I get this problem where if my digitizer touches the LCD it fades and gets really dark grey. And in some of my tighter jeans it does it. I don't know what the problem is but mine is still responsive. I too would like to know why it does this.

I get the darkens digitizer problem as well, espicially in my tighter jeans. The problem goes away after a while and I've already warrantied one vivid for this problem. Must be some sort of manufacturer defect? Anyone know why this happens?

Do you guys use any case ?? Because I was wondering that , due to our sitting posture pressure is exerted on the screen which leads to this problem . So I would be trying an otterbox soon to see if the exists ..

yah, I've had the same problem WITH my otter box covered phone. The phone doesn't take stress and pressure well. I just tap it on the table lightly and that seems to relieve the pressure issue. But I'm using the commuter.

Thanks for the heads up
Kinda sucks that we have to watch which jeans we put our phone in, but honestly I haven't been able to put this phone down it's so amazing! Looking to get this thing rooted soon and up to speed with the latest and greatest XDA goodness.

i dont have any case right now .. but what i'm thinking to do is by a solid case.. so that the screen doesn't get pressure directly.. because the case might protect it ..
what you think??
anyone else with such a problem?

screen whiting
I have the same jeans problem. I don't know the cause. Seems to be pressure and heat combination. It's better in my front pocket, with the screen facing away.

I have never had this issue with my vivid

It's a sad day today for my Nexus...

So today I am just chillin, and pull out my phone from my pocket and I didnt really grip it hard and just falls from my hands... I swear when it dropped it felt that it was falling in slow motion. And out of all the places it could fall, it falls at an angle and then on the screen.
I picked it up and I see the top of the screen has a crack from one side to the other, and another crack on the bottom right corner. And it gets worse, when I turned on the screen the touch doesnt work at all so basically my whole screen is messed up.
Found a website that sells the screen already glued with the frame and a battery so all its missing is the motherboard and internal stuff.
Buttt its $170 so yea gotta wait till next week when I get payed.
I would post pics but dont have 10 posts so yea, it really sucks I've had the phone for about a month and I always protected it. :crying::crying::crying:

Sorry to hear that but I've read that LG will repair your screen for less than that.

hmmm..... But isn't LG already being super slow to produce the device itself, would probably take them a month to do it and I kinda need a phone

Asking them to give you a price and time estimate cannot hurt. Additionally, the limiting step of production is more likely everything that goes on that motherboard, not the touch screen.

Damn man, that sucks. The first time my Nexus was dropped was from my friend being careless... So because of that, I made it so that no one except me can use my phone. I hated my friend for doing that because it was the first hour I had my phone...
But for the screen fix, try to see if you can find a lower price. Doesn't hurt to continue searching the web.

LG will not give you a quote. They will only say, "We cannot give you a quote without you sending it in. Please send the phone in to us, with you being responsible for shipping, and then once we've had a chance to look at it, we will let you know the cost of the repair."
Even after I pushed saying how about the front lcd and digitizer, they still wouldn't give me an estimate.

Sam Thing happened to me.. just 1 crack but half the touchscreen doesnt work.. i've seen plenty of ppl with cracked iphones whose touch still works.. called lg and they told me the same thing. Don't know if its worth wasting money on shipping just to find out they charge more for repair.. kind of a risk. Did you ever end up getting it fixed?

So was it worth not having a case?

Life is like a pubic hair on a toilet seat. You're gonna get pissed off sometimes.

In US is something like $140...in UK I will let you know on Friday when I receive the quote

That really sucks... Something about these new phones, in particular the ones with the new touch sensor in glass or whatever they call it. The touch response is gone on a crack. I recall my first Droid had two cracks across the entire face and it worked flawlessly... I think I'd rather have that 1mm gap in the display/glass then have to replace it due to a simple crack.

Ouch that really does suck
Hope you get it fixed pretty soon

knock on wood, i hope i don't drop it, i have butter fingers too, i did let it slip once but i had the usb cable in it still and it only fell like 2 foot on soft wooden floor, if you drop it from your pocket( 4ft >) and it hits hard floor like cement, its a goner i think!

Dust under my screen!?!?!

It literally appeared today. At first I thought it was a dead pixel but it's not completely black it's gray and also I looked at it with a magnifier and it's not square it's like a blob.
Is there any way to get it out or something without taking the phone apart? Since it got there randomly today and wasn't there out-of-box.

Dust shouldnt get under the screen so bring it back.

It's miniscule and they will probably think I'm crazy what if they don't give me a new one, no solutions?

