How is it a joke? Not too familiar with stuck pixels, are you? It IS possible to unstick them, and this is one way.

Thanks for posting. Anything that won't harm the phone is worth a shot before requesting RMA.

You cannot fix a hardware problem with some app. The pixel is dead meaning you can consider it faulty screen. You really believe that app fixes it for real lol? If so alright good for you, but the rest of people that value the money they spent on this phone, I would recommend doing rma if they have dead pixels because they can increase in number as time passes. Do not feel sorry for lg and google. They make bellions. Keep rma till you feel you get a good unit. People pay premium prices and so should be what they get in return.

the only downside to rma with the nexus 5 is google makes you pay for a new phone, get that new phone and ship it back in the box they send you. not everyone has another $450 to drop on another 32gb model nexus 5
I have a stuck pixel that needs to be fixed. I'll run the app for 30 mins and post up the results in a bit

I ran it for an hour and it did not fix it... it did make it less noticeable though
Just ran it twice, 30mins each time but unfortunately it had no effect on the 1 stuck pixel I have. I'll try it with a few other apps and post up results if anything is successful
Hi
Dead or stuck pixels are faulty pixels. Flashing colours does not fix them, it is snake oil.
What usually happens is the process of running these apps for 30 minutes or so just heats up the display and some faulty pixels have connection faults that fix themselves with the stresses caused by expansion due to the heat. It is the same process that means gentle pressure can sometimes "fix" a faulty pixel if the fault is of a certain type on an LCD monitor. Pressure on mobile phones doesn't work as well as the front glass and display is designed not to flex under the pressure of a finger for obvious reasons.
If you are lucky, a pixel that starts working may continue to work, usually however it will just fail again at some point in the future. These faulty pixels that work for a while are the same ones that appear after an hour, a day or a week of using the phone after you thought you had a perfect screen. The fault was always there.
The best thing if you don't want faulty pixels and find them, is not to try and fix them, but to exchange the phone. Better to exchange it sooner rather than later.
Regards
Phil

Than you for this post. I have a very very small dead pixel in the center of my screen and it really doesn't bother me. I have to adjust my eyes and have a white background to see it.. Would this damage the screen further or do you think it would be fine? I don't want to have to get a replacement lol

It is very unlikely to become any worse, so if you are okay with it no problem, you do not need to worried about more failing.
Generally LCD displays have an allowable number of dead/stuck pixels anyway. This is because otherwise the yield would be much lower as displays would be thrown out putting the price very high. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_pixel

Thanks!! This helped with 3-4 stuck pixels i had. Eventually i'll do an RMA but for the time being it helped.

Than app is quite good indeed, but unfortunately it doesn't support yet the full screen...
So it can't be used to detect dead-pixels which are located at the bottom of the screen.
I suggest you using this one, instead, which supports full-screen and can be used to detect dead-pixels and fix stuck-pixels:
search Perfect Pixel Checker on Google Play, because the board doesn't let me post links yet.

Yes it does. It absolutely will render on the entire screen. You just have to touch the screen & the status & nav bars will hide.
FWIW I did something similar to my 6 year old Apple Cinema HD display and it worked wonders ironing out stuck & burned pixels.
ran for over 12 hours and didn't fix any of the stuck pixels on both the devices I received that were faulty. RMA'ed first, and now waiting for replacement for my other one. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm.
Hi.
Just wondering if this happened to anybody.
I just got a brand new phone and when I cleaned the screen to put a new protector I realized there is a hairline scratch that is seen only when passing the light over it.
Nothing is seen with the protector but I think I should replace it anyway.
What do u think?
Thanks.
I would replace the phone. Who can tell if you really see a "scratch" only or if the glass was stressed during the assembly? What if your screen cracks out of nowhere and you cannot get a refund because Google / Huawei thinks that it´s been your fault?
Yea. Your right.
God dammit. Waited for a week to get this phone and now I have to wait another two weeks for it to be sent back and forth.
Take a picture of the device.
Send it back.

Did you purchase directly from Google? They'll send you an advance replacement unit, then you send the faulty unit back, so you won't be without a phone. I had to go through this process eight times.

Yeah, I've received units all with faulty displays (tinting), a couple with faulty power buttons, and one with a funky CPU. This unit has tinting too but I've realised that I'm not going to get one without it (it's due to the manufacturing process with AMOLED displays), this one isn't quite as bad as the others so I'm not going to take my chances on getting a worse replacement.

