Two days with the D2 and display broken

It is hard to believe, the display is real **** of the D2.
I was super careful, did not drop the phone or anything. Already after the 2nd day of owning it, the display is broken.
I had it in the leather pouch in my pocket and when I pull it out to use it, I see some liquid under the display. Now the display does not react anymore.
No idea what to do...
has this happened to you before?

Hi
Sorry to hear the screen is broken, if you mean you had it in your trouser pocket this is very likely the reason. They should never ever be put in a trouser pocket, a mobile phone might be built to withstand it, but not a mobile PDA such as these. The problem is they are all screen, and any pressure bending the chassis, or keys or coins pressing against the screen are going to cause problems.
Depending on where you bought it you might be able to send it back to the place of purchase, or try a warranty repair with HTC, however other people have reported that problems such as this with the screen are excluded from warranty.
Regards
Phil

This screen issue does worry me; it does seem to have afflicted quite a few users. I regard myself a a very careful user, my "gadgets" are rarely scratched or marked.
But, I keep the D2 in a soft pouch in my jacket pocket. Evertime I get it out there's an irrational urge to worry if the screen's still OK. This will probably subside with time, I admit.
What worries me is if the pouch gets "poked" on the screen side whilst in my jacket. I would expect a portable device to be at least a bit resistant to this treatment. The D2 does appear to have a "delicate" screen, which would benefit from being stored in a pouch with a hard protective panel on the screen side. If only for peace of mind.

Thanks for the kind words. I just left the phone alone for about 3 hours and the liquid behind the display has disappeared. It seems like it fixed itself, which I do not understand.
I will monitor it and treat it carefully, however it looks like this could be a common problem, as I really did not drop it nor knock it.
If anyone else has had a similar experience, I would be interested to know about. I actually may call XDA and ask them how this happens...it's looking good so far...

My TD2 is always in my trousers pocket, just like my previous pda, the HTC Touch, without any screenprotectors or such. Both screens are not damaged at all and works still just fine

You are lucky. Maybe you never carry anything else, like keys or money, in your trouser pocket. Perhaps you're rich and don't care

@cencored: Perhaps it was just moisture which has dried out? I've read before this can happen if the screen gets damp (although the symptom for actual physical screen damage sounds very similar).

I remember my Diamond2 coming with an extra message in the package stating you should never keep it in the pockets of your trousers.

i have had my D2 for 1month and a half. i havn't had any problems with it except some dust getting under the screen which i fixed it.

I misplaced the slip case that came with my TD2, ordered a new one of the interweb but in the 2 days it too k to arrive my screen got scratched. Given the real beauty of this device is the screen and it;'s resoloution I am gutted to the point that even though it is still 100% functional and the scratches are really very small I may look at the cost of a new screen.

Why don't they make phone screens out of the same glass they make watch glass with? I don't feel the need to put a watch protector on the glass of my watch, and it seems to need a lot of abuse before it gets scratched or chipped.

If I'm correct the statement said to take the phone out of your pocket when sitting down.

This is a little difficult for "touch"-screen, because it will not respond
I always have my phone in the trouserpocket, but because I know I'm not very carefull with al lot of things, I have a leather case with hard top.
I friend of mine had complaints about damp in his diplay.
They said never to keep your phone in your trouserpocket and never use it in the bathroom

well the touchscreen means that the protection foil must me sensitive to touch. I carry my TD 2 in my backpack. ALWAYS. I know that there are problems with the screen. Yes, there was a message that came with the TD 2 pack: something like don't sit when your phone is in your pocket. Still, better safe than sorry

Experience without screenguard ?

I wanna know experience of those who used their Nexus 7 without screen guard for 1 month or longer.
Please mention the kind of usage,like gaming or simple browsing,please also mention if you used it with a case or without one.
I have currently removed the screen guard, the screen now looks really alive but I'm worried that it might result in scratches,I use it mostly for browsing and sometimes gaming.

I never used a screen protector and I have my N7 for 2 years, there's not even one scratch on it.
However, if I travel somewhere I put a case on it which also protects the screen, but if it's not in a backpack then it's always naked.
I use it for browsing, but why would it matter?

I just thought that as gaming involves more rubbing of screen unlike browsing so it might cause some scratches.
Anyways thanks for the reply, I do have this poetic slim line case which is magnetic and would be useful while travelling.

Do you use something to clean the screen like some solution,if yes then how often?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Even if gaming means more rubbing of the screen (which I don't think is the case, but I barely play anything on touchscreens), there's no way you're going to scratch the screen with your fingers only.
If you have a case, use it when you're travelling, because if you just put you're Nexus 7 in a bag full of other stuff without any protection, then there's a big chance that it'll actually scratch, otherwise you can use it with or without a case/screen protector.

