hi everyone,
i just got my Touch Pro, but i noticed that the flushed screen, on the right hand side, isn't mended well to the frame, where i could slightly see light from the screen coming out, especially in the room where it's dark
does anyone else experience this? it's just slightly and visible only in a dark room where there's no light except your Touch Pro. just worried someday, it may just collect all the dusts and let them in, going under the screen.
Yes, mine has that as well. I was a bit disappointed, but I'm hoping it's not a major issue, though using the case and a screen protector might help a bit.
For now, I use a piece of scotch tape (inserted thin-side into the crevices) to pull out any dust from time to time.
oh well, they should have done better on controlling, i didn't find it such issue on my diamond, well it's a different screen implementation after all, but the latter was better IMO

Despite being careful, my screen is increasingly getting scratched. The scratches are only noticeable when the device is off (thank goodness).
If there are any other persons with the same problem, please post here.
I guess that you did not use a screen protector, right?
Correct. I also own a TyTn II and have no issues with the screen whatsoever. Of all the devices I have owned over the years, only this TC has been an issue.
I was noticing the same so applied the included screen protector... I usually don't bother as I don't like them and the device is a throwaway after a year anyway so it's not a big deal. But in this case I figured if it was like that after a few weeks then after 6 months I'd probably not be able to see the screen!
I've had a few Palm devices before i switched to WM and i noticed this scratching as well......Luckily i'm using the included protector.
I have to say on my previous Palms i didn't have this problem, also while using a protector, which makes me suspect that the stylus is the real problem here.
Any thoughts on this?
I use the screen protector, and also got some spares. I also cover the whoel device with a liquid "screen" protector to helpthe faces from getting ruined. So far so good
Problem with the Touch Cruise (Polaris...) is, that the screen is - unlike the Kaiser's - flat and not indent. This means, its exposed to EVERYTHING it touches. Thus chances are higher you'll get one or two scratches once in a while.
Second thing which I can only cite other ppl on other forums: those Polaris allegedly have a softer top layer to be able to operate the unit using only your finger. This would support catching scratches as well...
I'd use the protector. It's a shame having scratches on that mirrored surface.
Schaggo, can you indicate what other forums people are commenting about the screen?
I am interested in your view that the top layer is softer than most others.
i agree that the stylus is the problem ... to much thin... , i tried one from nintendo ds , it's much more rounded and it slide better ( sorry for my english...)

Yeah, I'm using one from my old IPAQ !
ou guys use other styluses? I use my finger, thats what the Touch series should be made for I know it doesnt really work, the fonts are way too small...
Hicksville, I cannot judge what the other ppl say because I used the protector right away. Nothing ever touched my screen without the protector applied. But as I got it, the top film seems to be made of a softer material than the one of other WM devices. Reason for that is the reason for the "Touch" in the devices name: to make the touch layer register the actual point, where the finger tries to point at. If the top layer would be harder/stiffer it allegedly cant tell where exactly the finger tried to hit the screen because the area involved ('touched' eg. pressed down) would be bigger than with a soft top layer. Thats what I got and which makes some sense.
And logically a soft surface is more prone to be 'hurt' than a surface made of hard material. So I guess this might be connected. But I have to repeat, these are all assumptions by users and in no way official statements.
I've been using my phone w/o a screen protector, and I haven't gotten any scratches. Like schaggo I mainly use my finger. I did however test the screen by applying a lot of pressure with the stylus in a sweeping motion, and I didn't get any scratches (don't ask me what possessed me to try this). I later tried a much more conclusive scratch test on a CDMA Touch unit in a store on both the screen and the body and got no scratches! Yes, I applied a lot of pressure, (However, someone else had managed to put a scratch on the CDMA Touch's screen, but that scratch was really deep and probably done with a really sharp object; on the other hand, I did my testing with my TC stylus). I coudln't scratch both the body or the screen using a lot of pressure from my stylus and my nails. Maybe some of you exposed the TC to coins or keys inadvertantly?
That's pretty gutsy to test it on your own device. I am using the screen protector and I have a few scratches on that which is fine. When the time comes, I'll replace it with a new protector. As far as the rest of the case, I have been very careful so far with my device and haven't gotten any scratches anywhere on it. I think that suede/rubber whatever feel of the device is nice but I think it will scratch.

Yes, very gutsy, I pushed hard enough to watch the screen sink it and rise back up very slowly...I don't know what I was thinking, but hey it turned out well w/o any scratches. The plastic on the screen is a lot stronger than your typical screen protector, so that fact along with my tests pretty much confirmed it for me. Furthermore, I don't like the look of screen protectors and I'm worried that they'll hinder touch flow.
As far as the casing, it seems bulletproof. But I'm like you, I keep it in the oem suede/microfiber case whenever its not being held to my ear for a phone call, and I've never put it in a pocket with anything else.
Actually with the suede comment I was talking about the body of the actual device. I'm not sure what that is but it has a nice texture to it. I haven't used that pouch that came in the package. Not a big fan of it. Head on over to the acc forum to see which cases people like. As far as the screen protector goes the original one does not hinder touch capabilities. Also in the acc forum they discuss different screen protectors, you might wanna check out one of those as well.
Came today from Play.
It is very odd has a cut out at top left (as if something underneath the glass requires a clear "signal") and a hole cut for the LED to shine through.
All in all a bit strange for £5 for 2.
Does it effect the screen quality in anyway? And does it help with fingerprints? I'm looking to get a new screen protector cos the one I got reduces screen quality by too much. (hint: avoid the forever fitters screen protectors!)

