Hello
My phone seems to be manifesting these bright pixels/spots on LCD as you can see in the picture.
I am suspecting it is from applying pressure on the screen but I do take care of it so I don't see why this has happened.
You can see these pixels clearly under bright/white colors/backgrounds, under dark colors you can barely see it.
I wonder if HTC will cover this under my regular warranty or will they charge me for a new screen. I had bad experience with them before and they tend to blame you at any occasion to save their costs.
quite a common problem if ya look around the forum, I sent mine back, they had it 6 weeks, then gave me a quote of nearly 200 quid to fix it....was my fault,they said it was from over heating, which I know is bull****.. their service is the worst ever sadly, so I got it back and lived with it.
I disassembled my display with the same trouble, there is a thin reflective film (aluminium coated) which have clear points, maybe corrozion caused by humidity. That points let more light to pass through LCD and looks like light spots or even lines in my case. You have to change LCD only if touch works properly.

Thanks for your advice but I am not opening my device as long as it has warranty.
The only thing I want to know is if anyone knows 100% if this is covered under warranty.
Paying 40 Euros to have someone tell me it's not covered under warranty is a waste of money for few faulty pixels.
I would only do it if it really starts to annoy me.
I am hoping it is covered under warranty and I hate to hear from HTC blaming me everytime i send a device their way.
I'm doubt this defect is covered by warranty, probabily not.
I can not tell you for definite if it will be covered under warranty or not, but read this post here it will help you better understand what is going on with your screen.

Thanks for the link. From what I read I think I have white spots on the display. Now to find out if HTC would fix it under warranty that seems to be a grey area.
I wish to hear more of people who have my problem and perhaps they can post some pics of their screens so we can compare and pinpoint what the cause of this.
If it is due to pressure, I cannot understand how this has happened as I have not used any abnormal pressure other than pressing on the touchscreen mildly for it to cause this.
On my HD2 display similar light lines and spots appeared due to tiny skratches on lightspreader film (a thin film specially designed to uniformly scatter light from backlight LEDs on the whole display surface). It's my bad, this lightspreader is made from very soft plastic and I scratched it with my fingers when took it out ;( but the screen was already pretty damaged, so it's not too big deal to me.
yep, typical white spots.
as pvii said, they are related to the polarizing foils used to disperse the backlight and redirect the light to a specific angle when passing through the tft matrix.
I've seen these things come out from nowhere (don't know why...?!?) but except these situations, most of them come via a mechanic shock, too much pressure on the screen or something stuck between these foils (dirt for example).
I'm sorry but as i said, there isn't any practical solution to this problem and i really don't recommend a lcm module disassembly.

Happened some time last night I guess, it looks like humidity between the touch screen layer and the screen. It does not affect operation of the stylus, but does leave some ghosting effect when the drawing contrast is high - like when drawing the cursor on ScummVM. Highly annoying, the PDA is still under warranty (have it for 5 months) so I hope it will be a good enough reason for replacement. I have a screen protector always on, and an aluminium case so I hardly believe this could be my fault at any level. Any opinions?
hmm
still there after removing the screen protector? :twisted:

haha, yeah. I thought about that too. It's, unfortunately, still there. The photo is with the screen protector removed.
How about trying a hairdryer on it low setting mind you it works on condensation on watches should be no different. :idea:
Tried it. Doesn't seem to affect at all the shape or anything. Didn't insisty too much so that I don't melt anything Also, when shape doesn't seem to be affected by the push of the stylus, so maybe my original estimate of it being humidity is not correct after all.
Looking at it again it looks like a pressure mark like if you push the screen to hard not sure what you can do about that but good luck with it.
Well, you might be right. I hope it is covered by warranty, it's been only a few months since I bought it How much would a new screen cost me anyway?
Think I saw one on ebay today £79 I think but dont quote me.ebay id 9707065454
I had that on my screen when I would keep the wizard in my pocket, pushing the screen. It would go away after a few hours. It doesn't seem to do it anymore though... the screen must have aged or something.
Thanks

I am pretty sure I didn't bend the phone in any way. It is always in an aluminium case that doesn't bend And it hasn't gone away yet, it's been many days now I think I am screwed. Do you guys think that the warranty will cover that?
Edit:
I definetely think it's some kind of liquid, most likely water from humidity It's pretty humid here in Edinburgh at nights. The shape seems to alter if I press near the shadow, and after some presses, the shape has changed a little bit. I might try the hair-dryer thing someone proposed a little more, crossing my fingers that I don't melt anything. I will let you guys know how it went.

Using this display can i solve SA problem? In other words is SA caused by display and/or digitizer malfunction?
I tried opening it like described in wiki pages but SA is still present.

