Hi guys, has anyone come across any defect like a bubbling effect in the paint finish of the housing of the s6 edge??.
I only notice it when the fluorescent light at work hits it & it gives off a reflective shine. I've given the phone a good going over and have noticed this defect is on the right side near the front facing camera & then again near the back button. (See picture)
Sorry its not that clear, but it was a pain trying to capture it
What do you guys reckon?
Picture
There are little small wrinkles on the reflection. It's not a mirror surface and I never expected it to be. Mine is similar to yours in the same spot but unless I'm trying really hard to see it, it isn't there.

Yes, "wrinkles" describes it better!. Is this a defect in the finish? Its annoying now as I know its there. It can't be normal, as I only have two spots where the wrinkle affect is!.
It's not in the surface of the glass, just the metallic finish. I don't think you'll ever find one that doesn't have it.

I have the Same "wrinkle" marks on my S6 one near the front camera as well, and one above the back button. And three "pimple" like dots near the home button. Not that noticeable though.

Hey,
I was watching the videos and the hands-on pictures of galaxy s3 and i noticed that there's an ugly gap between the screen and the bezel and its really bothering me, especially on the white version of the phone. Can anyone tell me why is it that way? I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find any so i decided to ask it here.
Thanks for the replies in advance.
I thing every phone has this black gap
not as much as s3
I too noticed the gap and it is much more visible in white sgs3 than blue. lets see what the s3 users say
It's there, but I don't even notice unless I focus on it. The screen is way to good to focus on a small black gap.

I didn't realize it was there until reading this post ;-) Non-issue IMO.
BTW I have the white SGIII.

you know i was deciding to change my mind and wait for pebble blue color bcoz i thought that gap would be an issue. Thanks for clarifying.
Literally didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I have the white and its fine. Probably less noticeable on the blue.

but its so visible lol howcome you didnt notice that 0_o
Have you held a S III in your own hands yet? Videos/photos don't show the real beauty of the phone. Don't be so quick to judge

I noticed the gaps on my first S3, i went for a replacement this morning because of very obvious spots on my display under black background. Suprisingly, the new unit does not have gaps between the bezel and screen. It fits nicely.
I hade this gap too, should i return it ? I have a smaller One side of the bigger that are under the home button
I had this gap on my White S3, its like screen was coming off and i can see small amount of glu coming out of it.
i went back to shop and exchange with new one which is fine no issues now.
I too never noticed the gap until this thread...not an issue IMO (I have a white S3)
Sorry to revive this thread but I also have this under my home button (though not nearly as bad as mani79 had). I just see a small "ridge" between the screen and plastic bezel.
The display model at my local AT&T store has it as well.
in having a look at my white s3, i dont have any issues whatso ever, not even a small amount of lifting or seperation. Must just be luck of the draw
Notice the ridge between the chrome and glass in this stock photo? That's what I'm talking about. That little ridge.
just check, mine looks ok
I have the pebble blue version and a small gap on the bottom - it isnt noticeable though but I will keep an eye on it as I wont be happy if it starts filling up with dust and becomes unsightly.
This phone has a gap similar but slightly worse than mine. Notice the gap on the right and bottom of the screen.
so i have the phone for 7 days now, and yesterday i noticed this. (add on imgur link)

also my battery back cover seems to have little space in upper right corner, should i ask for new one ? other than that it's all good.

Well I have received a Nexus with dirt underneath before and had a refund. I never had dirt going under the screen if the screen was clean in the first place for any Galaxy phones. My SIII back cover also doesn't snap in smoothly on all edges, I think its simply poor design.
Please clean the screen before taking photos. It's really smeared.
Go to a dark room (I mean really dark) and check if that 'speck' seems to light or not. If yes, then it's a bright pixel (one that lights but should not)
No matter the picture, I find the TPU case (with plugs for both connectors) does a nice job of keeping dust out of the phone. It even goes over the bevel in the front so if there is a gap there, the damage should be minimised (dust wise)

Hi guys,
So I'm posting here to ask you if this is normal or not. I'm noticing that there's a tiny tiny crack between the biezel that joins the screen to the backplate of the phone (where the plastic of the screen meets the rubber plastic of the back. This is at the bottom near the usb port in the middle between the home button and the back button. It's tiny, however it's enough that some of the white light coming from the capacitive buttons escapes from that crack/gap whatever it is that.
I've had the phone for more than 15 days now and I never noticed because this is the first time I've used the phone in a pitch black room. That's when I noticed a very dim white light escaping the biezel at that position. However, that's the only way to see it, even under close inspection you cannot see any gaps or anything... only when the surrounding is really really dark.
I hope that I explained it well because unfortunately I don't have another camera to take a picture with to show you.
Try to use your phone in a pitch black room and you should see it right away or not?
thank you,
I experience nothing like this on mine.

