In order to be more focusing on this display problem of Atrix, I started this new post. And I hope every user who encounters this problem can leave a reply here.
Summary of the problem:
Wherever you touch on the screen, if you touch on the exact same spot for more than around 20 seconds, the touching signal will be lost. You have to retouch onto the screen to have the response back. You can identify the problem through some apps called "multitouch test" as they can visualize your touch but this problem is not related to multitouch.
On daily use, this is not a problem because you can hardly keep touching on the same position for more than 20 seconds. However, it is very annoying while you are playing games with atrix. For example, minisquadron, gun bros and Guerrilla Bob. These games require you keep touching the same position so as to "FIRE" a gun. You will notice your gun stop firing after sometime even though you are still holding the fire button.
For fixing the problem, I have sent a few emails to motorola and made a call with motorola. Finally I just received an aceptable reply:
Dear Consumer
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola for help. We could not immediately answer your question, so we are sending it on to our expert team for help. Please be patient while our experts evaluate your question. They will respond to you soon.
Regards,
- Motorola Consumer Support

I hope they really working on fixing the problem. However, if you do have the same problem, I really hope that you can also send Motorola a email reporting having this bug so as to give pressure on Motorola.
Thank you for your attention.

so this thread is just for people that have the bug to post? if so then I have it with my Bell atrix
This explains a problem I'm been having when browsing. I always use landscape mode and when reading lengthy pages apparently i'm exceeding 20 seconds at which point the touch screen loses my touch and i'm unable to scroll until I remove my finger for a few seconds and re-apply it.
I've confirmed that use case and your 'multi-touch test' app as well. I'm currently using OS version 1.57.
My Atrix ATT also has this problem. I am not sure if this is an issue. Many people report the same. MAD!!!
+1 here. Hope it's only a driver issue and can be corrected with an update.

I BELIEVE this is only a matter of firmware. It can be fixed by update but the first thing is to make MOTOROLA realize the problem and treat the problem seriously.

agree,this bug was made by them intentionally, its normalize your screen every 20-30 secs to prevents error touch like droplets water...lame implementation!!!
The problem now is to make MOTOROLA realize how serious is this problem and take immediate actions!!!!I ady posted few discussion on moto forum.

Gosh, I know this is unrelated, but when I scroll on this phone, it ALWAYS clicks on something I don't want it to (for example, the settings menu).
It really pisses me off.
YES YES YES!! THIS IS ALL TRUE!!! Although I feel like it just looses all response input at random. Maybe it is timed. Whatever it is, it's making my games almost unplayable (spider-man in particular).
That and the frikin touch screen accuracy sucks donkey balls. I CLEARLY tap a link and it selects another random link on the screen. Also, typing sucks (not nearly up to par as the iPhones) due to the crappy accuracy.
Unfortunately Moto announced today that Atrix/Xoom sales have been very crappy. This makes it sound like we're never getting another update due to low revenue.
When will these stupid companies learn that they'll do better if they just didn't touch the damn OS? They'll never make Android their own so they should be putting that effort into the hardware.
here is that information? about the probleme I have this probleme too :S
just lodge the complain using the online support chat.hope they will get it fix soon
i dont want to test to see if I have this problem (cant handle much more disappointment).
However I will say .. I had my Atrix for 2 days now. The third app i downloaded was Draw(er), just a simple free touch sketching program. Drew some things, then decided to test the touch screen.
DO/DOES YOUR PHONE(s) DO THIS ALSO:

I was not able to draw in that far left/far right area of the screen (with phone held in portrait mode). I guess its not a big deal in normal usage, but that bugs me. Some apps/games have controls in that area that one would need to grab. On Atrix it would be impossible to do so accurately, if at all.
Thankfully I'm still within my 30 day return period. 95% chance this thing is going back before the time is up. IF only to help remind Motorola YOU CANNOT TAKE AN OPEN-SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM, LOCK IT DOWN, AND CALL IT YOUR OWN. (I'm soured by Motorola's locked bootloader, as I've come from a long/enjoyable history of HTC phones running WinMo)
I can draw at the edge??
here is a video of the glitch. sorry it takes a while this time for it to recognize. http://www.youtube.com/user/Graemegb1?feature=mhum#p/u/7/nce519w3Lak
Is this problem with all the atixs like 100% of them or is it random models that get it?
it's on all the atrix.

