No worries, I thought I'd better let you know.
No really, I used to get the same sort of thing on my M7 but it was only one large purple dot and disappeared after a few months
Is it just three x 1 pixels or are the larger than that?

Sounds like stuck pixels you could try a few of these techniques
From the research I did on this, the best way was to Vibrate the whole device very fast but with a small amount of movement. (Kind of like how a hair trimmer vibrates , small amount but very fast)
Also when we have RAW ability they will be even less noticeable .
Duno if this info will help . but I would try for an exchange if you are unable to fix/live with these blue pixels.

Power button scratched easily

After looking at the power button under light I can see a ton of very small scratches, I have only had the phone for two days so it seems a bit crazy. Anyone else see similar scratches on the powerbutton/IR?

G2 screen size not really 5.2"

i receive the white version of the phone, i'm annoyed of this black borders around the screen. I feel cheated by LG since they promoted the screen without this black borders.
I agree it was unexpected but I definitely don't feel cheated. Surprised no-one has mentioned it

cheated because the phone was promoted without it. false advertisement.
I hope we never have true edge to edge as I would be worried I would catch something just by holding the fone lol. There comes a point where looks/design can get in the way of practicality.
IMHO I think LG have got it spot

I agree. If these bezels were any smaller then you would be making all kinds of screen touches that you didn't mean to and it would be super cumbersome to handle.
And if the on screen buttons are your concern about eating up screen real estate, just root and use that app that hides them (directed towards the OP).

First time with LG phone? all phone have it but not as huge as LG phone

Op have you measured the usable area? Does it indeed not measure 5.2"? If you haven't please don't post like you have.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 4
I see what the OP is saying. The marketing photo doesn't have the black edge. If I liked the white phone, I would probably be initially annoyed too. You could switch to a solid black background and then you wouldn't notice it at all!
I wanted the white one and now happy I have black....lol. White looks good though.
What carrier is that phone?
That's pretty funny. I wanted a white one, now i'm glad I had to get the black one because of Verizon.
*yawn* first world problems.

If you don't have any serious bleed issues with the top screen and it doesn't drive you crazy I'd maybe keep it. There are some pretty jacked up screens out there. I exchanged my first one and I'm typically not petty about that kind of stuff. We opened 5 devices and all of them had some sort of light bleed. Some worse than others. I took the one I felt was least noticeable.
It's only noticeable on white background. But it's super annoying now that I know it's there.

I got the exactly same stuck pixel, mine is from Verizon. Have the phone for three days, and it seems the stuck pixel appeared today. I don't know if Verizon will let me exchange it or I have to pay $35 restocking fee. Other than that, I am very happy with the phone so far!!!
For an obvious manufacturer defect you will have no issues swapping it. And it won't effect you getting your stuff from LG. I swapped mine day 4 and they approved my submission yesterday for the SD and battery
Maybe I'm unreasonable, but a phone that costs as much as the V10 does should not have any defects this noticeable.

Not necessarily. When I bought my G4, it had a piece of dust stuck under the glass, between the LCD panel and the glass and it would glow on brighter images. You could see it with the phone completely powered off and the battery removed in sunlight or under a bright light. T-Mobile swapped it out once they saw it in the store.
On a side note, is the light bleed on the V10's bad? Mine has a little bit at the top but I noticed it's only when the main screen is off and the second screen is on - there seems to be a second, white backlight just for the second screen that turns on when the main screen is off, and that bleeds into the second screen.

Image burn?

Hi I've been working on a custom stock rom. While trying to find a working deodex method. I flashed the rom got stuck at boot, and decently hot outside of the case. When I went to boot up twrp. The T-Mo logo was pretty visible only on grey-ish screens. Anyway I put it over a fan for a few seconds. Fan was too far away didn't feel like getting up. Ran some image burn videos off youtube. Then left the screen off for idk maybe an hour, and it's gone. The key board was actually starting to fade it as well before it went away. Just wanted to see if anyone has had this problem, and maybe give someone a heads up.

To update my image burn went away as far as I can tell. Before it did though my keyboard was showing up. Haven't booted back into twrp in a while though. Gonna try to rebuild the rom again tonight. So I'll see if it's still there.
