I think its a trick of the eye...
i 'thought' i had this too but after doing some measurements under a microscope i can conform that it was an optical illusion...

blue smear in screen

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
Kris
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

Improve Screen - HTC Flyer

Hello,
I have a best buy Wifi Flyer. The screen has a yellow tint on it. Super annoying and noticeable when you open the keyboard and compare to my Desire HD. Also noticeable when I go to google.com
To fix this I downloaded screen adjuster and set blue to 10, all others to zero.
Thats the setting I use, if anyone finds something better, let me know!
Don't know of anyone else that ever had this problem , but thanks for the info.

Yea, I don't know many ppl who have mentioned this. Hmm... I wonder if there are two diff screen manufactures for the Flyer like the Sensation :\
See the following for other references to yellow tint:

The Video demonstrates the screens yellow tint. Very noticeable on the few flyers I have used/seen. Very annoying too...
Any how, will report back.
Edit:
Can someone do the following:

I have a Sharp panel. BTW... the 10blue might be too much, I readjusted to 5. Seems a bit better.

i did that and there was nothing in the output about PANEL_ID
i even emailed the result to myself so i can check it properly, no panel id type when using dmesg
Sorry...
Don't look for that exact phrase... Just search for "panel" There should only be 2 instances.

yeppers, that worked...i also have a Sharp panel
doesn't look yellow to me???
I have had that same yellow tint, but sort of got used to it. Seems like a lot of people don't mind it because it isn't necessarily a defect, just that the default settings are a more "warm" temperature as opposed to "cool". I think it is just a preference thing, but thanks for the info! I downloaded it, but can't get it to correct perfectly. And I need to set blue closer to +20 in order to get near the coloring of my macbook pro screen.

Oh wow +20 :O
+20 seems very blueish to me lol.
Anyone else have an opinion? I'd like to see what could eliminate the yellow... but haven't found a setting as of yet.
THANKS
This is the best tip ever !
Just one word . Thanks!

[Q] Is this normal (just curious)

I was reading around the S3 forum.. notice some guy making a big noise about the screen flaw...
Here is the problem... i mistakenly drop my S3 on the back(lucky not front facing), nothing happen button everything ok.. but suddenly I notice the screen has a black border around it.. before it drop there was no border around it. So i'm really curious is this normal or there is a setting to remove it. If u can notice the picture i took of my phone.. any S3 owner out there can clarify for me this is normal or not?
Mine has the same black border. Didnt notice it before your post though
Thats odd, mine doesnt. Could be faulty. Email Samsung and add the pic. Dont tell them you dropped it tho.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Yeah it's supposed to have a 2mm black border but weirdly most people never notice it until it gets pointed out.
I think it's normal.
I have them too.
It's probably hardware related so don't expect a fix.
I understand there suppose to be a black border but look at my picture it seems to be larger than usual.. who should i email to in smasung.. i'm from Malaysia
Does factory reset solve the problem?

Yes there was!
Picture's too small so can't really see but it looks normal, and like I said most people don't notice the border until it's pointed out and then when you notice it looks huge.
it not suppose to be so thick? i believe and its only on the lock screen...
Try to upload a better picture.
There IS a black border its normal...
No, that's not normal. The border isn't supposed to be that large. The border on mine is barely noticeably against the white of the border.

That doesn't capture anything outside of the usable screen area. I'll try to borrow a camera later.

Here is a picture of the phone that shows the border. Its taken from the forum, not my picture. But mine looks the same.
Maybe this is a clearer picture? This is only at the lock screen... i remember b4 the incident it not suppose to be like this... I've also done a screen shot of it.. u notice it has a BIG black border around it... i'm seriously thinking does factory reset solve this problem.. cause its only at the lock screen

Logo in Button

While rubbing my finger across the Verizon logo I can feel it protrudes.. I feel like this can be rubbed or gently scratched off.. Has anyone given it a go yet?
never mind after closer examination I can now tell it is etched... damit
what color note do you have?

I am thankful I got the grey version, it's barely noticeable. The white it stands out like Mike Tysons tattoo.

lol Well there is this as an option for the white one, although $7 seems rather high for a vinyl sticker
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200848039382?hlp=false&var=
Yeah, I have white and it's pretty annoying. My button even looks like it's a bit twisted, and isn't lined up properly. I'll probably try and take care of covering it with something myself instead of buying a sticker. The white of the button is even more white than the rest of the phone.

Does that mean that you can't remove it with some nail polish remover?

Nope. Etched means it's physically carved into the button. You aren't getting that off.

Since it's etched INTO the button.. meaning the words Verizon and their dumb logo is basically cut into it.. so no, applying all the nailpolish remover in the world will not do what we'd like.
I'm also bothered by the illusion that the whole damn thing is crooked! lol I have tried to turn the key a bit to see if there's slop..
I have white also and while it's a little annoying at first, I'll live with it.
its a little tiring but I will wait for other solutions which are sure to come soon

i'd like to mention i dont think the gray is etched in. I compared both phones and my nails dont get caught in the gray one like the white does. THis could be because the button is painted. I dont really want to gamble this theory with nail polish remover tho or non-acetone chemical.
The logo on the button isn't a big deal to me....thought I would hate it, but nah.

Is this screen protector correcting the problem of reverse polarization?

I can't tell what technically happens, but try and watch the screen with polarized lenses sunglasses and the screen is plain black, you have to look very closely to barely see something, turn the phone in any directions even upside down and your display magically reappears... Pretty annoying while using the phone outdoors (with good sunglasses )
