Look specifically for black horizontal lines going down the screen. I have one, my best friend has one in a different spot, my girlfriend has none. All bought from the same store.

Ok now listen very carefully. In order to see this picture you need to have your brightness all the way UP.
You have to do the exact opposite that you have to do when trying to find the defect on your own screen.
This is a picture of my screen taken in total darkness with a damn playskool camera:

Make sure its totally dark in the room! If so you're good, nothing to worry about.

Interesting... I have a solid darker line going from top to bottom slightly to the left from the center. I also see some spots around the screen that I thought at first might have been fingerprints as they're a little more blurred than the rest.
Never noticed anything until I viewed this image.

I don't know if I'm doing this right. I don't really see "lines", just two boxes at the bottom that I can move left and right. Then the whole middle of the screen isn't as "dark" as the top 25%.

You need to take one of the attached grey images and open it full screen on your phone so that nothing else is showing on the screen. Then follow the rest of the instructions to check for defects.

Ya I have one too that's slightly left, same as was described already in this thread. When did you get yours? I got mine the first day, if you got yours on the same day then both screens were probably in the same batch and all have this defect. It isn't visible outside of a gray picture in complete darkness, and doesn't effect the screen otherwise, so I'm pretty sure that the screen passed QA testing wihtout anyone noticing.
everyone ive showed this to has a line from top to bottom slightly to the left....you sure its not just in the wallpaper....because ive looked at similar dark grey wallpapers with the same settings on in dark light and none of thoes have ever showed a line
mine doesnt have any !

Yes I'm sure its not the wallpaper. I can tell because when I turn the phone sideways the picture rotates but the line doesn't.

Went to Sprint and told them my pictures all had a green tint, and the screen was yellow and overall performance was laggy...all I had to show him was one green pic and he swapped the phone out. Told him battery was not that much better than the EVO and he gave me a new battery and let me keep my current battery.
Overall this phone is better. Screen is not a dull yellowish color, camera seems to be working, and the home screen lag is gone....
What HW version was your old one and what is your new one?
Most likely going to be a 0002
the green tint to the pictures is gone? mine is always doing that.
I didn't even think to look at the old HW version. This this one is 0002. The green tint is there for a second or 2 and after it auto focus, its gone. My old phone it just stayed green. And my grass looked like I was at the masters tournament and my grass don't look that damn good LOL
But the difference in scrolling through my home screens is a big difference. Even the guy there said it was pretty bad. I got the same widgets up now and its smooth

Oh and I couldn't run a live wallpaper at all. Phone would bog down. Now its running without a hitch so maybe I had a defective phone but now I'm not so tempted to turn this bad boy in like i was yesterday
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
good to know. i will have to take mine back tomorrow then. my phone also won't play the weather live wallpaper for more than 10 sec before it freezes up.
The live weather app stops after about 10 seconds. And restarts when you turn the screen back on fyi
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The weather wallpaper does? That kids defeats the purpose of it being a live wallpaper doesn't it?
Also anyone have the little menu that allows you to select live,HTC,or gallery wallpaper have a distorted glitch as it pops up? Also when I click on HTC wallpaper and it brings up the previews of the wallpapers it takes a long time for them all to show up. It's almost like It's downloading them over a slow connection.
I'm just trying to figure this out before I take my phone back here in a couple hours.

How long is a long time? Mine takes maybe 3 to 5 seconds.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I'd say over 5sec the first time I look at them. Sometimes they don't even come up and I just give up all together. Also I constantly ha e stuff stop working and i have to reboot the phone. Like right now when i get a new email the notification tone isn't working. I'm not going to reboot the phone tho I'm going to show it to the Sprint store.

Yea...that's what i would do. Your issues seem like they are beyond what the phone should be doing.

Mine still does this. You would assume that a dual core with 1 gb of RAM wouldn't have these kinda delays. I.get the glitch in the menu as well. Think that's all software related. Hopefully there is a fix soon to knock out the kinks

i was going to take mine in today but i didn't have time. no reboot and now all the sudden the e-mail notification sound is working. all the bugs with this phone really suck.
This is just sorta a little tip that i found...its not completely black...but close to it
1. Go into settings, and display
2. Make sure the display mode is set to standard
3. Uncheck the box that says analyze LCD brightness.
Thats it...colors should be more dark now and the status bar is not that annoying gray!!!
Aaarrgghhh my eyes!
The grey background of the settings window got so bright when I unchecked the box, it actually hurt my eyes.
I had a tf101 before the tab and I actually prefer the look of the touchwiz stuff to stock HC, but I might just be weird...

that stupid option to change the color is ONLY reffering to the box your typing in not the messaging background. i know it sucks, it had me puzzled as well. but thats the answer your looking for.
change it to black and start writing a text....the box your writing in will be black with white letters....change it back to white and the box your typing in will white with black letters and that is it.

Just likr title says. When i use the free pixle test app to display black or pull up an all black photo theres little black smuges here and there. Usually no larger than a mm or 2.
Please test your devices and see if you have this as well. Be advised i had to go under the covers in my room with all my lights off. Your bathroom would work perfect too if you dont have a window in it as you need pitch black surroundings to see this.

This happens on our Skyrocket as well. But with that one the darker the screen you see lines appearing. I would guess its just the way the screen is because its on multiple devices.

Dear xda,
I don't know if anyone else has this weird problem.
I had it before the .475 update, after the .475 update ot went away and now has returned in the .510+ updates.
Please look at screen shot. Top right corner. Funny that even the screenshot captures the glitch.
Only happens on black areas.
My unit is from hong kong.

Forgive me but is it really top right?
I saw some on the upperightmost left corner on your first screenshot.
Or is it the one on top of the WiFi symbol?
I havent seen anything odd on the second pic..
Or is it because my phone wont load the whole pic because of slow internet connection?
Anyways, since it is visible on a screenshot, i'm pretty sure it is not an lcd/hardware issue..
Tried flashing again? The one where they say that it would fully clean your phone.. I think it is by using SEUS... :what:

Top and left. I think that is software's problem. If that is hardware problem, you can't find any red dot in screenshot.

I can see a red dot in the second image (BOTTOM LEFT), but it's a screenshot and a hardware error shouldn't really show up on a screenshot. And the fact that the red dot is nowhere to be found on the first image says it all. Let me also guess that the red dot only appears in one specific app?

Its actually there on the first screen shot also. The resolution just isn't good. But if you zoom in you will see it.
No it isn't specific to one app. I don't believe its a hardware problem. Software for sure, went away @.475. Just wondering if anyone else got it.

Red dots go away. They don't stay. I know how to emulate it.
Pull down your settings menu. At the bottom near the home button you will see your mobile providers name. There are 3 lines that indicate where you can pull up the menu again. Keep taping them. See if you can see red dots near the bottom left of the screen.
Thanks
