I shattered the Glass on my GTII. Being an intrepid soul, I bought replacement glass and fixed the problem. However, in doing so the display now looks like ass. The panel works, and everything is legible, but it as if the OLED has lost the ability to turn off pixels completely. The screen is now masked by a brown haze weighted towards green.
If this is fixable I'll be thrilled, but I'd like to know what I did just as much. The display panel had no problems before I replaced the glass. What I broke must have occurred early as I booted the device up as soon as the glass was off to check if the phone still worked.
The phone is running the latest Goodness Rom and so far everything else seems to work just fine.

I have a Tilt 2, and just recently noticed that when the screen is off, a section of the screen has the "rainbow like warp color". Its not oil or grease, it wont wipe off so the problem must be in the screen, though it looks like its on the surface. However, I do not notice any degradation when the screen is on. Everything color wise and everything looks normal.

Should I be worried about this? Is this a sign that even though the phone is new, and its never been mis-handled, that the screen is going to have problems soon? I have insurance on the phone and not sure if I could even get it replaced at this point, or if id have to wait until the screen actually has issues when its on.

I have it too. But it doesn't interfere with my use of the device, so I don't really care...
No there all like that, I have gone through 2 and they both had more then 4 dead pixels as well. Find a dark black photo or just turn your camera on and put you finger over the lens and you will find many.

The Newton Rings are probably very prevalent. I can’t say that I agree with your statement on the dead pixels though. Sounds like you got unlucky with both devices. I’ve tested mine with 4 images for black, red, green, and blue. Every pixel works fine for me.
Its caused by the layers between the touch screen digitizer and the actual LCD screen. The soft flexible LCD materials touch and form Newton's Ring patterns that appear as the pictures show.
On my old phone (A kaiser) the original screen did not exhibit this behavior, but when I replaced the screen, the new one did...
Luck of the draw,and no it is nothing bad...
I had this problem in european tp2 model... took it for repair and they changed the screen in warranty...
Hello.
Today my Desire slipped off the cover, and fell onto concrete floor.
Result - Cracked screen, scratches on the front panel. The back panel is intact.
Touchscreen seems to be working fine in every part of the display, and AMOLED itself seems to be OK - cant see any damage through the broken glass.
I guess that it's the protective glass broken, not the screen itself?
The main impact was on the corner.
So a question - could somebody suggest, where could I buy front panel replacement, with the protective glass?
I would like to hear any suggestions.
Thanks.
Search ebay for "Digitizer HTC Desire"

You mean, that it's not the protective screen, but the digitizer?
Well, I'm no expert on this...
But since the Desire has a capacitive touchscreen panel, I assumed this must be the top layer....
Okay, today i've recieved my new toucscreen.
Installed, and everything seems to work fine, but.
It is kinda bugged - sometimes it changes screens spontaneously, in some places it dont respond on my touch.
I dont know what to do now, any suggestions?
I've searched and I can't find anyone else that has the same screen issue as me (they may have but without a picture I can't be certain).
Anyway, I was pulling stuff out of my gym locker yesterday and something knocked my Evo out. Of course it fell flat on the bench, thus causing the screen to become damaged. However, my "cracked" screen doesn't look like any of the other cracked screens I've seen online. My front piece of glass (the part your finger actually touches) remains intact and in great condition (I know I can still unlock the screen because I can feel the haptic feedback of the capacitive buttons), but it's like the screen behind it is what's actually damaged.
Is that correct? And what part would I need to order to replace it. Thanks
I believe that its the lcd
yep thats the lcd itself
Yep, sounds like your digitizer is ok, but your lcd is borked.
Thanks everyone. Will probably be picking up an EVO 3D, then selling my OG after I fix it.
Bought this for my wife's phone. Pretty unhappy with it. First off there was some glue in the middle of the glass when i was about to apply it to the phone. So i already had to wipe this off otherwise there would have been a glaring mark on the screen. I used some glass cleaner and had to scrub pretty hard with a microfiber cloth to get it off. Once I dealt with that the screen itself fit pretty well.
But we shortly after we noticed that there was a major problem with the proximity sensor. You could see a faint red glow always on and the phone would not detect how far our heads were from the screen. Using a third party app the sensor would always read 0.0 cm. Once I removed it, everything was operating fine again. Lastly, we also noticed that the touch sensitivity was decreased while using the screen which was extremely annoying. Some screen swipes or taps just didn't register with the phone.
Overall, I would not recommend this product.
Currently, I'm still trying to email them about replacing it with a normal skin.
I broke my screen a while ago, and decided recently to go ahead and change it myself. I ordered a glass for 10$ on Ebay and when it arrived, I followed a tutorial on Youtube where I had to heat the front of my phone, then with a knife or something sharp lift the glass, then put the net one after I was sure everything was properly cleaned.
The problem is my screen was so shattered in some places that it was really hard to remove everything so I ended up applying more pressure on the AMOLED to remove the remaining glass pieces.
So I cleaned it afterwards, and placed the new one. Booted, and VICTORY, everything works... Or so I thought.
I noticed my touch screen now behaves oddly. For example if I type too fast it will miss some letters. If I press to hard on the screen it will become like it's completely unbalanced, registering toush inputs anywhere until I close I turn the screen off and back on.
If I try to draw on the screen (in Draw Something, for example) it won't be accurate, to the point I can't really play the game anymore.
My question is : do you think I broke something when applying heat (I didn't apply that much so I don't think so) or when removing the hard-to-remove last glass pieces? Or did I simply made some mistake when replacing the glass and it's not correctly in place (I noticed it's a little higher relatively to the bezel, compared to what it was before)? Maybe it's not perfectly in place...
Thank you for your advice! I'm a noob hardware-wise so I have no idea at all what's the problem!
