small black spec under screen? - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

So I purchased my M5 8.4 off of Amazon. After about a day or so I noticed that it had a small black spec in the lower right side of the screen. I don't believe it to be a dead pixel since it doesn't behave like one. I'm convinced it is a spec of dust that got trapped there when they were putting the screen in place. Regardless, it is an eye sore that constantly draws your eyes towards it when you are on a white screen once you know it's there. So I called Amazon and got a return shipping label and ordered another one. This next one arrived with an even bigger black dot in a different location. Same thing I don't believe it to be a dead pixel just some artifact thats trapped between the glass and screen. So now Amazon is sending me ANOTHER one hahah
I know I'm super OCD about my screen. But honestly I could easily tolerate a scratch or defect on the body of the device but not the screen.
Has anybody else noticed anything similar with theirs? I'm praying this next one comes spec free :fingers-crossed:

That's really unfortunate for you. Didn't notice anything you described on my 10.8 pro

3rd one came in the mail today and not a spec in sight!! So glad I decided to keep swapping them! Nothing worse than a gravitational dot to ruin this beautiful screen! Cheers! ?

[Q] Screen Protector, which one should I ..?

Hello everyone, i've seen there are a lot films for the screen.
I need to replace it, but as far as i've seen, HTC does one which comes 9.9€;
Should i take it??
Or should i go for the ebay's one?

are there any differences??
thanks!!
I suggest to get the cheapest on. I,ve ordered alot of screen protector for my phones and they are all about the same thing.
I've ordered those one at 0.99$ from China and do the Job #1. I change it as soon as the shiny finis is gone (after 3-4 month)
don't get it too thik because you lose touch screen sensibility.
i was just about to buy the htc's..
I don't know which flavor phone you have, but AT&T currently has a three pack online for $5.00
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...060233&q_manufacturer=htc&q_model=prod4000225
I ordered three packs as the phone is no longer online and I am sure these will be gone soon too.
Get the AT$T ones as they are a perfect fit. I bought some off eBay and while they fit they were just slightly larger overall. This makes them not sit flat on the screen giving you a slight bubble along the edge and you can feel the edge with your finger when you slide it across. I've lifted mine inadvertently a few time because of this.

That's exactly the reason i entered this thread. I have had a pair of mirror screen protector sitting in a drawer for moooonthssss. The previous one was my first, but it did the job and time forbiding, i left it alone. But tonight i took a few minutes and installed the first of my mirrored screen protectors!!!
WOW
i don't get why all the others are still available. People you won't believe it!
I didn't pick any specific ebay seller. Just hit the cheapest i saw( i also bought the tv out thingy from the same seller, haven't tried that one out either)
You may read around that it darkens the screen a bit. That may well be so but no remarkably enough to stop you from using it!

Update.
All good, apart from direct sunlight. Everyphone suffers in that area, mirror screen protector sucks worse!
Honestly get the Zagg ones. I dropped my HTC Touch Pro 2 twice, while running, face DOWN, and it skidded for like 5 feet. I've got scratches on the inside of the phone, on the case, but the screen itself is perfect. Best money I ever spent.

I second the Zagg. Garanteed protection. I am done with those cheap dozen for a penny protectors that last maybe a month, bubble up, don't fit, peal off, etc, etc... Sure they are cheap, but what a waste of time...
I typically go with the full body style from Zagg to provide an almost complete protection of the phone and enhance the style. You can buy them from Zagg.com, Amazon.com or if you prefer the touchy feely you can typically get them at Best Buy. Come with an applicator spray and squeegie to ensure there are NO bubbles!
Just my 2¢...

[Q] Anti-reflective screen protector?

Hi I find that the advent vega is pretty reflective and am wondering what are peoples opinions on getting a screen protector for it? Also noticed the original one or one off ebay too.... any idea which would be better? Thanks.
bought some off ebay 2 for £9 cant fault them work like a charm
Any one else have any input? In day light it is almost imposible to use the tablet I have found.....
There are some screen protectors that does a great job on ipad however, bear in mind the screen quality/type is very important. so you can't expect the great view ability even with the best screen protector on vega.
I bought myself one and it actually made it worse. so I am using it without and try to find a shade if I am outside
I am using the standard one from Dixons / PC Word which certainly cuts down reflections and fingerprints, but you will lose some brightness.

