Hey guys, I got my Nexus One earlier this week, and I love it so far, but I have some issues with my screen.
There seems to be a checkerboard kind of print on it. I can't really explain it any better than that. At first I thought it was maybe residue from the plastic wrapping it came in, but after a week and some thorough cleaning, it's still there.
It appears to be finger grease, which indicates that there's a problem with the glass. After cleaning it with a microfiber cloth, the pattern is gone (or at least extremely hard to see), but after some use, it becomes clearly visible again. To me, this says there's extremely small deviations in the glass, which finger grease gets stuck in where it isn't removed by a quick wipe down. To further support this theory, the screen seems more rough swiping top to bottom, than bottom to top, which would make sense given the pattern.
Edit: After thoroughly cleaning the screen, the breathing on it (like a window), my breath makes the pattern clearly visible. Though, this doesn't really confirm anything.
Has anyone else had or seen this issue? Any recommendations on fixing it, or should I be calling up HTC?
I'll try to take a picture when I get home from work, but I doubt it'll be visible. My only other camera is an iPhone.
I think what you see is the digitizer. It is barely visible but you can see it on every touchscreen phone

Not to be one of those guys, but I never saw the digitizer on my iPhones, until I got my Nexus One. Had a moment of uh, my phone's screen is really going to be like that? until I realized what it was, and now I only notice it at an angle in bright light.
You are right, with you can see it I meant just in theory.
I saw it the first time on an n1 too, but only once or twice, but never saw it again since it is so barely visible

Yeah, I definitely knew what you meant. Just wanted to throw that out there.
It kind of sounds like your phone is suffering some form of Newton rings. In the phone world its when the front screen presses on the digitizer and creates light refraction, thus looking like oil swirls. My HTC fuze suffered this horribly and it gets worse over time as far as touch sensitivity goes. I would recommend calling HTC. My nexus doesn't have this issue at all.
I am wondering now if the shipping nexus ones have the LCD screens instead of amoled because of the shortage in amoled screens though.

I don't believe I'm seeing the digitizer. This is on the glass, not the display itself. It's visible on the bezel around the screen as well. I'll try to take a picture when I get home from work.
Edit: to be clear, it covers the entire front glass, over the display and the bezel, and is clearly visible even with the display on.
Strange issue. Never saw this when I purchased mine, though that's probably because I was excited to turn it on rather than inspect the body.
I think it probably has to with the adhesive material between the digitizer and the display not completely curing. When it does cure you don't see it very well but when you use the phone and it heats up the pattern comes back. At least that's my theory.

Took some pictures. For the sake of size, I'll link them.
Full screen, off
Screen edge, off
Screen edge, on
These are pretty accurate, in terms of what daily usage is like. The full screen one might be a bit much, I had to hand print it up to get it to show in the picture, but the one with with the display on is pretty much what using it (indoors) is like.
I've seen that sometimes on my phone, but it's not nearly as often as it seems to be with yours. Not sure what that is then.
I had a problem with my screen that can only be described as similar. One of the replacement Nexus Ones I received had an incomplete oleophobic coating where the entire bottom 1/4th of the screen would be very clear and the top would get cloudy after light use. There were also a few circles just like the bottom of the phone on the upper portion as well.
I called HTC and they just replaced it for me. Sounds like you should do the same.
Whoa, those look like the glass was machined improperly or that the adhesive issue I hypothesized about earlier could be the culprit.
Contact HTC or Google at 1-888-48-NEXUS (63987).

Thanks! Just got off the phone, they're going to replace it. Also, I can't believe how friendly/helpful they were. I'm extremely impressed.

Same here, they're extremely nice.
I wanted to get a replacement battery since mine has short battery life and constantly overheats, so they forwarded me to HTC but unfortunately for some reason they didn't have my IMEI or S/N on their records, so I couldn't do anything.
I want to re-glue the loose bezel
Never mind i figured it out. A lot easier than TF700.
If anyone need help on How-To, post below or PM.

