BB Curve 8520 - 8530 :: Black Faded Spot On Screen

Aug 4, 2010

Now I've had this phone for about 2 months...decent phone, few problems here and there but good for the most part.

I originally got one which had a dead pixel on it, and was sent a replacement phone free of charge, no hassle.

Now with this phone, about a week ago I noticed a black faded spot on my screen upon waking up, having it charge overnight.

You can really only see it when there's a bright white background or if you tilt the phone, its about 1/4".

I called Fido, they said to do a system restore/backup to see if that resolves the spot. Didn't work.

I call back, they said they'd ship one out and have a tech check it out and determine if it was caused by physical damage, and if it was I'd be invoiced $200 for a refurbished phone and not able to get this unit back.

Now I'm pretty sure I didn't drop or ding or pinch my phone, but I cannot be entirely sure. It's also protected by an Otterbox Defender series case which is pretty rugged...but I'd hate do be billed for $200 when I guess I could learn to live with the spot, but still sucks considering I paid full price for it and I don't believe i caused any damage to it..

Anyone else experience similar problems with their LCD's?

BB Curve :: 8520 Dark Spot On Screen / Visible On White Background

Aug 15, 2010

I recently bought BlackBerry Curve 8520, and today I noticed a dark spot on its screen it is only visible on white background, and the text reads just fine. The intensity of the spot changes it depends at which angle I am reading the text, etc. (well, this is rather obvious, I guess). I tried to reboot the device by removing the battery, it didn't help.

BB Curve :: 8530 Have A Black Screen With An Hour?

Aug 22, 2011

I'm have a black screen with an hour glass off and on for 2 weeks! Sprint is my service provider and they switched my phone with a refurbished phone with the same problem. I'm wondering why I have to join a forum and not be able to speak with anyone from BB?! Sprint has the worst customer service reps! And as a customer for 10 years with a company that you pay your bill on time, in full, 3 lines, with insurance why I'm being given a used phone?! I'm beyond annoyed and frustrated with this phone and Sprint.

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Do Away With Home Screen?

Apr 29, 2010

I looked through the forum and couldn't find this question answered before, so please forgive me if it has.Is there any way to do away with the Home screen altogether? I'd like to be able to just have the Apps shown. I'm sure there's probably a theme out there to do it, but I'd rather not have to use a theme.

I've got an 8530 from Sprint.

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Dust Under Screen?

Feb 16, 2010

What's the best way to get rid of the dust under the screen of a 8530? I recently noticed this and my carrier said it was caused by dust getting in through the speaker area on top of the phone and that there was nothing they could do, they tried using a canned air, but didn't budge. I asked both U.S. Cellular and Verizon reps what I should do and they say that I need to replace the phone. (Contact my Insurance Company, which is DTS Insurance I believe my carrier uses.)

So far to correct the issue I've applied a case that covers up most cracks and a privacy protector which made it so I can see the dust under the screen. but, still I'd like to know how to fix the issue.

So far the only thing I can think of is to take the housing apart and probably just put a new housing on, but clean the lcd underneath the plastic screen.

BB Curve 8520/8530 :: Tips For Protecting Screen

Apr 1, 2010

It will be a couple of days before I can purchase my skin from BSE and was wondering if anyone has any tips on protecting my screen from pesky scratches (I have a tiny one already from over-cleaning the screen, damn fingerprints!) until then. I know it would help, if not eliminate, my fear of scratches if I could just stop cleaning the screen, but those fingerprints drive me mad!
