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

Same Here! Very annoying because the phone is less than one week old!
I actually have not this problem my device is now over 2 weeks old. Maybe it depends on the area you are or temp.? ect...

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....
Don't kill me, I have to know.
Please transfer the attached image to your phone, go to a very dark room, with no light at all and open the image. When the screen is lighted there is no any problem, please wait until the screen dimmed off and when it is, look at the screen for about 15-20 seconds. Do you see black spots on the more pale background? look at it close to the screen.

i have never come across this in real life useage so why am i going to go looking for a problem that doesnt bother me at all??
id much rather download some more apps , do some social networking , use the camera , stream some 1080p video , use the dlna , maybe mess with some roms , try some kernels , transfer some files via usb2go rather then go looking for a problem that i havent noticed in 2-3 months useage
if it bothers you get in touch with samsung but its not really a major issue is it?? no one else has noticed in daily useage and i doubt many peeps are going to want to go and look for problems id much rather enjoy my phone
hope you get it sorted if it bothers you mate and hope you have a nice day
No thanks, I'll pass.
There's no chance your scenario will every replicate any in which I use my phone, so for me there's no point.
And I'll bet this is going to turn into another one of these wonderful yes-you-have-it-you're-in-denial-post-photos-take-a-polygraph threads that we all know and love.
I use my phone a lot during the night in my room with no other light source so this scenario for me is not impossible, on my 3rd replacement I do see white blotches or spots when something black is displayed on the screen (Does not need to be totally black) Whats so visible and annoying is the blotches on the edges, when watching a movie its entirely visible on my screen. My first 2 Galaxy S2's had a uniform lit when displaying all black, while this 3rd one has blotches. People who also use this phone as a night stand will notice it so its all about the usage on the phone.
I believe this is the one they call finger prints behind the screen.. Not sure though..
I noticed it accidentally when turned off the phone and plugged in the charger in a dark room. It is not only spots but stripes also.

Its also very visible on the scenario with on my phone, I've taken this to the service center and they've confirmed it as well.. Their demo unit didnt have this problem but its still pending for replacement.
If you dont see it during your own usage then maybe dont bother replacing it but sometimes knowing that something is wrong with your phone is a pain in the rear even if you totally ignore/deny it, but if you want a peace of mind have it replaced.

Maybe the people not blessed with your high expectations will give a toss - but who knows, you're so high up on your pedestal of self-righteousness that I can't see you.

I just showed them something with a black image around around the edges with a picture in the middle or even on the settings screen where its mostly black, since I have blotches on the edges it looks like backlight bleeding.
ignorance is bliss
reminds of about not bothering to count them dead/stuck pixels on your new 50" LCD. otherwise you will be pissed, because you know where it is...

but it has a lot of other problems.
I also noticed some irregularities with the screen. Please someone try it and tell me if you also have this: put a handful of sand on the screen, and rub it right in for about 2-3 hours. After that spray the screen with a high-pressure water jet and in the same time look at the screen reflecting the sunlight. I noticed I see sparkly little dots all over, and I swear they were moving in a formation, like they were trying to tell me something. Do you guys see it?
Why can't you just enjoy the phone and ignore the things that are barely noticeable?

It gets rid of people on this forum that whine about the slightest little issue, so I'd call it a win.
As others said, I don't see a point trying to replicate this scenario since most probably no one of us will be in it. Even if the problem is there we are not affected by it. That's what is important to me
Thanks anyway

Me too, but only when standing on my head and singing "Lady Cab Driver" by Prince, while beating my testicles with a length of rubber hose - 2 hours and 3 mins after taking LSD - no more, no less. Unfortunately, I always use my phone under these conditions.
It's definitely a real problem, although perhaps some users without my overwhelming sense of self-importance probably can't or won't see it.
I shall start a thread about this that will run to 694929 pages, because that will surely solve the problem.
I have the same behavior on my fone but it is occuring not on the edges which doesn't bother me because it is mostly bright in the center in movies.
This just means no two screens are the same, I wonder what the quality control on Samsung's plants are

Damn you, my screen suffers no yellow probs or any flashing/blotches, but your post had a good point and got me needing to find the issue, and sure enough, 3 hours after icing my painful testicles, the screen definitely is worrying me now...I think I dropped acid on it.

