I get this randomly and I'm damned if I can't get a screen shot of it. But every once in a while when changing screens in the browser more so on things like XDA forum. The text goes blurry like it zooms a bit. But it happens so fast and without warning I can't get a screen shot. Also I found while typing in text boxes like xda or Facebook comments the cursed randomly jumps to the start of the post. Causing you to type over the first words in post. Anyone else have these?
I've noticed the first issue on mine. It appears when I scroll a website that has some funky flash in it (like an advert or something). It fuzzes the text for less than a second.
Do you have a dock? If so, the second issue could be that you brushed the touchpad while typing. If not, then I have no idea.
I have noticed that the browser acts funny until a webpage is fully loaded. Then it behaves well. And some pages can look fully loaded but there could be one section (like an add or image) that is not yet complete.
yeah i think it's an ics thing, i doubt it a glitch but it is much better then checkerboard
Hi Everyone,
So I have noticed with my new S3 that when I do certain things my screen colours are change. For instance if I am watching a movie using there new picture on the home screen thing and then I set it back to full screen and rotate the screen and then put it back on the home screen the text in my text messages is all screwed up and has a white border around all the text. As soon as I close the video this issue resolves it self.
Would this be a hardware or software issue and can any of you please try this for your self.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Can some of you S3 owners please do the following.
1: Load up a video with the default player.
2: Use the picture and picture feature.
3: Then return the video to full screen by tapping on the small video.
4: Then rotate the screen with the video playing to full screen.
5: Then return the video to the PnP mode and load up your text messages.
You should see your text has a white haze around all of the text.
Can someone please confirm.

Your phone comes with an LCD test menu. You could use that to check for any issues on that front.
Following instructions from The SGS3 Indian FAQ and Discussion Thread could help you out. Thanks to Bala_gamer
* Enter the dialer and input the following code "*#0*#, it will give you a set of options to test the mobile.
* The same lcd test menu can be used for testing the tint issues, the main menu of the lcd test should look white rather than pinkish white or warmer white. you can either decide it yourself by your eyes or compare it with another AMOLED screen.
* Black dots are present on almost all AMOLED panels with varying intensity. Its not an issue. But if you still want to check for lesser dots take your mobile to pitch dark environment and load a complete black wallpaper, once your eyes get setlled to the environment look over the scrren. you will notice those spots.
I hope this tells you where the problem is. Lemme know if it works.
Hi,
Thanks for the information I tried it and everything looks good. I went down to my local Optus dealer today and I could replicate the same issues with the pebble blue handset they had on display. It seems to me it's a software issue.

Well, what do you know. You were right!..Never would've even thought of that, come to tell you the truth. I'm afraid I'm completely out of my depth here. I've faced the same issue. Try posting the question in the forum I posted in my previous reply. The admin should be able to figure it out. I'll second your post.

Done http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753027
Thank you very much for confirming.
First of all, I'm new to Android phones and this forum I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, if not, let me know.
I've purchased a Cubot One, knowing what I can expect and it really works fluently, but it comes with an issue, annoying sometimes.
Left half of the screen flickers (in a very exact way, just left half), depending on what it's showing. For example, desktop 1 shows the wallpaper and icons flickering, but if you go to desktop 2 that effect disappears. It never happens in an open app, except if it's showing a bitmap or icon, and not always. If you're in the block screen it never happens. If you're using, let's say, Whatsapp app the screen is perfect, and in most of apps.
I make a complain to the seller and waiting for their diasnogtic, but I thing it could be a software issue, so I'm writing here. Could anybody make any suggestion?
Thanks
Got it quite a few times now. I cant knock on, second screen wont scroll. Turn screen on cant unlock. Have to toggle on and off a few times or just leave it alone for a while and try again.. It doesnt respond to touches at all. Anyone else?
It's happened to me a few times as well, usually when my alarm is going off so it's doubly annoying because i can't hit snooze. I usually end up pulling the battery out for a second, but I really hope they're working on a fix for this.
I just noticed this problem today as well.
I have the AT&T model.
The top left corner of the screen (right below the double cameras) was not responsive at all until I restarted the phone.
Not sure what caused this issue.
The top left off The screen has been unresponsive a number of times. A restart works for a few hours. Then it stops working again...

