The Dreaded 'Dust Under The Screen'...

[holz75]

Hey guys... I'm starting to get some dust particles on the top left of the screen. :-( Anyone else? Yes, I do keep it in my pocket (with case and screen protector), but my HTC Vivid held up pretty nicely with barely any dust!? OCD sucks! Ha.

that would bug me too

I had that issue a long time ago with my HTC Hero. It is definitely an annoying problem to have.

Is it just stuck under there? Can you blow it out?

 

[holz75]

I wouldn't even know where to blow it out from? There aren't any gaps. It's a pretty solid build.

I took mine to the Sprint store and they cleaned it out for me, but that was three years ago. I don't know if they still do that.

I thought the screen was glued to the glass?

yeah, there's no way it's glued... i found some threads on xda talking about it too. i figured i'd get a few dust particles way down the line, but i didn't think this quickly? i've had the phone since early may.

Both mine & the wife's Sensations suffer from this - in fact I'm on my third handset (all swapped for the same reason). I was hoping that it was just a design fault that affected the Sensation but it seems maybe not :/

before my HTC vivid, i had 2 blackberry torch models, and all 3 phones had it. i honestly think it's unavoidable! right now, there are like 5 particles that are only visible with a black screen in sunlight, but so far, it's not bad when i'm using the phone inside or outside. i'll monitor it. honestly, it's probably better for my OCD, so that i can finally get rid of it and not care! ha.

Wondering if it gets in through the speaker holes?

i'm guessing that may be the case? my co-worker has an HTC One too, and he's got a couple specs underneath his glass screen as well. :-(

I've owned my One for 15 days now (1 day late to exchange here in Canada... ARGHHH) and I noticed a speck of dust under the screen near the top left. It is very distracting now and "cannot be unseen". I don't understand how these things happen when these screens should be hermetically sealed, made sense back when screens were just a plastic covering over an LCD.

I also have a slight light leak where the glass meets the bottom right edge next to the home button, appears as a very thin strip when capacitive buttons are lit up. If I press hard with my finger, the light disappears. Anyone else have this?
