Screen Issue w/pics - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

so at the bottom of the screen while on lightly colored pages (settings menu), it looks like there are little flashlights shining out from behind the buttons. if you hold the phone straight up and down, and try to look "down" behind the buttons, you can really see the "flashlight" effect. they are uniform in size and protrude about 1mm or so up into the screen (very hard to notice but when looking for easy to see). let me reiterate that this is only noticeable on lighter colored pages, like the settings menu...and they are only at the bottom of the screen.
is this normal?!!!
I think I am being picky, as I do see this to some extent on other LCD screens but for some reason it just stood out more on this phone to me...

normal, just the backlight

Wow I do have them too. I think they're negligible though because I would've never even notice if you didn't show me haha.

Unfortunately, this sounds like light leakage. Not sure if all HTC One X's have it. My Evo 4G had it. Could be part of HTC phones? Not sure, someone would have to confirm.

That is normal

Got it too. I noticed it the first few mins i had the phone. Didnt have it on my SGSII though. Sometimes i think i shouldnt have upgraded yet.

The One X is an LCD screen while the SII is an LED screen. What you are seeing is the backlights of the screen. Every screen tech has its pros/cons.

so essentially this is normal...I guess for piece of mind I will run to the store and check the display models to make sure mine isn't any "worse" than usual.

mine looks like this, max brightness, black or white. but this is straight down. if i look at an angle like i'm looking under the screen i can see the lights...barely. yours may have a worse case but it is there, just not so much on mine.

Of what? From OP's pics you can see the backlight visibly showing at the bottom of the display. I'm assuming it's more visible in person otherwise he wouldn't have posted. I don't see it on mine no matter what angle I'm viewing the phone at. If this was never an issue than I guess it doesn't really matter anyway.

worse case than mine i guess. i thought at first mine was like yours, even my camera was taking pictures like yours. but i can truly see it at a curtain angle, just barely. take your phone and slowly angle it, at about 30-40 degrees it mirrors off something and can be seen. i can't see it on black, but on white i can on max brightness, it seems to dissappear at about 80-85% or lower brightness.

Let me try again. On my phone, at every conceivable angle, in a dark room, on light and dark backgrounds, the backlight is not visible. And if I rotate the screen, it's not visible from the top either. OP on the other hand can clearly see the backlight showing through because he sees it with the naked eye and was able to photograph it.
There’s one other thing to consider. My phone has an Acer display. Quite a few people have posted they have Sony displays. If OP has a Sony display there’s a possibility that they all look like what OP posted.

Damn I want an acer display phone

of course you can't see it with a dark background, the lcd is doing what it is supposed to do and blocks the light... just like you can see them when you have light colors.

Captivate yellow tint? Not blue

Has anyone ever experienced a yellow tint on their captivate? I just received my 2nd Captivate from AT&T after doing an exchange. The 2nd one seems to be darker and has an obvious yellow coloring on the screen. It makes it look like a summer 6pm afternoon sunlight casting over the colors.
The first one was more white and bright. I know many people have said they've experienced a blue tint, but has anyone experienced a yellow one? I'm seriously deciding if I should send this one back as well.

I think I'm going to contact AT&T and get another replacement. I paid non commitment pricing on this phone and I just don't feel satisfied with the QC. If I were to turn off auto brightness, it only makes it a little better, but compared to my original one, it still has a "dirty yellow" look to it. Plus, turning off auto brightness will make it drain my battery faster, so I find it unfair that I have to do that.
Here are my photos I just snapped right now using the "Screen Test" app.
The screen on the right is my 1st original Captivate
The screen on the left is the 2nd replacement Captivate

I guess my first one (right) is considered to be the ones with "blue" tint, but I actually favor that over the one on the left because it's much brighter. As you can see in the photo, the one on the left actually looks washed out and dull. The color is not as vibrant, and gives a yellow / dirty brown look to it.
I already called for a 3rd captivate to be sent in to me, I hope that one will be much better.
I'm in the same boat as you, mike. I just got my replacement yesterday, and it's more red. My original has the blue tint. I prefer the blue tint as well. I'm going to request another replacement and see how that goes.

