Hello, just thought I would post here about my V20. I bought my V20 on the night of November 10, and loved using it ever since. It replaced my Droid Turbo 2, which was a meh phone for me. Up until last week, I had no issues whatsoever with the V20, at all. Then, last week I could tell there looked to be some thick orange lines on the left and right sude of the phone, from top to bottom. I thought it was probably nothung, so I ignored it. The next day it was gone, until that night, and it was back again, and the line on each side were thicker than before. I now knew that this probably was an issue, but still ignored it. Over the next few days, it got worse, when the top status bar started showing the PM and time in the same place, when the clock wasn't showing, notifications were on the screen when they shouldn't be, and even the second screen started getting my signature burned into the display (though it wasn't burned, since it goes away after a while.) The button bar on the bottom of the screen will burn in as well, as it has started to a couple days ago. Anyone else experiencing this? Have any tips? Thanks

Darn, thanks for the help. I will probably take it in for warranty though, otherwise if it happens again, I will replace the screen like you said.

So, how is screen retention going?
I start noticing it in my 3 months old phone. It's not new for me since I had the LG G4.

I got my Galaxy S II this morning, and it's awesome, but I'm starting to get this problem which completely destroys the experience...
After using it for a while, the screen starts getting horizontal streaks (but no vertical streaks) that match the brightest colour in that row. For example, I have a facebook con on my homescreen and the entire vertical row gets more and more blue. This is the same for everything, and it's particularly bad with black text on a white background, where the whole line has a grey background...
Any one else with this problem or anyone with some advice? I'm starting to think I'll have to take it back.

I had to go through 4 phones to get a perfect one.
Exchange/ send it back right away.
If you bought it instore then check the new one there. If you bought it online.. =/ it might take some time to get a perfect one.
Damn, gonna take it back tommorow I think.
Are you in the US? What retailers in the US will take these back for exchanges?
No, I live in the UK and bought it in Phones4U
great so how the heck are we supposed to order from UK over here in the USA if we may potentially have to return multiple times just to get a good screen? sadness

Looks like I wont be returning it today... left it charging overnight with the phone off and started using it again this morning, been using it for about an hour now and no screen issues at all, before it would start appearing after about 10 minutes. :/ I've got 30 days to return it so i'll wait... just hope I dont get any long term screen problems, although this will hopefully come under the two year warranty...

Get a white screen up and wait till it dims down and check again. You should be able to still see those lines.

That's what I've been thinking! It did it one more time today, but only after the screen being on playing a 720p video for a couple of hours, and it hasn't done it since.

Done that, but there isn't any. It definetely isn't burn-in, the colour of the lines change depending on the brightest colour that is in that line, pretty hard to explain so I wish I could take pictures, but the only camera I have is the one on the phone, lol.

for every 100 owners of SGS2 there is only one who is an active poster here. And out of every 100 active posters , only like 1 would have issues. So do not worry and hope for luck!
Got my SGSII yesterday only to realize that there is a circle on the downleft of screen. It's very annoying. Went to Telenor today but they had no phones left. Only thing to do now is wait 4 weeks for a new one.
Any idé on what this is? Have you checked your own ones?
imgur.com/a/pLZC5#3guAm
More people have this. I don't know if it went away with anyone? Some say it should go away and the production process causing it.
I see you also have the 1/3 yellowish/darker screen. I am wondering if there is someone who doesn't have this.
Sorry didn't want you to focuss on it, guess you didn't saw yet. but a lot have this(if not everybody).

this phone has so many faults.
all you can do is send it back and get another one... and hope that there isnt something wrong with that.
Am I lucky? My one has no problem. Did you do special things? Or the circle point was pressed? I am worry about possible problem on my sgs2.

Didn't do anything. Opened it, charged it and booted it. Tested it out and rolled down statusbar, noticed directly and all my happyness for my new phone dissappeared.
I guess its the kind of person who owns the phone..
I myself am almost a perfectionist.. well.. atleast when i buy new things.. why would i want a new product with some minor/ major problems on it?
hardware problems.. not software.. since software can be fixed.
I had the circle on mine, top right of the screen. Made a thread about it last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078058
Noticed it shortly after taking delivery of the box when I was viewing some photos. It's not visible on pixels where full brightness is used (no matter if it's R, G, or B), but on anything between black and full white it's visible. Sent mine back yesterday for replacement, but I was told by an Expansys-USA rep that they won't have any in stock till the 30th.
Supposedly it's from the suction cup used on the assembly line and that it's technically supposed to go away over time. Expansys only gives a small window of time for returns, and my circle wasn't showing signs of disappearing. Might wanna have yours swapped out, too.
Thanks, was looking for someone else having this problem.
I live in Sweden and ordered from operator Telenor.
They only have a 7 day DOA, so I called them and because all phones were out both in physical store and on the web, they was going to send me a servicebox that I will pack everything and then send it. Hopefully I will get a new one in a few weeks. They say that it can take up to a month though.
Hey there,
I got the exact same thing, but on the right side of the display. I got this thing just yesterday, I live in Germany.
I really do not want to send it back, especially since it seems display problems are pretty common with this phone and there is no guarantee I'll get another one without it.
Anyone knows if this might go away? I have 4 weeks until I have to send it back.
No idea if it will go away, but if you've got 4 weeks, maybe you can see if it does fade over time? I had a really short period of time to report any problems with the phone to Expansys (48 hours), so I couldn't wait.
Man... 4 weeks..! That seems like such a luxurious amount of time to check for problems with the phone.
I can't see anything like this on my phone...
How can I see/make it:-??
Guys, I'm in big trouble. My Defy's display is having some blue dotted lines in it. It was not there till yesterday. Phone fell off from my pocket flat on it face. No visual cracks on the glass , but these lines has appeared.
Am i scr*w*d ??
Hi!
I've already experienced this issue after I dropped mine.
I just took the battery out and let it rest for 1-2 days.
What I experienced is, that the lines get worse, as long as the defy is in use.
Taking the battery out for several hours could make the shrink again.
So, before sending it in for repair, just have a try. I can't promise anything, but it worked out well for me.
Good luck!

