[Q] HTC one X yellow spot (tint) display issue, any one find?

Just saw some photo taken in HTC shop of demo phone that indicate One X has some yellow spot (tint) display issue.
I would like those who have gotten the phone already to have a check and give us input does it happen to you or not.
The recent yellow spot issue is serious problem for latest Sony Xperia S phone.
Hope it can help to understand is it common or just rare.
Thanks!

Not in the one I have

Yes, some people give up Sony Xperia S（LT26i）because of the yellow spot issue. I really do not want it happen to One X. The issue for Sony is detected by user after 1 or 2 weeks usage, in some case is when phone get warm(like charging) or play heavy game after a while.
So if One X user can test it under charging status with full white screen may can more effective to confirm.
Rumors said One X screen provider is Sony. If it is true even the technique of it is different than LT26i screen but still may have some common issue behind.

Not a screenshot dummy.
It's the SLCD2 Panel itself...
So take a pic of the actual phone and white background.

The screenshot just shows what you are supposed to see.
The problem is in what you actually see on the screen itself.

To avoid any confusion, please take a physical photo of the screen in a dim room, not a screen shot.
There. Solved. Please do not fight.

I don't have any of these spots. The screen is just absolutely amazing!

The yellow tints are caused by the LCD screen foil. If you drop the phone, you will get yellow spots!

That explains, and maybe it can even be caused by pressing too hard on the screen maybe ?

Darn... Just got the One X from digitec (Switzerland) and it clearly shows two yellowish spots in the two bottom corners of the display. It's very visible and distracting on white background, not so much on dark background.

Isnt this the glue that holds the laminated screen onto the glass? I used to have this on my iphone4s ips display and the apple dude that served me said it would go off after using it for a slightly longer period of time and after a week or so the tint disappeared

Now that you mentioned it, i do believe this is the cause indeed.. i almost forgot about the iphone4s screen issues haha till you mentioned it , but that could be because i don't read much about Apple/iphones etc. and i don't have any affinity to Apple and it's products. [off-topic] To be honest i really hate Apple's mentality / their way of business

When the yellow spots are on the side, it's most of the time glue.
But if it's in the middle of the screen, most of the times it's the foil.
I would get a replacer if i were you!

Is it looks better now for yellow spot? Maybe can ignore if not look after it hardly?

It kind of looks as if they got weaker over the last two days of usage. Could be my wishful thinking, though. With white background, the spots (still) are noticeable and distracting. It's like with dead pixels: once you've discovered them, you can't ignore them anymore...

Problem with the display

So i got my phone few days ago but yesterday i noticed something strange with the phone so wanted to know if i have a faulty device or what so the problem is when i press the left side (the whole left side but most on the top left corner) of the display the edge when i press it a little harder not hard but a little harder than a regular touch i get that rainbow effect that you would get by presing directly the display of a plazma/lcd/led tv something like a rainbow or mixed colors when you press it

No, that have almost all HOX so far i know ... some users reported that with DHD and had no problems with that ... however, if you think it is a fault, you can always exchange it ...

I've had my HOX since release day, I've never had any rainbow effect.

Read THIS and THIS ...
"Things not considered defects:
- LCD ripple on outer intentional pressure, this seems to go away with time if the lamination is perfect"
It should be better with time ... try to overheat it and cool down for 3-4 times and it should be better ... thats because the touch and the SLCD2 are glued together.

So my device is ok its not faulty??

[Q] Display Imperfections/Black Splotches

So I understand this is a recurring issue with some AMOLED displays, but is anyone else noticing black splotches on your screen if you put a fully black image on the screen, turn the brightness all the way down, and look at your phone in a very dark room? I'm curious how common it is before I complain. I'll post a picture tomorrow if I can capture it. It looks kind of like an ink trail near the middle of my screen. Thanks!

I just checked my over 2 year old SGSIs screen and do not see any blotches. You are also the first person that i have read about that has any problems. That does not mean youeare alone however. I have heard many running 4.2 complaining about black artifacts being seen on the screen.

I have them on mine; there are two splotches about 3/4" long roughly in the middle, just left of center. Doesn't bother me though, since I can't see them during normal use.

Had the issue on mu-tiple Samsung skyrockets...the original note and on the s3.
I have seen them on some note 2 but mine I have not found one yet.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I have a small one at the top left of the screen. My first one was right down the middle. My OCD took hold and I swapped it out. It's the same thing on my new one.
Sure, I wish it wasn't there but you really have to have perfect conditions to actually see it.
It actually has something to do with inconsistent electrical charge or something. There's actually a team for this but I can't remember it.
LCDs have dead pixels and amoleds have these splotches.
The DROID Razor is really bad as is the PS Vita. It's just that tech.