He is moving a lot on the scree so that the problem takes longer time to come out.
It takes much shorter time to recognize the problem it touching without moving.

Hey all, I don't know what's causing this but since yesterday my Wizard (K-JAM) has been going crazy.
I just plugged it into my USB port a min ago to charge it (not sync) and a whole random bunch of apps opened, including IE where 'hhhhhhhhh' and 'eeeeee' were repeatedly put into the IE search box, as if the buttons were stuck (this'd happen if the keyboard was open or not)
SMS would open too, the phone panel would open and the phone would appear to be dialing random things. Including successfully dialing (by itself) "333".
The hard buttons and keyboard seem to become disabled when this happens too and will randomly start working again.
I'm running Windows Mobile 6.1 TNT Official. Has anyone else experienced this kind of stuff?
This is a real mystery and driving me nuts. Is my phone possessed?! I may try flashing with a different ROM later, although TNT *has* been working ok for the few days I've had it on here.
Ok this is really odd. I've found that when this happens and it calms down a bit (keyboard/buttons work again), I open Word Mobile and try and type.. the letters 'h' and 'e' don't work (the 2 letters that appear randomly when the phone goes crazy). I have no idea why as I can use these letters just fine when the phone's acting normal.
Right now I have Word Mobile open and the phone's typing "yyyyyyyyyyyyyy" by itself. Buttons/keyboard have stopped working but touchscreen is fine.
Gawd. :S
Edit: Wish I knew WTF was causing this. It continues even after a soft reset. This time I've rebooted it, it originally messed about but is now back to normal.
Ok, it now seems I can (temp.?) fix the hardware buttons on the front of the Wizard doing nothing by opening the keyboard and hitting something like the windows key. Then all the front buttons work again.
I notice when the buttons are disabled often hitting the middle button (inside the up/down/left/right) brings up "Align Screen" for who knows what reason.
How annoying. I'm gonna flash another ROM and see if the problems go away. (currently using latest TNT Official)
EDIT: Still some buttons (q, e, i, g, h) are no longer working. What on earth has happened here?
Right, just flashed it back down to T-Mobile 2.26 and the randomness problems seem to have gone away [EDIT: No they haven't] but I still have completly lost the use of q, e, i, g and h. I have no idea how this has happened. Last night I had a low battery (first time) and the phone started going nuts at this point, when it was under 10% charge left.
Since then it's been very random. But I charged it up overnight and the problem hasn't gone away. Some of the random stuff it was doing was typing 'hhhhh' and 'eeeeee' non-stop (2 of the buttons that no longer work) which makes me think a chipset has screwed up in some way. Keyboard backlight is on constantly. It's the sorta thing I'd expect if I dropped it in a sink of water but the phone hasn't been under any sort of shock/pressure/water/whatever since I got it last week!
I'm beyond frustrated. To top it all the MiniSD card I ordered days ago finally arrived today and it's now completly useless.
Dunno what I'm gonna do now. :S
Final Edit: Ok so it looks like it could be something up with the Wizard itself, could anyone confirm?
- The button in the centre of the joypad either 1. Acts as 'Start' or opens 'Align Screen', this is completly random. (sometimes changes on opening/closing the keyboard???)
- Either the joypad works and the Answer/Reject buttons don't or vice versa - this too is completly random.
- The Left / Right softkeys on the KEYBOARD (top left, top right) work randomly. If they are working the keyboard doesn't work, and again VICE VERSA.
- The LEDs on the call reject button / keyboard are on constantly. This only changes for a time if i mash the keyboard.
- The 5 letters mentioned previously don't work unless I mash the keyboard, in which case the Wizard will sometimes take over typing for itself and then I'm able to use the keys afterwards again. (yeah, I understand this makes absolutely no sense!)
- The Wizard will completly spontaniously start opening random stuff and typing as if keys are jammed.
I've flashed to Tmob 2.26, 3.08, WM6.1 (TNT) & WM6.1 (another cook) and have exactly the same problem. This all points towards broken hardware. I should have guessed with the amount of dents, scratches and a broken button that this poor Wizard has been through the mill a few times! Shame it had to use me as its death bed!
If anyone can recommend anything to what it might be and what I could do to fix it then please let me know.
Thanks!
Wow! You're not much for letting other people get a word in edge-wise, are ya?
First thing:

