I ask again, have you tried it? I stated most cases. Maybe I should say some cases? I had the oil spot by placing it on my tv. The oil spot would slowly get less noticeable, but it would get larger and more noticeable if I put it on the tv again.

well that's not the brightest idea to begin with anyway is it? why would I try something that would potentially damage my phone? I don't have my phone anyway, HTC has it.

and if it looks like this what you are seeing:

That's exactly what I had, but the sprint store replaced my phone. I also read on XDA awhile back that ppl were having the problem by placing the phone on speakers to rest the phone(same concept I did when I rested phone on my tv in my room).

I still think a lot of the problems are caused by magnetic interference of some sort.

well I never put anything near speakers because I know they are a huge magnet, and I don't have any crt monitors or tvs, all lcd so it happened because of my phone overheating, which you can read about in the bold part of this thread

Just a quick note:

I have the Newton's Rings too. Took my phone to Sprint, and they ordered a replacement...FREE OF CHARGE! No hassle, no begging, no convincing.

I love Sprint!

i also have a small "smudge", and my screen is slowly "peeling" off of the phone on the bottom right side. 1 month old phone.

i just filed for an advanced exchange, they say the fee was waived, but we will see in the end.

my first TP was perfect, too bad it was destroyed. now i have to deal with these sub par builds

I went to the Sprint Store on at the Sprint Campus here in Overland Park today,
and they told me that they would not be able to do anything for me since its a known issue from HTC, and HTC has worked with sprint and told them not to replace the phone, that what is happening is normal.

UGH!!!!!!!!!

Just posting to let you guys know I just activated TP number 6 since November. They are lasting about a month before the rectangle appears. Sprint replaces with zero hassle or questions. Deffinately not magnetic problems, I'm sure it's the heat. I own a busy financial advisory practice and use my phone non stop all day and it gets hot. My wife on the other hand is on her original with zero problems and uses hers very very little.

I'm not doubting heat is a major problem as well. I just know that a magnet can do it also. I've done it to two of them.
