I've searched all the burn in threads and don't see anything like this. I use my phone as an alarm clock on a dock; a couple of days ago I noticed what looked like little yellow squares on white pages. It was driving me nuts so I took a screenshot and nothing was there; I used another phone and took a picture to email to myself. When I enlarge it I can clearly see it is clock numbers. The phone is still under warranty and I opened a ticket for repair but can't get a clear answer from the service personal; does anyone know if this is covered under warranty?

I use the genuine Google dock and the Alarm clock moves around the screen thus avoiding the burn in you have, just a thought in case they replace your phone and you dont want it to happen again
Aaaaaaa! Is that what will become of all our GalNexes eventually?
Would something like this go away over time?

Unfortunately not. This will not go away usually. The image is "burned in". The technical term for it is "Image Persistence".
Just Google for a 10h white YouTube video and run it for awhile, it should be fine then. No need to send it in..

I guess I have nothing to lose so I plugged it in and turned it on. Fingers crossed and thank you!

Some sort of Pixel test would have been better it has an all white screen.

Wouldn't youtube be fullscreen too since it's a video?
That has got to be the most severe case of burn-in I've seen yet. I'm curious as to the results of the 10h white video. Be sure to report back!
I used this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9___k_6srY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I tested this one, it's full screen.

Unfortunately it seemed to make no difference. I ran it for 3 hours; the only change was an overheating battery.

The display on my TP2 appears to have a liquidy substance underneath the cover/plastic top.. I can only see it when looking at it from a certain angle and it moves around when I touch it.. Is this the result of a defective display? I've had this phone since..late august, early september, and noticed it awhile ago.. never thought anything of it.. Just wondering if i could get a replacement or something, as i have insurance..
ill look for a picture that shows what im talking about. but can someone tell me what it is, if it will affect my screen, and if i can get a replacement?
thanks.
If it looks liquidy and moves around when you touch it, it sounds like... liquid. You may want to check the water indicator underneath the battery to make sure it isn't activated. If it's a solid pink/red color, your warranty won't cover a repair or replacement.

My touch screen stopped working this evening, also has some filmy moist-looking substance under glass, but I didn't expose it to anything, and my water indicator sticker under the battery cover is still in good shape. Called Sprint for replacement, but any ideas while I wait?

From what I've heard and seen, it's caused by a manufacturing defect on early models. The only way to fix it is to replace the touch screen. I don't know how the HTC service centres are in the US, but in the UK they are very, very helpful and replaced it free of charge within a week.

This worked for me!!!
sorry wrong thread. about a month ago my touch screen stopped working, after taking my phone apart not finding anything, i stumbled on that page and found that i had a tiny piece of something under the edge of my screen, after i relived the pressure the screen started working
I experienced it today for about a minute and, it was just a yellow tint over the screen. My screen went back to normal after a minute or so. So the question is has this ever happened to any of you guys???
No. Your phone is probably going to explode soon.

This. I used to have an E4GT and then I got the YSOD and 5 minutes later my phone exploded, shrapnel flying everywhere. Still have a piece of the screen lodged in my groin, doctors said they can't take it out because the risk of losing my junk was too high. Was going to replace it but honestly, it's not worth the risk. Decided to play it safe and got an iPhone 4S instead.
Be careful OP, the YSOD is serious sh*t.

A yellow tint over the screen can be two things. Either your ribbon cable connecting your screen to the board is loose or damaged (new screen will fix the problem) or the GPU on your board was overheating (whole new phone if it burns up). Are you running any custom ROMs? What were you doing when it happened? Have you dropped your phone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It happened about 20 mins. after using odin to go to stock ek02 I was reading an article in wikipedia and all of a sudden everything had a yellow tint I thought it might just be the site but, then I found it was the entire phone screen. I wasn't doing anything that could have overloaded the gpu and, I haven't dropped my phone at all. After a quick google search I found that it could be a software problem since some other people have also had this problem but, it could also be a defect with the screen.... If you have any ideas please let me know.

Also it went away after a minute or so and, has not come back. I have had no problems with anything rendering from the gpu other then this quick glitch.

I have two small yellow spots. Upper left and upper right. I have already rooted and installed custom rom and have been playing with my phone for a week now. I love this phone and am trying to live with it even though I know I shouldnt.
Anyone else in the same boat? Or did everyone that had this problem return there phone. I bought mine unlocked on amazon.
Has anyones spots disappeared? I was googling the pictures of the Iphones that had the same problem and they look Identical to what I have. Its not as bad as some peoples pictures I have seen though.
hmmmm.... what to do...

how long have you had your phone
spots can go away with use
1 - week.
Thats what I was hoping and the reason I havent returned it yet. You can press on them and they disappear. When you let go they come back. I was reading in a thread somewhere that someone had massaged them for a little bit each day for a week and they went away.
They also get brighter as the phone heats up.

Hi,
So 3 days ago I bought the galaxy 3 (new from a private store) and there's a really weird problem with the screen..
U can see in the picture I added the "C" like shape and the dot underneath it..I'm seeing it when I play games, use the camera and so on..It's there all the time but its visibility depends in what the screen is showing.
If u know how to fix it without me having to replace the device..your help will be most appreciated.
Guy's I just transferred the pic' to my computer and the "C" shape+ dot wasn't there (meaning that the problem is in the internal side of the screen)so I took my old SGS1 and shot the SGS3 screen
How can a new member upload a picture???

You know, I have some some shadows on my screen as well. They are only visible when I'm looking at the screen in low ambient light... So I notice it if I'm watching a movie at night in the dark, or, as you said, taking photos in a dark place.
The shadow looks just like if you push on a computer's LCD screen... I wonder if the Gorilla Glass covering is imperfect and pushing on the screen?
In my case it doesn't look like a pushing problem, it's way too symmetric and there's no "pushing waves", the color is not consistent with the "pushing effect"…
I don't think there's something I can do about it except replacing it…it's funny because I really have no clue what on earth could cause this…
Upload it to imgur then post link.
That's a know problem, rare though.
I have one little line on my phone only visible in the dark on a black background.
I think it's called ink spot or something like that.
Check this thread out:

That's not what I was talking about. That looks like screen burn. I'd swap it for a new one from Sprint. Don't let them give you a refurbished.

Does the screen work outside the OS. In recovery for example?
I had a similar problem on a RedMi Note 3G after I applied too much pressure on the screen, now, I can't say if is exactly the same but if, then yes, it is hardware.
What did you do prior to this? Also can you get to recovery?
Your screen is damaged! Happens with me months ago while running, My sweat did this. My solution was a screen replacement
No it is not working any where. Not even in recovery. I tried to install a RR Rom using TWRP and when i tried to reboot after patching the rom, The screen started flickering. I thought it might be OS issue but i tried everything. I tried to restore to Stock OS & stock recovery using different tools but still I can't get the display properly.
Also my phone fell down while i was talking from my shoulder height. Nut that was a day before this happened.

In my case was water but in yours was other thing. Anyway, your screen (LCD) is damaged. I'm afraid you'll need a replacement

Or look look on the aliexpress, you may find it even cheaper than on ebay
Check Amazon for omnirepair part. That's who I used for mine and they are top notch. And they provide decent tool set and support that makes job much easier. Slightly more expensive but with it in my opinion. I've had no issues except one spot that is slightly brighter.
