So the charging cover of my s5 broke off without any undue application of force. I decided to replace it anyways by taking it to samsung. Their incompetent engineers did something with it, the cover wasn't in stock and I got my s5 with a flickering screen under low light. After 2 weeks they finally managed to fix it.
Now comes the real dealbreaker, my screen has started ghosting, whenever i see something black on my screen while reading a webpage and scroll down, there is a noticeable ghosting effect and all screen becomes blur. It happens with other colours too like red and is more noticeable under low brightness. I am afraid to take it back, dunno what they will damage this time. Has anyone else experienced this? Please help.

I've noticed some slight screen discoloration on my LG G2. The discoloration is about half way down on the left side of the screen. It's a very slight yellow crescent shape of discoloration. It looks similar to the discoloration my iPhone 4 experienced. Has anyone seen this issue with the G2 screens?
I contacted Verizon and they are overnighting me a warranty replacement. They also reached out to LG, who claimed this is not a known issue with the device. I just wanted to make you guys aware, as well as see if anyone else has experienced this. I'm not too familiar with LCD technology, what could be causing this discoloration?
Unfortunately I cannot post pictures because I am a new member, but I wish I was able to show you all what I'm talking about. It is VERY minor, however, I can still see it an it is bothersome to me. I figured I should have it replaced considering it's no charge to me and I don't want it spread... if that's even possible?
I'm starting to question whether or not I want to accept the most likely refurbished phone Verizon is sending me. It seems the yellow has faded slightly, although it becomes more present when the screen is on for longer periods of time. I guess I just have an irrational fear of getting refurbished electronics, like there's going to be something wrong with it or it'll develop problems down the line. I guess I should just take the refurbished phone and call it good enough, this way I don't keep looking for the yellow discoloration every time I use my phone... yea, I'm that neurotic about perfection.
Screen Discoloration
My LG G2 has a similar discoloration, orange in color, on the right edge near the top. I have a replacement on the way.
I don't have a screen protector or a case on my phone. No water/moisture exposure, no drops, no extreme temperatures, etc.
Any idea what might be the cause?
I've got the exact same problem I tried seeing if doing a normal restart of the phone would help which hasn't and it doesn't appear in screenshots and it's also happened recently about 1/2 way down
I'm on my third G2 (in 9 months) with this problem. Few of the staff in the Verizon stores have ever seen or heard of this problem.
I'm probably going to change to a different phone.
Guys, I have a terrible issue with my LG G2's screen. Apparently, it looks like it's gotten some annoying burn-ins, which look like white lines running across the screen. They aren't much of a problem for me, but they have got very annoying in recent time. And, it seems like they are becoming more prominent with time. Here are some pics in order to get a feel of what I'm talking about. Can it be fixed with a display tester app? Please help! This burn-ins are driving me nuts! Didn't pay so much for a flagship handset with screen issues. :crying:
By the way, these burn-ins are most evident on grey backgrounds, as shown in the screenshots with a plain grey wallpaper.

This is very strange.
I was under the impression that LCD screens could not get burn-in.
Maybe what you are experiencing is not burn in.
One of the reasons why i came to this phone because i have had the galaxy s2 with LED display and i got status bar burn in as i have noticed happens to many people with led displays. AMOLED included.
Dont quote me on this but Im pretty sure it must be the reflective foil getting too close or tearing on the back of the LCD at a pressure point. Did your phone LCD take in impacts/heavy pressure or anyoone sit on it?

No, not at all. I take great care of my device. Not once has it fallen, nor be treated with pressure on the screen. Once, my mother happened to sit on my brother's G2, however, but he didn't experience any issues whatsoever. At least no similar burn-ins as on my device.
Weird, get warranty replacement then, still sure its probably the reflective layer, but hard to say what else could cause it to warp, since you say it hasnt suffered any abnormal usage.
I have this problem as well, especially in Hangouts since it's grey in color. Not really a big deal though, as it goes away a few seconds later. Now if it sticks, then that's a problem.

Those weird lines seem to stick. But, I wouldn't want to mess with replacement units, warranty repair etc. If it gets too annoying to handle, my first approach would be the display tester app. Plus, these "burn-ins" are less prominent (almost invisible) in outdoor lighting and do not tend to appear as much (or at all) on different backgrounds than grey.
My screen has been like this since day one. In the pictures you can see brighter back light bleeding from the top center/right, the right middle/bottom, and the bottom center/left. Also, a bit of light shines through the white bezel in the bottom center which now that I notice, won't stop bugging me.
Was hoping it would go away but I got this on Amazon so an exchange would be easy as long as it comes back in stock soon (white 32GB).
Is mine the only one plagued with this? Keep in mind that this is with brightness turned all the way up on a black screen.
Yea I have screen bleed at two spots but it doesn't bother me unless for some reason it starts to expand then it will become an issue.
Most LCD panels, which are backlit, will have some light bleed around the edges. You can return the phone for a different one, but you'll probably have the same issue. It is the nature of backlit LCD panels. AMOLEDs don't have this problem since each pixel has its own light source.
Thanks for the input guys!
I don't seem to have this issue on mine. I can't notice anything like this when I turn on Moto Display. Is there an easy way for me to test this out?
the nature of LCD. one of the reasons I enjoy amoled as well.

