Hi, although my unit is not exactly a G5 (it's a G5 SE H845) I would like to know whether or not the following characteristics are normal/common:
1.

The lowest pa_therm0 temperature I saw in CPU-Z at idle (no apps opened) was 74*C. In the screenshot, there were about 5 apps (LINE, Whatsapp, Instagram, gmail, browser) opened and running in the background so the pa_therm0 temperature raised that high.
2. There is an uneven gap between the chin (the battery module) and the main body on my G5 SE with the one near the chin lock being the larger one that I can even see light coming through it. The other side is actually pretty tight that I can barely see light getting through it.
Please confirm whether or not those characteristics are normal.
Thanks in advance
I also have the G5 SE H840, the one that its being sold in latín America, but i dont have any of those issues you are mentioning, even the GPS its working as It should, i traveled like 1000km without movil data causr i had no network, but GPS worked very well, maybe your unit its an unlucky one , go to your móviles provider and ask for a change or get a refund

I can't say if this is normal or not, but my G5 also has this characteristic. The left side of the battery module sits slightly lower than the main component, making a noticeable bump. I've been wondering myself for quite some time if it was worth exchanging over.
Sorry guys I forgot to mention pa_therm0 which is a temperature parameter in CPU-Z application so I edited my first post.
Thank you anyway for confirming you earned my Thanks!

Please refer to the picture below. Do you spot any abnormalities with my SAMOLED+ display? The yellow tint is gone after flashing to 2.3.5, but the area in the lower left is still showing a lighter tone--like a right triangle; so does a small area on the upper left. Also, the brightness (as I've noticed in other S2's) is not evenly distributed across the screen. These problems are hardly visible in normal use, but it becomes visible in grey backgrounds, and notifications area, and lowest brightness in web browser. Please let me know, thanks.

so, what do you all think? Please let me know thank you.
Mine looks exactly like that: triangle in bottom left, splotch in top right, and whole left seems a little dimmer than the rest. I haven't installed any updates & bought mine in South Africa; where did you get yours? I was honestly under the impression that AMOLED was the technology to go for, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
At first I was going to ignore the lighting defects and the pink tint in the center of camera images as there aren't that severe, but now I've found my phone's earpiece probably has a problem too. It makes a crackly noise during calls that sounds like something's loose in the speaker, so I reckon it's time to send this one back...
Update: I got mine replaced today due to the speaker problem, and the new one has neither the triangle nor the splotch. It is still darker down the left side of the screen though, maybe even a bit more so than on the old one...
I had exactly the same issues (well, not exactly as mine were worse). I had to replace it twice. Now I have one without this issues, no yellowish border and little to no banding.
The guys at the service told me that if there is any problem now, I can get a new phone right away, but considering how many people have display problems, I would rather repair this one. It's display is suspiciously perfect...

Hi Dear X8&X10 Users!
First of all. I dont want to change the world, just want to share my experice what i gained during my studies and share these pictures what are not common, (because we use non-common cameras)
I have a chance to make TIC pic about our phone, while charging, and tomarrow i have a new chance to make more pic.
So, me and one of my frined, just decided to make some pic, and explanation.
The x8 and x10 is about 20-30°C in normal condition. But. When you start to charge your phone its starts to heating(you can experience it),from outside to inside as the picture shows it.Its about 40-50°C while charging but it's just a relative degree and need more metering to get the correct value.
Tomorrow i have a new chance to make other pics about our phone. I planned to make some pic about processor, but i think we wont see anything difference from it's enviroment because the armv6 chipset is too small to sense it, and need more sensitive devices to make a good picture what can be evaluated.

About the pics.
You can see the x8 and x10 when they were started to charge to full charged. The interesting thing is, when you can see the starting of the charge. The battery is starting to heating from outside to inside. My opinion is, that the cells of the battery starts the electricity gaining from the outside. While charging the degree is starting to increase and while its full charged its started to cooling,at 100% it goes back to normal temperature.
While started to charge:
The processe:
THe cooled ones after charging (plugged in but 100%):
About the screen.
Its just a normal surface, which behave like everything what we touch. You leave thermal points on it, and nothing more. We checked the temperature of the screen while we set the brightness higher and higher....and.........nothing. Nor temperature increasing.
I hope you enjoy this review, i'm gona continue it tomorrow with CPU test, and standerd temperature after OC.
(I'm a safety engineer, who want to know a lot about the phones safety, and the connection between battery and CPU overheatings)

