Hey all, the last week or so i have had very strange problems, across multiple roms, (flashed cm7, cm10.1 and stock) And im noticing troubling issues.
my right side of the screen works on and off, like the extreme edge (where a p is on a aosp keyboard, portrait), im getting super lag, like power button wont turn screen off for 10 seconds, home wont do anythng for 10 seconds etc.
Sometimes it works perfect.
ANTUTU scores are in the upper 5000 range, and never drop.
Running at stock speed and governer.
You guys have any idea?
Now I'm getting ghost touches. I guess it is dying.

Yesterday a teacher of mine took my phone and when I got home the screen started to fizzle. It has a blue-ish tint now and washed out colors.
What can be the problem & how can it be fixed w/o going to sprint?

Definitely a hardware issue. If you have TEP then it should be free to fix and 35 if not (bill the teacher lol). Take it to a sprint repair center.

I got insurance on my phone I just don't want to go to sprint and deal with the Q&A and 3hr wait. Can I make claim with asursion and not be charged since I have insurance ?

The areas where I touch is regular, but the colors are all washed out or have a blue or yellow tint by default. My screen isn't cracked if you were thinking that.

You actually give the phone to the teacher? Wow, much has changed since I've gone to school.
This is why I don't trust people with $500 phones...
Your best bet is to go though Sprint, like others have said.

Are there any bubbles on the screen? I'm trying to figure out if ur teacher dropped the phone and didn't tell u, or if they got any liquid in the phone. Because that sounds like a screen bleeding problem.

Since I'm in a nearly all girls semi-strict high school we could get suspensed or kicked out for not obeying the teachers(men are treated in my school like a black man in the 40s no rights at all) . And I'm thinking the teacher put pressure on the screen when he took it away from my friend, I seen him put it in his pocket with other people phones. When I approached him about it he denied it, which I knew he would do.

There's no bubbles it's just the color is so off
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
ok...yes, the screen has a bleeding problem. it's from the inner part of the screen. he put to much pressure on it. it's like when you press your finger on a computer screen and you get that funny discolorization... thats what happened. can you see the normal stuff on the screen though? or is there to much color on it?
this is a slight hardware problem that is sometimes fixable.

Just noticed on my phone earlier when i unlocked it that i hat a red dot near the bottom. Ran a pixel test i found on the market and it shows up on any background and my brightness setting doesn't affect it. Is there any way i can fix this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Press hard on the screen where the stuck pixel is so the screen distorts in that area and hold for 10 or so seconds. Thats how ive done it for my lcd monitors and its worked.

That wouldn't work anyways cause the screen it under a hard glass cover. Also its not a true lcd screen its an oled screen

Maybe an app could be developed that uses the device gpu/cpu to mimic the effects of Pixel Tuneup?
I can't link because i'm new, but it's pixeltuneup[dot]com.
Just a thought. If this turns out to be a widespread issue, a simple app might be something people would pay a buck or two for. From what I understand, PT just puts out a calibrated video signal that is good at fixing pixel issues.
Ill have to give that a look and maybe contact the developer. Its not that bad of a problem but i always find myself staring at it lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
So does anyone else have a possible idea? I've looked all over Google recently and can't find much about fixing oled screens.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I supposed you've tried the screen calibrators that flash a whole bunch of colors. Thats would really be my only advice. If it doesn't work out a warranty replacement would be my last resort

Yea I've tried a few if those already and left each one run for about an hour. As for a replacement i wouldn't be able to do since i just got this one after my last one broke. Also I've have this phone for a little over one month or so :/

So why can't you get a replacement ? The phone is to be free of defects for a year, even if you already replaced it. Stuck pixels are a manufacturing defect which is covered under the warranty. If you got it in store, go back to the store. If you got it from 611 or online call the 1800 number and tell them.
Ah ok i see what you mean now. My next issue would be to find a stock 2.3.6 Rom

I came from the Galaxy S3. Traded for the Optimus yesterday. So far I love it! I do tons of gaming and it feels so much smoother than my S3 did. The keyboard is the ONLY issue I have found so far, it has a very hard time keeping up with me. Lol. What's your thoughts on the most powerful phone in 'Murica?

check out SwiftKey 3 if you're looking for a legitimately good keyboard, its prediction and auto correction features are ridiculously good.
as for the phone, I've got to say it's the best phone I've ever had, and I've had couple of android phones before this (came from the Epic 4G Touch) and also have had iPhone, and none of those are even close to the experience I've gotten on LGOG.

Yea I went from the iPhone 5 > Galaxy s3 > Optimus G and feels like the best choice I've made.

anyone worried about it breaking at all? Having any issues?
The ONLY issue I notice is it runs a little warm BUT I do have a high amount of screen on time. Other than that, I use mine without a case and all and haven't dropped it yet. No weird creaks and seems very well built. I'm in love with the design.

If you want a phone that runs hot, try the Evo3D. I swear, if my heat ever went out in my house, all I had to do was drill the processor in that for a few minutes. Accidently left mine under my pillow one time when it was charging. Got so hot, it burned my face when I tried to make a phone call. I stream Netflix alot, and it got uncomfortable to hold it. This phone runs like a liquid-cooled dream compared to that.

Yea, honestly my S3 ran way warmer than this OG. But even with the heat it is still the best phone I've ever used, and I think mine runs warm because I have so much screen-on time

Installed it straight out of the box... turned it on minutes after installing it. I would give it at least an 8.

I've only had the device about a week... And no, it's not noticeably thick. You can tell it's there, but it's very smooth; I personally almost prefer using my screen with this rather than with just the bare glass.
I have the invisi-shield extreme and I like it... it's not really thick or anything and it's like a insurance in protecting your phone... the only thing I had a problem with is... there is this spot on the phone that arches over the home button and there is a small space between the button and the shield.... well it just so happened I was getting out the car heading in to work was getting all my stuff together and I dropped my keys which had a small lock on it for my backpack... and it hit perfectly on that spot and shattered my screen from that point and cracking lines went up the screen... I was irritated at first.... but got my replacement with my insurance policy and got my extreme shield transferred over to that one... but other than that little weak spot it's a really good protector and doesn't affect the screen touch at all... hope this helps your decision

Hi, I was planning to sell my n2 to get the 3,it's in perfect condition with every accessory still in its packaging, however i think i won't get much on it since i have huge smudge on the top left of the screen. I dunno what caused it but I'm thinking it's due to playing tennis game on it a bit. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any solution?

Those are finger marks, you're right that it's caused by games. Notice there's 3 areas affected, where the directional pad is and where I'd assume there's buttons A and B in that game. And that's why I use a screen protector. If you don't then you can get the glass replaced, not recommended as it's not 100% safe.
It's probably the oleo phobic coating rubbed out in those areas. They do sell oleophobic replacement kits online. Try it out.
