I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.
Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....
My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.
FML!
P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

Haha indeed.
Lol dude that's funny.
Just buy a new digitizer to replace that broken one. Then fix your wife's phone.
Then do the magical switcharoo. She won't tell the difference, lol.

There's a thread under "General" that shows you how to find out.
A rooted way and an unrooted way.
Search "bad display" in the "General" forum.
Are you rooted or unrooted?
Rooted . Ill look into it

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.
Good luck.
I got the lcd so c2 lol now I know mine is good

Awesome. But wait til you see the difference then you'll REALLY know.
I swear even with a broken digitizer on my wife's phone my phone can't even compare.
My lady would do the same exact thing.

i have the SH version, honestly i cant see anything wrong with my screen. iv compared it to other android phones and it is brighter and more defined, (evo g2, varius others) so idk maybe i need to really compare the two, btw my lady would trade with me
Yea I have the good screen and one of my family members got the phone, and I immediately noticed that they had got the bad screen. I was like...... . Seriously the difference is great

Saturation? Color? Contrast?
30 bucks... can it be any cheaper?
The screen is just seriously washed out in comparison. I don't want to use any terms incorrectly, so im just gonna keep it at that.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.
I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.
If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?
I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?
Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?

I like the color a lot more than I thought I would, but I wish I could have gotten red. Red was sold out at every T-Mobile store around me. :smileysad: Build quality is on point and the screen feels like gorilla glass, definitely harder than my G2's screen. It appears to be LCD however, and not SLCD. Doesn't look quite as sharp as my G2.

Yeah I know. I'm surprised by it though. The G2's screen definitely looks sharper and more saturated, but the myTouch's screen is brighter overall. I still like how it's made of glass though.
Yes in loving the glass feel
It was sold out? At my tmobile, I was the 2nd one to buy the phone. I got the phone an hour after they opened maybe thatz why. I got white tho

I love everything about the G2X except for this annoying issue. I would love to switch it out for another if I thought I had a good chance of getting a better model. What do you guys think? Are all G2X's just screwed with this issue or would it be possible find a better one. If anyone can show me they really dont have an issue with screen bleeding then I would exchange tomorow.
EDIT: OK so I did the replacement and man I am soooo glad I did. Its worlds better. Still a tiny bit lighter on the top but its barely even noticable at all. Not anything like the picture below. Oh god that sucked.
That's exactly how my first g2x was, I exchanged it. Now it's tolerable.
I fn love this phone.
But ill admit I have damn near zero bleed.
The screen is on. Really

Dang that's pretty bad. Think you might have a better shot at exchanging it for a better one. I have bleeding too but barely any on the bottom and slightly more on top... I can tolerate it. Guess I lucked out *whew*

exchange it asap! I have a little light leakage on my phone but it is tolerable. I miss the super amoled screens, but overall this phone is worth it.
yea exchange that for sure... I have some bleed in my upper left but it is only half as bright as your bleed on the bottom left... I am quite happy with this minimal amount of bleeding, i watch movies on the phone all the time and i really dont even notice it...

thanks for the pic. but i think a black screen with absolutely black corners (ex. bootup LG screen) would make a better comparison.
if your g2x really have no bleed, then you are 1 lucky son of a *****. I exchanged mine this morning and it's actually worse. but I kinda gave up now. the issue doesn't effect me that much anyways
to threadstarter: my phone is pretty much like the pic you posted. if you bought it in store, then go ahead and exchange it (why not). if you got it online and you have to mail it back and wait for another device to arrive, then you should really think about how much this issue will really affect you, since your second device might have the same problem and you have to wait another 1-2 week for it.,

Im not too worried about it right now using froyo but once this updates to gingerbread it will become a much bigger issue since verything is considerably darker and the top notification bar is black.
that's friggin horrible. mine has a slight bleed at the top right corner. only noticeable in a dark room with no status bar. i'm keeping it. in a year i have a plan to get most of my money back for this phone.
i debated for days over sending mine back. but saw some people claiming their replacements were worse. i didn't feel like playing the snailmail game with tmo, sending phones back and forth. if it gets any worse, i have a year to get a replacement,i would hope. if mine looked that bad, it would have immediately went back.
Yea, I would exchange that. My first one was like that and the one I have now has no bleeding at all.

