Well most people seem to be having problems with their screens coming out of the edge...
for some reason, since the very first day that I bought the phone, my screen is slightly sunken in pretty much all around except for the bottom right corner, where it is exactly level. I have had the phone for only a few days and after very heavy use, nothing has seemed to change. It hasn't sunk in any more...
The screen does seem very sturdy even when I apply pressure to it. I'm assuming that their is nothing wrong with the adhesive on mines, like other people are having, instead the screen just wasn't placed on properly when it was manufactured..
Is anybody else having a similar issue...or are all the screen problems pretty much only with the screen coming out of the phone....
and does this justify an exchange for me?
I mean their is just a tiny bit of light leakage, hardly noticeable, and it doesnt seem to be getting any worse...
It doesn't bother me too much. But I can exchange it without hassle id like to.
Id say yes......your missing the point. Your screen has backlight leakage meaning later not now your screen can lift off. U should adress the problem now based on symptoms to avoid further problems down the road

Hi guys
I had a weird problem with the screen of my P3600...
I was using it as a gps with tomtom in a friends car, and that moment i had it screen down and was just supporting it with my hand on my leg. I was holding it gently and had no pressure on it!
I had turned of the screen and since we were on a highway i was just waiting for the exit witch was still a bit far. Around 5-10 minutes latter i turn around the phone and to my surprise the screen had 2 horizontal cracks all the way from one side to the other... The screen is still 100% visible and there were no liquid crystals spill, but 80% of the screen has no touch sensibility.
Resons why this happened? I would assume heat, since it was connected to the car lighter, and was on my leg, and also it was arround 35ºC... But then again, it wasn't unbearably hot, only warm... If it was because of this, i believe it has to be a factory fault. The screen has to be able to sustain more heat than this.
I've send it to RMA, but I'm afraid they just deny it saying it was because of a drop. There are no marks on the phone as it never dropped on the ground!
Anyway... Can you guys point me out to some site that sells spare screens for my P3600? I want to check out the prices so i have a better idea if they decide to charge for the repair, if they are charging too much, and if it's worth doing it myself.
Thanks in advance for any help!
(Sorry about my English )
im really desapointed about it, generally screens cost pretty much, i dont suggest buying new, asumming you have never drop the pda, you have to put press on them to change the screen with the warranty, go to other service poits and ask, they have to change the screen tell them to check everything inseide the phone first ( they can see if enything else is moved ( that means there was a drop) if not, they cant refuse to change the screen)
fixing it by your self seems to be hard.. ... i dont know... try harder making them change it free of charge...
similar problem
Last week when playing a game suddenly the screen went black and a couple of large cracks appeared on the screen. sound and phone were working but no picture.
I got the pda from my company and got it replaced right away, was told it was a known problem(in my company with a couple of hundred P3600 users)
Sorry for OT but I have to say it must be a cool company...
The touchscreen on my titan is acting very problematically, with the screen slowly getting more and more inaccurate to touchscreen inputs, it's getting to the point where i have to use align screen 3+ times per day, and it's incredibly upsetting, is there any fix for this, or is it a hardware problem?
I'm not sure what it is but I too had that problem. After I flashed to DCD's 3.0.1 ROM,, the screen seems to be more stable. I still have to align screen every now and then. Do you you use your finger instead of the stylus? Sounds weird but I do that a lot and that might contribute to the problem.
Yeah, I do use my fingers on the screen a bit, with PointUI's Home, I don't see how that could cause it though o.o.
My I760 did that on two different phones. So i just got the xv6800, no problems yet except the ****ty video drivers-Or lack there of.
Okay, at this point the screen is going nuts, I'm probably going to have to send it off to sprint for a replacement at this point, as within 20 seconds of aligning the screen it's off by a good 5mm, and that number keeps rising.
Is you screen dirty? Along with using my fingers, my screen was dirty also. I just used a dry towel and clean the screen by blowing hot breath on it. Also, I bought new screen protectors. Yes it does seem odd that using my stylus and having a clean screen helped with my problem. Maybe my new ROM fixed the problem, I don't know. But its not as bad as it was before. Good luck.
Yeah, my problem was getting exponentially worse, off by about 6mm or so every time I'd align the screen, so I just returned it on my insurance plan.
Stylus vs Finger
If you are aligning your screen using the stylus and then using your finger for gestures and such the screen response is not aligned. You have to align with your finger in order to get a more accurate response because your finger covers so much more area than that tiny stylus tip.
I would alternate back and forth between the two, but to give an example of how severe the problem was getting, I would align the screen (with stylus) launch a program, and -already- the screen would respond about 4-5 millimeters down and 2-3 millimeters to the right of the stylus, which would make various tasks nigh-impossible.
