Hey guys,

I have a problem with my G3. I was so happy when I got it but now it drove me nuts. The display which is supposed to be the selling spot of this phone is not so glorious after all. Although not all users are affected by this I am one of those who are. I noticed a yellow band on the top left side of my screen. As I read online it is glue residue that has protruded through the display. Many people suggest to put it under a UV light but I am not sure if I should do this (the UV light is supposed to dry the glue). I have to mention that I bought the G3 because I had the exact same problem with the G2 in the same place. It looks so ugly and drives me crazy. So I wanted to ask for help from someone over here at XDA who has had the same or similar issue with the G3 or any other phone and is willing to offer me help and guide me through fixing this annoying issue.

Thanks!
I attached photos bellow taken by my other G3 which by the way does not have that problem!

Hello.
I have exactly same issue with my LG G3. :crying: Same kind of yellow spot at exactly same area as it is in your phone. It really is very annoying. Can anyone say if it's possible to fix it some way?
I can't believe that it is caused by my own fault. I read also somewhere that it is some glue which is visible for some reason.

I don't know what to do carrier warranty will not cover this and will say that it is my fault. The only thing we can do I think is either ask LG or make a group complaint since I am sure that there are many more experiencing this problem. I also have it on the G2 and it is even worse it is becoming black blueish. They make excellent panels but their glue sucks. Also drying the phones under UV lights is very expensive that is why they let them air dry which does not solidify the glue and problems like this appear.

I wouldn't put it in the fridge. It is wet and it might damage the internals but since it is -10 here when I am out it is almost gone but it comes back in the same intensity when I enter an enclosed area.
