[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.

[Q] HTC One X touch screen not working in cold weather.

Simple problem, I live in the UK so the weather isn't exactly brain freezing but at 3 degree Celsius or below the screen just doesn't want to respond AT ALL, the phone is perfectly fine because buttons work and such it's just the touch screen and the touch buttons also the weirdest thing is after restarting the phone when this occurs the screen magically works again however after few minutes of cold weather will disable the touch capabilities. Should I claim on warranty? I really cant be arsed for 2 weeks without my phone, I'm quite addicted to it.
Also I have smashed the screen in the past and had it replaced by HTC if that matters however I can't tell if this issue existed before that because it wasn't exactly cold then. Please give me some good advice?

AW: [Q] HTC One X touch screen not working in cold weather.
What's your job? I mean where do you work? While I was working for an art exhibition, my fingertips skinlayer got really really thick because I did worked with pug
After that, touchscreens didn't respond to my fingers at all

I'm a college student, my finger tips are definitely soft lmao! No that's not the issue because after restarting the phone everything is fine and my hands are rather warm, I actually thought about that and even tried licking the screen, didn't work.

Dude!....never ever lick a screen ! It has more backteria on it than a toilet seat of a highway rest! Anyways, send it back to warranty would be an idea. If it comes to software, you'll most propably get help, but if it comes to hardware, things will get difficult.

Relevant info about licking smartphone screens here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVpkeBYZOrE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And regarding topic: I succesfully used my HOX at minus 22 celsius the other day so plus 3 shouldn't be any issue.
Sent from my One X

I truly don't care, the less bacteria we intake the weaker we are against them
I actually watched that video, I'm subscribed to vsauce
So I should send it off then? Will HTC have any issues with doing this within the warranty? I assume it's their fault I did notice that in the dark the bottom of the screen reveals a little gap where the light from the screen/buttons is shining through, it's not impractical just a little bit annoying and makes it seem like they didn't fit the screen 100% properly also the right edge of the screen seems to be darker, for example if I open something white on the screen it seems as if there was a shadow coming from the right edge of the screen.

Posting an update for future reference. The device has been sent of to HTC on the 18th of Feb and returned today however there was no email or nothing informing me about return of the device, not only that they haven't included any document stating what has been done to the phone if anything has been done at all (except of a hard reset ofc). The gap at the bottom is still there and light shines through it as much as ever, the device came completely dead without any charge what so ever, I have now stuck it in the freezer and after 20 minutes I will check on it to see if my issue still persists, if it does then HTC is just a joke of a company.
At least the haven't charged me... yet. Will post an update.

[Q] Yellow screen burn at bottom of screen

Guys, over the past few days I have noticed at the foot of the screen in the centre there is a yellow line (approx 1 to 2mm thickness) appearing which looks very much like screen burn.
It can only be seen when a lighter colour is present but it is there no matter what you are looking at.
When watching movies it is horrendous as your eyes are constantly drawn to the yellow thick line.
Question being has anyone else noticed this?

Sounds like a faulty panel to me

That's what I am thinking but before I contact Clove tomorrow it would be interesting to hear if this is an isolated case?

Impossible to see if you do a screen grab. The grab would not show the screen burn.
The only way to do it is to take a photo of the G3's screen and I don't have another camera at hand with me this weekend.

No, it's nothing like a dead pixel.
It's more like a yellow stain that progressively gets darker the longer the screen is left on.
I contacted Clove who would send it back to LG for them to look at.
In the meantime if I change the Home a Touch Buttons to Black it covers up the Yellow stain whenever a screen uses the touch buttons.
It's when you are either looking at photos, watching movies or playing games where you don't have touch buttons displayed that you see it.

I have had this on devices in the past, its certainly a faulty screen.

Yes, I definitely agree on that.
Okay I should return it for repair but I would find it murder to be without the phone.
So far it is limited to the area of the touch buttons and like I mention if I change to black you then don't see it a lot of the time.
I'm seeing if I can live with it..........

Just as a warning, when I have had this on devices in the past it is something that gets worse over time, the yellow area will spread, its probably worthwhile getting it fixed now to avoid having it become a bigger problem in the future.
Have you spoke to clove yet? Surely they might just swap it out rather than force you to get a repair?

Yes I spoke with Clove and was quite surprised they would send it back for repair.
At the time I had had the G3 for 18 days.
As such seeing as being without the phone is going to be a nightmare and it's not spreading or getting worse for the time being, I'm mulling over my options.
Fortunately money is not a problem. If it gets that bad I would rather buy another and set up the new G3 in the presence of the faulty G3 then either give the faulty one away to a member of the family which I do with all of my phones and let them decide what to do....

I have the exact same problem. Found this thread googling for it. It's almost right in the bottom center. Looks yellowish and it's driving me nuts. I'll probably hold off exchanging for a while since I cannot afford to go without a phone and have no way to backup everything until someone unlocks the boot loader.

Well, if it's any help to you all I can tell you is it doesn't appear to get any worse.
Yes it's there and more prominant when it gets hotter but it doesn't appear to be spreading or going darker.
At the moment I am still living with it.

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.
Juan

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

LG G3 yellow spot on edge of display!

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my G3. I was so happy when I got it but now it drove me nuts. The display which is supposed to be the selling spot of this phone is not so glorious after all. Although not all users are affected by this I am one of those who are. I noticed a yellow band on the top left side of my screen. As I read online it is glue residue that has protruded through the display. Many people suggest to put it under a UV light but I am not sure if I should do this (the UV light is supposed to dry the glue). I have to mention that I bought the G3 because I had the exact same problem with the G2 in the same place. It looks so ugly and drives me crazy. So I wanted to ask for help from someone over here at XDA who has had the same or similar issue with the G3 or any other phone and is willing to offer me help and guide me through fixing this annoying issue.
Thanks!
I attached photos bellow taken by my other G3 which by the way does not have that problem!

Hello.
I have exactly same issue with my LG G3. :crying: Same kind of yellow spot at exactly same area as it is in your phone. It really is very annoying. Can anyone say if it's possible to fix it some way?
I can't believe that it is caused by my own fault. I read also somewhere that it is some glue which is visible for some reason.

I don't know what to do carrier warranty will not cover this and will say that it is my fault. The only thing we can do I think is either ask LG or make a group complaint since I am sure that there are many more experiencing this problem. I also have it on the G2 and it is even worse it is becoming black blueish. They make excellent panels but their glue sucks. Also drying the phones under UV lights is very expensive that is why they let them air dry which does not solidify the glue and problems like this appear.

I wouldn't put it in the fridge. It is wet and it might damage the internals but since it is -10 here when I am out it is almost gone but it comes back in the same intensity when I enter an enclosed area.
