Hi to all again!
I just wanted to ask you a question about the display light: in a dark room, when you turn on the display and the soft touch buttons will turn on too, I notice a little bit of filtering light in the thin "junction" between the glass and the thin "glass border" of the display...only in correspondance with soft touch lights...
This can be noticed if you look at the phone "from above", I mean not in front of it, but if looked from top to bottom...I just can't take good photos, 'cause there's a very little filtering light...but here's a try, just to let you understand where's the right place, see the attached photo...
Is that normal?
Normal? No. It's a minor build defect. Will they do something? I doubt it. =/
Hmm...I don't know if I have to send it back for this...but I'M afraid that another one can have another problem...
I have a Grey version...
It's hard to compare with your picture, but I can see some light shining from the edges of my phone too. A thing which bothers me a bit more is that the light from the capacitive buttons shines trough on the screen, so it isn't completely black at the bottom

On my phone is only on a part of the thin line (the "connection" between the real display glass and the "border" glass) below the soft touch button...you can notice it only in dark rooms obviously, when the soft button light is on.
GLUE Strip
the display is glued to the glass as I read on engadget.com. I assume at this point there is no glue there. Fixing will make it worst. I would say live with it

Then yes I have the same, but I also see it on the top edge when viewing web pages or something white.

I think I'll go that way after all...I just don't want to imagine turn back to "the waiting game (from one to another)"...
A sort of bad luck has taken me perhaps...I've found a stuck pixel in the top middle part of the display...seen only with grey gradients or with some other colors, invisible with clear black and clear white colors...

Hey all, been having my touch pro for about a year and a half and it has been great so far. Up till today, when I was at work, i noticed this little blue dot on my screen, thought it was nothing and ignored it. The phone was working fine till about few minutes later, when I checked on it the screen just wouldn't respond. Note that everything else works, the buttons and keyboard work, the home clock keeps ticking, but yet the screen just would not do anything. However when the backlight dims (due to inactivity) and when i touch the screen, it goes back to full brightness (the usual) which means that it is still working. So what's going on and how would I go about fixing this?
It's possible something is pressing down on the screen continuously, do you have any snap on cases? Also, this blue dot, how big is it, and what is its shape? Is it a dead pixle? Perhaps the point of impact something hit the screen at to disable it's functionality. Have you tried a hard reset?
So an update to my situation. Can confirm that this is 100% not a software problem, but a hardware one. No cases on the phone, just a screen protector. The blue dot, more like blue patch has now become bigger. :S
When the screen is turned off, it looks like a patch of blue underneath the screen, and on a white background that patch is very white and bright.
I then removed my screen protector to see if it's just some ink stuck in there as I was getting quite desperate. The blue patch was still there, and is underneath the screen. I grabbed the screen protector and decided to use the sticky side of it to sort of remove the adhesive glue that was on the screen and voila, the blue patch dissapeared. And the screen was again useable.. But when I however press on the affected area, it will filled with the blue patch once again. I can redo this process a million time, but afterall, the phone is still not useable as a slight touch on the area and the screen will no be useable.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like the top layer of your screen is just worn out. The best fix is to replace it most likely. You could try using another screen protector or two to stiffen the top layer and see if that fixes it, but you'd probably lose sensitivity. That spot is caused because the film of oil between the top and bottom layer is non existant at that point, and both the top and bottom layers are literally stuck together. I believe the oil is suppose to prevent this.
Hi,
Just for fun I've put mu phone under UV light. I have some slightly yellow backlight bleeding and thought it might solve the yellow tint of backlight bleeding.
I don't have the yellow band, just some yellowish backlight bleeding.
And then I at once saw this:
http://i.imgur.com/CqycUe0.jpg
Can anyone explain what's the rectangular part of the screen that is lighter than the rest of the screen? Or is it the glue that's everyone is talking about?
EDIT: my theory actually worked and no more yellowish backlight bleeding. It's still there (and only visible from a certain angle), but it's not yellow anymore. It's now white
I'm using franco kernel btw, so the screen tint is whiter than with standard kernel. This is when I noticed the yellowish backlight.
Is that the screen on with a black background? It looks so centered and rounded that I have a hard time believing it's not some sort of picture.
(I am not calling you a liar, just saying that it looks strange)
I could assume that your glue has been cured by UV but it has not spread across the whole screen yet. Maybe try putting it under the light again and check if that makes a difference?
The screen was off. Even worse: the phone was off....
That's exactly why I was surprised to see that. And why I asked here.
There is also nothing visible on the screen. The brightness is equal and no discolorations are visible. So I'm not worried about it. Was just curious.
I saw it the minute I've put it under UV light. Didn't change anything after 15 mins (except my yellowish backlight LED's became white) and in general the screen looked whiter)
On another forum I've read it could be some kind of oil to protect the LCD from the digitizer. Not sure it is but could actually be...
Could be glue but the shape is too strange for that.
Another guess is that they like sticked some kind of sticker on the glass (coming from manufaturer) and they remove the sticker without cleaning and then it leaves this kind of residu...
It's only visible under UV light, that's the interesting part.
Anyone else have any issues in regards to the screen?
I can look past the horrible refresh rate/ghosting, but this is really bugging me, amongst other things.
It seems the bottom half, mainly in the left corner, is quite a bit brighter than the top, making it seem more yellow, and the top a darkish pink hue.
The bottom corners also have very noticeable light bleed strip down the sides, which is noticeable on any screen/colour. It's like a small bright 3mm or so wide strip each side.
Half way up theres also a mark that separates where the brighter part of the screen starts/ends, so I'm wondering if someone dented the back of the panel when assembling it in the factory?
Either way I've requested a replacement, I'm just more curious to see if it's a common problem or not. Ghosting aside, the screen itself is quite stunning to look at, especially with a bit of ambient light in the room.

