i want to know that cuz my warranty is replacing the device not fixing it !
so i want to know if there is any way to know if they changed the screen or not ??
thanks alot guys on advance
First thing I would do is see if the blue tint problem is fixed. I imagine you will be able to do that easily.
If there is no blue tint problem you will be happy, yes?
Not sure what your asking since your phone is being fixed under warranty for free.
Edit: ok read your post again and you want the phone replaced not fixed. Maybe you could check if the phone has the same serial number and ime??

if they changed the screen the serial number and ime will still be the same right ? ?
so any other way to see if they replaced the screen
Just call them and ask...I'm not sure why would they go all the trouble of replacing the screen and then lie about it.

is there any way to know if my device have been opened and changed the screen ?
what is the duration of your phone on their hand? if less than 1 day, hard to believe they can change the LCD so fast.

hello user xda atrix
i want to know this is software or hardware problem?
how to fix it
sorry my broken english
http://postimage.org/image/6kner15dh/
probably this is hardware issue. Try to flash stock rom via RSD and check this problem again
If it's the dots you are talking about... do as the first guy said then... 1. If you have warranty still or something along those lines then contact motorola. 2. Pay for screen replacement services. 3. Replace the screen yourself (you only need to buy either the digitizer or the LCD) If you do not know the difference between them then don't attempt a self replacement! I have done it myself, it is not for someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

not the dots but the black area ,the dot is working fine,not working is straight black area
This is hardware problem.
You need to exchange the screen as well.
Guys finally my Atrix too suffering from touch issues, dead spots on the screen, 2-3 touch points on screen, sleep/wake restores touch temporarily.... Since this phone is not released in my country India, most service centers refused to take this phone to repair I finally decided to buy the digitizer and give it to them! bought the following item

Now i'm little confused, is this the thing to be replaced ??
Thanks :angel:
Looks like it.

Hi I bought a s3 in white and my condition is getting worse day after day I was wondering if its possible to change the colour from white to black or brown the reason I'm asking is that I want to know if someone has done it and if its possible and safe to do it. My warranty has expired and I have no problem opening my phone most likely I'm gonna get it done from a shop

it is possible if you want to break open to device. from what I understand it is quite difficult though as e.g. the glas & frame & below levels are all glued together. search on youtube for videos.

