I wanted to give that app a try and see if it causes any problems on my side. IT DOES!

I can't even run the app - toast comes up saying "Illegal access detected. The game cannot start". Googled that a bit and this came up.

If the game has issues running on a rooted ROM (which is the first time this has ever happened to me in 3+ years of Android), the game should be avoided.

Very innocuous fall from knee height and screen is like all screwed up . what should be done
[G2 General] 1ackass:
If you have warranty and don't have much visual physical damage, return it and hope for the best :P(ofc unroot it too)
[G2 General] Formhault:
As the guy above me said... if you have warranty and the physical damage is minimal, return to stock and try getting it fixed under warranty.

When was your phone manufactured, though?
[G2 General] wulsic:
I guess something got loose inside the phone. The G2 is pretty fragile even from that height.
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
i bought it in oct , dont know exact manufacture date but the physical damage is nothing much hardly visible only around one edge that too is little.

its already stock , didnt root it
[G2 General] Formhault:
So... it's an unit from the first or second batch... Hopefully LG got their sh*t together and refined the manufacturing process with the newer revisions :).

LG f***-up. Go hammer down their service centre.
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
is it a very common problem ?

its a great phone though :/

should i look to replace and sell because i dont want to be screwed after warranty period . Phone is bound to fall despite how much care one keeps
[G2 General] khaytsus:
WHAT? He dropped the damn phone, how is that LG's fault??
[G2 General] Formhault:
I too dropped my phone from about 1 meter high. Landed face down on parchment (indoors). Nothing happened - but the phone bounced off a bit and got a (pretty ugly) scuff on one bezel. Hilarious :)

I had around 10 Android phones so far. Most of them were 2nd hand and in pretty bad shape. 0 problems :). The Note 1 I had... I dropped that so many times (was new to big phones) and nothing happened. Same for the S4 (albeit it had a case - not extremely protective though).

When you drop a $800 phone from 50 centimeters high and stuff like that happens in this century (which obviously points to low-quality connectors, I mean come on, what the hell)... yeah, I'd say it's LG's fault. Could be an isolated case... I mean I know someone who dropped an iPhone 4 in the kitchen - landed on tile, not before boucing off 2 table corners (which are pretty hard). NOTHING FREAKING HAPPENED TO IT. Dropped an iPhone 5S (from an even more innocuous height) a few weeks later... boom... it's thrashed.
[G2 General] musashihatred:
XD im using root cloak :D developer says it's to avoid piracy or cheating etc (dev of the game)

Anyways, i think there is really something on stock roms that does that -,-

I know this feeling :D most of mines were also greyed or handed downed but mostly they are weeks old. Dropped, nothing happened. Got my aunt's iphone4s dropped, BOOM. All SMS are delayed. Sending or receiving. Supreme quality indeed.
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
Cheers guys ! Will get my screen front panel replaced free of cost . Will probably get my phone tomorrow.

I dropped my phone couple of times earlier too even from pocket height but luckily nothing happened and no scratches at all. phones always drops no matter how much care you take of it.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Use a case next time. Not only it helps with drops, but also makes your phone feel better in the hand. I mean I can't hold my phone naked for more than a day - I got the black variant and, just as the white one, starts to feel like goo in the hand after some time. Just like the S4... "hyperglazed" back cover... They should've gone with pure polycarbonate...
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
Ya i have a case but it kills the feel. But now will use it i guess.
[G2 General] Formhault:
The only phones which felt good in the hand without a case were : Galaxy Note 1 and Galaxy Nexus. The phones which felt awesome without a case were : HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, HTC EVO 3D.

I miss those times :(. Looks like OEMs just don't think about build quality anymore. I mean... it's not like Samsung and LG cared about that anyway...
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
Usability and practical should be given more importance.

I like moto x size and feel even though its not metal.

Metal is pretty but scratch prone and slippery.

LG and Samsung just blindly follow apple key feature.

