A while back ago I received a G1 (Which was my favorite Android @ the time) with a broken digitizer. I was going to replace the digitizer shortly after having it unlocked. But I ran across a friend who bought an Aria off of Craigslist, who needed a T-mobile (Or unlocked) phone. So I traded my buddy my G1 for an Aria with a broken LCD. I ordered the LCD (Screwdrivers & such) off of ebay, and replaced the LCD shortly after. I didn't really have any problems doing so. But I've started to notice that it seems as if the screen / digitizer doesn't really fit down all the way. If you catch my drift. Like, Sometimes I can push the corner of the screen (Where the LED is) and it sets back down, but arises again. Would this be something that I did wrong, or maybe I need a new adhesive strip (so to say) to put back around the digitizer? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
_Edit_ The performance of the digitizer nor the LCD are affected. Its more so my personal preference to have it back in the right spot I guess you could say, for resale to upgrade. (Which is pretty consistent)
Same Issue
HI! I have the same issue with my Aria!
I noticed when I was replacing mine that the adhesive part you mentioned seemed "not so sticky anymore." When I take the back off and look at the corner that stick up slightly, there is no sticky at all there. I assume that's the problem. I just leave mine as is. But if there was a simple fix, I would love to know!
Hope
Actually, almost all arias do that (to some extent) after a couple of weeks. I noticed it shortly after I purchased mine. It's probably a design flaw, or just a bad design in my opinion.
The sticky tape must just break down overtime.
Just a theory...

Well. Bummer. It would make sense that it is a possible design flaw. Everything has something wrong with it. Oh well. Guess I'll just roll with it until I trade this off for something else. Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.
I have carried my aria in my pocket, no case, for almost a year. No sign of separation from the base at any corner. I don't think separation is a normal condition from regular use. Maybe need new "stick down" stuff.

+1. Ive also never had any issues with the build quality of my Aria. Ive seen enough issues posted in the forums to know that there had to be certain batches of Arias that were just poorly made. This little thing has been through quite a bit (working on construction sites) and it still looks like the day I bought it with the exception of a scratch in the corner of the back cover (I do use a screen protector). Nothings loose, nothings worn out, nothings ever broke.
Had phone since the Sunday it was released...screen has developed a crack at the bottom, just above the capac. buttons going completely across the screen.
Everything still works fine, but is obnoxious to look at.
Heres the thing... (and I know people will doubt this) but I haven't dropped the phone at all. Not even set it down roughly. This morning, everything was normal...went to go to work and put it in my bag by itself (correction - only other thing in there was a book and a wool hat). Got to work, took my phone out and BLAM, crack stretching from one side to the other. No marks around the bumpers or anything. I'm completely nonplussed at what could have happened. My thinking is flex *could* have done this, but that seems like it'd need a hell of a lot of pressure to do.
Well, ATT won't cover it, samsung won't cover it and the quoted repair cost is $200. Deductible for ATT phone insurance is...you guessed it...$200 (or $250 can't remember).
Anyone have any luck with these flybynight screen repair shops? I don't think they'd have the parts in stock for the phone since it is new and kind of a fringe product.
I'm seriously pissed...hung around with my iphone 3g for 3 years waiting for a good phone to upgrade to..finally blow my upgrade and a week later blam.

I called Samsung on the phone and they told me it wouldn't be covered under warranty... I did explain to them that it hadn't been dropped or anything. Should I call and pester them again?

I would take it to a different AT&T location and see if they'll replace it. Sounds like you got a rubbish device. I can't imagine they would replace it, as long as it's obvious it hasn't been dropped.

Some photos of the damage/device, I have more of just about every angle. I cannot find *any* indication of external damage which makes sense, but still the screen is jacked.
I bet the book fid that. That happened to our recrptionist to her iphone. A book in the back pack. She is a college studemt.

A paperback book could do that? Thats actually very concerning to me as a consumer. I'm extremely cautious with my electronics (ask my wife, she will eyeroll ) and to have something like this occur without any strenuous contact being made with the phone is appalling.
First Samsung phone, and unfortunately will most likely be my last. It looks and operates flawlessly and was exactly what I wanted... but I can't for the life of me see spending that kind of money on something that can essentially break through such light use.

buy a replacement from ebay and fix it yourself. shouldnt be too difficult, I have replaced my iphones and my sensations screen and they pretty much were the same
I tried looking on ebay for a replacement, but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing...
can you share a link?
After calling just about every ATT store in town and explaining the problem, I found one willing to exchange it for a new one no questions asked.
I'm still worried about the durability of the phone since nothing major occurred that should cause this amount of damage. Hopefully I just had a defective screen or something and this one will last me a long, long time.
i carry my note in my pocket (I'm a big guy) it rides in the front pocket all day was case-less for the first week i mean i worked played and goofed off with it there can't even tell. i think u just got a bad glass display it is mass produced product and defects do happen.
I myself was very impressed with the build quality of the phone how sturdy it felt despite its lack of depth. So i'd just be aware and keep ur books away from it
should probably just start storing my books on the damn thing

