Hey, I recently purchased a Grand Prime. Rooting is one problem, but I don't need a lot of pressure to form a rainbow circle on the screen. When I'm not applying any pressure, when viewing the screen when it is off in direct sunlight, I can also see a rainbow circle. And no, I am not using any tempered glass, or a case. I have used those, but removed them when I noticed the issue. I can post pictures on request, but I really don't want to damage my phone further if you can understand me correctly. This does not feel normal. Does anyone else have the same issue? Also, when placing the case on, it it will be constant, and it will get worse if I place a tempered glass protecter on. Is it an air bubble between the screen and the LCD? If so, how do I repair this? I do not want to replace the device, as I have data on it, and Helium Backup is seriously painful to set up (half of the time it doesn't even work). Any ideas anyone?
Update: I meant to post this on another forum site. Sorry, I was half asleep at that time, please forgive me for posting a hardware issue in a software forum. Although I would appreciate it if someone helped. Mods, move this to off topic forum plz.

Any kind of colour leak (rainbowing, etc) would indicate a defect screen
Sorry for the bad news but your phone needs to replaced

I understand that it can be replaced, however, is there a way to release any sort of air bubble trapped in the lcd? I removed the battery and started poking the battery compartment and I see some smaller rainbow circles where I am pressing. There is still some hope, right?

I bought a used nexus S today. and surpringly i found that an area (vertical rectangle) on the left side of the screen is not sensitive at all.
The screen is totally unresponsive on this area. So can you please help and tell me if it's a hardware problem or not? (no warrantly as it is a used phone)

Most likely hardware problem try and flash different rom and see if it fixes problem.if not its probably the digitizer that is causing the problem

rumor:
i have seen a problem very much like yours in other forum , in which , someone gave an answer and worked , but , i am not for if it is real or they were just bullshitting
get a lighter , you should have one if you smoke , take out that part which make fire , i dont know how exactly call it .
one way to identify it is what i want to say. if you put your finger over it , you should feel small electrical shock when you push the button
find that part , and shock the screen where unresponsive with it ...
don't ask me how is it works , i dont know ... you can either ignore me or take a shot...
good luck to you
....
you may not have warranty , but i think you can find some mobile shop to fix it , of course , you need to pay for it...

The flint???
No he's talking about an electronic lighter.
No idea how safe it is to send a shock of current through the capacitive screen though, read up more before you attempt.

Flashed different roms and results is the same.

Is it easy to change the digitizer?

No you need to seperate digitizer from the screen. Risking breaking the screen. You can buy the digizteir and screen that is preassembled buy it's pricy.
.around 100 I think. Buy the digitizer and take it to the local shop its probably cheaper that way.

I have the same problem with the area by the backspace and "p" keys in portrait mode and along the status bar in landscape with the charging port to the right.
I went running with my phone in my waistband. Stupid I know. When I got home, my phone was soaked and the screen was 100% unresponsive and the colors would change intermittently.
I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days in a warm area of my apt, but it hasn't fully recovered two months later. You MAY consider removing the screen and checking for particulates or trapped water vapor. I've been meaning to, but haven't managed to get the tools yet.
I'd be interested to here about your solution if you find one.
Best of luck.

but , be careful , i also read , this method MAY REDUCE THE LIFE OF SCREEN.
Thank you very much for your answer. As said above, things can't be worse. I'll try this method and tell you the results.

I had the same issue. Seems like the home button isnt the best built like the iPhone.
I had mine replaced by a whole new front panel (Included a new screen as well, which was good since I had 1 dead pixel)
Best bet is to get it replaced.
how's the new screen treating you? I need to get mine replaced because of blotches and lines, =(

The new screen is working just fine (knock on wood). Although its not as bright as my original screen at the same brightness level setting. But thats a very small marginal difference.
My home button is still doing this. Should I return my phone to get it replaced?..
Just figured out that I still had the plastic on the home button never knew it was there before because it is really hard to see. I but I peeled it off and my home button is a lot better now. I suggest anyone else having problems and doesn't realize it is there to peel it off.