LG dont know where to draw line in display resolution.
[G2 General] Formhault:
I am thinking of retiring from all this must-have-the-latest-and-greatest-since-it-must-be-the-best thing. I mean in the past year all I had were flagship devices : Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, LG G2, and they all had weak spots which... a $600+ phone should NOT.

I am seriously thinking of selling this G2 and getting a Moto G. Actually, I'm trying to do that right now. You don't see burn-ins, color inconsistencies and faulty displays (or connectors?) on a $200 phone, but you do on a $600+ phone? C'mon...
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
I love my g2, what problems are really troubling you?

Yes I agree if i have to buy flagship it should be perfect in all the ways i want it to be.
[G2 General] Formhault:
I love it, too... but some times I just wish I never sold my Galaxy S4. I should have learned to cope with the screen inconsistencies and less-than-stellar battery life, I guess.

On this G2... the vibration motor was off from the first day - vibrates very loud when in portrait (mostly)... turning its strenght down to like 30% in Settings - Sound dampens it a bit.

And the screen develops some sort of a LCD-leak around the edges when... God knows when... I thought it's when it's charging or heating only, but I got it out of my pocket earlier (like, cold) and there it was. Not really an issue though, but still, not something you'd expect on a $600+ phone.

Plus... The loudspeaker. Nuff said.

Plus the risk of getting the screen flicker / black lines disease - which has not reached me so far. But seriously, what other phone has this sort of issue? Not even the cheap Chinese copies, for f***s sake...
[G2 General] hbksabhi:
Yes this display problem tensed me a little. If it develops trouble out of warranty i would be furious.

I wanted the iphone but here there no repair stores if i were to buy one and say 2 years down the line i want to change my battery then i would have to pay full replacement fees that is 200 dollar.

There are cons everywhere
[G2 General] Formhault:
Here's hoping the Project Ara is gonna make the idea of a perfect phone more feasible.
[G2 General] reaper61616:
Hi!

For couple days I'm suffering (my phone) this issue.

I was tryed enable ART and after restart black line was on my screen.

Enabling ART will make phone hot due to precompiling apps.

Just return to stock and clear RCT by flashing 10e and then update via OTA to 20d.

Is it possible that LG will repair my phone or will tell me "go home f**k yourself"?
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
We can't speak for LG.

The best you can do is flash a TOT (and OTA later if there is one) and send it in.

Compass.
[G2 General] zihh:
How old is your lg g2?
[G2 General] reaper61616:
I do this. Flash 10a KDZ and then OTA to 20B and then OTA to 20D. RCT shows Not Rooted. ;)

September 2013, why do you asking?
[G2 General] zihh:
Just want to know if this happened on older batch(2013) phone or newer.
[G2 General] reaper61616:
No problem! :)
[G2 General] cyanide1973:
I had flashed PA the other day using TWRP and everything was fine until i used texdroider to change the DPI to 380 and thats when i got the white bar in the center on boot up followed by the permanent black lines on the right side.
[G2 General] Formhault:
So...?! When was your phone manufactured?!
[G2 General] Formhault:
Notice the horizontal lines extending beyond the text. They scroll alongside with the text...

Notice the burned-in soft buttons.

Both are most visible on gray (like in Tapatalk) and with brightness cranked up to maximum.

:(
[G2 General] zihh:
I notice the burn in soft button on my too last time( also when in grey) when doing LCD test using hidden menu, it can be fix by changing front touch button to white or white gradation color for couple of days or week. :)

U using black color soft key right?
[G2 General] Formhault:
Yeah... Using black...

