Hey people ! I just purchased my Google nexus 5 the last week ... The second day i bought it , i noticed weird screen yellow small spots flicker that appears whenever i view or browse some images especially that have a red colour ( i even noticed the gmail icon in the menu .. Which had red color .. And it also showed 3 small yellow spots ) .. In case of viewing a video , it was worse .. Jumping yellow sopots that flickers .. Especially in high quality videos .. Also games , any game that show red color or its grades , Also experiences the same problem .. I thought of replacement but unfortunately i bought the mobile from a country and then traveled to another country the same day and Their warranty doesn't exist in the country I'm in now .. And i won't be back there until a very long time .. So I'm very annoyed and really want a quick fix for this issue as its really irritating me and i dont wanna wait or go to LG here and pay some money to fix it .. And i couldnt find a better place than here to help me so please people of the xda help meeeeeeee !!
Help people .. Please !
Where are you guys ????
Hello,
First of all it's against the rules to bump topics within 24 hours of your previous post.
Now about your problem, it does look like a hardware defect to me. You could try to factory reset it but if it's a hardware related, you can't do anything other than replacing the screen/faulty part...

Hi everybody ,
It seems to me that the (my) Polaris screen has a little "brown/yellow" color .Even with brightness at max.
I mean that when I take a picture inside , white is a little "browny" . Same thing for the videos (not only thosectaken with the polaris , but also movies ) .
I have also a Touch (Elf) since a week , and the color are more clear (although a little cold)
I had an M600 Eten which was also more brilliant and real with colors .
What for you ?
BTW , my elf seems to be faster than the Cruise !!!!
I just posted the same issue, your message didn't come up the first time I searched. I'm experiencing the exact same thing. It's almost like a brown color theme has been applied to the device that shades pretty much everything. It's bugging me as I just got it -- did you ever figure out how to get the colors to display better?!
Hi,
I just registered in order to say that I have exactly the same problem.
I just replace my old HTC Cruise by a new one and I am expericing the bad display of the screen.
Hi!
I just recently noticed that there are two bigger yellow spots and a line on the screen of my KS20, I am pretty sure they weren't there a couple of days ago. Ok so well, I tried take a screen shot and they do not show up there so apparently it is hardware related, and they do not show up on white or light colors... any idéas?? besides service again... : /
if the pixels are dead, you can't do anything other than use service.. or replace the screen yourself.. if you know how and can get a replacment one for your KS.
i assume you can find a guide to disassembling the KS20 on the net somewhere..
Yea, but i am not sure i would call them dead, yet as they yellow is only on dark colours (of course, where they are as visible as possible -_-)... Guess i have to send it in for service again, sigh...
hehe. i sympathize. hate those services..
I have square yellow spot on bottom of screen above touch sensitive keys and I can see it on white and grey screen color. Yesterday I also notice round yellow spot in upper right corner of display and it is slightly less noticable than one on the bottom but still annoying. What to do, send phone to service, will they repair this, will it help and is there any help with this. I read that I need to set brightness to 75-80 percent, it sometimes helps and sometimes dont because I still see yellow spots. Crazy. Is there anyone with this kind of situation and how do you guys handle it?
Thanks.
I have too...

Hi,
I am seeing 2 single white dots on left side of my phone screen. I like Galaxy R beacuse of its specification. But same time I was worried about its screen size as I am too used to keep phone on left front pocket of my jeans pant. When I drive 2 wheeler I see sometime it gets pressurized. I don't know how else I can keep this phone with me.
So the question is, did my phone create any dead pixels just because of it might have got some pressure? Anyone can help to know are those really dead pixels and how to fix them?
I can only see them when camera switch on/off and display for a moment becomes black or when watching video. Otherwise with full colour background wallpaper, dots never be seen.
Well as we have lcd screen, i dnt thinkk that problem like dead pixels in amoleds can be happen here (correct me if i m wrong)
try flashing stock rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache, may be it help. Do update ur prob resolved or not.

i don't think they are dead pixels, it may be because of dust.. similar thing happened to my friends Optimus One because of dust..
First let's confirm its not due to the background of the picture that was on your screen.
- Type *#0*# => Press Vibration(Black) => Now check if there are any White spots.
- If there are white spots on the screen then take it to the service center and have it checked, if its just dust as guys above me have mentioned then they'll clean it.
- If you can't see any white spots then it was the background that you were talking about which had white spots & nothing is wrong with the screen.
Hope this helps.

