[Q] M8 screen issue? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm a user from Singapore and I purchased my M8 around 4 hours ago, get to play with it for a while and i noticed this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
there is a 'leak' of white light coming out on top of the display
Is this normal? anyone having this 'leak' like me?
However the bottom of the screen seems to be fine though
Please advice.
Thanks all.

that's interesting, mine isn't like that. manufacturing error?

Return it back if you can. Repair in Czech Republic .... The people there should get to the emergency with their eyes.... They tould me display is ok..... Pictures that i have posted here they SAW, but they sayed everytime, that they se nothing. So a advice to you... Give it back and search a new one.
HTC oné M7 had to return to the suplier because od the quality 3 PCS back. The HTC one max i can't více back i use it 4months. If i could více it back, i would it do right now.

i'd return it if you can. Looks like its excess light coming from a reflection of the lcd. It looks like my old bionic did when I didn't have enough glue between the class and the case which sets it to the screen. Maybe that could be the issue?

Thanks guys for the replies and advices. I think i will bring it to htc service centre tomorrow!

Hi mate. Sorry for asking you this question as this thread was started way long back. Is your device normal after the repair, or it behaves the same ? Did the service center people put scratches on the display ? Body ? Lemme know. Thanks in advance :good:

I did went to the service centre, they didnt do anything when i first went there.
They said that there's no replacement parts or another set for me to do an exchange.
So they said that they will do a one for one exchange for me when they have a set.
But the customer service is crap and im not using htc anymore though.

I have the exact same thing on my Verizon m8. I decided not to risk returning it for a potential refurbished phone and decided to live with it. Unfortunately it makes my screen look like crap when dark colors are on the screen because there is like a massive crease on the sides of my screen. If I tap in a certain area on my phone I get a similar effect to applying pressure on a TV monitor.

Hey there, Hi. So, you're locked onto not returning the device for a new one, right ? Do they give you refurbished handsets when you return them in the US ? Or may be you get a refurbished one sometimes ?

It's luck of the draw really. Most times you'll vet a refurbished model and I wasn't willing to risk it with one of those. The screen problem is only really minor, I can live with it

Thanks for the reply. Does yours look the same as the picture shown in this thread ? With that light leaking from the top ? That image shows leaking all over the top part of the display. Does yours do the same ? I guess you must have sent your M8 for a repair, right ?

Very similar yes, except on the right side of the screen not top/bottom. There are not as many white lines either, its only a couple prominent ones. And no, I did not send it for repair I decided to keep my phone. Didn't feel like going through all the trouble although I regret it at this point.

But ultimately [ONLY] HTC devices last for a long time compared to others OEM's. My wildfire is up and running except for the outdated software. The battery I guess holds only (70-80) % of the charge. Lol, my GPU is faster than its CPU ! Its on its way to 4th Anniversary ! :good:

Yes, I have the same issue. I have like 3 big and 2 small lights leaking from the right side of the display. The big ones are like 1/2 cm long. Can you upload a snap with 100% brightness and power saver turned off on a black background/image ? I don't have any cameras right now to take snaps and upload them. I'll do it in 2 days. Can you please do it ? Thanks in advance :good:

Looks like the body has been overly stressed. You'll see the same thing in perspex and glass when it's bent but not broken. I'd say someone was a bit too active with the phone in a tight pocket.

Likewise no effect on my white one, just like xmoo I was in direct sunlight for 10 days as well in Turkey on my holiday and no peeling effect like that.
Yep, phones need holiday too sometimes.

what about Cause for this issue ?
many body have this issue by normal use.
I think you already have your questions answered isn't?
To much sunlight
It's stressed/bend to much
Another thing I can think off is that the phone is dropped.
How do you know many body have this issue, where do you base that on?

@Miilo, did I answer you?
I have no issues with the body, maybe a good advise is to talk to HTC and claim your warrantee.

screen crack NO!!!

I am in Uk, my One X has developed a crack across the screen, still works, but it looks ugly, anyone know a contact number of someone who can fix this for me!?
its horizontal and you can't even feel it!