Make sure you don't have Smartskey installed (look in Windows\Startup and in Program Files). If you do, uninstall it, it's been corrupted somehow.
Otherwise:
Ok, I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I think it's just the age of these phones. They get old, they get dirty. Don't believe me? Take off your battery cover and look at the grime that's gathered at the edges. Imagine what that does to your buttons!
You need to open the case, disassemble the keyboard section (and the faceplate too, for good measure), and thoroughly clean the contacts, the buttons, etc. The further you disassemble, the cleaner you will get it. See this thread for a manual on disassembly/reassembly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378764
Use good quality sterile cotton swabs (no dollar store crap for this), and pure (not dyed) isopropyl alcohol. Dab the swab in alcohol, and gently scrub every inch of the contacts, the circuit board faces, and the buttons.
When that's done, wait for it to dry...and I mean as dry as a mummy fart. DRY. Inspect everything carefully, looking for loose cotton threads, debris, and most important, streaks. Streaks mean you just smeared the gunk around without picking it up. If you find cotton or debris, use canned air to remove it. DO NOT USE TWEEZERS OR OTHER METAL IMPLEMENTS TO DO THIS. If you find streaks, go back and clean it again.
Once it is both dry and clean, reassemble it and test it. You should be good to go unless there's something broken.
If neither of these things works, I would strongly urge you to consider committing a violent act on the individual who sold you the phone... you probably won't get your money back, but it might make you feel better.
Cheers, the thing has me at my wits end. Keep having to remind myself it's only a phone
Yeah it's def not Smartskey or a soft problem as I've flashed it a whole bunch of times this afternoon.
From mashing the keyboard and causing it to do different things it looks to be a hardware problem (or full of junk like you say). I grabbed the pdf manual to look through but don't feel too comfortable taking the thing apart just yet.
I just slapped it about a bit as best I could out of frustration and unbelivably it seems to have come back to it's former glory. I'm not gonna get my hopes up and expect it to stay like this though.
Yeah it was an ex-company phone from a company upgrading their stock so no refunds / replacements. I guess if the worst comes to the worst it'll go on ebay as faulty and I'll be without a little gadget I really craved! Back to my £10 Sagem for the time being.
Thanks for the reply.
My Wizard is going nuts too. Also the buttons but a bit different. Take a look here:

Hi mate, your problem sounds similar to mine. Especially about the lights (though my green light is broken and only shows occasionally - came like that). You'll probably find that when it's in that state the problems arise.
Mine screwed up again after about an hour of my last post and the keyboard barely works at all now. Mashing it / hitting it / swearing at it isn't doing any good. I've virtually given up.
I'm not sure about a CID re-lock btw, but would Vodafone bother check to see if it was CID locked or not on return?
But hey, it sounds like a hardware malfunction. Good luck with yours & keep us updated if you find any kind of resolution !

Glad to hear it.
Wish I had that option myself though. I've put my Wizard up for sale in the sticky thread.
I do hope to get another one in the near future though. There's enough fun to be had to warrant another purchase soon I think.

Hi guys, I appreciate that this may not be the correct Forum but I get alot of knowledge from this site so if you guys dont know, no one will!!
My Xperia optical pad/joystick is having a mare...each time i rub my finger over it, my X1 trys to dial out and skips to menus. The phone has apparently become "moist" acording to the Vodafone shop (Which to me seems like an excuse)
I ahve wiped the device back to factory settings and the same errors keep happening. I have turned the Opt Pad off in settings but the pad still reacts to touches and just jumps though menus and try's to make calls!!
Is there a way that I can get this fixed or resolved or has anyone else got any ideas. This may be a hardware fault.
Thank you all.
Well I can imagine dust being behind the scroll 'wheel'. How about you try to blow it out with a can of compressed air?

Hi,
Thank you, I have used a can of air and this seemed to make little difference.
Maybe I could get the device apart and give it a pro clean although I feel the actual joystick me be capput :/
Other ideas?
Thanksagain.
Moist? The only way I can see a phone becoming moist is either from a bit of rain or sweaty hands. Either way, phones are designed to withstand this otherwise they would be completly useless for outside use..

