White don in the middle of the screen

I have this problem,I have sent my phone to HTC 5 times now and the problem is still here

Sounds like a stuck pixel. If it was dead it would be black.
There are various apps that are designed to attempt to fix the problem, by flashing the screen to create different levels of pixel activity. But I'm not sure if they will actually do anything.

I have a problem like this as well. It's not a stuck pixel, it looks more like a "smear" on the screen whose pixels won't get as dark as they are supposed to. The problem is most apparent on dark gray backgrounds. You know, the kind that's all over Holo. :/
Never tried to contact HTC about it since I figured it was my fault, but if other people here have exactly the same problem then it may be a more widespread problem.

It's still very hard too see it properly. Has it always been there?
It sort of reminds me of the first LCD TVs that were released that suffered from 'clouding' in the corners. Which could be 'massaged' out of the panel. Yet this is directly in the centre area if the panel. Or even reminds me the knuckle marks on my old Dell monitor (long MMORPG story) that look exactly like that. Damaged pixels that won't fill completely anymore.
I find it hard to imagine how this could happen without direct damaged (which is pretty much impossible in this scenario, without a damaged digitizer). Or without it being a manufacturing issue, prior or even during assembly.

Hmmm strange, I have the same problem since about 2 months. I thought it was my fault because I pressed the screen too hard or something. On my phone it's a dot, not a smudge.

Same here small light grey dot smack bang in the centre of the screen. Only noticeable on dark backgrounds.

Have you opened up the case of the phone at all? If you get something behind the screen it will push the center of it out and create exactly the issue you have.
Even if you haven't opened it up, something could be stuck back there. A big peice of dirt, a small plastic peice that broke up internally, or anything else.
If you have teken the device part, do it again and make sure it's clean behind the screen. If you haven't, send it back for a new one.

[Q] Dust under the screen?

Hi,
I received the Opo yesterday and I notices a darker spot. Can you give some advice? I opened a ticket with One but I am so nervous about that.
I cannot take a good picture of that. It's like a red spot. It stucks there and I can see it with brilliant colours.
Thanks
Gabriele

Hmm, did you have a invite?
I dont have any problem with it.

Yes, I had an invite. Anyone can help?

Imho it could be one of three things
a) a defect in the screen: rather unlikely based on the shape
b) glue not fully dried --> i'm sceptical it could cause this. You may want to try an UV lamp to be sure though, no harm done.
c) actual dust/air under the screen. Only an RMA could fix that

Do you know what they will do? will they send me refurbished one? new one? or will fix mine? The thing is I ordered to Germany (my sister live there) and A friend will arrive to visit in a week. if I will miss this opportunity. I will have to wait to someone else to visit her.

it looks like I have a very similar issue, and after almost two weeks opening a ticket I still have had no reply at all....

I tried to get a new one in all way. I had a long discussion with them, but nothing. For they, it's a little problem of the display and they refused to change it.
Bad assistance, but we already know that. At the end, I decided to stay with the phone .

Not sure if any of you have experienced this, but there seems to be a scratch or damage on the backside of the glass, letting light through... Kinda looks like a notification light, but infact its the backlight from the LCD shining through......
Anyone else have this on the bottom of the phone ??

I do have the same problem right at the same spot! :cyclops:

I do not appear to have this on mine... Black Z3 on EE

I have a black z3 and dont have this issue

Interesting. I think I'm taking mine back.. Not a good defect at all.
Mine also has damage to the satin finish coating. Must have been thrown around in shipping..

Thank God! Finally...I've been searching all over the web for this issue. XDA to the rescue..Yay!. I am also facing the same issue. It's only been 3 days since I purchased it for a whooping $820 and now this darn bright dot seems to appear at the right end bottom part of the screen. I am planning to take it back to the service centre but I am doubtful whether they will replace the phone or not. BTW I stay in India and my model is the Z3 black D6653. Guys facing the similar issue, please post your model number also so that we can isolate the family of Z3s that are defective as this doesn't seem to happen with other models of Z3 like D6603, D6643, D6616.

Guys, I need a small update before I start wasting my time trying to get it replaced. Did anyone of you get a replacement? Not the refurbished one but a new phone. In India, most of the people applying for a replacement are getting a refurbished piece instead of a new phone. I might as well live with this small blemish instead of using a second hand device.

I can't imagine that any refurbished phones are available as Z3 replacements already

Definitely a defective device. They should swap it out for a brand new one, most companies only provide refurbished devices as replacements when they have gone EOL.

