Replacement screen quality and sources - ONE General

Hey guys / gals,
My OnePlus story is a long one so I'll keep it short. I've replaced the screen on my OnePlus One 4 times. The first time was about a year ago when I dropped it after drinking lots of scotch, since then I've busted the screen in a variety of ways.
First time I busted the screen Oneplus quoted me $163 for repair.
Anyhow I've been ordering my replacement screens from Ebay and Aliexpress. My experience is less than great, shipping time is over a month, although the cost is generally less than 35-40 dollars, and a couple have been in the neighborhood of $25.
This last time I had to replace my screen I got one where the digitizer acts up randomly. I have show touches enabled, frankly because I like the little white circle chasing my thumb around but it also has practical purposes too; like showing me when my screen is having a seizure. My theory with the current screen (the moody one) is that the ribbon cable is slightly too long and it's either causing a pinch or the connector gets knocked out of place ever so slightly. I'll see 8-10 of the little white touch circles dancing around at the bottom of my screen sometimes, and other times my screen has very fragmented response and will only pickup tiny quick touches, no gestures or swipes.
My method for testing the screen after installing is using snapchat

So my question to you is where do you source your screens from? How do you rate the quality when compared to the original screen? What cost is reasonable to you?
Thanks folks!
Sincerely,
The guy who can't have nice things.

Does the touchscreen still function with that crack in it? I have had 3 Moguls, none have been dropped or abused, all look(ed) cosmetically perfect. The first two had had broken usb ports, one had a failing keyboard, all have the dreaded white spot. My latest is already showing ominous signs with a button back light stuck on and the usb port becoming very touchy. Maybe I should be beating the piss out of them?
yes the touch screen still does work but its a bit stiff and really hard to use i offered to open it up and switch the screens out for her (ive opened up my dads and replaced the screen) but i couldnt find the new screen i bought.
ive had my mogul for about 3 months after it replced my i760 and i have the white spot on my screen and the usb port is already touch and i havent even dropped it once. I would be pissed if i had dropped it.
have dropped mine many times. work in mills as a welder/millright and have it on my 24/7, in dusty, ashy, humid heat, grinding dust, hot slag, metal dust/shavings and all. have dropped it in the snow, dog has stepped on it many times... all that is wrong is the center button on the dpad dont work and a light spot about 1/8" around in the bottom corner area. i think the manufactures warranty should cover it huh? haha if not i made sure to get insurane

Screen response problems

My mom's G2 got the 2.3 OTA a week or so ago (maybe two weeks), and ever since then she's been complaining to me about her touchscreen being unresponsive.
I downloaded an app onto her phone called "Touch Test" which displays the points of response of the screen, and well, take a look at the rough re-creation in the screenshots below:
When you draw a line like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This happens:
This is a semi-accurate recreation, but what actually happens is when you draw the line from the top (like say scrolling through something) to the area where the dot is on screenshot 1, the screen registers 4 other "touches" at random locations in that bottom part of the screen (screenshot 2).
At that point, the entire screen except the top half becomes unresponsive, including the capacitive home/menu/back/search buttons, and the only way to bring it back is to lock the screen with the power button and unlock it. The screen then works fine till you scroll again.
I'll try and upload a video of it later this afternoon.
Anybody else seen behavior like this before?
My phone did that to and I had to have it replaced. Something to do with a faulty sensor. Its a known manufacturer defect.

My mom took it to the store today, guy looked at it (luckily, the screen had froze just as we walked in, as she was using it) and said "welp, it's broken. $20 warranty exchange, ships today, 3-5 biz days. have a good day" and now there's a replacement on the way.

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen Issues - About to rip my hair out

Is there any sure fire way of resolving the Nexus 7 screen lift?
On past devices, I have tried the tightening the screws, using "make-shift washers", removing foam, etc. I am not willing to glue the screen to the bezel.
Is there a 100% Concrete resolution for this? The device that this was replacing was having touch input issues, but had NO screen lift. Honestly, this is beginning to frustrate me. I am appalled at the QC issues coming from these devices. For those that think people just ***** for no reason, and then suggest Apple, please don't. All other android devices I have received, I have never generally had any defaults (unless it was software which was fixable), which is why I am really disappointed with this. This is the fourth device I am on:
1st had screen lift
2nd had speed io, lag, and force close issues
3rd was fine for a week, and then I was getting touch input issues and the device was typing and launching applications on it's own
4th (current) has screen lift
Seriously, is there any sure fire way to fix it? Just for clarification, I just received this today, and opened it up less than 4 hours ago.
Some pictures (was unable to upload the pictures to XDA for whatever reason, kept getting complaints about a security token)

Really? Pull your hair out?
OMG
You have like a fraction of lift.
Go get your money back and buy your girl a nice dinner or a camera class (same price).
Some of you people amaze me.
send it back in, ask for a c9ok as replacement..

[Q] LG G2 D802 [Issue] Screen loose at bottom right

Hello
- Advice requested
I have had my G2 D802 bought in Europe, Sweden, for a couple of months now and right from the start I have been taking care of it;
Back and front screen protector applied (thin plastic one, great acctually)...
Now, in the end of January 2014, I yesterday noticed a thin ray of light coming from "inside" the screen and shining out between the touch sensitive display and the edges (bezel?) of the device.

These images are all focused on the thin light escaping from the side of the display.
It is a opening as thin as a single piece of hair.
- What would you recommend?
Please leave a comment or just vote in the embedded poll at the top.
The images are grainy, yes, but all show the light comming out.
Return, replace

Well, I flashed stock and got a service ticket for a warranty repair.
It took 35 minutes for them to give my device a new screen.
All is good. I'm happy.

Same has happened with mine a few months after purchase! Mine is a Carrier device so i think they will replace it ok. I hope this isn't an ongoing things with G2's!
Same here. Same place
Same here, can I glue it with an easy method?
Without disassembling the whole phone.

stain in bottom of the screen

Hi,
I recently noticed a mark on the screen. It's only visible with light colours (especially white, with black the mark is not visible at all).

I did not find any similar case on the forum or the internet.
It looks like when AMOLED display are burned (like in JerryRigEverything videos).
But, it's LCD panel here...
From this video https://youtu.be/zuq2uPAEmeM?t=211 , the mark seems to be at the same level than this "copper bottom circle" :

Any idea ?
I've got a very similar 'stain' that is most noticable on a white background but never looked in to why it is so would be interested to find out what it is too! Not that it bothers me much and in fact apart from that it's an A grade phone as no scratches etc but as it had the stain it was reduced to C grade price so I only paid £90 for it which was a bargain!
I think the stain is glue and the spot on screen is caused by pressure. Hotspits can also cause such effects.
There were flat tvs, where the heat of the two SoCs on the mainboard (the second one was necessary for motion compensation, in single core days) would cause two squares appear on screen after the tv had warmed up.
I've just noticed a very similar stain in the same position in my LG G6. Lucky enough the two years warranty ends in two weeks haha, so it's already at the store and I hope they get it fixed soon.
