Applying Pressure On Edges Causes Ripple on Screen - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having this problem? where you press the edges with the slightest pressure and causes the screen to ripple (sorry for not knowing what its called, it happens when you press on your desktop screen...)? I actually had an ipad that did this and the apple store said it was normally caused due to water, but mine didnt have any exposure to water and i dont go around godzilla pressing my touch devices. It doesnt bother me too much, but a little more information on it would be nice Thanks everyone

All LCD screens will "ripple". It is LIQUID crystal under there.
the bigger the screen, the more noticeable it can be because the glass will flex some.
Try it on a laptop screen and you'll see the effect more pronounced.
On mine, I have to press quite harder than I normally would for just touches.

Same here. When I press along side the left edge even moderately I see the ripples. It is very noticeable when the the picture is dark such as when you close all the tabs in chrome and left with just the gray background. Not sure if its a case for concern or not.

I believe this is caused by lack of support under the left side of the screen...unlike the right side.

I dont think so simply because even with the washer mod which adds the support, it still ripples. The right side does the same also now that I noticed as does the middle of the screen.Thin glass maybe? Of co**** this is all only noticeable if you look for it with the darker background. The concern would however be longer term when/if anything occurs out of it.

I guess that is a problem with the screen separation of lift. The left side of my N7 is lifting up and I find the screen ripples when I am applying pressure on to it. However, I do the same on the right side, no ripples at all. So, I think it's a related problem.

Honesty, how much is the screen rise an issue?

Other than the annoyance, does it really affect anything?

Same here. I have a slight raise and that's my only complaint. Theresa little bit of ghosting but that fades away. I have none of the flickering. I'm pretty happy with it and cant put it down. Its driving my wife nuts though.
My first 2 had the raise (3rd did, clamped it down). It was annoying, VERY annoying. One of them was very bad. The entire left side made qa click sound, you couldn't type without hearing it. Did it affect the performance? No. But its not something you want, except, or should have to put up with after spending hundreds.
I just got another nexus 7 yesterday and there's a slight screen lift around middle left portrait mode, probably 1/10 millimeter lol so I'm not going to bother with it and everything else is good. Love this nexus 7.

None issue for me, as it hasn't occurred.
The actually creaking or rise isn't an issue for me. What's an issue for me is that whenever I press the lower left hand area of the screen, I get that rippling effect like when you press down on an LCD monitor.
My first one had a very slight raise with minor clicking. I would have kept it but the speaker was blown. My second one was absolutely horrible. Although the speaker was fine, the entire left side of the device was separating. Slight finger pressure would cause numerous creaks and 'squishy' noises. The silver plastic bezel that goes around the device was buckled on the left side so the case would not completely click into the display. It also had horrible flicker and slight backlight bleed in the lower left corner. After reporting the differences and issues Google assured me that my 3rd replacment would not have any of the previous defects. My third one is rock solid. No flicker, no separation issue. Speakers are clear.
To answer the OP question: Screen separation is purely cosmetic unless you have other issues ie touch response, backlight bleed, flicker etc etc. But, when you pay a couple hundred for a device, you should not have accept any of those issues.
Kind of a nuisance. However, the fix is rather simple. I used the heat solution.
Screen lifting advice needed.
Had my N7 about 2 weeks.
Perfect out of the box; beautiful graphics, no screen lift, no dead/stuck pixels, etc., etc.
About 2 days in I got a verrrryyyy slight screen lift on left side with attendant squishiness. Not too bad and I can live with it.
About 3-4 days later the right side gets the same issues as the left side. Still not annoying enough to RMA it.
I have a Skinomi screen protector that came yesterday and I'm wondering if I should try the heating solution before putting on the screen protector. I'll probably have to use an external heat source as I'm having screen lift on the right side and from what I've read on these forums, the heating from playing videos/games is focused primarily on the left side.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
heating solution =
1. heat
2. clamp
3. cheer?
I have just a little lift on the left side, and a bit of flicker at very low light levels. Other than that, nothing.
The flickering bugs me the most and I'll probably return it in a couple of months when they have (hopefully) worked out all the issues. They are factory defects and with a 1year warranty returning it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, this is my first tablet, first Android device for that matter, and I love it. Way more convenient than my laptop for everyday browsing and email checking. GO Nexus!