Tinting is when the colour is uneven across the display. So when viewing whites or greys you'll have yellow sections/stripes/blotches.

Didn't have that with my screen. Had a scratch though.
I have a few dents around the plastic part at the bottom of the back of the phone and I just kept it even though I also have display issues. I've had the phone for 2 months now, so it's too late to swap anyway
I have lots of white and colored lines on my screen. They disappear when i turn the screen off, and then slowly fade in. Surely this is software?

Wow. It looks like maybe loose connection from screen to system board. Or the device got wet? Try tweaking(twisting) the frame a little to see if it changes at all(better/worse). If it does then probably loose connection.

Hasn't got wet and no change when twisting either. Though switching the screen off and back on clears it for about 30 seconds. Very strange!

Doesn't seem like a hw problem.
Try this:
1- Run a benchmark in loop for 30 minutes to make the device hot. Something like Antutu. This would provoque any underlying heat problem.
2- Set screen off to 30 minutes and leave it idle on to see if screen changes while doing nothing.
3- factory reset the device after backup your data.
My oppinion is it a hardware issue. You can handle it like a software issue and try to fix it but if you don't have time or don't want to experiencing it would be better to bring it back where you bought it.

ok, its come to light now. My five year old has confessed he knocked it off of a table. Makes sense now, however the table is just over half a metre high.It would have falllen onto a wooden floor. Warranty seems unlikely.
I must say though i'm surprised it has caused this damage. My wife's Moto G was thrown by my five year old onto tarmac and the Moto G is absolute fine. I'd like to buy the Honor 8 again as I really like it, though I feel I would be stupid to buy another if they are a delicate as this. Be warned.... Don't have kids!

The Huawei/Honor offers 3 month screen warranty (but only one time) for accidents as well. Link: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/uk/vipservice/index.html
Yes call them quickly so you can send it back for repair/replacement. And get a good case!

No point in contacting them on Facebook, I've spoken to their help desk. UK not covered. It's with them for repair. Guess they will send me a bill. Loo! After your honor 8 guys. I've done the drop test and it sadly isn't durable. I really liked this phone. More than my Galaxy s7 edge, but tough to buy again knowing it can't survive a small drop.

Anyone having issues with ghosting on there v20?? Any fix if so r is it Rom related. In on vs995 weta Rom 5.0.7 7.0
I'm starting to have issues with image retention on mine.
I'm stock unrooted.
I wonder if this is covered under warranty.. it's not super annoying but still.
I am having a curious issue with the second screen. Under bright light or sunlight, the top right corner of my screen starts to flicker. Well, the brightness increases and decreases. At the beginning quite slowly and then at a higher pace. However, when I'm indoors it doesn't seem to happen, or at least not too foten.
I've tried with and without automatic brightness. I have also tried installing Lux and the issue still persists.
What I realised is that the flickering comes from the backlight of the second screen, and if I disable it, problem solved. I might Have to give it a hard reset and hope is not a hardware problem.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I posted something similar a while ago on this topic. On my left side of the screen I could see what seemed to be screen burn or something. It would be a yellowish tint that would display the keyboard and part of a screen from the app. But it seemed to be the same app everytime. I never found a solution, I had to turn the phone in for a different reason. The ffc just stopped working and would freeze my phone up.

I haven't tried to take the phone to see if it can be fixed, but I have done some research and after reading many posts of people having either the G4,V10 and V20 most have been honored under warranty having their screens replaced but the problem comes back, some people claim having their screens more than one time.
I think I can live with it.. I don't wanna risk having the phone scratched or damaged somehow by the person making repairs (I like to keep my phones in mint condition) and I have a Huge OCD problem lol
I think joining XDA is an indicator of having a degree of OCD
Although I'd class mine as low I'd not be happy with the retention exhibited in those pics.
Thankfully my V20 hasn't presented any inherrent problems so far, just the odd temporary ones that happen when modding, but they're soon remedied.
Since @emdroidle gave us root for the H990ds its been great having the chance to open it up and explore more of its potential.

As far as I've read this is just a quirk of these LCD screens that LG uses on their phones. It should go away pretty quick as the only time mine shows up like that is when the screen brightness is all the way or very bright for like 5 or 10 minutes. Mine goes away after 5 or 10 minutes.

