Just solved a similar problem with my Diamond with the help of duct tape.

Actually, duct tape alone doesn't help (spent about 3 hours and several metres of it), and separating the upper screen layer is essential for the fix.

I'm describing what worked for me, but remember that if you decide to do the same, you're doing this ON YOUR OWN RISK. Doing this will most probably void the warranty, and you can easily damage your device in the process. I only tried this since my screen didn't respond at all, and I was going to replace it anyway.

What worked for me was the following:

1. I separated a tiny bit of the topmost screen layer, starting from the corner (upper left in my case). Started with unsticking the corner with the duct tape, then helped with a thin knife. The film needs to be separated just enough for some air to reach the interior of the frame. Be VERY careful not to damage the screen or the topmost layer. The knife was used not to cut something, but just to separate the two layers.

2. Then I stuck a piece of duct tape near the center of the screen and pulled it up, then released the tape. The "oily liquid" disappeared.

3. Carefully removed the blade to release the topmost layer. If done properly, there should be no visible marks at the place where the film was separated.

That's it, the screen now works perfectly, I only had to recalibrate it.

I suppose that the cause of the problem is the following: the touchscreen assembly is airtight from the factory, and it has some air (gas?) inside, probably under pressure. This air gives the "elastic" feeling for the screen.

The rings appear when the airtight seal breaks for some reason, and then some pressure is applied to the screen. The air goes out, but the screen assembly is still tight enough not to let the air go back in. The pressure inside the assembly is too low, and the layers of the film stick together.

When you separate the layers of the screen and pull with the duct tape, you are allowing some air to go back in, so that the film layers separate again. But the pressure is not as high as it was from the factory, so such screens still give the "hard" feeling when pressed.

So even after restoring the screen in the way describing above, it's still better to order a replacement touchscreen. Who knows how long such a screen will continue to function?

If something is not clear from the description, feel free to ask. Unfortunately, I have no photos of the process.

My HD2's just done the same thing and it's only a month old. Did yours look like this: http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=34445&sid=39a7061fade90779c4b1291ab72fccaf

Did you manage to get it fixed?

Newton Rings

Had this on my HTC Touch Diamond (twice) - referred to a Newton Rings and had the touch screen replaced under warranty in both cases - no questions asked. Normally goes hand in hand with inaccuracy experienced when using the touch screen.

Hope this helps.

Solution that worked for me

Hi.

I had a similar stain on my Touch Pro today and fix was quite strange - I simply put the phone near an open window (with -5 °C outside - around 25 °F) in something like an hour - the stain disappeared by itself.

Not sure what to advice for those who don't have such temperatures :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eberos:
guys i belong to that group! Howeer, the solution with the duct tape seems to be really good! After a few tries i managed to vanish the liquid. The sensation then was different becasuse the screen was raised a lot. I pressured then a little more and was fine. After a few days of usage a little amount of liquid appeared again. At leaste now i know a possible temporary solution!

Many thanks to momojopoe for his idea!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krisztian b:
Actually I own both devices. The peeling Trinity issue bothered me for a long time, cause the black ones start to peel very quickly and when the under shiny layer also starts to peel it looks so used. A few days ago I figured out how to resolve this: I scratched off the covering layer with nails and a small curved pair of scissors, and with regular isopropyl acohol and a soft cloth, it's easy to remove every painting. So my 3 years old Trinity is all black and shiny, has the most handsome look ever! Still in everday use.

In the other hand and back to topic I'm happy so far with my Diamond. More than a year old and the Newton ring issue not yet happened to me. Still works as new. Bought in a Media Markt in Hungary. Factory unlocked, EEU version. I applied a couple of cheap screen protectors, but with no harms to the screen. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Alfa Kenny One:
heyy the tape trick workse for me. i did a tape on the screen and lifted it, the layer opens the whole oily **** was gone. it seems to be like a vacuum inside or something. when the screen opens it all dissappears. thankss!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] blue1311218:
Duct Tape is not working for me (maybe I didn't use the real "Duct Tape" :confused: )

But after purchase a mirror screen protector on eBay, put it on, and woa... oily liquid nearly disappeared, very hard to see it. And it makes my diamond become a mirror too :), really beautiful. Love it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tiphergane:
OMG, just amazing, thx you all !!! the rubber tape works as well, I just scared me when the screen lift up on the left side, but sur oil patch disapear for the moment!