Possible. But u might just spoil ur fone if u dun know how to do it. And warranty obviously will be voided. Wat do u mean by ur condition is getting worse?
Can any one confirm if they are seeing a bleeding effect at the bottom of the phone lcd panel. Overall the lcd panel of this phone is really bad. Comparing it to my OP2 and the illumination of the panel is too low. Anybody else with the same issues? I have put up a pic of the issue. Updated images of comparison with OP2 (In each pic POCO F1 is the at the top and OP2 at the bottom.)
Update 10/09/2018
First up my apologies for being away for the past 3-4 days. I have been trying to solve the issues with the phone and then over the weekend was caught up in some personal stuff. I thought of updating my original post rather than putting up a new one as this whole thing has come to a conclusion for me. So just a small recap, I bought the phone on 29th AUG in the first flash sale. Received the phone on 31st AUG as soon as I started the phone I found the bottom chin had a weird illumination. After a few days as the issue persisted checked online and found that the LCD panel suffered from light bleeding issues. I just headed here and created this thread and put in a request on Flipkart for a replacement. After that here is what followed.
04.09.2018 - Return requested
05.09.2018 - Got a call from Flipkart that a Technician will visit to check the device and same will be completed by 08.09.2018
07.09.2018 - Technician visited my place and checked the phone, he accepted that there was an issue however he mentioned that it is difficult to observe and explain the issue to his seniors. He however took a pic of the problem so I was hopeful that a replacement would be provided.Late evening I got a SMS that tech visit was completed, I checked the Flipkart app and it said Replaced Rejected. WTF!!!! There was Return option so selected that and the reason I selected was quality issues with product. Was surprised to see that refund request was accepted and someone would pick the package the next day.
08.09.2018 - Courier guy came to pick the package. Since I have kept the back stickers with the bar code and stuff I had just everything back as I had received it. The courier dude was acting smart and since I had already left for work he tried bullying my Mom saying the phone is not working asking what the issue was, me Mum just asked him to shut up check the package had everything and take it like he is supposed to. After checking everything and making sure all accessories are there the courier person took the package. I got a message that package was picked and refund initiated and credit will show up in my account in 3 business days.
10.09.2018 - Credit received :victory:
Regarding the Issue
First - This is not a fatal issue and as far as I know LCD bleeding does not increase with time however this is a hardware issue so if you are holding on thinking some software update is going to fix this, then sorry you are wrong.
Second - I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument simply because everyone is paying the same amount of money but having different experience (We can see from pics posted by users that for some the problem is obvious and for some it is minimal and hardly noticeable)
Third - If you have this issue and it doesn't bother you then I would say go ahead and enjoy the phone. If you noticed this after checking this thread then I am sorry
Fourth - I would strongly recommend that people buy this phone taking Replacement/Refund policies of the merchant that is selling the phone into consideration. Guys that have purchased this from Mi website directly and want a replacement are having a tough time and am not sure if Mi website even has a refund policy. For Indian users get this from Flipkart and not Mi website, for other countries make sure Replacement/Refunds are provided in case you want to avail the same.
Final Thoughts -
I though the POCO F1 had great potential to take over from OnePlus as a budget flagship alternative however they messed up. If the POCO team had spent a little more time and may be resources on QA ,Software optimization (bugs in MIUI, bad implementation of curved corners, multi touch issues, etc) and may be a better name {POCO I mean seriously!!! } this phone would have been a serious contender.
Conclusion
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this thread and responded with pics for a comparison. Since I don't have the phone anymore I don't think it would be right for me to post here anymore. I just put a new battery in my OP2 so going to wait for some time and see what the Pixel's gonna be like or the OP6T maybe.
Looks fine to me on my POCO F1.
Yes buddy, I have it too... I verified with 2 other poco f1's

Yup this is how it is supposed to be. A google search revealed quite a few Indian users have reported this and Indonesian units too are suffering from this. Do you have the Indian unit or a global one? Also what configuration have you got?

This is so screwed up. I bought the phone coz I liked the Redmi Note 5 Pro I got for my dad. Poco screen looks bad when comparing side by side with Redme Note 5 Pro. Even brightness levels are horrible on Poco screen looks really dim at the same level as RN 5 Pro.

Yes will post an update. The person to check and pickup the phone will come on Saturday. Some guy on reddit mentioned that even the replacement has the same issue but I guess I have to give it a shot. :fingers-crossed:

Well that just sucks. When did you get the replacement? I raised a request on the 5th of Sept coz I felt maybe a diff lot may not have the issue. Its funny coz some units dont have this issue (like the one posted here). I guess its like 6 out of 10 are reporting this.

All the best for your refund mate hope they process it without hassels. The pblm with this issue is that some people just say it looks okay. Best way to reproduce is to open Chrome blank page and press and hold Power off button till the power off options come up and check the bottom if it shows a halo effect.
Let us know how the refund goes it should help others in making a decision. Curious thing is not a lot of people complaining about this like the boot loader issue.

From what I've seen people are using the navigation buttons and not full screen mode... because of that they are not able to notice it...
Will update here how the refund goes ?

I guess you are opening chrome in "Incognito" mode. The effect is visible on white backgrounds I guess if you just download a white image in full screen it should show up as well. Have no info on the service mode however some one having this issue posted on twitter regarding a display test you can do.

P.S. I went back to my old device so I havent tried the steps mentioned in the tweet.
could you please explain about the issue, i'm not understanding the problem... I mean I do see a bit white color in power options screen but I don't understand the issue with this.

A bit of inconsistent brightness levels are expected with LCD panels however with the POCO F1 quite a few people are facing LCD bleed that is very notice able. If the inconsistency is minimal and some thing you can live with then its alright. For me it has been bothering me from day one as soon as I switched the phone on. I mainly use my phone for watching videos and the effect sometimes is more pronounced and that bothers me hence I have asked for a replacement.