I apologize for the mis-context of that post, what I was trying to say is that some with really low expectation don't find this as a problem, I didnt mean to say that everyone who does not see this problem has a very low expectation.

Agree, if by your usage your not affected by the problem then dont bother chances are theres gonna be another issue with the replacement phone, on my end im a bit unlucky though as its very visible on the edges, looks like backlight bleeding
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.
The issue just showed up all of a suddence. The rear facing camera would show scramble images then the camera app would crash. Also getting "cannot connecto to camera" msg at time. The front camera is fine tho so it's not a camera software issue.
Any idea? Sounds like an hardware issue.

I'll link momentarily, but several people are having rear-camera issues, most likely a loose connection somewhere since some people can squeeze the Prime and start getting proper use for a short amount of time. It's absolutely a hardware problem, you either need to RMA or preferably swap it out with your retailer.
*EDIT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532032
Add me to the list. I started a thread without seeing this one. I'll ask for mine too be removed. Tried everything I can think of but must be hardware like suggested. Seemed to happen out of the blue.

Okay, now that's weird. I just squeezed around the camera lens and now my camera's working. I had just rebooted and tried the camera again and it wouldn't work. Then I reread your post and squeezed pretty hard around the lens, tried it and it worked. I guess I need to hit the thanks meter for you
Mine did the same all of a sudden after 2 months of working fine,
I sent it in for RMA last Monday, Got an email last night that it has been repaired and shipped. we'll see when it arrives

Just tried it this morning and I am back to the green screen. I guess the squeeze around the lens lost it's compression.
I just played around with it some more and it came back on. Just to the left of the light sensor and down a little is where I can feel it almost clicking into place. I have to press pretty hard but I can feel it wanting to connect or touch or something there.
Edit: I just isolated it. Turned the camera on after lunch and it was back to the green screen. I squeezed right where the front camera lens is and it started working. Let go for a little bit and back to it flickering and green. Guess I now know it's hardware for sure.

I guess I'll stop blowing smoke and actually disassemble at lunch, see what I notice in the vacinity that could be causing it. Really hope this doesn't happen too often lol I'd be devastated if this happens to me.

I don't think it will.
My Prime is in half right here in front of me, and where you're squeezing doesn't contain any parts. I think it's just flexing the glass enough that it presses down onto rear camera and its pad/ribbon cable. That cable must get loose on the side nearest the backplate, or right underneath the little pad on the glass side.
Most likely the issue will persist for the device's life until you or a service center fixes it.

I don't think so either. I just had to squeeze it again to get it working. I think it's exactly what your saying it is.

Yea, the fix doesnt stay long. I contacted Asus CS. My GPS is completely DOA and was planning to get it service anyway. I was hoping they had a fix for the GPS before I sent it back.

Lol, no, we'll never see proper GPS unless you physically mod it yourself. They dropped it quicker 'n a hot potato lol and the metal body will always interfere even with RF windows, GPS is just inherently weak.
I have a problem with the rear camera ,all the subjects are out of focus .
Tap your screen so it can re focus lol I'm teasing. Try a third party app. If that fails inspect the camera, is it scuffed up? Any moisture inside? Is the front camera ok? You can find and replace your devices drivers for the camera if rooted and you know how.
This seems to be a common problem for Mate 9 and 9 Pro and i've RESOLVED it in MY case.
FIrst, does the monochrome mode (camera) work OK? If so, then you *could* be in the same situation I was in.
So, first and most important, I have a gel cover on my case to absorb impacts or, at least stop the phone getting marked when dropped. I dropped my phone and it landed on one of the TOP corners. From this moment on, the COLOUR camera was out of focus. I asked around in the Mate 9 forum and it seems others have had this problem and one person there said he fixed it by tapping his phone. With this in mind i actually i banged mine on the other end ..... and focus was INSTANTLY much better, although not perfect. I then banged it again and focus is back to perfect!
In my case, it looks like my initial drop dislodged a lense/cover over the colour camera sensor and a "reverse" knock has vibrated it back in to place.
Again, check if this is just the colour sensor with the monochrome remaining perfect and, if you do try this, make sure you have something soft like a towel on the surface you're hitting to ensure your phone doesn't get marked.
Good luck!

I actually had the same issue. Camera would not focus. Probably due to a drop in the right corner. Hitting the phone on the left corner a few times fixed my problem.
