QC issue? Top Speaker grill is messed up. - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I received my MXP yesterday... In all the joy of playing with the software and updating it, I didn't notice this until this morning? The top speaker grill is sticking up on the right side? It's not loose, but still sticking up. Anyone else have this issues or other QC issues?
I felt funny requesting a replacement for something this minor, but Amazon is sending me one .....But it's gonna take 2 weeks to get it I just don't think my OCD can handle this, so glad it's getting replaced.
Sorry for the blurry pic, I only have a cheap pre-paid phone to take the pic with.

Ooh, yeah I couldn't deal with that either. Seem so Ike's or might be the first to post something like this, so hopefully it's not very common. Glad you're getting a replacement though!

On the Nexus 6 and the 2nd gen Moto X, those grills were removable since they were one of the parts that could be customized in Moto Maker. It may have just popped loose. You should be able to snap it back in. Might take a bit of force, but it should go back in.

Both mine are sticking out they don't seem evenly meaning top vs bottom, I wouldn't worry to much they will prob get pushed in just from being in ur pocket or what ever as long sound still works its all good

Well crap!
I tried snapping it back in (didn't push hard at all) and I heard it snap, took my finger off it and the part fell on the floor. I sat it back in there, but it's really loose now and probably will fall out if I bump it or hit it on my pocket when pulling it out.
The replacement can't get here soon enough

Is that piece plastic or metal?

Also good to hear that Moto seems to be OK with replacing stuff like this. Hope mine comes in looking straight, I can't stand build quality issues like that.

In the mean time, I put a REALLY SMALL drop of super glue on it to hold it in so I don't lose it/doesn't fall out....It's still lop-sided though. Hope this doesn't mess up my return when they get it back!?!?!

Just got my 3rd replacement Nexus. 2 of the screws are missing! What would you do?

I just unboxed my 4th Nexus 7. Had half a hair's width of screen lift, but no other problems. I figured I would just keep this one. I took off the back cover to see if I could maybe tighten screws or whatever, and to my surprise 2 of the bloody screws are missing! The one second from the top on the left hand side, and second from the bottom.
Now obviously my first thought is that someone has had this unit before me and returned it.... Would you agree with this assumption?
Do I send this back as faulty? I don't want it falling apart due to missing screws. What would you do?
This whole faulty Nexus debacle has almost become entertaining.
Do nothing at all (as long as it works fine of course). The 2 (someone reported 3) missing screws were likely done on ASUS's end to help reduce stress on the screen itself, and/or to fix the screen lift issue.

Is it a C8? C8's (and even C7's) are reportedly coming new out of the box missing two screws, I've had one myself that I took back and exchanged. Still being discussed if its QC error or them attempting to solve screen lift (one I had was lifting even with them missing.)
Cheers guys, I missed those threads. It is indeed a C8 which I am surprised at because I'm in New Zealand and I figured we would still only have 6s or 7s here.
Looks like I'm keeping this one after all. :good:

One of the screws was rattling around in my new 32 GB Nexus 7!
When I opened it up to remove the screw I noticed two screw holes unoccupied.
I decided not to hassle with a return/lengthy RMA process given that my device seems to be working fine and has no discernible screen-lift.
Thankfully, the screw didn't short something out.
This unit is a C9OK model.
The lack of screws has been that way for months now. Its done like that from the factory. I got one back in Aug (C8O) and it was missing two screws. Havent bothered to pop off the back of my new 32gb model because I really dont care at this point lol.
Reportedly this is an attempt at fixing the screen lift by ASUS. If the screen doesn't lift then the problem is solved by removing the two screws.
I don't understand why you think an intentional change by Asus makes your device defective.
Did they promise you 4 screws?

Note 2 keychain hole

Idk if this has already been pointed out or not... On the back of the Note 2, the part of the back cover that covers the speaker is brought outward. I'm assuming this was so you could add keychain accessories. I just put a keychain on mine and it doesn't harm the speaker at all. Anyway, just thought it might be an interesting find. Hopefully somebody can get something out of this post! Cheers!

