Hi guys, I recently replaced the glass on my note 2 and the repair was successful. Everything on the phone is fully functional.
However, I notice that the phone sometimes switches to a strange discolored mode and then back to normal.
When the display is discolored, it looks like what is happening in this video:

So does anyone know what the issue is? Have I damaged the ribbon cable somehow?
The LCD and digitizer seem to be unscathed. When the screen is not in "discoloration mode" the colors are crisp and clear.
Something really strange I've noticed is that sometimes the screen only discolors when I pull down the status bar. It will only be discolored for the status menu. The rest of the screen will remain fine. This does not happen all the time. Sometimes the entire screen has no discoloration at all.
I'm not sure what I've done but, any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Ok, so I didn't know that, that (from my other post) was "Insurance fraud". So I decided to fix the phone myself, Insurance cancelled. Now as you may already know, I stood on my phone. I am guessing that the Digitizer is the touch panel and the screen is a the botton displaying the image.. Once the damage was done, I quickly checked if the phone was alright so I pressed the "Unlock key" and had to swipe the unlock screen to see if the phone was working, so obviously the Digitizer is working as it did change to homescreen when I swiped the screen.
As I panicked I took the battery out, and turning the phone back on hoping it will work, It did not. Some green dots and lines started apearing. Then it stopped displaying, so a black screen after the vibration when I'm turning on the phone.
I also know that the phone is still working because when I plug it into my computer Windows 7 has that little bleep..
The glass screen is not cracked but, when you look at the screen at an angle you see the some scratches (or cracks) underneath on the AMOLED..
Now, my question is, do I need a new AMOLED or a new Digitizer?
thanks for your time!
edit; I've been looking at abit of nexus one Screens/Digitizer's, they seem cheaper, so would they work with a Desire?
I wanted to know if anybody else has experienced this or if perhaps my screen is defective. I have been using swype for some time now. I noticed that if I hold my phone at an angle to the light with the screen turned off I can see what appears to be 2 smudge lines across the screen near the bottom where I have been swyping. I thought okay I need to clean the screen. I cleaned the screen and it is still there. I had a screen protector on and removed it because I thought it was problem but it is the actual screen.
Hey guys,
I have an S3 that was dropped and now the screen remains black but the notification light still turns on and it still rings/vibrates when it gets a call or message. I was told it was a digitizer issue and hence ordered a replacement but now I'm reading that it may be the LCD? The glass portion is completely fine, not a crack or any sign of breakage to be found it's just that the screen remains black.

If the glass on the outside of it is undamaged, then it likely is just the digitizer. Try putting on the replacement digitizer and see where that gets you.
Hi,
please have a look at the attached image, cause its hard to explain.
It was kind of strange... it started with some cloudy pixels in the middle of the screen, they went down to where they are now and got more intense.
Its now there since about 4 weeks without change.
Anyone experienced it? I guess I need to replace the screen, or is there any other chance? In case I have to replace it, what would I need to get? The touch screen digitzer or the full lcd display?
Thanks

Although i'm not an expert on this, But i should suggest you to replace Digitizer only because it seems like Display is okay just chemical imbalance between digitizer and display panel.
If you've proper tool to disable the device and with some flat hard plastic or something try to take this to the edge where it easily go out. To me Display seems okie. Because such things happen when we put phone in tight jeans and due to over compression such happens but it has nothing to with display panel, its just chemical in between display and digitizer.
I had an iPod 4th Gen,. Same kinda Dark black spot i've noticed after single drop on top right corner and later it disappear automatically. So just saying try that first rather buying whole new panel or digitizer. Flat blunt plastic to take that bubble to the side
Had my LG G3 for just over a year, dropped it a few times but nothing major - Screen/casing is in perfect condition still.
The screen has started to raise up so light bleeds out on both sides, tried to press it back down but unfortunately it springs back up. This didn't really bother me until the top part of my screen became unresponsive, I can no longer pull the notification drawer down- I've turned on the show touches in developer options and the screen doesn't pick up my touch at the top of the screen, if I put it in landscape mode the same part of the screen is unresponsive.
My device is under warranty but I'd rather find a solution myself to avoid being without a phone for a few weeks etc.
Is there anything I can do except replace the digitizer?

Bump. Having the same exact issue & can't find any solution.
Well, mine had the same problem of the digitizer raised up... I discovered that my battery was swollen then I replaced it with a new one and it fixed that problem... No idea about unresponsiveness...
