Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with my evo. The screen is all... discolored and weird, almost a grayish tint. I tried rebooting the phone, and it's messed up looking even on the boot screens. The initial white splash screen with 'htc evo 4g' in black looks like it has grey text. Not sure what could have happened, phone was working fine when I put it in my pocket, and I noticed this problem after taking it out.
Anyone heard of or seen this? Something fixable, or do I need to un-root and make a trip to a sprint store?
Here is a picture next to a screenshot of my home screen. Everything seems washed out, and notice how screwed up the notification bar, etc look.

This is caused by your graphics chip not functioning properly for one reason or another. Unroot and go back to stock. IF that does not fix it then return it to Sprint.

So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?
Seem like the SII I9100 has been plauged with this problem... I didn't see anything for our phone. Anyone else have a pink spot, did i miss somekind of firmware update. I am almost sure it's in the software....

i took a lot of pictures already with my phone, no problem
there's a sticky in the Apps section of the forum, with a lot of pictures people have taken with our T989
i didn't see anything wrong on their phones
Yeah, I picked up this phone yesterday and also noticed a pink spot in the center of the camera. Mine isn't as bad as yours. It's more a pink hue that I have. It depends on the lighting though. When I'm in my room and the sun is shinning through I can see the pink spot on white backgrounds. Should I exchange the phone? Is there a software fix for this or is it purely hardware?

The attachment says it all... this is a software screenshot, and when I dim the background in the clock, it gets blotchy on the top and bottom. At first I thought it was my screen, bc its such a wide spread issue with blotches/tints/etc. But after taking a screenshot, it has became clear its not my hardware.
Anyone elses like this/is this normal?

Attachment does not say it all at all. Because it's a blue and white question mark... =/
Although your screenshot link is broken, I think I know what you're talking about. It ONLY happens to me when I have a wallpaper that is very dark in some spots. So it seems as though when it dims, the LED's just darken all the way and you get "blotches" where there are black/more than black LED's next to each other.
But lets get this out of the way now, the screenshot isn't going to show the blotches because this is a screen "issue", not a software issue.
Hello guys. Here I will post a semi-blurry picture of my HOX, (the black), and my girlfriends HOX, (the white).
As you maybe can see, my led light is very heavily decreased, and I don't know why.
PS: Mine is rooted, my gf's is not.
And it's not because of one single rom, because of all that I've tried, (plenty), none of them have increased my led light.
It might not be important, but it really bugs me that I can't see when I get a new text message, etc.

Same problem for me after updating to JB
Are you sure it didn't get dirty in your pocket around the same time you updated? Just in case get a can of air-duster and give the front grill a good clean, it may save you the trouble of flashing roms and fiddling around. Mine gets dusty and dim all the time.
Anyone else notice a dim screen on their device? It was super bright when I first got it over a year ago. But recently I've been finding myself not able to read anything in daylight, so I decided to order a new phone because an LCD costs as much as a brand new phone. Here are the results:

2 year old Att i257m on left, week old Sprint l520 on right.
Flashed stock ROM back onto Att one last night thinking maybe the ROM failed on me but its just simply dimmer, by a lot. Anyone know how to look up the files that show current brightness levels?
well as an update I noticed the notification bar is brighter than the rest of the screen, It simply looks like it is worn out from use. the notification bar is black when i have browser open and what not so thats why it is unaffected.