What do you mean by backlight bleed?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I completely understand not wanting to put up with issues, but to use the price point as a reason is pathetic. The nexus 7 is a hell of a lot of device for a little bit of money compared to the competition.
So how about complaining without the "for this much money" excuse. That excuse should be iPad exclusive.
Back light bleed is when you see light around the edges of the screen, usually only visible in the dark.

Dark patch on screen

Has anybody else noticed a dark patch on the edge of their screen? Along the top side of my screen, I can see it going off white when browsing a website in portrait mode for example.
It's like the back light isn't working properly there or something. Anybody else got this, should I get a replacement?
It's not hugely visible but it's noticeable on a white screen at any brightness level
Idk, it's up to you. I have light bleed in my right hand corner that is always visible, unless your in a well lit room on 0% brightness. I can't decide whether or not I want to send mine back though because of how common these backlighting issues seem to be.
Yeah. Mine is flawless otherwise. Its so barely noticeable I think I'll just get used to it.
Same ha ha, other people can't even spot it when i point it out to them on auto-brightness.
Yes, I noticed mine right away, but like others have said, its hardly noticeable. It doesn't bother me at all...
Sent from my Nexus 10 baby!
Same thing here. Most noticeable on a solid white background. I'm starting to think it's not a lighting problem but something to do with the way the panel is manufactured. If I hold the tablet in landscape so it's perpendicular to my face with my eyes lined up with the camera, the brightness is even across the panel. As soon as I tilt the bottom towards me, the brightness falls along the top edge. Makes it seem more like a viewing angle issue related to the way the layers are assembled or maybe a difference in pressure on the panel along that edge.
I decided to live with it because it's very rare that I have an app running in full screen that puts a light background across that area.
Same issue for me as well

I had the same issue with my first unit, did RMA and got second one. Second one had the exact same issue. Finally decided to get refund. The play store customer support said that there were few people reporting it already. This might be a design issue as well- the way device is tapered differently at the edges(backlight might not be aligned properly), two strong magnets near camera etc. Just speculating.
Dark patch here too. RMA process underway. 1/3 of screen has yellow tint. Noticeable when reading on white background. Annoyance.

Keep us posted on the replacement device!
Same problem here. I received my Nexus 10 yesterday and notice dimming primarily (exclusively?) along the long edges. While reading a web page with a white background in portrait mode I found myself wondering if chrome was adding a gradient to the edges for some stylistic effect, but realized that made no sense. I observed the same problem with Firefox, and then I installed a screen testing app and observed the dimming with a solid white screen.
It sounds like this is probably a manufacturing/design error. Now I have to decide whether it's worth the rigmarole of exchanging the device, probably to no effect. I guess this is the risk you take when purchasing a device sight-unseen.
If you bought it from a store it would still be unseen, since it would be in the box. I had the same problem with the iPad 3. It took me three exchanges to get one with an acceptable screen. All of them had dark, blotchy, yellow patches. By all accounts it's due to the adhesive glue they use. We shall see what the replacement brings. Order is currently at the 'pending' stage.
I also have this on my screen. Right side when in portrait mode. You can't see it in landscape, which is weird. My wife and I have decided to keep it, though, as everything else about it is perfect. Plus, this defect, if you want to call it that, does not detract from our enjoyment and uses.

To clarify, I meant that I'd never had the opportunity to use *any* Nexus 10 in person. Had I done so, and noticed the dim edge, it would have at least raised the possibility that there was a design or manufacturing issue.
Speaking of which, I examined an in-store Nook HD+ display unit yesterday and what do you know: it had the same dim edge issue.
By the way, where did you hear about the adhesive glue explanation?

Mine has--I assume--the same dimness along the entire length starting about 1/4" from the bezel along the "top" camera edge. It is actually somewhat distracting when reading a book in portrait mode. If I flip the screen around so that the dimness is on the left edge, for some reason I find it much less annoying. Unsure if this is a warranty replacement issue though. I haven't found another Nexus10 to see in person yet.

It was all over the iPad forums when the iPad3 came out. Plenty of people with dodgy screens. Some reported success in leaving brightness turned up to max and plugged in for 24hrs etc to dry. But may have been placebo. It could also be an entirely different cause other than adhesive. After all, what do I know? In any case, mine's heading back, but the replacement is still stuck on 'pending'
I had a rare bit of luck. Somebody sat next to me on the bus yesterday evening and pulled out an oddly familiar black tablet. I explained the problem I was having and asked if I could examine his Nexus 10. His device had a perfect display, with no detectable dimming near the edges. So the issue appears to be a manufacturing defect, not a design flaw, and something that could in principle be solved with a replacement unit.
I called Google last night and have my RMA email. I'll ship it off this weekend.

