Hi,
Today I've noticed a little white spot only visible under white/light colors background.
This picture isn't very clear (it is much more visibile than it seems) but I think it gives an idea.
Any one with the same problem? My phone never fell, doesn't have a single scratch and I always carry it inside the leather case.
Since I bought it through expansys do I have to send it back to them or can I go directly to an official repair center here in Portugal ?
I have the same, in similar(or the same) place. It is just slightly brighter spot.
Also ordered it from Expansys, but I am not going to send it back for replacement now. Do not want to loose my Leo for few weeks, I just love this phone
I have a similar white spot on my screen too. It wasn't present when I bought it. I can't understand what generated it.
I Too
I had the same problem. I bring my phone to service. They replace touch display with new one (I have 2 year warranty ).
I have the same problem. Sent it back to seller and now waiting for almost 4 weeks for repairs.
fortunately i have no that white spot...
Same problem here, sent it direct to HTC and they replaced the screen.
it also happened to me.
i had that problem, the only difference is i know where i got it from. i was sitting on a seat and the phone was put under some pressure and the screen stuck to itself thats the only way i can describe it. then it poped back out and left that strange white mark where it had stuck to itself, so thats a lesson to me (and you) do not under any circumstances have your phone in your pocket when sitting down. i had it repaired under warrenty and every things ok now, i make sure i dont pressure the screen at all now!!
Have a look at this thread (in which there is another as well):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5668097
i had the same problem. just got it back after i brought it in and they replaced the screen. i didn't even begin to try anything myself. now it'd perfect again.
good luck!
cheers, ftrippie
I have a white spot to, right in the middle of the screen, and its the backlight that comes thru a lite more. Nothing that bothers me though since it's not really a defect - unless you don't want it to be, of course.
I sent my HD2 to the service because of the white spot....They told me it will take between 3-10days (I suppose it is the standard response).
Now let's wait....
I had a thread about this too. Very annoying so I emailed HTC and they told me to send it to a service centre for repair.
The problem is that I bought mine on Ebay and after they have the serial number they've told me it was bought in Czech republic so it has to be sent there.
I don't fancy doing that really - what bloody difference does it make which centre it goes to? ALL of these phones are still under warrantee so it shouldn't matter!!
Mine was assembled in Czech republic too but this is happening for all HD2 sold here. I will call Monday to check if they should replace the screen here or they have to send it there.
Today I've got back my HD2 from service after 12days.
They changed the screen and made me a rom update to 1.66.479.2.
Im having the same problem, the CPU is causing it. when you have "overheated" your phone, you can see it. I'm having a very cleary seeable rectangle in the screen. currently im E-mailing with HTC Support for Replacing the screen, or the whole phone!
This is exactly the issue I has, white blurry patches started appearing on my screen, with one in particular very prominent. I re-flashed the network firmware off the memory card, removing the HSPL and returned it to O2 for repair. I got it back 8 days later with a brand new screen.

You clearly have a different issue if you think that.
I had my screen replaced due to this problem & now only 2 months after I have the same problem and getting progressivly worse. Not Happy.
I am lost without my phone, it was hard enough the first time, waiting ages as they didn't have any screens in stock!! nevermind the thought of having to send it off again for a second time!!!
Really bloody annoying but my new screen is starting to develop the same issue. As I said above I had my previous screen replaced because of this a few months back and now I can see some more appearing. I can only assume HTC use bad quality LCDs because I have a 2g iPhone which is nearly 3 years old and it has never suffered with this and hasn't been treated any different than my Leo.
I'm not amused but I will send it back again to be repaired, using sub-standard components will cost them more than me.
White Spot visible on light backgrounds
Same here - refer attached.
Have made background darker to highlight this white spot.
The white spot resembles a 'feathered effect' as opposed to a 'solid spot'.
Red circle shows actual white spot on screen (may not be visible when viewing from a monitor / notebook), hence my attached image with darkened area.
It is only visible on light backgrounds.
Just to mention, I sent in my HD2 to LEAF South Africa yesterday May 13 2010, who completed the repair the same day!!!
LEAF really are superb in South Africa and a credit to HTC.
Thank you Wayne Parkinson of LEAF SA who took care of the details (as always), and their dedicated Support/Repair Team who did the rest.
Beat that HTC Worldwide
My sympathies to those experiencing delays.
Just bring your device to South Africa.
(No wonder the FIFA World Cup was awarded to our neck of the woods!)
I have a similar issue only that its only visible when viewing a bright screen and at a wide angle I see some light spot, its impossible to see it when viewing the screen directly. Can you tell me if it a spot on the screen or below it, or some deffect on the lcd. If its on the surface of the screen how do I safely try to remove it.

