[G2 General] MBurns2:
Do you know if the dev of Vanir did some recent changes that may have caused it ?

back in the days paranoid android caused black lines on some devices, so i'm trying to figure if it can be a problem related to a rom or it is an hardware fault.

If you look at this thread you can see that the g2 of 2013 (so "the first batches") are more prone to black lines, so for me the problem is related to hardware.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Well [MENTION=3387811]nedooo[/MENTION] please don't powerup the argument discussion. Formhault will probably react back on this but guys please stay on topic.

Also don't watch my grammar [emoji14]
[G2 General] nedooo:
I'm sorry, my situation is next: I had Oneplus One and it has generally yellow bottom (next to capacitive buttons) part of the display. We (users) concluded (after few ridiculous explanations s from OPO) that yellowing of the display is caused by partially opaque diffuser used in display made by JDI. So I gave it to my wife since she doesn't even notice that anomaly :)

My G2 is in warranty and I want to be clear what are the true issues of the LG G2 display...I saw some nasty burn spots, nasty lines...all of those are huge issues. So we must look in to this deeply...

Sorry again...
[G2 General] appileh:
Exactly a little touch is enough on G2 and G3 to get ripples.. I heard someone say that its normal on lcd and ips displays, but i dont understand why some of the people dont have this with those phones?
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=3387811]nedooo[/MENTION] well I also wanted to buy the oneplus one but after I've read all of the problems with display, 2 brands of digitizers and more problems I decided not too. Plus you could better buy a normal phone like the g2 or g3 where you can flash a aosp rom on and you have the same but you are also paying for the software like from camera cause the LG camera is pretty beast in the dark.

Till now I dont have any problems with my g2 and its already 8-9 months old in total. I am not suffeeing from yellowish color(some glue problem also something with heat I believed) lines are maybe caused by software but also hardware related it also possible but I think still that it may be software related cause you are supporting not one display but 2 and also 2 kinds of digitizers. Yeah we are also looking into it and found several things what MIGHT have causes it but we aren't sure what the exact cause is. The only thing that we really know is that LG won't say it for multiple reasons.

My tip/advice is to also stay on your specific device's section like that I am mostly on the d802 section and also for dorimanx and cloudy on the android development forum.

The devs are smart but supporting multiple devices could sometimes cause issues like that. I am still flashing the **** out of my G2 but the best still stays for me the G3 stock port. I wish that the G2 didnt had a locked bootloader and only one type of device, would cause less problems.

Good that you gave your 1+1 to your wife since she's probably only doing candycrush and maybe chatting a bit else you can always sell it.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Congratulations for figuring that one out. Now, let's cut the bull**** and be civil.

You downgraded from the OPO to the G2? Woah, and I was thinking I should upgrade to the OPO myself :laugh: .

I heard the yellow tint is caused by the adhesive holding the display and glass together... and it usually goes away on its own, or if you let the phone in the sun for a bit (there was this tech guy ranting about this on YouTube). I take it wasn't adhesive-related in your case? :eek:

As long as you're covered by warranty, I'd say flash back to stock (if you're rooted & all that) and bring it to LG. Really, the display shouldn't have any yellow patches or anything. And as for the black lines... yeah, that's debatable (we still don't know if it's software, hardware, or Jesus that's causing them to show up).

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Well... I now have a tempered glass on the display (since August, actually), so maybe that's a factor. I remember my phone needed more force to be applied before showing ripples... but now, even light touches are enough.

It's all about pressure. Not all phones are created equally, so your display & glass assembly might be more "tight" than mine (or otherwise) and so on.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

The top side of my G2's display has a yellow tint. Most visible on white (but AOSP gray, as well). I think the diehard-for-screen-perfection within me is dying...

2 months after I bought the G2, I started contemplating... "Why didn't I get the freaking G Pro 2?!". :(
[G2 General] laufersteppenwolf:
Let's keep it on topic, please. And I mean all of you...