Mine does this every once in a while, not enough for it to be a real problem though. The thing that's more annoying is when my back button double backs. I have to be real careful with it.
it really annoys me that you can't disable this 'feature'. Forced me to root to get rid of it.
I recently noticed a rather large smudge at the bottom of my screen
http://i.imgur.com/9lbMd.jpg
It does not go away no matter how much I wipe the screen.
Not sure if I caused this or if it came like that.
It is only noticeable when I use the device outside or shine light on it.
Does anyone else have anything like this?
I believe thats the oleophobic coating coming off. Have seen it a few times on here. Did you buy it from the play store or a retailer. Regardless they should let you swap it out for this issue. Use a screen protector on the new one.
It's the coating, it looks bad though. What have you been using to clean the screen? Cleaners with ammonia aren't good for the screen and if you're constantly using a sleeve it can wear through it as well.
Thanks, guys

those lines you see without the spots are just were the finger passed and cause some light refraction that doesn't enable to see spots in there but THEY ARE THERE ALSO! After you clean the tablet they are there also..
And when you clean your tablet you don't see no spots at all, only with a strong light pointed at it.. But the thing is.. the tablet can be like this from the factory/shop and you won't notice when you open the box.. just a few days later.. Be carefull with that..
---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------
As you can see, when the tablet is clean...
theres was no chance to see the spots when unboxing.
I'm having the same problem. The spot will not go away with any amount cleaning but it's not annoying enough to replace.

If it is the protective coating coming off then aggressive cleaning would only make it worse over time. I would suggest getting a screen protector to try and prevent it from getting worse, it's a good idea to use one anyway.
Today I noticed that when I charged my phone and it's lying with screen facing down it vibrates when I touch and move my finger on its back.
To reproduce this vibration- - -
While Charging your phone ,
put it on flat surface with it's screen facing down. Now touch and move your finger without breaking contact with the specified area.
Happened with OP3 too, that's to be expected when you have a metal case and no grounding - the charger has 2 prongs. The solution would be to ground the charger, but no phone manufacturer does that - it would make the charger bigger for no good reason - a few electrons on the phone surface during charging isn't a big deal.
This also happens with many ultrabooks, like the Asus Zenbook to give an example.
That happens with any notebook that has metallic case and power brick without grounding.
I didn't know that. And asked for replacement and pickup is scheduled for tommorow.
Does anyone know if all OnePlus 5 that have jelly effect,
have same kind of jelly effect or in some units it is stronger than other.
Giving the source of the effect (some extra calculations when rendering the image and refresh the screen) the effect should be present on each and every unit.
This is not really a defect, but more like a design consequence and each smartphone display has it to some extent (some display types/technologies might hide it better than others).

OnePlus 5 is shaping up to be quite a phone where no one knows what kind of *feature* they'll get.
Wait, what? This is a bug? not a feature?
I thought it was a really nice feature, haha, I love it and was looking up how to make it do it more consistently.
It feels so nice. My friend was impressed when she noticed it

Okey thank
I'm seating at my desk with my phone on my side over the mousepad and after hearing a very faint "pop" sound I notice there is a very clean single crack running from the top to the bottom of the screen. The phone was bought a month ago, never dropped, and it was not even being touched when it cracked. What could be the reason? Some type or thermal stress or just a manufacturing defect?
At the moment I'm living in a country without official Xiaomi support (Japan), is there anything I can do about it?
I'm quite surprised by what happened and I have never heard of a screen on a new phone cracking for no apparent reason.

I once put a Sony MP3 player at the window, in winter. At the morning it was cracked. I gotowe beating from my dad for breaking the christmas gify a dat after receiving it. Still wish these days came back though.
It's probably a manufacturing defect. Where did you buy the phone? You could try explaining the situation, but I think it would be a huge hassle, just take your loss and spend $30 on a new display.

I need only the digitizer, the LCD itself looks fine. Would it still not work well? I have never replaced a digitizer (or a screen) by myself, but on such a cheap phone I may as well try. Or is it an almost impossible task and I should just replace the whole screen assembly?
Also,isn't there a software setting for calibrating the digitizer? Using it can't I get the original performance?
I bought a €20 full hd screen for my Ascend P7 and it looked the same as the original. $30 is a normal price for a phone LCD, only OLED displays are much more expensive (another reason to avoid OLED screens on phones)

Not recommended, you save maybe 20$, but you still risk breaking your screen and having to wait another 3 weeks on a new one.
