Dust under screen!

Hey all. Just got my desire hd today from carphone warehouse. I love this handset! Best phone I've ever had by a country mile! Only problem is its got something trapped inbetween the screen and digitizer. Looks like dust or a small shard of metal. Really disappointed. I know the desire had this problem but just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem with their hd. It's really annoying as I can't take my eyes of it when using the phone, especially when the screen is on a white background. What do you think peeps, should I return it? , after all I've got it for 2 years.

definitely take it back and get a fresh one, if they don't have any in stock I guess you'll have to be patient, but you can't accept faulty goods.

Yeah, that was my thoughts too. Just don't want to come across ocd! . Love the phone but build quality on these things should be better considering the price of them. Used a hero for the last 18 months and never had any screen issues.

Is it possible to see some pics of that dust under the glass?
Thanks!

BUMP......

Hey guys. Seems most of the posts were deleted during the "clean up". I contacted the mod to get this thread back but it appears half of it is missing. Anyway got my replacement today and It's perfect. Apart from all the known issues!

I got this issue either, and I can't keep my eyes off it!
I propably going back to the shop with it to get a new one, because I just got it a day.
But i'm afraid that they won't see it, because my mother can't see it either.
So maybe I need to ignore it, but will be hard for me

One of the biggest failures of the original Desire in my opinion was the dust that got in under the screen. For an example of the one I sent back with this problem have a look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTF0fFN5Y60
Now I would HOPE that HTC have learned from this and rectified the problem but I have just been looking at the ads on eBay and noticed this in one of the item descriptions:
"The unit i have at the moment has 1 speck of dust under the screen and i am receiving a replacement unit this week, so the one you will be buying will be brand new"
Seems with this and the experiences of users here that HTC have not resolved this problem after all. A HUGE disappointment as there is no way I could put up with this once I know the dust is there even if it's only visible in certain lighting conditions!

I got one small black dot of dust under my glass. Thought it was a dead pixel at first, but its too high for that upon examination.
May take it back since I paid a lot of money for it.

same i also have just 1 speck at the top right corner, not sure if ill bother replacing, but i do also have a dead pixel at the bottom right corner so its defintely tempting..

I have had many HTC devices over the years and a few have had problems with dust ingress. especially my topaz and c500 where very bad.
The problem was bad sealing around the volume rocker, is this the same problem? or maybe dust has been induced during manufacture of phone?

well mine had dust under the screen from straight out of the box and it wasn't anywhere near the volume rocker

presume it was swapped out without any hassle?

i had the same experience. bought a desire z and after a few weeks a lot of dust has accumulated on the top part of the scree. so i sold it and got a desire hd, im not sure if there were two speck of dusts on top of the screen but now there are. im trying to stop being an oc and fidgeting about these things but i am quite disappointed. had 5 htc phones and this is the first time i experienced this. hopefully it wont get worse.

I'm the same way. I have the smallest piece of dust you could ever see (like half of a pixel). It's actually opposite the volume buttons, and right on the edge where if it was one pixel over to the right more, it would be off the visible screen. You can't even notice it unless you have a pure white background, but I know it's there, and it annoys me. Also after three months with my DHD I just noticed when the screen is on, and I look at the black boarder around the screen (I have to sort of angle it in the light), the right side seems to be off just a bit (there is more screen boarder in between the right side of the screen and the outer black boarder than there is on the left). Like the alignment of the under screen is tilted a bit, but when I have horizontal or vertical lines on the screen, they all line up perfect, and none are cut off like what my eyes would think they would be, so it seems like an optical illusion. Just me and my OCD.

Who isn't going to RMA due to screen raise?

Who isn't going to send their nexus 7 in for exchange / repair ? I would probably have never noticed the screen issue if I wasnt reading the defect threads. I bet if you look hard enough you can find something wrong with anything. Right now the only issue is a slight raise on the left side on mine. There is no light bleed and no dead pixels or ghosting. I feel if I sent mine in and waited for however long it takes I'll get one back where the screen raise is fine and have a new issue like light bleed and dead pixels...

Lol how do people find this stuff mines is barely raised on the left side not bad enough for me to take apart and tighten the screws.
I'm not doing an exchange I love this thing and not ready to part.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I checked my screws and found that they were loose and tightened them up, screen still barely sits above but solved the creak. I have 3 more weeks to tinker with it, my Gamestop said i can return it once the next batch comes in but if this fixed it i won't exchange it.