I was looking into the Warranty as well and just read that it can take up to 4 weeks to inspect and repair a unit, so no mobile for maybe 4 weeks or more and I'm not even sure they will accept the retention as a fault of the mobile itself, but give me the blame for it as there are some minor surface scratches from normal daily use.
So it seems the warranty is pretty much to the bin and reading stories from others about sending there phones with issues does not really make me want to send it back either. Who knows how long, and if declined giving me the blame, what a waste of time it has been. feel like iv Wasted enough time already.
They told me to make a full factory reset, which would of cause not solve the issue at all as I already knew - but I did it and sent the video of the retention afterwards - then I was told to look for scratches and I send them a video and 2 pics of what I could find and now being pointed out that maybe if they find out it is from damage that it just might be send back. Damage... Got to give me a break.
I'm not even sure what they would do with it if they accept the fault - would they begin to toy around with it or would they send me a new phone out of the box.
Is it worth it or not... I'm thinking...
For a +500 Euro phone - retention/ghosting should not happen and yet it does. First phone I ever experiences this issue.
I think I'm on the Whine wagon at the moment, sorry guys - just a little annoyed.

I did ended up replacing my phone, not under LG warranty though I paid 60 bucks to Sprint to get it swapped. I thought it was better than sending out my phone to LG and wait weeks..
Convenience was the what made me toss the 60 bucks for a new unit.
Though a month later I switched to T-Mobile and upgraded to the V30+
They paid the rest of my installments with Sprint which was half the cost of 2 V20's and also got to keep them.
I use my V20 as a multimedia device now.

Nice - seems like I'm not going to get much from the warranty on the screen issue and still not sure if I should send it back as I'm afraid they do something stupid to it. Well, if my phone melted down at some point I would still buy an V20 in replacement. Battery and SD card is just a win for me even with all the phones faults. Just so sad that LG did not fix a better screen for the V20 in regards of getting Ghosting/Retention.
Anyway - I just tried one of the fixes I found without jail breaking the phone and it does help a little but far from solved the issue at all. I have ghosting/retention all over the screen now and most likely just going to get worse over time as it has from the beginning of it.
I think the image retention is a bug. It randomly happens on mine. At first I thought it was a crappy screen but then it went away. It will even show dark image retention like using xda. And most of my retention around the inside 1/4 of the screen.

Sadly did not work here. Still have ghosting. 20% won't do either - il try 30%.
Ok I was getting ghosting which has been getting worse and wore the past month but in the past 2 weeks its been getting really bad on both displays, ontop of that my phone was dying in 20-25% range and going up to 100% charge just to drop like 10 minutes later to like 50% probably just the battery idk
I sent my phone in and here is what they marked on the warranty page
Symptom: Software failure
Repair: Download new software
I honestly hope they don't think its because I wasn't on the latest version of android because I kept putting it off or i'm gonna be pissed, especially since my warranty ends 3/18/2018 and these 2 issues have slowly been getting worse.

so is this an LG LCD specific issue ? I am just curious when I switch phones should I consider AMOLED / OLED or stick with LCD but maybe a different vendor ?

The culprit behind this is low contrast with high blue-output or cooler color temperature. If you are rooted, you can easily tone down the blue channel by a count of 20 (out of 256) and all is good. Also you don't have to use the phone as maximum brightness all the time, the screen itself is way too bright even for the least level.
2ndly, this ghosting is temporary and develops over time of use. It goes away for LCD.
OLED screens suffer from the permanent ghosting aka burn-in, though its coming over time is delayed by quality and improvement of the manufacturing process. Honestly, OLED's have higher saturation, more vibrance, higher contrast which makes them appeal to human eye but it comes at a cost.

Oh cool. thanks for explaining that! I am not rooted... 1. too nervous of causing issues after root .. 2. mine isn't rootable (on most recent security patch)..
so is there anything I can do to help with the blue output?

yeah that seems to be what i've read too... I just typically keep my phones for a while and burn in or ghosting worries me...
This is what has happened to my screen all of a sudden.
It works well at rare times while at 90-100% battery and most of the time it has this issue at particular levels of brightness.
Also the screen color has become totally dull, only at rare times its proper
Also notice the flickering of screen after locking the device.

Your oled panel is bad, to prevent it from getting worse find a spot where the screen looks normal and leave it there turn off auto brightness and pray it stays good. I repair phones for a living and it's about $299.99 USD for an oled replacement. If you're still under warranty, start a claim with Samsung.

Yeah it's still bad, I've changed at least 20 faulty oled screens out of warranty so far.

If your phone fell in water and u used it before , yes.
If you use ur phone while its wet inside the phone develops corrision wich damages ur parts
