Screen 'burn-in" ? - LG Optimus G (International)

Does anyone notice faded icons on the status bar to the left? Primarily the email and text message notifications (that are more frequently seen in my case). When I don't have a text msg or unread email I can still see it, its faded. Reminds me of the older plasma screen tv's where you get a "burn- in" as you'd say.
Does not seem promising for a phone I've had for 5 months now
Anyone else have a similar issue?

LCD doesnt have the burn-in's.
I noticed them too and did little research - the reason is transparent graphics and android itself, same thing appears on kindle fire.
Btw in my case its always the chrome browser window

how did that work? did you just send them an email explaining the issue? it's just i'm experiencing the same issue, but bought my AT&T optimus G secondhand(barely), and I live outside the US. the problem only seems to be aparent with tumblr, and I was wondering how the replacement process was structured.

I bought mine second hand so LG wouldn't warranty it. I bought the replacement online. E-trade supply.

how much did that end up costing you? was it just parts then you did it yourself?

[FIX] Fix the yellowish screen tint!

Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 6-8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

Hmm, these problems happened to some people i know who bought the HOX at release, or close to release. The manufaturers sent them a letter with apology and that they have the right to claim a new device if they return them.
Some had extreme color defects, others had very sesitive screens(tapping on the side would make the screen look like when tapping on a LCD TV, color disorder).
What you have is not the default yellow tint i meant, our screens if you compare to others is a bit more yellow by default, you have some kind of disorder, either you should return it for service or you should try this app: LINK

Hi dude! Ofcourse i remember! Hows it going developing? Im glad to hear from you again! And I see you have earned a nice title! Congratulations! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Yes I know the difference but this is a a discovery for me.
Thanks..
Tested the app you posted.. Great idea indeed.. But I found the little yellow tint that I have on the screen more comfortable with warm and more saturated colors than any other device.

How do I know if I have tint issues?
My screen seems beautiful?
Unfortunately, I had yellow tint issue too. Since it was a hardware problem, I waited 3 weeks for the technical service to change the entire screen.
Now I'm a happy HOX user with no screen issues

I'd always been a bit annoyed by my yellow hue - and this app works to removed it 100%
Would be nice to have a way of making this change without needing to use a separate app.
exactly.. and app causes lag too.. when enabled. i m on jellybean.

I never received one of these letters, wonder how I go about sorting this out as I have two dots at the bottom corners of the phone, I just put up with them, probably too late to do anything about it now though.

Friend, you have the right to claim a full refund or replacement in two years since you bought the phone, and you have ALL RIGHTS to get it fixed
What´s best to do:
Take your reciept and phone to your seller and describe the problems you've got, they will by force take it back and fix the problem totally for free!
If they refuse to fix the problem, then you should turn to the consumer advisors in your country as the right is by your side, but Im sure you wont have to

new replacement galaxy s3 something stuck between lcd and glass

After sending my faulty galaxy s3 in for repair at telus, then getting it back with a scratched/cracked camera lens, they gave me a brand new galaxy s3 replacement. Im not sure if "brand new" is actually brand new or not, but I saw the guy take it out of the box and everything. So I've had it for about 4 days and I noticed a blue dot on my screen, which kind of looks like a dead pixel but I can see the dot when the the device is turned off too, and it looks like its blue coloured.
Has anyone else had problems like this?
Also on a replacement device, do stores usually allow exchanges on them?
Thanks

Is taking a picture of this possible? You might get more responses if you do. If you cant take a picture, can you at least describe it a bit more like where its located?

Galaxy Nexus broken

Hi,
my friend dropped his Galaxy Nexus on the floor and broke the screen (glass and display). But the phone seems to be working, since it gives the vibration and a little sound when turned on and off. When connected to the PC the storage is displayed correctly (all the photos are there). The problem is when i stick the SIM and when i try to call it fails to receive the call, but afterward you can see the LED notification blinking the white color about every 7 secs.
Since i cannot return for warranty because it was dropped, now im looking to buy the display. Prices seem a bit high...
The question that I've got is this: Is it worth to Change the Display? Can I be sure that the phone will eventually work?
It concerns me the fact that maybe something else is damaged.
Any help or thought is appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: My friend is a Noob when talking about phones and he didnt know whether it was on 4.0.4 or 4.2.1
It will work properly.
What is the price for screen ??

Thanks for your fast answer,
I've been searching over the internet and the lowest price i could find was about $120, was hoping a bit less since other phones like galaxy s3 was like $40. Can you find me any display?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus repair how to
Hi. Only to comment: My Galaxy Nexus bought on the Google Play store started freezing after 9 months... typical intermittent problem.
I had a hard time to find how to create a ticket request to have the Galaxy Nexus repaired.
This is the web page with information:
CAN"T POST LINKS!!! www[dot]samsung[dot]com[slash]us[slash]support[slash]service[slash]warranty[slash]GT-I9250M
I called the Samsung Android phones repair center (at midnight PDT) and got the ticket number, service repair approval. They sent me the regular mail label and I sent it. Now I'm waiting for the repaired phone.
Good luck.

Would you RMA this?

