Hi,
did anybody has this? (see Picture)
Its on the bottom of the screen. I just noticed it while browsing a website in landscape mode.
That may be glue. And I hope it is not a similar problem OnePlus One owners are facing.

Hm, but where? Obviously not on the front Between the Glas and the Display itself?
But,i will check this again when the phone gets warm....
This happens to LCD panels, it could be a one off due to heat etc, or it could be the sign of a faulty panel.

If it is glue, it cam be solved, by putting the phone under UV light or under the sun for some time, and it will go away. Google it.
If this does not solve your problem, look for a replacement.

Hm. A couple of days I think. But I can't tell you exactly. It just disappeard after a while.
I'm pleased yours disappeared. Mine which is identical in both the place and shape has been on my G3 since I got it back in July.
It still gets darker the longer you have heat build up on the screen and when it's cooled down its faint again.
i dont have the same luck as you guys mine are getting bigger and darker i think i have a bad lcd DAMN i really love this phone.
Same issue here. Same color, same location, same size. Mine is invisible when the phone is cool. But when the phone heats up, the yellow is very visible.
Sorry guys, I forgot to come back here with an update.
Mine eventually disappeared last week after nearly 3 months.
I believe it is the glue.
Someone told me to try leaving the phone under UV lighting. I left mine in direct sunlight for when it was not being used. Seemed to cure it in a few days.
yellow spot all of a sudden!
I've updated my phone to lollipop v20e a couple of days ago. Today I noticed this little yellow spot in my phone. Coincidence or not I began to use NFC TAGS early this morning, can this be related using the NFC TAGS and having this function enabled?
yellow screen marks
I bought my LG G3 on the 20/07/14 and after 5 months of use I have a long yellow thick line across the top left of the screen. What makes this even more concerning is my cousin bought the same handset a week before me and his now also has a thick yellow line on the screen. There is nothing you can do to get rid of it and it is more pronounced against a white background.Looks more like screen burn. Both my cousin and I have contacted LG and we are having to send our handsets to them for repair.
I have never experienced this issue with any other handset i have owned. I was unhappy that i had the issue but even more pi$$ed off that my cousin has the same thing happening which tells me either it was a huge coincidence or that these things are not fit for purpose and more and more will be going wrong in the near future.
My handset has been well cared for and never dropped. I am a moderate user so this was even more of a surprise. While the LG is getting repaired I am using my Sony z2 work phone as my personal for now and I don't think I will be swapping back when I get my LG back.
Good luck to anyone who has this issue. My concern is the same thing will happen again and then it will be my problem as it will be outside of warranty.

i have it too in the up-right corner of the screen and it doesn't disappear... it just get darker with hot screen and softens when it cools down
Left-top corner
I also experiencing this issue for 2 months now. its a strip. and its getting longer day by day. once i tried screen burn app and 8 hours continuously screen on resulted in heated display. then, when i press that line temporary it disappears. so obviously its the glue. i'll try the direct sunlight thing. hope it'll resolve this case. it's really annoying
Thanks for the tips :fingers-crossed:

After 6-7 months of usage, same thing, in same place (upper right corner, don't dissapear - only getting bigger and darker on hot screen).
Took my phone to local warranty service, and after 1 week got call from this service - they told me, that service is REJECTED, because phone had physical damage! (WTF?!?!?!?! i haven't dropped it, and there is no crack's/spots of damage on phone!).
After telling them all this, and proposed that it may be glue, or faulty LCD/Overheat - they told me that LCD have crack from back side (?!?!?!LOL!?!?!?!).
Now i'm stuck deep in *ss, and don't know even what to do....
Anyone of you got solution to this problem?
Maybe contacting LG representives directly will help to solve this case?
10x.
help!!! direct sunlight?? kindly put the instructions pls

The other day I noticed that I have a blue dot/circle on screen, maybe a cm in diameter. It's not a dead pixel or anything, it's just like there's a blue overlay on top of the screen. I stupidly carry it around without a case (I used to use my case but whenever the phone rang I used to accidentally decline calls whilst getting it out). Does anyone know what the problem is and whether it's fixable?
Thanks. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
newton ring probably. Seems to become a frequent problem. Try the search on that.