I have the XV6800 and noticed that this phone over times developes some screen spots. I have one so far, and on my previous one that I returned (for other reasons) developed one also.
I read a thread on another website that Moguls / Titans develop it too.
Has any one else Developed this? If so is it fixable or is it something that might cause like sometype of recall and issue a fix where we might get phone replacements later on?
i have a light spot about the size a pea in the screens lower left-hand quadrant. It's noticeable it during the verizon boot-up screen with the white background, in word, etc. anything with a white background. Not noticeable if the screen is colored.
I've wondered if this was normal.
mine's got 3 of them now
same here, my burnin spot is also in the lower left-hand corner the size of a pea.
same here, lower left corner is lighter than the rest of the screen...looks like somebody missed something on QA

Yes, mine is in the exact same place. I read on another website that it might be an HTC issue because other TITAN's have gotten these spots also.
At first I thought that a picture image was burnt into my screen or that I might have pressed the screen to heavily and damaged it.
This has happened twice. I wonder if there is a fix because this is very annoying especialy when trying to read or watching a video.

I have a pc6800 through Alltel and just noticed the same problem three days ago...has anyone spoken with their SP and found out if they are replacing them?

I am afraid to take mine in since my all High and mighty Moister sticker now says void even though my phone hasn't been with in 100 feet of water. I find those stickers to be such BS...but that could just be me...I wish I could find some where to buy spare ones..

I am not entirely certain but I think the void sticker that is displayed by the battery is for the screw. I mean if you try to unscrew your phone to fiddle with the insides then that voids your warranty. I could be wrong.
The only concern would be that if we where to return the phone to get a replacement one, that we would have to flash our RADIOS and ROMS to stock if any one has flashed them to anything that is not stock.
The stickers on both of my alltel 6800's said void out of the box. Their explaination for this is the when the sticker get wet the words bleed and turn the entire sticker purple. Not sure how accurate the rep was but that is the story for what it is worth.

Yep..you are right . The void stickers are good until they turn a solid purple or red...weeehhh...I'm goin to go and replace my phone this week will let you know how it goes..and what they say
Yeah, mine's got a spot the size of a small pea in the bottom left-hand corner. Doesn't bother me too much yet though, I've got the insurance so I'll go get it replaced one of these days. For others that have tried to get them replaced, any troubles?
After doing some research on forums I noticed that many people have this problem.
Some say that it might be an issue with the phone heating up, faulty LCD manufacturing, the excess use of the vibration feature and so on......
But It seems that no matter what you ( such as gettting a replacement) your current or new phone might still get these spots.
It seems that not many carriers know about this issue, not even HTC.
So the problem might consist unless it is made known to them so they can create a fix for the new shipment of phones. Or else this will reoccur on the phones they have shipped out already.
It sucks because most of us paid a large amount of money for these devices to have it be faulty( not something that can be fixed via software at this moment). Just my opinion.
Ditto, same spot here. was wondering about the spot for a while. I have dropped mine a million times and thought it was because of that.
would be nice to be able to change it in because of the spot because mine is beat down to the ground like 4 flat tires.
will they give me crap because of how beat up it is?
I know every time I go to Alltel and get a phone replaced via the insurance the first question they ask the Rep at the store is if the phone looks like it has been dropped or if it has water damage....I'm sure that is so they can blame it on the user. As far as the phone being under manufacturer warranty they usually just swap it out for me no questions asked. I just always hate when they open the box infront of me and give nothing but the phone....would be nice to have an extra case and charger...LOL..
anyone know if sprint good about swapping phones and if i should do insurance or manufacturer warranty and if i do insurace can i switch to touch or you can only change phone in first thirty days
i got 2 spots in lower left corner
Me too (x3)
I've been through three Sprint-branded titans because of this. I'm 100% sure it's a design flaw. If we all complain at once, HTC might actually listen and make a titan that doesn't do this!
I also have two pea-sized spots in the lower left quadrant of the screen. Doesn't really bother me though, as I only notice it when the phone is booting up.
I've got 3 spots lower-lefthand corner as well on my Mogul.
I made a poll to actually see the statistics of the effects of these Spots on the TITAN / 6800

