Hello!
I've been holding off unlocking my HOX's bootloader since I saw a yellow spot appear in the corner of my screen 3 weeks ago. I would go for a custom rom for better performance and battery life, but I'm afraid the spot will get bigger and I will have to send my phone for a repair.
So here are the questions: Has anybody sent an unlocked phone to service for a screen problem? Have they charged you for the repair? Can the spot actually get bigger?
Just to mention, I'm not willing to send my phone to service as of now, since the spot is quite small and it is the only issue I have had with it in 7 months. On the other hand, two of my friends have sent their HOX's to service and received units having more problems than the original ones
If you are talking about flickering of screen, it doesn't depends from an unloacked phone...
You can change rom as many time as you want
If you must send your phone to repair, you don't have any problem because is a manufacturing defect
No he is talking about the small yellow circles that appear from the poorly cured glue. I have 2of these in both the very bottom left and bottom right of screen.
They sometimes are not visible. Sometimes very visible but they never change in size.
If you can live with them i wouldn't worry about then getting bigger. Its very unlikely to happen.
Unlocking the bootloader should not affect your warranty if you have to send it back as its got nothing to do with software

Yes, it is like a disc of about 1 cm diameter which shows a white image as yellow when the phone heats up; it is almost invisible when it hasn't been used for a while.
Thank you for your advice! I was worried it would take over the whole screen when it showed up, as there was nothing wrong for more than 6 months. I looked it up a bit and it seems there is no way to get rid of it
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
Yesterday I dropped my phone while on call from the ear to floor(~6 ft). I think it hit a stone at top right corner near front camera. The screen is shattered and crack propagated from the corner to the entire screen. The frame is also damaged a bit. Even though everything works fine fortunately, using the phone is uncomfortable as I have to strain myself to read.
I wanted to change the display manually and saw some videos. It looks like 'can be done'. But I cant find original LG screen online anywhere. I contacted the service centre and they replied it would cost 7200/- INR (109 US$). I personally opt original screen because of the screen calibration.
What to do? Can you guys suggest something?
Thanks.
I use these guys.

But shipping cost to India is costly. How about this http://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-screen-assembly-for-lg-nexus-5x one.
Can you post a pic of your phone
Hi, I got this OnePlus 3, it had a very slight pink tint in right half and no tint on left (on white screen) so I got it replaced. Now the replacement is even worse,bottom and right side is much more pink than before, only top left side is fine, even on grey, I can see the top left portion is more bright than rest. What to do guys, I'm afraid third replacement will be even worse, I previously owned Nexus 6 and it had only pink tint in low brightness not this kind of uneven hue. Please suggest something.
Well, there's nothing you can do except replacing it ...
It can't be worse every time, you'll run out of bad luck eventually ?

They may not replace the phone. But they should change the screen again.
Go to the one plus service center.. the ones they own and manage.. not the ones outsourced.
Btw, I have a similar issue.. on specific greys, the left side (about half a inch) seems brighter than the right side. Only on greys. All other Colors are just fine.
I took it to the non-company owned service center, the guy there couldn't really tell the difference as much as I noticed, but he agreed that he can try changing the screen. Though I haven't really gone that route yet since the phone is less than a month old. Will wait for some time and see. The color variation is fairly minor and not many people I have shown it to have been able to tell the difference.
Hey everyone
So I sent my HTC 10 to warranty repair earlier this month and they replaced the motherboard and battery and I just got it yesterday. I noticed that there are now some faint horizontal lines near the bottom and top left portions of my LCD, more visible on white backgrounds, but they disappear when I apply force to the screen. I'm guessing this is a result of the heating process they used to open up the phone during the repair where they could maybe used excessive heat and mess up the glue?
Do I have to send it back to them and deal with their abysmal CS again? Did this happen to anyone? Is there a way I could possibly fix this at home? Like with a hairdryer and some force?
Thanks!

As much as it sucks, I would contact them again and I would do it sooner than later. I sent mine in for a screen replacement some time ago, and when I got it back one corner of the panel was not perfectly glued in. I waited a couple months before contacting them again and it was a pain so i decided to live with it since it's not a huge deal.