I had the same issue and notice that it was mainly due to the fact that my screen was dirty as mentioned before. Sometimes you may even notice that your screen may not be dirty but remember that oils from our fingers and especially our ears when we talk can cause the alignment issues. Perhaps you can even change the screen protector and see if this helps. This should fix all of your issues assuming it is not an actual software problem. The one time that I did find the alignment to be a software issue, all I had to do to fix it was to callibrate the screen in both standard and panoramic view. I hope this helps...
Nah, it wasn't that, I tried cleaning off the screen with a microfiber cleaning cloth and everything, even removed the screen protector to see if that was causing it, it was a hardware defect.
Well I can say this.. I used to work for Sprint, Nextell, Verison, and ATT at various points. I know that with more of them, they usually send you out another device and you send your back. The think I love about ATT is that they will do this with a No Questions Asked policy except for the standard one involving abuse, water damage ect. After 3 defective devices, they will automatically upgrade you to another device.... Please make sure that the reasons are lagitimate so that this policy does not change but if you need to go through the hoops to get a better device that works.... Have at it. Do not take it to a store unless directed by the telephone people. Many people feel like they are techs because they own a ppc of some sort but they are not the ones that make the ultimate call. Let the corperate people make the decisions. Once you receive your device, immediately stress test it with all of the things that you will be doing with your device. Load and unload software, ect to make sure it works. If ther eis an issue, it ie better to notify them within the first 72 hours. I hope this helps again.
Hey,
So I noticed a problem with my phone that there's a section right accross the top of the screen that is not reponsive to touch, it's probly about a 1/4 inch or so and don't care what I do seems to solve it. I kinda noticed it from day one before I rooted and put on CyanMod ROM on it but since I never put any games as such on there before cause it would slow it down some I hardly ever had to touch that section of the screen for it to bother or stand out to me. Now I'm rooted and all and put some games on and notice it big time.
So I was wondering if there is something some of the development people here can do to fix it via software or something instead of me having to send it for repair? I called HTC about it and they said I can send it in but it would be for repair (charged) rather than warranty because I've unlocked the bootloader.
What do you more experienced people think? Maybe for some strange reason the touch screen area on my phone was enterred wrong or something so it covers a smaller area and so could just be written to cover the proper area size? Just thinking but I have no clue how that stuff works. I have no other issue with the screen like what I read others complaining about, everything else lines up fine and works fine just this... Any help appreciated!
Is the screen firmly fixed at the top? Does it click at all when you press it?
SC
Seems so, I checked all that but am nervous to try pushing any harder on it to be honest, no clicks
Edit: Even tried pressing that side of the screen outside the touch area and as close to the as possible, still no response and no clicks
The only reason I ask is that someone had an issue like that and used a hair dryer to warm it up and secure it...
Just a thought.. granted a wrong one :/
SC
Was their's unresponsive in the upper part as well or just clicking? I have hot air soldering tools for doing BGA repairs on xbox360's, PS3's and even an iPhone just Friday I repaired. If something like that would work sure have better tools for it than a hair dryer but wouldn't want to do damage anymore than what is already done to make repair costs higher.
I've noticed a defect on my screen, it looks like a watermark, as if the glass hasn't been coated correctly.
I took the phone back to the shop today and swapped it for another which has the same issue (although not so severe). It's most noticable when the screen is off in bright light.
I'm waiting for new stock to arrive Friday but in the meantime has anyone else noticed this problem?
Nope. Everything fine here. (Or at least I can't find anything )
Ah great, I was thinking it was just me.
I can see it in mine too, around the borders of the glass and especially around the windows button. It mostly shows up when there's fingerprints on the glass, you can see a distinct lighting change around the affected areas.
I'll try to get a picture of it.
Ah ok, found it.
But I don't think that this is a defect or sth.,
My guess: These areas lipophobic? Maybe there was some glue on it? Some you won't see any fingerpints on these areas. This would eplain why you can't see them when there are no fingerprints on the screen.
No big deal for me tough.
I don't think it's glue. It looks like a screen coating.
I've tried removing it with both isopropyl alcohol and thinners and neither would touch it.
I thought it was a plastic cover to peel off - but no
Me too, I thought it was a plastic cover to peel off - but no it does not peel off, i have air gaps under the edges on 3 sides - and the largest is under the htc screen logo :-(
Me too - one long finger top left and some other places bottom and side
pretty sure its some sort of glue residue - you can feel a slight change in resistance
can see it easily by blowing on glass - seems to resist condensation
looks just like screen has been given a quick wipe to clean and they've missed a couple of bits top and bottom.
tried screen wipes and opitcal wipes but no effect
Me too
Recieved mine yesterday, immediately noticed the effect. All along the bottom by the buttons, and along the the left hand side.
