it will be a ***** to unglue your screen from your black (i guess it is black) current housing w/o breaking it. you need a special oven to do so. like the one that service centers have. so in my opinion do not do it.

Just wondring if you did this yet?? Im looking at doing the same. I did it with my original SGS and it wasn't difficult. Love to hear how you got on

A rainbow blur appeard on the display off TG01

Hi all!
Today I observed a rainbow blur on my TG01 upper display, it's seems like a liquid ,but it's under the surface and I can't clean it. It's like the crystal liquid it's came out somewhere or somehow.
It's could be a fissure or it's something else?
If it is, how it's this possible, because I treathed this phone like a jewel?
What do you think ,what it is.....?
I uploaded two photos about this.
What should I do?
Sorry for my english.
Thank you for answears.

There is no Screen protector uplied by me, it's in same shape like out of the box, only that, this movement was 2 months ago (out of the box)
I had the same with my first TG, that because you put it in your pocket without big protection.
This big screen don't like a "hold pressure"

That's mean that it can't be returned or changed in warranty at Orange?
How do you managed that?

Thank's , I will give it a try, and keep you inform about the situation.
my touch its dead
So I started testing.
the problem its touch screen.
display its ok!
touch screen is on a plastic surface.
Initially there was very little distance between the two
because of adhesive tape on the plastic (touch screen)
after a while they are to close, and then see those refraction,
the rainbow.

Thank's It's very good information, this way we know that rainbowing effect it's caused by the construction of the phone and can happen with anybody, so in this cause Orange (in my case) must replace the phone in guarantee...
I will keep you guys in touch.
Unless I'm very much mistaken this rainbow effect is harmless, because you can't see it when the backlight is on, and it doesn't affect device operation. It doesn't look as good when the device is turned off, but that's about it.
Or am I mistaken?

the rainbow that u see on the screen is called a newton's ring, it happens from pressure applied on the screen, it only happens to resistive touchscreens and not capactive, and if u dont take care of it, it may start to spread, i recommend that you should have used to screen protecter beacuse it usually helps protect this from happening, good luck!
What kind of screen protector would you recommend? Surely any kind of transparent soft case will apply the same kind of pressure to the screen. Or do you mean some kind of hard case that prevents any contact with the screen?

Good advice, keep it in mind!
Keeping it in my trousers' pocket costed me a bloody display(no kidding...)!!!
Hi guys
In Poland We have this same problem.
This is a unstick touch layer.
The reason of problem is bad heat dissipation from procesor.
When We use very strong own TG01 the Snapdragon have about 60'C and this type touch display is very susceptible to heat.
This problem is general problem of users TG01.
The cost of new touch display is hmm about 45 Euro.
After about 5 months use the first "oil spots" appear on the display.
When We use with this problem after 1 month have problem with less sensitivity of the screen.
i just saw the same thing with my tg01 today...but it`s a lot bigger...about 3 quarters of the screen but in the center...what should i do?
ps: i keep it in my jacket pocket...and there is no presure on it...i don`t know what could o caused this...

[Q] What did they give me for a new screen?

My wife broke her screen on Friday and we went to a local shop to get the screen fixed yesterday.
This morning she mentioned that she thought the color on the new screen was different. She also pointed out that the buttons at the bottom didn't light up the same.
They practically don't light up at all.
The screen seems a bit dimmer as well. Not as bright and clear.
Is there any way that I can find out what kind of screen they put in her phone short of threatening to bulldoze the shop unless they put the right screen in?
I'm more than capable of dissasembling the phone without killing it and now wish I had but wifey wanted a working phone *today*
Can anyone help out? Are there any part numbers I can use to see what she's got now?
can you take a picture of the phone from upwards, and from sideways (to see if the screen is thicker than it should be)
sounds like it's a regular LCD screen

not without taking it apart first
You can tell if its LCD by how deep the blacks are.

definitely got shafted. you got an LCD screen. i'm pretty sure the local shop orders their parts from eBay or some chinese supplier. those screens are usually LCD even tho some may claim its amoled. the only way to get a genuine Super AMOLED screen is to contact samsung to replace it. i remember reading somewhere than samsung is not distributing their Super AMOLED screens to 3rd parties

I used to be a cellphone technician for a short time and I can tell you that we fixed screens on a lot of touch screen phones... but all the parts are dirt cheap chinese knockoffs!!! There is NO local shop that uses original OEM parts!!! unless u send it back to tmobile or etc!
to answer short and accurate u didnt get the same screen ur vibrant came with!

