Hi there,
I am an owner of MIUI rooted HTC Desire (GSM), installed new radio too. I had no problems so far. But in last few days I have noticed strange things happaning with device's display. There is some kind of strange pink illuminance when screen is displaying totally full screen black colour. This weird problem slightly shows up also on another dark colours. Here is some pictures describing the problem:

Maybe somebody has experienced something similiar? Actually I am very frustrating seeing that, looks like "Me - gusta" face, haha. But if seriously, then I am afraid about device's condition.
It looks to me as if you have pressed too hard at some point
and damaged the screen
Well, it might be. How do you think guys is it repairable by guarantee?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Yeah I was just gonna say that's not a symbol mate you just screwed the screen.. how hard did you press that thing?? I've quite literally smashed my Desire's screen and got nothing (maybe AMOLED is tougher )
also highly doubt warranty will cover since you did it.

The other day I noticed that I have a blue dot/circle on screen, maybe a cm in diameter. It's not a dead pixel or anything, it's just like there's a blue overlay on top of the screen. I stupidly carry it around without a case (I used to use my case but whenever the phone rang I used to accidentally decline calls whilst getting it out). Does anyone know what the problem is and whether it's fixable?
Thanks. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
newton ring probably. Seems to become a frequent problem. Try the search on that.

My first phone did the same thing. Yup, it's a newton ring. If you are still under warranty (should have 1 year from purchase date), then just bring it back to Tmobile or whoever you bought it from. They swapped mine out with no problems. There is no fix that I know of without repairing the hardware. Good luck!
These guys are right, it does sound like the familiar "newton ring" issue, common to HTC hardware it seems.
There's a number of other threads across the site on that subject, you can check to see if the pics in any of them match the general look of what you're seeing...but I think the odds are very good you're just the next lucky winner in the newton-ring lottery.
FYI, although there seems to be no universal cause, heat and/or pressure are common suspects.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I bought it handset only from the internet so I have no warranty. It's not too big or noticable so I guess I'll put up with it. It also gives me an excuse to buy myself the Touch Pro3 later on =p.

Most people say you can get them from pressure or too much heat, but I babied the hell out of my first one, and I still got one, so not sure if it really has to do with that or not. Sucks though, it bothered the hell out of me to see it every time. It wasn't horrible, just a faint blueish purple ring. That's the spirit. I want the tp3 as well.
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

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...
Hi,
I bought a Desire few deys ago and unfortunately it has slcd screen.I have noticed with screen checker that on black screen there is back light bleeding on the top right corner and on the left side as well. is this normal? are there any other people with the same bleeding issues?It is very annoying,i thought for this money i get a good phone...
The bleeding is similar like on the How to know if your HTC Desire have Super-LCD screen? on youtube at 50 sec(sry i can't send url)
and i also attached a picture.
Can i exchenge it?Is it faulty or normal?
Thx for the answers!
I downloaded a display testing app, and didn't see this problem at all. I went into a completely dark interior room and ran it again, and could barley see a tiny bit of this in the upper right corner. Since I haven't noticed it once in actual use, even at night, I'm not going to worry about it. However yours, as shown in your photo, is much worse than mine. I am uncertain how the warranty folks would feel about it, but it's your call whether to try returning it. Does it bother you when using the phone?
Hi,
If i'm using it nightime i can see proper bleeding on the right and left side as well if the background is black otherwise it is ok.Daytime i can see only bleeding on the top right corner with black background, but i think it shouldn't be like that, that's why i need info from other people who has Desire with slcd screen. As you wrote you did not realised the bleeding only after i metioned it.
I am waiting for more info, after i can make a decision to take back the handset or it is normal.
Thx
Hi guys,
please share with me your feedbacks if you have SLCD screen. I am very confused now, that this problem is common or only my screen is faulty? Because if it is only for me I have to exchange the phone.
Thanks
Hi,
If it is really looking like on this photo... i dont need a slcd screen to tell you that this is not acceptable... return the phone.

