Hi,
A friend did buy a leeco cool c103 on my advice. Device was taken care of and was only dropped once in a case(it has no visual damage at all, still looks brand new). It still has the screen protector on it and the sticker on the back but now somtimes I see horizontal lines all through the screen, it started with backlit flickering a like 4 or 5 weeks ago(not really sure)
I personally think its some chip dying or because of a shock that caused a chip bga chip to get a poor connection.. Like a cracked solder ball, maybe theres no underfill under the chip ?
Did somebody else had/or is having the same problems/symptoms? Is this a sign of pre hw failure?
Device is not even a year old. The person who uses it doesn't do gaming and heavy multi tasking, always used the original charger etc..
Can somebody give me more details on this or is my friend just having bad luck with this device?
By the way it was purchased at AliExpress. Runs the last EUI 5.8.018S (Stable).

Hey,
I have an ATT tilt 2, running an Energy rom. It worked great till 3 days ago, when I noticed a "light" spot on the screen (about 50mm in diameter) , like something had scratched some film away.
I disregarded it as just that, a scratch, but the next day the screen was completely unresponsive. If I press on the spot, it "fills" with a darker color, I am guessing this is the digitizer pressing into the LCD screen, the screen then becomes responsive for a few seconds (Just long enough for me to reset my alarms!), but not always.
I have ready through these forums and online, and it sounds like I damaged something, digitizer or LCD, but I am not sure which I need to replace.
Also, I have read that replacing just one or the other can be problematic as they need to be aligned just so and with no particles in between, but I cannot find any Digitizer+LCD assemblies online for Tilt2...
So I guess what I am looking for is:
Based on above, do I need just Digitizer or LCD or Both?
Can you point me in the direction of a good vendor? The ones I have found are either selling just tmobile or generic replacements (which if I understand are incompatible with the att version cause of camera placement?) or are very unclear which version they are selling and do not clarify it in emails...
Thanks XDA Forums, keep up the good work!

Do You Have A Screen Protector On Your Phone?
@ Doo Doo
Nope, deluded myself into thinking I was careful enough to not need one... that mistake won't happen again ><

If it's under warranty, do an exchange. That would be the easiest/cheapest option. HTC provides a 15 month warranty normally. Going through your carrier would be a better option, however, as they usually just swap out the headset. If you have no warranty, then just search eBay or Google for the digitizer and LCD. They normally come together. Based on your description of the problem, you'll need both anyhow. Some come with instructions, and some don't. YouTube has a few videos detailing the replacement, though.
I have had a very similar problem on two Tilt 2s now. Looks like the glue leaks out of the side of the plastic over the lcd. Both phones did this on the right side of the screen.
Just in case anyone turns this up in a search like I did and can't swap the phone thru their carrier....
Global Parts Direct sells the ATT versions of these, though the LCD was out of stock at the time of this posting. (I'm too much a newb to post a direct link.)
I just had the same thing happen to me and I was able to swap the phone out with AT&T.
Oddly enough, the bubble wasn't there when I called AT&T but showed up the next day. My screen was unresponsive, called, went through a ton of questions but I had gone through this before with a couple of Fuze phones.
One thing I noticed before this happened which appears to be symptomatic before the phone becomes unresponsive is a large rectangle appears on the phone's LCD. It doesn't obstruct the viewing or anything I have just noticed that it has been on all my phones that have had trouble with the LCD/digitizer.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Shame to admit but terrible...
I am looking into repairs right now for the phone my girl used for the last two years. I bought her HTC HD7 for time being.
Well...here it goes:
1. Touch Screen goes funny, you need to lock-unlock the screen 1-2 times for it to react normally again.
2. The main case lock is a bit loose. The spring mechanism is still strong though making the screen semi detached from the main case. (I am really sorry for my English, I had a bottle of wine in me too, which I am sure doesn't help, but I hope you will get me) Basically the phone case is not locking fully.
3. USB port is dead. No, really dead! Charges under certain angle. Computer won't even recognize the phone.
4. Microphone is dying. People complain that I sound like I am using a speaker phone.
5. Power chip died a few month ago. Had to repair. They re-soldered it, which was pretty impressive considering the fact how small it is. (they gave me the old one in a plastic bag as a souvenir.
I mean, yes, my girl friend is not so good with Tech stuff... I beg you to check the phone yourself before buying it. It depends a lot on the user... They are not the highest quality build, although they certainly look very solid.
Regards,
A
PS - power chip = power management chip. Won't charge/turn on

