Grid of dots on screen - Asus Transformer TF700

Just got my Infinity in and the screen looks great, however I can sometimes see a matrix of dots, especially when the screen is off. Is that the multitouch matrix?

Yes it is.

So this is perfectly normal? When the screen is lit, those grid of dots also barely visible.

Yes, it's normal. I see the dots only in bright ambient light.

Yes, this is perfectly normal. Without it you'd be using a mouse.

Every phone I've ever had since my HD2 has had these dots, it's just part of the capacitive screen.

G2X Screen

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

How do I calibrate the touch screen of Galaxy Tab 2 7.0??

I can't find this setting anywhere! Having problems with my touch screen not registering touches correctly...

Did you try wiping the fingerprints off?
You can't really calibrate a capacitive touch screen.
wash your hands fool!!!
haha, actually if it is not registering, it sometimes can build a static charge on the surface. Using only a slightly damp cloth you can wipe the screen off. Let it air dry and it should be good to use.
Ahhh now I know why I can't calibrate it. Well I exchanged it for a new tablet (other issues as well), and it works fine now. It was a hardware issue.

Does your screen work with "any" material?

My screen can be used with nails and all sorts of cables and stuff just like a resistive, although its a capacitive touch screen.
Are you guys also able to do this?
I have never been able to do this with other capacitive screens

It should work with anything conductive. Or at least has a capacitance
Ok thanks thought i had something wrong but btw look at this photo...
This happens when im scrolling pages, seems like some sort of a dead spot on my screen or? And then in some cases get random presses on screen...

I really dont see what your talking about. Do you mean those lines that have breaks in the middle shouldnt? I know right after i put on a wet apply screen protector i had a similar problem but it goes away after a few hours to a day. Did you just put on a screen protector? If not i dont know what to tell you. It might be defective.

The line that i drawed should have been one same line but it doesnt and when i did go to a touch test app it didnt recognize any touches in that area and I do not have a screen protector this has happened once before and it has often worked after a reboot i will see tomorrow but i dont think this is still normal. Overall my tablet doesnt seem as snappy as everybody elses s i think im going to send it back to repair

I think its from using the nail rather than a regular stylus. That's was doing it to me, with a normal stylus it don't do it.

The line is drawed with my finger and not with my nail.

Screen rippling effect

So on the middle if the screen when I apply some force, I notice that it creates a rippling effect. Its similar to when you push hard enough on a calculator screen, it does the same effect. So is this normal or should I return it?

This will happen to any lcd/led/plasma screen. It is more noticeable near the middle on larger displays (than a phone) as the screen cover bends more easily there than around the edge.
Why would you apply force to a touch screen?
Well honestly, I didn't even apply too much force at all. I only noticed it while wiping it down with a cloth. So if this happens with every screen, this however, did not happen to my touchpad. But I'll just take your word for it...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
No, just cleaning your screen (gently!) should not cause these rippling effects. Neither should normally applied force do. If that's the case, it's a defective one; return it.

Remember - Gorilla Glass 2 is much thinner that the original - so it would take less force to cause it to flex - maybe that's why you are seeing on the TF700 using the same amount of pressure (and didn't see it on the Playbook)... Assuming that the Playbook doens't also use Gorilla Glass 2 (I'm not sure)...
My recommendation would just not apply that much force when cleaning it!

I applied enough force on my screen (in the middle) to break a heavy duty plastic spoon (the big clear type) and don't have that.
Well, with that being said. I'll be exchanging the tablet for the fourth freaking time! I guess I'm just unlucky with this kind of stuff.

OK, thanks for that. It was like having that big red button with a sign saying 'do not press', just couldn't resist
So after reading your post I couldn't help myself. Pressed on the center of my screen a little harder than usual and sure enough, there's the ripple effect. Only, after trying it a couple more times it left behind almost like finger smudges under the glass.
Did you hear me swear and call you names
Anyway, after 1/2 a minute or so the smudges dispersed and I'm good again.
So I'll put my hand up to being a knob.... I pressed it
So who else couldn't resist?
Go on...Press it....Press it.......Press it.....
I pressed it Got the same ripple-effects described. But no finger-smudges under the screen..

Strange white spots on the screen

Hi, recently I have noticed sth on my screen. Those spots are only visible on black background.
What is that?
I'm sending a photo

That is "normal" as in mine has it as well in the corner but it's not normal as in somewhere somehow someone pushed too hard on that section making the actual crystals too close to the actual back light. Mine is very unnoticeable though.
