My phone was ok 10 minutes ago and now it's screwed up.
Took a photo, see the weird black lines/hashes/dots?
Dude!! What you did to your screen?? Its look like being press by something ;P

No idea. Didn't do anything.
Downloaded some dead pixel apps, if I set the screen to black, I can still see it, its weird.
If that's the case i'd be contacting htc or tmobile and getting a replacement.. Did it just start doing this or when you got it?
Yeah this just happened today. Was fine this morning, have this phone since August.
No idea how it happened. I didn't bang it or anything.
I sent HTC an email since you can attach a photo to the support ticket, easier that way than trying to explain them what it looks like.

Hope it works out for you bud... My sd card was defect and htc had me a new one in three days... Didn't cost me anything.. I actually like HTC's customer serivce and i hope it's the same for you too. =)
it seems to be wet on the inside. some leaks inside? hehe. like radiator leaks or something?
Hello there! I have the exact problem here. I didn't do anything with my screen and somehow i still got thoes enoying dots! wtf is it? should i contact hTc for a replacement? anyhow i want to know what it is!
Thanks for helping me out br0s!
This is how it looks. Attached BELOW
As you can see some of them are black and some of them are like cyan blue. the blue pixles has been black but after awhile they changed colour. This is only like 10% of the pixels that I had before, after the gone blue they dissapear. strange....

Yeah, call HTC, they replaced my screen, I could tell cuz the bottom part of the phone wasn't closed all the way, I also got a different screen. I had the Acer screen and was replaced with the other one that's better.
Hey RizZern, just came across this thread and wanted to know if you managed to fix your screen issue.
I am facing the same issue , but i know that it appeared when i dropped my device accidentally.
I have observed that when the phone temperature goes up, the pixels become darker and then turn cyan when it cools.
Cheers,
Alan

Who got the same problem? I already swapped 3 times for a new HTC Desire S in the store. Today I got the 4th one. But still the same annoying problem. I can see that the screen doesn't perfectly fit on the unibody. I can also see the backlight shine through the border of the screen (at 3 spots) - so called light leak. The seller said that it's because of the unibody and the screen is pasted above the body (he suggested another phone because all the unibodies will have the same problem, but I like to stick with the Desire S).
I think I have to live with it, because all the 4 phones got the same fault.
Maybe you all should check the screen closely (the whole border).
If someone knows a solution, please let me know. I will wait a little bit, maybe I will put a bit of kit in the gaps...
Greetings,

I got the grey version. Maybe a bad shipment to the Netherlands. I have read on a german forum, that people have the same problem...

I have the black version, had the grey one and there had the issue with the screen... i think the grey ones are made bad
Yeah could be. I also wanted the black version, but it wasn't available in the shops I went. I will ask if they can order a black one. I have 30 days return policy.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I have the black version and it has a small gap on the top of the screen...
So it has nothing to do with the color lol.
Nothing too obvious though....
my gray DS is okay, only little problem is with back cover...
xD well, so there are some good and some bad no matter color
I have sent an e-mail to HTC with the so called light leaked problem. I'm curious what the respond will be.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I've a black one and it has minimal gaps, such that I can see a tiny orange LED light leakage from the top of the screen edge and at the bottom right hand side I can see slight light leakage from the hard button backlights.
But these are only visible in a dark room after careful angling and rotating of the device...So ultimately, doesn't effect the operation of the phone, so doesn't bother me.
Black one here and never noticed anything wrong with the screen fit/build.
Is it just an aesthetic problem or does this cause issues with the phone operation?

Looking at it, I kinda see what you mean, but it doesn't bother me all that much. A thin black edge around the actual display on all sides, and if you tilt the phone you can sometimes see the light escaping from the soft buttons' backlights.
Doesn't bother me at all thankfully.
My girlfriend's wildfire S's screen mismatch however... that winds me up just being in the same ROOM as the damn thing.

Got a reply today. It is in dutch, but in short:
"HTC is not familiar with the issue. You got to send the phone for repair and then we will look at it".
I also put links of xda forum, android hilfe and google (search: light leak htc) in my message. But HTC pretends that they know nothing. It's ashame. No more HTC for me. The 4th HTC Desire S with problems is not right. It's not a low budget phone...

hi,
i have the same problem here.
it's my third htc desire s, all of them with thsoe gaps..even srrounding the capacitive keys
I hate it
i dont know if im going to change again for a desire s or to change brand
Mine is black, my wife's is blue... both of them have perfectly fitted screens! Sounds like the store you're buying from is trying to shift dodgy stock!

This unfortunately is a common problem but not that severe, it effects devices sold in many countries, although after your experience with that one shop I'd follow advice given and would try an alternative shop or try to possibly buy online.

