[Q] Smashed LCD/Digitizer - AT&T LG Optimus G

Does anybody know the compatibility of the displays out there. Is the LS970 the same as the LG-E970, 971,973 ect?

Anybody? I have even called LG and still no answer :/

Here's a link that might interest you. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Replacement-Parts-Tools-/43304/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=lg+optimus+g+e970
Hope that's what your looking for.

Just bought one and already had to exchange

Today I went to best buy to buy this because they price matched letstalk to 199$. The woman I delt with sighed and ughed the whole time. Really rude. I ended up adding a line. Burning a sim. And moving the phone to my main line to get the upgrade.
Now I noticed this when I got home but im disappointed in build quality. I dont know if it was me snapping the back cover back on. But the top of my screen was loose. And the bottom leaked light from the leds because well..the glue holding the screen clearly was not that good. I immediately called back and was upset and went to exchange and now im all fine.
But now im paranoid about snapping back in my back cover. How cheaply made is this thing? Anyone run into hardware issues yet? Best buy has a 30 day exchange policy. Thank god.

What LEDs are you referring to?

im referring to the bottom of the phone, when the leds were lit up, you saw on the side of the phone light leakage, and on the top of the phone if you pushed down gently on any corner the screen was loose.
Sounds like a bad device. I haven't had any problems and since there aren't many threads about it, I'd say that other users aren't having problems either.

i just hope this isnt a common issue, i don't want it to happen to this one as well.
They wouldn't give me a price match to letstalk
I can assure you that this is NOT a normal issue with this phone... But, if you don't think something is right about it then you have every right to exchange! It's YOUR money and if your not happy then exchange away...
Only reason I got is because they price matched. I told them I know its not on your list. But other best buys have done.

sorry about your experience, I suppose it is expected that there are lemons in the bunch, but it just sucks to know you got one of em. Rest assured it's not a common problem. I'm sure others will testify that yours is a unique issue.

im just gonna be super fragile and not squeeze the screen when putting on the back cover if i ever have to take it off now. >_< just precaution! i dont wanna ever have to get a refurb.
Its ok. Crisis averted.

Samsung's thin battery covers are reasonably robust regarding battery removal and handling. Even improperly installed, the plastic has given and snapped into place. I owned a Charge and Galaxy Nexus with similar battery covers and I have never broken a tab.
I have (3) batteries for my Note 2 and swap every other day without worry of breaking anything. Samsung knows removable covers...
Yeah ive had a nexus and s3 no issues. Note 2 day one screen lose from snapping in battery cover or something . Go figure.

OK so I just gotta ask..

So this has been somewhat bothering me since pretty much day one and I have told myself it's not a big deal just me being "nit picky" but I just have to mention and ask...
My DNA is "creaky" on the front glass I clean my display endlessly and it makes a creaky (for lack of a better description or recording of the actual sound..) sound.. I also notice that when I put it down there is a noise from the camera area.. (maybe auto focus lens..)
but my main concern is the creaky sound on the front and when i grip the phone on the sides...
Does anyone else notice this?
Thats too bad to hear. Mine is solid all around.

You sure it's not the glass on the camera? If I tap above it, it sounds like a creak. I checked brand new ones and they all do it

If your phone is less than 14 days old, you may easily get it replaced at Verizon store.
I had this issue, and got a new replacement without any hassle.
You just got a phone like that. Either get it replaced or get used to it. Sorry...
I wouldn't be happy either. Doubt Verizon will swap it for that. I'd try to tell them it gets hot or doesn't hold the charge or something. They swapped my husband's Rezound cause it was hot and dying in a matter of hour when plugged in and used as GPS in the car. Tell them you have a problem like that.

well, crap... all this time I should have gone by the VZW store to check the demo units or ask here like I thought about originally... I got my phone at Best Buy and out of the return policy I could probably get the my friend at VZW to replace my phone under warranty.. it's just that in the past I have had issues CLNA phones..

My DNA its a CLN that I got as a alternate replacement and was literally flawless.

Mines been solid since I got it. And I'm very particular when it comes to creaky phones. I'd try to get a replacement.
Mine creaked bottom right, replaced it and its better though I can briefly recreate the noise if the battery flap isn't seated properly.

Same here.
Mine is solid as a rock.
This set is "the nuts"! (poker term).
Except for the fact that you can't even look at it without somehow touching the rocker volume and changing the setting.
I don't want a case on it so I just remember to handle it without actually touching it.
Or get Volume Locker app.
With case off, no creaks on mine. Then again, the instant I pulled it out of the box, I babied it in a screen protector and ballistic sg case. My Nexus 7 though, creaks like no other.
Sometimes phones can begin to show creaking after having a case on it that was too small for it. Have you recently had problems removing a case?
I have two DNA's and had to replace one due to this creaking sound. Verizon did not think it was a problem, but exchanged it anyway after I insisted the sound was bothering me.

