[Q] Strange film on the display surface. Any suggestions? - General Questions and Answers

Hello Guys,
i am asking the community here if anyone has any kind of hint for me:
i recently bought me a Xiaomi Mi4i as a replacement for my beloved Nexus 4 (display broken) and i must say that it really is a nice toy
But after nearly 2 -3 days of using it i am facing these strange problems inside the red area as seen on the picture Mi4i.jpg
There is a sort of dirty film on the surface which is not to be cleaned away with any material i used (clean cloth, paper towel, microfiber cloth, t-shirt, lens cleaner, tft cleaner).
At first the display seems to be clean but then again this dirty film comes back (check the other two attached pictures starting with IMG).
Does anybody know what my problem is? What can i do instead of using RMA cause this will take some time from germany to Hong-Kong
Kind Regards

[Q] Are these dead pixels?

Hello guys, i just noticed today this hairline tiny black strip on my display, thought it was dust but it didn't wipe off. My phone is a week old and i never really had a device with defective pixels before so i can't really tell what this is. I ran the defective pixels fix videos for 30 minutes but that didn't help. Sorry for the image quality, i don't have a decent camera to capture those tiny pixels.
I also noticed that i have light bleeding from all edges when i view the device from an angle, is that normal for the nexus 5?
Could it be that there are gaps between the glass and the display that allow dust to go beneath the glass, and this is just a dust particle under the glass?

The light bleeding is normal I've seen on all Nexus 5 i have owned, the "Dead Pixel" is a little hard to judge , but in my opinion as its not solid square(s) i think it may be dust or debris.
I had purple spots start showing up on my first one. That doesn't look too bad but it would bug me too.
Do you think that more dust could get in if that's the case? I have a local warranty and i'm leaving this country after a month, if the issue won't grow bigger than this, then i may just live with it as i don't think LG would give me a replacement unit here.
Not sure if it would be an issue for them as the phone isn't dust proof,I'm no way saying its cool as it would annoy some people. I guess best thing is contract them and see what they say mate

It looks like dust to me, but to know it for sure I recomend you to take it to a LG Center.
They may not give you a replacement unit, but at least you will know what the problem is.

Camera Glass stain

Hi everyone !
Since last week I own a xperia Z5, and I'm fully satisfied of this phone ! No problem encountered excepted yesterday.
I was looking at the back of my Z5 when I saw a little stain on the glass of the camera, I didn't pay attention, I thought it was some kind of dry water stain nothing more, today I look back again and the stain spread a little bit on the glass of the camera ! I decided to wash it with Q-tip and guess what ? The stain spread more ! So I've stopped and I leave my phone like this for the time being. Just to be clear, this not seems to be neither water stuck inside the glass nor a scratch,this only seems to be an uncleanable stain, also the phone keep taking some pretty good photos like there was nothing on the glass. That's just a aesthetic problem.
So I came here to see if someone has the same issue and if you can help me to fix this. I'll put some photos later, thanks everyone !
It's not a stain, it's the UV protection layer of the camera peeling off and using the qtip only made it peel even more. Not that big of a deal, you'll just get more intense reflections if you try to take pictures in bright sunny areas. Can compensate with manually adjusting the exposure and stuff.
If you don't have issues with it just leave it alone, if you get problems with the camera auto focusing or blurry images then you might want to peel it all off with a qtip and some toothpaste.
Some of the services are replacing the back panel under warranty for this issue aswell, might want to check your area and see if that's true for you.
Thanks for your Reply !
As you said it ain't big deal, i can live without it doesn't bother me (i'm not gonna change the back panel or if i do it's only because the problem become bigger) , but now i just want finish what i've accidentally begun and fully remove the UV layer (Blurry images, and Blue tint now and then ) .
Are you sure that the toothpaste will make it ?
Because right now on my camera it looks like a "sugar stain", i don't know how can i describe it , and taking a photo will lead nowhere because we barely see the "stain".
Either way i assume that you know what i'm talking about .
One last question , if i totally remove the UV layer , does my camera will look like before or it will be visible ?
Thanks again for your help
Yes toothpaste will do just fine, just gently rub the glass with a q-tip, rinse and repeat until all the coating is gone. Make sure you don't press too hard, don't want to scratch or break the glass. The camera will look clean afterwards. e.g. no more stained look.
Like I said you'll have brighter reflections on objects afterwards, like the sun reflecting in the water or on a car, but not that big of a deal.
The blue tint is not related to this, it's just due to Z5's software apparently, maybe they fix it on 7.0, fingers crossed.
I've rub a little bit with toothpaste and Q-tip, now the layer take all the camera Glass, guess I need to rub again, my photo are more and more blurry due to the extension of the layer. When we look at the glass on the sun it look like a rainbow and there is still some stain, I'll keep going, hope I'll fully remove the last stain .
Thank you very much
Ok so I come back one last time, I've got removed a lot of stain but some of them remain impossible to remove. The photos are more and more blurry so i've got called my seller, and he says that I can send back my Z5 to him and he'll give a new one for free.
This message is for you who have the same problem than me, if you have the UV layer peeling off, do not try to remove it, it will be worst, either you try to live with or send it back, your warranty will not be used and you'll get a new phone for free (don't know if it's the same everywhere but here in France that's the case).
Thanks for your support and your advices !

