its water damage. its from humidity/condensation or whatever and liquid gets under the screen. Eventually your touchscreen will stop working. As long as they water stickers check out you should be able to get a replacement at the store for free

this happened to me when i had my phone in my pocket on a hott day all day. If you play music through your phone in the bathroom while ur in the shower it could easily happen as well

Your shield doesnt protect against humidity.

Never had the issue on my TP1 or my TP2. Sounds like the digitizer and screen may not have been glued together fully. Then as said above, the "moisture" seeps in. What kinda shenanigans are you doing with your phones? lol Stop watching teh pron.

Yeah dude this happen to me.. i called sprint they told me to take it to the store that it was a common issue to take it to the store and they were going to replace the screen. drove an hour 1/2 to my nearest sprint store and the manager told me that they couldn’t do anything about it cuz it was normal for a $500+ phone to do that he also ask me if I use my phone too much lol so I got all pissed and left called sprint again the next day they told me to take it again that they had to fix it. I did and the same story they didnt even check my phone. so i decited to use the regit app and deleted some stuff there that made my screen calibration mess upthey end up exchanging my phone lol i know this might be fraut but they didnt wanted to fix my phone they said that happens to all the htc devices and is completely normal. So yeah please don’t flame me!!!

I dont keep my phone in my pocket and dont take it in the bathroom when I shower. I've had mine since December. Stop f'n up your phones or else lol. j/k I did go through a ten tp's and none had this problem. oh well. Warranty should be a year from the original activation date(original owner).
