So... I received my phone last night. The vibration motor was DOA ( started working 5mins ago though). And there is some pretty bad backlight bleed.
Is it worth RMA'ing?

if the light bleed bothers u i dont see why u wouldnt
My 1st arrived with a DOA vibrator, but never worked. THat was the only issue. Got my 2nd one and vibrator works as expected. I love this phone
You're going to get light bleed of some kind on any backlit LCD. Is it bad? Do you use your phone in a dark closet with the screen set to display a black screen? Up to you

I agree. I just don't want to go through the trouble of RMA'ing for a worse (or equal) device lol
There is no reason to think that you would get an equal or worse product if you RMA it. If you do RMA the RMA.

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...

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.

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.

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.
I got my nexus on Tuesday, the next day I realised the power button rattles whenever I tapthe top right corner of the screen. The day after I found one single dead pixel. I ran an app to fix it overnight but it didn't.
Is this worth a RMA? I live in the UK if that makes a difference. Thanks!

For me, the rattle might not be a deal breaker but the Dead pixel sure is! I would RMA it. You can ignore the occasional rattle but the dead pixel kinda pops up

I'm not passing any judgment on you so don't get offended, but my guess is they figure since you took a drill to it, either a. they think you don't care about the money or b. you're an idiot and will pay without questioning.
But from the pictures, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not just the screen.
good luck!
It should be just the screen because I replaced it with an eBay one but the screen wasn't a original. It kinda work with the eBay one but it didn't. I sent it back and I'm guessing it was the screen. Everything in it is not damage and I live is the united States by the way.
Edit: Can anyone link me to an OEM screen ? On eBay or Amazon only
