobile.co.uk.

But i don't think this small gap become cause of water damage!
i mean this gap is in surface of phone and it s not like hole that connect outside to inside of phone!
so it s just ugly...
:good:
I have the gap issue, there is a slight gap on the front top right & a more noticeable one on the front bottom left, I didn't spot it at first but a mate that was admiring the phone did as he spotted a small bit of tobacco trapped between the gap & the bezel.

Alright, I thought **** it, put my phone under water with the small gap, everything was fine no problems.
As i mentioned i did ask if ppl had taken to sony fot testing .. It bothers me as some ppl say they dont have gaps and its more noticeable because of the left side bring flush with the galss

Yeah I know what you mean, I want to go to a Sony Centre but nearest one to me is Leeds and I don't like going into Leeds at the best of times but I will go not next week but the week after and have a chat with them.
Im going back back into shop tomorrow to check their other Z2 stock and see how they r.. If theres no gaps then its getting exchange... Thought i cud live with it but it makes the screen at top look angled as left top side is fine and right side drops down

i have recorded 4k video for around 21mins one time. my device got hot enought to cook my food on it and the back didnt crack
the only way the Z2 glass will crack (that i logicly know of) is from leaving it in a Car in the middle of summer (40*C tempratures and above)

Hi, I just noticed that the screen is a little bit sunken into the tablet. So the transition from screen to metal edge is not that smooth, the metal edge stands a bit out. Is this normal?
please post color, model, place of purchase

Think I will stay off the forum for a little while, so I can make my own mind up.
Don't help reading negative reviews if you know what I mean ?
My screen is slightly sunken all round. I personally feel this could be intentional to help limit the risk of scratches if someone is careless enough to set their tablet down screen side down.
