Just saw some photo taken in HTC shop of demo phone that indicate One X has some yellow spot (tint) display issue.

I would like those who have gotten the phone already to have a check and give us input does it happen to you or not.

The recent yellow spot issue is serious problem for latest Sony Xperia S phone.

Hope it can help to understand is it common or just rare.

Thanks!
[HTC One X] chowdarygm:
Not in the one I have
[HTC One X] hamdir:
interesting i will definitely keep this in mind when i pick my unit since i'm buying it from retail
[HTC One X] mmx6688:
Yes, some people give up Sony Xperia S（LT26i）because of the yellow spot issue. I really do not want it happen to One X. The issue for Sony is detected by user after 1 or 2 weeks usage, in some case is when phone get warm(like charging) or play heavy game after a while.

So if One X user can test it under charging status with full white screen may can more effective to confirm.

Rumors said One X screen provider is Sony. If it is true even the technique of it is different than LT26i screen but still may have some common issue behind.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
Not a screenshot dummy.

It's the SLCD2 Panel itself...

So take a pic of the actual phone and white background.
[HTC One X] Laxsjoe:
I lol´ed:D
[HTC One X] chowdarygm:
Oh...so you are talking about your drool dripped screen yellow marks ?:mad: Then I don't have any coz I dont drool on my phones...maybe check yours if u get it ....
[HTC One X] engwee:
you didn't get it..

if you crack your screen and make a screenshot you won't see the cracks there
[HTC One X] l3ft3r1s:
The screenshot just shows what you are supposed to see.

The problem is in what you actually see on the screen itself.
[HTC One X] mr.r9:
To avoid any confusion, please take a physical photo of the screen in a dim room, not a screen shot.

There. Solved. Please do not fight. :p
[HTC One X] Diamondback:
I don't have any of these spots. The screen is just absolutely amazing! :)
[HTC One X] xmoo:
The yellow tints are caused by the LCD screen foil. If you drop the phone, you will get yellow spots!
[HTC One X] d33f:
That explains, and maybe it can even be caused by pressing too hard on the screen maybe ?
[HTC One X] pikubik:
:mad:Darn... Just got the One X from digitec (Switzerland) and it clearly shows two yellowish spots in the two bottom corners of the display. It's very visible and distracting on white background, not so much on dark background.
[HTC One X] 24inchsub:
Isnt this the glue that holds the laminated screen onto the glass? I used to have this on my iphone4s ips display and the apple dude that served me said it would go off after using it for a slightly longer period of time and after a week or so the tint disappeared
[HTC One X] hamdir:
thanks for this I now remember the issue when iPhone4 went out
[HTC One X] d33f:
Now that you mentioned it, i do believe this is the cause indeed.. i almost forgot about the iphone4s screen issues haha till you mentioned it :D , but that could be because i don't read much about Apple/iphones etc. and i don't have any affinity to Apple and it's products. [off-topic] To be honest i really hate Apple's mentality / their way of business
[HTC One X] xmoo:
When the yellow spots are on the side, it's most of the time glue.

But if it's in the middle of the screen, most of the times it's the foil.

I would get a replacer if i were you!
[HTC One X] mmx6688:
Is it looks better now for yellow spot? Maybe can ignore if not look after it hardly?
[HTC One X] pikubik:
It kind of looks as if they got weaker over the last two days of usage. Could be my wishful thinking, though. With white background, the spots (still) are noticeable and distracting. It's like with dead pixels: once you've discovered them, you can't ignore them anymore...
[HTC One X] mmx6688:
That's too bad. I see some guy recently bought One X find this problem and immediately went to shop for replacement a new one.

