I received the phone yesterday, turned on and everything seems to be working fine until I noticed a vertical yellow line on the right of the phone, at first I thought it was something on the screen that has to be cleaned up, but no, its something inside the screen, have anybody had the same problem? what do you guys think it is? ... I dont wanna returned the phone and wait 30 days like they said to process everything :O ...
Are you talking about screen bleed or is this a physical yellow line? If you're saying it's a physical yellow line then I've never heard of that problem before so I think you probably just got a defective unit. Where did you buy the phone from? It shouldn't take 30 days to exchange your phone.

I had a similar issue with my phone. It was a vertical line on the right side. It was like a line of pixels that stood out more over different colors.
I just called customer service and they sent another phone. It took maybe 4 or 5 days for the phone to arrive.

My phone isnt broken, it still operates but my screens colors are gone... id hope there is something i can do other than a warranty exchange because i have hard spl'ed my phone and this is just a huge mess! =( please help! I didnt drop it in water or drop it at all, it was in my pocket, i took it out... and now everything looks faded and washed out =( it slowly looks like its coming back, but i dont think itll ever be the same =(
I'm no expert, take out the battery and SIM card..blow on the phone, go to McDonalds, grab a 5 piece Nugget and some BBQ sauce...eat the McNuggets and then put the battery back in along with the SIM...charge the battery to 100% and turn it on and see what happens.
Sounds like an LCD issue. Can you post a picture? Unfortunately, every white screen washout I've seen has ended with a return.
See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332236
Out of the three, two needed to be replaced. There may be some hope with removing the battery though, but the guy that had the luck left it out over a whole vacation.
It's better to return if still under warranty
I have similar problem with HTC 8125... i know you have a Tilt. my suggestion is to return it if it's under warranty. you can reverse back to the original settings. just check out other posts.
same problem
has anyone figured out how to solve this problem? i have the same issue with my htc tilt. however, the screen toggles between the "washed out" screen and the normal beautiful screen. i have dismantled the device several times using Mike's instructions, but i cant figure out which connectors are out of place please please help me out. i can't afford another screen/phone right now

ohh sucks..yeah i got my 8125 off ebay and it crapped out on me like 4months later....tried to replaced screen and nothing...
i guess your only option would be to try and get a new screen or something
Washed out screen
I got the same problem took it to AT&T and replaced it. But what worries me now is that I have changed my mobile 3 times already and this is the fourth one. Every time it was a different issue. I wonder once I run out of warranty, which happens towards the end of this year then what? I wish there is some other option of extended warranty or anything that can be taken now.
Fix the screen. Here is directions on how to accomplish that: http://www.mindsofwisemen.com/fileso/other/ReplacingTheLCDonaKaiser.pdf

water got in the LCD. You will have to replace it. If you are in the US I can send mine to you for cheap since I don't want it anymore

There's already a thread that discussed this here in the forum, you might search and find it for more details, but I believe the consensus was it's a hardware issue and to take the phone back.

This is crazy the people at bestbuy are gonna think I am retarded lol ive returned about 5 phones now 2 mt4g ****ty screen and 1 mt4g she gave me by accident that was white.Then 2 nexus's one of them had some stuff under the screen the next one had a dead black pixel around the middle of the screen.Last time I went there which was yesterday all of them like oh I remember you..... She tried to push the blacktie program saying there is unlimited exchanges on it but I dont have a credit card or I would I think.Anyways im gonna go to a different bestbuy and do it lol......
They only just appeared today, randomly when I took my phone out of my pocket. I've restarted the phone to no avail, and am panicking because I dont know where to begin..can anyone diagnose my problem?
Looks like dead pixels, but the image isn't really clear enough.
Take a screenshot with some app.
If you see that in the screenshot, then reflash your firmware & ROM or flash an RUU.
If you don't see it in the screenshot, then it's a hardware problem.
Thanks, I took a screenshot and it's not a part of it. The lines keep getting bigger and bigger!
Sounds like it needs to go for repair. Is it under warente? Best of luck to you!

I too have this issue. It was present from the moment I powered the unit on. I continued with the setup to see if I could adjust the screen or maybe an update might fix it. But sadly no dice. I'm calling Google tonight to see if they can send me another unit or repair this one.
Had the same problem earlier, when i dropped the phone accidentally.
Observation: It gets darker and grows when the phone heats up, and lighter (almost cyan blue) when the phone cools down for a significant period of time with the screen off.
i had to keep the phone near an air conditioner vent for a few hours with the phone turned off for it to disappear.
once the lines disappear completely they dont return back, unless if you drop them again (which is what i did a few days back again.. and the stupid lines are back )
If you have any other ways in which you can get it resolved pls share with us.
Cheers,
Alan
OK so the story starts about 3 weeks ago when I got my tf300 in the mail. Because I am a clumsy idiot I ended up dropping It. I checked it out but it serener fine, but about an hour later I took it outside to sit on my porch(where it happened to be humid) and the screen went crazy. My friend who also has a tf300 managed to turn on the touch indicator and we saw that the screen thouht it was getting touched when it wasnt. So long story short i emailed amazon and theywere like here is a new one no probs. Get the new one in the mail and everything is fine, however a few days later my screen went a little crazy again.not as bad as the first time but still noticeable. So i turned the touch indicator on again and it sometimes brokeout in white dots in small areas and not the whole screen like when I dropped it. Anyone's know what's wrong? I can sometimes get it to stop and clean the screen, I also put a screen protector on and that helped. And before you ask no i didnt drop it or hit it or anything like that and I know about4 other proletariat with tf300s and they don't have these problems.

Mine did that, or used to until the .30 firmware update. I'm on jb now, still no issue, but when it was doing it, I found that tapping the power button to put it to sleep, then tapping again to wake it seemed to calm that anonymous touch issue.

I had the same problem with one I bought from Best Buy - took it out of the box and turned it on, and squeezing the top bezel caused the screen to go nuts and reboot the device. I just took it back and got another - it definitely looked like a manufacturing problem to me.
Hey, I have owned my nexus 5 for over 9 months now and i have never had any problems except yesterday i noticed my screen got really blurry and bad so i restarted it and the problem stayed. So the problem is that there are white vertical lines wherever there is supposed to be any white shown on the screen. i have attached a few pics for it to be more clear. is this a defect or could it be cuz i might have dropped the phone. If i send it back to google and it isn't a defect they are going to charge me for the new phone which i cant really afford atm. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
RMA it, if factory reset doesnt work you will have to get it replaced.
