Hmm I thought it was just me having this problem wow didnt realize this was such a big issue. Well I have to get my phone replaced anyway since my keyboard died :(.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

With the TP "off" dont know if people have 2 pros and can put them side by side, but I noticed that the one with the rainbow the touchscreen hardware has a kinda gold/greenish film look and my other TP is a dark black film....so they are two different hardware screens all together.

Personal TP got it in Oct with no problems with rainbow
Work TP got it two weeks ago has a rainbow

Must be done under "fluorescent" lighting to really see the rainbow/oilslick blob

maybe the gold/greenish film touchscreen is a defect? ...just a thought

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

I just received my 3rd touch pro last week because of that smudge on the screen, its very annoying at night time with the light on, you can't really see it in a day time. when you press in that area the smudge becomes huge, almost covering the whole screen.

poor duck....does the touchscreens with the TP off look like a gold/greenish tint film?

Trying to see if the gold/greenish tint touchscreen is a defect.

My personal TP touchscreen has a black tint film look which I got in Oct and have no rainbow/oilslick problem.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

No, my new one has black tint touch screen, the one I sent was gold/greenish and the annoying rainbow spot.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

maybe these gold/greenish touchscreen are bad?

if you dont have a problem with the black tint touchscreen we might have a clue on these rainbow/oilslick touchscreen issues.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

I dont have any problem with the new phone, I think this last build is the best so far, no issues yet, even that huge gab that was in the keyboard is gone and now the 2 parts are well put together.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

Is there any relation perhaps to people who have this problem and people who arent using the stock battery?? Perhaps a radiation problem, or overheating problem?? I have this problem on my 3 week old TP and I use the Seidio 1500 mAh battery. I was just wondering if these batteries bause more overheating, or give off more radiation and have an influence on this problem. If not, then I just need to swap this phone out..

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

does your touchscreen look gold/greenish tint film or black.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

Not for me. Mine was on a stock battery. The good thing about it is that insurance covers it for free, it's a known issue. My sprint store was nice enough to give me a spare battery for my trouble and my replacement TP seems to run smoother then my first so all in all this wasn't that big a deal.

I would suspect that this problem might occur from too much pressure being applied to the screen and the layers that make up the touch sensitive LCD de-laminate. For example if you sat on your phone or maybe stepped on it this may bring on the screen problem although I can't recall doing anything like that and I had the issue anyway.