I just got this phone yesterday... I was really hoping that it was a spot for keychains because I have one that my girlfriend gave me. Yeah, I'm serious. I guess it was just wishful thinking.
I do use it for a wrist strap and have shaken it quite a lot just holding the strap and I do not believe the back will come off due to the weight of the phone as the back stays on very well.
i dont prefer you deal with that hole..... as thats not designed to hold something,
it might pull out the whole back cover and if so, yr battery will drop too
haha
i think it's okay, if its not heavy . and always becareful when taking out your phone from pocket..
If you get the protection+ (search google) cover from Samsung it has on the upper left corner the holes for the accessories you want to attach.

Note 2 - wrist tether strap
I've been thinking about registering for a couple of months on here just so I could let people know about this very idea. Odd that it turned out to be on the front page on the same day.
As far as those of you are concerned about this ruining the speaker sound quality or breaking the cover or pulling the back off of the phone, so far it hasn't been an issue for me. I have been using it ever since I purchased one of the TrustFire XML C8-T6 5-Mode CREE LED 1000 Lumen Flashlights (or maybe it was the Ultrafire Wf-502b, I can't remember).
The good thing about having the phone tethered to the wrist like this is that I don't have to worry about putting a case on it to keep it safe. Pretty much the only time I have dropped any of my phones has been while actively using it, especially on this phone due to the necessity of stretching my fingers across the screen to hit the upper left hand corner. Now that I have this, it doesn't matter how awkwardly I balance it, I don't have to worry about dropping it. Now I slip the phone in top first into my pocket and then I pull my hand out of the tether as it enters my pocket and then I leave some of the loop hanging out of my pocket so when I try to get at it later, i can slip my fingers through as I pull it out and slide it onto my wrist. Now, whenever it leaves my pocket, it is securely attached to my hand. This makes it faster and easier to get to it in my pocket when I have several other things in there as well. I also have my mother using it and it makes it easy to put the phone in here purse and leave the tail of the band hanging out so that she isn't rummaging through the thousands of things in her clown car of a purse.
I thought about getting one of those fly grips or whatever they are called that you place your middle and ring finder through and secures the phone to your hand. While that is almost assuredly a more efficient and ergonomic grip, I prefer to have my phone without out any extra added weight/thickness unless it makes it vastly superior for certain uses (such as a 6200 mAh battery that would last for international flights etc). Otherwise, I just have a Spigen screen protector and the wrist strap. I don't really care much about scratching the back since the replacements will soon be cheap enough not to matter to most people.
edit: although one can obviously jerk it away hard enough to pull the cover off, I've never had it happen and only while swinging it around and jerking it back to my abruptly to test to see how well it would hold, it only pulled two of the tabs loose and it was still securely attached. As far as breaking the grille itself somehow, as long as you aren't putting a metal ring through it, it should be plenty strong enough for the most demanding everyday usage. I've seen youtube videos bend some previous samsung cases in half without snapping, so I am assuming it would be sufficient for most people. your mileage may vary, especially if your back cover doesn't seem to fit as tightly as other peoples.

Is anyone else's turbo black nylon making a cracking noise on the back?

I just received my 64 GB Black Nylon from vzw.com and after taking it out of the packaging, the back had been making a cracking noise when I press down, especially on the bottom by the droid logo. I'm assuming it's because there's a space between the nylon and the internals? Possibly wasn't glued correctly? Will it go away? I don't know if this warrants getting a replacement though, but I don't want something to happen in the future and then get stuck with a CLN Device

Mine isn't making any noise. Can you see the back giving in when you press down on it? I'd report it to be on the safe side.
Mine is rock solid. You should get it swapped

You have to press on the "DR" the "OID" will not make the sound
I have the red one and mine does it when I clean off the back. Just sounds like when you press on somthing glued or taped down. I think there is probably just a layer of glue in there that is sticking and unsticking. I dont think its somthing to be concerned over. It doesnt visibly move and I dont think it would ever fully unstick. It might even go away after the phone heats and cools a few times.
Part of the wireless charging coil is adhered to the back of the case. I suspect that you are hearing some adhesive making weak contact and then snapping away after you release pressure. Like a touching a piece of packing tape on a smooth surface and then pulling it off.
Mine is making the sound on the droid logo at the bottom. I'm just gunna go into the store and have them replace it. A customer should be 100% satisfied. It absolutely warrants an exchange if you are still in the 14 day return period. I'll go into Verizon tomorrow and let you guys know if they exchange my device.

