I got my Evo June 4 and rooted soon after. Its been overclocked to 1190 ondemand.
The phone gets pretty warm to hot with heavy use. I notice this heat towards the bottom half of the phone.
Then I noticed that on any light background, there is a small 0.5"x.25" area where the screen is noticably brighter. It's about 3/4 of the way down the screen & right in the middle. It is not noticable on dark backgrounds though.
I am wondering if anyone else has this issue and is it possible due to getting hot?
Nope... I'm at 1.15ghz on the performance profile.

how hot does it get?
LCDs cannot burn an image. They can retain an image, however that can be generally corrected with a moving image over time. What you have may be the light leak from the button LEDs. My dad has this phone and his has an issue similar to what you're describing.
I mean, if I'm playing tower raiders for a good twenty minutes, it will be hot to the touch on the lower half and with no venting, it just bakes itself

Do you have a profile to scale back the overclock when temps reach > 50C degrees?
I have seen my phone approach 47 while charging in the car, hot day, and streaming music and that was about as hot as I would want it to go.

Haha wow. I had mine @ 60C once. Then again it wasn't from running it, it got left in the sun on a pool deck for 2 hours

It's just light from the buttons. LCD's don't get burn-in. AMOLED is a different story, my Nexus has WICKED statusbar burn-in
I've also been overclocked since overclocking was available and I've never gotten anywhere near 50C.
Most I've gotten is 110F. How is it getting that hot?
LCD Burn
He's not talking about screen burn. He's referring to lcd smear which happens due to localized temperature and/or pressure changes in the lcd. Mine is doing it as well (my first one didn't), and the palm pre was notorious for it. There was an excellent explanation of it on precentral.net forums. It's only noticeable when the background is certain colors behind the pixels affected. Unlike the pre, however, this seems to be permanent.
I got mine on launch day as well
And I never did any modified kernels or overclocking and I had a similar bright spot that was most noticeable on the white htc bootscreen. I was rooted but it was a stock rom and so I took it in and showed them and demanded a replacement which I went in to pick up 2 days later. I bought it from radioshack and got the replacement from sprint about a week ago and now I have hardware revision 003

I suggest dont over clock your phone because your phone gets to hot and it causes too much radiation and you could die for having too much radiation
Sent from my HTC Evo 3G because there is no 4G here.
I have the same issue, from day one. So i don't think its an OC result.

Thanks for the replys.......looks like I'm going in for a new phone......Did you get a refurb or a new one?....

New, but a refurb would probably be just as good if not better than new.
Please explain the 'refurbished being better than new' theory.

I have the same issue and its located in the exact spot you are describing. Ive only overclocked my evo for about an hour once, but this mark has been there since the beginning. Probably another error on HTC's end I suspect....
It's a Google i/o version of the phone. I actually managed to get Sprint to send me a new evo through customer service due to light leakage so I'm not really worrying.
Wasn't the Mogul notorious for this?
I have the exact same spot in the exact same place. I don't think its due to OC. Mine appears to be getting worse (much more noticeable). I'm prepping for an exchange myself.
Hi all!
Just got my new HOX a day ago. And after 2 full charges I flashed LeeDroid ROM.
But on both ROMs (stock and LeeDroid) my HOX overheats a lot, being loaded heavier than normal.
By a-heavier-than-normal load I understand: installing apps (5 apps, one by one), changing settings, browsing heavy web-site for 17-30 min.
The HOX heats to the temperature, that I can't apply it to my face to make a call.
This seems to be the only issue of my phone, and I wonder, did anybody face with the same problem? Is there any solution?
I've just installed Cool tool - it'll show me the battery temp.

