Today I left my device at a licensed LG repair store, after successfully restoring it to stock with the proper TOT file (yes, the root flag was gone from Download Mode).

At the store I was told that:

It shouldn't take more than 10 days;

The device will be fixed by the store. If they can't do it, they'll send it to LG.

The attendant wasn't a technician, so I refrained from asking the proper questions.

Not so bad. I don't want a refurbished device, and the hope of getting a new phone is a bit farther now if they can fix it (most likely). :o

Gone back to my Motorola Fone for now. :victory:

I just had a heart attack. I flashed from SlimKat to Gummy Rom and didn't like it, so I used a Nandroid backup to get back. I restarted and got the grey/inverted LG Logo with one horizontal white line at the bottom and one black line horizontal on the right side. I knew this thread existed beforehand, so when I saw it I INSTANTLY turned it off. I held it in my hands for like 5 minutes to cool down a bit (I more or less knew about the heat stories and I definitely believe them now). Here's the twist: I turned it on and there are absolutely no lines. But I think I'm now more likely to get them... Maybe I'll flash it to stock and sell it for a Nexus 5, at least there aren't issues like this.

Edit: I just read some pages back, that many had this on SlimKat 6.4, so I flashed back to 6.2 just now.

Mine's production date is 03/2014, 1.2(BL),1.1(HM), and 1.1(rev). So far i have flashed many time(cloudy and pardus stock based rom), haven't encounter any screen problem yet. But now i very tempting to flash PA4.4(been on this rom since Nexus 4,very like it), after seeing this thread i think i got to hold back.:crying:
[G2 General] khaytsus:
You realize your IMEI is still showing, right?
[G2 General] zihh:
Really? But even it show i think is ok right?
[G2 General] chillstep1998:
Surprise! Your IMEI is 358635056963***

No, most of the time it's no problem if it's showing, but it's better to hide it ;)
[G2 General] wulsic:
In my opinion just better censor it:good: Especially on a forum like XDA where there are threads about IMEI changing etc just for your own safety:laugh:

This is not going about the LCD damage with Vertical lines etc but I just wanted to say to people that they need to have for safety Cases for their phones even if its an Cheap gel case that little money could save ya a lot of money.

I noticed that the G2 still has Gorilla Glass 2 I don't know why because the S4 was even released earlier with Glass3.

But I just wanted to say that if people would drop their LG G2 and that their screen will crack and their touch will not function is because the Glass is broken and the sensors are build in so they will not fully function anymore.

But I had dropped my LG Optimus 2X once without case :eek: accidently and the screen only had a crack but was fully working and if the Nexus 4 would drop the Touchscreen would also not work anymore so In my opinion Gorilla Glass 1 and 3 Rules and 2 Is just bad even if its smaller then 1.

Just ignore this post :silly: I just was in the mood to type something about phones:rolleyes:

Btw I still think if you read about all the people who get the lines after flashing something like slimkat paranoid android or whatever that the cause also might be like someone said earlier that its the display drivers. Because with no proper display drivers for a specific android version(with this I mean just like you have Caf and without) that you will get Something like reversed colors just like a purple or greenish LG logo, And with bad display drivers just like windows warns you with installing drivers, they could damage the device.

After reading all the posts from people here I don't think the Heat is the main cause maybe for like 1% who were on stock rom with vertical lines and or they had the LG rom with bad display drivers just like they released for D802 Outdated display drivers. And the most people get it on custom AOSP based roms like slimkat paranoid etc so I think its display driver related:)

Sent from my PC since I am still phoneless :(

Sorry if my post is a bit here and there the same but I can't think properly atm because I have too many things on my mind right now.
[G2 General] Formhault:
So you got his IMEI. Now what can you do with it? :)
[G2 General] 4x4jumper:
flashed c-rom 7.1 and got the black lines, i than got out at my FD station and dropped it cracking the screen:/ ok ok so I bought a complete front and swapped over the guts, booted fine, I was so happy, installed g2exposed and rebooted (on carbon rom which i had flashed on the broken screen) and the lines are BACK but now much more! SON OF A 8!TCH
[G2 General] richielasalsa:
What licenced place did you go too
[G2 General] 4x4jumper:
Who said I went to a licensed place? I did my own work, nothing to it, swap over and done. Not my first rodeo.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Ehh that sucks then just wasted money and time for nothing then.

Maybe you can try the app from chillstep1998 in the OP it might work and it might not work for you but trying is always good right.

