My Poco fell out of my hand and luckily I had high quality tempered glass. Display was alright but tempered glass shattered So I removed it after examining the screen I noticed this single White Dot.
It's nothing, barely visible, but every time I see it I feel terrible. Is the screen broken or is it something else? Has anyone faced this problem? Please help.
That's a pressure point or dirt spot. I have a feeling something got displaced when you dropped it and is now adding pressure to the screen from behind. LCDs are very sensitive. Can also happen due to long term bending while in pant pockets.
Same can be seen on laptop screens as well. For example check the image attached of my laptop. Has been there due to pressure from bezel after a hinge break.
You can just go ahead and ignore it, imo.

Thank you for helping me out; I really appreciate your support. I was about to open this device to fix this but I guess I'll just have to ignore it.

I noticed there are dust in the front of my phone, you know, where the screen joins the sides bezel. While I may be anal, but I worry about dust getting in under the screen as have happened on my previous mobile phones.
Is that likely to happen to the SGS2? ie dust under screen.
Is there an skin that will go over the joining cracks to stop more dust getting inthere?
Yes there is dust between screen and the surrounding plastic, because of the small gap. But no dust under my screen yet.
I think Samsung took care of it.
you will hardly be able to get any dust under the screen since glass and the screen are one. so its kinda impossible
Agreed with the above comment. The Digitizer (Touchscreen) and the Display is joint together and it is not possible to separate them, hence there is no chance of dust getting accumulated between the Display and the Touchscreen.
Same with the Galaxy S
well, it seems that its not so impossible afterall...
I just can't believe me eyes just woke up this morning and reached for my phone, after a small wipe of the screen i saw one little spot that wasn't coming off... after a closer look i realized that the little spot of dust is sitting comfortably under my screen
this is a real bummer for me, never had a similar issue on my previous phone, does anyone know a real solution for this issue?
will try to take a picture and post it later
no dust for me

Did you manage to remove the dust or did it get stuck like that?
Does it really help to have a screen protector on STR? My nook is always inside a case, and always have some finger smudges on the screen, which does not interfere with reading the screen content.
Would it make the screen harder to use, such as in a resistive screen? I know it has IR technology, not resistive lcd, but it is good to know...
I have a screen protector, because I have cats and dogs who're lurking around my nook, and I'd hate to see them scratch the screen. I'm not using any case for it. The film does not affect the touch sensitivity in any way...
thanks for the info, emarusceac.
I can see dogs and cats and stuff being a problem. I just have an old NC sleeve laying around that works. If you can stand the wait, ebay is cheap Turns out the NC and NST width is the same...
emarusceac,
what sort of screen protector are you using?
Hi mh127,
I'm using a basic anti-glare screen film from ebay.
The nst is the first touch screen I have not used one on.
It is perfect now, the matte should hide small scratches, it gets used more lightly than phones/tablets, it is light (less damage if dropped), and it is cheap!
I am going to buy one.
I must warn you that it's VERY hard to apply it smoothly. I mean you'll get some air pouches caused by small particles, those bubbles won't go away no matter what you do. I prefer bubbles to permanent scratches though....

I ordered one. Was concerned that it would be tough to apply because of the high frame around the screen. Any tips how to apply well? You use a credit card to smooth the film down over the screen?
Oh one more thing. Has anyone tried removing one? Does it change or damage the screen in any way?
I have had several different screen protectors on my NST and none of them caused any damage when I removed them. I would note though that I have read that you must not apply a screen protector to the Glowlight, something about the built in screen protector and its light guide properties. I would also point out the one reason my NST has had multiple screen protectors is because they are so hard to apply without getting bubbles/lint between the screen and the film. The film I have on now I finally got applied without any bubbles/lint in the reading area, so it will hopefully be on there for a while. Make sure you are working in a CLEAN area and take great pains to get it lined up straight before actually applying it to the screen.
The NST doesn't need a screen protector, it really wont do much for the device, but if you really feel like spending the money for it go ahead.
The NSTG already has a protector built in, putting an extra one on would be like putting on an extra pair of latex gloves. It'll offer a little more protection, but it can get to be quite frustrating in terms of lost control. It's advised not to bother with a protector for the NSTG.
Personally unless you know you're going to have your NST in reach of creatures with claws, or lose objects with sharp edges the protective screen will do little for you. Even in those cases it's possible the screen would merely lessen the damage done rather than prevent it out right.
In regards to the NSTG and it's pre-installed screen protector, has anyone actually removed it? I've read lots of reports of people complaining about minor scratches and finger pressure marks causing the light to become very strong on those parts, wondering if removing the screen protector would fix that or whether it's instead a problem with the screen.

