Help, black 'liquid' spots, what to do

Hi Guys,
This morning I suddenly noticed black 'liquid' spots 'behind' my screen. The screen stills works perfectly, but not sure what to do with these spots.
Should I bring it in for repair (reflashing to original ROM, etc)?
These are spots like we used to see on LCD screens, if you press the screen, they get bigger. If I take out the battery and press from the inside, the spots move as well. I reckon there is some pressure build up in the device and would like to open it myself, but that would void the warrenty of course.
Attached 2 photos, 1 with screen off (clearly visable) and 1 with screen on (not really bothersome).
anybody seen this before?

ink bleeding, u should get it to repair asap, lcd is messsed up
My mistake, the other members are right, I am sorry as I could not see your pictures correctly because I was browsing with my hd2.... it is not ink bleeding, for that, you have to have the lcd broken..... anyway, I am glad is not bleeding, now, lets learn from the other members.... cheers..

There are quite a few threads with people having the same issue, I don't believe it's bleeding like suggested above, it is the layers of the screen sticking together. I had the same problem on my old LG Viewty about three years ago - sometimes it goes away on it's own (when the phone gets hot for example) and sometimes you need to get a replacement. If it's new I suggest you speak to either your provider or HTC.

Use a suction cup to carefully pull the screen a little bit and it should disappear.

Same thing happened to me, and few other members... Have a look here.

Thanks for the quick response guys!
Yep, it's exactly what happened in thread mentioned
(did some searching but couldn't find it before)
the suction cup idea might be a good one, will check it out and let you know. If I can solve it myself it would be much better than sending it in.
thanks!

(newton ring ) this is dueto great pressure happened on the screen if not fixed in short time the screeen will be corrubted .
note; (it is not covered by warranty)

Nope, in my case no pressure whatsoever. It just happened overnight. If it would be pressure, it would be from a faulty manufacturing and elements of the device not fitting well.
Just read the whole case in the other thread, I think I am in for some treat.
Will start with calling my dealer, which is Vodafone Spain.

mab be it would be from a faulty manufacturing but fix it fast before the screen corrubts from over pressure as this happened on hd1 and they did not want to fix it under warranty

If this happened to me and I couldn't get rid of it, I would go ballistic if HTC claimed it wasn't covered by the warranty. What a total piss take.

i can understand the newton ring effect on resistive screens, but on capacitive screens using glass - i find it hard to believe.

Yes, ardsar. My thougths exactly.
I had Newton rings on my touch hd. And I was informed that that is imposible on capacative screen because it is made of hard material, top layer cannot fall on the lower one.

Whatever it is, I hope it's not a recurring issue. In my thread three HD2 had that issue, and now another one...

Exactly Lukass, I hope this is just coincidence.
I just reflashed the original ROM and will take it this afternoon. In the end I decided not to try to get rid of it myself, since it is now plain visible. And I only had it for 2 weeks, so of it goes.
Let's see what they say.

I had this, repaired by repair service under warranty. The report said it was newton ring.

well, I just brought it in, estimated return is 11th March, let's hope that it will be quicker!
cheers!

Yes it is a newton ring caused by pressure perhaps if you keep the phone in the trouser pocket which is tight.I had the same but as repaired under warranty in 2 days.

Be careful not put to much pressure when putting the battery in, since its a very thin layer between the battery and the LCD. I think this can cause the LCD come in contact with the digitizer if you are not careful.

propably heating issue
has anyone got the idea that this may have been caused by heat? maybe when the internal components of the phone heats up this causes the gap (spot) on the screen. can anyone confirm what is behind the spot? is it the processor? i've got this idea because before switching to hd2 i was using SE xperia x1 and maybe most of you are aware of the cracking issues of the silver casing. well according to my local SE representative this cracking was caused by heating when using wifi. it was covered by warranty since it's a manufacturing defect. HD2 also heats up when using wifi and maybe thats what causing this problem. well its just my idea. feel free to share yours.