p10 display problem

Hi guys. I'm having problems with my P10. I have bought a second-hand P10, 6 months old and in mint condition. I removed the factory plastic film and put a tempered glass on. The next day I noticed that i see white digitizer lines and discoloration around the touched area even on light presses. I have removed the glass and after about 15 minutes without the display protector, the things returned to normal. I put this down to poor protector quality. I used it like that for 2 days, with no issues. Then, I decided to put a new plastic film to avoid accidental scratches. After only 10 minutes, to my surprise, I noticed the same distortions on the display. Upon googling for a bit, I learnt that my phone may be suffering from static electricity problem. Is this correct, and if so, do I RMA? The display distortions from the electricity are most noticable when you try to remove the plastic film looking at the display at the same time.... After the removal, the things seem to stabilize.... Any suggestions welcome. (if important, both the plastic film and the glass were no name products)

NEX S falls 140km/h, ceramic coating and reconstruct clear back

Hey guys!
So, long story short, I started having some ideas on how to hard-proof your NEX S without using any cover/case. After implementing this ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/accessories/ceramic-paint-coating-nex-s-t3901551 ) I started using my NEX S without any case or cover (only used it on the glass back).
2 weeks ago it slipped from my support in the moto at 140km/h and I thought I've lost it completely. After recovering it, it was working perfectly with only the metal rim around it heavily damaged and the glass back shattered (no problem with the cameras or the front screen). Again, no cover or case was in place at the time of the fall, so props to VIVO.
So I ordered another glass back from AliExpress for 10dolares ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32948791106.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1a454c4dS17NTw ) and made the change.
P.S: I dipped the glass back in the ceramic paint again several times before applying if it worked the first time.... It already comes with double-sided tape to apply.
I've cut a little bit of the interior panel so now I can see the front camera mechanism going up and down (JerryRig everything on youtube).
Sorry for the poor image quality, but I couldn't use my phone to take those for obvious reasons
If anyone has any questions or different ideas for this still amazing phone please share, I don't plan on selling it anytime soon :good:

Big Problems with film protectors

Hello everybody.
I have s23 ultra and I have been trying to pu a film protector (not glass protector). And I have been struggling.
The first time, the film was not ok: really dark. So I bought official ones.
I have removed the first one gently. Cleaned my screen with the humid swept. Checked up the screen. Ok +> put an official one.
And I had a strange scratch on the film !!! like a lot a really small bubbles who formed a scracth (3-4 mm).
Strange so I did it again:
removed the second one gently. Cleaned my screen with the humid swept. Checked up the screen. Ok +> put an official one.
Same result but worse: the "scratch" is longer at the same place!!!! and there is a new kind of bubble in other space...
I don't understand it. What is could be??? residues...?
What can i do to get rid of it ??? Alcohol ???
Somebody had the same problem ? Please help me.
Thank you
