This is not my work, give my friend [MENTION=336735]tyson[/MENTION] a thanks for that!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guskax:
I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahirsb:
I updated my grand 2 to 4.4.2. But I found slow net issues. Then I decided to back to 4.3 jellybean. But I flash again true odin. But suddenly hang in updating. I remove battery. But I put battery now my phone not charge not going to on . I use many methods to make again download mode. But fail. I have no any jtag. Please give me any easy way to put back my grand 2 in normal position. Please help please
[G3 General] ladelfm:
I'm contemplating returning the G3 but need to ask everyone who owns the model if your units suffer the same issue or if this is just an LCD issue in general. I'm comparing on white backgrounds this noise/textured pattern reminiscent to a digitizer somewhat that literally for me defeats the purpose of having a QHD screen since it's the only thing I notice. When looking at my S4 AMOLED there is no such issue, and I just checked out the HTC One M8 with its Super LCD 3 in store and it doesn't seem to have the issue. The Xperia Z2 does also have this effect as well. Can anyone comment on this, and tell me how does it not distract you if it is there since for me it is a deal breaker!
[G3 General] Kev13Dd:
I see it too- I just assumed it was my screen protector though...

[G3 General] transfo47:
I just realized this. I don't think a replacement will help. Seems like a panel problem. Until LG acknowledges this and ships out a fresh batch, I think I'll hold off on a replacement.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I've seen this on every G3 so far that I've looked at. It's not the digitizer because you'd see that when the screen was off.
[G3 General] Enddo:
My AT&T variant doesn't have any visible digitizer pattern
[G3 General] hello00:
i dont see it on mine either
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
Its very hard to see. It can be seen on a white or light grey background. It almost looks like pixelation. Hard to explain.
[G3 General] ladelfm:
It's not a digitizer pattern, definitely has to do with the lcd. Just reminded me of a weak digitizer annoyance. You have to look for it though but once you notice it you'll never unsee it
[G3 General] Enddo:
Seems like a vague statement. With the incredibly powerful cameras and even microscopes that can be done to really see these screens in detail, where is a picture of this 'visible screen texture'?

I can put the display all the way up against my face and can not see any texture you speak of. Please help to explain or at least show what you're talking about
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
OK do you have your G3 rooted? Probably you've got G3 with JDI panel, why don't you try to find it out and vote in that thread http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/g3-display-manufacturer-t2824310 ? Sony has also such patterns because they also use their own JDI panels.
[G3 General] bpodnar:
I think that someone here is "looking for hair in the egg"!
[G3 General] t1m1t:
I have this problem as well. I actually thought it was a real problem and went to get a replacement about 4 times. After the fourth one, I gave up after noticing that a lot of the G3s have it. I looked at a lot of display models (best buy and att stores) and looked at a lot of G2s as well. At first I was really annoyed by it, but now I've gotten used to it
[G3 General] scy1192:
I can see it on mine in certain conditions, but most of the time it's not visible. Same with any other device I've had, really.
[G3 General] Nitemare3219:
I think I see what you're talking about, I just don't know how to explain it. I can only see it on a bright white area, and I'm guessing it's a result with the panel and how high the resolution is. I don't mind seeing it though... I don't see it as a defect since others are reporting it. MUCH less of an issue (if one at all) compared to a yellow screen area or something. Comparing this display to 1080s which never did this isn't fair. The technology is too new and doesn't have anything to compare to.

Not everyone can be expected to see it or notice it, especially since near sightedness is going to vary amongst people. Uncorrected, I can see extreme detail on objects within a 1-2 feet, but I can't see any details past 20 (signs are unreadable, etc). When I am using corrected vision though, my near vision gets slightly worse and the effect is less pronounced.

