I noticed that on the glass of the camera there is a scratch-like line, but in reality it is not, because as soon as I clean it with a cloth it disappears. But I touch it with my finger. The line is precise and parallel to the profile, I'm sure that it is not a scratch, because such precision is impossible.

I have a scratch on my screen (Imate Jam). The scratch is just on the plastic layer. The glass isn't damaged. Is it possible to remove the plastic layer, without losing the touchscreen. Where can I order a new plastic layer (not a screenprotector, but the plastic layer wich you can only remove when you open the device).
Yea, i have the same problem. Two-three minor scratches that can only be seen on white background. Is there a way to fix it, or even change the plastic layer as koole said??
If not, how much a new tooch screen costs?
The plastic layer you're talking about is actually part of the screen and the only way to replace it is probably to replace the entire screen. This is why almost everyone is using a screen protector.
Adding a screen protector may be the solution to your problems. I had a few ugly marks on my first ppc before I got hold of a screen protector, and it almost totally hid then scratches.
This is my first phone with a capacitive screen, so perhaps it is a quirk of them, but I have noticed that if I am not holding the phone in such a way that I am touching the metal bezel, the screen does not recognise touches that are close to the edges of the screen. It seems that the screen requires a circuit to be made with other metal parts on the phone before recognising the touch.
For example, if I put the phone on my desk and touch the backspace key with a single finger, nothing happens. If I keep holding my finger on it, and touch the metal bezel, hey presto, the button clicks.
This reminds me of a watch a friend of mine had a long time ago, that had a capacitive "hair trigger" button that only worked for him (because it required a circuit to be made with the back face of the watch, meaning when he pressed the button it completed a circuit through his body)
Anyone else noticed this? It is slightly annoying because I have to hold the bezel when I want to use the phone..
Confirmed.
And you might very well be correct in the assumption about the circuit not closing in every part of the screen. I think it's the nature of any capacitive surface tbh. If you press in the middle of the screen then there is enough adjecent space to actually complete the circuit while on the edges there is simply not enough space around your fingertip to not close the circuit at all. That is why touching the bezel works.
But as I have been holding my little Hero in my hand while typing anything I simply didn't know this little odd thing. I have read about it though.
Yet another reason to hold your precious little Hero in your hand...
Wierd not like that on my samsung.. its all plastic tho
Mine is the same.. especially on the right hand side of the screen. If it's in a case it makes it really bad!!
Sounds like bad shileding and grounding to me
Didn't notice this until I put a screen protector on but now it's really bugging me.
On a related note (metal bezel related), I've noticed that in dim lighting the button backlight flickers. But if i touch the screen and bezel, it stops.

Same here. Could it be that the screen protector slightly touches the aluminium casing and thus grounding the screen (or creating a wrong potential)?
I noticed that when i touch (=ground) the outer aluminum frame with just one single finger then the touch screen works flawlessly.
(I'm using the offical HTC screen protector).

Hmm definatly bad grounding issue. Its either some pretty poor design or a defect.
i confrim, using hero without touch the metal edge result in less responsivity and difficult on multitouch operation
hope new firmware can solve this, too many errors using it like a normal keyboard on a table!
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.

I have dropped my S4 a few times, luckily most of the times it was with the ultra thin plastic case. Case did the trick of stopping the glass shattering, but I've noticed an irregular shape appearing beneath the glass in the upper right edge (where the phone has fallen once). The irregularly shaped blob has different colour than the rest of the blue bezel around the screen, it seems that the screen has delaminated from the blue background layer on that part. Phone works without any problems.
Has anyone else been having the same problem (I've seen it also on my colleagues S4, same reason), and is there any easy way to fix it (applying heat/pressure to the delaminated part or something similar)?
The glass digitizer screen is stuck on to the LED screen behind it with an Optical Glue.
I wouldn't think that a small part would come away like that, more likely you have damaged the LED screen.
Hi all
Today I noticed that the left hand upper corner of my screen is lifting slightly above the edge of the frame, about 1 mm max. I can push it down but it lifts again after 10 seconds of so . I also discovered this affects the operation proximity sensor.
For example, when i make a call (phone, whatsapp, etc) the screen goes black and stays black until the call is ended, no matter how close the phone is to my ear. This indicates symptoms of the prox sensor not working. But if i hold the screen gently at the left top corner (effectively re-seating the screen) the prox works just fine during calls.
*#0*# sensor check confirms this as well. Prox does not work unless i hold the corner of the screen
Otherwise phone is fine.
Wondering if i need new adhesive on this part of the screen?
Any other suggestions please?
Solution...
Gently, very, very gently, lift the screen at both corners. Guitar picks are good for this. Only lift about 2-3mm.
Then get some double sided 2mm wide tape. Stick the tape along the top edge of the phone frame using thin tweezers. Best length is between front camera (on the right) and LED (on the left). Its a bit fiddly to get the tape into the exact position but it can be done.
Once in place remove the tape backing
Remove guitar picks
Gently pres on hold screen for the tape to bond
Hey presto.
