Huawei Mediapad M5 -curved screen - Huawei MediaPad M5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi so ive purchased a 2nd hand M5 tablet . 10.8 it looks good , but im confused and concerned .
im aware this as a 2d glass , so the edges curve into the bezel , but my purchase seems to have a slit curve throughout the display , almost like it curves inwards in the centre , like a curved TV .
so the edges as per attached photos are slightly higher than the centre of the tablet... see attched
theres no creaks cracks damage nothing so is this how its designed .? View attachment 4793429

Nope. It looks like the body of the tablet is slightly bent away from the glass screen. They should be completely flush with no gap.
Someone might have disassembled that tablet for some reason or it was damaged in some other way.

P3600 Full Body InvisibleShield finally available

Figures they'd come out with it a week before I'm thinking of picking up an Imate Ultimate 8150. But it's out for those of you interested link below.
P3600 Full Body Invisible Shield
http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/HTCP3600I.html
Nice!! It's listed for the P3600i, but I guess it's exactly the same as the P3600.
Anybody tried it already?? Better than a regular silicon cover?
How does this work?
If it is stretched all over the PDA, how is it joined/sealed? What about removing the batter cover or using the thumb wheel? Is it fixed like cling-film?
Also, the screen is recessed from the surround so if it is stretched around the housing and screen, then there would seem to be a gap between the screen and this cover, so what will the sensitivity of the screen be like?

If you followed the link and watched the installation video showing it being applied to an ipod you wouldn't have asked.........suggest you try that first.

looks like it would be a least 3 pieces - one for the screen, then one for the keys, and one for the back - which does not protect the sides. And the video doesn't show how it fits on the phone, it shows how it fits on the front of a ipod - so don't be a smart a*s. He was asking how it fits on this phone not an ipod dumb a*s.

Get life....yes the clip shows it being fitted to an ipod......if you gothered to watch the clip you would have seen that the piece for the back also does the sides as they wrap around.....apart from the size etc the actual method of applying this will be the same.
Next time smart a*s do your homework rather than mouthing off.
Oh yes all my questions answered if only I had watched the ipod video.
Now All I need is an m700 that is exactly the same shape as an ipod, with all the buttons in the same place, with a flush screen, and well, all very ipodish, and then it will all be clear.
So this will be no more than a screen protector on the PDA. It will not protect the buttons or lower raised section of the housing. Also won't protect the sides (too many buttons), and it seems that the tight curves will be a problem for this cover. I can see this peeling off the m700 in a very short time
If you know so much about it, then can you explain how it will work with a recessed screen? Will I be able to tap it all over with a key and not damage the phone, and if I throw it in a box of coins, will all the phone be safe from scratches and chips - just like the ipod?