I have used 13 months without 1.its still good.i carry it with me to my college evryday in an case.it was droppd two or three times from about 4ft.i am heavey user used it for gaming n reading mostly.only problem without screenguard is annoying figerprints

back when I had my n7, after about 6 months of not using a screen protector and dropping it multiple times, once even off my porch face down into gravel, it only had one very light barely noticeable scratch.
BUT, I also used Swype keyboard. and I noticed something odd after some time. where I swiped in the keyboard area a lot(used it for forums browsing a lot of typing/swiping) it seemed that the "coating" on the screen in that area had worn off. I'm guessing it was some kinda oleophobic(sp??) coating for greasy fingerprints. that area definite looked different than rest of screen. it would get smudges from my finger s there WAY easier than any other area, and if I "steamed" the screen with my breath to get a better wipe clean, you could see that area stood out as different vs rest of the screen.
that's just my experience, others may vary, especially Dependent on how much you use a swipe style keyboard lol

This is what I use to clean the screen.

i had my nexus 7 for 1 year and a few months and i never used a screen guard or a case.
no scratches
i play games alot and browse alot.
i dropped it two times

I've had mine nearly 2 years and not a single scratch despite being naked. I do use a hard case when travelling though :good:
A guy I work with had a naked one in his coat pocket, fell over a tree root in a dark churchyard (I didn't like to ask too much why) and smashed the screen to smithereens!

I have mine for about 1 1/2 years now and I never used a screen protector and a case only for a short time. Sadly I dropped it once on the asphalt which it got some scratches on the hull from. But the screen is still in an absolute flawless condition. But the fact that I have my N7 at home for 95% of the time might also saved it from some scratches.

Mine is almost 99 present time at home, now have been using it without screen guard for 3 days and I have to say that the experience is a lot lot better, the touch is a very nice without screen guard and screen looks a lot more lively, I think I'm gonna keep it like this.
The protection is not worth compromising the experience and as I can see from what you guys say, it's not necessary either.

Screen guards drive me crazy, between the loss of touch sensitivity and the potential air bubbles. Stopped using them years ago, over multiple devices, and have yet to regret not using them anymore. Modern electronics are pretty sturdy

Its like with any glass surface. If you keep abrasive substances away from it then you don't have to worry about scratches. Keep your hands clean and you won't have to worry about scratches. Most scratches on phone screens come from being placed in pants pockets. Why my phone has a protector on it. I do have a protector on my n7 mostly because my son uses my tablet from time to time. My wife has a 2013 n7 and is naked and so far no scratches and that screen is so slick feeling. Almost like your finger is having sex lol. Maybe one day I will take my screen protector off as my son has a tab 2. I just started leaving my case off my n7 as it just stays home mostly.

Bought when they announced it at the 2012 IO. Never had a screen guard. Always in a cover-case...just a cheapo poetic. Screen is perfect.
I clean all of my device screens the same way: a few drops of water and a terry cloth or microfiber cloth. The 2012 N7 has a solid front glass so there is no chance of getting the insides wet. I have to be more careful with my S4 and 5s since they have hard home buttons and speaker holes.
(And yes, I have an iPhone for work. My options were an S4 which I already had, an ancient D4 or the 5s. So I got the 5s to have something different.)

I tend to not care. I'd rather enjoy my device than have it all wrapped up in plastic.

Mi5s Front Glass broken!

Hi guys
Middle and right button is not working.
Left and FP is working.
LCD is fine.
I've been looking in Ali and most of cheaper front packages doesn't came with FP. The ones that has, its the triple of the price. (half of the MI5s price)
I would like to know if anyone had already changed only the front glass? Does anyone know where I can find it?

Think you gonna have to get a whole screen assembly, don't think it's very easy to just replace only the digitizer

Plus the integrated fingerprint sensor and a curved screen. Any repair is going to be both expensive and difficult. I guess you have to live with it or replace the phone unless you REALLY want to get it repaired.

Hey,
have you found something already? Where do you live?
I also crashed the left bottom corner of my screen. At first the buttons still worked, but then they started acting crazy, pressing randomly.
I asked a local repair shop here in Taipei and they quoted about US$ 115. But I don't remember which parts they would replace.
I found it a bit pricey, so now I'm using the apps "buttons remapper" (de-activate "back" and "home") and "soft buttons". Works quite well. Just need to re-activate both after every ROM update.
Cheers,
Linus X.

My Mi5s buttons are crazy too.
Where I live, I couldn't find a place to replace it.
I only found on AliExpress. but I read that you need to buy a Fingerprint sensor too. And it seems that its not easy to stick correctly on screen.
I'm using Pie Controls while I'm thinking what to do.
Maybe I'll buy this screen and FP on Ali. If I do, I'll write here!

