I saw people selling them separately so if those spots doesnt affect much it will save me alot of money

It wouldn't spread unless you apply a lot of pressure. If you press down too hard it'll break more.

Buy Digitalizer and LCD Display from here
http://www.ebay.de/itm/151615938934...49&var=450825180259&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I bought the display + frame assembly from here:http://www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-...ria-Z-L36h-C6603-LT36-display/1449119790.html
I was skeptic at the start,but the screen is actually darn good.
26$,arrived in only 8 days(even though it said it would take from 15 to 30 days),my phone looks brand new and the screen is nice for the price(the colors are a bit duller than the original screen,but the viewing angles are epic,almost like an IPS screen). xD
I was ready to sacrifice 10% of the color reproduction on my screen instead of paying 3x more for an original one(yeah,a new screen and frame assembly in my country costs no less than 100 $ )

Buy a new phone. Xperia Z is a piece of ****. I cracked my screen twice. The second time you can't even see the crack unless holding it on an angle under a certain light. I see iPhones all the time, MISSING part of the front glass and still working. I bought my mum a Xperia Z Ultra and that broke two in one small drop. Count it a win and change manufacturer.

Shadow spots on screen

I got my xperia Z yesterday and I noticed two darker shadow like spots on screen. I'm definitely taking it to the shop tomorrow but I want to know what is it. I have peeled a regular screen protector but i havent removed shatterproof film. I think it may be dirt under shatterproof film? Spots are most visible on grey and white and on black under an angle. They are barely visible on other colors, especially vivid. I took some photos of it but they are much more visible in reality than on photos. (I also altered brightness and contrast on one picture cause it's more visible)

I bought a phone two days ago and payed full price. No physical damage was done to it since then. I'm not even thinking about paying for anything. I'm going to shop today cause I have a waranty but I'm not sure I will accept display replacement cause I doubt it will still remain waterproof. I just want to know whats going on.

[Q] Xperia Z1 flash bleed and speaker problems, kinda urgent

Hi guys, i have 2 issues with my 2 week old Z1.
One is huge flash bleed i get, and other is that only one of the two bottom speakers is working.
It's easier to show it with pictures.
Flash bleed is obvious, while for the speaker only the one circled in red is working while playing music on it. I doubt it's supposed to be that way right?
Oh, and for the flash bleed, i am not using any screen protectors and there is no cover. Talking about black Z1.
I am wondering should i just give them to fix it or ask for replacement.
Thanks for all the advices you may have.

Flash bleed is someone caused by pre-installed screen protector, someone report they fix that problem with removing it.
Also we have mono speaker, it's just on one side (right one, left one is for microphone and other stuff)

Pre-installed screen protector on the back side? Now i wasn't expected that nor noticed it.
Do you have any ideas on how to remove it?
I will use the case at some point so it won't hurt me being without it.
And thanks for the info on the speakers, that part is solved then
It's hard to get it off, you can notice in corners that there is pre-installed protector.
But be advised, just someone says that flashbleed solve after taking it off, while some of guys told it's same.
So choice is up to you.

write, if something changes after removal of the film.
My ASF on the back is long gone, I have terrible flash bleed though.
I noticed today that my back glass has come off around the camera and that the flash bleed disappears if I press the back into place.
I hope my flash bleed due to the screen protector, check when the next replacement come.
I ordered a set of screen protectors from the US. Unfortunately it will take at least 2 weeks for it to get to my country.
I will post an update once i get it and do the removal/switch of the back one.
In the mean time i found a possible solution that might work on xperia Z1 as well.
And that is to take black permanent marker and paint that white metallic circle going around the lenses.
(For the first try i think i will just use standard removable marker, and do it with permanent if it works)
Since marker is possible to remove and less invasive then removing of SP i will try that first.
Will post an update in a few days how this went.
Update:
The shipment of my screen protectors got lost on the way somewhere, well at least I got a refund.
By the time I ordered new one, this time going with Tempered Glass.
As far as the flash bleed is concerned, problem now comes and go, still can't determine the pattern as to when it happens.
Seems like camera likes some angles better then the others.
This should be interesting to test a bit.

Check your black model for air bubbles under the front panel

Just returned my SGS5 due to an air bubble or something under the front panel.
I've seen a lot of black SGS5 with this issue on one of the corners or around the home button. It is visible with sunlight or under a lamp. You need to pass your fingers around the front panel and then they will appear.
Check these pictures I took to see what I mean:

On the white model it can't be seen. Only on black ones.
Check to see if you have it.
Mines fine....had it since release
That happened to my friend but only after he dropped it, luckily on the carpet. Very cheap work from Samsung on a flag ship.
And it's really annoying... any way to fix it?
I had that develop - had the phone since launch day and the bubble developed 2 weeks ago. I took it into Samsung repair Centre and they replaced the screen within the day.