Lets get this straight....I haven't used this product...however when I saw the "link" I went to the manufacturers site to get a better understanding of it....
I watched the video and while it was of it being fitted to an ipod I got a basic understanding of how it could be fitted to a P3600i.
I didn't think it was "cling wrap", I understood that there would be several sections involved....including one for the recessed screen (yes, just like a normal screen protector) and I too would be skeptical of it protecting all parts of the phone.
There is a tendency in these forums for people to not search out information but to ask seemingly dumb questions.....
As this product is new for this model....why not just ask if anyone has tried it or ask the manufacturer for more information.....or is that too hard to do????
NOT FULL BODY...JUST SCREEN ONLY
The site says full body not Screen only, that's a separate option...
I would really like to know if and how exactly this works on 3600.
I actually have silicon case and screen protector for mine, but this would make it considerably smaller...
Bought and use the InvisibleShield
Folks,
I bought it and had it send to Holland. Took about 1 to 2 weeks but ok I am not in a hurry.
The full body covers basically all the shiny black plastic plus the screen. The rest (middles of the sides and the front keys) are not covered. Also offcourse the camera, speakers etc are not covered. However, and this is probably the difference between P3600 and P3600i the front camara is covered by the shield blurring the image. Now I have already put it on the camera but the next time I would use a hole puncher to add the extra hole. I probably will use a sharp hobby knife to cut an extra hole (on the other hand I never use video conferencing).
The plastic is more stronger and thicker then normal screen protectors. Haven't tried to scratch it on pupose and guess what I am not going to do it. If a scratch forms by accident I will mention it here.
The screen takes some getting used to with the new cover. The plastic does not "slide" as easy as the original screen protector or the screen itself. Maybe this is just in the first period.
The application process it pretty easy if you just take the time. Takes about 30 minutes if you do it slowly. Only 2 minor bubbles on the back but those are not really an issue, the rest is perfect.
Hey for 20 euro's I think it is a good deal. No horrible rubber case or GPS blocking metal case for me anymore. Only downside is that if the phone is dropped now there is no protection. This is only against scratches.
Lifetime guarantee so lets see how often I have to send it back.
All in all recommended so far (but that is just after 1 day of use)
I want to see it
Post a picture please
Isn't it invisible?..
See the invisible sheet
Well actually it is quit difficult to see but here are some picures. The picture from the side shows you some edges.
Edges
The edges that you can see in the pic don't seem to line up perfectly, how were the dimensions on the rest of the edges?
i've been thinkin of getting one of these since i saw them for ipods but that messy edge is scaring me away a little, also how are you finding the screen protector after a little more use?
Edges reply
Well the edges are more because of my talent I think. The reason why I showed you this is because at least you can see something. For the rest it alligns perfectly.
After using it for a while it still seems a great product. I accidentaly dropped the thing but no scratch at all. What you do notice is the slightly more pressure you need when using the stylo. Also the screen protector is not as smooth as the original screen making the sliding a little more difficult. Also the plastic sticks to your ear while calling. But all in all still recommended.
I just put it onto the white one...
...and it is invisible. You can see it only on buttons' silver surrounding, on white parts only the edges are visible if you try really hard. I haven't got a good enough camera to show it, sorry.
It has a sticky feeling about it (maybe needs to dry more?). I don't like it on the screen - feels sticky and thick. I'd say use a decent screen protector instead.
It came WITH the cut-out for a camera (it's 3600i shield, I've got 3600), so it fits like a glove.
Oh, it's not a stress-free, low pressure 15 minutes application like they advertise it. It's fekkin pain in the ar$e one hour job, you're swetting your ar$e off. And - I guess - you can never get it perfect at the end. There will always be a bubble or misaligned edge somewhere (or is it me?).
Long term use review to follow.

Same question for you... Any updates? Thank you...
Definately recommended
After using it a few months I still think it is definately worth the few euro's. Ok it sticks a bit when calling for a long time and I think I even managed to get a small scratch on it but I sort of abuse the fact that I have the shield. Store it with keys, never use a case etc.
No I have bought some useless accessoires such as aluminium case (blocks GPS) and the remote for mediaplayer but the shield I would really recommend.
Cheers,
Dimitri.

[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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
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.

Z5 Frame Corner Housing Replacement

Hello.
Has some of you replaced the original corners? I'm really thinking about doing it since the one at the top left got damaged and it looks very bad, haha.
I may buy them from Witrigs, since I have already bought from there.
What I'm a little worried about is: is it safe and easy to change those parts by myself? And will I lose water resistance?

Mine too is slightly dented/damage (same as yours, top left corner), and I was wondering the same... Does replacing that teflon corner affects the phone (water resistance) ?
Based on this video:
, water resistance might not be affected. The corners seem to be on top of a kind of internal frame
I guess we'll find out soon enough how it went and how it looks like once replaced. Doesn't look too difficult though judging by the video you posted, as long as you have some basic manual skills

I will implement same thing I bought one piece middle frame corner from Aliexpress. I wanna ask that will this process damage water resistance of phone or not?

