Hello,
Often when I power off the device, I'd still see the image on the screen... Turn it back on and off again would make this ghost image go away. Has anyone also experienced this? Does it residual image also drain the battery power?
Tom.
i see it too. its just lcd image retention. its using no battery to do that, and its not effecting the screen in any way when its on. give it a few hours and the pixels will relax. i dunno why it does it so bad on the streak. it only does it on half my screen, weird.

Hi there i also get the image after power off.my battery used to drain becouse of this.but like you said power on and of twice and that soughts it.they would have most probobly soughted this out with the new update.

Ditto, only on the upper left quadrant. Glad to know it's not just me. Haven't seen any adverse effects of this so I haven't ever really worried...

Same thing happened to me, just on the left side (in landscape) only about 10% of the screen. I've only seen this once and it hasn't happened again. Oh well

I brought my Imagio in to get a new one under the 30 day worryfree.
The new imagio has a much less sensitive screen and oddly enough, it displays the battery up in the taskbar.
I figured it was worth sharing.
Also, does anyone have any tips on how to improve screen sensitivity? My last one was amazing.
I would do a hard reset. I got a replacement and the screen would not automatically turn off. After a hard reset all was great. Little quirks sometimes happen.
thanks, ill give that a try. i dont believe the phone to be defective because im noticing small improvements in the new one. a crisper sound, less light leak from around the screen and just a sturdier feel. while i have your attention what is your calibration data? im trying to figure out the ideal values.
I am just using the defaults, I have not made any adjustments.
I did a hard reset and changed my PressureThreshold to 900. I changed my PanGestureDistanceThreshold to 80. Everything is working to my liking now.

where do you get to these settings? somewhere in the registry i guess, sorry for my ignorance
I really think the first set of phones that were available had problems, I had mine replaced and the battery is so much better. There was slight light leakage at the buttom ofthe screen on the first phone, none on the second.
Weird
i agree, i think the first wave had some issues. it'd make sense. this second one is working so much better.
to find these setting youll want to go to...
HKLM>DRIVERS>TOUCHPANEL and youll see Pressurethreshhold
as for the the other...
HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>TOUCH and youll see PanGestureDistanceThreshold
The second path i listed is also where you will find calibration data.
I use PHM RegEdit.
If anyone knows some more about reg tweaks that affect the screen please share!

When I got my original and my recent warranty replacement I noticed the screen was almost "sticky" and hard to swipe and it went away after a day of use.
Someone else I know just got one and their didn't work right out of the box and needed a hard reset and then it was OK. That of course makes no sense to me.
I ordered mine the day they became available. I don't know if I can explain it but it ran pretty poorly (sluggish performance) but after a hard reset it seemed to clear up any problems. What prompted you to replace it?
There is a slight gap between the screen and the buttons that some light does leak out of. Is this cause for concern or just cosmetic? (Seeing as how I'm more or less locked into this phone for the next 2 years.)
I also am wondering the same thing.
I posted a thread on the other forum wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the screen gap.
I love the phone and noticed all of the stores demos are perfect without the gap.
Wondering if I should replace, deal with with the cosmetic annoyance or worry about the long term effects?????

I'm calling for a warrantee replacement today, I just can't take it any more. I really like this phone, but boy does the build quality suck.
its purely cosmetic no worries. i have the same gap and have heard lots of people report the same light leak in the location. its completely normal. unless you notice the the light leak becomes more severe or your screen gets a little bit of rippling (both of which i HIGHLY doubt will ever happen) you have nothing to worry about.
also, i noticed the same thing with the screen almost being "sticky". im not sure what it is, but i either adjusted to it or it went away
its not possible for them to seal in all light. the chief concern is making sure dust and moisture cant seep in. the screen is sort of like a big button in this respect. around every button there is light leak.

My first Imagio did not have any light leaking/bleeding around the edge, my replacement does. So I do have to disagree with you that there is no way around it. It may be purely cosmetic, but cosmetics is a factor in purchasing a phone. Otherwise we would all buy ugly Moto phones. So while I know for some people they will deal with it, I am calling V to get an exchange.
So when do people think the next update will be on the N1?