----> Thread cleaned
[G2 General] appileh:
Should i worry about the ripple, or is it normal.. I heard that Z3 have the same ****ty problem.. But when im on whatsapp the letters W & E makes me a little bit crazy when i touch them.. I hope it will not become worser, but will tempered glass "fix" my problem?
[G2 General] Formhault:
It is normal, to some extent. It should not be visible when you touch the screen gently or press it very lightly.

If it ripples when you type on the keyboard, it's bad. It's not dangerous, but... it's not normal.

A tempered glass will not help. If anything, it will just add more weight to the phone, which COULD make the ripple issue worse (if it's already bad), lol :silly: .
[G2 General] wulsic:
No you shouldn't really worry about it or you must really press unneccesarily hard. If I am pressing hard then the ripples also come. Pretty logical but it's okay but yeah you have to find it out youraelf what you want. [MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION] you bought the G2 because of it's shortname and that we got dorimanx over here.

I also have a glass screen protector and I don't really have problems with any ripples except for when I am pressing really hard.

I am still thinking what could cause the stripe problems and why are there more people getting stripes on roms like paranoid android. What is the difference between that sourcecode and the one's from other custom roms.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Lol.

I gave up on thinking about that, trying to find logical explanations and such... Nah...

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 AM ----------

Hey [MENTION=5403922]wulsic[/MENTION], now that we mentioned tempered glass screen protectors... Please try this for me, real quick.

Place the phone flat on a surface (like a desk, for example). Turn the screen on. Try to pull down the notification bar. While your finger is at the top (along the status bar), move it around, from the left corner to the right corner.

Problem : my phone's screen seems to have a weakness when it comes to touching the right side of the status bar (the upper-right corner area, in general), and it's flat on a surface. Really, only when it's flat on a surface.
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION] I dont have a weakness in the corners. But I noticed while being in tapatalk that in the corners if you only touch it really in the corner that the statusbar sometimes doesnt go down but menu button is getting pressed. Sometimes statusbar is going and sometimes not. Do you have a curved screenprotector or just really only for the screen? Becsuse some screenprotectors are covering also the curved sides. Mine is only protecting the screen and not the sides, I dont know which brand it is.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Mine also goes over the bezels a bit. Towards the very edge. It has curved edges, so yeah :)
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I do see ripples on this replaced screen of mine, but during normal usage? Nope. Above normal pressure is required to see the ripples, and it doesn't seem to behave the same way in different places where I press.

Currently suffering ROM flashing withdrawl but too afraid of the black lines returning, so I'm sticking with CloudyStock (keeping up to date) from now on. :D

Compass.
[G2 General] x3m.zone:
For a few days, I have on scren (in a corner) a yellow vertical spot/line. Not very visible yet, but is there.

The problem appeared after I left my phone sitting on a hard disk (magnet) for almost 10hrs.

So yes, don't let your phone on a magnet! Ever.
[G2 General] khaytsus:
If you really mean a hard disk, there is zero flux OUTSIDE of a static hard disk. The magnets are balanced inside.

I think what happened was a witch turned your phone into a newt.... but it got better.
[G2 General] en11gma:
so what is the problem when its white / grey when on a black background?

also noticed that the white or grey is gone when you put phone to sleep and wake it back up but it gradually comes back for a few seconds

it also will have a frosty look around the 4 sides and corners going around the edges.

this is right after a screen replacement but i was running xdabbeb 2.3 when i did do the replacement

is this the same problem or am i having a different problem

couple more things to add

if i put back on the old lcd assy with bad digitizer it works fine.

i mean the lcd does not have any of these problems

here are a couple SS of what its doing right now

here are some pics of the original screen assy tag and the replacement tags

[G2 General] Formhault:
The replacement part doesn't look authentic to me... at least judging by the font of the text... Well, I dunno :eek:

The screen(s) is / are bad. What the hell...
[G2 General] appileh:
LG scam the market with cheap lcd's
[G2 General] wulsic:
I don't think that they are making cheap lcd's. The quality of the LG screens are in my opinion pretty superior when comparing to others. If you are talking about the yellow spot problem then that has nothing to do with the lcd, the colors from the lcd, well not every lcd has the exact same colors. The stripe problem's cause is still unknown but I believe that it can be triggered software wise and physically.