Yea, it doesn't look as bright. I'm receiving another replacement in the mail tomorrow, I really hope it'll be brighter.
What are you going to do if your NEXT replacement is red again lol
Haha I'm not sure yet. BTW, is the vibration on your replacement a lot louder than your original? Mine is and it's annoying. That's actually the main reason i am getting another replacement.

the case and the protective glass are curved
the SAMOLED display is flat
that's why you should expect to have some touch sensitive UNresponses near the bottom of the most curved part

Are you sure that the SAMOLED is flat? My understanding of SAMOLED screens is that there is no glass between the screen and the touch surface as there is in most typical touchscreen devices (Wikipedia confirms and the Engadget review directly states "Curved Super AMOLED") Looking at the screen from the side, I can see my background curving and I cannot reproduce the "UNresponses" on either the top or the bottom of my device or my wife's.
Wikipedia said:
Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones. It differs from many other display technologies in that the layer which detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top.

I'm not an expert, but I'd venture a guess that given that information saying the entire screen is curved is a safe bet.

I think the curved screen looks GREAT, and gives the phone a distinctive look that no other phone in its class has.
There's certainly one small advantage to the curved screen...if you drop the phone or lay it on a table face down, the bulk of the screen cannot touch the surface and get marred. On the other hand, I suspect someone will say that it's worse for that because the impact on a drop is placed in a smaller area and increases risk of shatter. I'm not a glass engineer, so I don't really know if that's true or not, but it would make sense.
re: curved
if you use s strong flash light you can see the difference
or if you take the phone apart, or you can simply refer to artukas613 picture

I just used my LED flashlight and I couldn't see it. Also, I can't find where that picture was from and I'm always weary of sources I can't check.
I found this: http://http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/samsung-super-amoled-explained-in-pretty-moving-pictures-video/ which states that:
t's thinner since the touch sensors are now integrated into the display

Click to collapse
And this: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1 but it has no side view pictures of the screen but from what I can tell, it looks super thin which goes against the other posted pictures.
As I said before, all of this to me indicates that the entire screen is curved as I cannot reproduce any touch "UNresponses", I still maintain I can see my background curve, everything I've read indicates that a SAMOLED is a SAMOLED because the touch sensor is built into the screen and not on top of it, and I can''t see a difference with a powerful flashlight.

Not really sure why allgamer had to "do my home work for me" with lmgtfy as I posted the link to the website, I just didn't see the second page. It would have wasted a lot less of your time if you had just said "Look on the second page" as demo23019. I don't generally care about teardowns so I have never looked at one before.

[Q]My screen is leaking a sticky clear fluid

I recently pulled out my tablet and noticed that it screen had cracked close to the top, an inch or two to the right of the camera down to where the volume rocker. The LCD screen itself seems fine but there is a weird fluid that is leaking out of one spot right at the top on the bezel. Its been happening for a few hours very slowly and I've yet to see any oddities with the LCD screen so I don't think its the fluid from the LCD screen, any ideas? I've searched everywhere and can't find anything.
I can live with the crack but would like to know if it's going to get worse/cause problems that might cost me more than replacing the screen. And if so is there any DIY way to make it a bit better

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
liquid inside your tablet has nothing to do with Asus
There should not be anything in your TF with liquid. Did you use your TF for some recreational pleasure?
Even the battery cells are solid.
My guess is the H2O from your Rubber Ducky battery level indicator. Or maybe the melting iceberg water from the Penguin. lol
There may be a layer of liquid in the LCD to improve transparency between layers. It shouldn't be leaking obviously so something is wrong.
Looks like many forgot what LCD stands for... it is Liquid Crystal Display, so it might be easily that when the bezel and the screen broke (mostly the screen, as it is directly attached to the display area, they are built together), it damaged the LCD crystal containers, and now that part leaks. Isn't there any weird artifacts on the screen, around the crack? Like dis-colorization, blind white spots, etc?

English please?
Are liquid crystals safe? Should you be touching them if it's them that are leaking?
Totally! It must be the LCD leaking. Defiantly don't touch it. If you think getting a splinter of glass out of your finger is hard just imagine a liquid splinter. It could work it's way into your blood steam and tear up your insides!