I just bought one recently and it's still shipping. Hope it won't reduce the screen sensitivity by too much. It's already perfect by default.

The proximity sensor and the ambient light sensor is to the left of the HTC logo.
Proximity sensor?

It's what turns the screen off when you hold the phone to your ear during a phone call, and what turns it back on when you bring the phone back down.
Take my advice. Do NOT buy this screen protector. I have just tried to fit two and failed both times. £5 vanished.
Why?
It is what I'd call a literal fit - in other words there is no margin between the protector and the actual screen. That makes it almost impossible to get right first time - and as you will know, with a screen protector, first time is best. The protector will almost certainly overlap the screen microscopically, riding up at the edge, leaving air pockets you won't be able to get out. Take if off to apply again and hello dust.
It also seems to be much more prone to bubbling than the non HTC one I'd put on before. Wish I'd left it on.
Am considering not bothering since I have an HTC case and it is glass not plastic.
But bloody annoying.
Has no one else noticed the little circle thing in the top left ish of the device??
First time i saw it i thought it was a camera but obviously isn't.
Then thought maybe it used for auto brightness or something like that?
its in the top left, in line with the htc logo, about a cm in from the left.
Have to have the screen off, and look very close.
Read the thread - proximity sensor apparently

Exactly my experience too, I couldn't have put it better myself. Waited two months for this POS.
I think the only real solution is trim it on one side very slightly....
Just put mine on today too. Most unimpressed compared to the cheap pack of 6 from Germany. Fingerprint magnet and difficult to clean them off. I had to put the second one on straight away too, due to the fit, but considering putting one of the cheap ones back on!
AVOID.
Exactly so. That's what I've done
Hi all,
It seems to me that the edge of the lcd screen is not responsive (both left and right) at times when I put it inside a leather case(similar to theM1 case). If I take it out of the case, it's very responsive.
Does anyone notice the same problem?
Thanks.
I've brought that up before. Out of the case the screen is very responsive all over. In a case it's much less responsive around the edges. If you use the screen calibration apk it helps a little, and I find you get a better response around the edges using your thumb than pointer.
I don't know of any real solution, or what causes it.

glad to know i am not the only one with the problem.
My guess is that the case must touch the tablet somewhere that confuses the touch sensor.
mine did this for a little while and then just went away. the calibration didn't help and reloading the ROM didn't either.

Can you try to remember what you could have done to make it go away? Changed or modified the case in anyway?
It's so annoying.
It seems as if the G-Tablet's touch sensor is EXTREMELY sensitive. It even detected my headphone wire touching it. I knew this because when I would touch it at the same time the wire was on it, it would start spazzing out. Remove the wire, effect gone. Be happy that this thing is ultrasensitive. Could be worse, could be a resistive touchscreen.
its not possible it is a capcitative touch screen. I am experiencing the same problem I think it has do with part of our finger is on the case and not on the screen. If i press on it and roll it side to side a bit it will pick up my touch
I have found that using live wallpapers reduces the responsiveness of the touch screen especially around the edges.
Base on my experience with these device in the past, all the live wallpaper does is eat up your cpu horsepower. You want your device to operate at its optimum, yes? Just use a regular wallpaper. Kill all non-essential tasks.
Unfortunately I don't have any productive advice but I can tell you that I bought the p4 case off of steve (great website fast shipping) and a capacitive stylus. Like you described it was totally unresponsive toward the edges. I tried the calibration app and no significant success. After a couple of days use it started registering the touches consistently.
Hi,
My 4th (!) TF arrived and features very little light bleed (compared to two horrible ones I had prior, and one ok one), no stuck pixels, perfectly balanced stereo sound and no dust under the screen!
It is like winning the lottery!
However, it does have the screen gap issue. Can anyone suggest how to fix this, other than put sticky tape all the way down the edge? Is there some small rubber sealant that can be bought that would look like the Asus seal? I'd love to make sure it is sealed so no dust gets in as this one is NOT going back!
Thanks!
It may be dirty or greasy, but I still do not think that is the main problem...
I feel like whatever "coating," if any exists, has worn out. My screen has gotten to the point where it is kind of irritating. Also, when the screen is black, but still lit up, there are parts that are darker than others. I have also noticed my screen being less responsive in some areas...having to use force...It also seems to be in areas that I touch the most. Then again, I would notice it more when those areas are unresponsive, so I can't be certain (seems likely).
I never bought a screen protector because I don't scratch my screen. I shouldn't need to buy a screen protector to protect from INTENDED USE on a 600$ (or whatever) product, so that kind of advice isn't very useful. And it seems that even if I did apply a screen protector at this point, it wouldn't work.
If I gotta buy a new screen...unbelievable...
Anyone else have a similar problem? Am I just not cleaning it well enough?
Thanks
