Stain on the screen - Nexus 7 General

I have recently discovered a big stain on the top left corner of my 16GB screen. I'm not sure where it came from. I've used it for a few days when I decided to wipe it down with a microfiber cloth to no avail. The stain is on the outside of the glass. It feels rougher than the rest of the glass and especially noticeable when running over it with a stylus. I've also tried to wipe it down with a little bit of water, and noticed it beads differently than the rest of the glass.
Not sure what I can do to remedy this. I just might have to return it to Staples.

If you can simply return it then I wouldn't chance trying to fix it.
Strange problem.

That's what you get for drinking coffee and using your nexus 7.
But seriously though, just return it.

The exact same thing happened to me after a day but in the middle, no idea how to fix it, also have screen lifting though so im getting a new one from Play story haha

does it look like it is just under the surface of the glass or on top of the glass, could be a problem with the glue etc which should be a returnable thing, you could have put something hot on the screen maybe and its done something with the glue?

it's definitely on on top of the glass
the stain is not that noticeable unless you view it from an angle.
i only came across it when I ran my fingers across it and felt the rough area.

Its the oleophobic coating rubbing off. I had this happen with my galaxy nexus.

Thank for the technical explanation!

RMA!

Did you get any kind of solvent or solvent residue on the screen?

Same Staining Issue
Thought it was a smudge. At least Google was quick to remedy the problem.

I have the same problem on mine. Its almost a perfect circle on the lower right hand side of the screen when in portrait mode. That spot was a real grease magnet.
Just cleaned off the screen and put on a screen protector and now it is no longer a problem.

I have the exact same mark/stain on mine, upper right portion, I've decided to live with it. It is identical though.

So a screen protector solved the issue and made your spot unnoticeable? I called ASUS (didn't get mine from the Play Store) and sounds like they're willing to do an RMA. Not sure if I want to go through that hassle though, especially if a screen protector will solve the problem... not sure what I'll get back since I don't have the screen lift or any other issues with it

Bro the trick is when you're watching "Videos" that usually come in Adobe Flash only to aim away from the device....you know coughing and...other......stuff.... J/k rofl glad a screen protector fixed it for ya but there must have been a solvent on the screen or even if you touched something and had residue on your hands that could do it also.

I have the same problem with the perfect circle on the bottom right in portrait mode! Was thinking whether I should request exchange from newegg or Asus. However as per Pixelens comment, my N7 don't have other issues with flickering, screen lift etc. It bothers me only when I switch the screen off and at the correct light reflection.

A different screen issue

I've only had my unit a day and decided to give it a quick clean to remove the finger prints using nothing more that breathing on it and a spectacle cloth. Whilst doing this I found what at first appeared to be 2 finger prints on the left edge of the screen which did not appear to be coming off. I then tried a damp cloth followed by glasses cleaner and then a dab of washing up liquid. None of which seem to have any affect. The strange thing is that you cannot feel them or hardly see them after cleaning but as soon as you run your finger over them the grease from your finger makes them visible like a finger print. Also running a damp cloth over them makes them visible until the moisture evaporates and then they are gone. I have been incredibly careful and know I could not have caused them but was wondering if anyone else has this issue or how I can remove these marks without causing damage as my unit is perfect except for a tiny bit of screen lift which doesn't really bother me.
My Nexus also has a issue like this, but it's like a big smear near the top or the screen. I am 100% sure that I never dropped anything on it
It looks like a big fingerprint mark, but it won't come off.. like your issue
Luckily I'm getting it replaced anyway as the screen lift issue has returned, but I still would have got a replacement anyway due to this new issue.
Sounds like a problem with the anti-finger print coating that's normally used on phone/tablet screens.
I don't think you'll be able to fix it, if you obsess over it and keep trying to clean it off chances are you'll make it worse. Either get over it or exchange it.
Perhaps it's a fingerprint on the underside of the glass. I'm not sure. Hard to tell without pics.
Maybe a screen protector will cover this up. Can you feel it when you run your fingers over it?

