i just got an s6 from a friend for about $30, this is the first oled screen for me and its gorgeous! only issue was what seem an adhesive liquefies on the screens top right corner near front facing camera, i know its a common issue on the edge series but does the bubbles spreads even more overtime? what can i do to resolve this without replacing the whole lcd assembly? i mean just the digitizer can be replaced?

Hello guys, i just noticed today this hairline tiny black strip on my display, thought it was dust but it didn't wipe off. My phone is a week old and i never really had a device with defective pixels before so i can't really tell what this is. I ran the defective pixels fix videos for 30 minutes but that didn't help. Sorry for the image quality, i don't have a decent camera to capture those tiny pixels.
I also noticed that i have light bleeding from all edges when i view the device from an angle, is that normal for the nexus 5?
Could it be that there are gaps between the glass and the display that allow dust to go beneath the glass, and this is just a dust particle under the glass?

The light bleeding is normal I've seen on all Nexus 5 i have owned, the "Dead Pixel" is a little hard to judge , but in my opinion as its not solid square(s) i think it may be dust or debris.
I had purple spots start showing up on my first one. That doesn't look too bad but it would bug me too.
Do you think that more dust could get in if that's the case? I have a local warranty and i'm leaving this country after a month, if the issue won't grow bigger than this, then i may just live with it as i don't think LG would give me a replacement unit here.
Not sure if it would be an issue for them as the phone isn't dust proof,I'm no way saying its cool as it would annoy some people. I guess best thing is contract them and see what they say mate

It looks like dust to me, but to know it for sure I recomend you to take it to a LG Center.
They may not give you a replacement unit, but at least you will know what the problem is.
Hey guys
My mom and day just upgraded to the s5 as well.... They have both the black ones.... I have the white ones...
I was just looking at both their phones and saw a small gap between the chrome bezel and the screen....
On my phone (white one) the bezel is sealed tight and flsused with the LCD...
We took it back to the sprint store and replaced it with two different black ones..... same issue....
Is this normal and will it affect the dust and water resistant?
I just ordered a used S5 Active, and I noticed a small imperfection on the top right of the screen. I tried to scratch it off with my fingernail, and it wouldn't, so I assumed it was a chip out of the glass.
However, then I applied a glass screen protector, and it looks like this (see attached picture). So it doesn't seem to be a depression, it seems to be something actually on the screen. Any idea what it could be or how to get rid of it so that I don't have this annoying bubble?

disassemble will be the only solution for cleaning this bit i think ... in Egypt we have unofficial centres which fix these issues especially for phone like grand 2 which has a tft panel makes a bubble in the middle of the screen when using a glass screen protector
I dropped my phone, It fell out of my pocket in the gym today.
Now there is a red spot visible on the middle right screen link. I also noticed some light bleed from the left side. Can I fix this myself somehow?
I find it weird because the screen glass is in good condition, could the screen itself be permanently damaged?
It's pity as I still love this phone, and now it's damaged..
Thanks in advance
Yes, the top glass could be perfectly intact while screen beneath is damaged. I have seen this many times on Samsung phones that have been dropped.
Can't really either screen issue unless you replace the LCD.
Hi guys,
I have replaced the screen in my nexus 5 twice now. I purchased the screens from Amazon. The first screen on white backgrounds I would kind of see a square image on the screen in white. It kind of looked like the outline of the battery. It also had a few white spots on the screen. I tried loosening some of the screws but it didn't help. I contacted the seller and he recommended another replacement. He sent out another screen plus digitizer and frame.
The new screen arrived and I put it in. This screen is a lit better. I know only get 3 tiny white spots about the size of the screws in the nexus 5. Two look like they are where the battery would be inside the phone. The third is about 3 quarters of the way up the screen in the middle and slightly to the left. Why does this keep happening? Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this?
One thing I have noticed is in the dark with the screen on around the sides of the phone in places I can see slivers of light shining around the screen. It seams that the tape that the screen provider used was not sticky enough. Could this be what is causing the white spots? The screen seams firmly attached at the top and bottom just the sides. I heated it up with a blow dryer and held the screen down till it cooled. It slowly goes back to the way it was.
Thanks,
Rocky
Light bleeding from the edges of the frame in a dark environment is not uncommon with 3rd party screens. Putting on a case can help a lot.
As for the white spots, it may be a manufacturing defect that has nothing to do with the way you assembled the phone.
So there is nothing that can be done about the white spots? I don't understand how both screens did this. Seams like there is a very high failure rate. From comparison and matching numbers s to the stock digitizer the replacement seams to be a stock digitizer and frame. The white spots are annoying.
It's possible that both screens came from the same production run. I used screens from aliexpress and only one had a bit of light bleed around the frame. Once I put on a case, you could not see the light bleed.
None of the replacement screens had any dead or stuck pixels or hot spots.