Hi, a friend dropped a glass of beer on his galaxy i9100. Phone looks dead but when he give it to me i've tried another battery and the phone turns on with apparently no problem. So he bought another new original battery, put on and charge the phone. But, temperatures reach critical level and the phone stopped the charge. The temperature raise even without charge with battery in and phone on. So i disassembled and scan for damaged components or some trace of "beer" but the phone looks clear. I then sprayed with a product similar to wd40 (we call it crc in Italy, removes dirt and clear electric contacts) and wait for dry. But same problem. I turned on the phone partially disassembled and the heat is concentrated in the flex hook of the frontal buttons but probably the heat comes from the chip near that.
unfortunately there is no code on that chip so i hope you can understand wich i'm talking about. The only thing is that i don't really know if the heat is from that chip or the flex hook, i don't know how to test it. Looking at it there is no sign of damage. Any advice?
Hope you can understand the problem and apogologize for bad english
ps: with the crc the temperature focused on that chip, before that all the charging flex was over heating
Just post a picture.
Are you talking about the usb/mic board.

this is the place where heat reach is max
no ideas? i cleaned the phone completely and nothing changed
All I can say is you look through previous posts about motherboards and see if anyone has an old board you could get.
I dont know how easy it would be to change that component your after.
I dunno about beer but mine (GT-I9100P) had a couple of vodka baths and it still works impeccably. (and when I say baths, I say full glass spilled on it)
Hello, I just got my S9+ (less than a week ago) and I discovered after 4 days of use, a very strange mark on the screen that has no depth.

It's very noticeable when I try to clean the phone with a bit of water. The droplets pattern changes:
I haven't exposed the phone to any miss-use and I'm baffled by this, is hard to see when the screen is on but it's forever in my mind now.
Could this be the oleophobic coating or am I looking at something else?
Do you see the line when the display is turned on? Try to dial *#0*# and test the display. It seems like the oleophobic coating, because of the water, but I never seen something like that before.

It's very hard to notice when the screen is on in most conditions. I'm returning this phone and hopefully it will pass Amazon quality checks, wish me luck.
In all 10 years of having smartphones, I never had a phone with this kind of flaw.
Hello I am having the same reaction on my phone. Did you find out what it was?
Same issue here
Only visible with screen off in direct sunlight or water is on the phone
I returned the device with an attached letter to it where it stated what was the problem.
I got the return, no questions asked. I would recommend reaching Samsung or your retailer to get this fixed or another device. If asked, just explain that the scratch has no depth, so it couldn't have been your keys or something in your pocket, also stress your phone is new.
Similar issues were reported for the Galaxy note 8 and I found a YouTube video with an S9 and a similar problem.
If you don't return the device, I would expect the problem to get worse.
Hello guys. I bought my Xperia X on May 2017. 1 year and 4 months passed away. It started to burn-in. So I just want to ask:
Anyone gets the same issue? or Im the one?
How can I fix this?
Here is a burn-in (photo isnt mine but same issue)

its ok dude my xperia x dual screen like u when the temperature rises dont worry
I fixed this issue I think but how long its goin I dont know. Here a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfNJi_LoAK4 , I put this video on my sd card and run the video for 4-5 minutes. And ghosts are gone.
Unfortunately, that seems a common issue with Xperia X. I bought mine in June 2017, the display didn't show any image retention, not even when hot. In May 2018 I noticed it started to show this issue when the phone was hot, so I sent it to warranty. They replaced the whole mid frame + screen (it seems they treat this as a single part) then sent the phone back to me. After the service, I got no image retention issues, not even when hot. Fast forward to today and I'm now experiencing this temporary image retention again when the phone is hot (but this time it's way less pronounced than before).
My warranty already expired, so I won't bother replacing the screen again since now I would need to pay for the repair and after experiencing exactly the same issue in two different displays I think it's safe to assume the problem would appear again sooner or later if I replaced the screen once more. Fortunately the issue isn't permanent and at least on my case the image retention is very faintly (you need to put brightness at maximum and display a solid gray image to really notice it), and you just need to let the phone cool down for some minutes to make the image retention go away...
Mine does it quite bad now, but it's old and tired I've had my x since release it is doing well for how it gets used.
I have same problem too.i recommend you to set white balance at another rate.
I add nightly mode to my phone and it fix.so i don't need any tools.
