After using my S10+ ceramic for a few days now I have noticed something very peculiar
I First noticed while watching YouTube in bed that it started to buffer a lot when I held it around the edges with both thumbs and index fingers
But as I'm in an old house didn't think to much off it
Then while watching a clip in portrait mode and switching to the above mentioned grip I noticed that the wifi bars went from nearly full to empty
I have a s9+ and a pixel 2 here and tried the same thing but noticed no signal issues
Anyone else noticed the same ? Is this an issue ?

Haven't really seen any posts on this, so maybe I just got a lemon...
Got my Flyer last night and first thing I noticed was that I had some light-bleed at the bottom of the screen in portait mode. 2 greenish blobs to be exact. Also some more slight bleed along the right side from top to bottom. I cranked up the brightness to just how bad it was, and lo and behold, found 3 stuck pixels.
Examined it a bit more and noticed a slight gap with light passing through along the bottom edge, where the screen meets the bezel. And last but not least, also a jaggy scratch on the aluminum itself.
I'm going to take back to BB and exchange for another, was wondering if anyone else had flaws like these? HTC build quality is usually pretty good, so I was surpised to see this on mine.

There seems to be some different issues depending on which version people have bought (EU/US/other, Wifi only/3G+Wifi).
I have EU 3G+Wifi,32GB version, my screen and the exterior was perfect, but the touch sensors are totally irratic. Sometimes the far most left edge doesn't respond in portrait mode, some times it seems to respond to nothing at all, just flicking the home screens around, pulling the status bar down, launching shortcuts, or typing random stuff, even the soft keys are buzzing and active when this happens.
It actually did this from the first time I powered it on, and it took me 30 mins to get through the first few steps to get it up an running because it kept pressing the wrong places and quite often hitting the back soft key. I tried a factory reset, it helped slightly, tried recalibrating the keyboard, tried various hacks found around these forums, nothing helped. It seems worse in landscape mode than portrait.
I am getting it replaced by Amazon, which is quite nice since it also seems to acquire scratches very easily, even using the capacitive end of the pen has left tiny tiny marks. So, I ordered some screen protectors just to be on the safe side.
No issues with mine, sounds like you just got a dud.
No issues with my and is 16 gb wifii
Ok, just exchanged and got my 2nd one at a different BB... more problems.
This one also has some light-bleed at the bottom, but not as bad as the 1st one. Also has 2 stuck pixels, you can see them perfectly using one of those screen tester apps. And lastly, the volume rocker is loose, when I pick up the tablet, it makes a rattling sound.
Also weird, when I first booted up, had a default wallpaper of a blue skateboarding Android on a dark background... was not the normal default HTC wallpaper, wtf? lol. The box was sealed shut, had never been opened. Weird.
So back to the store again tomorrow, gonna exchange.
Edit: Tried out one of those stuck pixel fixer apps and didn't work. The stuck pixel is red, can see it perfectly on a dark background. I'd be willing to keep this one despite that, but the loose rattling vol rocker is driving me nuts. Argghh!
Ok, I guess 3rd time's a charm because I got Flyer #3 today and seems to be perfect - no dead/stuck pixels or rattling vol rocker! Everything seems solid.
Interestingly, on #1 and #2, the 3d carousel effect never worked at all. But on this one it works fine. Really surprised I had to go through 2 bum units first to finally get one that wasn't defective..
Hey. Did someone get his Prime in the last week?
I wanna know if the models are better than the first few weeks models.
I got mine this week (canadian cbil) and the wifi is horrible. I don't believe any fixes have been made yet.

I got a Gray from Best Buy on Monday (shipped last Friday), and here's a report:
1. Significant light bleed all around the screen. The worst of the three Primes I've tried out so far.
2. A terrible yellow cast to the screen. I know what people are talking about now when they complain about this. Two out of the three Primes I've tried have had excellent screens (except for minimal light bleed) with good colors. This one is horrible.
3. Haptic feedback is the same as on my Champagne model: mostly just makes a funky sound punctuated intermittently by actual vibration. Call it non-working.
Otherwise, this one is similar to the other three in terms of wifi, GPS, BT, etc.
Got mine this week from Best Buy, Ordered Friday, Receieved Wed.
Gray 32gig.
1. Opened it up and as soon as I hit the power button I saw 2 bright pixels areas against the black background. Not that big a deal at first.
2. Turned it on trying to ignore the on pixels and opened the web browser. 2 more areas with super bright/dulled pixels. So now 4 bad areas.
3. Light bleed on 3 out of 4 sides.
4. Wifi very sluggish when normal laptop wifi works fine.
Didn't try BT, GPS seemed to lock on fine, could have been based on Wifi though.
I got mine two days ago. I haven't noticed any big issues. I haven't bothered with gps. I didn't test bluetooth streaming and wifi performance. Unusual lag from time to time. Couple software issues but nothing that seems hardware related or unfixable yet.