Wouldn't changing it to white make the BACKGROUND burned-in? Lmfao...
[G2 General] zihh:
I don't think it is a burn in because this is not super amoled screen. Btw, I change mine from black to white and now I don't have the problem. U can try that out. :)
[G2 General] Formhault:
Will try that out. And what about the first screenshot? The one in which lines can be seen extending out the text... :eek:
[G2 General] danilow_16:
hi guys, I have black lines too, D802, it started with carbon a m+- a month ago, I'm not saying it's carbon itself, but I changed to paranoidandroid and other stock based roms (I did kind of 30 new flashes to cm, pardus, cloudyg3/stock/pro2/flex, optimusg3, nothing changed, then I had the stupid decision to try carbon again and now I have more black stripes on the right corner, now they are a middlefinger thickness. I got some dead pixel apps and I got a line less for some time (it came back, don't know for sure if it's the same or a new one very close)

is there anything else I can do as i have no more warranty? (3months warranty)

I've already opened it and blow the lcd's connector, took off battery cable, and nothing happened..
[G2 General] Formhault:
1. What do you mean by "3 months warranty"?

2. When was your phone manufactured? (see the link in my signature)
[G2 General] danilow_16:
1) I mean I live in brazil, warranty sucks at the point it's the same as you don't have one, ( i had serious issues before)

so I bought my phone in paraguay for in 460 dolars(16gb) if I remember well, (in br it could bost 800 dolars(d805 variant))

I wanted the d802 variant. for a fair price too.

2) I'm not with my box at the time, I will see when I get home
[G2 General] zihh:
Sorry man, I don't know about that... Do u tried reboot ur phone?
[G2 General] Formhault:
You can get the IMEI by dialing *#06# in Phone. See my signature :p

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Of course.

Can you check that in Tapatalk on your end, too? Set brightness to maximum and make sure you're using the gray background (not sure if there's an option for a white one, too). Look closer :D
[G2 General] zihh:
Yes, just check that, I don't have the problem.

Btw, check this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2623642. See post no.9 & 12..... I thinks he explain it. :)
[G2 General] Formhault:
I just checked my phone again and the image retention of the soft buttons (plus the lines that were extending out of the text in Tapatalk) are 99% gone.

3 hours ago, when I was in Tapatalk, I could see something that looked like an app icon from the app drawer (very feint, but it was there) and all over the gray background in Tapatalk, there was this... smudged thing like the remnants of some very small text. Whatever it was, it's gone. Guess LCD has its times when it just craps out for a short ammount of time :silly:.

And yeah... I saw that thread. Just didn't notice this on my G2 until now. But as I previously said, guess LCD has its times when... :silly:
[G2 General] zihh:
Yeah, I guess I can use back the black color soft key again, white just look weird for me... Haha
[G2 General] danilow_16:
Look at that, my phone is kind of old as I bought it in Feb or march,

<esndate>20131031</esndate>

<esnoutgodate>20131101</esnoutgodate><buyername>UNITED ARAB EMIRATES</buyername>

Have anyone tried to let the phone off for +24hours to see what happens?
[G2 General] Formhault:
[MENTION=4005436]Compass Linux[/MENTION] didn't use his G2 for a while, and when he booted it back up a few days (or weeks?) later, it still had the lines. The lines are not fixable by something as simple as a reboot.

Your phone is old. And I don't mean usage time (you bought it in February, so you barely used it for 6 months - that's not old). What I mean is manufacturing date - at that time, it was probably one of the first batches of G2 (obviously, first revision of screen). Which means your phone was more susceptible to black lines than newer ones (which, so far, turns out to be correct, as you just got the lines). :p

If an app which rapidly shifts colors (like Dead Pixel Detect and Fix) doesn't solve it (at least partially), then nothing will.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I also live in Brazil and the warranty doesn't suck (if you drop and break it, yeah, no warranty then). If you had bought with a receipt in Brazil you would have at least one year warranty like I do. I paid something around 600 USD for my Black 16GB D805.

I'm too lazy to check where you live, but if it's near Paraguay you could buy a new screen panel there, or take it to be fixed in Paraguay.