LOL, I returned 3 of them until I got one with no bugs. The second time I exchanged it, the guy just told me to inspect it before I left the store. I did and there was no bleeding so I took it home. That whole day I was getting connectivity issues so I took it to a different store and returned it for another. The first one I got from a different store has worked flawless.
i exchanged 5...
still no luck

Called tmobile since this last replacements screen was way horrible the entire top of the screen was unstuck causing loads of screen bleed.
I wont be able to made little mods for the G2x anymore and was really hoping on porting the sense wallpaper to the tegra chipset but its not happening now.
They told me a replacement cannot be give for the G2x but a Sensation is a compatible match and was given to me as a "Force replacement" according to te supervisor.
I was pissed that this was done and hopefully i get the chance to buy a new G2x on craigslist

Don't you think tmo was pretty patient? I would have been pushing you towards a different product after your third "hey-guys-this-one's-messed-up-too" call...

After 3 tmobiles return policy is a new phone not a warranty replacement. Not sure if you're dealing with them on the phone but go into a store. Also don't use the screen issues as reason for return they aren't suppose to be doing any returns/exchange for that. If you have GPS/reboot /sleep of death issues they can warranty exchange 3 times if still an issue they are to give a new phone no refurbs. That's from my store manager here locally. I'm waiting on warranty replacement #2 the first one was so bad at sleep of death I shipped it back the same day and kept my original that reboots several times. At least for the majority of tbw time it comes back on.

There is now way 10 out 10 were bad. The odds against that are astronomical. I am surprised T-Mobile didn't shut you down after two or three. I think there is some user error involved here. Enjoy your Sensation.

Or just ignore it and enjoy your phone. Does it do it during normal use, or just after you pressed hard on the corners because the OP told you to?
If it moves and makes a noise every time you TOUCH your screen during normal use, I would say it's an issue. If you have to force it by pressing hard, I wouldn't worry about it. Basically did you notice it before the OP brought it up?
It's really not a big deal or even noticeable unless you actually look for an issue...plus the case covers it up...and if you are concerned about something like this, you ought to be using a case anyways, ha.
I'm the op . It was really bad on my inspire. Touching the menu button made the phone click. If they all do it I'm not going to worry about it

If its annoying you then replace it, you just run the gamble of having some other issue that people are having. I personally think because of how hard I usually am to my phones and because I don't use a case this thing is going to be creaking and making all kinds of sounds in no time so I just wont care about it now.
Its like your first brand new car HAS to be perfect and you take it back for every rattle or squeak, by the 4th or 5th you think of it more as a tool that serves a function in your life and the squeaks and rattles don't take priority.
A brand new, freshly delivered, white hox and an equally new gray hox. Neither one has banding,.light bleed or squeaky corners. My squeaky inspire was horrible. And yesterday the volume rocker decided to fall off of the inspire as well.

Can't speak for the OP, but I think some people are intentionally looking for problems with the phone. i.e. doing things that wouldn't occur during normal operation, such as pushing down on the screen edges.

I looked for it on this phone because, like dust under the screen, it seems to follow HTC around from device to device.
I'm not one to freak out over little stuff like this, but I just wanted to get the info out there in case it wasn't an isolated incident/defect on MY device.
I'm having the same issue on the bottom left corner. It started to randomly make a clicking noise and then I found this topic. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one but I would rather have a perfect phone!!
I've also noticed the small gap in the lower left allows a little bit of light out so out looks like the seal isn't perfect, hence the clicking too I guess.
I would return it to HTC but after reading other people's posts, it's likely that I could just get another bad one.
Sigh. £400 and it still has issues.
The bottom left of my HTC One X has a little give but I dont think its anything major that should be taken very seriously

i mean it doesnt take much and its like putting a lotta pressure on the screen.

Its pretty annoying because it doesn't take much at all. They shipped me my replacement almost a week ago and it still hasn't gotten here and they haven't sent me a tracking number. Kinda pissing me off, but I guess good things happen to those that wait. It better apply to this :banghead:
