[Q] Front panel etching? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today i finally removed the stock front panel protection film (after more than a year) and polished up the screen.
Once polished, i was admiring my reflection on the front glass under bright lights when I noticed a grid of minor reflective points on the glass screen. On further investigation, i found that there was a regular pattern etched on the front screen whose corner points were the reflecive dots that i was seeing. The pattern itself was made up of dashes, but you need super ultra high brightness lights to see more than the corner dots.
Anyone else notice this?
Anyone have an idea the pattern might be?

Its normal its from the corning glass itself u can see the grid dot when screen off then put it in the bright area id notice it to and its normal

Screen Matrix

Hey guys,
I just wanted to know just how visible your screen matrix(white dots on the screen) is? Mine is very noticeable, and I was wondering if that's the nature of the US Tmobile one. If not then I'll prolly try and get it replaced.
Thanks
I only see it under direct sunlight and usually only if the screen is off.
I admit that I like the grid pattern of small dots and bigger dots and the lines.

[Q] Water under screen - white spots remain

Hi,
weeks ago I have received a phone call during taking a shower, I picked the Trophy, completed the phone call with wet hands and after leaving the bathroom I noticed that water entered the phone; the screen was getting white from the bottom. The phone did not fall into the water, only some amount of water entered the phone (from my wet hands only). After couple of minutes, about one third of the phone's screen (from the bottom) was white. I did not know what to do, but after about an hour I noticed that the white portion of the screen was reducing slowly; it seemed that it is slowly drying. I left the phone until the morning when I noticed that the white portion reduced considerably and then day after day the white portion was smaller, it took about 3-4 days for the majority of white portion to disappear. Well, only the small white spots remained and now they won't go away, it's about three weeks now, they are not getting any smaller, so it seems they will remain.
Could it be that there are only spots on the inner screen (e.g. from shampoo) that should be wiped out manually or is it possible that the screen is broken?
Is it somehow possible to access the inner LCD screen? Do I have to remove the outer screen?
The spots are clearly visible on a gray screen (e.g. Internet Explorer's default tab), in general they are much more visible on the light screens. With dark screens (e.g. black) they are barely noticeable, they look more like a dust and you see them only if you look carefully.
The visibility of the spots is also very affected by the angle at which you look at screen; from some angles they are not seen at all, from some angles they are clearly visible. This is also valid for light screens.
I had no problems with the visibility of the screen when it was white, everything was displayed OK (e.g. I could read text), it was only a bit pale and these white spots now are simply annoying.
Thanks

Same here.
I have the same problem with my nexus 5, was wondering if you found a solution or did the stains go away with time?
I believe its the separation of the glue between the touch screen and the lcd.

[Q] Tiny white object under the glass screen?

Bought a Galaxy S4 on ebay a few weeks back. Didn't notice it at first, but when I sat down to apply a screen protector and wiped the screen clean, I noticed there is some sort of a micro object, like a white dot just under the glass. It is not a dead pixel, because it is there when screen is completely off, and when I tilt the phone and hold it at an angle I can see that LCD under this tiny dot is clean.
What the heck can it be? I doubt the seller changed the glass screen and wasn't careful when cleaning the LCD, but I suppose it is remotely possible since the phone has a nasty scratch with tiny chunks of plastic chipped off, on the bottom right corner of the silver bezel.
Anyone had a problem like this with their screen? Any way to fix this short of removing the screen?
Could be dust under the screen. If I was you I'd get it replaced if it bothers you. I dont think there is no way to remove it other than removing glass to clean it and reapply which I advice against.

slight ridge effect?

i wonder if anyone else seems to see what i am. with the screen off angle the screen to reflect white light. you get a kind of rainbow pattern. this afaik is fairly normal. but i notice on the top edge of the screen the rainbowing seems to compress. im assuming this is because the mesh within the screen is crimped within a frame. what im noticing on mine is on the top left hand corner theres a tiny oval blob of the rainbowing as if the layers are seperating underneath the glass
is anyone else seeing it in the same spot or just me
bumpiiddy?
anyone else

Space between bottom bezel and panel

Hi,
Just bought a new Essentail phone and noticed something funny.
There's about a quarter of a cm (0.01 inch) space between the bottom bezel and the screen panel itself, meaning it looks like the panel doesn't strech all the way down to the bottom bezel. This seems like a minor issue but makes the phone look weird for some reason.
Is this normal? didn't see it on my previous phone.
Thanks
does it have a screen protector?
Look like it is the screen protector and below that the screen itself.
I check on mines and dont have that space
*faceplam* Yeah, so the screen protector explains it.
This is by far the silliest message I ever posted online.
Thanks!
