Weird oval going down middle - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi, I don't suppose anyone could tell me what this is? I see it very clearly on my new note 9 I got 2 days ago. You can see it easily in a blacklight, hard to see in daylight. Any clues?

Have you got a screen protector on?

It's adhesive within the display.

I got the same thing on my screen? wtf is that?

I do not have a screen protector on. I figured it would be the glue underneath any idea if that will go away, or should I send it in for warranty? I like to study in my room with a blacklight on, and in person, this thing sticks out like a sore thumb lol

Why on earth would you send it in for warranty, this is not a fault, this is part of the production process, they all have this.

As two of my friends have note 9s and this doesnt show on their phones that's why.

Are you looking at your phone under a strong UV light?

There's a whole thread with "thousands upon of thousands " of users that have this defect.

Don't worry, mine has this too (more visible with certain shades of grey though, at 60-65%+ brightness, in a dark room). It looks like some kind of glue or adhesive
Coming from a Pixel 2 XL, it never bothered me too much though. I've seen worse screen defects

same here, never noticed it until I was curing the device under the UV. since the time you are under UV lights should be fairly limited I would guess it's not a problem or an actual defect just that the UV shows up something that likely wouldn't be noticed otherwise.

its like saying the phone smells like a burnt crisp while having it out barbecuing.
but only when having it out barbecuing.
question:
is the phone making the barbecue smell or is the barbecue making the phone smell

hold it closer to the UV light in case it disappears.

Halo on screen

Has anybody seen something like this before and can explain what it is?
Touch works fine, functionality is not impaired, but it's right in the center of the screen and is going to bug the heck out of me!!
Edit: Shoot! Screen shot does not capture it. It's an eliptical halo (a circle or ring of light).

Never mind... After using the tablet for 30 minutes or so, it just disappeared.
Anybody have an idea what that was??

Could be a water mark others have reported? Are you in a humid area?

Ha! Could be... I was very close to Area 51 recently.
I'm afraid it may be "The Ring" - Help!

Got the same issue exactly. Mine got squeezed in a bag, and the center of the screen touched the LCD.
The halo slowly dissapered over the next few minutes. This happened 3 times so far.
I replaced my portfolio after that because with it, the cover is not totally flat over the screen because of the claw that squeeze the tablet, and if you put something over the tablet, the portfolio cover bend in the center, so all the pressure is at one place.
Replaced it with the TransCover, everything fine now.
My old portfolio was like this model:

Hmmm - it did happen after I came back from a trip. Tablet was clamshell closed in a bag, no cover though. Could be that it got squeezed, that i threw another bag on top or some such..
Thanks for responding. I will be more careful now.

Check your black model for air bubbles under the front panel

Just returned my SGS5 due to an air bubble or something under the front panel.
I've seen a lot of black SGS5 with this issue on one of the corners or around the home button. It is visible with sunlight or under a lamp. You need to pass your fingers around the front panel and then they will appear.
Check these pictures I took to see what I mean:

On the white model it can't be seen. Only on black ones.
Check to see if you have it.
Mines fine....had it since release
That happened to my friend but only after he dropped it, luckily on the carpet. Very cheap work from Samsung on a flag ship.
And it's really annoying... any way to fix it?
I had that develop - had the phone since launch day and the bubble developed 2 weeks ago. I took it into Samsung repair Centre and they replaced the screen within the day.

Disappointing to see such quality issues on their flagship.
Checked mine, looking fine so far, have it since launch.
It's mostly noticeable on the black model and in daylight at certain angles.
I've also seen it around the home button.
I've checked several black ones with this issue on stores.
None of them have the tempered glass screen protectors do they? I would hate to see everyone freaking out because their screen protector isn't lined up exactly how it should and creating the same problem.
I can speak from experience. Not that I thought my screen was messed up, but from how there is 0% tolerance with some of the tempered glass screen protectors and they need to be lined up perfectly or else around the corners they will have air bubbles exactly as everyone here shows.

Yes. Mine too, but the glass protection has been changed from 2 monhs ago. There is no scratch on it and I don't use cover
It's a really weird issue.
A guy above said he's was fine and the bubble appeared 2 weeks ago.
Is this something that can appear at a later time?
I think this is due to the waterproof protection.

