Hey everyone!
Today something started happening to my phone's display. The picture is visibly brighter, and the brightness seems to be originating from the bottom two corners in a U-shaped manner. Moreover, when I look closely at the screen, it's fuzzy - you can see the horizontal lines that the image is comprised of kinda "twitching". I'm not sure what this might be.
I attached a photo so you can see the general idea of what's going on.
Any suggestions on what to do to get rid of this would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Just to exclude a software influence: Does the effect persist even after reboot? If so, even in recovery? It might again be a faulty cable (the one which transfers data to display and digitizer). I read about a lot of cases on the internet where replacing that cable solved issues with screen and digitizer.

Actually, I kept my phone off for a few hours and this issue seems to be gone now. I have no idea what might have caused it...

Hello,
I've got a problem with the screen of my Qtek 9090 as it doesn't seem to be displaying colours properly and there are lines going across the screen and text at times.
Would someone have any idea of what the problem might be and if it's fixable?
Here are a couple of images of what I'm getting. Quality isn't great but I hope it shows the problem well enough.
that looks like a hardware defect, you can use the htc service manual linked in my signature to disassemble the device and look for problems with the display's connectors, cables and possible pressure on the display/digitizer or anything related to the display. a good way to test that would be to take away any housing and start the device, that way you can carefully bend the cable in normal angles and see, when it happens.
I've heard about the purple tint, scratches and so on, but couldn't find any other examples of the weird artefact my M8 started to display on the bottom-left part of the photos a few weeks ago. It wasn't dropped or anything - this has just suddenly appeared one day.
Has anyone encountered stuff like this?

Isn't that just a sticker? Reset your camera to default settings

It's no sticker. The camera has been reset, cache has been cleared, the artefact is there. It disappears from view when I zoom in, and changes shape when I use filters. Don't think it's software.

If you're sure it's hardware, can't do anything else except having it repaired, right?

You're being a bit condescending. I have recognized that I'm not an expert by coming here and asking a question, no need to drive this point further. That said, it's not as simple as "hardware issue = send for repairs". Stuck pixels on LCD monitors sometimes can be fixed. Camera sensors can sometimes be told to disregard faulty data. I'm looking for knowledge, not snark.
To me, looks like some sort of debris, possibly caught between the outer camera "glass" (probably plastic, based on how easily a lot of folks have scratched it) and the actual lens of the sensor itself. I can see a couple specks of dust caught like this on my phone when it was brand new (out of the box), but fortunately in my case they do not appear in photos. You would think the assembly of these devices would happen in some type of dust-free environment. But unfortunately, this is obviously not the case.
If I am correct (that its some kind of dust/debris), I don't think there is much you can do about it without taking the phone apart, or at least the outer lens (if that even comes out by itself).
Hi guys, I don't quite now how to explain this, but I'll give it my best. I've had my g3 for almost two weeks now and I've started to notice very faint vertical lines on the screen when on a white background, I can see them right now while writing this. It also happens in the settings screen. I'm not certain if there's something wrong or if it's always been this way and I hadn't noticed. Has anyone else noticed this? I wouldn't even say the line have a colour, it's just an alternate of darkish and white lines. I could just be looking too close, but I'm not certain.
Also I have noticed a slight black blur when using knock code, like when you would touch an old lap top screen, although a lot fainter. It only happens in one little section of the screen, but I noticed it when using the white stock wallpaper. It only seems to happen when I tap for knock code and I have noticed it when I apply slight pressure to that area. I have been delicate with the touch screen since, but I don't believe I used much pressure in the first place.
Hope I explained it well enough. Anybody else noticed anything similar? Am I being paranoid and these things normal?
There is large discussion on the "lines." I see them too, but think it is a result of the resolution itself. Nobody can say/prove what it is AFAIK.
If I press real hard on the screen in certain spots, it seems like I can replicate the second thing you're talking about. If yours does it when just lightly tapping, I'd exchange it.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I'm glad that the 'lines' aren't just in my imagination. Can you point me in the direction of the discussion on the lines?
I bought the phone online, but took into the store today to compare it to their demo model. It definitely doesn't have the same issue when I tap it. The salesperson wasn't sure what it was but she's going to send it in for repair/replacement. It sucks... now I'm going to have to wait till I get it back. The shop said they would have replaced it on the spot if I hadn't bought it online but from the store too.
Hopefully they get it back to me quick.
I hope no one else has this problem.
I think it's not the resolution itself, it's more about the software or kernel or something, LG implemented an oversharping thing which makes texts appear too sharp, but it's not only about texts, it's about the overall display! Notice when you scroll through LG Health page, you can see the lines moving, or changing in visibility, etc..
I have the same issue on my phone. There are very faint vertical lines most apparent on white and green colors and they seem to be rainbow colored. I have seen this issue with the at&t, t-mobile, and sprint versions of the G3 which my friends have.
It's not caused by the over sharpening effect because even after I flashed a fix for it, it still appears.
Almost as if it's like one of those 3d card/poster effects.
Hi guys,
is there any news on any fix on this?
I have the same problem. Should I RMA my phone?
Hi,
please have a look at the attached image, cause its hard to explain.
It was kind of strange... it started with some cloudy pixels in the middle of the screen, they went down to where they are now and got more intense.
Its now there since about 4 weeks without change.
Anyone experienced it? I guess I need to replace the screen, or is there any other chance? In case I have to replace it, what would I need to get? The touch screen digitzer or the full lcd display?
Thanks
Susi

Although i'm not an expert on this, But i should suggest you to replace Digitizer only because it seems like Display is okay just chemical imbalance between digitizer and display panel.
If you've proper tool to disable the device and with some flat hard plastic or something try to take this to the edge where it easily go out. To me Display seems okie. Because such things happen when we put phone in tight jeans and due to over compression such happens but it has nothing to with display panel, its just chemical in between display and digitizer.
I had an iPod 4th Gen,. Same kinda Dark black spot i've noticed after single drop on top right corner and later it disappear automatically. So just saying try that first rather buying whole new panel or digitizer. Flat blunt plastic to take that bubble to the side
Hi,
I've just noticed that on the left hand side of my screen I have a vertical bar around 2mm wide that looks corrupted in some way - like filled with horizontal hatched lines that I'm assuming are defective pixels or similar. It's a bit hard to describe, and even harder to get a decent photo of the problem. The attached is the best I could do.
The issue seems to be there all of the time, but is less noticeable on solid white / black backgrounds than it is on block colours.
Is this likely to be hardware issue, and would it be covered under UK warranty?
Thanks

That definitely looks like a faulty panel. Nothing like that on my 10 (Carbon Grey, Tianma).
I'd get in touch with HTC UK and see what they think.
I have exactly the same issue and i've had my phone a week. I didn't notice it at first but it's definitely more noticeable on non white backgrounds, i've checked it with a screen tester which you can go through blocks of colour with. I also have the same slight dip in the top left.
How has your warranty claim gone with HTC? I'm going to try phoning them up today. I bought my phone from Very.co.uk but would rather deal directly with HTC.
Following this as well as I have stuck pixels in the middle of the screen. Very have been difficult to deal with so I'd really like to know how things go with HTC UK
Hey just as a follow up. very.co.uk refunded me with no questions asked. They don't do replacements so you have to re-order.
