There is dust/dirt directly on top of my notification light. The dirt is under the screen but on top of the light and it creates a visable spec of dirt in the center whenever the light illuminates. This is my second Verizon LG G2 as my first was defective and plagued with screen touch issues.
Am I being too OCD that I want to exchange the phone because of the dirt? I am still within my return policy.

is it quite noticeable from an average person's view of the phone? like place it on the table and sit back, if the light goes on can you see it? if not, its not worth the drive just for a little dust on the LED, and im sure you wont be staring at it the whole time. However since you made the statement that you ARE OCD, then whatever floats your boat, you could end up with another defective unit since this is your 2nd G2 and the first one is a defective one, so it is a gamble imo.

You tell me if its noticeable. I attached a photo and while it is hard to see, it is the hair like object in the center of the LED indicator.

Imo do what you feel for. You're the one going to use this phone several times a day, not us. If it bothers you the do it. I can barely see it but I don't know how it is and feels in real life.

My friend, you'll be glad I posted. I too have OCD, I too noticed this. I will harzard a guess that every single LG G2 has this issue, it's just that you and I are hyper sensitive and we noticed and decided to spend the energy to post about it.
I would not return your phone unless you have another defect with the phone. The issue with the dust is the design of the phone, so it will re-occur if you're like me and put the phone in your jeans pocket often. The dust is getting under the lens from the top speaker grill area, you'd have to seal this area to make a difference and then you'd be losing sound for phone calls.
How did I cope with my OCD over this? I accepted by studying the design that this is a flaw that will affect all phones. After accepting this, I weighed the pros and cons of this phone against the REALITY that no single phone is without at least 1 issue. The LG G2 destroys all other phones in nearly every single category. This, to me, is enough to let the dust issue slide. Afterall, what is the purpose of the LED? To shine light. And the dust is not affecting this performance.
You will eventually forget about the dust when you truely accept that no phone is perfect. If every phone has a flaw, this is the best one to have, in my opinion.
So, getting another G2 will only delay acceptance, and you'll be pissed off when it happens again. I am going to try using compressed air to blow the dust out from under the LED cover, that may work, I'd try if I were you.
Cheers!
Its noticeable but not bad its not worth taking apart for that small speck of dust

i strongly recommend you to go for service center . coz of its loose fittings lately your light sensors will get effect and you will not b able to disconnect phones once you have dialed a call to someone or want to give a misscall to some one, due to dirt on the light sensor.. .
hope u understand

I exchanged the phone
I exchanged out the phone and the issue has been resolved. The replacement does not have the dirt/dust on top if the notification light. Thanks for not making me feel completely ridiculous for posting thread. Your responses really helped and I am much happier now.

I just read that and looked at mine. The glass is separating in the lower left corner.
Thank God I have 30 days to return.
I love this phone. I can get past the 16 bit resolution. The 30 fps cap is a little hard to swallow. But now this? Sigh..
Nothing wrong with mine.
If you have it, return it for a new one. No need for drama. There is a one year warranty for defects and 30 days risk free from sprint. Pick one or the other.
Most n1's have the same issue. I checked mine when I first got it. You can check if it really is separating by pressing on the corner of the screen and if you hear clicking then you need to use a hair dryer and get the glass hot. Then press down on the screen for 1 to 2 mins. I fixed both of my n1's this way.

Since yours is fine. Does the light leak at the bottom at all? Mine has all 4 buttons leaking but the lower left brighter, since its separation there is more pronounced.

yeah, 1 yr manufaterer's warranty will fix this everytime, no charge to you, so I really would not sweat it . . .
or go pull out your hair dryer
Not having a phone for 2 months while waiting for htc to fix your phone is not going to work for me. Thats why I fixed my n1's myself.
I have this also... Slightly on the bottom corner... ugh. That iPhone is looking better and better.
Same issue here, glass is now raised above the bezel, any idea if they let you keep your sd card when you return the phone, not a big deal if not, but it'd be easier.
when you take a phone to sprint for manufaterer's warranty, they typically do not take your phone from you to repair it, they order in a replacement (typically refurbished) and you keep your phone while awaiting it's arrival. when it comes in to the store, they call you, and you bring your phone in for a swap.
wasn't knocking the blow dryer, I would probably try that before getting a replacement.

It sure does.
This happened to me once with my iPhone 3GS and I pushed it on the left corner like what its happening to the Evo, and it did the EXACT same thing. If not more.
I honestly never find out about these defects until I surf a tech site. Now I'm all paranoid. -_-;
Just like those who had the dust under the glass issue with hero's I'm sure this will be fixed in the upcoming batches.
Hope so anyway.
Checked mine and it seems not to move under pressure, possibly a tiny bit... The light only leaks if I tilt the phone and I stare down under the black towards the buttons, not sure if this is what you guys are referring to as the light leaking. No button shines more than the other either.
Damnit... I guess I'll attempt to have my phone replaced.

