I've had my Note 10. 1 since July of this year, so about 5 months now. I more or less keep the tablet in a leather case most of the time and there were no major issues unril just recently. I had noticed earlier today that there seemed to be rows of little dots along the bottom of my screen, right above the buttons. These dots look like it could be drops from either water or glue or something of the sort.
I tried scratching it off with my fingernail but then found out it wasnt on the top of the screen but under it. It doesnt seem to effect the touchscreen but thid could become a future problem. Picture will be attached (though it could be hard to see)
Thank you in advance :good:
Air bubbles in the glue holding the LCD display & digitizer together. Never heard of them being an issue aside from being a small cosmetic eyesore.
I have the same bubbles except they started to spread. I also bought mine at the end of June. I am asking Samsung to repair it.

Anyone know how to tighten the slider mechanism for the keyboard?
My XDA IIs is really loose, if I hold the XDA upright and slide the keyboard
out it wil slide back down on its own.
Need to tighten this somehow.
Anyone?
Thanks

Thought I'd bump this one up as I to am having the same issue, anyone any ideas?

Same problem here, I took a piece of felt and attatched it right under the space bar it helped some would like a better solution if anyone has found one.
Only ONE SOLUTION = SEND IT BACK!
I've sent my second one back last week. If you look at a thread a few months ago regarding pictures of the inside, you can see that there are NO SCREWS in relation to the tightening of the slider. It's just metal sliding on metal so once it's worn, it's worn for good. With my typical usage these devices seem to have a life of about 4 months before I have to send them back. I'm waiting on number 3 now...
Hope this helps!

You mean they replace the whole unit? or just the metal thing?
I had mine a couple of weeks now, and when I got the unit, the keyboard was tight as a V..... but now, i can push it out with no effort, good thing its protected in a metal case.

I sent mine back today for both a loose keyboard and the fact that pressing one button seems to activate like 2 or 3 others.
My keyboard became too loose to stay up very soon after I first got the unit. I did however spill coke all over it and after that the screen stayed up perfectly for months
Probably not a recommendable solution though.

How to fix the issue
You need to get a coffee can and then put the blue angel device in it. Fill it up with gas and light it afire. Now stop complaining and go buy a alpine. Blue Angel devices where the worst device HTC has ever released.

I fixed mine
The red color surrounds the responsible area of the mechanism slider.
So you just need tape and rubber matirial about 1mm thickness or use the same tape used on the housing "it's surrounded in yellow ", attach it from the back to force the cliper...
You can test the slider b4 closing the housing cover..
Do this at your own risk!!!
Good luck
the problem now is... how to open xda IIs ??
i already open from back side, but i can't separate the keyboard from the screen.... is there anyone who have step by step to separate keyboard from screen then we can solve this sliding problem.... thanks....
there are 4 screws holding the keyboard on the screen.. slide the keyboard all the way open and two are at the top and the other two you can access through holes on the keyboard that line up with them.. the parts that the keyboard slide on are not metal.. they are plastic and melted into place if you look closely.. you can take very small pieces of plastic and super glue them in the correct places to tighten the screen up some.. just takes a little enginuity
About 3/4 of the way down the left side of the screen a brownish blotch started to form a couple of weeks ago. On lighter color screens it looks like a bruise. It started faint and is getting darker and larger, it is now the size of quarter (cut in half by the edge of the screen). It's quite organic looking with smooth edges.
I got the phone the first of Nov, 2011. Always been in a case, no cracks or chips in screen, never been wet.
Has anyone ever seen a screen defect like this?
Uh oh.
I've only had bad experiences with this. Its called a burn-in and it happens to screens as they die. I started to get it on Thursday of last week. I thought i could fix it with some apps on the market that reported to help some but it only sped up the process and after a day the whole screen was burnt-in and it was completely black.
if you bought your phone from Sprint, i would suggest taking it in to have them fix it because afaik, its a one-way street once this starts to happen.
if you didnt (like me - letstalk), i would look into buying a new screen/digitizer off ebay and replacing it yourself, but its a rather delicate process. i wouldnt do it unless its your last resort
as for causes, i only started to get it because i took my phone apart and got glass shards between the screen and the digitizer, when i put it back together it appeared in the bottom left corner and it slowly started to eat my screen away and it sped up when i applied pressure to the screen. this is when i bought a new screen and its good as new. but have you been rough with your screen? applying a lot of pressure constantly may have caused the screen to die faster
I got my phone from Let's Talk as well... Sprint store did the warranty work on it for $35.