Move slowly in every step
alright first, power off tablet
locate the two screws, one in each docking port ( be careful of the screws they are very tiny ) ONLY TWO SCREWS TOTAL
use the screwdriver to push towards the glass from inside the docking port. ( be careful, push slowly the glass is only held down with plastic clip )
Use prying tool to lift up the glass, focus on the area thats loose.
apply a thin layer of glue ( i used Krazy glue ) to the glass edge
push glass back in place and screw the screws back
I should have taken pictures

Sorry, no, I had to send the third one back to because a loud crack is to be heard when softly whincing the tablet. I'm not going to repair faulty devices on my own as long as there is warranty.
Now I wait for the next charge of TF701 (newer than 11.2013) to see if Asus has addressed this problem.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I have no idea how to seperate the lcd from the digitizer. My problem is much worse than a lose bezel. The tablet fell and well..shattered. Digitizer is gone but LCD is ok. So I found on ebay a digitizer on it's own but before buying it, I want to first know how to seperate the LCD so I can reuse it.
Attached is the disassembled LCD + Digitizer.
I got to this part but can't figure out how to take out the LCD. I don't know if you can see, but there are like plastic clips all around the LCD. How do I take it out? I am not even sure if it is taped or not at this point. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
There are a couple of good videos on YouTube about screen replacement on the TF300 and 700 - which are basically the same. One is by FixPhone Land, the other by AJ parts UK. The latter is the better one IMO.

I got to the part where I have the glass/digitizer/lcd bit in my hand but I will not go through the effort of seperating the glass from the digitizer. A new digitizer and glass will cost €105 with shipping, and I do not think it is worth repairing. I will assemble it and sell it as broken for parts.
Thanks anyway.
Haven't found this anywhere else, so posting.
There is dust under my screen. I don't know how it got there, but I know it hasn't always been there, and I know it's not a dead pixel, because its clearly grey, even when the screen is off. Should I get a replacement? I'm reluctant to be without the phone for almost a week. Any suggestions for removal? I don't want to damage the phone any more.
This is very odd, and I expected better of a Motorola device. I wonder if the screen is glued on, or if there is a layer between the screen and the body of the phone.
Thanks,

From ifixit:
"The digitizer is fused to the display, increasing repair costs for a cracked screen, but it is easy to get to the bare display assembly."

Its an samoled display, which is distinct from a regular amoled display in that the digitizer is GLUED to the actual display. What you are describing does not sound possible.
My back cover for the Nexus 6 seems unevenly glued, the top left corner has a slightly bigger gap in between the metal frame compared to the rest of the panel. I am afraid the back cover would peel off over time. Is this an indication of the peeling back covers users reported a while back? Thanks in advance.

The problem with RMA is that this phone was given to me as a gift. It was bought in another country through Amazon, so I'm not sure how RMA would work. I would prefer not to RMA if I don't have to. Do you think it is expanding more?

None if Amazon will take it back and it not past the return window. If past the return window has to be fixed under Moto warranty.

Ok Gotcha! I believe I am still in the return window, however, the phone was bought from Amazon in another country, not sure if they would do much. Hopefully Motorola will offer something. Now that I inspect the phone, it appears if the panel is fully glued to the aluminum frame, there gaps here and there. I would have thought Motorola fixed this issue in production, since it was reported long ago.

Hi All,
I also experience the touch screen issue on my Galaxy S20 FE.
I have created a short video on how to check and reproduce it: Galaxy S20FE touch screen issue - testing and reproducing
Please share your comments if you also experience it.

Yes, if you don't experience this, you unit is issue-free. I have also asked others to test, they have no issue at all.
This is why I think that *might* be a hardware/production issue.

Yes, that's what it would seem to suggest - and it's discouraging, I was really hoping this was a software issue. Would the 120 Hz refresh be a factor in this? That is, do you get the same result at 60 Hz?

Nothing. Either under charging or not, either 60Hz or 120Hz, no matter if Touch Sensitivity is set to low or high, it happens.
But as it doesn't happen for everyone with the same software, it tends to be a hardware issue or a production defect.

Thanks for the feedback. It seems not all users are having this issue. If you cannot reproduce the issue following the video instructions, then you are touch error-free. But then, it shows that it is not a general issue, but some manufacturing defect. For the red tint, I have seen your other post, I also have a barely visible greenish one, around where the camera is, and around the bottom 1/3 mark. But as it was stated, it is somewhat "normal".

