Hi, few days i noticed pink area on my S3 screen. Two days later its getting bigger and darker. I googled the problem and found out that might be water damage ? Weird part is that the only time when the phone possibly might got some moisture is when i go to the gym and use my phone when my hands are sweaty to look rountine.
So, heres my questions.
Is it possible that little bit sweat coult result that ?
How to fix it ?
Thanks.
(sorry for bad english)

Cant post links cause im newbie, just replace(dot) wit "." in links to pictures.
Yes. It is water damage and it has broke your LCD. The only solution is to replace the screen completely, which is significantly harder to do than to say it.

Hi All,
Im having some problems with my Evo 3D. It was scratched out of nowhere by just sitting in my backpack MP3 slot. I found some dust on the screen (most likely thats the cause of the scratches). I have 2 medium scratches and a lot of minor/medium. The problem is that I am really getting upset when I look at my screen and I decided to accept it condition no more. I have 2 questions (For the first one I am pretty sure of the answer, but still I will ask it).
First. Are these scratches covered by the warranty? The obvious answer is no of course, but I am wondering - since it is with the "mighty" Gorila Glass, how did it got scratched without even dropping it... So Im thinking, is it possible that the warranty will cover this?
Second. If the answer of the above question is NO - I will change my digitizer. I chose to change the digitizer because it costs 10 pounds, comparing with the whole screen which is 70-80 on ebay. There is something that bothers me though. I am afraid that even a slight misalignement will cause troubles while using the phone and missclicking some stuff... Also I am afraid that dust might get between the screen and the digitizer while Im doing that.
I hope there is someone that already done this (and I mean digitizer only change) that will be able to help me with some advices and/or techniques. I am technocal guy, so following your instructions wont be a problem. Its just I haven't change Evo 3D digitizer before and I want to have proper preparation.
Any advises will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Have a look at this:

I posted some stuff on the last page too so you can go to that.
HTC might fix it for you, probably at a cost, you can give them a ring and see if they can help
Other than that, just read through the link i gave, alot of good info there that will help you replace the digitizer. Good luck!
Hey everyone,
I noticed a small dark spot on the left of the pictures I was taking with the phone, and ignored it. This was about 2 months ago.
But just today, I turned on the camera and saw a large smiley face dark patch on the camera. iv tried cleaning it with compressed air, rubbing alcohol, restarting the phone, reflashing the stock firmware. Nothing is helping.
Im really really annoyed, for a phone so expensive why is it plagued with so many problems? Nothing is stopping me from tossing this thing and getting an HTC or something because I am getting a bit fed up with the pink spot, usb port problems, grey spot etc etc. Anyway, enough complaining.
For now, any suggestions?

I'll give you $20 for the phone.
Didn't realise this was a sale thread...
It's not. When people throw tantys along the lines of 'I'm going to throw this phone against the wall & get a <insert brand/model of phone here>', most people on here roll their eyes and/or laugh. And tend to ignore the person posting same.
Now...To your issue.
It may well be a physical issue with the camera/lens. There may be something trapped inside the glass covering the lens (maybe at manufacture), or it could be a scratch/blemish of some sort on the glass itself.
If it's that much of an issue, I'd send it in for warranty service. Obviously if it's an issue around a scratch or blemish on the glass covering the lens that has developed after you bought the phone, you might well have problems getting it fixed under warranty.
The other thing you could try (you didn't give us any info about rom) would be to go back to stock if you're currently not running stock to rule out a firmware issue, though you did say you noticed it two months ago & let it slide.
To me, that sounds like it's either a hardware problem with the camera/sensor or that lens/glass issue I mentioned.
I too got a spot on the top right hand corner if I use the camera, not otherwise. It's very annoying and now my s2 is NOT in warranty period. What should I do? The upper glass on camera is clean without any scratches.
Hey all,
In advance I am sorry if this post is in the wrong section, I noticed there isn't a section dedicated to my particular phone so I just guessed this would be the best of the worst.
So here's the problem. A few days ago my phone fell on the street and the LCD screen got distorted on the left side. It is kinda hard to explain but the problem is that the pixels of the left side of the screen refresh very slowly (if at all). The problem is worse when you get to the edges of the left side of the screen. I attached some pictures so you can see what exactly the problem is.
So obviously my phone needs to be repaired and I would like to do it myself but, as the noob that I am, I don't quite know "what" should or could be repaired.
So here is the first questions:
- If you look at the photo's, do you think the LCD screen is the only thing that is broken?
For the follow-up question is a bit of extra information required. My phone is a strange model so I actually can take out the LCD screen because it is not glued to the touch screen. I've done a bit of experimenting and I already took the phone apart quite easily and dismantled the LCD screen.
So here is the follow-up question:
Is there a way to repair the LCD screen (assuming that it is the only thing that is broken)? Or do I need to replace it?
Thanks in advance,
Tyred Mayfly

Before you burn me at the stake, I know the title is vague, but I do have a few questions I need answered if possible.
First things first, I have an Alcatel Pop One Touch C7. You're probably not familiar with the phone but I don't think it actually matters in this case.
Now, I dropped my phone a couple of weeks ago, and while the screen didn't crack, it is definitely not working properly. What I think happened is that the cable connecting the display to the phone is slightly dislodged. The screen shows washed up colors and seems to lag when trying to display a new "frame", for example when I type in something and the screen slowly fades in said something. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.
I tried opening the phone, but when I unscrewed the back, I saw this sticker going from the battery slot all the way to the board.
I watched a few videos showing how to "unstick" the sticker, but I don't have a heatgun or tool that can help me do so.
My question is:
Do you think this sticker is important to the phone, or can I just rip it out or cut it?
Thanks in advance

First, no, don't cut or rip anything. In my opinion, you may have cracked your display in the drop. If you have access to a UV flashlight, turn the phone off and shine the light on the display and see if you see any cracks. If you can get a hair dryer, use that in place of a heat gun. I look at it like this, it's in the phone for a reason, therefore don't break anything.

Sadly, I won't be able to do anything about the screen given two of the screws are chewed up.
I'll probably just get a new phone and leave this one around for an emergency.
Hi
Sorry if wrong category. I was sheard forum and i dont found that problem.
So, i have S6 Edge with broke glass screen. In my country everyone say its impossible replace it. I must pay one month pay work for new screen......

Sorry for my tragic English, this is not my native language. I tryed hard. Thanks everyone for help.
Hmm I know other people who have been in this situation where the screens are very expensive or hard to replace. They purchased phone insurance and then made a claim a few weeks later and got the screen fixed.. after reading you've already attempted so you'd have the extreme cases of saying it was lost... There's many things wrong with this method but many do it

Okay, well hopefully someone on here can give you some good advice
i tried replacing my screen, i ended up tearing the LCD so had to buy a new LCD assembly which is easy to replace but it costs a fair bit more.
this is by far the best way but if you want to just try the screen then be very very careful as the LCD is glued to the screen and hard to seperate.
That hole its biger and biger. Now i have left and rigjt button with only back funcion. Something is really bad there. I must repair this fast.
OK, theme to close. I **** up screen. Never ever repair phone when drunk. Eeverything go to trash.
