I suggest to buy the screen with lcd+digitizer and the frame cause the lcd got the lines and getting the lcd off the old digitizer and glueing the new one to it takes alot of time, you need the equipmet for it and its not worth the risk cause you could break it fast/damage the screen.

Somepeople are also saying that after replacing the screen they still have the lines so I suggest that before you are going to replace the screen to maybe factoryreset. Some people also mentioned something about a filter and some other stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have too much knowledge about this phone/no experience with replacing the screen itself but I can say that glued screens are hard to do and the process is time eating.

Again *not to spread any panic* as there has been isolated reports of the blacklines after gaming and in Stock.... But!.. Be wary if you flash PA. ive been following this thread closely for months and I swear most people report it after flashing PA. some even mentioned their phones weren't hot

Disclaimer : this is an empirical observation
[G2 General] Formhault:
I'd be very curious to see the reasons people have to flash PA (or CM). Those damned ROMs simply suck, so why would anyone even flash them?! :eek:
[G2 General] siggey:
Probably because they want to destroy the phone...

A screen problem occurred on my phone two weeks after purchase. An invisible vertical strip from top to bottom on the screen with touch completely disabled. Sent to warranty. Hope they fix this problem permanently.
[G2 General] phaeacian:
For me, I'm pretty sure it was running the Flex lockscreen under the G2 Xposed module... I noticed the phone was getting warmer and warmer, even though the screen wasn't on. After a few days, I got a line of dead pixels. Twice, actually... the Verizon store said "this is the last time we sent it back for warranty." :rolleyes:
[G2 General] Formhault:
What does that mean? That next time they're gonna give you a refund?
[G2 General] iamterence:
Maybe because those ROMs actually don't suck?
[G2 General] Formhault:
Last time I gave PA a shot was ~3 months ago. Flashed it on my mom's Galaxy Nexus and couldn't live with it myself for more than 15 minutes. Even the Settings menu was f***ed up (meaning it was about as simple as the stock ROM).

CM is rubbish. Why? Because since they went Inc., sh*t went down. CM was way better when they were not commercial, and everybody can agree on that.

On top of that, add the possibility of killing your phone (or, at least the screen) and you get the perfect recipe for don't-do-this-at-home...

Hey guys, this is my first post here therfore I salute the xda wonderful community :) ,

Would you guys recommend buying the g2 at this time, under warranty, knowing of its screen related issues? I'm not going to touch root/custom roms, besides the official updates if there are any, over OTA, therefore will I be prone of getting the black lines or the yellow burn spots "out of the blue" ?

Thank you,

Sclify.
[G2 General] Formhault:
If you can get one for a reasonable price and with warranty, sure, go for it...
[G2 General] Sclify:
Thank you for answering, :)

Well, it has the same price as Nexus 5 or Galaxy S4 , at around 340 euros, but i thought it was a better deal considering it has the biggest battery of them all, which is very important for me. Also it comes with a 2 year warranty.

Sclify.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Compared to the N5 and the S4, at the same price... Go get the freaking G2 already!
[G2 General] MBurns2:
i did the same choice one month ago and i'm really satisfied.

From what i read here the older phones are more prone to the risk (like every new device), my phone was manufactured one month ago and i hope that in the future i will not have any problems ;)
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
It can happen, but judging from the numbers in the survey, the chances are very low considering you'll be staying with Stock.

[G2 General] br0ok1ynb0i:
With 2 year warranty, I definitely choose the G2. The battery of the n5 and s4 do not even compare.
[G2 General] Sclify:
I really thank you for your feedback guys! :)

I will certainly buy it by Wednesday next week so if i ever run into problems be sure that this will be the first place to search for advices.

You guys really made me make up my mind and really decide which device should i go for.

Thank you again,

Sclify.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Totally screen unrelated, but I've been having big problems with GPS.

I tried the paper fix, but it didn't work in my case.

Since you'll have (one year?) warranty, you're covered. My warrany is still valid, but I'm simply not willing to do the whole return to stock and go to the repair store procedure all over again.

[G2 General] iamterence:
I don't know who's/what PA builds you've been using, but I've had incredible experiences with PA with every device they've been built for that I've owned. It was amazing on my Optimus G, and even better on my G2. Well, the latest build from [MENTION=5934584]tsunamical[/MENTION], that is. Houstonn's test build for the LS980 is what damaged my screen. No, I'm not blaming him, but that test build is what made my screen do that funky faded backlight thing then booted to black lines. Since my screen was damaged from the start (Remember I immediately rooted and flashed that test build before I even tried any other stock or AOSP ROM), I don't know if I would've gotten bit by the screen bug sooner or later, if at all.

