[Q] Purple Screen - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright.. well to start off I know what caused this issue; so I'm not looking for a 'fix'. Just a detailed explaintion from anyone who knows enough about the SAMLODED screen.
Playing airsoft with an Epic is a VERY bad idea; I don't ever recommend it. I left it in my pocket..and it got hit screen first so now there is a purple mark spanning out from the bottom right of the screen (where it got hit) and is completely black at the point of impact.
Was looking so see what actually happened to the screen to cause this. Why is it purple and not some other color..What 'broke' inside causing a purple 'glob' if you will.. to be inside my screen.

Screen Broken? Pic added!!!

So I slipped and fell with my phone in my pocket and now when I'm on my phone doing something with a white screen (ie. texting) I see a blue cloud across parts of the screen. Is there anyway to fix this?
PS - I have a tmo tp2.
Thanks!
Anyone have any advice on this? Thanks in advance..
Get a new screen, sorry to say it like that.
If your LCD is cracked it needs to be replaced.
Somethings obviously messed up with the LCD, friend pushed too hard on his screen and it made it splotchy like that.
Screen is not cracked. Just on parts of the screen the whites show blue instead. Is there anyway to fix this?
Ok here is a picture of my problem. It doesn't seem to affect use of the touch screen at all, however I do find it bothersome... Hopefully you guys can see the blue dots in the upper left of the picture and are able to tell me what the F it is!
Sounds like "stuck pixels" to me. For whatever reason, the blue pixels won't turn off. I think I remember seeing somewhere a program that attempts to fix it by rapidly turning the pixels on and off. Maybe someone knows the name, or you can google/bing it.
Surely more ppl have experienced this before!! Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!!!

I got a guy that specializes in fixing smart phones. I'll ask him about fixing the TP2 screen tomorrow.
If you can see any visual problems when the phone is off, like shading that corresponds to the cloudy part, then the screen is physically damaged.

Faint light in top right corner of the screen

Hi all, hoping someone could help me. Hot a new desire yesterday and have noticed when no a black screen these is a faint light in the top right corner. You can't see it when the screen is light though.
Is this faint light a problem or will it be ok?
Cheers all
Blinky
Not sure how common this is but I have the same problem and have heard about it before. I was thinking of returning the Desire for a different one but if it is a common problem then I won't bother.
Silly suggestion, it doesnt happen when your notification led is on does it?
As that would produce a slight glow from underneath the screen.
I have the faint light in the top corner even when the led is off.
Anyone hot any other ideas what it could be?
Cheers
Blinky
Is this while the screen if off?
Looked on my Desire - can't see any other light source?
Any update on the uper right corner issue, I have same problem and even went back to store to change the device, but the new one had same issue. Dont know if its only my bad luck or what.
Its plain backlight bleeding, could be possibly solved by some ghetto disassembly and sharpie, but I wont sacrifice my warranty to fix something that doesn't bother me (and of course it's a feature/bug of SLCD screened Desires)
So you think i bought desire with slcd not the amoled one. Didnt know slcd desires are already on the market.
Hmmm, I have this issue as well, only really shows up on a dark blank screen, so not to much of an issue in day to day use.....Looks from all the posts that this is a "feature" of the SLCD screens that HTC are using......;o)
Substituted mine today in warranty...no differences, the same problem on the new one.
Thanks htc...good work...
Same story here. Bought mine (SLCD) about week ago and this screen "feature" was there from the very beginning. I was thinking about to return it, but I went through your posts guys and looks like this is a common problem...

yellow stain on white screen.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has this problem. On the white screen as well as camera, a yellow stain has appeared on the top, like a coffee stain on a page. Can't take a screen shot because it only appears on the screen. If pressed, it disappears for a moment and comes back. It's not as clear as before but still there. Most likely a hardware problem but wondering if it's possible to fix. Cheers.
probably not fixable by any software means mate,if its still under warranty, get screen replaced. its common thing with one x, along with speaker problems, creaking sounds etc.. what can you do, nothing is perfect
Been lucky til now. Thought of holding out for sense 5 but guess it's time to get the one. Had this phone for a year now.

[Q]blue tint on bottom of screen?

I just had my phone replaced because of a power button issue.
Didn't notice with the first one, not sure if it had it, but at the bottom of the screen there is a slight tint of blue in color shift vs the top of the screen.
Kind of like a blue haze coming up from the bottom of the screen about a inch or so.
If you put on a white screen and look at the top then bottom you I see the shift in color.Mainly on white or grey color though.
Is this normal or did I get another bad one do you think?
Yep same situation happened to me.. unless u dont mind. Get a new one.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
He he yeah it would bug me.
Guess it goes back.
I am having great luck. 2 with issues ha ha
Yeah well.
Thanks for the advice though.
The store is going to love me brining back another one
There seems to be some build quality issues.
Well it is about 3:30 here now and I am off to take this back to the store here in FL to see if they will take it back.
Wish me luck.
Will let you all know what I find.
Sorry for the late reply.
Forgot to when I got home.
Just showed them the color shift in the store and that it was on all screens and not just a particular app and they set me up with another one.
Screen on the display unit that didn't have the haze and the new one both look good, but not quite as bright whites as the one that did have the haze to it.
But I am okay with that.
I had a green tinted area in the top half of the screen showing on white and dark screen backgrounds. I came across someone whos screen turned completely green one day and didnt work at all afterwards so I took mine back to be on the safe side. Im now on my 3rd S4 in a week. Still love this phone

Brown spots on the screen

hey i just realized that my s3 has a part of the screen with a brown spots,i attached a photo...I would like to know how to fix it please
That's screen burn in. No fix except to replace the screen. That's one of many reasons white background apps suck.
