I woke up this morning and there is a damn ant walking under my screen, it better doesn't die in a visible place, I'll try using sugar to lure it out, but anyways keep your device away from these damn ****s.
Edit: OK guys for now I think that I managed to crush it under one of the corners by applying pressure as soon as it left the screen, but you wouldn't want to wake up to a dead ant in the middle of your screen.
Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I just moved my n10 away from my ant farm.

How is this possible? I'm pretty sure that the screen area needs to be airtight to prevent buildup of dust. Does your screen have dust under it?
If an ant got in then that must mean that it is not airtight.
Hahaha xda ftw

God ****ing damn it, the damn ant was hiding and I come back to find it dead in the middle of my screen.
And no, there isn't any dust under the screen, I don't know how this POS got in there.
Spoon pics!!!! I wanna see a pic!!!!
Don't laugh, in December I thought "damn that's bad, I don't think that will happen to me" when I saw a similar thread and now look at this...
And if Samsung doesn't want to cover it I can use my back flex as an excuse to force them to do so... Right?
How do I contact Google?
If you ordered from the Play Store you can start there..855-836-3987.
Good luck, I hope this gets resolved... I'm thinking about carrying a stick of Grant Kills Ants in my N10 bag...

How else? Do they have an email for these things? I'm not in the US so calling is troublesome.
Here's section to email Google Play Support. I'd imagine you would choose the last option, general technical support question.
Sorry forgot the link and had to wait 5 minutes to edit: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=2715807&page=ts.cs

It's pretty sad that the gorilla glass isn't optically bonded like many other devices (MS Surface etc.), it's just a glass that's approx 1mm above the LCD screen (just air), if you press the glass you will see the glass touching the LCD

This thread is hilarious but I would like to just say that I had one of these in my LCD monitor and squashed it in the middle of the screen much to my dismay. Anyway I don't think they're ants but maybe Thrips. And it seems to be a common problem; see http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bugs+in+lcd+screen.
It's an ant, I've seen them (the same kind) wandering around my house or when I leave something with sugar in a random place.
Your Nexus has a screen "bug" . lol

Hey guys, im stressed out! I accidentally dropped my O1 on a hard ground on a road. Thank god the screen isnt crack only my left rubbery panel have a little invisible scratched a bit.
Im pretty upset. Do anyone have the same experience? Share your experience here so i dont feel alone and upset!

Relax, man. I've dropped it 5-6 times from 1-1,5m on a hard ground. I have few almost invisible scratches on the rubbery pannel. I think the side metal band is not only decorative, but provides some stress protection. The rubbery material diminishes the visibility of the scratches. Overall, it's a very sturdy phone, better built than 2X IMO.

You are not alone there and also you are lucky like me. Few days ago my HTC wildfire is also accentually doped out on the hard floor. Due to this some spots appear on the screen. I also share this incidence on forum. But no one know how to remove spots from LCD.

I'm not sure what it is, or if it's like a protectant layer that's wearing off.
But it's only in the lower half of the screen towards the middle.
It covers almost the whole bottom half, it looks like something splattered on it. But I can get it off with anything, I tried water, eyeglass cleaner, and Window cleaner.
It's really annoying I can feel the difference when I try to slide my finger across.
It's all fine when I clean it, it looks perfectly fine. But when I slide my thumb across is shows up.

It is actually the oil repellent(or something like that) coating, unfortunately, it is irreversible unless you get it painted again I guess, or replace the screen. your best bet is put on a screen protector.
This happened to BOTH of my previous android phones, Acer Liquid (happened really quickly because the screen is not very sensitive), Atrix (device too fast, so I browse the web on it too much so it has worn off too)
Moved on to HTC Amaze, I guess it is just the same, I better put a screen protector on first...
One question though, did you ever use screen protector? Both of my previous devices did, I wonder if they take a thin layer off when you peel them off....
Well I bought my phone used so I'm not sure.
The alcohol didn't work, so I'm pretty sure it's the coating...
Time to get a screen protector.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Well I can't really tell...
It almost acts like it's coming off, I can't really feel it anymore and I can only see it when I purposefully get my screen dirty. But it looks like something was smeared on it and half of it came off and it's in a hole bunch of little dots and globs.
Is this what yours looked like morris?

Has anyone got dust under their Amaze yet?
I have dust under mine and I'm wondering if there was any way (easy or not) to get it out. I emailed Wind and checked if maybe they could do something about it since I'm still under warranty, but if my warranty is one use only then I'll save it for when it's actually something more important.

The only way to fix that issue is to disassemble the phone and replace the front camera. Then make sure you tighten it enough so that dust can't get in. Hit thanks if that helps.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

Yesterday I cracked my phone screen when I dropped it. Not massively bothered given it's barely visible, and I'm not that impressed with the s3 generally anyway, BUT - do you think the screen is now MORE fragile with the crack if I were to drop it again, or LESS as with a crack there is now less tension on the glass?
I don't know but I wouldn't recommend you find out.