I wish you could get a guarantee it will work. I doubt anyone here will give you such a promise. It is far more to do with the screen though than the digitizer. In some cases however when device gets hot it presses on the digitizer which then presses the screen. If you get SA problem even when cold then hopefully just replacing screen will work. Many have blamed the gasket around the edge of the bezel between screen and case. (thin black rubberized strip). Some have removed it, some replaced it etc etc., so you can see, making a promise on this would not be wise.
Still if I were in your situation I would get the screen and try!
(At first that e-bay pic looked like the wrong shape - too long. But when you look at the enlarged picture it seems to be ok.)

First try i had was replacing the gasket with pieces of a thin business card but it still has SA problems.
The screen available on eBay is the right one (a customer asked more info and seller said is compatible with Hermes).
The picture on the auction is stretched by eBay imaging system.
I'll have another try removing the above mentioned pieces of business card to see if it improve screen response.
If not I'll try gettin' another screen but I'm afraid that the problem will be present also in new screen because it's not due to a proper screen malfunctioning but to the excessive pressure...

You may well be right. Of course it's silly that the screen they use is sensitive to touches right up to its edges where the bezel touches it. What I don't know is whether newer screens have been changed to remove the sensitivity around the edge.
I have read of some folks getting the screen replaced and the issue going away, though equally I've heard some say they sent device away and it returned with problem still present.

I made some try and i noticed that SA is due to heat.
When it had been idle it function properly and very responsively but using it get hot and SA appears.
So what do you think? Is screen or Hermes case that touch screen border causing SA?

Mmm. Yes.. if it's caused by heat expansion (as it often is) then it's probably pointless to replace the screen. The screen just needs a mm of space to expand - but with the digitzer on the back of the screen there is just no space for expansion. Some people find that slackening the screws at the back of the screen casing provides enough free space to stop the problem. A lot of folks also say this did not work for them though.
I'm afraid I cannot think of a solution that will be reliable.
So far as I know there is no change in the new screen edge sensitivity but I could be wrong. Post from folks with new screens would be welcome.

The popular view is that the heat causes expansion putting pressure on the screen. 1mm is perhaps a slight exageration perhaps only a fraction of 1mm. That's why running a business card around under the bezel works for some - it creates a small gap so no pressure is put on the screen. This is all a bit debateable though because others have found that firming up the screen with a thicker gasket between bezel and screen has worked for them. This appears to contradict the idea that free space is needed!!

I've heard of this problem happening on other devices (see here, here, here, and although not what mine looks like, here), but I was wondering what I can do about this problem. This is called Newton's Rings, I believe, and there's a nice wikipedia article about it. Apparently it's a problem under the screen.
It's an oily smudge. It appears to be made up of asymmetric rainbow-colored rings and is apparently under the screen. It is only visible in indoor lighting in certain angles, and is less visible when the screen is on. When pressure is applied around this spot, it appears to shift slightly. It's been present for over a week on my device without much change.
The HD2 has a capacitive screen, so the method to correct these spots (the "duct tape method") is said not to work. How can I fix this problem? I'm pretty sure I didn't cause it since I was careful with my device--it could have been there (most likely) from the time of purchase.
Should I ask for an exchange at my local T mobile store? Should I try duct tape or a vacuum cleaner to suck the screen forward, or should I try to open the device up and detach the screen, or should I beg for a return?
Help!
PS: You might want to check your HD2's as well...
*deleted*
*deleted*
I think you would have to have a resistive screen to even have this problem. A capacitive screen doesn't have these "layers." And, it requires a curvature to induce the inference rings which a hard glass screen with no layers doesn't have.
I followed a couple of them threads some time ago, and if I remember correctly some users which had this problem you're postin' about have had their hd2 replaced by htc cause it should fall under warranty terms. Return it to your local t-mo store and ask for a replacement. Should they deny that, try calling htc customer care and see if you can send it in to corporate for repair/exchange. I'd recommend that you try official ways first before attempting to disassemble it or to fix it by yourself as you may end up voiding your warranty..
Since you have a US T-Mobile HD2, and it has been less than 14 days and within the return period, you should be able to get it replaced at the store.
This is obviously a problem with the screen and you shouldnt try to fix it in any way. If you have installed or modded it in any way then return it to stock condition and take it back to your store. They are obliged to give you a replacement as it is a faulty unit. do not accept anything less.
Mark.
First of all, why in the hell would you buy such a device with incredible screen real-estate... and NOT place a screen protector on it?
My screen hasn't even been touched by human hands. Let me guess, the next thing you're going to tell us is your device has a scratch on the battery cover...
Having a case on the device would have prevented such an incident from occurring in the first place. Problem solved.
Take better care of your investments folks...