I have the same issue. It does seem to happen more when I have been using the MobiPocket Reader to read a book for a while ... maybe my sweaty thumb is causing the issue ;-)
Seriously though, if this is really true about moisture I may have to trade my X1 in, it drives me nuts when this happens.
Is there a way to clean the optical joystick properly? (I'm going to try the air-from-a-can idea as well)

Nah, AutoScroll just irritates me , get distracted for a second and you lose your place.
I've resorted to using 'tap the screen to go to next page' option. Seems to work well BUT the point is the X1 shouldn't have this issue.
Vodafone have offered to 'repair' it for me, since it's still in warrenty, but it means sending it away for 10-14 days and in the meantime they can give me a 'loaner' which will of course be a peice of crap (I'll just use my TYTN).
Update:
I have found the issue! After looking on Google I came across a YouTube video of how to dismantle and reassemble the X1.
Turns out one of the transistors on the Optical pad circuit board had become slightly coroded, so I cleaned this up with a small soft brush and a minute drop of meths and put it back together and BINGO!
Also while the screen was out I left it overnight in airing cupboard in a ziplock bag with a pack of Sylica(Spelling) Gell.
Search YouTube for: "Xperia assemble Front/Back" User; CKY1
Hope this goes to help someone.
Cheers guys
in my case, I just adjusted the joystick to lower sensitivity...It worked without surgery..
so technically vodaphone was right. and it was a moisture problem.
While updating and using the latest Android OS from Nvidia for the Tegra-Note, I noticed some issues with the touchscreen.
Browsing the forum I noticed other users had issues with this too
So I have released a fix for this issue
Issues fixed:
Touchscreen unresponsive
Single click -> double clicks
Touching the screen in one area while, touchscreen thinks youre touching in another area
Untested:
Using stylus and touching from edge of screen to centre loses touch focus from stylus
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP Recovery
Installation:
Download touchscreen fix from the link below
Reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" or Volume up and power button
Locate zip file and select install or "adb sideload locatetotouchscreenfixzip"
Download Link: http://d-h.st/PkX
4.2.2 or 4.4.2?
Hi Shaky, you said the latest version of Android but your title says "4.2.2" . Do you mean 4.4.2?
Like everyone else I have these pesky touchscreen issues and I am hoping you mean 4.4.2 because that's what I got.

Actually, I'm not too sure since I don't really use GPS on my tablet since I always have my mobile handy but I did give it a try this morning and I couldn't lock on to any satellites. Tegra Note 7 found 3 satellites and locked on to none. Granted I was indoors at time but comparing to my Galaxy S4, I found 21 satellites and fixed on to 7 of them. I used GPS Status to get this information. I also used Faster GPS to assign an NTP server but it didn't do much.
Hopefully that's helpful, maybe people who have tested this extensively will chime in soon to point you in the right direction.
thanks! this has really been bugging me lately
Post your feedbacks guys ! Does this works 100% if we are in plam rejection mode and we slide our finger from left or right side of the screen does it reads it as stylus ?
what exactly does this "fix" do? It would be nice if there was a description of the actual functionality and how its achieved. Right now, i have no idea if this is going to help me with my absolutely horrible palm rejection, and poor stylus performance issues, or help people who are having ghost clicks, or if its going to help the end swipe people, or the people who randomly have no touch responsiveness. Looking at the archive, it looks like you're writing new firmware, is this just simply the firmware from 4.2.2? or did you modify it in some way to fix the problems that are current. A little transparency would be awesome here, im not sure whether to try and contact evga, or just throw this piece of crap against the wall and cut my losses.
*edit* if i seem abrasive, im really sorry. The camels back broke tonight, and im literally seething. I expected better from nvidia. Either I can't believe there are either so many stupid people in the world, or Im the idiot who did all my updates right out of the box, and don't know what im missing. If it can be better than this, i want THAT experience.

Op updated. Take your complaints to EVGA, or nvidia, not me. I have simply provided a fix for touchscreen issues.
Shaky, as i said, not directed at you. I'm just frustrated. I'm directing them directly at the forum where other people who had my frustration may have found a solution. I mean, its a forum right? Your fix unfortunately has not helped in my case, perhaps I have bad hardware. Having unlocked to try your fix im sure nvidia and evga are likely out of the question, but I'm resigned to just using this as a 7" e reader.
Thanks for replying back to the thread anyway.