My first phone did the same thing. Yup, it's a newton ring. If you are still under warranty (should have 1 year from purchase date), then just bring it back to Tmobile or whoever you bought it from. They swapped mine out with no problems. There is no fix that I know of without repairing the hardware. Good luck!
These guys are right, it does sound like the familiar "newton ring" issue, common to HTC hardware it seems.
There's a number of other threads across the site on that subject, you can check to see if the pics in any of them match the general look of what you're seeing...but I think the odds are very good you're just the next lucky winner in the newton-ring lottery.
FYI, although there seems to be no universal cause, heat and/or pressure are common suspects.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I bought it handset only from the internet so I have no warranty. It's not too big or noticable so I guess I'll put up with it. It also gives me an excuse to buy myself the Touch Pro3 later on =p.

Most people say you can get them from pressure or too much heat, but I babied the hell out of my first one, and I still got one, so not sure if it really has to do with that or not. Sucks though, it bothered the hell out of me to see it every time. It wasn't horrible, just a faint blueish purple ring. That's the spirit. I want the tp3 as well.
Good day dear xda-developers community,
I have a very strange problem, searching the net did not bring any results so I thought I'd ask the guys here, perhaps somebody has had a similar problem as well.
A couple of months ago my video card broke, I could start up my phone but had a lot of artefacts so I brought it to the store I bought it at and they sent it out for repairs under warranty conditions. I got the phone back and I had no artefacts anymore so I was more than happy.
A couple of days after that I noticed a scratch on the screen, a small one but still quiet noticeable. The phone was never dropped and always carried in the pocket, so I thought to my self "ohh well, I guess this could happen".
Now though, a couple of weeks using the phone I have a strange feeling that the screen that was put on my phone after replacement isn't Gorilla Glass at all, it feels weird when you touch it, not as smooth and there is A LOT of grease that stays on the phone, never really noticed any in a whole year using the phone before, plus the proximity sensor doesn't always work, when I bring the phone to my ear I have to do it a couple of times before it goes out.
Now here's what I am wondering, is there any way to check whether the screen is Gorilla Glass or not, and that the company hasn't just put some cheap replacement glass on my phone to save up money?
Anybody got any idea what's up?
well the easiest thing to do it putting two HOX side by side and compare the two screens i guess
Go back to the shop and demand a detailed repair overview. Your entitled to one since its your phone !
Or let them take it in for another repair/research. Just dont take no for an answer.

I guess we were both duped and had some clone screen put into our phone instead of the original HOX screen, which really sucks, cause I don't even know how to prove that, also I noticed that I have 2 yellow spots on the left-top side of the screen, they are very well visible on the white background and they get even Yellower as the phone gets hotter.

Wauw thats what I had when I just got mine brand new..its a known issue with the One X
It has to do something with the glue..better get it replaced and ask for the old screen so you can check if its a clone.
Hope it will work out well for you bro, I took my loss as they will not give me a refund..

They won't give you a refund, but did you try getting it fixed? is it covered by the warranty? The problem is that I bought it in the netherlands and I was just there a couple of weeks ago, had the phone done and went back to Belarus, where we don't the HTC service centres. I will have to wait till I go to the netherlands again to give the phone back into repairs.

No refund here in Macedonia, the service told me I dropped the phone which I did not...
I am trying to find a replacement screen with digitizer
Guys, over the past few days I have noticed at the foot of the screen in the centre there is a yellow line (approx 1 to 2mm thickness) appearing which looks very much like screen burn.
It can only be seen when a lighter colour is present but it is there no matter what you are looking at.
When watching movies it is horrendous as your eyes are constantly drawn to the yellow thick line.
Question being has anyone else noticed this?
Sounds like a faulty panel to me

Impossible to see if you do a screen grab. The grab would not show the screen burn.
The only way to do it is to take a photo of the G3's screen and I don't have another camera at hand with me this weekend.

No, it's nothing like a dead pixel.
It's more like a yellow stain that progressively gets darker the longer the screen is left on.
I contacted Clove who would send it back to LG for them to look at.
In the meantime if I change the Home a Touch Buttons to Black it covers up the Yellow stain whenever a screen uses the touch buttons.
It's when you are either looking at photos, watching movies or playing games where you don't have touch buttons displayed that you see it.