Just let the app on for 30 minutes i guess and then maybe some lines are gone.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Sorry for you, man...

I guess you don't have warranty for the parts, neither? :(
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
So sad. :(

Makes me wonder where the issue is in the hardware. I hope the black lines won't return to my device after I collect it from RMA.

Compass.
[G2 General] Formhault:
That'd be ridiculous. I mean fix it and one month after your warranty expires, boom, lines again? Jesus...

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

I was so excited when I first got this G2... now I miss my Galaxy S4.

Why does EVERY manufacturer HAVE to f*** something up so badly? :(
[G2 General] richielasalsa:
Check the quoted reply he said licenced lg repair store
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
My warranty is still valid until the end of 2014, so if the black lines do reappear I'm covered. That only doesn't apply if I break something myself (as is the norm).

Compass.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Oh, my bad. I don't know why I thought you said some time ago that you'll bring your phone into service when it's 1 month until warranty expires... My memory isn't ECC, apparently :silly:
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I anticipated the RMA actually. Checked my calendar and saw good enough reason to do it in July rather than August.

I advise anyone with the black lines under warranty to send their G2 for RMA as soon as possible. Just in case the black lines reappear you'll still hopefully be under warranty.

Compass.
[G2 General] 4x4jumper:
My apologies, you posted right after me and I assumed you were replying to me...

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

I ran app as I did with previous screen and while it removed some it did not remove many, I asked about returning the screen and they want to replace it but I have this baaaaad feeling about this phone and might just get the g3 now. I can't believe LG hasn't done anything about this issue. I was never ever in recovery, only a reboot after installing g2xposed. It's not a screen issue as I thought and that's what scares me the most, what do I try replacing next to stop the madness???
[G2 General] wulsic:
Well I would suggest you to maybe try to run the app tomorrow again or maybe a bit longer idk. I am not protecting LG now but I think the reason why they didn't do anything about this issue is maybe also that it only occurs by some phones and not the most and it would cost them money and Samsung etc would have done the same. But my concern is that the stripes are removable so not really permanent but something controlled/demanded it to get the lines so that points again on the driver but idk.

Well the thing you can replace next to stop the madness is the phone and get yourself another one even if the G2 Rules like hell with its design camera etc:crying: Except for gorilla glass 2:silly:

Btw does anybody also have sometimes that you can't connect to XDA or that you are posting something and its not getting posted:confused: I am having this issue already like 7 weeks or longer even:eek:

But the thing I wanted to say in the post what didn't got posted... Is that the most people who get the lines is from flashing roms(AOSP Based) and after reboot or what the lines occur and or the LG logo gets inverted or something like that so that points out on the Display drivers just like if you would have flashed the wrong display drivers on your nexus 4 and you would get purplish or some other color screen.
[G2 General] echoes14:
This is rich, coming from an Auburn (Scam Newton!) fan! ;)

(Full disclosure: I'm a Razorback fan.)

On topic: if it's physical damage to the screen, I'm pretty sure nothing rom-related will fix it.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
If you could tell us where you read that (it's been stated in this thread already), it would be very helpful.

The price of a replacement LCD screen is not bad. For those that are feeling guilty, you can take this route.

Maybe LG used some cheapy LCD on our phones, with a lot of us experiencing white lines, would not surprise me if further down the line more people start experiencinging this coming from Stock or AOSP/CM.
[G2 General] simpsonr:
1) I don't "feel bad".

2) It WAS aimed at me because you quoted my statement as the direct antithesis of your view point.

Point is: Your comment is totally useless other than bring to light your personal ethical threshold. That's called "a soapbox". To illustrate the point... we've filled up three posts on this topic and no one in here is going to change their ethical threshold due to our banter. Therefore, it's useless.
[G2 General] fordmanck:
That's cute.

My apologies again. Yes, the way you quoted will get you back to stock. That's more where I was going.

/off soapbox.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Thanks for that!

They won't ship outside the U.S.A. so I'd have to do some searching on my side, but it makes me wonder since it costs like US$50 from ebay, how much did it cost LG to make these screens? Did LG get cheap on us? Ahem, I think I'd better not know!

[G2 General] lacus:
Its on my local forum (indonesian)

Tell me if you need link
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Can you tell us here if you think it might help tracking this issue?

Everyone would appreciate.

Thanks.