I'm having an issue with the touch screen in the corners. Top left and bottom right are unresponsive at times, rendering the backspace button on my keyboard useless from time to time, and also won't let me start chrome from my home screen (my rightmost icon in the bottom row). On the top left, it prevents me from hitting the back button in gmail and other apps. Super annoying.
I didn't see any articles about it or find the unresponsiveness noted in any other reviews, have had the phone about 2 months now. I'm also not sure if recalibrating the screen would help since that is not in the default settings (maybe it is In the hidden menu?)
I have the T-Mobile V10.
Are any of you guys using Nova Launcher?
This started happening to me as well. I thought it was an issue with giving Nova Launcher root permission however the issue came back. There is a thread on the reddit as well with people having the same issue. I've been in contact with T-Mobile as well as LG. I'll update if I find anything else.

Could we include carrier and what launcher, even if it's stock.
I ask because there's got to be a common denominator and I'm guessing it's going to be a combo - and with more info we'll be able to figure out the issue.
It can only help.
I just had this for the first time and only once during typing in whatsapp. I'm using a whatsapp mod.
which i believe is the cause for mine. i had to click the power button and then turn it on again to work, after that no problem anymore.
Same problem. I have the Verizon lg v10 stock. The left too corner under the cameras goes dead and won't respond until I reboot. After reboot all is fine for a few hours, then boom, it happens again.
I thought it was an issue with just my phone cuz I couldn't find anything about it, went to Verizon for the 14 day worry free guarantee, got a brand new one out of the wrapper, all was fine for a day, then same issue.
Same issue here. The upper left corner of my screen will become unresponsive at times and the only thing to fix it is a reboot. I have AT&T stock V10.
Not just an LG issue.
I have a ZTE ZMAX. In the last few days it is doing the same thing. The dead spot in the top left follows the rotation of the screen. I have done a factory reset and problem returned. Seems like its a problem for many phones. It happens with the original launcher and Zeam launcher as well. It would be great if someone figured this out.
I have the same issue with my verizon v10, i have not found out the cause but i did find something that works for me. I reset my app preferences in application manager and everything went back to normal and no issues since. Hope this helps
@jstringn1 thanks for the info I'll try it out.
Honestly it's sounding like and android issue.
Hopefully Google addresses it soon.
SAME. Just bought the V10 on Sunday and I've already noticed the same thing; the upper left hand side of the screen is unresponsive. It seems to ONLY be for certain things though. Stupidly I rebooted to fix it before I fully tested that theory, but I think it's only with certain things. For example, when I open GoogleMaps, I can't hit the "Menu" button in the top right hand side. But if I close the app and go to a screen where I have an App in that same corner, tapping on it seems to open it right up. I hope that info helps to troubleshoot....because I'm ready to take this phone back....but not before I post my review on my YouTube channel.
@jstring I just tried your suggestions. Seems to be ok thus far, but I'll check back in with you all later to let you know if the issue has come back. Because a reboot fixes too...but only temporarily. We'll see.

Did you go to Settings -> Device -> Apps -> Downloaded -> More Options (three dots) -> Reset app preferences?
If so, I tried this , but the top left corner of the screen is still unresponsive.
I also completed reset my phone to factory. No Nova launcher or anything else.
Really puzzled here.....
New findings:
Every time when I open the LG music app (the purple one that came preinstalled), it will trigger the issue. (Please try this on your phone and post your findings )
same issue here
the bttom right is not responsive
and i need to restart it every now and then
i am using it without any mods
but
any one would relate this issue with the latest update as as far as i remeber it showed only after the software update
my software version is
V10 ame xx
I think it started happening after I got the AT&T update. Didn't think it was related, since Verizon V10 has the issues too.
Same here
Verizon
stock
Nova Launcher
Top left unresponsive, follows on rotate
Reboot fixes for a few hours

Did your phone get an update from Verizon recently?
v10 AT&T, has the issue. Using NOVA Launcher. Willing to change launchers if I can use that back button.
For the last two days I noticed that I have another screen under my main screen. I dont know how to explain, but its almost like my main screen is see through and I see another layer under it. Everytime I browse or open anything with white screen you can clearly see another layer. Its appears to be large bar on the left side of the screen and 3 buttons on the bottom of the screen (mic, record and idk the third one) I dont know how to post screenshots here, I took couple and would like to post them along with my post, but Im newbie here and cant seem to find attach button anywhere
My phone is Unlocked Galaxy note 8 SM-N950U1
Solution. Update! Found problem
It turns out its my google navigation burned into the screen. I downloaded Burn Test app and looked at icons closer and realized its from Google Maps wilhich I use all day as I am a truck driver. Image of the map just burnt in. Looks like there is no fix for that other than replacing device
