I have a yellow spot on the screen much like this post
It gets worse when hot and has a slight tint when colder. Should I return the phone to HTC for repair?
Does anyone else have it? Saw someone here have it
Mine went away after a week or two.
Did you do anything specific to make it go away?
I'll wait a week. I already opened a ticket with them.
Note: if your device is not received at our repair center within 30 days, the repair order will be closed
That's most probably the glue used to stick the LCD.
You know how to make it leave? It gets really bad on high heat...
Did you try what was suggested in the first link you posted in the OP?
few devices have a problem of this yellow spot so u can send it to service centre

I've been noticing dust collecting under the top left corner of my screen. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Or am I goin to have to take it to a Sprint store and have it replaced?
I just noticed the same problem with mine. This is not good for my OCD.
So I'm thinking of bringing my phone in to a Sprint tech to look at the dust under the screen as well as a small area about the size of a pencil's eraser that is brighter than the rest of the screen (Only obvious with white backgrounds).
Would it be a bad idea to show the tech my EVO as is which is rooted? Would they care if they're just looking at the physical screen?
Same thing on my EVO dust top left corner. This is the second one that has done it. Dust shoot plug doesn't help either. I bought something similar to this but it didn't help:

You will have to bring it to a Sprint repair center and have your screen replaced. My phone had dust on the top left corner as well. The Sprint employee told me there was a slight screen separation so he replaced it with a brand new screen. I unrooted my phone before bringing it in.

I was afraid I'd have to do this. Guess I have to weigh my options here. Have a dusty screen or go through the timely process of unrooting, then rooting back and having a fresh screen.

Same here I have TEP so I generally get a new phone about every 6 months so I'm not sure its worth it to bring it in.
Just to let everyone know here is how it all went down.
I called the Sprint repair center and told them about the dust under the screen. Of course they said I would have to bring it in for them to look at, but they could fix it. So I asked the guy about rooted phones he said as long as I am not having software issues he could careless.
So took my phone down at lunch went and ate came back all done. They replaced the entire display. The guy said it was all one piece so they replaced everything. I looked at the old display and I have no idea how the dust is getting in there. He said the displays have 3 revisions mine was a revision 2 replaced it with a 3. So take all this with a grain of salt. Just telling you all what he told me.
He also said he liked my ROM,... nice.
I had a couple of yellow spots on my phone from day one, most are not noticeable anymore (bottom right of the screen for example). However the one on the bottom left doesnt seam to be fading at all to me.

Is this normal and should it still fade or do you guys think I should be asking three for a replacement (want to do it in the 14 days returns policy if I have to do it to make things simple).
That's pretty bad, I'd be getting a replacement.
Got some three spots in my device. They were lightly showing and not like your's. Still....
I have just sent them for replacement. The C.Care here told me that they will try for replacement through DOA, as my device is only 2 days old. Will come to know tomorrow only.
AND, you should have posted here instead of opening another thread.

ahh thanks, I will post in there, I will also email three the pictures and ask about a replacement if this is particularly bad.
Oke. Closed it is
Hi,
did anybody has this? (see Picture)
Its on the bottom of the screen. I just noticed it while browsing a website in landscape mode.
That may be glue. And I hope it is not a similar problem OnePlus One owners are facing.

Hm, but where? Obviously not on the front Between the Glas and the Display itself?
But,i will check this again when the phone gets warm....
This happens to LCD panels, it could be a one off due to heat etc, or it could be the sign of a faulty panel.

If it is glue, it cam be solved, by putting the phone under UV light or under the sun for some time, and it will go away. Google it.
If this does not solve your problem, look for a replacement.

