I just purchased this screen:
directfix.com/product/XX2544.html
After replacing my old one, I noticed the screen contrast is incredibly high, do you think this is a screen issue or improper installation?
having the same issue, driving me insane. any help?
Contrast too high
I recently shattered the screen on my HTC One X and had it replaced (the screen, not the whole handset). Now, like yours, the contrast is too high. Very poor in many, but oddly enough not all, apps. Text messages in particular look washed out. Adjusting the brightness doesn't help, just makes everything flatter
I had a go with the Screen Adjuster app, found via another thread. Looked promising but unfortunately it seems that its base line is where your screen is already at, so you can only decrease the contrast rather than increase it
I hope someone else can suggest a way of improving the contrast. It's not debilitating when using the phone, just irritating and not as good as my original screen.
Thanks
Same issue
I also replaced my screen and found the same issue, poor colors and high contrast as if there is a screen protection under the glass, any ideas?
Thanks!
Same here!
There should be some app/tweak to fix it?
Maybe Bravia engine?
Same Issue
Just got phone back from getting screen replaced and contrast is way too high! colours look terrible too, any suggestions to fix this yet?
Thanks
Problem solved...I think
I just got called back from the reseller and they say that there is a screen protection film between the display and the glass, as I suspected, I shall bring it back to the service and post here the result.

From what I read the one x LCD screen is fused to the digitizer so there shouldn't be anything between them that's removable

No they are not fused. The LCD and the glass screen are just glued together.Youtube: watch?v=ceHw6mezG60. My guess is that the reseller has in storage only LCDs and gorila glass, and when somebody orders a whole screen they just stick them together and send it to you as a whole. And sometimes they just forget to remove LCD protection before sticking them together...at least this is what I think.

Hi All,
I have checked the forums and tried finding the answer to this but haven't had any luck. I was putting on one of those "military grade" screen protectors on my wife's Sensation 4G last night (the kind that you apply water to the back of and then place them on the screen). Long story short, the screen works now (after putting her phone in rice overnight) but the screen is fairly dim and it flickers a bit. I know I will have to replace the LCD portion of the screen since that's the only part that got some water on it from the screen protector application.
Question is, does it matter which LCD replacement screen i purchase from eBay? i have read a bunch of threads that the digitizers are specific and may not work correctly if you get the wrong one, but does that hold true for the LCD itself or can we simply buy any new LCD replacement screen from eBay and install it on the phone (the original digitizer will still be used since the touchscreen works fine).
Any help would be greatly appreciated...i feel like a dope for causing this by applying a screen protector, even though my G2x didn't have this problem at all after applying the same screen protector from the same seller.
Sorry for bumping up an old topic, but I am interested in this too. Anyone can shed light to this matter please?
OP: Did you end up replacing your LCD? How did it go?
So hey you where installing a zagg screen protector?how much water did you put on the screen?

I still think those water application screen protectors are a ridiculous idea. Who's idea was it to use water on electronics?! Normal screen protectors do just as well. Make sure the lcd screen is the same physical size, pixel density, made specifically for the device, etc. Try pick the most reputable seller. But you WILL notice a difference in the screen, either colour, sharpness or response.
Ever since I got my Sensation and I learned and experienced for myself, the dust under the screen issues... I really started hating HTC. I really feel (and still do) that the Sensation was one of the sexiest looking smartphones ever designed, so I was truly sad to realize that it was plagued by such a design flaw...
Now I ask, former Sensation owners and others.... are you afraid about the Sensation issues following suite and plaguing future phones, such as the One S?
I think this can only be answered in a few weeks, when a sufficient number of devices have hit owners' hands and we see if the issue occurs or not. Speculation until then is not going to accomplish much.
But we know that even without testing.... for example, the Galaxy Nexus' chance of having dust under the screen is almost impossible, because the glass and the digitizer is fused together....
I don't know if the same applies for the One S, or if the same technology is carried over from the Sensation.
I read about this in one of the reviews on tech blogs, and the fused screen assembly does apply for the One S - hence the thinness. So if this makes the issue improbable, I guess there's our answer.
Sweet... even more of a reason to pick this up... peace of mind.
just found this thread after receiving my one s today and noticing something under the bottom right touch button
best described as a smudge/as if someone has used a marker pen under the right button, clearly visible when the button light comes up
sending mine back and getting it replaced, hope it's just a one off as it's really not meant to be like it is
HTC One S
I have my HTC One S for the last week and I can tell you I've yet to notice any dust under the digitizer. It seems like the amoled screens have to be fuzed to the digitizer because that's how my GS2 was and no dust under that one. I only keep a body glove feather case on it for extra grip. No screen protector or anything else and it stays in my pocket. No problems as of yet.
Dust under the screen is not an issue with amoled screens.