Sent from my LG G3
[G3 General] düdldihüü:
Yep, I noticed this as well. However, it is mostly only visible when the screens shows only a single color. E.g., it's really visible if you use an app like Dead Pixel Test. Under normal conditions, I've only seen it a few times, which is fine with me. The real problem still is the oversharpening.
[G3 General] Sharpshooterrr:
I have seen maybe about 30 different G3s now, all of them have it but with varying levels of visibility.
[G3 General] leomd333:
It's one of those issuses there is probobly no point worrying about. All G3's probobly have it, nothing we can do about it (at the minute). If it bothers certain people that much, get a different phone :p
[G3 General] ladelfm:
Done and done! Switched to the M8 and the super LCD screen is fantastic, Crystal clear. Love the G3 and I'll miss it but once I noticed that issue it was basically game over for me.
[G3 General] hijax2001:
I agree with others that it's only apparent in unique moments, typically where black text is on a light background. After a bit of thought, I've decided that certain apps are not able to display the high resolution that the G3 can produce...so dithering artifacting occurs.
[G3 General] helikido:
Its not an issue. I have seen it on every single lg g3 and its only visible on high brightness with a white background. And it seems like some models show it more than others, but most are acceptable.
[G3 General] manaox2:
I think I saw what you mean. Doesn't really bother me. Also found a dead pixel. Sucker is so tiny though, I don't think I care.
[G3 General] jimmydigital00:
It's called lcd clouding and is very common with led tvs too.
[G3 General] helikido:
WRONG. Its the digitizer of the display that shows. It has the same patern of th3 digitizer than you can see with the screen off under strong light.
[G3 General] leomd333:
Fair enough then! :p
[G3 General] deadkenny64:
You can count my G3 as one that has no visible digitizer under any condition. I could see it faintly on my N7 so I know what to look for. Under the most revealing conditions it is still invisible on my phone.
[G3 General] leomd333:
Is it the digitiser or LCD everyone can see? If the digitiser, that is normal for 90% of devices.
[G3 General] helikido:
Can you tell us what model it is that you have?

Pretty sure the digitizer. Im also sure that it is NOT visible on 90% of the devices since the g3 is the first phone i had that you can see it with the screen on.
[G3 General] leomd333:
Hmm, that is just the Digitiser Matrix. Under sunlight it is visible on most devices ive used, Nexus 5, G2, G3. I suppose they are all LG's. It might just be how lg's screens are manufactured. I cant see it unless im under blazing sunlight and i havent even noticed it yet on my G3.
[G3 General] helikido:
On every lg g3 i have seen, if i turn the brightness all the way up and look at a white background on the screen i can clearly see the pattern as some kind of phaze. Its fuzzy. But in normal use it is not noticible at all.
[G3 General] leomd333:
Hmm maybe it isnt the visible digitiser then, that sounds more like the actual LCD. I may be wrong though.

Edit: just tested it at 100% brightness on a grey image. I can see it, it's like lines vertical and horizontal. But still, why does anyone care? I cant notice it without looking for it. Dead pixles on this 2k display are eaiser to see!
[G3 General] helikido:
Believe me, it is the digitizer because it has the same pattern when i see it under direct sunlight when the screen is off. Its not even an issue though. Its just there and barely noticible.
[G3 General] leomd333:
See my edited previous post :p
[G3 General] helikido:
Lol is that a joke about the dead pixels? Idk how you can see that haha.

