I always noticed a very subtle shading about a half-inch wide around the screen of my Xoom. In the last few days, I've noticed that it's much more pronounced, particularly on a blue background. It's very distracting when watching videos. I've tried various players, formats, etc...but I even see it on the home screen if I have a blue background set. Is my screen defective?
View 4 RepliesYou see that blue border around my screen? I just downloaded and was playing the Radiohead Polyfauna app when this suddenly surrounded my screen. It is permanently fixed to my screen; doesn't matter the app, doesn't matter the task. Especially annoying when I type is it forms a little drop down border to surround every letter I touch in turn. I really want it gone.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI type quickly (or pressing one button repeatedly quickly) and, often the screen would get a blue margin around the screen, and it gets into a weird mode, sort of a pseudo frozen state. I'd have to press the home button repeatedly to get out of that strange mode.
View 10 Replies View RelatedCertain apps and games are giving a black border along the left right and bottom sides of the screen (about 1cm). I know it is not the apps, because they all work fine on MY atrix. How can I solve this problem, or do I need to return his Atrix to Bell for a replacement?

This is just one app, but there are a bunch more. Running stock unrooted Bell firmware, with the newest update.
Looking at my phone accidentally i discovered that over the clock on the top right side of the screen i saw that the border light is more weak than the rest of the phone.

View 9 Replies View RelatedJust been wondering about the stupid border around the screen when watching a YouTube video in landscape mode. It's the border with the 3 dots on the right which indicate home, back, and previous tasks button, and the top border with the time and everything.. It's annoying because it blocks some of the video of there something going on on the top or right side. Sometimes I can sail it away and it'll go away. Other times its stuck there..
Is there a specific setting to disable it, or a certain gesture?
is there any way to get rid of the black border that surrounds certain apps. The border plus the ads that are already in the app make it too small.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere is now a pale whitish band around the perimeter of the display maybe a 1/4" wide. The band feathers slightly to produce a fine white line along its inside border. I see it on the home screen and any other time there is a dark background. It is especially noticeable with the gray background of the settings-display-brightness screen and similar.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have chosen a semi light background. Problem is i cannot see the icon's text. The ZMAX had a black border around the text and i loved it. It made having light backgrounds like this possible.How do I get that black border around the text of the icons so i can see what I'm doing? Ice looked on other webpages that say go to Accessibility options for text contrast but I have had no luck.I'm on a Pyramid Head kick and love this background but cannot read the text in the icons!
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy phone functions normally, but there is a strange issue regarding the act of selecting apps, typing, swiping, etc. The touch response is acting very strangely because whenever I touch an app or anything, a border forms around the icon that I touch, and the only way to open the app or funtion is to do a double-tap. To select another app or function, I must first select the app to get the border placed around it, and then I must double-tap it again. This makes the whole process very cumbersome and irritating.

probably since the last Android Update to 4.0.4, my Ray with 4.1.B.0.587 starts self-actuated a permanent reboot loop whenever I am crossing the German-Austrian border and therefore reaching an Austrian (i.e. foreign) network.
The loop restarts whenever it reaches the point where it checks the SIM card and then starts with a Sony screen like when I switch it on. The loop can only be interrupted by removing the battery. OK, also by going back to Germany. I have full phone roaming authorization from my home network (vodafone), yet for data roaming I need to purchase day or week packages. Up to that Android update, all that worked perfectly, including tehtering.
So, in fact, I am currently not able to use my phone in foreign networks.
I have a XOOM WiFi I bought from Staples on launch day. A couple of days ago the screen started turning blue. If the device sits unused (such as overnight) the next morning it is fine for about a minute or two. Then it turns blue again. The blue corruption moves. If I try to scroll up on a list that is already scrolled as far as it can go a blue "halo" appears at the bottom of the screen for as long as I hold my finger on the screen. It disappears after a few seconds. I've already tried a soft reset. I haven't tried a factory wipe yet as I was hoping to avoid that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I've had my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 for 9 days and I noticed a dark shadow or spot on the right side of the screen. I thought it was the lens or the plastic film covering the lens. I was wrong and it appears the issue is with the sensor itself. T-Mobile is sending me another unit.
This is an expensive piece of tech. So make sure you check everything the first days you own it to ensure you are not stuck with a defected one.
I have a question about my Atrix. The other day I noticed the blue notifications LED was staying on solid when the screen is off. When I turn the screen on it goes off. The only way I've been able to get it to go off is to do a battery pull. Once I do that, it will go for 1-2 days and then the LED starts coming on again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a daughther that is 16 months old and sometimes while traveling we will start a movie on the Xoom for her to watch. But being that she is young, she loves to touch the screen which usually causes the movie to stop.
I have searched the Google Play for an app that would allow the screen and buttons to lock for a toddler and still show what is on the screen, but I have not found one yet. The screen could still be unlocked, but it would be like the lid to a medicine bottle, only a grown-up could unlock it.
I want to get rid of the icon "shadow" when you click on it.. for example with iBlank: if you were to click an icon that is an iBlank icon, it will show the black icon shadow, see the attached picture.

First off when I take my phone out of lock or wake up it from sleeping the icons are missing till i wipe my finger across the screen.. its weird to explain but its kinda like i have to swipe the whole screen for the icons to be visable the same thing happens when my phone goes to sleep and the keyboard is open.. any ideas?
and another thing is sometimes ill be writting a msg and my phone will make 3 beeping prompting type of noise any idea what this is?
I normally put my phone in it's case, in my bag or whatever in a spot I know it won't get banged up or such. However today, the one day I do not, it falls between the car door and my seat just as I am closing the door. I hear a crack, I open the door, and viola! There is my phone, bent, the LCD screen broke so I can't see out of most of it, however it still can make calls and the like. It's only a couple months old, so it's making me rather upset that it got wrecked so soon, versus my old phone that lasted me three years and never got a single ding. I know the touch pad still works, since when I go to click on things or drag items that I cannot see at the top of it, they drag down. So it's just the LCD screen [I believe, feel completely free to correct me if I'm wrong, on ANY of this. Please, do. There are pictures attached as well to this thread.]
It still makes calls, I can hear just fine, the battery isn't busted. The only thing wrong is the LCD screen... and the fact it's bent a bit... [I can live with the bent part if I can just get the screen fixed!] any ideas on what I should do? Should I try to fix it myself, should I go see someone about it, or should I just replace the phone entirely?
I can really blame this one on the dog. Walking to my desk, phone in hand, excited puppy races along and bounces into me, phone goes flying. Lands face down.Screen is white, and will sometimes flash grey lines when it seems the phone is trying to do something (like reboot). The music that was playing before the drop continued to play after. The touch screen does not seem to respond. The phone rings when people call me, and my alarm that I had set still went off. Itunes recognizes when my phone is plugged into my computer.
I've been doing research for a few hours trying to see if this is something I can fix - I opened it up to re-seat all the connections, and that didn't help (it didn't seem to make things worse either, at least). There are no visible cracks/breaks on the outside (I have not completely dismantled the inside to see from there).
Phone is a week past warranty, and I don't know that this would have been covered anyway. I'm prepared to fix it myself, as long as I have a good idea what I need to buy. Should I be looking at an LCD replacement? A digitizer replacement? Something else? I've read conflicting things on this. Thanks for any help that can be offered.
