Bottom corner of screen presses down...

I was wondering if anyone of you have experienced this issue. If I press down on the screen right under the search icon in the lower right corner, the glass ever so slightly, very softly presses down. Almost as if the glue is soft or there is nothing hard there. Also I get the screen discoloration that happens when you do that to an lcd screen.
I have read online that others have this issue and even the demo units at the att stores do it as well. Keep in mind that there is no light bleeding through and the glass is not raised just presses down.
What do you all think?

I noticed this on my aria. Its how I got it upgraded to the inspire. These screens are attached with a thin layer of double sided adhesive. Think of it as ultra thin 3m tape. I think it might actually keep the screen from breaking under light stress. I would keep an eye on it and if it gets worse maybe call HTC for repair.
Never had any issue with the digitizer because of it tho.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how it makes me feel though. I don't think I'll return it just yet.

Mine does the same in the bottom. I've also noticed not all 4 corners are equally flush with the black ring that goes around the screen. O well, small thing really. Phone is so amazing.

Yeah I love this phone. I swapped it out and now everything is good. The only thing though is that out of the 3 they pulled out, 2 had dirt under the screen. That tells me we might need to figure something to fortify the screen better.

That bugs the hell out of me! I wish i would have saw that before my return period expired

Your phone has a 1 year warranty tho. So if it gets worse you can at least have it repaired. I would really suggest getting it fixed because that creates a paper trail.

mine does this too. I guess I'm heading to the AT&T store.

Did you have any issue swapping it out ? I'm 2 days past my 30

I tried to swap mine out within my 30 day period, and the sales guy told me he couldn't give me a new inspire (because the demo model and his personal one had the same issue) but would let me get an atrix. I still have my inspire, funky screen and all!

Mine does the same thing. I wonder if all of them do it? did the one you swapped for do it too?
Also when I went in and talked to the radio shack guy he told me that if I put something heavy on it overnight it would reattach to the double stick tape if I didnt want to return it. Also can your return a phone with this issue rooted and s-off? or do you need to go through the process of returning to stock?

I would take it back stock. It seems to be an issue that doesn't affect the phone. Only thing that sucks is returning it to find out the replacement is worst or better yet, get one with dust under the screen. Also it seems to be at the corner of the screen where you normally wouldn't press on the screen.

Mine new one is better
I had no problem trading mine in at all. My new one is much better. Well, actually it has no problems at all. My screen was making an audible clicking when I pressed it down. I just don't touch that section of the screen at all cause I am afraid to hear it again.

My screen is okay. I guess this problem is there for most devices with LCD touch screens. To make it slim/light/cheap the screen rests on a really thin platform I feel.
On a off topic : -This happened with my iPod. I went to the "genius" bar and that guy brought 10 different iPods out and showed me by pressing the bottom right part of the screen that this is "common" .... I had no better argument then.

Screen burn in of status bar

So my phone has a burn in at the top of the screen and on white screen like a browser there is a blue bar. Its faint. Should I go to best buy mobile to get a replacement or use my warranty. Or does anybody have a fix

Anybody?

There's no way to fix it if it's really screen burn in. Use any warranty you have.

[Issue] [Daylight] [Touch screen sensitivity lost]

Hi,
I have been using ICS rom (various flavours) and noticed an odd thing while unlocking the screen to use the homescreen during daylight.
As soon as i unlock it (whether stock unlock screen or magiclocker) the touch sensitivity goes for a toss.. if i click on dialer icon, the click doesnt get recognized and few seconds later "delete to recyclebin" option is shown on the clicked icon.. and the whole touch screen becomes unresponsive..
There is no complete way to come out of this situation.. one workaround is lock the screen again by pressing power key and then unlock it..few times.. . Worst case, kill all apps and reclaim memory.. and lock and unlock again.. but the issue appears out of nowhere when we want to use the phone on urgent purposes.. like calling someone or picking up a call..
For this reason, i downgraded my phone to gingerbread ZSLE6 and with ardatdat kernel 1.8.3, this issue is still there.
I dont know if this issue is reported earlier or a known issue. Searched the forum and got no results on our forum for SGR.
Kindly share if someone of you have seen it and if there are any workarounds for the same.
Another note is: This issue appears only in daylight.. and in outdoors when sun is shining.. but never came across when at home..!!
Thanks..

Could your hands be sweaty? From my experience water or sweat interferes with the touch screen...

It's sweat for sure!

Zsle6 with 1.8.1 kernel..u ll never face this prob..

Buddy sweaty hands or q dirty screen guard are the reason 110% sure.
I was having this problem when i had a clear screen guard for my SGR.
Someone suggested me a matte screen guard and now the problem of frequent beserk screen has gone down by 95%.
Try wiping the screen before you use it and do not use dirty/wet hands
That makes the screen operate as if some ghost is operating it.
Touch something..something else happens

Buddy where did u get matte screen guard from for our device?

Even i wanted to know.if possible not on ebay..i don't have a card
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app

Hi folks .
Actually I dry my thumb before I touch the screen! (Rub my thumb with pant ).
But somehow I have seen the entire touch screen area becomes unresponsive even when everything looks dry. What I do is I lock and wipe entire screen off and retry but same issue.
At house or in office indoors touch has no issues at all.
looks like touch on bright sunlight behaves odd on my phone. Let me go to kernel 1.8.1 and check.
btw, why 1.8.1 is better than 1.8.3 ?

Haahahahah...
Actually what happened..even i did not get the matte for my SGR..
Then i came up with this brilliant idea of using the matte guard of SGS2
Because the screen size is almost the same..everything is JUST THE SAME.
So the shopkeeper used the Matte guard..and just cut off like a tiny bit from the centre button (cuz our centre button is slightly bigger than that of the SGS2)
so you can use SGS2's matte guard It works awesomely No such touch issues faced yet..its been a month now..No matter how wet sticky dirty my hands are

it's not about cleaning the screen.
Something internal is causing it.
Simple lock and unlock end the madness of the screen.

No, its because sometimes there is dirt and oil accumulated on the screen as they may be charged substances they conflict with the capacitive touch screen as the capacitive screen senses a finger wherever there is that charge so cleaning the screen fixes it !

No it's not the case you are saying about. It happens to me also and only when my net connection is on.
Removing dust particles/cleaning doesn't help.
And exactly the point of wildness is in the top right side.

Touchscreen sensitivity

Is there a calibration or some other way to refresh touchscreen sensitivity? I have noticed on several apps that screen touches need more pressure or a "rubbing" touch for the tablet to register the touch.

Haven't heard of anything like it. Sounds to me as if it is time for a factory reset (if you're on stock) or clean install if you are on a custom rom.

I did a factory reset and flashed the latest CROMiX 4.7.0 Just a few days ago. I have had the same problem on both ROMs. Do screen protectors get old in this manner?

I noticed when I had a touch screen protector on I had a terrible time with touch. Removed it after a week. You don't need a screen protector on gorilla glass 2 imo.

That's fully caused by a screen protector messing with the sensors. The TF700 is by far the most sensitive device I've seen. Half the time it detects the touch before I even actually touch the screen.
