Yellow-spotted screen - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Do you think we will suffer from this issue as the regular One X has? It seems to be a large-scale problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574058
I really hope not.
We will be receiving our phones shortly. This can be the thread to discuss who has/has not received a defective device.

i'll take a screenshot when i get mine to show you.

You need to take a picture of the screen with a phone/camera, not a screen shot.

Thanks! HTC has acknowledged the issue, so I hope that they resolved it prior to US release! It's making the excitement and anticipation so much less enjoyable!

this demo unit at a los angeles att corporate store had no yellow spots whatsoever. Played with it for about 10 minutes....good enough for me. I pre ordered at the store and I can pick up on the 4th.

The displays on both One X's are the same. You guys are already getting both cool and warm displays. Unless the spots are Teg3 code/driver related (most of the graphics-related problems are) you'll get them too. A note, the international forum is very emotional so divide an issue at least by two when forming an opinion.

Ugh... I don't get why HTC would use 2 screens. I ended up returning my unit because Rogers refused to exchange my phone.
It is really hard to live with the warmer screen once you see the cooler one.
People who settle for the warmer display are missing out IMO... The warm screen is nice... but the cool one is "wow" nice.

Remember the iPhone 4s had yellow spots, it was from the adhesive not fully drying, they told the phone owners to wait a while and it would go away. Could be the same case.

htc screen has yellowish color?

Still don't know whether I should go for sensation or sgs II.
except for qHD and design quality, I like everything from sgs II.
But I still want to go for sensation. I have seen some of the video review and found that the sensation screen has yellowish color when being looked the side.
I am a bit a person like to show off. am wondering whether the hot girls will just laugh at this.
Sounds to me like you have bigger issues than just the yellow tint
Hot girls don't tend to like people showing off phones. It's not usually a turn on unless they are geeks. Just saying...

Well, ignoring the girls comment, on the Slashgear screen comparison video they mention that on the video it looks yellowish but that in real life it is very white (whiter than the SII).
I got mine delivered on saturday and was immediately disappointed as the screen does have a yellow/green tint and the whites are not bright white
I went to my local vodafone store to compare it with one of theirs and the one they unboxed had a perfect display. I tried to exchange but they couldn't as mine was an online purchase and not a store purchase!!
Went home and contacted the online team and they agreed to exchange and made arrangements for a replacement to be delivered tomorrow (tuesday). Several hours later I got a call from them to say they were out of stock so the replacement will be delayed but I should get it sometime this week!!
Overall I like the phone but the display on mine definitely lets it down! Hoping that the replacement will be ok
Please update it on this. If this is case by case, I would still give it a go.

Of course it is if you're not happy with it. Having compared mine to one that was ok it was obviously not up to standard. Contact customer services via the phone and request a new replacement.
Still waiting for my replacement though, had another call from vodafone earlier to tell me I will now recieve mine tomorrow and not today. Hope it does as I have now had my sensation for almost a week and it has been in the box for all but about 2 hours!
any update? Thanks.

hoorah!
So it's finally arrived 10 days after vodafone agreeing to replace.... what a performance getting it.
This one is good, the screen is fine and whites are white.... yay!
Fully set up with no other probs yet found although like others have reported it does get warm on charging.
Now we'll see how it goes......
Another update. Went to shop again today, same thing, went to phones4u, their one looked tiny bit whiter. Decided to stick with my current unit..
Also, i noticed that brand new ones at voda where even more yellow than mine, so maybe screen needs some time to burn or something? One thing i'm not going to do is i will never put my desire next to sensation, as this annoys me a lot then, when i can see how much difference there is.
Another thing, i believe it is software problem, not hardware, as when i look at xda its got some hue, but when i scroll forums, colour changes to normal ever so slightly. Weird.....
Oh, and the LOOKS i was given at vodashop.... I think they believed I was an idiot, shame i didn't have desire with me...
Thanks man. That is really great to know. I might go for sensation. What an idiot I am.

I don't think I'm the only one that's had that prob so my advice is get one from a store so you can see it.
After a few hours use now the battery life appears to be much better on this one, perhaps the 2 are connected?
Hi. I believe this is standard with the Quality of Screen HTC is Using.