Backlight bleed

Hey I just got my tablet Z off preorder and love it. I have noticed today that there is a bit of backlight bleed (especially on the bottom) which is really noticeable during the startup screen. Also any pressure put on the edges of the screen produces a crazy amount of light leakage. Is this normal? Are others finding this too? I would like to know before I go and exchange.

The back near the camera is fine for me.
I am more ok with the pressure marks given how thin the tablet is. That is understandable if everyone has it. I am more concerned about the two or three spots along the bottom with severe bleeding when there is no pressure put on the screen.
Do you have the same issue like in below film ? It happens when i lightly press front or back cover in top right or left down corner.

Won't be doing anything about it mate. Isn't noticeable unless you purposely press on it.
I didn't even notice it until i saw this video.
Its visible with high brightness and if you purposely preasure top right corner in the back. Somewhat happens if you preasure front too but with much higher force. Nothing to be worried about as its only visible upon application and is not visible when you hold it. Also its quite awkward /uncomfortable to hold it with just one hand and fingers just 2cm from the edge basicly like you would be trying to pinch it.
There is no bleed otherwise.
Mine has noticeable bleed along the bottom even with no pressure applied. Ill have to exchange mine.
"noticeable during the startup screen"
I have this yet almost every tablet I have had shows allot of bleed/light at startup then gone. As for pressing around the edges, left side top none. Right side no but looks same as if I press on my monitor at home. Bottom yes but its flash of tiny light and just where I press and goes right away.
My only "problem"? is battery. It charges great I just cant use it while charging. If using it it shows charging but drains still just slower drain. So I have to not use it if I want to charge it. This is a killer for me. I will be sending it back.
Battery and blacklight bleed are killers for me. No bleed here..

I exchanged the unit and now I have no bleed. Very happy. As far as the drain goes, I notice this someones on my Xperia Z phone. Im tending to think that as these devices become more powerful, the battery used to operate them is being used at a faster rate than they can be safely charged at. It sucks but not a deal breaker for me.

Serious light bleed on the bottom of the screen
Bump on this one..!
Guys I have exchanged 4 different units , 1 black and 3 whites Xperia Tablet Z LTE, over the past week here in Greece and ALL of them have serious backlight bleeding issues on the edges and especially on the bottom of the screen !! Really annoying when wathing full HD videos which have black bars on the top and bottom of the screen
I cant believe there are only a few reports about this issue here. Could this be a bad batch here in Greece ?
Have you all checked with the light bleed app and 100% brightness in a dark room??
I notice a bit of shadows from The buttom of the screen when viewing White websites, but it's nothing major. For me, The light bleed is really only noticable on the boot animation, and not during normal use.. Still it's quite a concerning design flaw..

Yes it is concernig
For some people its ok, it doesnt bother them. But not for me..
Too bad, because other than that, this is an excellent tablet!! Probably the best out there.
I thought the Z tab was one of the few tablets that seemed less prone to backlight bleeding complaints. I had a 16gb which I returned for a 32 version and both were absolutely perfect with the displays. I can't say the same about any transformer pad I have tried/owned.

Issue: Vertical lines of glittering dots on N4 screen

Hi,
This is my first post on xda and I am sorry for making this about an issue. But this is the first time I didn't get the solution by searching.
Since today morning, I can see vertical lines of glittering dots on my screen when viewed under direct sunlight. Its there even when the screen is off, and is as if a row of pixels have become shiny and are reflecting light. It is visible only under direct sunlight and viewed straight on, and keeps moving in left right direction.
Its not the digitizer pattern under the screen, but these dots do seem to appear along the vertical edges of the digitizer grid
I got the phone just two weeks.. And was extremely happy with it. No yellow patches, no significant earpiece buzz, some issues with microphone but that's something a lot of people face. Dont know if glitteting was always there and I just noticed today or it happened all of a sudden, but this thing has really given me a big jolt.
Phone is a white nexus 4, rev 11 build 513k. Running franco kernel with stock rom.
I have this as well and was never 100% sure if it was just the construction of the screen or my screen protector. As you say, it's only visible to me at certain angles in direct sunlight so hasn't really bothered me.
It's normal.

