Dust under the screen - is it a normal issue with smartphones or Xiaomi? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I just received my Redmi Note 5 Pro few days back and took some moment to analyse the phone yesterday and found that 2 places under the screen have dust particles! I thought it might be a special case but then found out my older redmi 5 have about 4 dust particles under the screen! Is this normal? I suggest you set your screen brightness to the highest level and open a white page before analysing your screen and report back. Thanks

if it has dust under the screen go to service centre.... if its between temper glass and screen it womt do much

my phone didnt have any dust under the screen , but built quality on mine was terrible , there was a light showing up on the side of the screen (between the glass digitizer and screen frame) when using the phone in dark environment . and of course the famous multitouch issue .

One X screen very prone to scratches

Hi,
I have got my One X for about 2 weeks now and there are multiple micro-scrathes on its screen already... (some of them are covering half of the screen). They are only visible when the screen is off and under certain lighting and angle, but it is quite annoying - I am worried how would the screen look like after a couple of months.
I am very careful with the phone and never keep it in my pocket with any other items. I have got HD2 previously for almost 3 years and with the same usage pattern its screen hasn't got a single scratch.
I suspect it is not Gorilla Glass that gets scratched, but some kind of coating (oleophobic?) on the screen.
Is your experience similar?
Dude there something with the screen.Its sh1t. i dropped the phone yesterday from my bed and on the right top of the screen there is a brake on the screen and some scratches too.I had Galaxy S and i dropped it several times and from higher position than bed and non a single scratch i dont mention the ****ing brake.i am already thinking replacing the digitizer .its a fuking new phone its not that i have problem with the broke as long my lcd is working but u know what i mean
was the swearing necessary?
replacing the glass is hard- the screen and lcd are apparently attached and spare parts are expensive, let alone the effort required to disassemble the phone (as the m/board etc are attached directly to the screen)
the screen is also laminated - maybe this coating is getting scratched? i don't know exactly what laminated glass is, just what it achieves.
Its necessary when they say Gorilla Glass should be Gorilla Glass.Its the same screen as galaxy s.Anyway i am afraid removing the digitizer would damage the LCD too by accident and the problem will be larger. so i am not quite ready to do that.i can live with a scratch
Sorry to hear your dramas with the phone.
I have mine now over a month.
I use a flip leather case now, but had none for the first two weeks and I use my phone a lot but with no screen protector and I don't have any scratches on it.
You must have hit something with sharp edges hard.
I had a SG2, never had a screen protector and was exposed as I didn't use a flip case. It never got any major scrathes, but hundreds of tiny ones that could be scene in the right light only.
This is a much better glass in my opinion.
Hope you are able to fix yours without too much trouble.
Cheers.
I too have many minor scratches, it does not hinder its use so I'm alright with it, I was but no longer using the HTC branded flip case that phones4u have me when I upgraded. Offers no protection and is clumsy to answer phone quickly lol.

I have noticed these micro-scratches too (funny I googled HTC One X micro scratches and this page came up). I haven't dropped my phone and I haven't put it in my pocket with anything else. At first I only noticed them in the sun, but now I can see them indoors as well. You have to turn the display off and hold it at an angle to see the scratches, but they are there.
Today i returned mine after 2 weeks it had a scratch in the midle on the screen and it was visible when the screen is off...
I hope they replace it i dont whant to have a scrached phone that costs 700 euro and is suposed to have gorila glass.
And i havent droped it or put it in my pocket with other items.

Are you sure they are scratches? I noticed something similar on my HOX the other day and thought I'd scratched it at first, but the whole screen seems to have that pattern and it's far too regular to be tiny scratches. I think it's part of the screen (digitiser?) as scratches wouldn't look so regular.
Think I have a few on mine now...not gonna get too beet up about it, it's only a phone and will probably be swapping it for something else in six months..... Which will probably get scratched too, lol.

