hi guys, so i bought a replacement screen, am yet to receive it. It looks very neat, only problem is that its got a scratched area on the top side. My question is, is it possible that scratched area will show when the screen is on? Also how can i hide that scratched area from showing when the phone is on sleep mode i.e when screen is turned off? I have attached a photo of the LCD
Thats a pretty bad scratch... Yes it will show while the screen is on, off.
Put a sticker over it? Sometimes screen protectors will make scratches look a little better..

Yeah I don't think there's a whole lot you can do about that one, it's a real doozie.

Did the seller show you that before purchasing? That's a big area, looks like sandpaper was used to clean screen. I would have returned for another screen or a refund.

I have the Captivate for almost 2 months, but I think this issue is valid for all Galaxy S phones.
Some weeks ago it appeared a stain/smudge on the middle of the screen that can be easily seen with a light color background. Also, I noticed that its seen even with the phone turned off. See both photos attached.
I use invisibleSHIELD. Since the stain is noticed even with the screen turned off, I'm wondering if it may come from the protector instead of the screen itself.
It would be easy if I removed the protector, but if I do so, I'll loose it.
Has somebody had that problem?
May it come from the screen protector?
Thanks
I would imagine that it's the screen protector and the actual phone screen. Just take the screen protector off.
I don't have this problem but you can remove the screen protector and reapply it easily. Just use tape to lift it off the glass and rinse in a bowl of warm water with a drop of dish soap to clean and reapply. I've done this to my screen protector 5 or 6 times for various reasons.
yes my friend this is caused by the screen protector. mine had the same issue. apperantly its from using the squeegy tooo hard!
Could be your LCD Has a burned in Image
If you remove your screen protector and still notice the screen smudge try tilting the phone slightly to get a good angle and try o see if the smudge is internal, if it is I would say its a bleeding LCD, I had this issue with a HTC tilt at&t sent me and they sent me a brand new one free of charge.

It was applied by a authorized ZAGG reseller. I watched and he didn't use it too hard. Any way, I'll remove it.
You had this problem with a invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG protector too or other?

When you had this problem with HTC, were you still able to see the smudge?
What kind of case is that? It looks very slim and pretty cool!

It should be covered under warranty still. Their site offers a 1 year warranty so you should be able to take it back to the seller and get a new one installed free
Its the case from at&t, its like a silicon plastic thing. Lol. I got it too.

I have this same issue with my HTC Magic, that has a screen protector on it. There is a similar mark,smudge on my screen, as a result of a particularly large raindrop hitting my phone. Based on this thread, I can breath a sigh of relief that it didn't damage the screen!

The tilt is a whole different beast... the Samsung is a capacitive touch screen while the tilts were pressure touch...
This feature will add up to wanting me buy sensation, aside from dust proof, and touch responsiveness issues (hope its software related not grounding stuff):
knowing that LED indicator is behind earpiece grill, can someone describe the visibility:
* looking straight on the phone?
* looking at 45 angle at 2 meter distance from different sides of the phone?
Straight at the phone u can see it, at 45, a half of the flash? Well, it's okay...

It's noticeable to me! That was a feature which is missing on the G2x that drove me crazy every "smartphone" should have a notification light!
Thanks a lot, LED visibility should be no issue now for me.
I will keep an eye on dust entering beneath the screen and swipe not responsive issue..
I wonder if dust already there since phone was bought or dust can enter..?
The latter is worst, it is a screen sealed issue..

There is no dust under my screen. There is no way that dust can enter screen after purchase so those who have dust under screen must of bought a bad phone.
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?

Hi All,
I have checked the forums and tried finding the answer to this but haven't had any luck. I was putting on one of those "military grade" screen protectors on my wife's Sensation 4G last night (the kind that you apply water to the back of and then place them on the screen). Long story short, the screen works now (after putting her phone in rice overnight) but the screen is fairly dim and it flickers a bit. I know I will have to replace the LCD portion of the screen since that's the only part that got some water on it from the screen protector application.
Question is, does it matter which LCD replacement screen i purchase from eBay? i have read a bunch of threads that the digitizers are specific and may not work correctly if you get the wrong one, but does that hold true for the LCD itself or can we simply buy any new LCD replacement screen from eBay and install it on the phone (the original digitizer will still be used since the touchscreen works fine).
Any help would be greatly appreciated...i feel like a dope for causing this by applying a screen protector, even though my G2x didn't have this problem at all after applying the same screen protector from the same seller.
Sorry for bumping up an old topic, but I am interested in this too. Anyone can shed light to this matter please?
OP: Did you end up replacing your LCD? How did it go?
So hey you where installing a zagg screen protector?how much water did you put on the screen?
Sent from my Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
I still think those water application screen protectors are a ridiculous idea. Who's idea was it to use water on electronics?! Normal screen protectors do just as well. Make sure the lcd screen is the same physical size, pixel density, made specifically for the device, etc. Try pick the most reputable seller. But you WILL notice a difference in the screen, either colour, sharpness or response.
Ok, so I barely cracked my screen today and the screen won't turn on. The key buttons still show a light when I unlock and lock, but nothing shows on the screen.
I was hoping it would be like this

This is an issue with the LCD. In this device the LCD is fused to the touch screen digitizer (outer glass)
You will need to replace this fused LCD+touch screen digitizer to fix this issue and we have the parts, tools, and guides available and ready to ship.

How long would it take to ship it to Belgium?

I had this same problem too. I was... expressing my disapproval of the outcome of last Sunday's championship game... and the screen cracked slightly. I figured I destroyed it, so I ordered a replacement. I just replaced the screen and digitizer, reassembled it, and the problem persists. The phone will turn on, make noise, vibrate, etc, but no image. What else could I have damaged that would still blank out a new screen? The home/back/menu keys light up fine.
Thanks for the help!
