I am on CM 11 the program gave me no blue tooth errors.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] haphazardous:
This is an old thread, but in case anyone comes across this while searching for the solution to BLE (bluetooth 4.0 LE) on a Photon Q running CM 10.2 this is what got it working for me. Create a file in the system/etc/permissions directory named android.hardware.bluetooth_le.xml with the following contents:

<permissions>

<feature name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" />

</permissions>

(hopefully if the post ate the greaterthan and lessthan characters you can figure out how to build a properly formatted xml file).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] azskit:
Your advice just helped me to enable BLE on my old rusty Huawei U8950-1!.

It's originally has android 4.0.4 installed, after a couple of days I managed to install CM13. BLE still didn't work, also official specs say that this device only has bluetooth 3.0 version, so I was about to give ip. Created the file, rebooted and now it's working just fine!

Very thank you

EDIT:Used link 3 in the OP and that installed APP that allowed me to install the keyboard. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Busy box just makes the zip universal. So it's not device specific. Just flash it like a regular zip.
[HTC One Max] blasko229:
I googled and only found info that said to hold the power button for 10 seconds to initiate battery pull simulation.

However after getting stuck on the boot logo, that didn't work.

I was playing around and discovered its volume up and power for 10 seconds for the One Max.

Hope this helps someone.
[HTC One Max] japodude:
its a well known fact that all HTC's with embedded battery, holding power and volume up simulates a battery pull.
[HTC One Max] blasko229:
I'm going to assume you didn't intend to be as snobby as just appeared to be. It isn't well known to new HTC users, which is why its posted in the help section.

If you Google the issue or search here, you only find info about using just power button for 10 seconds. But that only works if the OS is fully booted. However, that does not apply when you're stuck at the boot logo as I was.

You must use VOL UP and POWER.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
It should apply at the boot logo. Well at least it does for me. You should also notice the feedback buttons bottom blinking a few times too. After 10-15seconds of holding down. Immediately switch to Power + Volume Down.

When booting custom kernels and roms that have errors. I don't get farther than that. So I know for sure it works on that screen.
[HTC One Max] japodude:
sorry, didnt intend to sound like that guys.

I share a PC with another person who does not need to use ActiveSync. How do I prevent it from auto-starting in their profile? Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanmin:
do a MSCONFIG on your PC to check on the programs that start up on your PC

Look for these files

Wcesmgr.exe

Wcescomm.exe

Disable them. Now restart your PC and you should not have Activesyn on your system tray. If you want to have it start up for your user account, just put these into your personal start up (e.g. your start up folder).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] seugene:
Thanks. Before you replied, I reinstalled ActiveSync, and now it does not start automatically in that person's profile. Looks like it does auto-launch in administrators' profiles, but not in hers, which is fine by me for now.

so after going to stock and using the dialer code ( update firmware) it stayed after a reboot? Dr's suggestions might be handy. I dont have the issue but listing all avenues walked to solve might help.
[G2 General] iamtha1:
Is there not a disclosure in every op.. To flash at ur own risk.. I have ran many of houstonns roms and i highly doubt that a rom can cause this.. Closing houstonns thread is little to much dont u think... 4 or 5 out of 1000s of people who flashed this rom. Come on! Bullsheit
[G2 General] bps119:
I agree, I've seen this issue pop up in multiple rom threads. It's not just PA. It happened to me after a flash of slimKAT a while back. I don't think it's software related. I think it's faulty hardware that's causing the issue. Quite honestly, I think that while backing up and flashing a new rom in recovery, the device gets hot and stresses the hardware.

I think that houstonn is getting crucified unfairly on this.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Yes, no success.

Thanks for mentioning. I've updated the OP.

Compass.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Doing the Touch Firmware Upgrade also fails, unless you mean something else. Thanks.

Compass.
[G2 General] iamtha1:
You need to share that this happened to u on another rom with the monitor that closed his thread
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I don't think closing houstonn's thread is too much. Moderation has tried to contact him to no avail.

As for the 4 or 5 people out of 1000's, those are the ones that have been reported in XDA. If you leave this issue unresolved, you can expect an increase in those numbers.

And so far the damage is permanent.

I mentioned the warranty/liability in my Post 01. If I knew I could damage my hardware permanently like this, I wouldn't have upgraded P.A. and might have changed ROMs (back to stock maybe).

It could indeed be a hardware issue, but that doesn't exempt the fact that P.A. (and other ROMs apparently) is triggering this.