[MENTION=5073918]en11gma[/MENTION] I am not sure but a also like formhault said, it doesn't really look authentic because as far as I have seen they don't put a year as production date. It could also be perhaps a jdi display? But I don't think so. It is probably not coming directly from LG.
[G2 General] :
Hi, I'm reading of every kind of bugs and problems from other people comments about the recent builds, so I'm asking myself if I should upgrade my 27th Jan build to the last nightly.

So far, I have absolutely no major problems so it's just curiosity about newer features.

Should I?
[G2 General] appileh:
Just dont flash bro (the g2 is really a messed up phone i mean the screen) or go to cloudy rom etc.
[G2 General] wulsic:
I don't know which rom you are using but I suggest to look in the thread from the rom itself and read the replies from people before doing it. I am always reading first the replies before I flash a rom just to give me more insight about the situation and how the rom is:good:
[G2 General] tukull:
just adding smth...

just bought used G2 D802, played minion rush/ despicable me for 2 days, about 3 hours total ( man this game is resource heavy!)

phone felt warm but not hot. everything okay.

then the third day, rooted, installed TWRP 2.8.4, flashed couple of ROMs, 4.4, 5.0, note that i flashed almost 3 different ROMs in just about 4 hours to test them out which one i like.

phone still worked, no random reboots, screen looked fine.

4th day, curious about downclocking cpu to save power, trying to flash CyanogenMod UNOFFICIAL - 4.4.4 along with a custom kernel ( I'm not gonna tell which kernel here, don't wanna start flaming ).

first boot, phone worked fine, installing my apps, tinker a bit with settings, then let it sit for a while.

1 minute later, screen went black, i'm sure my display settings set for 5 minutes before turning screen off.

phone rebooted itself, went to LG logo, then blackout happened again.

waited about 10 seconds, phone rebooted itself again, this time the reboot completes.

entering lockscreen, BAM, lots of black vertical lines on right side of screen. it was about 22 lines more or less.

reading this thread, tried to use dead pixel fixer app. run it for a couple of minutes...

now those lines start vanishing themselves everytime i start using this app.

been four days now, only 6 lines left...

i'm sure it has nothing to do with overheating.

wish me luck guys, 6 lines to go!
[G2 General] NEO2598:
I don't think all the lines will disapear or even if they do,they will apear again...You have to send it for replacement or service like I did.
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=755898]tukull[/MENTION] You didn't made much posts from 2007 till now xD but okay no problem. I wish you luck with your remaining six lines. I hope that you won't get trolled by the last line.:good:
[G2 General] Pseudo_Soldier:
Got hit with this when I flashed PA on my LS-980, flashed the .zips in TWRP...restarted....LG logo appeared then screen started 'fogging' up as in it looked like a white fog was taking over the screen....held power button to turn off as fast as I could.....restarted to recovery and.......LINES!!! Good thing I had bought the extended warranty so no real biggie didn't even go a day without my phone so good on Sprint there.
[G2 General] MBurns2:
did you flash latest PA lollipop ?

when was your phone manufactured ?
[G2 General] Pseudo_Soldier:
No it was the Kitkat version from below, it was an early model don't know exactly. :) Probably shoulda mentioned that, Lollipop PA is fine from what I have seen.

Hi Guys!

My friend sell a G2 with this display problem.. is it repairable in warranty or not??

[G2 General] Formhault:
Well, it looks about right, yeah. That's the damage a fall like that can do to the internal components, especially if they're low`ish quality (which seems to be the case, for the G2, especially when it comes to display connectors).

If the phone doesn't show signs of damage and abuse and all that... it should still be eligible for repair under warranty (provided that's still available, of course). I mean unless it's got like a big dent in the case or a crack...
[G2 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
After going through the thread, I'm a bit confused about buying the G2. If I buy it, it'll be a brand new. So, my question would be, if I flash ROMs and kernels on it, would this occur on the newer batch of the G2 too? I'm sorry if I missed something.

Thanks.

Hi i've a little yellow/orange line on my g2, in the top right corner of the screen.

After one week now it seems another yellow little line appears on the left corner.

I've tried dead pixel repair app, no Help.

