I've got this issue while flashing CarbonRom and now the lines are everywhere, in recovery mode, in download mode ( not surprised as its hardware damage ), and I'm screwed since I cant seem to be able to flash Kdz files anymore, i've used all three methods. Never ever ever ever buying an LG phone again.
[G2 General] qyrus:
Except that the lines don't reappear if you replace the screen. Personally I believe it's a combination of subpar screens and rom/kernels settings.
[G2 General] kbkang:
forgot about replacing display. about rom/kernel settings, seeing as stock rom aswell have this problem, would think subpar screen is the only applicable culprit for every case ever happened. damn you lg..... still the best phone ever...
[G2 General] wulsic:
New Theory:

Maybe the phone came on wet and humid places that the phone maybe also get oxide by the cable/connector from the display inside the phone since its not waterproof.

I am going to buy the G2 for sure now and if the problem occurs to me then i will just order a new display for 30-40 euro and replace it myself but when i do that i will also Try to look closely what could have caused it if still nobody found the problem after months. Maybe we should also ask a guy who replaces screens on the g2 or repairs the G2 or they know what could caused the black lines. Since they probably have replaced alot of screens or fixed G2's so they may also have more experience with the device itself:D
[G2 General] kbkang:
watch out, that seems like the price for the digitizer only, wich is the front glass. it should not be enough to repair a black lined display, for that you should need the entire lcd panel, wich costs around 150 to 200€
[G2 General] wulsic:
Nah its the price of the display. I also previously Ordered the display for my old S2 from hongkong and it also worked perfectly never had problems with quality or something like that. If you maybe Want to replace it also yourself use these search names on ebay.com and check the worldwide item location.

lg g2 display

Lg g2 LCd display

lg D802 Display

It costs around 40 dollars with free shipping:laugh: Digitizer costs around 20-25 dollars:cowboy: So i will buy one without warranty and i will just buy one without warranty i guess and replace if neccesary the screen myself after some time cause one black line i can live with ftw LG stays awesome. I also read that sometimes people who are replacing needed to try more displays until they got the Vertical lines away so i am still thinking about the Cable/connector which connects the display to the board or there is something wrong with on the board:rolleyes:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...at=43304&Type=Display%3A%20LCD%20Screen&rt=nc
[G2 General] Formhault:
Isn't the digitizer and front glass panel glued to the LCD? :eek:
[G2 General] kbkang:
not sure, but i think it was a specialty of our beloved N7000. the thing was goddamn expensive to repair and i actually need to replace one Note's screen but don't want to shell out 150€ for it...

The links for g2's screen are legit, just took a look and the prices are very nice, gives hope ;)

what did you do with the note Formhault?
[G2 General] wulsic:
Oh **** that kind of phone. I just saw an dissasembly of the screen replacement and yh you're right i guess im not sure but i think. I think i will just try to find one with warranty or just to find one which is 60 euro less then with warranty ;p Cause i have found one from 86 dollars with frame,lcd,Digitizer so then you only need to connect the things but im not sure withthe battery how to do that then cause it was also glued i thought. Ehh......... Well i will try to see or i can get one with warranty. I can buy one without warranty for around 220 euro and one with 1 year warranty for 270 i thought but yh... I need to really think now about it cause i dont want to get screwed with black lines so i need to know fast what causes the black lines :crying:

EDIT: im sorry if this stands in the OP or someone else but i didnt have founded it yet really.

If the JDI Panel flashes a rom with the Kernel for LGD Then they get white lines.

What now if the LGD flashes a rom with the JDI Panel drivers? what happens then?

Im now investigating again more on the Stripe issue
[G2 General] Formhault:
I sold it, of course. Read my signature :p
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Three methods? Did you also try flashing a TOT?

Compass.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Well... in my case, if the black lines occur... I'll probably live with them for a while, then repair the screen and sell the phone. Hope that never happens, as I love this phone & want to keep on loving it for a while :).

Oh and f*** your yh's. yh yh yh yh yh :rolleyes: :silly:

Get in the line :). Chances are we'll never know.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

I don't know for sure if the LCD is soldered onto the digitizer + glass. I know a display assembly (LCD + digitizer + glass, because they're 3-in-1, you know) for a phone like the Galaxy S4 is pretty expensive (~$200), so seeing LCD displays for the G2 at around $120... I dunno, maybe they're just less expensive than AMOLEDs.

I can't be arsed. Can you check if the parts are really soldered together? I must play Unreal Tournament :) :silly:
[G2 General] wulsic:
I wonder again cause on the boxes there is said like (1.0) (1.1) They say that it is hardware Revision but maybe it is i mean Mez..... i saw on a picture of a box and another picture from the Hardware revision thread had the same Mez i thought. The last and beginning numbers i could see through the blur was the same as i saw on a pic from a guy who is selling his G2.