This is how mine is too. If i look at the screen from a top down angle i can see light on the displays. I also see i can move the screen a fraction of a millimeter if press down near the 4 home buttons, but i would have never thought it was a defect. Just seems like enough movement for a sensor to feel it or something.
I have access to two Evos and neither one of these are leaking light around the bottom left corner (or any corner). They do give in the corners a little, not anymore than my iPhone 3G, however.
Has anybody actually talked to Sprint or HTC? I want to know what they plan on doing about this. My screen also is coming loose not that much light leakage though. Also the battery cover doesn't snap on tight. I have a Google I/O phone, hardware version 2. I had problematic with the battery but once I changed it to cdma I have had no issues thus far. I hope they(sprint OR HTC) plans on doing something. Also, if you do take it back to Sprint you'll probably get a new. I doubt they have refurbished phones already. And if they did I think that would worry me. Good luck to all having issues. BTW I still love this phone.
WOW everyday an issue comes up on the EVO,what is goin on?
Mine apparently is doing it also I didnt notice it until I looked in the dark. Mines mild right now, but its def coming up...

Dang it!!! mine starting to raise up as well I love this phone and Sprint service but I'm afraid the problem will worsen up as the time passes. I'm not the type to switch devices after every new released and perfer to hang to something until I feel it's not doing what I ask it to (still have HTC Uni, 8525, Treo 750 and Axim x51v).
This and the 30 fps capped is my only main concern about this phone, especially this screen separation (more light leakage or dust problem). The rest of the problem doesn't really bother me much such as the laggy touch input, improperly grounded screen and other problem doesn't apply to my device.
Is it worth the hassel of exchanging it hoping to get one without the screen separation or do they all have this problem? I'm hoping the newer hardware version (version 3) doesn't have this sort of problem, mine is hardware version 2. What you guys think?
I have been noticing more and more light leaking. I thought at first I was maybe just getting paranoid (still possible) but I saw a line about 1.5 cm long along the lower left side last night... That was definitely not there before.
What should I do? Would getting the TEP plan be prudent at this point, to cover this issue if/when it gets worse? Or would be the kind of thing HTC would be more... lenient about replacements?
Think the hairdryer method will work like it did on the Nexus? My nexus had this issue and the hairdryer method fixed it up permanently.

Yeah I actually just tried this and it worked pretty well only a little of leakage left, I figure I'll seal it up some more when I have the time and Im pretty sure I did not hold it down long enough to let it cool effectively. but the parts that are still down work like a charm. way better than having to go back, lose all your apps, headaches of customer service, etc.

So this is the reason I see light under the buttons when their off and the screen is off, and its dark in the room? because my screen seems to be holding up well, and I have it in my pocket all day, no case or screen protectors. then again, I haven't been messing with it, trying to apply things or mods to it.
Hair dryer, bubble gum, tape and what else?! These are high-end devices (Evo Nexus One, etc) and they should NOT need a MacGyver handbook to keep them together after days of ownership. HTC needs to do right by us from the design stage period!
Dear Babies,
This is a site about hacking phones. Stop *****ing and use your brains for a change. Get some black silicon caulk from Lowes. Rub a small small amount in the crack where the buttons meet the case where the light leaks. Congratulations, your phone can now be left in the desert for 10 years and nothing will get through that seam including light... I swear, you guys can spend all day rooting phones but cant use some damn common sense to fix the hardware itself. I had tons of light leakage when i got the phone. Zero now, and you cant tell i did anything to it.

Who isn't going to send their nexus 7 in for exchange / repair ? I would probably have never noticed the screen issue if I wasnt reading the defect threads. I bet if you look hard enough you can find something wrong with anything. Right now the only issue is a slight raise on the left side on mine. There is no light bleed and no dead pixels or ghosting. I feel if I sent mine in and waited for however long it takes I'll get one back where the screen raise is fine and have a new issue like light bleed and dead pixels...

I checked my screws and found that they were loose and tightened them up, screen still barely sits above but solved the creak. I have 3 more weeks to tinker with it, my Gamestop said i can return it once the next batch comes in but if this fixed it i won't exchange it.
Yeah I'm not planning on returning it either. I have seen some videos that have a MAJOR raise on the screen. Mine is just a little bit and can easily be pushed back down if I want to. Other than that the tablet is perfect and I don't want to send it back and maybe get one with more dead pixels (only noticed one but et normal viewing distance I can't see its there) or ghosting or something else.
I do recommend you keep an eye on it and make sure not doesn't get any worse. I doubt it will, however I will be exchanging it if it does.

