Hey folks;
Today I noticed for the first time that my phone had a small rectangular yellowish patch on the lower third of the right hand side of the display. I googled the issue and found some similar problems. It's not screen tint, it's a discolored patch; otherwise the screen is great. I've owned the phone for less than a year. What should I do? There is a little damage on the upper right corner from dropping it once soon after I bought it, will that void my warranty? Any input would be appreciated.

Woud it be possible to supply some pictures?
Edit: I believe that only water damage will void the warranty.

Wow... That's really strange.
It looks like it's been warped by high heat. Do you ever leave the phone in your car or in the sun?
Could be a device defect. So strange that It would happen now unless it's something you did. Was it onset, or did it yellow gradually?
Personally, I would just take it in.. But, depending on how this actually happened, they might claim that it was intentional. (they always do anyways)

A few weeks ago i got a new back cover of the HTC 7 pro while mine was the paint going off. and i just leave the first one as it is, and used the new one for some weeks now and i must say its the same faulty hardware, the metal is good, but the paint is going so easy off. and i handle my unit with care, really care! now i have scrubed all the silver paint from the first one and it shines now like a new one. and the letters where fallen out to before i modified it. so if somebody has the same phone and problems, this is what you could make it to and for the future, HTC don't paint the back cover any more, please. with just a little sweat on it it goes easily off!
i uploaded some pictures, of one piece like it is before, one after. and then the two side by side...

thats the truth behinf the manufacturing of HTC. but they have an really really good customer service. i ordered twice the back cover and get it (twice) and a battery, but that was an mistake of HTC.
I do not know where is the right place to post this but I am trying here. Mods can move if so is needed.

My son's ZTE Light V9 tablet dropped and the screen just look like the picture below. What would be the problem?
Is the LCD screen or Touch screen that is bad? I am guessing it is the LCD screen. Can anyone advise and where can I get this replacement?

Many thanks in advance
The LCD screen is definitely screwed, but the touch-screen is probably damaged as well.

Does it worth it to get it replaced or can I get this done myself?
Have a search on Google to see if you can find repair videos or strip-down instructions. It depends on your level of competence as to whether you feel like trying it, but it may cost almost as much to pay for it to be repaired as to buy a replacement.
Many thanks. I havent been able to get any repair videos or instruction. I think I should be able to do it if I can find the parts at reasonable prices
Anyone know where I can get LCD screen for ZTE Light V9? Anyone selling their old one too?

I'm noticing that after having the M8 since release date that the screen is starting to separate from the body in the lower right corner. you can't notice it but of you push on that area slightly firmer than you normally would you can feel it bend and flex as though its no longer connected to the body. I've had it in a case and have dropped it maybe twice from a small distance to carpet. something you should keep an eye out for.

HTC want me to secure $299 with a credit card so they can have the option to tell me it was my fault, really... I asked if they would give the option to get my phone back and they said no. My reply was, why would I buy this phone again knowing it has this issue.
That sucks.., what happened to the customer is always right? Just kidding they will probably say you took the phone apart to try mess with its guts.
Good morning everyone, this morning my S6 flat started having this weird problem..

This happens randomly, looks like the "new" screen gets compressed and distorted into the bar, as i scroll left and right i can see the distortion scroll along my finger.
I tried restoring the phone but no luck, recording the screen results in a perfect video without bars and distortion.
I will try flashing a new firmware or downgrade to an old stock fw..
My first guess is that the screen is somewhat damaged.
I've been super careful and never dropped it.
Stock 7.0 EU rom.
Anyone got the same problem and fixed it somehow?
Thank you in advance!
I recorded a little video of the problem:
It's look like a hardware problem. Maybe you've dropped it, or can it be water damage?

Sadly i never dropped and never got it wet
I noticed it happens when the phone gets warm, could be a GPU problem like the RROD on the xbox? :silly:
Hello, I have an unusual problem Well, I once wrote here on the forum whether other users of this phone Asus Rog Phone 5 Do they have a hard time with the volume buttons because in my copy they were stuck when pressed? Today I was cleaning the phone and I noticed a crack on the back cover from the button side Oddly enough, the buttons have been working perfectly for some time, they click I do not know when it could have been damaged because the device has never fallen down I suspect that the damage could have happened spontaneously due to the badly glued housing, the stresses that arose as a result could have contributed to the malfunction of the volume buttons Can you advertise it or has anyone heard of a similar case?

Could it burst by itself?
The only thing that would generally cause the phone to crack on it's own like that is a swollen battery. Hopefully that is not the case with your device.
Nothing is swollen, everything works, even the buttons click and normally recede The warranty is unlikely to cover it, unless they believe it, it makes sense to advertise?
not sure but I had the rog phone 2 and it cracked near the hole on the back and I never dropped it I now have the rog phone 5 and it cracked kind of like that one mine is in a case I'm wondering if it has something to do with heat
