When running through text screens in the bootloader it appears that the screen has "sharp" corners but withing Android it appears to have "rounded" corners. Is this hardware or software?
Just curious...
seems to be hardware

doos anyone experience a screen gap where the top layer is 1-2mm away from the resistive layer? creating a spoungy feeling. i had this on my last tp2 and had it replaced bit am looking for any crazy home made solutions for my newer one :s
There's no solution because this isn't a problem per se. It's a characteristic of all resistive touch screens.

fair comments, but its untrue imo.
both tp2's i have had have not had this when i first received them - they both felt like capacitive screens the 2 layers were so close. it is a problem that has developed over a few weeks.
With any resistive screen, you're going to be able to feel the screen flex, especially in areas farthest from the border. This is even more noticable with large screen devices like our TP2 and the Touch HD. There's no way around it. (Our screen is basically 2 thin layers one on top of the other. The screen registers a tap in the area where these 2 layers are pushed together)
That being said, the screen flex should be noticable but not so extreme that it feels uncomfortable to use. If it's unusable, you should return it.
Just out of curiousity, do any of your screens have a kind of bounce or mushy feel to them when you press on them? I look at mine from the side and there is clearly a movement up and down when I push on it. I also have the screen protector on it too, but that should be firmly emplaced. It looks like from looking at it side on at the center of the screen is sort of unattached whenever I depress on it. Is this normal?
Same here
My mesage should not be to short to post now BOARD
It's perfectly normal that your touchscreen dips a little when pressed on; In fact, that's how resistive touchscreens work. From Wikipedia:
Resistive touchscreens are composed of two flexible sheets coated with a resistive material and separated by an air gap or microdots. When contact is made to the surface of the touchscreen, the two sheets are pressed together, registering the precise location of the touch. Because the touchscreen senses input from contact with nearly any object (finger, stylus/pen, palm) resistive touchscreens are a type of "passive" technology.

It seems to happen on all phones where the screen is on a slider. I've seen it on the Fuze and Kaiser, too.

i think the OP is about the screen itself, not the top half of the phones. the screen thing is inherent and i've got no issue with that, but a shifty sliding mechanism is annoying, though not present on my tp2

Yeah, however, I would have thought the screen would have been a little tighter in terms of it's air gap between the resistive layer and the LCD itself. I used to have an 8525 and there was never the kind of airgap between the touch screen and the LCD at all. With this there is a noticable gap in the touch screen layer to the LCD. Especially in the middle. I just would have thought it would have been a flatter tighter stretched across the screen.
Hi,
My physical buttons were barely working, so after I done a little searching, I used a flex remover on them. The buttons are now fixed, however I forgot my common sense and didn't cover the screen. Now I have a white band on the lower part of the screen. It's like a transparent shape, and it's only observable on bright colors. Any suggestions on how could I fix it?
So far my new zenwatch has been great. However, I have noticed in a couple apps such as Multi Calculator for wear, that buttons at the bottom like . and at the top like ac/c don't respond very well. Then I noticed that throughout the entire watch interface, the top and bottom 1/4 of the screen (not the bezel) are entirely unresponsive to touch. I wanted to see if this was a defect or possibly a byproduct of that curved glass not allowing the capacitive sensor to extend beyond that middle portion of the screen. Does anyone else notice this?
I've mostly been marking it up to bad aim on my part but it seems to me that I often miss touches in the upper right corner. Too soon to tell if it's the watch or just my shakiness.
Yeah I thought my aim was off too. Try dragging from the top on the watch face screen. You'll notice it actually starts to pull it down a few millimeters from the top. I was hoping it was a defect so I could just exchange it but my fear is that they all do it and it is not fixable via software.
I agree that the first couple of millimeters of the actual screen don't respond but nowhere near 1/4 of it.
I notice this on my zenwatch after using an lg g watch, g watch r and moto 360 all side by side. The zenwatch also seams less accurate on thing nlike minuum keyboard and generally with scrolling. I suspect a cheaper less accurate digitizer has been used?
On mine I can hit the topmost part of the screen, the bottom, and all corners. I turned on "Show touches" in the developer options to make sure it registers where im touching. If you test it that way, you can see if its a defective screen or just accuracy issues.
I recently acquired a Galaxy Note 8.0 SGH1467 in immaculate condition. After using it for about 1 week there appeared an irregularly shaped 'bubble' at the top right of the screen. It is clear, the LCD image is perfectly visible, unaffected, touch function works. It is annoying and puzzling.
Just curious to know how is it possible for a 'bubble' to form between a LOCA bonded digitizer and the LCD? And it took 6 years?
Perhaps this tab digitizer has been replaced without using LOCA?
I would appreciate your insights and suggestions. Thank you.
Bubble
Update. Definitely an air bubble. I noticed that if I placed the Tab in an upright vertical position, the bubble would rise to the top and almost disappear. Once again...how is it possible for an air bubble to form in or above LOCA? I notice it takes a nuclear weapon to remove the LOCA from an LCD when replacing a cracked digitizer...been here. Make it even more difficult to understand how a bubble can penetrate that stuff..
My digitizer is cracked and I have small but stationary bubbles on the top of the screen. They're not bothering me
