What's the best way to get rid of yellow spots? Will i just have to wait a couple of days in the hope the glue is completely dry? Or will i have to keep a white background on maximum brightness for a long period of time, or show some UV light/sunlight directly to the screen for a couple of hours? Or will i have to open the screen again, but what would i need to be looking and doing then exactly?
When you put the phone in the freezer for 15 minutes the spots are almost gone, but they reappear after the display gets warmer. I don't think dryer would have any benefit here, or will it?
If you use white background, the spots are visible like burning-like, when you use pitch black background you see this "black eating" effect on the corners strongly that wasn't as noticeable before the screen swap. The display itself is OEM original, and the first swap was successful, didn't result in any yellow spots.
I read that it was a common thing for iPhone 4s back in the days as the glue wasn't dry enough from the assembly line, but after a couple of days the spots went away.
it looks like this:

i just got my nexus s a week ago, and i've noticed some spots on the screen that do not come off.. (since about the 3rd day i had it).
the most noticable area is on the right side. it's looks like a rectangle about a half cm wide and half the length of the screen. whatever i do it just WONT COME OFF!! also, if a breath on it, the rest of the screen fogs up except that area.
do you think it's worth asking for an exchange? it doesn't affect the actual screen itself, it just bothers me when i see it. and when i swipe my fingers, the part i swiped turns up as a gray streak, but the 'permanent rectangle' looks the same. no smudges on it. there's also two other tiny dots as well...
I bought an HTC Evo 4G LTE on Friday along with a screen protector and a case. Anyway, I'm no good at putting on the screen protectors, so I asked the phone guy at best buy to put it on. Fast forward to this evening and I noticed what appeared to be 3 small specks of dust that got under the protector, with a larger one. As I was inspecting them, I found that they were actually tiny black circles (think speck of dust size or even dead pixel size). I'm going to be taking the phone back tomorrow for a replacement, but in the meantime, I'm curious what these are? I've done a lot of googling and the closest two pieces of information I've been able to find say they are either dead pixels because they are about the right size and show up best against a white background, or that they are moisture damage.
The question is, which seems most likely? Can dead pixels manifest themselves as circles rather than squares? And also could moisture damage be so minimal that only four little spots appeared? I should point out that the screen protector was the variety that uses a liquid sprayed on the phone to ensure a good clean overlay on the screen, and also that the salesperson used some blasts of compressed air directly on the screen to try and clean it before applying the protector (I've heard thats a big no-no).
I had a similar problem once with a no name chinese tab.
I noticed a bunch of black spots (square) the size of dead pixels all over the screen. I removed the protector and wiped the screen clean. It was tiny specks of dust indeed.
While blowing hot air onto the screen is a big NO-NO, IMO blowing compressed air wouldn't cause damage. Its the heat that damages the LCDs.
Curious how specks of dust would produce that effect, considering they are not uniformly shaped. Anyway, I've got my fingers crossed now that the problem really is dust rather than a bad screen, since I would hate to start this new phone off the same way I started my last one (returned for defective hardware / software 3 times in 3 months).
Thanks for the input and I'll be sure to post up the results tomorrow when I take the phone into the store. I've already discussed it with the store and since the salesperson was the one who installed the protector, if it turns out to be dust, they will replace the $25 protector free.
Turns out it was dust, or some other contamination, but it was UNDER the screen so that, while you could see them with the phone turned off, you couldn't get at them in any way. Home now with a replacement phone, but as my first experience with HTC, I'm not super impressed...
Hello, Was looking for my phone for couple hours today forgot where i placed it. Guess my Son put it in his Bath toy bin and when i found it it was drenched. When i seen it i thought the worst of it the notification light was tweaking out and changing colors from blue to green. So i thought i would try turning on the screen and was completely black. took out the battery wiped out the water and turned it back on i see the green line show up on boot, then booted to the recovery mode and said could not be booted heard a sizzling and popping sound quickly removed the battery, thought my Motherboard was fried then. Put it in rice but i am a busy person i have clients that call me hourly. so i decided to open it. Grabbed my wife's high powered blow dryer and 90% rubbing alcohol and some cotton balls. Took out the main components and dried them completely, seen some corrosion on the boards maybe from previous damages? cleaned it up the best i could with the alcohol and re-dried the boards. and put it all back together and hoped for the best. I was joyed that the fact it booted completely to unlock. but i noticed a faint but annoying green line on the left side of the LCD from top to bottom same as when i noticed when i was at the recovery menu. i tapped on the side it got real thin almost unnoticeable but i'm OCD on perfection. and still find it very annoying upon concentration. Got me thinking, is it the motherboard or the LCD controlled that might be fried or damaged some how. if its the LCD thats a $200 replacement and i can live with that, but motherboard i haven't found a replacement online yet to know prices at that point i wouldn't want to shell out $800 on a new device. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Any help?
When you say a green line, are we talking like a single pixel width green line all the way down the phone?
If you take a screen shot does the picture show the green line? If no you probably have a damaged LCD screen and they don't correct themselves over time.
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.

i am not sure if its really a screen burn,but a few marks on screen i could be wrong
Could you take a picture of your screen? To determine if it is burn in. Can't imagine because of would require to display the keyboard several hours if not longer.
It has like marks on the screen ,I changed covers it got reduced
Is it like scuffs on the screen it's self? Maybe from a case or something using against the screen? If you had a screen burn image left it would look roughly faint yellowish and cloudy, if it's not like a faint image of a icon or something along those lines.
Lol I have the same thing. The entire keyboard got burnt in and the WhatsApp logo. Extremely visible on white backgrounds. Happens when you put the S6 to full brightness and leave it on for a night or so. It is safe to carry, but dont expect the screenburn to go away
Here's the burn in on mine. Sorry the picture is not the best, I had to use an old Nexus 5 to take it. It was like that when I bought it. The lady that sold it to me owned it for a year and a half.
I'm a lot more careful about leaving images on the screen that will burn in. I even change my dock icons regularly.