Compass.
[G2 General] butler360:
On the Mahdi thread I saw the ROM author say he avoids commits that change the panel driver code, or something to that effect, and that's why his ROM hasn't had that issue. Have there been reports on his ROM too? Now I'm scared to flash anything. :eek:
[G2 General] iamtha1:
Dude every dev warns u that flashing roms can damage ur phone.. Come on... Stick to stock if u cant handLe damaging u phone
[G2 General] autoprime:
I'd like to remind people that flashing a tot or kdz only replaces 12 partitions out of the total 39 partitions on the device.

Partition list here - http://pastebin.com/S5XtQtW3

I can't confirm anything but it seems no one has backed up all partitions and restored them after running into this issue.

so it's still not 100% that it's permanent damage(although it very well could be).

tot/kdz is made to get you booting.. not fix all the things. I have a zip I made to automate the backup of a lot of these partitions... of course you can always do it manually too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451390

tbh.. I'm not sure what each and every partition does.. or if it can be shared between users. Example: modemst1 and modemst2 is your EFS and is unique to your phone only.

Only common thing I see between everyone with issues is they all used a custom recovery... maybe we shouldn't use those either :)
[G2 General] iamtha1:
Thank u prime!
[G2 General] bps119:
Done
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I assumed the risk of flashing a Custom ROM, as I've mentioned before.

Again, this doesn't exempt the people responsible for the Custom ROM. I'm not seeking damages against them or anything. The only thing I asked for was to remove the P.A. ROMs from when this issue began. And I don't think that's too much to ask for.

Compass.
[G2 General] iamtha1:
Because u had a problem with pa... Everyone else including myself know cannot run it.. I have ran every beta he has released with no problems what so ever! Now a rom that i love may be in jeopardy of being gone.... Thanx for ur help buddy but it wasnt needed!!
[G2 General] Fuse8499:
Flashes on VS980 no problem. You guys had me worried for a minute. Hopefully they fix the issue across all devices. It's a great ROM.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Not only me, if you read the OP. And not only on Paranoid Android either.

I can private message you the Paranoid Android official webpage, where you can download. I cannot post the link here.

You have to contact houstonn to see if it will continue to be developed. I have no influence on the matter, as you suggested the contrary.

I also like Paranoid Android, but this problem cannot persist. It has even spread to other ROMs.

Compass.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
When I won :D my black lines my screen didn't fade the same way yours did.

So far I think you've been lucky, and I recommend to stop pushing it else we could swap devices before you do permanent damage. :laugh:

I think you're right and honestly with g2 tweak box I can barely tell this is stock except it just works lol
[G2 General] simpsonr:
did you go back to stock/unrooted? or does it matter.. before you went back to the store?
[G2 General] fordmanck:
Yes, I was stock unrooted. The guy asked me what happened and I told him. He was an Android guy as well and was pretty miffed as to how it could happen. He looked in their history and said it was not common, but not uncommon either. He gave me a number to call and they had me do a couple of the normal, don't matter tricks that they have you do. They didn't fix it, they sent me a new one.

[G2 General] Titchener17:
Flash the corresponding jdi version of furnace there are different panels made within different devices and thankfully the devs figured this out. You can check first via terminal , but that's prolly what is going on. Turn screen on long delay to give enough time after rebooting for a dl and rock it from recovery.

[G2 General] Norside:
Oh snap! This was pretty depressing reading..think my flashingdays might be over (atleast flash alot less now...:/) Hasn't got this problem yet, but I have a question: Is the theory that flashing and backing up in recovery can stress the hw so that it might damage legit?

Anyways is there anyone who have got this issue after they have flashed stock roms?

This lg g2 has been a pretty messy device so far in terms of everything! (Touchscreen issue first, loki, different baseband versions, kitkat recovery support, different bases, and now this....)

Im a little bit worried now btw.
[G2 General] kevingokki:
i have been running AOSP since the day i got my G2. so far no black lines. but i had experience weird things happening to my display

so far no permanent damage.

Screen changed in warranty, before warranty op I had STOCK 4.4.2 + iroot25 + Xposed + Viper4Android + Xdabbeb 3.1.0.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I don't think so. If it were, there probably would be a lot more people having this problem.

There is a reference to flashing a stock rom in the OP. Check it out.

I couldn't agree more, and imagine the extra stress to developers too.

[G2 General] Hiniakel:
Anyway - I bricked 2 phones with PA Rom auto updater... Both black stripes...
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Hiniakel, correct me if I'm wrong, but that is not a hard brick. Both phones still work albeit the black lines?

