I got mine 2 days ago and every once in a while when i hit the power button to turn on the display the screen tears, it mostly happens on the lockscreen but its been on the mainscreen too. plus i dont know if there is a dead pixel but there is a pixel that is kinda dimmed. what do you guys recommend me to do ? i have no problem with the gps or wifi issues (dont care for gps and mostly gonna use it to take notes in class)
Is this software related or the display panel acting up ?

Exchange it. Someone posted a similar picture to yours in a thread I made, but I didn't have that issue.

It is software problem. If it was a hardware one you the screen would like different. Am sure of it. Try hard reset or even wipe all date and make fresh start - you can do this in preferences.
I've just noticed three specs of dust behind the glass in a line, right in the middle of the screen. They weren't there before today.
I can only imagine the dock port, speaker grille and screen panel aren't properly sealed, allowing dust into the chassis. Infuriating. Once you see them, you can't un-see them.

Well why am not surprised at all? I had the same problem with TF101. The only thing you can do is to send Prime for a fixing. And it will take even few weeks...
And one more thing. The dust you see does not came from outside. This dust was already inside but it has moved. Yeach... the same story like I had 6 months ago...
It is a factory defect.

I dont know why it is with these newer model phones, but just from the suggestion posts that came up when i entered the title of this thread, but My LGOT and i guess even the G2 have an issue where dusts starts to build up under the sceen....
Ive only had my phone for a little over 2 weeks, but even after the first couple days, i noticed that there were already a few trickles of dirt right around the middle of my screen.
I guess my main question is, is there anything i can do about this, has anyone had the same troubles, and what can we do to prevent this from happening?
In Thailand this is general problem of LG Optimus One
you should contact LG Customer support
they'll open your phone and blow dust out
if dust cause touchscreen malfunction they'll change new one for you
some people guess that dust already in the phone due to assembly process from factory
some guess maybe dust go through usb port
I have my phone since 2 days and i already have a dust spot in the lower right corner. This is annoying! If this spot is growing i will contact the costumer support.

I am working on dusty area, but no dust under screen. Phone is 1 month old.
Me I have not this problem, but remains me the same issue with the iPhone 2/3 (google iphone dust screen).
I think it's a common problem with capacitive screen, but no "easy" solutions to fix it...
poor construction quality, imho.

this is one of those instances where a really cheap phone shows its faults. the phone is free on contract and little of $200 without. with it being so incredibly cheap, there is going to be something wrong that causes concern.
Im okay with it happening as long as it gets fixed and the problem is acknowledged by both LG and the phone carriers. it seems like many people are having this problem at the moment and T-Mobile is willing to exchange it in store, so good on them for being considerate.
i have the same issue. Don't know how to prevent that

No dust here either. I have a silicon case, I don't think it helps very much.
just disassemble it. There is no warranty seal. You'll find the dust inbetween the lcd screen and the capacitive overlay.

Hi! please tell us how to do it!
I too have this problem Can any one please let us know how to get rid of it.
I have the same problem with my Optimus One, dust is starting to gather on the right bottom corner and it seems to have increased since the first time I saw it. I've thought about buying a can of compressed air and trying to blow it near the edge of the screen but maybe that will just make it spread even further.
I've also thought about unscrewing the screws on the back panel of the phone and clean it but I'm afraid that it will affect the capacitive screen in some way making it less responsive and that after I assemble it back together it'll become even less air tight and thus accumulate even more dust.
Maybe I'll reclaim my warranty but I'll have to un-root my phone and wipe it clean before leaving it at the store and it's going to be a pain in the ass to reinstall everything when it returns.
Will they replace the mobile for this problem?
You can back up everything by titanium backup and copy the titanium backup folder from sd to your pc or pen drive. In your newly replaced phone you can copy back this folder to sd card and after installing titanium backup application you can restore everything.

Wow, DUST really get into the phone and I thought I was the only person experiencing this... actually it's on the "RIGHT BOTTOM PART" as posted S3nd41 and probably half of the users here has this problem....
Hello everyone!
I'm new here, and don't normally post on forums about technical issues (too nervous!) but something very odd came up on my Galaxy s2 today and my google-fu has failed me so far in finding anything similar.
I got it at the beginning of September this year, keep it in one of those leather wallet cases to protect it (and a screen protector), and during the day it mainly just sits on my desk at work. For some reason however, today, this just appeared (see attachments).
It's a small, lilac-purple smudge in the lower right hand corner. It doesn't move when the screen moves, and the touchscreen still works just fine. You can also still see images below it, it just tints them purple. It's less visible when the screen is brighter, but still kind of there.
I have turned it off an on again, turned it off and removed the battery, and left it off for a while to cool down. It was still there when I turned the phone back on.
As far as I know there is no water damage, and I don't believe it has been in contact with any magnets (apart from the mini one that clasps the case shut). I'm completely baffled! Is it a defect, or something I've somehow managed to cause? I've tried to be very careful, as I know what a klutz I am! The phone is also not rooted or hacked in any way.
If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you very much
I think is magnet