Hm. A couple of days I think. But I can't tell you exactly. It just disappeard after a while.
I'm pleased yours disappeared. Mine which is identical in both the place and shape has been on my G3 since I got it back in July.
It still gets darker the longer you have heat build up on the screen and when it's cooled down its faint again.
i dont have the same luck as you guys mine are getting bigger and darker i think i have a bad lcd DAMN i really love this phone.
Same issue here. Same color, same location, same size. Mine is invisible when the phone is cool. But when the phone heats up, the yellow is very visible.
Sorry guys, I forgot to come back here with an update.
Mine eventually disappeared last week after nearly 3 months.
I believe it is the glue.
Someone told me to try leaving the phone under UV lighting. I left mine in direct sunlight for when it was not being used. Seemed to cure it in a few days.
yellow spot all of a sudden!
I've updated my phone to lollipop v20e a couple of days ago. Today I noticed this little yellow spot in my phone. Coincidence or not I began to use NFC TAGS early this morning, can this be related using the NFC TAGS and having this function enabled?
yellow screen marks
I bought my LG G3 on the 20/07/14 and after 5 months of use I have a long yellow thick line across the top left of the screen. What makes this even more concerning is my cousin bought the same handset a week before me and his now also has a thick yellow line on the screen. There is nothing you can do to get rid of it and it is more pronounced against a white background.Looks more like screen burn. Both my cousin and I have contacted LG and we are having to send our handsets to them for repair.
I have never experienced this issue with any other handset i have owned. I was unhappy that i had the issue but even more pi$$ed off that my cousin has the same thing happening which tells me either it was a huge coincidence or that these things are not fit for purpose and more and more will be going wrong in the near future.
My handset has been well cared for and never dropped. I am a moderate user so this was even more of a surprise. While the LG is getting repaired I am using my Sony z2 work phone as my personal for now and I don't think I will be swapping back when I get my LG back.
Good luck to anyone who has this issue. My concern is the same thing will happen again and then it will be my problem as it will be outside of warranty.

i have it too in the up-right corner of the screen and it doesn't disappear... it just get darker with hot screen and softens when it cools down
Left-top corner
I also experiencing this issue for 2 months now. its a strip. and its getting longer day by day. once i tried screen burn app and 8 hours continuously screen on resulted in heated display. then, when i press that line temporary it disappears. so obviously its the glue. i'll try the direct sunlight thing. hope it'll resolve this case. it's really annoying
Thanks for the tips :fingers-crossed:

After 6-7 months of usage, same thing, in same place (upper right corner, don't dissapear - only getting bigger and darker on hot screen).
Took my phone to local warranty service, and after 1 week got call from this service - they told me, that service is REJECTED, because phone had physical damage! (WTF?!?!?!?! i haven't dropped it, and there is no crack's/spots of damage on phone!).
After telling them all this, and proposed that it may be glue, or faulty LCD/Overheat - they told me that LCD have crack from back side (?!?!?!LOL!?!?!?!).
Now i'm stuck deep in *ss, and don't know even what to do....
Anyone of you got solution to this problem?
Maybe contacting LG representives directly will help to solve this case?
10x.
help!!! direct sunlight?? kindly put the instructions pls
Hi, I got this OnePlus 3, it had a very slight pink tint in right half and no tint on left (on white screen) so I got it replaced. Now the replacement is even worse,bottom and right side is much more pink than before, only top left side is fine, even on grey, I can see the top left portion is more bright than rest. What to do guys, I'm afraid third replacement will be even worse, I previously owned Nexus 6 and it had only pink tint in low brightness not this kind of uneven hue. Please suggest something.
Well, there's nothing you can do except replacing it ...
It can't be worse every time, you'll run out of bad luck eventually ?

They may not replace the phone. But they should change the screen again.
Go to the one plus service center.. the ones they own and manage.. not the ones outsourced.
Btw, I have a similar issue.. on specific greys, the left side (about half a inch) seems brighter than the right side. Only on greys. All other Colors are just fine.
I took it to the non-company owned service center, the guy there couldn't really tell the difference as much as I noticed, but he agreed that he can try changing the screen. Though I haven't really gone that route yet since the phone is less than a month old. Will wait for some time and see. The color variation is fairly minor and not many people I have shown it to have been able to tell the difference.
Hey everyone
So I sent my HTC 10 to warranty repair earlier this month and they replaced the motherboard and battery and I just got it yesterday. I noticed that there are now some faint horizontal lines near the bottom and top left portions of my LCD, more visible on white backgrounds, but they disappear when I apply force to the screen. I'm guessing this is a result of the heating process they used to open up the phone during the repair where they could maybe used excessive heat and mess up the glue?
Do I have to send it back to them and deal with their abysmal CS again? Did this happen to anyone? Is there a way I could possibly fix this at home? Like with a hairdryer and some force?
Thanks!

As much as it sucks, I would contact them again and I would do it sooner than later. I sent mine in for a screen replacement some time ago, and when I got it back one corner of the panel was not perfectly glued in. I waited a couple months before contacting them again and it was a pain so i decided to live with it since it's not a huge deal.
