Dude make only 1 thread for your problems. No need for 2.
It's image retention. I have it too but it's not a big deal. It's not permanent.
As for GPS, try rebooting your phone, or if you use a case, try without it, maybe the case is blocking the compass.

You can fix it unless you go get this fixed. if you're still in warranty, try to get it replaced.
Does backlight bleed really annoy you??? it's only visible in the dark at high brightness...

:laugh::laugh::laugh: you can try it. image retention can be solved with a blue light filter, light bleeding can only be fixed by replacing the screen. Both are common issues though with IPS LCD screens. (Notebook has it, tablet has it and phone as well)
The only thing I would really be bothered with is GPS. This made me send my G5 to LG and hopefully getting it fixed now.

Yes , BLF does solve omage retention. With that in mind, if you are rooted, use CF.Lumen, it works much better.

I had it pretty bad especially with Google maps. The only thing I can really recommend is using cf lumen and there use a color temperature of 6200k in root mode.
Edit: seen galr's post too late

You can even make the temperature back to 6600k and just change the shade to 0.102, this would solve the image retention permanently, i never had any image retention ever since.

I don't have image retention neither using blue light filter.

I've noticed that since the update to Nougat, sometimes CF.Lumen doesn't work and I need to run the app manually. Have you experienced it?

With blue screen filter from sisco mobile I still get image retention at software buttons.
I have it at 15% black color.
At the top image retention disappeared but a matter bottom no..

change a cpl of kernel's and see for the same issue
When it's viewed at angle, it has a green tint. If you look straight onto it, it doesn't have it. It's inherent nature of SGS2's Super AMOLED Plus display. I doubt it can be tweaked by software means.
well i m on fluxi kernel.. Can i set the color calibration to remove this tint effect?

[Q] Screen flicker problem

Hi everyone.
I love the TrueSmart but I've got a problem with the screen.
There's a flicker on it. The whole screen flickers and it's particularly noticeable when the background is white or any other light colour.
Has anyone else experienced this and what are my chances of getting it fixed or replaced under warranty?
Thanks for any advice in advance,
HRH.
sounds normal, mine too

FWIW mine does not, at least I've not noticed it - recent batch - does screen brightness setting have anything to do with it?

Now that's a helpful comment. Thank you. If I set the screen brightness to maximum then the flicker goes away. Not ideal, as I've never set any device to max brightness in my life. Never needed to. But at least the flicker goes away.
I just hope it doesn't make the rubbish battery life even worse.

Ah. I was thinking more in terms of down rather than up (but I didn't say so...). Indeed, it's bright in the first place and raising it will probably have an impact on battery life.
I think Lokifish reported some time ago that the screen was ridiculously over bright even at the minimum setting and that there was no change in brightness if raised over 50%.
I used Lux on mine to drop the brightness way into negative values. I have noticed no annoying flickering, but there were early reports of nasty flickering on some samples back last Fall.

you might be talking about the screen itself. Its not a issue. Its the screen it self. nothing to worry about as its with every sony phones. I had a Xperia Mini Pro and the glitterish screen was there. its more visible if you lock the screen and turn the display on a light source like the sun

I notice today, it's ghosting is not that much but I can see the lte signal bars and battery icon while using the phone in landscape
I have the G5,and I have backlight bleed along with icon burn in. I called,but the only thing LG would do is fix my phone and it would take a month. I can not do that,I need my phone for work. Why can't I just get a replacement ? From what I've been reading its a fairly common defect with the G5. Any advice on how to deal with them ?

My burn-In started today, usually the status bar was Burning, In a couple of hours now it is starting to burn anything that stays a couple of minutes on screen.
Now it has Status bar along with Nav Bar and anything that stays on screen. This is starting to piss me off.
Plus it fades away if I leave the phone intact but has soon has I start using it the problem persists.
What does screen burn mean, please?

Means that after certain time of having an app open or given the situation status bar or Nav bar starts to have ghosting or clear images of something that you haved opened on your phone. You can see this images with a complete grey image if they are soft. If they are burning really bad you can see them from any dark colors that you have on your screen.

Thanks but already sold my G5 today. Got a Galaxy S7 edge
Had this phone for a year now, had screen replaced two times and ghosting still apears. Now waiting for a replacement with my carrier, as licenced service is trying to replace the screen for the third time. 8 years Htc and now this...

[Root] [All Variants] Altered calib.cfg for vastly improved Assertive functionality.

So I, at first, thought Assertive wasn't working/enabled on my V20 but it turns out the stock settings are just pathetic. I spent some time adjusting the config file and had a few fellow V20 users test out my changes and they have all reported back that it works fantastically now.
For Assertive to function, your phone MUST be set to 'automatic' backlight control.
Decompress and copy my file to your phone and replace the calib.cfg located in /system/media/display/. Make sure to change the permissions on the replacement file to 644.
Reboot and enjoy
Test out in direct, bright sunlight. You'll be surprised.
Let me know your results in the poll and in comments.
Thank you for your work brother
what does this do exactly?

Assertive Display was designed by APICAL. They are owned by Qualcomm and Qualcomm has built the tech into their SoCs.
Basically, it adjusts the gamma curve, white balance, contrast, etc. of the display based on intensity and amount of ambient light. It can take a display that would be utterly crushed by sunlight and make it readable.
Try it out.

The problem I have is in low light environment. Screen goes to zero as soon as the light gets dimmed. I can't think of any environment that I would want the screen at zero. That's just too dark for my old eyes

Tap the light button in the pull down status bar. It corrects this issue. (Right above where it says 68%)
