Strange screen problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi does anyone else have this problem? If you look at the attached pic's you'll see what looks like pressure on the screen causing it to change colour. It doesn't affect the use of the phone, should I send it back for fixing? Would it be covered by warranty (unlocked boot loader) Or should i just put up with it?

No I don't have this issue and doubt its the unlocked boot loader. I work in a freezer -28c and sometimes mine does this but as soon as it warms up its fine

That's hardware problem. Take it back to sony center.

Try taking the case off. I've seen tight cases do this on a few phones.

Its not the case, still does it without the case. Might take it into the shop see what they say

Mostly yes. Changing new camera lens might be best way. Some say tapping phone gently might get rid of it. U may read thread link i have given. Hope helps.

Mind if I ask how you took the side strips off? I'm going to replace mine soon due to wear and tear, so would like to know how.
EDIT: ok so I found they are glued on, bit of hairdryer and popped off.

Pebble software bugs

I'm having screen composing problems while in menu. It happens very often and it's very annoying.
Any solution?

Try factory resetting and check for new updates. Hasn't happened on mine ever even on low battery.
EDIT: I'll contact a guy at pebble i know see what he can do.
Allready tried factory reset but same problem. Indeed it's more often when low battery but even after charge problem persist.
Just sent an support e-mail to pebble, see what they can do.

Hi!
Could you post that picture on an external site? Would really like to see, if it resembles what my pebble does, but for some reason I've had problems with pictures and files stored on xda (~pictures that appear as thumbnails).
Anyways, what mine does: at random, the text gets a lot smaller and then it's certain, that it's soon going to slow down, then crash, and finally reboot - have had it under a week, I've had only one full charge, but I can't see how long my pebble lasts, because it reboots and that starts the up time counter again. I'd say it does that once every day or two, and when I flash wachfaces, -apps a lot, then more frequently, then also the flashing stops with half a loading bar and says everything is completed, but nothing happend on the pebble
Hope you understand what I meant, as I once again ended up just rambling on and on!
Received a confirmation for replacement few days ago. Le't see...
Sorry no time for other pics now. Will try soon

Same screen problem. I contacted Pebble, filled out the RMA, and they sent me a brand new one that is working flawlessly now.
Oh yeah, this time around, I put on a screen protector

Go to eBay. Search for "pebble watch screen protector".
I've had most luck with ones marked xtremeguard or sshieldz, but even those tend to peel at the corners after a month or so.
Avoid any that only cover the square screen part of the face.
Be cautious about the colored/textured ones. Some of them only cover the colored part and leave the screen unprotected.

Was your phone rooted? Because I have the same issue and I don't want to relock my phone.

Dust under scree

Hello everybody,
A few months ago I noticed a few specks of dust under my screen. Today I noticed that it was much more than it was before.
I saw on youtube there was a way to disassembly this phone (with unscrew screws and stuff) but I thought that is way to risky with putting it back.
Now I'm wondering, is there a easy way remove the screen (without rescrewing)
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Same here. 3 points of dust. I repair phones at my work, but our lg is really tricky. I can live with the dust.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Me too
Gesendet von meinem A210 mit Tapatalk
How do you expect to take the phone and screen apart without unscrewing it? If you are semi-competent it is an easy enough task - I did it with no problems at all.
I thought there might be a way to do it by heat the screen with a hairdryer or something
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
You should take it to some repair service it will be not that much expensive since its not a repair its cleaning and they will take your screen off them will use new glue which probably will prevent dust going under the screen. Here in my country the procedure will cost arround 10-20 Euro.
That's a good idea

I suspect you're dutch like me, so would you be so kind to let me (or us) know what they charge you?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Indeed, I'm Dutch. I'm just 16 years old so I don't have much income. Currently I'm saving for a new television.
I think that when I bought my television, I'll let "them" clean my screen and tell what they charged me.

Student here, so not much to spend either.. I do take apart phones from time to time, but as maus01 said, our 4x is kinda tricky..
