Hi there,
I accidentally dropped my TP2 and now the bottom right corner of the screen doesn't work anymore. At first it was just a small part of the corner but it got bigger a few days ago. Can anyone tell me if this is fixable?
Thanks in advance.

does it look something like this? Or do you mean that the touch screen part doesn't work when you tap
Actually it's more like this
It's just that the corner is black. It's still touchsensitive but it's just black.
I know it may be too late to post this, but getting insurance is key during times like this. Tmobile USA offered me $49.99 for up to 3 lost or stolen phones for 1 year. I can renew this plan after a year. Tmobile also offers insurance for $5.99 a month, but you have to pay 99.99 for lost phone replacements.
I don't think that's savable. I might be wrong but I think you'd have to replace the screen on it :/
Replace the screen...

I had a couple issues with my epic and when I brought it in for repair/replace under TEP, they were able to fix the ear speaker but the lines on the screen remained so they ordered a refurb which I received last night. At first I was so excited because it was in so much better condition than mine but within the first minute I noticed the screen was way looser than my year and a half old POS that's been dropped on concrete a few times. So what should I do?
I googled it and it appears that a repair store can strip it down and tighten a few screws to fix it, but if it just came from the "sprint certified" refurb factory or whatever, why the heck didn't they do it? I'm assuming it's normal and I can't really think of any repercussions to having a loose screen but it really does bother me for some reason. I haven't even put a battery in it or anything, should I take it back to the same store and see what they say or just activate it and live with it?
I'm not sure if this will even show, but here's a pic:

That gap is over twice as big as my old one...

Could call Assurion back and tell them they sent you a defective refurb. It has happened to many paying customers.
Yup just get a replacement. Took them 3 tries to get me an acceptable refurb.

^Yeah, even I had replaced my screen a few months back. It's gonna cost you anywhere between 1-1.5k! Although mine was under warranty, so got it replaced for free.
You can get it replaced at any samsung service center and it took them a couple of days in my case.

Some repair it on the spot some take days... they charge u accordingly... even a local mobile repairguy "may" be able to repair it... would suggest a samsung authorised service centre..
So I noticed earlier today there's a small gap on one side between the glass and the body. My ocd is killing me. The issue I have is dust, dirt and other small debris can settle within the crevice.

Does anyone else notice this?
Edit: pic updated
I haven't noticed this yet on mine but just got it 3 days ago. I will keep looking as I have a bit of OCD too.
I believe I also have a whee bit of a gap on the left side , but it is so small it doesn't bother me. I don't think I could get a picture of it if I tried it is so slight. I really had to look at it to convince myself it was even there. Your first picture makes it look quite obvious on yours though. I assume you're having it replaced because of bad pixels so hopefully the next one will be 100%.
Yes I'll be taking mine back due to this and 7 dead pixels. These two things made it an easy choice whether to return or keep it.
UPDATE: Contacted motorola. They said either i ship mine back to them and then theyll send me a new one. or they ship me a new one put a $200 hold on my CC and then once received, i ship mine back to them.
Hi everyone,
The blue streaks have actually been there a few weeks now, but the red one just appeared. Can something like this be fixed; aside from lcd replacement?
Thank you

Okay perhaps not backlight bleed, more like stuck pixels. I've run the various stuck pixel tools for a couple days now, to no avail. Guess I just have to put up with it. Cheapest replacement lcd I've found is $40.
Has no one else experienced this with their Nexus 7?
Nope, looks like a damaged lcd. I expect there has been pressure applied to it or something. My best bet is that you cannot fit this with any software.

Yeah that appears to be the case. Well it's def out of warranty, guess I'll just nurse it along till the Nexus 7 2016 (assuming it actually is) comes out.

The screen has cracked for a very long time but still functional. Just now, it fell once again and then a white-ish thin line appeared at the very right corner, but I ignored it as it does not disturbed me. Few hours later, I think i put a little pressure into this pressure (But I'm pretty sure i am not, because my the only thing i did was to put it inside of my jeans pocket) and poof! Half of the screen cannot be seen clearly (refer picture). But still could function as in I could still use the touch screen mode at the affected area. Could this lcd screen problem be saved without replacing the lcd with a new one? Replacing it is my last resort if I could save it DIY. Help me, thanks!
Yeah, sure, via a software update. That'll also give you wireless charging, but only if you charge the phone inside the microwave.
You've cracked the screen! What sort of DIY fix you assume can exist, besides replacing it?
tired of cheap ebay screens, what replacement screen do yall recommend?
OnePlus RMA. It isn't overly expensive.
From memory, it was around £90 for me.