Screen Bleed Swap out days are over

After only a single attempt at a warranty replacement I finally got word from TMO today that they will no longer swap handset's for screen bleeding issues. The rep told me that it is now considered a known issue and will not swap anymore phones because they know that the new one will have the same issues as well. I asked if she knew anymore information about it and she said the only thing that they know is that LG is working on a permanent fix.
I asked if that meant a new handset for those with the screen issue and of course she did not know but also stated that the fix/replace/repair is definitely a hardware problem and LG is expected to make right on it. So for now Ill deal with random reboots, shutdowns, and crappy battery until the update. I'm just curious on how they are going to remedy the situation. Hopefully a release comes out soon at least identifying the issue.
So if you can still trade in then by all means go for it. I have had two reps tell me now that as of the 24th, they no longer exchange due to screen bleed. I didnt push the issue on a new phone cause I like this phone and want to see how it all turns out now that LG has the ball.
I originally posted an article on the issue here at Gear Diary
Here is the new post that went live today. Bleed Article Pt 2

On another note I did speak with a CSR today her name was Nicole. She told me she could exchange for another if I wanted or she could offer me a nice discount on another phone. I rejected both, I was just trying to fish for information. So maybe the whole we are not replacing news hasn't filtered down to everyone yet, or you just got a rep that is tired of exchanging out G2X's

Ha... I've swapped out over 5 Mytouch 4Gs and the best way to go about it is through the chat on their website.
It all depends on the Rep. I read on the MT4G forum they quit swapping out phones for the screen issue with that phone... It's a wash. Depends on who you talk to and how their day is going apparently.
If at first you don't succeed... Call another rep... LOL
unless they notate the account and we get a sweet big red pop up saying DONT DO IT when you walk into a brick and mortar.

It's really an easy fix.....they just need to limit the backlight output to about 45% of the current max.
The screen bleed will almost never be visible, at that new max brightness. Of course when outside, and you want to kick up the brightness to max....it just won't perform the same.
The Optimus Black is supposed to be the new NOVA screens....I have not bothered to check to see what the bleed complaints are over there. Switching out the G2x to the NOVA screen as an undocumented upgrade would not be out of the question.

I've heard the Nova displays are supposed to perform good in direct sunlight but Vlad from Engadget said it falls well short of performing well in direct sunlight.

This is totally YMMV with the reps. She had to take some time and look it up in the "knowledge base" and said that she learned something new. It may have just been me but the rude chat representative and now the rep from the phonecall said the same thing. I guess it all depends on how much you push. I was most happy just to know that now it is seen as a legitimate issue by both TMO and LG and am waiting for the resolve.
I just got one swapped out yesterday. They gave me free overnight shipping too. This is like the 5th time, if its not free I guess I'm confident ill get to keep it. You see I learned during my call yesterday that they now charge five bucks for using warranty, that's a change in contract, 30 days to reject the new changes. Even still, I'm on my 5th G2X, completelly unacceptable!

See this is an example of why t-mobile sucks. They've sold phones that THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE...and won't replace them. I understand it'd be stupid to replace them with another G2X - but they should a) give us our money back or b) exchange it for another phone like the sensation or mytouch4G. The fact that they don't is probably grounds for a lawsuit. If anyone is interested I'm thinking of filing one.
Luckily for me, I only had to swap mine once to get a phone without backlight bleed. Even on max, it's hardly noticeable. My first one was horrible, even below 50%. Now, the wait for an update begins.
im getting a replacement but there charging me 20 bucks to do so! i got the shiz end of the deal
Or they could directly seal the screen to the glass like. In the iphone and galaxy s lineup

Not necessarily. If you bring up prices in asking for a replacement (i.e. I paid $180 for my G2x and Sensation is now cheaper) they'll frequently feel pressured into sending you one. My brother swapped his out for a Sensation, claimed the Sensy had overheating problems, and got a replacement MT4G Slide.
When I popped that response into the google narcissism translator, this is what it spit out: i wanted to post something that offers zero value to this thread, xda, or anyone else in this world. As a matter of fact, I wanted to post something that has zero value for a single thing on this entire earth, outside of puffing up my ego. I'm so thankful I have avenues such as the internet to sharpen and feed my narcissism. I'm so full now.. I'm so happy. I feel great. Wow, it's like a drug. I hope someone argues with my stance so I can keep getting fed....

Pressed screen sound

Does the sensation make cracking sounds when you press on the screen with little effort? It is similar to the sound the back battery cover makes when it gets pressed on other devices. Just quivering if its a defect or normal. I think its the noise of the edge of the screen rubbing with the frame of the phone.

