hello everyone
Today I noticed my x10 creaks when using the bottom three buttons and sometimes the touchscreen. I bought the phone brand new from carrier 2 days ago, does anyone else experience this? its nothing TOO serious, just quite annoying for someone with OCD like myself. What should I do?

It is a plastic-ey phone, with many components, so there will be some creaking.. Don't think you can do anything about it, sorry

does yours do the same?
My buttons don't make any noise. If you even hear the noise when pressing on the screen, maybe the back cover isn't fitted correctly?

Thats what I mean, its' not the buttons that make noise, but the back cover I believe.. when pressure is applied. I checked to make sure it is fitted correctly and it is. Also I believe there is a slight creaking on the front panel as well. Is this normal?
Yup, mine makes a noise too, but its not noticeable unless you're listening for it

No that's not normal. If it's only the back cover, maybe it's bend because you applied too much pressure when pulling it off. But if the front also creaks then there's something wrong. mine doesn't make creaking noises at all.
hmm. thanks to both of you for your responses. I don't know, I am getting 2 different answers. I wish I had another X10 to compare

I have 2 X10s, they both make the same noise
Its not such a big problem really... you get used to it after a while
Or maybe its just a problem with Canadian X10s
Mine creaks too now, but that's after about 5 months of heavy to semi heavy use.

I kno what you mean, but I had iphone before and the thing was as solid as a rock. With the X10, I apply pressure I can feel some 'give' as if i am pressing the panels together, which creates the slight creaking noise. I dont even know if I could describe it as creaking, its very minor but still noticeable
When I had the black x10a it creak for me when I pressed the back button. After a few days I bought the x10I to have 3g on tmobile and it doesn't creak. Maybe its the x10a only?
I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D

Hey, yeh mine creaks too, its more so the side pressure of the hand squeezing the sides when in yur palm, than the force down of the buttons. Im not very satisfied with the elcheapo effect of the back cover, lol. I too was an iphone user, solid rock, but i love my x10a!
Thanks to everyone, I guess it's semi-normal, I wish it wouldnt make any noises because it makes it feel cheap
Creeking here aswell and it is actually the battery making the noice since its probably has got a tiny bit deformed in 8 months of pocket riding it is able to move somewhat in it's compartment. Everything else is solid.
And i have to really stress it to make it creek, nothing really bothering.

^Thats a good point. Last night I was sitting on the couch and couldn't remember where I put my x10 down. I stood up and realized I was sitting on it. Not a big deal considering its a pretty cushy couch but I probably squished the battery together a bit.
I think only white ones make noise my black x10i is very solid

I know 4 people who also have the xperia x10, never heard them complaining about creaking. Never heard it either. We all have the black x10i.
Somebody here said something about a deformed battery, that could be true indeed. Lithium polymer battery's have no plastic case, they can be bend or deformed. It could be the reason your x10 makes creaking noises.
You could buy another back cover from ebay, they're not expensive.

I just placed my order for the Evo and should be receiving it sometime this week.
I am wondering if maybe keeping the phone in a tight-fitting silicone case might help to reduce any possible "DISPLACEMENT" of the screen
glad to see this is getting media attention. i'm sick of htc and their crappy quality control. i went through this whole thing with my hero already...
and yes, my screen is coming apart too. it definitely wasn't like that when i got it last week.

Dang it!!! mine starting to raise up as well I love this phone and Sprint service but I'm afraid the problem will worsen up as the time passes. I'm not the type to switch devices after every new released and perfer to hang to something until I feel it's not doing what I ask it to (still have HTC Uni, 8525, Treo 750 and Axim x51v).
This and the 30 fps capped is my only main concern about this phone, especially this screen separation (more light leakage or dust problem). The rest of the problem doesn't really bother me much such as the laggy touch input, improperly grounded screen and other problem doesn't apply to my device.
Is it worth the hassel of exchanging it hoping to get one without the screen separation or do they all have this problem? I'm hoping the newer hardware version (version 3) doesn't have this sort of problem, mine is hardware version 2. What you guys think?
I have been noticing more and more light leaking. I thought at first I was maybe just getting paranoid (still possible) but I saw a line about 1.5 cm long along the lower left side last night... That was definitely not there before.
What should I do? Would getting the TEP plan be prudent at this point, to cover this issue if/when it gets worse? Or would be the kind of thing HTC would be more... lenient about replacements?

Yeah I actually just tried this and it worked pretty well only a little of leakage left, I figure I'll seal it up some more when I have the time and Im pretty sure I did not hold it down long enough to let it cool effectively. but the parts that are still down work like a charm. way better than having to go back, lose all your apps, headaches of customer service, etc.