[G2 General] lacus:
I dont think it will help, just somebody reporting damaged screen after ota and reboot.
[G2 General] darkboy654:
someone with cyanogenmod?

I think so far is the only one without problem!
[G2 General] simpsonr:
that's cuz cyanogenmod is on the 12B bootstack. All these screen issues are for folks on 24A.
[G2 General] leomd333:
I get my new replacement G2 this week (due to another screen issue) I shall stay on the stock ROM until this is resolved. It is a very interesting issue to say the least.
[G2 General] :
none on Mahdi
[G2 General] DREWHAMM974:
If you will read the description you will see that is only the

glass. No digitizer included. You will be the entire screen to fix this since it is actually in the screen and not cracked glass. The only thing that would help is if you dropped it with only cracking glass and IF you were good enough to use a heat gun to grt it off without burning the digitizer. I've never been able to and I have changed many many screens in the last few years. (Do repairs on the side for extra cash. This is what you would need and I have ordered from this site multiple times. Great customer service and shipping times. http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-g2-d800-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
[G2 General] MRobbo80:
Would it not be useful that Rom developers can confirm that "commit" is not in there rom and give us flashers some trust in flashing again.
[G2 General] Lawlrus:
Once someone figures it out I'm sure it will be plastered all over the place. Not knowing exactly what the issue is, it's going to take some time. Hasn't been more then 24 hours since they started happening in masses, as opposed to last time.

Patience, or spin the wheel.

[G2 General] MRobbo80:
Ok thanks very much, lets hope it gits sorted ASAP.
[G2 General] darkobas:
this thing looks so random that its most likely manufacturing problem. We see it now more because the devices get older. crap lg
[G2 General] fordmanck:
I talked to Verizon today. I was planning on paying for the repair but they insisted it's a manufacturers problem and are sending me a phone. He said lately they have seen huge influx in calls for this issue. Take that for what it's worth.
[G2 General] travp624:
Does anyone know if the d800 screen is exactly the same as the vs980. Just thinking thats one way to get rid of the vzw logo lmao.
[G2 General] Formhault:
One guy said he got rid of (some of) the lines. ONE GUY.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
If you can replace the screen for free because it's under warranty, why not? Better than keeping the black lines, and once fixed you could try to sell it.

Compass.
[G2 General] wulsic:
I wonder, Did somebody got the Black vertical lines on Miui:confused:
[G2 General] wm388:
Well, ****. Running C-Rom 7.1 on VS980, after some weird reboots (white flashes, etc.) over a few weeks, today I finally rebooted up to see a vertical black line running on the right side of the screen. Time for replacement #2! It's gonna be annoying to revert to stock again...
[G2 General] gabe565:
Same thing happened to me actually.

A few weeks ago I flashed a nightly of CarbonROM while plugged in, and on reboot after flashing I got the terrible glitchy LG screen. It was weird because my phone was not hot at all! Still, I shut it off as quickly as possible and ran to the freezer to leave it in there for a while. After taking it out with no changes, I decided to get a stuck pixel fixer (before I knew this thread existed) because I really wanted it to go away...

After using that app in the freezer for about 10 mins, most of the lines started going away. I didn't believe it! After another day, some more went away leaving 3 lines.

A week later the LG logo glitched again and they all came back, but then they slowly (over the course of days) went away except for the same 3. I didn't use that app or anything.

These remaining 3 look to be stuck, so I'm talking to Verizon to get it replaced.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Given the small user base MIUI has for this device... nah... don't expect an answer, lol.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Good that lines dissapear but in the freezer? Isnt that risky because then your phone is in a humid area, couldnt that cause waterdamage? Correct me if im wrong
[G2 General] kuppenhorst:
Funny thing is my iphone 4s had issues with gps and wifi greying out. This could temporaly be fixed by putting it into the freezer too. Never had problem with water...
[G2 General] Formhault:
As long as you don't keep it in there for more than 5 minutes, you should be good. I once forgot my HTC Desire in there for 30 minutes... no problem :D.
[G2 General] flb1213:
Is G2 is the only phone with the black line/screen problems? and is it a good device for people who like to change ROMs?
[G2 General] kuppenhorst:
Seems it's not. Take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54318676
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
There aren't any reports yet of the G3 having the same issue, if you meant LG devices.

In the matter of ROMS, there is a sticky thread in the forum with most, if not all Stock ROMS, Custom ROMS, Kernels etc. That's a matter of choice, but to me the variety is pretty good.

