Hi
I baught the LG Optimus 2x a few days ago and rooting and everything was no big deal but now I have these white sports around the top left and right corner and the bottom right corner. Everything else is working fine.
I read about the problem in a german blog but it was just if ppl could live with it or not and no awnsers. Its not a softwareproblem as far as i know its a hardware problem.
So my question is: Is this a general problem with this device or did I just get a 'bad one'?
Does anyone else have this problem?
Im thinking of giving back the phone and ordering it again but I fear it will just have the same problem again.
Any help is appreciated. Thx
Its a common problem.
Its the backlight thats too bright to "hide" with black pixels..
On most devices it a matter of more or less of this bleeding.
Try to decrease screenbrightness

still have the problem even when its not as bright but thx for the help.
if its a common problem i wont have any luck will i getting a phone without this problem?
I like the phone its fast and everthing but the spots just jump to my eye everytime i use it. THATS NO FUN
i dont notice any whit spots on my device unless its completely dark, a black background is present and the brightnes is really high, then i notice that some corners are slightly brighter but in normal conditions i dont see anything.
so i think there is a good chance that you get one without strong bleeding.

Yea that's me. If I hold the phone with my left palm covering the handset it loses some signal. Not a huge problem.
The worst things about the device at the mo are the awful battery life (which should be fixed with a custom Rom) and the cheap build quality. I've just sold mine because of these issues.
Nice screen though

Yeah the battery issue is definatelt software related. I'm getting much better battery after uninstalling alot of the LG crapware that came with the phone.
A custom ROM would be perfect for this phone because the hardware is really good.
I am also noticing serious signal drop when my left palm covers the left side. However dont have issues in making or receiving calls. Not sure if it will affect 3G usage though.

No drop signal when I hold the phone with my left palm. But Heat & small speaker volume sometimes annoying.

Oh, mine drops rapidly from 4 bars to 1 within 5 seconds. Doesnt happen on 2G network. Also seriously affects 3G download speed. Flat on my table, i can get 3mbps but with my left palm, only 1mbps. Sigh, a little put off with OB now.

that's true. even i have the same problem. also this has been clearly mentioned in the user manual.
Oh, it is mentioned in the user manual? Btw, where can i get the user manual in PDF format?
The user manual come with your box inside, is same with the pdf manual download from LG site also, I'm user from Malaysia too!
Yay, fellow OB user from MY! My set actually from Taiwan. I connect it to the LG Suite but there are no options to download the PDF. The user manual that came with phone is all in Chinese and i dont understand a single letter, haha. Is there a direct link to download the PDF?
Hi guys,
Finally my GN arrived yesterday and I noticed two problems.

Second problem is a fairly serious,,
I just watched the video with a rather dark background and black is not black ..

What is going on with this avesome screen?

For your screen issue, redirect yourself here,

Everybody is facing this. It's a common issue; I presume it to be normal.
Pink spot in Camera? Lol, the last time I read about that were in the S2's.
However, that doesn't sound good. I am 98% sure that we all have the same camera firmware and I'm not having the pink; my shots are perfectly clear. Loving the panoramic views.
On topic--Post your camera firmware as well!
Where is your Galaxy Note made in, this may hint a better conclusion,
Lift the battery of your phone, and Read what it says on the sticker affixed on the back of the phone.
Currently, Korea, China, and Vietnam are the current factories assembling this phone.
Let us know.
Made in China,,anyway how to know my firmware?
My shots are perfect too but only on white background is pink spot.
How to check cam FW?
you can try dialing
*#*#34971539#*#*
and picking the first option "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check"
DO NOT PICK ANY OTHER ITEMS in that hidden menu, or you will F*CK UP your phone.
Okay..tnx.
Check this photo i am sure is good..

I dont think it will get worse, like tv with led bleeding, it usually doent get worse, it normally stays the same way.
Did anybody had problem with dead pixels? I bought my phone 10 days ago and last friday i notice 4 pixel dots glowing blue. I dont know lg policy about this problem because i want to return my phone and get another one.
Lg makes a lot of tv`s
Their proudness would be hurt, send it in on warranty...

I got 2 dead pixels as well. But it is not noticeable unless you load a black screen. So LG refuses to repair nor replace my phone. Smh

...sent with my LG Optimus 4X HD...
I got 1 small RED DOT on mi LCD screen, i found it just turning on my O4XHD. It only appears when the screen in completely in a dark or black image. Very weird.
I barely got my lg flex but the first thing i noticed was when my phone shows white images they has a light blue/greenish tint to it. I just came from the lg g2 and it displayed white images better is this normal or is it my phone.

I dont have G-Flex yet, but on my old Galaxy S, I was able to calibrate the screen with an app called voodoo color. I hope there is a screen adjuster app for the G-flex too or i hope ther will be
I dont have the blu tint anymore ever since the kk update

Never noticed it when i had jb but there were some users that had it and exchanged their phones. I guess there is a handfull out there. Might want to look at the early threads.

I have a LG G Flex and my screen has the blue tint. It is especially noticeable on the top part of the screen and is blotchy blue. The bluish tint goes along the top of screen towards the right of screen about a quarter way down . Other than the bluish blotchy area I described ,the rest of the screen is white.
My phone is set at 50% brightness. At 100% brightness the blueish tint isn't as dark and is barely noticeable.
I have read of others having same issue. If you Google it you will read lots of complaints about the bluish tint in different areas of screen from the top to the bottom.
I bought my phone about 7 days ago at Best Buy.
I had upgraded to Android 4.4.2 on At&t. I Had considered possibly exchanging it for another one but I think bluish tint may be normal.

Wow that's strange. I'm absolutely positive that there's a lot of screen variances between these devices. The G Flex on display in my T-Mobile store had an extremely grey look to it, even on 100% brightness. My screen isn't like that, although it's not as white as an LCD, I'm extremely happy with it.
I just took these 2 pictures with my Nexus 5, one with the flash off and another with the flash on.
agreed; I have had 3 gflex's; the first 2 were perfect white screens, no ghosting; my current one is bad, lots of blue tint, and lots of ghosting..
Yours looks way better than mine. I wonder if I should take mine back. I'm worried I might get one that's even worse than my current phone... Thanks for posting the pictures!!?

unfortunately, thats the risk you take; if you are within your "in store" return period, you could go back to the store and check your replacement out before you take it home, but if you are past that time period, its a roll of the dice..
I'm still within the return period. I might return it on Saturday, which will be day 14 of my return period.
It's a shame, I like the phone and have it set up the way I like it.
The Bluish Screen issue is a bit of concern . I don't know what causes it . I don't know if it will worsen or lead to a future total Screen Failure.
I'm a bit disappointed in Lg though.
I believe they need to work on their quality control and testing before they ship out devices that have an obvious screen defect.
Thanks.

Take it back and check the new phone before you swap to see if the white is white.