Lines covering the hardware buttons and LED

Does anyone else have faint black lines covering the hardware buttons or the LED on the black n4?
I'll try to post a picture later- they're basically the thin lines that appear on the top and bottom of the phone, but instead of stopping along/over the LED and menu/return keys, they kinda look painted over them.
I did install a tempered glass screen protector before noticing this, but if anyone else sees the same thing, please post.

It's normal. Note 3 is similar but different pattern.

It's not the same on my N3... the lines don't cover the button lights...
See my attachment.
There are black lines covering the LED as well. Certainly doesn't seem normal.

Sorry ya mines the same. But on the note 3 it isn't as noticeable because the pattern is different. It's the pattern that Samsung used that makes it too obvious.

I'm glad I have bad eye sight; I probably wouldn't of noticed it if it wasn't posted here..
thanks for making me look for it when I get my phone! :crying:
I had the same question. When i saw it i almost wanted to return the device. I can not believe they would make something like the note 4 and then ruin it with that kind of finish. I am really disappointed by the fact that they didn't keep the same style as the note 3 at least or improved it. a nice brushed aluminun look or something. anything is better then these stupid lines. it reminds me of an old crt monitor from WAY back in the day that was interlaced. just ugly.
Must be something with the black version. I have the lines also but my wife got the white version and doesn't have the lines...
Do what I do and turn off the back lights

Tempered glass screen protector?

Has anyone found one yet that fits?

The zenwatch 3 has a curve in the screen so adding a screen protector
is not a good idea, screen protectors do a good job on flast screens but
on a curved screen it won't be long until you take it off due to the edges
getting messed up in a short period of time.
The gorilla glass 3 is way tougher then any screen protector and the
watch's screen is so small that dropping it accidentally would never
crack or scratch the screen unless you intentionally throw it on the
concrete sidewalk.
Many years ago when there were no smart watches which had the
gorilla glass screen savers were a must have accessory.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Go to http://amazon.com and search for zenwatch 3 screen protector,
they have about 2-3 different ones you can check out.

Im not worried about dropping it, Im worried about banging it into stuff while I am wearing it.
Here is mine with this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KZ7VAQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on it. Fits well enough and feels glassy enough to satisfy me. I used a Zagg on my moto360 and it was weird because the surface of that was above the watch frame. This Zenwatch is of course inset. I noticed no diminished sensitivity. Only issue is small band from edge that does not adhere.

The DISAGU is rubbish and it's not glass or even some sort of PET film. They're charging $10 for a piece of plastic, I know this thread hasn't see any activity in months. But here this is for people that are looking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mobVxyGkadc The seller says they have been heat treated to be that flexible.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite / CC9 with proximity sensor issues

Does anybody has problems with proximity sensor (Mi 9 Lite/CC9) during a call?
My phone doesn't block the screen when I approach it to my face. I also have a Redmi Note 7 and I don't have this problem with this phone.
I dialed *#*#6484#*#* and did the proximity sensor test and it passed. It's ok. Its shows the number 0 when I get close, and 5 otherwise.
My Note 7 has a dedicated setting for proximity sensor, but not on my Mi 9 Lite.
Is there something i can do to to fix it?
I have this problem as well... Not sure how to fix it though. There's a mod called disable sensors I've been thinking of playing with, for now I can really only talk on speakerphone. Pretty irritating.
to both of you a quick (maybe stupid) question , do you have any tempered glass? If yes, might the problem is there , i had the same with nillkin tempered , i had to reinstall it more then 5 times so it can fit in the correct place.

honestly i bought the phone with the screen protector already on it, so i can't be 100 percent sure, it's hard to tell once it's on, but if i had to guess i'd say it's probably tempered glass....most are these days. it looks like it's in the right spot though, idk...i can't imagine where else i would put it. you say you had to reinstall several times...what specifically ended up being the solution?

To put it in the right place, I did it with the case on (spigen) and put it from the bottom up, we're talking about 1-2 millimeters lower.

So your theory is that the protector has to leave the sensor, or at least part of it, uncovered? Interesting. I suppose it could be. Could you show me a picture of just the verytop of your device? I'd like to see how much space should you leave between the top of the protector in the top of the phone, I don't know where the sensor is exactly.
