Hey guys,
So here is an interesting story, I got my desire z about year and a half ago and straight after the first charge a couple of yellow stains started showing up around the keyboard, my guess is that they were caused by the rubber padding, located under the screen part of the phone, heating up. So I went ahead and ripped the padding right off, but sure enough it was too late and the phone was stained for good. But here is a surprising part, just another day I was cleaning my phone when I noticed that the stains have just disappeared, literarily over the space of couple of hours. I mean they were there for over a year and then BAM ! Just vanished. WTF?

Well actually the other day I left my phone out in the rain and it still worked but I put it in rice to be safe. After taking it out I had these yellow stains, but they dissappeared after a day or so, it was weird and annoying though

Well, after my HD2 was dropped for the third time to the solid ground from my desk height (75cm) ... The first two times nothing happened, astonishing...
however, the third drop was stronger, and my Screen on the right up corner turned into BLACK covering the OK and Battery ICONS...
I have noticed that after three days, the Black spot was getting smaller and the battery icon started to appear...
I kept monitoring, and guess what! Now after a full week, the WHOLE Black SPOT Disappeared
i am really surprised, so i liked to share this info with you ...
Note: i am using a screen protector, maybe thats why it didn't break yet hopefully never...
well, congrats then
Same here, but mine isn't fully recovered, still has a very little "black pointing", but is almost unnoticeably.
I would go as far to suggest that the screen itself wasn't damaged, per se, but bits were pushed together and over time they have settled back to their correct positions.
which Screen protector you are using ?

I wonder what r u doing m8 that your phone dropped 3 times from your desk .
Stop dropping it - that will keep it in great condition.
Sounds like you've been REALLY lucky so quite while you're ahead!
Its normal. I threw mine out of an aeroplane into the sea. 3 weeks later I found it on my doorstep, dripping wet but otherwise working fine. (I can only assume it used my Tomtom home location to find its way back).
I obviously needed to dry it out so I threw it into a blast furnace for a few days, but it was too hot to put to my ear when it rung, so it went into a vat of liquid nitrogen to cool down.
Still working great
this is a PDA not a can opener. you'll better watch out 'coz next time luck will just sit there and laugh in your face.
Lol

hi
i have HTC HD2 and its new device , i set down on the device then i notice a black point comes on the device screen , when i visit the HTC Delare , he told me that i have to change the screen ,
but the device is working 100% and no any damage ,
what can you advice me,
attached the picture of my HTC
Happy to report that HTC is also self-repairing on the Sensation XE.
I Dropped it 2 days ago I thought it was the end of it. everything was a bit loose, the parts of the back cover went out of place (put them back in)
anyway, screen damage was noticeable, black dead pixels were scattered around the top right corner, and in the edge (where the battery and the clock) was heavily damaged and was acting like an old lcd screens, in a way that when I touched it the fluid went from one place to the other. seemed like a permanent damage.
Half a day later I Could almost tell the time, black spots were still over the larger area.
today, i'ts almost fully recovred, almost all of the black pixels are once again alive, and It's only a tiny piece of the top side of the status bar that has no display (~2 pixel high and 10pixel wide).
I dropped it 2 times a day Screen still perfekt but USB is brocken
Used my Legend in the rain today for about 2 minutes! The touchscreen is very kinda dodgy! I'm using SuperFroyo 8.4.2 and the lockscreen isn't working, and whenever i try to go to select something the notifications screen is pulled down
Using screen protector? If yes that may be your problem.

Nope no screen protector Thank god it righted itself! Its perfect now, moisture probably dried!!
Lol, I remember when I had this problem with my old Storm, it was like there was a big grey circle in the middle of the surepress screen, I freaked out because it was a new phone and all, I was hysterical when it dried.

Hehe last time i went to brazil on vacation i stopped by my sisters place in Portugal while enjoying the sun and the swimming pool in her backyard.
When i arrived in Brazil i just couldnt understand where my nokia 5140 from work had gone.
When i returned i passed tru my sis's house again for the last weekend before heading back home to the netherlands.
When i wanted to jump into the pool i noticed something on the bottom floor , I dived in and found my nokia5140! while shocked i lay it completely open in the sun to dry , phew hours later i tryed to boot it up while charging , guess what it friggin worked after lying there 2 weeks at the bottom of her pool omg. When i arrived in the netherlands it didnt take long tho to stop working completely ,maybe a week or so. But still that was somewhat amazing that it still worked after 2 weeks of water fun.

Haha before i had a Nokia N73, survived the toilet for 10 seconds!! It did need a new keyboard after 2 months tho Discovered the moisture indicator on the battery today, still white so there hopefully looks to be no permanent damage
Ok about 4 days ago i went jogging with some friends. When we were done and resting we started playing around(taking each others stuff and what not). I put my phone in my bag which had two bottles of water. One bottle wasnt closed properly and leaked in the bag. I realized and immediately took the phone out and it was wet but working and worked for the next day or two.
One morning i woke up and i was reading texts then suddenly the phone was constantly vibrating (also displaying that it was being put on vibrate on the screen)...no big deal. Battery pull and restart....only to get into the HBOOT screen constantly. I tried sliding a piece of plastic underneath the rocker..doesnt work. I gave up and put the phone in rice for a day.
I came home...hmmm seemed to be fixed.
The next two days its more of a sporatic thing. Not constant.
I put it back into rice last nite and it worked for a while again...
My question is how long would it take for water(if any) to evaporate? If water isnt the problem then what is it? Dust?
Definitely water lol and shouldn't take long. If you live anywhere remotely south, just leave it outside for awhile.

