lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??

I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?

LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.

i dont get it

I dropped by to recommend the same thing but its already said
I peeled mine off too once H came off. It looks better this way.

[Q] can i get this part alone: area with rear camera

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance

that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?

two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

Fixing housing cracks

Some time ago i did full housing replacement of my Arc S - my original midnight blue replaced with white one from some china store.
I found that housing replacment i bought is very poor quality (definitely replica), so in christmas i have some time to try to fix my original housing to replace it back
Attaching some photos of in-progress action, lately i will add detailed information if ill be sucessfull
Conditions:
Arc's housing is made from PC (PolyCarbonate) with 10% glass fiber - strong material, not easy glue-able.
After some small regional market research choosed this glue:
http://perfumerialavirgen.es/index.php/ceys/ceys-plasticos-dificiles-3gr-4ml.html
feels very good and strong (different league for me comparing it to cheap kyanocrylate "super" glues i used before)
What i am working with:
disassembly guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfGOCGeMiWc
Todo:
find right/close color code/paint...
ATM i found Midnight Blue color in Saab, Mazda, Toyota and VW color guide, but which one fits...

Might be able to get away with a warranty claim as it's all damaged underneath, just say you didn't drop it or anything

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.
