My device has "acquired" a blue smear in the screen ... Is this going to be perminent?
.. don't know how it got there .. think it must be pressure caused .. but don't see how that would have happened through...
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

I had this problem. Mix peanut butter and a lil clorox on a rag. Rub it on for a min then wipe it off.

Does this appear to be under the screen or on top?
It's under the screen... Had a screen protector on it from day one.. took that off to make sure it wasn't on the screen

Ugh, it is sounding a bit like you have somehow caused the liquid crystal to leak from the LCD. When there is a thin film on, below, or between a lens it causes the optical symptoms you describe. I could be wrong, but without looking at it and given the description if I were a betting man that is what I would bet on.
I have the same blue streak but its only visible under sunlight at the right angle. Doesn't really bother me.

That would be another optic symptom of some sort of liquid on a film. If you ever see a rainbow it's almost a sure thing.

I'm sure its something that occurred during the production of my phone. It doesn't affect anything and I sure as **** don't want a 1.50 hboot phone. Since its only visible in direct sunlight and at a certain angle I live with it. Kinda interesting to see someone else with the same issue though.

Yeah, this is BS. Makes me mad, you guys can fix it if you really want to though. Get on Ebay and look for the glass + digitizer + LCD and housing all in one piece, that way you can fix it without getting hboot 1.5

Hi all!
Today I observed a rainbow blur on my TG01 upper display, it's seems like a liquid ,but it's under the surface and I can't clean it. It's like the crystal liquid it's came out somewhere or somehow.
It's could be a fissure or it's something else?
If it is, how it's this possible, because I treathed this phone like a jewel?
What do you think ,what it is.....?
I uploaded two photos about this.
What should I do?
Sorry for my english.
Thank you for answears.
do you have a screen protector on the screen? if so remove it and see if it disapears

There is no Screen protector uplied by me, it's in same shape like out of the box, only that, this movement was 2 months ago (out of the box)
I had the same with my first TG, that because you put it in your pocket without big protection.
This big screen don't like a "hold pressure"

Thank's , I will give it a try, and keep you inform about the situation.
my touch its dead
So I started testing.
the problem its touch screen.
display its ok!
touch screen is on a plastic surface.
Initially there was very little distance between the two
because of adhesive tape on the plastic (touch screen)
after a while they are to close, and then see those refraction,
the rainbow.

Thank's It's very good information, this way we know that rainbowing effect it's caused by the construction of the phone and can happen with anybody, so in this cause Orange (in my case) must replace the phone in guarantee...
I will keep you guys in touch.
Unless I'm very much mistaken this rainbow effect is harmless, because you can't see it when the backlight is on, and it doesn't affect device operation. It doesn't look as good when the device is turned off, but that's about it.
Or am I mistaken?

the rainbow that u see on the screen is called a newton's ring, it happens from pressure applied on the screen, it only happens to resistive touchscreens and not capactive, and if u dont take care of it, it may start to spread, i recommend that you should have used to screen protecter beacuse it usually helps protect this from happening, good luck!
What kind of screen protector would you recommend? Surely any kind of transparent soft case will apply the same kind of pressure to the screen. Or do you mean some kind of hard case that prevents any contact with the screen?

Hi guys
In Poland We have this same problem.
This is a unstick touch layer.
The reason of problem is bad heat dissipation from procesor.
When We use very strong own TG01 the Snapdragon have about 60'C and this type touch display is very susceptible to heat.
This problem is general problem of users TG01.
The cost of new touch display is hmm about 45 Euro.
After about 5 months use the first "oil spots" appear on the display.
When We use with this problem after 1 month have problem with less sensitivity of the screen.
i just saw the same thing with my tg01 today...but it`s a lot bigger...about 3 quarters of the screen but in the center...what should i do?
ps: i keep it in my jacket pocket...and there is no presure on it...i don`t know what could o caused this...

Yep the 3D does have light bleed along the bottom of the screen and up the sides. Doesn't appear to be as bad as the Evo 4G but it is there.
And I don't thing the power button is any different either. It the same hard to find one on my Evo 4g.

Yup, same here. It's minor, and doesn't really bother me. Barely noticeable.
The powerbutton though, how's it hard to find? It's always in the same spot and never moves!
yes, this is one of the things i wish htc fixed but i have it too.. im going to ask for a new one because i have a white spot near the home button from the light.. guess the black under the glass didnt cover that little pin size spot.
as for the light bleed... i always use a case on my phone, do i dont see it much. sucks that its there i guess but not a deal breaker

Mine is the same way, a little light bleeding from the capacitive buttons, but not a big deal at all.
I see it in a well lit room. I had to go in a dark room with my dslr to get the picture. maybe I'll get a case but I sure do like to streak.
Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
No bleed with my Otterbox covering the bottom of the phone. =)

I have it too...but its really really minimum. If I use my case, its all covered up anyway...no biggie..

To each there own. Personally I don't like companies doing shotty work on any part of my device. It's not bad but when I'm laying in bed on the EVO it was annoying and could make watching videos not good. Like I said I'm weird but I like my products made with care and without batch defects.
That being said it not as bad as the original but its a shame they couldn't fix such a stupid issue.

