so i cant think of the name and i dont think it will be easy to search but if you look at the picture is this that "ring of death" or the "rainbow effect" on my phone? sorry this is the best pic i could get

kinda looks like an oil stain

I had a spot like that on my TP too. Although I had no issues whatsoever with the unit till the kb died and I got a new one....

If you have a screen protector on it then it may be something in between the protector and the screen. If not then, well good luck my friend. You may be due for a replacement.

I believe that happens when you remove the screen protector from the phone like pulling a band aid off you made the TFT part of the screen rise like a bubble

Repair store may change that in less than 5 minutes. Done out of the door. My power switch wasnt responding well and took it to Sprint, bam they changes the screen part ,then I remembered the little tiny smudge i had on my screen..two birds ,one stone kinda deal

if you didnt notice it says "alltel" on the top right. in that case the alltel touch pro's are pretty rare and hard to get a replacements for. you usally have to get the vzw tp now

i never had a screen protector on this phone. i thought i had a stain in my shorts cuz the shorts i had on i wear all the time and were really dirty that day....not the case. its in the shape of a triangle

the phone itself is not effected. i never notice it unless the screen is off and in the right angle.

will this eventually effect the phone? as i said before i didnt know what to search for so i didnt look to see what it effects the phone