I am more concern about the touch screen problem. Not the Multitouch one, but the one about the touch screen goes crazzzy (seriously a phone that is operate completely by touch screen and the touch screen is not reliable??? what the heck is Google/HTC thinking?). That is the main thing that is keeping me from this phone.

I'd be curious to see the actual number of people suffering from this problem since so few people are complaining about it. Mine doesn't have this issue.
My screen goes crazy.
Every day or so ill turn the phone on where the top half of the screen wil be fine, but the bottom half will be out of calibration by about an inch. I'll feel the vibrate from the Buttons at the bottom when im clearly about an inch about them. Reboot fixes

i must be one of the few people who are lucky as well. I don't have the screen calibration error. Every blue moon the wrong spot will light up but i just have to press it again, no need to exit out of app or reset. I've only had my n1 for a 1 1/2 months, i was not one of the early adopters, if that means anything.
Also, no screen calibration issues. Hope the new OTA opens up the rest of the N1 Ram!

Get your palms off the side of the screen and it'll work fine.

The only screen issue I have is when I am using the phone via BlueTooth and need to Mute the phone.. when I hit the Mute button, it presses the 0 button instead. I just have to hit power to turn off the screen for a few seconds and turn it on and it works as expected again.

Look like my comment fired up a storm. According to Google help forum, there are about 2000 posts, some are just back and fore, but even then it still come to a sizable #, most of them done like 4 -5 exchanges and still have the problem. I have 1 more month until I pull a trigger on this phone, hoping to see improvement.

All of these users must have magnetic personalities lol
I have issues with touchscreen stuff all the time. When I type fast I'll get all kinds of errors... I also have the issue when sometimes no matter where I click on the screen it only hits the home button... I really hope this gets cleared up.
Well I must have very bad luck because this is my second N1 with the problem.Return the first one 00 because the screen craziness and receive a new one 01 (different badge) and also has the problem.But I'm keeping this one,anyway is rooted already and notices is better way better,but the problem still here,but just ,put it to sleep and wake-up and fix it.I don't know the cause of this if software or hardware but definitely not everybody has it.I downloaded a drawing app from the market and I can see that when the problem I touch someplace near the middle of the screen and it recognized the touch as a straight line all the way to the bottom.

And I always make sure I'm not making contact with the screen with the palm or anything else.
I noticed that there's a tiny gap between where the screen ends and where the frame begins. It looks really crappy when the backlight for the soft keys is turned on because the light shows through this gap.
(I used the nexus one camera for this, so it's not very visible. It looks a lot worse in person.)
Does anybody else have this? If not, I'll just go swap mine at the sprint store...
No light leak on mine!
I have the same problem although mine is a lot worse. Maybe I should get it exchanged.
No leak on mine. That would drive me bonkers....but I'm ocd. Bring it back!
Most have this
This goes hand in hand with the glass separation issue. Give it a good press down at the bottom and it will fix it for about 30 seconds. It's a problem with the adhesive. I'll be using my warranty once the evos are more readily available.

Same here..
I think they are all gonna get this at some point. Is it neccecarilly a defect? you cant notice it unless you sit in a pitch black room... also i use the silicon case that overlaps the glass just a little bit all around so i dont really notice anyways.
i like to read at night with dark mode. so just the fact that i can't turn off the menu lights irritates me. i used to use LEDshack on the droid.

Well, as it stands, its not a huge deal. The question is, how bad will the problem get? It has potential to be a serious problem if it continues to separate. (ie works it way on up the phone)
So I have noticed a fairly large grouping of dust has collected under my screen on the top left corner. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and how did you get it taken care of?

Happens to a lot of people including myself. I just deal with it since I can only see it during the day in the sun. You can take it to the spring store and they might fix it for you.

I have recently noticed the same thing in the same upper left corner. I switched from my oversized battery and cover back to the original battery and cover to see if that helps prevent it from getting worse.