Compass.
[G2 General] danilow_16:
I had some problems with a s3 insane chip(hardbrick no matter what, custom or stock) and they coudn't get me a new one, guess what, lots of people from other countries could have their fixed, but anyways, it's kind of a long time ago, I think I'll go to paraguai this month to see what they can do (no warranty left), my gf had her d805 screen cracked(her fault) and they made her pay R$ 700 in marilia-sp(+-320 USD) for its replacement, maybe in paraguai I can get it for 120 USD, I hope so..

do you have any suggestion to see the rev of the screen or anything like jdi or lgd before they install it?

tks
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
It's in the OP, but it doesn't always work. When I returned to stock TOT it didn't, but after installing CloudyStock 2.3 it was readable. I don't know why it happens this way.

[G2 General] cckeeler:
So I have been reading through this thread trying to see if this is something I need to worry about. I have been running stock rooted for a while and want to flash a rom or two. I'm just worried about this screen damage aspect of this phone. It seems the older units have the problem. How do I tell when mine was manufactured? I'm on the verizon variant by the way.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
The instructions are in the thread. Search for "esndate" in the thread, and you shall profit.

Or check the OP, since I'll add the instructions there. My bad.

Compass.
[G2 General] cckeeler:
So what dates are more susceptible to the black lines? Mine was manufactured in 20131203.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Nobody knows for sure.

We believe the older batches are more sucseptible, but that's just a hunch because we don't have the official numbers.

Judging from your esndate, your batch is a bit old, so theoretically your device is more prone. Anyway, if you still have at least 03 months warranty I wouldn't worry. You'd have that period to flash/test whatever you want.

Compass.
[G2 General] velveteen71:
So, we assume this is permanent, physical damage as the lines are present in ROMs and in recovery.

Here's my question: why aren't the lines visible on the LG splash screen or PA boot screen? That is some deep black color going on there, and even when scrutinizing hardcore in pitch black darkness, I don't see ****.

(Apologies if this has been discussed. Did not see it anywhere.)
[G2 General] undeadking:
"So, we assume this is permanent, physical damage as the lines are present in ROMs and in recovery."

You are correct... I've had MY VS980 less than 2 months and already had 3 phones warranty replaced due to the dreaded Black Lines. This 4th warranty replacement has held up the best- I flash at least 2 or more roms/kernels(running the hell out of them) daily with dr87's TWRP build and haven't had a single issue yet. ***It's not guaranteed protection/solution but it is cheap insurance against the heat***
[G2 General] gonk24:
I purchased my Sprint G2 the week it was released last November. I've backed up, flashed roms, restored backups, and used tot files to go back to stock I'd say 30 times so far. I wouldn't say it every gets hot, just slightly warm. These have been a combo of stock, CM, and a G3 ROM. This G2 has been a solid performer so far. Fingers crossed it keeps up.

This is my 2nd G2. I returned the 1st to Best Buy during the first week because it was getting absurdly hot during medium to heavy load.
[G2 General] Formhault:
The boot screen? What does that consist of? A red circle in the middle of the screen - the rest is pitch black. How would you see a black line on a black color? :silly:

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Fingers crossed. But you have warranty, so you are at least covered... :p

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

@undeadking

Those lines don't actually look too bad. I mean seriously, at least they're see-through (so they seem)... but man, they are plenty...
[G2 General] reaper61616:
Try install AOSP based rom and gapps (one recovery session - without reboot), right after instalation go to developers settings and use ART... Let it reboot... ;)
[G2 General] Formhault:
It will get hot because the kernel lacks thermal throttling. If you use a kernel like [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION]'s, it won't get that hot.
[G2 General] velveteen71:
Seriously? Well....if you use one of those dead-pixel apps, you can cycle thru the different colours/choose which colours it cycles thru. If you just choose a pure black screen, you'll see the lines. (Do you not have the lines yourself? One light-coloured backgrounds, the lines appear black. On dark ones, they appear grey).

I have a dark-ass wallpaper. Like, black. You can see the lines. Grey.

So, this is not a dumb question. If the lines are present when the screen is ON, then they should in theory appear at boot too.

