spot like dot inside touchscreen?

Hi,
I've just had my HTC Desire for about a week and its been working fine, however i have just spotted a concerning water dot-like spot inside my touchscreen but its not affecting anything i do when i use it. I have not dropped it at all or done anything malicious so i'm assuming it was already there from the start. I don't have a screen protector yet but will be receiving it in the next couple days.
here it is > http: //i41.tinypic.com/2h2nsbb.jpg (remove space)
it might be hard to see but its there.
Does anyone know how i might clear that up or should i just leave it since its not really effecting the touchscreen. i'm not sure if i should get a replacement
Any suggestions welcomed.
cheers

I would insist on having it repaired or replaced from where ever you got it from. I'm guessing there is no obvious damage to the top of the screen?

Yeah, that would do my head in! A screen protector may well render it invisible though.
I would contact the provider and insist on a replacement. I would just say there is a mark on the inside of the screen, I wouldn't mention water if I were you, just to be on the safe side, it's one of those things where the conversation could get irksome.

Cheers for the replies..
I will see what 3 can do as i bought it on a PAYG. You can bearly see it until you look closely near light, thats why i only just noticed it yesterday.
No damage at all to the top screen let alone the phone. It still looks brand new. AMOLED screen is faultless and everything works fine.
I reckon it'll be annoying to get this replaced as they have limited stock but i'll see what 3 would suggest me to do when i go there tomorrow..

TP2 Screen not responding

Hey Gang!!
My Tilt2 (TP2) was acting sluggish the other day and then the touch screen would not respond to anything.
I did a soft reset ... didn't work or solve it ... so I just went ahead and did a hard reset. Even after doing that I have no response from the screen.
The screen shows up everything .. I can view the time, people calling me but it just won't pick up any touch activity at all.
Has anyone ran into this ? or what would you suggest.
Just need some help !!
Thanks !!

I just got the same problem. Wich rom are you using?

Just what came with it from AT&T ... factory settings back on it now.
6.5 winmo
had never put a different ROM on it.

Your digitizer may be dead and in need of a replacement

I just got done searching something's from google and other people who have had the same problem and tried one thing.
The outer rim where the chrome area is , they said to clean or see if there is crap/crud in between the screen and the chrome area.
I did that and it seems to be working ok right now. Just have to be careful. I used my thumb nail to slide in between that area but you might want to use something thinner to be on the safe side.

Thanks, that worked for me also. bit strange solution but isf it works...

the crud you collected must have been pressing the digitizer down in multiple spots or even just ONE spot which led it to think there was already a "touch" on it.. hence not working when you would touch it else where.....
There's been issue's with cases doing that where they are too tight and the screen is picking up that pressure as a 'press'... it's odd you guys have collected that much stuff to make the screen act funny though... messy pockets for sure!

unfarking believable
I'm not believing this..but it worked. Thanks for posting this. I was getting quite desperate!

TP2 screen not responding.
Thank you. Cleaning around chrome area worked, but I lifted the plastic contact a bit, so future users of this method should be careful. The contact lifted above the buttons on the bottom of screen, so I will have to be cautious not to get dirt in further.

Glass broken

Hello.
Today my Desire slipped off the cover, and fell onto concrete floor.
Result - Cracked screen, scratches on the front panel. The back panel is intact.
Touchscreen seems to be working fine in every part of the display, and AMOLED itself seems to be OK - cant see any damage through the broken glass.
I guess that it's the protective glass broken, not the screen itself?
The main impact was on the corner.
So a question - could somebody suggest, where could I buy front panel replacement, with the protective glass?
I would like to hear any suggestions.
Thanks.

Search ebay for "Digitizer HTC Desire"

You mean, that it's not the protective screen, but the digitizer?

Well, I'm no expert on this...
But since the Desire has a capacitive touchscreen panel, I assumed this must be the top layer....

Okay, today i've recieved my new toucscreen.
Installed, and everything seems to work fine, but.
It is kinda bugged - sometimes it changes screens spontaneously, in some places it dont respond on my touch.
I dont know what to do now, any suggestions?

[Q] Screen is grey/pink

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.

Cracked screen

Hello!
Today dropped my phone and screen got covered in spider web. The display itself looks fine, but its covered it spiderweb. The touchscreen doesnt respond at all.
What do i need to do now? I looked at local repair shops, they ask atleast 100 euros. But on ebay i can find lcd display+screen digitizer for 55 euros shipped, or screen digitizer starting from 10 dollars!
Can i buy only screen digitizer (as i understand that top layer of glass thats cracked is screen digitizer?) and replace it? Or changing LCD display along with screen digitizer is a must?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOIR-VITRE-...Pièces_de_rechange_outils&hash=item27f98e5d31
So this should fit..right? And are all 3 models LS970, E975 and e973 really same size? Cuz i`ve read people have got smaller screens than original from some sellers on amazon.

Replacing a digitizer is pretty hard and time consuming, that's why people usually replace the whole lcd+digitizer+glass assembly. You will also need adhesive and a heater/appropriate tools. It can be a great learning experience if you don't mind potentially busting your phone. There are no shortage of instructionnal videos on youtube on the subject.
Also, a new G2 is only 190$US .... Just saying ...

As i have two other phones. The g2 mini with Tegra and a razrHD. I'll give a try, thanks for the tip.

Well, i ended up ordering that LCD+Digitzer from ebay. Everything was fine for 2 months, now i have quite large spot that doesnt respond to touches. (See attachment) i already tried disconecting the lcd and digitizer..still same. Is it worth trying to flash another rom? I already flashed stock kdz (had stock before too..)
This happened just today, right after ghost touches went crazy and rondomly oppening everything.
EDIT: That spot is changing sizes..form remains, but it got a bit smaller now. Its truly weird. I put the phone outside for few minutes (its +9C outside) and touchscreen works fine now! What is going on?
EDIT 2: After few minutes of usage, the spot is coming back

I had dropped my LG (more than a couple of times) on its face and it seemed to suffer stroke-like symptoms: one side of the screen was completely dead to touch, and the rest of the screen would occasionally act as though I was touching everywhere which opened programs and messed with the keyboard. I was stubborn and just lived with it and over time, it stopped trying open programs and whatnot. Recently, dropped it again, this time it was a bit more serious. Still no visible damage to the screen, but the "dead spot" moved to the centre of the screen, and again, occasionally tries to open programs and add words to my messages.
At first I thought it all could be related to a software issue. Unfortunately, after installing new ROMS, it never fixed the problem. I bought a digitaliser screen from Ebay as well. I'm waiting on the adhesive tape still so I can't say if this will fix anything. I kind of have a suspicion that its a loose connector (the top middle part of the screen gets super hot only after a couple of minutes of being left on).
I'm just wondering if you have tried taking it apart again to recheck the wiring? I think we may have similar problems (your situation is the first I've come by on the internet that is anywhere close to what's happening to my screen). Thanks so much!
