Is this backlight bleed normal? I just got my warrant exchange and want to know if I should exchange it agian.
Mine looks exactly the same.
thank you. i am at ease now .
i had to actually look at my phone, exact same, i think its just the viewing angle your phone was at. ive had this for a month and never once noticed that.
Mine is the same. I read some weeks ago one person kept returning their phone, and eventually got one with no bleed at top or bottom of screen. Personally I don't see it as an issue, but some people want it perfect, so I guess if anyone can put up with several phone exchanges till they get the exact phone they want, go for it!
You won't notice it unless you really look for it at an angle. It don't notice it when I'm looking at the screen straight on. It isn't much of an issue to me.
We're all the same....
Anybody else have this odd screen glitch anywhere on their display. Its like half a second white flash once in a while when I'm on Tapatalk, or the Amazon app or other apps.
Maybe its a bad display of my G4 or a 5.1 bug?
Edit....
I've since replaced my G4 with another new one with zero issues.
Should of added more to the poll, but my G4 is with TMO USA. Maybe the glitch is carrier independent.
Ever figure out the cause? I'm debating returning the phone
I saw this today on an H815 unlocked model on display at Best Buy. Only saw it when looking at a particular photo with a bunch of horizontal lines on it.

I think a software update should fix this or apps updated to support LP 5.1. I've only seen the glitch when I'm using an app, never on home page, or dialer, etc.
Hopefully its not a display defect.

Odd...
Nothing as described on my TMO variant.
could it be because the phone is in game mode which is a battery saving mode.
Here's the image I saw this problem on yesterday. Download it to your device, open it in the LG gallery app, and in portrait orientation, double tap the image to zoom in a bit. I saw the flickering on the stairs in the picture.

Nope.. mine seems fine..
Am I supposed to scroll around really quickly while zoomed in or something?
Just picked up my white Verizon g4 last night, haven't noticed this problem
Today on an international version, while using internet app to read this site, the screen gently faded really white, then a few seconds later faded back to normal again. It continued like this for prob 30 seconds. Leaving the app didn't help, but getting some black colour on the screen stopped it. No idea why it was happening... Something iffy with the display and maybe power saving though. Nervy now!

No, it happens while you are not moving the image or touching the screen at all. Might not work with that exact image I linked because the image on the device, while the same picture, was at a higher resolution I believe.
edit: I'll go back to the Best Buy today and film the issue so people can see what we're talking about.
Well only 3 people with this glitch? Maybe we have a defective display! I have 14 days to exchange it for another new one.
If your having this problem, please do the poll. Thanks

I suspect all have it, but it's hard to trigger. After I get a video of it at Best Buy, I plan to go around to some other stores like AT&T and see if the demo units there also have it.
Well crap. It was less noticeable on the G4 at Best Buy today. I could just barely see the flickering with my eyes, and it was impossible to capture on camera, at least without a tripod.

But you did see the flicker. I've noticed it could be a super fast flicker barily noticilbe to a 2 second square section looking like a static tv like on the movie poltergeist.
Yeah it's really quick, too quick to get a screenshot. It's mainly on scrollable apps. Just a thought, anyone using nova launcher? Maybe it's an artifact
TMO G4 here and I get a screen glitch occasionally. I can't consistently recreate it. It happens for a split second. The screen static affects about a quarter of the screen.

mine does that 2 could it be the kernel needs to be optimized a little better. Its like its underclocked to far or something. When I try to underclock and undervolt my nexus 6 i get similar issues. i bet they will be able to fix it with a kernel update im gonna go ahead and exchange it out
My personal G4 arrived yesterday and so far, after using it for about 7 hours screen time, I have not seen this issue. I know what the issue looks like too because I saw it clearly on a model at Best Buy. So maybe it is a defect in some models? Or maybe it only affects some firmware, because I doubt the Best Buy model is running the same firmware as mine, which is from Asia.
Hello,
I have a Moto X Style.
Just a few hours ago started seeing a white very thin vertical line in the middle of the screen that goes from top to the bottom.
Didn't do anything special with the phone, scrolling facebook... just turned off the screen, and then turned it on and voila... it's there
The line is most noticeable in bright blue screen. Tried to take a picture of it, but doesn't have good camera so it isn't noticeable in pictures. Also it doesn't shows on screenshots and it appears even in recovery so it's definitely hardware...
The phone is only 3 months old... But I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted so I think the warranty is void...
Does anyone have/had some expirience with this and can help me?
Or the only way is to pay for a repair?
Thanks in advance...

If no physical damage moto will repair unlocked phones that have hardware failure. Best to get a ticket started and get some help over in their forums. Advanced swap is best even if it costs a couple bucks.

