I got my hands on a nexus 7 which had a broken digitizer. I replaced the screen with an OEM piece, but after 10 minutes of usage yellowish spots started to appear at every side. I thought it was pressure and removed some screws. Every spot gone except one which got even worse and turned purple. What to do? Picture attached..
-maybe useful sideinfo: new screen didnt have copper alloy sheets on them like old one
-the screen seems very sensitive for pushing where the spot is

Perhaps I am a bit OCD about my phones, but I have dropped my hd2 (unprotected) at least 3 times. One time from about 2 feet onto a rug, and the other two times about 1 foot to the wood table. Now, I have noticed some very fine scratches, maybe cracks in the screen. If it were a crack, should the screen give way to pressure, even if it is very small? I am only asking this because I feel though my next drop will be on pavement.
If you look at your screen in strong sun light at an angle with the screen turned off you will be able to see faint diagonal lines criss crossing the screen as well as a pattern of dots. These are all part of the touch screen and normal. If you have any irregular lines which aren't surface scratches then yes, these could be stress fractures in one of the screen layers.
Slight pressure shouldn't make them crack but they won't get any better, especially if you keep dropping it. Get a case, or some really strong glue to stick the phone to your hand!
Looks like the digitizer has been damaged from your accidental drops.
Keep an eye on it and if functionality stops working then the whole unit - LCD and digitizer must be replaced.
Good luck
Is there a way to distinguish small scratches from cracks? I can see some light lines from the right of the the phone's screen when in sunlight, starting from the very edge. You would think that most scratches would occur on the screen, where you actually use the phone. And yeah, I just bought an otterbox defender.
I recently got my replacement nexus 4 because my first one was having problem. The only problem is that with the new one that I got has blue lines/squares on the the screen that are very visible especially when the screen is off. I compared it with my first nexus 4 before sending it back and I saw that the lines/squares are a lot more visible on my new device. I was wondering if I should return the new one as well or if this is normal.
Could be due to the screen tech lg used. In-cell touch or zerogap I think. If you're not happy just replace it again. But then again who looks at their phone screen when it's off....
Edit:
"...the screen looks stunning. It's also laminated and uses LG's new "G2" technology which integrates the touch sensor into the Gorilla Glass 2 outer layer, making everything thinner as well as bringing the actual pixels closer to the surface of the display."
-stolen from the verge.
The only concern for me is that the squares are more visible on this device and I feel it might be a problem with the screen.
Also, smudges are a lot more visible on the replacement device.
I guess my device is defective because the lines are visible even when the screen is on. I guess I have to return this device as well.
Hi I bought a new screen off ebay with the frame attached advertised as original not replacement. when I assembled the phone and turned the brightness up I noticed light bleeding from the sides, the top and bottom were perfect. The touch works well, what is the reason for this, is the screen bent near the centre? Is the lg g2 screen a knock off replacement any ideas, btw this Is the second screen I got the first replaced because of the same issue.
My guess would be that it wasn't installed properly. When I did my first attempt at replacing a screen on my HTC, there was light bleeding because I didn't use enough adhesive around the new screen. After I bought additional adhesive and performed the screen replacement the 2nd time, it was flawless and there were no gaps
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i don't think it's that it is seems as though the screen is bent around the middle, like it's bending out. the top and bottom of the phone attach completely fine.
Replacing screen on LG G2.
I ordered a LG G2 LCD digitizer pre-installed in a frame assembly off ebay and un-assembled my broken LG G2 and then re-assembled it in the new LCD/digitizer frame and everything works well, except for the fact that when I tilt the screen to the left or to the right, I can see light bleeding out near the sides. Here are some pics of the screen bleeding. It looks like the side of the frame is not attached well enough.

To try and fix this problem I took a guitar pick and lifted up the screen a bit and used a tiny pin to apply some loctite go2 glue (recommended by someone on youtube) on the sides and used C-Clamps to clamp the screen to the frame, but when I took off the clamps (after 24 hrs) I could still see some light bleeding through, not as bad as before but it was still there.
I plan on buying a new screen without the frame attached and trying again. The question is what should I use to get the edges of the screen to stick to the frame? Super glue? Rubber cement? Rubber sealant? Epoxy?
Any help is appreciated.

can you post the link of the seller you bought the new lcd/digitizer from? my screen is cracked and the top 1/4 is unresponsive, i just want to know exactly what to buy!
ive been watching youtube videos and one person used double-sided tape and wrapped it around the edges of the phone.
Hello /u/Silent-Scope
So my friend gave me his old sgs5 for free because it is missing the battery and back plate, both of which i ordered off amazon and are arriving later today, i have a question about the amoled panel
the glass of the digitizer is flawless, no cracks to be seen whatsoever and is very smooth and scratch free to the touch; however, inside on what i can assume only to be the amoled panel itself, (unless there is another thin layer of glass between the GG3 and amoled display , which i am not sure of) on the very top right corner and about 1.5-2mm in, there is a small hairline fracture that cuts the corner, also, there is a very small fracture of the same type on the top of the panel about two-thirds of the way to the left that extends roughly 1.5-2ish-mm down the screen, but ends without cutting back to the edge of the screen.
my question is this; When i recieve the battery and back plate today in the mail, will i put it together only to find that i get no video on the amoled at all? or simply black screen except for that tiny cut-off corner on the top right, as from what i can tell that is where the main video ribbon connects?
the phone has been -somewhat- manhandled, as there are a couple fractures in the glass over the camera and some indentations on the plastic chrome ribbon that encompasses the device on the corners from what i can only assume are drops. Otherwise the device looks to be in perfect working order, and i cannot imagine that it has sustained enough impact trauma to actually hurt anyone on the mainboard if the gg3 screen itself is flawless with no blemishes.
thanks for your time, any insight is much appreciated.

There is a big chance of that happening...
I have an S3 mini screen here that is in almost perfect condition, except for a tiny fracture in the AMOLED panel very similar to yours, and the whole display doesn't turn on.
