Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this in the blackstone; I can see a grid of dots all over the screen when it's turned on. Ok, you have to look closely, but it's a bit annoying. I can see the dots better when I have a white or green background. For example, going to Start -> Programs I see the dots in the space between the icons.
I know the dots are from the 'resistive' layer, the dots are the sensors of the touchscreen... but they become visible and appear as small green dots perfectly aligned. I don't see them all the time, only when I have a white background or looking with a certain angle.
Should I be concerned? Could it be a problem with my screen?
Thanks!
Sounds a bit strange to me, the only time I can see the dots/grid is in bright sunlight. Then they look like small pin points in plastic.
i've never noticed that on mine...
That is normal, those are touch sensors for the screen. They allow the screen to recognise a touch.

Agree, but I had other PDAs before and never seen the dots when the screen is turned on. I don't care about the dots being visible when I'm under a bright light; my point is that I can see the dots when the screen is turned on, no matter under what kind of light. When I have a white backround, it looks like there's dust on the screen. If I look closely, I can see the dots in green colour, as a result of the reflectied light from the screen. I know they are the touch sensors, but it seems no one else can see them--
Any idea?
Thanks!
it is indeed normal especially under bright sunlight. However if you insist that you can see them when you switvh your device on, no matter the external light conditions, there might be something wrong with the screen. Have you seen other HD phones recently? Do you see the same dots there when they're switched on?

I haven't had the chance to see another HD; I've looked at a Diamond and Cruise, the dots are NOT there. I've tried to take a picture, but seems impossible to see the points in a picture (at least for the N95's camera).
I found an old tread talking about old PDAs that had the same issue, maybe they explain the issue better: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=207321
I'm not sure if I should send the HD to the service. Anyone knows how the 'worlwide warranty' works? I sent an email using htc.com site, but they don't respond.
Thanks!
Any advice on this matter...?
I don't know about colored dots, but every pocket pc I've ever owned had the dot grid visible in sunlight, it is normal, they should be clear dots though.
Quick question:
My screen seems to have a faint blue mark on it (noticable only on a white background).
Is there anything that can be done to remove it or is it the actual screen that is damaged?
Thanks
RE: Screen
Dont believe it HD2 only a month old and screen is already pixelated white random pixels on screen any ideas on cause it o2 HD2
Post picture.
Sounds like lit pixels to me although it's unusual for a load to appear at once if that's what you're saying. As said above, a photo would help.
Hi all,
Just noticed this issue and want to see if there are any others noticed the same before or can check their HD2 for same issue.
My HD2 screen is perfect under day light or yellow light at night. with no mark-spot and very smooth.
Bu last night I noticed that under white light like fluorescent, there is a mark at the center of the screen with colours. you can see it when the screen is on or off. But on daylight or yellow light lamp, you can not see it in anyway.
Can you please check yours in white light?
Thanks.
reminder please
Could be a light case of newton ring...
I sat on my HD2 and ended up with what looked like a smudge / spot on my screen which had a kind of petrol rainbow around it...(you know when petrol mixes with water on the ground you can see a kind of rainbow effect??).
It was the "newton ring" issue, HTC replaced the screen for me via the service center...(search for "newton ring" on this forum and you can see many posts / pics I think)
What you have could be a light form of that, I guess the "smudge" (which was pretty prominent on my phone) is small on yours and you can only see the rainbow colours that appear around it...
On my phone the smudge and colors were right in the center of the screen...
Hope this helps.
Whatever
It is good to hear a reply. very clear.
Thank you.
Hello all,
After my phone got repaired 2 times for the same reason i want to know if other people experience this issue too?? It is most noticeable on black/blue screens.. Turns red/yellowish.. Now i have to send my phone for a third repair... Would it also be possible to just receive my money back?
Seems like the screen of this device is really really bad..
What turns red/yellowish? I am having my phone repaired right now cause I do see a reddish blurry dot on the screen when viewing video or black backgrounds.
Screen is on multiple spots discoloured on darker colours like black or blue. On those spots the colour is yellow/red where it should be the right colour.
I got that too, today, it weirded me out. The screen went full yellow tinted, and turning the screen off and on didn't do anything. So I restarted, but everything is fine now. But what about later ? Will it appear again ?
