Hi
During the first few months after launch, there seemed to be problems with the V30's screen, possibly due to P-OLED manufacturing QC issues.
Have these manufacturing issues largely been rectified? Are XDA members who bought a V30 in the last six months happy with its screen?
Thanks!
I just got mine, manufactured 05/2018, and there's a slight yellowing in the lower left corner of the screen, Only noticeable on dark grey backgrounds for the most part.
I bought an Indian H930DS 5 months ago and luckily the screen is perfect
manufactured 5-2018, perfect, but only used for 2 weeks.

Morning all.
Because I value my sanity, I'm not going anywhere near that thread - some of the strangest people on the interwebs live there....
My old SGS2 (bought in May last year) had a slightly darker left side, only visible on grey backgrounds, and it didn't worry me at all - something the nutjobs on said thread found very hard to take....
This has completely disappeared on my new unit - flawless display.
Was wondering if there had been a permanent fix? The new phone came with KI8 firmware, since changed to KL1.
Yeah I guess so. Saw 3 new units in the last 20 days and none of them had the yellow tinting issue while mine (a lot older) does suffer from it badly.

I’m afraid this defect has not been corrected. I bought a new unit a week ago which had a yellow tint so bad that I had to get it replaced. I was A LOT worst compared to my first unit, bought in July 2011. Numerous other posts in this forum and others, report that the screens in newer devices have this issue in the same degree and variations that the first batches had.
hello,
I was gonna buy ZTE Axon 7. but the cam made me cancel the order.
So, i have seen some serious ghosting and burns of lg g5 even in the first months
Please reply:
I use g5 DXXX series 6XXK (production date)
I have the issues: X,Y and Z
or
I dont have the issues
Thanks
I just want to be sure my g5 wont be defective... i cant know the serial as well but amazon usually sells the latest batches
ATT LG G5, no issues. 3 months now.
International H850, bought in May (produced in April I think), absolutely no issues at all
H850 3 months serious issue. Going tomorrow to LG service to replace the screen.
International H850 - 4 months usage.
Burn-in is not an issue (had it for a couple of days, then vanished without a trace).
No major issues.
H850 sending it in for GPS and the uneven standard module. Forgot to mention the ghosting issue. Bought it in may so also a rather early one.
By ghosting do you mean when scrolling?
Its an issue, its worse with black text on white background where the text will blend in due to the white ghosting into the black, this is display lag.
On white text with black background its there but not as noticeable and I only notice it if looking for it.
i bought it on bhphotovideo. because 450+tax usd for lg g5,extra battery,cradle, VR goggles and cam plus was a win.
i m just gonna sell the VR lol
i hope my device wont have the issues.
when writing your issue please include the production date as well(first 3 digits of the serial no)
It's been a month from the official release of the Huawei flagship. A month that is marked by these disturbing faults to the display unit, fingerprint or face unlock.
The above issues are have been clearly reported to the initial batches of September and October.
It should be really useful if we could register all defects noted in devices from November batch and on.
Please state the manufacturing date of the device if this is from November and on, how many days you have used your device and what defect - if any - you have spotted.
I kindly request you don't make any other comment.
BOE 18B05. Have only had it since today at 11am. Direct replacement from Huawei.
BOE 18B05. No problems whatsoever.
boe 18b08 no issues
LG - 18B09
Got the issue on day one of my exchange from Vodafone, 22nd Nov.
BOE 18B05 which I've had for about 12 days now. Screen still hulk free.
you've mentioned batches grouped by month?
Presumably that is a reference to shipping batches which isn't necessarily the same thing as a build month/batch which is what you need to be accurate as a carrier could be sitting on "old" stock and only just shipping it
I got one direct from Huawei. Its a L29c model sn 18b08 boe screen, so far so good
Before that I had to LG screen in a L09 model so not sure why Huawei swapped it.
LG screen 18B09 Vodafone UK with hulk screen.
BOE 18B05, no problems for 1 week now.
First phone was early LG one, just got replacement from VF UK with serial 18B05 and BOE screen, so far so good.
I have an 18B09 from UK O2 - screen is BOE with no issues...
However the actual screen being scratched is ridiculous. I had nothing on my previous devices, however this BOE specific one is scratching all over the front screen. It's in a bad state after only a few days - not sure how either....

I noticed this on some of the store demo units. The excuse in the shop was always "well they get a lot of abuse", but these were devices that had only been on display for a few days.

I had my previous iPhone for around 3 years and there weren't scratches like this. Even my previous Mate 20 Pros with the LG screens were fine over the 4 or so weeks I had them.

The OLED panel shouldn't have any bearing on scratch resistance, since the glass panel is likely a separate component common to both panel variants. My GS5 is still scratch-free after 4 years. The pitiful lack of RAM running current apps, on the other hand.....
18A31,BOE screen,no issues after 1 week of use.
BOE screen 18A26 second replacement phone from Three UK. So far so good two weeks of use.

Did you get the replacement for a different model?
First day was no problem with screen, saw it was LG... was a bit worried but my batch number didn't match to anyone who had the issue that I could find and BAM today... green screen of hell. ****ing hulk in matter of hours. Returning tomorrow and choosing different brand, from instagram + snapchat problems to camera having poor software but good hardware and now gluegate, there is no reasons phones with faulty screens are still being sold and people have to change 3-4 times to get a BOE one. Shame on Huawei.

Had an 18B02 LG, worst I've had yet. Green discolouration around all edges and glow leaking up the bottom half of the screen.
Who can shares his expérience with the mate 20 pro coming with gluegate issue and green edges (lg screen) does it get worse over time ? Do we can minimise risk and how much time as per your expérience the phone will stand? Got my new mate 20 pro as a gift without any chance of replacemnt with warranty
Never experienced green edge gluegate problem despite the fact that I have an LG display, bought my phone at launch and my phone is part of the batch people on XDA claimed repeatedly was 100% defective.
You see green edges in your display when exactly? In certain apps? All apps? Specific conditions?

In low light when the brightness is at 0 in a grey background the left side is yes greeny and im afraid that it will extend and be unusable as maby video shown in youtube.
Just once brightness increased problem disappear
I got mine just after launch and there is a slight green hue around the edges under the usual conditions (LG panel) but it was never bad enough for me to want to return it. It's not got any worse since I had it (nearly 6 months now.)
If you've only just got yours then I'd imagine you'll be okay as they were supposed to have sorted the issue in later batches.
Had mine since launch, only really shows the problem under very dark conditions. Try taking a picture with another phone, it really does highlight green screen issues. I'm going to return mine this week.
I've had mine for about two weeks and don't have the screen issue as I believe the screen manufacturer was changed from LG to another at some point.

I believe that huwaei are only using BOE screens now
A friend of mine originally got a Verizon V30 with build date of October 2017, which had a very blotchy screen and the power button wasn't as responsive anymore. Through the extended warranty, they got a replacement with a build date of August 2018. The screen isn't randomly blotchy like the original, but the bottom half is noticeably darker than the top half. It's only really distracting on gray backgrounds which are used in dark themes. Has anyone else gotten a replacement recently and what was your experience?

OLED screens are organic so more prone to discoloration, blotching, heat damage, water damage, and burn-ins (not image retention like LCD or plasma). On the other hand OLED screens have the best image, color, and contrast quality (plasma is now extinct and too heavy and power hungry for cell phones) currently. Replacements are like buying used--crap shoot. I would just change his theme and don't nitpick over little stuff.
I received a new V30 with a similar build date and I have the same issue. I ended up just installing a black theme and now I barely notice it.