BTW, do you test it by run some HD game for a while which can cause the phone very warm, and maybe yellow spots will be obvious? Quite many Sony LT 26i phones has yellow spot discovered after it go for 40 C temperate. And when it happen later it never gone. Sony admit it is the problem.
[HTC One X] Huey85:
nothing here on mine. Optus AU stock.
[HTC One X] blaaez:
don't have any yellow spots here, but my entire screen looks yellowish. at least in comparison to my (blueish-white?) Note. I suppose this is a characteristic of SLCD vs AMOLED? are all your screens like this too? anybody got a bluish-white SLCD2??
[HTC One X] d33f:
I guess that's the difference in color temperature between the One X and Galaxy note :)
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Exactly. The Note display is well-known for being far too cold.
[HTC One X] smiskas:
Not only on the Note but on Samsung displays in general. i.e. their sets of old LCD tv´s, cranked up saturated colors and unnatural cold blueish whites...
[HTC One X] geovass:
Just got mine...

Yes, you can see the yellow spots on the bottom of the screen :(
[HTC One X] gapper100:
I just got my One X, and I've got a very obvious yellow spot as well, in the top left-hand corner. Have yours become less visible already? I'll probably hold off on returning it for a week, because it might get less, but for now, it sort of bugs me :o

EDIT: Checked again (bad move), and I actually have 4 spots: The most obvious one is in the top-left corner, two are in the middle, one left and one right, and there's a stretched one in the bottom left... Might be going back for an exchange when they're more widely available.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
Guys, since it's LCD. Anyone having background bleeding?
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
no yellow spots for my white HOX..
[HTC One X] joshoon:
Luckily I don't have any of these spots!
[HTC One X] McSic:
Me neither. Screen is perfect.
[HTC One X] Marduk20:
No spots on my device.
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Haven't found any on mine yet, Just got it today tho. hopefully will never see any !! :p but i did noticed the battery is a bit of warm especially around the the camera area, even when i were just doing some regular ease surfing on the net.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
I really hope they go away after some usage. Didn't the iPhone 4 have the same problems and the yellow tint actually faded away relatively quickly?
[HTC One X] Roybenz:
I got 3 devices today, and 1 of them had orange yellow spots, and the 2 other had 1 black pixel, so i had to settle with 1 dead black pixel (on white screen)

Any tip for removing? is it possible to remove?
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
When you're in the settings, the white isn't really white huh?

Also there it seems like the bottom of the screen is a little more yellowish, but only like 1/10 of it, bottom 1/10 to be exact?

Also when in settings turn the screen slowly to the side(like if you want to see viewing angle) the glass on the screen or the screen seems to have this "rainbow" effect on it... you guys too?

Than when I watch the screen straight on, it seems like i could see it also a little?
[HTC One X] nickporwal:
I have a very dim blue patch on lower left hand of my screen......it can be seen only on full brightness and black wallpaper.............anyone with this type of issue?
[HTC One X] Zaras:
With 1 dead pixel warranty does not cover you?
[HTC One X] kingp:
Got my One X today and it has a yellow spot in the top right of the screen. Really annoyed.

Spoke to HTC on the Online Chat page and they said they are not aware of this issue and to speak to my retailer for a replacement. :(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
did you not read? give it a week it night go on its own
[HTC One X] tsleng:
I have a yellow streak on the top of the screen. But only visible when the background is grey. Otherwise can't see it at all. Doesn't bother me now but I'll check again in a week or two to see if its still there.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Yes to the bottom 1/10 of the screen being more yellowish ...I posted a separate thread but I think its got lost already with so many people posting.

I can't see the rainbow thing though.

Also I have some backlight bleed but ONLY when the brightness is on max. It is invisible at normal levels. I can see the backlight bleed with a full black screen on max brightness. It shows as two slightly greenish points at the very bottom of the screen. It has improved since I first noticed it so I think heat and cool-down cycles are helping.

To see if you have backlight bleed easily, simply reboot your phone in a dark room. As part of the boot-up it goes to max brightness and with a black screen for a few seconds (button LEDs are not lit)
[HTC One X] kwilk:
Mine will be going back, 2cm light orange streak in top left corner, not very happy!

Other than that great phone. Still not what you expect from HTC.
[HTC One X] pikubik:
Unfortunately, after a week, the yellow spots are still clearly visible. As soon as the retailer where I bought it has refilled his stock, I'll go and try get a replacement.
[HTC One X] n1kon:
These spots you are seeing on some screens are pressure points from the under side, you can see where they are by pressing the screen. It is an assembly issue. You should take it back for an exchange. I had this on my first device.
[HTC One X] MrWho_:
Just for the log of it, I also got a yellowish little dot in the bottom left corner on the screen. It is mostly visible on white background. Got the phone on tuesday 03.04.2012 still an issue. After almost a week.

