Does anyone else notice tiny light blue dots on their screen when they tilt it at a certain angle?

I don't have this issue either.
Yes i have seen it.
You need to hold it in direct sunlight and at a slight angle. Dont have a clue what it is though.

That sounds like the sensor points (or whatever they're called) for the touchscreen digitizer.
That would make sense.. it never bothers me as you only see it in direct sunlight and at a stupid angle.
I have never seen it during normal use even in bright light.

Yes that is exactly what I was talking about. The sensors make sense actually, never thought of that. Doesn't bother me either, was just wondering if it was only my screen.
Thanks guys!

haha this is the first time I've ever seen it. At first I thought I was seeing things because everyone else I showed the phone to couldn't see anything
Thats the proximity sensor and the light sensor. Cover the sensor with your finger, Screen brightness will change if you have auto brightness enabled.

Reflection under glass

Not the oval thing on the top beside the logo, on the actual capacitive screen itself.
I think the dots are just used for the capacitive screen to work. Also, I've noticed that connecting the dots on each line is a horizontal line on each row. I only saw this when putting it next to my lamp thou.

Yes I saw those lines as well! Had to hold it up to a very bright light lol
At the right angle, the reflection from the sun will shot the dots. It's the digitizer, and it looks cool to me. =D

I just recently had an idea about the terrible viewing angle of the Gtab's screen. the basics of a LCD screen is a sandwich of glass, liquid crystal, electrodes, and more glass. but the most important part is the back-light, it allows you to see what is displayed on the glass. the back-light on most monitors consists of a row of LED lights and many sheets of paper that evenly spread and carry that light.
my thought being what if we replaced the the films and papers behind the glass to distribute the light better.
sorry for the long post but i realized this after watching a tare down video of an LCD screen. also after thinking when i turn my gtab upside down i can see it at most viewing angles (seeing as the LED strip is directly shining from that angle)
would this be possible?
how about finding a way to flip the screen around?

Hmm that still doesn't solve the problem. You still get that weird angle in portrate and I don't think the cables would reach from the other side.
Good thought though.
the viewing angle has nothing to do with the backlight. A stronger backlight would be better for outdoor viewing though.
There is another long thread on the site with most of this info in it.

I'm not saying its the backlight but the distribution of that light that is the problem

Issue with viewing angle are due to the circular polariser in front of the lcd and also to the material used in the capacitive film, I doubt you will get much by playing with the backlight...
That said the spec of the screen are not the worst I have seen, far from it...

I personally have zero issue with the screen. My Dell Mini 9 is the same way and I just view it head on. When I use my Mini9, I angle the screen to it's perpendicular to my view. I do the same with my Gtab.
Would it be better if it had an IPS with RGB LED backlighting? Yes, but it would also be about $400 more to buy.
That being said, I may ask LG for a sample through work, for one of their new IPS screens, just to see what a difference it makes.

Hey guys,
Today I noticed a very weird looking spot right above the "htc" logo on my TMO Sensation. It seems like there is some fluid just beneath the surface of the screen and the spot is right at the edge of the screen. I am really careful with my phone and i dont think i caused it. I didnt drop it or put any pressure on the screen. And, I always carry my phone in my bag. I really dont know what happened!! I looked at my phone in the sunlight today and it was there. I know for sure it wasnt there yesterday.
Anyone else having the same issue? What should i do?
Thanks.
PS. I will take a picture of the spot and post it when i get home.
For sure post a picture. Maybe it's the dust issue everyone is having?
I know its not the dust issue for sure. It looks like there's some kind of liquid under the screen. And its starting from the edge of the screen.
i have the same problem and i actually just sent my phone in today for repair. it looked like some circles (definitely not dust) that i can rub with my shirt and they would disappear, but only to come back 15 minutes later.
Well, i tried cleaning that area but no luck. where did you send it for repair?
I believe it is some kind of sensor, probably the light sensor for the automatic brightness or the proximity sensor. I have it as well. It's between the htc logo and the other sensor to the left of the speaker. I'm sure it's meant to be there. No need to send it in for repairs.

I hope that aint the beginning of a newton ring in youre sake.
Its a kinda oil looking spot?
For newton rings they say you applied to much presseaur on the screen wich caused it.

@Jimmah555 The spot is right above "tc" of "htc" logo. and the proximity sensor is right above it. so i dont think it's meant to be there. weird!! i am gonna goto the tmobile store tomorrow and check out the demo handset.

You Sir are great!! Thank you.
So if that's the proximity sensor under the glass like it shows on the pdf manual, what's the little circle thing to the left of the speaker grill? Is that light sensor?

I see some horizontal lines when the phone's screen is off and see the screen on a very bright light.
Is it the way LCD panels are supposed to be like or any defect?
I already searched the forum and could not find any answer. Please confirm

On my Verizon M8 it looks like there is a clear coat or sticker on the flash next to the front facing camera. I tried with my finger nail to scrap it off but doesn't come off like it is a sticker. Looking at the phone though from an angle in the light you can easy see though there is some sort of film cover on the front facing camera flash. Just not sure if that is built in to be like that or i need to take it off?
I don't know what it is either

Not complaining that it looks bad or anything. Can only really see it from an angle and in the light at the right angle. Just not sure if it's suppose to be there or not or have any negative impact on front facing pictures? Not a selfie type of guy anyways so doubt i'll even one use this front face camera, lol! Anyone know a good free app for maybe video calling from this phone to an iphone 5s? What my wife has.

Tried video calling once with my old HTC One X+ to my wife's iPhone 5 with tango i think? Both had full 4g service or at least 3 bars and thing was laggy. I don't know if it's all gimmicks on Apple's commercials on how literally instant and fluid their video calling is? I can't find anything that smooth or clean from HTC device to an iPhone. Probably only thing i would use this front face camera for if there is such an app???
are you referencing the IR sensors? I will be thrown for a loop if that is for flash!
Yeah, I don't think there is a flash on front..If so, loop I'll be thrown into as well.. I will say this thread made me jump into camera to try it lol

Haha, sorry guys! Never used the front camera yet so just figured it was a flash. Had no idea that was an IR sensor. Is it then also the sensor for brightness? Like when on a call and you put phone up to your ear it turns screen off or answers call doing this, sensor for this?

It's either the sensor to know when the phone is at your face, or it's the ambient light sensor.
Either way, I noticed the little overlap on mine as well. It looks to me like the whole screen has a little coating on it, but they couldn't have that over the sensor. But the cutout is just slightly off. I'm very picky, and that annoys me, but I'll deal with it haha

Anyone else notice the lines hidden in the front glass? It's definitely part of the construction and is impossible to see from the light on the lcd. You can see it if you catch glare from a lightbulb and only on the exact spot of the glare.
Just curious, but to me this looks like a ridging pattern to make the glass strong. Has anyone seen this on other phones or this phone?
I noticed the lines too last night.
Yep but its an LCD panel with Sharps edge technology. Otherwords: it is what it is. The screen looks fake once I turn it on.
sometimes I notice the lines from the touch layer in the right lighting on nearly all my devices... is that what your seeing?

I haven't had a device yet where the sensor could not be seen in the correct light.
Even my Nexus 6P shows lines with light at the correct angle.

I believe so. They are definitely inside the glass. I've just never seen them on another phone. Like I said I cant see them unless it's a direct glare hitting it from a lightbulb or something.

That sounds normal. I don't have the device yet, so I'm just going by my own experience on other devices.
While it is much more distinct on this device. It's normal. I can even see it on my pixel XL if I'm looking for it.
