Well take it for what it is but at least you are not alone. There are two of us with this issue. As for whether it is normal or not, well I am not sure and that is why I posted here. I am with you on the warranty. I will not take a refurb phone. I will check a couple in the ATT store tomorrow and report back my findings. My 14 days is up thursday so I need to decide quick if this is a real issue. Thank you for replying!!

Same issue on both mine and my collegues device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Please post a picture so we can see.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
I will try and post pictures tonight. If anyone else could post picture of theirs we could compare and see if maybe this is just the design of the phone. Again, thank you all for replying!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Pics please, and no its not normal. If dust can get into the phone then so can water and so its not water resistent anymore. I would exchange if it we`re me ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theewindbags3:
Exchange it!!

I would definitely exchange it. That gap would compromise the IP67 that the GS5 has. And what I hear alot is Samsung CS sucks!! So you don't wanna have to deal with them should something happen.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
Do you guys actually own a GS5? Could you check yours and see. It is not big, just enough to fit a piece of paper into. And is that confirmed that it would compromise the ip67 certification? I mean do you really know that for sure?

Not trying to be rude but just inquiring.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theewindbags3:
Yes I do own a GS5. And there is no gap. It's tight all around the bezel. And sorry, I meant to say it COULD, not would. Can't trust autocorrect these days :P Lol
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
No problem! Just checking. Alright well it looks like I am going to try and do an exchange. Now my only worry is what will happen if the replacement has the same issue?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theewindbags3:
Then get a really good cover for it! Lol. But hopefully that won't be the case. Fingers are crossed for you! There's nothing more annoying than getting a faulty looking unit right out of the box :/ [MENTION=4590369]Primenay13[/MENTION]

Went to the AT&T store. They had two there a black and a white one. They both look exactly like mine. So I will post the pictures of mine and tell me what you guys think.

Here are the links for the pictures. They are on my box account:

Compare this to your device and let me know if it looks similar. In the meantime, I have requested a replacement from amazon since my 14 day return is almost up.

Also, the second picture shows the issue the best.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
Has anyone taken a look and compared yet?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
It's normal.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
Your phone is extremely linty, so its hard to tell much. Also, you should circle what you're referring to. From the pictures I don't see anything unusual.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
That is the point. For me, the only part that gather lint is in this gap between the screen and top bezel. I have another picture here that will show you the nature of the gap. I used a piece of paper for scale. The piece of paper can fit right in between this gap, even folded.

Picture 1 https://iu.box.com/s/mb4tas4limxxwyrrbecr

Here is a picture circling what I was talking about https://iu.box.com/s/1997kzvtsfaxavp08w8a

Notice how on the right side where I circled, the screen glass is flush with the bezel. There is dust on top of the screen but not inside this gap. However, on the top where I circled, there is a noticeable gap where there is dust INSIDE.

Also some additional information, The replacement phone I got has the same thing!!!! UHHHHH..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutttr:
I don't have a gap on mine at all. HTH.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
I have a hard time believing that you guys don't have it considering I have seen 3 phones, all brand new, and they all look like this. When you say you don't have it, are you saying that your phone DOES NOT look like mine in the pictures I posted, or just saying nope without looking.?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theewindbags3:
My phone does not look like yours at all! I looked...

Update

I just thought I would provide an update on my situation. The replacement device that I received DID have the gap as well, but it is not near as bad as my old device. I am going to keep this one. Thank you all for the help and advice!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] van414:
It's normal, its just the same with the new Note 4 #gapgate #NotAnIssue. I had it also with my old GS3. Samsung explains that it's not a manufacturing defect and they also said that somewhere in all the pamphlet/manuals that came with the device.

Here is mine, took it diving with me in a pool last Friday and had no issue with its water resistance.

hey i have a gap near my volume button and the screen is starting to pop up at the top near the earpiece, is this a big problem? and is it still waterproof is u can slide a paper in the gap?? please help as my warranty finishes in a month
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
The Note 4 has the same gap around the screen and the bezel, this is suppose to help the phone withstand pressure when weight is applied to the screen. So for example if the phone is in your back pocket and you sit down on the phone, the gap will help the phone/display remain in shape.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
Could you post a picture? I will take a look at mine and let you know. I do have a small one at the bottom though so I think its normal.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primenay:
No gap pictures

Ok so as of this post I have seen 6 galaxy s5's and all six of those had this gap. I would conclude that this is normal, however, I am curious. Would anyone else mind posting a close up picture of their device for reference? How about those of you that say you do not have the gap? Could you guys post pictures too?

Thanks again to everyone who has posted in this thread!!

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has experience this and if you have a solution. I recently rooted my tablet and I am still running stock rom. Also, when I first ran SuperSU it prompted to allow it to remove KNOX, which I did. Today I went to try to use Hword but it only opens a white screen for 2 seconds then closes down, same thing happens with Hshow and Hcell. The updater works fine. I tried clearing data, uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. Any ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameX2:
Hello,

Last month, I have suceesfully unlocked my LG P500 for the low price of 11$.

I was a little confused and the guy who sent me my unlock code helped me a bit, since it was the first time I did it.

Needed to go back to Stock, then unlock. Then I successfully restored my Nandroid backup to go back to CM7, when the IT guy confirmed me the the SIM-Unlock is definitely ROM independant.

