Hi,
I notice that when I touch the screen I see strange colors- like rainbow bubbles under the screen.
Is it normal or not? if you touch your screen, do you also see like rainbow distortions on it - like oil spots? (newton rings)
Do you suggest me to ignore it or take it to LG and ask them to replace/fix it?(my phone is 7 months old)
that is a normal thing, but you shouldn't be pressing like that the screen :/
it's Liquid Cristal Display = LCD so it is normal to see those colors when screen is pressed, but stop pushing it XD you can damage the screen

Lol, thanks for the information, I thought this way but wasn't sure.
but what if I also see those strange colors even when I press not very strong on the screen but normal+ ? Should I take my phone to repair? (it's free for me, lol)
I think so, it might be a defective LCD, and if its free you should do it... I mean it's somehow normal [because of the liquid cristal] but if that happens whit normal pressure then is not that normal...
Maybe the gorilla glass (the one you touch, not the LCD) is softer/looser than normal and not rigid enough... I noticed a softer/thinner Gorilla Glass on the Black than other devices.. Quite annoying sometimes, it makes the device feel fragile or cheap XD

Did someone also notice that when applying little pressure to the screen, like an oil spot appears and in some spots the screen feels flexible when touching it a bit stronger?
It looks like this: (It happens only when I touch the screen a bit stronger than normal)

Mm it does happen but not that large and when it happens it gets back to normal quite instantly.. Could be a counterfeit OB lol... I always knew that the Gorilla Glass was not normal on OBs.. you should go to an LG service or somwthing like this to get it checked.. It shouldn't be like that, at least wheb applying a small pressure

Ok, thanks for replying, now I know that my OB is not the only one with this defect.
I already sent my OB to repair when it had other problems in the screen and they didn't replace it with a new OB
now I'm going to send it again to my Cell provider and I'll ask them to replace my defective OB under LG's manufacturer Warranty.
Any ideas how to convince them to replace my defective OB with a new one and not only replace the digitizer or lcd screen?

Hi,
I found the specific name of this phenomenon: newton rings
there are many threads in XDA about this phenomenon but no one about OB.
It appears only when I touch the screen, (maybe it's because I always keep my phone in the pocket.)
It looks like that:
Is my LG Optimus Black defective or it's normal?

It's important to me to know if my device is defective or is it a normal phenomenon with OB?

This is only what I think, but to be honest I feel that's not normal, I mean even if I press really hard my phone's screen it doesn't look like that not even close to that, I think you should send it to techs
DO NOT complicate this with the screen separation issue, my device does not have this issue.
When on a black screen when pressing the devices screen, it does not have to be hard just medium, the screen will flex causing the display below to ripple. It reminds me of the HTC One X screen flex issue at the top ends of the device where it was curved.
I have made a video showing my findings, I know at times it looks like I'm pressing extremely hard on the screen, I'm not its just because I was on a soft surface and so the device pushed into the bed. :angel:
Oh and your probably better watching it in full screen, just watched it embedded on here myself and it's hard to see
It's a TOUCH screen not a PRESS screen. Be gentle... you meanie!
I saw what you meant once in that video, but it did look like you pressed pretty hard. I tried to replicate it to no avail. Sorry.

I know I know, honestly though I promise you I was not pressing hard. Honest truth I noticed this issue because I held the device with one hand, and I was NOT pushing hard.
I've noticed this minor issue on mine, but on the left hand side of the screen. Doesn't bother me too much.
It probably happens because your device has the screen lift too? or the screws are loose.
As before I did the washer trick my screen also did this on the left side only, it was spongy too, once I did the washer trick it didn't do it again. :good:

Yeah I don't really see it as an issue, as long as my device works that's all I'm bothered about and I mainly use my iPad anyway.

Hmm, well the screen doesn't appear to be raised ANYWHERE and I only just got it yesterday (14th August).
My second/current one does this. But only on the left side. If you press on the black bezel around the screen on the bottom third. You'll get the ripple. Nowhere else though. And you have to press it pretty hard. It's not an issue.
No screen lift on this one. Screen lift was replaced by this ripple. That's actually how I noticed it, checking my new one for seperation, and spongy feel. Which it doesn't have.
Isn't this just a trait of LCD screens?
My One X has the same thing and has a Super LCD screen.

LCD is the screen itself, it is a trait however the bezel and glass should stop this from happening, because obviously if this happens a lot, then device is going to be damaged

Yeah. If you see ripples, you are applying excessive pressure to the screen. This is standard for any LCD, not an issue.

Well said. Not an issue.
Yeah, I'm saying that because my old laptops did the same thing when you touched the screen. Not a issue...
Phones have Glass over the screen. You don't actually touch the LCD. You have the LCD, then the digitizer, then the glass. So I think this is because the LCD is too close to the digitizer because of the screw issue. I had screen separation issues on the left side and this ripple. I made some "washers" using some medication foil packaging (3x) and not only did it fix the screen issue, but the screws are nice and tight (fixes squeaks) and pulls the screen down away from the digitizer so you don't get this effect.
Mine USED to do this (mostly on the left side) but now it doesn't after I put in those "washers". The bottom left is more sensitive still but requires lots of pressure still. If you press hard enough on the screen the LCD will still ripple.
RMA and chill.
I'm sorry but these threads are getting tiring now.