I've been using a different back as well, for the powermat charger. I wonder if that is what caused it. Well, off to the sprint store I guess. We'll see what they say.

I have the same problem in the upper-left hand corner. I didn't have an extended battery until today. Completely stock, even got the dust while I had my screen protector on. I do notice that my phone has what I think is called "screen separation". Sometimes when I press down on the screen, it feels strange like it is separated. Hasn't affected the operation of the phone, but it's not too big of a deal for me to take back to Sprint yet. I only notice the dust when the screen is completely black and in direct light, too.

I actually noticed the dust under my screen about two weeks ago and have not made it to the sprint store yet. Should I even bother going there or are they not going to do anything for me? I have the Total Equipment Protection as well.
I've noticed dust under my screen as well. What sucks is the dust is right on top of the front facing camera ....maybe this weekend I will take it to the sprint store and see what they say.
Yeah I have it too, also have a blown speaker for the 2nd time -______-. I took it in to get fixed and they gave me a new screen (awesome) but forgot to put a earpiece back in. Looks like im just ignoring the 2nd time i got dust under the screen and gonna fix the rear speaker myself, or try to at least.
If they have any displays in stock, they'll replace it on the spot. Just make sure you tell them you want a brand new component. The store I took it too put a display that was all scratched up and nicked on the edges on my phone as if I wouldn't mind. How insulting!
Does anyone else have their screen respond without touching it?
I've noticed this in go sms. On the conversation list, the last one on the screen is sometimes pressed without me touching it. I will press back and it just goes back into it.
I recently noticed in web browsing too where the screen would refresh on its own. I clued in that the refresh button is on the bottom of the screen.
Seems like the bottom maybe 2 cm of the screen sometimes responds on its own.
Is there any app that I can see where the screen is being pressed?
Settings, Developer options, Show Touches
That will visually show you where any screen touches are occurring. The screen is a bit sensitive for me sometimes, but I haven't seen anything crazy yet.

Same here. Sometimes it happens to me. I would say one of 50 touches it'll react even without me pressing finger on a scren.
I definitely know what you're referring to, and it does seem to happen only on the bottom of the screen. Sometimes I'll trigger the screen if my finger is close but not touching it.

The thing that bothered me today is that i was trying to press a button in the top left corner and the bottom link kept being pressed so I have to hit back and I was trying to beat the bottom press but I couldnt lol
I dont think there was any moisture on that part of the screen either
Yep, but not on this phone yet...
I say not yet because it's happened to me on almost every one of my touch screen phones. It seems to happen to me when the air is dry and I bet it has to do with there being more static electricity around. On those days when you're shocking everything you touch, those are the days when my phones seem to act up. It happened on my G1, my vibrant, Droid1, Droidx, and two of my bionics. All of the problems went away although on my 1st bionic it was really bad and almost completely unusable. The next day it was back to normal. Maybe it's just gremlins.
answer:
it happens if/when you use a DIFFERENT charger for the phone. you should be using the charger that comes with the phone. If you use a different charger (from a G1 or from a razr or something), then the screen tends to mess up, even when off the charger.

Is yours also happening towards the bottom of the screen?
For those of you with this problem, try pulling the battery out for a minute or two and also try touching something metal if you can. You know to discharge any static built up. (Worth a shot right) When I had this problem on my Sensation everyone was reporting that it was the charger they were using. I don't know if that was correct because the problem went away even though I was still using two different chargers. One charger was for the GNEX (same as GS3) and the other was the HTC charger. I really think it has to do with static electricity build up. If you think about the way these digitizers work it really makes sense. It seems to happen to me during spring time when it's dry and windy.

That is a good theory, but why would the static shock only be hitting the bottom part of the screen?
i don't know why. but i'm sure it's the charger. this happened back in the G1 days when android first came out. i did so many "experiments" with different chargers to figure out what was causing the screen to be all glitched like this. found out it was the charger. same thing happened with my vibrant, and same thing happened with my sisters sgs2.