I agree with this. If my Desire looked like that - it would definitely be going back to the seller.
As to test on my phone - I can't as I have a AOMELD version of the phone. However, I too, don't need to see an SLCD to know the above is simply not acceptable.
I have the SLCD screeen. I have the exact black light bleeding on my screen also .
If all the SLCDs are ike this ,a replacement phone also will be similar .So no point in returing .Also there is no return possible in INDIA . .
I'm sure this is normal for LCD screens, there is a YouTube video comparing an AMOLED N1 to an SLCD N1 and there's a lot of backlight bleed on the SLCD...
Hi
thanks for the answers.So no point to exchange it, this thing is normal if you have slcd screen...Very strange and annoying.I thought this handset is almost perfect, i am going to sell it now.
thanks
Looks like Samsung's decision not to supply the AMOLED screens to 3rd parties is going to be the downfall of the Desire...
Hi! I just got a HTC Desire (SLCD) and have the same problems with the backlight bleeding (in the top right corner and in the left side but more at the middle point). You concluded it is a normal issue, but however there is people saying they don't have the problem in their SLCD Desires... Perhaps it would be worth trying to exchange it? what do you think? is out there more people with no bleeding SLCD Desires?
SLCD
i have an SLCD but no bleeding that i have noticed mine is 4 days old so maybe they fixed something definitely return it
im so glad ive got an amoled desire in all my previous htc phones with lcd screens, i neva had any bleeding like that so i'd take it back and get a replacement
Hi guys
I hope everyone is well
A week or 2 ago i noticed a pink line down the right hand side of my screen
ALso the bottom of the screen was slightly pink although i could see the text.
Gradually over the last couple of weeks the pink at the bottom of the screen has nearly filled the whole screen. The bottom of the screen is now turning from pink to grey.
Obviously i believe this to be a screen/LED problem
I have looked on ebay and found screens with digitizers but I am not sure if this will do the job or it needs another part with it
can someone please point me in the right direction...preferably with links
thanks in advance

Hi mate, I recently changed the screen and digitizer on my phone. If it's just the screen thats broken then you only need a screen, however you need to be VERY careful when taking out the screen from the digitizer, as if you break the connector to the digitizer then you will need to buy a new one too! Search youtube for "bravo disassembly procedure" or something along those lines, it's the official htc video.
It's actually pretty straightforward to do, and you don't need to treat it as gently as nitro glycerine either, as long as you don't use too much excess force.
Thanks
Hi mate
thanks for the reply
I have seen those videos around and got one in my favourites already
By the sound of my problem do you think i will just need a screen and digitizer or will i need more

Hi guys
Anyone managed to have a look at this?
anyone
sorry to post again
anyone able to comment on this? please
Hey sorry mate.. Hmm if it wasn't the screen then it must be something else... I don't want to tell you what it is for you to aimlessly keep buying stuff, because it's just not worth it. If it wasn't the screen then it could be so many other things.
Hi guys, I don't quite now how to explain this, but I'll give it my best. I've had my g3 for almost two weeks now and I've started to notice very faint vertical lines on the screen when on a white background, I can see them right now while writing this. It also happens in the settings screen. I'm not certain if there's something wrong or if it's always been this way and I hadn't noticed. Has anyone else noticed this? I wouldn't even say the line have a colour, it's just an alternate of darkish and white lines. I could just be looking too close, but I'm not certain.
Also I have noticed a slight black blur when using knock code, like when you would touch an old lap top screen, although a lot fainter. It only happens in one little section of the screen, but I noticed it when using the white stock wallpaper. It only seems to happen when I tap for knock code and I have noticed it when I apply slight pressure to that area. I have been delicate with the touch screen since, but I don't believe I used much pressure in the first place.
Hope I explained it well enough. Anybody else noticed anything similar? Am I being paranoid and these things normal?
There is large discussion on the "lines." I see them too, but think it is a result of the resolution itself. Nobody can say/prove what it is AFAIK.
If I press real hard on the screen in certain spots, it seems like I can replicate the second thing you're talking about. If yours does it when just lightly tapping, I'd exchange it.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I'm glad that the 'lines' aren't just in my imagination. Can you point me in the direction of the discussion on the lines?
I bought the phone online, but took into the store today to compare it to their demo model. It definitely doesn't have the same issue when I tap it. The salesperson wasn't sure what it was but she's going to send it in for repair/replacement. It sucks... now I'm going to have to wait till I get it back. The shop said they would have replaced it on the spot if I hadn't bought it online but from the store too.
Hopefully they get it back to me quick.
I hope no one else has this problem.
I think it's not the resolution itself, it's more about the software or kernel or something, LG implemented an oversharping thing which makes texts appear too sharp, but it's not only about texts, it's about the overall display! Notice when you scroll through LG Health page, you can see the lines moving, or changing in visibility, etc..
I have the same issue on my phone. There are very faint vertical lines most apparent on white and green colors and they seem to be rainbow colored. I have seen this issue with the at&t, t-mobile, and sprint versions of the G3 which my friends have.
It's not caused by the over sharpening effect because even after I flashed a fix for it, it still appears.
Almost as if it's like one of those 3d card/poster effects.
Hi guys,
is there any news on any fix on this?
I have the same problem. Should I RMA my phone?
