So, my nexus is 2,5 years old. Since half a year ago it got wet in the rain (while in my pocket). When I got home and checked the phone, it had a vertical white line on its display. I also had charging issues, but that was solved rather quickly. without me doing anything. But the white line was still there. For about 2 or 3 months the white line was disappearing and coming back occasionally. But after a few months the line was there permanently. I think it's one defect LED of the display or something. But the particular white line is brighter than the highster screen brightness.
When my screen is on, the line is there, but when I shut off the display, it disappears.
Anyway. What is this and is there anything I can do to solve the problem WITHOUT letting the screen get repaired completely (as that would be a huge waste of money for a 2,5 y.o. phone)?
Here's a picture for clarification.

Doesn't look like a software problem.
so replacing the display is your only shot.

Here's the story:
I bought my HOX (Indian, International, SH24 batch) close to 6 months ago (continue reading before saying it won't be replaced). I checked and tested everything according to the guide as soon as I could and it only showed a little bit of screen flex on the upper left corner, but I didn't say anything because I could live with that (I'm not that picky). Then, after some time I found out that the back of the device had a small bump near the camera lens, and by looking it up on xda I found out that it might be the battery expanding and we all know what could follow to that. Recently, I found that the screen has two vertical lines that are noticeable on grey backgrounds. These lines are not dead or burnt pixels, it seems as if the backlight was uneven and those lines were a lighter color than the rest of the screen.
Now, here is where I start to wonder the topic title.
If they were to repair it and assuming that that's the only damage and no other parts are involved, they would need to replace at least the back cover, the screen and the battery. Considering the only part that seems to be perfect is the motherboard, and that the rest needs replacement, is it possible to get a replacement unit instead of going through the whole hassle and wait of getting the repair done?
Started something like a week ago (don't remember precisely). It's not that big (like 0.8cm) and is visible only when there is a light background (when you're browsing for example) it's not that bad but is really annoing considering that I've bought it 5 moths ago. I read of similar problems on nexus 4 (which has the same screen that we have) , on Htc One x , on Iphone 4 /4s and Sony's xperias as well. Someone says that the problems is the poor manufacturing process of the LCD display (principally the glue between the LCD screen and the gorilla glass). I think i'm going to take it to assistance only that it takes a lot here in Italy (like 30 days, not considering we're in august). So I was hoping for an advice. Wait and see if the spot goes away or take it directly to assistance?

EDIT: Someone please move this post to troubleshooting, this is between my first posts on this forum, sorry.
Hello,
I have an issue with my T325, I have a white light bleed spot that is visible only on white or light pages between the two slim slots (in the middle of the screen but a bit to left). They are not dead pixels, many cheap phones have such a brighter spot.
I bought the tablet brand new 5 months ago, I have warranty for one and a half more years but it takes half a month or more until they see, repair and return the device if I send it in. (I haven't paid for premium service)
The spot appeared about 3 months ago but I told myself that I will not change my otherwise perfect screen for a brighter 0.3cm white spot even if it's a little annoying sometimes ( I had already exchanged two tablets until I got one without dead pixels or dirt inside the screen). I haven't dropped, pushed the screen on that point or did anything that could have damaged it.
However, at the beginning of this month i wiped my screen with a cloth that had something very hard on it and I didn't see and managed to get a deep 1 cm scratch (I can actually hook my nail in it) exactly in the middle of my screen and I didn't have a screen protector (who needs one on a tablet ? ). I am thinking on convincing somehow the service to change the screen because of the light bleeding. The two issues are unrelated, there is only one scratch on the screen clearly from a swiping motion.
Does anyone have an idea on whether the screen is defective or there is some strain in that point ?
Did anyone have a similar issue and managed to solve it ? Should I try sending it in ?
Hello everyone
I bought an LG G4 last week and it had a clearly visible mesh pattern on the screen. It was most visible on white bright backgrounds. It was uniform over the whole screen. The funny part is you could also see it when the screen was off and there was a bright light shining on it.
I had it traded in at the shop and they agreed that it was a defect so they traded it in for another G4. This one has it too, but it's much less visible.
I have seen that the display models do not have this mesh thing at all even on the brightest setting. Some do some don't.
Does anyone else here see it? I have a serial number that starts with 511 if that matters.
I also have this problem. I have to see some display units because it may be the way that pixels are arranged. It those dispaly units are ok I am going to get a replacement.
I got the Tab S4 a week ago and have been impressed with everything about it - screen, camera, excellent tablet.
Anyway - I am at work today and turned on the tablet only to find a Bright Green line exactly halfway down the screen (in portrait view) can't get rid of it -
I haven't dropped the tablet or treated it roughly or done anything could have caused this. I put on a glass screen protector yesterday - but didn't even have to push hard on the screen to get rid of bubbles or anything. It was an easy install - and the screen looked great. BUT this morning - with a bright green line thru the screen - well, it doesn't look so great any more.
Taking it back to Best buy today - just wondered if any one else had a similar problem?
EDIT -I was going to get a screen shot of the Green Line (if I could) and when I powered the tablet back on the Green light flickered and then went away. So now there is no green line there. = turned on again - and green line is back.
one other think I noticed - when the green line went a way, I noticed there was a SINGLE very small red pixel in the middle of the screen - when the green line went away, the red pixel was present - a tiny little dot of red - but when the green line came back - the red pixel went away. (by the way - the red pixel is in a different location of the screen than the green line.
This is a known problem with amoled screens. You've got a dud. Get a replacement. Even the iPhone X had some reports of it
Line on screen
I have the Galaxy tab S4 also and I have the line halfway down the screen too. I have to send it to Samsung to get fixed. I took such great care of it. I even put the rubber tpu case on with gloves to avoid leaving finger prints on the gorgeous glass back. This sucks. The LTE version is like 800 bux!
Yeah, sounds like you got a faulty unit. Just take it back to the retailer for a replacement or take it into the Samsung Service Center for repairs.
