The screen has cracked for a very long time but still functional. Just now, it fell once again and then a white-ish thin line appeared at the very right corner, but I ignored it as it does not disturbed me. Few hours later, I think i put a little pressure into this pressure (But I'm pretty sure i am not, because my the only thing i did was to put it inside of my jeans pocket) and poof! Half of the screen cannot be seen clearly (refer picture). But still could function as in I could still use the touch screen mode at the affected area. Could this lcd screen problem be saved without replacing the lcd with a new one? Replacing it is my last resort if I could save it DIY. Help me, thanks!
Yeah, sure, via a software update. That'll also give you wireless charging, but only if you charge the phone inside the microwave.
You've cracked the screen! What sort of DIY fix you assume can exist, besides replacing it?
tired of cheap ebay screens, what replacement screen do yall recommend?
OnePlus RMA. It isn't overly expensive.
From memory, it was around £90 for me.

The other month the metal frame round my Desire came loose to the point that it protruded quite uncomfortably in the hand. I bought and fitted a whole new case which was no problem, however now it lets in a lot of dust, mostly through the middle left of the screen, and I'm not talking about a little bit of dust, it lets in crazy amounts that after 2 weeks ends up obscuring the screen completely and I have to take it apart and clean it. I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean:

I think it's to do with the seal but I'm not sure exactly. Anyone else had this issue, or could help? Thanks.
There is a bit of a seal between the glass and the metal in the desire which you might need to replace one way or another. I also think the glass is put on during manufacture in vacuum conditions.
People who repair watches or replace batteries on watches that require to go x number of meters under water have to go through a similar process. Might be worth seeing what they can do.
it's quite unfortunate. Good luck with sorting out the issue.
I have the same problem. I once dismantaled the entire thing, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It mostly got cleared for a while but then came back.
I've gotten used to it now...
So if I wanted to replace it, would i replace the LCD screen itself or the digitizer? Not sure as the photos of where I can buy both of these items do not make it very clear which part I need.
MOST phones are just the glass itself. LCD Digitizer is the LCD display this is like this

but many phones the digitizer is attached to the glass(My Galaxy S 4g) I would just recommend going to your local flea market and look for a phone guy. They're the cheapest.
Depends how much it´s scratched, but general is just the digitizer.
That's what I thought. The LCD screen is a tad recessed for it to be the top of the screen... now i know for future reference
Wow you hardly broke it :$
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Are you sure it's not the shatter-resistant film that's scratched? It can be removed, and the screen won't scratch as easily (just try not to drop the phone if you do)
That would be it, the only thing i ever removed from my screen was the thing plastic protector that all devices have on their screens now.. Thanks!
HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!
Ur poor phone...when i see it i thing it is better buy a new one or insurance...
So I noticed earlier today there's a small gap on one side between the glass and the body. My ocd is killing me. The issue I have is dust, dirt and other small debris can settle within the crevice.

Does anyone else notice this?
Edit: pic updated
I haven't noticed this yet on mine but just got it 3 days ago. I will keep looking as I have a bit of OCD too.
I believe I also have a whee bit of a gap on the left side , but it is so small it doesn't bother me. I don't think I could get a picture of it if I tried it is so slight. I really had to look at it to convince myself it was even there. Your first picture makes it look quite obvious on yours though. I assume you're having it replaced because of bad pixels so hopefully the next one will be 100%.
Yes I'll be taking mine back due to this and 7 dead pixels. These two things made it an easy choice whether to return or keep it.
UPDATE: Contacted motorola. They said either i ship mine back to them and then theyll send me a new one. or they ship me a new one put a $200 hold on my CC and then once received, i ship mine back to them.
Hi everyone,
The blue streaks have actually been there a few weeks now, but the red one just appeared. Can something like this be fixed; aside from lcd replacement?
Thank you

Okay perhaps not backlight bleed, more like stuck pixels. I've run the various stuck pixel tools for a couple days now, to no avail. Guess I just have to put up with it. Cheapest replacement lcd I've found is $40.
Has no one else experienced this with their Nexus 7?
Nope, looks like a damaged lcd. I expect there has been pressure applied to it or something. My best bet is that you cannot fit this with any software.

Yeah that appears to be the case. Well it's def out of warranty, guess I'll just nurse it along till the Nexus 7 2016 (assuming it actually is) comes out.
I have a very little Slot over my first Headspeaker near the Camera. There is some dirt and i dont know if other has the same Problems.
I got my Phone around 2 Weeks and for that Price that is a shame.
I attached Photos where you can see it.

Google Support says its normal.
The gap shown in the picture shouldn't be there.
Best Joke ever: Google Support says its normal.
I agree, that gap should not be there. Not on mine. Call them back, tell them you went to Best buy or a VZ store to compare and you have this big gap that they don't.
You said you just got it, return it to where you bought it so you don't get stuck with a refurbished from Google..... assuming you bought it new.
Reading the chat history in the picture, the employee might think of the speaker cutout. You could try to highlight the gap in some color.
This slot is normal, try gently using a clean soft bristle toothbrush to sweep it out. That's what I do. Works great for the speaker grills and charging port as well!
You are right but this was the Beginning of the Chat. They know now what i mean but says the Photos are not enough and want a Video or more Photos.