This info is correct.
What you are seeing is the digitizer (used to detect touches on your screen)
Unfortunately there is little you can do about it as it is fused to the screen.
They are only really visible under direct sunlight so it's not that big of a deal. Mine look like tiny light blue dots
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Thanks everyone for the quick replies.
Just to clarify.. I am not talking about the checkered digitizer patterns which are visible under sunlight only when the screen is off.
What I am seeing is a single row of glittering dots, which moves on the screen and is there every time I am viewing the screen in sunlight, both when screen is on and off. The digitizers are visible at an angle, this is visible straight on.
Now when I am viewing something on the screen and I see rows of glittering dots moving about.. I get somewhat disturbed.
If it is expected behavior I have nothing to complain. But to put my mind at rest.. I'll try snapping a photo and uploading it tomorrow morning for you to take a look.

Those rectangular shapes are part of the IPS screen, the dots are part of digitizer.
That's totally normal, I've had it with every touchscreen device I had been in contact with. Xperia Neo, Xperia Ion, and Nexus 4.
Great!!
Now that everyone has hammered it down my head that it is normal, when I checked it today it didn't look that bad except when I see dots bounce around when I am typing
Guess a lot of it is psychological.. :angel:
So I am gonna drop this now and accept that this is expected. Thanks everyone for putting my mind to rest.

Misaligned screen

So I have the edge since the 11th now. And every time I have the feeling that the screen is centered to the right side, I notice it extra with a case. As the area between the bezel and the screen is larger on the left side.
This afternoon I looked with an magnifying glass and indeed saw that this was indeed the situation. It is about 0.1 mm or so but oh so annoying. Luckily I can exchange it, however there will be only phones I stock around the 30th. Keeping mine thill then.
Are there others with the same issue?
The attached version is not my phone, but just an example to explain.
To better understand what i mean I attached a picture. I have the black version but you could see it as the black line on the right side of the phone is thinner than on de left, so the screen is essentially to far to the right..
not the best picture for judging...
But I know what you are talking, I have seen a few devices now and all of them were different in terms of screen quality and alignment!
for me, the worst problem is the uneven contrast (darker sides) on most of the screens. i own 3 devices now and all of them have display flaws. two suffer from a yellow tint when tilting, the other screen has a slightly darker left side... :|

I know. When my S6 comes back from warranty repairs I will try to make a picture. The S5 I have laying around can't focus clearly enough.
Well I hope I won't have a replacement with tint issues or such. Because my screen is, aside of the alignment, pretty perfect. Maybe I'm a bit nitpicky but I think that's justified with these kind of price tags.
I still have till the 30th to get used to it or exchange it. An order for a replacement has been made.
People complain about issues of screen color when tilting the device.. When are u ever tilting the device? U should be looking at it dead on anyways.
Honestly I don't see anything from ur picture, maybe ur just crazy.. If it is a little little misaligned who cares.. It's the curve part anyways..

The picture I used is just to explain what i mean with the black lines on my phone. Imagine that picture with no black line on the right of the phone, so the screen blends in with the white. And a bigger black line on the left.
That's what i have, but my phone is black so i cant put it on a picture to explain it.
I can really only tell in a dark room, but there is ever-so-slight light leakage where the glass meets the metal on the bottom of my S7 Edge. I see the slight leakage on the bottom-left and bottom-right. Doesn't bother me much, maybe a little, but my experience with smartphones is you'll be lucky to find one with absolutely flawless everything including screen alignment. It's often not worth exchanging for a new one, which may have other issues. Plus there's the whole issue of setting the phone up from scratch again. My device seems to be working fine (this is my 5th day with it) so far, so I won't be exchanging it.
After reading this thread I checked mine and its is misaligned like you described. I then went to Samsung and they checked and said that its normal. Now that I see it, its driving me crazy.

Same
Same **** with me. My screen is also misaligned and its driving me nuts with this phone price i dont know what to do about it. I have s7 edge btw same **** all over with the s6edge. I really didnt notice it when using the phone. I noticed it when im checking out the phone looking how pretty it is then when i turned on the screen i noticed that the left side of my screen has a thinner black bezel and when i look on the right it has a little bitty gap.