Im guessing you just had a faulty screen. Gorilla glass can take some serious pressure, and is even pretty damn good at shock resistance. I've dropped my old captivate and infuse countless times without a case and never cracked a screen. Hell, last summer my captivate took a kick from a full grown horse when it was in my pocket, and the screen survived. The hoof hit the back of my captivate, bent the backplate and battery, but the screen was fine. It saved me from a huge bruise, that's for sure.
I think you will be fine with a new device, because it sounds like a faulty screen. Don't let one faulty Samsung ruin Samsung for you forever. They make great devices, and their screens are matched by none. Other manufacturers are just as likely do have a defective device, you just got really unlucky with your first note.

I have already dropped my note face down on a corner (it was in a speck case and had a clear screen protector on) and knock on wood it was fine. It is very possible that its just a faulty screen. I would pesster the heck out of at&t and samsung til i got a new phone. They will budge you just have to be persistant.

I am anal about my devices also, and the thought of just throwing it in a bag makes me cringe! Always front left pocket for me, no exceptions!

No offense, but if you stuffed your Note in a bag with a book or anything else, you're not really that cautious with your electronics. There's a reason I have never damaged any of my phones or tablets. It's because I don't do things like that.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I "stuffed" it in a bag. The bag in question was a messenger style bag with separate internal pockets, phone was in one, book in the other. Book was a paperback (you can actually see it in my photos) about 200 pages thick.
UPDATE:
Second phone screen cracked. Top of screen near the front camera. Had it less than 24 hours - took it back and they exchanged it again with no issues.
Got it at around 4pm, took it home, put it in case (SGP) and put it to charge, went to the gym and then came home and did some programming for a few hours before bed. Phone stayed on charger the whole time. Next morning I put (note: did not "stuff") the phone into my right front pocket of my jeans (normal jeans, not skinny or anything). It was the only thing in the pocket, had a wallet in my back right pocket and some disposable eye contacts in my left front pocket. Walked about 3 blocks to a lecture checked email on the phone - no crack. sat with it in the pocket (front right) for about an hour and a half, then got up and walked home. Got home took the phone out...crack! About an inch long from the very edge of the glass towards the middle of the phone.
I can't make this stuff up. Took it to the store and they replaced it for me again. Manager said something about maybe they got tussled around during shipment or packing.
Both cracked were white devices. The phone I have now is a black one.
I'm trying to think of reasons why this could have occurred twice. First time could possibly have been from being in the bag, but I wasn't throwing the bag around or anything like that. Second time? Who knows... if walking with a phone in your pocket causes it to break...
I am super thankful that I found a store willing to do the exchanges, and I do love this phone...but what the heck!
Well, after being fairly sure-handed with phones, I dropped my Rezound on a tile floor and the screen has cracked in multiple places. Now, it should be noted that the picture is still fine, and the touch screen still works. Unfortunately, I don't have insurance because as I stated, I'm very good with phones. At this point though, I've come up with a couple different options. Potentially replacing the screen (I'm not sure if that's what I want to do because I'm not completely phone hardware savvy, and I don't want to waste money if I can't do it or screw something up), buying a new phone, or putting insurance on the line and sucking it up for a few weeks (not too fond of that, simply because I find that to be kind of a selfish move). I'm leaning towards getting a new phone, but I'm not sure what to do. I absolutely love my Rezound, but I'm a slight flashoholic and development hit a lull, though it's slowly beginning to come back it appears. I don't know if I should get another Rezound, or jump ship and get a GNex or GS3 or something different. Does anyone have any UNBIASED recommendations? Perhaps some direction to lead me in? I'm not looking to bash the Rezound or anything of the sorts. I love my phone, I love what the devs have done, and I have zero complaints unlike many others around here. I'm just a sucker for new hardware, and the GS3 just looks so tempting minus a few things.
TL;DR - Cracked screen, don't know if I should attempt to replace screen or get a new phone entirely (and which phone at that) or put insurance and wait to file claim
I would try and replace the screen... its not too hard if you buy the little tape from 3m that is used to adhesive and try to do it in a non dusty area

Yeah I would say try and replace the digitizer as well. Thats about a $30 job
I would put some 3M packaging tape on it for a temporary fix, one strip right down the middle should hold it together and keep you from cutting your finger open until you can have it repaired.

I'm in the EXACT same boat. Was getting a girl's number after the bar closed on Saturday night and she accidentally knocked it out of my hand. First cracked screen in 13 years of cell phone use. I started doing research and the parts seem cheap enough but the actual repair process seems to be an aggravation. So I'm debating $30 repair or $650 on new phone? The economics say go with a repair, but HTC's also forcing my hand on moving forward from the Rezound (since they don't want to release sources).
Just remember gnex specs are worse. That's all I gotta say.