Interesting, so are you saying out of the 3 TF's you've seen, 2 of them have a cooler color temperature screen than the latest one you have?
Seems like there is nothing to do but to go for the Galaxy Tab 10.1
Got mine yesterday was delivered by UPS ordered from Best Buy 1/5. Everything working as it should...no lifting of the glass...minimal light bleed...no dead pixels...valid serial...only issue a small spec of dust causing a greyish shadow on light colored backgrounds...not that noticeable watchin vids and playing games but web browsing/e-reading it is...thing is i dont want to return this be witout the tab for weeks for a replacement only to get one with worse issues and unknown serial...gonna hold on to this one and RMA it if need be once the major bugs have been worked out down the road.

Precisely. The two are not as cold as my wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, but I tend to like warmer colors anyways so I consider that a good thing.
But man, the third one--ouch. Whites in particular are distinctly yellow-tinged, although everything tends to be overall.
Received my 32G grey TP yesterday. Ordered on 1/5 from Best Buy.
All seems good. Upgraded to ICS without issue. No light bleed. Wifi is a bit weak. Haven't tried bluetooth yet.
Think I am really gonna like this little beast!
Got mine today from ebuyer boxed with both tablet and dock! (Im in London UK)
Had absolutely no problems with it at all, no pixel probs, wi-fi, gps takes about 15 mins to lock with wi-fi off and a few secs with it on.
Upgraded to ICS because it kept nagging me too, and its still running perfectly, no issues here at all, i love it.
I picked up mine today....so far seems good. Updated to ICS, will take some time to get use to that over HC. Does anyone know of the model numbers I got a CBil unit her ein Canada (otherwise it's a BC0K unit)
A quick history - bought a white note on release day, along with speck candyshell case. like with most new phones, had the back off and on several times a day the first few days. broke a few tabs on it, but it lived in its case, no big deal. Well I noticed that data signal in my office was terribly splotchy. I would get signal, drop it, repeat. returned the note after 2 weeks and swapped for another new one.
2nd phone - started with great signal, got worse and worse (also broke a few tabs on the back cover). Well, I was sick of the loose fitting back cover (you could tell even with the case on) so I folded up a receipt and put it between the back of my phone and my case to hold pressure against the back plate.
SIGNAL ISSUES COMPLETELY RESOLVED. I cannot believe how well this phone picks up now. Apparently, the 2 little contact points on the back plate (and the antenna-chip thingy on the backplate) help to aid in signal strength. figured I'd post up to share if anyone has similar issues.
Oh, and I'm kicking myself now because the first phone never had ANY black clipping/crush issues (I started Lost season 1 on Netflix when I got the phone, one episode a night in a pitch black bedroom), and this one has it so bad that you can't even make out dark scenes.

Those contacts you see on the back plate is for NFC not signal Strenth
I know the purpose of the chip in the backplate is for NFC, but it makes a huge difference in signal strength.

I dont think it has anything to do with the cellular antenna
Yesterday while using my fone i noticed my bezel seemed wider than i cud remember....so when i looked closer i saw the outer edge of the screen (1/16 wide) didnt light up on the right side of the screen...whats the cause of this??? I know it was fine most of the day nd noticed it first in the evening?
Hi,
I just recently bought the Tab S6 and I just realized that the screen, although it had great colors, has an awful pixel response time. But whats much more worse than that is the fact that every time i scroll a web page vertically, I get a screen wobble. What I mean by that is that the screen isn't scrolling at the same speed on both sides. One is always a little bit behind. Is that just for me and can anyone else test and report his results here?
Best regards!
It seems like under further investigation, that this is caused by the screens vertical synchronization. Or better the non existing virtual synchronization. When taking a slow motion video of the screen I can easily see the individual parts "scrolling" one after another.
Guess thats just bad programming to not enable vsync.
I just got s6 and I noticed it too.
Just logged in after a few years and necro'd this threat to say that the same thing is happening to the unit I just bought today. It's very noticeable. What I don't understand is how not even one of the 10 reviews I read on this tablet mention it. Who are the people who review these things? Absolutely ridiculous. I got mine for a good price and it's still great as a tablet for watching HDR movies which is what I bought it for. But honestly...this sort of thing should never exist on a flagship tablet.