LCDs don't actually contain liquid. The word "liquid" refers to the physical properties of the crystals in the screen - they're "liquid" in that they can bend and twist smoothly to turn the pixels on and off. They won't leak out though.
I did some googling on leaky LCDs and only found a few actual stories of people claiming to have leaky screens. A few of them turned around and posted back that they'd found another culprit - leaving the laptop under a leaky ceiling for instance, so liquid later dribbled out around the screen. I'm going to guess someone spilled a liquid in your tablet, and it's dribbling back out when you hold it just right. Try removing the bezel (screws by the docking port, carefully pry it loose - there are threads about it) and I bet you find more liquid in there somewhere.

Replaced just the glass, saved the digi/lcd (With video)

Well I read a lot of places that it couldn't be done. I have successfully replaced just the glass. I recorded it on my Gopro so everyone can see how its done. If you find it useful hit the thanks Make sure you spread this around so people stop buying 300 dollar full LCD assemblies.

Nice and straight to the point. The glass doesn't contain the digitizer, right? It also doesn't need to be glued to the actual oled itself? Isn't the glue between the glass and the oled causing the dark blotches? The oled should be plastic so you should be able to clean it with a light solvent before putting the new glass on. Sorry for so many questions. I haven't cracked mine but its nice to know it can be fixed cheap.

Idk if you saw the threads about the dark blotches when viewing a black image at night. They show up on every phone from the factory. I thought that after your method that a side effect would be those would be gone. This makes me worry less about getting a case

Permanent smudge splotch on screen

Just got my Note 3 and I'm loving it. However, I recently noticed upon closer examination of my screen that there is a permanent smudge mark that ceases to go away. It only appears when there is a large build-up of normal smudges or when I breathe on the screen.
Here is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone else have this issue? To check, just breathe onto the screen creating that fog-like cover.
From what I have gathered, it is "oleophobic screen coating" wearing off but I have had my Note 3 for four days so it has not gotten that much usage.
I don't have that problem. Does this only happen when you have smudges or breathe on it? If so then I would suggest a screen protector either tempered or film.

Once I wipe the screen of all smudges, it goes away. But as soon as there are more smudges it becomes visible.
Is it worth exchanging?
If you are within you return policy date then yes I would. I'm the type of person if I knew it was there even though I don't see it it would bother me lol.

Mine seems OK, I'd suggest bringing it back also. If it is the coating of the screen vanishing this fast then that's a build issue. - could also cause weaknesses to the screen any time further down the line.

I have the exact same issue. My smudge is alot bigger. Its horizontal a little above center of the screen and about an inch long. It drives me crazy. I can wipe my screen completely smudge free and if I breath on it, there it is! It is starting to exceed the limits of my OCD medication!! :banghead:
Edit: Mine was like this since day one and noticed it about 10 minutes after purchase.

I have never seen anything like that before. If that was my phone i would be seeking a replacement ASAP!!!!
i have the exact same issue here, except the location, which makes it interessting:
mine is exact over the place of the indicator LED, and goes up to the top in a "U" form!
and i do not know why, but i did not encountered it before. could the light (and the minimal
temperature) from the led has something to do with this?
Probably is the coating worn off. I had something similar on my old phone. I ended up polishing the entire screen with a little bit of white toothpaste to remove coating elsewhere and give it a better appearance.
Wow I didn't think there we some many cases like this. What the hell is Samsung doing to these screens?
Reading this thread. .. It's just unbelievable that you guys haven't gone and got a replacement. No way should you be having any of these issues on an expensive flagship phone. Take it back is all I'm going to say. I haven't got it. ... If I breath on it the fog disappears Just as Fast as it came. ..

I agree. I would of taking this piece of crap back. I have already had one replacement. These phones man I swear.
I hope they replace everybody's phones. We pay to much money for crap like that to happen.
Again, I WILL NEVER BUY AN AT&T PHONE OR SAMSUNG PHONE AGAIN IN MY LIFE. IM DONE.
Hello Google phones.

You do realize that eventually you will get a Google phone with a defect? WHERE WILL YOU TURN THEN?
HELLO, WINDOWS PHONE
I've walked on the top corner of my note 4. Since then, a stain appeared ont the screen. That stain keeps growing covering up the display day after day. It is dark at the center, blue in the midlle and purple at its ending side. What must I do to remove it? Please, can anyone advice me.