Ouch, that sucks man! Honestly, it's probably not worth the cost of repair if that's as bad as it is. My Infuse is my daily phone and it's screen is shattered far worse than that. One crack, even going across the screen isn't too bad when replacement could be very pricey, and you may just crack it again.
I saw another thread on this and it sounds like the LCD is glued to the glass, which makes it very difficult to separate without breaking the LCD as well. Your best bet may be to send it in for replacement. Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of info on fixing the screens on these yet.
This is exactly why I just signed up with insurance today on mine. I always end up with cracked screens some how, and I'm usually very careful. Even with the insurance though, there's a $75 deductible, and I don't know if it'd be worth it still for just one crack.
UK repair is £145.
no other places in the UK other than HTC did it a couple of weeks back because they couldn't source the parts. told them i coule provide them with it but they weren't willing to do it
mine cracked after two weeks, worked perfectly, but there were hundred of cracks across the screen. no way was i willing to live with it for 2 years
Thanks for the reply, the irony was I was holding it in the case not realising it was upside down then BOOM dropped onto Brick paved driveway
Fully expect to have to pay for screen replacement surely HTC must offer some service / support?

the phone is assembled in such a way that the entire assembly occurs on the screen, so you have to strip the phone back to literally every single component

7 working days from receipt. i got mine back after two weeks, including a bank holiday. it was also just after the phone came out so maybe there was a delay getting the parts then?
they send out fedex to collect the phone, could even come the day after you call

[Q] New display but after 3 hours broke again

Hi to all, today besides it looks like Friday 13th. (my car broke down) I took after I dropped my HTC One X my phone from the service with a new display.
After 2 hours I have been called and saw that the display again is broken from the left side, near the usb towards the top, (power button) is a line and cracked.
I really don't know and paid much money today and to pay again?
Could this happen or should I blame myself?
I always take good care of the phone and always carry it in my side pocket which is wide enough...
Can anyone advice me what to do?
If you are 100% positive that the screen was intact when you got it out from the service, you should take it back and council with the person who serviced the phone. It there are no signs of physical abuse or anything, you should have some kind of warranty on the display or at least on the changing service.

thank u for the reply..the service will not give me a new one..but is the display so sensitive? i mean could it break by wrong installation?
Are you sure it was completely perfect at the service center? Did you inspect your phone whatever the screen was replaced correctly or there were any cracks from the beginning?
There's not much you can do over here... You can tell them what happened and ask for replacement but I'm not sure they will replace it for free...

as far as i could see the screen was ok...im not an expert in replacing but could it be by placing the screen wrong it could crack?
Okidoki as far as i did not get the right answer to this burning question of mine another..whats the difference between the original screen and a clone? I see lots of advertising on ebay claiming its a original HTC One X screen..
How to recognise this?
If I order a new display by my self..in what kind of price tag should i look at?
Anyone?

Thank you!! Great and I ordered a new display there and the price is much cheaper than the price offered here in Skopje, Macedonia.
But still 1 question how to recognize a clone from an original screen?
What I noticed is that the screen replaced on my phone is slight smaller as at the bottom part I can see the led light trough the house shining.
Also the left < is not shining while the home and > button is lighting.
The time before (when it has been replaced also) I had the same problem. At daytime its hard to notice but at night its very clear that only 2 buttons are lighting up.
Hahahahaha epic fail.......cough goo cough gle is cough your best friend.
here you can see my broken screen and the navigation button which is not lighting up
That has been the same case with the other replacement.
Also the crack is at the same position as the last one
I paid 100 euro for this one.

LOL :good:
Ok here my last try as in the 3 days I did not get any answer, it might be that this issue is unknown?
Anyway one more try..
My HTC One X broke now a couple of times and the last time it broke at the same space as before, again I did not drop it
At the bottom I can clearly see a small open space and the 3 navigation led light shining although the navigation arrow on the left (see attached picture) is not lighting up and at night it can't be seen.
The main reason for this topic to get more informed and to put a claim at the mobile phone service and to get my money back.
Also looking at Ebay for a screen replacement it looks like a jungle as all are claiming to sale original displays but again prices are from 45 - 150 euro's. Is there some way to recognize a none (clone) original screen from a original?
Again sorry for this chain of mine on this topic but i just wonder why twice my display cracked at the same place.
It's just a coincidence that the screen broke at exactly the same point...
By looking at what you've said... I think the screen might not have fitted correctly... Hence causing the led not to shine as brightly as it should... May be there is some gap left...
About the screen originality... It's really hard to determine... If you could send us the link of the part which you are buying.. Then someone might be able to judge it's authenticity..

