Hello,
I have a problem with my screen. It is there since I can remember, but with the grayish interface it is really starting to get annoying. I'm wondering if anyone has had the same. It is just a white "dot" with a longer, lighter stripe. Mostly visible on gray backgrounds, but also on black/other dark colors.
Some pictures:

Any idea's what it is?

You might want to show it to the service center, they might get your screen replaced.

That is the problem. In Holland we do not have service centers. If I want to have it fixed I will have to send it to HTC.
Someone has at least an idea what it is or how to describe it to HTC?
Thanks.
attach pics

hi, i think if u write them a mail and attach those pics there will be no need for in-depth description. just tell them since when u have that and how it started to appear.

I sure that that isn't a defect screen, if it was then it should be all black, and not have the statusbar shown. I was thinking, maybe if you got try to hook it up to your TV, with an HDMI, and see if it works that way.
But it could be the a bad download of the rom.

Thanks but your missing the point slightly. The screen works fine, but on darker backgrounds there is a white spot with a stripe in the middle as can be seen clearly I think.

Oh, my bad Then yeah it looks like a defect to me. You should send it back
Good luck.
Did you find out what was the problem with your screen? My Sensation has developed the exact same thing, right there in the middle of the screen.
I am deciding wether I can live with it or if I should try my luck with a replacement from T-Mobile (a refurb). If it's something that could get worse (my guess is yes) then it's going back for sure.

Hello all, i have myself an 02 XDA Exec, but during the light of a soft reset
the screen is now working with fault
it looks like there is some sort of high contrast or the in could be bleading on the inside, but the touch feature works, will display pictures
Notice how the screen has different shades, but also patches in the corners of the screen, as ive mentioned the touch sensetivity works fine but the screen looks to be a bit pixelated and and in a different sort of contrast (i am currently reading up on the dis-assembly of it so if its something internal please say something about it)
and no i havnt banged it, smashed it, tried beating it up etc, i honestly dont know whats happened to it.

this is my today screen after a hard reset, basic windows mobile default, look at the different tones of colouring, the sort of slashes across the screen and the shades in the corner of the screen, and im not sure why, although i dont think it really can be ink bleading as when the phone is turned off the screen is as it should be, just off.
Now i will try out the camera on both sides, from the phone and from my camera
Camera's Side
Notice how the screen is in a sort of negative/contrasted style, not one im enjoying thats for sure, but coming from the phone the results are different
Exec Camera
notice how the camera still processes the image properly
which leads me to believe something is wrong with the screen
maybe some part of the frame is being pressed against it or something like that
i will be monitoring this thread closely and please help
With Many Thanks

Does it have this pink tint in reality too? (not only on the shots?)
If it does (and a hard reset doesn't help), then, one of the color transfer wires may be dead or have "only" developed a contact error (or, plainly, they have just been removed from their socket. This happened a lot with other models.)
That is, I'm pretty much sure it's a cheaply fixable problem. Try disassembling your casing and try to rearrange the wires.
pink/purple tint, but the screen apears in perfect shape
any guides on getting into the screen,
thanks very much.

there are several; see the "smashed my Universal screen" threads; some of them link in the official HTC disassembling guides
A few weeks ago my Sensation screen turned to colorful pixel snow. After opening the sense lock ring and flipping the main screen for a few times it became ok. A week later it went back to the snowy screen permanently.
I went to recovery and re installed the Rom (revolution 6.80) and the problem was solved. A week later I got the snowy screen back, but now the snow appears the very first moment the device is powered on.
Due to the face I had airdroid on the device I managed to connect it to the computer and see the mobile screen on the computer and it looked as if everything is ok, I could see the sense and all the screens and operate all the applications by looking at the computer and touching the snowy screen.
I bought a new screen and connected it instead the original and I still got snow....so I know it's not a screen problem.
I do not have warranty on the device and local labs will charge half the price of the device for fixing it, so I prefer to find out what's the problem and but the parts myself and replace them.
Anyone has any experience with such a problem and fixing it?
Thanks a lot
Try using a blower, those that people use to blow off dust, blow off every spec of dust you can see on your device, clean the connectors of the screen too.
Then, try installing a rom which is not ARHD, and test it out. If all these doesnt work, it might be your GPU hardware is faulty.
I already cleaned all the connection and checked that everything is connected correctly but it didn't help.
Do you know where the gpu seats? maybe if I knew what it looks like i could check problems around it or replace it.
No one knows how to solve the snow problem? :crying:
That's it? the device is dead? I used it only for one year...
Can you take a photo of it and post it?
Then we know exactly what you're talking about

