today i have noticed that there is a very small black dot on lcd, but i dont think its a dead pixel, because its visible when the screen is off, like a little dust under screen !
is it possible that dust goes under hd7 screen ?
how can i fix that ?
I have the same issue. But I leave it as it is ´cause I don´t want to make it worse and in normal operating it doesn´t bug me so much.
what is it ? is it dust or dead pixel do you think ?
but its annoying in white background
Well indeed I think it is a dead black pixel since it doesn't move like dust.
It doesn't disturb since the display never is fully cleaned :-]
My first HD7 had dust under the screen straight out the box, 2 specks by the arrow up the top right, I exchanged it as it also had a gap on the battery cover so I could see the SIM card.
replacement was perfect, so a bit of dodgy quality control at HTC by the looks of it..

hi John.
I have HD7 and the battery cover has a gap- as you described...
where did you send your hd7 in order to be replaced?
Did you send it dirtectly in HTC's?
or did you address to the shop you bought it?
how many days did they spend to replace your mobile?
Thanks for your help
the small dots under the screen is not dust specs.
its actually the insulators builted in the screen..
if u place the screen under then sun with a black screen (lcd off) u can see there is actually quite a number of them.
they are visible if u tilt it to a certain angle..
i place a matte type screen protector and its not visible anymore.
anyway i still hate the tarnished camera button.
nevertheless, my kick stand starts to paint-pill even though i have not even use them. =(
but i still love wp7.

I know what are you saying, but this dot is different from them, its not on that grid, its only one and when the background is white its visible as dark color
but i dont think its a dead pixel too, it is a little far from lcd and seems to be under the front glass !
I couldnt do anything with it
This is probably a really stupid question, but is it normal to be able to see the crystalline structure of the LCD screen on this phone? I just got it replaced today as my old phone was faulty, and basically if you look at this new one either at a slight angle, or when there's a reflection you can see all the small rectanglular structures making up the screen? I don't know if it's just that I never noticed on the previous one I had, or if it's a problem? First noticed it as when the screen is black it looks a bit stripey...
thanks.

Depends on the light and angle (black screen only), my one has the same. These are the capacitive screen sensors, nothing to worry about.

Do you have the JDC screen by any chance? I think it's only on the JDC screen that this occurs. My old one (before this replacement) was a sharp and didn't have this issue. I want to get it replaced but CPW say it's not really a fault as such. But this display is essentially terrible - colours aren't reproduced correctly, if I want to watch a film, everything is somewhat blue and it's essentially unusable outside because of how visible the sensors are.

Have the same issue here. Just bought the Xperia Z a week ago, and the touch sensors(if those are them) over the screen are really visible when outside and the light reflects it, basically makes no sense to have a fhd display if half transparent lines covering it. I have checked other Xperia Zs at phone shops and so far all of them had it. It's pretty annoying, and this is one of the reasons I will ask to exchange mine to an HTC one, aside of the poor battery life. Apart of that striking beautiful design.

Sharp manufactured screen here and the sensors are visible, although just barely, and only when the light hits it in the right (wrong) angle.
Same for me, on my c6602 the sensors are visible at any angle other than direct view. Its a jdc screen.
I also have a c6602 with a sharp screen and the sensors are barely visible. it actually seems like there is more space between the touch sensor and screen which hides them better than the Jdc. Although the Jdc does have better contrast.
Personally I can't stand seeing the touch sensors on the Jdc regardless of contrast and prefer the look of the sharp screen.

Sorry, it's a c6603 model with the sharp screen 13W07 AAC.
The c6602 is jdc, 13W11 AAC
Both are black.

Got the Xperia Z yesterday and this issue drives me crazy... in 90% of the time I can see it. Inside, outside, different light environment etc.
It's a JDC display.
Thanks for this thread! JDC screen here too and mine looks exactly the same - I thought that my phone's faulty but now I can see that it's common with this screen producent.. It seems that you either get Sharp with greyish black or JDC with capacitors showing.. what a shame!
Anyone tried to contact Sony about this?
Got it too. No idea what's my screen, but is this something to worry about? I don't see any issues with the screen.

I believe that as long as it does not disturb you, it's not a problem. It won't break the phone in any way. It's mainly a matter of aesthetics, although it may also make reading the screen in direct sunlight more difficult.
Unless I'm mistaken? Anyone wishes to share their thoughts?
Anyone else experiencing visible blacklight from the screen edges? I have a very pronounced strip of blacklight coming from my right hand side when viewing bright content from a slight angle. Compared to the other side, it looks like a defect.