There are a lot of threads about this. A lot off people are getting new covers from HTC. You can also try to put a little tape on the inside of the cover, to make.it more snug

so this is common and most people can hear a noise of the phones cover when the screen is pressed using about the same amount of pressure as snapping your fingers?

I'm getting it next week so I'll let you know. I did my exchange through T-Mobile. I tried doing it online, but the CSR rep wasn't picking up on what I said so I just called. They handle all the stuff for me and are sending me a phone from HTC.
I got my replacement today and it was just the phone, not the back cover. Not sure if it's a refurb or a new model. I have no more creaking sounds and the screen doesn't "give" anymore either. Hope that helps.
If it makes a noise when you press "right there" then don't press right there. Never in by wildest dreams have I ever thought of returning my phone cuz it made "a noise". I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. You complain about sounds created from actions that aren't part of everyday use. It's like you sit and look for defects just so you have something to complain about. It's insane. I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or a rant, but it just bugs me seeing just so many useless threads like this.

If you're talking to me, it isn't the only issue I had. I had light leaking through the bottom left hand corner, the text/screen flicker issue, and the fact the battery would overheat while charging at times. I paid a premium price for the phone and I expect to get my money's worth. I don't think that's unfair.

I agree. i have searched and found a bunch of people that had the creaking sound when pressing on the screen. unsure why but my intention was to find out of it was common and everyone had this issue or not. i also have screen problems at times and that is when i called tmobile about it and at the end mentioned the creaking sound. the back shell is defective thats why its creaking. if i really wanted to start picking things to complain and return the device i would have done that for not having a external sd or small pointless crap like that or how the official case covers holes in the back. i also had pixalation problems on the screen. my biggest problem was just i had to press the screen a bunch of times just to get it to respond. we are paying $500+ for phones so we expect them to work!

On some units, yes. But not all units have these issues. I didn't even mention the lock screen issue when half of the screen disappears or the ring isn't responsive. I wouldn't mind if I only had one of those issues, but all of them combined got to be too much.

I see your point, but I guess what I'm trying to get at is that me personally, I read up a whole lot on every phone I get before I make that jump to buy. I have "a person" that gets the newest gadgets to me alot cheaper than retail and I still read up. So, if i was gonna pay $600 for a new device, please believe I'd have studied on it long and hard first, knowing all of the pros and cons, and weighing them out. Them making the purchase and being satisfied with what I'd bought because I made a solid decision after thoroughly researching it.
BTW, sorry to hear you got a bad one. So far, the only issue I've had with mine has been the fact that sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to unlock the screen cuz the icons move instead of the ring, so I can understand your frustration.

Did it have anything about the warranty? New units have one year. Refurbs come with 90 days. So if it was a new unit, it could technically say 1 year. I dont know for sure, just guessing. How's the quality of the replacement unit? Any scratches/blemishes anywhere? Thx.

No, it didn't. Not as far as I can tell.
It's not too bad. Don't see any scratches/dust/or whatever. The speaker isn't as good as my old one and the yellow tint is a bit noticeable, but there's no screen flicker. Other then that it's a pretty good phone.

Plan on picking the One S up soon...

I currently own a G2x and am really interested in picking this baby up. The last few days, however, I've been reading about a lot of issues. These are mainly quality control like wear and tear on the power key, the paintjob coming off on the sides, etc.
I was hoping some of you guys could share your experience with the phone and whether or not I should take the plunge. Is everyone having the qaulity control issues?

My device is working amazingly. great battery and performance. the only paint chip issue is with the black and red model. I have the silver and blue model with absolutely no complaints. My suggestion: get this device!
I am very happy with mine.
I have a D30 cover on it, so I haven't seen the paint issue (or because the T-Mobile US model doesn't have the issue) and my power button works fine.
I also came from a G2X.
Agree with all of them .....one of the best phones out. No disappointment...no regrets with this phone....its the real deal and T-Mobile has an update coming out within a couple of days or so...so any lingering bugs should be fixed...this is a high quality phone built to last! High recommend it to anyone

