hi, my x2 pro starts to get purple spots all over the display, they are slowly getting bigger and i think in 2 hours it won't be usable anymore. because i custom rommed my phone i won't get any warranty. i emailed realme customer support in europ(i live in the netherland) if they can repair my display, but i am also searching for a new display. i have repaired phones in the past and i know how to. i can't find any replacement parts and i am wondering if i can maybe use oneplus 7t display? i hope someone can help!
take care,
Thomas

Has anybody experienced so far any sort of pixel failure? My Xperia X1 has developed one recently. Its at the upper edge of the screen approximately in the middle. Its one pixel only that is costantly white. Once it was there and disappeared after a while and now it has reappeared.
My device still has got warranty but Im afraid to send it in because of several reasons:
- Would it be covered? I mean it is only a minor disturbance.
- I dont want my phone being replaced. Apart from this minor flaw my Xperia is perfect, no cracks, no keyboard failure, no nothing.
On the other hand if I dont claim warranty now the device might develop more pixel failures and I will not be able to get it repaired under warranty because it (the warranty) will be expired.
What do you think? Has anyone ever heard of such problems?
Mine has not developed any pixel failures yet. Lucky me. When does your warranty expires? I would call up the service line (in Germany we have an Xperia Center) and ask them if it's covered.
But regarding your fear of a new phone - absolutely reasonable. Those could be in much worse condition than your phone is now. Thus mentioned, when ONE pixel failure is not bothering you, keep the phone (in my humble opinion). This does not make the phone likely to have more pixel failures...I would not see a connection
(...but I'm also not a pro in that area)
Hope I could help ya!
The warranty will expire in November 2010. I think I will wait a bit to see in what condition my phone will be in a few months. The pixel failure is barely visible because it is really at the edge of the screen. I doubt that there are more than 2 - 3 pixels between the defective one and the edge. And like I wrote it disappeared once. Maybe the same will happen again.
I really dont want to risk a replacement because of the extraordinary good condition my phone is in right now. So I would say let's see.
Has anybody a tipp what could be done to support the disappearance of the pixel failure? Relative to pc monitors I heard once a proposition to freeze it for 24 hours? Would this really help?
Great news: The pixel failure disappeared again. So I think I can call it a temporary error. Brings a bit of surprise into the normally boring soft reset. I never know whether the pixel failure will be there after the next softreset or not Or if it will disappear again with the next restart
Sending for warranty might be a bit of a game of dice because I know sometimes they replace it with a refurbished phone. If you have big issues with the screen you're probably better off buying yourself a new screen and installing it.
My current Xperia:
Camera has artifacts when takes pics/vids
Keyboard unresponsive
Mic doesnt work
crack in case
i'd send it back because unless its a problem with the like motherboard they should just replace the screen only
Thats exactly what I thought. Since it is only one pixel that fails then and again Im not willing to take the risk of getting my Xperia which is apart from this minor issue in perfect shape replaced by a refurbished phone. So I plan to wait until the warranty will have expired and then Im going to replace the screen myself. It should be possible to do this since I once worked as a radio/ tv technician. Do you know where I can buy a screen?
Greetings form Greece,
Need your help
After several weeks of waiting my moto X came today form US. Was so happy to have such a unique custom device!!
Once i got it from my US based friend I entred my local carrier shop to get a nano-sim, opened the box and inserted the sim to get moto X woriking.
Seconds after I left the shop the phone accidentaly fell to the pavement. I saw two small dents in the side corners and got really sad I did this to my new device.
However soon i realized that the problem was much bigger. My screen went totaly black!
There is no sign of damage or anything, just a small dent in the plastic bezel.
I am sure the phone is working, I hear sounds of booting and shutting down and I feel vibrations from the the digitizer touch.
The screen shows only some green pixels on the botom right corner.
I am really sad
Do i need a new screen or it is smth with a cable connection?
Is it reasonable for the device to be ruined form a 2 feet drop?
I am will not find any spare parts in Greece/Europe. Shall I send to my local Motorola service repair to check?
Any other memeber with similar issues.?
Please help!
go to motorola tech service, is the only solution, you need a new screen, or a new phone
Well, I feel bad for you, but you need to change either the screen or the entire phone.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
I dropped my moto twice and screen is fine
I went today to the Greek local moto repair center,
First time they saw such device, they thought it is moto G.
Awaiting a call if it is a full LCD or a cable maybe. they have no idea if Motorola will provide parts.
If it is a full LCD, how easy is for me to find the part?
I have seen some lcd parts quoting around $250, (nearly the price of the device).
It is a lovely phone, in case i don't find a solution in my country shalll i try to send it to US for repair?
is anybody willing to order and send me overseas a new?
local moto cannot do anything due to lack of spare parts.
any ideas where to get an or original screen?

spoke with them, they need to mail the phone to them, they cannot repair customized devices just issue something like a refund
I had purchased the Moto Turbo (Indian Version XT 1225) for ~USD 650. Recently, in a minor accident it broke. Ouch
>> Visible damage: Top glass seems fine, but the display underneath is cracked, no longer functional (We do not have the free one time screen replacement option that Verizon gives. Plus I did not have any other insurance).
>> Possible invisible damages: Right after the accident, the phone became pretty hot, and it was vibrating every 15 odd seconds for about an hour or so (till it ran out of battery, perhaps). I don't know if the internals suffered from any shock or heat damages.
The authorised service center says the Display unit replacement will cost ~USD 280. Any other possible, though unlikely, damages to the battery/motherboard can be determined only after the display is replaced. I have not been able to find out if display units for the Turbo are available for cheaper from third parties in India, any idea about that?
Now my dilemma. Do I go for the screen replacement for a very expensive ~USD 280. Or do I go in for a cheaper handset. I really liked my Turbo, more than what we have on the market right now, the only two gripes being the camera quality compared to it's peers and the doubtful upgrade to Android M. But it has not had a price reduction, and in the current mobile market, shelling out ~USD 650 for it seems too much.
Thoughts?
I think it's worth fixing.
I broke mine, got the LG G4, got fed up with the LG UI, overheating, lag, bad signal and crap battery so I just sold it and bought brand new Droid Turbo. I'm waiting for it to be shipped since I live in Spain and I had to get it of eBay .
Nothing better on the market atm..
I too am from India and I too broke my turbo screen but fortunately only glass is broken and phone is still usable.
I've not yet looked outside service centre as my phone should be under warranty but also don't want to spend so much just for broken glass. There is no separate glass but need to go for complete screen. I'm going to try local market once I get time to see what are other options before I go to service centre.
I couldn't find another topic regarding broken screen so decided to make this one.
Yesterday I broke my screen . The phone is working, but the screen not at all. Several phone repair shops offered me to fix it for 85-110 pounds. Does it worth it ? A friend of mine said to me that the replaceable screens are not as good as the original ones. If that's the case any idea how much can I get for it if I sell it like that with the broken screen? Best offer I saw was with EE recycle for 60 pounds... Any info is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Well i think its better for a professional to replace the screen, but you can tried it yourself if you know how. You can get parts really cheap and there are a lot of videos on yt on how to do it. But still I would rather let a professional fix it
I recently broke my screen, even though the touch still works, I want to change the front panel. The problem is I cannot send it to motorola because they dont have the service in my country. So where can I buy a replacement screen for my phone? I have seen a few on ebay and AliExpress and they dont even have the moto logo on it, which means its a duplicate and I will not get the quality of the original display. Please help a way out for me. I haven't even used the phone for a week by now!