Nah it is on top of the screen, you can sorta feel it - it is slippier than the rest of the screen. If I breath on it you can see that it is not affected whereas the rest of the screen goes grey.
I am really careful with plastic screens, but this one is glass. I squirt some Windex on a tissue and use that. Works great - but use at your own risk. Ops problem sounds like a bit of silicone on the glass. Use an appropriate solvent. Squirt nothing at the tablet - use a slightly moist tissue.

I would love for the issue to be silicone but I cannot see where that would have come from.
Unfortunately the most likely option seems to be the coating
So I guess it's time for a return.
Given that I bought it from Tesco Direct is it better to contact Google or deal with Tesco

I also bought mine from Tesco Direct, phoned them up and then sent me a replacement the next day! (this was for the first replacement)
The replacement they sent me now has the screen lift and this screen issue. I phoned them and they said they are out of stock atm, but when it's in stock they will send me another replacement - they also gave me a £20 refund! :laugh:
i have same issue
i applied a sceen protector, had no choice, but no more fingerprint
I called Tesco, replacement will be in store tommorrow

touch problem after removing shatter proof film

I bought xperia z1 two weeks ago.
Yesterday I removed the shatter proof film front and
back but now I have touch issues with the screen
sometimes not respond and always when touch
some point it touches it two or three times like
when iam browsing and want to go to the previous
page when back button touched it brings me to two
previous page.
Then I knew that the glass isn't oleophobic like the
shatter film.
What's the solution for me??!
Please reply

maybe theres still some hidden glue left on the screen give it a good clean
to make sure if theres glue left try to breath on it you'll see if theres odd shapes forming from the condensation i remember that it clearly showed the glue when i did on mine

try windex
I have the exact same problem after removing the anti shatter film.
Has anyone else noticed this? If yes did one of you put another third-party screen protector on your phone afterwards and did this solve the touch-problems ?
Greetz
the problem solved
I put screen protector and touching screen is now ooth and slippery
But it's shame to sony to make their phones not oleophobic screen and put cheap film on the phone that gets scratches easily??
Sony wake up how you didn't notice problem like this??! .
I have touch issues every now and then with the shatter proof film on...
Mostly on the lower half of the screen...
Edit= its scratched up too
And BTW does removing it increase the brightness and/or change the hue of the screen(like the yellow hue most ppl get)

I wonder why you remove asf.....
I'm also having these problems, I just removed ASF because it got some pretty nasty scratches from being in my pocket jeans with no other items (I'm still in shock at how easy it gets damaged). I'm also having issues primarily with the soft keys, it goes all crazy and recognizes multiple touches, seems that other parts of the screen are not affected (I tested this particular area of the screen in landscape mode and seems to have this problem in whatever the area is displaying). No oleophobic screen also noticeable, so my search begins for a good screen protector.
It looks quite amazing without the Sony logo though.
What would compel you to take out the factory shatter proof film from Sony?

Scratchs? I also saw people doing this on Dell 40" LED Screen to improve image quality but you risk to damage the Phone or the Display so I don't know how much is it worth.

As the previous reply said, scratches are probably a good motivator. Sony won't replace the ASF film under warranty and since many people have it scratched, they are probably quite tempted to just remove it..

Not to mention the fact that at least according to Sony, the film is supposed to make the touchscreen more sensitive and accurate, and after removing it, it will be too late to put it back.

Because when I look at my screen in my "flagship" 2013 phone I don't like seeing scratches, what is the point in having a device with FullHd Triluminos display etc etc when I can't enjoy it because of Sony's poor quality ASF..personally I don't know how someone thought of this as a standard, but hey I'm no engineer. By the way I applied a screen protector and everything's back to normal.
I for my part removed the ASF because my phone fell around 30cm on the floor, so almost just tickled it, and took such nasty and heavy scratches from it that it was impossible to keep it that way. Also it had a lot of minor scratches from just keeping it in my pocket.
What I can confirm is, that the touch issues are especially in the lower part of the screen. Also it seems like this problem occurs more often if the phone is "cold", for example if I use it outside.
I hope that this will be fixed software-wise through firmware/app (by better calibrating or smth like that) or trough a 3rd party screen protector.
the winter solved the issue
I removed the screen protector but there's no issues with touch screen
I think the problem is only in summer or hot climate because fingers have alot of oil in this time
what!!

