[Q] Screen is grey/pink

Hi guys
I hope everyone is well
A week or 2 ago i noticed a pink line down the right hand side of my screen
ALso the bottom of the screen was slightly pink although i could see the text.
Gradually over the last couple of weeks the pink at the bottom of the screen has nearly filled the whole screen. The bottom of the screen is now turning from pink to grey.
Obviously i believe this to be a screen/LED problem
I have looked on ebay and found screens with digitizers but I am not sure if this will do the job or it needs another part with it
can someone please point me in the right direction...preferably with links
thanks in advance

Hi mate, I recently changed the screen and digitizer on my phone. If it's just the screen thats broken then you only need a screen, however you need to be VERY careful when taking out the screen from the digitizer, as if you break the connector to the digitizer then you will need to buy a new one too! Search youtube for "bravo disassembly procedure" or something along those lines, it's the official htc video.
It's actually pretty straightforward to do, and you don't need to treat it as gently as nitro glycerine either, as long as you don't use too much excess force.

Thanks
Hi mate
thanks for the reply
I have seen those videos around and got one in my favourites already
By the sound of my problem do you think i will just need a screen and digitizer or will i need more

Hi guys
Anyone managed to have a look at this?

anyone
sorry to post again
anyone able to comment on this? please

Hey sorry mate.. Hmm if it wasn't the screen then it must be something else... I don't want to tell you what it is for you to aimlessly keep buying stuff, because it's just not worth it. If it wasn't the screen then it could be so many other things.

The glass on the back spontaneously cracked

This morning I heard a loud pop coming from my phone that was lying on my bedside table, and when I flipped it around it the screen was all cracked. XDA doesn't allow me to link to the picture, but remove just remove the space: i.imgur.c om/DUCdbofh.jpg
Maybe someone else could re-post the image in another post? There was also some "fizzling" sounds for a few minutes afterwards as the glass cracked a bit more. It looks like there was some kind of tension in it that finally made it give away, since I haven't dropped it. It was also in the shadow when it happened, so it shouldn't be from a temperature increase from the sun. Has anyone else experienced this, and how should I contact LG about this?

Mine cracked due to a drop. Haven't found a single repair shop who can repair / replace. Only Futuretel Service centre in Ontario has parts to repair, must contact your local retailer (Bell. Telus, Rogers) to get the service.
I tried ebay, ali baba, and amazon, but no luck with finding the right part (e971 back housing).
Seeing that yours spontaneously cracked, you should be able to argue it for warranty coverage.

The second day I had this phone my screen cracked, but it was only one crack line on the center of the screen going horizontal, sprint actually replaced the phone with one out of the box, not a refurb. I'm hoping the Otterbox case prevents any damage.

Mine too!
I have taken perfect care of my phone since i got it a week ago and today it did the exact same thing, "fizziling and all", except it was the front side.

To all of you wisecracks dismissing spontaneous cracks...
It looks like glass can crack without impact:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_glass_breakage
And it looks like there's probably a manufacturing defect by LG that Google and LG are quietly trying to sweep under the rug.

Impressive. It could also be caused by thermal expansion of the battery with the heat. Whatever it is, it would be interesting to know if there are other similar cases.

There are indeed many such cases. In most cases, people haven't been able to claim warranty. Another common thing I noticed in such cases, is that, they have happened in countries like Canada, Denmark, Sweden. It could be a case of the glass not withstanding the sudden temperature changes when it moves indoor and outdoor.
This is the only thing that is stopping me from buying this one or the Nexus 4. Absolutely love it otherwise.

Yellow spot on Display

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

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.

Mine only appears on black.. It's not affecting much, but i still think it should be fixed as quickly as possible.

Notification LED not working

I've just bought used One m9, it was like 100$ under regular price range, that is the reason i bought it. It's missing camera lens cover, and has few big scratches and maybe a little one on camera(whith i'm planning to change if that's really it), that is just, lets say, cosmetic problems.. Thing that bothers me most is that led notification is not working, not even when charging. I've tried that diagnostic things(i mean that *#*#34...), no luck there too. So, what can i do to check if it's software of hardware problem? Thanks in advance.
info on device: 6.0andr, official rom, not rooted.

I have same problem. No obvious issues with device outside of scratches. Doesn't work when charging either. Would be very curious if there is some kind of software thing that works.

It has probably been dropped and broke the led. If it is the front camera with all the damage then it explains a lot.. If the rear camera is damaged then the top of the phone has probably taken an impact damaging various stuff..

I thought that was the reason too, but hoped that is some kind of software bug or anything else software related. Thanks for replies guys.

did you ever get it fixed? mine has the same issue, i think i might just have to live with it broken

Hi,
i had the same problem, the indicator light stopped working and i don't even noticed it.
I tested the LED with the HTC service test nothing, i flashed different images nothing.
I searched for replacement parts to fix it, im not 100% shure but i think the LED is on the Camera Board you can find it on fixit.
After 4 hours i just grab a toothbrush and clean the area over the led and it worked ! It was just dirt over the notification LED.
i hope this is helpful for somebody

It so is! I thought mine was done for for easily over a year. Read your post, grabbed a toothbrush and low and behold, a tiny little LED appeared!
To add to the usefulness of your post I'd like to note to anyone reading how small the LED is on this thing. It's the size of ONE of the little holes on the speaker, on the bottom row, about 5 holes in from the right edge. It's super tiny, so It's apparently easily covered with dust.

Hi, only to inform, just in case you plan to clean again later, it's the 7th hole starting from the right-bottom one