Why is the Gorilla glass/Concore glass not protecting the screen?

And?
Any progress? I've got similar problem. My screen is broken, but from what i've found I have to buy screen together with FP if i want FP to work correctly. Do you have any source where I can buy them together? (and it's not fake?)

I got my replacement screen from this store on aliexpress:
link
FP and everything is working perfectly, only the lcd seems to be a bit slower

In case anyone is interested in my display repair experience:
I had my display replaced for about USD 85 by a local repair shop. Afterwards I found out that the fingerprint scanner doesn't work anymore and they went like "of course, how come you didn't know that?". Pretty outrageous customer service if you ask me.
They said they used an original screen from Xiaomi (took over 2 weeks to order), but I feel like the glass is totally flat, not slightly bent as the original one. And recently the capacitive buttons sometimes seem less responsive.
Conclusion: next time I'd try to get it repaired by the manufacturer, or live with the damaged screen if that's too expensive.
Cheers,
Linus X.

i found several display + touch screen sets for like 25$. Link
Or are those lcd and the original display is oled?

That price seems too good to be true. However if I had a crashed screen I would give it a go. Anyone replaced a screen himself so far?

Apparently the Mi5s does not have a "Gorilla Glass" screen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q_A0a1nkbM

Guys. First the video is a Mi 5 and not a Mi 5s. Second the Display for 25 bucks posted by @derdigga does not have the fingerprint sensor included. So if you don't want to loose that function, look for screen that have the digitizer as well as the fingerprint sensor included. In best case it's already glued into the frame. That makes the assembly much easier as you don't have to glue the screen by yourself.

Another note on my repair experience: I dropped the phone from like 30cm onto fairly hard carpet. Since then the lower part of the display isn't glued in properly, so at night I can see the leds shine through between case and screen at the bottom. Went back to the store, they just added some glue. Few days later the tiny gap is back again.
Kinda sad for such a nice phone!
Linus X.

from my experience, the replacement screens for the Mi5s doesn't have the fingerprint sensor SO forget about it if you want a replacement screen.
My problem after replaced the screen is that i have really bad gps signal.
Anyone else faced this problem?

Does the home button work even if the fingerprint scanner is not installed?

Yes, the home button works as it is capacitive.

[Q] Broken back glass : manufacturing problem or bad luck ?

Dear XDA users,
I bought my Mi 9 early April and after less than a month I have found the back glass broken like this when taking the phone out of my jeans pocket :

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
The phone never fell (it has absolutely no marks on the outer metal), I did not perform any special/unusual move with the phone in my pocket, and there was no other items in that pocket (I am used to carry all my phones that way for years).
But this time I just found the mobile like that when I took it out. Note that I am not using any kind of protection.
So I wonder if I just had extreme bad luck or if more devices may have a fragility on their back glass ?

Maybe there was some keys or coins in you pocket and sitting with jeans make some pressure on phones

No as I wrote above there was nothing else in my pocket. I am used to live and travel with all my phones like that for a dozen years, and I never put anything else in the same pocket to avoid damaging the screen. It worked fine until now...

I wonder if it accidentally got hit or something, I know you said no but it looks like that section near the usbc port is took a hit of some sort.
I had my oneplus back crack, only a few weeks old, never dropped etc but I chalked it up to it must have inadvertently got hit somehow/someway without be knowing as I didn't find others with the same issue.

The cracks in the glass seem to start from the bottom indeed, but I can assure you that the metal all around the usbc is totally clean (there is a small white reflection there on the picture which may be seen as a damage, but it's not).
I cannot exclude that I missed a "hit" on my pocket during the hour which elapsed since the previous phone usage, but it would still be extremely weak for a gorilla glass 5 to break with a "hit" that I wouldn't have felt or noticed :/

Just looking around, can order a new back glass for $10 and it looks simple to replace. That's good at least.

Replacement back here

It's 3D glass. NEVER leave it unprotected.
2.5D glass on iPhones are much weaker as well (like the front of the Mi 9 which is very close).
3D glass or Edge-Glass (think Samsung Galaxy S7/8/9/10) is also amongst the worst.
No one should go without, AT LEAST, the included case, just because the camera glass isn't sapphire-crystal (9H) but sapphire-glass (5.5H) - like JerryRigEverything test has shown.

I had a Galaxy S7 before the Mi 9, two years in my pocket exactly the same way with no protections, never had a scratch on the screen or back

Same issue repeated with the rear glass on Mi9
My phone is in a robust case and the rear glass has been broken 3 times now! I have never broken any screen before and I have had phones for over 25 years.

