Fingerprint scanner gap? - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hello, i am having issues with my fingerprint scanner. On the top left of the scanner there is a gap and dust seem to be getting in there. It seems like it is not properly placed correctly as the bottom part has no gap. Is mine the only one? Can someone confirm if theirs has this problem?

Good luck getting your issue resolved.

thanks for trying it out. i actually took off the film that came on the phone and it seems to be working so far.. so i guess i wont be able to use a screen protector for this phone? it was only in that one area though and i tried in the exact opposite location and no problem when i had the film on.. hmmm

Probably don't need a screen protector. It should have gorilla glass, or good enough not to have one.
Getting a screen protectector makes the screen...not so nice anymore.
i find that the stylus isn't very useful around the corners at all. it might take me 5-6 tries for it to register me pressing the bookmarks button in the upper righthand corner of the browser window but when i use my finger it works everytime. i don't have issues clicking on other links in the middle of the screen with the stylus but the browser icon is pretty damn important.
FYI... Corning's Gorilla Glass still scratches.

Yes, this was a documented "issue" on the now N7100 Galaxy Note II thread

VERY true, get just a little dirt and you screwed... My Sensation 4G has a concave screen which means when i place it face down, the screen isn't in contact with the surface, but not true for my Nexus 7 which has a pretty ugly scratch

[Q] S-pen dead spot on screen

hi all
i have a strange problem on my 1 day old note2
i have been playing with all the feature and have discovered a sort of dead area when using the pen
load up snote/memo or anything else using the pen
then on the right hand side when using the pen there is a square about 1cm in size that does not detect the pen when applying NORMAL pressure, using my finger its fine.. then to make it more odd if i apply i little more pressure it picks up the pen.. when applying pressure the line being drawn is more bold everywhere until i draw over the dead spot when it becomes a lighter line ie nor picking up the same pressure,,
i hope my very bad explanation is understood lol..
phone is 1 day old and i'm not sure if i have a fault or a bug
firmware is stock thailand
gt-n7100
4.1.1
baseband n7100dxalj1
build jroo3c.n7100xxalj3

yes.. small unobtrusive one
just tested without case and no problem
confused
is there a thread about this issue .. looked but cannot see
Does your case have a magnet on the side of where your S-Pen does not work?
It happened with me as well.

yup.. thats the problem
having more info in hand google was my friend
:Apprarantly this problem occurs if you use a case with a magnet. The area will correspond with the location of the magnet.Samsung’s user manual clearly states not to use it with cases that have magnets. People have also commented on how this effects the internal compass too. Prolonged exposure will apparently result in the internals getting magnetized – no way out then!
People have reported that even after removing the magnetic case, it take between 24-48 hours for the effects to disappear. .!:
very worrying
i wonder if there is a way to block the magnet in the case from effecting the note..
otherwise its throw out the new case

htc Desire 610 Touch screen issue

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,

fingerprint scanner wobbling

I've noticed a small wobble when sliding my finger left to right over my fingerprint scanner. Sometimes it makes a small click notice.
Is this normal? Are other HTC 10 owners noticing this?
Thanks!
Not seeing that here on my US unlocked version.

If you googled the teardown of the htc10 you would see that what you think is happening is impossible.

Yeah I have it to. It's not too bad. Mine isn't really a wobble so much as it has a slight give to it on the left and right. It's not something I really notice, or something that bothers me though. It's something I can notice if I try but rarely notice otherwise.

Just viewed the ifixit teardown footage, you are correct.

What you describe is what I noticed. Seems to be normal thing then.
It's already my second HTC 10, first one was send back to the online store because of a faulty wifi module, so I was investigating the device from up close and noticing something that isn't something broken.
OMG.
Can we get some community action on this issue? I don't know how the OP will sleep tonight. Maybe his fingertips have wobble syndrome. It's concerning for all of us.
It's a real problem in his lifetime. He is after all noticing things that aren't broken (his words not mine).

He must be gifted (ignore the double use of 'something').

Someone is cranky today.
Hi guys! I have the same probelm and it is very annoying .. I´m thinking of returning the phone, don´t know, why this is happening! I´t always making a clicky noise. On the right side it is solid as it should be, but on the right side, i can see the fingerprint scanner moving inside the device when I press it.

How did you know you have a faulty wifi module? My wifi is not so good as on my M8 so I am wondering if I have the same problem.. :/
I have been noticing this recently. What is happening is that when you touch the lower part of the screen, this pushes the fingerprint scanner up. You can feel it move up if you hold down on the scanner when pushing down on the screen. When you then touch the scanner, the clicking sound it it is making is that you are moving the scanner back down. Guess it is just a manufacturing issue we have to live with.

'Hollow' tapping on screen

Hi, not sure if this was brought up before. Take your screen off then lightly tap your thumb on different parts of the screen. Does it sound different? For me, just to the left of the fingerprint sensor I am hearing a hollow tap that I don't hear anywhere else on the screen. Anyone else or is this just on my phone?

It's where the fingerprint sensor is mounted under the screen. This is from jerry-rig everything teardown of the Note 10+.

Ok but where I get the hollow sound is to the bottom left of that area, about halfway between the sensor and the very bottom of the screen.

Maybe a manufacturing defect. Mine sounds solid.
Battery may not be heat glued in solid...
Send it back its defective
