Samsung won't fix it without charging you for a whole screen which they charge £180 here in the uk.. So i'm afraid you're going to have to deal with it. Or buy the digitizer which comes with the whole front housing.. And i would never recomend using toothpaste and all the other crap to get scratches off it really doesn't work, It also makes your screen very worse...

Its a question in the wrong forum
Its a question posted multiple times = use search .
probable answer ignore
use a screen protector
see DIY changing glass video
paid for replacement

You can try to flash with the newest firmware. Not sure though...depends how bad the scratch is

Sorry, none here either.

The components underneath the cover aren't flat. So if you rub your hands while applying pressure over the back cover you can feel some bumps underneath. It's normal.

I have the same issue that I posted here with photos...

If i were to guess I'd say @monmonito you have a black Note 2014. I have a white note and at certain angles in certain lighting I can see the cirlces your taling about. I guess theyre more noticable on the black version.

I was checking my phone today and saw something white like on the left side of the speaker grill.
Can u guys check ur phone and see if this actually happened around ur speaker grill?

Not yet.... What happened is it scrapped off to the metel?

Are you sure it is not just a light reflection?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Nothing on mine, could be dirt ?

Nothing alike here, maybe the grill just isn't perfectly fitted and you got a small piece of dirt/paper/whatever there.

I hope its not a crack or anything.
Nothing happened actually but i was fiddling around my phone today when i saw this.
Going to the 60 minute service center later.

Nope not a reflection

If this does happen i would say the qc is rather bad

Mine doesn't. But it's the glass not cut nicely. I see it kinda like that on various parts around where the glass meets the frame.

Did you soaked it on water?

I believe I have the same thing around my speaker grill. I think it is dirt because if I remember correctly, it didn't have it before. Was going to take compressed air to it, but forget about it every time

It's just dust. You will notice that this will also happen with your home bottom. No worries

It's dust from the pocket lint. A microfiber cloth will get rid of it I get the same issue if I use a flip case with a earpiece cutout

I have an issue with the glass around the speaker grill. It appears to be with a slightly darker black colour. Looks more like a smudge but cannot be cleaned. Do you know what that might be from or should I be concerned about it?

Yes. I see multiple black holes. Not sure if this is normal

Control Hardware Keys Timeout?

I tried to search here as well as the settings app but came up short. I wonder if we have that option with our phones? I just want to turn off the hardware backlight for the recents and back completely. I just want the cleaner look.

This works perfect. Thanks. S7 Edge always off!

Has anyone have this issue of the back and recent capacitive touch lights not lighting with certain cases?
I have a specific "creit card case" with a flap on the back that closes pretty securely by connecting to a small magnet in the case and I LOVE the case because the "flap" also acts like a tri-fold kickstand similar to some tablet cases in how they fold to pro the device up and it's a really grippy and padded case BUT....when the S7 Edge (in my case) is in the case the lights on the buttons don't light up. The minute I even start pulling the phone out of the case at about 2 inches out near the bottom the ligts come on...nothing in the front of the case is covered by the case itself so I can only assume that it's the magnet in the flap on the back which IS in the lower section of the case.
Thoughts? Would/could this cause permanent damage? What other issues if any have you had with your S7 S7 Edge case?
Thanks all
GO!
Faslane
I've tried this app which works when S7 Edge isn't in case and I also use magnets on backs of other cases for my magnetic car mount but the ones in this case are right at the bottom behind where the capacitive lights would be (just on the back of course) and they don't work. the minute I pull the Edge out of the case from either the bottom or the top, the lights come on at aboit 1.5" out of the case (I don't even have to remove it all the way) so I'm more concerned if this will damage anything or if it'll just make the lights not work and all is ok otherwise...because I really like the case. the brand is called a Vena and it's an off market case but one of the better ones for card etc too so I'm curious....what's everyone think?

Screen bond

Hi everyone
Had my Nexus 6p since launch and just noticed today that in two places, the bond between the frame and the glass screen has come away. Anybody else had this issue? My phone is always in a case and has never been dropped to my knowledge. There is no other damage, it appears to look like it has just fallen off. Weird. Any suggestions apart from rma to fix it? Maybe so kind of filler?
Thanks for any help [emoji2]

I don't have another device to hand at the moment but there is a very thin strip of plastic all the way around the screen. It's between the screen and the body

What case do you use just out of interest? Is it quite tight and do you put it on and off quite often?
I have seen people post similar issues in the forum so you are not on your own with this.
Reason I ask about the case is I had a UAG case on my Galaxy Note 3 and it was that tight, it caused hairline cracks on the phone frame at every thin point (volume + power button, headphone jack etc) just through taking it on and off.

I have a spigen case on. Comes off now and then. Could be a problem I guess?

Not necessarily, just perhaps something to consider. I have a Spigen rugged Armour case and I have that off every other day I bet to just give the phone a wipe and make sure there is no build up of crap in the case.
I'm not sure the plastic bit we are talking about even sits proud enough on my phone to actually split/break and come off?

Did you buy the phone direct from Google? If so I'd pursue trying to get an RMA.
It is obvious this hasn't been caused through damage or foul play as the metal frame on the phone is unmarked from what I can see on the photos.