I did this, got it back after 10 days. They hadn't done squat, it still leaks exactly the same as before.
And for the record, it's a black one.
I've had 3 Desire S's, all black. One of them was fine, the other has a slight leak. My current one is a little worse. Also noticed that the screen isn't aligned properly. Sending it back to the seller for a replacement soon. I think it's just a hit or miss thing.
Hi. So I suddenly noticed that there's this one white dot that is visible only on black background on the top most part of my screen. I just got this phone yesterday, brand new.
I think it is tolerable. Because it's just 1 white dot I would rarely see.
The question is, if this is a dead or stuck pixel ?
If yes, will it spread ? Is it really tolerable ?
Thanks in advanced for the answers ...
I found one the same day I got mine thought I could live with it but once I noticed it, it bugged the hell out of me. I took it back to T-Mobile and traded for a new one.

thank you very much. thats what i needed to hear / read. i will have mine replaced today!
It's your best bet cause it will bug you
You need 3 for it to be a fault with most makers. Is it white on different screens? I've one on one app and came to the conclusion that it is the program

My g flex 2 has a yellowish stain on the lower left corner...the blind people at sprint shut me down for a replacement because they claimed they couldn't see it. I've asked at least 7 other people for a second opinion and they could all see it. What is it, and what should I say to the assholes at sprint the next time I come in?

I fix phones, sometimes when we get yellow spots on screens after being replaced say like on iPhone devices it mainly is because something is putting pressure on the screen somewhere, most of the time it is something near the lcd flex cable where it connects to the motherboard. Like with iPhone 5 you have a metal shield covering the connectors and if you tighten the screws too much then you get yellow spots on the screen somewhere. Ultimately I'd tell them to check for that, to check that nothing inside is too tight near the connector if the lcd. Would be great if you can post a photo of your screen.
Install Dead Pixel Detect and Fix from Play Store, select the grey color from the options and dim the brightness of your phone.
It's much more visible that way and then go back to where you purchased your phone and show them.
When grey you see lots of uneven spots on your screen.
I have the same problem with mine and it's clearly visible.
Don't let them take you for an idiot (because I am sure they DID see it) and force them to replace your phone. Open the new one in front of them and check if it's ok.
If not ask for another phone.
I got my second one and this display got the same problem. Like already said, its good visible on a grey Background.
I let it change again and when the third one have the same Problem, i will get the HTC M9

Trust me. You guys aren't the only ones with this very infuriating defect. Got this defect on my new phone (not an LG) and I've got yellow piss stains all over the white screen. ****ing nightmare.
Hey I got mine replaced and the new one has no problem anymore. No yellow spots.
Nice to hear.
Two LG G Flex 2 had already a yellow spot on Display and I hope that the third one arrives without that issue.
Is there any chance they ever go away? Is it the glue?
Is there any way to make the yellow spots go away? Im just curious

If it is the glue yes. There are some ways to accelerate the procedure but i dont approve
for example uv light or under the sun.
JFYI
I've seen so many of these threads & just want to chime in that I have a Sprint version ordered about a day after release & it has no color issues @ all.
It has been dropped, sat out in the sun & flexed.
I even installed the app to test, no color issues.
The OTA update is failing of course since I rooted it.
Anyway, point is, there are good ones out there.
Good luck everyone.

hey man.. i just got an exchange because my previous one had two really distinct yellow spots at the top.. but the new one seems to have it spread out across the display and only noticeable on grey backgrounds.. wondering if yours eventually went away or is it still a persistent annoyance.. thanks!
Hey guys,
I just got my brand new HTC One A9! The design is absolutely stunning.
However, after turning on the device, I observed strange artifacts on the display. Somehow they look like burn in artifacts. To show you what I'm talking about I added an attachment that shows a plain white screen (from a display test app).
Has anyone observed something like this so far?
Thanks and best regards
Christian
Nope, looks like a burned in, if it came out of the box, take it back to your service provider, or contact HTC if you bought it from them, if you got it like this, it's a manufacturing problem and they should replace it without question. If you would not like to do that then just get a screen replacement.
Yea well, it came out of a sealed box like this. I just wondered if it is a temporary problem that will go away in time.
Nevertheless, now I will return it and order a replacement.
Thanks for your opinion!

Yeah no problem, anytime man
Looks like the phone was ON all this time in the box because it takes hours for a screen to get burnins
Edit: The screen is either re-used or you have let your Dot View case slightly open for hours, the big clock and temp are from Dot View
My wife's S8 plus just went bad overnite. Half of the screen is black the rest of the screen is in blue colours. Needless to say she didn't drop the phone or anything like that.

My wife has the phone. She will go to a sprint store to see if she can swap it for a brand new one. Ill let you know what happens later on today.
:crying:
Here you go.
My wife had to go to a repair center where they looked at the phone and the manager was cool enough to add the necessary notes on the account so she could call Sprint and order a replacement phone.
At the store they couldn't figure out what is wrong with it.
One more pic.
Wow. Hope they send a new one quick

WTF?! How the hell does that happen?! That's just crazy, especially since your wife didn't drop it. I've never seen that happen, without any physical damage done to it...
Yep. Crazy. At 6.30 am i was calling sprint to activate her old note 4..lol..
Same thing has happened to my S8+ I've been using it for a month was sitting and using whatsapp and then my screen started looking exactly like your screenshot. I'm going to claim warranty tomorrow.
Did you ever find out what happened to it?
Hi all the same thing has happened to my sons phone how do you fix it please?