I seem to be confused about why you need a screen protector when the screen is glass? I was under the impression that glass screens won't scratch. I can't see how a screen protector would protect a glass screen from pressure, so what's the point?

Alright, well... I'm not even going to dignify myself a response to your first question... for obvious reasons.
As for pressure... what PRESSURE could you possibly be applying to your device that is apparently going to render the screen useless? It's a ****ING Pocket PC, don't mistreat it. Protect your investments... it's common sense.
Seriously though, your first question... RETHINK exactly what it was that you had asked me... and then I'm pretty sure you'll realize the stupidity.

I don't get the attitude, I simply asked you, or anyone else who seems to think they need a screen protector on a glass screen; why they feel that way. As far as I know, it's like next to impossible to scratch it, (unless you carry loose diamonds in your pocket) and the pressure comment was me trying to understand why you feel the need to get a protector. With all that said, I wasn't knocking you wanting one (somebody's got to buy them) I was simply trying to see if I was misinformed about the durability of glass screens.
Heh, my bling-bling may scratch my phone screen That's how you can tell they are real diamonds . Though, you make a good point, glass screen shouldn't scratch, and if anything, a crappy thicker screen protector may hinder the conductivity of your fingers? Just my guess. On a side note, had my ipod touch in the same pocket as my keys once (hate the thing, but it was free) The back got scratched to hell, but the screen was nice and unscathed.

Alright. Well, my apologies for the "disrespect".
I'm merely saying that a screen sleeve, protector, or WHATEVER is how someone could go about preventing the oil corrosion that occurs from natural skin oils on the screen.
This isn't oil corrosion. No disrespect from me either, but this unit actually had a screen protector. And a case. So thanks, but no thanks.

I had exactly the same situation with my old Hermes (going back quite a few years). I got it through the post from Tmobile and was playing happily with it for about half an hour until I noticed an oily patch exactly as you describe. Rang up Customer Support and they asked me if I had sat on the phone or knocked it in any way.. And this was after having the phone in my possession for 30 minutes HAHA in the end they told me to take the phone to the nearest store to confirm the problem and I got a straight replacement.
I think its caused by a leak in the LCD. You can try, as sugested on other threads to get some tape and try to pull the glass away from the liquid but this would only really be worth trying if your phone was out of manufacturers warranty. Since you have not had your phone long at all you are entitled to a direct replacement under the Sale of Goods Act.
Going back to earlier posts, too much pressure could cause this sort of problem but as stated with a good quality glass which the HD2 has this is very unlikely unless you had an elephant sit on it
More likely the LCD is defective and if the oily patch is noticeble to you then the seller has no other recourse. If I was you I would deal with this matter as soon as possible though so that you get a stisfactory result.

Hey guys.
looking at your device, you have the same problem i have on my HTC TOUCH HD, mine had a small point in the middle, and after a few months it become bigger and now my screen wont work properly.
it means when i perss lets say "START" button, it reacts at the X button in the right of the screen.
adter looking over the net and reading about it, i can see a lot of devices from HTC has this problem, guess its a bad building quality who knows.
maybe it got hit a few times at the screen, maybe pressure who knows.
the thing is, CHANGE THE DEVICE before your screen wont react anymore, mine is Resistive screen. so i took a small niddle and lifted the screen from the left (the volume side) and squeezd it a bit, it went out, but a bit more came back after, that means something or some fluid is between tha screen, the Gap maybe i dont know.
ive also tried with a DUCT TAPE - worked for a few minutes than it came back again, but even when the oily part was gone the screen still was reacting not as before.
also there is a bad sound from the place you have the oily part under it' like if you press it with the Stylus or just your finger.
BE CAREFUL with thos devices!
Also ive heard something about PRESSURE differents between cities / countries and simillar can cause the screen defect.
for example - i live NOW in Eilat, its in Israel, and its a very very low place, i go home once a month, to a higher place (300M above), and it happaned since i moved here. it can be one more of the reasons to cause this defect.
well, my device is ruind, it can barely work now sometimes, if i press the screen from all of the sides or lifting it up with a niddle!
and that sucks!
BTW USE YOUR WARRENTY.
dont let HTC run away from their defaults and defects with thos devices, why do we have to pay on their mistakes of not making a good resistance materials for thos devices...its stupid.
specialy when it happanes to a lot of people with the same Devices!
i dont see any APPLE users having thos peoblems with IPOD / IPHONE!

