how many of yall nexus s screens have scratches

Debating on getting a screen protector my screen
Has a couple of very small scratches on the screen but u cant really see theme on less u tilt the phone and look really close I don't know how they got there cause I
Put my phone straight into the pocket maybe the couple of times I drooped it but there not even noticeable

None. I use a screen protector because it gets rid of the smudge where the coating wears out.

I've got ghost armor on my screen, but I have some dings on the four corners of the plastic surrounding the screen. I really like the ghost armor though.

Is that why my screen is sweating cause the coding on the screen is coming off

i have a lot of scratches on my display, unfortunately i can't find a fitting screen protector for my i9023...they are all for the i9020, which is of a different size...

Phone bought in december, never used a case or a screen protector, and no scratches on the screen

None and i dont have a screen protector. Got scratches on the side where my nexus fell out of my pocket and hit concrete floor. Was so happy that it didnt drop on its screen

I don't im going get one u can barley see theme

I keep mine in my old G1 pouch. I work in construction and am constantly blowing sawdust and random debris out of the pouch and off of the phone. Luckily though, the handset is still completely scratch-free... somehow.
*knocks wood*

None. Using Skinomi (front and back).

Yes, i9020a to be specific. As far as I know there is no difference between the screen size of a SLCD and AMOLED. The length and width are the same. If you go to ZAGG, Skinomi, Bestskinsever or any other brand there is only one screen protector for the Nexus S and it's not specific to any one variant (i9020, i9023, etc).

i bought a zagg as soon as my phone came. I also bought a TPU case on ebay but the case leaves micro scratched on the back of the phone

Strange marks appearing on screen

I've had my TF300T for a little over two weeks now and I have notice some strange marks appearing on the screen.
At first I thought it might have been scratches because I didn't have a screen protector, but I have never put anything on top of the glass or put it flat down. I have the keyboard dock and have always put it back and closed it to keep it safe.
I first noticed a little bit of creaking toward the middle and top of the left hand side.
I was cleaning my screen last week and I noticed some very small arks about 1-2mm each going down the left hand side in what seemed like a row. Worried I might have scratched it I went and bought some screen protectors and applied one immediately. However today I have noticed that some of the marks have started to appear over the right hand side. Now I know they are not scratches because it is under the screen protector and they were not there last week when I applied it.
They are very small, and look like tiny cracks and you can only see them under certain light conditions. But the strange thing is they are all going in the same direction.
I have attached a picture I just knocked up in photoshop to give you an idea of what they look like. They are not this obvious on my tablet but it's just an illustration.
Should I be worried?

If you're using the dock, are the keys scratching it?

Screen is not flat

I got my note 4 for 1.5 week now and today i saw something very very odd.
The screen was off and i saw the reflection of a ceiling lightbulb in my screen and what i noticed was that at a certain spot the reflection gets deformed! like you would push too hard on the screen and you'd push that section a little deeper.
I tried to capture a photo but that didnt really work out as the camera is blinded by the reflection. It looks like the glass just isnt completely flat , like when its still liquid and cooling down you'd put your finger on it to make an indent..
Its located in the middle heightwise and about 2/3rd to the right side. I've never ever seen this before, only with my ipod touch 4g i could push the glass and it would change reflections (so it kinda bent a little bit) but it came back to how it should be when pressure was released.
I've been very careful so i have no idea how this could have occured.. should i bring it back to the store or something?

I'm not really sure what you are describing but sounds like a defect. Better try returning it before you cant.

Return it before it's too late. That spot could be ripe for problems down the road when you've run out of warranty (ie weakness in the glass.)

Mine's the same. Almost like it has ripples but only noticable when the screen's off and I look at a bright light reflected in it.
I assumed it was normal . . . Perhaps due to the 2.5D (or whatever it's called) glass production. Doesn't seem to make any difference to the display or to touch sensitivity.
Anyone else have this?

Vey vey slight ripple on mine, but it's still considered normal. 2.5D is the rounded feature at the edges of the screen where it meets the metal rim.

yea mine isnt noticeable when the screen is on, only when looking at bright reflections. I'm going to the store just so they can notice it too and maybe write it on my warranty or something

Mine isn't flat either! Remember my Galaxy Note 10.1 had a similar problem but it was only on the back cover... having the same problem on the front side is totally unacceptable to me and I will return it tomorrow!!
Problem must be that components underneath the screen is sticking up too much.

Capacitive icons instead of dashes

Does anyone know more information about this particular oddity? My oneplus 2 has a triangle (left) and square (right) as the capacitive icons instead of dashes.
Tried looking up for images but to no avail.
Mine is the A2001 model (China, 4gb 64gb), and yes custom ROMs and everything works as it should, so it isn't a clone. It being the A2001 model makes even less sense as h2os' back button is the right instead of the left
I'll try to upload some pics when I get home later in the night

this indeed, is peculiar, where did you buy it from ?
awaiting images.

Do you mean on-screen buttons? Or the actual capacitive ones?

Sorry for the late post, and no it isn't the on screen buttons

Anyways does anyone have any info on this? Or if anyone has this too?
I got this from a friend of mine, someone traded it in to his store.

Maybe the Display glas was replaced or there is a tempered glass screen protector on it which has this symbols carved in or something.

As far as I know it's screen wasn't replaced, and I had only just placed the tempered glass a couple weeks ago and it has nothing to do with it.

Did you try reaching out to oneplus or visiting their service center?. May be this was part of initial batch of test phones. Or something like that.

Weird! Hey just curious.... If you use a ROM which allows button swapping, do the symbols swap as well? ...or just the functions?

There's obviously a tempered glass screen protector on top of the original one... remove it to uncover the light source underneath...

The icons don't swap, it's just shaped that way instead of dashes.

I had mentioned it was like that before I placed the tempered glass myself. I'm the one who placed it so I'm positive it wasn't some custom framed glass. I'll post more pics on this, as I could make out the square icon even if it isn't lit up.

Here's some more pictures
P. S Square icon is easier to spot under the right light, not so with the triangle icon

Custom made OP2. Ahh

I ordered a replacement LCD from China and thats also what I got, so im positive your screen has been replaced before.

Hahaha looks like its probably a manufactory bug, they could make the glass by some mistake with this instead the - . If I would be you I would let it as it is is one of a kind. Also it coudl happed like previous post says. The glass was replaced but not by original OnePlus 2 parts.

White border under glass. (S7 Edge Black Pearl)

Has anyone (especially those who own Black Pearl colour) exprenced this (first picture).
At first I thought it's just some dust but when I washed my phone and looked closely, it's actually something under the glass which looks like a cheap temepered glass's border (second picture).
The difference is only some parts of them are in white, the rest are beautiful in black (or transparent?).
It doesn't affect waterproof or anything but still triggers me a lot. Is this normal ?

This looks totally normal, it looks like dust build up in the slight gap between the tempered glass and screen itself or the space between the screen and body in some chase.. this is usually noticeable on black phones.

So U are saying that upon close inspection it looks like it's under the glass?
If so, I can confirm that it may be possible, because I'm having that issue. I have a silver titanium model, and on the upper side, it seems that the silver paint doesn't go all the way to the edge on the front glass, so I am able to see the glue that holds the glass.

I'm pretty sure it's not the dust because I even sink the phone in water.

it is just dust and dirt build up, I don't find it alarming, you can still show it to a repairer to be sure..
