Screen not flat, slightly raised?

The glass screen on my desire hd isnt flat abd the right hand centre edge is slightly raised and half a milimetre raised, its noticable if i run my thumb across the right side i can feel the glass edge, but not when i rub it over the left side which is fit perfect.
Could you guys check yours and see if you have something similar

I don't have mine yet (tomorrow I will), but this is a no brainer. Send it back to HTC and your store and get a new one.
It shouldn't be this way and if it really is the higherst point the change of dammage (it can come from repeatingly getiing it in and out your pouch even). is high.
Sad to hear it isn't so good.
EDIT: it isn't a problem if you feel the metal. That's good. But the screen should never be higher then the rest of the frame.

in a earlier thread i raised this, i have since found out that it might not be a design issue.
A years manufactures warranty exists on the phone... so to some extent ill be ok if the screen becomes worse.
if you want to send it back, make sure you read the warranty carefully though as they may also be something to catch you out. make sure you don't have custom firmware as it potentially can void the warranty

If we can get other desire hd users to confirm how their phones are it would be great, im over the moon with this phone. I could probably live with it, but its brand new and thats how it was out the box, could other xda users please inspect their dhds closely please?

There are sooo many threads open regarding this issue.
It seems like the screen in intentionally lower than the case to protect the screen from scratching when you face the phone down.
However, the screen should be equal for both sides but yours seems unequal so it might be faulty

This is what the issue is, see in the picture, anyone got anything like this at all?

Okay I think yours is faulty for sure...I haven't seen anyone reported that at all. The screen should definitely be lower than the case.

Definately not normal mox123. I have had 3 DHD in total now and can say that none of the screens were raised like this. I have come to the conclusion, however, that the build quality of each handset varies alot!

Im gonna call the network on monday and get this sorted out, overall handset is perfect apart from this minor flaw

Worried about that dust might get into the phone

As there are plenty of "holes" in the body of the Galaxy Note, are you afraid that dust might get into the inside of the phone, and may contaminate the screen?
Or, has this happened to some one?

I don't think that'll be a problem since the screen and the glass is really really tight together. It's not like 2 years ago when there was "huge" gaps between the LCD and the glass. Haven't seen or heard from anybody with dust problems.

Yeah I'm worried. So I have a screen protector and a case. And I keep it in clean places.

Well I work in a joinery shop, very dusty and I'm not worried and not a speck under my screen
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

doesn't have any smart phones a lot of holes?. i cant see that the note have more or bigger holes then the rest?. but aside that. i use smart phones the last 8 years now, starting with a P900 up to the HD2. and i can assure you these phones have seen places you even cant imagine if you have not being there your self, when the talk came to dirt & dust. and i never ever had any dust under the glass of my phones. so i'm pretty sure the note is safe/unsafe as any smart phone in that point.

Isn't the point of super AMOLED that the glass is bonded to the display without any gaps ie it should be impossible for dusty to get in in between?

What specifically about the Note would worry you more than any other smartphones/tablets out there? Dust is always a possibility, but minor at best. The Note is just like any other phone...prone to dust but not a concern.

I learn from my mistake when having htc sensation. A whole speck cloud of dust come from side of the screen and it is major flaw design discussed in sensation forum.
Well, past is past, for this Note, im taking good care of it. Im never put it inside me pocket without its bag carrying! Anyway, thanks to Amoled, i feel much better

Yep, that's what i've read. That's a key difference between AMOLED and Super AMOLED. SAMOLED will give us the illusion that we're touching the display panel directly since it's bonded to the glass. AMOLED/LCD is not. So i would think that it's nearly impossible to get dust under the glass.

not worried about lint getting into my screen, but it is nice to have rubber caps covering the ports on my ringke case. I have some phones where there is a bunch of lint in the usb ports

Screen protector and case will help your worry. Though if you apply the screen protector there is a possibilty of getting dust underneath it resulting in you thinking there could be dust under your screen

[Q] Blobs on screen that only show when screen is dark?