They claim there is one, I claim they lie as there is no visible edge of one. If there was you wouldn't get the light flares from minor scratches. Adding one may protect the screen but no idea what it would do to the light guide properties of the screen. If you ever have to remove it I'd worry what would happen to the light guide layer.
Because gadgets capabilities/sppecs increase rapidly & prices drop fast too, unless it's expensive I forget about screen protectors if the device is cheapish (got mine cheap) & if it will be outdated in a couple of years. Specially if it's not an outdoor device like my phone. Or if the protector hampers speed / functionality to some degree. Also personally I rarely scratch tab screens unless it's a phone, my phones/tabs all have protectors put on from day one, but not doing my NTSG. YMMV.
When i look along the top and bottom edge i swear it looks like its slightly bowed in the center. Is this just mine?? The only issue i have is gps, otherwise no issues

I've noticed the same thing with my TFP a few days ago. I can feel the curvature when my hand is on the back of the device.
Anyone else notice this?
I thinkbwith the back being thin aluminum, it can be bended easily or Joe out if too much pressure applied. Some nights already I've fell asleep n rolled over on top of the prime..lol. n I'm 6'4-6'5 240lbs...so this was a concern of mines also over the long run. Its so thin though n pretty durable. During the first week or so my daughter slammed a thick heavy Comcast cable remote onto the screen n it did nothing to it. Scared me for a moment...lol. didn't even scratch it. Loving this gorilla glass

It's feel pretty durable, but I wonder if the thing bending over time will have any problems (or maybe the thing bends to a certain degree and stops?). If I look at it from a profile view (landscape), I can see the curvature of the thing...it looks like it's bowed.
Just like the OP, everything else works well besides the GPS.

Yes it'll bend only as far as the glass will since they attached to each other. Too much n the glass will either snap or case bent so much that glass pops out of the flush seams it has with metal backing.

Mine has a convex curve as well. Hard to give Asus engineers too much credit in light of the wifi and gps issues - but the curve could have been intentional as it actually makes the face of the prime more durable and impact resistant since it curves out toward you. Some of the Impact on the glass will be absorbed in compression instead of a bending load - making it less susceptible to breaking.
so i had my phone face down on a clean school desk
i picked it up carefully and vertically (so the screen doesnt rub against the desk)
ans surprise! there are tiny scratches on the right and left side of the display
is this normal?
The other day, i had my phone face down on my backpack literally 4 inches above concrete. One slow fall later, i flip it over and there's one long horizontal crack across the glass. I think i'm going to get a shop to put a white screen on it now.
The outside bezel of the glass has a small ridge in it that elevates it VERY slightly when it is put face down without a case, so the edge of the front face is very prone to scratches. Mine seems to hold up pretty well. I have dropped it more times than any other phone I've ever had, and the only visible damage I have is a small chip about 1/2 a millimeter on the top left corner. It's small enough that my case covers it up.
Sent from my CarbonROM 4.3'd HTC DNA
the scratches are not visible by any means. but the fact that just by putting it face down scratches the screen is kind of disheartening.
anyways. if it gets any worse, i might just get a replacement screen.
Get the xtreme guard screen protector. Super cheap and lasts a long time
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Mine fell out of my jacket pocket about 2' onto tile at a store when I was reaching down to pick something up it slipped out and landed flat on the screen, no damage except for a few minor scratches that are only visable when the light hits it just right. Forgot to mention that I did not have a case or any kind of screen protector on it.
Just in case anyone is thinking to remove the inner screen protector on their Find N2 (fold) - don't.
I am crying for days now after removing it, and I hope I can at least save the heart ache to other people.
The screen didn't break or anything, but two things happened:
1) Unlike the front screen, the glass surface under the inner screen is not very smooth. My fingers glide easily on the front screen with its protector removed, but there is some resistance on the naked inner screen; not as "oily". This is the smaller problem.
2) The crease is now VERY visible. What I didn't realize is that the original screen protector is a little matte, and it makes a great job deflecting lights reflections on both sides of the crease. With it removed, the surface is more glossy, and some light always finds its way to the crease, making it visible. If I look at the screen tilted away from me, I don't see it as much. But that's not a natural way of holding the screen.
Please think twice before removing it.
If there is someone who already removed it, and found a good aftermarket protector to apply, please share your experience.
I feel bad for you bud.. I haven't thought about removing mine but appreciate the heads up bro!
