Hello there, XDA.
This thread is more for an ensurance for me that I've done nothing wrong when using my phone - and it might show up that some other people have the same problem as I do.
Now, to the thingie. Bought a HTC Diamond about 3 months ago - working just fine. Although about 3-4 weeks ago I realized that when I tilt my screen, I can see some crazy stuff going on... There is two pictures attached and linked to further down.
Anyone else has this problem? Would be lovely to hear what you've done. I sent an e-mail to HTC and the manu... manufactourer-/or~ (spelling :b).

That just looks like moisture between the screen protector and the screen itself.
Odd that it's in a perfect rectangle. I've seen this before on a mates LG Viewty (Horrible phone!), but he never followed it up so I don't know what the cause was. It did have a touch screen, but no protector. Perhaps its moisture actually in the screen or a manufacturing fault?
Good luck.
Oh my - I had rectangle on the screen today when I removed the protective front later (brand new phone).
Though It's no longer showing I'm scared its going to become more apparent and eventually become like this.
What is going on with QA and HTC?
There was another exact case like this that I saw this week. Can't really remmeber but do a search and you will find it.
I have the same thing on my Touch Pro, and another user has had the same problem on his (her?) Diamond:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428262
Unfortunately it isn't moisture below the screen protector, but that the touch resistive layer was subject to heavy pressure (eg: being squeezed in the pocket). It shouldn't affect anything in the short term, but in the long run the touch screen might become erratic or imprecise, so you should keep an eye on it.
The store I bought my TPro from doesn't accept returns/exchanges, and so far HTC hasn't replied to my support ticket. Unfortunately I think some of us are going to be left out in the cold. Personally I'm tempted to buy a replacement touch layer and replace it myself, but of course that would void the warranty (even though it doesn't seem to be doing me any good).
If this becomes widespread, there could be a chance for a class action lawsuit (hopefully HTC will wise up and help us out before it comes to that).
Ouch >.<, feeling sad (but somewhat a bit of relief) that some others has the same problem.
Yes, the rectangular shape is very, very odd - since that makes me think that just pressure can create this mess. It feels more like a manufacturing fault.. But, as for fhsieh, HTC hasn't respond to my support ticket.
Wondering if I should call them to get a direct answer.. Hm.
I've suffered this
But in a Touch Cruise I own before. I thought, as said, that this regular shape can only came from a pressure problem.
Loosing my warranty (due to the long time to be repaired here in Spain), I opened it, confirming that was not a problem with moisture (at least in my case). Also I saw the resistive layer poorly sticked to the body, with zones unglued, causing the layer to raise, specially in the bottom edges. This bothered me a lot, because I ended with lot of dirt between the layer and the screen itself, unable to clean.
Maybe that was the problem. If the layer is not correctly assembled it gets an irregular surface (as lightly squeeshed) , yielding this. But, functionally speaking, the screen was performing well, as it should be.
Hope this helps.
It's only humidity... it happens also in my diamond... try to dry it under the sun..(not so good for lcd but it works for me)..

Yes, it's due to the prefect pressure of the screen, exactly in the center..if you try to press a corner for example near to Start button (with screen off) you should see the spot follow your finger's pressure. So there is a small drop between LCD and screen..(for me)
I had same problem in polaris. Send it for warranty as this is manufacturing fault. Why keep ****??? its htc s fault!?!
Well I thought i was the only one who had this problem till I came across this thread.... it's quite weird it's in a perfect rectangular shape anyone tried removing the protective screen and checkin whether it is the display... but one thing you hve to notice once the display is on we can't see tht on the screen only against a black background can you notice it....
It is the problem of screen protector. You may not see this watermark after you take off the screen protector. Try other good screen protector like Brando, Martin Fields ....

