Okay strait to the point! I've got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.3 bought it 4 months ago.
I accidently dropped my phone and cracked my screen on the bottom right corner. The crack went from bottom and a diagonal line up til the right side. I took a picture below.

This happened about 2 months ago. No problem since. I dropped the phone a few times afterward but it didnt seem to affect it lucky me.

Yesterday i tried watch some series over my WIFI and the phone got really hot around the camera area. The phone wasn't acting well either and then battery dropped from 75% til about 10% in 10 minutes without any video still showing up. (Never had that problem before). I stopped using it and instead put it on recharge for the next day. And today on the morning it was still okay. Went to school and back with the mobile still working. Put it on my table and checked my PC.
About 2 hours later while cheking up on my galaxy i discovered this.

I think that the LCD finally busted but i need to be sure if it has something to do with the previous crack and also if you could provide any info about what to do with it? Does my warrenty cover this? Or do i need extra insuranse?

*EDIT* From time problem started until now. The whole screen has gotten black but for the top right corner still dark blue. Would appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

*EDIT 2* I've discovered that the screen could take damage from direct sunlight. The device was in fact layed with screen in direct contact with sunlight at approximately around 15-25 degrees Celcius in about 2 hours. Could this have caused the problem?
 
I don't own that phone, but I'd say you got REALLY lucky there wasn't a problem until now. I mean seriously, a fatal drop, a couple more drops and 2 hours baking in the sun? It's completely normal for your phone to be in that condition after such treating. Be careful with your next phone, peace.
 
Lol yeah I really don't treat the things I own in this way. I'm pretty carefull especially with things that could easily break, like my phone. But I have to say this mistreating was a bit extreme. My other phones that i've owned hasn't broken in anyway like this, that was what scared me. New technology should be more resistant but its the other way around :P
 
The same thing just happened to my phone yesterday! I have an almost identical crack at the bottom, but that happened a long time ago. It started yesterday with just a blue color in the upper right corner, and since then it has spread out on the whole screen. Now I can only read a tiny little slot about 1 squarecm! What did you do with your phone? Did you get it on your warranty? I suspect it might be a broken LCD screen or something..
 
Hello Guys,

Any update on this issue?. Please let me know what was the end of your story. It just happened the same to me and I would like to know if it is worth to spend money buying a LCD screen and try to change it.

So, did you fix your phones?
