Anyone else notice a dim screen on their device? It was super bright when I first got it over a year ago. But recently I've been finding myself not able to read anything in daylight, so I decided to order a new phone because an LCD costs as much as a brand new phone. Here are the results:

2 year old Att i257m on left, week old Sprint l520 on right.
Flashed stock ROM back onto Att one last night thinking maybe the ROM failed on me but its just simply dimmer, by a lot. Anyone know how to look up the files that show current brightness levels?
well as an update I noticed the notification bar is brighter than the rest of the screen, It simply looks like it is worn out from use. the notification bar is black when i have browser open and what not so thats why it is unaffected.

Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with my evo. The screen is all... discolored and weird, almost a grayish tint. I tried rebooting the phone, and it's messed up looking even on the boot screens. The initial white splash screen with 'htc evo 4g' in black looks like it has grey text. Not sure what could have happened, phone was working fine when I put it in my pocket, and I noticed this problem after taking it out.
Anyone heard of or seen this? Something fixable, or do I need to un-root and make a trip to a sprint store?
Here is a picture next to a screenshot of my home screen. Everything seems washed out, and notice how screwed up the notification bar, etc look.

This is caused by your graphics chip not functioning properly for one reason or another. Unroot and go back to stock. IF that does not fix it then return it to Sprint.
So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?
Hello guys. Here I will post a semi-blurry picture of my HOX, (the black), and my girlfriends HOX, (the white).
As you maybe can see, my led light is very heavily decreased, and I don't know why.
PS: Mine is rooted, my gf's is not.
And it's not because of one single rom, because of all that I've tried, (plenty), none of them have increased my led light.
It might not be important, but it really bugs me that I can't see when I get a new text message, etc.

Same problem for me after updating to JB
Are you sure it didn't get dirty in your pocket around the same time you updated? Just in case get a can of air-duster and give the front grill a good clean, it may save you the trouble of flashing roms and fiddling around. Mine gets dusty and dim all the time.
I noticed some red mark/smudge on my screen when it shows black. Below is the screenshot:

this is really noticeable when i set the brightness to max. is this rom/kernel related or is this an LCD defect? do i need to go to the service center so they can check it? thanks!
I also noticed it on my display few days ago , wasn't there before...
But mine is alot smaller so i don't even shure that they will see it in the service center ..
did you also set the brightness to max?
Yes you only really notice it on full brightness and mine is like the size of a rice grain anyway so you need to look for it to see it.
did you have it checked in a service center? or its not an issue for you?
I have the same problem, is it covered by warranty?

Hey folks,
I bet that many of you could remember my name, i was author of many nightlies for our beloved Note2.
My note2 pass away a few weeks ago, there was no accident or drop. Just dead in my hands while was browsing...
I could save my info, disconecting display so the phone boot up and allows me under adb save pics, etc.
As you could see under this pictures, when the phone boots, just a low darkgreen light shows up.. Did anywone have the same trouble? This device comes with me since the beginning in September 2012 with the launch time.. yep nearly 4 years. I would like to save it (i have a new motoG 2015 2gbram) but changing display its more than 120€... its insane.
To sum up i´ll say, when the phone boots up appears this low green in display and in a while the phone reboot itself without no lights, when the display its disconnected the phone complete boot and works obvious without display/imge.
Just asking if someone found this problem and what have you ...