I tried removing the screen protector and the rectangular shape is still there then I put it in front of an A/C cooler unit and it went away!!!! then after awhile it returned back and the place I live is very hot and humid so I guess it's weather which plays a role....
Hi all,
i just get back my p880 after replacement screen since the dust under the screen, but guess what?
It happened again just for 1 week.
i did write a email for them.
Hi,
I wanna make a complain on your flagship product !
last week(roughly Nov 27) i did collect a unit P880 after screen replacement due to dust under the screen. However after 1 week, it still happen again !
This is a quality issue on this unit! and i am not the only 1, my girlfriend also having same problem from day 1, and mine too.
Before sent in , i did ask your staff! your staff say no, this isnt quality issue, so far i am the only 1. i take it at that time.
But when i get back my phone, and this happened again in just 1 week !
And i did research ! i am not the only 1.

Too bad, i dont have a pro camera right now. and also hard to capture by camera.
and i believe those p880 with this issue will be more dust after certain usage.
just 1 week, there are 2 medium dot under screen. from my exp last times, about 1-2 month, there lots of dust and big 1.
really make me so sad. what a product with this stupid issue!
i have the same issue too but its really slight. the dust are hardly seen under normal usage and only when the screen is off and im looking for it.
not something very irritating but yea, it shouldn't be there. btw my Optimus One had this problem too but it was really a thick dense line of dust from the bottom left corner of the screen.
edit: added photos
i have only one and barely notice it

i know where is it, and send before. i post here that because i believe it will happen again after second service.
previously i emailed, they said sent to their service center.
in the service center i asked,and they said no this quality issue on other p880. what i feel is nonsense, just other people lazy go for it.
And purposely go there for same problem, i am quite unhappy, because wasting my time to go and back.
And they just replace the window glass, i dont think can fix permanently, since this is a common issue for most people, wasnt?
Hello I have the same issue, in my P880 I saw specs of dust two days after of purchase, now 2 months later I have many specs, some are very annoying at sunlight. Sadly in my Country I do not have technical support from LG.

they will replace the window( the front glass) not the screen. however, since this is defective, i requested to replace another phone under the singapore lemon law. but still not yet replay from last friday sent in
Hurry up. Once I have the same problem with my optimus swift, the delay for taking mobile to service center coasted me additional money for replacing screen and glass.

How i' fixed one dust dot.
Hello
Today i noticed white dust point between my screen and glass of phone... and.. i was pissed off!!! because phone is one month old!
Tried to calmdown ... but every time when i looked on the screen i saw nothing but that white dot...
So... i don't take any responsibility for this "tutorial" on damaging your glass or screen or phone...
So... turn off you phone ... using your pointing finger make speed hard taps on dust area with little bit bending of whole phone.
With this method i managed to move dust point from middle of screen to bottom edge of screen... and with more bending and taping on edhe area
dust spot is disappeared. (it took me 2 minutes of tapping)
I konw it sounds crazy but it worked and i'm happy again

Isn't this problem partly due to the fact that there's a large gap between the display and touchscreen itself?

I've been contemplating getting this phone for a while now but this puts me right off. My SGS doesn't have this problem as the display and touchscreen are bonded together.
Please, could you explain more accurately ? I really wish to remove these dust and i'm very interested in your method

This is a two part question.
Firstly does anyone know if there is a way to calibrate the s-pen. Mine seems ever so slightly off when writing as I would with a normal pen (on a slight angle).
I also have the bamboo feel but that is even worse (around 2-3 mm off).
Next question is are there any other s-pen out that like the bamboo feel? I like the bigger size of it as it's more comfortable for writing with but accuracy seems to be the issue with some third part pens. I'm surprised there issue nothing from Samsung already for the note 5. I understand there are the pen holder or the bt pen but those are for older devices so I'm not sure how accurate they are or compatible.

Can you make sure that there is no cover when trying, as magnetic covers or even flip covers cause the S-pen to be inaccurate.
in older models, magnet closure cases made a huge difference.

Try typing in *#0*# in your dialer. This will bring up the integrated hardware test. There should be one for S-Pen (not touch) and try it on that screen. If it does not pass the test, then you are probably looking at a hardware failure/malfunction.
Broke my S pen when my phone fell. Any good sites to get a replacement?