I have a similar white spot... well, i am saving that one, given that the R is now out of stock, if we dont see an ICS build or if samsung says they can't get to update it to ICS, i am gonna take it to the samsung centre and ask them to change the screen as i am getting that white spot and because of no stocks, i am sure i will be getting my refund
Even I had a white pixel on the left hand side of the screen on my SGR. You can observe it only while having a dark background. I read online that its pretty common so I left it.
You can try an android app - "Pixellator" (?!).. I am not sure if thats the name.. It has been made specifically for such white pixels.. Its dint work for me though... But no harm in trying

Thanks for this information. I was not knowing such hidden interface. I did above test and found no white spots. I am actually confused now. I do have scratch guard on my screen. Don't know but those 2 white spots can be seen randomly only when black background is on screen.

Then it's the background's problem .
I know CM7 has such a system app called CMWallpapers.apk , and they have the choice of setting it as "No Wallpaper" . Can you try extracting that from the CM7 ROM and giving it a try ? Don't know if it works though *shrug*
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?

try turning on the brightness to max and then do the vibration ( black) test...
then you can see them easily...
it is there in my case...

Switch on the camera and cover your camera & manually turn off the flash. Now take a picture it would be completely black.
Do update on the progress here.

I can now see those 2 very small white spots at the same place. Do such spots are problematic in future and should be fixed at service center soon? Do they will fix this under warranty?

If u want u can raise claim and yes they will fix it for free as its a display prob and ur phone is in warrnty period.
Before giving in ssc ensure that u have flashed stock rom of ur country, ur download counter is zero and ur phone is not rooted.

i had my Samsung tablet 8.9 since January and all of a sudden i noticed a white spot on the screen. it appears as gray when the device is on and the screen is white and it appears as white when the device is off or the screen is black. has anyone encountered the same problem? what is it? and why it suddenly appeared? how to solve it?
it is a normal thing. almost all lcd screens have approx. 0.03% dead pixel in whole screen even if it is new. there is no point to be worried about this.
Hi Guys,
New to this forum. I recently sold my one plus due to the exact reason but this was at the bottom of the display. Many have said that it would disappear over time but after 6 months, the yellow band was still haunting me. Gave up because of how infuriating it was and sold it. Got this beast, loving it but I noticed straight away at the top left of the display there was a yellow spot which spreads slightly to the centre. Im not familiar with the characteristics of certain displays as I am aware of the different kinds of displays these two devices use. Just wondering, would this problem disappear over time ?? I saw this post on this particular "fix" sites, which says that it will over time given the glue dispersion from heat and what not. BUT, im just afraid (skeptic here) it would end up like my one plus. Im trying to avoid going back to the reseller as this phone was purchased from a grey importer. Any input from any of you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

a lot of people have yellow spots . the spots are mostly visible in 0% brightness and grey backround. Install dead pixel detect and fix and choose gray from the menu. if the result is not good contact with lg service center to change the screen.
you mentioned also oneplus. I also had oneplus before. it had 2 issues the first one was the led light bleeding and the yellow banding. the led bleeding is only visible down due to the position of led lights of the phone and cannot be fixed. the yellow band was due to the glue that didn't properly fixed. I personally had this issue but after some months It was fixed by the use of the phone. I also let it 2-3 times under direct sunlight for 20-25 minutes.

you can try it but I don't know if the glue is the issue. on the other hand lg has a very good service maybe it can replace your screen if the problem is so obvious

hey, i managed to exchange for another one. Though there is some improvement, the yellow spots are still apparent albeit less noticeable and only in Grey background. Did your's disappear, or at least improve overtime? How is it? I have tried using a 38W UV lamp for nearly an hour and the yellow spots are still there..