I think everyone's expectations for a $200 dollar tablet are too high.
I am perfectly happy with mine. I have a little screen raise, but haven't noticed any creaks. I will use it until something significantly better comes out, then i'll spend another 200 to upgrade it.
Phones with comparable specs (albeit a smaller screen) are in the ~$400 range (gnex).
Mine was fine for the first 5 days, but has now started to lift. It sounds like double-sided tape coming unstuck. It's only raised about 0.5mm above the frame on the left hand side though, so I don't intend to return it unless it gets a lot worse, or it begins to affect other things (e.g. dust getting in, or digitiser playing up).
May yet return mine for ghosting, though doing a full discharge of the battery MAY have cured that issue (fingers crossed).

If I only had the slight screen rise I would probably keep it, but I have a creak on the right that is loud and driving me nuts. Sadly, everything else seems perfect - hopefully my next one will be truly flawless...
I'm not. My Nexus 7 looks very well made, and in perfect shape. I've had it for 24 hours.
Is their support 24 hours? I've been busy and finally called. I've been on hold for about 10 minutes and it seems like they're open...
Yea I wasn't going to originally but after the screwdriver fix did nothing, and its basically like a creaky teeter totter on the left and right sides, I decided I should probably RMA. I love the tablet tho. I've used it A LOT since it arrived. It's amazing.
I have a very slight screen raise issue and I have requested to get a replacement, and depending on the condition of the replacement I'll either keep the new 1 or keep the old 1.

You can do that? I just figured Google would force you to ship the first one back, even if the second one was worse...
Keeping mine, no reason to return for such a silly non issue. Doesn't effect the use of the tablet at all.

Same here. My left side of the screen sticks up a tiny bit, I'm waiting for a replacement but if the next one is worse ill just keep this one and try the washer fix or live with it. I still think it's a great tablet, especially for the price. I'll take this over an ipad costing hundreds more any day.

the yellow thing will go after the screen cools down

Dude I have the exact thing wrong with mine. When its hot I get a really ugly yellow ring there too. Rest of the screen is fine but hasn't dissipated in two weeks.
The bad news is that either you play the play store lottery and end up with a worse device or you do the same with lg. I was going to get mine repaired, or rather have the screen replaced by lg rather than get yet another exchange but another person said that lg charged the repair cost and shipped a new phone. I don't know if the replacement is a refurb but it would make sense. The whole point for me with lg doing the warranty repair is to not get a different phone. Everything about my phone is awesome. I think we might have no choice unless you just want to keep it. I was going to but the ring drives me nuts. It is very visible in a sea of white.

it is hard to ignore the problem , the device is fantastic
but what is that yellow spot
is it glue ?
how does glue reached the middle of the screen :silly:
Well the whole screen is glued to the touchscreen. The glue is thicker in that area because of the deformation in the glass. The person or robot pushed too hard when the panel was installed or glued and thus it dried unevenly. I got an order in for yet another RMA but the situation really pisses me off. My last is faster binned, perfect speaker and battery and everything else. Hardly any rattle, etc. When the RMA replacement ships I'm still going to call the lg warranty number and see if there's an option to replace my actual screen rather than getting a replacement. I seriously doubt they will scrutinize a device, even one they have repaired through refurbishment, as much as an anal retentive owner like myself will. I'll let you know if I find anything out. Knowing my abysmal record with the play store, my next will be worse than this one.

Hey Guys,
I noticed something strange with my phone this morning and it has gotten progressively worse throughout the day. Has anyone encountered something like this? Originally this started off with a large set of vertical green pixels (as seen in the first picture). Then a further degrading of this with purple blotches as seen in the 2nd pic, and I'm pretty sure my display is dead now as I can swipe up and feel the haptic feedback but can't see anything on the screen.

Hello definitely a hardware issue. At least I already seen this before and the screen was dead. My wife used to have an LG G2 and it displayed those weird purple smudges all over the screen after one of our daughter crushed it walking on the device.
Do you eventually sit on chairs with your phone in your back pocket?
Good luck...

Bought it for $400 in Jan 2016 when it was 3-4 months old since someone didn't know how to bypass the Google Factory reset lock. Most other 128GB were going for $650+ at the time. Ebay/ Swappa would have ended up in the same place regardless. I don't blame Ebay for this experience but I have not bought many phones from them regardless. At least 6+ purchases on Swappa and all have been great. Taking to my local repair guy who I trust very much who quoted me for $195 to do the work and replace the board which is worth it to me.

Hello definitely a hardware issue. At least I already seen this before and the screen was dead. My wife used to have an LG G2 and it displayed those weird purple smudges all over the screen after one of our daughter crushed it walking on the device.
Do you eventually sit on chairs with your phone in your back pocket?
Good luck...

This ironically has been in a Supcase Unicorn Beetle case since day 1. I am guessing that the phone being on the larger side of my front right pocket definitely has pressure put on it which likely caused this.