i had the exactly the same problem, and fixed it!!!! what i did was to heat it up with a hair dryer while it was on charge(this causes the battery to heat up as well) the spot started to shrink slowly took around 2 hours, but it didnt solve my problem total, as when it cools down the spot would comeback but not as large as b4. so getting pissed of with it i put it on charge from my laptop and placed my hd2 behind the air vent of my laptop(where the heat escapes) and continued working, i forgot my phone was there for about 5-8 hours. when i remembered it was there i moved it, whole phone was very hot not so hot that i couldn't hold it but hot enough. the spot had gone totally. but i thought it would comeback when cooled, so i decided to cool it slowly placing it back behind my laptop but moving it further away at 10 min intervals until it was around a foot a half away from the heat. i now have my hd2 working fine. with no spots.... my theory on this is that the liquid had been pushed else where within the phone as i couldn't see any liquid seeping from the phone so by heating the whole phone wherever the liquid was it thinned and cover the spot but upon cooling it would compress again dont quite understand how i worked around that but it worked

[Q] LG G2 screen problem - yellow spots

After two months of use I suddenly discovered yellow spots on display, which can be seen in the light background.
Do you have any idea what can I do with it?

I have the same problem, I'm going to send it away, I still have warranty, I hope they'll fix it soon.
I just hate this...

I have the exact same issue in the exact same spot. I'm still under warranty, thing is I rooted my phone, went back to original room which was suppose to unroot my phone but when I go to the isis app, it says this is a rooted phone blah blah, so I'm scared I'm going to get an out of warranty fee. Tf do I do?

I read that some tablets have the same problems which are caused by the adhesive under the display. Turning on for some hours the display at full brightness can help in this situation. But I only know abaut this problem abaout new tablets. You have the problem with an few month old mobile...

Yellow Spot no garantee??
Same here,
Yellow spots in the middle after a few minutes use. The spot gets bigger after intensive use and there is a small faint yellow line going from the spot to the bottom of the phone.
Went back to the shop with it, waited 4 weeks just to learn that LG does NOT think this is a fault of theirs so no garantee!!! My vendor is contacting them to find out what exactly makes them think this a is not a production flaw.
I'm gonna try and send it back to them anyway. This time i'll say its an overheating cpu in the description.
I had nothing but trouble with this LG phone. So if you'r planning to buy one I hope you read my posts before making a decission.
I'll keep you posted

I got mine changed with a new one, after they tried to change the display and it didn't work. So, I suggest you to insist.
Good luck!

I have the exact same problem. Yellow line on the top right of the screen. Looks just like your photos. I think it got there after some of the updates, the phone started to get really warm. Could it be some kind of burn? Melted glue? Guess I will have to take it to the shop, but not looking forward having it in the shop for a couple of weeks or more. Really annoying screen problem though.

The yellow line issue has occurred on other devices. On the Surface pro it develops due to heat damaging the screen, you'll need to have yours replaced.

Yeah, will repair it later on, need it too much right now.

Hi guys, just have this yellow spots when my phone is warm while playing COC, just notice it when I opened new tab in google chrome. Then what I did is I power off the phone and fan it then power on, the yellow spots disappeared. Should I replace it? Or should throw my happiness?

Hwy guys, FYI, we've established in another forum that it's the glue from (probably) only the first batch. Since then (probably) LG has started using better glue for the screen and thus no yellow spots. When it gets warm it gets yellower, when cold, it's back to uncolored.

Would they replace my G2 if I have this problem?

Hi All,
I am planning to buy LG G2 D802 for $399 with 7days replacement option & one yr international warranty.
I saw various complains regarding screen damage after few weeks/months use.
As the warranty claim is expensive & hard for me, due to non availability of LG service center in my country.
Please suggest me, whether I buy it or not?

LG G3 yellow spots
I have a new LG G3.
I recently noticed a yellow streak parallel with the shorter power connection side of the phone, quite visible when the background color is supposed to be white. If it's a glue issue, they've not upgraded the glue to prevent the problem.
I now do believe that it's an issue when the phone gets fairly warm. After coming into a cool air conditioned office and waiting a few minutes, the streak goes away (if I'm not constantly using the phone). You'd think they'd figure out how to avoid the problem. Someone's not doing enough homework, or they just don't consider the issue that important.

They did replace mine, I specifically stated it as an "overheating problem". Had to get back to stock before returning it, such a hassle to do so .

Did they replace the G2 only or the whole package? My charger cable is a bit damaged. :/

Just the phone, but I think that's up to your carrier.