It`s totally normal the led`s are not on the back, but on the side of the screen and a light guide channels the light across the screen, this is what happens on every lcd screen, the word back-light is an misnomer.
EDIT: so the white led`s are at the right side of the screen and light goes across the screen to the left side, that is why the light does not show on the left side as much.
But the light should not be excessive., if it is get it replaced.
John.
Yeah. I know that this is how edge led lit LCD's work. But does every H1 owner have this clearly visible strip along one edge?
I can see it to a much lesser extent on my father's H1.
My old HOX does not have this at all. The HOX screen even looks better as it seems like it is floating on the glass surface!

I have check my One five times for dead pixels and for backlight leakage and i saw nothing.
I just checked for backlight leakage again using lcdtest at full brightness though all the colors, and mine is very very slight, really nothing at all
Yours is quite bad, if it`s bothering you get an exchange, but you dont know what you will get.
EDIT : I had a HOX and the display was perfect, but after 2-3 days i had a yellow patch show up, and i returned it and got an S3 instead.

Thanks. Anyone else care to check their screens? I have the opportunity to send it in for a repair, but unsure if I want to be phoneless the next few weeks...
Hi All,
I've just purchased an Xperia SP and I noticed something on the screen that makes me consider trying to return in, but I'm not sure whether this is actually a fault in the device or not.
I noticed that there are evenly spaced, faint lines running vertically across the screen from top to bottom. They are especially visible over light backgrounds, and although not that bad, they are definitely there. I compared the screen to that of my previous phone (Arc S) and it doesn't have these lines.
Could someone tell me whether the lines on my new phone warrant a replacement, or if this is the way it should look?
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Does anyone get any inconsistent light bleed at the bottom of the screen, I know light bleed is normal in current screen technology, i'm just curious, top and left/right side looks fine on my unit, it's just the bottom, I will not return my unit as it isn't realy consider a defect.

Come to think of it, you can only see it if you are on the lock screen using the white, rose or white background, I did notice this as well on the other units before I chosen this one as my final one.
I have a slight light bleed on the bottom right hand corner. i only notice it if i really look for it,. it only shows on brighter colors. Only thing im afraid of is it getting worse.. my xperia z3 compact had the same issue, but way worse. it was yellowish, so i think it was the glue melting or something. whats crazy about the z3 compact having the issue is; i bought the phone with a cracked display and sent it to Sony to fix/replace everything that was broken and i received it like that. i havent owned one IPS display device without having light bleed.
PS. i have the xperia x, non performance.
No light bleed here. You're talking bottom of screen above speaker?

im talking about the very bottom right part of the bezel. think of it as if you had a white tool bar at the very bottom, you would notice it on the right edge of the screen, on the bottom portion. it goes up about half an inch. I would get it replaced, but then id be without a phone and i only really notice it if im looking for it.. still bugs me with my OCD though

I'm looking and don't see it. My only issue which doesn't affect functionality and that I ignore is that my front camera isn't quite centered in the opening. It's slightly shifted to the right. It's weird because when I check the phone I don't see any gaps even with a flashlight. But no big deal.

All I have is a row of very faint light dark light dark light....... along the bottom from one end to the other, I think its just the row of LED along the bottom, I have check many units from friends and display model, they all have this.
But since it's very faint and only shows with white or beige background, it isn't important and I don't think its a defect.

If you open diagnostics, screen test and look at the full white page.. Do you notice light in the bottom of each corner? (not the top ones, but bottom). I just got my replacement because it was bothering me on my last unit.. this one has the EXACT issue, in the exact spots (more noticable on the right side). a pure black screen looks perfect though? i just think that is so odd.
also, i do notice the black strip you're talking about, i think it has to do with those leds being visable

This issue isn't bothing me, but there is a problem I have noticed, not sure if it was their during my purchase or it suddenly just popped out, but in a white screen I do have a patch about 3mm-4mm which is white that shows up, it's much whiter than the actual screen if you have white and also shows up in a biege background, I think it's what people are calling a light bleed I guess, it's on the bottom left corner about 10mm from the left and 15mm from the bottom.
I took it to a local xperia service center yesterday, and they say it could be two reasons behind it, either something is pressing on the back of the screen or a defective LCD panel, either way they say my warranty covers it, it's a shame as It was sort of a perfect screen free from any pixel problems that I find with many xperia phones.
I will have them to service it after my holiday in early October.

Excuse my edited picture above, here what im experiencing. looks way worse at night. more of an OCD thing, but it does bother me that i paid full price and whatnot. the light bleed actually goes across the whole bottom, not just the edges. just harder to see in this lightning (im at work)
