I'd like to thank you instead! This is XDA, no one forces anyone to do anything on here. The OP of this post made his own choice of opening up his phone and drilling the holes.
Many people have done the same mod and no one else is facing the same problem. It could well be the OP drilled a little bit too hard which makes sense considering the screen is showing signs of damage.
OP: I was looking for spare speaker parts myself but have not seen any yet ( UK ).
Can you take a picture of the damage?

Does the damage coincide with where you put the holes? For example where the bluish marks are on the screen?

no, from what I'm seeing it looks like there may be something under the back cover which is causing pressure on the display. that does not look like light separation.
Take it back apart and see what you see.

This is what you should have started this thread with. You already know what caused the issue, and you're trying to get a free replacement on the phone by using Fraud.
I realize this is going to come across as offensive, but you were dumb enough to sit on your phone and now you're dumb enough to try to get XDA to help you attempt fraud against Google so you don't have to pay the money to get it fixed. Read the forum rules about illegal activity.

It's probably only visible on a dark screen because those are the areas where the actual display are under stress from the phone being bent. It won't necessarily make it BRIGHTER.... just more easily noticed. Kind of like if you touch your computer monitor. touch the screen where it's lighter, and you don't really notice much of anything. touch where it's darker, and you'll more easily see the distortion.

The update is also going to fix cracked screens and dust
This is what we call "lying" ladies and gentlemen. They told you something that made you go away, that's all customer service is concerned with right now.
I heard the new update will actually change your screen to SAMOLED+ which is why it's taking so long.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong. I actually heard that the update spawned a tiny unicorn and it is poking holes in the LCD causing dead pixels.
Hi guys,
I'm new to the community but hope to be part of it!
Anyways I used to be an iphone user but switched to the skyrocket and love it! Its been about 3 weeks and everythings been great. I actually decided not to use a screen cover and have gotten no scratches thus far.
However today i noticed under a bright light theres two horizontal whitish lines on my screen, both near the top each only going half way across the screen. I can see it most clearly under bright light and almost not at all under a regular light and if I look at my phone at an angle (from the bottom to the top or vice versa) It looks more like a smudge (that cant be rubbed off) than a sratch because it looks thicker than a scratch, almost a discoloration. However it looks fine with the screen on. What could this be? Should i be concerned or go to the Att store? Thx guys!!

So I sent back one already for this and my referb I got back is not nearly as bad but they are still there. Basically, when I am using the phone in a dark area and the screen gives black , not off, there are black dots on the screen. This one is not nearly as bad but is it worth trying another one?

I see a few on mine also in the same situation(black screen but not off). I don't see them very much though. I guess I got lucky and got small ones. (one of the only situation a guy likes to admit he has small ones lol)
Was browsing the xda app today on the dark theme and I found two dead black spots on my screen. Thankfully they only show up on very dark grey backgrounds and are black. Tried all the dead pixel finders on the market but they don't show up on those...very odd.
Now comes the decision if I fake some things wrong to get a returb or keep it until it gets worse...

This is a common occurrence from what I know. There its actually a whole other thread about this same thing from a couple of days ago. I wouldn't exchange it because it's 50/50 whether you'll get one that's better or worse.

Has something to do with the manufacturing process of the AMOLED screens. Fairly normal from what I have read on here.

My phone has the same issue. Several dark patches all over on a dark background while in a dark room. That is the only time i ever notice it; doesn't bother me in the least. Other people have sent in phone after phone, every one of them having these these splotches.
It's from the way they glue the screens together and the glue doesn't dry or something in areas.

This happens to all phones, and led/lcd screens for that matter. People just notice and complain more (rightfully so) on more expensive models. 2 of my last 3 phones before this had at least 1 dead pixel.
You should be able to replace it under warranty, no?
Personally my worst fear isn't dead pixels though, it would be waking up to find a naked Rex Ryan fondling my feet...

It its replaceable but you're taking a chance at getting a phone with worse blotches. The OP in this thread had blotches on his replacement phone too.

The blotches are different than dead pixels. Dead pixels are an instant replacement even if just 1.
That's actually a "problem" with all super ambled screens. It happens when the screen isn't lit correctly or bright enough. It's normal and hhappens on all of the screens.

When I saw that I asked him right away if he dropped it or if his pockets were tight. He responded no to both. I've never seen him drop it, in fact the phone is still flawless.

Yea after seeing the updated photo there's no doubt that was caused by pressure. Sat on old phone before by accident and the screen did the EXACT same thing.
I wouldn't say this is a screen issue, just a damaged phone by accident :*(