mine does it too. i may have started the whole online chatter about this because i was posting about it immediately after i bought mine last week thursday. i took this video and shared it with a motorola rep and they seem to think its a defect, but the guy at the verizon store (who was a total ****) said it was normal.
I have the same noise as well, right when you press on the "DR" like others stated. I also have a similar noise that happens when I pick up the phone; It seems to be focused towards the bottom sides of the phone. This particular issue didn't happen the first few days I had the phone (got it on release day) but I do notice it now. Just a very slight "creak" noise.
I am wondering how the nylon is applied to the back of the phone and how far it tucks in under the soft touch border. Maybe that is just how the nylon is and it may make noise where it meets other materials since it is not completely flat and there is some texture to it.

I agree, but I would be careful. There have been a few horror stories with people trying to exchange devices. You might end up with a much worse problem and Verizon giving you crap for wanting to exchange again.
Here is one case of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/4-days-3-droid-turbos-journey-verizon-t2929086
It sounds like the ballistic nylon models have a slightly different problem than what I'm hearing with mine, specifically around the droid logo at the bottom. But I know on mine its just a very minor thing that only happens if your pushing around. If its not affecting the operation of the phone or falling apart it might not be worth the hassle.

This many be the last straw for me.

I noticed this after i used it for a few days, it happens RIGHT where it gets hot on the back, it sticks to something inside and then comes off, hence the click/sticky sound. This is ridiculous. Anyone else have this issue?

On the phone with HTC, they tried to turn it into something I DAMAGED on the device, i wasn't having that. They shuffled me off to the tech support and there i demanded to speak to a supervisor. Finally I got an RMA and shipping instructions. Shipping this guy back tomorrow, so so so mad and disappointed at this device.

same here at the same spot. I think I will RMA tomorrow
Not happening here, thank goodness. I have the very same model, granted just had it for 1 day (and not planning on "keep exploring" until I might actually reproduce the issue). :fingers-crossed:
Same issue new 32 gb white just got it hours ago. Also it is taking 10 hours to charge... really?
Now I finally understand what everyone means by a clicking sound... I'm on a black 32,nothing at all like that. Bummer bro
That definitely sounds like a defect. Thank God mine doesn't make that sound.
I bet after it gets really hot it might be melting something structural in the back. I don't have the issue, but maybe I haven't warmed it up enough.
Sent from the future...
The mine doesn't make that sound
I noticed that mine made the same noise, but it sounds like some adhesive is trying to stick, but is not strong enough. That would also explain why the sound comes when letting go instead of when pressing the device. So I pressed the back firmly. Now the sound is gone and I think the flex has become smaller too (could be placebo)
Message has been Baconized
I agree with Gormsen. Sounds like double sided tape that is just not sticking. The back seem super thin and that probably all that keeps it flat in the middle. I do have the flex but no noise yet...
It must be some adhesive melting when it gets hot, which causes it to unstick.. pretty pathetic.

Or, it could be that it's thoroughly pressed upon manufacturing. Pathetic? Nah, all products have some production errors.
The good thing is that we should be able to fix this, if we pull of the back cover, apply some stronger double sided tape and the put the back cover back.
We can do some hardware modifications, am I the only one who's excited about it?
Also with the extra space (due to the flexing) we will be able to fit a bigger battery, if one is made

Not placebo. Mine was very bad to begin with. Several places on the back could be pressed in with a light finger and under the camera I had that sticky click. I did as you and literally pressed the tablet together firmly at all places. During this process there were several clicks as if the whole thing settled properly. Result. Zero flex and it now feels totally solid all around the back. I'm totally happy with it now since I have no noticeable lightbleed and everything works as expected. Good times! ?

I noticed the sound when i unboxed it. Have tried to do so. But seems like my stick is not strong enough, and the sound remains. If this is really a stick issue. Then maybe try to heat it up and push the back hard to stick properly may solve the problem. Anyway I have initiated RMA so really dont want to fix it lol. fingercrossed to get a good device.
This isn't really anything new as my Nexus 7 was the same back in 2012. I gave it a good squeeze and its still creak free to this day. I did the same with my Nexus 9 and can confirm that I don't have any creaking, although mine didn't have that much creaking to begin with anyway.

