Hello everyone,
I just noticed a strange thing with my phone... Actually, this is my 2nd Xperia S, the first one I sent back because of the same "defect".
With my previous Xperia S, in some pics (at darker places) red dots appear in the image file (at the phone screen too, but is too small to notice). So, when I was looking into it at my PC, the red dots became visible. Always at the same place... Well, my phone was having trouble with wifi (dropping from time to time) so I decided to ask for a new one at the shop where I bought it. They gave me a new one.
The new one was OK I guess, but yesterday I noticed the same thing! But in different places from the previous one.
They occur frequently with higher ISO (for low light scenes)
Download the attached file and see what I'm talking about.
And please, try to increase your camera ISO too and take a pic at a dark place. Then analyze into your PC.
Hardware problem? I always keep my lens clean.
Mine does too in low light situations. The camera of our phone sucks in lowlight situations.

Is it me is does this low light sensor really temperamental?
Right now I'm trying to get it to activate in a low light room using the video camera and still, but nothing seems to be happening
When I first got the Arc it was running 3 network branded software, and I'm sure it worked then when I tried it out, but since I've flashed the global generic it takes pictures like any other camera in the dark (not very well)
Something sure is that the Arc is the best photo phone in low light condition i never had.
Remember with other phone, when light is not high, it's very difficult to focus because the image move very slowly (i don't know how to explain...).
It's not a useless gadget it's sure.
You really have to use all the options the camera app has to offer. Meaning focus modes, scenes, light sensivity and so. If you do so, the results will be very good. Video is a little easier because there is a very strong algorythm to prevent noise. Unfortunately it will also reduce sharpness quite a lot.
Hey guys , I have a problem, whenever i browse a site with a gray background, the screen is all the way down from its brightness ( since i use it indoors most of the time) i see like a semi black blurry line coming down top half the screen, you can notice it more in a gray background/image then with a color, but if you notice where the blurry line is, and is actually quite thick, though after you notice it, and switch to other colors, you can tell that there is a contrast difference between the color background and where the line is..
Im taking the phone to the sprint rep, i've already mentioned it to the Phone operator, and she mentioned she will note it, and i can just take the phone in.
( taking a screenshots odviously is useless, I'll bring up photoshop and somewhat portray what i see on the phone screen when i get home from work )
Though my phone hasn't been suffering with the android OS over percentage usage or anything of sorts, no LOS or nothing else, just the Wifi Scanning Bug..
If u over look it, you wont see much different and more when the screen is fully bright, but when the brightness is taken all the way down,you can see it! wtf... so i might as well take the risk, and see if i can get it replaced and hope that the next phone will be good too eh?
Could it be some Semi-dead LED, or burnt?..
I know that the way i write makes no sense lol, sorry english is my second language, im cuban
If your within your 30 or 14 day return why not? Obviously its bothering you so get new one. But do it right before your 30 day is up cause hopefully the second batch of epic touches will be out

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.

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

This phone is like an ice cube compared to the Rezound, lol.
Any other verizon Htc ones having the purple/red low light issues? I just received mine yesterday and after about 10 seconds in the camera it will start to turn red or purple in low light. The first shot is usually ok but after that it gets really bad. Is there a consensus this is a hardware issue and not software related?

Is it the screen itself (while in the camera viewer) that's turning purple / red? And are we talking low enough light where it requires the flash? I'm curious if the shots you're taking while it's doing this are flashing or not - and the ones that are really bad, what's bad about them? Not focusing on anything?
I know exactly what you're talking about and it happens to me too. I found that changing the ISO to 100 alleviates the issue a bit, but its still there. I found a HUGE thread on this a week ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42400071
It seems it definitely gets worse when the phone is hot. I noticed this problem REALLY bad when I was trying to take pics while the phone was charging. It seemed to be better the next day though. I will try it again tonight.
My dad actually got an HTC One today as well so it was perfect to compare the camera. His camera doesn't seem to have the same problem ours do. I took pictures in similar lighting and his didn't depict any of the red/blue tint that I would get sometimes . Kinda bummed out. I'm afraid of returning it and then getting one that is even worse or getting dead pixels. Not to mention that you can no longer root/unlock at this point. Using flash will always fix the issue, but I don't think I want to resort to that.
No idea what to do.
Here is a picture to give you an idea how bad it is. When the flash is on it doesn't look like that but it's really out of focus. Even when I turn the iso to 100 it still looks the same. I to am worried about replacing it and getting one with worse issues. I'm thinking about going the moto x route with all the issues these phones seem to have.

I would imagine those scenarios are a small percentage of the time right? I'm not saying they're not noteworthy, but don't go with the Moto X just on camera alone. I tried out a Droid Maxx and the One's camera runs circles around it. That said, my one complaint with the One is that it can't handle situation's like you're describing - the uber-low-light scenarios that really need a flash. The problem is it doesn't light up the flash when it's trying to focus, and therefore can't focus because it can't see anything to focus on, and the flash shots will, a lot of times, end up blurry. The non-flash shots are pointless in that low amount of light, purple/reddish hue or not. .
