Hey all, I just wanted to put a question out to see if anyone else may be experiencing this issue. I got my I9003 last year in March and after few months I noticed that the display Glass/Screen is coming out or slightly popping out of the frame of the phone on the top edge. It appears as if it is put on with adhesive that is not working to well. The bottom edge feels good, the edge is slightly up beyond the glass, but on the top edge, the glass is coming above the level of the edge. Initially, it was very slight, and the glass would go inside to fit in the frame when i push it. But recently, the problem has amplified, the difference between the glass and the frame has increased much, and the MAIN PROBLEM is that due to a small gap on the top, dust has entered and my front camera is all filled with dirt. Now I fear that if dust enters above the sensors (proximity and light), that would make the the phone quite less useful.
I would appreciate it if anyone else has noticed this if they could let me, and others know. And also if the the phone can be replaced in guarantee period for this problem (manufacturer's defect).
Thanks.

No, the phone is kept/handled with utmost care and LOVE
Never dropped it even 1 feet distance. This problem, as i mentioned earlier, was since long time back, but only it gets into my notice more often now, just because of the dirty camera.

Goto the customer service and say them that the mobile earpiece's upper portion gets overheated when charging and as a result the upper body part is popping out slowly due to heating... Hope this would help you..

Thanks for the tip.
Will visit soon and explain them (with extras). Lets see if they replace, or at least fix it.
Sorry for bumping, but i'd just like to report that i'm also experiencing this. Apparently the same thing happened with some galaxy tab's too.
I am the oldest user of i9003 bought the 1st lot of phone made on 4th Feb 2011 but since then never heard of this problem, seems a particular batch problem with sicking glue.
Take it to service center either they will repair it of replace it.
took it to the service center. they didn't replace the phone in whole but they changed the front panel, which holds the LCD (they said that the LCD is not separate but comes with the panel), with the LCD. anyways, i'm happy that the package feels nice touch and hold now
How much time it will take to fix it by service center

I took it on a Saturday. They told me they'll fix it by the coming Tuesday. Although I could collect it only on the next Saturday.
Even i noticed this.
Planning to take it to the centre, should I as a precaution remove all mods, root n stuff before giving it to them

I bought my HTC S710 just 5 months ago, and my LCD screen cracked while in my pocket!
Did anyone has such a problem?
Is this problem common with this phone?
Do you know if warranty is valid for this damage?
Not a common problem, seems like you would have put too much pressure on it or bumped it against something. I've sat on mine after forgetting it's in my back-pocket, but I keep the LCD inwards and have had no problems.
You probably won't get it warrantied, but it's worth a shot.
@beijmanli wtf!
@SAHILISTHEBEST yeah your device needs to go for service.
and no its not common, i have dropped my device couple of times but not a single scratch yet. I have a scratch guard film on the screen.
yes, i've found in other forums also that this has now become a common problem for VOX and many users have complained about this matter. I think that since this is a manufacturer's technical defect and the Company should take the matter into consideration as this damage is caused not due to mishandling. the below mentioned url proves the same:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1120701/HTC+S710+-+LCD+SCREEN+CRACKES?t=anon
Had the same thing happen to me, basically my fault (screen turned out)
If you have it in your pocket, turn the screen inward and you have a lot less problems
Yes the display is a bit touchier because its so big. (for a phone) its up to the user to be carefull I doubt you'll get it serviced free, although the trend to "not my fault, all your fault" is clear

I felt amazing when i saw that no physical damage is caused to the housing or any other part. The screen cracked by itself within the housing.
It seems there is some problem with the internal structure of the phone. It cant resist too much pressure i guess.
Hope HTC manufacturers understand this problem soon.
Well in my case it was just a bit too much pressure on the center of the screen, this can happen easily, by hitting the corner of a table for example. You wouldn't see an effect on the housing sind your pants would stop any scratches etc.
Lesson is: Always put the phone with the display to your leg/arse/whatever, just don't let it face outward.
New Screen + Fitting!

thanks Voxer,
The manual was really cool n helpful.
I called the HTC Authorised service executive in India n told him the problem. I told them that since the damage was not due to mishandling and my screen broke by itself. they exaxmined my mobile and after makingsome more calls to some of HTC officials, they agreed for the screen replacement of my phone and allowed me a discount of 40% on the new screen.

