Hello Everyone
This isn't a big issue as yet, but I thought I'd just mention it as it seems to be getting worse. I bought a Pinephone about a year ago and it came with a screen protector. I haven't had any problems with it until recently - It seems that the adhesive holding the screen protector to the screen is starting to streak. At least, I think it's the screen protector adhesive. All the whitening is occurring on the display edges, rather than the edges of the protector, as can barely be seen in my grainy photo attached. As such, I'm not sure if this might be an issue with the screen itself, but the whitening is not visible when there is a display image at these whitening sites.
I suspect that it may be something to do with prolonged heat generation from the modem/processor as the position of this whitening and the observation of it's periods of greatest growth coinciding with prolonged heat (usually from video playback). I would be curious; has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, were you able to find the cause? Also, were there any steps you took to arrest the growth of these white patches and/or ameliorate what was seen?