wow... I've never seen anything like that before. Hopefully someone else can help
maybe the connector of the lcd panel is disconnected a little bit.
I bought from Ebay defective Sensation, it has exactly the same problem.
Did you find what you HTC was wrong?

I'm also having the same snow problem on my HTC Amaze, for the above i assume there's no fix to this as i was about to purchase a new screen.
This phone is a complete lemon so perhaps it's a blessing
Seen that 2 days ago at a friends phone. No solution oder fix for that?
Hello everyone,
just a few minutes ago the colors of my asus tablet changed to totaly distortet colors. There is also some flickering. Pictures:
maelger dot net /kram/sonstiges/1.jpg
maelger dot net /kram/sonstiges/2.jpg
(Links sliced because of board rule..)
What went wrong? Display broken? Incorrect display connection to board? Virus?
I'm looking forward to any suggestion.
Regards,
Sel
Try factory resetting your tab incase that doesn't work bring it to service center because that looks pretty bad!
Factory reset didn't changed anything. Colors are still distortet.
Thank you for your prompt reply anyways.

Only thing like that is the update display in dev settings but since factory reset didnt work its probably a broken display.

I can't tell 'cause I couldn't get to the pictures. But it happened to me once. First, the cable connector at the LCD end came loose; closer inspection, the connector end was damaged. Don't panic.
I just left the tablet as is, after factory reset. Everything ist working with correct colors again.
Unfortunately I still cannot say what causes this issues.

Thanks for the pics. Mine had the Asus logo at the initial screen turn blue, then everything else with distorted and smeared colors at the edge of all icons.

As said above:
1. Cable connector damaged;
2. Improperly seated connector.
Hey guys
Any of you with the s8 or s8+ can you help
Type into Google the word red or purple, click on images and tell me if anything happens
When I do this, half my screen turns purple or for red I just get tons of weird lines, the same when reading black text on white background
The issue disappears once I get past half brightness
Do I have a faulty LCD??

Here you can see the black lines under the text
http://oi66.tinypic.com/2lu3mlw.jpg
This one you can see there are 3 black lines that go down the screen. But the camera picks it up best on the green nav bar
That seems like a bad screen. Try a factory reset and see if it goes away. If it does then it's somethiing you have installed causing the problem. If it is still there then it is a faulty screen.

Mine does NOT do that. I am using auto brightness. Sounds like something messed up with the display. Sry
Mine is on auto brightness as well and it DOES NOT do that. Sorry, but that shouldn't be normal.
My phone doesn't do this. Looks like a bad screen to me.
no nothing at all
Cannot replicate, faulty display. Get a replacement.
Mine doesn't do that either it's deffienetly a faulty screen you have but I would do a factory reset first.
Absolutely faulty display, advise change it as soon as possible.
Mine does NOT do this either. Swap it out.
hi guys
i want to share my experience bug. there is 2 kind of green display, one of is someone already post on xda seems display defect. but what i got is bug i think.
you can see from my picture green bar on the top will appear in some condition only and it will disappear in home screen only when you using another Launcher. but in another Launcher it will only show up in recently app menu (different location). so far i can say if you meet same with me do not panic and make conclusion, try another method first like what i did.
my conclusion is there is bug around home things because its not appear when you playing game or watching movie

Not sure if it's really not visible or I'm blind, but I can't see the green bar.
The fact you've posted a screenshot that shows no issue, whilst you see an issue on your device, would heavily indicate that the issue is hardware based
