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.
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.
I have installed Xposed and Sensor Disabler and have disabled the proximity sensor since I was guessing that it was that causing the error. But screen still goes black the second I call and stays black. Only way I can get it on is if called person hangs up or if I double tap the screen on button many times and then if I'm very lucky the screen turns on but easily turns black again very quickly.. What am I missing here?
old issue. Look for proximity sensor issue / failure. Happens with aftermarket screens, but also because of the ****ty sandwhich construction of the phone. There is about one mm friction possible for the frame, which leads to the slowly letting loose of the screen. Have a Z3 compact like that. tried glueing (B 7000 glue) but still. I can see the light inbetween frame and screen. Only a hardcover can possibly maybe prevent this screen from dis-attaching itsself from the frame. I rooted mine as to try disabling the proximity sensor, but I also failed doing that. I actually bought a Z1 compact again. Easy to fix. Thats why I thought the Z3 compact would be an upgrade. Well its not. Its build-quality is a nightmare. And repair also sucks. I even bought a screen plus frame new, and after installation I already saw space between the frame and the screen. Can't sell mine. Its useless. Stay away from this model. very, very bad.
I replaced the screen on my phone a few weeks back and earlier today the screen was lifting so I removed it to re adhesive it. The screen was working perfectly fine before hand however now it is not giving a display signal. Me touching the screen still gives feedback but nothing on the display. The screen was on the same table as where I dismantled it. The screen had a bit of adhesive down the side of I used some 80% alcohol hand sanitiser to help remove it. Refit the screen and their is no display, been a fair few hours and still nothing. Swapped broken screen in and their is no display on that one either, Pls advise what could be the issue and how I could recover data as there is a password on the device.
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing screen bleeding issue on the left edge, with dark mode on. I'm able to notice that whenever opening Youtube app (with dark theme) specially during night time. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Typically I've heard of screen bleeding in LCD screens. Surprised to notice that on an AMOLED...
Does it have like a little slit at the left side when properly place under light? Mine has. So worried a little splash of water can go inside.