Wow what a strange solution..what made you remove it in the first place? Was there any other change in circumstances that could explain the fix? I'm really interested since the way you explained your problem in the first post was exactly my issue as soon as I removed the ASF.
I'm waiting on 4.3 to even consider removing the screen protector as it cost me a lot of trouble putting it without a single particle of dust/bubbles/alignment. Anyway I live in a place where there's no "winter", it's always hot in here.
Actually it happens more in winter for me... Maybe because of the static electricity I guess... And the Aluminum frame...
Since 4.3 update, touchscreen problem is worse, even with the screen protector it sometimes skips when trying to use Swype keyboard in all situations, with or without case, cold or hot weather, touching the aluminium frame or not..seems to have something to do with oily fingers. Still hoping that a firmware update may correct it.

I do not use swypette but same here, after update the touch screen is worse. I know the sensitivity or the respond of the touch can be modified but at the moment everybody have something else in mind than try to fix this.

Spigen Flex HD - Application

Hi all,
Fitted my Flex HD protector (front and rear, pics below)... Rear fits great height-wise, but a bit short width-wise, not bad in general though... Quite good at applying these protectors and I got it without a single bubble
Front one though was a different story... It was my first ever wet-protector install and I'm not entirely sure about it. The fit is GREAT! Just not sure how well my actual application has gone...
Anyone installed this specific protector on this phone and able to offer any advice on whether the bubbles shown will work themselves out over a few days as it says they should? Doesn't seem to be any dust below, just bubbles
Thanks!
They'll go away. It took mine two days to disappear. the first day I saw a few and tried to move them out and by the second night I couldn't see any bubbles.
you can always take it off and re-install. The pray that comes with it does not work as well as a small bowl of water with a drop of dischwashing soap. Make sure your fingers are good and wet and they with some practice you should be able to get much less bubbles right away. I am a perfectionist and it took me 4 applications to get it perfect. I had zero bubbles as soon as I was done and it took about 1 day for the excess moisture to dry for a perfect application. No hair, dust or bubbles. Surpirsingingly, I really like how this SP feels on the phone, and I always have used tempered glass.
The good thing about a wet application is that you get second chances, unlike glass (at least i my experience)
good luck
Mine looked the same as your's OP, by the end of the night most of the small bubbles were gone. Really hoping the rest of them work themselves out over the next few days. Most comments I've read say they do, so I'm optimistic as I am a perfectionist as well. Can't stand the sight of bubbles or blemishes in my screen protector.

I see the orange peel effect and i have ordered this screen protector does the effect go away over time? is it a matter of stretching as much as possible during application with the card?
Thanks all
It seems that after about 12 hours it is looking a lot better, not quite perfect yet though
I also see now there are a couple of bits of dust (I made the mistake of putting it back down on the sheet after taking it off initially to clean the screen again)... Surprisingly though the bits with the dust aren't the worst bubbles, in fact they're not very visible at all
Will give it a few more days then maybe post some more pics for people to see what it is like
It took mine about a week for all the bubbles to work themselves out, but now that the did I can't even tell I have a screen protector on my phone. Really happy with the front protector!
I'm gonna have to redo it as it has dust from when I put it down
But yes the bubbles in general surprisingly are sorting themselves out
Anyone think their screen looks slightly yellowish hue after installing this? I don't recall how mine looked before so I'm really hoping this is so and it's not my actual screen. If it's my screen then I will be exchanging if because it's quite irritating. And it's perfectly white when I hold the screen at an angle instead of dead on.