I've been suffering the dust issue on 2 lumias now, and have noticed something. If you go to a darkish room/area and tilt the phone, you can see the light from the backlight coming through on the sides of the screen and also at the top and bottom by the capacitive buttons.
e.g. http://discussions.nokia.com/discus...ith_Windows_Phone/30650/1/2012-12-15-1679.jpg
I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can go to a dark area, and see whether they all have this or not? Kinda worried me because made me think there's a manufacturing defect here and the screen isn't secured properly on the handset - which could maybe account for dust getting in? It might also explain the 'rattle' on vibrate that some are getting.
The three lumias I've seen all seem to have this to a certain extent (the light on the sides is usually much thinner and normally on either the right or the left - not both).
ANyone?

Funny enough, I had mine sent in for repairs due to scratches on the screen. After having the screen replaced I have NO light Issues and no more dust issues.
Seems during the initial build the screen is not fitted in or glued in properly ?

Oh christ....don't know what to do now. Could either wait until a new batch comes along without this issue or buy one now and send it off to Nokia. I'm rather depressed about the prospect of sending a brand new product away to be opened again

You GENUINELY have none? I.e. no thin strip of light running down the side(s), no light just above and to the right of the windows key? None above the search key? NONE?!
You must have been sent Elop's personal phone. I've looked at around 6...not that many admitedly, but all from different places so the maths of it all as coincidence is bleak.
Treasure it my friend.

No leaks (or dust) here either.
I really tried to find any kind of light leak, but found really nothing.

OK cheers guys....well I guess either I'm having a psychotic episode or the unlocked batches ive looked at in the UK are defective.
Thanks anyways x
How would you define the light leak, eg, if I look at the screen on a very extreme angle, I can see through a minute gap at the bottom and see light from those buttons through it through the screen, but in normal circumstances it isnt noticeable at all. like the light isnt uneven or anything like that

Well it's like in the picture link that I put on the first page - Except as well as the top and bottom, there's also a small amount on the sides too that can be made to partly disappear if you push down hard on the screen there - I.e. the impression the glue holding the screen down is loose. It appears on all the ones I've seen, but I don't know, if you guys say you haven't seem it maybe I've just had extraordinary bad luck! It doesn't affect the screen when looking at it normally but it makes me worry for the future - loose things tend to become looser with time, and my theory is this, the dust and the vibrate rattle are interconnected.
I'm looking at my 920 and I think I see what you mean. On the top I see the light across almost the whole top but not at the sides or bottom. Is really a concern (I don't look at the phone at an extreme angle like that..)

Oh ok sorry, I didn't look at the pic. The vibration rattle (from what I've read) is just how it is because of the kind of vibrator (for lack of a better word I can think of) technology. Would have been good to have a nice clean vibration humm being a flagship phone...
Nothing seems to change for me when I compress the screen. Perhaps you really did just get a bit of a dodgy one?
Me either. I just did it again to make certain I wasn't lying to you. I cannot see anything from any angle. Now I'm starting to feel a little guilty.
I'm on my second 920 because the first one had a problem with switching back to handset mode after unplugging a headphone jack, but neither of them have any light leak! Maybe it is a manufacturing defect because of rushed batches due to the supply problems?

No light leak, but there are dust under front camera and once in a while the proximity sensor activates all the time.
Anyone noticed gaps between the metal edge and the screen on the alpha? Seems like people have only reported this problem on the note 4. Mine has very noticeable gap at the top left corner, and lower right corner as well.
Sure it doesn't affect its functionality, but it kinda annoys me that there is shis asymmetrical gap on such a beatiful design. Seems to me like yet another quality control fail.
Do you guys have this kind of gap?

No, not at all, even though I have a black version I cant seem to find it. Although it've had some burn-ins on the display itself when I bought the phone and I'm looking forward to getting a new one through warranty if possible.

Same location as mine? I guess this would be a common problem on the ATT version then. Mine is ATT too. And there is also a gap on the lower right corner. It almost feels like the screen pannel is put into the metal frame at an angle rather than straght.

I also see a very very very small gap on the top left (a few microns?) this might be on purpose to relieve the forces on the screen should the aluminium shrink due to temperature.

850M Factory Unlocked Black - no gaps.
Checking out a few S6 versions- great Camera of course and louder speaker - but from the front I think Alpha and Note 4 are nicer looking.
I love how when you make a Call then hit Home button the Call shrinks to this mini window while you go Online or to another App- perfect multitasking-
One of the main things I will miss if I go to S6.
Touchwiz is more scaled back on my Alpha than S6....
S6 seems a bit more scatterbrained- lol although it can be fixed and customized.
I would also miss the beauty and size of Alpha-
Bet the Scuba Blue Alpha looks really cool- those were very hard to get.
Nope, European 850F model, and no gaps.
I'm not even seeing it in your photo. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong thing? Draw a red circle around an example?
