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.

Sorry I couldn't find a better vid but.. point is to leave the backing on as you go..

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.

Broken glass

Hey guys, am i the only one? Phone did not fall or something else, it is only one week since i bought it.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but are you sure it isn't just a scratch on the screen protector?

No, it isn't just a scrtch. Line became longer too.

Maybe you walked against something while your phone was in your pocket?

I would't post this if somethig like that happened.

Try to remove the original SE screen protector and see if the scratch/crack glass is on the display as well.
If it is, I would strongly suggest to take it to the nearest warranty repair shop.

It is scratched screen protector.

Yeah and the scratch went 2 cm longer itself

my arc has colorbubbles :S
in some points no more color
and over the Display at the display sensor its a bit broken
do you think i can change it by warranty ?

My Arc has fallen on the road 2 times & in my room 3 times.. Not a single scratch on screen.. Just a little scratch in the cornor where it's HDMI-thing...

Anyone know how to replace just the glass? Mine broke from dropping it face first on the ground

[Q] Screen goes blank when calling

I think I need some help, running stock just factory reseted phone but problem still there.
When making a call screen goes blank and I can't turn it on after that, can't hang up, can't do anything.
Is there any1 else experiencing this bug?

Maybe your sensor on the front is jacked up?

Nop had it tested in other app.

Try to factory reset it again, or you could investigate if any app you have is causing it.

Hahahahahahahahahahahhah GOT IT.

Same problem here, worked well a couple of weeks. Removed the glass protector, problem gone.

Because I recently purchased one from Xtremeguard and it's currently being delivered to me. I sent an email to them and they claim that the tempered glass does not block the proximity sensor. I've read on another forum that this specific brand provided similar problems to what you experienced.

and also the missed touches on screen gets worse with tempered glass

nillkin tempered glass here without any issues. Can you post up a picture of your screen protector? Maybe the cutouts are different. I also had no idea on the screen protector that was installed by LG (which in different markets may have logos, but mine was clear, even had a tab to remove it, but left it on until I got my tempered glass one)

It's the sensor, not the protector

I have the same problem with my LG V10. I have NOTHING blocking the sensor. I just discovered that light level alone will cause the black screen.
I tried calling with a bright light overhead. No black screen.
I caused a shadow over the sensor (NOT blocking it, just a shadow). The screen went black. The same thing happened when I was in the T-Mobile store, with no block and no shadow.

Guys, I had the exact problem. And you DO NOT have to remove your protector, you just need to recalibrate the sensor. There is a tutorial, use the Search.

Did anyone manage to do this with Verizon?

thanks without screen protector working fine

Who uses a screen protector? What do you use to clean the screen?

So, people are starting to report that the oleophopic screen coating is wearing off on the S9, and mine definitely is doing the same. The entire middle section (used the most) looks gray and disgusting even after a couple minutes of use.
How's everyone else's screens (without a protector) doing? Any specific cleaning methods that have worked for you? I used a spray specifically for screens, but that's obviously not working the best...

Don't use one, never have since the S5, just use a soft cloth / t-shirt to clean mine, Gorilla Glass means you don't have to worry too much about scratching it unless you're careless

I've never used a screen protector and also just use a soft cloth. I don't remember ever getting a scratch on a phone screen with Gorilla glass.

Wrong, NONE. I've pulled out a couple of old Moto phones and there aren't any scratches on them either. I checked a couple of my wife's old phones that she throws in her purse and none on those either. I've actually got an old Moto E with my golf GPS app on it that I keep in my golf bag and it has no scratches either.

What about the issue with finger smudges becoming more and more apparent over time? It looks like the area I use my phone most is cloudy because the first swipe you make, already starts making a mark. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe my glass is just defective.

[Survey] How many of you have experienced the screen peeling problem?

Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering buying the Moto Z2 Force as a replacement of my old Moto X 2014 (I still love it but my screen got a bit shattered one year ago:crying.
The only thing that is holding me back is that screen peeling problem I heard of. So, after reading some threads I would like to see how spread the problem is by proposing you this survey.
In case you had the issue, it would be very useful for me to know how you solved (got a replacement, removed the shutterproof screen protector, ...?)
Thanks a lot!