Now I really feel like a total idiot

[Q] White stuff around the bezel and the home button

Hi,
I just got a new Galaxy S II from Virgin Mobile Canada. It looks amazing, however it has some white stuff going around the bezel and the home button. Doesn't look like dirt.
Anybody has any ideas on what it might be? Is it normal?

Hard to tell from the photo, but could it be light?
My old one looked vaguely like that - although much worse - after I dropped it under a tram. The screen was obviously smashed, but there was light lreakage everywhere around the bezel and what was left of the home button.
Nope. Its not light leakage. Its white powdery stuff.
that cant be right for a new device my advise would be to send it back and ask for another as it could be a refurb or something
White powdery stuff could be battery corrosion or wet electrical corrosion .
Have you tried sniffing it ??

Sniffing white powder never ends well
OP, did it come like that out of the box? Or had you had the phone in your pocket for a while before you noticed the white stuff?
After a while of having my phone in my pocket, I get a lot of what I can only assume is tiny particles of pocket lint all over my phone, and it works its way in between the case and the phone. I have to clean it every now and then.
If you use a can of compressed air to blow at it, does it get rid of the particles?

Firstly try to clean the screen without any stain or greases...
Try to tweak the sensitivity by changing the figure in /system/usr/idc/max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc (touch.filter.level = 5)...
Try to play around to get the best for ur device...
BTW white water marks due to water damage device??

This device has no water damage, that's what i wanted to say . Because of touch.filter.level: Sorry that i didn't sayed that i already tryed this whith best results @ 7, which is too high for a pen input, but the device doesn't go crazy that often.
Yesterday i've seen that you can fix this on Nexus 4 by reisolating a cable. If this is the case on ZU i'm gonna send it in for Warranty.

Better just send back to Sony...
I'm facing similar problems with my ZU =/
After I've tried to replace a protective skin for my display, the phone started to present ghost touching. I mean, a LOT of ghost touching. As my warranty expired a few months ago, I sent the phone to a private maintenance and now they want to replace the whole screen.
Do you think I'll have to replace the screen or maybe there's a way out of this? Here in Brazil, replacing the screen can be as expansive as buying a new phone (and I must confess that I'm tempted to forget about my Z Ultra and buy a Z2), so if I could fix this in some another way... well, that would be terrific.
Thanks in advance!

maybe this will help. Its the Fix i found for the Nexus 7
I started to have a lot of that Phantom touches after taking off my aftermarket screen protector. **** was so annoying. I still have the anti shatter film but don't want to mess with that crap so I installed another screen protector and everything is normal again.
It has been 1 month since installing the new screen protector and no ghost touches.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app
Well... I must confess that the idea of installing a new screen protector never occurred to me
I guess this could worth the shot, actually. Anyway, I've ordered a new display (got a really good price... way way cheaper than the official maintenance was charging), so if the new screen protector won't work out, I'll proceed to replace the whole display.

yellow spot on screen need help to find replacement screen

guys I need help, my phone dropped in water and apperiantly water managed to escape through the phone, and i turned it off immediatly and once i dried it out in a rice bowl for about 2 weeks, i turned it on and it had this 3D look on it and it yet had some bright dots on the screen and I thought it was water drops so i decided to dry it out more in a hair dryer and i put it on very hot and i kept on the phone for a couple of minutes and there was a yellow spot on the screen i think it got burnt or some thing and the company wont fix it for me under warrenty and I wanna fix it my self but i dont know what screen to buy
this?

whats the difference between both and which one will solve my yellow spot problem?
First one is third party production, so not from Sony. Can be fine, but it's your choice.
Second is a ripoff. I would recommend to search for an original one but I'm sure you can find it cheaper then there.

hmmmm what i meant was, the first one is only screen and the second is with frame or some thing, whats the difference?
buy screen include frame, speaker, button, headset port and usb port, make sure waterproof seal is good. so you only move phone motherboard, camera and battery. buy Screen include all of them is more better quality of screen, beware bad quality screen is possible ghost touch (lifetime touch screen is bad). I also specially services xperia. I recomended you buy screen like in my attachment (like phone without machine).
and for backdoor/backcover if want to waterproof can use original addesive, usually I use Dextone silicone sealant (pict in attach), green fast drying - orange more time to dry. dab a little silicone on the frame to be taped
not too much, and leave 10 minutes before sticking backcover
I hope its help.
sorry for my english