And for me well its relatively easy to notice once you noticed it. I think you might have me now lol
[G3 General] leomd333:
Ok yes I exaggerated, On my first G3 i had a dead pixel haha But i had to look for it :p But still even after seeing it (I seen it the first fay i had the G3 just didnt take notice) i never see it without looking for it :p
[G3 General] helikido:
Im amazed that you could even spot a dead pixel on it lol
[G3 General] leomd333:
Ive had so many in the past ive just given up caring, but i think my current G3 has none haha
[G3 General] helikido:
Ive only had dead pixels on a old psp lol. Nothing else i think haha
[G3 General] deadkenny64:
I have the D851. I looked at it under all of the conditions here including without my glasses (I am nearsighted) at about 4 inches away. I know what you are describing because I have seen it on other phones. Definitely absent on this particular phone. I should consider myself lucky because it is very hard for me to unsee any issues once I notice them.
[G3 General] helikido:
Interesting. I mean i cant see it on mine unless on high brightness and white light background. Thus phone seems to varry allot in screen properties which is weird and annoying. Its like playing your luck. Luckily my luck is good.
[G3 General] GoogleAndroid:
I can see it on mine on any part of the screen that is white or gray at any brightness. It is driving me nuts. I want to get a replacement, but since I bought it on launch day, I am waiting for a bit and hopefully later batches will have fixed issues like these.
[G3 General] objektive_1:
Its software oversharpening. There is another thread.
[G3 General] GoogleAndroid:
No, it's a separate issue. I can see horizontal and vertical lines and I can see a red and blue texture. It's the digitizer.
[G3 General] helikido:
Its very visible on light green colors too. I wonder how HW: 2.0 revisions will be. Hopefully good.
[G3 General] asuprice:
I can't believe this isn't a bigger deal. For a quad HD display to have such a visible flaw is horrible. I've been to a few AT&T stores and every demo unit had this flaw.
[G3 General] ladelfm:
That's why I returned it and got the m8 instead. It completely negates the whole point of a quad hd display, clarity. What's the point of a super sharp display if you have to look through a layer of distortion first to get to it. Unbelievable mistake by LG.
[G3 General] garywojdan81:
This issue, and some of the others, lens credence to the suspicion that LG rushed this one to market.
[G3 General] deadkenny64:
They must have HW 2.0 out concurrently because my D851 is visibly perfect. I looked today under noon day sunlight and still could not make out any visible lines.
[G3 General] helikido:
Can you check what HW version yours is on the box?

Sent from LG Gangster 3
[G3 General] deadkenny64:
Looks like it's HW 1.0 made 6/2014. It can't affect all of them or there would be a lot more posts about it. I hope you get it sorted out because the sound with good IEMs is better than any device I have ever listened to. I find myself going back to listen to well known songs and they sound amazing.
[G3 General] helikido:
No it is all the LG G3 models from tmobile. All the display units I ever have had, had that very same issue.

But some people notice It, others dont. Sprint models have it worse.

Sent from LG Gangster 3
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Quite a few phones have this issue, it may be due to the alignment of the digitizer and the LCD matrix.
[G3 General] helikido:
It doesnt have to do with the alignment. The digitizer might be so thick or the materials used to make it are not transparent enough.
[G3 General] fabiosantossillva:
I have the same model (D851) and my display is flawless. I'm very picky person and use to pay attention even to small details. I've set my screen brightness to maximum , put it under sunlight, and setting a white background. No problem here at all. I've checked my Display manufacturer and I've found out it's LG. Maybe those flaws are occurring on third-party displays.
[G3 General] helikido:
My display is an LG display too. Dont get me wrong, but everything is perfect about it except the digitizer which is barely visible. But its there. I think you may be a rare, very rare case. Hit up your tmobile store and see if the demo units have it?
[G3 General] deadkenny64:
Since I don't have good luck at the casinos or with the lottery, I am glad that I was able to get a very rare perfect screen like fabiosantossillva. You could say that it is there and I just don't notice it, but that is unlikely as I have better than 20/20 vision at 6-12" distance and am very picky about displays. I sure hope that LG takes notice of the issue for future phones.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Actually it can be the cause on some devices in the past the alignment of the digitizer grid interfered with the LCD matrix making it visible as lines.
[G3 General] fabiosantossillva:
As I've told before, I consider myself a very picky person and for minimum reasons, I would return a cellphone, like I did before. I owned a galaxy S5, a HTC one M8 and for some aspects which I didn't like , I ended up return them. I'm really glad for having bought the G3 and its screen is really incredible. My unit is flawless[emoji1]
[G3 General] helikido:
So do you guys think I should hit up tmobile and return the unit for on that does not have those visible digitizer textures? I dont want to look like an idiot opening a bunch of them up and then all of them having the same issue.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I've gone through 4, two ATT and two TMO G3's, and every one had it. The G2 had it much worse. Its just the digitizer showing through.