I wondered the same thing, but I left it on a table next to my bed overnight and it seems to have gotten worse - the purple has spread further on to the screen.

to which is why never used a case with magnet.
OP:
It will get progressively worse even if magnet is no where near now.
The purple tint on the entire screen is definitely a defect... get it changed from the Samsung Service Centre! Even I had this problem and my phone atm is at the Service Centre...
There are lot of quality control issues with the SGS2 display...
Never a Samsung again!

Same here, I have 2 of them near to speakers. I only see them when the screen is black( like webos booting). Probably something is pressing to lcd. Can we do something against it? Does it go under warranty?

I have them at random spots at random times (sometimes right at the middle of the screen); I tried sending it in for repair, but they just sent it back after doing a doctor - so the problem is still there.
Took some pics when it happened if someone wants to see it.
Maybe dead pixels?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, in my case, it tends to come and go as it pleases.
I have those spots as well. I think its just normal clouding as on most TVs. Since its only visible when the screen is completely black, its not that much of a problem.
One time I pressed down on the center of the screen by mistake with my elbow, and when I looked at the screen there was a yellow light halo in the center about an inch wide. I freaked out, but I 'massaged' the screen softly in the center and it went away. Might be something pressing behind the screen ?
I've yet to get my TP, hopefully by next week.
But as I read all your posts, it sounds a little bit like "Screen Burn in".
But, burn in usually most noticable with a white screen, not a black screen like some you have mentioned. Again I'm just taking a wild guess here.
I guess I will be able to contribute more when I get my device.
But then again I'm Hoping I won't have this problem at all.
=o)
Edit: 02/10/2012
I've had my HPTP for over a week now and have yet to experience any yellow spots on the screen anywhere.
Could this be an issue that happens over a period of time?
How long have you guys had your HPTP before this problem started?
I have the problem also. There are also some issues, like glue-points between the display and the cover, the display sticks off at the home button and there are other issues of the production. My touchpad is only a few weeks old and now i will send it back under warranty.

yup, same thing just happened to me
On the left side and up in the corner if it is a yellowish on dark that is lightbleed. I have it bad enough it is very visible even at 50%. This appears to be a common issue. I sent mine in for something else and it came back with still light bleed. They have offered advanced replacement, but the more I read the more I believe this is common and will never be fully free of it.
Here's a slideshow for people to make fun of:

I already have, but as mentioned, it just came back the same way; I've had this problem since I've bought it.
The worst ones are at the edges of the screen, but I didn't manage to get pics of when it happened.
Looks like internal screen delamination. That should def. be covered under your warranty as its a manufacturing defect that occurred when the screen was originally made. It's nothing you did.

The problem is that even though its under warranty, they don't do anything about it - possibly because they do not notice it as it pops up at random times.
There are 2 pieces little spot under screen recently and they are located around center of the screen.
I am not sure if it is dust or dead pixel. It is not totally black but it is kind of grey color and it looks like between screen and LED. One is darker than another. They are not close together. The shape of the spots are not really a pixel square. It is hard to take a photo as it is small.
It was prefect before. And i just found it recently.
Anybody have the same experience?
I would like to change a new one if i cannot fix it myself
Yeah, I have a speck of dust on my screen as well. I can tell that it is dust because it moves slightly when I change viewing angles. I am not bothering with getting it fixed because other than that issue, my tablet works great and I don't want to risk something worse showing up.
I've got one small speck by my recent apps button on screen. I'm using a skinomi skin and sometimes it looks like its between that and the screen and other times it looks like its between the glass and the screen.
Noticed it the first week and havent seen it getting any worse or more collecting.
I also have this. 2 doors of dust or whatever slightly under the very center of screen and in the middle.
I also notice my metal near my port keeps bending in.
I keep debating if I should take it apart and clean it.
Bugs me seeing these two specs.
Doubt Asus would do anything to help us.