Yeah I'm not planning on returning it either. I have seen some videos that have a MAJOR raise on the screen. Mine is just a little bit and can easily be pushed back down if I want to. Other than that the tablet is perfect and I don't want to send it back and maybe get one with more dead pixels (only noticed one but et normal viewing distance I can't see its there) or ghosting or something else.
I do recommend you keep an eye on it and make sure not doesn't get any worse. I doubt it will, however I will be exchanging it if it does.

I think everyone's expectations for a $200 dollar tablet are too high.
I am perfectly happy with mine. I have a little screen raise, but haven't noticed any creaks. I will use it until something significantly better comes out, then i'll spend another 200 to upgrade it.
Phones with comparable specs (albeit a smaller screen) are in the ~$400 range (gnex).

Mine was fine for the first 5 days, but has now started to lift. It sounds like double-sided tape coming unstuck. It's only raised about 0.5mm above the frame on the left hand side though, so I don't intend to return it unless it gets a lot worse, or it begins to affect other things (e.g. dust getting in, or digitiser playing up).
May yet return mine for ghosting, though doing a full discharge of the battery MAY have cured that issue (fingers crossed).

Why can't I get through Googles own support site to do a rma on my Google device? Wtf

Because everyone and there mother has flooded them for RMAs :/

Im thinking about sending my nexus 7 because of a yellowish tint on one of the corners when viewing pure black. But I am afraid of getting one with worse issues like the raised bezel or dead pixels.

If I only had the slight screen rise I would probably keep it, but I have a creak on the right that is loud and driving me nuts. Sadly, everything else seems perfect - hopefully my next one will be truly flawless...

I'm not. My Nexus 7 looks very well made, and in perfect shape. I've had it for 24 hours.

Is their support 24 hours? I've been busy and finally called. I've been on hold for about 10 minutes and it seems like they're open...
Yea I wasn't going to originally but after the screwdriver fix did nothing, and its basically like a creaky teeter totter on the left and right sides, I decided I should probably RMA. I love the tablet tho. I've used it A LOT since it arrived. It's amazing.

I have a very slight screen raise issue and I have requested to get a replacement, and depending on the condition of the replacement I'll either keep the new 1 or keep the old 1.

You can do that? I just figured Google would force you to ship the first one back, even if the second one was worse...

Keeping mine, no reason to return for such a silly non issue. Doesn't effect the use of the tablet at all.

Me, because both of my Nexus 7s are free of this, or any defects.

Same here. My left side of the screen sticks up a tiny bit, I'm waiting for a replacement but if the next one is worse ill just keep this one and try the washer fix or live with it. I still think it's a great tablet, especially for the price. I'll take this over an ipad costing hundreds more any day.

Nexus 7 just showed up from Google Play Aug31, left side of the screen is separating.

I hadn't even heard of this problem and didn't notice it until a couple hours after I had been playing with the device while I was searching in frustration how to get the drivers to root on Windows 8.
Good thing I never figured it out before I noticed the left side of the glass was sticking up just a tiny bit on my brand new Nexus 7. It's still stock If I want to return it. I can push down and hold the middle part of the left side of the screen for a few seconds and it seems to stay down for a few minutes but eventually keeps popping back up just slightly. I've searched and seen videos on youtube where some go to extreme measures of pulling the device apart and tightening screws or clamping it together for hours while leaving it playing HD movies until the battery dies and other methods way beyond those.
Do I I just try and put this flaw out of my mind and be grateful I didn't get a device like some other threads I've found (dead pixels, dead touch zones, brightness issues, etc.) or do I complain to Google ASAP and ask for a replacement while it's still new?
Will they send me out a new device first and then make me ship this unit back or vice versa?

I have the exact same problem, the left side is coming out a tiny bit. when using it i cant notice it, but when i look from the side i can notice it, but its only a tiny bit. im keeping mine, i have no problems whatsoever with mine (apart from that)

I notice it all the time now that I'm aware of it. After playing with the tablet all night, it's like a tick now to check if the left side is staying down or not.
I realize this is a budget device and form factor may not have been a priority but, after choosing the 16gb version, taxes and shipping, I spent over $280 on the Nexus 7. It's not a $199 tablet.
I want to try another one but maybe only if Google Play's return policy is on the same level as Amazon where they would 2nd day air you a duplicate product with a return label. So you would have a new device before you give up the old one and wait for who knows how long for it to be serviced and returned... not to mention if you are on the hook for return shipping costs.

