Oil stain look on digitizer

I know a lot of you have seen this oil stain look that gets on the digitizer of our Vogue's, I was wondering if there is any way to clean this off, any help would be great.

I got it too, and its a perfect box in the middle of the screen... not spread to the whole thing but maybe a cm from the edges to the middle

No fix for it . unless you replace it . It's because the two pieces of plastic that make up the digitizer or separating .

Is this something that Sprint would replace under warranty in the first year of a device? I am having other issues with my phone too, but if this one will get me a replacement too I may just go with this issue first.

If they won't replace for this, you can find one for around $10 on ebay and from what I understand(thanks tmz) it's not too tough to disassemble and install.

Yes, this would be covered under warranty during your first year. I have had mine replaced for the same thing (and ended up getting the "good screen" on the replacement instead of the "bad" one it came with)

wait for horndog to come on. he will prolly see this thread and would be able to help. he is a vogue user and he has to do this to his phone.

I'm taking mine in for that same issue. It started at the middle and now worked its way covering the whole screen. Really annoying at times.

the oil stain occurs from over heating which causes a warp in the screen
my vougue has the stain too