Got two of them and both work flawless and I've yet made the jump to WP8 though I recently bought a Lumia 520 for a friend's daughter and will likely make the jump soon. Still waiting on where some are going with the Samsung Ativ S and interop unlock.
Sold mine to a friend which has a habit of breaking his phones, and now, a year and a half down the road, the phone is still going strong.
The metal bezel around the screen has changed color due to hard wear, and the back cover is both dented and scratched, but the phone it self is working as normal.
I would give this a 5 out of 6 for durability.

Has anyone had any good experiences with screen crack repairs with UK services?
Sadly my boss leant his elbow on mine and the tiny cracks now have made the touch screen unusable (Ive got a note 3 in the mean time- FWIW the note 3 has a waaaaaay better camera and is a more practical unit, but I do prefer the UI, speed, battery and screen space of the ZU for sure... just a shame it cant do 4k video like the n3!)
Heard that amoled pixels die over long usage . Samsung stopped production of super amoled "plus" displays due to some serious problems. So, if amoleds die fast, amoled pluses die even faster ?
I am planning to buy a used S2, so shall I buy it ? Any real problems related to displays ? Anyone actually experienced such problems in S2 ? If a buy an S2 now , will its display last for next four years ? till 2018 ? Funny , but I am serious.
Will the pixels in S2 die ? and the screen will become black at some minute portions ?
Sorry for my bad english
Please help.
I personally wouldn't buy a 2nd hand S2. Expecting a phone that's already been used for up to 3 yrs to last another 4 yrs is expecting too much. We see more & more devices with faults nowadays (which is normal for any electronic device with age really), you're almost certain to have some kind of hardware issue(s) at some point. Plus you more than likely have no idea of the 'history' of the phone (what's gone wrong with it up until now).
For me, that would be a no go unless I either got it for free or really cheap (like AUD$25, tops). The only really cheap repair you can do yourself is the USB board which is about 10 bucks, anything else starts to become expensive, like the screen or motherboard, which can as much as or more than what you pay for the phone (depending on how much you pay, obviously). You'd be better off getting something newer/2nd hand.
If you can't afford that, you're going to have to decide whether to take the chance or not, and nobody here can tell you with any certainty how long the phone will last before developing faults (despite what they may tell you; anything people here do say is guessing/bull****), I mean, we've seen phones a few weeks old with faults, and some people have had their phones 2/3 yrs without having anything go wrong hardware-wise. It's the luck of the draw, as the saying goes.
To check if that display is heavily used,open a pure grey,white or blue image in full screen at lowest brightness and look for strange lines,stripes,patches,burn-ins,tints,uneven brightness and so on...everything that shouldn't be there.If everything's fine - you're good to go.IMO,if you'll take it,the only thing you might notice in another few years will/may be a slightly reduced max brightness and a little less blue push,but I guess you already know all this stuff,it seems you own a similar amoled-powered device.
So I cracked my screen on my note 4 and bought a new note 4 off ebay it was a "for parts" one. But the screen looked fine so I took a chance I put my motherboard in and it seemed to work... but I noticed looming at any picture and video on it its ended up being really blurry...everything else looks fine like icons and whatnot. But yeah any media ducks bad and youtube won't eve. Let me put the video quality past 1080p... I got a bunch of screen checker apps and they all say the resolution is 1440 so I'm not sure what's up... the 's pen doesn't work rather which usually means that it's knockoff... but on the inside it still has that copper layer behind the screen that is for the s pen... also the cables and chip connected to the screen are identical to my regular not 4....it does not look fake...is there any chance that this is some software glitch or the plugs are dirty or something or does it seem like I got a knockoff screen. ..the whole phone looked brand new just hard to believe it's fake especially since all the markings and hardware seemed idental on both phones...I'm so confused.. plz halp meh...