Hi,
I just realize that I forgot to provide feedback here.
So I bought this back cover on Aliexpress : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33009357325.html
An this heat gun : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32966891985.html
I replaced the back cover myself and it was quite easy. Have a look at video like this one before : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta_vYqOfK0Q
Since then, I am enjoying my Mi 9 and never had any problem with broken back or front glass anymore (although I still don't use any cover and hold the phone in my pocket...).
I think that the original back cover that I had was faulty, although Xiaomi never accepted that and refused to repair under warranty.
Good luck with yours !
Laurent

Thanks I will give it a try.
I have purchased all of the replacement screens do far from eBay..

Looks like bad luck. I don't use a case on my Mi 9 with no issues. The back is all scratched up, but no cracks.

Got my pixel 7 today and these protectors. I'm having some issues with my fingerprint not registering 60% of the time. It also took forever to get fingerprints registered since it kept failing. I haven't tried it without the screen protector though. Let me know if you have any issues too.

I've always had a good experience with Spigen Glas.tR.

Interesting. Yeah, it's really finicky for me. I did register the fingerprints with the protector already on.

I am going to try these, as they have the hydro/oleophobic coating...

Small update on my predicament. The sensor seems to be working fine now. Earlier, my hands were dry. After warming them up and using moisturizer, it has been reading prints easily. Though, I've never had this issue with other devices.

I put an "IQ Shield" Matte protector on my 7 last night and have so far had about 98% fingerprint success on the first time with faster than I expected response. It was a "wet" install, but went on nicely without bubbles or dust, and I love not having a glossy screen reflecting the overhead lights back into my eyeballs.
I did wait to register fingerprints until I had the protector in place.
Only issue is that I ordered from Amazon and they shipped me a 1-pack. The listing and photo on Amazon showed a photo of the box stating "2-pack" and the listing title also said "2-pack". I contacted the seller via Amazon and they first tried to tell me that I ordered a 1-pack but that the lifetime replacement warranty would allow me to get a replacement if I had an issue with the install or edges peeling.
So I sent them a screenshot of the listing showing that I had "previously ordered" it and that both the photo and title clearly stated it was a 2-pack. Then they told me they had some type of packaging and shipping error, and would send me a replacement 2-pack order, so at least there's that.
I would recommend the screen protector so far, based on the install process and final result. Hopefully it will hold up well and provide good protection. (Have used similar ones on other phones and tablets in the past, though it seems it's getting harder to find matte options these days.)

Anyone using skinomi? I like the antiglare version I have for my v30, wondering if the pixel version gets in the way of the fingerprint scanner.

The following seems to work quite well with the FP sensor - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088H7BPBQ.
However, despite being an old hand at fitting SPs, I really struggled to fit without any bubbles...
I have had to order a 2nd pack because I had to lift the corner one too many times to remove all bubbles - which I finally managed to do - but now the corner won't stay stuck down!
I should point out I did not register my FPs until I had applied the SP. All worked well, until I had to install a security update, and then suddenly all FPs failed again - just would not work. Had to re-register and I now see a 80% hit rate for the past two days.

Stay away this on Amazon. It's for a Pixel 6. All they did was list it as fitting a Pixel 7 and threw on a sticker over the old pixel 6 sticker. Had to send back.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YRP2MQ3
I snagged these a few days before my phone arrived (and before there were any reviews), this way I could put a protector on as soon as I took the phone out of the box. Unfortunately, I got what I paid for. The protectors don't cover the entire screen and the fingerprint sensor works maybe 40% of the time. Stay away from them.

I went with the same screen protectors I've used since my Pixel 3XL. They're made by LK and are as good of quality as any other screen protector I've tried. Reason I stick with them is they offer a lifetime warranty. Literally anytime I've broken one, I take a photo of it and email it to their customer service and they send me a coupon for another full replacement order. Basically I buy one package and have a lifetime supply of replacements for no additional cost. Pretty impossible to argue against that and the process has always been extremely straightforward and reliable. Worth looking at in my opinion.

I receive my Pixel 7 tomorrow so I'll report back as soon as I get it and the screen protectors. If you look at the Amazon link they even suggest setting the "Increase touch sensitivity" option in settings. At this point I'd say it's safe to assume all screen protectors for the 7/7 Pro might suffer from this fingerprint issue/fingerprint unreliability.

I haven't ordered mine yet but I saved these potential screen protectors in amazon cart before deciding which to buy. I'm also lost on which screen protector is worth getting for pixel 7.

I kinda like the liquid UV light types of screen protectors when watching youtube videos, i see that these offer a very high transparency compared to adhesive screen protectors. I am wondering if there are any either on amazon or not on amazon worth getting. Let me know your thoughts!

No issues with Fingerprint reader.
Also all tempered glasses have eventually broken for me and the film over time just wears out (not smooth anymore) so neither is perfect.
I didn't Increase touch sensitivity. it's already good.