Well after looking at a video of the repair process, I've decided that $30 is not a huge deal. The worst thing that happens is I screw up the phone beyond repair, at which point I have to get a new one anyway. At that point, what's an extra $30 when you're getting a new phone? The only downside, is there's no phone for a few days. Oh well.

This is completely true, but from a software perspective, there's a lot more development, many more options for flashing, and close to no hassle when it comes to updates. Though I love the latest hardware, and would have likely gone with the GS3.
I just got mine repaired at a place I found online cost me a little over a hundred.

After breakingg mine for the 3rd time,
1st time I didn't crack it, I tore a piece of the connector that attaches to the glass, it disabled about half the screen, I was trying to paint the "red" buttons more red. Highly recommend you don't do this and just deal with it lol. I went to look for a replacement digitizer.
Found some pretty cheap like you guys, and I purchased one. When it came in I realized that it did not come with any kind of adhesive. This was tormenting. It took me about a week to finally get some special 3m "digitizer adhesive" from china. I proceeded to install it and it came out fine.
The following day I noticed that the digitizer was lifting on the left side, and that some dust had seeped up under the digitizer.
I then spent multiple days and hours trying to get the digitizer to stay, I went threw about three different adhesives, nothing had worked long enough.
2nd time I cracked the cheaped digitizer was be sheer force ;p, lol actually it was an accident. I was in the middle of applying adhiseive strips to the digitizer and I must have gotten a bit rough with it because it snapped in my had, I'm a big guy but I have seriously sensitive hands and can control what they are doing (im an artist). So the digitizer was just cheap as hell, because I had dropped the OEM on on cement a few times prior and it didn't even scratch.
So I was pissed and went to look for an OEM digitizer. Found one on eBay, and bought it, turned out not to be OEM, but it actually did look higher quality then the previous one so I kept it, I didnt pay much for it any way, and you will probably not find an OEM digitizer short of buying a new phone.
I had just about given up on trying to keep the screen down, and after so long and and about 5 hours of installing a new adhesive it turned out ok, but I had some light leaking from the left, and had to press the digitizer down to get rid of it, and that helped for about 5 seconds. Other then that it was ok, but I still kept getting damn dust.
3rd time, dropped it on my kitchen tile floor, lol. It was funny to read you dropped it on tile too. That was the end off it, I was no longer going to spend any more money on a damn digitizer.
TL;dr Read, make fun of me, Buy a new phone.
This was also the first time I ever cracked a screen by dropping it.

My phone has developed a digitizer problem in that a vertical strip (approx 15mm) is completely unresponsive, and sometimes the screen goes a bit haywire (continously zooms in when web browsing or in a document). Have tried resetting the phone, and reflashing the ROM, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have any experience when with regards to replacing the digitizer, and would like to share their experiences? I.e. Is there anything which I should be made aware of, such as specific rookie errors? Have looked up some Youtube videos, so I think I'm fairly clued up, but thought I'd call in on the experts before I take the plunge!

They look nice the zenfone that is will have to buy a sd card for it down side no internal memory or atleast none you can use. besides that actually looks very nice. wonder how long before you can buy one right now it says ask dealer about availability so im guessing 3 to 6 months. digitizer $15.00 and then he can sell phone for $50 to $75 dollars if he chooses to later once it finally hits stores
Yeah, but with sd cards being inexpensive (I just got a 8gb class 4 microsd for $50, about U$S10) it isn't really a downside. If you maage to get an replacement for the digitizer, buy it. as overboard says, you can sell the phone at a higher price if you decide to buy another.
OP, I had the same problem, I warn you, once you detach the digitizer from the phone, before you actually remove it, dettach the lcd also, that way, when you must remove the flex and pass it through, the gap will be larger and you wont have to bend the flex, avoiding the risk of damaging it. Digitizer and lcd are meant to be extracted together. Also, be very careful when you detach the digitizer, as dointg it hard can remove the glue strips and let the dust enter the screen. that's what happened to mine, glue strips got broken at the bottom corners, and now the capacitive buttons' light pass thru it, to the screen and dust enters and I can't see sh*t
Thanks guys. From what I've read, most people appear to experience problems either during or after the upgrade, so even though a replacement digitizer should only set me back £15, it could be more hassle that it's worth...
This could be a good opportunity to upgrade
Hello Everyone,
I did a search but I didn't see anyone else posting something about this, but it seems likes my display glass is starting to separate from my phone about halfway down the body. The glass is now a hair higher that the actual plastic body on the left and I can physically push it down and the screen actually shows a wave, like when pressing too hard on an LCD or touching a non-touchscreen. I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue?
I am trying to determine my best option for warranty service as I used the transfer the upgrade trick on VZW and don't want to throw up any red flags. I also want to keep my battery door because I have the wireless charging sticker on it.

