Is it bad that I can FEEL the screen around the trackpad thingy when I use it? I feel like I'm gonna cut my thumb on the screen glass. :/

I can feel it a little, but not a crazy amount. It is in no way uncomfortable, and is neeeeeearly flush with the front of the phone for me
Mine is extreme opposite. I'm gonna try to get it fixed. NOT playing the refurb game. :/

My button has been recessed since I got it, no problems. It might Depend on which version you have, and what screen you actually have.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ya know, never noticed that it is recessed... but it sure is. Could probably cut myself if I pressed hard enough but have no need to do so.
It shouldn't be pushed in on either screen. Looking at my DINC (only a week old) its perfectly flush with the screen.

Had mine since day one and that perfectly describes how mine is: VERY minuscule recession. Like barely noticeable.

Yep I'm in the same boat. Very nice though and no complaints about mine. Only slightly recessed on the inner circle, otherwise just about flush around the edges.
My trackpad is flush with the screen but I did have a refurb that the trackpad stuck out a little bit. For some reason I kind of liked it out a little more.
I never use my trackpad...I honestly don't know why they put one on there...

I love the trackpad. Its so useful. When browsing websites its great for getting those hard to touch links.

Anybody else's Evo Shift loose when closed? The top can move about 1mm easily, just holding it normal or upside down causes it to happen. If i shake it holding the bottom half you can feel the top slightly moving back and forth? This normal? it seems like a small issue, but even after one day it's bugging the **** out of me.
Mine does this as well and it's rather annoying.

Mine does this thought it doesn't move enough to the point that it bothers me.
pretty typical on slider phones. Alot less than the TP or TP2 IMHO...
You can try putting a case on it. Makes everything snug and tight.
^ Shift Faced
The thing is though, this isn't a spring loaded slider, there's nothing that is pulling/pushing to give it the amount of play it has when closed. Even with spring loaded sliders, they might have a little play when closed, but they dont freely move the way the shift does. In contrast, the OG droid is the same type of slider and I've gone through god knows how many replacements of those, with no play at all. And HTC > Moto's quality as far as I can tell. Until now I guess =/ Love my shift, but still, I can definitely see a new phone in my future more recently than I thought I would.
Put a case on mine and its actually really tight now. To the point where it can be difficult to slide it open so I've been using the touchscreen more now. I refuse to take the case off though...it would be my luck that as soon as I do remove it my phone would bite the dust...

This happened to my Evo.
When I had to eat the $400 to get the Shift, while I still use it without a case, I MADE SURE to get insurance on it.

Mine has a little play in it. Not too much but just enough to make it annoying. This is my first slider so not sure how "normal" it is. I would be interested to see if anyone has any sort of fix. No insurance because I'm very careful with my phones but I'm pretty sure that "slightly loose when closed" isn't considered in the warranty lol.
Mine has a small amount of play when closed. I wasn't sure if it was normal so I returned it for another one (within my 30-day window) and the new one does it too.

Had both of those. 2 tp's and a tp2. The shift (at least mine [with all side and back stickers removed]) is pretty tight. All 4 phones naked.
there was a plastic protective cover on the inside of the keyboard, along the right and left edges. If you leave that on it doesn't seem to be loose. My Mom just got her Shift a week or so ago, and never took that plastic off, and it's solid while mine feels quite loose.
Mine's solid as a rock. Thing doesn't even budge unless I physically move it with my hand.
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.

There's a data ribbon on one side that holds it crooked like that. this has already been brought up and pretty much all of them are like that (as far as I know) so I wouldn't be concerned about it.

This is the first thing I noticed after taking it out of the box. Couldn't believe they wanted it to be like this.

Crooked here as well. The first atrix I had seemed to be straight though. Kind of annoying. Also one side of the screen is slightly lower than the other.

Same for me. I had to return my first atrix because of battery issues and it had a straight one but the one I have now is tilted. I don't really stare at it so no big deal to me. At least my battery is performing now.

To add to the build quality issues, I went through 3 units at the store an all had some degree of dust under the screen. I took the one with the least. I took a look at my cousin's unit the other day and it also had a couple of specs under the screen.

Define performing. Mine is still garbage compared to what it should be. That's the same reason I returned the first one.

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 have had four refurb atrixs and each one has had a straight fingerprint scanner. All of them at the stores I have seen are slanted. Seems the refurbs are a little nicer in that aspect

Same here ... a little slanted, but then again I hadn't really spent much time looking at the button before!

I'm not getting any squeaky, quirky or "cracking" sounds on mine, it's very sturdy and tight. Maybe you got a slightly defect one. If it bothers you then you should obviously return it.

+1 - nothing like this on my a500, had it for nearly two months. Trade it in.
Make sure all corners are snapped firmly in place. Like others have said, just return it and get a replacement if there isn't any obvious fixes to your issue.
no creaks, squeaks or otherwise here, as others have posted, if you still have time, exchange it!
Thanks guys, good enough, I gonna replace it even though there is no gap and looks tight but something is wrong cuz every time I press it cracks like something is not snap tight.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I probably did get that one which you have returned. ;-) The same noises in the upper left corner. Unfortunately that is a big pain in the ass to replace something in Poland. BTW it is 530 USD to buy it here. Anyway is the new one free of that cracking sound??
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I have only seen 3-4 people complain about this so it seems to me that it's a very rare build defect, probably just a bad batch of plastic somewhere? Of course, what I have or haven't seen is just anecdotal evidence, but I'd feel returning it and getting another one should have quite good chances of actually getting one of the good samples

OK, I realise this may be nit-picking but I wanted to check if this is normal.
My screen doesnt look symetrical in the sense that one side has a black border between the screen and the black bezel (the right hand side) but the left hand side is flush against the black border/bezel.
I have attached the pics and would really appreciate someone to have a look at their N10 as a comparison :good:
Thanks in advance.
On another note Im loving the N10 to the max!
Mine is symmetrical. Never thought about checking that.

Had a feeling about that ! My Gnex is symentrical and to be honest in the most weirdest way when I use the N10 it doesnt feel right like this..... !! ....I was also feeling like I was picking holes in it....but I am loving the N10.....
I really noticed it because it wasnt symetrical I guess....and I just noticed it.
Gona RMA this badboy...real sad to say it though !
Thanks for checking...much appreciated!

Ye that scenario would be fine......on my one my eyes are drawn to it depending on the app or what I am doing.
But ye, as someone said earlier it does look misaligned thats all but I think my eye prefers things that are symmetrical.
RMA time
Mine has it, but not nearly as noticeable as yours. I have yet to be plagued with any other issue though, and since mine is not very noticeable, I'm just gonna keep it.

I agree. From day one the button has been loose. It doesn't feel good at all. Probably my only complaint on the entire phone...
Mine has slight play in the y axis but its as sturdy as it can be for something that depresses. I have zero play in the x direction.
I dont mind the feel of it at all.

You are right. No OCD. lol Mine is loose & does move. It looks like it's a hit or miss thing. Some don't have issues & others like us DO have issues. It is what it is. :silly:
My home button has some play in both axes, and if the sides are pushed in opposite directions it will remain slanted. But my OCD isn't bad enough for it to be a problem.

I belive that if your screen protector is not straight then it looks crooked.
Mine definitely has some play in the y-axis. Not a deal-breaker, even though my mild OCD doesn't care for it lol. Its not worth the hassle to return it and try another device.
There was some play on the black one I bought on launch day. I have a white one now and I do notice it sometimes. But on the black it was REALLY noticeable. I couldn't stand it.