Will try to get a warranty, but are afraid they will first take it in for service/repair so I must sit without a phone :(
[HTC One X] :
I've no issues with my display... I won't be able to live with yellow dots on such a beautiful display..

Sorry !!. I just got mine and it does not have this issue.Seems one odd issue which happens with any make.

htc one x yellow patch on screen

I also have a yellow patch on my screen, think it wasn't there when I initially got the phone a few days ago. its about 2mm across and in the bottom left corner of my screen so I barely notice it when using the phone..
[HTC One X] Psybi:
I also have a yellow dot in my screen at the bottom left...

I'm returning my phone tomorrow.. (for another One X ofcourse)
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
No spots here my freind had 1 got a replacement now has 3 ahha why is there so many problems cropping up

Mod or Die
[HTC One X] yeatsluo:
No yellow spot on mine, but the yellowish tint is really annoying.

I assume there should be some technique like ICC profiling to fix the tint.
[HTC One X] Born Twitchy:
I had 2 yellowspots bottem left side. 1 disappeared after a few days, the other one is still there after 5 days.

With how many of you did they fully go away?
[HTC One X] bounstar:
I've got this as well.. Only visible against black. What gives?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I don't have any yellow spots on mine (White One X from Taiwan), but across the top of the screen there is a bar of faint yellow glow. Will keep an eye on this over the next day or two.
[HTC One X] Rithina:
I don't have yellow spot but I noticed my LCD screen was a bit yellowish compare to my xperia S and my ipad 3 :O

Is it because it is a super LCD2 issue? It is pretty obvious and I hope I can calibrate the screen to a bit more whitish :)
[HTC One X] stuarm:
What's causing the yellow spots?
[HTC One X] victorinoxs:
Many reports indicated that the yellow spots will appear when the device heats up. So for those who haven't seen the yellow spots, try playing some graphic intensive 3d games or do some stress test to heat up the device for a while....
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
The issue is here in AUstralia too. I bought a One X yesterday and had two yellow spots on the screen.

I took it back today or a replacement (Allphones were great about it) and we had to go through their entire stock (7 phones) to find one that didn't have display issues.

3 had dead pixels and 3 had yellow spots in varying degrees.

If you are looking to buy one of these phones, I highly recommend buying form somewhere where you can check before you pay because there are clearly a lot of handsets out there with issues.
[HTC One X] d33f:
4 yellow spots around the edge of the screen

I too have 4 yellow spots on my One X. Though not always clearly visible but with higher brightness + white/grey background they can be seen easily. 2 on the left edge of the screen, 1 on the bottom left in the corner, and 1 in the middle on the bottom.

Today i have the phone for a whole week but non of those spots disappeared.

I hope that they will eventually, because i've read some reports about the iPhone's yellow spots and someone commented that his spots weren't disappeared after 1 week but they disappeared eventually after some time
[HTC One X] Floken:
i have one tiny yellow spot at the bottom-right corner, it's almost invisible when the phone is cold, but after some use, it becomes visible, with clear or grey background. I'm sending my phone to HTC, and i'm afraid they can't see the problem, as it's not always easy to see.

also there's 1 dead pixel in the same zone.

also, I have to say, it looks like the yellow spot has become less visible as days pass, not sure if it's my imagination, but i would say that it was stronger at the beginning.
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
Is there an easy way to check for dead pixels?
[HTC One X] feckewe:
I've got a small orange/yellow patch in the bottom left and also a mark right under the HTC logo at the top of the screen which is now very noticeable, I'm not taking the chance on the marks going away and arranged a replacement.
[HTC One X] d33f:
Try Display Tester from the Google Play store :)

[HTC One X] skr_xd:
My first Onex had yellow spot. Had it for three days. Yellow didn't go away. Got it replaced. Second one had more yellow tint on whole screen. had for a day and got replaced again. Third one is great with whites are pure white.

