Screen Has Air-Bubbles?

My T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 screen has had about 3 medium sized airbubbles for a couple days, when i bought it used, and i thought that it was just the plastic of a new phone, or a screen protector. I went to take it off today, but there doesnt seem to be any plastic or anything.
The screen seems** to be raised slightly, and when i push it down the air-bubbles will act accordingly, then when i release the screen, they will go back to their normal positions.
any ideas on this or how to fix it? it looks really tacky. Thanks!

do you have insurance? maybe try to get it replaced? i'd have never bought it like that. i'd be tempted to push a needle in to pop the bubbles, but my first move would be trying to get a replacement.

sounds like the guy dropped it in water. Are you sure its not a zagg invisishield? They look like the basic screen protectors but are much more durable.

see, it really could be, but like, im trying to pry it off..and im not getting anything. is the whole front of the phone (the screen, and the black parts) supposed to have that plasticy-touch screen feel? because thats how it is.

My touch pro 2 did come with a screen protector in the box from Htc so there is every chance it is that. Ive never seen an lcd touch screen with bubbles before, even when damaged, only in the screen protector. Is there no signs of an edge at all especially around the buttons?

I bought a couple of Htc orig ones but im really **** at putting them on! Dont bother with cheap **** ones on ebay. Either Htc ones or other more expensive ones like invisible shield. That bit extra will be worth it.

Yeah I suck at putting them on too. I always end up with air bubbles, lint or hair in them or at the very least its misaligned or I had to take it off and put it back on so many times one of the edges are bent or doesn't stick. I ordered 2 mirrored ones to take the place of the stock one on there now. Wish me luck, I have 2 shots.

Go to the AT&T store. You get three for $10 and they are easy to put on.

I do that, too! The problem is I'm too stupid to perfectly align the screen protector, and it goes on the edges, so I have bubbles along some of the edges.

This is the HTC Touch Pro 2 forum. You might have better luck posting in an LG forum.
It could be a screen protector, but we are not familiar with the screen issues that the Optimus might have as we do not have that phone.

expect your mind to be blown :victory:

Once you get your phone I guarantee that you will never want to go back to a smaller size screen. That's the feeling I got when I had to go back to using my old Mytouch 4g for a bit while getting my Note 2 replaced. But speaking about the screen. Make sure you do some quality checks like dead pixels, stuck pixels, etc. On my first note 2, I noticed that there was what looked like a blob of ink in the middle of the screen that was only noticeable on a dark background. It bothered me enough to do a replacement. The second one that I have now has zero screen issues that I can see. But the home button has a slight amber brown color to it under certain lighting. But it doesn't bother me too much. So in short... Just do your own quality checks while your still in your return period.

My home button feels like something was wrong with it, I don't know how to really explain it, but when I clicked it, it feels like it's not solid or attached correctly, I thought I'd just defective or something.
It's been like that for few weeks until I saw somewhere, use isopropyl alcohol pad to rub the button and click it rapidly, repeat for couple more times, and now my home button feels perfect and solid.

cut a little piece of paper and put the corner in the gap between the home button and the metal ring around it to push the dirt out

OP3 screen protection

Hi OP3 owners! Need your advice, I put my eye on OP but made a little research and see that there is problems with screen protectors for it because of rounded edge. What is your opinion?
Now I hesitate and thinking about mi5
Thank you!

well there is a screen protector already on the phone preinstalled. but its not glass if thats what you want

Yeah, but as I have read it is not the best, and the screen is the weakest phone part and need to be protected... So i just dont knmow what to do. I wonder how good is Gorilla 4, can it protect screen from general factors for 2 years?

I got myself a imitation orzly kinda screenprotector.
It works perfect edge to edge. It has a bit of rainbow when the screen is not on.

Listen all screens that have a small curve have this issues with a sp. That my tgsp sometimes gives me a little bit of rainbow. Yeah I can live with that. It is way better then replacing screens after a drop. 90℅ of the time rainbow ain't there.
Anyways. You want a perfect settled screenprotector. 2 options. Get a flat screen. Or get a foil based screenprotector. Noting along the side will be 100% perfect. But hey just my 2 cents.

If you take care of your device it's more than good enough.
My previous phone had Gorilla Glass 2 - after 3 years the screen still looks the same as on day one. The phone was kept in the same pocket as keys and never had any screen protectors or cases. Dropped twice: once from car seat level onto its side (onto asphalt), once from pocket level flat on its back (onto concrete tiles).
I'd dare saying that Gorilla Glass is pretty damn durable ? It will survive anything short of direct hit. But then again, even screen protectors won't do much against that.

No problem here

Possibly loose SPen

Been about three times now. The SPen is in the phone but about to come out as if it has been clicked.
While I never touched the SPen at all.
Do note I'm using the case that came with the phone.
I don't think that the pen can be accidentally touched as the case covers that part while.
Would like to know if the same has happened with any of you out there.
Thank you for your time.

Well, no, not with this one, or any of my previous notes

Mine came out on it's own once, but maybe I or my kids didn't put it in properly. I actually lost it, but alarm sounded and I went back to look for it and found it. Since it never happened again, I'm leaning towards operator error. I've seen replacement pens for $30, so I'm not loosing sleep over it.

you need to make sure when you "click" it in you aren't actually "unclicking" the top of the pen. I used to do this on my note 8 ALL the time.

