Last night, using my nexus one, I sent a text and put my phone in my pocket. When I took it out 10 mins later, my screen was broken. The screen is not cracked in any way. The top of the screen was filled with yellow pixellines, the bottom was black. As the evening proceeded i kept it in my pocket, it still received text messages and this morning my alarm went off, so it's just the screen. As i checked on it, the scheme on the screen changed. purple colors in the bottom corners, totally black, a light pinkish layer across the entire screen...
I was wondering if this would fall under the warranty and if anyone has had a similar problem.
If it were mine, I would certainly be trying to get it fixed under warranty.
OUCH! Post how it turns out please. Good luck.

and does anyone have any experience with sending the telephone in from abroad? like... europe
Thought this was going to be an easy repair. Obtained a new screen from Repair Universe (Really quick). Followed the video and several take apart guides. Put the phone back together, turned it on, Get the Motorola Logo screen, bottom keys light up and then the screen goes blank, Have to pull the battery to shut it down. SO, I put the old screen back in, turned it on, Motorola Logo again and the then the screen dims to where you can hardly see what's there, but it goes through the boot process. Anybody have any ideas as to what the hell I did to screw it up? Swapped the screens around several times hoping I'd remember something and magic would happen but no such luck!! Thanks, Howie
Replacing the Bionic's LCD is one of the simplest phone repairs I've ever done. It's possible you got a faulty screen, or it's possible that the LCD is not your problem. I've purchased from them a few times but never had a problem...might want to check what their return policy is.
Yeah, plug and play! Should have taken 30 minutes tops? What has me puzzled is the old screen dims right out now so I screwed something up? Sorta hoping this happened to someone else ans they figured it out before I send it in for repair.....

Couple questions I had which may help clarify a few things, and could help in troubleshooting or finding someone who had a similar problem..
Why are you replacing the screen, was the screen dimming before you tried the replacement or only after?
Are you running stock blur or are you rooted/rom'd?
Information like that can go a long way to diagnosing the actual problems.
It's rooted and it's not a stock rom. I bought the phone and the LCD screen was damaged, so I ordered a replacement. I could still use it with the damaged screen but it had several white lines going down it. I rooted the phone and loaded a different rom before I switched screens and it was fine until I switched lcd's.

It's probably a faulty LCD in that case, as long as the old LCD is working as it was. If not then perhaps you damaged the back light circuit.
The old screen doesn't work anymore. Correctly anyway. The old screen is real dim?

I would have to agree with brandogg, could be the back light that is having the problem and that is why the old broken LCD is going dim now.
I'm assuming that the dimness problem occured only after the install of the replacement LCD since you only mentioned the lines as being the original problem.
One thing you could check is if the auto brightness is enabled. I would disable that and set the brightness as high as it will go and see if you still have the dimness issues.
That's when the dimness started on the old screen, after I installed the new one. I'll try to check the brightness after work. Thanks for the idea. I'll post back.

Hello, I've had my watch for a week now and something is starting to annoy me. The screen is perfectly fine but when the watch goes in dimmed mode, the screen turns the image into a bad quality one (maybe to prevent burn-in?) but that's the the annoying part, the problem is that two part of the screen are darker in dimmed mode (top left and top right) so any watchfaces that I put look out of place.
I tried taking a picture of it but I can't get it to show exactly what I see. http://imgur.com/A20sLRb (I used a white face to display it better. The dark spots look bigger and darker in person)
Does it happen to some of you?
Whoa. I've never seen anything like that on my screen. Did you sand down the watch? After only a week? Looks pretty cool. I would tell you to try and return the watch if it's just a week old but I guess that's out of the question now.

Yeah I bought it because I saw you could sand it. I didn't like the mat black finish.
After using the same watchface for some time and going back to the white one to test the screen, I can see new dark spots corresponding to the watchface I used. So it is probably screen burn-in, but why would it only show when in dimmed mode? That's pretty weird.
Alright guys, trying to fix my s6 edge. Already removed the logic board and pulled the battery and I nothing changed. When I try to do any kind of reset the screen may darken a little but remains unchanged otherwise. It has a constant bright blue (looks white) light. The screen itself is white with random darker markings across it. I'd upload a picture but currently don't have permission to do so.

I bought a screen of eBay which said it was OEM but who knows? Anyway I had the screen installed at a phone repair shop and it seemed to work fine until I walked out of the store and turned it on to notice that the screen was black and white. I turned it on and off again and it went back to normal but i went in to tell them anyway when i was walking in I turned the screen in and off a couple times to see if I could get it to go black and white again and sure enough if did. It seems to turn black and white every couple times I turn it on and off. It doesn't flicker back and forth and it doesn't charge when I'm using the phone also i had a custom ROM installed so I got rid of that to see if it would fix it it didn't and I reset the entire device to no avail but I did notice that to this point I haven't had it go black and white while in the boot-loader and i have tried a lot turning it on and off again and again. I also noticed that there are lines bouncing in the background when the screen is black and white which are also visible when the screen is normal but only barely. Apart from that the screen seems to shake when its in black and white and sometimes the touch wont work for a couple seconds its not a big deal because you can just turn the screen on and off to fix it but its a very strange problem i have contacted the seller and I talked to the man who installed it but I was wondering if it was possible that it was some kind of software issue it seems unlikely but the fact that it doesn't flicker on and off its just either on or off and the fact that i cant seem to get it to happen in the boot-loader is making me wonder I also tried recording my screen and the screen was recorded normally when it was black and white to me.