Not fussed about loosing brightness, just hate that in the light you pretty much cant see the screen!
So maybe it is Dixons then!
I did buy one of the "official" screen protectors from PC World but hated it, it has a matt finish, and made a rasping noise every time I slid my finger across the screen. I binned it and got one from Poundland and cut it to size, miles better.
I think Poundland will be the place for me, even if it is an iPad one, all the protectors I have seen on ebay are for the screen only, not the whole tablet, unless anyone points me elsewhere

[Q] stains on the case?

I see on other forums that other people are experiencing the same as I. Got my Nokia 920 this saturday, and today I started noticing "stains" on the case started to appear. I have the black model, and have read from other people with the white model experience something similar. In mine case, an outline is starting to appear around the metal part of the camera in the rear. In the upper part of the phone(also in the rear) there are also two "streaks". It kind of looks like if I had polished the matte black color. I am very very picky with the looks of my phones. Usually after a year of use, my phones are as good as straight out of the box. These stains are not really noticeable, but I know they are there. That bothers me! Plus the fact that I do not like dropping big coin on something that will start to blemish after a few days! I feel like having purchased a vehicle at a used car lot where the paint looks beautiful, and a week later it starts to peel. I feel cheated!
Anyone experiencing the same? I am worried that if I take it to ATT and tell them about the stains, they will say I did it, and not change my phone!

Scratched screen out of the box (T-Mobile)

Just opened my brand new S6 Edge from T-Mobile and the screen has about 6 small scratches and 1 decent scratch on the top left of the screen.
You can barely feel them with your finger but if you hold it on an angle you can seem them.
On the phone with T-Mobile to have them send me a replacement.
On a side not this phone is beautiful. The display is AMAZING!!

I don't have time to take pictures and was just putting this out there to warn people to look closely at their screen.
The 6 or so little scratches I found are very light but absolutely there.
T-Mobile is overnighting me a replacement.
For the record it was a S6 Edge in black 32GB
I just checked my black 128gb one and it has a perfect screen,

My phone does.
Even if I wanted to take a picture it would be hard to capture anyway. They are very fine small scratches.

Why is it so hard to believe his phone arrived with a few scratches? Every company has a few defects slip through QC.
I'm not trying to light a match here because I am a new member, is it really xda's thing to asuume everything negative posted without pictures means there lying.
Maybe I'm old, (I am) but I always thought forums were about a community for help and support and a way for people with like minded interests to come together. If that's the case I imagine I should just stay a lurker taking advantage of the developers Roms and not offering any input or help to others.
Bit of a sad world we live In if this is how we now define a community.
Guess I just still live in a different time.
I believe. I've had the same issue with Samsung and Other companies in the past. Just one of those things that can happen during assembly. Good thing is that they will replace it because it's a manufacturer defect.
Anyway thanks for the heads up. Good to know to look for this when I go get mine on the 10th.

If you actually followed the conversation, you would see that the member threw insults at me for no apparent reason. So I guess if you believe that is allowed and permitted, then by all means....
My replacement is scratched up as well.. wtf
Same problem here. About half a dozen small hairline scratches in mine (128GB black). Not a huge deal, but I'm paying almost a grand for this phone, so I want it to be perfect.
Got a replacement coming, so hopefully it's alright. If not, I may just exchange it for the normal S6. Might be a manufacturing problem with the curved screen.
There is another thread in the general section with several people reporting the same problem. Not sure if samsung or tmobile is to blame but it is clearly a problem.
My phone actually had scratches on the back and light bleed by the bottom left corner. Im on the phone with tmobile but they are telling me the system wont recognize my phone's imei, possibly due to the phone not being officially released yet. They want me to order a new phone and return this one, and I will be credited. Wtf how are you guys getting phones overnighted? I reported the damage one the 2nd full day and according to the rep there is a three day grace period for damaged or defective goods.