Well that's no good! Sorry to hear that, I've not seen anywhere online either where people are having that problem.
As far as your options go though... Not sure you have many. You can either pay someone to replace the screen, if it's repairable and you can find someone.... Or obviously you'd have to just go for the insurance... I'm curious, how would you throw up any red flags if in fact there is something as obviously detected as your screen? I've not done the " upgrade trick " myself so bear with me if that's a silly question.
Well I might be able to get replaced under Manufacturer Warranty as there are no signs of damage. I also do not have insurance on the phone.
I'm having the same problem, the middle left edge of my screen is lifting up (very slightly) as well. Light bleeds through the edge of the screen and the lcd changes color when I press with moderate pressure. I plan on contacting Verizon for warranty support tmrw.
So I spoke to VZW and they told me that the screen lifting off from the bezel is considered a physical defect rather than a manufacturers defect so it is not covered under warranty support. FWIW my phone has not sustained any major drops or any major damage at all...
Do you guys have the qi sticker on yours? Mine does and it's a really tight fit... I was thinking that maybe it could be pushing out the screen
My Verizon LG G3 screen is now separating from the midframe on both sides in the middle of each side. It is up about a 16th of an inch, can be pushed easily back down but doesn't stay. Light leaks from the edges.

I discovered I had a spare sd chip and spare sim stored under my battery. When I removed them both, reinstalled the battery and qi circle case, the light leaking was gone.
Looks like the G3 is pretty flexible and that the display is not glued down except at the corners. If you crowd it in the back, the display can bulge out the front of the frame. This doesn't mean its broken or defective, just tight.

Same thing has happened here on the left hand side only. I must admit I decided to store a spare SIM under the battery and a day or so later noticed a raised edge on the left side of the screen. I immediately realised this must be the case and removed the spare SIM but now the left side it ever so slightly raised, I notice this most when using the phone in the dark/dark areas as light bleeds out along that raised edge.
I may try get a replacement but since this is the second thing that occurred with the LG G3 for me (first was cracked camera lens) I may just come to the conclusion the LG cant cut it against my old Galaxy S3, which is still going without fault all these years. Might just be eyeing up a new S6 sometime in the future.
Just coming here to say that this is also happening to my device, only on the left side, as well.
I am trying to activate the warranty to get it fixed.

Me too.. Gonna see about getting it swapped
Did you guys bought your phone New from the store ? Like Verizon ?
This issues sound like the aftermarket LCD screens sold on eBay. I have bought 3 LCD screens from eBay. For the LG G2 twice and one for the G3. Once installed and a few uses on the phone, parts of the glass lifts up from the LCD and frame. That's cause they're high quality not genuine LG screens... They don't have the good loca glue on the screen.
I am experiencing the same problem. i only bought it in June 2015 and I don't know how that happened because I haven't even dropped it once.
I am thinking to claim the warranty. Because it seems like the glue has come off of it.
Yup. Mine is doing this too now... awesome! Left side as well. This is my 3rd G3 since July 2014 - I'm done with LG.
From what I've seen on other phones, the screen is often held on by some kind of adhesive. Considering this phone gets red hot if you do two things, like talk on the phone and try to web browse (like so hot it's hard to even hold), it probably slowly breaks down the adhesive holding the screen on.
My vs985 display lifts a bit in the middle along both sides, but only when I have a spare sim or sim adapter attached back there with the battery.
Doesn't take much.

Same. Light leaks out the Sides

A solution would be a case that cover that area of the phone. for example:
http://www.amazon.com/G3-Case-Bastex-Heavy-Protective/dp/B00PIYNE7Y/ref=sr_1_12?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1448743612&sr=1-12&keywords=g3+case
It's that Wireless Charging unit in the cover that brings the display up. Notice how the bleeding disappears when you take the cover off.
If you're not big on wireless charging, I suggest you perform operations on your backcover and get that bump out of there.
My LG G3 seemed to be having the same problem as well. It has beeen lifting slightly on both of the long sides and if it is on i can look at the side of the phone and see light escaping from the display. I orginally thought the my screen was somehow bent, but out of curiousity i inspected the back on the phone. In that i found that somehow my battery seems to be pushing my display out of the midframe... When i take the battery out the screen returns to the midframe on its own. When i try to put the battery back in it pokes out slighlty then when i put it in completely the display pops back out slightly on both sides again. I dont know how to fix this issue but if someone could figure it out that would be appericated.

When i try to put the battery back in it pokes out slighlty then when i put it in completely the display pops back out slightly on both sides again. I dont know how to fix this issue but if someone could figure it out that would be appericated.

Have you tried a new battery? Is your battery swollen? Sometimes they get bloated when they go bad.