All three are Black, Taiwan made, HT24 batch.
[HTC One X] :
I have a yellow spot on the top right corner of the screen but it seems to have gone now after using it for 4 days when I got the phone.
[HTC One X] mark.m.moran:
+1 for yellow spots on my One X here in Ireland :-( Hope they go away but doubt it very much from all I read here....
[HTC One X] :
Well it seems that in some handsets it does go away and some don't.

I got this from another forum and a member quoted this

The subject was about a yellow spot on the HTC One X
[HTC One X] d33f:
I've waited for 1,5 weeks now, but it's not getting better. If i press in the area of the spot on the screen i can see that it is becoming bigger, so i guess my spots have something to do with assembly of the glass and screen being too tight to each other/the underlying structure of the LCD.

Mine is going back, except for the spots and some mild flickering my device works like a charm :(
[HTC One X] Alext1x:
I got exactly the same, when my phone is cold I barely see the spot but if my phone goes warmer than 35 degrees or so (celsius) the spot changes to gray with a yellow border. Have it for 9 days now, going to swap it as I have 14 days to do so. Also in the bottom right corner for me.
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
I can't see spots, but I have a feeling that my One X has a yellowish tint (I'm really not sure though). How could I best find out whether my screen is working correctly or not?
[HTC One X] Flyarnk:
Damn it... my phone also has yellow spot on left bottom corner.

Don't have an option to replace phone so called up HTC warrantee service as it's covered under global warranty. They have escalated the issue to level two.... Now waiting for their call!
[HTC One X] nooomoto:
I have no spots. However, I did have a yellowish tint to the screen when I first received my phone yesterday morning. It has since disappeared and now the screen looks great.
[HTC One X] iamholam:
I have a yellow spot on the bottom corners of the screen. Went into the O2 shop who said they would replace it if I phone the customer services number (upgrade via the phone so have to replace that way too)

If you phone I would imagine you wouldn't be getting a new phone but a refurbished one and wonder if it would be better to just let it go rather than getting a phone that was actually worse?

(It's not that noticeable)
[HTC One X] ataft:
I also have yellow tinting in the bottom left of my screen... But no dots, not yet.

I am not sure what I will do. I really need to stare at it on a pure white screen to feel bad about it. It's one of those "It's just less than perfect" types of things. It isn't bad, but it's definitely not flawless.

I have only had my phone for three days now, so I will give it a bit of time I think... but in my experience with previous yellow tinting on a laptop, it isn't something that goes away. I believe the dots and the tinting are two entirely different issues.

One thing that is a pain in the ass, however, is that I am in China and still have troubles with the language. Might be a bit of a headache getting them to exchange this one.
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Has anybody who reported this issue noticed the yellow spots disappear after time?

I don't want to have to replace my device again.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I don't actually have yellow SPOTS, but the whole area where the 3-dot menu normally is, is a bit yellowish if you look at it properly. I open the stock browser (the bottom menu disappears) and you can see it has a bit of a stain-ish property. Like curry on a dining table not wiped clean properly. Very light gradient going from yellow to white extending to the edge of the screen.
[HTC One X] bobmarsh72:
Exactly the same problem here. Top half of screen is bright white, bottom half is stained with a yellow tint. Now iv noticed it I can't stop seeing it. Think it must be the glue.

Also noticed it gets worse the longer the screen is on, but then if the phone is left to cool down in standby its not as noticeable when you turn the screen back on.

Iv had my phone for 2 weeks now, and if anything I think it is getting worse (or because I know it's there I just can't stop staring at it)

Anyway, I'm sending it back and getting a replacement.
[HTC One X] sirholm:
I have yellow spots on my unit aswell. I am a HTC Reseller and got it as a promotion and I reported it friday night and he would have a solution ready by tomorrow, either exhange unit or if it could be fixed by software (no way :-))

I got 3 tins. all 3 on left side. You can see 2 of the spots on attached picture and last tint is in left bottom (like many others).
[HTC One X] d33f:
Tried exchanging in the shop

Today i tried to swap my phone because the yellow spots on the screen.