If they didn't appear on a black screen, why wouldn't everyone switch to a ROM with - what are they called - inverted apps?
[G2 General] Formhault:
I don't have the lines. Hope I never do. Am planning on getting rid of this G2 and getting another one (with warranty) or a Moto G. F*** it, I'm done!!!

You're right. If they appear in a dark wallpaper but not a boot logo... that's weird! Not sure what to tell you :(
[G2 General] velveteen71:
Me too. I've listed it on Craigslist "as is" for $275. I know, good luck right? I hope someone bites: there's another guy who lives near me selling his brand new 64gb One+ for $300!
[G2 General] Formhault:
1+1 at $300... Ouch... Well, good luck! Hopefully no one knows what that OnePlus is and goes for the oh-everybody-knows-'bout-them LG :silly:.

Speaking of OnePlus... I just got an invite to buy the 1+1. Too bad I don't live in a country OnePlus can ship - not sure why they even sent me an invite in the first place, f***ing retards...

But... No. More. Flagships! I'M F***ING DONE! I don't want a $800 phone which can cost $200 to repair the next time you answer a phonecall.
[G2 General] hrnand0:
Does anyone know if this issue is happening with the LG G2 F320? I was thinking of buying a LG G2 but knowing this problem maybe is wiser to choose another phone. Thank you in advance
[G2 General] RohanM:
Mate I simply don't understand your frustration.. If you are so worried for black lines then simply be on stock.. use xposed to customize things..

Only autoprime is the one who got the issue in stock (but again he was doing some partition related in ADB) so normal people will not do that..

I also sold My GS3 due to fear of that ****ing sudden death syndrome.. (I was not going to use any custom roms still I sold it :p)

& bought Nexus 4 & started missing the GS3..

Now a happy G2 user.. :cowboy:
[G2 General] Formhault:
Do a Google Search on G2 touchscreen issue. See how many people got those - on stock! Albeit those units were early... We have no way of knowing if these issues are to emerge only on early units or even a phone manufactured in June 2014 can get them.

Seeing so many people with problematic G2's (black lines, screen flicker, crazy touchscreen) doesn't really make me comfortable holding a device just like theirs.

Besides... I take you are 100% ok with a 2013 flagship phone from LG (OEM who makes display units since... I dunno... forever?)... WITH FAULTY DISPLAYS... Good for you.
[G2 General] gonk24:
I flashed CM11 and gapps in the same session multiple times over a couple days without issue. As far as ART, I won't touch it considering Google themselves said it wasn't ready and is experimental. I'm avoiding the headaches of app incompatibility until ART is the default runtime.
[G2 General] RohanM:
I never cared abt the OEM AFA the user exp is satisfy me...

YEAH I a am happy with the device because it is not giving any trouble & working as I wanted.. :angel:

Be happy with waht you have got man.. Money still don't grow on trees... :p
[G2 General] Formhault:
Well, I do. Especially when there is a chance it will affect ME.

And there you go!!! Money doesn't grow on trees. What tree shall I take $200 from in the event that it happens to me? :)

You will never get A PERFECT PHONE

[G2 General] Formhault:
What the hell?! Is asking for a phone which doesn't have a chance to DIE too much?!

The G2 is the first phone I ever heard of that has a screen which can DIE IN SUCH WAYS. Jesus Christ... Perfect phone... I want one which DOESN'T GIVE ME THE FRILLS EVERY DAY. OK?
[G2 General] DREWHAMM974:
I was told when I talked to LG about mine when it happened to me after taking the ls980 KK OTA that about half of their calls that month has been due to faulty screens. It is more likely on these AOSP ROMs that have been listed due to the commit issue dr87 brought up but nevertheless the hardware problems are what is being stressed to do the other damage IMHO. It'd have to be damaged already and some sort of breaking point finishes them off.

White lines are related to JDI panel vs. LGD panel mismatch kernel that a JDI specific kernel can fix. The thin, hair-like, 25-30, black lines on the right hand side of the screen are not reversible that we know off at this point.