Yes that's what the guys at the service center are saying. It seems that I need to wait for 15-20 days before the replacement arrives. Also I noticed that the camera quality is not as good as in the Z2. even the Xiaomi MI3 outperformed Z3 in superior auto mode.

I have seen those strange dots on two Xperia Z5 displays already; normal or not?

Greetings, fellow Android users.
This is my first time on this site. The thread title might confuse you, so allow me to elaborate: I have bought two Sony Xperia Z5 phones from Amazon and upon removing the pre-applied screen protectors, I saw those odd-looking dots all over the displays (see picture)

I have no idea what those are, 'cause this is actually my first Sony smartphone, so forgive my lack of knowledge if that is actually a common thing, but the fact remains that I never before saw anything like that before. I admit that this is irritating me beyond measure, since I pay close to attention to my phones always.
On the picture, you can see a light which is on the left side, but that is from my flashlight so you guys can see the dots more clearly; they are all over the screens and no, they are not pixel errors, for they can be seen even while the two phones are off.
Before I ask for a third Z5 phone, I'd like to seek your help to ensure if that was just bad luck or not. Also, the dots cannot be wiped clean. Sadly.

That is probably the digitizer. I can't answer if it should be visible like that or not though.

I see. Well, I need people who also own a Z5, because only they can take a look at their own screens and give me an answer. The digitizer shouldn't be visible like that..it just strikes me as too odd.

Yup, that's the digitizer*. Business as usual. Sometimes they're visible, sometimes not.
*it's the thing that registers you touching the screen

Okay, thanks for your reply, but damn..that sure as hell is an eyesore to me. So, am I right to assume that every Z5 has this visible digitizer? I'd rather have one which isn't like that, tbh.

its normal, had many xperia devices since the ARC

I've had my Z5 for nearly 2 weeks now and mine has no visible dots like yours, I would be getting replacement. Just because it is common doesn't mean it's made that way.

That's what I wanted to read. I now know what those dots are, but I was unsure whether or not every Z5 has them visible. Thanks to you, I can go look for a new one and hopefully the next will be better.

The reason he had no visible dots was probably because they're very hard to discern apart from very specific lighting situations. Sony's choice of digitizers dating back to Sony Ericsson phones (Had an X10 myself that had this) have always had digitizers that are more visible under certain lighting conditions. You would probably be able to find them if you looked for a new one as well.

those dots are only visible if you shine DIRECT light at it with the screen off and at a certain angle maybe. Seriously its normal, go switch up 99 Z5s and you will find the exact same thing. Just did it to my Z, Z3, and Z3 Tablet Compact. Ill check my z5 when it arrives and im sure ill have the same thing.

Reddish Hue Screen Color Normal ? Return this device ?

Hi Guys,
Need some advice. Just picked up a galaxy s8 plus for my personal device. I had one already for work. Noticed the work device has a much cooler screen and looks more white to me. Noticed the S8 plus i picked up for my personal has a redder hue to it. I tweaked the different modes in display but the personal device just cant get as cool or white as the work device I have. The work device (Left) is the US Snapdragon model and the personal ( right) is the international exynos model. Is this hue worth returning over or is this variation in screens normal. Looked at a Note 8 i have and it resembles the work device and is cooler and whiter as well. Any ways i can get the whites the same on my personal device ? Coincidentally the device on the right was manufactured 4/27/2017 while the device on the left was made 3/23/2017. I have also tried the display tweaks and the *#15987# trick.

Return it. That's how my first looked, and no matter how I adjust the tone, it couldn't get white. My replacement is normal. I almost kept the first thinking it's normal per the number of reports I've seen about it, but I'm so glad I exchanged it.

Thanks for the feedback

red tint is a common issue on Samsung amoled displays! I had to exchange my device 6 times (!!) to get a decent screen, just look at my posts regarding that!

I'd keep it. Looks better than your other one. Definitely more natural

I own a small repair shop and actually had a client with this issue last week. Unfortunately for her, the phone was bought from eBay and it didn't had any warranty, so she couldn't ask for a replacement, thus coming to my shop. I kept looking for a solution all day long, but she eventually sold it.

Thanks

Hopefully they remedy eventually. Was reading and some Note 8's even have the same issue. Guess you have to get used to it.

I would stick with basic. It is what everything but HDR content is supposed to be viewed in.
That yellowish tint is totally normal and how it should be. The phone you have pictured on the left has way too cool of an image.

had to go through about 4 exchanges when the iPhone SE came out due to yellowing on the display, so i feel your pain of going through the hassle of having to exchange 6! fortunately, i lucked out with the S8+ and the first replacement is perfect.
