Help Dust under screen

I have a minimum amount of dust, but it is not bothering me (for now).
I'm buying a cese for mine and I hope this will give some additonal protection.

Oh wow. I didn't know that was possible. Kinda scary. It's not happening to me now, but is there a way to prevent it from happening?

well I see it only in one corner under strong sunshine, so its not bothering me.

preventing... a case could help. But I dont belive there will get more dust under it.

for the moment i've having a silicon case for my p500 so there are not dust trails

you should contact LG Customer support
they'll open your phone and blow dust out
if dust cause touchscreen malfunction they'll change new one for you..... optimus

I am facing same problem. It happened to my old Sony ericsson too, but it had a glass over real screen so I was able to remove the dust. But what about Optimus? Right now only 3-4 dust particles are there. Who knows how they get in.

Hey guys. I am facing this annoying dust issue too. I am currently on my second optimus one and I got my first only a week and a half ago. Both phones have had this issue. My replacement got dust after one day and i noticed it after only a few days with #1!!! I am thinking of filing a warranty claim with LG but am guessing that won't go too far and even if I get a new phone it will likely just happen again. This is unnacceptable and LG needs to recognise it BTW my phone is kept in a case but the problem continues

it's freaking dust people...wth

i keep my phone in a silicon case when I'm indoors and outside i use a case that covers my entire phone, including the display, to prevent pocket scratch on the display and case .
since December i have no dust.. i don't know whats wrong with your phone, maybe lose screws..

I had to take it back to the retailer at the start of January as there was a lot of dust gathering underneath the bottom of the screen.


Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have seen this problem. I used to put the phone in my pocket. I had the same problem with my old flip phone. When I saw dust in my p500, I bought a 12$ phone holder that clips onto the belt from Walmart. No new dust since then.

Update: LG seems have authorized a warranty repair on my phone (meaning they sent me an email telling me to mail it out) so I will bring it back to Telus and send it out. Hopefully my phone will come back fixed

no dust as of it. Ive had mine for about 3 days now but i got a gel cover as soon as i got it.

So I brought the phone back to the Telus store and yay they just gave me a new one so fingers crossed that it stays problem free

my phone too has dust but too low what should i do????????????????

I just noticed the same thing when it was asleep and the screen was dark. I only noticed it outside but it looks crappy. It looks like white dots under the glass. I've had it less then a month so this is a little ridiculous. I am pretty careful with is so this is a bit of a shock. I have two ipod touch units and one is over 3 years old and not a speck of dust and it has been everywhere with me.
After a year I would imagine it would be worse and has to affect the touch screen.
This is pretty bad quality control by LG and you shouldn't need a case to guard against this. Protecting the actual screen surface I understand but how does dust get underneath it so easy?
I hope someone can post a way to fix this, in the meantime I am going to try a few things and post a solution if I can find it.

True...

I tried to email LG but when I try to use their site to send to support it takes me to a 'unreachable page' screen. So I can't really send the email. I also posted a poor review of the phone on their site (LG Canada). It has not been posted to the site yet and I doubt it will as it was not a very glowing review.

The only thing I can say is everyone who reads this and has the same is issue is to post their recommendation not to buy. Then maybe LG will get the message.

I can't blame the providers as they have no control over the quality however they should pressure LG to fix this issue or provide a suitable upgrade for users who have this issue.

I understand that this issue isn't exclusive to LG a search of some other phones come up with similar issues. Keep in mind it isn't as rampant as the LG One. I mean I am seeing posts from Italy, India, the Phillipenes (sp?)and more. It seems to be worldwide with LG.
I've read how some user are opening their units to clean themselves!?! Now that is a joke! Unless your phone is a few years old and you absolutely can't buy a new one there is no justification for us to fix our own defective phones.

I am getting Telus to send me a new unit but I am so sure that it will suffer the same fate and who knows if it will have a new issue.

The best case scenario would be for Telus to acknowledge the issue and assure me that LG is fixing the issue and they will replace the defective units with a new one that has the problem fixed. There is no way I am going on a 3 year plan on an android phone....I'd rather go 3 years on an iphone if I had too. However I am not holding my breath.

Actually i am hoping they feel so bad that they upgrade me to a Desire or Galaxy for free or deeply discounted and at least I will have a high end phone.

In the end what did I expect? My first LG clamshell's screen went blank, my LG dare had to be swapped 3 times due to re-booting issues, now this. That does it with LG phones for me. Quality is really sub-par with them. I knew that 200 bucks was too good of a deal for a smartphone. Going cheap sometimes gets you what you pay for I suppose!

In the meantime post to as many forums and sites about this and keep returning your LG Ones to you provider before the 30 day return. If enough of us do this they may....'may' help.

Is there anyone around who has had her/his Optimus One for a long time now and this problem hasn't surfaced at all? What care was taken in regards to screen cover, body cover and so on?

Man, what a drag, I wonder if this is a problem with just a batch or in general terms with all the units sold so far :|

Hi to all,

I have mine since the march, 3rd and so far no dust under the screen. My cell phone is in a "ROOTS" leather case attach to my belt and the "original" screen protector coming with the phone on the screen...

Good to hear that blord.
By the way, what is your model P500(x)?