And like someone said that you can see the revision in the settings or what and that it says 1.0 no matter what maybe they didnt changed it or it means something else. Did someone already decompiled the apk from the settings menu where u can see the revision number to see where the code points to and or its just made to be number 1.0:confused:

Could it be also that people with black lines maybe have flashed the wrong rom which was meant for another G2 version or maybe it is caused by roms which support more phones then one. There is almost always trouble if there are more versions which you need to support
[G2 General] Formhault:
I went in the hidden menu (3845#*802#) to check what HW Rev I had. Before rooting with AutoRec, I had Rev1.0. After, it was Rev1.1 :). Viva la kernel-now-changes-hardware...

Now, as I'm on CloudyG3, under "HW Version" I see "Should be implemented", so... :silly:

It's happened to people who were entirely stock. And those that flashed LG custom ROMs (which I'm pretty sure were okay - not implying AOSP ones aren't).
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
I think the only away to truly know when it was manufactured is to use that link posted quite a few pages back where you have to add your imei to it.
[G2 General] ANTLAY:
Guess I just fell victim... Literally set down a perfect phone,got a drink come back picked up aand turned screen on to black lines that stay in all modes recovery and all) what's the best way to go back to unrooted for a vs980 running on 24a
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=2418400]Skizzy034[/MENTION] can but i will see later when i will buy it.

Formhault I cant really find it but i am wondering or stock 4.4.2 also have thermal throttling On as default so thatthe stock will automatically adjust the cpu speed to the phone's temperature like its on almost every manafacture phone Cause i have read that stock jellybean g2 got thermal throttling automatic off Idk why it isnt even safe when its off then it could get heat damage. Formhault but again ftw i am going to get the G2 :D

[MENTION=3717389]ANTLAY[/MENTION] did you noticed something different like its hot or something else? Can you think of something that could have caused it?
[G2 General] ANTLAY:
Nothing dude, literally went from just fine when I turned off the screen to lines when I turned it on...not hot or nothing ...phone was complete at rest
[G2 General] Formhault:
Sorry to hear that... Hope you got warranty.

Can you please check when was your phone manufactured (see this)? I'd like to know (I don't think I'm alone), please!

Returning to stock : see this?

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

There goes the TAB failure due to heat theory :)
[G2 General] ANTLAY:
Sorry, just got done going through vzw tech support after unrooting. They said I had warranty and sending me a new phone but I'm not sure how I bought this phone used and it says in menus that the warranty ran out 07/01/2014 but hey they said it said on they're end it was under warranty soooo. ..we will see
[G2 General] jal3223:
What rom were you running by the way? Also, you can check the manufacturing date by going to:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/svc/popup/model_check.jsp?esn=(enter your IMEI here without the parentheses)

<esndate>= your date of manufacturing.
[G2 General] jcbjoe:
Question.. Since this is happening on 4.4.x roms if I get my g2 and it has Kitkat can I just autorec back down to a jellybean aosp rom.. If I do this will I be affected?
[G2 General] Formhault:
As previously mentioned, please go here. In the URL bar, after the = sign, input your IMEI then press enter. Then tell us what the <esndate> and <esnoutgodate> are... PLEASE!

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

AutoRec just downgrades the bootloader to 4.3 so it can be Loki'fied. That way, you can flash custom recoveries and custom ROMs.
[G2 General] jcbjoe:
Hello I'm subscribed to a lot of G2 threads and I rarely hear about loki or lokified.. Is there a thread on loki or lokified so I can read up on it

Thanks
[G2 General] Formhault:
You don't hear about it because it's a one-time thing. You do it first, then are good to go (not something you need to do every day or so, you know). To my recollection, loki/lokified = the bootloader's ability to allow custom recoveries, ROMs and such to be flashed. I really don't know :eek:
[G2 General] jcbjoe:
Thanks.. I will read up on it.. Are you rooted with stock? Or are you running a custom rom.. If so do you have the screen issue I been readig about?
[G2 General] smittyjs:
If I may ask where did you check to see when your warranty ran out?
[G2 General] Formhault:
No issues so far. But I'm expecting some lines to appear soon... and if they don't, I'll be the happiest guy on Earth.

If they do... well, I'm screwed, as I won't have the money to replace the screen and I won't be able to live with the lines without doing this.

I really shouldn't have bought this phone :( now this black lines thing haunts me day & night.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Lol i annoyed a bit the webcare service with spam xd and got this back as response from LG webcare:

I have translated a bit since i talked to them in dutch but here it is:

We are closed on weekends. We do not know the problem, but we will go figure it out.

I dont believe i will get a response from them back but spamming maybe helps lol:silly: [MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION] i still need to buy the g2 or do you know another phone for me to buy lol or i need to go with the Less feature phone Nexus5 for a higher price ;p I also get haunted by this subject since im scared i will also get the black lines if i will buy this phone and then i probably need to pay half of the price of the phone to get it repaired ;p I hope to get a response back from LG since i wanted to buy the g2 and keep it for 1-2 years
[G2 General] Formhault:
F*** Customer Support. Haven't you learned that they suck? Customer Support sucks EVERY F***ING TIME, until you get to talk to the lead of Technical Division (never).