Be aware of screen defect!

So I got gs3 a week ago and loving it so far. But I started noticing the screen has some issues.
Everytime I am on blank screen with just the back light on, I notice multiple dark circles thru back light. They are about the size of peas and you can only see them in darker room. I am trying to take a picture but still not successful.. again you can not see them in normal light or when you are looking bright images. .you can only see them on blank screen with back light on. (Examples: when you start the phone and only Samsung logo during boot. Or when you go to seetings and choose lock screen, the blank area with back light on shows the defects. )
I hope you guys don't have that issue, because it does bother me when I am using phone at night..
I called tmo to replace it and hopefully new one doesn't have same problem.
Cheers,
eidt; pics attached below..

Its the screen type most have it to a varying degree

You may want a different phone if it bugs you. Purchase a phone with a different style of screen or read the forums before you make a purchase.

Common on amoled screens.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

A simple Google search would of net you the answer. Those are dead pixels almost all amoled screen have does, but if they are really really big you can definitely try to get a warranty. Only thing is your next phone will probably have it too either for better or worse. If it's not too bad I would stay with the phone, technically if you don't think about it you get past it not many times you would notice it anyway.

I have these too. Like you, only time I see them is a completely black screen in the dark. In other words, where's the problem?
Whatever it is has zero affect on viewing anything.

Screen Burning or Dead Pixels?
I think what you are referring to is screen burning. This case is very common among OLED displays, kind of how plasma TV's have burns on the screen. It's there but its not that bad since this type of technology gets it (for now....the tech is still way too new). However, it helps to not keep the same picture or whatever showing for long periods of time, as this can cause a burning outline of the picture. In this I mean, something that is displayed that doesn't change. Remember some screen may get more burned then others but it will still be there. For the reason of this burning, I'll let you search it up. If that doesn't answer your problem then let me know, but if it is dead pixels (which I dont think it is) then you might want to change it. However, your problem sounds like the common problem called burning.

Its a common thing on all AMOLED phones. It happens during the printing process, nothing to lose sleep over.

This is very common in all amoled screens. Same was the case with my vibrant. Since these are only visible in a dark room with a black screen, its not that big of a problem, I imagine. It's not so much a defect as it is an aspect of the screen type. Think of it like this... if you purchase a Mac over a Windows computer, it will have aspects that you dislike that the other likely won't have have. But the same is true of the Windows device (although not likely ha)...if it is a deal breaker, avoid amoled in the future.

Have this also, even on Note 2. Especially, while watching Netflix or screen is dark

Seriously there was a long thread about this when the phone first released. Could we not resurrect this?

You might want to exchange that. The definately isn't burning that I am talking about. So yes, go ahead and change that out. I don't have that on my phone so it looks like a defect. Those spots almost look like bloches of some sort and looks as if something had burned underneath. That or one guy said, dead pixels (which is a definate yes for exchange).
So go exchange the product and see how it goes for you.

Well we went through thisnwith the sgs2. People found that exchanges just resulted in more phones just like this. Therw was a whole about it there also. It is a defwct in manufacturing in most oled screens for these phones. People have reported it in their note 2s also.

[Q] Xperia play Screen Tearing issue

Hey guys I'm having a weird issue right now. I don't think it's normal (it might be), but what happens is, when there is movement on the screen, It looks like previous frames of the screen are still on. It is a very minor issue right now, (is only noticable in the app drawer with black apps), but I got the phone a week ago, and it is still under warranty, so I might as well get it fixed. (if it really is an issue).
All I did to the phone was install a custom firmware and NXT 2r1, and I think the issue might have been there before, but I'm not sure. I only really noticed it after I installed mxplayer, (because the app is like pure black).
I took a video of how it looked here (focus on the mxplayer app)-
http://youtu.be/zDPQsGG-XKg
I'm not sure if it is a problem or not, so if it is, I might as well get it fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Noticed that ages ago, it happens with the colour red too. I think it's just the display's ageing design.

Alright, so it's nothing to be worried about?
That's good to hear.

All of you are wrong (sorry if im mean here,)
Its because the Xperia play comes default with a screen protector and after a while it like Smudges with the screen and etc.. so it causes this
Nothing to worry about,

I have difficulties believing that: Somehow, a relatively outdated LED screen that has a noticeable delay when cycling between certain colours seems more believable than a vinyl screen protector and its mystery oil that selectively disperses a screen's light even when they're no longer in contact with said screen. What makes you think it's this "oil"?