It did worked, but I don't understand that point, about unlocking;

The phone HAS to store in one of his partitions, the fact that network is unlocked. But where is this stored? The fact that I've restored a CM7 Nandroid backup (Backup taken when phone was still carrier-locked), and unlock was not lost, I have trouble with understanding that.

So the file, code part or anything, that says the phone is locked, where is it? Obviously it's not in the ROM, /System, cannot be either in the bootloader /Boot. Neither it can be in the SIM itself or SD card (Which would absolutely make no sense), but it has to be stored SOMEWHERE. I'm confused. :eek:

Where is this information stored, in my LG P500 ? It seems definitely impossible to overwrite that partition with a TWRP restore, it doesn't seem to offer write to that partition, whatever partition it is (Would like to know that).

Which would also make sense - read that if unlocking was ROM dependent, anyone could restore a Nandroid backup that someone already unlocked, and unlock their own phone that way.

Where is that unlock information stored in the phone, and in what type? In LG phones? What about Samsung (For my knowledge, Samsung Galaxy S2 X, SGH-T989D ?) ? For Samsung, is this the same partition where the IMEI is stored (/EFS? No such partition exists on my LG P500, I think) ?

Thank you very much, I would like to understand that point.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackerzack:
Good evening, was hoping someone could post the TW launcher included on their 8/10.5 Tabs. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 ed that I'd like to try and use it for (and since the resolution and Android versions are the same...I thought it might be no/minimal headaches).

For those of you that haven't played with one...the Note 10.1has a god awful hald-baked version of TW on it, which looks kinda like a GS4 versions...and kind of like the Pro models. I'm using the Google Now launcher, but miss some of the Two features oddly...so I'd like to give this version a shot!

Thanks,

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbjgh:
I have a BMW X3 and a Samsung S5.

The phone isn't officially supported by the car's multimedia system so I'm looking for a work around.

I've installed Cyanogenmod ver. CM11 which has fixed the intermittent Bluetooth connection issues but I'd like the car's multimedia system to read email messages which worked fine on my older Blackberry devices.

I think I've narrowed down the issue to a Message Access Profile (MAP) issue between BMW and Samsung.

BMW confirms that the S4 is compatible so now my options are to flash a S4 rom onto my S5 or to figure out how to enable full support of Message Access Profile (MAP) on the S5/BMW.

Suggestions?

Hello,

I have XBMC 13.0 Beta4. I have been using it fine for about a month. I changed to a new skin a few days ago but I am not sure this has anything to do with the issue. Today I was going through the menu looking at different options in the skin, however i did not change anything. I pressed the ESC key to get back to the home screen of XBMC. When i did this, the screen went wacky. Previously, my resolution was 1920 x 1080. Now, I see 3 windows along the bottom of my tv and about 30 small windows across the top of my screen (6 columns of 5 windows.) So when I go to settings, I see the resolution is now set to 720x480.

I am not sure how to get this back to normal. I cleared cache. Outside of XBMC the visuals are fine. Should I just upgrade new latest release? When I play a movie, movie plays on all "mini" screens. Sound is fine. I also tried setting XBMC visual settings back to default but that did not help.

Heyho you suckerz,

you know it's overdue to do some real work!

Enough dreaming of personal fame, merging ten thousand f***ing user interface parameters into your very exciting new ROM!

Listen, fanboys: Get up! Drop all that fancy wallpaper-sh:t! Get a real alternative up and running!

What a shame to link to the latest GApps, like potthead lamerz!

We need a ROM that contains some bullet proof alternatives for the broken industry standards!

Make sure your next version includes a proper free and open source

market (like F-droid)

cloud client (like ownCloud)

messenger (like xabber)

eMail client (like K9 mail)

browser (like firefox)

map service (like osm)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjwoohoo:
This has happened to me a multitude of times while working out. I have headphones plugged in and about 20-25 minutes into my workout, the music I'm listening to (either Google Music or Spotify) will lower all the way to mute on it's own for no reason. I'll try and increase the volume wither by the rocker or on the screen, but it still lowers all the way down on it's own. After a while, I can increase it a bit, but then a minute back into it, it'll slowly start to lower again on it's own. I've turned off the safe mode so that you can't listen too loud...but that doesn't do anything. I thought it might have something to do with the orientation of the screen, so I turned that off as well. At times, it'll be ok and then one random day, it's like a ghost wants to mess around with me.

Just to add a note, this all started after I've rooted my phone and I've gone through 3 different ROMs (Cyanogenmod 11, SlimRom, and Purity Rom). Is this an issue with it being rooted? When I was on stock this wasn't an issue. Anyone else having this problem?

Just to let everyone know what to potentially expect in the future, the front camera can come loose for some reason.

Bought on April 21st and noticed it on September 29th. Basically it looks like the camera or a shim dropped in front of the camera. The end result is attached. I didn't have another camera to show you what it looks like but you could tell it had a physical problem. Took it back to ATT for a warranty replacement.

I am a front pocket user but placed upside down, and the phone has always been protected with a case and tempered glass. Dropped 1 time on concrete from 3 feet. Been in the shower about 5 times with it. Downloaded a fishing game that required a lot of shaking. Not sure what caused it but it happened. Not a selfie kind of person so just discovered it today.