I would simply take mine off and determine that way but then I would have no protection afterwords. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

After 2 days, all blemishes and bubbles are gone. I've had several people say they had no idea there was even a screen protector on until I told them. It feels like glass and doesn't have that rubbery feel to it like how some other "wet" application screen protectors feel. I also don't have any discoloration due to the screen protector either. I can honestly say I love how it looks.
I was very skeptical at first since this was my first "wet" application screen protector. I've always used the one and done "dry" application ones. The application process was very nerve racking with all that "solution" on my phone, and trust me I was with everyone else with how my phone looked initially. But after letting it settle for a few days, I can say I'm glad I went with this screen protector that wraps from edge to edge versus going with one that only covered the top of the screen. I highly recommend it to anyone on the fence :good:

YMMV, some people here claim it goes away but I frankly don't believe them. The orange peel effect is there and in full force even after a week. There's even a bubble that will not go away even though there is no dust underneath. I'm returning this one ASAP and I recommend against anyone buying it.

I don't think this is brilliant. Those "bubbles" don't look like they'll disappear. Looks like a defective screen protector. Did these ever go away? Wonder if others had the same problem and it is a result of a faulty batch

Here's my phone with the FlexHD on after 3 days
And I thought I did a good job. You sir are a master at installing liquid install protectors. If I were to place my phone next to yours it would look like ****, although I did install mine in the car, outside of best buy, on my lap, on a rainy day with no light, because I didn't dare put the phone in my phone or any where else for the drive home.
Oh well, good thing it came with 2 protectors. Can always try again.

64GB model. Dead Pixel on bottom right of edge panel.. Very disappointed

I am a Best Buy employee so should be no issue with getting an exchange. Looks like we have one of the 64GB AT&T ones in stock. Gonna be there bright and early to get mine exchanged.
I would advise everyone to keep an eye out.. I actually didn't notice it this morning. Around 6pm I noticed a black part on the screen and thought it was a glitch, so restarted but it was still there.
The line on the right side is just my temporary screen protector film. LOL. I bought an Invisishield and will install it on my replacement device tomorrow.

Did you go with the regular or HD InvisibleShield? I'm not a big fan of their new alcohol swab method for activating the adhesive on the HD model. I ended up using left over spray from several previous InvisibleShield installs.
When I used the alcohol swab provided, it just left lint embedded in he adhesive and I ended up with a bunch between the glass and the screen protector. I saw it before I even began to squeegee, so I broke out the spray and went old school. Turned out perfect after that.
InvisibleShield really screwed up this new application method because it leaves no room for error.

Yeah, thanks for affirming that. I'm pretty sure they did the whole thing as a huge cost saving measure. It damn sure wasn't an improved method to install.
If you compare the savings between the difference in cost for the little plastic liquid spray canisters they provided and the supposed new and improved cheap alcohol swabs, Zagg just made out like a bandit.
Their packaging and marketing keeps getting better and better, but their quality and service keeps getting worse and worse.

No this pic is yesterday morning and is not an invisible shield lol I said I installed after I took the pic. Installed it last night and looks just like yours. How did u do it so perfectly? I think I messed up by not using the squeegee in one motion. I did sections and I think it dried as I was doing it. I have some cloudiness and lint on the bottom. I'll have to get a new one.

I knew as soon as I saw that piece of crap alcohol swap that the new method was flawed. ZAGG has lost their damn minds!!
The whole point behind getting these types of screen protectors on right is to get them and your fingers sprayed down really good. Once both are pretty much soaking, I pinch the protector between my finger and slide off excess fluid which in turn takes the lint/dust with it. Then I spray just a bit more on and apply it. I get it aligned and squeegee. While you are squeegeeing (is that a word?) and you come across a bubble that isn't going away, it isn't a bubble. It's lint/dust. Simply lift the protector at the edge and spray or apply some additional soapy water with your sprayer or fingers and get it out of there. Carefully fold the screen protector back so as to not allow additional lint/dust to get under there while you were dealing with the last one.
I don't try to use the squeegee to get every bubble. I just get most of the water out. Once 90% of it's gone, I work the edges with my fingers and around things like home buttons and camera lenses and sensors.
I guess my point is, even though their new instructions call for the use of the new alcohol swap, the old soapy water trick works perfectly fine. Actually, better.