Okay strait to the point! I've got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.3 bought it 4 months ago.
I accidently dropped my phone and cracked my screen on the bottom right corner. The crack went from bottom and a diagonal line up til the right side. I took a picture below.
imageshack(.)us/photo/my-images/685/20120326152703.jpg
This happened about 2 months ago. No problem since. I dropped the phone a few times afterward but it didnt seem to affect it lucky me.
Yesterday i tried watch some series over my WIFI and the phone got really hot around the camera area. The phone wasn't acting well either and then battery dropped from 75% til about 10% in 10 minutes without any video still showing up. (Never had that problem before). I stopped using it and instead put it on recharge for the next day. And today on the morning it was still okay. Went to school and back with the mobile still working. Put it on my table and checked my PC.
About 2 hours later while cheking up on my galaxy i discovered this.
imageshack(.)us/photo/my-images/198/20120326153629.jpg
I think that the LCD finally busted but i need to be sure if it has something to do with the previous crack and also if you could provide any info about what to do with it? Does my warrenty cover this? Or do i need extra insuranse?
I really need help right now LCD blackned spots
The screen has started to turn black from the core of the LCD leak. I now really think this is a broken LCD screen and not a software problem. If someone knows what i could do to fix this i really could need the help right now.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong,
But it sounds to me like you've busted the digitizer portion of your device. As to it being caused by the small crack on your screen.. i don't really know(can't really see if it's a crack in the glass or digi). At any rate, judging from the second picture you provided us it most definitely looks like you damaged the digitizer.
Most companies don't really cover damaged screens caused by users. However, being that your S2 is only 4 months old you could possibly pass it as "it did it by itself, I don't know what happen". Worth a shot I guess...
If all fails you could bring it to a electronics repair shop or you can repair it yourself via a digitizer part bought on ebay(probably pretty expensive being that its part of the screen)
If all else fails check ebay for a new screen.

If your thinking about taking the DIY road I found a screen for you.Quick note about buying something overseas on eBay: it usually takes awhile for the part to ship and even when you get it, the part may not be functional. But don't fret, eBay is usually pretty good about stuff like this so a working part will be guaranteed or your money back!
If you do decide to repair it yourself I would first research A LOT about your phone. Especially, the disassembly guide! Try to use only credible guides such as iFixit, repair universe etc.
This only applies to flex ribbon cables:
when replacing screens sometimes you have to plug it in a few times before you actually get it to respond(could be cause by oxidation of the pins) if thats the case, you could try to take a #2 pencil eraser and gently rub against the pins and remove the oxidation...
Good Luck!
Please let me know how it goes!

Yes it is really a crack and a very annoying one. It doesn't cause any problems with the touch-function, so I've been using it normally but for the screen, it has gone completely black but for the top right part still a little darkblue. I think I'm going with your first answer and try to check it in on warranty have had a bit luck with it past couple of times but im not sure about changing it myself. If having no luck with warranty then maybe ill try doing it myself.
at any rate weather you get warranty to change it or you fix it yourself maybe youll learn to be more careful and get a case maybe???
Hi,friends, I recently open my phone to remove dust from front camera, fot that I had searched a lot and with the help of below comments I have got many thing to know about the phone hardware. I have found many manual for our phone which can help u on hardware base and may be software,too. So I am attaching the manual below.
Let me tell u that I am providing this manuals so if u want to mess your phone, you can open it with help of it. However decision of opening the phone will be only yours, i will not be responsible for damaged caused to your phone. If u are having warranty than then the best way to visit service center only(Advisory). After all choice will be yours...
I am not expert of hardware. I am just sharing the manuals that can help you. How ever u can post your questions based on hardware and person who will have solution will reply. I request to reply who has solution.
It may help u to open the phone.
Will be back with some more manuals.
Here down my problem was...
Hi, friends. I have got dust in front camera of my phone. It had happened three three months before also, but at that time had got it done as only two day of warranty were there. But now it has happened again. So I thought to try to open my phone. I opened seven screws from back side. But i can not open inner back cover as volume button and lock button are attached with it through holes. So need help if anyone have tried before and have opened the phone before. I searched on google also to find proper answer but i didn't get. I found manual of our phone but there was nothing about hardware. If i can open inner back cover and can remove dust by my self. I think if i can solve it by my self and don't have to pay money to sammy as i find that they some times take much money. So if anyone can help here before I need to go to sammy.

