So I recently repaired the screen on my Nexus 4 and noticed that when I put a little bit of force towards the middle of the screen, pressure marks would appear (picture attached). The screen works fine other this this small issue.
Not sure why this is happening I cannot find a similar case anywhere and I'm stumped.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks!

My XDA Mini has a screen issue.
Only part for the screen (the middle) has stopped responding to the touch pad.
How do I fix this, has anyone else had it?
Cheers

My Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S) has just developed this problem. The touch screen does not respond to touches around the middle of the screen. The outside edges of the screen work fine however.
I've had it for about 4 years now though, so I suppose its lasted well really. It's a G4 and I installed a WM6.1 ROM on it about 6 months ago (which is awesome btw, makes the phone sooo much better / faster!) but I don't think this is related to the problem.
Any known fix for this? I think it's a hardware issue since I also have the problem where upon opening/closing the keyboard, the screen goes white with multicoloured vertical lines and the phone emits a high pitched noise (have to put phone into standby then wake it up again to resolve). This, whilst annoying, I can live with, but not now the middle of the screen no longer responds to touches
I read somewhere its to do with the ribbon cable that connects the screen and main board, its gets trapped or worn over time as the keyboard is slid in and out. So I guess the touch problem is a more severe symptom of this? Can it be fixed?
Also a point of interest is that I keep the phone in the case a lot of the time. Could the magnets have possibly affected the screen? Anyone else with this problem keep the phone in its case a lot?
Thanks in advance,

Got my Nexus 7 a few weeks ago...
Here's my problems:
Rear casing creeks on the right hand side of the device (where the buttons are) but only slightly,
Lower half of the touch screen stops responding sometimes,
After exiting a game or app it takes me to the far left home screen instead of the middle one,
It has stopped rotating for some reason (probably an easy fix),
Sometimes there is the odd screen glitch, like flashing of lines across the screen for a split second,
And there is some white noise when headphones are plugged in. And i would have expected slightly better audio clarity, but its fine.
Other than that its great! The novelty of a tablet hasn't worn off yet
My tablet is running the stock JB and is not modified in anyway.
Maybe somebody could help me with some of these problems?
Thanks
To be quite honest mate, I would send it back with that many faults!
I've only got a bit of screen flicker and I'm still temped to send mine back.
Back to what you asked, you could take the back off and tighten a few of the screws up inside. (Theres a thread on here about it). But for the other ones, I don't think there are any quick fixes.
Glad your still enjoying it, personally I still can't put mine down after a month
Still having them problems, but they aren't that bad. Still using my Nexus 7 all the time.
If I open the device, won't that void the warranty?
Thanks
Hi everyone i have one problem.
I have zopo c2, chinese mtk6589 device with 5" full hd display. Few days ago i dropped it and it landed directly on front screen. Vertical white lines started to appear and everything was covered with ghosts as i was swiping or opening apps. Today i spotted there are no more vertical lines but my screen is still kinda of blurry. Should i replace LCD or is it possible that some cable disconnected or maybe something else? Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Vertical lines and ghosting returned when i charged battery
Ive just bought a used Nexus 7 2012 to use as an e-reader, but Ive struck a problem. The screen seems to be oversensitive. Just holding the tablet by the bezel in certain places activates apps on the screen, or when I use as an e-reader turns the page when I dont want it to.. Its rooted, running stock 4.4.4. and otherwise works fine. There is a creaking noise from the case under the area of the bezel where the touch on the bezel activates things. Any suggestions?
Nobody with any ideas?
Solution
I've found the solution. I removed the back of the nexus 7 to look at the screws holding the screen on the device and there were two missing under the area where it creked. I've swapped over a screw from the other side of the screen and problem gone! As the device was a used one when I bought it I'm surmising that it has a had an smarter screen replacement at some stage and the screws were lost.
I hope this might help someone else who encounters a similar problem.
I would like to replace the missing screws but they are different from any I can find in old phones....where would I get the right screws?
Hi everyone one
I'm not sure this is the right section for my topic, if not I'm sorry and pls direct me.
So I got this phone from my brother whith a weid screen he has no idea how he got this problem, it had a charging issue that he already repaired after that this problem appeared
The phone screen looks a bit weird no scratches or visible damag. but the screen is blurry the contrast is a so hight that the colors are a bit off and are not seamless, and there is this stains as if the screen is brocken (see atached pictures), so far if I hide the upper bar the rest of the screen will looks normal as if there's no problem with it
Any Idea on how to fix this problem is the screen damaged ?
Thanks in advance
No fixing that I doubt, unless the cable for the screen is loose, in which case I still would not try to fix it yourself unless you're very patient and have steady hands.
To fix, you need screen replacement.
According to samsung technician at service center, the purple strain damage are caused by having the phone being press on or under high pressure such as putting the phone inside tight jean pocket or being sit on etc.