Wow I'm really surprised when I read these posts
My story I had my one x in my pocket no case or screen protector and was in a rush for the bus and just chucked my coins in my pocket not realising it was the same pocket my one x was in and ran for the bus only when I went to get my coins that I realised my phone had been bouncing around with the coins in my pocket like a washing machine while I was running
Subsequently I almost scrapped myself thinking I've commited the ultimate sin I expected to see a crapload of scratches
To my disbelief besides a couple of light scratches on the polycarbonate back that just rubbed off the screen was fine I remember think what?! That can't be right and for the whole bus ride I was furiously examining the screen, holding it on an angle in the light to try and detect even the most minor of scratches and still found nothing ever since then I couldn't stop praising the screen on the one x
The camera lens was also scratch free but I'm thinking that was just sheer luck

Guys I am forced to believe HTC isn't using Gorilla Glass on all models.. I had the Thailand version and it scratched crazy easy. I now have the HTC ONE XL and i can take a key to it..
I have two minor (about 5mm in length) hairline scratches on mine. Inspected my screen at an angle with powerful flashlight just to barely notice them after having read this thread.
I'm not going to be bothered by those, but I am going to do an occasional inspection and if I notice a trend I'll put a screen protector on.
I have some screen protectors for the phone and even applied one, but tore it off immediately because the bare screen is much better to the touch and does not have that stupid rainbow effect the protector had.

Get a screen-protector ! I did as soon as I got my phone, why risk it

Yeah, these are definitively legitimate scrathes, very irregular, there is no pattern.
They seem to get worse and worse every day...
A $2 dollar screen protector would have prevented this. Just saying.

I am tired of reading about problems in HOX. I start to think I have another phone no one x. I have it 1.5 month. I have no problem at all.
I am not using screen protector and case. Just a poutch.
Twice I had drop it from the base of the car and hit the screen in different places. No problem.
Usually I put in my pocket without the poutch. There is no scratch on the screen and polycarbonate.

[Q] Need help for seperating the frong glass from the screen

Hello everyone,
I have a Note 2 which has witnessed frong glass changes twice and whole screen change once (thank you, sister). The problem is, the last time I needed the whole screen replacement, I bought it 2nd hand from a guy who was either using dead phones' working screens or the ones he fixed.
Apperiantly my new screen is coming among those have been fixed. Because the screen is not correctly aligned to the outer glass. As it's a white phone I can easily see black frames (which are the areas of screen but no pixels there) are not equal when the screen is on. One more thing; my front camera is blurry and the notification LED is glowing a "half-circle". Other than that no problems there.
So my intention is; I want to seperate them and clean the adhesive completely so the camera and LED will be clean and I will be able to re-allign the glass to the screen.
My questions are;
1) How can I clean the whole adhessive without harming the screen
2) What can I re-attach the screen with? I think that Optic Clear Adhesives need Otoglav Machines and they are probably more expensive than a brand new Note 2 I am open to any suggestions about this material..
Thanks
No one?

Need some advice

I am having an issue, My phone for a while now loses responsiveness along a section of the screen from time to time (see attached image)
Recently it fell and that issue has become more or less permanent with the strip not showing any responsiveness most of the time and the entire screen not responding from time to time.
I was hoping someone can help me decide which of these 2 items I should buy to fix the issues since all the test I've run using screen calibration/testing apps show no signs of dead pixels and the screen itself has no cracks or anything that suggest the LCD is damaged. I'm currently on CM11 M8 and using developers options I've turned on the "show screen touches". this showed that from time to time there are constant touches on the right hand side of the black area between the white shown in the image.
Also if i'm in say whatsapp the send button falls exactly on that (right hand side) resulting in messages/voicenotes being sent before i finish. Do you think I have to buy 1 or 2
1. Full LCD Display + Touch Screen Glass Digitizer Lens Assembly for HTC One X
or
2. Touch Screen Glass Digitizer Lens Replacement for HTC One X
Would post the ebay links but i'm not not being allowed