Yes the exact same thing happens here, I've not played any games or had the device become hot, just expect it was like it from the start. This is typical HTC build quality, reminds me very much of the HTC One X and it's plastic back, just all done a bit cheaply.
In the iFixIt pictures there doesn't appear to be any sticky pads in the location this is happening, so it is probably just sticking unintentionally to the smooth plastic of the stick on NFC antenna in that location. As the whole back cover seems to default to be floating away from the internal chassis by a couple of millimetres, again typical HTC lack of attention to detail, then the back is going to do this, become depressed and sometimes stick to pop out again making a noise.
I'll personally live with it, it is a bit annoying, and I'd expected better at this price point, but it doesn't affect the functionality.
Regards
Phil
Firm press between both hands is the fix. You will hear and feel it lock. There are back clips that are not seated. Mine is solid and click/creak free now.

Red 64 gig turbo!

my red battery cover showed up today. I love the ballistic nylon, but the fraying was sending my OCD into overdrive lol case anybody was wondering, as most would figure that fits the 64 gig version perfectly. With the black power and volume keys it actually looks better than the factory version I think. I'll post some pics later when I have a second camera available.
Nice! Did the adhesive make it difficult to remove the original back?
Where did you buy it?
I trust you're going to share a pic or two with us... Congrats!
Yes I would like to see some pictures. Was it hard to get the back off? Does it adhere to the back alright? Did it come with led's for the flash?
I don't get threads like this. Why even start the thread if you have no pictures or information to share?! It's like when someone says they got something great to tell you and then says, "hey, I'll call you back". #epicthreadfail.

Lol ya. I got over excited. I'll post some tonight with my Wifes phone .
So about the adhesive. No its not to hard. The top corner clips are the hardest part. Its hard to get them to pop loss and I was worried about damaging the frame.
I ordered it from eBay. Google droid turbo battery cover, it should pop up in shopping. Mine was 25 but I saw one for 19 yesterday.
The fit is really tight and clean. I have to admit, I never looked at the mgf models because I wanted 64 gigs. But wow it feels great in the hand. I am so pleased with it! My only concern is how it holds up. The bn is pretty much scratch proof. The mfg model is basically Kevlar with a soft touch clear coat. But that's OK, I ordered another one as a backup. I also ordered a second bn back to experiment with. I want to try and remove the bn and try leather! But that's a another project.

I might be interested in this but I'd have to see your pics. I kinda like the black ballistic nylon, but your description sounds cool.
Speaking of battery covers, I never knew there's a blue nylon one.

There's a lot of them for around $22USD on aliexpress.

If you talking about that black rubber pad in the teardown video. That's just a guard to protect the charging coil from the battery cover. In the tear down video the guy made it seem like you have to be very careful with that. It's just a piece of rubber. And I actually detact the side of it facing the back plate. So that it only stuck to the phone. I used lint lol
That's actually a good point. So, if you end up doing this. When you take the back plate off, That black piece of rubber that's protecting the coil. You're going to want to make sure that not sticky on the part facing the battery cover. Once you remove the back plate the adhesive strength of it is going to be weaker. So if you don't make it not sticky, when you put the phone back together everytime you touch that spot it could make a noise and be quite irritating. Plus I'm not sure if the curvature between the two battery covers is the exact same.

Not possible. There is no international red version, so therefore there is no red version without the Verizon logo. I don't know how hard it would be to remove. I think its laser etched. I was actually giving that a thought.. How I can remove it lol

Your BN was fraying? That's not giving me the warm fuzzies. Maybe I should get the red back instead of the blue BN. Something so I can tell my phone from my wife's.

I don't get threads like this. Why even start the thread if you have no pictures or information to share?! It's like when someone says they got something great to tell you and then says, "hey, I'll call you back". #epicthreadfail.

I don't get posts like this. It's the OEM red Kevlar back. It should look exactly like the red turbo you'd get at Verizon. Pics were nice but not needed.

Yeah. In one spot it was fraying. Not super bad. My wife always told me I was seeing things lol so it was that minimal. I'm just really ocd on phones.

I'd love to go to the red cover so I can use one of the magnetic car mounts. Are there instructions on taking the back off?
Edit: I picked up the red one for $19 on eBay. after I saw the teardown video. Seems stupidly easy to replace. Can't wait to get this so I can install a ProClip car mount for the Turbo. I love the BN back, but the fact very little works with it makes it useless IMO.