So does your device get hot on the screen if you can't put it to your face?
My One X does get rather hot under heavy usage but it's the area around the camera on the back of the phone that can get quite hot, never the front.
It does sound like an overheating problem to me, especially if you can't physically make a phone call because of the heat
Actually, it overheats both on the whole surface of the screen and under the rear camera (I think, a CPU is located there). It's very uncomfortable to make calls using a hot phone near your ear...
Also, I looked through the thread, where HOX overheated up to ~53 C and HTC said, that is normal. But, I didn't play games - just downloaded programs and used HOX for browsing.
Surfing internet will overheat too.
Official HTC Statement: HTC One X is normal to overheat
Thank you!
Today I tried browsing for ~20-30 min.
The temperature raised up to 39 C. It is normal for hand, but not comfortable for face/ear.
I hope, HTC will fix this, despite their statement (but don't know, if it is possible)...
Hi Dudes,
I replaced my HTC One X today with a new one because the gsensor failed for some unknown reason. Anyway I got home and started re installing all my apps, then did the 28 software update and restarted. Its then that I noticed a yellow streak on the left hand side of the screen. It almost looks like glue or a screen bleed, you can really see it on a white background or a grey background but also
Im unsure If i should see if it is glue and maybe it just needs to dry out by using the phone a lot for the next week or replacing it yet again.... Im starting to loose patience with the One X now.
Has anyone else had this green streak issue and is it normal?
Should I turn the brightness up to make for an hour and leave the screen running?
My old HTC Desire was more reliable than this....

Is it glue or something mate? Its odd.
Looks like everything else on the ONE X is working great now though. (touch wood)
Screen seems as excellent as ever. Just the yellow smear/streak.
Will leave it a few days and see what happens man.
in many discussion about this problem, peoples think that problem with glue.
And can appear when phone get hot.
not saw it on my phone when playing in terga games + charging in same time.
but my phone goes to me 2 week, may be glue well dried before was used

My phone heats up fine and no other yellow streaks appear (its not a spot but a streak). Its constantly there also. Will see how it goes in the next few days.
I ment to say that this yellow smear is allways on the screen but no more seem to appear when it heats up. I hope it goes away. Has anyone else had this small yellow smear issue on the screen?
I got home and started re installing all my apps, then did the 28 software update and restarted. Its then that I noticed a yellow streak on the left hand side of the screen - It happends exactly the same to me , and what did i do was going back my phone today , and seller says that I don't believe it will disappear and gave me the new one , I'm happy with my new phone but it's grey , not beautiful white :/ , if u are able to return it , just go to return
1) go to display settings and set sleep to never turn off and brightness to full
2) install 'dead pixel detect and fix' from market
3) open 'dead pixel detect and fix' select colors, custom then a nice bright yellow
4) once your screen is bright yellow put on charge and leave for the night
I'm unsure if this fixed my problem or just a coincidence that my screen got better over night anyway but I thought I would share to see if it helps anyone else.

This sort of trick helped me solve flickering but only temporarily.. I think yout problem will come back as well

It had been 2 days and is still good. I read up that a lot of one x's have the same problem, yellow smudges appears about 3 days after purchase but suppose to fade after about 2 weeks. So I don't think it will return this is just to speed things up a little.
I thought that it was due to hardware, but maybe not so much?
Well ill try to work on it for few days on full brightness, maybe it will reduce the glue grain, I noticed its on all one Xs they just vary in intensity
Sometimes pixels get stuck at a colour and flashing the area between different colours really fast can fix it.

Unfortunately my screen is yellow at the bottom and every pixel app I find has the menu bar there. What I did do though was leave chrome on the settings page and it did help to reduce it., however I've just been playing some fruit ninja. My phone got hot the touch screen stopped working correctly and the yellow is back worse than before
I am trying this now and will let it run overnight.
I currently have 2 yellow spots on the top of my screen. Hoping this will make them go away faster.

My yellow blobs was at the top of the screen, so the black menu bar at the bottom wasnt a concern for me. I am currently using tripndroids cm9 build that takes the black bar away and gives you full resolution use. Only attemp cm9 if your boot loader has allready been unlocked, so you can still replace your phone if things dont improve.
for anyone using cm9 they dont have the option to turn display sleep off completly, so i would recomend downloading an app callled 'screen on' that does the job from the market.
The yellow tint/spot isnt a hardware fault. It comes from poor manufacturing processing. If you squeeze hard on the edge of the screen for prolonged time, the yellow tint/spot appears. Once the pressure on the screen is normalized, the tint/spot will be gone. However, there is a chance that prolonged pressure will cause permanent damage, it is wise for you guys NOT to put your H1X into your jeans pocket!

