Screen Ripple when firmly holding phone...Common?
- I know there have been many threads about this topic, so I'm sorry if this bothers anyone.... I don't notice any screen ripple when I'm doing anything normal on the phone, like texting, typing, etc.
I watched a video on youtube, because I was curious what the screen ripple even looked like, and I noticed that my Tour does have a screen ripple on the right hand corner of the screen. It only seems to appear when I firmly grip the phone.
I'm just kind of curious if this type of screen ripple is normal/common, since it only seems to appear when I am intentionally gripping the phone hard? My tour is a green dot Tour that I received a couple weeks ago, so I don't know if it is something that I should return the phone for, since I still have a couple weeks to decide. Thanks in advance09-09-09 05:40 PMLike 0 - Dont worry about it, people will bi.tch and say use the search, but F them, they need to get a life if and take the same amount of time it takes to complain, and just answer you.
Yes its very common. Some green dots have no ripple or so I hear. I have a Tour manufactured on July 17th and it barely has a ripple, you can only see it when on a dark screen, pressing buttons hard or squeezing the phone. It shouldnt be an issue. If its real bad Id say return it for a new one, but its so common I wouldnt worry about it too much.09-09-09 05:44 PMLike 0 - The screen is lcd, if you press it,touch it or firmly grip it as you say, it will ripple, just like when you touch your lcd computer screen or lcd tv. If you use like a telephone should be used and you see no ripple, there is NO reason to return it.
Stop worrying and enjoy it.
BTW, mine ripples on the top right corner, but only when i use it as a hammer.09-09-09 05:46 PMLike 0 - The screen is lcd, if you press it,touch it or firmly grip it as you say, it will ripple, just like when you touch your lcd computer screen or lcd tv.

BTW, mine ripples on the top right left, but only when i use it as a hammer.
Dont be so dense! The problem is you need to download the Tour hammer application first! :P09-09-09 05:49 PMLike 0 - The screen is lcd, if you press it,touch it or firmly grip it as you say, it will ripple, just like when you touch your lcd computer screen or lcd tv.

Be happy that your screen only slightly ripples in exact situations. Personally, I can only see my screen ripple when playing the texas hold 'em game that came with the smartphone.09-10-09 12:43 AMLike 0 - 09-10-09 04:23 AMLike 0

And what is the fix for the screen ripple? Aside from a replacement, please tell me.09-10-09 11:13 AMLike 0 - I think it is all a matter od degree and tolerance. I think any LCD screen is prone to ripple. I don't think that will change.
Could RIM have designed the Tour (or any device) in such a way that the screen internals are more isolated from the housing and other internal parts? Perhaps. But I won't lose sleep over it.09-11-09 07:10 AMLike 0 - I've owned many many smartphones, many of them touch screens. None of the screens ripple. Only the blackberry.
Treos, all of them, nope. iphone, nope. Android. nope. Curve 8330--nope. It's abundantly possible to build a smartphone without screen rippling, no matter what the lcd type. Virtually all the Tours ripple, and no one can figure out why some people swear that they have no ripple. It's possible that these truly ripple-free units exist, but many times the user probably isn't looking for ripple in the right places. If so, that's great. But to say that rippling is normal is just simply not true, since other smartphones, even when touching the screen, do not ripple. It's shoddy quality control or a design brain fart.09-12-09 02:01 PMLike 0 - I have a ripple when I press down on the left metal bevel of the Tour. The right side ripple only appears when I press the side pretty hard.
Overall, through normal usage I don't notice this at all. Considering all the other things I've had, I would consider this negligible at best.09-12-09 06:26 PMLike 0
