Rainbow when putting pressure on screen - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it normal for the screen to rainbow with pressure (force)?
I noticed a slight rainbow on the right edge of the screen when I put pressure (not light, I would say medium pressure).
I noticed when applying a screen protector and pushing bubbles out with my thumb with pressure.
Is this normal or a defect?

For a PC Monitor it is normal, but that is a solid Smartphone with Gorilla Glass.
I don't think that it's normal.
Depending on how high the pressure really is.
Do you have this effect only on one side (right) or on all sides?
You should check all sides with normal pressure,if the display springs back and for on one side.
That can be an indication that the display on this spot is loose.
If that is the case, you should talk with your distributor.
On my m8 the Display was loose on the left side.
I've checked it on my One X and on my One m7 and I don't have this effect.

Did you bother to exchange it for your M8 or you didn't care enough?
Mines mostly on the right side, with a good amount of pressure.

If you're getting a rainbow, its not seated right which will cause durability issues. Exchange it.

It's not a rainbow, it's a grey colour that only happens with a good amount of pressure on the right side edge of my screen. Again, only with pressure and not in actual usage of phone. Does this warrant exchange?

Not only that the Screen was loosed on the left side.
On Day 10, the Display died, black Screen without backlight.
Now it's on the way back to the distributor for a replacement.
You should contact the dealer for a replacement as well.

Nope the display is excellent. I have to put a good amount of pressure on that side for it to show a small amount of grey on the edge.

Then it is ok.
When the display is seated firmly,there is no reason to be concerned.
You are talking of a very high pressure.

Wow! If you press hard enough on any screen it will show discoloration for a brief moment. The amount of crap that gets posted sometimes ridiculous and comical.

So replace it then. It shouldn't be happening with a glass screen. If it is, something is obviously wrong.

You guys are special. I guarantee if you replace it, the next device will do it too. And with that being said I am done with this obnoxiously dumb thread

This is a defect. One of my Units was grey/yellowish on right side all The time on black screen. When i pressed carefully it was waves around The screen. The screen is misplaced and under pressure. Thats why it happens.

This isn't a resistive screen, its capacitive. It should take a good deal of pressure to cause any discoloration or banding on these types of screens. When yours breaks, I don't want to see you post about it or I'll make sure to refer you to this post.

not so dumb, u are a prize muppet so if u have nothing better to post than this crap Eff off yeah? Also your lack of posts and thanks indicate you must have some sort of noob rage, hillarious.
Anyway i cannot replicate it anywhere on my screen as its solid. OP should exchange as this is not normal

Mine is also the same as op but those T-Mobile dicks refused to exchange it since the display model did the same. I guess it's not too big of a deal doesn't show up unless I press with my fingernail with medium pressure. Normal touches doesn't do anything. Plus there's a 1 year warranty if it'll break hopefully it's within this period

Gap on right between glass & bezel

Mines like that too. I thought it was normal. I was worried about crud getting in the crack but its been fine and doesn't affect anything on the phone.
I just tried to take a macro shot of it and had no luck. Wonder if I should swap it out. Really don't want to get stuck with one that actually has an issue.
i'm more worried about dust under the glass. having that gap, i'm sure it will

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I believe that these small gaps are by design, seriously. Think about the dispersion of shock when the device hits the ground. If it was perfectly flush with the
metal it would be way more likely to crack instantly..with the gap some energy escapes giving the glass a small but crucial release of pressure.

Yeah. That's what I'm worried about. Going in to exchange it tomorrow morning and gonna check the hell out of the phone before I leave the store.
I noticed it more today when I got my TPU case and the right side would get caught up on the gap.

I work at a cell phone repair store. We charge like 275 for the repair and a good quality part will run like 225. I have fixed like 30 gs3s so far and I am going to warn you now..... Do not attempt to just replace the glass. I you will just be wasting your time. To the guy that said it is manageable, until you try it yourself, please don't give advice like that out. It very much is not manageable to do. But if you have any experience repairing phones, just order the screen plus lcd yourself and do it. It is very easy on the gs3

Depending where your at I would google search repair centers and call around for the best price. If that doesn't work perhaps Craigslist? I met a really cool tech guy off there and he works on mainly iphones but knows a lot about android devices as well.