I've noticed that my OP3's display isn't uniform when displaying gray backgrounds (Chrome, no tabs and Spotify) and on the quick settings menu:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=13423&pictureid=53600
Is this something worth returning?
If it is present with night mode off and at all brightness. i would RMA it. In fact I already have applied for replacement for similiar issue. Can you tell me the date of manufacture ? Just curious to understand if it was a bad batch or something like that.

Night mode does indeed make it worse. Regardless of brightness, it's always there. Just less noticeable with full brightness. I believe the date was June 21st. How about you?
RMA.
I had a similar issue, sent it back via RMA, got a new device after 8 days. All good now

So perfect uniformity on all brightness levels on gray screens (especially all tabs closed on Chrome)?
Also, did you purchase directly from OP? If so, what option did you choose to get a new device?
Yes, perfect uniformity.
I purchased directly from OP. Clicked "Service Request" in my Oneplus account, chose "Replacement".

Thank you for the information. I think I will opt for a replacement and hope that my current device was just part of a bad batch - others, including yourself seem quite happy with their phone's display.
I have uniformity issues and they are extremely noticeable on grey colors. I read a few posts saying they had issues and the replacement was perfect so I issued an RMA myself. I made a reddit post to get some feedback on the quality of the display on my device.

That requires very little feedback other than that it looks terrible. I hope we receive one each of these illusive phones with no issues.

HTC10 Screen Problem.Is this hardware or software related?

Hey guys.I'm new here and I'm a HTC10 user for the first time.Before this phone I used LG Nexus4 and P970.
I'm loving this device so far.The device is with me for 7-8 months.But last month it snowed here in Turkey and I was on my way to basketball match at night in the Arena.I saw this issue for first time at that night.Thought it's about cold weather(because it's metal body?).BTW I've got a Spigen's 2 pieced case.
Also this device has been already RMAd once because of screen popped out(glue was not strong enough I guess).
But this month I'm seeing it almost everyday.When I touch screen with a little pressure it's going away for a second and comes back or not(it's just random sometimes).Sometimes I can't even take photo because of randomness of this issue.Also there's a little white dot in the bottom right corner of screen.It appears at white backgrounds and it's brighter than other areas.This is also an issue for me.
Tomorrow I'll RMA my phone to local service in here.
Just wanted to let you guys now about this and ask what it is all about?
It was my first subject in the forums.So sorry if I'm on the wrong place and sorry about my english.It's just not that good
Here's the album for images.I can't add images to forum yet.Please put "." instead of "*"

It has a lot of display problem. HTC 10 is flawed
Today I got the call from repair service.They said my device is repaired.Here's what's changed:
-Motherboard(New IMEI)
-Cpu (Dunno why)
-Lcd screen (From Sharp to Tianma)
Everything is perfect for now.Happy to get back on my musics with this phone and Hd598Cs. :highfive:
There's one thing I noticed because I used both LCD screens from Sharp and Tianma.
Sharp had a shadows(kinda look like it) on the side of panel.And Tianma has a yellow tint at bottom side of screen.Some guys said that It's glue and will go in time

Sounds like they've repaired it rather than swap it out. A like for like would have been the best outcome for yourself.

Yeah I'm happy with the way of solution.
Because someguy in here(Turkey),got a swap report and waited for a new device about 3 months.Because our services gather all devices in together once in month and at that time there was no swap unit for the guy.So he just waited,waited and waited...
But here's the thing,if you're going to change mobo,cpu and LCD;why don't you just swap? Only things that aren't repaired probably the camera,speakers,antennas etc.

Released in April, I got mine on release day, could be a faulty batch. As you can't really communicate with htc directly (as in the tech who'll be looking at the phone) you have very little sway over what they do next.
It'd be interesting to see if they share notes with each other based on your case file, perhaps talking with them directly they can agree that a like for like replacement would be the most viable option moving forward. If not I'd say insurance would be the only other option, besides third party but at this point a patch up wouldn't fill me with confidence.
Sorry mate, not a lot more I can think of.

Yeah that's how I checked my screen.If you ask about serial number it was on the box or in the box.There was a sticker on my box when I bought.
And btw I got my phone back from repair last week.They repaired it quick,about 3 days.There's no problem but the yellow tint at bottom of screen.It's a common issue with Tianma,at least people say so.

Well there's difference between UK Customer Services or HTC UK and HTC Turkey.For example: HTC Turkey says "You can replace it or get a reserve phone while yours is getting repaired,bla bla. But services say they'll give it to you if yours is not repaired after 10 work-days.Also HTC Turkey is not good at marketing,production or customer services.Some guys waited 3-6 months for replacement unit.
I'm using the same device but first time screen popped out from bottom left and changed.Also back button light was very dim than the other one.Then there was this screen problems at imgur album appeared,showed line like artifacts and white dot at bottom right(That's white dot is also common in a lot of users).Screen,mobo and CPU changed but still with the same metal body(I know it because there's a tiny dent at the body).

Appreciate different regions may have different levels of customer service, even though I strongly disagree with this.
Perhaps a complain to htc global? Explaining your predicament?
I'm not sure mate,
