Thumbpad - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I noticed that on my mytouch 4g that the thumb pad is not out evenly meaning that the bottom has no depth too the phone while the top has about 2-3 mm.
Is this normal?

Mine is like that as well and could have swore that it rose up the same amount all the way around...didn't really notice til I went to the beach and got some grains of sand in the crevices around the buttons and the trackpad was giving me issues. It works fine now so not too worried about it...

Yes its normal, the bottom of the phone curves up, therefore leaving less of the trackpad showing on the bottom... (put ur eye level with the side of ur phone and you can see what I'm talking about)

something weird

go to the home screen and have your finger sliding to the next home screen but do it at an angle and do it toward the bottom of the screen and move your finger down to the four buttons and you can flip homescreens with your finger on the buttons . still detects your finger moving when its not even touching the the screen really ,

Lol that's cool but not weird

its designed like that. Technically the touch sensitive part of the screen goes all the way down past the buttons.

Does your screen sit flush with the edges?

My screen doesnt sit flush with the edges of the phone and I am wondering if this is a common trait of the phone.
At the top left of the screen it actually does sit flush. If I run my finger across the screen to the left and off the edge, I can't feel any edge.
Anywhere else on the screen, when I slide my finger across the screen and off the edge I can feel the lip of the edge .
Its as if either the top left of my screen is sitting out more than it should, or the rest of my screen is a bit too far in.
Is your screen flush with the edges?
Mine's recessed all the way around.

I have a tiny lip around the whole edge of the phone.
I got a lip on the right hand side of the phone. And no lip going round from the right side edge

the left side of my screen is flush, the right side has a lip. It bothers me sometimes.
I don't think screen is gonna fall out. It seems fitted tightly
I got a little groove on the screen at the bottom so I could pop screen put then pop it back in.
Don't think ill bother tho just in case lol

Mine is the same way. I considered returning it but decided against, since it was pretty minor and didn't affect functionality.
i've a gap on the right but nothing on the left, the "doubled" lip at the top and bottom bothers me a bit more i think

Guys, look at the casing. The screens the same height all around (and this is on purpose for reasons such as setting it face down on a table), but the casing is different. On the sides vs bottom.

That wouldnt explain there being an edge sticking out on the right side of the phone but not on the left side

Phantom touchs

I've been dealing with a phantom touch issue with my shift. Pefectly centered in on the botto of the screen where it hits the phone button in sense. Its looking like a hardware issue.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and has anybody dealt with taking a rooted phone back to sprint for service?
Thoughts?

I had a weird issue where an area (the left side of the screen 2mm strip) on the touchscreen didn't work at all. I used the one zip RUU back to stock and brought it in and they gave me a new slider (whole top portion). Just happened 2 weeks ago.
I have bad problems with that and screen protectors, especially when it's really hot and humid (like everyday here in tampa)
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
At first I thought it was the screen protector, but the problem persisted after I stopped using them. And then I thought it was a bad rom or rom install, so I tried 3 different ones with no change. So ill just update myself to the OTA GB and take it in for service.

Did the rooted update to GB and it seems to have gotten rid of the phantom touch issue. I ended up having to do a factory reset when I did it, so maybe that helped. Glad I don't have to deal with customer support now. There always seems to be a line when I go in.

Just want to say you're not alone, this happened once temporarily on my G2. It made pressing the "s" and "a" keys on the on-screen keyboard almost impossible!

I have the same exact "issue". At first I was worried, but when I realized that it does not affect functionality in any way I stopped worrying.
It's in the lower left part on the bezel below the screen and it manifests as a bit of a flex when I press that part a bit harder. The screen is not loose, it just flexes a bit under the finger.
i am starting to worry about general build quality...
and still no response from samsung.
that is a manufacturers defect. you should be able to return and exchange it.

Screen Flicker Issue

Anyone else got this? Basically, when the phone screen isn't moving, such as when I'm reading some text, the screen flickers. For example, whenever I'm reading a post on xda, the white background around the text starts to flicker, and it is really noticeable in the dark while just reading posts in my rom thread, and its very distracting. (Happens when keyboard is open and closed)
Anyone else have this? Anyone know what part I should buy to replace it?

i had this a few months ago and now the phone is on low all the time cant turn up, the brightness it still flickers a bit brighter every now and then.
if you have the same as me it isnt the screen i was thinking its was the ribbon cable and couldnt find a cheap replacement based on a hunch,
now i seen more people getting this i would guess its the driver board for the screen,
not looked in to this though and dont want to folk out money on a phone i am looking to replace as soon as the driod 4 gets GSM.