If my glass was broken I'd try to fix it.. If I screw up I'd have to replace the entire thing anyway so might as well try to fix it for 15 first.

It isn't about the quality, the screen is curved in the edges so it becomes extremely weak there, one unlucky corner drop that avoids the plastic bezel and hits the screen and welcome cracks.
Now i dropped mine many times and found that the phone drops on it's back most of the time and survives, but i almost broke it when it dropped on the side, luckily it hit the bezel and there was no damage, not even a scratch/bend.
So yep.. luck.

How bad are ur AMOLED ink spots?

So if u don't already know pretty much all of our s3 phones have black ink spots on the screen when viewing a black background at night time or somewhere really dark. If u don't believe me download the LCD test, go to black color picture wait a few seconds for ur eyes to adjust and ur screen to auto dim in the dark.. and ull see a bunch of stains.
I'm just wondering how bad is too bad?
I have 2 curved lines down the length on the screen and a few other stains. I just want to have an idea if I should replace my screen with hope that I will get less spots or smaller spots than now.
Please post ur ink imperfections here..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Probably like 6-7 q-tip sized ones. Maybe a little smaller.
=D I only have one spot that looks like some one stroked it with a QTip. Dead center in the screen.
Personally I'd rather have 8 of these marks instead of just one, DEAD CENTER OF MY SCREEN. Brings out the OCD in me.

That couldn't be more true, but some of us paid a lot for this phone. It's not an issue at all when you think about it, but once you do notice it, it becomes a psychological issue and it upsets the user.

Screen/bezel lift 2013 N7

Anyone else notice a little lifting on the screen/bezel right around the charging port? Creaking when bezel is pressed? CONFIRMED.
Sorry to hear ,mine is pretty solid to me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I hear a little clicking sound when squeezing gentle on the bezel in that area, but the glass in that area looks flat and properly installed. I also noticed a very small sensor of some kind, centered in the bezel, just above the charging port. Probably just the hardware under there touching when it is squeezed. IMHO. Nothing that's making me unhappy!!

Just saying, I would hope on the second time around ASUS would have figured this out. With my first gen N7 I had to take it apart and jam a qtip in it to help with the screen lift issue but this model doesn't look like it comes apart as easily. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse or its going back. Never had any problems like this with any of my other tablets.

Mine does. And my screen now seems a bit unresponsive. It won't respond to some of my touches often and I'd have to press hard. Not sure if its the screen protector I put on it (though it didn't have that problem before) or the screen lift.
Asus, you suck.
Mine used to be good, it now creaks very audibly when pressed on the top left area.
Maybe the glue dried out lol?
Sucks that I had this same issue on my 2012 nexus 7.

digitizer too sensitive

I'm having a problem with my M8. The digitizer registers touches when my finger is quite close to the screen (1mm) but I haven't actually touched it. It's not a massive problem as it's just 1mm but it makes the user experience quite strange. Sometimes I press something on the screen but two touches are registered (one when I approach the screen, another when I actually touch it). Or sometimes I'm going to press a button and the action happens before I actually touch the screen, leaving me thinking "WTF just happened?"
It's something similar to this but of course a lot less serious:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTfyPCjDaio#t=113
Can any other M8 owners check if this happens with their phone? Thanks in advance!
Yep, you can control the screen from 1mm above it. Makes it very stressfull trying to type at times lol
Yeah, the M7 did this for me too.

Can you guys push you glass down at the edges? I don't have to put a lot of pressure and the glass pushes down on the lcd and creates that blue mark

Yeap.
Sorry for digging this up. But I've just bought M8 last week. And I found this problem too. I struggle to type correctly. Is there anyway to fix this?
Yeah this is very annoying when I'm holding with my fingers just to the edge of the screen but its registering touches

But they said that the M8 have the best touch responsiveness.