Compass.
[G2 General] gabe565:
I thought the same thing so I wrapped my phone in paper towels, then put that in a ziploc bag. It kept it dry! And I only left it in there for like 7-10 minutes!
[G2 General] hypnz:
I agree g2 has support from the developers. Isn't like optimus g pro who doesn't have support at all.
[G2 General] flb1213:
Well my question was more directed at the problems that happen(e.g. black lines) when you flash a ROM on the G2, no doubt that its is a nice device but the durability while flashing is what worries me, earlier this year before the wider black line problem broke out I had to return my original G2 because of the lines on the screen and havent really flashed may ROMs since, so with that said is the G2 a durable enough device for flashing custom ROMs?
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
It all boils down to the fact that there is no way of knowing if the device you have in your hands is safe. Mine wasn't, most people's are. You might end up with a different problem entirely.

My personal opinion is that if you buy a G2 with at least 01 year warranty, don't worry too much. Just be sure before you buy that there is a TOT for your version, so you can flash back to stock in case you have to RMA.

I also think the G2 for Custom ROM's is an amazing device. You won't regret it on that aspect.

Sorry to hear that, mate. If it helps you feel any better, I had to bring my old Motorola Z8 for 6 times to the service centre (5+ years ago). Didn't charge -> they changed battery, then the USB port, then the charging cable flex but f***ed something up, then f***ed another thing up and so on. :D

Go there and make him feel bad he applied for a position as a whatever in a store which sells technology, thing which he has nothing to do with. F*** those retards.

Guys Help

Could someone explain me what happened to my phone? please guys look at the pictures, i seems that the backlight led are always one only on the edges, please help me.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Something similar (but on a much, much smaller scale) happens on my device. It's only visible on grays. As I said, it's MUCH smaller for me - not an issue so far.

When did your phone start doing this? :eek:
[G2 General] su660ics:
The same for me, much smaller and only occasionally appeared after flashing rom or sometimes while charging. And yes, only on gray shade. Maybe thats just the beginning. I really hope not like that
[G2 General] PopaStefanx:
this, morning, well i have cloudy g3 with dorinmax 6.1 with 2.5oc and yesterday i played mc5 for 10 minutes with gltools installed and with T600 fake gpu driver on, and then i left the phone to charge while it was shutted down for all night about 10 hours and this morning when i unplugged him from the charger this was showed, now it disappeard and is normally, but i'm a little scared about this, now i put underclock to 1 ghz and also a cpu temp monitor
[G2 General] Kulwinder Singh:
this thing happened on my earlier lg l9.it happened when i was installing drivers of phone to pc.that was a long process that included steps like removing the battery and then inseting the data cable.in first attempt i had installed drivers of wrong phone model and then these white and gray shades appeared.then when i installed the right drivers these shades automatically gone
[G2 General] Formhault:
Glad to hear it's all good now. But how hot was the CPU / battery / device?

I'd say stay away from overclocking. At least on this device. And hell, man, Snapdragon 800 is powerful enough...

Oh and with regards to [MENTION=4845123]PopaStefanx[/MENTION]'s LCD freakout from a bit earlier... I said my display shows that on grays, too, although on a much more smaller scale... but it's not always. Now, for example, it's all good :eek:.

I'll try to see if I can snap a picture of it next time it happens. Maybe I'll make a new thread, too...
[G2 General] PopaStefanx:
Well my cpu was at about 73°C which is quite normal for me, i had a sensation xe which always run at 80°C while playing games, and never had a issue, and also now, no problem i have perfectly working screen, i hope that this problem will never happen again, battery was cold about 33°C and i think that is normal temperature, here in italy this morning there where 30°C so.... i only tried to overclock for a bench and i forget the cpu to 2.5, now i will always check it before doing anything, so the device stays cool and fresh. i hope that you will solve with your issue, i did this to make those white lines go away, first i rebooted it about 10 times and then i played a lot with the brightness slider from 100 to 0 and from 0 to 100, after doing that i shutted down my phone for about 2 hours and when i powered it on the screen was perfect. Good LUCK

It's not the game. Even I get those "white lines" (more like brighter than normal hallows at the edge of the screen) and I'm not playing any game (except for Castle Clash every once in a while)...

I too think it has something to do with the charger.. coz when I put it on charging n use the phone while it is charging i.e. when I touch the screen while it is charging, the charger gives humming type of sound...

Anyone else noticed this?
