I noticed what I thought was a defect on the screen of my Thunderbolt and nearly went back to the store and returned it in favor of a new one. The only thing that stopped me from doing so was when I noticed the exact same defect in a high resolution marketing photo. So just an FYI, the little bubble looking thing in the glass above the check mark is actually the proximity sensor. Don't go returning it ^_^
Gets very annoying, when you get off the phone.

I was wondering where that was haha, nice find.
I just noticed this today and like you I kinda flipped out for a second and thought I had some defect... than I realized what it was haha
I thought it was a defect the first time I saw it.
I read my little book that came with the phone before I noticed it so I already know knew what it was

I hope my InvisiShield doesn't screw with it! On my Evo there was a cutout for it but on the TB there isn't! I know it's a clear cover but I'm curious as to why the Evo one had a cutout to not block it?

My droid InvisiSHILED had a cutout for the light sensor but not the proximity sensor and it worked fine.

Just reaching out to the community (again, sorry) to see if dust is appearing behind the glass screen covering the camera lens on anyone else's g2x. I just noticed a spec or two that appears to not be a scratch or smudge. This phone is amazing despite this and a few reboot/lockup issues I'm had that everyone is claiming is software related... so this dust issue is really my last concern with this phone. I've seen this problem occur before on previous phones ive owned and it eventually spiraled into levels much more severe then just a spec or two. Levels that start to make some phone functions difficult to use or unusable altogether.
Again, any input would be greatly appreciated. I just want a general consensus from the community to determine if I simply have a defective model or not. Thanks.

I have lots of dust on mine but it doesnt show up when i take a picture. Guess there is nothing i can do about it. I got my phone for free so cant complain.
Have you removed the back cover and cleaned the dust from behind there?

lol it's ok
The first thing i noticed when i was putting my sim card and battery in was the lens cover. That is good design. All of my other phones have had a sealed lens cover. So if you did get dust behind there you were screwed.
still a lame design, no cover on flash so dust gets in there when most phones don't have this issue.
I had to remove cover just to clean area to get a clear photo yesterday. LAME!
Does anyone know of one? I got my digitizer replacement in just want to do some research before I crack mine open.

Well just went and did it without ever doing a digitizer replacement before now my beautiful g2x is flawless even fixed my backlight bleed 100% somehow.

Yes I was a little worried but i was REALLY careful to not tear ribbon cables or soldered wires while taking it apart and man the glue that holds the digitizer down is ridiculously strong!

Where did you buy the digitizer? I need to buy and LCD and the Digitizer but im not sure the build quality will be good.
EBay but the listing I got it from jacked the price up
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
If its the same one I saw from gadget fix on ebay its for $349 that way too much. I found the digitizer for the p990 but im not sure if it works. I know the LCD work because ive read a few ppl doing it but i havent been abe to find anyone yet saying that the digitizer works too. They should because it the same phone but i want to make sure before I do it. My biggest issue is that im stuck, I dont know if i should just wait another week and get the sensation or fix the g2x.
So i have been noticing some dust underneath my screen and its fairly new, so is anyone experiencing dust underneath their screen, and is there a way to stop it

I don't think that will fix the problem. Your replacement will most likely get the same results
It wont solve the issue. I went thru 7 G2s all with dust under the screen. Im telling you you will get use to it. HTC qc sucks ass.
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium
I was thinking about doing it until the limited warranty ends
I've heard of people complaining about this "issue" a lot now, but I've never experienced it. I've had an HTC DREAM (ADP1), HTC VISION, and now my GF has an HTC DOUBLESHOT. There has never been an issue with dust under the screen. I would suggest that it may, therefore, be related to EXPOSURE to dust. Possibly related to how you protect the phone. Do you keep your phone in a clean pouch? Or do you drop it in your pocket along with whatever other cruft you may be walking around with? Do you work in a particularly dusty environment?
In any case, the issue would be that the digitizer sits above the LCD. The only place where dust could conceivably get to that would be visible as "under the screen" is between the digitizer and the LCD. You should be able to disassemble the phone and wipe it out (after warranty expires). Until then, use warranty, and then protect the phone from dust.
I've never had issues with dust under my screen, but then again I've always kept my phones in a G1 pouch
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-Google-Phone-Pocket/dp/B001OOEQJ2
The only time I've had an issue was when I took apart my MyTouch 3G slide and touched underneath the screen and got prints all over it and put it back together without realizing it, so that was entirely my fault..
No dust for me. Have my phone on me 24/7 in an extremely dusty environment. I am a powder coater
I am usually covered head to toe, with powdercoat and metal dust. Kept loose in my pocket and I use it 3-4times an hour to check the time.

Never had any dust in mine either, but I pouch mine like RazoE and take absurdly good care of it. Used to have a G1 that I bought used and it never had any dust either.
The earpiece on this phone is kinda big; perhaps dust is making its way in from there?

Upon further inspection, it seems this might actually be the port of entry; see attached photo.
The glowing blueish area in the red rectangle is the LCD, pretty much open to whatever can make its way in, i.e. dust. There is another opening similar to this further down the track between the screen and keyboard and you can see it pretty well if the screen is lit up.

I sold my g2x after i got my sgs 2. I have since purchased and rooted a gajillion fones to see what i like and to sell.
Among this phones are htc sensation x3, hd2 x5, sgs vibrant x5, moto defy x3, g2 x5, htc radar, htc glacier
The phone that xonsistantly walks all of these devices including my sgs2 was my g2x.
What i did. Purchased a moar den fubar g2x. All that was left was the main boahrd and camera. I purchased a digitizer and screen and put this thing back to gether just to make it up to the g2x and show it i was sorry for abandonin it and shiet.
The phone is workinh and i dont have screen blled issues at all. The whites are brighter then my sgs 2 #;&%'n shiet. Internetz loahdz faster &*%#'N SHIEEET.

I've had my black HOS for about 3 weeks now and since then it had a distinctive rust odor.. I know it has to do with the micro-arc oxidation thing..but is it normal to have that kind of smell? I wouldn't call this a severe "issue" since it isn't affecting its normal functionality and aesthetics.. not even a scratch. Anyone else experiencing this?