All touchscreens suffer from defects (yes even ipdods and iphones lol). The trick is to send it back the moment you spot it and not sit on it and wait, hoping it will go away. It wont. You can use the tape method to pull the screen away from the bleed but the liquid will still be there and sooner or later it will just come back.
I noticed a bleed on my OLD hermes the day I got it from brand new, rang up the shop (tmobile uk) and they tried to tell me that I must have sat on it or dropped it. Everyone who purchases a device has a right that it will work for a 'reasonable' amount of time without defects appearing so you have to push your rights and get it changed (not fixed) for a new device.
If your device is out of warranty and you have a bleed on the screen the only thing you can really do is change the screen. These can be found on ebay and not that hard to do. For your Touch HD you can get one *HERE* but you have to weigh up whether its cheaper to just buy a new device or fix the one you have.
And I dont really think atmospheric pressure between different places would have any affect as lcd screens are built to work pretty much anywhere and if that was the case every time someone got on a plane their device would go capput.
Mark.
i know! that sounds not reasonable, but i looked at someone's Thread about that he went out of a plane and he noticed a huge spot in the middle of the screen, and few days later after going back on the flight it was gone.
that thing is very strange.

As you can see my display was broken though it was fall from my pocket and drop distance was only 5-6inch.Only using it 5days.Isn't it pass the 14 different kind of durability test?Now which one should i buy

Or
http://m.ebay.com/itm/252952351101?_mwBanner=1
Will it void my water resistant capabilitie?
& will i view the original color from my display or it will destroy my color experience?
Please help me
I think you will void water resist protection, because the phone is sealed with glue stripes around the corners. Here (Chile) LG offers a program called LG Care and they change the screen for free in the three first months, there's no option to contact LG?
btw you are looking for digitizer, not the entire screen, so i don't think that you will see difference in colors
I think you'll need to change the whole screen (118$ option).
Most, if not all, screens are like this nowadays. You can't separate the screen glass from the actual screen (or it is almost impossible to do so without breaking the screen) so you're only left with the expensive option which, in your case, means changing the whole screen.
I've read a few times now that repair shops in US charge around 150 bucks for LG G6's screen repair and the phone probably keeps water resistance since it's repaired professionally.
If i was you i'd ask around and then decide. If it really is "only" 150 bucks then it's probably a better option than buying a 120 dollar screen and changing it yourself (which can be tricky and you might break something else in the process + i'm pretty sure waterresistance will be gone that way).

I think you will void water resist protection, because the phone is sealed with glue stripes around the corners. Here (Chile) LG offers a program called LG Care and they change the screen for free in the three first months, there's no option to contact LG?
btw you are looking for digitizer, not the entire screen, so i don't think that you will see difference in colors

The cheap part is front screen glass which is a mistery to me.
In every LG G6 screen repair tutorial or disassembly video i've seen everyone always changes the whole screen so... Idk.
I might be wrong but i really haven't come across any videos or tutorials that show how to separate screen glass from the screen itself for repair.
Any update!
Not any help for the OP, just informative :
The digitizer (which detects touches) is air tight glued to the screen (which gives the content).
Reason: much more immersive experience. That is why the screen seems so close to the surface. If it is seperated, the screen will sit deeper in the phone and will give a depth difference in what you touch to what you see.
Disadvantages : screen replacement can only be done when buying a pre-glued screen. You cannot glue not yourself.
If the screen gets too hot, the glue burns leaving a locally brown circular spot on your screen (common on older phones)

So you suggetest i should buy the expensive one?
If i use glass protector in top of that broken glass will it stop not to damage or enlarge the screen crack more?

I'm very certain that you won't be able to buy the parts seperate. The screen will always come with the digitizer pre-glued. I think the price difference is rather in it being an original screen or a third party screen.

Probably. Car glass replacer often use stickers to put on cracks to prevent further cracking while your window is on order. So one can conclude it works the same on smartphones. I would certainly give it a try, they're cheap.

imgur.com/wBnGYQi [/IMG]hi guys. the problem is the white clouds on the lcd screen.no water damaged.this is the second lcd screen.i swaped the old one with same problem.any idea how to fix it?
I have this too. If like a bleeding in the screen and it is a hardware problem and cannot be fixed. You will need to replace the panel.
Link for others since OP doesn't have enough posts: http://imgur.com/wBnGYQi
It's a bad screen, it has been "compressed" beyond it's tolerances (meaning, it has been smashed or hit by something) and the LCD/digitizer assembly needs to be replaced if you can't live with it.

Didn't know it was from compression. I just think it was a factory defect. You think that maybe it struggles in the pocket or something like that?

If you're sitting on it or have something pushing against it like arm rests on chairs, then yes.