I've never even heard of this...
My employee edition does this. It is quite weird and happens in the bottom left corner

[Q] weird halo on screen

Does anyone else get a weird halo if they push on their screen or on the back of the phone too hard? I can actually launch widget placement by pressing on the back left side of the phone. T
I would take it in to get a replacement. I had this problem with a DX and I couldn't figure out what it was. It turns out the battery was damaged and it swelled up and was putting pressure on the screen. Since you can't just swap out the batteries in these I would take it in.

I just want to bump this up, as i feel this is a serious problem for the DNA... i too had this thing happen with my 3 week old DNA.
If you press half way down the screen and below you can see a rainbow discoloration happening on either left or right side of the screen(similar to when pressing the old school calculators display). I checked a coworkers DNA and his is doing it too. I then called VZ yesterday morning and i was 2 days out of my 14 day period but they did the exception of switching it for a new one. I got the new one at the store i bought it from and the new one is doing it too...
To do this test press about 3/4 of the way down on the display, bring up this page in your phone so you can see the discoloration.
The first 3 week old phone had done it for so long that it left a black shadowy print on my screen (similar to a burnt display) I will be calling VZ back this morning to see what they can do, since from what i was told by tier 2 is that they have no record of this problem being reported.
First DNA came with the old Software, and the new DNA has the latest installed.
You must be pressing pretty Damn hard because mine doesn't do that when I use it.

It's not an issue, any screen will do this, it's just how screens work. There's absolutely no reason to be pressing hard enough for this to be an issue.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Just got mine 3 days ago and just tried this on whole screen and no where can I get this to happen and I'm applying a lot of pressure. It is in a otterbox defender case though so maybe it's keeping it from flexing but I doubt it.

Yea he has to be squeezing hard. I had to apply over 5 lbs of pressure(give or take ofc) to get the liquid crystal to move. Made my feet sweat a lil. This guys a nut.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
this is a common problem. ever hear of the blue haze and dots? it was prevalent with anyone who uses the holster shell.... it squeezed too hard on the sides and created a blue haze of screen discoloration. my first dna had it and I didn't even use the holster shell. I think it was from keeping it on my pockets when I sat down.. I never did screen in, and with the rounded back, it was pushing pressure on the edges which causes this... doing that overtime messed the screen up. just Google blue haze dna or something and you'll see tons of threads with pics. it really sucked. there's a soft spot on the back of every dna, it was just a design flaw. wonder if the one has it?

Busted screen

I dropped my Note 2 right on the face and broke the glass. The top right corner looks like a spider web with a few cracks stretching to the bottom. The display still works though . I plan to get a new glass and replace it myself. I've found quite a bit of info on how to do it.
My only question is this. When I last made a call with it the screen wouldn't come back on when I pulled it away from my face. I'm hoping it's just because of the cracks that run right across the 2 sensors at the top. Do you think it could be that or do you think maybe one of the sensors broke when it fell.
I sure don't want to have to replace the whole lcd unit. That's about $250 while the glass is about $20.

Hey thanks Luke. It's good to see you again. I'm actually using my Charge again for calls and texts. I find I've gotten really spoiled by my Note. The old phone feels clunky and slow.
Thanks for the good info. I'll definitely look for that when I take the busted screen off. It'll take a few days to get the parts. Wish me luck. I think I'm gonna need it. It looks like a hard job.

Another question. I'd like to be able to make the display stay on when I'm holding it up to my ear. Does anyone know a way to do that? I'd really like to use my Note even though the screen is broken. I don't like my Charge any more because it's too small.

Open the phone to the dialer. Hit the menu touch button then call settings. Un check auto off during call. The setting even says turn off proximity sensor.

Thanks. I can't believe I never noticed that. Now I can use it til I can fix the screen. Just waiting for parts.

small crack with resolution prob.
I have a small crack in upper right of screen & now my sharp color is gone. It is now very dull almost like I used a photo app & added an overlay to it. Need some advice
Well I got my parts and got the tools I needed to fix my screen. The problem was I got the wrong type plastic razor blades. I got scraper blades instead. I tried it anyway and ended ripping my LCD screen. Now it's costed an extra $ 200+ for a LCD Digitizer assembly. Hopefully the next day delivery will still work even though yesterday was a holiday and the post offices were closed.
Anyway, what I'm leading up to is don't try this if everything isn't kosher. It's a tricky job.
Update: I found out they won't even ship it til Monday. I guess I don't get it back this weekend. I really don't like my old Charge after using my Note all these months.

Small "smudge" UNDER screen glass

I've had my S4 for about 2 weeks and just started to notice it has what looks like a small 'smudge' UNDER the glass. It kind of looks like a finger smudge on top of the glass, I actually tried the clean for about 15 minutes before I realized it was under the glass. I can't see it when the screen is on, only when it's off and I hold it a certain angles. It's not a big enough deal for me to return it, but if it's a sign of worse things to come, maybe I should? Also, don't know if it's related, but I can also tell my screen isn't exactly flat. This also can only be seen at certain angles, looks fine when using the phone. Should I worry about it or what do you think?
Just return it for another unit, unless you want to be stuck with this flaw for another two years or so, and from the looks of it seems to be bothering you, so why not just return it and have them issue you another device.
Duh!

Sell it to someone who won't notice. Then get the dev edition. Or just replace it
