Crack on back of watch - Moto 360

ive had my 360 since day one and has been great but recently u noticed the back cover has cracked (by the litte green light). I have never dropped it or hit it. Has anybody else experienced this? Maybe from charging? I dont know how it happened but hopefully the only one.

[Q] Can you fix a stuck pixel on AMOLED screen?

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?

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

So does anyone else have a possible idea? I've looked all over Google recently and can't find much about fixing oled screens.

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

Black lines on screen in dark colors.

Guys everyone test ur phones do its a dim light or a room... now open a fully black photo or a video.. a lot of smiled screens have these strong spots or lights when ur looking at ur screen in the dark.
Or download an LCD test and perform it in a dim/dark room...
I want to know how many of ur screens are effected because a lot of people are reporting this issue and when they exchange their phones they still get the same problem.
For me its an issue since I payed $600 for it and would expect a flawless screen.

I've noticed two very tiny spots that are darker than others when brightness is down and the only thing on my screen is backlight (such as when a game/youtube is loading) but no bars or anything that has really caused me undue annoyance.
Good luck that is a Samsung trademark. Dealt with it with the S2 now the S3. For everything else the phone does I don't even worry about it. But I also go my phone from Tmobile free so I am not too worried as long as it works
So should I get it replaced I bought it for 600 from a tmobile store just a few says ago.. or is it likely I will get the same thing again.. (those black spots/lines)

Just keep it and enjoy it. Most if not all have this problem.
Most super amloed screens have this problem. I knoticed it too when I first got my phone but I learned to accept it because it really isn't visible unless you do what you mentioned above.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Ok I understand but mine doesn't have a little. It has 2 big lines down the screen and a bunch of stains all around... is this considered too much of a flaw with amoled?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Do you see it during normal use or just when you put it in those conditions? Because, I'm sure 90% of the phones will have it with those conditions. If you only have it under those conditions, then ignore it, because, as I said, 90% of S3 owners (AMOLED owners) will have it. If you see it during normal use, then replace the phone.

anyone had any problems with a dead spot on their screen?

I am on my 3rd Optimus G and haven't had and dead spots. I am assuming you are referring to pixels. There was someone on IRC who had an OG with a broke screen. His issue was half the screen didn't come on. I am not sure if that was a hardware issue or if it was physically broke.
I have only had one screen issue and it was on all three OG I have had. There is a bit of light leak on the edges and top. Light leak is when the back light of the screen shines around the edges on a dark screen. I think that is a common universal issue. But, the screen is very vivid and not many people have had complaint about it.
Can you clarify you issue? We might be able to give you some ideas. If you are the original purchaser it is under warranty still. If not, I recommend TEP. If you are on XDA then TEP is a must.

What happened to the previous 2?
when i run my finger across the screen in the middle it wont detect my touch. if i turn on the options in the developers setting to see what its doing you can see when it traces a line, it skips in the middle and starts again about a half inch later. only had the phone for a week or so, so thats not a problem. had a similiar issue on my evo shift way back when. had to take it to sprint store then too. any way i have an appt at 9 to have them take a look at it

Held my rum and coke under my phone while texting drunk. The phone is big, the cup was bigger. 0.4 nano seconds was all it took.
Second one, testing gone wrong, fixing went full [email protected] wrong.

well they are out of stock on the G.. on backorder for a week before i can get replacement. wtf.
had to laugh cuz the "tech" didnt know how to turn off the screen touch traces in the developer settings lol
man this is annoying. seems like everything on the phone depends on that part of the screen ie hitting send for texts and other things lol

Have you tried in landscape? This is a way for me to do certain things when customers come into the store with touchscreen issues.
Landscape is more annoying than the screwed up spot lol

Messed up screen

My wife let out 2 year old play with her phone. He threw it on the ground and now the screen looks like this. Any ideas?

Damaged digitizer. Not cheap to fix.

It may not be the Digitizer. This phone has had a lot of abuse hurled at it by various members of Toddler class. It has time and again proved to be solid.
Just to rule on hardware or software issue, can you comment on if there are any other issues except display ? Also did the 2 year old threw on hard concrete or carpet ?
Haven't noticed any problems but the screen and he threw it on tile floor

Well just about 25% of the status bar is black as well as part of the screen. I'm sure rebooting the device or doing a factory reset isn't going to fix it.
But hey let's see. Supamike88 boot into recovery and see if the issue with the display is present there. To get into recovery press and hold volume up, home button and the power button and release them when the phone vibrates and you see blue text in the upper left corner of the screen (which in this case you might not see because of the screen). Is the issue still present?
You could do a factory reset to see if it fixes the screen, just back up everything before doing so.

Are you not able to turn on at all ? If that's the case, then its probably goner.

If the screen is black but the phone still works, then its most likely the digitizer like I pointed out earlier.
You can buy a new digitizer and replace it, but its not really recommended. You might as well get another S3.
You could also just sell it for parts and try to get another S3. (I wouldn't recommend this unless you can do a factory reset).

Good for you. Please note, when you get the new device back, carefully read the label behind the battery. You may get SGH-T999L instead of existing SGH-T999. The L stands for LTE. If that happens, you will be in luck. But need to understand its not the same device but rather newer version.

Display susceptible to firm presses?

Hi guys i just got this lg tablet and seem to have avoided most of the hardware issues however i have noticied if i press the screen firmly in areas outside of dead center the screen glass will press against the screena and cause colour changes.
It seems to be like its not glass and is infact plastic as that is the only time i have eveer encountered this before and havent had this issue on any of my phones, am i being picky or does everyone notice this?
Help on this matter is appreciated! Thanks

Had a go on mine, pressed pretty hard all over the screen, didnt notice any color changes at all, sreen doesnt seem to have much play either.
Same here, pressed as hard as I was comfortable doing and didn't get anything like this. Your screen/glass might not be seated properly.
Mine is fine too.

Ditto with the above posts. You could have a faulty panel, or you are one strong guy. Tap it easier and see if all still works...