I am wondering why the top left corner of Xperia Z5 is so sensitive and weak. Now my phone is very ugly while seeing from left side.
Not sure if Sony Warranty can replace it, of course with additional fees.
Quick heads up. I don't have my Z5 anymore (gave it to my fiancée and got a S7 Edge), but I managed to repair the corner.
It requires patience and precision, but it's quite easy
I removed the damaged corner using a hair dryer and a pair of very thin long nose pliers. The glue became very soft and the corner came easily. I then used lighter fluid to clean the remaining glue and stuck the new corner with 2 droplets of crazy glue.
Looks like new now! Just don't overheat the phone with the hair dryer, and make sure you don't blow hot air directly on the display. I will post pics if you want.

looking for a new bezel and back housing for the note pro

Hi,
So i bought a used Note pro and is rly nice but it has a damaged back Cover and bezel (the silver lining around the tablet ). I know from taking it apart that you can just swap out the hole thing. Problem is i can only find the black backcover but not the bezel. Maybe someone here has a hint where to get what i need?
EDIT: Just watched a video. It seems the pro is built differently than the 10.1 2014. They glued the screen to the bezel. That makes it near to impossible to just change the bezel. I'll have to live with a broken bezel then....

Some little superficial damage even on my used p-905. Though I paid 220 € with shipment, not disappointed. I was asking myself the same question about the bezel: thank you for saving my time! If you have like tiny scratches on the screen too consider applying official Samsung screen protector, it's perfectly trimmed and high quality (it hides moderate screen damages perfectly) and doesn't alter the feeling when drawing with pen which for me is a total must.

Note10+ (Top screen gap / space)

Hello,
Received my Note10+ yesterday, so far love the device.
I just noticed today (this morning) on bright sun / light a gap of couple of millimeters on top of the screen.
Looks like screen is not going to the edge on top side only, is this normal?
Image / full size:
https://screens.urimage.link/20190830_074945.jpg
Please see image for better view / understanding.
Thanks
that gap is for the sensors and speaker
Thank you very much for your time and responding to this thread.
I am a little bit confused, isnt the speaker at the bottom?
I had Samsung S10+ until yesterday, and i do not remember seeing gap like this (its not the same phone, but, probably similar design / i might be wrong though).
Thank you
The gap in the middle 2 arrows are the cut out for the front speaker the other gaps are where the screen meets the frame sometime there bigger on different phones its hut and miss
But if it bothers you exchange it for one that fits a bit better
Thank you very much for responding.
I think i have 15 days to replace / return the phone (i will re-check), but, if its kinda normal, and possible on any other phone, even replacement, i do not think its wise to do it.
Once i put case on, i do not even think it will be that visible (hardly visible now as well if not on bright light).
Biggest concern if this would affect IP68 in anyway
Thanks

I think there is a way you can test the ip rating without obviously putting it in water
Back when I had the xperia phones you could squeeze the device and check the pressure didn't rise and stay risen to indicate its water tight
Thank you again for your time.
I decided to test that gap by pouring water on it for about 20-30 seconds, no issues at all.
I will not bother with this, will just enjoy the phone.
Thanks again.
The picture link is not working. From my understanding the only small gap should be in the center where the top speaker hole is. But the left and right side of the top speaker till the corner should not have any gap. I am having the same issue. I'm going to check to see if other models are like that.
Same, should not be there.
In the end i decided to return the phone.
Upon closer inspections took some photos and judging by other demo units on display. They all have that white line gap. Some are more noticable than others. But same line can be seen. I compared 3 different phones from different stores. They all exist. It's seems like that white line looks like maybe it's the adhesive glue. The middle does not have it where the ear speaker cutout is, where the ear speaker hole ends on both side left and right white line is visible because of the extra gap on both sides and it appears that the line stops before the corner on each side of the glass on the top. It's maybe nitpicking buts it's really annoying. I checked on the S10 it's not present on that model and none I see on the Note 9 too. I checked. And since it's like white color can be visible inside the small gap line on the top where the glass meets up with the metal frame.
I actually just discovered that I can get a piece of paper down between the top of the screen and the frame on my Note 10 +!!!??? All along the top of the glass - from the top left corner to the right?
Is this what you are talking about? And will the phone still be waterproof? (There could still be a rubber membrane that prevents water from entering the insides of the phone...)
