White is not white - T-Mobile LG G2x

Have you compared it to other G2X phones? Mine is pure white, your screen may have an issue. Also, does it on all roms/kernels? If I remember correctly color can be tuned at the kernel level. Not something the typical user could do, but a possible cause/solution.

Thanks for the response. I tried different kernels. I was never unhappy with it until I put it next to my Vibrant. Now its bothering the heck out of me and I want to fix it. It may be what is, but its worth a shot asking.

Do a little XDA searching, you'd be surprised at what you can find. Hopefully this works for you.

First, I only use the phone xda app and my pitiful search showed no favorable results. Second, thank you very much for taking the time and effort to pull this up for me. I'm gonna give it a shot. Much appreciated.

I just compared the screen on my G2X to my brother in law's SGSII and he about cried when he saw mine. People sure do like blacks on the galaxy screens but they sure as **** don't have clean whites. I'm on the weapon ROM but I don't think I've ever noticed yellow on any other ROM unless I crank the brightness down all the way.

My Vibrant had good whites as long as you kept the brightness turned up. They do tend to shift color to a brownish tone as you take the brightness down low, though.

have you already had the inspire, if so how does the build quality compare
If you never had a Samsung Galaxy phone yet, coming from HTC, you will be disappointed. HTC's build quality is MUCH MUCH better compared to Samsung's lightweight plastic and material

My only question is why this isn't posted in the infuse forum..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1158
This is the inspire forums.
Enjoy yer crapsong.....Or somthing
I don't known if it was just the display model but I thought it sucked.
Screen looked like crap, exactly like a Craptivate with a huge screen.
I was used the browser to look at xda and the experience was terrible.
Maybe it was just that model, I don't know.
The 2 nice things I noticed that sideloading was enabled and as big as the screen was, it didn't feel as big as it really was.

I tried a infuse that actually was working. My buddy bought one and he said its better cuz its light weight. Let me tell you, just like sgs,this phone feels like a cheap pos. This phone has a great screen but ill take build and quality over that screen anyday. His gps would reset using gps status app and it took atleast 76 seconds to lock on cold reset. Horrible and I'm in Dallas. Save the money,Samsung needs to stick with tvs and blu ray players. My two cents

But I still can't find my friggin' clothes. How am I supposed to find my clothes when the ****ing gps on my washer won't get a lock?
I hope samsungs phones have better gps than their washers.
Oh wait, my old captivate is still trying to get a lock. It's been at it for as long as I've had my inspire...like, three months.
I'll keep everyone posted on its progress. Or not.

Tmobile has set me free

By finally offering me a HTC sensation exchange. I tried to love this phone...
Came from sensation. Screen resoultion, size is amazing. But I must say color on LG g2x is way better even though mine have light leak problem. I don't mind.
I hope u get the good one. Sensation have 2 types of screen. One is good one is washed out. And I hope yours doesn't have dusts under the screen. Oh and I hope the you get the good digiziter too. Lots of sensation comes with touch screen problem. Like being unresponsive. Oh and don't break the phone digitizer. You can't fix it by local shop cause after you fix it the digitizer becomes unreponsive ffor 15 sec everytime you turn on the screen. Yes, I'm a troll. Trololololololol

Quoted for truth
1st G2X would freeze charging and reboot all the time in my pocket.
2nd G2X would freeze charging also and I'd find it black screened in my pocket every few days.
3rd G2X would reboot and have issues switching from data to wifi. It would show both but default to mobile data which has the worst signal at home.
Went through 3 batteries also.
I use my phone as a HTPC remote and alarm clock so these issues were pretty annoying. CM7 fixed most issues but there was still the APN issue. Looks like it's fixed now but oh well, the Sensation has been great thus far.
Based on what I've seen LG's QA process is utter ****.

try the weapon rom. running it is like having a brand new stable phone

Same for me. All of these.. last option for me is reverting back to froyo, and its looking good so far. I never stood on froyo for more than half a day when I got it. Rooted it right away and updated. So, if it happens with froyo again, I'm selling it with no regrets..

Cheated

So I cheated over there weekend and got the droid razr..... And I hated it so I'm back to the charge, going to check out the nexus next week tho, just not to happy bout only having 16 gb..... For now I'm sticking with my charge
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
What exactly didn't you like about the razr? I was looking at picking up one but the biggest drawback with motorola phones is the locked bootloader so no custom kernels.

ya that was one thing but the ui is way too complicated, to many options. I hoped it would be like the og did but it wasnt. I also got dead pixels out of the box. And it gets really hot. Battery worse then charge. I'm sure the hardware is great but Motorola killed it.

I was reading threads about people complaining about black splotches on the screen when looking at a black image in the dark (why would you do that anyway?) Apparently its an issue with AMOLED screens as they all say. Other than that and the high temps everyone seems to like the phone. I'm having Verizon swap me to a new phone so I'm trying to get an idea if the Razr or Rezound is better.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
they both suck. we were cheated and never got the SGSII. The greatest phone to date.
Motorola has some great ideas but when it cones ti amoled screens Samsung takes the lead hands down. I like the options I get with my photon but I too have dark spots on my screen. Not a big deal to me, you get used to them, but out of the box come kn Motorola get it together.

I could live with the black spots. It's not like I would be staring at a black picture under the blankets constantly Lol. The lack of removable battery worries me when it comes to flashing roms though.

Black blotches on screen

So I sent back one already for this and my referb I got back is not nearly as bad but they are still there. Basically, when I am using the phone in a dark area and the screen gives black , not off, there are black dots on the screen. This one is not nearly as bad but is it worth trying another one?
Opinions?

I think it's common for Super AMOLED screens to have them. Mine does at least

Well my first one was TERRIBLE with them. There was one that took up about 1/3 of the screen and looked like someone took a swab of paint and spread it around underneath the glass. This one just has a few small dots that are black

My GSIII has two relatively small blotches. Very annoying, but from what I understand if I get a replacement it will probably be worse.

I see a few on mine also in the same situation(black screen but not off). I don't see them very much though. I guess I got lucky and got small ones. (one of the only situation a guy likes to admit he has small ones lol)

what can i do?

i got my nexus 5 and did the speaker mod where i drill holes.now 2 days later i got light bleed on screen and bluehish tint spots ,i know warranty is void cause of mod . can i just buy speaker module and install it and try to rma?
that's pretty fraudulent

I'd like to thank you instead! This is XDA, no one forces anyone to do anything on here. The OP of this post made his own choice of opening up his phone and drilling the holes.
Many people have done the same mod and no one else is facing the same problem. It could well be the OP drilled a little bit too hard which makes sense considering the screen is showing signs of damage.
OP: I was looking for spare speaker parts myself but have not seen any yet ( UK ).
Can you take a picture of the damage?

Does the damage coincide with where you put the holes? For example where the bluish marks are on the screen?

no, from what I'm seeing it looks like there may be something under the back cover which is causing pressure on the display. that does not look like light separation.
Take it back apart and see what you see.

This is what you should have started this thread with. You already know what caused the issue, and you're trying to get a free replacement on the phone by using Fraud.
I realize this is going to come across as offensive, but you were dumb enough to sit on your phone and now you're dumb enough to try to get XDA to help you attempt fraud against Google so you don't have to pay the money to get it fixed. Read the forum rules about illegal activity.

It's probably only visible on a dark screen because those are the areas where the actual display are under stress from the phone being bent. It won't necessarily make it BRIGHTER.... just more easily noticed. Kind of like if you touch your computer monitor. touch the screen where it's lighter, and you don't really notice much of anything. touch where it's darker, and you'll more easily see the distortion.