Looks like 2 layers didn't completely bond perhaps? The glass and whatever provides the black background.
Tim
me as well, ill upload a video of mine in half an hour, its pretty bad on mine, most of the time it isn't visible. and yeah resistance on that area is different when i rub my thumb hard over the screen it is smooth, but over those droplet like parts there is friction..im guessing that most of my screen is coated and those bits are mistakenly not.
(i thought it was the other way round before)
VIDEO OF SCREEN DEFECT-VIMEO
Same issue here - like an air bubble just beneath the surface of display. My device is slightly affected across the top edge, which is not so bad, but there is a large blob just below the windows key along the bottom edge which is a little distracting. Shame it looks like HTC shipped with such a widespread product defect, as this appears it could be.
Am also finding GPS very flaky - location services more often then not just don't work.
Still, very impressed with WP7. Think HTC could do better ... am wondering what the Samsung is like and what the Venue Pro will be like. Tempted to switch!
same issue here. seems all devices have this feature ...
ps: today in the office i checked again the screen and found out that you can find this bubbles around the screen everywhere. seems it reacts on humidity. strange ...
I've been back to the Vodafone store today as they had received new stock. Both handsets we looked at had the same issue.
The manager at the store said that HTC were going to be issuing a recall and that they were aware of the problem.
I am awaiting a call regarding an alternate replacement.
Ok for me!
same here, especially around bottom left corner, around the left arrow.
I noticed when you wipe the screen hard it disappears, but after a few touches of the screen it appears again.
I wrote to the HTC also and waiting for the reply :
same here - allaround the screen

i think everyone have this problem, specilly from vodafone. and i also have software issue, everytime after using the marketplace, and the icon of some apps were gone, and no preview of the pictures. also the apps download from marketplace not seems to be running, after long time use.....already retun the phone to vodafone, and waiting for the issue to be solved...
My screen is ok. Well, not really oké. Since they didn't put a slcd on it, but a worser screen... Luckily no bubbles. I checked it 1000s times in all kind of lights and darknesses and with and without finger prints. But no bubbles here.
Same problem !!!
I have the same Problem (Austria, A1)

Hi,
Same problem here, bottom and one in the top.
Vodafone Portugal here :-(
I bought mine 2 weeks ago. Will Vodafone give another phone?
Thank you.
Hey guys. I have this phone for almost a year now. This problem was quite a while back but now.it seems more annoying to me. When on a gray/dark gray background, such as the quick settings toggle on Lollipop. I can see TWO banding or gradients that WHITEN the place where they are. They are arranged like 1 cm from the left and right edges of the screen. I don't know why they are there.
Questions:
1. Is it because of the battery? Like if the battery got swollen, it pushed the panel. BECAUSE THE BATTERY ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH THE GRADIENTS ARE PRESENT.
2. Is it because of a faulty LCD Panel? Since this phone had no falls whatsoever, im not sure about the LCD being faulty
I think its the battery
WHY BATTERY?
1. Because the battery might push the panel from the back.
2. The phone when i bought it new had a little *creeking* when i pressed from the side of the sim tray and the bottom. But now there aint. Its like its tightely held up. Something a swollen battery might indicate.
3. The battery life had been worse over the time.
4. I use the phone quiet alot when on charge. So.. Yeah
If anyone has more knowledge about the case. Do leave a response. I will be THANKFUL TO YOU. even a little information will be appreciated and will be THUMBS UP accordingly. Thanks!
Bro i got the same problem. The LG G2 my second phone and this line suck monkeyass. Dont take it to the repair or something it gets worser and worser. LG(Netherlands) also confirmed that this is normal and its written in their specification. I told everyone that they have to buy LG phones but now i strictly say dont buy this phone. I know 3 more people with different screen problems on the G2. Sell it! And dont touch any LG phones.
aame
Ive had this problem on three of my g2's. The first wasnt that noticeable, it was on the right wdge of thw screen. i got it replaced due to permanent lines.
The second had the EXACT same problem you describes, but i noticed it right when i got the phone. It looked like something was pressing too hard on the bottom right corner. Got it replaced.
The third one had a similiar problem. But right in the middle of the screen. When i press anywhere on the screen, rippling appears in the middle of the device. Its as if im pressing in the middle of the screen to hard.
Im currently on my seventh g2, all verizon variants. These phones are GREAT phones performance wise, but they are complete sh1t in every other aspect. Ive had every problem you can with these phone. Screen problems, headphone jack problems, speaker problems, mic problems, and camera problems. Im now saving up for a oneplus one device.