The G2 you could see it on dark backgrounds or when the screen is off under bright light.
[G3 General] helikido:
But the veryr are cases that people are saying that they dont have it is very tempting. Im sorry but i really think at this rate that they just cant see it or dont know what to look for. But still, maybe they do know what they are going to look for and they dont really have it. Makes me wanna try my luck.
[G3 General] pipops:
I can see like tiny patterns inside the digitizer, but it's not annoying :fingers-crossed:

well 3 dead pixels is:silly: already make the appointment with LG and tomorrow all will be better.
[G3 General] helikido:
Thats what we are talking about lol... How the heck can you even spot a dead pixel lol?
[G3 General] deadkenny64:
Yes, I know what to look for and there is no visible digitizer on my phone. I would wait a bit for stock to get refreshed and try again. I have never had a better phone visually and sound wise. The new YouTube app at 1440 is amazing and unparalleled in any other phone.
[G3 General] helikido:
Do you think by now stock is good? The rep told me that usually they run out of stock every week or two. Maybe more time has passed? Tomorrow is my last day for it to be exchanged in the Tmobile store.
[G3 General] Redline:
Weird to see people having issues with their screens. I've got my G3 D855 and I've had it for a while now and I've not had any problems with it, running the latest Firmware too... Guess it could be put down to faulty screen manufacturing, it is the first Quad-HD screen on a phone so I wouldn't expect it to run flawlessly.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
First Quad HD in the US. I think the Oppo Find 7 had a QHD display before this one.
[G3 General] Redline:
Ah, true that is.
[G3 General] helikido:
The screen has no flaws. It's just the digitizer that is visible on 80% of all the models. And each a different degree.
[G3 General] pipops:
Spotting a dead pixel is actually very easy, just use a drop of water on the screen surface, use a small stick to move it around.

it's a budget microscope:victory: and oh i already received a screen replacement btw. the tiny square patterns is more visible than before but still not annoying.

additional information, the screen before is something, front camera looks not center aligned and i thought this is normal, but after replacement it's centered!:cyclops:
[G3 General] helikido:
Lol so the replacement still has the visible LCD texture? Makes me feel bad that I'm going to T-Mobile today and have them open a phone to see if it also has the visible textures.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I thought my ocd was bad but going through that just to see if there are dead pixels?
[G3 General] pipops:
:o iyep, it's like playing where's Waldo
[G3 General] helikido:
I think you are crazy. But then again I'm OCD about the digitizer and micro backlight bleeds on the edge of the screen.
[G3 General] helikido:
I might just end up killing LG. Today I exchanged my phone 2 times in a row. The one I ended up with was a tad worse than the one I had originally. It has a yellow tint and the digitizer is a little more visible...I don't wanna even talk about the 2nd one. Embarrising.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
That's just like my luck. Every time I exchange a phone I get one that's worse and end up wishing I had kept the other one.
[G3 General] helikido:
Yeah well shizz. Well at least the one I have seems a bit brighter with warmer whites than blue whites. God it took 3 phones to get it almost right if it was not for a slightly more perceptible digitizer.

I wanna point out that both models manufactured in 07/14 have a warmer display.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
So the one you have is all good now?
[G3 General] helikido:
Well.....If you consider higher brightness and a more visible digitizer, sure. But I dare say this, all T-Mobile LG 3 phones have this digitizer issue. Every LG G3 phone has it. I don't care what anyone says. It took five people at the retail store to even spot them....but they exist none the less.
[G3 General] pipops:
Maybe those pattern related to why only LG have knock knock feature? some secret wiring around those matrix:confused:

so i guess knock on/off + QHD = that thingy
[G3 General] superandroid2011:
I guess Knock on is LG only because of patents.