Thank you very much your answer
I also think it was not placed on the correct way and than the issue of the left navigation without lighting up as it should.
And the cap.
I wrote to rounded.com but no reply from them.
Maybe if someone could take a look at Ebay in Europe and to advise me which one to buy?
Should I buy the whole thing again complete or just the glass?
Also can be in a PM here.
Again thanks for the help :good: :good: :good:
They say its easier to replace the touchpanel and the digitizer in one.....many people had trouble to disassemble the 2 components from each other !

Listen, stop complaining that people aren't answering your questions. As Mr.Hoff has repeatedly tried to tell you, people have NO OBLIGATION to answer you, nor does it mean that because they're on XDA They know the answer to your questions. XDA is a priviledge, without XDA you probably wouldn't have a place to even ask your question.
NOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
The difference between HTC Screen and a Generic Replacement screen is alot.
HTC Screen = LCD2 which is basically HD screen
Generic = LCD Screen with a much lesser resolution.
Also the part numbers are different, the only REAL way to tell whether you have the LCD2 screen or not.
However I cannot tell you the exact part number for a OEM HTC LCD2 Display.
Now stop ranting.

Is this one plus for real?!

Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a one plus 3 from a guy which is selling it extremely cheap and I would like to ask you guys, in what ways I could check if the device is real and not just a replica and also if It's not stolen. I will meet with the guy today so I would appreciate everything you tell me test on the device before making the purchase. I already asked him for the picture of the invoice.. now I'm waiting for his reply.
BTW this is the picture he sent me of the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you :good:
when you meet, ask to plug it in to a outlet, if it dashcharges, its real.
or
open bootloader by turning off phone and press volume up+power, it should be named someting ms8996 or something like that.
Whats the price?

I saw you comment and first off I'd like to say its already a chinese branded phone and very modest company, not your usual suspects for making "Phoney." (pun intended) Also I do not own the phone yet, but since you're cautious I'll still help you out.
When I buy phones from untrusted/unknown parties I always meet them in very open public places and look them in the eye when they're talking, looking for signs of anxiety or hesitation.
Now onto the phone itself:
pop the sim tray out make sure there are 2 slots (real oneplus 3 has 2 slots). okay
Go to settings> about phone check the imei with this: https://swappa.com/esn (its free and trusted site)
pop one of my sim cards in and make a phone call. go back to settings> about phone and check the baseband, model number, build number etc. and make sure they are correct/up to date.
go to the camera (usually the stock app) and I test photos and videos.
turn on bluetooth and make sure it searches for my headset which i have on at the time.
Open a web browser and see how fast the app opens and open multiple tabs and different websites in each.
For a phone like this I would feel the quality of the build because most knock-offs just don't feel like "real"
and LAST but not LEAST go to settings> security and check the fingerprint sensor, (how fast it esponds, if it responds at all, nothing is for sure but chances are very slim that a knock-off company is putting a high quality fingerprint system in a knock-off phone. I do all of this while talking to him/her about how the yankees are really sucking this year, and telling them my fantasy football team is better than theirs by a long shot.
I sure hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
Check the Android version. If it says Nougat, then it is obviously a fake one.
Thank you! Isn't there an app that can check if the phone is real? Like all the internals and camera module? I heard there's one with the name similar to AIDA..
Also, could anyone post the latest settings page where I can see the latest build/baseband and so on, please?
Thank you all

he's selling for 150 euros. The charger looks like he bought it in the UK (UK plug)

That's suspicious, I would never buy this.
Water damage isn't visible from the outside but you could be screwed later on.

What if I do every test mentioned above? As a sound test?
If everything works well, it shouldn't be a problem.. it's even seen the original screen protector..

You could easily get 300 euro for OP3 so for me the real question is (and it should be your question as well) Why would the seller throw away 150 euro? Why would anybody do that? Nobody would unless something is wrong.

Looks real. Exactly like mine did whwn I got it. But what's to say that's what you will receive. Especially at half price.
Buy using a reputed site and pay using a known payment method.
That way if you do get cheated will have some way to get your money back.
Isnt that fingerprint Sensor/ home button too thick and too small from left to right?

Yeah it actually does look a little weird. Not the same compared to mine. Mines shorter from top to bottom and longer left to right.

It looks real, it still has the screen protector on it too, have him take a pic of the back and get the imei and look it up, it seems legit, maybe he won it and is just selling it cheap, just make sure it powers on and no other issues

If you can get internet... Download the Geekbench 3 from playstore and run a test and you should get around 2250+ singlecore score and 5400+ multicore score (If you can only download geekbench 4 then score is around 1700 for single and 4000 multicore)

That's not a UK plug, looks US to me which means it's running different bands than the EU model. Check it'll work on your network

3g bands should be ok but 4G can be problematic.