i didn't get your question, but if it is that i have any issues in regards to the screen? then no, i think it's stunning...
I also have the light bleed in the corners but it's only really noticeable on the bottom of the right bezel (in portrait). The light bleed looks like a strip on bright white light running up the right hand bezel before stopping about a third of the way up.
This is my second z3 and I'm contemplating whether to bother with another replacement or just return it altogether. Can't say I've been won over by the phone so far...I may just go for the note 4 instead...
Hey guys! what should I look out for after I finally get my S6 before the return window closes? Mainly on the hardware side as there is always the chance that the software gets fixed.
Alright guys! Lets start trouble shooting. i just got my S6 in topaz blue(MAYBE THIS IS IMPORTANT HERE as in: -> it's a lighter colour). and immediately i noticed a few bad bad things.
The softkeys do not light pure white but more of a beige hue(dirty white).Additionaly!! The silhouette of the lit light is shifted two times within the glass. What I mean is, that the conture of the lit softkey button can also be seen right above and below the normal place where the softkey lights up... so if it is lit I can see the symbol a total of three times. Depending on the angle of view on of the reflections(?) within the glass disappear. The notification LED has also the same kind of light shifting effect
The whole Metal-Bezel on the front feels quite sharp in comparision to the back side of it.
The Display has a slight green hue at the bottom of the display(almost the same color of the phone)
I am able to see iregularitys in the colour layer of the bezel beneath the glass on the top part of the phone. this can only be seen if a lightsource shines on it.
And lastly: OMG is the phone slippery! I think this comes from the fact the the only part which gives the phone hold on the side opposite the palm is the small edge side(opposed to the end of the bezel + a rounded back cover of some phones(Lg G2... so good to hold)).
So i just got my hands on a MotoG3 and wanted to ask you guys if there any sort of ripple/discoloration effec that you notice on the screen if you press the screen a little hard? Not very hard but more than a slight touch. I see small ripples around the area where I press on the screen. Is it normal?
Definitely not normal. Might be an issue with the glass and glue on top of your display.

If you press right in the middle of the screen, what do you see? A little more than average pressure.
Its like when you touch the screen of your laptop. The distortion in the LCD display.
makes me wonder if the screen was left out in the sun. You could take a chance and try to get an OEM lcd/digitizer on fleabay - just make sure it says oem. Also google for motorola g3 teardown and read them all.
I have the same thing on my device since day one. It hasn't got any worse or better and it is present only in one place - a liitle above the center to the right.
