I was just wondering if anyone with a grey one S has noticed white spots on the back of the phone. Looks almost like the covering has been burnt/ or overheated and caused a white spot on the back. Really weird. although because i'm rooted i'm guessing Three UK are unlikely to replace it!

Just run the RUU if you are returning it. As for the white spots Id say bring it back and see if you can get it replaced.
i've run the RUU before but im sure it says its been "tampered" in the bootloader?! I know this is a hardware thing, but will they not look at the software too?! maybe i'll just try!

This is the second fuze ive owned... and this is also the second time this has happened. In the middle of the screen there is a small block of like a rainbow of colors... but you can only see it in certain light...
Has anyone else ever come across this?

Mine too.. But i have a screen protector on it so I figured maybe its the screen protector? never really check it without the screen protection.
Yes.
My first fuze did this after a few days, its an exact square with sort of a frame, I was thinking it was condensation, but my phone has been dry always....
I thought it was weird that it was square shaped and a almost perfect square.
Anyone know what this is?
Yep...nothing unusual for raph unfortunatelly...my old post:

BTW, this is well known issue by HTC so replacement is in most cases done free of charge as a part of warranty. Eventhough I've heard that in some cases in UK, HTC was demanding some kind of payment for replacement.
Anyway, this cannot be fixed in any other way but replacing the screen....afaik
I was told that it means that the screen under the digitizer is broken. Most likely from pressure on the middle of the screen.

Oh man, mine just expanded Can I know what did you guys do?
Pressure between flat wires, conductive tapes and backside of LCD screen causes the problem. You should take apart your Raphael to see the back of LCD. There is a very thing black tape around the display. Check it for any kinf of damage. If there is no sign of penetration, make the same thin tape from any kind of office tape and place it over dark one. I hope this can help you.
Be a HTC Indiana Jones, take the danger and DIY!
i was just about to start a post about this. the middle of my screern (75% of the screen) has these rainbow swirls and they form a perfect rectangle. you can also see a grid of dots. once i noticed this square i started havin problems where its as if someone is pressing the touchscren just on top right corner of this rectangle. so i cant go through menus and it will randomly go away. it also happens on other random locations. can someone explain what i should do?
Mine just did the same thing. The phone seems to work normally. I called and I am sending it in for warranty repair. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future? If they replace the screen, do they have some process in place to prevent the same issue? I really love this phone!
Oh, and now my iPhone loving friends are all saying, "You shoulda got an iPhone!" I dont want a crappy iPhone, I just want a good screen! This is my second phone already.....I have never dropped or abused it in any way.... I really wish they used better quality screens. i can do tons more stuff with my phone that my "iPhone friends" cannot....
UPDATE: to anyone who gets this problem. I finally got around to calling ATT and they say its not a known problem so its not covered within warrenty. They want 500 to fix it.... Then I called HTC and they said this is whats known as a Newton ring and its due to pressure applied to the screen so they wont fix it under warrenty. Now they are asking for 200 for it to be fixed. Not worth the fix if u ask me. Thier rep was pretty shocked it was on a Fuze and said hes seen this before and they never fix it under warrenty so its not worth sending it in unless im prepared for the bill.
I just went to Verizon and replaced my thunderbolt. However it seems the corner is broken, it doesnt seem to be attached to anything and there is some light leakage, Has anyone else had this problem?
What do you mean by broken corner? Just having light leakage? If that's the case, it's relatively common. You can either keep returning till you get a good one, or do like a few of us and buy some black caulk and seal it up that way. I did this and I don't have any issues with it and you can't even tell that I did anything to it...even if I tell you to look for it.
If I push harder then normal I can see some lcd squirm in the corner plus it seems to be slightly off, but I might just be insane. If I can find a way to show it in a pic I'll upload it
Might want to take it back.
Sounds like there may be a defect. I would suspect there is an issue. I have pressed and not seen the any interference with the LCD, or any movement.
I've peaked around eBay and I found a few different digitalizer plus LCD replacements. What's the difference between g23 and 710d? I can seem to find either of those numbers on my phone box. Also how hard is it to replace the entire screen?
I have some experience with this. Either replace the digitizer/lcd assembly or sell the phone and get a new one. It's possible to replace just one, but it will always look like **** when you're done, and it's not just a matter of ungluing the two layers.
If you are willing to buy a new assembly, is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Make sure you work in a clean area. Also, be sure to get the att screen. The international one does look cooler with its HTC logo, but it's not a perfect fit. What that means is a lot of light bleed on the edges and capacitive buttons not lighting up at all.
Best of luck either way!
Viper Rom, baby!
I've replaced mine 3 times so far. The first time you replace it , it WILL be a major pain more than likely. I recommend you find a GOOD video on YouTube or something and follow it closely. (Careful there are a lot of videos that are just atrocious..). Also as stated, get the full assembly for LCD+digitizer and to be safe, get the one with at&t logo. I have heard that the international one works but the fit might not be perfect. Anyway, good luck.

