I have a cyan att version. Not to bother you with the details but this is my third lumia because of many other issues. This is the first time I face a discoloration issue. I always carry my phone in a black oem nokia case or naked and after taking off the case today I noticed a white blemish. I immediately tried to clean it with a little soap and water but it didn't come off. I passed my finger over it but I cant feel as if its been scratched. Also if I pass my finger over the body of the phone I can feel very small bubbles as if in the process of creating the body there were imperfections. Attached is a picture. Iam going to contact nokia to see what they recommend. I really think it might be a defect with the polycarbonate shell. Its supposed to be cyan all the way through so this is a bit weird. Thoughts?

to me it looks like they ran out of cyan shells and they started to paint them cyan and send them as refurbished replacements.
Maybe it got in touch with some sort of a corrosive chemical (not necessarily when it was under your possession)? Anyhow if it bothers you - use your warranty and get yourself a replacement unit...
That would be funny if they just started painting them, lol. Yeah iam probably going to try and get a replacement.

The other month the metal frame round my Desire came loose to the point that it protruded quite uncomfortably in the hand. I bought and fitted a whole new case which was no problem, however now it lets in a lot of dust, mostly through the middle left of the screen, and I'm not talking about a little bit of dust, it lets in crazy amounts that after 2 weeks ends up obscuring the screen completely and I have to take it apart and clean it. I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I think it's to do with the seal but I'm not sure exactly. Anyone else had this issue, or could help? Thanks.
There is a bit of a seal between the glass and the metal in the desire which you might need to replace one way or another. I also think the glass is put on during manufacture in vacuum conditions.
People who repair watches or replace batteries on watches that require to go x number of meters under water have to go through a similar process. Might be worth seeing what they can do.
it's quite unfortunate. Good luck with sorting out the issue.
I have the same problem. I once dismantaled the entire thing, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It mostly got cleared for a while but then came back.
I've gotten used to it now...
So if I wanted to replace it, would i replace the LCD screen itself or the digitizer? Not sure as the photos of where I can buy both of these items do not make it very clear which part I need.
MOST phones are just the glass itself. LCD Digitizer is the LCD display this is like this

but many phones the digitizer is attached to the glass(My Galaxy S 4g) I would just recommend going to your local flea market and look for a phone guy. They're the cheapest.
Depends how much it´s scratched, but general is just the digitizer.
That's what I thought. The LCD screen is a tad recessed for it to be the top of the screen... now i know for future reference
Wow you hardly broke it :$

Are you sure it's not the shatter-resistant film that's scratched? It can be removed, and the screen won't scratch as easily (just try not to drop the phone if you do)
That would be it, the only thing i ever removed from my screen was the thing plastic protector that all devices have on their screens now.. Thanks!
HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!
Ur poor phone...when i see it i thing it is better buy a new one or insurance...
Awhile back I bought a screen protector and it came in.
I read the instructions and everything, finally ready to apply.
I start applying and the first thing I notice is 3 layers of **** protecting the screen protector.
So eventually I ruined the first one because of dust and didn't know what ****ing layer was the screen protector.
I start on number two with a better attitude thinking I got this *****, the hell you know it gets screwed over. Apparently somewhere in between applying I bent the *****.. and this causes it to look like **** even then there was bubbles everywhere, where it says its bubble free
I don't even want to apply number three because I know something horribly will go wrong. Did anyone else use this brand and what was your experience?
I'd also like to note it did get scratched when applying the film too. Piece of **** companies
To top it off I got my case in too and it looks used, looks like a coffee stain on the back and was poorly cut.

So I noticed earlier today there's a small gap on one side between the glass and the body. My ocd is killing me. The issue I have is dust, dirt and other small debris can settle within the crevice.

Does anyone else notice this?
Edit: pic updated
I haven't noticed this yet on mine but just got it 3 days ago. I will keep looking as I have a bit of OCD too.
I believe I also have a whee bit of a gap on the left side , but it is so small it doesn't bother me. I don't think I could get a picture of it if I tried it is so slight. I really had to look at it to convince myself it was even there. Your first picture makes it look quite obvious on yours though. I assume you're having it replaced because of bad pixels so hopefully the next one will be 100%.
Yes I'll be taking mine back due to this and 7 dead pixels. These two things made it an easy choice whether to return or keep it.
UPDATE: Contacted motorola. They said either i ship mine back to them and then theyll send me a new one. or they ship me a new one put a $200 hold on my CC and then once received, i ship mine back to them.

Ohh, and I'm tired of the update available prompt (rooted with custom kernel)
Want to go back to stock, and flash 6.0. But had two drops that damaged the corners and moulding holding the screen. Screen itself is fine, but worry that it will separate in time.
Just filed claim with Square Trade (bought at Staples), and their recommendation was to send me a check. Not sure how much?
I did have epoxy on one corner, but it chipped away. Need a more solid repair.
Any good source for parts? And how hard of a self repair?
What about sending g back to ASUS for repair?
Thanks for comments....

From the videos, it looks like the broken bezels are part of the front housing. But it also looks virtually impossible to separate the screen/digitizer from that without damaging it. I think this full assembly would be much easier.
Now what would be cost to send to ASUS, or to just get my check and apply a few more dabs of epoxy?
Does it really matter?
Mines chipped at three corners. Granted only one is as big as yours, but its working fine.
Yeah...works fine. But could look better. Was thinking it could degrade over time and effect display.
Squaretrade said to send it to them for $239 refund. Just had to order an Asus charger for $10 to include with my return.