As far as CM goes, well.... I can't say too much about that. I've never really been a huge fan of CM. I've always been more of a fan of ROMs that are close to vanilla AOSP as possible. I'm just not really big on customizable features where you can change this and then change that and move that over there and hide this and change the color of that and.... Etc. Just give me a theme chooser and advanced reboot and I'm good to go.

I totally feel you on that. I really, REALLY do not feel like TOTing back to stock to send my G2 to LG for repairs. I believe I'm still covered under LG's warranty, and I have Total Equipment Protection on my Sprint plan, but I've just.... Gotten used to dealing with the lines.

This seems possible, someone should really give it a try. I however haven't encountered any issues with my D801 or LS980 both with LGE screens.
[G2 General] leomd333:
The whole adhesive theory is possible. I go on my bike every day and sweat constantly (also give of great load of heat) and i wear jeans with my G2 in my pocket. My original G2 had an issue where the screen adhesive failed and the screen started coming off. LG replaced the screen and gave me the device back, but now again a month later my screen is falling of at the top and bottom (failed adhesive again). My network provider have worked with LG to get me a brand new G2. So i wonder are LG using some crappy adhesive that cant handle heat?
[G2 General] easyguy:
With such a small number of people having the issue, it is hard to conclude that Houstonn rom created the problem. Keep in mind his rom is the most popular of the AOSP crowd. I can understand if 50% or even less 25% of the people whom installed it had the issue. I did a calculation of the numbers of downloads on the latest release and the maybe 5 reported case of this issue. came out to be roughly 0.4% of the people affected.

1021 downloads

Hi guys.. I have a D800, and about 4 months ago, my screen cracked, and I sent it for repair.. It costs me 160$ + taxes

. After a week I got the black screen issue, and took it back.. They say it was the screen and digitizer was bad from where they purchased.. Long story short, it took for them more than 6 weeks to have it fixed, as they try out 2 different screens.. I just got my phone back last week, and Sunday morning after answering a call, screen when black again.. So I took it back.. Last night after flashing carbon 06/02 version it boot in to black screen again.. I quickly force reboot it and restore previous version 05/28 and no issues.. But was scary.. As my second G2 have the screen cracked and it's stock in recovery with no use of screen.. It's really scary as now I don't know if it is a phone problems or rom.. Very disappointed with this phone as I thought it was a great device

I just checked my screen panel and it shows it has been replaced with a JDI panel.. Can someone else confirm D800 original panel if it is a JDI.. Maybe there will be the problem.. Never have issues with this phone till screen was replaced nor my other d800 phone.. But now screen is cracked and useless.. Thanks in advance
[G2 General] gypsy214:
I got some pictures from Ifixit.com. I'm running an AOSP ROM so couldn't find a way to draw on the picture. But if you see these pictures on the gold square between the two LCD connectors (that gold square comes with the LCS and is not a connector it just glue to the motherboard on the phone) it have a very small amount of adhesive and its very dedicated. The way I got it to stay after I encounter my problem was to put a electrical tape onto of it trying to get it to glue in and not making a short with something else. I really hope any of you that have the issue do this on the phone and see if it helps. But be very careful and try not to mess with the microphone as it's very dedicated.

801 with a fresh install with latest gapps went to unlock phone to change ROM after reading about damaged screen. Screen locked up but could here me taking screen captures then hard reset and Joy black lines down the right hand side. Oh well plan on upgrading to a g3 anyways.

OK so my question/statement is a little different .. I have a lgd panel ls980 and I have tested pa, slim, and carbon..and upon booting on all three at various times I have gotten the lg screen that fades to gray and green..and then forced reboot and then everything would be fine..since all this stuff came up I have went back to a stock based ROM superG2 to be specific and I haven't had one weird reboot since...I wonder if that means I didn't completely damage it...just seems odd
[G2 General] chadmledford:
so for the lines on the right side of the screen have there been any fixes besides replacing the digitizer. I searched the thread couldn't really find any fixes, which may be because there are none ?

[G2 General] appileh:
What a **** manufacturer.. I thought they will fix all crap things (we life in 2014), but LG is the same LG. I got an email from them saying that the stripes are normal according to their specifications(what a **** crap argument with 2 year guarantee) . I will wait 6 months and then switch to Motorola, my loyalty for LG is 0%. For everyone all i can say if you want service and pleasure with your phone pick a manufacturer that will look seriously to your problem.

[MENTION=6102673]chadmledford[/MENTION] do you have photos mate?
[G2 General] Formhault:
Excuse me? What stripes are we talking about?

Regardless, whatever it is on your screen now, that is not seen on a brand new G2 unit (taken out of the box or displayed in a store shelf), is NOT normal. If your G2 has black lines / stripes on the display, it is NOT normal.

