Hi, since I got up this morning the screen of my Note 10.1 has a white halo on it.
Do you think it's a hardware fault? New screens sadly cost double what a used note 10.1 would cost, but maybe its just a loose connector?
Its flickering and getting worse the more contrast it has to display.
Anyone have seen something like this before
That must be a mechanical defect. Probably someone sat or laid in the Note. One of the two glass plates or the rear polarizer have been bent in a concave ir convex shape.
Can also be caused by excessive heat, like on the small lcd in my car dashboard, where a similar phenomenon has started to occur more and more often and in a more severe manner recently, caused by sun exposure and the car's heater and disapperaing when cooling down.
Or delamination of the gapless touchscreen. Now there is a gap on the outsides.
Thx for the reply. I have the tablet hanging on the wall, using it as an interface for my home assistant, so the screen is on pretty much 24/7.
Therefore i can't really imagine that there was too much pressure on the screen at any time and heating up could've maybe happened if it locked up during the night, but that hasn't really happend ever and in the morining it was running just normal, except for the screen. The sun can't really get to it either.
Well good thing is the problem fixed itself. The affected area started getting smaller and smaller and the effect also lessend over time. About 2-3 days it took.
Maybe there was some moisture inside it or something idk
Something had snapped or bent from and then back into shape.
I'd suggest that it was heat related, bootlooping while charging,probably.
I could trace such with the history of my battery monitor app(complete with temps and for as long as i set the the range), but the course graph of the system battery monitor could have have provided hints, too. But that's long gone now.
My very first Android device was a tablet, that once too many went into a bootloop. During charging AND during the time of the exploding Galaxy Notes. The whole surface (metal and glass) had the same temperature, no more hotspots, and was almost too hot to touch(50c at least).
I'm not sure whether the screen was discolored, there was only the small boot logo on black, but i immediately threw the thing into the bin outside, display still glowing in the dark.
This is really dangerous when the device is connected to the mains and the surroundings not fire resistant.
In the meantime the battery of my P605 started to blow up.
Middle of backside and even touchscreen are bent outwards.
But the display is still fine, though this kind of malfunction could happen to me later.
Will get a replacement battery. The original one from 2013 still has more than 50% capacity, but is much thicker now...

Well,i noticed some odd behavior the other day with my phone laying on my desk at work. It was completely unresponsive. So I was just fooling around, laying the phone on my bed, same thing. I realized that unless my other hand is touching the phone, the screen is unresponsive. Think this is some sort of grounding issue? It isn't a big deal, but I have never had this problem on other phones. Anyone else have this problem? Try sitting it flat on a desk without touching the body of the phone and see if the touch screen functions.

Dont quote me on this but i read on how touch screens work and it basicly like you said the screen has a charge and when you touch it it slightly changes the charge and thats how the cpu monitors the change and tells the screen to act the way it does. But i am not sure why the screen gets less responsive when your not holding it in your hand. It happens with my G2 and my G1 so nothing new but maybe some one can actually explain what is going on.
Fear the static
The answer is quite simple; it's cooler outside so there is less humidity in the air. With lower humidity you have a higher static charge on your body (hence why you can zap someone more easily in the winter than the summer). Since the screen is capacitive (relies on small changes in the charge on the top surface to know where you are touching it) and you have a larger charge on your body, the digitizer sees it more like you bringing three or four fingers in close proximity to one spot. The reason putting both hands on it works is because you now give the digitizer a reference charge to distinguish and ignore.
TL;DR - Winter static makes screen think you are ham-fisting it.
Solution - use hand lotion to help dissipate your body's static charge from your fingertips, just don't use so much that you end up leaving greasy streaks on your screen. If you do, wipe the excess off of your hands with paper towels until you don't have lint tracks in your hand, TP is good for this.

I can confirm this "issue" or behavoir. It happened to my phone exactly like u described. I dont know if this is a common thing for capacitive devices or not but it does happen to me.
Oh well, i guess i should stop being lazy and pick up my phone lol.