HTC10 Screen Problem.Is this hardware or software related?

Hey guys.I'm new here and I'm a HTC10 user for the first time.Before this phone I used LG Nexus4 and P970.
I'm loving this device so far.The device is with me for 7-8 months.But last month it snowed here in Turkey and I was on my way to basketball match at night in the Arena.I saw this issue for first time at that night.Thought it's about cold weather(because it's metal body?).BTW I've got a Spigen's 2 pieced case.
Also this device has been already RMAd once because of screen popped out(glue was not strong enough I guess).
But this month I'm seeing it almost everyday.When I touch screen with a little pressure it's going away for a second and comes back or not(it's just random sometimes).Sometimes I can't even take photo because of randomness of this issue.Also there's a little white dot in the bottom right corner of screen.It appears at white backgrounds and it's brighter than other areas.This is also an issue for me.
Tomorrow I'll RMA my phone to local service in here.
Just wanted to let you guys now about this and ask what it is all about?
It was my first subject in the forums.So sorry if I'm on the wrong place and sorry about my english.It's just not that good
Here's the album for images.I can't add images to forum yet.Please put "." instead of "*"

It has a lot of display problem. HTC 10 is flawed
Today I got the call from repair service.They said my device is repaired.Here's what's changed:
-Motherboard(New IMEI)
-Cpu (Dunno why)
-Lcd screen (From Sharp to Tianma)
Everything is perfect for now.Happy to get back on my musics with this phone and Hd598Cs. :highfive:
There's one thing I noticed because I used both LCD screens from Sharp and Tianma.
Sharp had a shadows(kinda look like it) on the side of panel.And Tianma has a yellow tint at bottom side of screen.Some guys said that It's glue and will go in time

Sounds like they've repaired it rather than swap it out. A like for like would have been the best outcome for yourself.

Yeah I'm happy with the way of solution.
Because someguy in here(Turkey),got a swap report and waited for a new device about 3 months.Because our services gather all devices in together once in month and at that time there was no swap unit for the guy.So he just waited,waited and waited...
But here's the thing,if you're going to change mobo,cpu and LCD;why don't you just swap? Only things that aren't repaired probably the camera,speakers,antennas etc.

They look at the units creation date if it's BER then they'll swap it.

Released in April, I got mine on release day, could be a faulty batch. As you can't really communicate with htc directly (as in the tech who'll be looking at the phone) you have very little sway over what they do next.
It'd be interesting to see if they share notes with each other based on your case file, perhaps talking with them directly they can agree that a like for like replacement would be the most viable option moving forward. If not I'd say insurance would be the only other option, besides third party but at this point a patch up wouldn't fill me with confidence.
Sorry mate, not a lot more I can think of.

Any idea how I could identify mine?
Nvm, mine is a sharp.
You can identify it with the Dev check app. Not sure if that's what you already used.

Yeah that's how I checked my screen.If you ask about serial number it was on the box or in the box.There was a sticker on my box when I bought.
And btw I got my phone back from repair last week.They repaired it quick,about 3 days.There's no problem but the yellow tint at bottom of screen.It's a common issue with Tianma,at least people say so.

This the third? And theres a yellow tint? Sweet jesus you've not had much luck have you?
Sorry mate, but if that were me i'd be sending it back and asking for a new one, I'd cause hell over the phone with them. I'd make sure that the repair guys who are physically going to touch my device got the memo.
Really bad.

Well there's difference between UK Customer Services or HTC UK and HTC Turkey.For example: HTC Turkey says "You can replace it or get a reserve phone while yours is getting repaired,bla bla. But services say they'll give it to you if yours is not repaired after 10 work-days.Also HTC Turkey is not good at marketing,production or customer services.Some guys waited 3-6 months for replacement unit.
I'm using the same device but first time screen popped out from bottom left and changed.Also back button light was very dim than the other one.Then there was this screen problems at imgur album appeared,showed line like artifacts and white dot at bottom right(That's white dot is also common in a lot of users).Screen,mobo and CPU changed but still with the same metal body(I know it because there's a tiny dent at the body).

Appreciate different regions may have different levels of customer service, even though I strongly disagree with this.
Perhaps a complain to htc global? Explaining your predicament?
I'm not sure mate,