Thx again !!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liav12:
im using the HTC HD, and i have the same problem...

thought it was the Digitizer

but now when ive noticed this big oily stain in the middle of the screen, and all of your talking about it, i understand...

does anyone experienced the returning of this problem after fixing it with the Duct Tape?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] all-in:
thanks for your advice but i followed my way by putting a screwdriver between the digitizer and the screen and works:P thanks anyways.. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SvB4EvA:
Thanks, tape worked for me... Took me about 5-6 tries to get it all out.. and my phone screen has never been so finger print free, haha
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zeraph:
Have had this problem fixed two times on warranty.

The same problem happen again a few days ago, but my warranty ended 8 days ago, so I will not be able to have it fixed on warranty.

Have contacted the reseller, and will see what they say about all this. Hopefully I can change it for another cell phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] c0r130n3:
Few weeks ago, my HTC HD started to behave strange... More, and more often, phone didn't accept touch. I try soft restart, hard restart, new ROM,... nothing fix problem.

2 weeks ago, I accidentally noticed "oil" under digitizer...

3 days ago, touch function is gone forever. :(

I tried duck trick, "oil" disappear after 8-10 tricks, but touch screen still doesn't work.

Then I try razor trick, same result.

After all, I disassemble my HD, take out LCD and digitizer, and now I'm looking to by that on ebay.

And that is a point where I need your help...

I found LCD+Digitizer (stick together in fabrique) and I found LCD and digitizer separately. What should I by?

I want to change both things, but can I "stick" LCD and digitizer in my room, or there is some special treatment for that?

It would be less money if I buy them separately.

Some suggestions about quality? Hong Kong, China resellers or only Europe and US?

Thanks in advance.

PS I never thought that I will see my HD in parts... now I did. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zeraph:
So, the reseller will have it fixed again.

They told me, if it happen one more time before July 2011, they will change the phone.

Anyone know how this is happening?

I've noticed the oily liquid when I came back home from my trips to Thailand.

It might just be a coincidence that it happen 3 times, after coming back home from Thailand.

Hi,

I have the same problem on my HTC Tattoo, which is actually my fifth touchscreen phone, and this is the first time that I see such thing (phone is threated the same way my Toshiba Portege G900 is, but Toshiba didn't get any stains). It's been a hot summer here in Serbia, and after one really hot day (near 40 degrees on Celsius scale) my Tattoo got a Newton ring and became unresponsive, phone acts as it is being pressed on one point all the time. The problem was somehow fixed when I got home from the outside, temperature in my home was much lower. After a few weeks, there was another heat wave and again my cell got him self some nice rings (irony), but this time they lasted for a bit longer. I got it to my network operator from which I got phone. They said that it is physical damage to the screen and block guarantee on device. My phone works even with those rings now, but I am wondering how much time will pass until it became "pressed at one point"... I know that I am bringing this old theme back, but is there some new solution or you still suggest using duct tape?

Best regards, Stefan Kostić.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tiphergane:
Yes I had the return of the problem one time, and I have identify it's when I pull my phone on my pant's pocket, now I have change my cellular, but I have only one return of the oily problem ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikewhittaker:
I got the same problem on my HTC Touch Pro. I ordered a replacement digitizer screen (just the touch sensitive bit on the top. I'm still waiting for it to be delivered.

I had the oily film apparently trapped under the surface. I could also see a grid of very small dots in the affected area. They were about 2-3 mm apart in a square grid, but just affecting the small rectangular area in the middle of the screen.

Feeling that there was nothing left to lose whilst waiting for my new screen, and having already gone for a new phone I wanted to see how easy it would be to prise the screen away from the body. Without dismantling the phone I just got my fingernail under the corner of the screen from the outside and just lifted it slightly away from the body. The plastic screen was quite flexible.

I now felt confident that when my new screen (digitizer) arrived it wouldn't be a huge task to separate it from the LCD module so I carefully pressed it back down to await my new parts.

:D:D:D The oily mark and grid of dots had dissappeared and the positioning of finger presses now seems to work a treat and appears well calibrated. I did notice when I lifted the corner up it appeared that I'd slightly separated the laminates of the digitizer. This may have allowed the air/oil/water to escape.

Naturally I now realise i've weakened the bonding of the screen and I will replace it when the new part arrives. I reckon the bonding had already been compromised anyway to let the contaminant in anyway. I don't advise anybody else doing it as it could ruin your phone completely, but for me it works as a temporary fix till the new part arrives.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grandma90:
I have a friend with a Touch Pro. He has the same oily smudge on the center of the screen , and could not explain it.