Disappointing to see such quality issues on their flagship.
Checked mine, looking fine so far, have it since launch.
It's mostly noticeable on the black model and in daylight at certain angles.
I've also seen it around the home button.
I've checked several black ones with this issue on stores.
None of them have the tempered glass screen protectors do they? I would hate to see everyone freaking out because their screen protector isn't lined up exactly how it should and creating the same problem.
I can speak from experience. Not that I thought my screen was messed up, but from how there is 0% tolerance with some of the tempered glass screen protectors and they need to be lined up perfectly or else around the corners they will have air bubbles exactly as everyone here shows.

Yes. Mine too, but the glass protection has been changed from 2 monhs ago. There is no scratch on it and I don't use cover
It's a really weird issue.
A guy above said he's was fine and the bubble appeared 2 weeks ago.
Is this something that can appear at a later time?
I think this is due to the waterproof protection.

Oneplus 3t screen (Amoled) problem?

Hello there!
I would like to ask if there's something wrong with my amoled screen. I bought my Oneplus 3t 4 days ago. I would like to ask if its normal to have screen like that. So, half of my screen (down part) is quite red or pink and it feels like quite darker than the up side of the screen (if you're testing it on white or grey background). It's quite annoying when u are surfing net on chrome... I tested another amoled on My girlfriend's SGS6 edge and the screen is totally the same (there are NO any darker or pinker sides). Do you have anything like that? Or there is something wrong with my amoled? Would like to know your opinion. I would be appreciated if you could send some photos like i did so we can compare.
Thanks in advance!

Sadly this is why i returned my op3 , These displays on the op3/t are terrible
But yeah a lot of op'3s have screen uniformity issues
Do you think i should return it aswell? Is someone else having same problem ?
My display does not have this issue.

Can you please show some screens like i did please ? Put your screen on whole grey background and something about 30% brightness. Would be really appreciated
White......
I tried the screen tester app and sure enough my screen is absolute perfection. All colors look absolutely great . Whites are uniformed white and also greys

Same here every color, gray, and black perfect at every brightness.
Thank you guys for the responds. It was really important for me. Ill refund my oneplus 3t back to store. This is unacceptable for me to have screen like that.

actually that screenshot is useless. imaging using a torch to burn the screen and it turns yellowish or cracks. the screenshot will still be white.
Yah definitely don't see any problems with my display on 3T so good thing you returned.

Yes definitely return it, You shouldn't have to deal with a bad display when you paid 439/479eur, ask for replacement or return it and buy again, problem is with all the returns / replacements you always have to wait weeks.
Guess its better to wait weeks than struggle all the time and be unhappy with the new device . Thanks to all one more time!
It's an AMOLED quality problem. It took me 3returns of my 6P until I got a screen that was uniform without green or pink tints. Luckily, my OP3T was uniform the first time.

Rectangle on my screen after removing the screen protector?

Hello everyone! This morning, I removed the screen protector that came with my replacement display which I have been using for months now because it had too many scratches. After removing it, nothing was out of the blue until I noticed a large patch of uneven pixels in the shape of a rectangle. Can someone explain to me why this happens and the best way to solve it?
I've read some others had luck by just leaving it alone and letting it disappear on its own (usually within a week or so). My screen does not show any signs of screen burn-in and only shows image retention when watching 16:9 content for long periods of time (~usually 40 minutes at most)

This is an image of my phone with the said rectangle.
App: OLED Tools
The rectangle is mostly noticeable when viewing dark images or gray backgrounds. It is also noticeable when looking at dark greens.
Mine did the same thing after removing my glass screen protector (Dome). Took a good 3 weeks to a month to fade enough that I can just ever ever so slightly notice it. I was really bummed out because the phone is flawless, and I wanted to change to a new protector.
But yeah, it faded away. I just looked again and I can't see it anymore.
I don't understand how the screen protector has anything to do with that or why it wasn't visible before. Disconcerting...
It's really very odd. First phone that has ever done something like that.
All I can say is always use OEM parts with these devices. That includes the adhesive strips.
I've repaired Canon pro cams before and having the exact parts makes the difference.
I hope it works out for you.

It was replaced by an authorized Samsung Service Center I know the parts are legit.
It's been a few weeks now, and it's not as noticeable anymore!