Well, I guess the screen is screwed. If there are no visible physical damage to your phone, you can give it to the service centre. Make sure you flash stock ROM and get rid of 2nd init and root etc before giving it there.

Great! Happy to hear this!
I have a small line on my screen that is unresponsive. It goes straight across the top of the screen exactly where the install button is in the play store (about 1" from top of screen at roughly 1/4" thick). Its in a pretty awkward spot and causes a lot of problems. For some reason it has also disabled the tap to wake feature of my phone.
I installed the "Touch Test" app which shows that my entire touch screen is working. However it shows the phone recognizing 2 pointers (touches) being active whenever I touch that area of my screen. I've been having this problem for 2 or 3 months now and all of a sudden today on my lunch break it went away. I was able to tap to wake the screen (worked perfectly the 20 or so times I attempted it), I was also able to hit the install button in the play store and life was great... Or so I thought. A few hours later on my next break my phone went back to annoying piece of junk that I completely dislike using.
Now I dont know exactly when this started happening. I did notice it sometime soon after the 4.4 update, and flashing a custom rom/kernel has made no improvement. Anyone got any ideas? I loved this phone before this started, and my phone is so frustrating now that I completely disrespect the thing and have scratched the crap out of the screen. I'm really hoping this can be fixed so I can go on with enjoying whatever life I have left with the g2, if not I'll probably just abuse it until it breaks then switch over to a water proof z2 or something along those lines... Phone was very well taken care of before the problem started, wasnt dropped or exposed to water (other then using outside in the rain for a few min at a time)

I have this problem too, any fixes?
Well I am in shock as to how we all have the same exact problem.
I first thought it was hardware failure on the screen itself and was pretty bummed. But now I see people have the exact same unresponsive touch screen in the exact same spot as mine? What ROM/Kernel are are you guys running? I am running what is in my sig and had not noticed it before until a couple of days ago. Coupled with the unresponsiveness, my Knock on does not work and the phone becomes mildly warm faster than usual. I think it might be a kernel software issue.
Ugh... I was hoping this wouldn't turn in to this big of a problem. I've got the same thing here, VS980 after flashing a Cloudy ROM.
I took over a thread here recently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52858791 , but I'll post here again anyways. I wonder if it's the same spot with you guys too. It's right where the install button is on the Play Store, right? For a few hours after it started it went back to normal, then messed up again permanently.
TOT'ing back to 12B didn't help, so I got a replacement device from Verizon. I've yet to send back my old one because I'm worried about the unrooted flag in the bootloader and settings.
I don't have enough posts yet to be able to do this, but can someone alert a dev about this? Particularly in the thread of whatever ROM it was that you last used? A lot of people in the last thread said it came from Cloudy, and I figured it might make sense as Knock Code was supposed to be a feature on there even though the VS980 source wasn't out. Then again I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'd love to hear from someone who does.
I dont think my blacked out area is quite as thick as yours but yes its in the exact same place. To confuse things even more my phone just started working properly again (for how long is another story). Its very odd that It hasnt worked once in 2 months or so and now twice in 2 days its started working.
As a side note I'm pretty sure I started having this problem immediately or very shortly after the OTA kitkat update. I'm now running cloudypro II 2.0 with 3.4.0 kernel, which as i said before didnt fix the problem in the 1 month ive been using this rom.
I originally thought it may have been a software issue, but for it to randomly start/stop working all of a sudden after so long of no function (with no software being added or changed) I'm thinking its more likely a hardware problem? When I fly home on Monday I'm going to try opening up the phone and cleaning the contacts to the from the touchscreen to the mainboard.
If it is software related it may have something to do with air plane mode. I get almost no signal where I'm working at the moment and the constant searching for signal kills my battery pretty fast so I've started using air plane mode the past few days. Thats the only thing out of the ordinary that i've done software wise.
Having the same issue!!

Yes, we've sent it to LG for repairs and they were able to fix it easily.
Sfkn, was your phone rooted when you sent it to them? I'm having the same issue, and it either started happening today, or I just noticed it today, but it's bugging the crap out of me. I'm running stock kk, rooted with twrp and on the cloudyfa kernel.

Had the same today but at the middle of the screen, I pressed on the corners and around the screen pretty hard and it is back to normal(for now).
Hope it wont come back.
You can unroot the device by flashing original rom with LG flash tool.

It does look like a battery bar. I'm betting it's in one of the apps you have downloaded.

But you did get it early despite this flaw you found on your device.
You got to hold and experience this beast before millions of others did. That's something you'll always be able to say. So just wait it out for your replacement and try not to get too upset over it. You've already learned first hand what this phone is capable of.

Yes I did but not upset. Tmo rep said I had a 20 day remorse period. I have a gs6 the gs6 is brighter on low levels. This gs7e is going to be a beast once rooted with custom roms. My only concern is the gear vr and Netflix that I registered for.