Does anyone have a reliable source for the at&t screen?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, that's just the digitizer :/ We need the digitizer + LCD.
I can't find a reliable source of the entire assembly. Debating getting both of these and putting it together myself:

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=170992426980
This one is AT&T and has capacitive light redirection things. The only one I bought that came with that
Also eBay has all the tape u need for LCD to frame, LCD to digitizer, and one for the digitizer to frame
May want to read this thread before buying an lcd. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164760

Have you installed the screen yet? I'm doubtful that it will fit in the AT&T/Telstra model.

I havnt tried to turn it on but it says AT&T and the prefit looks nice. I will keep you up to date after I get the other parts and I put it together. The battery is dead at the moment

Any updates here? If you've installed it, how's the fit, do the capacitive buttons work, and is the contrast/sharpness correct?

OK so the first phone I got wouldn't work with any screen. Problem cause it wouldn't. Turn on from the beginning. The second phone came. I plugged in LCD with green cable said at&t at top from source above and it wouldn't turn on so I plugged in another one from the source above it had a yellow cable said htc and the Sony one that ssid I had also turned on. The HTC ones seem to be slightly smaller but after I put the sticky tape I think it will all be OK. I just have to do it rite. Also, both screens from supplier above look remanufactured cause they both have black tape and the digitize seem to me to be thinner / glass not so thick. But they come with good black paint and light redirect things for soft buttons. So in short. Buying from him is unpredictable. As I got to different. Screen types. I have only bought two from him. I will post a picture after I assemble the phone today
So I got some good news for my Att version. I ordered this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Full-LC...low-Green-Flex-For-HTC-One-X-XL-/360612529957
1. its not a sony, its a sharp. Its yellow on one side and full green on the other.
2. mine came with a sony screen. I killed my old screen getting it off (just lights up white). I booted my phone with the old sony screen, waited till the phone went to sleep, then swapped the screens. The sharp screen fired up just fine.
3. This was a perfect fit with the HTC logo. the ambient light sensor lined up, and it has light guides that line up. Also there was not the 2mm gap with the international versions.
4. One problem. The "holes" in the touch panel where the misaligned light guides/buttons are still there. So you will see the leds on the botton assembly when they light up. I recommend painting the blank spots over with a few layers of black paint.
I think what is happening is the international version has the buttons directly over top the led bar and does not use light guides.
After 2+ weeks, I just noticed light bleed (in total darkness) at the bottom left corner, corner of recent menu button. Anyone else getting light bleed?
You can only see it while the recent button light flashes on.
Not on a screen tough....
You talking about gap between screen and metal side (left corner)...yes at night I see light coming from there...we all got that.
Cheap ass samsung:victory::laugh:
Actually, I have it on the right side at where the curved glass meets the metal. Didn't notice it for the first week though which is weird honestly because I scrutinize my devices when I first get them. But yeah it's only a minor annoyance, not worth exchanging it.
Yes, the gap between the screen and the metal ring. Anyone Not have this issue?
I get led bleed.
When the green charging led is on and its really dark in the room. You can see the green bleeding under the black trim and onto the lcd.
Other then that i havent seen any bleeding.
I remember the white models of some of the samsungs phones had bad bleeding.
white note edge
I have it all around the screen on the top and bottom and 2 sodes it looks like its glowing
I guess I'm lucky. No led bleed here but I also have the black version. Are yall using the white?
white note edge
Ok thanks for reply and yes i have the white one
white note edge
It was a fault with the fone i took it back to carphone warehouse and swoped for a black one rhanks for u help
Yeah ive heard quite a few people with the white one complaining of the bleed. I played with the white one in the AT&T store and saw the same thing. Thats why i went with thevplain ol' black. The white looks much better imo but i couldnt deal with the bleeding
white note edge
Yh samsung told me it was a fault so i took it back and got black i do think blsck is better the back is cheap feeling and the edge looks cheap to glad i got black now
I haven't seen any bleeding from the black Verizon Edge so far, at least from the screen to the home button area. Verizon has a cheap, but very awesome and good feeling case that covers the light bleed between the framework. I never noticed it in the 3 days before I got the case though. Has anyone noticed light bleed on their black Edge's so far?

Yeah I read your post about swapping them out. I originally wanted the white because it looked cleaner, but now that I have the black and after reading all the posts I'm so glad Verizon only has the black one available. I don't blame you, I wouldn't pay that much for something I wasn't completely happy with either.
So hey guys.
I bought myself a refurbished Nexus 5 off of AliExpress. I love everything about the phone except what seems to be something odd with the screen. Mostly works fine, but quite often grey and white vertical stripes appear down the screen (as you can see in the attached photos) They seem to appear when I swipe in the same place a lot and will disappear after a minute or two, or sometimes if I swipe the other way. Almost like a smudge or a smear but with what looks like the light from the screen. It's very noticeable on white and grey backgrounds.
I just wanted to know if this is a normal thing for this type of LCD screen or whether you think I should contact Ali regarding them sending a new one? I could probably live with it if it's a normal thing, but it's annoying and noticeable enough for me to have posted on here.
Thanks in advance for any answers I get.

You gave us very hard job to do. I don't want to put you in a bad mood, but I don't see that stripes on mine.

I don't think there's much you can do unless you open the phone and ensure the connections for the screen are firmly in place.
Water damage?