I don't try to use the squeegee to get every bubble. I just get most of the water out. Once 90% of it's gone, I work the edges with my fingers and around things like home buttons and camera lenses and sensors.
I guess my point is, even though their new instructions call for the use of the new alcohol swap, the old soapy water trick works perfectly fine. Actually, better.

Alright so I'll buy another one tonight and see if that works. Good advice, thanks.
Here is what mine looks like.

Looks pretty good to me. If your trying to get it closer to the edge, all I did was continue to work mine while it was still wet. Just a little at a time while I was working the water out from the center of the screen towards the edge.
Good luck man. Like I said, I think it looks great as it is now.

Got another one and did it again. Lint is gone now but got some micro bubbles. Let's see if it goes away. Not noticeable when screen is on.
Also even with no Zagg. I noticed some screen blemishes. Like it seems cloudy in some parts. I put brightness all the way while I was wiping it down to prepare the Zagg install. It's very noticeable. I may need to get my phone replaced again smh.
That completely sucks to hear about the cloudiness issue. I haven't heard of that one yet. I've heard of the swirls, scratches, and whites appearing yellow issues, but not the cloudiness.
I would lose my mind if I had to take a phone back twice for a screen related issue. It's probably not as big of a deal for you since you can do it while you're at work so to speak, but when your spending a grand on a phone, you just don't expect to have to take it back two times to be replaced.
Switching gears back to the bubbles in the Zagg. If you turn the screen on and they are barely noticeable, but with a slight prism light effect to them, you're fine. They'll dry up and be gone in hours.
If however you turn the screen on and see a shadow, it won't be going away when it's dried.

Yeah the Zagg is good enough for me.
And yeah I can see the cloudiness when scrolling on a white page in Chrome. I really don't want to have to exchange it again but may have to if it is really annoying me over the nextra few days.
It's like gray smudges going diagonally on the glass. I can't tell if its on the actual amoled panel or glass.

Screen lifting

Hi hope someone can offer some advice, I have replaced the screen on my Z3 compact. Screen works fine but it is lifting and not sticking. I have tried different types of tape, I have applied tape to the edge of the screen itself and the frame it's still lifting. Please can someone offer some advice

Any one got any advice, this must be an issue somewhere.

Consider buying a B-7000 glue, it is used for displays mostly, I was advised by a friend to use it, since my screen has unglued as well, and he has already repaired couple of Z3/Z3c devices with it, and there were no reported lifted screens since than. For the back panel, you can use double sided tape, but adding B-7000 glue on one side (to avoid cracking sounds, depending on the used tape probably). You can do a bit of searching on Youtube for repair videos, I recall watching some with the mentioned B-7000 glue, easy to find.
I haven't done it myself, but I will very soon, dust has filled my front cam, and proximity sensor.
Good luck.

I think B7000 will get the job done. I have used it for my device and it has been a month already, screen and back plate haven't moved a bit, its like new. One thing to remember though, you have to make sure the whole frame is COMPLETELY covered with glue, otherwise it will not be enough to hold the screen. I made a mess at first try, because I missed some spots and the screen lifted on sides, next time though, I've checked 3 times for any empty spots and applied glue to those spots, now everything is perfect. Of course, you should cover frame only, avoid applying that much so that glue is dripping inside the phone itself.
Good luck

Gooood,ill give it a shot. But i was thinking if must remove back cover and the screen for glue only a corner...the back cover doesnt have any problem, only the display in left corner is unglued. And if i must to remove thats, i must buy and that adezive black or simple use only b7000 ? Thanks
I have some of the B-7000. Stuck the screen down over a week ago appears to be fine. The only issue I have is that I think the glue has squeezed onto the front camera, the camera is now blurred. I don't use the front one so it's not a big problem.

I have used the glue, it's fine, you don't need stickers
You can try applying the glue only in that corner as well, but I'm not sure how well will that fix the issue.
I had to remove the screen anyway to clean the notification led cutout and front camera, so I didn't care for the back plate sticker.