That can be achieved by just clicking fix on the dead pixel app, when i attempted this for about 2 hours i never saw any changes as after just trying a constant yellow i instantly saw that my screen got brighter, whiter and the yellow smudges on top of my screen started to fade. I compare to my partners one x to check for improvements.
Any luck?

I do hope that this solution help you with that problem.. however there must be a reason why HTC help support keeping my HOX at their location , as far as I know they waiting for new battery as well as NEW LCD..according to that information must be smth wrong with LCD... (yellow dots of course)
So I need to switched back to my HP pre 3 for a while..
Hi i have the same problem with my HOX, my HOX is perfect except for the blue spot when i turn my screen brightness to full and use a black wallpaper you can see the blue spot, i dont know what i must to do because it is my second HOX and it took me 2 weeks to get a replacement unit from virgin if any body in here has experience with htc australia service centre please let me know thanks (i did try to use the app but no luck)

Alright -
I let it run for like 12 hours last night.
My yellow spots are about 75 percent gone!!!!
I am going to let it run again tonight and will give another update.
For those of you will yellow spots I would suggest giving this a shot. So far it seems to be working for me. Although I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back or gets worse again.
Thanks!
any idea if this deals with the glue grain too?
I don't think the color really matters - what metters is that it is left alone AND getting warm.
I guess if you put a book on top of it while running a 3D game, 90% of the spots will be gone momentarily, but as soon as you start using it they will creep back because it is a lamination problem and not a screen problem...
And for those who claim their spots "disappeared" after a week - yes, they did disappear for me one day, but were back once I started using it heavily.
the spots problem will not appear for those who have a flawlessly fit screen
this is why i advice those with lamination issues to get rid of the phone, lamination issues = spots, uneven whites and chance of dust get in
Does anyone have any further evidence that this works? I've got a very light yellow haze/spot in the bottom right hand corner of my screen which I'm not too happy about.
Hoping that it does work because I don't really want to go through the hassle of acquiring a replacement. I will do if the problem is terminal though.
Thanks.
I don't have the yellow spots. But the top part of my screen has a yellow tint. This is my second phone and its perfect apart from this. Only had it a couple of days though so I'll give it time to see if it will fade.
I can only do a swap once more and I don't want to end up with a worse phone and have to send it away for repair.
Dilemma!

Hello all,
I purchased a used Verizon HTC Incredible 2. I've been playing around with the phone and everything seems to be functioning, but after 10-15 minutes of use (basically when the screen it on while I'm playing games) I noticed that the lower portion of the phone seemed to feel a lot hotter than the rest of the phone. There is definitely a difference in temperature between the upper half and the bottom half of the phone.
As I said before everything is functioning as it should, but there is a little quirk that I noticed. On the bottom of the phone there are 4 shortcuts (home, menu, etc.) When I have it in the vertical position I can see a faint image of what the icon should look like when I go into the horizontal position. I've included a picture (the best I can do) to illustrate what I am talking about. My assumption is that this is the cause of the 'overheating' because both lights are on. Maybe it this isn't even the cause of my so call problem. I'm just afraid that this issue may cause issues in the future.
Edit - So I can't seem to post links...
Downloaded OS Monitor, this app is telling me that my battery temperature is 38.1* C or 100.58* F
I have noticed this on mine for the first time yesterday. Extreme heat on the bottom right side of the phone. Everything works ok except yesterday I also updated my PRL and it changed. Ever since I have been having LOTS of jumps to 1x data where I always have 3g. Not sure if the problems are related.
Our phones can tolerate up to 115F then the notification led will blink orange and green.
It is normal for the phone to produce more heat when put under stress.
ie: games
