Does anyone have the bezel and screen separating near the home button if you push down on it? I had to exchange for a new one at Best Buy because it got progressively worse. The new replacement has the same issue but it is not as bad as the first one I got. Since 2 units I've gotten both had poor glueing/adhesive in that area (other areas are well secured), I'm wondering if others have the same issue too. Over time I believe this will worsen and we will gets lots of dust in that separated gap. Attached is a picture with the affected area circled. You have to push the bezel downwards towards the charging port to see the gap, but don't do it too periodically or you will worsen the gap.

I have the Bronze LTE version, imported from Hong Kong, pressed down on that area firmly, didn't notice any gap opening.

No problem with the 10.5 (so far).

No such issue on my 8.4 bronze TAB S.

I wonder if the separation could be related to the overheating reports concerning the 8.4?

It's a possibility, I used my tablet for really long duration but it didn't get too hot to consider it overheating. I returned mines though, too many negatives for me. I'd rather wait for a Note Tab S with AMOLED and a better processor than exonys...

I have the same, and a very irritating squeaking or clicking sound from the bezel moving when I touch it in a certain way. If it gets worse I'll have to exchange it.

Hello,

I notice this problem on my t705 now, i don't know when it started and if it is getting worse but its now about the size of the home button.

Did your's get fixed or exchanged? If fixed it happen again?

Thanks for your help

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

I have a similar issue with my 10.5. In the lower left corner when held at landscape. it is very mild and you can "feel" the squeek more than hear it and there is certainly no visible gap but fact remains its an issue.

The corner isn't near charging port or cpu placement so heat has nothing to do with it.

I'm pretty sure it depends on how well it was glued in place and where/how you hold your tablet up and where the strain occurs (i frequently used that corner solely for support in my left hand).

Is there any point on send it to warranty?
Probably will be the same and with more gaps from openning it up.

Found this thread in Google search. My 8.4 tab s suddenly had a seperrated bezel this afternoon. It even snapped a small piece off the white back cover. Luckily the bezel snapped back into place. Going to keep my eye on it. Think Samsung will do a repair if need be?