If you want, it'll cost around USD$80 for the parts that you would need to replace (if not under warranty). The thread has links to the store that sells them.

Mine is fully functioning. The screen is responsive and there is no sign of further problems so far.

Temporary (not user friendly) workaround for the erratic touch issues

hello all,

I have one of the problems described here. my screen goes haywire and the touch is totally un-responsive. I need to hold down for ~4 seconds to register a tap and another half of the second more its registered as a long press. Swiping is not possible at all. typing on the keyboard is a no-go.

The temporary workaround I have found it to "touch and hold a non-action area on the screen, such as the blank space on the navigation bar" Do this with one hand and you can use the other hand to swipe, type, and tap without much issues. Some funtionalities are hindered, but can be a life saver if you want to type some quick messages.

Also, I hope this gives some kind of a lead to the experts here to proceed on this case.
[G2 General] edwin3210:
developed black lines. i don't think it is permanent though. as it can be fixed. This is my experience.

Downloaded Detech Dead pixel app. My battery has 50% left. I let this app runs whole night till my phone dead. Next morning, charged my phone and power up. The usual 3 vertical black lines have become just two only now.

This is my 1st day having this black lines. I will try again as what I discovered to fix this.

You see, if it's permanent, one of the line wont be recovered like mine did. I'll post updates again.
[G2 General] Domenico F:
damage is permanent, in the previous posts other people have used that app removing some or all the lines but they came back after a while. :/

yellow spot

Hello guys,

I've just updated the sw to 5.0.2 via LG Mobile Support Tool with the official firmware from stock.

After the update, i've noticed an yellow tint in the left top corner of the screen, it wasn't there before, it appeared only after the long awaited update.

It is a permanent one, is it gonna go away ? is there a fix to it ?

Thanks in advance for your time.
[G2 General] eangel:
After update, the next step what installer does is upgrading apps ( roughly 140 apps). The phone gets hot in that period (3-4 minutes) and i think that is the source of yellow spot ( cpu is used at full speed/all cores and warms the screen around top/right portion)
[G2 General] costas101:
weird thing is that during the instalation ( the new software and the upgrading part ), i was holding the phone from the sides, so it was properly ventilated, it did get hot, but not that hot. ( no bumpers or phone cases/covers installed )

I had the phone running much much hotter before on KK, when playing games/movies with full brightness, and nothing happend...

was so happy because of the update, but it all came crushing down fast...

so, it is an solution for this ? or the fist in the wall ?
[G2 General] eangel:
As far as i know, the only solution is screen replacement. Sorry.
[G2 General] undeadking:
So the current VS980 I have been a long time 3 device victim of "right hand black vertical lines" and have recently noticed mustard colored spots towards the top of screen under the black lines... And as far as it being a ROM sensitive issue- beanstalk 4.4, PA 6/24/14 on TWRP 2.7.0.0-2.7.0.1were the two ROMs that it happened with and hadn't had an issue since dr87's custom TWRP versions were released but last night I decided to flash PA 4beta6 and the dreaded greyed out LG splash happened on 5 reboots, 3 of which being when rebooting from recovery TWRP 2.8.6.1...

Most likely no. It looks exactly like all the other damages screens here (and the one I had myself), this is a hardware damage than can unfortunately only be fixed by replacing the screen.

You can try some dead pixel app. As it might fixes some lines and for some people all of them. Trying wouldn't make it worse.

What should i do to prevent that disaster? Now i'm on cloudy G2 v3.3 i'm afraid even to enter recovery....
[G2 General] wulsic:
If your phone's lcd is replaced twice then I really suggest to get another phone or to have it checked out as something inside might also cause hardware damage after long time use. It could be caused by several things. Till now there is still not a clear answer why it happens. The only thing to prevent it is to stay away from old roms and use newer custom roms and use blastagators recovery.

What Roms were you running when the damage occurred? I was thinking that the issue was somewhat resolved with newer Roms because the frequency of reports of black lines have dwindled.

[G2 General] robotzki:
I once hat some black lines on my screen, but managed to fix it. Problem was the lcd connecter getting out of the socket on Mainboard. The USB port, which is right next to the lcd connector, would move the Mainboard and that's how the lcd connector would get loose.

I simply put a couple of layers of small pieces of tape on the backside if the phone cover, so it would hold the connecter in place. Easy fix for me at least...