Mine is mainly on the left side as well, its actually quire hard to recreate it on the right, though its possible. I'd just like to assure readers that I am not using excessive force on the screen at all, not even close. As I said, I can recreate this just by holding the tablet with one hand!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
wow, this has to be the biggest non issue for the nexus. it's a LCD if you press that hard of course the screen will ripple. yes the top is glass, but the nexus 7 screen uses a new process with less layers of glass to minimize thickness.
Do you have a laptop or lcd monitor? Press on the screen and see what happens.
OP you are pushing way too hard to simulate normal usage. The screen is covered in thin glass not bullet proof glass and if you push to hard it will flex and distort the black light and cause ripples.
Seriously this is a non issue.

Yeh I got ripples if pushing to hard but had the common sense to understand this is not a fault its LDC my old omnia phone does it.

HAVE ANYONE FOUND A FIX!?!?!?!
when i apply a little bit of pressure on the back glass, (for example for cleaning the glass) its start to make sounds, like clicking sounds, on the front it does not happen, just in the back, the sound is like when you have a door and you need to oil the hinges.... is it normal ??
another thing, when i apply pressure on the sony logo, its like you can bend it to touch the battery inside.. does that happen to you too ??
I'm super dissapointed so far from the build quality, i got a faulty screen (white horzintal hue on the bottom + few dead pixels) and now that cracking noise!
anyone else with the same problem? or is it normal ?

In my case probably I will solve with a fix from the update, but in your case, you will never fix it so if the phone is new with warranty, go now for a replacement, specially for the hue and dead pixels, maybe your are lucky and they will give you another device.

No, mine seem fine, maybe the only thing about I can't complain, but if you go via warranty and there is a lot to replace and also you will tell them about the back cover as well maybe they give you a new device without all this problems, and I am 99% sure this kind of device will be replaced with another one for you because they don't have so much time to open it all and replace the lcd, maybe but too much work, is not worth for them.
Go ask for a warranty replacement. My phone was replaced under warranty for the same white horizontal hue on the bottom of the screen/exactly where the soft keys are.
The new phone i got, has no problem whatsoever.

thank you guys!
i have the same exact problem as you with my screen! will they replace the screen or my unit?
and how much would that take them?
Cracked my screen, don't have a warranty
I was thinking of ordering the display myself and replace the screen in a mobile shop by an expert
problem is, which display to order?
for example:
http://www.witrigs.com/oem-complete...rts-for-sony-xperia-z1-black#customerreviews1
http://www.etradesupply.com/sony-xperia-z1-l39h-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
30$ difference in price? what gives? also do i have to buy the lcd glass or it comes with screens listed above?
i know sony makes Z1 with several different types of display, how to know which one is the one with better viewing angles or the one without the yellow hue?
i am using C6903 - display is cracked at the top near the notification light and screen doesnt register touches in the upper area (i cant pull the notification menu down)
tnx

Hi everyone,
I got my Z3 compact a week ago and all is good, but I just noticed something weird on the edge of the screen, it's like there's a wire or something popping out in the gap between the screen and the frame. This got me wondering if there might be a problem with the water resistance, what do you guys think?
The device is brand new and didn't suffer from any drops or any weird maneuvers, didn't even been tried in water.
Thanks and have a good day.

looks like a misplaced gasket... try the pressure sensor in test mode, open dialer and digit *#*#7378423#*#*, then service tests and pressure sensor... push oh the screen, if the pressure doesn't change even a little bit, your phone is not waterproof and needs to be sent for repair
p.s. when I say push, I mean apply a reasonable force to the screen, not crack it.. if it really is a misplaced gasket, the pressure will be steady.. if not, you'll notice continuous micro-variations in pressure as you hold the phone in your hand
Actually it rises by 3 or 4 millibars and drops back (to lower value than the original) in two or three seconds.. This means it's intact I guess?

I have the same problem with my z3 compact. But it's on the opposite side where yours have occurred. I don't know how much it would cost to get it fixed but I assume it would be a little expensive because I do think they have to replace the whole front LCD+Digitizer that comes with it's own adhesive.
But I'm not bothered about it at all because even when it was still intact, I said to myself that I would never put or drop this phone on the pool or water. I bought myself a protector just incase I want to take underwater pictures.
yes, it seems so.
But if you've just bought it, I'd return it anyway and buy another
Did it happen just like that or was it there since you bought the phone?
I agree with you, not gonna expose it to water, but still it sucks that you have a water resistant phone and you worry about water.

Thanks, I bought it without Sony's garantie because it costs extra, so I don't think they will exchange it. I'm going to keep it since everything else is fine.

That does not sound right. The manufacturer's warranty should cover defective products. You have to pay extra for that? Mine was repaired under warranty (for a different problem) without paying extra for a warranty.
To me it's seem that the screen is a bit high too on the angle, in mine the glass is parallel or maybe a bit lower compared to the frame, yours seems like the glass is higher compared to the frame, how much is the value of millibar?? 10k+ about??

I'm in France and the system of warranty is terrible , they just cover major dysfunctions of the phone (touchscreen not working, defective camera..), when I asked the store about this today they said it's probably some manufacturer installed tool to help open up the phone in case of repair!! could it actually be this??

Actually that's just the protective tempered glass I installed
The value of pressure was around 1004 since I got the phone, today I found it to be 994 but still responding to pressure. Is this normal?

Oh, I see.
No, that is not something to help open the phone. If it were, they would all have it.
It's only been a week, the store should easily be able to exchange it for you. If not, Sony will.
