the color changing is pretty common too...the slide to unlock hypothesis is a good guess. i didn't have it on my phone for the first few months tho (wish i did) and the dot was still there.

It may be a hardware defect but my current phone which I have had for about a month now does not have them. I'm sorry but I cant see settling for a defect on a phone that is worth so much. If I am not mistaken it is still sprints most expensive phone. If (when) the spots develope on my current phone will move to yet another mogul.

I also have the two white spots on my phone, the one in the bottom left hand corner is larger than the one above it. Does anyone know if sprint is replacing phones for this defect?

it is most annoying and noticable when the screen is light (aka websites, email, etc.)

It's not slide2unlock. My first phone never had slide2unlock and had this problem, and this phone had the problem before I installed it.

they will of you have Equipment Protection. If not you may need to go to HTC.

I got a spot too. Like most of you I thought it was my fault.

Dam it. Now I am really starting to hate the Mogul and Sprint! HTC put together a POS and Sprint sold it too soon. Come on, nobody in QC experienced any of these flaws. Get real. I think they knew the Iphone was coming and they needed something asap.

All these freaking flaws are really pissing me off. The worst is the stupid "can't get a call because the phone won't wake up". We got cell phones that can't even get calls! Oh...and the stupid Direct Draw flaws kill me. I'd go with a touch, but it's just as bad.

I think, the only reason we keep this horrible product is because we like tweaking it....but come on already this is ridiculous and it sucks. We paid a lot of money for this thing. This phone is simply way too unreliable for me to trust anymore. Ugh.

Ok, sorry for the rant.

Back to the dot. I do believe it is some sort of pressure from behind the back light. Try this: slide out the keyboard and put pressure in that area with your fingers. Notice that the force has no affect on the dot. A little butterfly effect happens in the surrounding area, but the dot remains bright. Maybe we need to open that case and loosen it up a bit in those areas.