I've root with stump, no custom rom or custom recovery.

Now touch seems to randomly ''Auto click'' in the Center while I'm using it.

Can you Help me?
[G2 General] androidino95:
Im having a "problem" too, ive had my g2 for around a year, and ive randomly noticed very very faint black lines vertically all over my screen, mostly noticeable on white, cant see them on the bootup lg white logo, though. When my screen is off/on in direct sunlight, i can see those digitzer lines on the screen, and in the place of those lines, while the screen is on, the black lines are visible. Cant seem to catch them on cam cause theyre very faint, but theyre there so they annoy me. Ive already sent my phone for warranty repair but i got it back with them saying my phone is perfectly fine. Sucks. Phone is stock on kitkat, never rooted.
[G2 General] ScardracS:
The 2 things aren't connected.. These types of lines are already known
[G2 General] androidino95:
What causes them? I havent found anything regarding my type of issue, only the right side of the screen black lines after rooting etc, nothing about grid-like faint black lines (vertically spaced out the same as the digitzer lines accross the entire screen) on my screen when its on.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Turn the screen off and try to look at it at an angle, in bright light. Can you see them? If yes, then it's the digitizer - some units have digitizers like that, some have no such lines.
[G2 General] androidino95:
I said i already know i have the digitizer lines, i see them when the screen is off, but what im also saying is that when the screen is ON i see lines ive described as well - not in bright light, but on normal phone backlight
[G2 General] Formhault:
Are they the same lines...?

My first G2 unit had those lines and they were visible with the screen on (white background) as well...
[G2 General] androidino95:
I believe those lines are digitizer lines as well because theyre spaced out exactly the same and all, i may be wrong tho, thats why i was asking
[G2 General] Formhault:
Yes, those are the digitizer lines.

Not all G2 units have them, apparently. I mean my current G2 doesn't, but the first one I had did have them. Pretty annoying, now that I look back...
[G2 General] androidino95:
Lol @"I just gave you the freaking answer...". Thanks.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Damn you were fast.

And yes, I already DID give you the answer...

[G2 General] MBurns2:
i got black lines with latest Liquidsmooth..d802 model , it was manufactured in october 2014.

Sad day.

p. s: i know that black lines could come back even after warranty. so now i have to:

-sell my g2 after warranty and buy oneplus

-use my g2 until the next problem, in this case i will leave it with black lines. someone use it in this way? do you think that black lines become bigger with time?
[G2 General] Formhault:
Manufactured just 6 months ago? Damn, LG f***ed up real bad!

Well, judging by what I've been reading throughout this topic... the black lines are here to stay. Once you've got them, there's little chance they're gonna go away. Also, I've read a few reports that more black lines appeared (temporarily) as the processor was getting hot (while gaming, for example).

I'm considering the OnePlus One, too. My G2 is covered by warranty until July 2016, but I don't think I can trust them anymore... too bad the warranty for the OPO is a joke :)
[G2 General] MBurns2:
maybe i will buy one plus. they take ten days for reply but then you can send the phone to london (in europe). here in Italy lg warranty isn't that good.. i know that after warranty black lines will certainly come back in my case because i flash a lot of things, so i prefer to change device..

I'm holding out for either the S6 Edge or the G4. I dont know why LG is waiting so long to debut their phone, do they want everyone to go out and buy the s6 or the M9 and then they will debut?
[G2 General] wulsic:
Someone had tryed to replace it but some had the problem fixed and some still had the problem on another display. Also if you might buy a display buy the correct one as if you buy one with digitizer there are 2 variants of digitizers with different cables.

I think that LG wants to fix several issues with their phone first and try to make it good and then release it. They probably wont try to rush it and they have a bad reputation again.

I tried to cure a Touchscreen Problem by disconnecting everything going to the screen assembly from the Motherboard and reconnecting it while the phone was shut down.

I forgot to disconnect the battery like I do before every repair.

When I powered it on I had this issue.

I don´t know why this happened, but I tried the same on a Nexus 4 with an old broken Screen (just to see what happens) and everything worked well.

So if you want to fix something in your G2, always disconnect the battery first. ;)