My wife broke her screen on Friday and we went to a local shop to get the screen fixed yesterday.
This morning she mentioned that she thought the color on the new screen was different. She also pointed out that the buttons at the bottom didn't light up the same.
They practically don't light up at all.
The screen seems a bit dimmer as well. Not as bright and clear.
Is there any way that I can find out what kind of screen they put in her phone short of threatening to bulldoze the shop unless they put the right screen in?
I'm more than capable of dissasembling the phone without killing it and now wish I had but wifey wanted a working phone *today*
Can anyone help out? Are there any part numbers I can use to see what she's got now?
can you take a picture of the phone from upwards, and from sideways (to see if the screen is thicker than it should be)
sounds like it's a regular LCD screen

You can tell if its LCD by how deep the blacks are.

definitely got shafted. you got an LCD screen. i'm pretty sure the local shop orders their parts from eBay or some chinese supplier. those screens are usually LCD even tho some may claim its amoled. the only way to get a genuine Super AMOLED screen is to contact samsung to replace it. i remember reading somewhere than samsung is not distributing their Super AMOLED screens to 3rd parties

I used to be a cellphone technician for a short time and I can tell you that we fixed screens on a lot of touch screen phones... but all the parts are dirt cheap chinese knockoffs!!! There is NO local shop that uses original OEM parts!!! unless u send it back to tmobile or etc!
to answer short and accurate u didnt get the same screen ur vibrant came with!

Now I really feel like a total idiot
After a lot of searching, I have narrowed down to Optimus One as my first Android buy. The only thing that bothers me is the dust under the screen problem. Since I live in Delhi, India, which is a generally dusty place, it scares me even more.
Is it a safe buy despite this? Has the problem been rectified by LG?
Well my house is extremely dusty and this is why my laptop is hardly working anymore because it's so full of dust... there's nothing I can do about it, because this is how this city is. But my LG hasn't had any dust under the screen, only on top.
I don't have any dust under screen of my phone too..
I bought my 01 two weeks ago and it already has dust under the screen, so I do not think this problem has been rectified.
been using the phone for about a month, and no problems here
no problem for me too. been using for 3 months, and always carry in my pocket, which is rather dusty.
Bought mine in the first week of january. Its got loads of dust under the screen. The manufacture date is of november 2010 and firmware is 2.2
I think the newer model which has a revised hardware ( with the sd card slot on the left hand side of the phone) does not have this problem. The older model has the sd card hidden under the back cover and the back cover has to be removed to insert our remove the card.
You can also recognize the new model with its cover box. It is white in color and bigger than the older box which is small and black in color.
In simple terms check the manufacture date. Also buy a phone without insurance or hw related problem (dust under the screen) will not dealt by the lg service center
I think it just effects certain batches as I have the one with sd slot under the cover, and have no dust at all after 3 months.

Try looking at the screen in broad daylight under the sun with the screen turned off.
I used to think the same until I looked at the screen in the outdoors.
The dust goes in though the physical keys.