Here I am, replying to my own survey!
Unfortunately, not as I would like to...
I bought it and on day 2 I noticed this issue https://youtu.be/KfEjQWtvckQ which is how everything starts I suppose...?? So, I think this will be a "In the first month case".
Now I have to think of what to do:
Keep it and wait for it... (what then?!)
Send it back to seller asking for a refund => Buy another model, other brand (It would be really sad though)
Send it back to seller asking for a change with another one (what if the new one will have the same issue?)
Removing somehow the screen protector and the glue (any tutorials? Will it void the warranty?)
Any suggestion is much appreciated
Thanks a lot

I knot sure what that video was suppose to show. But to me it showed nothing of importance.. I have had my z2 Force for about 2 months with no issues.. Use a screen protector or a case with one, and you should have zero issues.

The video is supposed to show a problem with the shattershield screen where the outer screen protector lense is detached from the inner layer.
Some people on Lenovo forums reported screen peeling issue after experiencing something like the video shows.
On the same forum, some other people claim they had a screen protector on when the peeling started.
Anyway, I contacted Motorola Support and they:
Confirmed that if you remove the outer layer, the warranty is permanently voided for the whole phone... Not good
Suggested me to refer to the seller for a substitution since I am in the first two weeks after buying the phone
Still deciding what to do...

I tried the tempered glass screen protector I ordered.
It doesn't adhere correctly on the top of the screen but especially on the bottom, near the fingerprint scanner.
So, the screen is not perfectly flat.

I purchased a Otter Box Defender, and that might be why I have no issues.. On my G5 Plus I had a Otter Box commuter and a screen protector and they worked well as well.. If your nervous about that pone, best bet might be to replace with a different model.. I sure as hell would. Good luck.

Have the same issue and can hear that. But it seems to be normal. I can push in the screen a little bit. I think it's not the original foil of the top, which is pelling. I think it's hearable because it's plastic and elastic. I can see (by screen on) that's not the foil while I'm pressing the screen in. It's more the complete screen. Would it be the foil, I wouldn't see what I see by pushing in the screen. Plastic is easly elastic. That's all.

Here is an update.
Yesterday I received the other plastic screen protector I ordered.
It fits perfectly, since it's not as rigid as glass.
Since many of you have the same "clicking" noise while pressing the screen, I think I will try to use it in the next days to see how it goes. I have some weeks to think about keeping it or sending it back to the seller.
Hope everything will be ok, I'll keep you updated

It's not the foil, right? That's the plastic which is"clicking". I'm short-sighted and I'm pretty sure that I can see that's just elastic at the bottom. Looks so that the foil is ok and 100% save on the screen. But it's nice to have a elastic screen :laugh: No scratches after month. So, don't need a screen protector. The quality seems good. It's like wings of a airplane. Elastic, too And there is all ok, too. Normally

I am not sure it's the foil or not... However, I don't think is the screen which is moving, that's probably more a refraction effect. We should ask to those that removed the protection layer, if they where experiencing this and after the removal it stopped.
Foil or not, if the "clicking" sound is so common even in devices without peeling issues, I will give it a try.
I just need to use it, only time will say if it was a good idea to keep it :fingers-crossed:

Screen is moving down at the bottom, for me it's 100% so. And if I do it carefully, I can see it without hearing it. But yes, would be nice if anyone can test it without the foil. But, I can trust what I see, all real. So, it's the plastic. Hope anyone else can confirm this.
Another problem, what I have seen. I have burn in at the bottom. The navigation buttons keeps/burn in. Now I have set up the moto fingerprint navigation and it should gone next time. And that's really good. Works very well. And the space of the screen is now bigger, nice effect.
But, good to know with the burn in. This smartphones are made for a short time, maybe 2 years. On my computer monitor I have never seen burn ins like that. So, it's a market/business. Screen not made for working over years
And what really is very very good is the battery. Have last time good 8.5-9h sot. So, that's better than many people think.
But back to the screen. That's the topic here. Maybe we have to bring it to the repair center after 1.5 years. Maybe because burn ins, peeling and so on. We will see

If you guys do the warranty replacement through Motorola and not your carrier they will send you a new moto z2 force with a 2nd gen screen if you ask em about it. They have a fix for it lol I just got mine back and it's totally different

Ok, maybe I have a newer one. Here no scratches after months. Foil ok. Just the clicker at pushing. You don't hear that on your device? Which versions are 2. generation, after which produce date?

What am I supposed to be hearing on my device lol? And idk I just personally call it a 2nd gen screen cause it's easier to explain it like that to the people that I live around in my area ??there not to bright lol. I do know it's not the original shatter screen stuff that was peeling. it honestly was pretty hard for me to understand what my moto agent was saying to me when he explained it so I only caught bits and pieces. My model number is still xt1789-04 TMobile variant. I don't have a clicker also
