Screen bond - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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]

Any pictures? I can't really understand what you mean.

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?

Is your case a rigid snap on type by any chance?

It's just a clear gel case

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.

Exactly, thanks for the reply

[Q] Blobs on screen that only show when screen is dark?

Hi All,
I think I may have to return my Nexus under warranty, I am delighted with it as a tablet but have noticed I am getting blobs appear whenever the background is dark and especially on black backgrounds, I have taken a photo of them with the tablet turned off.

It's probably the oleophobic coating coming off.
I will post a photo to show you what I mean as soon as I am permitted to.
I am surprised many people ever get past 10 posts on this forum having to type the image verification code every time and having to wait 5 minutes between posts and not allowed to post images or links!

			
				
Anyone got any ideas now photo is up?

Maybe from your case? My case gets little dust marks on my screen.
No, not dust, I have circled the 4 blobs in orange.

Like I said before, it looks like the oleophobic coating coming off. It's really strange that it would be coming off on a pattern like that... Is there a part of the case that has those 4 dots that could be rubbing on it?
I have something similar with my screen. It looks like a smudge fingerprint on the left side of the screen. I can wipe it off but it always comes back. I've tried soap, lens paper, water but it keeps reappearing after a few hours.

Checked and definitely no pattern like that on the case + when its closed it doesn't touch the screen anyway.

Just thought I would update on this, the problem didn't really get any worse but also didn't resolve so I have recently sent it back to Asus as it was nearing end of warranty period and they have put a brand new screen on now so a good outcome.

Why not get a Diztronic or Cruzerlite cheaper with better looks ?
It's just like any other TPU Case... now if it was a D3O case, I would quickly shell out $25.
T-Mobile, better late than never!
The buttons suck on it. I tried it in the store like a week ago.
Mines good its just plain black no logos, buttons work fine here
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
im a little late here but i bought this case a while ago and i really liked it, i liked the feel and design better than the diztronic, where the screen part is its not as raised and wide like the diztronic is.
With that being said im using the diztronic casue of the prize difference and also cause the buttons weren't that easy to press on the tmobile case, was not horrible but not great.
I have this case have been using for 5 wks now, pretty good design although the buttons are sometimes hard to press, that's why I use slide to unlock. I dropped my nexus face down on solid concrete from about 4ft high with this case on, not a single scratch(;

Unless you put it in a case. But I'd say if you have that big of a problem with it, take it to the store and exchange it.

Worried because I thought I may have bought one that was returned or the factory workers played football with it
If it's the norm, I don't care

Zagg hd dry film screen protector

I got one today anyone know if its tough or if its any good brought from the ee shop
Have one, feels good so far, pretty easy to apply and holding well so far, so thumbs up.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Pics of it installed please..? I purchased a zag hd after a fail with Verizon branded ones. I accidentally got a wet install which is nice but I can't use cases that go over the screen with it. Looking to get a dry install soon.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
so what's the diff between wet and dry install styles? aren't they the same thing just differently installed?
Ive got this screen protector on my phone and im very happy with it... really good coverage edge to edge and it plays well eith the cases i have. When i installed it, initiallg had a lot of bubbles that i couldn't push out.. but these disappeared on their own.. and now it looks perfect.

Not sure entirely but I thought the dry was a film and the wet is like a stretchy material.

Hi everyone I won't to purchase this Zagg hd dry, is it a good choice? Some of the s7 edge owners are using it a long time, would you share your experience with me. I'm specially interested, how it manage drops.

It won't do a lot against drops, maybe a tiny bit. It's designed to stop scratches. Only tempered glass protectors can "help" against drops on screen. And they are **** in our phones.

Exactly, I try two different manufactures of tempered glass, it was unusable. I thought, because of the soft material, the Zagg, could absorb some of the impact. I just thought some of the members who are using this protection had some experiences with drops.

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!

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?