The T-Mobile version is the grey+blue version. This one does NOT have the chipping problem. As far as I understand, T-Mo will not be selling the black+red version. The only way to get black+red would be to get the international version shipped from online. The grey+blue (no paint chipping issue) model also has an international version as well (not T-Mo branded). I would prefer to get the T-Mo version (if you have T-Mo) because you can get it for a cheap price with contract extension if your line is upgradable.
Either way: black+red version = chipping problem, grey+blue = no paint chipping problem. The reason is because of the material it is made of. The black one goes through a process called micro oxidation where the metal is zapped with a lot of electricity. This leaves the black finish over the metal, which may chip over time.
I'm really happy with mine too. Only a couple of minor software bugs for me (that will probably be fixed with the OTA).
About the chipping (and pretty much all problems with all phones), it's hard to say how prevalent the problem is, because usually only the people who have problems speak up. You almost never see anyone make a "Who else's phone is perfect and totally awesome!" thread. So there could be hundreds of thousands of people without problems, but you only hear from people with issues, which makes things seem much worse than they are.
If you're really worried, I'd say go for the silver one - still the best looking phone out there, regardless of color. Black is boring anyway.

very simple, made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in usa has to have higher quality otherwise the government of this country will kick htc's butt lol. while made in taiwan stuff meant to be sold in whatever party of the world, I dont thing is a big deal
I love my One S. The only thing I'm not totally happy about is the display. Sometimes the right edges of icons or text are a bit pixelated. However, this is not noticeable in games or movies which is what I mostly use mine for anyways. It's a very sexy device, and once I rooted it and put Trickdroid on it with a few tweaks (6 x 5 app drawer and removed the 3 dot menu stuff, remapped the soft touch buttons), it's just shy of perfection. Damn sexy looking too.
So basically I should get the blue version and don't have to worry about the chipping?

Correct. The process they used on the black and red version which causes the chipping was not done on the blue and grey version. =)

I see, what is HTC doing to compensate?

I have the One S myself, and yeah, I don't like the screen b/c it's not as high res as the X.
I just got the One S, but am thinking about jumping ship to the SG3. One of the things I like most about the One S, however, is the f/2.0 aperture on the camera which allows for better pictures in a low light situation.
Anymore input?
I'm still considering picking this phone up, convince me not to lol.
I kinda like the greyish color not tho, so the chipping isn't a problem.

At the moment, nothing. There really isn't anything that they can do once the process to the aluminum is completed. A coating to cover it is only as good as what it's covering, and if that chips, well...you get the point.
If you're stuck on the red/black one, just make sure to buy a clear case for it and you should be okay. Alternatively, I maintain that the grey/blue one is pretty sexy. And Samsung's plastic phones with Touchwiz suck. Don't do it. =)
another good reason

Receiving MMS's that are extremely small

Whenever someone sends me a photo messages, it comes out extremely small, like 20x20 pixels... What's going on?

I get this this sometimes too. The times I get it is when someone with an iPhone takes a screenshot with the Power/Home combo. Pic always looks tiny. I'm running CleanROM 4.5 if that matters.
Does the same on stock. Seems to be like the post above and only happens from iPhones.
There is no such thing as a greener grass.......,......
seems to only happen when i get screenshots from iphones as well, sometimes they come thru fine and sometimes they dont
Weird! Never pinned it down but this has been exactly my experience as well.

dafuq!!! off topic much.
but then reading crap like this
"Lighting for living Room
I have read a blog that as anyone would often say properly decorated living room is having a cozy and expensive furniture but aside from that lighting it would make the room perfect. And as a bit meticulous when it comes to home decorating, I believe that lighting does really a big factor so anybody could help me where I could find brilliant lighting for my living room.
do hedgei's take to a ball?
I adopted a 5 month old African Pygmy 3 weeks ago. She lets me pick her up without balling up and I give her a treat, but after that she just wants to get back into her igloo. I bought a large exercise ball for her to go anywhere she wants without getting into trouble, but she just goes in circles inside the ball.
Will she ever get used to the ball and learn how to use it? I am thinking that she wasn't handled very much in her young life, as she just wants to hide. Am I expecting to much too soon?
Thank you. "
I hope the mods wake up early and handle you.
I'm having the same issue. In my case it happens when my girlfriend sends me a screen shot from her GS3 and the same thing happens with my friend when he sends me screen shots from his HOX. We are all on AT&T with their respective branded devices. Not that I think it matters what carrier branded devices the screen shots are coming from.
From my experience with this issue, it seems that it only happens with someone sends me a screen shot. It's very random as well.
Could it be possible that screen shots are saved as an incompatible file type? If they are compatible, could it be a proxy setting?

Same problem here. Very frustrating. Is this something we're just going to have to deal with?
Good posts

I think we're on to something here. Perhaps there's a piece of code somewhere that tricks the phone into thinking it needs to resize .png files to a specific size, but has an error that causes it to show up as 20x20 pixels.
