Hi there!
Is anyone here having problem with the left and right side of the screen? When I slide my finger on the screen to the outside of the phone then I feel under my fingertip that the screen is a little bit under the body and with my fingertip I hook up some plastic part which seems to be between screen and aluminum body.
I hope I explained the problem
Anyone with the same issue? Is this a hardware issue or just stupidity of the HTC engineers?
Have you thought that this may have been done by design?
For those that put their phone screen down the screen is slightly raised off the surface thus not getting scratched......
mine is the same... i believe it's the design so you don't scratch the screen when it is face down
I prefer not putting the phone down the screen rather then having this unconformable feeling when I move finger on the screen...
Solution: Get like 3 or 4 screen protectors and lay them all on top of the screen at once. The thickness should bring them in line with the plastic rim and your fingers will no longer have to suffer the horrific feeling of a 0.2mm plastic ridge
My physical glass/plastic screen seems to be stuck further down on the top left and bottom right corners making it slant upwards to the other corners. I push the top right down and it seems to feel loose.
Is this what your issue is? because this is whats happening with mine.

I think one should be enough.

I have one, did the trick.
I think it's by design too, it's not a problem unless you make it one.

My HD2 was developing an issue with it's screen, white patches were appearing. So I sent it off to O2 to be repaired, and while the problem has been fixed, it's been returned with a non-glass screen with no diamond shaped etching on it like I had on the original.
Anyone else had this?
what do you mean by diamond shaped etching? and is it still multitouch?
If you look closely on the HD2, the screen has fine diagonal lines etched on the glass which cross making what appears to be diamond shapes on the screen. The screen on mine isn't glass now, it's plastic and those fine lines aren't there. I was just wondering if anyone else had had a repair and had the same thing happen.
It is still mutlitouch. I'm just trying to decide if I should complain.

Are there any other notable differences? Is it more easily scratched, less transparent, more reflective, etc.?
If so, then yes, you should definitely complain.
as plastic is alot more prone to scratches, i would complain...

I understand this must be really annoying for you, but tbh I find it really interesting.
Is your new screen still capacitive? Does a normal stylus or other object still work on it? (ie. is it still resistive?)
I never realised you could get multitouch plastic screens....
i would definitely file a complain. you bought your hd2 with a glass screen and its weird that its plastic. yes there are diamond shaped etchings in the glass screen.
so all capacitive screens should be glass covered? hmm... interesting.

I had mine repaired and yes, the lines seem to be gone. I think this has to do with the improved hardware and not because its plastic.
f*ck that. complain, you bought the hd2 and you want it back the same way you bought it.
WHOA!
This is either a HUGE insight to something about the amount of screen blotches being received.
or
You are dealing with a crappy fix.
I honestly have never heard of a PLASTIC CAPACITIVE LENS!?!?!
Will this be a common resolution to HD2 shatter/blotch?
there are capacative screens with plastic face...
the samsung f480 has one either
Hmmm

That's good to know, maybe I'm wrong about it being plastic although it doesn't feel the same. Is your's definitely still glass?
Why not post some pics here ? Wanna see it. Best would be to do the pics in various angles to a light source to see what consistency it has ............
I noticed the diamond etchings on my HD2 straight out of the box brand new, still glass though.
may be we should look at tmob us screen and see it's type

All capacitivie screens are made of glass - or else the technology wouldn't work since its basically a grid with electric current covering the screen, and this grid you disturb with your fingers. Plastic is NOT leading electricity so it would not work. And btw, the Samsung F480 has a Resistive touchscreen.
That's not strictly true. Neither glass nor plastic conduct electricity - but both act as a dielectric for electrostatic fields. A capacitive touch screen can theoretically work with either plastic or glass (or even air), because capacitive touch doesn't actually require that you touch the screen.
glass conduct electricity
Strictly speaking, hardly anything conducts no electricity, it's just a question of a material's resistance and therefore the amount.
Somehow i have managed to get a scratch of prob 8mm tall x 1mm wide x 1mm
deep. is the front protected by something or is that the screen?
its hasnt gone all the way through what ever it is. but i can tell its scratched due to
the light when moving the phone about.
Anyway to fix this ie a new front?
screen works as normal.
Cheers Rob.
why would you want to fix? it seems like a minuscule scratch.
Its near the middle of the screen. There must have been some grit on it when i put it in the
pouch :?

