Hi I bought the g2x like a week ago it had little backlight bleed from the top corners and today I noticed its getting worse, now its from the middle and from bottom to plus now I have a dead pixel. I checked the phone when I got it the first day and now its getting very bad. I wanted to keep but its going back.

I was just looking at mine today and you might be right-when I got it a little over a week ago the bleeding was minor-nothing to worry about, now it's clearly visible under low light environment- top left and right corners as well as the bottom left corner. Completely unacceptable for $550 device that claims to be one of the best super smart phones out there.
I so wanted to overlook the screenbleed but now when its getting worse I can't , plus now I have a dead pixel right in the middle that's making me more crazy, yesterday my friend got himself g2x and he's the screen is good but it had other problems like wifi connection issues and rebooting, man this phone sound so perfect on the paper but when u get them they have so many problems. I'm thinking waithing for gs2.

There are apps in the market to fix the dead pixel-give it a try. As far as the bleeding-we are on the same boat it seems...
I really think some people are blowing this issue out of proportion.

The people that ***** are those that ***** a lot. The minority is always the most vocal.
Guess what other device has a similar "problem". The evo 4g, yet there isn't as much complaining now.
People should do their research before buying. This phone has been out for quite some time now.

One, tried to exchange it second time, but the new one was even worse than mine in terms of LCD Bleeding so I kept mine...but mine now just started randomly rebooting so I will go and exchange it again....

Your taking a chance man. But I understand. Ask for a later date. Or check box when they bring replacement out. I exchanged 3 times and I have minimal bleeding.

LOL again we blow it out of proportion and you have already exchanged it 3 times.....
i have had 2 that had horrible bleeding and one with reboots/wifi/sim wont recognize problems....
third one on the way
i figured it would get worse as i stated in other threads... my tv got worse within just about 3 months time after buying it and i got it replaced...
i just dont get why some are really bad....others are ok... and then some have NO backlight bleeding... again ill say it...
i worked in a plastic company for 3 years total and we had "standards" parts that where not to the "standard" where thrown away..... this is all about korean quality control.... they dont have any if there is such wide spectrum of good bleed vs bad bleed vs horrible bleed....

I returned for other reasons. I had reboot issues.and data stuck in 2g one. I had minimal on all. Like I said u only notice in a complete pitch black room with brightness on 100%. Yes blown out of proportion. The issue isnt gonna be fixed for some time. Most stores arent even on a second batch shipment. Keep returning if u think it will make matters better. Some people have reported diff. Taking a chance when the one u have may be the best it can get.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the community but hope to be part of it!
Anyways I used to be an iphone user but switched to the skyrocket and love it! Its been about 3 weeks and everythings been great. I actually decided not to use a screen cover and have gotten no scratches thus far.
However today i noticed under a bright light theres two horizontal whitish lines on my screen, both near the top each only going half way across the screen. I can see it most clearly under bright light and almost not at all under a regular light and if I look at my phone at an angle (from the bottom to the top or vice versa) It looks more like a smudge (that cant be rubbed off) than a sratch because it looks thicker than a scratch, almost a discoloration. However it looks fine with the screen on. What could this be? Should i be concerned or go to the Att store? Thx guys!!

Now at your problem. When you rub your hand do you feel anything on the screen? like thin scratch?

NO it won't be problem. I hard bricked my phone so when i went to att they just did phone swap. If you want everything replaced than you must have everything.

I've had lines like that on both my Skyrocket and my Captivate. Not sure if they're the same as yours, vertical lines that look like scratches, but when I clean them with an alcohol pad they go away.

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?

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 just noticed mine having 2 small(ish) ones last night, I just thought it was very odd. So this just happens with Super AMOLED? Is this a panel issue or quality in assembly issue?

From what I remember from the galaxy s2 the Qualcomm chip actually doesn't do well arraying the colors, compared to exynos.

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)
Everyone was complaining that the iphone has a purple hue when the camera is pointed at bright lights. Well I just found out that the front facing camera on the galaxy s3 has the same problem. Has anyone noticed this before? I know why it happens but this is the first time I noticed it and I couldn't find anyone talking about it. I'm just happy we don't have this problem on the back camera.
I've never seen it.

I tried recreating the issue. It's not nearly as strong as yours, but it's there. I would guess that most users would find that under the right lighting conditions. It's something I wouldn't have even noticed had you not mentioned it. I don't often sit in front of a light source when using the FFC though.

I'm thinking that there are two reasons why its so strong. One reason is I replaced the light bulbs a few days ago with "twice as bright" bulbs. The second possibility might be the fact I have other light sources in the room. Could have been a perfect storm of them mixed.
Something is seriously wrong with your camera, is it giving everyone a neck beard????

All cameras will do that to some extent, though I wasn't able to get my GS3 to recreate anything close to what is in your screenshot.
I tried to make it happen on the back camera but I got zero purple.

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?

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.
