Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol. This is by design.
That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.
Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.
Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.
I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all

So, XDA I have an Incredible who's screen has gone AWOL and the phone seems to be stuck in a reboot loop. I have a video of the issue for more clarity.

I've tried taking the phone apart and everything appears to be fine in my eyes. I've attatched some pics I took while the phone was dismantled, maybe you guys can spot something I missed. Any help would be appreciated. The phone is out of warranty btw; I got it used.

might have jumped the gun ripping it all apart as i now need you to put it back together and get a flashlight led preferably what your going to do is shine a light into the lcd when you attempt to turn it back on to see if the screen turns on but the backlight doesnt also slcd or amoled?
if that fails i donno get a new one keep it in a drawer for parts or ebay it for parts...
Thanks I'll try that. As for the screen I'm really not sure if it's SLCD or AMOLED.
On the red part where the battery goes there is a gray label in the upper left corner of that label is ADR6300VW2 or vw3; vw2 is amoled vw3 is slcd. you have it that far apart you could try a new screen as for it bootlooping that could be caused by the screen or the phone could have a bad flash and a broken screen if the screen does come on with out the back light you will just barely be able to see it with a flash light shining into it. Then the solution is simply replace the back light or the whole screen it should then display and you can move onto the next step of recovering the flash from there.
Hum this sounds kinda like some of the symptoms of flashing the amoled ruu to a slcd incredible you could try to flash it to the correct one I don't know if you can use the windows tool from htc or you might have to blind hboot flash it.
Hi, I bought my nexus 7 in 2013, it had Kitkat 4.4.4 for most of its time, I never rooted it.
However about three months back I noticed a strange thing that I could only pull down the notification bar from the very left and right ends of the screen.
Since I was a bit skeptical I did installed a touch screen test app named "Yet Another MultiTouch Test" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt and tested the screen responsiveness, then I found out that a slight strip on the top edge of the tough screen had become unresponsive rest of the screen was fully responsive. For the clear visualization please refer to the following illustration as I didn't took a screen shot at that time.

I didn't consider it as a big issue as it didn't get in the way of using the device.
Eventually I updated to android lollipop and the touch screen issue still existed as same as when the device was on kitkat 4.4.4, but from last couple of weeks my touch screen issue seem to increase over time not full vertical strip has gone unresponsive to touch.
After going through many threads I even took the back cover off and check if the touch screen connectors are intact. The only thing I didn't try was software mods as I doubt that would help me because used this for almost a year without any issue.
I never dropped the device the screen shows no damage or whats so ever.
So I shall be much be thankful if anybody could help me find where the defect is.
Hi all. I just found out my note 10.1 upper left part of the screen is acting weird recently, however I have no idea whats wrong with it.
Here's the thing. if i put my tablet away for some times (with screen off), and then i turn on the screen again, I wont be able to see the 'over-brighten-line" as shown in the attachment. After i turned on the screen for quite sometime (talking about a few minutes, after watching a 3 minutes youtube video perhaps), the line starting to show. Even if i turn the screen brightness to the lowest, it wont be as bright, but it is still visible. IF i turn it off again for some time, it back to normal again. then the process repeats.
Anyone know what's up with that? Can I possibly able to fix that on my own? I don't really want to send it back to Samsung, I mean first, there is no more warranty and second, I had a really bad experience with samsung's warranty services for my previous device here in my country. Or if i leave it that way, does it going to hurt the display panel in any way?
Really hope someone who has the knowledge in this is able to help me out. Thanks in advance.
[Edit]: no, i never let the device run under hot condition. only drop it like once, not from very high tho. I've never torture the device in anyway, most of the time I use it to watch movies, youtube videos etc.
Here's the attachment.

up.
anyone? I need your opinions and help. thanks..
It looks like just light bleed from the backlight. You should review youtube videos on disassembly and specifically screen replacement ones. I don't know if it is possible to fix it yourself without significant effort. IIRC the glass and screen are adhered with adhesive that makes it difficult. I'm not sure if you'd need to separate them to deal with this.
I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?
Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?
Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.
I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!
So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!
Hi, i had a opportunity to compare my LG G4 with another. I've noticed quite another display calibration. My G4 has white color calibrated to warm (yellow) and the second G4 doesnt. How is this even possible?
I cant think of the post but look up on the g3 same problem. Theres some adjustments u can make. It was a known issue on g2 and g3. Mine included. You can change the red green blue. Again i dont know exacts but theres a few post again for the g3
Can you send me samething about that?
It's very normal to have differently calibrated LCD panels. I had 2 LG G4 and both of them had different color tint/temperature. One had warmer colour calibration with yellowish tint another one had cooler colour calibration with bluish tint. Unfortunately unlike Samsung devices and several others the screen colour temperature can't be adjusted so it all comes to personal preference which one you like more. I kept the one with warmer looking screen.
This screen is exactly what I mean.

I agree with the above post device calibrations are always diffrent. Also sometimes just the shear heat off the cpus can tinge the screen yellow some g3 was bad for it
I tried app "Screen balance" and it is working well, so I dont know why producer does not set it to default.