I have also the same probelm but only one for the moment.
I also have dust but I am afraid that if I RMA that I will get something worse.
It sounds like i am not alone. I am not able to move it...but i would like the way to proof if it is not dead pixel
Any method to clean it or move it to the side? It is kind of bother me everytime when i was reading something on white background.
I have a grey spot about the size of a pixel or two, but I don't think it is a pixel because the edges are not crisp. If it were a pixel I would think it would have well defined edges. I have a dead pixel on my HDTV and it is quite easy to see the edges of that.
It's so small that it doesn't bother me in the least..well apart from knowing my screen isn't perfect.
Also I see no parallax when tilting my screen so if it is dust, it's sitting on the LCD and not the gorilla glass.
I also have that "pixels" in the center of the screen. I see that I am not the only... That's weird. I think it's dead pixel. But I'm not sure... What guys think?
I tested some applications that can wake locked pixels with no success.
Could it be only dust?

Return if you have to option. I had the same problem with my first prime from gamestop. Took it back the next day and had a replacement. Things are great now.

I think i was one of the first to mention this before regarding any problems with my prime in another thread but yea i chose not to bother returning it and gettin one with bigger problems...its annoying sure but hardly affects usability and performance.
I'm OCD and my Prime I had gotten from Best Buy had some dead pixels, then another one I had gotten had a dead pixel AND a piece of dust or something under the screen... I ended up finally getting a good one w/o any problems so far. *crosses fingers*

Let me start by saying that i bought this phone only 3 days ago and these are the problems I've found with it.
1. The Second screen back light issue. This is a common problem among many lg v10 users as i have noticed, and i have that same problem too. to the extreme left of the second display it is brighter than the rest but only when it is off. I do not find this very annoying since i do not use the second display for reading my notifications while it is off. i mostly use it when the screen is on
2. In addition to that, the power button/ fingerprint scanner combo is completely garbage, as in the actual clicking. the button seems loose and when i click it, it squeaks. Also, when i run my finger up and down the power button it wobbles and has the same annoying squeak.
3. The charging port is loose. Not so much that the cable could slide out not in that axis, but it moves side to side freely and up and down. this worries me because i think that if i put too much pressure on the cable the port could break somehow.
4. The steel bezels are nice and stuff but the gaps, are uneven at the bottom left, the metal bezel is like bent and you can easily see through it. also at the back when you pop in the cover it seems like it doesn't align with the bezel. but that might just be my ocd lol
This phone in my opinion is great the best phone I've had. but its just that these things are what let me down. This phone is great but they absolutely ruined it with the quality control. note* my batch is from January 15, 2016
U probably just got a bad one. Sometimes, they make it thru the quality control somehow. I would return it until u get the one ur satisfied with.

Yeah I think I should but I'll wait until the weekend and decide if I should change it.
Probably a good idea. The flaws won't change. I have the lightbleed on the 2nd screen, but I never notice unless it's absolutely pitch black where I am and the screen is off. It doesn't annoy me tho.

I like the phone, maybe I love it. I have the same problem with the residual light on the left of second screen. (phone batch 26 Oct.2015) But, what I dislike the most:
1. The lack of a LED on the front.
2. The second screen, about my opinion is useless until then a developer create an xposed apk for a flashing light on second screen when I loose a call.
3. The fingerprint sensor is useless too for me.
4. Volume of the speaker is not too loud.
But, I like the size and the shape of the phone. It is a catch eyes everywhere I go. Benchmarks are very good for a Snapdragon 808. The screen is very fluid. And the most, the camera and his software are great; you believe or not I compared in photoshop pictures from an expensive Sony semiprofessional DSLR camera with photos made with my V10 and the overall quality are quite the same. It's the best phone I ever had (and I had a lot of top level androids)
I don't want to change it, even on a G5!

The light bleed is a common issue, but everything else sounds like your phone was assembled incorrectly, you should exchange it
Okay so today I was wondering if I could find any more nit picky problems and noticed that the back cover did not sit flush with the buttons and that if I pushed it down it became flushnot a big issue but it bugs me when I'm turning up the volume or turning on the phone

Well I exchanged a week ago and now that the time limit to return it is over, it cracked, not from a drop. It just cracked by itself there is a small hair line crack right by the metal rail and if is so annoying I paid good money and I take care of my phones well even if this was made to be tough. It cracked while I was in the car waiting for someone and then out of no where I heard a little pop and I thought nothing about it but after I finished watching the video I noticed it and got so scared I was like"did I drop it" but I did not idk how it managed to break I haven't dropped my phone yet and it just cracked out of nowhere