I went personally to the shop so i could try them out myself.

The sales person tried more than 6 phones, but ALL of them had yellow spots or flickering :O even worse than my own unit.

This is really unbelievable! they were 6 brand new phones but all suffering from yellow spots and sometimes accompanied with screen flickering :eek:

Eventually i left with my own phone which i tried to swap, because after seeing all those units my phone was in the end the best compared to those other units

HTC W*F is going on ? :mad:
[HTC One X] bobmarsh72:
Now u say this, I'm unsure to exchange mine. I have no yellow spots, but just a yellow tint to the bottom half of the screen. Don't want to get a phone that is worse or flickering.
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
Mine had a few yellow spots - they ALL disappeared within 2 days. The yellow seems to be some of the backlight LEDs having an offwhite appearance from new.

This is normal for a modern white LED - the ones in my ceiling has a tint at new too.

To speed up the removal of the yellow, put the screen on 100% brightness for an hour. Should clear it right up.

Only replace the phone if they don't clear within about 5 days. Otherwise you will likely get a phone with the same "problem" and have to start over again.

I am certain this has already been discussed either here on Q&A or in General. A link was provided to the issue on the Xperia phone which was solved through using the screen more.
[HTC One X] jdunne:
I just got my first yellow spot today. Started on the bottom left, then of course on the bottom right got one too. The seem to have dimmed down now but they aren't gone completely. I think the issue I ran into was having the screen brightness all the way up and the processor clocked at 1ghz minimum. Turned all that down and now its recovering. It definitely is due to heat, but I'm not convinced its the glue
[HTC One X] plunderclat:
The yellow spots will go away, and when you use an app that gets the phone over 40c for example, the yellow spots WILL return. Owners of the new xperia s are having a similar issue, due the their similar screen technology!

That yellow spot isn't going away guys , get an exchange!

I'm onto my 6th handset, x2 with yellow spotting, the rest

flicker like a strobe light.

I will say, that devices startiyng with 'HT23' don't seem to exhibit the flickering, just yellow

spots. HT24's and HT25's, are the ones that I've experienced the flickering issue when displaying dark/grayish colours.
[HTC One X] d33f:
I gave up exchanging :( since all the units had the same yellow spots.

I'm awaiting what HTC has to say, because i read this a couple of days ago:

http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?Type=aeco&TNo=&ID=201204180041

But haven't seen anything in action about that statement from HTC itself.

I do tip Engadget about the build quality issues, because it's not normal that some guys around here are on their 6th phone and still suffering from build issues.

It's really unacceptable!
[HTC One X] Shrihari007:
I too do have same issue
[HTC One X] plunderclat:
I should have mentioned that the device I got 3 days ago has not presented me with any of the common issues mentioned here! So it seems good devices do exist! But realistically only time will tell!

Thanks for that official link though!excellent work! Bookmark it, and show it to those phone store employees who look at you like your a mad man, when walking in for your 7th exchange lol. At this point,I don't have to keep this device,bit I just feel it's so worth the hassle . I also have the galaxy note, and its had it's fair share of issues.
[HTC One X] d33f:
I'm afraid i can't exchange my phone anymore through DOA. Because the day that i went to the shop to exchange(exchange phones were even worse!) it was my last DOA day :( so now i'm hoping that HTC will resolve this
[HTC One X] Eggcake:
Same here.
[HTC One X] d33f:
I just contacted HTC Chat Support (again).

They advised me to get an other brand of phone lol, because they don't have a fix for the yellow spots at the moment.

Also they said that they don't respond back on Facebook/Twitter because they don't have a fix.

They advised me to keep an eye on their Facebook page for a future fix.
[HTC One X] Flyarnk:
I have been using HTC One X for over a week now. When I got it first, I noticed the yellow spot right away on left bottom corner. It was specially visible in White/grey background.

I found a pressure point just beside the yellow spot. When I gently pushed that area with tip of my nail the yellow spot would disappear. Although it would come right back when I release the pressure.

I kept doing it for days and guess what now yellow spot is almost gone...maybe 5% left or maybe its just me now :)

Let me know if this works for any one. Good luck