Good information to know just in case .... one never knows when 'Ol Murphy will decide to put his most famous law into action. ... " Anything that can go wrong usually will."
I know this is an old post, but I am trying to find a gold s-pen. Samsung doesn't sell them on their site. To get mine warranties will take over a month. I have seen them on Amazon but really no where else. Wondering if anyone has tried them and any issues. Where do you recommend?

For what it is worth...
I have both a NOTE 3 and a NOTE 5
The 5 I only bought recently and the Stylus hole was blocked and there was some weird other stylus somehow wedged into it.
The previous owner knew he was selling me a duffer but there we go.
Anyway, I managed to get it out and I bought a new stylus for it, but the bloody thing was not quite right... It was something like about 1.5mm off down and right. I am very very good with sizes and so trust me, its more than 1mm but not quite 2mm but thats by the sideways... I just assumed that the bloody thing needs calibrating to this stylus.
Anyway, it was some time later that I thought... Why not try the note 3 and 5 styluses on each other... They both work just fine, but guess what? It was not the screen that needed calibrating at all? - the stylus is to blame.
The Note 5 stylus is wonky just the same on the Note 3 and the Note 3 Stylus is perfect on the Note 5
If only I could swap them over?
But there you go... Maybe its a new stylus or a replacement stylus you should be looking for and not a calibration of the screen?
yeah mines a few mm's off as well. its very annoying.
There is also a waycom test in the integrated hardware test menu (this would be good for seeing how your s-pen registers on the screen)
Also you may want to try another N5 s-pen (if you know someone that has one see how it does, the one you have may have a defect)
You can take off the cover on the button of the spen and there's a tuning adjuster under it. Factory is set to be off a little.

I tried Note 4 stylus on Note 5 and it felt like a Note 7 stylus on Note 7. Note 5 stylus is useless. in comparison.
So stupid that companies still make Note cases with friggin battery clips on them. But then again there seems to be a fair amount of people who buy these Note devices but rarely use the S-Pen which is bizarre to me.
Hello everyone,
First of all , I apologize for my English, I 'm French . I , used google translation to post this message.
I have a big problem with my Note 5 (SM- N920C purchased from T dimension in October ) . Aesthetic concern ; let me explain :
In the upper left corner , it makes me like an air bubble between the screen and the casing of the Note 5. As if I had a screen protector peeling , except that it is under the screen.
I discovered this default for the first time last Saturday. At first, it was so small , but it grows by the day !!!!
I specify , my Note 5 since the beginning is protected by a tempered glass. It is never dropped or has never suffered shocks.
Am I alone in this ?
I think it'll be back to the sender for security; Be 'm trying to do with Samsung France , otherwise it's back at T- Dimension for service ..
I am disgusted...!!!!

That is the separation of the film of paint and also a shatter resistant coating underneath the phone. It's basically a small piece of adhesive attached to a screen protector like plastic material that separates from the phone. That's how I have my note 5 with the clear back

Definitely send it back, and I did this a long time ago to the s6 a few weeks after it came out and then to my note 5, people do it differently then I do, I personally like how I do it. Because it's faster and better on the glass. Most people use a razor blade but isopropyl/ nail polish remover does the best, keeping the glass from scratching and you can peel it all off and one sticker, make sure to let it soak in the nail polish remover for 10 minutes, one of the edges will inevitably peel up. I'll be 100% honest, I've never been one to brag. But anytime I see anyone with an 05 I have to show them my phone, when I do almost every single time is "holy crap that's cool" when I saw the article on my google now page saying that this guy had a cooler note 5 then i did. I couldn't help but to laugh because my note 5 was already clear lol honestly though it brings back a very retro feel. I'm trying to buy as many note 5 back covers as I can. So I can convert them and sell them clear. For just a little bit more than I bought them for so I can break even. honestly I'd rather everyone have the clear back then the platinum gold or the sapphire blue. The Pearl was pretty nice and so is the silver. sorry for deviating topics. But what I must say is the problem I'm having is much smaller but it's definitely what's happening with you as well I don't think Samsung will have any issues letting you return it. Obviously I voided the warranty on mine lol so they wouldn't do anything in my case. So it looks like it's $124 to replace the screen