Screen Flickering and banding

As I destroyed the original LCD I replaced the screen with a cheap one from AliExpress (it costs me 25$) .
The original LCD had the same Issues:
-Screen flickering sometimes on dark backgrounds
-Screen banding
(sometimes)
I also have to mention that the screen cable is slightly folded as it was too long to reach the motherboard,
but correct me if I am wrong I don't think this is a screen issue anymore...
! UPDATE!
I've discovered that when a shade of gray and white is shown screen flickers on those shade's

I have that problem too. I have a new screen coming. I find the more I use the phone the better it is. If it sits unused. Like over night it gets worse. I let one of those pixel fixer apps run overnight. That helps some. It's only when black color hits a certain spot on the screen.

On thing to note is that the replacement hasn't got gorilla Glass protection so you definitely gonna need a screen protector.
Also I found the battery removal process a bit harder than I expected.
Try not to pry it out as it's very easy to puncture , there's a pull tab tape underneath the battery cable. It would be tricky at first but once you get it pull it away from the phone and keep it as flat and wide as possible.

I followed these two guide's:
My new screen goes flickering again, but after I keep it off for about a week (while adapting to my Redmi 3), I found that the flickering stop, for now.

Hey bru, here is a temporary solution. Pls download in playstore. Search overlay-float everywhere.
Use it to make a dummy overlay. Then you turn its color to white and place it at the boundary of flickering screen. The place where your normal screen ends and flickering starts, right at that place put the white overlay. I got this idea by observing that the flickering finishes if the screen turns white, but its just the area where flickering is happening that matters. keep that white at all times and flickering wont happen. This overlay app allows you to do that. I hope this will help you, too. ?
credit where i got the idea about this app.
Replaced the screen. Success! So far everything is good.

Question Z FOLD 3 INNER SCREEN CRACKS..

So, recently my z fold 3 developed some small Cracks on the inner screen along the "CREASE". It's more than a year of use and now it's not under the warranty. It seems to be a common problem as these folding screen have a limited lifespan..
What to do..??
Are you unfold in temperatures below 0 degrees celcius?
If you are cracks so only possible is replace screen, use like this for full damage or sold like broken and buy new device.

Just check it's not the factory fitted screen protector that's not cracked. Mine cracked after ~12 months.
This can be removed and the screen has been fine since (>2 months now)
No man.. I removed the screen protector long time ago when the factory fitted screen protector started to intake bubbles along the crease.. after using it for a while I removed the screen protector and now I can discover new tiny cracks in every 2-3 days... it feels the screen will break in half if this continues..
You removed the Screen Protector and now you complain, that the screen developped some cracks? and now you want to know, what to do?
It's easy: Send it in for repair or dispose your device and buy a new one ...

Thats a shame. I agree with the post above, I think cold temperatures make them more susceptible.

You HAVE TO when it bubbles up, because it traps dirt and actually cracks the screen early. The screen protector doesn't protect from cracks forming in the crease of the display.
Samsung under fire as Galaxy Z Fold 3 screens crack for no reason at all after warranty expires
Multiple Galaxy Z Fold 3 users are complaining about a cracked internal display even though their phone sustained no trauma.
www.phonearena.com
Bigger case
My inner screen protector went bonkers about a week or two before 1 yr warranty expired last August....contacted Samsung and they sent me to a place to have a new screen protector installed (no fee). The person didn't do a good job, had a few bubbles.....I eventually traded it in to Samsung at the time the ZFold4 came out. Hope inner screen protector lasts longer.
The same crack happened to me as well.
I had to remove the screen protector after 6 month because it started to peel at the crease, trapping dust under it.
Two month after warranty expired, the screen cracked internally in the middle.
Our local samsung dealer claim that I broke the screen though no damage can be seen.
Someone should put a class action against samsung. It seems that everyone who purchased a samsung foldable device, will join the claim.