I work in a paper factory and my poor phone has been covered in paper dust. I just wipe it off and it looks like new. No dust under my screen.

There nothing inherent in AMOLED screens that prevents dust - my HTC Desire was full of dust a the end.
Super AMOLED, however, which the One S has, with a fused screen & digitiser should be immune to dust under the screen.
I've never seen HTC use an Amoled screen on a Desire. It's always been from what I've seen LCD or super LCD. Unless I'm reading the wrong specs for the desire or desire HD. LCD consist of the panel and the digitizer, they are not fuzed together and HTC has a terrible rap for not setting them right, or not sealing them correctly.

The Desire originally came with an AMOLED screen, they switched to LCD when supplies of AMOLED were low.

That would explain a lot. I just know with all the amoled devices I have owned in the past, not a single one of them got dust under the digitizer. They did however have a dead pixel or so after a while of use. I want to know how long the olephobic or however you spell it coating on the One S is going to last.
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
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.

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.

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.
Hello guys, i just noticed today this hairline tiny black strip on my display, thought it was dust but it didn't wipe off. My phone is a week old and i never really had a device with defective pixels before so i can't really tell what this is. I ran the defective pixels fix videos for 30 minutes but that didn't help. Sorry for the image quality, i don't have a decent camera to capture those tiny pixels.
I also noticed that i have light bleeding from all edges when i view the device from an angle, is that normal for the nexus 5?
Could it be that there are gaps between the glass and the display that allow dust to go beneath the glass, and this is just a dust particle under the glass?

The light bleeding is normal I've seen on all Nexus 5 i have owned, the "Dead Pixel" is a little hard to judge , but in my opinion as its not solid square(s) i think it may be dust or debris.
I had purple spots start showing up on my first one. That doesn't look too bad but it would bug me too.
Do you think that more dust could get in if that's the case? I have a local warranty and i'm leaving this country after a month, if the issue won't grow bigger than this, then i may just live with it as i don't think LG would give me a replacement unit here.
Not sure if it would be an issue for them as the phone isn't dust proof,I'm no way saying its cool as it would annoy some people. I guess best thing is contract them and see what they say mate

It looks like dust to me, but to know it for sure I recomend you to take it to a LG Center.
They may not give you a replacement unit, but at least you will know what the problem is.
Hi,
I have recently dropped my Mi 4C (3gb version, if that even makes a difference), cracked the screen and damaged the digitizer. I searched for a replacement screen & frame assembly on ebay and out of a dozen similar options chose one. I received and installed the screen without issues, but the picture quality is rather disappointing. The screen is not as bright as the original one with a noticeable yellow tint. If the latter can be remedied a bit by adjusting color temperature from the settings, the screen brightness is a real bummer. The original screen wasn't anything exceptional when it comes to using the phone outside in the sunlight, but the replacement one is just miserable... This leads me to my question:
Do any of you have experience ordering a replacement screen and actually getting a high-quality one? Where do you order them from?
Cheers,
A.
PS. Maybe I would have been luckier ordering a screen separate from the frame -- there are even more merchants to choose from, but I thought I'd save myself some gluing trouble...
This one was like the original
Hi, i've damaged my screen too and ai bought this :
