Screen dying already?

[raph]

I also have the same issue. Also the Manjaro batch. I don't think the phone suffered water damage (it may have taken the rain once or twice while texting, not more than a few seconds though because it is really painful to write a text under the rain). I use the phone daily (it is my only phone). I'm not going to replace the screen because even if it is a bit unsightly, it still works perfectly.

I'm sorry to hear that.   At least the screen still works.

We're trying to pinpoint the root cause of this issue, which may or may not be the CPU thermals, so providing additional details would be helpful:

• Have you, by chance, monitored the CPU temperature on your PinePhone over time?  If so, what were the averages?
  
• Roughly speaking, how warm has the phone been to the touch, especially the upper third of the screen?
  
• Have you used CRUST, i.e. has your PinePhone been suspended to RAM when left unused?  It saves power and allows the phone to cool down.
  
• Using the phone as your daily driver, how long did it take for the screen delamination to become visible?
  
• Could you, please, provide a couple of pictures of your delaminated screen?
  

Sure.

• No, sorry. I can monitor from now on if it helps, when the phone is plugged.
  
• Usually not very hot, but the upper third of the screen regularly gets warm. It got quite hot when I was trying the convergence feature, when I received the phone. By the way, the phone was discharging even though it was plugged. It also gets hot when I occasionally try something heavy like for the phone, like FreeTube or Pure Maps, or when evolution-alarm-notify gets stuck. This is occasional, not day to day.
  
• Yes. I think there was a time when the PinePhone was suspended after a few minutes, now it is 1 minute. Once or twice I temporarily needed to make sure the phone didn't go to sleep and forgot to restore the setting right away, but not for more than a few days.
  
  However, I usually leave the phone plugged the whole day and then it does not suspend. It might get hot without me noticing but I don't think it is usually the case (I would have noticed I think).
  
• Sorry, I don't remember well. I first thought it was a problem with the screen protection and haven't much thought at first. It started before this thread was posted, probably in February or March, so probably 4-5 month.
  
• I don't have any device to take convincing pictures right now, but here's one attached. It first started at the top-right corner. Then it spread across the upper edge of the screen and then on the left edge, starting from the top and spreading to the bottom. Quite like the picture given in the first post. It has now spread on the whole bottom and right edges of the screen. I noticed today that a second "layer" has started spreading at the top-right corner. I hope it won't spread too much, it is manageable for now but if the entire screen gets affected it will probably be a bit tough!
  

Feel free to keep asking question, I'm happy to help.
