[Q] Display problem - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )

Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha

Useless thread...see ya!
too bad it didn't work out for you. but we're happy here so maybe it's not your destiny to enjoy this awesome phone
?????
Maaaaan BS i bricked this phone so many times and put it back to normal FACTORY settings and it still runs silky smooth, and it's the same US T-Mobile HTC HD2
Still on my first HD2, which is running fine, and just the way I like it.
I don't think it's 'dead' at all. Someone come and sat next to me with the new iPhone yesterday, trying to show off. I got mine out (phone lol) and felt instantly better equipped than he did, with his little screen and locked down software.

lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??
I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

[Q] N4 rear flash ring?

Hi there!
i recently bought an N4 and i love it but i was wondering why my rear flash is like the way it is (see pictures). I bought it completely new, or supposedly new, on ebay for around $200... i actually couldnt believe the price haha
any comments as to how to replace it? due to the flash lens/ring it allowed dust in the rear camera which is so annoying.
thanks!
I dont know, but my flash looks completely different. You sure that is a nexus 4 and not some fake stuff?

haha yeah it works perfectly fine though
another thing i noticed was this... i dont know if it's normal either
there's vertical lines when the screen is off and noticeable when caught in the light at certain angles........
i'm starting to think this was a broken phone but refurbished after
the rear flash ring is normal but the bars on the screen is a new one, i have never seen that, its usually a clear screen and you can see the dots from the digitizer from different angles.
maybe the screen has been replaced?

Wow, I've never seen such vertical lines on my n4 before. That is really strange, mate.
Although there are horizontal lines/patterns on the screen. They are conduction medium for the touch screen, but no..never seen such vertical ones...

RMA? Screen / Screen Temp

I feel like maybe I am just too picky but I wont be able to be at ease unless I RMA. What do you guys think?
I have two devices one 32gb (ordered while waiting for my frost 64gb) and my frost that just came today.
Right off the bat I could tell the frost's screen was dull... not bad by any means still vary usable just dull when compared to the other device. The colors didn't "wow" me like the silver 32gb device does.
I feel bad for even worrying about such a little thing. The device works great and if i didn't have the two in hand I probably would have never known the difference.
After comparing the two It is a pretty noticeable difference the colors don't pop on the frost as they do on the other. I have messed with all the brightness/and display settings with no changes.
Ill post pics once I find my camera cord... (shortly) however I am afraid they dont show the differences between the two as well as in person.
EDIT: The one on the left is the Frost and is dull compared to the right

Thanks I think I will... the picture doesn't do it justice! I cant seem to capture how much difference it truly is in person but it will drive me nuts if I just settle. :good:
Wife is going to be so mad haha 3rd phone ... Return the first one (silver 32gb temp phone purchased to hold me over while waiting for my frost) and now have to RMA my frost that just arrived for a replacement.... plus I bought the Moto X pure when it first came out. I pawned that off to her when the nexus 6p came... She will never let me live this one down...
Same here. I just got my 128 GB Frost and the colors seem weak and don't seem to pop for an AMOLED. It looks washed out next to my Note 3 and shouldn't it look more, or at least as saturated/colorful as the Note 3? I even put the 6P into sRGB mode and there's little to no difference. Should I RMA? I just got it, how long does it usually take to get another one from Google?

Those who have S7s already, any hardware quirks/flaws to look out for?

My S7 Edge is coming tomorrow and I'm always paranoid about things like stuck pixels, dead pixels etc. Have any of you noticed anything that would make you want to exchange for another device?
Yeah. My S7 has way too many pixels. [emoji23]

got my s7 last wednesday and i absolutely love it!
no dead pixels, vibrator is strong, buttons work well and are responsive, speaker sounds fine, and the glass front/back are perfectly clear, not a scratch on it. And the Titanium Silver color is beautiful! I really don't want to put a case on it!!
Samsung has never let me down in terms of hardware flaws out-of-the-box.

No issues yet. Only quirk is installing apps. I Cannot find the option to disable "allow Google to regularly scan".

I dont know, maybe the glue or any protection more than normal, see this vĂ­deo bellow, 3:38 second and you will see, all s7 edge have a green tone when have in a white image, for me it's annoying and is why I won't buy that model, I love the edge but this feature/annoying thing for me it's impossible, I constantly see and see the problem.