Hi All,
I think I may have to return my Nexus under warranty, I am delighted with it as a tablet but have noticed I am getting blobs appear whenever the background is dark and especially on black backgrounds, I have taken a photo of them with the tablet turned off.

It's probably the oleophobic coating coming off.

I will post a photo to show you what I mean as soon as I am permitted to.
I am surprised many people ever get past 10 posts on this forum having to type the image verification code every time and having to wait 5 minutes between posts and not allowed to post images or links!

Anyone got any ideas now photo is up?

Maybe from your case? My case gets little dust marks on my screen.

No, not dust, I have circled the 4 blobs in orange.

Like I said before, it looks like the oleophobic coating coming off. It's really strange that it would be coming off on a pattern like that... Is there a part of the case that has those 4 dots that could be rubbing on it?

I have something similar with my screen. It looks like a smudge fingerprint on the left side of the screen. I can wipe it off but it always comes back. I've tried soap, lens paper, water but it keeps reappearing after a few hours.

Checked and definitely no pattern like that on the case + when its closed it doesn't touch the screen anyway.

Just thought I would update on this, the problem didn't really get any worse but also didn't resolve so I have recently sent it back to Asus as it was nearing end of warranty period and they have put a brand new screen on now so a good outcome.

Xperia SP Deficiencies Thread

Hey I wanted a place where people can post deficiencies or malfunctions that can only be fix(or not) by returning your beloved Xperia SP. Here is mine, it looks white powder or speck under my screen that seemed to magically appear.

I have the same problem !

In my SP the lower left corner where you take off the back cover has lifted completely (not the cover itself, the internals lifted too), so there's like a 1mm gap between where the plastic cover sits and the aluminum frame
Tried to push it down but it doesn't budge (and I don't want to use too much strength or I might damage something else)
Also it doesn't look like any screw is loose
Really weird problem, hopefully warranty won't BS my about this, I never dropped or scratched the phone or anything...

Mine is like that too! I forgot to mention it. The bottom of the very cover is raised (not flush with the light bar)

The only problem I have is, the screen not waking up sometimes. Other than that everything seem to be normal.

OPO is one durable phone!

So I'm not really sure where this belongs but I'll just post here...
Today, I had a really ****ty day and got into a super big blow out with my girl (ex girl now) and long story short she would not leave my apt and kept yelling in my face. Obviously after minutes of this I lost it and hurled my phone against a wall in a fit of rage... Probably close to as hard as I could (90%). Anyway, the phone put a big hole into the drywall and she ended up leaving. I went and picked up and dusted it off... Magically, not a single scratch or anything is wrong with the phone!
My OPO is a sandstone black 64gb wrapped in a tudia 2 piece case and a tempered glass screen prot... Granted there is a screen prot and case on it but I'm thoroughly impressed that this thing is not only 100% functional but still in pristine condition!

Sorry about your... wall
I'm sold about your case / glass combo. Can you share more details on which ones you are using please?
Thanks!

I had a tempered glass screen too. Phone fell from my hand on the concrete floor while I was talking on the phone. Both tempered glass and the case broke but not a single scratch on the phone. I did have to change the screen protector and the case but yeah phone was as good as new.

The case is a tudia slimfit cygen and the screen prot is the orzly tempered glass screen prot.

Sorry to jump in conversation but do you feel border of the orzly tempered glass ? I'm thinking seriously about buying one. I don't usually use this kind of protection but with this screen size I fear to scratch it with jeans button or zipper. :-/

Just don't rub it on your crotch too much and you should be ok
Seriously though, the Nillkin 9H tempered glass protector is excellent quality, very thin, and cheaper too I think.

If there was no case on the phone you would be able to feel the edges of the screen protector... However since there is a case and it wraps around the front edges of the phone (providing protection if the phone is screen down) then its not an issue... Hope that helps

Sorry to hear about you & your ex-gf. I have the same set-up too. That's a serious hole in the wall you should get it patched up.
Note-to-self: Can use phone as throwing weapon when in a bind.

Nice move, I'm only sorry it didn't brake...
