I realize one can't say for sure before opening the device up what is causing the issue. That being said...
My phone started having color banding/greenish hue a week ago. It's progressed to intermittent all blue or yellow where there's supposed to be any color (like an app frame), gets random SOD (and always after being in my pocket).
I can cause a coloration issue by squeezing case. It will go away after tapping the screen. reboots after SOD take a few tries and are painfully slow.
I started to take it apart then realized I'll probably mess it up if I don't know what I'm looking for.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this sort of short easy for a non electronics technician to isolate?
Thanks!

Most likely your LCD is dying, but could be a motherboard issue as well.
Low chances(to null) to get it repaired by yourself...
I'm guessing it's not as simple as finding a loose connector and pushing it back on?

Hey guys,
I have noticed that there is a speck of light coming out of my phone around where the soft buttons are and the HTC logo.
Is this wide spread?
Heres a picture: http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/7376/photo2ie.jpg
Any help?

Either I'm blind or it's nothing there
It looks like a stuck pixel on a screen. I circled it in red.

I don't have this speck and I wouldn't worry about it, it's hardly visible in the pic you took and there's no way you'd get a replacement for such a tiny (for want of a better word) "defect"!
I saw an evo4g had the same issue, any way i can get the screen glass replaced, its pretty irritating
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
technically its a 'defect' its not related to dead pixels its an actual defect i reckon if you kick up a fuss you could get it exchanged
the retailer would probably just resell it tho.
if it were me id be sending off emails with images ect and try and push for an exchange
Dont want to be rude:
But this is pretty silly!
Im sure you would find it an issue if you kept noticing it.

yeah i agree i bought a monitor once and it had 1 stuck yellow pixel it didnt qualify as a defect because there was only 1 but it annoyed me so much i kept complaining and kicking up a stink from where i bought it till they eventually replaced it. imo if you got it from a store go down and complain it would def annoy me
Cant really do much as im in australia and imported from the UK. Ill probably just pay to get the screen replaced. Just wanted to know if any others experienced the same issue with the
DHD.

i have the same issue
I have it not always noticeable but i know its there. Also have a bit of defect in the plastic screen at the top left corner same thing really I just get on with it. I'll probably drop it in the sink at some point and get a new one from insurance or it will get broken at some point anyway with such a big screen

I've been dealing with a phantom touch issue with my shift. Pefectly centered in on the botto of the screen where it hits the phone button in sense. Its looking like a hardware issue.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and has anybody dealt with taking a rooted phone back to sprint for service?
Thoughts?

I had a weird issue where an area (the left side of the screen 2mm strip) on the touchscreen didn't work at all. I used the one zip RUU back to stock and brought it in and they gave me a new slider (whole top portion). Just happened 2 weeks ago.
I have bad problems with that and screen protectors, especially when it's really hot and humid (like everyday here in tampa)
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
At first I thought it was the screen protector, but the problem persisted after I stopped using them. And then I thought it was a bad rom or rom install, so I tried 3 different ones with no change. So ill just update myself to the OTA GB and take it in for service.

Did the rooted update to GB and it seems to have gotten rid of the phantom touch issue. I ended up having to do a factory reset when I did it, so maybe that helped. Glad I don't have to deal with customer support now. There always seems to be a line when I go in.

Just want to say you're not alone, this happened once temporarily on my G2. It made pressing the "s" and "a" keys on the on-screen keyboard almost impossible!
litterally out of the blue about 2 days ago, the 4 capacitive buttons on the front simply do not respond to touch...
and EVERYTHING else is working fine, keyboard, display, trackpad, everything else is working w/o a problem...
the lights behind the buttons come on, but no response when pressed...
its currently running Unity 1.27 (since released)
ive tried the patch via CWM to remap the keys to no avail... i am going to try and get into titanium to run a backup of apps, then wipe and flash version 1.31 of unity hoping its a software issue...
the closest thing i found to my issue (DZ related) was an issue with the light sensor causing the backlght to act up, but that isnt whats going on here, so as of now im at a total loss...
any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...
Ok, I wiped, flashed and installed 1.31 and same thing... Crap it has to be HW related then...
Ideas?

If you are sure its hardware related, then try to unroot your phone and see if you can get a replacement from your carrier.

You need to buy them and replace them. They come as a set with microphone and vibrator attached. Very cheap on ebay. Middle plate has to be separated from glass to get to them.

only reason im leaning towards HW is because i already reflashed, and wiped the phone, and they still dont respond...
only problem is,im in FL-USA, and this came from canada... lol
buttons can be bought on ebay huh?
EDIT: would this be what im looking for?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUTTON-TRAC...232?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb6a583b8
EDIT: wouldnt i be lookking at getting a digitizer? but if that were bad wouldnt i have more areas besides jus the buttons none responsive?

Thank you-

Curiously enough, my four capacitive buttons (apps/menu/back/search) have stopped working too
I take good care of my phones
HTC CRAP ??
I'll find out...
I replaced both parts... Back to working condition

And what to parts were those? I have the same issue. The button trackpad flex cable and digitizer were bad?
thanks
Anyone else got this? Basically, when the phone screen isn't moving, such as when I'm reading some text, the screen flickers. For example, whenever I'm reading a post on xda, the white background around the text starts to flicker, and it is really noticeable in the dark while just reading posts in my rom thread, and its very distracting. (Happens when keyboard is open and closed)
Anyone else have this? Anyone know what part I should buy to replace it?

i had this a few months ago and now the phone is on low all the time cant turn up, the brightness it still flickers a bit brighter every now and then.
if you have the same as me it isnt the screen i was thinking its was the ribbon cable and couldnt find a cheap replacement based on a hunch,
now i seen more people getting this i would guess its the driver board for the screen,
not looked in to this though and dont want to folk out money on a phone i am looking to replace as soon as the driod 4 gets GSM.

I replaced my screen. And now I am experiencing problems with battery life, and in need of an RMA. My question is how closely does Google look at the device that are shipped back, will they notice that the screen was replaced? I also forgot to put back the blue tab that was connecting the battery and holding the antenna down in place. Will they take the phone apart and find out I had disasebmled it? Also there is a small gap at the bottom between the bezel and the left screw. I think its due to one of the clips not connecting correctly. I could probably fix all those things but I lost my T6 screw driver, so should I worry about any of those things?

Not sure how picky Google is, but I sent a MyTouch slide into T-Mobile with the screen replaced, they noticed. I have no idea how, I put it all back together. I also recently sent my Nexus 4 in to Asurion for a replacement, the screen went wacky and I opened it to see if it was a loose connection. They didn't notice that.
Honestly you won't know until you try.