So this is the reason I see light under the buttons when their off and the screen is off, and its dark in the room? because my screen seems to be holding up well, and I have it in my pocket all day, no case or screen protectors. then again, I haven't been messing with it, trying to apply things or mods to it.
Hair dryer, bubble gum, tape and what else?! These are high-end devices (Evo Nexus One, etc) and they should NOT need a MacGyver handbook to keep them together after days of ownership. HTC needs to do right by us from the design stage period!
Dear Babies,
This is a site about hacking phones. Stop *****ing and use your brains for a change. Get some black silicon caulk from Lowes. Rub a small small amount in the crack where the buttons meet the case where the light leaks. Congratulations, your phone can now be left in the desert for 10 years and nothing will get through that seam including light... I swear, you guys can spend all day rooting phones but cant use some damn common sense to fix the hardware itself. I had tons of light leakage when i got the phone. Zero now, and you cant tell i did anything to it.

To true getting tired i need a holiday, but anyway what i notice is when i put my back on and press down on the back to slide it up i can hear the screen creaking as if is popping up and down on the glue
i think its a joke how the forum seems to have a "it will do" attitude. I think its pathetic how these things are built! I shouldnt have to pay £400 for something thats built poorly. Yes the screen not being flush with the plastic or the screen moving or making creaking sounds may "not bother you" but it will when three months down the line things stop working like the phone speaker which has happened to a few already. Im sure by then because they wont see this as a MAJOR fault dell will just say..you dropped it and broke it.
Need a petition because I have real OCD with this phone and i want it PERFECT!.

I must admit that i totally agree and i'm already on my fourth Streak. Problems with them so far have ranged from the screen not turning on, loose ear piece and one with a constant flickering screen. I'd like to send this back but with so much time having passed the best i could hope for is a refurb

Nothing will ever be perfect, what a childish request. Considering how thin the Streak is, of coarse it will wear under any semi-hard conditions like sliding the battery cover on if not held properly. You may even be flexing the screen on accident in your pocket or while using.

No I dont even put it in my pocket. Iv kept it at home in its little case, reason being I use a normal phone when out and about untill I get 2.2 on there.
Fair enought I dont want it perfect but its still a ISSUE...it wont be untill people realise that all these phones mess up in a years time due to this little issue. The side can only get more and more raised it wont fix itself magically.
Its like you going to buy a brand new car and finding the front bumper is slightly out of line...are you going to just put up with it?
Its even been mentioned on some forums as maybe the reason its not released in the US. I mean people over the pond dont have the ****ty "it'll do attitude" they have the "if I dont get what I pay for I will sue" attitude which a much more prefer!
Its a HUGE defect for the screen to be dodgey and the top plastic half to be pealing off!
How are people on their 4th streak? What the hell are you doing to them?
I've had my streak for about 2-3 weeks now. No creaks, no loose fittings, no non-working speakers. not sure why i'm bothering listing things as everything about this phone is brilliant (except the camera )
Best build quality of any phone i've ever had. Good job dell i say.
Its inevitable that a phone so big and so thin will get bent and twisted and will wear as a result. With regards to the quality issue its mostlikely due to the mass production of the phone as cheaply as possible. Although I agree the quality of the streak is fantastic it's also inevitable that some will be defective
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
No problems here thus far all good
I've just watched that video where the streak is taken apart and i've come to the conclusion that its probably the glass and screen moving as one inside the case on the back. Hopefully this is the case as it would mean that the glue between the glass and screen is fully intact and could also explain the cracking the other poster was experiencing.
what the people with the "good" phones dont seem to understand is the difference between wear and just coming out of the box. These problems with the screen being flush have been since opening the box and not after use...
In a previous thread I stated how overpriced I thought the dell polyurethane case was and it is however one unexpected side effect it seems to have is the way it grips the streak seems to strengthen the device as it adds an extra rigidity to it so and it will be less likely to flex.If you carry yours in your pocket I would suggest you consider the case as it does provide protection from potential movement and flex

Mine are OK for now, but since this thread started, I began to think and I realised I hardly press any of the hardware buttons
(I have even disabled the Home Button from waking up screen while locked
I have a shortcut on Launcher Pro's dock for Camera
and I put my phone to silent through the lockscreen and not the volume buttons),
so maybe it's true: after some extensive use, the paint deteriorates.
Hmm, I am a heavy user and use my fingernails to press the buttons. 5 months so far and no issues with the buttons chipping.
I mean, it's common for frequently used buttons to chip...my blackberry's volume buttons and area around the scroll ball did as well, just not in a randomly sudden manner.
I took the phone to a Docomo shop, and they said for $30USD, they'd replace the entire housing, including buttons. Sounds like a good deal, since I've dropped the phone a few times...hmm.
Weird.
Yesterday I was noticing a little flake that came out. Now I see this post.
Just to break the trend a bit here:
My buttons and all the "silver coat" are all fine, not even a scratch, yet I use this thing a LOT. a Heavy user even.
Instead I have some "wearout" on the scratchresistant Film/coating on the screen. Not much, but it's there if one look closely.
I don't notice it on daily usage anyway, so I'm not worried. I am a "heavy user" after all... (whole 100 kg )
And SE did ship this thing with an extra film to replace the pre-installed one with.
i am considered a "heavy user" ....i use the menu button the most to wake the phone up and the back button quite a bit..no chipping yet (knock on wood)
My fingerprint/power button is slightly slanted. I was wondering if this is just me or not. The button is lifted slightly from one end.