Theres dust in your front cam glass means your touch screen glass has slightly come off near the front cam. Try to just pull out a little bit.. N insert a ear bud... Yess a ear bud to wipe the dust off. And then a couple of adhesive drops will stick the screen back.
It had happened to me.. N this is what i did.

@chinmay_7d:- I didn't get this "your touch screen glass has slightly come off near the front cam"... I cleared the dust with ear buds..
After all I did it my self. However it is quiet risky and one needs to be very care-full. One can brick his\her phone and divide it into little stone. I got one little crack on inner back cover but i will solve it and i got an ic loose which i had to attach with tap and cotton. However i got to know very much about the spar-parts. I am think of making this thread base on hardware help with all manuals available.....What do u say guys??? Should I or not.

Hi guys!
I've got a brand new Z3 for christmas and I do have a strage problem.
It's the screen underlight comming out of the edge of my screen near lanyard hole. And now I see it appears also on the counter side... 3 times smaller but it is.
I'm uploading pics so you can see what I mean.
Have anyone the same problem?
Do I need do return my phone?
Is my phone waterproof?
P.S.
I have Z1 until now and I don't have such a problem...
I have had lcd backlight leak like that before, exchanged 2 units for it but both were still waterproof. Best way to test is type in the dialer *#*#7378423#*#* and go into pressure test, press the screen a little with all flaps closed and see if pressure changes. If it's not waterproof pressure won't change.
Thank you!
It's working. Pressure changes with flaps closed and don't with opened.
So the last question:
It's only my will to exchange it or not?
Best regards,
Karol

Just don't the pressure sensor test and it starts around 118 then when I apply pressure it goes tocabout 122 then quickly goes back to 118 does this mean my z3 is water tight lol
Sorry just not sure if it's meant to stay around 122 till I realise the pressure

Yeah my damn phone same deal, I just posted a thread as well, right by the change port, interestingly enough if I hold the phone in my hand when I would go to lock push the power button, my thumb is right where this mark is as well, so I am now wondering if the slight side pressure over time has done this.

Possibly, it can't really be charge port related in my case as i don't use. I haven't plugged the USB into my phone for about 4 or 5 months now. I always use a dock/cradle with magnetic charging in it.

I've just had mine repaired for a very similar discoloration under warranty. My screen also started to lift - there's some conjecture that the discolouration is the glue melting!
Had mine delivered back to me this morning after sending it back for this issue. Came back repaired with new screen protectors and new bezle fitted. Through warrenty
guys, can you pelase confirm it the replaced screen is the same as the original? I had it replaced but the screen I got is not the same as the old one..while viewing in extreme sunlight, i could clearly see the LEDs on the display...but now all i see are vertical dots...seems like they fitted a chinese display that looks exactly the same...

Mine had dots before I sent it away and the screen it came back with also has dote, although now they seem less visable. They were extremely noticable before. Also, my pictures look amazing compared to before.
Before sending it away it was on 4.4.4 but now its on 5.1.1 so weather that has something to do with it or not I dont know.
Ok finally got device back, i got completely "new" unit, only motherboard is my old one..so full cover, digitizer and lcd is new one.