I've had a couple of days or so to test this now. First off, this mod doesn't seem to be a 100% fix yet. But, I have to say that the responsiveness of the touchscreen is improved when it DOES work.
The problem that still occurs the touchscreen becomes unresponsive for some seconds still, particularly if I come from a resource taxing app (e.g. a game or something), I close the screen and open it again. The screen becomes unresponsive when I key in the PIN, for example, I'd key '1', it won't respond, so I'd key '1' again, still nothing so I repeat then finally the touchscreen responds by keying in a million '1's' lol. So usually, I have to type my PIN really slowly to give the touchscreen time to detect my presses. Usually, I'd have to reboot to get proper touchscreen responsiveness.
I still have a problem with the stylus where it becomes unresponsive with the stylus only or palm rejection mode on. If I have my palm pressed somewhere across the edge, sometimes, the stylus stops writing.
With that said, there has been improvements in responsiveness with this mod but that's when it DOES work. Meaning, flinging between screens, touch typing, and the stylus all works better when it works. Does that make sense? LOL.
I really hope NVidia and EVGA get's on this soon.

Thanks for the feedback, can you provide a log whenever that happens? enable usb debugging and in terminal (cmd) "adb shell logcat > logcat.txt" without the quotes. I think I know why it doesnt work 100%, but require logs to confirm.
Btw you guys are aware, settings -> directstylus -> set timer to activate finger touch after pen use -> disable touch only during pen use or select 3 seconds

Thanks for the feedback, can you provide a log whenever that happens? enable usb debugging and in terminal (cmd) "adb shell logcat > logcat.txt" without the quotes. I think I know why it doesnt work 100%, but require logs to confirm.

Hey, I haven't had time yet. I've been spending too much time away from home these days with work and all so when problem happens, I am without the ability to get a logcat file. I'll get you a log as soon as time permits.
BTW, just two days ago, I had a related problem occur and instead of rebooting what I did was just play around with the device so I can give you a better description of what happens. I say "related" because I think last time I described what seemed like lag after touch presses and problems with the palm rejection.
Scenario:
1. I was plugged in charging.
2. Unfortunately, I cannot recall what I was doing or what app I ran before the touch screen problem occurred.
3. I brought up the App drawer and when I tried to swipe left to get to the next screen of apps, it automatically just swiped back to the previous screen.
4. I managed to open Google Now where my keyboard popped up automatically, characters started popping up on the text box as if my keys were being pressed.
5. I rebooted and didn't bother to wait to see if the problem would fix itself.
6. Things that might be important: I use Nova Launcher Prime and Swift Key.
Like I said, if I can somehow get lucky to have the problem happen just when I am at a PC, I'll send the logcat file ASAP.
Thanks for the effort, Shaky.

(in the voice of Kyle's mom) Wha-wha-what?! Someone is doing a custom ROM for this thing?
It's about time, I can't wait! The only thing that has irritated me about this tablet is that there is almost no development interest in it, which is weird since it's both unlocked and inexpensive. Huge thanks, and I can't wait to see the TN7's first custom rom!

How do you know if your GPS working or Hardware defective
I install Dr. Ketan L16 version ROM for my note 4 and did all the instruction to full wipe and install clean ROM but my GPS not working properly ( it s keep bouncing while I drive my can and never stayed in the road but when I reach my destination GPS helper sound say you arrived to your destination although the arrow for direction does not accompany me and there is no one telling trun right or turn lift even though I make sure that I did on the helper to speak while I drive) so my conclusion is it is not working as it should be I contact Dr. Ketan and he replied to me that there is no problem and no one report that tere is a GPS problem so I would like to know and want your help on how to discover if it is GPS haredware or software problem in my note 4 my device is N910f please I am really disparete to know the solution.
please help me I do not want to change Dr. Ketan ROM it is really rock if you have a similar powerful ROM tell me it's name I tryied Kuby rom also it's very good but I notice some battery drain even though I do not use my phone and no wifi and I am not using it it drop down from 100 to 90 present in one hour also I want to mention that my Battery is brand new.
I had the same problem. My GPS used to work well but someday when I needed it, I discovered it was not working anymore. I tried many different roms, many tweaks, many apps, nothing helped, my GPS was next to unusable. I finally found the strength to crack it open. The GPS connectors were not touching the back of the phone where the antenna is, no connection was made and so the GPS was not working. I raised the pins just a little and now everything is perfect. It seems to be a common problem among Note 4 users. Opening N4 is not the easiest thing in the world, but if I have made it, then many people should be able too.
First thing to do is try this app. If you cannot get a strong lock in 1 minutes max, maybe you should consider the hardware problem.
thank you man I will try but please tell me if you have a trusted apk that can tell you weather your GPS hardware is working or not. or something similar to this.
See after installation this is what I got