Send it back and hope you get one from the new batch.

Ordering just a week ago I would have thought I got the latest batch. In my googling though it looks like there is a newer version than what UPS dropped off at my door on 2012-08-31.I believe the relevant info is the SSN on my box an it is C70*
If I had bought this at a brick and morder, I would take it back and exchange it today. Since I didn't and I'm at the mercy of Google and the 3rd party call centers they've hired to handle this kind of think, I'm not sure what I should do.

They email you the return label and RMA form to print out and let you order a free replacement (actually they place a $250 preauth charge on your card that should disappear after a few days)
You get 21 days to send back the defective unit, but the new one should arrive before then.

C80 has the same issue, took a C70 back yesterday pick up a new one today C80 & straight out of the box its there. I did read that by asking the back off and nipping up the screws on the LH side sorts the issue although I'm yet to try that fix.

Pop the back off, loosen the screws on the left side then hold the edge tight while you tighten the screws and it should take care of the separation.

I also ended up with a C8 with lift on the left side, new batch doesn't resolve the issue at all, still luck of the draw whether you will get one that has issues or not.

It isn't to fix screen lift, it's to fix the separation between the bezel and the edge of the screen.

Seperation/ screen lift, is the same thing. Look at the link I posted, you can see my bezel and edge of the screen separating. If it worked for you, thats awesome like I said it worked on one of mine for a little before seperating again. It isn't a permanent fix for everyone

I hate hearing that "this is a budget device so it's just something you have to deal with." We paid $200-250 for a tablet. Not $200-250 for a tablet with the left side of the screen popping up above the bezel. The lower price point doesn't disqualify us from from returning one unit to get one that isn't defective. You are well within your rights to do so if it bothers you.

I have the same problem. C80...
BUT:
I really don't think that thigthening those screws or adding the missing ones is a good choice here.
If you consider that Asus leaves those screws out of the device on purpose than there can only be one reason:
To me it looks like the display is to big for the frame it might just be 0.1mm or less.
Leaving the screws out will then avoid to add pressure on the display due to pushing it into the too small frame.
That could be the reason that not every device in a batch is bad. They just have a couple of bad positions at molding where they get too tiny frames, the others are OK.
...my 2 cents...
I will keep sending mine back until I get one without missing screws.
Edit: or the two outer screws are too close together. This would even make more sense.

I have exactly the same problem with my Nexus 7. It's an C80. Otherwise the tablet just works perfect.
Is it possible that the screen can break in the future because of that separation? Had someone recognized that the gap got bigger at the C80?
Thanks for your answers.

I'd say if you don't push it down/flex the glass you will be fine.

Yes it is and it is ot covered by the warranty if the screen cracks. Ask for replacement

[Q] little screen issues

my problem is that when i received my device i found a small bend (like if a small ball hit the screen )on the down button of the screen , it wasn't noticeable even if you move you`re finger across it , then several days a go I was working hard on the device and it got really hot and suddenly i noticed a yellow thing on the screen same place as the bends locate ,
the yellow thing will go after the screen cools down
any idea what is that yellow thing
if any one have any idea how to fix it I would appreciate that
Thank you allot
note: at the moment am not in us or any country that google play support :crying:.​

Looks like the glue that sometimes shows up on the N4/iPhone when they overheat. If it is, it isn't a huge deal

Do you want to risk waiting? Get Google to replace it asap. You paid hundreds for the device, it should be *perfect*.

Dude I have the exact thing wrong with mine. When its hot I get a really ugly yellow ring there too. Rest of the screen is fine but hasn't dissipated in two weeks.
The bad news is that either you play the play store lottery and end up with a worse device or you do the same with lg. I was going to get mine repaired, or rather have the screen replaced by lg rather than get yet another exchange but another person said that lg charged the repair cost and shipped a new phone. I don't know if the replacement is a refurb but it would make sense. The whole point for me with lg doing the warranty repair is to not get a different phone. Everything about my phone is awesome. I think we might have no choice unless you just want to keep it. I was going to but the ring drives me nuts. It is very visible in a sea of white.

it is hard to ignore the problem , the device is fantastic
but what is that yellow spot
is it glue ?
how does glue reached the middle of the screen :silly:

Well the whole screen is glued to the touchscreen. The glue is thicker in that area because of the deformation in the glass. The person or robot pushed too hard when the panel was installed or glued and thus it dried unevenly. I got an order in for yet another RMA but the situation really pisses me off. My last is faster binned, perfect speaker and battery and everything else. Hardly any rattle, etc. When the RMA replacement ships I'm still going to call the lg warranty number and see if there's an option to replace my actual screen rather than getting a replacement. I seriously doubt they will scrutinize a device, even one they have repaired through refurbishment, as much as an anal retentive owner like myself will. I'll let you know if I find anything out. Knowing my abysmal record with the play store, my next will be worse than this one.