I have this screen bleeding too.
I've got my device yesterday and started "Dead Pixel Test", on the black screen i saw the screen-bleeding.
All my previous devices didn't have a screen bleeding, or it wasn't noticeable like that.
Hey guys,
Yesterday night before i went to bed, three blue spots appeared on the screen.
The degree if their appearance depend on the content shown on the screen -
*if viewing bright white light (such as an artical with white background) the spots are nearly invisible
*when darker colors are shown, for example when i pull the statues bar down - the spots are visible and annoying.
*when the screen is completly dark, the blue spots are highly visible

I've never dropped\hit\damaged my phone in any way, i had the case\glass a few days before i even had my phone, and yesterday night those three spots just appeared out of no where - what should i do?
Images not working. I haven't got or seen blue dots on screen before. I would suggest contacting Motorola.

get intouch with Motorola , thats a fault
Does anyone know why this happens? I just happened to me after more than six months of peace.
It's happening to a lot of people. Same with me, and the spots on mine were in the center near the bottom of the display.
Happened to me randomly one month after i got the phone. Had to get replacement from moto. Haven't had problems with new. Been about 8 months. Fingers crossed.
My wife and I each have the same phone her's has had the same blue dot for a month or 2 now: http://i.imgur.com/90U6BMR.jpg
Mine just developed a small white dot in the upper right corner of the screen.
ugh.
I believe these are from pressure against the back of the LCD. After I replaced my screen due to cracks I noticed that I had to play with all 20 screws a lot becasue if even one was too tight it would make a spot on the screen and I had to keep adjusting all the screws slightly, it was like putting a head on an car engine, slightly too tight on one screw would often cause inperceptable torque on the LCD and then a spot would appear above a different screw. Took a lot of adjustment and its still not perfect. From the pictures I'm seeing of the large blue spots and their locations, I'm susupicious something got jarred between the LCD and MB which is very sensitive as I said almoast imperceptable screw torques are enough to cause very similar artifacts (though they could also be just causing some kind of ground issue also, they are dead white with light blue around them, very small becasue the screws are small, and also very particularly pronounced.
So WILD guess is three things:
1 something not sharp or pointed moved somehow and is causing pressure on the back of the lcd directly below the blue spots.maybe those 2 rubber boots that cover two connections (you see them immediately and must remove both when doing anything to the phone after the glued on back is off.
2 LCD Failure
Probably 2 but if you are capable and adventurous check 1. Or ship it if still under warrnaty. Anyone know how long is the warranty? If you buy off of MOTO like I did?
I must be the special one. I have a red dot on mine.
I noticed a vague blue spot in my moto g 2015 today as well. When i press it lightly, the center of the spot turns to a small sharp bright white dot.
I aggree it must be caused by internal pressure. I had the same sort of spot on my HTC Desire. When i replaced the battery, the spot was gone. Turns out a drained/old Li-ion cell expands quite a bit, this caused the pressure from the inside on the screen.
My Moto G is only 6 months old so you wouldn't expect the battery to be faulty yet... Too bad the Moto G doesn't let you replace the battery yourself in an easy way like with my old HTC.
Did anyone experience the spot disappearing after replacing the battery with a fresh one? And does anyone know if old Moto G batteries look thicker than normal after they die?
I just started seeing this about a month ago, mine looks like the Pepsi logo, red and blue orb.
Hey,
I've had my S4 for a few years, it is unrooted and running the stock Touchwhiz rom 5.0.1.
Whenever the devices screen is about to turn off it flickers green, it started a few months ago and was hardly noticeable, but within the past few weeks it has gotten worse. It sometimes flickers while in use, but usually on flickers when the screen is about to turn off. It seems to only effect the lower 4/5ths of the screen.
I have a video, but I'm a new user and XDA wont allow me to post links yet.

If factory reset doesn't solve it then you should prepare for the screen to die at some point. Or maybe it's the GPU. Either way, something's gonna break.
I had something like this after dropping my phone onto a heavy tiled floor. it started with a dead pixel and whenever the screen dimmed before going off the bottom third of the panel would flicker.
eventually a bright green line went thru that dead pixel from the top to the bottom of the screen.
I lived with it like that for over a year until the digitizer started to become unresponsive.
make sure you get a genuine amoled replacement screen when you finally accept the inevitable. I got conned with a cheap knock off LCD replacement display which has terrible terrible contrast and can't cope with shadows...