I doubt it. It's hardened glass. It must have been something heavy or very sharp. The only fix i know of is a new glass cover or may be a very good screen protector
My N1 got a bunch of hairline scratches from my the old ladies earring, I put a name brand name screen protector on it and they're not visible anymore. So that is an option for you if it really bothers you that much, my N1's scratches drove me nuts because they were right at the top.
I have a scratch on my screen too...It was bothering me at first, but quickly forgot about it.
Not even visible.

I agree and would try a screen protector. I found a Fellowes generic protector was best at hiding a big scratch on an old iPAQ I have. The screen on that is quite different but I don't see why it wouldn't work on the HD2.
Cheers people, I think I have a few protectors at work. only cheap ones. Will let you know if this helps.

I, too, have a nice scratch in the screen. Can't remember what happened, or what would have caused it. When I realized it was there I immediately shopped for screen protectors, and used member reccomendations from XDA forums. I purchased a recommended protector based on those recommendations and some further research elsewhere online. My results? DO NOT purchase the HD2 product from Gadget Shieldz dot com. It will somehow magnify the resolution refresh and create a rainbow pattern on the nice, hi-rez screen. Aarrgh! Does someone have a better product suggestion??

I'm pretty keen on Skinomi protectors, they have a Lifetime Warranty.
http://www.skinomi.com/
The only thing is that the HD2 protector doesn't protect the bottom part below the buttons. Wasn't an issue for me but if you want all over protection go with BestSkinsEver.
Thanks for the suggestion, IC. Both products look the same as others, but if the pattern isn't there (and sensitivity isn't compromised) I will be a happy camper. I'll update on this forum with the results!
anyone tried the ZAGG Invisible Shield? It looks nice on the ads but i'd like to listen from a owner...
I have used the Zagg shield for about 3 months then happily removed it from my HD2, After a while the protector started to get an 'orange peel' effect to it and as a whole it was very reflective. I also didnt like the tactile feel to it, it felt quite rubbery and so when draging your finger across the screen sometimes it would feel choppy in a sense.
I am now using the wrapsol HD2 protector (am currently writing a full review for it so check back soon) but just quickly i love it and alreayd am more than happy with it i dont even know it is on the phone it feels like glass to the touch.
Hi I have bought a Blackstone on ebay,I have noticied that the touch screen have a little gap between the top of screen and the screen below.When you press the screen going down for about 1 mm it's normal?, I don't know if you understand me, my english it's very bad...

The Blackstone has a plastic guard over the 'actual' screen. This will push in slightly. Sounds fine mate.
Regards
It shouldn't be like that. True, there is a tiny distance between digitizer and lcd, but NOT 1mm

I daresay there was a bit of an exageration in the original post to be honest, i agree with what you say though. How would you explain it to someone if you had the issue? The screen goes down 0.15mm? A bit hard to assume in these cases i believe. It seems exagerated, If it really was 1mm, the cover would be away from the phone yes?
1mm it was a approximate distance, may be it's less than 1mm I think, but you confirm that it's present a little distance between the first layer of the screen and lcd.
Thanks

Yes mate, there is a slight gap between the screen and digitizer.
The bottom of my screen has a slightly different feel, even though it doesn't show it. I remember someone saying once that they cleaned their screen with rubbing alcohol, and thought that they'd removed a protective coating. When i fog up the screen my simply blowing hot air on it after whipping it clean, you can see that that part of the screen won't fog. Have I removed that coating? Does this happen for everyone?
Are you high by any chance?
I dont think he is, I'm trying this too and it doesn't fog up either only the top half does... but this could also be because the chips that get hotter are towards the bottom ie: antenna for wifi, bluetooth, radio etc.

LOL, ok that actually cracked me up
Not for me, hmm.
It's most likely due to the oils left behind on the screen from your finger. Even after cleaning it, there is probably enough left on the screen to cause the effect you see.

This gets my vote.
I've got the screen separation problem, and if I press hard enough on the left side of the bezel my screen distorts at the left side a bit. Will this damage the tablet long-term?

Stop squeezing it. Open the case and tighten a few screws or live with it, it won't damage it unless you're pushing it all the time.

I am unsure, but many people believe flexing the screen will cause undue stress and shorten the life of the display.

That fix has proven ineffective. Screen lifting is most likely caused by adhesive failure on the narrowest shelf that holds the display.