[Q] LG G2 screen problem - yellow spots

Do you have any idea what can I do with it?

I have the same problem, I'm going to send it away, I still have warranty, I hope they'll fix it soon.
I just hate this...

I have the exact same issue in the exact same spot. I'm still under warranty, thing is I rooted my phone, went back to original room which was suppose to unroot my phone but when I go to the isis app, it says this is a rooted phone blah blah, so I'm scared I'm going to get an out of warranty fee. Tf do I do?

I read that some tablets have the same problems which are caused by the adhesive under the display. Turning on for some hours the display at full brightness can help in this situation. But I only know abaut this problem abaout new tablets. You have the problem with an few month old mobile...

Yellow Spot no garantee??
Same here,
Yellow spots in the middle after a few minutes use. The spot gets bigger after intensive use and there is a small faint yellow line going from the spot to the bottom of the phone.
Went back to the shop with it, waited 4 weeks just to learn that LG does NOT think this is a fault of theirs so no garantee!!! My vendor is contacting them to find out what exactly makes them think this a is not a production flaw.
I'm gonna try and send it back to them anyway. This time i'll say its an overheating cpu in the description.
I had nothing but trouble with this LG phone. So if you'r planning to buy one I hope you read my posts before making a decission.
I'll keep you posted

I got mine changed with a new one, after they tried to change the display and it didn't work. So, I suggest you to insist.
Good luck!

I have the exact same problem. Yellow line on the top right of the screen. Looks just like your photos. I think it got there after some of the updates, the phone started to get really warm. Could it be some kind of burn? Melted glue? Guess I will have to take it to the shop, but not looking forward having it in the shop for a couple of weeks or more. Really annoying screen problem though.

The yellow line issue has occurred on other devices. On the Surface pro it develops due to heat damaging the screen, you'll need to have yours replaced.

Yeah, will repair it later on, need it too much right now.

Hi guys, just have this yellow spots when my phone is warm while playing COC, just notice it when I opened new tab in google chrome. Then what I did is I power off the phone and fan it then power on, the yellow spots disappeared. Should I replace it? Or should throw my happiness?

Hwy guys, FYI, we've established in another forum that it's the glue from (probably) only the first batch. Since then (probably) LG has started using better glue for the screen and thus no yellow spots. When it gets warm it gets yellower, when cold, it's back to uncolored.

Would they replace my G2 if I have this problem?

Hi All,
I am planning to buy LG G2 D802 for $399 with 7days replacement option & one yr international warranty.
I saw various complains regarding screen damage after few weeks/months use.
As the warranty claim is expensive & hard for me, due to non availability of LG service center in my country.
Please suggest me, whether I buy it or not?

LG G3 yellow spots
I have a new LG G3.
I recently noticed a yellow streak parallel with the shorter power connection side of the phone, quite visible when the background color is supposed to be white. If it's a glue issue, they've not upgraded the glue to prevent the problem.
I now do believe that it's an issue when the phone gets fairly warm. After coming into a cool air conditioned office and waiting a few minutes, the streak goes away (if I'm not constantly using the phone). You'd think they'd figure out how to avoid the problem. Someone's not doing enough homework, or they just don't consider the issue that important.

Would they replace my G2 if I have this problem?

They did replace mine, I specifically stated it as an "overheating problem". Had to get back to stock before returning it, such a hassle to do so .

Did they replace the G2 only or the whole package? My charger cable is a bit damaged. :/

Just the phone, but I think that's up to your carrier.

I had a yellow spot show up far left middle of screen when the phone got real hot and now its at the top of the screen to the left. But its only there if the phone gets real hot. I also have garbage gps locking that loses signal a lot. But im affraid of rmaing and getting someone else's issues instead lol.

so there is some thing we can do?

After two months of use I suddenly discovered yellow spots on display, which can be seen in the light background.
Do you have any idea what can I do with it?