Hello!
Just bought Optimus one in Slovenia a week ago. Dust under screen in lower right corner. You can see it in under the sun.
What did you guys do about that? Is it better to open it up yourself and clean it and possibly put something on the lower part of the screen to prevent dust getting in (tape?, piece of foam?) or take it back to the shop? If they're just gonna clean it, it will happen again, can they ''fix'' it? Otherwise it's a great phone, but this issue is annoying.
Dont open the phone your self. You will void your phone warranty. Better take it to the service center and tell them to put a piece of tape at the bottom portion of the screen. if they dont do it, dust will re enter the screen area.
hmm i have a custom Rom on it but I guess they probably won't check that stuff for this kind of repair...
I think this may be just with some countries a lot of people are reporting no problems, so if you had red that indi optimus had this problem you could be another.
no dust went inside my o1
Has anyone else experienced "LCD mura" with their Primes, and if so, has the issue gotten any worse since you noticed it? LCD mura looks similar to light bleed, but not in corners of the screen. Rather, it is a small blotch/"bright spot" appearing anywhere on the screen. I have one such problem area that showed up after owning the Prime for about a month. It hasn't gotten any worse, but it's annoying on white backgrounds. I'm wondering how common of a problem this is. A Google search shows that it's a somewhat regular occurrence on cheaper LCD screens.
Ohhh, so *that's* what that is. I've had if for a while in one spot. Only noticeable on white backgrounds.
Yes had two such areas on my TF201. Had the sreen replaced under warranty.

What was the turnaround on the replacement? I have about 5-6 of those "white spots" now...
Have the spots come back after it was fixed?
My prime had 7 bright pixels!
They developed 2 months after I bought them..and kept increasing with time. These pixels will not go away with pixel fixer apps either.
Have sent my tablet for an RMA to get the LCD replaced. Fingers-crossed.

Sure, will keep the thread updated when i get it back. Only 5 days (3 business days) so far. RMA On "Waiting-[WB5] Wait for Repair\Test\Aging" status.
had 2 on mine, they didn't get bigger or anything. thought i could live with it and decided that since every time I saw it I was pissed so sent it in for RMA. Sent in March 26th (they received it) and was returned April 8th back in my hands. SOOOOO Happy I did I now feel like this is the tablet I should have always had. Also my time may have been extended by also getting bt/wifi fixed (well partially fixed, usable now)

I guess I had this on my TF101, A few white spots showed up, I sent it in for RMA, it came back and looked fine (they said they replaced the screen) but after a few months the white spots came back almost in the same exact spot. I sent it in for RMA a second time, this time they flagged it as CID (customer induced damage) I emailed Hai, and *****ed and complained saying they fixed it the first time and didnt flag it as CID, so why are they flagging it this time. The next day I got an email from Hai saying it was taken care of and was no longer considered CID, and was being repaired.. So it does seem the white spots return in some cases
I had one of these on my screen. LCD replaced in a day. But then there were other issues like them not connecting the screen properly so only half the touch would register. Ended up getting a refund.
Just noticed my second LCD panel has a developed light 5mm mura spot.
Not as bad as last time.
Same area as last time. Lower left corner.
Would be interested to hear where other's have found their mura spots.
I have a couple on my prime, towards the bottom of the screen in landscape - one is about 3mm by 2 mm the other about half that size - they do grate on your nerves once you can see them, especially as so much of what I do on my prime (kindle, email, word-processing, surfing the web) is against a white background. I've emailed ASUS and am looking into a RMA.
I had the same problem, right in the center of the screen, one bigger spot and two smaller.
Sent my Prime to RMA a month ago, still waiting for it. Seems that he replacement screen is not so easy to find, in Europe.
BTW, they not considered it CID, and they will repair it under warranty.
Update on my prime's RMA
My tablet is still in WB5 state for an RMA to fix 7 such bright spots. In multiple conversations with CSRs it was explained that other issues (unspecified) were detected after the repair, and the tablet is now waiting for some special components to be repaired.
I am still within 10-14 business days to repair period, so the RMA can not be esclated yet.
I regret having sent my tablet for LCD replacement. Will kepp posting any updates that I have.
I recall someone mentioning the below statement in some other forum...
"I hate apple. But atleast their Sh**t works and they support it"
How true!
FYI - I sent it to TEXAS repair center.
WTF! Just noticed a mura starting to form.....ughh every time I am happy with my prime I find something that P***es me off with it. I really want to love this tablet. I feel like I am prime-bipolar. Some days I am prime-manic and some days I am prime-depressed. /Sigh Asus why do you toy with my electronic emotions?