I sent a message to T- Dimension Hong Kong to explain my problem. Their technical department told me that for them, this defect is due to exposure with water, therefore invalidate the warranty .
Obviously , my rating has never been in contact with water , it's great no matter what !!!!
Just send an email to T- Dimension with a link to a video or Note 5 is immersed for a while . We see very clearly that once out of the water , the rating has not suffered the same fault as mine. I do not know if will be enough to make them change their mind ...

Ask samsung exec to prove that phone is in contact with water, if they can't replace the phone.

Well just FYI because I didn't want to get charged for water damage either. And I thought to myself but how can you check the Samsung Note 5 for water damage. So to my curiosity looked it up so if you use a pen and pop open the SIM card slot and remove it get a flashlight and look inside to see there should be a little white square meaning no water damage. If red then you may have dropped it in water at some point and don't remember hope that helps ease your mind when contacting your provider.
I am in Brazil and I have the same problem, common in the first pictures ... still did not take the technical assistance ... we'll see the excuse that will give ...

Just got the same on mine. Top of glass to under the earpiece and from the notification light to past the camera. Friend of mine just mentioned that it looks like he has water damage on his but he didn't spill anything, told him it's probably the same issue. Calling Verizon for warranty and he's going to TMobile, we'll see.
OMG... it's global problem. I have the same bubble... same place... left corner... And I'm sure, It's not a water damage. My phone is under warranty, but I'm afraid, they'll say me It can be changed... we'll see.
I have the same problem. About five days ago a bubble appeared, and it has quickly been spreading across the top of the phone. No drop damage, no water damage, even pulled the sim to double check and the litmus is still white.
I called T-Mobile and they tried to tell me it constituted as physical damage that voided my warranty... So I called Samsung, who told me a screen repair was covered by warranty. My city has a walk in repair shop, so I will be going in tomorrow to get the screen fixed.
I got the bubble too. 9 months old. Upper left corner. Sprint model.
Hi,
Is there a way to calibrate the Spen? Its accurate for about 90% of the screen but when i move to the left most part of the screen it doesnt follow. It stops about 1/4 of an inch and doesnt reach the end of the screen
I dont have any case on it
No screen protectors as well
No magnetic items to interfere with the spen
Tried the "touch all four corners" trick but didnt fix it
Any other ideas?
Thanks
I dont think that the issue is the s pen, it is most likely the screen digitizer, if the s pen was faulty, the problem would arise anywhere on the screen, take your device for warranty claim ASAP
Try changing or reinstalling the SPen tip...

I agree. The walcom digitizer is probably broken.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Tried it with a different Spen from another Note 8. Still the same problem. My digitizer must be broken. Ill send it for repairs. First time to claim warranty on a samsung Note product since the Note 1. Note 7 is an exception since that was just faulty for everyone
The note 7 was not faulty for me, I still have it, works really fine
Just got my note back from the service center. took them one day to fix it. You guys were right, it was a faulty digitizer.
lucky for me. they changed the whole screen assembly, i now have a new scratcheless screen. They also said they replaced the battery since the front assembly comes with a new battery since its suppose to be glued to it
Really glad to hear it worked so good for you! , that is the benefit of purchasing legally/oficially distributed devices some want to save money, but the peace of mind is most important
Hi guys
I have the same problem .If I replace just touch screen ,will the problem be solved???Or is it LCD?
Because I disconnected touch screen cable and saw that pen digitizer still is working and I guessed that pen digitizer is connected to LCD?Am I right??

It seems that the majority of the Note 7s that had issues with the battery were restricted to the US. As I can't find issues with the Note 7 in other regions of the world...

You need to replace the entire AMOLED display under the glass panel, which is no easy task. As you need a very clean room to do it to ensure that you do not have any specs of dust on it.
