Visible mark on the screen. - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I play some games and I played one game which made problems with my phone's glass - Petroleum Tycoon.
So I was playing it couple hrs a day non-stop because I played with my friend. After couple of minutes (5-10) non-stopping I could feel hotness in that particular place where I swipe. I played it maybe 1-2 weeks. After these weeks I saw that in my swiping area there was a visible mark which does not prevent from working but when turning screen off and pointing screen to light or sunlight you can see it. Is there any magical cure which will remove that mark back?
I tried to clean the screen but after I touch it all over the screen it's visible again.
Sorry for poor quality photo because I don't have a camera or phone with good camera(And I don't have my tablet)

There are liquids to clean screen, if it doesn't work you can try a little isoprpyl alcohol. If it does not work, the glass coating was removed, maybe a screen protector (plastic or glass) can make it less visible.

Sreenprotectors - The hidden Side Effect.

This is something i noticed with my device, the screen protector iv had it on ever since i got my mda vario III, today i removed it cose there was dust collecting at the edges of the screen where it couldn't reach as its smaller than the screen then i notice the device was performing alot faster to make sure i wasn't just seeing things i tried playing a game of FPSEce before all were really slow average 10fps when actually playing now i get it around 20fps the game was actually playable not perfectly of course but still alot better. Again this is a possible effect of the lack of drivers if we get screen protector companies on your side who knows i mean who would buy one if it slowed down their ppc which would lower their business.
Lol , the only conclusion i can give you is that your screen protector was actually continuously pushing the touch screen somewhere.
Resulting in the ever lasting htc touchscreen driver bug eating cpu cycles.
You can always check this with an app that shows cpu usage.

Batterystatus used to show it as low
The screenprotector does not weigh enough to be able to create a force large enough to activate the screen.
Here is a different theory: the screen protector does not let heat to diffuse through the screen, outside. Hence, the device become warmer, and the CPU throttle down...

It does if it goes under an edge... my touch stopped working, cause it got slipped under the edge and therefore was exerting force on the screen.
this is impossible because our screens are only single touch, if it was always being pressed then that means the press from out finger or stylus wouldnt work or it wouldnt press most of the time. you would find it very messed up. havnt u ever tried pressing in 2 places on the screen with a paint program or drawing just for fun?
i could see the screen protector "pressing" on the screen if it was stretched or shrunken.
however, have you ever taken a ball point pen and tried to write on a stack of papers? you eneded up with a clear "dent" on the second page, but a barely visible "dent on the third. the screen protectors make the screen less sensitive because it's just another layer. try doubling the sensitivity in your registry from 7000 to 14000 and see if it helps a little. (or the oil from your skin will eventualy collect enough dust, that if you do any heavy literary work on your PPC; you will surely wear out your screen)
I have a couple of light scratches on my screen from drawing; so i prefer the screen is less exact, but protected.
(keep in mind you create friction when you run plastic on plastic; and friction creates heat, brazing the tip of your stilus, ocasionaly making it sharper than it should be.)
I suppose thats how I see it.

touch screen protector problem

I have tilt and have had it about a month. When I got it I installed the screen protector that came with it immediatly. A few days ago it slowley stopped responding to the screen. I removed the protector and it started working again. I put a new protector on and it immediatly stopped working. What I have found is that when it is on the screen it seems to be applying equal pressure to a wide area of the screen causing nothing to be selected. I have adjusted the sensativity both ways without success. Can anyone please help.
I stopped using protectors long ago. This plus the "soft" feel of the plastic, and them getting scratched quickly annoyed me.
had the same problem just cut your pieces a bit smaller, its possible to actually "tuck" them in around the edges. But that is your problem. Im guessing it spreads the light or distorts it to the point that it fuxxorizes the touch.

2nd try: Touchscreen accuracy

Hey everyone,
since 2 or 3 months I've got an HTC Kaiser. I really like it, it is equipped with an TF2D integrated ROM, so far everything nice
But as you can see in my device history, I formerly got an HTC P4350, these one was terribly slow! But it had one thing which was a thousand times better than my Kaiser:
The Touch screen was accurate. When I'm working (or whatever) with my kaiser, I sometimes have to tap 5-6 times on the screen until I reach my destination due to the bad touchscreen accuracy.
I tried also a screen allignment but it had no positive effect, it is for alligning the screen and to set the required pressure but thats not what I'm searching for.
I need a screen on which it tap while using Icontact for example and with which I am able to hit the contact which I prefer (and the buttons are really big and not all other ones around... But usually I have to tap several times to reach my destination.
This occurs even a little more whilie using it without a stylus.
And also i think the lowest accuracy is located in the center of the screen. So anyone has an Idea how to solve this matter?
Is a new LCD helpful?
When I used my bosses phone the accuracy was also very low - maybe it is a general problem for the Kaiser? (He has also an HTC Kaiser)
I don't know - so is anyone able to help me with that matter?
Best regards,
Maeffjus
are you using a screen protector?
if so, try removing the screen protector and then check the accuracy.
if the accuracy improves after removing the screen protector, then you can either use the phone without the screen protector or buy a brand new screen protector.
finally, try cleaning under the edges of the frame of the screen with a thin piece of cardboard or a rigid plastic sheet.
No, I'm not using a protector...
I'm often cleaning the screen edges with business-cards (otimal solution *lol*)
The screen was equiped with a protector when I bought the phone but I removed it immediately.
And also the accuracy is bad on my bosses Kaiser...