last night i was surfing some pages, when i noticed a yellow stain/spot at the right side, near to the top of my screen.
this morning when i looked at it again, i frist thought it was gone, but after some usage, it came back.
taking a closer look, i saw, that the slcd foil(?) under the glass has bend a little bit, what seems to be the reason for this yellow stain. i think it might be a heat problem, since it was gone this morning, but came back after some usage.
i also think it might have to do with using navigation, since my nexus really gets hot while using that.
anyway i will bring it to the shop, but i'd like to know if there were others experiencing this..
here two pics attached (the stain can't be seen that good on a picture).
You sure it wasn't dropped?

yeah, in all those 6 months, that i have it, i never dropped it.
I've also 2 yellow stains,on the left and the right of the lcd on my slcd i9023.I guess it has something to do with heat,because in winter when I've bought it ,it was ok,now in summer the yellow stains appeared.Next week I;ll send the phone to Vodafone service in my country,and I hope it will be exchanged.
Best Regards

That sucks. I hate dealing with hardware issues. Good luck getting it fixed.
After 1 week in service,today I've received back my Nexus S i9023 with a new slcd fitted.No more yellow staints,I hope it will remain the same a few month at least.
Cheers
hello, I am also having the same problem, the same yellow stain has appeared on my right side but i don't have the "warped" lcd as in the first photo... It is definitively a heat problem because i noticed the "stain" when i was downloading on wifi while plugged in and that part of the screen was far hotter then the rest of the screen...maybe some chip under it running hot.
The thing is i got the phone new 6 months ago from ebay so no warranty and my concern is, what guarantee do i have that after i change the screen, that the problem won't appear again? Does anybody know if there is a fix eighter for the screen now or something to prevent it from happening again to my new screen? Could it be a manufacturing problem of the screen itself?
It doesn't seem that this issue is common..Also does the spot spread?
Thanks for taking the patience to read and for any answers.
Today I noticed the exact same problem in the same part of the screen, and I also noticed the foil being bent at that part of the screen. Its perfectly visible under a certain light angle. Being on the exact same spot as your problem, I suppose that it is some chip under that part of the screen causing the problem. I think I also has to do with the fact that the screen is curved... anyway, I cannot return mine for a new one, I hope people in the local service shops will be able to provide me with a fix. Too bad that such a cool phone like the Nexus S suffers from so much problems (I also had the proximity sensor problem that caused screen to remain black sometimes when the phone rings without a way to see who is calling). I will go for one of the new nokia handsets.
Another one here with the same problem on the upper right corner...
I have the phone 8 months now and I am sure that yellow stain wasn't there from the beggining but now it's quite visible especially with white font for ex. when browsing... Also in a specific angle the foil of the screen in that place is visible too...
Same problem on the right corner on top. If its in guarantee they will fix it for free?

now after having my display fixed last october for free, since it's a known issue, i actually got a new stain after a couple of months..
but this time, it's on the left side and much bigger.. time to send it in again, warranty till next february..
I have the same issue, I am planning on getting it fixed as well. Good to know that it's a known issue and it's covered.
Same here, upper left corner...
Disappointed to read replacement parts are defective too...
exactly the same issue on right top corner, I sent my phone to warranty repair currently...
Top left corner here. Just hope i can find my warranty or else Im screwed..

Unfortunately i have just seen the same thing that's happened on our nexus s on my friends galaxy nexus.. i was planning to get one after my nexus s developed the spot but now i'm not so sure anymore..
Center left... the same problem!
upper right corner here. Noticed it in some very hot days that are passing now in my country. should I send it to warranty?
My worries, I got the phone in a promotion (huge discount) afraid that if I returned it they will give my money back and I can't get any similar phone for the same money (I really like/need this device)... in the other hand, it might get worse than it is and unusable
Are you guys running custom kernels?
Nope
Does anybody else have this problem? If I run my fingers along the edge of the screen it is flat and slightly below the bevel which is normal. When I get to the left side about a half way down, the screen bulges out a little bit and sits flush with the bevel instead of being a little recessed. I feel like it's gotten worse since i've got the Kindle, mb like the battery is pushing out the screen?
I don't know if I'm accurately describing it. For example, if I run my fingernail from the center of the screen out to the edge, the bevel catches my fingernail except for at that part where the screen is bulging outwards on the left side middle ways down.
Mine does the same thing. I think that the adhesive is malfunctioning. I'm taking mine back to Target on Friday.

I think mine has the same issue but I couldn't notice it until I tried looking for it.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I never noticed it before but if I feel for it it's there. You can see it if you sight down the left edge with one eye. Very minor but I wonder if we are all going to start experience the "fire swell" in the future
Dammit!!! Mine does it too. Wasn't a problem until I looked for it!
I noticed mine like a month ago. It has slowly been getting worse. I bought the day it was released. I wonder if this is an issue with just the first released Fires or not. For those of you that just noticed, when did you purchase your KF?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Yeah, my kindle fire faces the same error.
Mine has it too, but doesn't seem like something to worry about.
The screen doesn't get hot in that area so I don't think it will eventually break out or something. It's a manufacturing defect.
Ok so I'm not alone. I wonder if I should get an exchange, I have a lot of dust on the top left hand corner too probably getting in from the speaker.
none here, got my kf for christmas from someone who probably bought it in early-mid december from amazon.com.
