The same with my N900. All of a sudden a patch started to peel off.
At first I thought there was something sticky on the screen, so I tried to wipe it away with a cloth, but the patch became larger until I realized that the screen was peeling.

Thanks,
Well - no, the device is not overclocked, although it runs the latest version of CSSU testing. It seems to have gotten worse while keeping it in my pocket in a very hot season..
I'm not sure it is worth changing the screen lens just for this, but it's really annoying! Any thought?

does your device overclocked? The screen does seem burned.

This is just one bad point of resistive screens . I would try to peel it off completely or replace touchscreen .

Putting them on an already scratched screen won't make the scratches go away, but will reduce the impact of them and at least give you a nice smooth surface. If you put a bit of water on the screen and screen protector when applying it will help you get rid of any air bubbles when smoothing it out.

Otherwise your only choice is to replace the touchscreen.
I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing something similar to their N900s. I've never used a screen protector, and have been generally happy. Since last month, after over 2 years of intense use of my phone, the screen is kind of "peeling off". Something is coming off, making it quite hard to read from the phone in some light conditions. The screen no longer feels smooth when swiping, but touch works fine. Should I change the screen? I have found no way to remove this.
Have a look at the attached picture, it might help understand...
Thanks!