I'm noticing a 3rd spot develop on mine - begun the RMA process. I'm going to brace my self to be without my prime for at least a month. (I survived without it for 40 years, I'm sure I can go a month...)
i had spots on my first prime (BCOK) but exchanged due to GPS (also had haptic feedback issue too).
Second prime (c10) has a couple spots in landscape about an inch from the bottom of the screen near the center. I have "kept an eye on it" as far as noticing it only when I'm really on a white background or anything. I usually use it for reading and/or taking notes on PDFs so I surprisingly haven't been bothered by it AT ALL. I actually forgot they were there until last week.
Anyways, if it gets any bigger or I get more spots, I'll send it in over the summer...
i have a tiny 2mm area which is really white, when i have a whitish background. It is imposibble to tell though when i have other colours on the screen. My tablets serial number starts with a B so it was one of the earlier ones. It just randomly happened one day but its not that big of an issue
i had 2, if in landscape they were just off center down and left, and a little further down and left like middle of lower left quadrant was the big 5-7mm one that really bothered me. Decided to eventually send it in they received unit march 26 was back in my hands april 13th ish (can't remember) i believe
I don't know if this is my problem or not -- When I have a black/dark screen, I can see two areas that are whiter than the rest of the screen. It's not individual pixels but splotches. I do not notice it on white or any other color background? I haven't decided if I can live with it yet or not - still hoping it will just go away! If this isn't LCD Mura, what would you call it?
Unfortunately my OCD kicked in and I returned my first EVO LTE as it had peace of dust under the screen and slight light leakage at the bottom. Other than that my screen never had any flex or ripple issues and I am regretting that I took it in for an exchange!! My 1st exchange unit had a pixel that was stuck in the on position and had seriously bad LCD ripple effect. Took that back to a different Best Buy and the second exchange also has this same LCD ripple effect. It is most noticeable on black screens if you lightly press around the sides like you are scrolling up and down a web page. It can also be scene on the home screen. There are several videos of a One X having this issue. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DmLNSiNT24
My question is, how many people have this issue? I am crossing my finger and hoping I can get a unit again that doesn't as I truely am pleased with the other aspects of this phone and can deal with the other small little hickups of a new product launch.
I have none of this.
my OG Evo had this after I replaced the digitizer. i assumed i did something wrong since the one before it did not. no issues on my lte
Limited sample of responses so far, but seems to be looking more positive than I expected it to be!
Maybe I have a better chance of my next replacement not having this issue than I thought! I hope it was just a bad batch for this area and the next shipment will be better!
Had same ripple issues
Hi..well I got my evo lte on a pre order. I ve had all the evos thru the last couple years and the LTE is a very good phone. I noticed the exact same thing,when I would gently push or tap on the screen it would have clothes of light that we're very bad,and on black screens that was even worse. I called sprint and they told me to go to a store to exchange it. I went to the store and the manager was awesome we sat down and he brought out 5 brand new EVO LTE s for us to try. At his amazement they all were as bad if not worse then mine on the ripple effect. I have a galaxy 2 touch and when we pushed on that screen no matter how hard it showed no signs of light bleeding or rippling at all. He didn't know what to tell me but did they say the screen on the htc should not do that at all and it might be a bad batch. To me it seemd the glass on the LCD screen didn't bond well with the glue they used,and when you pushed or tapped it would go down into the LCD screen. I know when you push directly on a LCD tv,computer screen it will give you the same similar effect. I called sprint and told them I was returning the phone and the lady in the return department told me she has had a few calls about people wanting to return the phone because of this issue. I really like the LTE,but couldn't put up with the screen issues. I am going to wait till the galaxy 3 comes out and also by then check out the EVO lte again to see if the problem has been fixed.
Sigh first off mine does this but I have to apply more force then is needed for the phone to register the touch. Second off WHY are you pushing with any kind of pressure to even do that? Now if you're just touching the LCD and it is doing this I understand. Also even in the vid it looks like more force is being applied as needed but not as much as I have to apply? That being said if you think sgsiii will be better well it will cause it doesn't use a LCD lolol.
Edit I think this is to have gorilla glass 2 which is thinner so chances of this happening are going to be common I'd assum of you push down on the screens lol.

