[Q] Apps Opening Without Touching - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had Lollipop for about a week now. Since I had it, the Dialer app opened once when the phone was on the Home screen and I picked it up off a desk. Then a couple hours ago, I had the Google Now page up and when I moved the phone to show someone, one of the cards opened. So both times that it happened, the phone was in motion. Has anyone seen this happen before?

I would recommend cleaning your screen with a microfiber cloth and very little rubbing alcohol. If you have a screen protector, it may be time to replace it.
Another thing, turn off the screen and look at the glass(touch screen) under a bright light and check for micro-cracks.

No screen protector and no micro cracks that I can see. Thanks for the tip.

Help With Touch Pro Screen

Hi guys, i'm having a probelm with my cell phone screen. I had a Boxwave screen protector on that i took off yesterday. As soon i took it off, i noticed under "white light", that there appears to be some sort of deposit in form of square shape in the middle of the phone screen . Now this is wierd because wiping off the screen doesnt do anything. If i stayed under "ÿellow light" this "deposit is not visible". Ive tried cleaning with soap and water, but its still there. I also tried 70% isopropyl alcohol all to no avail. I dont think its inside the screen, because i havent dropped it in water or nothing. Anyone had any experience with this or any ideas??

how do i remove stain lines across screen?

my screen has this 3 marks across (something like when u swipe across the screen with a dirty finger and it leaves the print of swipe) which is caused by the Samsung screen protection film that you have to peel off when you first get your phone. but I had left it on as I have yet to buy a screen protector and occasionally it would peel off but I would just press it back and I guess that's how I got the 3 lines at the place where it peeled off and I stuck it back after finally deciding to do without that film thing.
I've been trying to remove the marks thus I used a micro fibre cloth to wipe the screen and also tried using scotch tape on it too. it would disappear but after using it awhile it would return again which gets quite irritating as sometimes it would be noticeable when the screen is off under the sun. I'm currently refraining from using alcohol wipes as I heard it damages the oleophobic coating.
Was wondering if anyone has any idea how else to remove the marks. anything would be appreciated thanks!
Edit: finally managed to get pictures of the streaks that wont disappear. http://imgur.com/a/yPoxw

Moisture under screen after applying screen protector

I used the shower trick to apply a screen protector to my tablet about a week ago. I recently noticed some marks on the screen and I wasn't sure if it was between the screen protector and the tablet itself, or under the tablet. I removed the screen protector and the marks are just as visible, so they are indeed under the screen.
I tried submerging it in rice inside a sealed ziplock baggie for a couple of days, but there was not effect. I realized that trick is typically used when someone drops their phone/tablet in water and need to have the water absorbed from it. Since my problem is just a few spots on the screen, I figured there must be a quicker and more accurate solution.
When I press on the marks, I don't really see them moving, so I'm not sure if there is still water underneath it or if the marks are the result of some kind of damage. Because the marks are fairly small, it is difficult to see if they do move when pressed since my finger obstructs the view.
What would be the best way to remove them?

Is that a pre-installed screen protector and how can i fix a scratch on the screen?

I 've been using my new phone for a couple of days, when i suddenly noticed a scratch on my screen while i was watching a video and the light wasn't reflecting normally at one specific spot.
I have no idea how that scratch got there, as i have been VERY careful with it. It is not a very big scratch, but i am very upset after having an expensive item damaged in its first days of use.
While searching the internet for ways to fix it, i came across "screen protectors", which i had never heard of before. I also read some tips about having the scratch "removed" with toothpaste or baking soda. However, i do not want to make things worse by applying this homemade material on my screen.
As i was examining the screen, i noticed something that looks like a membrane on my phone's screen. I can't give you a direct link to a photo/video because of this forum rules (not allowing users with less than 10 posts to post external links), but you can see a photo of my screen at imgur . com / 64SXzhB and a video at streamable . com / zk6zw.
Is that a pre-installed screen protector or am i effed? If it is in fact a screen protector, can i remove it and replace it? What should i replace it with and how can i do that?
If need be, would the toothpaste, baking soda tips have any chance of working on my screen?
Thank you very much!
It should be a pre-applied screen protector. Normally, the screen don't have the little "holes" on the internal camera&speaker. I can't tell you if it's a normal screen protector or a glass one, try to apply pressure on the border of the screen with nail and you should see air come under the protector.
The phone come with one on it I dropped my phone when carrying shopping (it fell out my pocket) straight on to a road face down and there was a car coming so I had to slowly slide it on the tarmac it was full of scratches but I took the screen protector off and it was find underneath I suggest you invest for a mid range screen protector it can really save your phone's screen

Are these scratches on my screen or smth else? (photos and video)

Hi guys! I have an issue with my screen on OnePlus 7 Pro, and I'm not really sure what this is. I never had a thing like this on other phones, my OnePlus 6 had a few scratches, but they never behaved this way. And the thing doesn't even look like a scratch but more of a huge print that doesn't go away.
Here is a picture - imgur.com/a/Smb6rvF After about month of having a phone and it always being in the case and with the default screen protector I've started noticing the image distortion in the same place from time to time, you know like a huge fingerprint or grease on the screen but it would appear at the same place. I thought okay, maybe I've scratched the screen so that I can remove the screen protector and it should be fine. So I did, but the thing stayed there as if it was either placed through screen protector or from the other side. And again, it's not that I never saw a scratch or a crack on the screen, but never this thing.
Then after about a week, the thing grew, you can see the blue line here - imgur.com/a/UI4FQTA
the red one was the initial one that I saw even with screen protector on, and the blue just grew out of the old one. Like I pull the phone from the pocket one day, and it's there. And not like I'm wearing and tearing the phone, just regular stuff - in jeans, inside pocket of the jacket, in the sealed pocket in the backpack. And I live in a big city, and I never notice any sand or small particles on the screen or the case. And it doesn't look like a scratch, but more as if the prints just bound to the screen and don't go away.
imgur.com/a/OnPSqj2 - is a more closeup shot. And again you wouldn't notice the thing at the start of the day when I clean my screen, but by the end, it will collect some grease and more prints and will be showing.
Here's a video what happens when I clean the screen -

FYI warranty or anything like that is out of the question since, I bought it during the holiday travel, and the phone is not officially sold in my country. I just wanted to know if there is any solution for this and how to prevent this from happening? Are these scratches but look different because of the new Gorilla Glass version or something like that?
Any help or advice is appreciated, just sad a thing like that happened so early in the life cycle
