Got my S4 on launch day and just noticed that there seems to be a sticker on the rear camera lens. It's starting to catch lint and dust. Is this a sticker we can remove or is it permanent? Thanks.
I noticed this sticker on the edge as well, I just kinda left it there, could be meant to take off though idk
I took mine off. Was easier with the back off.
No wonder my pictures has been fuzzy....I might need to take that off then

There is a hole for the lens but if it shifted or holding dist/fuzz that could be a problem.

I have a mid night blue coloured note and just the other day I realised that the back of the phone sparkles under sun. Its not a lot but its still annoying. It makes note look less of a premium device.

Order a white back cover and use it instead, it doesn't sparkle...
Or get a flip cover, also doesn't sparkle.

I like it sparkles. It's not so important
Be grateful that Samsung are not charging a higher price for a sparkling back or a white phone like Apple.

If its total destruction your after then take off the back cover then clamp on the ground to an arc welder and then touch the rod in the earphone jack. Its really quite nice......maximum over clock lol.
But I'd probably watch a drownding to.

WTF?? Why would you even think about do that to the phone?

I never understood the whole making your device blend or destroying it unless it's an Office Space situation. As in it's caused you so much grief that you actually feel a sense of closure from beating the crap out of it.
Unless you totally destroyed everything on the phone, i bet some genius person could revive it.
Uploading video now. Microwave next?

Back cases are common online (Amazon, eBay) although they're not polycarbonate (metallic) or genuine from what o have seen.

I was just cleaning off my screen and I noticed theres some dust under the screen in the front camera hole. There's dust, and some stuff that looks like ice crystals or salt. It's been in my pocket all day and I think it's really weird. I'm not going to RMA or anything, because I will probably never use the front facing camera anyway. I always use the back
I too have dust in my front facing camera. Not a big deal but really LG? The build quality may look good on this phone but it's actually pretty bad. This is my fourth phone. I'm not rma-ing again.
You can easily take out the back cover and remove it.
You just need a #5(?) torque screw and a prying tool to open the back cover.

I don't understand why OEM's cant manufacture a phone with a proper dust seal gasket. It drives me absolutely nuts when there is dust under my screen. My old HTC Desire HD had dust under the screen within a week of purchase, and i took it back to telus. Unacceptable.

I shouldn't have to do this. I would rather rma it than possibly damage the phone and void the warranty.

It's not the rma that is a pain, it's setting my phone up again that is.
So today I flipped open my case and my digitizer was cracked on my less than 2 week old N7. Won't let me unlock or anything. I have not dropped or otherwise damaged it. Has this happend to anyone else? Manufacturing defect? I also noticed last night that on black screens there were some red splotches. I'm just afraid if I try to get it replaced they will say physical damage have a nice day.

I believe it and no have not heard of this happening. If it was a drop, there would be a clear dent or shatter marking on that line before it splits into two. Just talk to google or where-ever you bought it from and try to keep calm. When glass breaks, it shatters and not produce hairline breaks like that.
get it replaced for free.

yup either that or a crack form pressure like sitting on it or having it in the back pocket and forgetting about it.
that's not a defect. it just doesn't crack on its own.
I couldn't find my tablet. Looked high an low. Sat down on the sofa and found it. My screen is worse than your picture but is the same result. No way to unlock the screen or anything. She is busted.

The tablet had slipped down the back of the sofa between the seat cushion and the back of the sofa. I sat down and it must have squished it. The cushions are super soft and I'm still not 100% sure it happened.

I bought a 32gb the same day and had it sent overnight. I learned an expensive lesson to be more careful. Flo isn't as tough as my SGSIII. These screens seem soft.

ahaha, nice!!
is Asus charging you to repair that device?
The nexus 7 has a very weak glass.
Mine got hairline crack from twisting.
Most drop test videos show it breaks on the first drop.
I have replaced first unit, waiting until local repair guy can get parts from his usual source to get first one fixed. May try contacting google/Asus about a repair but have not done that yet.

If you bought it with a credit card you may have coverage. Many of the premium cards come with 90 day replacement insurance.
