Blue lines on screen with reflection

All,
I notice when there is a lot of reflection in my screen that I could see blue lines crossing from top to bottom (not sure if you can understand me).
It's more noticable when the screen is receiving a lot of light from the sun and screen is black.
Have somebody found the same issue? I can't make a picture because they are not seen.
I'm thinking to go to Vodafone and ask for a new phone or double check it with another one.
Regards,
Jordi

It is normal. The lines are the screen edges. They can be seen at the top, bottom, left and right edges of the screen when it is off.

You must be lucky then! If my guess is right it should be the oleophobic coating on the screen. And as you stated that you can see them that must only mean it was applied thicker than normal. Which means you won't likely run into fingerprint trouble anytime soon.

I have no idea what this means. Do you mean you can see lines on the screen edges or do you see blocks of little strips going from top to bottom? The first one is just the lamination of the screen, the second is just the touch sensor beneath the glass.

The lines are going from left to right through all screen (top to bottom).
It's hard to explain but if you play a little with the screen when is receiving the sun or there is a lot of light easy to see them.
For sure there is something applied more than normal or an issue screen process.
Just wanted to check if sonebody has the same issue or no as i dont have any other person to compare.
Thanks

These are blue lines and between two lines you can see blocks

Yes, that is the touch panel. Normal and unavoidable. HTC needs to go with in-cell touch to get rid of it. Even then, it might still be there.

I was surprised as i have other HTC phones like the Sensation, Touch Pro 2 and no lines shown.
Thanks for your help

HTC One screen issue

Does anyone have this problem where you can see these very light faint horizontal brownish or grayish line from top to bottom of the screen? Each of these horizontal lines are like a pattern of bars, each of these bar consist of 2 lines from top and bottom. It only shows clearly when in a white or brown color image, example, Google Play store, white webpage background and setting menu.

Not a dud. It's the digitizer.

You can't. A camera cannot pick it up as the lines are very fine.

Yes same here. I was gonna post about this, but held on it since I had a feeling thats just how the display is (as explained below). Glad its hard to see unless at certain angles and lights.

Touch sensitivity

When my phone is laying flat on a table the touch sensitivity is very poor, at least around the edges. I can't pull down the notification bar and the nav bar is near unresponsive. It almost feels like it's some sort of feature to prevent accidental touches, if you know what I mean. Has anyone else experienced this? There is no issue when holding it normally in my hand.

I just tried it...yeah, it happens on mine as well. I guess it has to do with the curved back no biggie. I normally lay it down on my wallet with Skip inside. So I have never even noticed this

Yeah, not really much of a concern for me either. Just curious if others had experienced it or if anyone knew why it happened. Interesting idea with the skip/wallet setup.

Good to know it's not just mine. Did you have a screen protector on when you tried this?

Yes, actually. I have the thick shock protection sold on the Motorola site. I have been meaning to test it without but have been waiting to get a new protector to replace it however. I really don't like this protector and hope the touch sensitivity gets better once it's gone. I have just been lazy in looking for a new one.

I cannot detect any loss in sensitivity when my phone is laying on my desk. I am not using a screen protector at all.

No problems pulling down the notification bar? Also can you try installing the following app and drawing lines from the center of the screen all the way up to the top of the screen? Does the line go all the way up or does it end slightly before the edge of the touchscreen?

Thanks.

Yep noticed this as well. Mainly on the home button. Back and recents seem responsive enough, but if it's laying on my desk or floor, home is almost non-existent. Gets to be pretty frustrating.

No problem with the notification bar at all. I tried it all along the top, it works perfect every time, fast or slow movement makes no difference.
Might try the app later but I just gave it another good test and it performed perfectly, even if I barely touch the screen.

Yeah... Mine is fine too. No screen protector.

I replaced my screen protector. MUCH better.

It happens every once and a while. I got a otterbox self healing screen protector

Just tried it on mine with no screen protector and I am getting the same as the OP.
It's funny because usually I sit it flat while I am on the couch - must be the soft surface and the curved back which means it works fine, but you're right on the hard table surface it's noticeable.

Defective screen possibly?

Wanted to see if anyone else's phone did what mine is doing. On a white or Light color I can see a darker line going up the ride side of the display. If your using the stock keyboard it lines up with the return key. There's another line going across the upper part of the display going left to right. Here's the weird part, if it wasn't for this I would definitely just say the display burned in somehow. The shadow lines are only visible outside in the sunlight. When I got the phone I did a screen test app and all looked great, but I did the test inside so I don't know if it was always like this in sunlight and I didn't notice or it somehow broke itself since then. I checked all my apps to see if they lined up with the lines and I can't find any that do so I really don't think it's burned in. I should mention I'm using auto brigjtness.
TL;DR : take your phone outside, on auto brightness looking at a white or Light screen and let me know if you can see shadow lines on the right and top of the display so I know if I have to return mine or not, thanks.

I read through a couple pages on there just now, from what I've seen it's people talking about the screen having a colored tint in places, mine is grey lines. It's a long thread, have you seen mentioned the same problem mine seems to have?

Yes. Its mostly people talking about the pink blotches, but there are some that have the gradient lines that are more visible with a black/white screen. Basically, take your phone back and exchange it and pray you get a better display (and not a worse one).

S pen air command

Hi
Please can you help, is there a way to have air command open on the left side of the screen when you remove the s pen?
Thanks

No, but if you tick "Enable floating icon" in S-pen settings you can move the icon to the left side. It will still open on the right but if you tap off the air command icon on the screen the S-pen icon shows up where you moved it last, i.e. the left hand side...
Haven't found anything more permanent than this and don't know if it would survive a reboot but this is the best available until Samsung see's fit to add the option to change sides...
Don't see them doing this any time soon though as the majority of users are right handed...

I'm right handed and I'd like to have it on the left two, lol! Call me crazy, but I wish the fingerprint scanner was on the opposite side. I hold my phone in my left hand and tap with my right. Most times I open the phone with my right hand since my right index finger naturally hits the sensor. Then I switch hands. I'm trying to train my left index finger to hit the sensor, but it's awkward.

One of the notes had an button to move it. So maybe if you bug samsung enough they will add it in an update.
I write with my left hand, but can hold and use my phone with either hand.
Even use the spen with my right, just cant write with it lol...

Don't know but if you press the button on the S-Pen over either side of the screen it will open the air command on the same side. So, if you click it on the left side of the display you got the air commands in that area. Same on the right. Hope that helps.

I am left handed. You can move it over. The problem is when you first pull out the pen it always on the right side. After you close it it'll move over to the left side. One of the leaves I have about this phone. Lol I wish they made a left handed version and put the pen silo on the left. I'd pay a little extra for that lol. I serious!

Oh if you set the thing that makes it do something like open air command or create a note. If you set it to do nothing the thing appears on the side you left it.

Looking into it you can actually tick "Do nothing" when removing the pen and have moved to icon to the left side. Does mean you have to tap the icon to bring up air commands though.

When you have it set to aur commands it will always open it up on the right side. When you tap outside it will minimize and go to the side you have it set to. When you have it do nothing it will just have it minimized on the side you have air command at. So you would have to tap it to open it.
I wish it was like the older notes where there was an actual setting where you can pick the side and it would stay that side.

Unfortunately 1 or 2 people complaining about it won't cut it. You need a lot of people to complain before Samsung will even pay attention. Guarantee'd your email has been relegated to the Spam drawer or the Trashcan before even being read....
I'm sure a lot of random people send email's that aren't deemed "read worthy".