I do not think that there's an app to definitely tell you that your GPS hardware is faulty. The app you used gives only clues and your picture indicates that your GPS is not receiving any satellite signal. Mine used to show the same thing. The GPS pins are located on the upper right corner of the phone, as you watch the phone from the back.
This video shows how to open Note 4, it helped me a great deal.

You are welcome my friend. If this is actually the problem, then it's easy to fix, once the device is open. And maybe you should tell the technician to put a tiny piece of paper under the GPS pins, so they cannot loose connection again. I did not do that and now I'm just waiting for the pins to get loose again, so I can open it again and fix it once and for all.
In any case ask a moderator to move the topic to Q&A section!
please do not move it just yet today I am going to a workshop and if it's a GPS pin problem I will report with picture then you can close it and remove it... please just wait

hi there, I just replaced my screen for the umpteenth time but, on this occasion, it hasn't "taken". The old screen is totally obliterated, smashed display, but it still takes power and behaves as it should (lights up on disconnection of usb charger, for example). The new screen? Not so much. It does actually work, it shows the picture fine, but it only shows it for a fraction of a second then blinks off. When I press the power button again it does nothing, as it thinks I'm turning the phone off, then when I press it again the screen comes back on for a half a second or so and same issue. Have checked all connections, all fine, have swapped in the old screen to confirm it behaves as it should, all fine.
I'm wondering, could this be some kind of gpu/driver issue? Or has anyone experienced this before with a replacement screen and it's just a "dud"? Absolute downer as I've been waiting for it for a month or so and literally can't afford to buy another one at the moment, really bad year

I had a similar problem due to display incompatibility.
I have the phone marked FHD-D on the cable and the new display was FHD-A.
Or, the new display is not original...

Thanks for your reply and yeah, I'm figuring this is what is happening. However, the cable/screen are all one piece and were bought together, so is it possible they'd mismatch the cable to the screen themselves? idk, anyway, I've opened a dispute and have now been told that I'm stupid and that I have installed the screen incorrectly and not connected the battery (absolute gibberish).
I made a couple of videos for them, idk, have a look and see what you reckon but, indeed, to me this looks like straight up incompatibility as the screen isn't being driven properly by the phone (and, as you can see, the old busted screen behaves correctly)
Video of old/broken screen showing correct power response and on/off behaviour:
https://streamable.com/n16xo8
Here is the video of"new" screen which is clearly not correctly supported
https://streamable.com/28w8m2
Well hopefully I can get a refund for the part and get another. Can't even afford to order another at the moment until I get the refund :/ Lost my business last year due to covid and don't have access to state benefits or the like, so have just been trying to keep the head above water for the last year and a bit, so believe it or not something like this is a big expenditure for me these days :/

The original screen is "Boe" (see screenshot), this can be verified via the "Device Info HW" application.
Too bad the phone won't start and it can't be verified...

Yeah, it's a pain, I guess the display is just not going to work and I'll have to somehow get another - hopefully I can get the refund okay as those videos show it clearly doesn't work! The phone does actually start up, everything is going on fine aside from the screen. As I have to press on/off several times to get the screen to flicker, I don't have time to put in the unlock code and get into any menus, and then when it goes off I'm back to jockeying the button until it lights up again, at which point of course it's returning from a standby state so it's going back to the code input. BAH!
hello how are you 1 month ago I bought the second-hand mate 10 lite with the crashed but functional screen and I decided to buy a screen since the one I brought stopped working the touch screen everything was fine in the installation but the same thing happened to me as you understand normal but the screen does not work when the device is finished charging and putting the pattern turns on the screen and also that when I make a gesture it does not work I have to press a little hard and I realized that the screen came out a slight defect and I cannot request a refund since remove the security seals when installing it in your case if it came out with a major manufacturing defect
Note 2020 just look at the date of your post and still comment hehe greetings from Mexico
