Re: Does your screen show Rainbow Banding?

I called and got a replacement. After a few weeks I dropped the phone and wanted another one but didn’t want to pay the $100 so I thought I could replicate the rainbow effect. I put it in my pocket for a couple days and it was back. Got another replacement. Happened on my TP1 and Tp2. This never happened on my Mogul. It only had the white dot thing. I used that issue to get new phones when I had it. Bottom line I can make the rainbow discoloration happen by putting the phone in my pocket and yes I always have a screen protector on my phone.

Just a thought.
Yes, this is what happens. Most people that I know.....well, as a matter of fact ALL people I know, carry their phones in their pockets. It just...natural and normal. I have always carried my phone in my pocket as I am a guy and wouldn't put it anywhere else.

The effect is caused from excessive pressure to the screen as well as temperature changes. These are all stated within the previous pages of this thread. I had the issue so I read them all.

I've had 2 replacements due to this banding, and I will continue to keep in my pocket until I can no longer get replacements. It's not like I'm going to change the way I have used my cell phones for 8 years, simply because of the severely low quality of the screens on these devices.
