Hello all,
As the title says, I bought this for my brother couple of years ago and now it's showing a purple tint (very obvious when running on white background) and also its like I'm seeing a double image in the background-specifically the image, in this case a guitar, as seen in the back; like it's burned in. Is this a serious issue and can it be fixed? Took it to a store and the guy, immediately told me change screen and it will cost almost as much as a new phone. Just wondering if there is another solution.
Thanks, Gary

If you purchased this unit 2nd hand, chances are the display has burn-in damage. You could try this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mert.screenburnfixer&hl=en&gl=US) to see if it will help with the burn in issue. Please note that you should run it for about an hour.

Thanks for the answer. It's from a shop, not 2nd hand. And it happened after 2-3 years of use but not extensive. Talked with Samsung customer service they told me the guarantee is over so nothing can be done. Told them it wasn't my fault if you have faulty hardware that triggers after x amount of time that YOUR machine broke down. It never fell from his hands or anything. Anyways I'll try that app though from what I started reading online, the problem seems to be consistent with many same model phones.

Exactally one day after I received my replacement 8925, the screen on the new device died. The screen almost looks like the contrast is maxed out but I dont think that is the problem. I can barely make out the today screen if I strain my eyes.
I double checked the power options and the backlight is set at the midpoint. I have also tried soft resets and removing the battery, neither seemed to work.
My first 8925 suffered from the RLOD failure. FYI - both the charger and battery are different from what came with my original. Ill try to remember to take some pics tonight if you guys are interested.
Please help! I really do not want to have to send this one back too.

found this on the HTC wiki, it's a much better description of my problem but there was not a solution posted with it.
"My tilt phone screen unexpectedly became very white, with the icons almost appearing as negative images. There seem to be a few lines that run across the screen that seem 'burned in'."
here is the rom, radio and protocol data if it matters.
1.57.502.2
08/25/07
1.27.12.11
2.45.88.07H
anyone?
I have the EXACT SAME problem with the tilt I've been using for TWO HOURS. My screen looks exactly the same as yours.
What ended up happening for you?
Anyone have anything to contribute?
Arranged to send it back for a new one. Really hope this doesn't happen again.
I've the same problem. My phone felt down and then it happend. I've checked all powertape's connecting screen keyboard and mainboard. It look's like screen problem.
So bascially I drop my phone (2 feet off the ground) and it crack the screen.
Everything still works fine, only the glass is broken.
My question is I found LCD replacement on ebay for around $120~.
So if I replace that, is not an OLED anymore?!

I think I found the exact one and I'm pretty sure that is a SAMOLED just named incorrectly I don't think anyone would make a LCD screen for a captivate... but if so a SAMOLED would be well worth it over LCD
if its the screen for a cappy it is the right part and will be the same.
I see thanks,
Just debaiting if I should bother fixing it.
Dont really want to spend the $130~ for a DIY I'm not really comfortable with.
Anyone know some cheaper place for parts.
Contract ending in few months.
Going to switch to another provider which I can get a new phone.
I don't know anywhere you might be able to get one cheap mostly because it's the screen I imagine you can't really buy one that wasn't from a different captivate and since you're about to switch and get a new phone I'd live with it haha it's not worth that much money if you don't plan to use it much anymore
Is the screen and front glass one piece? It looks like the screen under the glass is fine.
I agree that there probably isn't a LCD for the captivate.

I've attached a photo. Simply opened SNote and scribbled to show the area not responding to the Spen. At first I thought possibly a design flaw in my Tempered Glass Screen protector however I ripped it off just now to confirm it is not. Because of a unrelated issue with my wifi Verizon has replaced my phone once within the 14 day window.
I had this problem on my first Note 5 but didn't think twice about it because I was getting a replacement however now I'm seeing the same issue on my second one. Is anyone else experience the same issue?

Holy Cow.. Looks like I should have done a little more Google.. Looks like if you have a case with a magnet.. In which this case I do : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011WD7WMM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 it can wreak havoc with the Spen. Well now I have another case that is useless I guess.
magnets around electronics are never good

I have the platinum (best buy) case with a kickstand and it doesn't do this to me.
The company refunded me and said they were aware of the issue and have made a revised version. However the revised version still uses a magnet of which now I have no interest in my phone near magnets now.

Yes I'm having the same experience just realized it the other day. AT&T did it diagnostic they reveal that was a hardware problem
Just figured this out
Delete Facebook Messenger. Problem solved in both my phone and my brother's phone.
I used this watch for few months
Since I think it is very annoying to charge it every one to two day, I just haven't used it for a long period
Recently ,I wanted to use it again
So I pick it up from the box
I find there are some purple dots on the screen
I think it is cause by water?
I want to know how to fix it
Thank you
There is the pic of my watch

burned pixels
I've got four of them at the top of my screen. Can only see them on white background so I'm not too fussed.
i bought a used G watch R from ebay.... and it also has 8 purple spots on the top left of the screen... i already figured they were dead pixels.... but wow, seems its more common that i thought
Had a couple on the top left of my screen. Under warranty, so contacted LG and they replaced.
I have the spots too. It started with one, now I have several. I also have a glass screen protector on my watch.
Might the screen protector caused them to appear? Do you guys have a screen protector on yours? Thanks!
No glass on mine. I did have a plastic protector, but the circles were present from the very beginning. They did not spread over time, but remained until I decided to get a warranty replacement.
...mine is on the way to the service again. Last year i had several dots wich was repaired under warranty, now the next dots. I contacted the LG Service and they send me a RMA number....now im waiting for news...
Hello guys,
for about 1 month I bought a Mi8 in a german store and noticed, that the Screen has a banding/uniformity.
This was the reason I returned it back and bought a Note9, but the Mi8 is smaller, has better community.
Was I one of the only ones with the problem?

Yep, my screen is experiencing pixel death at an ever increasing rate from the bottom right hand corner.
Gutted.

I'm sorry to hear this. Mine has no issues so far, and if it does develop any, I'm SOL as I live in the US. Issues with Samsung screens aren't unheard of, I remember reading about issues with the S9, take a look here:
https://www.valuewalk.com/2018/03/galaxy-s9-green-screen-purple-slow-camera-pink-line/
The Mi 8's display is made by none other than Samsung. Unfortunately it seems these past few years have not been the best for Samsung in terms of quality.
Same Here...
It is 2 months old.
Man now i hate my Mi 8 and want a new phone.
Amy recommend phones with NFC and Same Performance?
I Hope they take it back