okay at least im not the only one. a friend of mine thought it was a protective piece of plastic that needed to be peeled off at first. it looked too thick to be something like that so i tested it first to see if it would read my finger which it did so i left it on..
odd that motorola would place it like that
it is an inset reader attached to the board with a ribbon cable, as part of a button. Some sit slightly different than others, it is common on everything that has this type of multifunction setup.

id say its less a build quality issue and more a design issue, since the glass isnt glued to the screen. I have myself seen 3-4 atrix, all except one had either major dust or at least 1-2 specks.
and on top a software bug that scared the hell out of me, seeing dead and stuck pixels only in the CAMCORDER mode.
I should consider myself lucky then, no dust and my fingerprint/power button is straight. However, it is a refurbished phone (perhaps one that was returned by one of you!) so they might have taken a bit more care in reassembly. Who knows... Maybe it is best to buy second hand sometimes, or I'm just plain lucky

I've had my G3 for about a week now and I absolutely love the device. I'd like to have a discussion about build quality of the device since there's some things I've noticed with my 32gb D855 model that I'm wondering if others have had also.
1) The digitizer is quite noticeable, I guess my eyes have adjusted a bit now but it is there and quite noticeable when I pay attention
2) The back plate is screaming poor quality: it is very creaky near the top above the infrared and also around the volume down key you can really press the device and hear it creaking like a Samsung device
3) Unfortunately after caring for it with my life somehow the back cover got a huge scratch..I don't possibly know from what..a fleck of dust in the air or Something but still this shouldn't have gotten such an ugly huge scratch so easily!
4) Dust/sand or dirt is easily getting into the bezels right where the screen ends
5) As mentioned in another thread I've had the spontaneous shut down but let's not delve into that on this thread
Anyone else want to share their experiences?

I think the device feels wonderful when im using it. But I do agree that one drop and this thing is gonna be in trouble.
I managed to put a 2inch scratch on the back and I'm so carefull but managed to scratch it.

Just got mine yesterday but #2 is not an issue for me. The back is very solid and doesn't have any flex at all. I am going to put a slim case on mine though and I already have a tempered glass screen shield.
Well, mine seems pretty solid so far (got mine on Monday), the only thing from your list i noticed as well is the dust at the bezel, but it's not really in the bezel, it's just sticking at the edges, because the bezel is slightly higher than the screen, that's a bit annoying, but not really bad, because it can be easily swiped away. Except of that, I'm pretty pleased with the build quality so far, looks and feels premium, just the back doesn't feel that slick, because of the plastic, but it's still not bad at all.
Oh, and the back buttons are slightly too hard to push, but that's also not a big deal.
So, great device, I'm a happy owner^^

Do we have the same device?
1: I can barely see the digitizer unless i shine a bright light into the screen.
2: the back cover on mine fits perfectly, to the millimeter. The only creaking i hear is if i try to twist the device at either end which is acceptable as its a removable cover so should have some give.
3: that is unfortunate
4: Is this not normal of all phones. They all have a small gap between the glass and phone body. its hard to avoid, but not very big on the G3.
5: ive not had this issue fortunately.
Ive found the build quality to be very good. everything fits very nicely. and its a big step up in quality from the nexus 5 which already had a decent build quality.
Had mine for 6 days, comparing this to say an s4 or s5 is like comparing a Citroen 2CV against a Ferrari, the difference is immense in terms of both looks,build quality and feel. Loving it ?
Just got mine an hour ago. I'm coming from an S4. This phone feels cheap in comparison. I'm not sure if I'll get used to not having the true black that one gets with an AMOLED screen. But hey, it's only been an hour.:beer:

I've had mine for nearly 2 weeks and it's been great. Got a slim case and applied the screen protector it came with it. No complaints here!

It really is a big difference between AMOLED and IPS screens. There completely different technologies, keep in mind though the IPS screen is more closer to every other screen you look at every day so its not like you dont use them already.
Im not liking how the G3 is get bashed around recently, if your not happy with it then i suggest people go back to samsung. Ive had it over a week now and the phone grows on me more every day. Once roms and tweeks come out this phone will be even more amazing

Is not bashing if its true. If you like the device then good for you.
Anyways the phone I had came with scratches on the back. The back seems incredibly easy to scratch.