Water on screen

Has anyone noticed their NC is very sensitive to water on the screen? I find even if the tiniest few drops of misty rain land on it, it's fine for a few seconds and then once I try touching it, the screen totally glitches out and starts detecting spurious touches. If I sleep the screen and turn it back on, that usually fixes it.
In a city like Vancouver this could end up being a deal breaker ;-) I don't expect a water proof tablet but my touch phones like the Milestone and Nexus One have typically withstood little bits of moisture on the screen without impairing usability.
Repeatable test: Open MultiTouch Tester, wet your finger. Swipe it around the perimeter of the screen a few times. Wait a few seconds. Repeat. Wait a few seconds. At some point when you aren't touching the screen, you'll start to see spurious touches appearing on the screen. If you wait even longer for those touches to stop, then the screen will become totally insensitive to all input. Sleep and back on fixes it.
Theyre called screen protectors.. use em.

Can someone confirm if the same behaviour persists with a screen protector?
I don't own a screen protector but I tried putting a piece of plastic wrap over top to test the behaviour. I wet my finger and trace a few circles on the screen through the wrap. I still get the spurious touches even though the water never contacts the screen. The moment I lift up the wrap, the spurious touches stop but the screen is again unresponsive. I have to sleep it off and on before it works again.
Since all screen protectors are some type of plastic or other, I have a feeling this problem would still happen with a protector.
And here is my video showing the "experiment" (no protector/wrap).

Again, same results with plastic in between the water and the screen.

Had the same problems but putting on a screen protector fixed it. No random touches. No need to turn the screen off/on. So much better.
Using this one.
confirmed. it still does it will screen protector. tested with ipad and itouch too see if this was a capacitive screen issue. water had no effect on those too devices. Doesn't really matter because I don't plan using this device outside in the rain.
Well I wouldn't take it out in a torrential storm, but sometimes it's just "spitting" out as it often is in the Pacific northwest, and I'm reading a book or article at the bus stop. And then suddenly it's flipping random pages or launching unwanted apps.

This is probably related to the common phantom touches people get. I know my nook some times register random touches from hovering fingers up to an inch from the screen.
Too much dirt/grease on the screen will also do it. The screen on the NC is (by default) very sensitive.. There are a few methods to "calibrate it", some of which say if you're touching it while calibrating the sensitivity goes down.
I've seen this several times myself, and yeah it's annoying because it goes NUTS. One time I had it remove an app from my launcher, launch another app, then change some settings. I was like wtff gaaahhhhh
No screen protector on mine.. I usually do on devices, just haven't on this one yet.
It's a capacitive screen. A drop of water can make the screen behave strangely because the capacitance of the screen changes where the water is. Multiple drops of water will drive the screen nuts. This isn't new. If you hands are too dry the screen won't register the touch.
It is how they work.......
BN brand matte (anti-glare) screen protector has completely, I mean 100% no lie, fixed this problem for me. In addition, the screen loses it's "tackiness". It's a pleasure using the screen now.

[Q] screen protector question

I have experimented with various screen protectors on the Moto X. The one that I have on now covers the left side portion by the ear speaker. I have also seen screen protectors that purposely have this area cut out of the screen protector. I believe that this is where the light sensor is. I have been trying this screen protector out for a couple days (it is a anti-glare kind and is opaque) I have noticed that the active notifications don't come on as much...however, this may all be in my head. Curious if anyone else had tested this. See attached picture.
The screen protector I used ( Xtreme guard) has an extra area cut out to the left of the speaker, i guess for the proximity/light sensors..
and I don't have any issues with active notifications.. maybe you can cut it out?
That is the proximity / light sensor. Play with it when you're in a call - cover it up with your finger, and the screen goes off, remove your finger, and the screen comes back on. That's how your phone knows it's up to your face and to turn the screen off so you don't accidentally face dial. Some screen protectors don't affect it, others seem to. I don't doubt that your active notifications are funny if that piece is covered up. I had a tempered glass protector on that covered it. I had some issues with the screen not coming on when I took my phone away from the face to end the call. Sometimes active display would randomly turn on when the phone was sitting still on my desk. After I switched to a different brand that didn't cover it up, my problems went away.
Thank you for the info. I had a feeling that there was something up because it was acting a little random after putting that protector on. I don't think all companies really test their accessories on the phones they make them for...other than that they fit okay but not if they affect performance. Those test would take too much time. Funny thing is I got them from a Sprint store and they were $20 for two :/ . I found some, actually the exact one's Moto's sight selling, on Amazon for around six dollars something and they have a space cut out for that area.