Too late. I was just so frustrated that I followed their instructions. I ordered one with next day shipping and was told my original order would be completely refunded, including shipping costs. So it will be a wash in the end, but I probably won't get the new phone until tomorrow and I am not sending this one back until I get the other one.
I will say that my phone came with a small scratch by the multitasking button but at this point I don't care. I was mad at first but I hate calling to complain.
My 32GB black one came yesterday (4/2) with overnight shipping and it had a couple of scratches on the screen and top bezel. Not deep enough to affect viewing on the display but noticeable when the screen is off and you see the phone in certain angles under lights.
Like the previous poster mentioned, the scratches are not all in one direction or in a pattern. Mine happen to go diagonally on different parts of the phone. I am guessing it is because the plastic front and back glass protector it ships in is not fully attached to the phone. It's like a plastic sleeve with a open top and bottom so the phone has a little room to slide around against the plastic as the box is thrown around delivery trucks. Mine came in a shipping envelope instead of a box so even the box with the phone in it had room to move around as it went through UPS.
These initial scratches are not a deal breaker for me for now though. The more concerning part is that it appears there has been no improvement in terms of anti-scratching/Mohs scale with Gorilla Glass 4. So my concern is how the phone will hold up over time without a screen protector if it was scratched so easily before I even got it.

Xtremeguard spartan

I used to use these on my old 1+1 as they often have them on offer which makes them one of the cheapest and decent protectors.
Had a 90% off code (Take90) through today so thought I'd have a look if they have anything for the 1+5.
They only have a plastic film protector for the 1+5 showing in their site.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/OnePlus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/oneplus_5_screen_protector.htm#.WapXoiPTVnE
However when selecting that a Spartan glass option comes up at 29.99 (buy 2 with the code to work comes in at $6) the pair, which again is incredibly cheap.
I haven't ordered one yet to see if it's real or just a website error (shipping to the UK takes weeks and costs more than the protectors).
Wondering if anyone else has tried it stateside?
I may order them anyway, I seem to be amassing a collection of bits of sticky edged glass, so another one won't hurt.
I've ordered one. For a tenner I'll risk it. These used to be really good. Had one for my one plus one.

Taken the plunge too, will see how they fit, still looking for that perfect glass, thinking I will end up with just a decent TGSP and use my Fitbag for protection in pockets.

I've got a couple of these on order, although right now I'm fairly happy with my Nilkin/Otterbox combo gave up on the full 3.5D coverage ones, first one arrived broken, second one had debris already on the adhesive before lifting from the plastic.
Well mine has turned up today.
Compete utter sh#te..
It's about 3mm narrower than the screen (not the bezels the actual visible screen)
There's no borders but there's obviously the original screen exposed on the sides
I'm going to demand a refund.
Sorry if anyone else ordered one based on this thread. Very disappointed
Might be able to see the edge and how much is exposed on the right here.
Not the best quality photo, taken with my shield tablet..

Look like a similar cover to the Nilkin tbh. I'm happy with that as a solution, compared to the dark borders. The Otterbox case I use offers enough protection to the very outer edges due to the depth and my most likely damage would come from a more central hit/scratch.
I've received mine today and the result is similar I'm afraid.
I'll leave it on for a day or two but I reckon it'll come off since it doesn't cover the screen properly.
I really don't understand why it's this hard to make a screen protector that fits properly. Maybe OnePlus just gave the wrong measurements to all the OEMs?
In any case...
Pixel 2 out soon. Maybe that'll be an option.

XtremeGuard always sells complete and utter sh*t. Any company that has 90% sales once a month is lying to its customers and does not deserve my business.

Worst protector ever! Huge halo and cuts off a portion of screen like the million. Do not buy! I've already asked for refund.

So I wanted to get one but I don't have a credit card and shipping is 8 dollars!
You have to buy two products in order to get the code "Take90" to work
Same as Nilkin with an extra cutout for the ffc and proximity sensor. It's probably one of the best tgsp right now, full coverage units are currently all worse than this.