Where did you see the s pens for sale? I would like to get a black or silver one, as I dont like the blue one that came with the aura glow model

I've seen it at B&H, which is large camera/electronic store in NYC for $30 online, but only blue. Samsung should have it for $42, if you have credit for preorder, could be way to use it?
I'm waiting for Amazon to stock it, now they only have N8 and N9. I was thinking to maybe order yellow, but I'm not in a rush, especially that I have 2 extra s-pen from N7 and they work, except for gestures.

You can buy them for $30 direct from Samsung.com. The black one is in stock right now. Just be aware, if you have the Aura Glow, then your frame is silver. The button or cap of the black S-Pen is black.l, so it won't match. I plan to buy the white S-Pen when its back in stock, since it has the silver cap.

Thanks bro!

Actually I saw one on Amazon the other day. It was for the 10. They had blue, but the other colors were for the 9, e.t.c.. So they are on there, just have to search and go through the listings..

I've had mine pop out multiple times. So far I've been lucky that it pops out but hasn't completely fallen out. Kind of concerning.

I'm guessing and I think this is what happened.
I must have taken out the pen and started playing with it by clicking it and when I put it back in the phone I must have done so with the clicked in position.
So basically when I put the pen in with the clicked in position the press and click sound would come but not for the pen setting in the phone but for the button release and since we intuitively are used to associating the sound with the pen being in place it must have been loose all along.
Guess Samsung should have made a mechanism to avoid this obvious problem, maybe by playing a small beep when the Spen is in place, possibly they can release the same in a future update.
For now gotta keep this in mind or stop playing with the pen.

So today my phone dropped (about 4 feet). The pen flung out of it and cracked in half. I guess its better than the glass cracking but I'm surprised it made it out of the phone.

I've gotta say I have to disagree with you there. I don't think Samsung should've done more, or should've fdone anything differently. I didn't have the first Note, but I've had each one since the Note 2 was released. Throughout multiple phones and multiple years, I've NEVER had an Spen accidentally eject, so I can say with certainty that it isn't a fault of Samsung.

Well there ya go. That's the cause of your problems, not something Samsung did or didn't do. Just to be clear, I use my Spen quite a bit every day.

my work trouser pockets are fairly shallow I've lost mine a few times now in varying ways either knocking it up out of my pocket or it sliding out while I've been sitting, luckily my case has 100% protected the phone every time other than a hairline crack in the screen protector, but everytime it has made the jump at over 2 foot the pen has fired clean out of the phone and I've had to have a look round for the pen (black pen doesn't stand out too well) luckily it's never damaged the pen, but it does seem to come out fairly easy with any impact as it only seems like a friction fitting and not any mechanical hold.
so to me the more you use the pen it will likely get looser as it does only seem it's there purely on friction with the port it lives in.

The extraction button just pops out to grab the s pen, it does not secure the spen in any way, what maintains the s pen in place, are two dents placed about 2 cm from the tip, which I guess get caught inside by a pressure retainer, like some cabinet doors do, so, an impact will eject the spen depending on how it strikes the impact surface

The action of the SPen on my old Note 8 is like a Rolls Royce. You click it, then the pen pops out 1/4 of an inch. Pull it and it comes out with zero friction. Press it back in all the way to the point of clicking and it never comes out accidentally. A joy to use. My Note 10 Plus has a really stiff SPen though. Press it and it comes out 1/4 of an inch but then I have to pull like heck to get it out. The friction is crazy. Same when I push it back. I can get the SPen 2/3rds of the way back in but then encounter crazy friction until it has pressed all the way back in. Not a nice feeling SPen at all. Better than a super-loose SPen I guess.

Odd, the feeling of my note 10+ is exactly as the one of my note 8, very smooth, the same as with my note 7, the feeling with the 3 and 4 was not as good though

yeah there isn't much friction on mine as said above it's probably only a slight bump as the tip passes into what ever retains the pen, but even that doesn't feel very solid. if you are getting really high friction I would check for dirt or something in the slot.
but yeah I get the point on the pen coming out if hit on the correct angle, it just feels like it could have been a bit stronger, not that I should really make a habit of dropping the phone out of my pocket. only Note I had before this was briefly a 7 before the recall, but it felt more like a positive connection when you pushed the pen in. admittedly never had the phone long enough to find out how strong it actually was.

Do you have very small mini hairs on the screen?

I have 3 very very thin ones on the flexible screen that can only be seen in the backlight, do you have any? Do you see it as a problem?

I have many of them. I have used my fold very carefully, but they keep cumming. I think there will be many more, but i dont care. I dont see them when the screen is on.

Ah, gotcha. Then I have a million of those on my screen from who knows where. At least they don't show up when the screen is on.

I did not notice this until recently on my Fold. Now it seems like I find a new scratch every other day. I just ordered a screen protector for the inside screen. It was recommended in this forum and people have used it without issue. We'll see how it goes, but I don't want it to get scratches all over:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/283631210480

I have had my fold exactly one month and the main screen is absolutely pristine, not a mark on it. I Keep the device in the official leather case around the house/ workplace and in a pouch as well when it is in my pocket to keep out any dust or lint.

i think OP needs to specify certain things. we need more context.
are you using a case? or protective sleeve?
are your pockets dirty?
if you don't have a proper protective case, maybe some dust/lint from your pockets migrated into the middle crack while folded, and you then went to use the screen without noticing.
maybe you had left your nails long one day, and happened to get into it in a game or something. gaming tends to make you press harder than you should.
i somehow highly doubt they magically appear from "regular" use.

I don't have any on my screen, you possible got those whilst cleaning the screen with an old cloth.
I'll be surprised if you get hairline scratches by regular use.
