Dust underneath screen - panel manufacturer poll

---

Hi guys, this thread is for all users that have dust underneath screen problem with Sensations.

We all know that our Sensation's screen is made by Sharp or AUO. In addition, it is obvious that dust problem is real.

I just bought the phone and I really want to find out is there a connection between panel type and dust problem (so we can avoid it if possible).

Since the threads above contain a lot of uncategorised data, I decided to open new thread with a poll to get more info.

My guess that problem occurs when glue breaks and sucks in (because of vacuum) the dust captured by battery cover...

To find out which panel you have:
Use terminal emulator (free from the market) and run the command dmesg (root is not needed). It will output a lot of data.

Look for this line and report it (the numbers might not be the same): [9178.895111] Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_??????

(if you can't find it, you can long press on the output in terminal emulator copy all and then paste it into an email and send it to yourself. Then do a search with "panel" as keyword).

To find out is there some dust under your screen, look closer while on max brightness or under direct light (sun, preferraby).


Thanks.

Voted. Sorry, poll does not appear from xda app. Voted from browser.

I wish you would have include no dust aou, and no dust sharp options. I have a sharp and no dust, but I can't vote.

I can't edit poll, only mods can...

Although it is a good idea, i don't know if relevant data would be collected over time if 2 answers would be added (no dust - panel), eg. now you don't have any dust (and voted no), and if after 2 months you "develop" dust you could come back here and vote yes...see the issue?

Yes I see, but my phone is 5 months old, but I guess it could still happen. I just wish we knew the total number of sensation owners on xda vs. How many have dust issues.

Well, although it is too early too tell, but judging by results so far, it may be that digitizer implementation is culprit here... :/

It would be nice to know who assembles it, panel manufacturers or HTC... ?

I'm not sure how to vote on this. Truth is I have had dust on both types of screens. 4th replacement due to dust is on its way. All 4 exchanges were due to dust entering the screen.

I have an AUO screen, and here is the picture of the dust under the screen.

i have a picture of my screen with dust available { ***.imagebam. com / image /f4941c173425172 }

All those having dusts, is it located at the same position on yours ?
