Problems with TP Screen

Hi guys,
About 3 weeks ago I noticed that in certain light, I could see a grid of dots, starting from 5mm from each side of the screen. These dots were arranged in some a regular pattern, so I assummed it was screen sensors, that I had not see before.
However last week, I noticed this same area was now becoming strangely colored. Its difficult to explain, but viewing the screen at an angle or in certain light, that area of the screen looks like the screens plama is leaking. Its similar to if you put a drop of clear oil between the screen protector and the screen itself. This is definatly occuring on the internal part of the screen. So im going to call up HTC this week, and if they request me to send it back, do I need to un-hard-spl the phone? If so how do I do this?
Thanks

I had similar issue with my old Himalaya in the past. It seems like an oil spot between surfaces under specific angle. Now I have another problem with screen on my Rafi-Some blue 'clouds' visible all the time after accident with my car(I lost my phone with case on the parking place and someone-maybe me also drove very closely around it,so the device is just a little bit damaged,but not so much).

I have same problem on my Touch Pro, but my seller say to me this fabrication problem...not important problem...but its very distrubity

I faced this problem in Touch dual before, and the screen was replaced in warranty.
now i've the same in my TP, but this time it clearly decreased the touch screen sensitivity...
i'd say go for replacement.

I encountered the newton's ring problem-term given to me by a HTC staff. I got the handset from O2 but they seemed clueless about this. The problem is that it disappears and then re-appears randomly. Third time I have seen it. I have also encountered the 'oil spill' effect under specific lighting. I can't see it anymore though.
Will drop into an O2 shop asap.

my Fuze has this oil spill effect too.. going to try to put it in a bag of desiccant overnight to see if its just moisture

Screen not responding

Hey all, been having my touch pro for about a year and a half and it has been great so far. Up till today, when I was at work, i noticed this little blue dot on my screen, thought it was nothing and ignored it. The phone was working fine till about few minutes later, when I checked on it the screen just wouldn't respond. Note that everything else works, the buttons and keyboard work, the home clock keeps ticking, but yet the screen just would not do anything. However when the backlight dims (due to inactivity) and when i touch the screen, it goes back to full brightness (the usual) which means that it is still working. So what's going on and how would I go about fixing this?

It's possible something is pressing down on the screen continuously, do you have any snap on cases? Also, this blue dot, how big is it, and what is its shape? Is it a dead pixle? Perhaps the point of impact something hit the screen at to disable it's functionality. Have you tried a hard reset?

So an update to my situation. Can confirm that this is 100% not a software problem, but a hardware one. No cases on the phone, just a screen protector. The blue dot, more like blue patch has now become bigger. :S
When the screen is turned off, it looks like a patch of blue underneath the screen, and on a white background that patch is very white and bright.
I then removed my screen protector to see if it's just some ink stuck in there as I was getting quite desperate. The blue patch was still there, and is underneath the screen. I grabbed the screen protector and decided to use the sticky side of it to sort of remove the adhesive glue that was on the screen and voila, the blue patch dissapeared. And the screen was again useable.. But when I however press on the affected area, it will filled with the blue patch once again. I can redo this process a million time, but afterall, the phone is still not useable as a slight touch on the area and the screen will no be useable.
Any thoughts?

Sounds like the top layer of your screen is just worn out. The best fix is to replace it most likely. You could try using another screen protector or two to stiffen the top layer and see if that fixes it, but you'd probably lose sensitivity. That spot is caused because the film of oil between the top and bottom layer is non existant at that point, and both the top and bottom layers are literally stuck together. I believe the oil is suppose to prevent this.

[Completed] Bright lines appearing under the screen, visible even with the screen turned off/batt

As i could not find a thread of my phone i'll post it here instead...
so i have a problem with my phone...
today i started noticing kinda brighter lines on my 5.95 inch screen, like horizontally really close to the bottom edge of the screen,covering about 1x5 millimeters and then some more tiny stripes there, and also like vertically some stripes really close to the right edge of my screen.
I first tought that something is on my screen or under my screen protector but then i realized that its like under my screen...
I tought that these were just some dead pixels or smthng but
When i turned my screen off i was still able to see these lines
i tried removing the battery but i was still able to see 'em
I literally have no idea what it is and i have never heard of it or seen it.

Hi,
Will need to know your exact device make and model to help point you in the right direction for help. ?

[Q] xperia z3 yellow tint at the bottom screen

Hi...i was wondering what happened to my xperia z3...after 2 weeks of using my device fixed by sony service center due to broken screen which i paid for almost half of the price...i thought i was stress free because it was already fixed...but i was so dissapointed when i found out there are yellow tint color at the bottom of my screen especially when viewing white and gray color...this is so unreasonable...does anyone happened to experience this...?

I do, don't know when it happened but I just realized the yellow tint at the bottom of my screen.

Just a thought. Don't let this phone stand too much in the sun and over heat him. Glass becomes quickly hot.
Now, in the case of a repaired phone, it is understandable, maybe they could have done a better job since you paid for the repair.
And another thing, keep the screen away from magnetic fields.

Its a yellow glue, they should replace your screen for free of charge. Xperia S had this problem very common.

Little round white spots on screen 2 replacements.

Hi guys,
I have replaced the screen in my nexus 5 twice now. I purchased the screens from Amazon. The first screen on white backgrounds I would kind of see a square image on the screen in white. It kind of looked like the outline of the battery. It also had a few white spots on the screen. I tried loosening some of the screws but it didn't help. I contacted the seller and he recommended another replacement. He sent out another screen plus digitizer and frame.
The new screen arrived and I put it in. This screen is a lit better. I know only get 3 tiny white spots about the size of the screws in the nexus 5. Two look like they are where the battery would be inside the phone. The third is about 3 quarters of the way up the screen in the middle and slightly to the left. Why does this keep happening? Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this?
One thing I have noticed is in the dark with the screen on around the sides of the phone in places I can see slivers of light shining around the screen. It seams that the tape that the screen provider used was not sticky enough. Could this be what is causing the white spots? The screen seams firmly attached at the top and bottom just the sides. I heated it up with a blow dryer and held the screen down till it cooled. It slowly goes back to the way it was.
Thanks,
Rocky

Light bleeding from the edges of the frame in a dark environment is not uncommon with 3rd party screens. Putting on a case can help a lot.
As for the white spots, it may be a manufacturing defect that has nothing to do with the way you assembled the phone.

So there is nothing that can be done about the white spots? I don't understand how both screens did this. Seams like there is a very high failure rate. From comparison and matching numbers s to the stock digitizer the replacement seams to be a stock digitizer and frame. The white spots are annoying.

It's possible that both screens came from the same production run. I used screens from aliexpress and only one had a bit of light bleed around the frame. Once I put on a case, you could not see the light bleed.
None of the replacement screens had any dead or stuck pixels or hot spots.