I had a yellow spot show up far left middle of screen when the phone got real hot and now its at the top of the screen to the left. But its only there if the phone gets real hot. I also have garbage gps locking that loses signal a lot. But im affraid of rmaing and getting someone else's issues instead lol.

so there is some thing we can do?

Swollen battery problem

Hello,
I have some battery problem. In the last couple of weeks my phone battery lost capacity. Today morning I find my glass foil broken across. Both diplays are hunchbacked. I am afraid they will break in half.
Have you ever met this one? Do you have any experience in this regard? Any advice?
Where should I buy a new battery? How long can I Use this swollen battery without damaging my phone?
(I can't attach any picture because of xda rules. I will try attach in comment.)
Thanks for the help!

Hello Btrabi,
i had the same problem. both screens were curved but without any crack.
but the accu burst the case on the small side just around. NO more live inside. No response to USB or buttons.
as i still had warranty i opened i ticket and send it to china.
for 2 month we had permanent mail exchange - they told me that it was smashed physicaly from outside. to shorten the story i had to pay 70 € for repair (but they just changed it).
i asume the phone gets to hot and burn down from inside. i've tried to build a governor to slow down CPU when hot.....
If someone have a good idea or solution please post it here.
thanks

Hello vombruch,
My phone working well after that, just slowed down a little bit. Now I ordered a new battery from china (from aliexpress). When it arrives, I will change it myself. I don't trust chinese service, I trust myself
Against heating I use "no-frills cpu" app. You have to root your phone to this app, but it's very useful: you can limit your CPU speed. -> less performance (still enough for everyday use), less heat!
I hope it was helpful.

hey,
i'm rooted. i tried "CPU Regulierer" because i wanted to have full CPU speed when cold and slow down when hot.
i bet it must be possible to take the linux governaner to controll speed by temperature.
no amdroid without root (

Swollen battery, how to change it?

Hi everyone, I've had this phone since the day it was released and it has never failed on me, and I've always charged it correctly not usin it while charging and not overchargin it and never letting it die from battery low
Anyways, recently I have noticed that the back of the phone is slightly bulging up, it's still veeery slightly and to be sure im not mistaken, i put ut on a flat surface and saw that the phone is standing on the center of its back. Where XPERIA is printed.
Is there a way i could change the battery myself at home? Or is it even easy to be done by a repair shop or not? There arent any Sony support centers in my country.
Btw, I havent noticed any changes to the routin batterylife of my device

Assuming you can get access to the battery, when you get the battery out you will notice the plastic skin around the battery is bulging. Use a pin an pop it, then the gas stuck insde will escape. Then put back in your phone and your done.
I did this for my Xperia Z. No issues... good as new now.

i will try to do it, hopefully not exploding my phone or hand
the reason why im hesitating is that Ive heard that the NFC will most likely get damaged when trying to change battery

Help me diagnose please 🙂

Hi all , I wonder if anyone can help me here with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
If I allow the battery to completely drain (by leaving it turned off and not using it) and then I plug the charger in, the screen is obviously faulty because it flickers, Samsung logo is ghosting, screen is all green or white etc.
But after this load sequence it is then followed by a completely black screen and responds to nothing not even connecting to a PC.
I can only get the screen to light up again as above if the battery is completely drained and it is then plugged into the charger.
I was originally aware the screen was faulty but now it seems to have a problem booting up - so my question is, would the forum agree that the motherboard is likely toast and then in that case, is it worth the repair (either by myself or shop).
If it is not worth the repair, is it possible to access the files to extract personal info/photos/videos etc?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated, thanking you in advance

Is the battery known good?
Lol, maybe you left it sit too long...
It takes a fair amount of current to boot.
Without boot the only hope of data recovery is a data recovery service.

Hi, yes I replaced the battery as that was my first thought. But it was just the same after that.
I just don't want to fit a LCD screen and find out its knackered anyway lol

I guess throw a LCD at it as they are cheap.
May not be the mobo. It's a crap shoot...

Unfortunately the edge screens are still around £100. I could keep my eye out for a cheap second hand one that at least has a working screen I guess.

Probably better if you bought a working phone if you like it a lot; a parts queen comes in handy.
A used N10+ be a lot faster but is better if it was loaded with 9 or 10 rather than 11 or higher. These phones can be very long lived and they can be had at a reasonable cost now.

Yah, I guess