I have had this on devices in the past, its certainly a faulty screen.
Yes, I definitely agree on that.
Okay I should return it for repair but I would find it murder to be without the phone.
So far it is limited to the area of the touch buttons and like I mention if I change to black you then don't see it a lot of the time.
I'm seeing if I can live with it..........

Just as a warning, when I have had this on devices in the past it is something that gets worse over time, the yellow area will spread, its probably worthwhile getting it fixed now to avoid having it become a bigger problem in the future.
Have you spoke to clove yet? Surely they might just swap it out rather than force you to get a repair?

Yes I spoke with Clove and was quite surprised they would send it back for repair.
At the time I had had the G3 for 18 days.
As such seeing as being without the phone is going to be a nightmare and it's not spreading or getting worse for the time being, I'm mulling over my options.
Fortunately money is not a problem. If it gets that bad I would rather buy another and set up the new G3 in the presence of the faulty G3 then either give the faulty one away to a member of the family which I do with all of my phones and let them decide what to do....
I have the exact same problem. Found this thread googling for it. It's almost right in the bottom center. Looks yellowish and it's driving me nuts. I'll probably hold off exchanging for a while since I cannot afford to go without a phone and have no way to backup everything until someone unlocks the boot loader.

Well, if it's any help to you all I can tell you is it doesn't appear to get any worse.
Yes it's there and more prominant when it gets hotter but it doesn't appear to be spreading or going darker.
At the moment I am still living with it.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my G3. I was so happy when I got it but now it drove me nuts. The display which is supposed to be the selling spot of this phone is not so glorious after all. Although not all users are affected by this I am one of those who are. I noticed a yellow band on the top left side of my screen. As I read online it is glue residue that has protruded through the display. Many people suggest to put it under a UV light but I am not sure if I should do this (the UV light is supposed to dry the glue). I have to mention that I bought the G3 because I had the exact same problem with the G2 in the same place. It looks so ugly and drives me crazy. So I wanted to ask for help from someone over here at XDA who has had the same or similar issue with the G3 or any other phone and is willing to offer me help and guide me through fixing this annoying issue.
Thanks!
I attached photos bellow taken by my other G3 which by the way does not have that problem!
Hello.
I have exactly same issue with my LG G3. :crying: Same kind of yellow spot at exactly same area as it is in your phone. It really is very annoying. Can anyone say if it's possible to fix it some way?
I can't believe that it is caused by my own fault. I read also somewhere that it is some glue which is visible for some reason.

I don't know what to do carrier warranty will not cover this and will say that it is my fault. The only thing we can do I think is either ask LG or make a group complaint since I am sure that there are many more experiencing this problem. I also have it on the G2 and it is even worse it is becoming black blueish. They make excellent panels but their glue sucks. Also drying the phones under UV lights is very expensive that is why they let them air dry which does not solidify the glue and problems like this appear.

I wouldn't put it in the fridge. It is wet and it might damage the internals but since it is -10 here when I am out it is almost gone but it comes back in the same intensity when I enter an enclosed area.

Sounds like a damaged LCD...unfortunately. If you have insurance its probably time to use it. If you don't, then look into the cost of a replacement front assembly(should be @$80-90us) to repair it yourself. It's an easy fix though...just a lil pricey.
I have insurance but here in my country i don't think it's a good idea going there, and i'm afraid they make it worse...
The blue spot only appears on black, so if you're sure it's a damaged LCD and not a software stuff nor hot related i shall take the phone to them to check it out. That's the best i can do
I mean what makes a damaged screen? The phone didn't fall or anything the spot just happend >_< is it wrong manufacturing by LG?? Sorry but it's driving me crazy

It could be anything really... It could be a manufacturing defect that just showed up now over time, it could be heavy use causing high heat and the processor burned your LCD, it could be a hard thumb or fingerprint that compressed the LCD, etc.; many possibilities.
Check this reddit thread because you're not alone... https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2qfzz9/lg_g3_screen_burnpurple_smudge/
It seems like the most common solution was to get a replacement.
If your curiosity is really driving you crazy try posting a pic so xda'ers can see what and where it is. Someone may be able to diagnose it for you or at least give you an educated guess as to what happened.
i added some pics above ^ hope they help
I also have a faint blue spot on my screen, but it's only visible on white backgrounds. Not worth sending it in for.
