I've read alot about people having some issues wit the screen but nog this
one:
As soon as I booted the Transformer the first time I noticed a raster/grid like overlay on the screen on brighter backgrounds (i.e. whites like this forum). This is probably the touch part of the screen and it is only sometimes noticable and not pronounced enough to irritate or annoy. I first didn't think of it as a real "defect" or "issue" but I did not read anything similar on this forum. Thus i'am wondering if this is "normal" or not. Do you noticed anything similar?
I noticed it when I breathed on the screen before wiping it with a cloth, the screen was off at the time. I didn't notice it with the screen on though.
Jh, I experienced that too whn i was wiping the scren with a moist (water) cloth
Nobody else having this
that grid is indeed for the touch, i see it on all my capacitive devices to some degree with the screen off, never with the screen on though.
I see it on mine when the screen is off. I do see it with the screen on but usually when it has a crapload of hand grease. Some windex makes it look good again. Is this common for tabs? Mine is not even straight, the grid is way off center. Does the Douche....i mean ipads have this?
Notied this on mine first day I got it too, but only see it in sunlight with screen off. And no the iPad does NOT have this wierd pattern on the screen.

Hi guys,
About 3 weeks ago I noticed that in certain light, I could see a grid of dots, starting from 5mm from each side of the screen. These dots were arranged in some a regular pattern, so I assummed it was screen sensors, that I had not see before.
However last week, I noticed this same area was now becoming strangely colored. Its difficult to explain, but viewing the screen at an angle or in certain light, that area of the screen looks like the screens plama is leaking. Its similar to if you put a drop of clear oil between the screen protector and the screen itself. This is definatly occuring on the internal part of the screen. So im going to call up HTC this week, and if they request me to send it back, do I need to un-hard-spl the phone? If so how do I do this?
Thanks
I had similar issue with my old Himalaya in the past. It seems like an oil spot between surfaces under specific angle. Now I have another problem with screen on my Rafi-Some blue 'clouds' visible all the time after accident with my car(I lost my phone with case on the parking place and someone-maybe me also drove very closely around it,so the device is just a little bit damaged,but not so much).
I have same problem on my Touch Pro, but my seller say to me this fabrication problem...not important problem...but its very distrubity

I faced this problem in Touch dual before, and the screen was replaced in warranty.
now i've the same in my TP, but this time it clearly decreased the touch screen sensitivity...
i'd say go for replacement.
I encountered the newton's ring problem-term given to me by a HTC staff. I got the handset from O2 but they seemed clueless about this. The problem is that it disappears and then re-appears randomly. Third time I have seen it. I have also encountered the 'oil spill' effect under specific lighting. I can't see it anymore though.
Will drop into an O2 shop asap.

my Fuze has this oil spill effect too.. going to try to put it in a bag of desiccant overnight to see if its just moisture
This is a physical problem, the screen works fine and has no distortion as far as what it looks like when its on. But I noticed this weekend that when it was off I noticed a like triangular section in the middle of the screen, where it has a rainbow-ish discoloration pattern and small dots in the middle of the screen, about 1/4 of a inch inward all the way around the display part of the screen. The dots are in a perfect grid-like format and the rainbow color distortion almost looks like an oil slick.
I have had the factory screen protector on it since day one, I peeled it back today only to find its on the screen itself, I tried to wipe it off and nothing. I always carry the phone in a belt clip and never in my pocket, etc. So I don't know how it could have gotten damaged or how damage could cause such a curios perfect pattern of strangeness on the screen.
Anyone else ever seen this happen?
well i have heard its damage from high pressure... the touch layer in the screen gets damaged some how and leaves an oil looking spot... sorry but here is a good thread on what i think your seeing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428749&highlight=spot+screen
Oh wow/crap its times like this when I guess I'm glad I'm not a regular consumer but have this through work, so I'm sure they will replace it, if not they will buy me another. Should I even get another or is there something like this but better? I'm with ATT.
If you want a windows mobile powerhouse stay with the fuze... for sure... i have had mine since november when they first came out for at&t and mine runs and looks great... no screen problems or anything... ya and good thing its through your company
i got my tf300 in the mail today and opened it and everything looks to be completely unmolested.
however if it's off and i get the light shining on it just right, i see diagonal lines on the screen that form perfectly symmetrical squares all across the screen. i seriously touched the screen twice since taking it out of the box, so it's nothing i did. i can't take a picture of it either, it doesn't show up. it is subtle but absolutely noticeable.
can anyone else look at theirs and tell me if i'm crazy? i mean i don't know what else it could be if it isn't part of the glass. the lines are way too perfect to be some kind of accident.
btw, can't feel them or anything, they look like light marks...tried to wipe them off with the cleaning cloth to no avail.
It is part of the screen, I assume it is part of the digitizer (or whatever you want to call it for capacitive touch screen sensor).
It only is visible on certain angles, not always.
yep, they're there all right. they actually look pretty cool. i don't think asus would put them there if they didn't have a good reason, you can't see them most of the time anyway so it's all good.
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
Hi all
My moto Maxx has gone through a lot, but the strangest problem yet started yesterday.
As you can see on the attached video, half of the screen is constantly scrolling. This happens in fastboot and recovery mode as well, so I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem.
The digitizer still works perfectly, and registers touch where the icon or button should be positioned on the screen. The moving screen also does show everything correctly, just in this crazy scrolling way.
I'm not very hopeful in fixing it, but was wondering if anyone has ever seen this, and if you guys think this is a broken display(and any way to test this?) or a broken GPU. If it is in fact the display, I might consider replacing it.
Some background on all the terrible things I did to this phone:
- Dropped it and cracked screen in September.
- Replaced the glass myself, slightly burned display when removing glass without any consequences (just a tiny mark on the top right, the side that actually still works).
- Dropped again, broke glass again, never bothered to fix it, some small pieces are missing so dust, sweat,.. could've gotten int.
Video:
Most likely the display being broken.
Even when my tempered glass protector is missing chunks the screen starts to funk up. Only worse being the real screen especially the digitizer.
You might be right pjd, or at least screen related.
I opened it up yesterday evening, and I think it might be the cable connecting the screen. Depending on how I positioned the screen and thus the angle at which the cable was bent, it was fixed, the same, or just completely black.
The only thing I have to try to find out now is if it's the kabel, or the connector on the motherboard. Any suggestions on how I could test that are welcome!
