What's up with my lCD screen? I noticed tis weird deformation on the screen with the protector REMOVED! I don't remember dropping it onto the screen or pushing it in really hard or anything. It looks like water but when I apply pressure, it doesn't spread out. Anyone?
BTW, there's no scratches, dents cracks on the screen. I always used a screen protector and I never leave it in the sun for too long.

Same thing has happened to me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796568
Newton ring effect apparently, search the forums for it.
My screen still works etc. just this has appeared on it, same as u, i haven't dropped it or anything.
O2 said they will repair it.
I'm wondering if its happened with the change in temperature here, as thats one cause apparently, but who knows...

Weird! How can I describe it to T-Mobile? I don't want them thinking I damaged the screen because they'll charge me 90 bucks for the replacement. I also have to flash the software back to stock. It's running modified software....
What I said to O2 was that there is a mark underneath the glass of the screen, which is causing a rainbow effect, and online it has been refered to as a Newton Ring.
I also did say that it wasn't dropped or anything as there is no damaged on the external of the phone.
I'm taking mine to O2 next week as I need it for my satnav this weekend!

Guys,
This is really bothering me. It's something very minimal but I like nothing but a perfect screen.
These are not scratches. They seem to be abrasions, a chemical reaction or something under the screen.
I want to return the phone for this defect (its been one weekend).
Should I exchange or just get a full refund, let me hear your feedback.
Thanks
I can't post pictures to show you guys...(xda doesnt let me)

Without pictures its a little difficult to diagnose the problem so I would suggest you either upload the pictures to tinypic.com and post the links here as text and not links or pm them to someone (like myself) who can post them for you.
That said, this sounds like an issue I was reading about a few days ago and from my memory wiping the screen with a paper towel helped. I can't remember whether it was supposed to be wet or dry but I would try wet first.
Here are the pictures for others benefit:

As I said, try wiping it down with a wet paper towel.
I had that too. Didn't seem to come off. When I received my clairevue screen protector it came with a special wipe, that magically removed the defect. I couldn't believe it.

One idea I had was that this may have been caused by the oils in my hands
I think it may be the oleophobic coating wearing off... perhaps it rubbed quite hard against something to create that pattern. Cleaning it (with an alcoholic wipe) or something will make the screen look perfect, once you get oil on the screen the pattern will come back... exchange it.
They really half-assed the oleophobic coating on this phone... screen protector is a must, which defeats the purpose of having the coating in the first place.
Is the coating that thin? I believe that you are right. It does suck because I have oily hands.
I will try and exchange it tomorrow. Maybe this is a bad apple.
Oh and dinan, the trouble with me is that I like a completely naked phone.
Me too, but I fear I have no choice with this one. My first phone I had exchanged due to some weird black banding on the screen, but it also had some "splotch" like areas where the coating had worn off, not sure how... since I don't touch those areas much and I never dropped it. The 2nd phone is perfect, but I fear it'll develop the same thing unless I protect it somehow.

Any help? This hasn't happened to my nexus s or anything else I own?
Looks like the lcd's bad. Still have warranty left?
Looks like a smurf had fun with your screen.
Send it in for warranty, you got a bad lcd.

Contact them. They'll most likely need an IMEI number or serial..
You'll be fine. Do a titanium backup or nandroid backup and send it in.

Almost but the pattern looks too much like leaking fluid for me to think that. Also, I don't think LCD screens are effected by magnets like that. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not about to start dropping magnets on this one..

Moisture....you dip it in the stool?
Did you happen to install screen protector with an included fluid? Same happen to my Inspire me when I got little too generous with the fluid on the screen. But then I left it in a spot next to my radiated heater inside a paperback for overnight and it dried off and completely went away.
Has there been any excess pressure on the screen? That's really weird. I'm curious now LOL

I think it might have been the screen cleaning apart I used.

Hello world
My dad dropped his DHD on stone floor , face down, screen now looks like WW2
Well, my question is, is it possible to replace the screen yourself or does it involve a series of special tools and fingerbreaking moves?
Thank you.
You can do it yourself look HERE It's not too hard,

Very easy if you order plastic frame/digitzer / screen all togother like this, needed about 9 screw removing and lift out the "motherboard" with all wires on
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280706651190?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This link is just a example. you will be expected to pay around £50-60.
buying glass screen only is false encomny, as you will break LCD and frame in process.
better off replace the whole thing.
Hope this help you. :good:
honestly buying the whole lcd is a better idea but not the only idea, if u have the tools and the knw how and most importantly the patience to seperate the LCD from the chassis and thn the touch screen from the digitizer thn u can replace only the glass which will cost u about 10- 20n pounds but it will have the signs of replacement but if u dont want the hassle or dnt care abt the money and want ur phone to look new as never touched thn buying the whole lcd is a better option P.S : Saying this coz i tried to change the glass ended up damaging the chassis as well as the digitiser:silly:
Ive done a few different handsets and once you've done one they are pretty easy, just take your time and dont rush
have to help my friends DHD with this
I just bought an HTC Sensation 4G off ebay, and when I got it I noticed that the volume buttons are missing. The buttons themselves still work - I pressed both with a letter opener and they're fine. I've contacted the seller about this, but is this http://www.parts4repair.com/volume-button-for-htc-sensation-sensation-xe/ the correct piece to replace what's missing? I really don't want to return it, because otherwise the phone is in great shape and works perfectly.
Yeah those look to be what you need. Cheap
The problem I'm seeing is that the seller is based in Hong Kong, and so is every ebay seller for this item.... It's going to take a long time for the part to get here.... what about this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-OEM-HTC-Sensation-4G-Door-Back-Cover-With-Power-Volume-Button-Sensation4G-/130622693934?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e69b8222e#ht_1207wt_1163? I don't really need an entire new back door but if it comes with the part and will get here faster I'll pay $7 more.
Yeah that's a way better buy. US seller with free shipping.

Thanks for the help. Also, what was HTC thinking, making the volume/power buttons part of the back cover rather than the phone itself? It's not surprising that this is a common problem; at least according to Google. It's just bad design.

Lol thanks. Sorry I'm just extremely paranoid.
I have a white galaxy s iii. around the bottom of the phone is pinkish. Both of the water sensors are intact and don't see any discoloration. What could be causing the pink around the case of the phone. I do have a Red otterbox but I never dropped it in water. Any ideas what could cause this?

How is the back cover? Cuz that looks like the dye came off of the Otterbox but that wouldn't make sense if the cover is always on. I have a blue GSIII and the insides are black so I can't really suggest much as far as cleaning it.

Idk about that man, I haven't actually returned a phone to Verizon before so that's open to interpretation. I would imagine you would be fine but the dye on the insides could be attributed as the cause of whatever issues you have in the eyes of Verizon.
