Does anybody here has this little problem with lightbleeding from sides of the screen? On mine I have a little portion on the top center of the screen that has this problem. Do you think I can return it as a defective phone and get a new one without this "problem"?

Yes! you can return it as a defective phone and get a new one without this problem if you are under warranty , since this is a hardware issue (assuming it hasn't been dropped or tampered)
Yes I have it too in the upper center of the screen. But it was noticeable in complete white screen and highest brightness settings like only during bootanimation. So I didn't opt for a replacement.

Ive had my fuze / touch pro for about 2 months now and a problem with the screen has appeared. Twords the bottom, about where the slider is for TF3D, all the way across the screen and maybe 1/4" tall the screen is lighter and to the very left and right it gets worse. Hope that made some kind of since.
Has anyone heard of this problem with this phone? I'm wondering if it will be covered under the 1 year manufacturer warranty. I didn't drop it or anything so I think it should.
If it should be covered under mfgr warranty do they expect you to just send out your phone and be phone less for how ever long or will they send a replacement then have you send the broken phone back?
Thanks.
So I have a HTC Fuze from At&t.
Last week I noticed a small circle under the LCD screen but didn't think anything of it. I already have that issue almost everyone else has with rectangular "boxes" under the lcd that did not affect performance.
Now this circle is entirely different. Pixels still light up under it but now the touchscreen thinks I'm always touching that one small spot on the bottom right. I can't do anything unless I slide it open and navigate via keyboard. The hard keys still work on the front.
So what to do now?
1. Replace lcd although I searched this forum and it doesn't seem the most popular route
2. get At&t to replace it / HTC, doubtful since it looks like it could be my fault and I didn't buy a warrenty plan anyways.
3. buy another phone
Any ideas? Anyone have the same problem?

Do you have a screen protector on it? The easiest & cheapest thing to do is just replace the screen. It's not very hard if you're the least bit technical.
Hi there. I have a pebble blue16gb S3 that's currently on the fritz. Some people are recommending a jtag service to force a stock rom back onto my s3. I've got others that are telling me my emmc chip is probably bad and that a jtag probably won't help my issue at all. Anyway, I've been cruising craigslist and I found a 16gb pebble blue s3 that has a cracked screen. In the pictures I was sent the crack is right down the middle. The guy selling it says the LCD display wont show up at all, but in some pictures the back button and the other button light up as well as the blue notification light on top were working in the picture. He's selling the device for $90. I checked the IMEI he gave me on swappa.com/ESN and its said its ready for activation. I asked the craigslist seller how the device was damaged and he said he got into a car accident going 60mph and he was hit by a drunk driver and the phone hit the dash. I have a buddy of mine who is willing to take the motherboard from this phone and switch it out with my phone, but he expressed concern that the fact the LCD won't display anything and he thinks the motherboard may have suffered some kind of damage in the crash causing the device not to display. He also noted that he has seen phones with cracks all over and the lcd still displays something. Can anyone shed some light as to how much impact a Verizon SIII motherboard can absorb and if its possible for the screen to totally not work, but the board itself be fine? Thank you very much!
Im not sure if this was the right thread to post this question either, but I hope it is. Thanks!
Also just wondering, is the notification light at the top and the lighted back button and the function button by home at the bottom run through the same connection that controls the display?

I repair these devices and I'll say that you should just stay away from an S3 with a blacked out LCD. The repair for the LCD is about $300. Just a cracked glass may run you anywhere from $80-$150 for repair. The motherboard could be damaged, but there is really no way to tell unless the screen is on. I doubt it would be broken, though... I would look at it to see if the metal frame around the screen were bent or warped. If not, I doubt it would be. If the soft keys light up, you should also hear the volume turn up.... this checks to see if the speaker works.
But with a busted LCD... too much cost to fix that and not worth it. May as well buy a new one.

So should I just pass on this craigslist phone? All I wanted was the board from it and switch it out with my motherboard that is on the fritz.
Is this for waranty or not, device is old 2 months and yellow spot appears on lcd?
Bump
Anyone know does this issue cover warranty? I mean will sony accept this and fix my device?
I've got the same issue on mine, but rather worse and mine is nearly a year old. Had no issues up until about a month ago an then there was a small issue and it's been gradually getting worse and worse.

Yeah my damn phone same deal, I just posted a thread as well, right by the change port, interestingly enough if I hold the phone in my hand when I would go to lock push the power button, my thumb is right where this mark is as well, so I am now wondering if the slight side pressure over time has done this.

Possibly, it can't really be charge port related in my case as i don't use. I haven't plugged the USB into my phone for about 4 or 5 months now. I always use a dock/cradle with magnetic charging in it.

I sent mobile today at t-centar,now i need to wait and see will they accept warranty fir this. Il report back when i get device
I've just had mine repaired for a very similar discoloration under warranty. My screen also started to lift - there's some conjecture that the discolouration is the glue melting!
Had mine delivered back to me this morning after sending it back for this issue. Came back repaired with new screen protectors and new bezle fitted. Through warrenty
guys, can you pelase confirm it the replaced screen is the same as the original? I had it replaced but the screen I got is not the same as the old one..while viewing in extreme sunlight, i could clearly see the LEDs on the display...but now all i see are vertical dots...seems like they fitted a chinese display that looks exactly the same...

Mine had dots before I sent it away and the screen it came back with also has dote, although now they seem less visable. They were extremely noticable before. Also, my pictures look amazing compared to before.
Before sending it away it was on 4.4.4 but now its on 5.1.1 so weather that has something to do with it or not I dont know.
Ok finally got device back, i got completely "new" unit, only motherboard is my old one..so full cover, digitizer and lcd is new one.
Hey everyone,
Sorry if this issue has been discussed before. Couldn't find any similar issue for the A8 2018. I am having a bright, thin green line exactly at the middle of the display for a week now. Bought the phone five months ago, not a single drop, screen protector plus case, so I am quite sure there was no physical damage.
I tried booting the phone in safe mode and dialing *#0*# for the color test: green, red, blue as it might reset any stuck pixels to no avail. The line went away just once after turning off the display and back on.
It sucks if the screen needed to be replaced just after five months of usage. I lost my receipt as well. I was thinking that it might be a software issue and can be solved before sending it to Samsung for screen repair?
Does not sound like software issue sounds like you have a defective screen.

Fortunately, you can get a free replacement from your carrier or Samsung directly

I will try my luck and see if Samsung will replace it for free as I lost my receipt when I moved