LG has released Knock on for older devices which don't have that annoying visible digitizer.
[G3 General] constantG:
Pic please

Can I just ask, why have none of you that have seen this not posted a pic of it. I have the D855 G3 and have not got a clue what you are all talking about. The only issue I have with this screen is the backlight bleeding through on the sides but you get that with most screens these days.

Post some pics so that people know what you're seeing. Please!!!! :)
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Because it is very hard to see on a photo I guess
[G3 General] helikido:
Any phone has the ability have knock on. It's a software feature.

The cameras cannot perceive it. Only your eyes can.

Exactly.

Now, I noticed that my warmer display is brighter than the cooler one I had. I also noticed that black text is much darker and it is more saturated with stronger colors (not my taste).

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

There is one thing I noticed. The phone I have runs a tad bit cooler than the one I used to have. Just a tiny bit. Not sure if placebo
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I think some of it may be placebo, in my experience, but I do think the warmer display G3's ran cooler.
[G3 General] helikido:
No it's placebo. It actually runs at the same temperature as all other G3 phones.

Man....if it where not for that digitizer that's visible on all LG G3's. It would have a perfect screen.

Guys, I also checked the manufacturer of the display and it's LGD just like the one I had. You guys think LG or T-mobile have different calibration settings for newer manufactured ones. Because both then ones that where manufactured on 07/14 had a warmer display than the one I had and the display models.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I think it's just random. You should try tweaking the colors I. trickster mod. Someone was able to make a yellow screen bluer. I don't remember what his setting were.
[G3 General] helikido:
But I like it natural you know?

You do know that having a yellow tone screen vs blue is better right? Its just that we all are twisted into believing blue is nicer and better. Its not. In fact it's much farther than the 6500k range it needs to be in.

That's why my display seems more saturated and brighter than the one I had, but the colors don't look settled with the tone I like. Idk it's confusing. But when watching shows I see a tad more detail.
[G3 General] Iloudsan:
My question is why the digitizer is visible in Samsung and Apple devices I never had saw any digitizer visible
[G3 General] TheAndroidGeek:
It's there and supposed to be. It was on the LG G2 as well though not nearly as dense a line pattern.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
Yea I k ow but I still prefer cooler colored screens.
[G3 General] helikido:
I'm running 240 for red and green and blue 255. It looks very good. The good thing about this display is that it does not dim out the details like the one I had.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
The texture on mine is fading, I really have to strain my eyes to see it now it seems to be something that might disappear over time.
[G3 General] helikido:
One other theory I have is that maybe the LCD display needs time to settle in. I mean I have had the LGD on my last one and this one is LGD too
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Some do. Yellowing can fade, or get worse, and brightness can change to.

I wasnt impressed by my G3 screen at all, but i swear its getting better. Its actually brighter in strong light than my friends HTC One M7, I wouldn't have thought that on day one.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Haha, texture is fading and screen is getting brighter.

It seems LG has invented a self healing display ☺
[G3 General] Batfink33:
The placebo force is strong!
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Yeah, and the next one is telling us, that the capacity of his battery has grown from 3000mAh to 3200mAh..?
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Actually LCDs do mature over time, glues cure, plastics gas out, thermal expansion settles clearances out. This is why you shouldn't calibrate an LCD TV until after at least 200 hours of usage, longer for plasma and OLED. I guess some of you arent aware of that.

Im guessing you also arent aware that LEDs (as used for the back light) change colour and brightness over time to. Initially in the first few hours getting brighter, then slowly fading over months and years. These technologies arent static, and they contain organic compounds that can bleach out or darken with exposure to heat and light.
[G3 General] oadam11:
Yea I felt my screen looked very yellow when I first bought it. Now it seems to have gotten a bit whiter. Or I just got used to the very warm display. Lol