From my experience I am not applying any more pressure than I would use normally. That is the only reason I noticed it. I was typing in my numerical pass code on a black screen and saw the ripples. I then did further investigation. The video might not be the best reproduction of how you get the problem under normal use, but it does show what the problem looks like. My first phone I actually used more pressure on trying to figure out what the dust spot was and never had this issue occur so had no clue what I would run into with an exchange. This is a production issue on some LTE's and One X's. The below comment was posted in an article on the One X in April. I just think some phones are much more noticeable than others and who knows what this issue will turn into over the life of the phone.
Source: TechnoBuffalo
"Three separate models provided by HTC, and one by network Three, produced the issue, CNET UK said, meaning it may potentially be widespread. However, Daniel Hundt, creative director at One & Co., HTC’s design consultancy, said the company would never “let that ship.” Hundt added, “maybe this is not a shipping build,” referring to a unit CNET UK writer Natasha Lomas demonstrated the issue with.
TechnoBuffalo’s own Jon Rettinger and Todd Hasleton didn’t notice the issue when reviewing the One X, and chances are good the average user won’t either. The device really is one of the most beautiful phones out there. It also provided the best Android experience we’ve had yet, so this “screen flex flaw” issue shouldn’t deter folks from picking the device up. Still, we reached out to HTC for comment, and will update as soon as we hear back"

This is not something that will push me to an S3 though!
Ok well then that's a diff story and I'm wondering if it due to the glue not curing by the time it got to you... Or a lack of glue. Since the glue has apparently been a problem this time around for HTC lol. And glad to know you won't defect to the sgsiii. The one thing I don't understand is why Samsung uses the gn as a beta for their sgs line. Same screen on gn and sgsiii but its to be slightly better.(only cause they used the gn as a test)

The one thing I don't understand is why Samsung uses the gn as a beta for their sgs line. Same screen on gn and sgsiii but its to be slightly better.(only cause they used the gn as a test)

Yep, glue on this current phone has the screen slowly getting white. Started out kind of yellow and now most of it is white with the bottom section still a little yellow. Going to give it till Friday to see if anything improves and if not I will test out the new shipment at Best Buy and try my hand at another exchange.
Update:
Went back to Best Buy and we opened up and looked at 5 different phones and EVERY single one of them had this issue. Some worse than others, but it was still apparent.
Not giving up though, trying a different store today to see how that works. I know my very first phone did NOT have this issue, just had a small speck of dust and slight light leakage..... I SOOO wish I had that phone back! Should have never returned it.
Update on my OCD - LCD Flex Issue:
5 Different Best Buys in two different states. Every phone I have tested had this issue to some extent (18 different phones tested). Some worse than others. I now believe my original phone had the issue, but was just less noticeable. Also, the screens normally do start out with more of a yellow tint from the glue. This mostly goes away after a few days of high brightness use, but sometimes a slight yellow band at the bottom remains. I think HTC doubled up the glue to help with the light leakage issues they are known for in the past.
Current phone has white balance closer to a pure white than a light yellow. (no yellow band at bottom either. This screen still has the flex issue but needs medium/medium heavy pressure to see on a black screen. I should never have to press that hard on anything to ever notice it. I am almost perfectly happy now, only bad thing is it does have one stuck pixel at the top of the screen (can't be seen on Pink, Red, Blue or Black, but is apparent on Yellow, Light Blue, Green, White and Gray). Would have never noticed it without the dead pixel test. I would rather have that than have it sensitive to the flex issue and any yellow tint to my white screen.
So, if you have not noticed the flex issue, then DO NOT look for it or try to reproduce it. You will most likely find it. Not a show stopper and should not be reproduced under normal use (Except for the few bad eggs that are really sensitive).