This is just stupid. Tell them to count the pixels. One vertical black line = 1920 pixels. 1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels. If you have one vertical black line, you have 2071680 pixels, not 2073600, so the phone does not meet the spcifications written on the box! :)
[G2 General] MBurns2:
it seems that screen lines damage are less frequent with the new 5.0 builds, it is only an impression?
[G2 General] wulsic:
Maybe they are using now some updated sourcecode instead of the old one? I don't know, I only know that the weird colored LG logo before you get the stripes can also be caused by software. Also hardware maybe but I gotta see that later,

Butr I didn't heard/read anyone with the stripes issue on the 5.0 builds
[G2 General] ximmox:
Cross-post from the CM12 thread, see it as a warning/advice: ;)

You definitely can NOT use the Kitkat BOOTLOADER on any of those CM12 Roms around. I was lazy, didn't read enough, flashed the KK Bootloader because people with stock roms spoke of improved performance and responsiveness. Result: Bootloop, white flashing screen, the famous burned in black lines on the right side of the screen, luckily RMA'd within 5 days.

Do NOT try to update the Bootloader to the KK-version until any known dev working on/with CM12 explicitly tells you to.
[G2 General] Formhault:
5.0 builds just started landing a few weeks ago. Not many reports of people having screen issues have emerged in the past couple months or so.

So... your logic is broken.
[G2 General] MBurns2:
yeah i know my friend.

The fact is that on kk i saw more issues about screen damage than on LP, i know that we must consider that LP is at the beginning and tons of people are on kk, but the start seems promising (i'm convinced the screen issue is an hardware fault but i think that something related rom can increase the risk and we saw that on certain rom the issue was more present..).
[G2 General] Formhault:
I'm convinced the black lines / screen flicker / device evaporating is due to a hardware fault, either triggering itself, either being triggered by software (broken drivers etc.).

Or... Jesus, man. Jesus!
[G2 General] wulsic:
Well that's not so good, I think that we must find the changes in the bootloader and in the drivers maybe one time:confused: I hope I won't get the lines when I will receive my G2.

It could of course also be a Hardware issue since the G2 is a pretty thin phone and the screen is close located to the Screen. Like Dr87 also said before about the TAB Failure.
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
I m using cm12 by gabmus on KitKat bootloader and no issues for me.
[G2 General] ximmox:
Well, I definitely won't try it again, but are you sure you are on the KK bootloader?

Well im on my sixth lg g2 from verizon. These phones suck monkeyass. I love them so much but in reality they are horrible devices for a heavy user like me.

ANYWAYS... i skimmed the thread and didnt see anything regarding my problem.

I recieved my new g2 yesterday, i was so excited for another mint device. I turn the device on and immediatly notice a white type of fade in the bottom left corner.

Its only noticeable on black screens, and gets worse when i increase screen brightness. Its hard to explain. You know when you press the screen to hard and white marks appear? Its like that but permenant in the left corner. Protectcell ( my phone insurance) wants to place a 300$ hold on my card and have me send my device to them to verify it dont have water damage and replace it...
[G2 General] Formhault:
My device has a yellowish hue to the display, to the top of it. If I try to read something in landscape, it's black on yellow, black on whiter yellow, black on white. Hope you get the point.

But those marks... The phone was probably sit on in the storage or something.
[G2 General] fundoozzz:
My device has the same thing too but doesn't bothers me much as it is visible only in black at high brightness.. and more visible at night.

Got my replacement today..... 7th lg g2. of course it wouldnt be a true lg g2 without a problem right out the box -.-

TWRP and CWM are two different things.

The cause for the black lines is hardware/software or a combination of the two. No one really knows.

The effect is purely hardware. Sorry...

Hi.

I flashed the last release of that but when I flashed with Philz its good but the problem began when I flashed it with TWRP.

in beginning its more than 30 line but after flashing some tot rom and cyanogen 11 its decrease to 20 bec of that I think its a software problem.

and for those said the LG is socks its our mistaken not them G2 & G3 are the best!

I've been flashing AOSP ROMs and kernels since September of 2014. No screen issues here...

But you know what? My device has never been on >80 Celsius degrees. Well, maybe one time, for less than 1 minute.

So I still think it's an overheating problem. Even a small jolt of higher-than-ok power may increase the inner temperature enough to do damage to this already shi*ty screen. Even for a second... Depends on how sturdy the display link is. Or Jesus... It could be Jesus.

If you used an app that cycles all sub-pixels (red, green, blue etc.)... It is clearly due to a faulty bootloader. Or perhaps the front door was not properly closed?
