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...

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.

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.

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.
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,

Hi,
I am seeing 2 single white dots on left side of my phone screen. I like Galaxy R beacuse of its specification. But same time I was worried about its screen size as I am too used to keep phone on left front pocket of my jeans pant. When I drive 2 wheeler I see sometime it gets pressurized. I don't know how else I can keep this phone with me.
So the question is, did my phone create any dead pixels just because of it might have got some pressure? Anyone can help to know are those really dead pixels and how to fix them?
I can only see them when camera switch on/off and display for a moment becomes black or when watching video. Otherwise with full colour background wallpaper, dots never be seen.
Well as we have lcd screen, i dnt thinkk that problem like dead pixels in amoleds can be happen here (correct me if i m wrong)
try flashing stock rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache, may be it help. Do update ur prob resolved or not.

i don't think they are dead pixels, it may be because of dust.. similar thing happened to my friends Optimus One because of dust..
First let's confirm its not due to the background of the picture that was on your screen.
- Type *#0*# => Press Vibration(Black) => Now check if there are any White spots.
- If there are white spots on the screen then take it to the service center and have it checked, if its just dust as guys above me have mentioned then they'll clean it.
- If you can't see any white spots then it was the background that you were talking about which had white spots & nothing is wrong with the screen.
Hope this helps.

I have a similar white spot... well, i am saving that one, given that the R is now out of stock, if we dont see an ICS build or if samsung says they can't get to update it to ICS, i am gonna take it to the samsung centre and ask them to change the screen as i am getting that white spot and because of no stocks, i am sure i will be getting my refund
Even I had a white pixel on the left hand side of the screen on my SGR. You can observe it only while having a dark background. I read online that its pretty common so I left it.
You can try an android app - "Pixellator" (?!).. I am not sure if thats the name.. It has been made specifically for such white pixels.. Its dint work for me though... But no harm in trying

Thanks for this information. I was not knowing such hidden interface. I did above test and found no white spots. I am actually confused now. I do have scratch guard on my screen. Don't know but those 2 white spots can be seen randomly only when black background is on screen.

Then it's the background's problem .
I know CM7 has such a system app called CMWallpapers.apk , and they have the choice of setting it as "No Wallpaper" . Can you try extracting that from the CM7 ROM and giving it a try ? Don't know if it works though *shrug*

try turning on the brightness to max and then do the vibration ( black) test...
then you can see them easily...
it is there in my case...

Switch on the camera and cover your camera & manually turn off the flash. Now take a picture it would be completely black.
Do update on the progress here.

I can now see those 2 very small white spots at the same place. Do such spots are problematic in future and should be fixed at service center soon? Do they will fix this under warranty?

If u want u can raise claim and yes they will fix it for free as its a display prob and ur phone is in warrnty period.
Before giving in ssc ensure that u have flashed stock rom of ur country, ur download counter is zero and ur phone is not rooted.

i had my Samsung tablet 8.9 since January and all of a sudden i noticed a white spot on the screen. it appears as gray when the device is on and the screen is white and it appears as white when the device is off or the screen is black. has anyone encountered the same problem? what is it? and why it suddenly appeared? how to solve it?
it is a normal thing. almost all lcd screens have approx. 0.03% dead pixel in whole screen even if it is new. there is no point to be worried about this.
Hello guys...
After too much confusion I finally decided to purchase XPS. Just few questions:
1) I read it has plastic body, does that plastic body get scratches too easily after all its main advantage is its design ? Because every now and then my phone fell down from the bed
2) What about its dev community ? Are the new games like asphalt 6, modern combat 3, shadowgun available for the xps ?
3) and yes, what about the Yellow tint issue ? Is it resolved by the sony or still I am in luck to find a good phone ?
4) What you suggest, should I wait for HTC One X price to drop so I can buy it ... Because I would love Quad core, will my xps dual core lag if I play games too much ?
Guys.. I am thinking to change the decision just bcoz of yellow tint issue
talk.sonymobile.com/thread/34135?start=645&tstart=0 45 pages !!! too many users having this problem
Do you still want answers to your questions since you're thinking of not getting it? What device are you planning to get in that case?

I am confused again When I first got to knw abt yellow tint I thought it must be on very few phones.. but I guess I am wrong ?
I really like xperia, got xperia active right now. Don't want to get something else than xperia s but I don't want to take risk !
If you "don't want to take the risk" then choose a different device. Otherwise, get it (It's your choice).

Do you have xperia s? or if any of the reader has it.. can I ask what "good thoughts" you have so u purchased it regardless of its yellow tint issue... ?
the case on SEs don't get scratches easy, I dropped mine about 12 times, no scratches on the case or cracks on the screen, only thing is when I used my foot to bring it back to me - bad idea.

Some people report not having it, treating it by pressing down on the screen, it fading away overtime or when the battery temperature is low, it staying forever, etc, so I don't know.
I think S2 or Sensation XE would be my choice if I don't buy XPS because SIII and HTC One X is out of my budget. These would be my first time purchasing any non sony ericsson mobile. I had W302, then X10 mini pro, then Active and now it would be XPS if there had been NO yellow tint issue ... But I would search on internet more on this and tell you guys which mobile I go with.
Any other choice than XPS, S2, XE with same budget?
Guys.. Even for yellow tint issue I am going for XPS I will try to purchase the phone from latest batch and will tell you how it goes !!! I hope I won't get the yellow tint issue :good:
if ever u get the yellow tint, you can get it replaced.
about scratches, mine just got its first bigtime,. fell about 2 feet on street and top corner border for the back cover easyly got dented! was thinking of melting it back to position but it may just look worse.,
soft matte finish = bigtime scratch magnet

I've had my Xperia S since initial release in the UK so I will answer these questions as best I can for you.
1. You'll be fine with not getting scratches too easily because I've only got a few scratches on my back cover and I've dropped it loads when I've been drunk.
2. Yes, those games you mentioned are available but the 3 newest ones to become available are Asphalt 7, The Amazing Spiderman and Sonic 4 Episode II and they all run perfectly without lag. I confirm that myself.
3. I believe I'm right in saying that you won't have the yellow tint issue because that was only on the earlier releases, like mine. AFAIK, all models made since then haven't had this issue. But even if you do, as mentioned you can send it to Sony and they will send you a replacement.
Not gonna answer question 4 because you've already bought this phone. I hope this has helped you

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
to my point of view you already answered the question yourself, if there's any doubt you did that replacement right and it isn't working like it should you likely made a mistake, only recommendation is to triple check the procedure you did by comparison to a replacement /tear down video and find the error, also check if you really bought the right hardware...
Following link shows some tutorials & stuff, time to solve some riddle, I'd guess..

Nothing till now
Dear friend, thank you for your fast response,
i contact them and i sent them a video and they answered this:
Thank you very much for ordering our product and for kindly bringing the issue to our attention.
For this problem we have confirmed with product department,the screen is not welded and needs to be reworked.
So what i have to do? i told them that i re-asseble the phone many times.. what means that the screen is not welded??
Thank you one more time my friend!!
