I had my display changed for this matter, and know, the new display has the same problem again. The new one was actually older (the stamp on it) than the first one but still produced in mid December.
Yeah, same with me, the spots have reappeared in exactly the same places on the new display. Therefore Iāve decided to wait a bit before asking for yet another one, hoping the manufacturing problem will eventually be solvedā¦
I had news from support, they identify a problem on the construction ācaused by pressure pointsā. They are building a new process, it can take some time but they donāt forget us

Great news!
Thanks for sharing it!
Same problem here. Fairphone had sent me a new display and I replaced it some weeks ago.
Now the bright spots reappeared on the new displayā¦
Hi everyone.
Fairphone asked me to send my device back because of multiple problems (cracked protective case, buzzing in earpiece and bright spots on second display).
It was really quick as I got my phone back exactly a week after sending it. New protective case (third one since January), new earpiece and new display (third one since January).
So the DHL guy handed me the parcel, I opened it, started the phone and switched the language from Dutch back to French. I started reconfiguring the phone and reinstalling my apps when I noticed after about half an hourā¦ Guess what?
A bright spot on the display!!!
Thereās only one and itās still quite discreet, but thatās how it started the last couple of times.
Needless to say the phone hadnāt been dropped or mistreated in any way. I hadnāt even had the opportunity tu put it in my pocket!
Conclusion : the phone was sent back to me with yet another faulty displayā¦
Have already sent an email to supportā¦
Just to let you know guys, I have the same issue. I can see multiple bright spots in the lower half of my screen. Especially on bright screens (e.g. during browsing) and by scrolling you stumble upon these spots. It is not a showstopper for me to use the phone, but frankly it should not happen with a phone that costs that much. It seems you really have some serious quality issues with your phones. Anyway, I hope you get them sorted out one by one and learn from it. Fairphone is definitely a good thing, but donāt rely on your āfairā bonus. A working phone of good quality is still a necessity.
Hereās the latest news for me
Fairphone asked me to send my phone back yet again and it came back 10 days later.
Everything seems OK this time, no bright spot for the moment.
Hope it will lastā¦
However I have to admit that the Fairphone team has been very responsive since the beginning and dedicated to resolving the problem. So whatever happens, Iām confident I made the right choice;

Same here, they asked me to send back my phone. But I canāt connect to the return websiteā¦
Hello guys!
Iām having this pattern as well. But itās not disturbing me (yet).
I donāt have the impression of the pattern getting bigger, maybe itās because I always keep the backlight on low setting.
As the problem doesnāt look too be solved with a new screen, I will wait before contacting support.
Hi everyone having this issue,
unfortunately the same problem here, the changed display is having similar white spots.
I kind of have the feeling that they were not present directly after the change. As well the white spots are all in the area of the battery. Could it be possible that there is correlation? Maybe the heat while charging the battery causes the white spots to appear?
I just send mine to repair after having this problem on the changed screen too.
I should get my phone in a few days, I will write conclusions here!
I have the same issue on my phone since yesterday. The spots appear on the bottom half of my display and came up suddendly. i didnāt mention them before. I will write to the support. I hope they will take my requests seriouslyā¦ Iām waiting alread 1 month for an answer regarding other unsolved issues.
you see the spots on the keyboard (blue)
I have two very hardly visible bright spots on the display, too. As others said, they are on the lower left and near the middle of the display. My display is made on 16.11.2015.
I will contact support now and ask for a new display as I think itās getting worse. Request number is #119546.
I hope I donāt need to send the whole phone in. I donāt want to send around that expensive device or my personal data, settings and apps as it could get damaged or lost.
I already have a replaced screen cause oft the Touchscreen issue. Now I have the bright spots. They werenāt there at the beginning. I donāt want this telephone anymore. When you have to change the hardware all the time there is no more ecologic benefit. Very disappointing.
Telling by the results of my (interesting, but stupid) experiments I did with a magnet on my laptopās display (not recommended to do), I see a similarity.
The screenshots in this thread all show such spots in the lower part of the display. It would be interesting to know if this is the case for most people with this issue or just a coincidence. I also have a spot at the very bottom of my FP2ās screen.

Have you received your repaired phone?
I noticed the bright spots in February and the FP team told me about a possible solution in June. Unfortunately, I couldnāt send my phone away for a longer period at that time.
Since I got a replacement for my faulty camera module and could swap it myself, I was hoping for the same procedure with the screen. Has anybody received a new screen in return of the old one? Still no fan of being without a phone for two weeks.

I firstly got a new screen and after few weeks this second screen got the same defaults.
Then I send my phone, they repair it in two weeks (including DHL transport) and probably change the screen. But after just one day I noticed that the bright spot was still there :-/
They finally offer me to replace the phone but I declined, I donāt really care about this bright spot at the bottom left and I donāt think that changing a phone just, for me, for a minor glitch is āfairā nor āgreenā. Just to be clear, on my phone I only have one small bright spot and I have to put brightness almost full to be able to correctly see the bug.

Thanks for the update. So it seems like they havenāt really resolved the issue (yet). Since the two spots on my FP are not THAT annoying, Iāll wait for a few more weeks.

I am not so sure, apparently the support was really surprised that it didnāt work for me, maybe I am just unlucky.
