Sorry to hear that, my own ticket wasn't answered for 2 months but was then answered the next day after I replied to it with a (stern) reminder and an update saying what state my screen was in, try maybe doing the same.

Same here, on all edges too like a 1mm border.

Hello,

The 10 of July I've made a ticket. The reply (12 of July) was not what I was expected and the ticket was closed. New reply for me, reminder the 19 of July : nothing. As proposed by the support, I asked the help of the 'sales', their reply indicate because it's a product issue, the support manage the ticket.
I don't know how I must wait to have a reply from the support

PinePhone bought in November 2020, unusable in July 2021

the screen right above of the SoC is extremely overheated when charging, it goes beyond 55 degrees celsius which is the limit for human skin to have continuous contact, still the screen works fine but I believe it will be damaged soon, a solution could be to make the phone thicker by making a silicone pad on the circumference, I have done the same on iphone 6 due to some other problem

I don't really know what else you could do other than opening a new ticket, describing that your PinePhone is unusable just over half a year after purchase due to a screen defect, perhaps attaching photos of it and mentioning that your previous ticket was wrongly closed. Persistence is often necessary when dealing with manufacturers (among other players on the market), especially when things go south after they already have your money.

55°C may be the limit for human skin touch, but ought under no circumstances be enough to cause phone screen delamination. I don't believe the issue was caused by heat either: I didn't notice the issue worsening after exposing the phone to high temperatures or slowing down after applying thermal throttling. What I did notice was the delamination spreading when the screen was exposed to sunlight. Nevertheless, still unacceptable for a phone.

The 'Sales' reply was forwarded to 'info@pine64.org'. The ticket is always open. The sender for my ticket was 'support@pinemicrosystemsinc.zohosupport.com'. Ok, I wait few days and I forward the Sales's e-mail to 'support@pine64.org' if I have no reply.

I don't know how much beyond 55 degrees on the surface and it may have much greater thermal centres behind the screen like 70 degrees or more, this will definitely deterriorate the screen after sometime

I've send a message to 'support@pine64.org' giving the ticket's number. This is the answer :

Ok, I resume the situation.

The ticket support send me to to the sales to buy a new screen. The 'sales' send me to the support that doesn't reply. The 'support' send me to the ticket system that doesn't reply.

Any good idea will be appreciate !

I'd suggest that you provide a few pictures of your delaminated screen as part of the support ticket.  With no pictures available, it's sometimes hard to completely understand what's someone complaining about.

The thermal daemon for the PinePhone I'm working on will also throttle the battery charging down it if detects the AXP803 PMIC or the battery overheating.  Though, there's quite a lot of additional software support that still needs to be implemented to have that feature working properly.