Good question. I spoke with Samsung Support and they wanted me to visit the Service Center. I told them that I will not spend that much time on it, this phone is too expensive for having this kind of support. I will just return it and ask for a refund, then wait 1-2 months if the problem is solved.
I was just thinking yesterday...
This phone has Gorilla Glass 3 on the display, which is a way different structure than current GG6 (or GG4). GG3 is much thicker and more acts like a glass (breaks easier). Since GG4, newer Gorilla Glasses are more flexible, thinner, and more durable, too.
What if Samsung has just put a thick glass on top of a modern digitizer (touch panel) which was designed for a different structure and much thinner glass layer, and this causes the touch problems?

I notice it under normal circumstances like browsing, while straight looking at it, when the page background is like pale yellow/orange. It is only a bit visible, but when you read text and scroll, it is disturbing that the greenish tint remains on the screen. But honestly, this is not that bad. On a white background, I don't even notice it.
When I look from a bottom angle and moving the phone's angle, the tint bars move as well.

You mean are referring to the green tint correct? Are you saying that you have no reddish/pink tint at all on your phone?
I notice it very clearly when looking at it at angle or even normal position. And I can see it move when I move the phone to different positions.
the XDA review has the same issue actually (nothing on the touchscreen): https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-fe-review/
"The viewing angles, though, are disappointing because the display still features visible angular color shifting to blue as well as a rainbow out interference effect at extreme angles. Newer Samsung OLED panels have eliminated the rainbow out interference effect, and also reduced off-axis color shifting by a significant amount. The Galaxy S20+’s viewing angles, for example, are much better because the color shifting is much lower. Strangely, even the cheaper Galaxy M51 (review) doesn’t feature the interference effect issue (that is likely caused by the polarizer)."

EU. I bought the phone in the official German Samsung webshop. If I would be out of the return period, I would of course take it to the Service Center even with the red tint, but this way, I will just return it.

I read the quoted article. This can also easily happen because of Gorilla Glass 3, maybe it has different inner reflection that causes these bands.

That sounds reasonable...however, what about all the phones using GG5, 6, or above that have a tempered glass screen protector on them, which would certainly make the glass atop the digitizer much thicker, and that do NOT have any touch issues? It seems to me that the thickness of the glass...up to a reasonable measure that I do not know what it may be...is not the issue here because my S20 FE does not have the touch issues. But mine does always turn on in my pocket. So it seems as if the proximity sensor is faulty. I wonder if this "bug" is somehow related to the touch issues. Though they appear to be different problems...they are related to how the screen works. Clearly something is wrong and I am not sure that any of it can be fixed with software. SMH

You are right, I also thought of it, but not only the thickness, but also the material structure can cause problems like transferring more static electricity to the digitizer that cause ghost touches. And the glass screen protector is on top of the screen which is far enough in distance from the digitizer. I can also imagine that combining this digitizer with GG3 would require less manufacturing tolerance than they used, and that causes just too much defective units. Just guessing...
But as you also stated, problems are mostly with the screen and touch panel. Ghost touches, incorrect finger recognition causing jerks, pocket wakeup, reddish/greenish tint on the screen. And +1: not all users have this problem.
If this would be a software-related issue, all models would be affected more or less. If some units are fine, some are wrong, with the exact same software, then it should be a hardware-related problem. Question: do they used different brand of digitizers for different units, or there is just a huge ratio of defective units coming out of the factory because they had to put as many units on sale as they could because Pixel 5 and iPhone 12 has arrived and they wanted to catch a lot of customers? Just guessing, again...

If watching from bottom angle, I see the bands, but in straight view, I only see some greenish tint. It is not very disturbing for me. I mean, I have a LED TV, which has some of these typical IPS clouding effect on the screen edges. 99% of the time, it is not visible because the content is bright. But when watching a movie that has a night scene and there is no ambient light in the room, it is awful. But in general, I like the TV

Interesting, thank you for the response. I see the red tint straight on and at angles too, so maybe we have a similar issue but a different color?
I also have a LG OLED, which can look quite bad in some very dark scenes because of banding.
