Quick question:
My screen seems to have a faint blue mark on it (noticable only on a white background).
Is there anything that can be done to remove it or is it the actual screen that is damaged?
Thanks

Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this in the blackstone; I can see a grid of dots all over the screen when it's turned on. Ok, you have to look closely, but it's a bit annoying. I can see the dots better when I have a white or green background. For example, going to Start -> Programs I see the dots in the space between the icons.
I know the dots are from the 'resistive' layer, the dots are the sensors of the touchscreen... but they become visible and appear as small green dots perfectly aligned. I don't see them all the time, only when I have a white background or looking with a certain angle.
Should I be concerned? Could it be a problem with my screen?
Thanks!
Sounds a bit strange to me, the only time I can see the dots/grid is in bright sunlight. Then they look like small pin points in plastic.
i've never noticed that on mine...
That is normal, those are touch sensors for the screen. They allow the screen to recognise a touch.

Agree, but I had other PDAs before and never seen the dots when the screen is turned on. I don't care about the dots being visible when I'm under a bright light; my point is that I can see the dots when the screen is turned on, no matter under what kind of light. When I have a white backround, it looks like there's dust on the screen. If I look closely, I can see the dots in green colour, as a result of the reflectied light from the screen. I know they are the touch sensors, but it seems no one else can see them--
Any idea?
Thanks!
it is indeed normal especially under bright sunlight. However if you insist that you can see them when you switvh your device on, no matter the external light conditions, there might be something wrong with the screen. Have you seen other HD phones recently? Do you see the same dots there when they're switched on?

I haven't had the chance to see another HD; I've looked at a Diamond and Cruise, the dots are NOT there. I've tried to take a picture, but seems impossible to see the points in a picture (at least for the N95's camera).
I found an old tread talking about old PDAs that had the same issue, maybe they explain the issue better: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=207321
I'm not sure if I should send the HD to the service. Anyone knows how the 'worlwide warranty' works? I sent an email using htc.com site, but they don't respond.
Thanks!
Any advice on this matter...?
I don't know about colored dots, but every pocket pc I've ever owned had the dot grid visible in sunlight, it is normal, they should be clear dots though.
Hello
I purchased G1 with broken display on eBay from other user, hoping I could fix it.
G1 works good, its rooted and running cyanogen rom. Digitizer works, display is readable but colors are upside down. For example in settings screen text is yellow, background is blue arrows are somewhat gold. App menu background is black text, blue, attached pictures should tell more, one is home screen and other one is flashlight app with half intensity.
I dissembled the phone, searching for any signs of damage or anything, everything seemed ok. I am not sure if I should buy new LCD screen or Flex Cable. Did anyone encountered similar problem?
Hello everyone.

Are someone has same issue? and how to fix it? thank you very much.

The best I could to to check mine was to open up my email. The whole screen is white. I did not see anything except white along the edge.

thank you very much.
please try in LCD Test(*#0*# in Diagnostic Mode) select RED you will see a white border but on my device left-border is green (other sides are OK).
It's very hard to be absolutely sure on red, but on blue and green the edges are definitely all white.

It is green on the left side of mine, some its more subtle, others its still obviously green.
thank you.
I test again on black image with 1 pixel white border.
this is result you can see green color on left side (top in picture).

I loaded your JPG onto my Focus and the left side is green. The left side is always green, but the right side and even the top and bottom can also appear green if you hold the phone at certain angles. The green can also appear purple at extreme angles.
Is this a manufacturing flaw, or just a characteristic of AMOLED screens? Could it be some sort of back-lighting source that's located along the left edge that's causing the green tint?
I loaded the picture after downloading it and then attaching it to an email.
It does have a strange tint on the left side.
I then created my own version of the image. I started with a 480 x 800 blank image in Photoshop. I filled the entire image with black at 100% opaque.
Then I stroked the outer edge with 1 pixel of white. I repeated this using 2 pixels and then 3 pixels. As you can see, it is still visible at 3 pixels, but it is starting to turn white. I think we are seeing a consistent result that means the AMOLED screens have a slight design problem that is not considered to be worth holding back this technology from the market. I know I like the display and this is minor.
I broke my screen a few days ago and had it taken in to be replaced. A few hours after receiving it I noticed the LED was blinking, but in strange colors different than those I set in Light Flow. The normally white notification is now cyan, yellow is now green, purple is blue. Red however doesn't display at all, so it seems that the red portion of the RGB scale is not functioning. Does anybody know what during the screen repair process might be causing this to happen? I'm almost certain its not software related as prior to having it repaired the LED was working correctly. Thanks!
There's a kind of filter for the LED on the display, not all replacement parts come with it and it's pretty easy to overlook.

There does seem to be a blue hue around the notification light area when held in the light... So could it be that this filter was mistakenly left on the old screen, instead of transferred to the new part? Or is it something attached to the screen that can't be moved from one part to the other?
It wound up being a damaged LED light
Hi 2 All,
I have galaxy s4 installed offical 4.4.2, when i open setting or task manager in very dark place, i saw abnormal brightness in background.

Open a completely black image. Download a solid black JPG from google as your test. Do the same thing with a completely white image.
Look at those images in full screen mode.
If there is burn in (which CAN happen on an LED screen, though it's actually pixel fading rather than burn in) you should be able to notice it with this test.
If you see fading in the white image, or general non-uniformity in the brightness, it's a sign of fading. (burn in)
If you see a ghost image in the black image, then something is wrong. It means the screen is lighting up when it shouldn't be.
You should not be able to see a residual image on a black screen like you used to with an old CRT computer monitor. The burn is doesn't work that way. What happens is the pixels lose some of their brightness over time. It's subtle, and if the screen is fading uniformly you probably won't notice. But when 1 spot isn't fading, you notice it quickly. This is most commonly seen with the status bar. If it's always black and the area right beneath it is always colored, then the black status bar wont' fade and the rest of the screen will.