Anyway, yesterday happened another strange thing. I was taking pictures with the camera, then noticed that all the screen covered with white horizontal lines half transparent as if it is some sort of interference.. Restarted the phone and the lines disappeared, but also the vertical line got much thinner. You need to search for it really hard to find it. So maybe it was stuck pixels or something? I don't know
So it leads me to confusion. Either i leave it as it is as the problem is barely there, but then I'm afraid it will come back later, or i talk to Motorola, but then how am i gonna prove them if they won't find the line?
Thanks

I would discuss it with them regardless. If you still see the problem then they should be able to as well. Be persistent and very detailed about the problem. If you can get photos magnified showing the issue more clearly, even better as it clarifies the exact problem.

OP already stated it doesn't come up in screenshots. It's clearly a hardware issue...
I have this issue I believe. Except that it's when I dim the screen the previous images on the screen will not refresh.
See video I shot of it, at 1min 30sec I can start to see the ghosting. The white lines come and go too, usually when the screen is off and I wave at it to get the circles to appear so I can pause/play music. The more black on a screen the more likely it is to get lines down it.

Any luck in fixing this? My phone has the same issue and I keep reading things that say its a driver problem. Really seems to be hardware to me though, given that the same issue shows up in recovery mode...
Hi, same issue here. Had it for ages now, tried to return mine but Moto refused repair as my bootloader is unlocked. Have this issue in each and every ROM I try, stock or custom. Definitely seems like hardware.
If I keep the screen brightness up above 50% it's fine but anything below about 50% and it's unusable.

Same issue since some days
Hello, now that the Note 7 is dead the V20 is my best option here. I am worried about back light bleed from the 2nd screen and screen ghosting on the V20 I Had very bad screen ghosting with the V10 especially when playing games. I would even get screen ghosting while being on the home screen the status bar and navigation keys would ghost into the display for a long time. I always had my brightness below 20% and this still happened. Does anyone think these issues will be present with the V20?
As an educated guess I don't think it's going to be an issue, but we really won't know until people get their hands on these awesome devices...
cant remember who, but a reviewer on youtube running the preproduction model said there was light bleed from the second screen and around the bottom as well. who knows.

I just watched it about 30 mins ago. It's the Android Headlines "LG V20 Full Review." Hopefully just some preproduction units have that issue...
I have a production North American unit, I see a very very slight light bleed on the top left of the screen. Doesn't bother me and only saw it when I looked for it.

Do you see screen burn/ghosting when playing a game for a extended period of time?

Haven't used it for long enough, but not that I am aware of so far.
i got the LG V20 (F800K) and i cant tell any ghosting or bleeding. but i guess time will tell, I'm currently happy with the phone.

no ghosting after running a few benchmarks back to back, reboot, run again on my new v20.
I concur with the V10 screen issue, my v10 has really bad ghosting
I do have slight bleeding in the second screen lower left corner (only visible in a dark room though) on my v20
I was looking for some info what it might be that im starting to notice as apps change maybe we can chime in now that it been a year. I forsure get ghosting from my home screen to others and back. Yes there is definite bleed from the second screen. I just ran the LCD test and during a few of the color test i see my status bar and the out line from the calendar app i use as a home page. I keep my screen on all the time and run about 50% brightness with the comfort view on high.
Being a big LG fan and owning numerous LG phones over the years, I think I join the community when I say the G5 was a flop. I enjoyed the phone over the last year, but it had many quirks that should not exist for a flagship phone. One of those quirks being screen burn in. I feel it started about the 7 month mark and is only getting worse. What worries me is that the new G6, which I very much looked forward to, has the SAME screen!!!! Isn't burn in just going to be an issue on that phone as well or is there more to burn in that maybe I am aware of such as phone temp, heat dissipation and so on?
LCD shouldn't burn in.
Are you sure you don't have a fault with the display on the G5?
I have read about it in multiple forums. Its possible its a fault in the display, but its not just mine.

It`s not burn in, it`s image retention
I have the same issue. Hoping it's not same for the G6.
I was have same problem on g3, g4 and now on g5. I change screen (g5) but same problem
Screen is "same" so i think problem will be on g6
I had a Nexus 5 for 2 years and never had image retention.
I deliberately avoid amoled, so the last half a dozen or more phones I've had are LCD (some of which the display will have been made by LG if not the phone) and never had image retention.
Even my Sony TV has an LG panel.
The last good LG phone was G2, others had burn in issue, I'm pretty sure that G6 will have it.
I know that the technical name isn't burn in but ir looks the same and happens to every LG G3,4,5,V10,20 soon or later.
PS: I was a big LG fan due G2 but got disappointed.
I had "always on" turned on, on my g6
can confirm the clock has burnt in

My LG G6 has a screen burn in that will not go away. Phone is 2 months old. Only noticeable on a light background. It is of the game Pokemon Go the poke ball at bottom of screen is burnt in. Haven't played the game in a week and burn in remains.