I have some theories of my own :

1) He bought it second-hand , and the guy said he had a problem with the display and was forced to replace it. That oily stain is from a very stupid adhesive. He tried drying it , and has the same problem. The sticky substance used to keep the part toghter is probably cheap and was faulty in application. Meh...

2) He has some problems with his hair. It oils up very fast , and when he speaks , somehow that oily crap from his hair finds its way (raping the speaker hole most likely) inside the headset... It`s a bit late to do something now , is it ^^

3) Humidity. In Romania is very cold and foggy. Maybe somehow droplets of water entered his headset. If it`s warm , his display looks normal (even under fluorescent light , so i believe it`s a water problem.) This is the least likely prossibility.

I did not encounter this issue with my headset , wich i own for over a year now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] irc24:
I Had the two different problems.... I noticed that after hard pressure the digitizer starts to not respond.... thought was the glue...

Then i noticed a strange liquid in the display assembly....

I completely disassembled my diamond, found the liquid, and reassembled it... following instructions of an italian site...

PERFECT...

You can test for backward compatibility of the new versions of Android framework by running mentioned games in an emulator what allows you to specify "Android Virtual Devices" with different API levels. Once you create the AVDs, you can test the applications with new versions of the Android framework.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] UnfixableExploit:
Hello, Before we get started this is a quick TLDR guide and you do this at your own risk, If you DM me and your phone doesn't work I will laugh myself to sleep. (This shoulden't do that unless your stupid!).

If you have issues such as sensors not working like Auto Rotate, Proximity, Auto Brightness, Etc (Use a sensor testing app to confirm) [Make sure your 100% sure it's not due to damage].

Then you need to flash the persist.img, Some how or at least in my experience its become corrupted, normally you would just flash via fastboot the stock files and you should be good to go but Xiaomi doesn't let you flash these because you should not ever have too. The last option was to use EDL but that seems complicated for a issue with some sensors.

Now thanks to a few guides on XDA (Can't find the right one or I would link it here) and some other Xiaomi user posts the quickest way is just to use a recovery to flash the img, now I've tried coping the backup persist partition (PersistBak) and it did not help me nor did using recovery to dd the image to the persist partition, but flashing via OrangeFox did the trick,

Messing with the persist partition is not recomended and may break stuff as its never ment to be tampered with so if you can't use pay anymore Don't blame me!

You do so at your own risk!

1. So Grab your firmware IE latest from your chosen region

2. Grab the extracted persist.img and load your recovery

3. Then select persist img and select it from storage (SD Card)

4. Make sure you pick flash to persist (On OrangeFox it was Persist_IMAGE for me)

5. Flash it and reboot

6. Check your sensors and they should be working!

Now you don't have to spend hours looking online your welcome!

Please thank the individuals that found this and not me I'm just a risk taker and have money to replace it if I Break it.

I went to one of those code websites and they quoted $95, which is out of my reach at the moment. Is there perhaps a way to d it myself? I am comfortable rooting and flashing roms so I'm sure I can handle it, I just don't know what to do.

Paying off the phone usually does the trick...
[Moto G Stylus 5G] rivastutoring:
The person I purchased it from told me it was network unlocked. I did not find out it was not unlocked until I inserted my sim into it after it was delivered.

If I had the money to pay it off I would not be here asking if there's a chance this can be done.

[Moto G Stylus 5G] Deleted member 4197323:
I have a bit of experience with this given I have a Cricket model and I was going to sell it on eBay. Cricket themselves told me that the DEVICE itself is locked to the purchasers ACCOUNT until 6 months of service has been paid for. After which the network can be unlocked and the device sold to anyone. They told me the device wouldn't function for another Cricket account even if I wanted to just give it away to a friend. I'm not sure a code is really going to solve anything, given it sounds more like an IMEI lock within Cricket's database, and only once prereqs are met will they lift those restrictions.

Take this with a huge grain of salt, of course. Half the time I'm not sure Cricket's support has a clue what they're talking about. All I know is, tons of people are scooping them up for $49.99 from their website as "new customers" and then immediately trying to sell them.

To anyone else wanting to pick up one of these second hand, the safest way is to make sure it's the 6GB 256GB model. These aren't sold at any carrier, and are fully unlocked directly from Motorola. Picked one up myself a few weeks ago for slightly under $200.