They way the screen is manufactured should prevent any dust form ever getting inside the screen. There is a special "goo" that is filled in between the gap of the lcd and digitizer. Any dust in the screen was left there in the manufacturing process. I had the same issue, I just went to the place I bought the phone and exchanged it. Now I am happy.

I actually have a speck under my screen too. I've only had my One a little over a week and I noticed it a few days ago when I decided to check for dead pixels since a few people have had them. Thought it was at first, like you did, but I see it with my screen off. I'm on AT&T so are they known to try to brush off a little spot like that? I know they really shouldn't be able to professionally but I just don't want anybody to try to give me any lip for complaining.
If there is a potential opening for dust I sure as hell don't want any more and muddy up a beautiful device. Sounds like I should exchange mine too, huh?

I really hope this isn't going to be a problem, the sensation was plagued by this issue, but it had no where near the level of build quality of the One. I sent my sensation back to htc and they replaced the screen. If it gets worse then send it back.

I havent tried bringing my phone back yet for the dust but this is the second One I've had because the first kept shutting off by itself so if anything you could fib and say it keeps restarting itself randomly on you cause then they'd had to excange it HAHAHA I have AT&T too and they can be **** heads when you try to get replacements
Good luck!

Yeah I have until Friday until my 2 week replacement period is up so if it continues to bother me I'll bring it back to AT&T

[Q] Screen in cold weather?

Hey guys, so I got my Pebble a few days ago and I noticed when driving in the car that there was purple "wrinkles" all over the screen. I turned off the pebble and sure enough they were still there. I took a picture http://imgur.com/OAp5D31
So, once I got inside the house I noticed it disappeared for the most part. I can still see it if I look at the screen from the side but not if I was looking at it head on. I figured it might have to do something with temperature because it was fairly cold in the car. Has this happened to anyone? I'm fine if this is normal, but if this is a defect I would definitely want to exchange it for another one.

I have definitely seen the "wrinkles" you're describing. I'll try to make sure I look at them next time I walk the dog and report back.

Thanks, I'm sitting in a warm room and they seem to be mostly gone. If I tilt the watch though and look at it horizontally I do see like a "wrinkled frame" around the screen. Would you be able to look at it from the same angle and tell me if you get the same thing?

Definitely do, and always have. I believe it's something that all Pebbles experience due to the type of screen.

This is the nature of the screen even though they don't say it's lcd, it seems like these type of screens ha very this effect.
Typically seen on lcd watches and calculator screen.
Normal finding.

Thanks a lot guys. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have a defective unit and have the screen stop working on me later on when it would be too late to exchange/return.

I think there is a polarizing film to add contrast that shows the waves in certain light

I see that when I look at my watch through my polarized sunglasses.. in 65 degree weather. Strange..

I have the new Oakley red based polarized lenses and can't read it at all, but the older gray based I can
Sent from my HSG1279 using Tapatalk 2

I sure see that on my screen too, but not necessarily in cold weather only, here in India in my city, the coldest it gets is 15-16degree Celsius which is 60degree farenheit... Also, my screen is a little yellow-ish at the bottom. Anybody notice that?

I have actually had the same thing. I originally saw it when wearing my polarized Oakley's but I thought if was just the lenses. I actually can barely see my Nexus 5 screen with them on as well.

Its funny their new red based polarized lenses are supposed to be better with polarized LCD screens..I can see my phone better with the new ones but the pebble not so much
Sent from my HSG1279 using Tapatalk 2

My Pebble was the same but I notice that this only happen when you use a white watch face, now I use a dark watch face and the problem is gone. Maybe you guys can try that trick.
Good luck.

screen not responding after dropped

Hi just dropped my xperia z from about 5 foot height onto pavement and the screen is not broken but it isnt responding to any touch.
Is there any chance it can be fixed without fitting a new screen?

That mean touch may be broken get to some hardware repairs shop

just asked the guy who fixes my phones he said bring it in and ill see, said it could be digitizer which if it is then im ****ed.
had enough of this, broke the screen 2 months ago and spent £150 fixing it and £20 for a broken sensor.
arghhhhh.

Flashed a new firmware on it whilst deleting everything on the phone through pc companion but still no luck.

Im confused here, the phone guy said the digitizer is built in with the screen but im checking on ebay and theyre selling a seperate digitizer.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Touch-S...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d1637f583
So if the screen is ok and digitizer broken would installing a new one fix it?
Let me know please, confused and angry,

Apparently the screen and digitiser are glued together, making it extremely likely that one or the other will break when attempting to separate them.

It started working all by it self.
Thank god

Hi I'm trying to find a case that will protect my screen something like a thin plastic sheet my mate has such a cover for his iPhone 5.
Or is there a thick screen protector that someone can recommend?