Of course it's not a big deal, but it's really something that just shouldn't happen. When cheaper phones by HTC can have no leaks, then it means it's all just a matter of quality control.
Both phones have light bleed at the bottom. It's there. It is very hard to photograph. I won't go into why it is so hard to photograph. But it shows up very well in a bright room.
No light bleed here whatsoever

I don't usually imagine things, but I hope I am imagining this. Could everyone take a very close look at their screen and see if it seems that the display is slightly tilted to the right? Almost like it is slighty rotated... like by one or two pixels. It would be most noticeable (if you are afflicted) by looking very closely at the upper right corner of the status bar.
Are there any video screen testers to download that would give me a better perspective?
My actual LCD is tilted by 1-2 pixels to the right under the glass. Was the first thing I noticed when I turrned it on and looked at it deadon. Not enough to make me return it, but it's BARELY noticeable. Had the same issue with a refurbed OG Evo from Sprint when mine broke.
Then again, I have perfect vision and I pay attention to the smallest and dumbest details.
is your 3d/2d switch loose front to back?
j/w b/c mine is and it bugs the crap outa me. also noticed the screen seemed to be recessed a tad more in the top right. but thats me nit picking really.
I thought I was going insane when I noticed this, its barely noticeable but I knew something felt off, especially if I looked right at the top by the status bar like the OP said. .

Thankfully I didn't get one. I'm going to wait for newer hardware builds or a better offering from Sprint. I would take it back if its noticeable.
Maybe I don't know what to look for, but my screen looks perfectly fine.

I have hw 002. After I read the OP, mine looked off. However, I think it's just an illusion. From my high "technical" exam, all four corners appear fine in of themselves. It's only when I look at the clock in relation to the rest of the bar does it start looking off.

yes, there are a few threads already about this issue. some people are saying it is just the reflection of the bright ass lights on the heptic buttons bouncing off the lip of the case but i don't think it is. if i put something in between the buttons and the bottom of the phone i still see it. it doesn't bother me one bit. u have to be really anal to have this be a big issue.
Yea, I didn't think much of it. Didn't notice it till tonight. Sorry about the repost didnt see a main thread about it. = / I think I kinda like it tho, it rounds out the bottom of the phone. Is sorta a dock for the buttons. =}

Not really a issue for me its due to the bright ass keys I know what light leakage is I had it once on a refurbished EVO in the past. Happy the 3d no issue for me also the tpu case seems to work really well with it .
Stops that funky ass rattle u would get when typing on the on screen keyboard due to the camera button . First time I heard it was hoping it wasn't my glass on the screen coming apart had that happen on the EVO glue wasnt that good.
It may be hard to see in the picture, but my phone has streaks or ripples inside the screen. I noticed the problem day one before putting on a screen protector. Does anyone else have this issue or do I have a defective device?
If you're referring to the pyramid looking shapes "underneath" your screen that you can only really see from a side angle...that is what allows you to see the 3d images...if you're not referring to those...then we need a better pic, because there's too much going on in your current one to tell what could be a flaw

It's tough to see exactly what you mean, but I think I see what you're talking about. The flash reflection makes it difficult to see. Anyways, if it's not the screen protector causing it, then I'd probably say it's defective. I have no flaws or blemishes in my screen at all. I'd take it to Sprint and get it checked out.
normal...stop looking at your phone in unusable angels under bright lights and you should be ok and never see it.
I do apologize for the lousy pic. I was reading about the 3D tech in the screen and understand that is there. Instead of my screen being solid black when it's off, it has random marks that kind of look like stretch marks. In a dark room its unnoticeable however at work(where it's bright as crap) I can actually see the lines while the screen is on. Couldn’t find any info on this anywhere.
I had the same thing on my first E3D and the guy at sprint thought I was crazy. You can only see them at the right angle so they are not noticeable 85% of the time. When I got my hands on a second E3D and held it just right the guy saw the same thing and did a return. No problems with the screen on my new one.
Mine is evident at any angle. I hate to complain, but I'll have this phone for over 2 years so I think I'll convince my sprint store to trade it out again. First one had large dust, dead pixels, majorly tilted screen. For me if I didn’t notice it all the time at work then it wouldn’t be an issue, but I do.
My friend had **** appear under his screen.... I want to say it looked like liquid, but it was very uniform and the water sticker things had not been tripped. it could only be seen under bright light such as the sun. Needless to say he returned it, the store employee said he had never seen it before.

Slightly, but nowhere near as prominent and uniform as with the 3d. You had 5 bad phones homie!
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. I researched all over the internet and could not find a reasoning behind these so called water marks or stretch marks under the screen. It must have something to do with the way HTC melds the screen together. Anyway I'm going to the sprint store today to see if they will work with me as it is obviously a defect. Seems to be an extremely rare issue so far or no one has noticed. Unfortunately for me where I work we have very bright lights so I noticed it right away. As with any product there seems to be a few bad batches of these phones out there. Hopefully number 3 will be near perfect.
Here's a slightly better pic
Perhaps you could clean the screen and then post a fresh pic. I'm having a difficult time discerning smudges from what you're referring to.
Do you have a screen protector on your phone?
Me and 3 friends have 3d's. Every one has the same thing, if you look at them from the side, almost 90 degrees, you can see a texture to the glass, and it almost seems like you would be able to feel it, but I believe its just the gorilla glass resin.

EDIT....and im talking about the ripples....not scratches..i dont think scratched would be there by default
I would take it in. I can clearly see what you're talking about, and mine definitely doesn't have any kind of vertical streaking like that.
Okay, if the screen was clean in that last pic, I think I see what you're talking about now. The darker lines that almost look like a fingernail drew them? And you're sure they aren't between your screen protector and the glass? I'd take it back, that's not right.
