So over the last week or so I started noticing this small red/orange spot with a yellow border around it on the side of my screen on my Verizon G3. It is right next to where I usually have my thumb at. Not sure if the pressure from me holding it is separating the loca glue. The touch screen still functions fine in the area. I don't use a case and haven't dropped the phone since I got it (a few months ago). I previously had a G2 and never had any problems like this or with any other smart phone I've had before.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Should I see if my warranty with LG will take care of this?

The faceplate for the phone buttons on my Touch Pro is shifting like tectonic plates. The Back button side is flushed with the screen but the Home side is raised a bit like it's bent upwards a bit. Am I the only one with this problem? I walked into a Best Buy to look at the demo and it's all flushed.. even with thousands of hands raping the display unit daily..
Mine is like that to but my back button goes lower
mine is doing the exact same thing. i took mine into bell and they told me that its normal... mind you they were complete f****** idiots. no offence to amyone who works for them. i myself used to sell for them. anyway... i too looked and the display and it was also completely flush. i'm concerned about the reprocutions of long term use...
My Sprint TP has been in exactly the same shape as the original poster's since day 1. I would have refused it initially but just getting the thing was such a pain due to the crappy service I was getting that I just went with it anyway, but it bothers me every time I use it. Does anybody know whether this should be covered under the manufacturers warranty?
My sprint TP is normal .. no issues so far had it for month ..
but reading that scarying me..
hey do you think its just defect ? under my cover says DT08.12.17
guessing day its made ?
Yeah, mine's raised up too... on mine, both sides are raised up with the home side being 1 or 2 millimeters higher. It hasn't seemed to affect the functionality of it. Not sure if mine was like this out of box, but i've had it less than 30 days and just recently noticed it. It won't concern me until the buttons stop working or i have to start pressing harder to activate them.
I just noticed after reading this thread that mine is the same. The home side is higher, where the "back" button is nearly flush. I've only had mine for about two weeks, but it must have been like this out of the box.
Sprint Touch Pro
Mine seems to be even and flush and does not move without my pressing it.
Manufacture Date: 12-2008
I would definitely look into having yours replaced if the plate is shifting around or not flush.
The 3 most annoying things on the phone are the lack of buttons / shortcuts like on my HTC Mogul, battery life (which is fixable with an extended battery), and how hot the phone gets after only a short time of use. Also the volume up/down button gets stuck in the down position occasionally.
Hi all,
Has anyone experience with a problem when the touch screen intermittently works, especially when you press/hold hard on the sides of the face of the phone. Without pressing down on the side, the top menu (start... x) most of the time are either unresponsive or respond as if you press elsewhere on the screen.
I'm thinking of open up the phone later tonight to troubleshoot, guessing the screen digitizer is loose or, HOPEFULLY NOT, cold solder somewhere. But if you'd heard or faced this problem before or even have an idea on what has caused the problem, I'd like to hear from you. Please help!
Thanks!
Adding info
Oh yeah, did I forget to say that not just the top of the screen, the middle part as worst. The only part of the screen is still responsive is the bottom. If I press down or punctual around the face of the phone tightly enought(?), I'd be able to have the good touch screen for a little while (5... 10 minutes) before it gone weird again.
Fixed... for now
Well, I jammed a couple of thin plastic to the bottom of the screen within the housing facelet behind the t-mobile logo... and it works... for now.
I still intend to disassemble the dawn thing as soon as I realize such quick fix has become unpractical or no longer work.
I will check back to this post again, so if you are interested, don't hesitate to reply, I'll try anything when desperate.
How long have you had the phone?
How do you carry it around?
If you got the phone recently and started carrying it around by putting it in your pants pocket, then you find the screen sometimes doesn't work well, those facts are related. A couple of years ago people used to always complain about this, and some recommended rubbing your finger firmly around all edges of the screen for a temporary fix. Others recommended forcing a business card under the metal at the edges of the screen. I got a leather belt case for mine, and the problem went away.
If you've had the phone for years and it just now started acting up, the problem might be related to a cable, connection, or something. There is a wizard service manual online. I've used its instructions to replace a screen, with no bad issues.
Good luck with your phone. The wizard is a bit old, but still pretty nice.
Hey guys, I recenty activated my backup 3D because my primary somehow got a deep scratch in the screen (so much for gorilla glass...) the phone is brand new and had hboot 1.5 and got it downgraded to 1.4. Well on the stock I noticed a brighter portion of the screen and it looks almost like a bubble, the middle of the screen looks great but when using a app with a dark background there is a bright ring around the whole edge of the screen (maybe .25 inches around the whole screen) and I am not sure what to make of it. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?
I had this problem on my evo 4g, although it doesn't pose any sort of issue with the phone, its a stress mark. They occasionally happen in your pocket where something has pushed down on the screen.
Other than it being an eye sore, there's nothing wrong with the screen.
(Sprint store informed me in my situation that since my screen was too perfect they would only replace it if I was OK with having a sub-par used screen with scratches.
No Fox you can reemplace screen to Fox however actually uf it os too annoying
Hit the thanks Button if i Helped

Not sure how that's possible because it is a new phone and has never been activated. Kind of sucks because I am very OCD with my electronics and that scratch in my other screen came from no where and it really pisses me off... Guess I just have to live with it or go back to the scratched screen.
I thought this phone had Gorilla Glass? I never had a screen protector on my OG Evo and that thing went through hell without a single scratch...
I thought the same thing about my evo 4g, apparently it just happens. My 4g was only a week old when it happened.
I'm so OCD about my phones they have a dedicated pocket that nothing else goes in to, I wont activate my phone without a screen protector, and I wont go more than a week without an otterbox case lol. Stress marks were a mystery to me as well
I have a screen problem, and because of the cost would prefer to perform the repair myself. (I've repaired a number of laptops and smartphones in the past.) My problem is that I don't know which part failed.
The accident: I dropped my Galaxy S3 from a height of about 3 feet onto concrete. For reasons too embarrassing to detail, I didn't have the protective case on the phone.
The result: The front bezel around the screen has a 5mm abrasion scratch in it, but the screen itself shows no sign of damage at all. When I put the battery back in, and powered up the phone, the screen did not come on. I see a faint line of green pixels about 3cm long on one spot on the screen. There is nothing else on the display. The phone seems to be powering up and down (not entirely certain because I had the phone on silent mode before I dropped it).
I'm hoping that one of you with more experience might have an opinion on any fixes I might attempt, or tests I might run to determine what needs to be replaced.
Thank you very much for your suggestions!
So the other day when I attempted to fix my G5 (a double failure as replacing the powerbutton didn't fix the fingerprint issue and the GPS hack didn't work either) I ****ed up in the part where when you are opening it up and you are using picks to separate the back from the front and on the lower left I managed to partially separate the glass from the screen a little. The screen itself is still working fine but in the dark you can see light bleeding from the edge where it got separated and upon closer inspection you can tell its sticking up a little. I was going to give the phone to my kid, but since I'm sure even a little drop of rain on the phone will now ruin it, I'm wondering if there's a way to restick the screen without replacing the whole screen/digitizer assembly.
Sure buds my brother is having the same issue. Watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi3YD9SN4aM) and it should give you an idea of how to fix it. I'd personally pull it up a little and dab a tiny amount of glue around the edge of the lose area.