I 2nd that statement and a +1 on solution with lotion! lol
Now i will begin to tell my gf how the Screen isnt HEAT sensitive and why during the winter time with cold hands it responds differently.
i did notice this behavior the other day, and to be perfectly honest it scared the tar out of me, but then as soon as i picked the phone up it was fine again. i guess you really do learn something new every day, i always thought the capacitive screen reacted to heat, but i guess not.

****, do I have to go buy hand lotion now? Anyway, thanks a lot.
Does all capasitive screens react like this are some phones just more prone to it?
Hi,
Some time after buying my gnex it was charging on my computer desk with the USB hooked up, the cable got tangled in my chair and when I went to get the door, it slingled the phone across the room.
Luckily I couldn't detect any visual or functional defect, but after a while I noticed that if I apply some pressure to the lower left part of the device, on the screen, there is like a creaking noise, as if I can move the screen around a fraction of a mm inside the housing. I can also flex the screen when applying pressure on the top right of the screen where the front facing camera is.
Probably happened from the fall or do others have this?
I also have this very rare graphics glitch, when swiping homescreens, only happens when going from one particular homescreen with gmail widget to the one with the calendar widgt, there is like a tear in it, only lasts for a split second.
Sounds like the screen got loose when it flung across the room I don't have that issue with mine call for a replacement say its been like that since day 1
My girlfriend owns this phone, and put it on her dresser overnight. In the morning she found it in the exact same position, but there was a crack going horizontal along the screen, causing the bottom half to not work.
How does a phone crack like that overnight without being touched?
She claims that when using this phone that it often gets extremely hot to the touch when plugged in. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I've read that it is some kind of defect caused by heating and cooling cycles. or it could be that the battery itself puffed up and cracked your screen.
This Gorrila Glass fibre has these dealbreaker issues, it mostly happens due to the following reason : Upon gaming and/or charging, the upper half may get extremely hot and the lower half remains normal and takes relatively more time compared to the upper half to change its temperature. This regional temperature difference when sufficiently high causes tension and it gets cracked. DO NOT keep the phone at cool surface when it gets hot, heat is NOT the culprit, but the temperature difference is. You may keep it on soft cloth or a relatively warm place in future.
My HTC One (M8) started to have flickering screen issues a few days back, sometimes the screen wouldn't turn on, occasionally it would turn on, but it was barely noticeable, because the backlight didn't turn on. I realized that slightly bending (no extreme force, of course) would influence the behavior: Top left, bottom right as pressure points makes the screen work, top right, bottom left makes it stop working. Similarly applying pressure on the sides (the middle of the lower half, roughly) makes the screen not work. It looks like it might just be a loose connection somewhere? Anybody have a tip for what to do about it?
And now the screen doesn't turn on at all anymore. I guess that was expected. I googled around a bit and it seems like the company doing repairs for HTC in Austria is shady and known for blaming things on mechanical or water damage (the phone fell down, but that was about six month ago, and except for a few scratches on the metal nothing happened).
Does anyone have an idea if this might just be a loose contact somewhere that I could fix by myself?
Alright guys, I need help. I purchased my device right at the launch day. After a month, I accidentally dropped it badly, and even after it had tempered glass at the time (didn't have bumper) the screen got cracked along with tampered glass. Device was new at the time and I didn't want to spend another 100 bucks for display. And it wasn't that much badly damaged either, so I could live with it.
Fast forwarding to this date, after 2-3 months, the device was lying on the bed. A minute before it was working completely fine, but now it's display is dead! It was just lying there and there was no damage done whatsoever.
LEDs, charging, everything works just as fine, but the display shows some random greenish strips at random places when I press power key to turn it on.
Now, earlier accident was not covered under warranty, but this is definitely not my fault. If I take it to care center, how can I convince them that the screen did not die because of accident and that the accident was 2 months before.
Kind regards
try to heat down and the bottom of the screen. sometimes helps for amoled display if there isn't any visual damage to actual screen under glass.

Like I said, there are 2-3 cracks on screen as well when it was dropped earlier.
