Hi, just wondering if anyone has this problem. On the white screen as well as camera, a yellow stain has appeared on the top, like a coffee stain on a page. Can't take a screen shot because it only appears on the screen. If pressed, it disappears for a moment and comes back. It's not as clear as before but still there. Most likely a hardware problem but wondering if it's possible to fix. Cheers.
probably not fixable by any software means mate,if its still under warranty, get screen replaced. its common thing with one x, along with speaker problems, creaking sounds etc.. what can you do, nothing is perfect
Been lucky til now. Thought of holding out for sense 5 but guess it's time to get the one. Had this phone for a year now.

Hi all, hoping someone could help me. Hot a new desire yesterday and have noticed when no a black screen these is a faint light in the top right corner. You can't see it when the screen is light though.
Is this faint light a problem or will it be ok?
Cheers all

Not sure how common this is but I have the same problem and have heard about it before. I was thinking of returning the Desire for a different one but if it is a common problem then I won't bother.
Silly suggestion, it doesnt happen when your notification led is on does it?
As that would produce a slight glow from underneath the screen.
I have the faint light in the top corner even when the led is off.
Anyone hot any other ideas what it could be?
Cheers

Is this while the screen if off?
Looked on my Desire - can't see any other light source?
Any update on the uper right corner issue, I have same problem and even went back to store to change the device, but the new one had same issue. Dont know if its only my bad luck or what.
Its plain backlight bleeding, could be possibly solved by some ghetto disassembly and sharpie, but I wont sacrifice my warranty to fix something that doesn't bother me (and of course it's a feature/bug of SLCD screened Desires)
So you think i bought desire with slcd not the amoled one. Didnt know slcd desires are already on the market.
Hmmm, I have this issue as well, only really shows up on a dark blank screen, so not to much of an issue in day to day use.....Looks from all the posts that this is a "feature" of the SLCD screens that HTC are using......;o)
Substituted mine today in warranty...no differences, the same problem on the new one.
Thanks htc...good work...
Same story here. Bought mine (SLCD) about week ago and this screen "feature" was there from the very beginning. I was thinking about to return it, but I went through your posts guys and looks like this is a common problem...
Hi,
I bought a TELUS htc desire with the new SLCD screen thing. I have a yellow stain/tint at the bottom of the screen, but futureshop (where I bought it) says that all of them have that problem and as I already exchanged one phone once because of dead pixels, they just want to give me a new phone that isn't HTC. So, I was wondering if this is really a problem and you guys just accept it and it doesn't bother you much.
My stain is about 1 cm from the bottom of the screen, and not really apparent on darker backgrounds, but as soon as it turns out to be white or gray, it's clearly visible. On blue, the screen turns out green.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do, I like this phone a lot and the Htc sense...they said i could have a TELUS samsung fascinate with Android 2.1 (2.2 will be updated early 2011)...
Thanks
is your stain growing?
i noticed a brown/yellow stain in the left bottom corner a couple of weeks ago, starting with the size you mentioned. now the stain is atleast 4 times bigger and still growing.
wasnt there something like this on the new iphones when they came out. something about the glue used to bond the screens coming away??
Ok so these are the symptoms my phone has:
1. Very small in perfection in the polycarbonate on the back right hand side. Looks like a small hairline crack but it's not a crack its smooth. Doesnt really bother me but I do know it's there...
2. Small mark under the screen, only visable on dark backgrounds or when looking at a black image. Not sure if it's one of these "yellow spots" people have mentioned but so far after 5 days it's still there.
3. Fruit Ninja lags a lot. Other tegra games seem so so but the screen gets very hot and also the spot under the camera ring.
4. If I tilt the phone slightly to the right for example in this forum I can see small pattern (slantered) on the screen.
5. When using the keyboard in landscape mode the predictive text bar moves about.
6. Some times when I press the power button to switch the screen off it comes back on as if its stuck slightly.
7. Some other small software glitches.
Would you ask for a replacement given these items?
Yes, you should bring it back for a replacement.
The crack and the mark under the screen is worth replacing it, you've spent money on a product that isn't as good as they clamed, so a broken phone.
I'm taking mine back tomorrow.. damn yellow spots
i returned mine for the yellow spot issue the day after i got it, got an exchange for another, couldn't be happier, with the lag and such its all just software and its kinda what you'd expect getting the new device at release, wait for some patches and see how it goes, but id exchange for the yellow spot issue anyday
Yes do it but just have to hope the replacement doesn't have any issues itself.

I bought a Joying head unit from Pumpkin several months ago. A few months back, the screen would occasionally flash, get vertical lines on it, and then go dark. As far as I can tell, the touch part of it still worked and I could change modes if I guessed the correct spot to press.
Pushing on the sides of the bezel would sometimes bring the screen back to normal, but it would fade away quickly.
A few weeks ago, the problem became worse and it remains dark unless I press the bezel. Even then, it doesn't work all the time.
Pumpkin was kind enough to walk me through a repair procedure (Restore stock, reset, take off faceplate and check ribbons) but nothing helped. They now want me to pay to ship it to them, but offer no guarantees. They are under the impression that it is the Android board and I would have to also pay to replace that.
Does anyone have some other ideas on what I can do to fix this problem? I don't think it's just a backlight issue, since the screen does funny things prior to going dark. I also don't think it's an Android issue, since everything seems to work except the screen. I sort of think it just needs a new screen, but I have not found a way to purchase a new screen to install.
Thanks,
Hi,
Unfortunately for me i dropped my phone and cracked my tempered glass in several places. gladly the screen underneath was perfectly fine after drop however, it has developed a fault as the screen won't turn on at all. I tried turning it off and restarting and although i can hear the boot up logo sound i see no picture at all. i can receive calls but cannot answer due to screen not displaying.
The screen had four main pressure cracks.... one is top left, one on the ear speaker, one bottom middle and one bottom left of phone. hopefully you can see it in picture.
Can you give advice on what to try or do to resolve this? will i need a new screen or disassemble to see what the issue is?
I've only had the phone for 2/3 months at most
Thanks in advance
looks like i will answer my own question....
i bought a replacement lcd & digitiser, one complete unit and swapped the necessary components over to new screen. all is working and good. not sure if the screen is repairable but there are other parts inside this screen worth selling on. it still has a non cracked immaculate screen along with the charging port and other stuff inside old screen.
at a cost of £70, i consider this an expensive fix
Thanks for the input kakawak
cheers
