dropped it from two feet! was in the rugged zero lemon 7500 mAH case :X DOH =/
Might be able to get away with a warranty claim as it's all damaged underneath, just say you didn't drop it or anything

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

I recently replaced my digitizer and my screen is now dodgy ( i can sype but clicking on just about anything doesn't work...) Incidently I ripped a flex cable (i think thats what it is) but im not sure if it is related...
Here is a picture displaying where I ripped my ribon (along the red line):

Would this cause abnormal touchscreen behavior, or did I also ruin my LCD???
Thanks in advance!
You ripped it and things are acting weird? Well there's your problem.

yep - get another part and do it again - DON'T rip it this time
This part is NOT connected to the one I replaced, I am aware of the silly implications, no **** it aint workin son
my question is more if anyone know what this ribbon is specifically for.
thank you
it is broke so better to replace it that ribbon looks to be the one for fingerprint scanner, ear speaker and camera.my earpeice does not work at all and i have dead spots in my digitizer.it would be nice if just replacing that flex would fix it lol.
Well thats what it Should be for, but power, earpeace and camera all work.... I think I may order it and see, pray it is not the LCD that is damaged as the cellphone repair guy suggested it probably is.
I don't know specifically what that triangle is for. Depending on where it's ripped, it could just be a portion of the adhesive. To me this sounds like a digitizer problem and NOT the lcd. I'm under the assumption that if the screen displays clearly, then the lcd has done its portion of the job correctly. So either that rip messed the touch screen up or you could have just done a poor install of the digitizer.
Like he said its nothing with the LCD but with the digitizer.try that new cable and if that doesn't fix it replace the digitizer.

It is really weird.
After a night with my friends at a bar, I remarked the second day that this had happened to my phone. I DO have a case, it did NOT fall and there's no screen protector on. Seems like it's an bubble under the screen! Also, there's no crack on the phone which is really weird.
PS: Being dark outside, I can'T even tell when this happened during the night.

that is strange, did you leave in the sun by any chance before hand? looks like a defected problem on the external surface of the phone are you still under warranty?
Device defect, take it back.
Yeah still under warranty and I didn't leave it under the sun except one time in July! It was in my car and it said phone cannot charge too hot or something like that! But this was a long time ago and I don't think it could be related!

Ah I know exactly what happened.. It's got a skin disease.
I just received this from them today. Don't know what it should mean. Covered by the waranty or not? They're not too clear about it. Anyone?

I would think it would be covered by the warranty, but what does it say about cosmetic stuff? I would make sure to tell them something else is wrong with it that's covered by warranty so you get a new one.
did you hear anything back about this?
I have the same problem and I took it to an AT&T store and the guy there said he had seen it multiple times. He also couldnt give me a new phone then and there.
What did you do to get it fixed/replaced?
I am still under warranty.
To be honest, I didn't try anything yet. Everything involved sending the phone and waiting which I didn't have time to do. Also, they didn't specify nothing about the cost. Everything was going to be determined there. So I'm just going to wait till my finals are over and I'll go directly to the service center and see there. My cell phone company couldn't exchange it for me neither.
PS can you post a pic of your screen? How did it happen in your case?

Does some people have the same problem as I have?
There seems to be something underneath my glass screen. Looks like scratches, but its between the bezel and the beginning of the screen.
Some pictures about my case:

Nothing there if I turn on my screen :
Stuck pixels? Had it happen on my n10. Looked like dust under the glass when the screen was off & couldn't see it when the screen was on. Stuck pixel remover worked for me.

It is not in the screen, it's below the screen. I think there are no pixels there.

Probably a defect in the glass bonding... contact the carrier or LG and see if you can get it replaced. That's what the 1 year warranty is for...
I'm scared to lose my phone for 3 weeks and they say: it's your own fault (it's not, I didn't drop it once) and after that I need to pay the research and transport costs.
And if I want to get it fixed, it will me a lot more!
Going to the carrier shop tomorrow. Let's hear them out.

What model is it and what is your carrier? Most carriers handle this type of return w/o issue.

Looks pretty much undamaged, what a durability! : DDDDDD
The funny part is that the phone still was receiving notifications until the battery was dead and the notification light was still working The lift is weigh about 6000 kg (A big one)
I just realized how much I love my phone Accidents happen - be careful next time

And here I thought when I saw the 'pickup truck running over an Xperia Active' that smartphones are becoming sturdier..
They should change the rolled over test from a truck to a lift
But seriously, 6 tons?? A smartphone would have to be made of diamond or something to withstand that.
Clearly you did not have a screen protector on it... shame on you
The magic question is... are going with the same color?
