Hi, I have noticed that when I have blocked my Nexus and I put it reflecting the sun light, I can see a grid of points, I don't know how to explain, but I have recorded my smartphone to show you what I'm talking about.

I know that is not bad, but I only wanna know what is that...
Thank you...

Digitizer.
Look through your old phones and you'll see it, too. Especially the Palm Pre.

It looks really cool doesn't it?
Kind of like a magic hologram that only appears in sunlight
from what I understand, you can see that because the glass protecting the display is real thin.
Its just the touch point sensors on the digitizer. It does look cool in sunlight tho Lol

Is This normal? I also got this, my question is, why this is not visible on other touch devices?

Yes it is normal. And because they use different screen technology. It isn't a big deal.

It's normal. I had a HP Touchpad and they were visible there too.
Normal and cool looking!

Thanks, but it also normal, that when the screen is lit, these dots sometimes manifested on the screen? I mean they are barely visible at some angles?
I used to have the same dots on my iPod Touch 4G, and saw it on friends' iPhones. It's completely normal for a phone that utilizes IPS technology.

Yes it is normal. They don't just disappear when the screen is on. They are physically there.

yes they are still physically there, and still visible when the screen is ON? I mean, not that visible, but if you look very very closely, they are black dots, in white background. is this just Okay?

This is pretty much on all touch screen devices. I've noticed it since my HTC 8125 windows phone days.

Not for every device. You can't see it on the I9000 (although you can see the copper wire running underneath it, but that does not cover the entire screen.)

Where? I own an i9000 and I've never spotted the copper wire.
They look neat. I've also seen the same dots on a tempered glass screen protector. I was told the dots were there because of the process they use to harden the glass..
really cool feature! thx

There is this strange pale spot on my Evo's screen. It is not a stuck pixel, and I am not sure what it is really haha. It almost looks like there is a tiny pin hole in the screen or something that is letting the back light escape. I have never seen this in a screen and am having a hard time explaining it.
Anyone know what I am talking about?
Take a picture so we could see

I'm assuming its brighter than the rest of the screen? If so its probably damage from pressure. It didn't crack the screen but it did damage it. I had 3 of them before I got my replacement.
Im not sure I will be able to get it in a picture but I will try to take one tomorrow some time.

Just wanted to post that the problem I mentioned has been brought up by several others in the following thread. No picture required!

Hmm not experiencing that. Its just as responsive when I'm not holding it.

Maybe when you are holding your phone or putting it down, different parts of your fingers are touching the screen, and the sensor responds differently to them.

Don't know but I can for sure feel the difference... sometimes I need to press 4 or 5 times before the phone recognizes the input

Do you guys have screen protectors applied? There was one brand in particular where the screen protector would cause the screen to become quite unresponsive especially at the bottom of the screen. If that's the case you might want to change screen protectors or just go commando.

I have had my gnex since release day with no screen protector and not a single scratch to this day. As long as you are somewhat careful as to how you handle your phone you will be fine. To me the screen protectors on the galaxy nexus seem awful and huge finger print magnets from the pics I have seen, and that would drive me nuts.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The nexus one had an issue with this and it had to do with grounding when the device was held which would allow the touchscreen to work well. As soon as your not holding it touch response goes to s***

I don't think a phone with an all-plastic body like a Galaxy Nexus would have a problem with grounding?

When the screen protector was off, did you try using the phone and see if the sensitivity improved? If it didn't at least you could rule out that the screen protector is the problem.

I've known a few good people with this problem, but most of them have hands that become moist easily. Perhaps this is causing it, no?
I have the same problem. When I put it on the holder at my work and start watching YouTube my back button I have to press 100 times it losses sensitivity
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I don't get that at all. I have ****e reception here, so when I text and stuff I put my phone down on the speaker by the window. It always seems to work just fine with me pecking away.
now i'm starting to have issue were screen is totally unresponsive and battery pull is the solution
this is not normal
I am very careful with my phone, screen protector, case, never dropped. Pulled it out of my pocket this afternoon and noticed a small pink area just over the button and to the left lower corner of the screen. as the evening progressed the area is now larger, about the size of a quarter over the button and near the corner.
Not sure what the hell is causing this, i'll try and post some pictures.
Attached image,
sorry for crappy resolution, was with an iphone.

The screen is bleeding from the lower mid to left of the screen, i can see the text and images under the colored area fine, To me it looks like the screen has separated. The touch screen is working fine. I have no idea how it happened, I do know that it was never dropped and never came in contact with water.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I'll have to send it out,its now 1/4 the way up the screen. I'll have to use my Iphone for a while till this guy comes back.. From preliminary talks with Bell, they sound like they will push the "You dropped it" card... it will be hard to prove for them cause the lack of any physical damage, but hey, they are douche bags after all.
So this is as of 2 mins ago.
It's crazy, by tomorrow it will be 1/2 the screen!.
Update - The screen is now completely Blue with a dark blue section near the bottom.

the more i look at it, the more i think water got inside your phone 0_0
I've never seen water do that to a display.
It wasn't water, It's under warranty so it's being replaced, so i'm happy about that. Showed it to the "support Tech" and the response i got was "Holy Sh*t"
It was a screen defect where the AMOLED display actually separated .
I've been playing dungeon hunter 4 on my note 2. I noticed the screen got really hot where the control virtual buttons are, but noting abnormal. Now that I stopped playing for a week, I noticed there seems to be a damaged spot where the game virtual controller was. It looks like a smudge. I clean it and it goes away, but about 5 mins later it comes back.
I attached a pic, the light makes look worse, but it is visible.
Could the screen get too hot and get damaged from playing a game?
Is there a screen cover on the phone.

no, no screen cover.
I would say it looks like the oleopholic layer is wearing out or breaking down from the oils of your finger. First I have ever seen of it. I would contact samsung.

Thanks for the advice but that's not my problem. My problem is I think my screen may be going out. Every so often it will have a weird blue/off colored fragmentation on the screen. Its similar to the old upside down 10.1 issue but its not that. Its kinda hard to explain.

These are amoled displays and with amoled displays after say 3 years of use you get something called "burn in" which make the blue LED lights get dim and dimmer over time which causes the screen to have an off look. You cau can prevent this by keeping your phone on low brightness and changing the screen style to "movie" which reduces the saturation of the colors. Even high end devices like the Note 2 will be eventually affected by this