Hi all
I have had my Galaxy Nexus for near to 5 months now and it appears to have developed an unusual fault on the screen. I have been contemplating taking in in for repair/replacement for a while now after the screen has a single dead pixel, but a few days ago I noticed that I have what appears to be two blisters or bubbles in the screen just below the top surface. I don't have a screen protector so I'm not being dim.
I have cleaned the screen several times with the usual screen cleaning products as well as car polish and a tiny bit of T-Cut, all of which have made no difference at all. I am also certain that it is not a scratch or other mark as when the screen gets greasy you can clearly see the smudges across the mark which wouldn't happen if it was a scratch or the like.
I have attached a few photos of the mark, which I have circled to identify. Thanks for reading this I would like to know if anyone else has encountered this sort of issue before or whether this is a case of me being pedantic. My concern is that i don't want to send the phone in for repair/replacement for a few weeks to a month without me being certain that it will get fixed and the whole ordeal to be for nothing.
Again many thank in advance for your help and advice.

My 5 month old htc Desire 610 has encountered some Touch Screen issues. It has two "blank" or "broken" vertical lines where the touch screen does not respond and sometimes momentarily the entire touch screen doesn't work. For the past month, applying pressure to the rear upper right hand corner, behind the front facing camera, seemed to provide a temporary fix until now. I have ordered and replaced the entire touch/display but the problem still occurs. It is driving me MAD.
I think what caused it was a silicon case which I had, and when I was bored I would pull it off and on starting in the upper right corner.
The pictures I attached shows when I drag my finger slowly from left or right, a circle is made and the size depends on how long I left my finger there, my phone thinks I am leaving my finger just left of the two lines before continuing on the other side of the touch-screen-blank lines.
This all sounds confusing but help is very appreciated
I found the problem!!
I took the phone apart and placed a small padding behind the touch screen connector (the one coming from the top) and BANG! It works.
This may solve other touch screen issues out there.
Same Issue - Any Advice?

I'm having the same issue, also have a silicone BodyGlove case which I also flip on and off when I'm bored and it's started screwing with the touchscreen. How'd you get the case of the phone open, what material (i presume something non-conductive) did you use for the padding, and do you have any pictures? I plan to document this procedure when I do it and post for reference. My phone is just over 7 months old, and I don't want to have to buy a new one just yet.
Thanks,
Thanks worked

Works in my case too.

Couple months ago air got between the inner screen protector and the screen along the crease like we've all seen before by other Fold 3 owners.
When I opened the Fold today I noticed a few dead pixels right in the middle of the inner screen. Closing and opening it again apparently killed the whole screen along the crease. The left side is still working, right side is completely dead.
I think the screen suffered a lot when opening the Fold. The screen protector probably moved a little bit every time I opened it and created some kind of pressure to the screen because of the air underneath. At least that's my explanation for it.
So if you've got air beneath your screen protector, replace it before your Fold ends like mine..
When mine started to peel out, I've just taken it out completely. I've assumed it's safer that way, so e.g. sand does not get between the protector and the screen.
It's ca month I'm using it without protector and all works great so far (also there are videos on YT saying that screen presents better without it, but nonetheless I would not remove it unless it peels out)

I read that you loose warranty if you remove it, that's why I didnt do it. Now that I have to send it in I don't want to risk Samsung rejecting it because I peeled it off, you know.
There's also no official store close to where I live where I could have replaced the screen protector.
Taking mine in on Monday as I started to get an air gap at the bottom of the hinge... Hope it holds out until then
I got mine in mint condition from Swappa and it had the inner screen protector with no issues but after about a month of heavy use it started coming up at the bottom in the crease so I just removed it because it was getting hair and pocket lint under it and making the screen look bad. So far months later I've had zero issues.
Considering I got this second hand, I never expected a warranty anyway so if anything were to happen I plan on either trading it in for something else or paying for a repair at a local shop or do it myself (I own my computer repair business and I could probably figure it out)