If you want to buy the G2, make sure you get one with warranty. Otherwise, don't try your luck. And the Nexus 5 sucks. Try getting the Galaxy S5 (I know it's Samsung, but they got [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION], so it's alright).
[G2 General] wulsic:
Yh i know that they suck but who knows if they get irritated they might do it.

I am still trying to find one for warranty which isnt too expensive and my second choice would be then the Nexus 5 but i dont really like that Aosp feeling so then i would just port the G2 rom to the N5 like i did on the N4.

And i will not get the S5 too expensive the price is around 400-500 euro and i dont want to waste more then 200-300 and you also pay for the fingerprint scanner thing which doesnt even work good ;p so i'll stick to G2 or N5

[G2 General] jal3223:
That's bad news as it is a stock based rom (and my favorite).

Did you enter

Then put your imei without spaces or punctuation after the equals sign?
[G2 General] ANTLAY:

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Yea....says same thing. .across the very top something about invalid xml then lower it says check_model yada yada then status failed
[G2 General] jal3223:
Thanks for trying man.

So I'm wondering since this is obviously a manufacturing defect, how much LG is going to charge to fix the problem outside of the year warrantee? I can understand if the screen is cracked or broken but come on it's obviously not due to mishandling. LG needs to take responsibility here.
[G2 General] ANTLAY:
Finally went through but it says problems with server, server is not seamless call so and so..after I hit tranlatel it at least
[G2 General] Formhault:
What the hell... :eek:

I input my IMEI after the = sign and it works fine. :confused:

Okay. Nevermind that. When did you buy the phone?
[G2 General] ANTLAY:
January. ..just curious but why is it that you wanna know
[G2 General] Formhault:
Indeed. LG should step up and admit they f***ed up.

Same happened with the Samsung Galaxy S4 - they f***ed up with a specific batch of batteries. If you had one such battery and went to the service (with warranty, of course), they'd replace it. If you didn't have warranty, they wouldn't - even though it was a defect they acknowledged and took guilt for.

Big corporations will never care about the individuals. They will only care when the "individual" becomes a very large group of individual or another big company. :)

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Because... that helps with my mental sanity. Knowing my phone was produced in April + knowing that your phone was produced pre-January raises my hopes that my screen will be fine.
[G2 General] ANTLAY:
Lol ahh ok, well it was definitely made pre January. .I bought it used in January so it was almost definitely one of the first batches lol. And I agree, I've been going a little ape **** thinking what if it happens again... hopefully Its fixed

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Oh yea. No problem. And yea LG **** the bed real good on that, and you'd think they'd cover any cost involved in fixing all affected phones. But I'd doubt that
[G2 General] wulsic:
Who knows miracles will happend and If alot of customers will complain then they are forced to do something about it or inform us I hope you formhault will not get the display issue xd I also saw your previous device list lol you had many phones and they all had almost all had display issues I hope you are lucky now and that you will not get the black lines issue:) Still searching for a G2 with warranty for around 200-250 :silly:

I also am finding that big company's like LG should admit it I know they know it but they just dont want to say it i guess.

And antlay i hope you will get your display fixed soon,

And jal3223 they will probably also dont do it too expensive and some people dont have that issue so then they dont care. So i think that they are waiting until warranty goes over and then its not their problem anymore and you need to get someone else to fix your phone for probably the half of the price of the phone.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Less than a hundred thousand people will complain to LG about the G2 display issue, so miracles won't happen :).

And yeah, I too hope this will be the lucky shot for me. I really want to keep on loving this LG G2... :crying:

200-250 EUR... that's a bit low, I guess. I mean I paid ~350 EUR for my G2 :eek: and if I would've waited one more week, I could have bought one for about 20 EUR less and with warranty. :eek:

And guess what, one week after I buy the G2, Orange RO gets a promo for the LG G3 : ~510 EUR and you also get a LG Tablet. :headbang:

Why does it always have to be like this? You buy X device and after a short time, you realise you should have waited a bit longer. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU

[G2 General] wulsic:
Well i have found one from 260 euro with warranty but its out of stock :rolleyes:

And after the Release of the G3 the price also Got down thats why i also waited and i am finding now also LG G2's all around 200-250 euro but without warranty :crying: That sucks that you could get more for less with 1 week, Just hope your display won't get LG'ed how we should call it till we get a valid reason. I know how you feel i also had the same thing like you xd But The LG tablet+LG G3 for 510 euro is really low i think they would gaveyou the G pad right then you could also have sold that and even get the G3 cheaper then the G2 xd Well dude In your Case Lg should be LS Life sucks.

[MENTION=2418400]Skizzy034[/MENTION] I guess October of 2013 cause the go out date would probably not be 4 months after its made.
[G2 General] Formhault:
I guess October. The phone got out in August, so it can't be May, lol.
[G2 General] jal3223:
I'm thinking it means it was produced on 10/01/2013 and it was shipped out of the factory on 10/05/2013. I may be wrong though.
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
Yea makes sense for October lol. I didn't think before I posted haha. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't produce it in January and then wait until May to release it. Also, like formhault said, it wasn't released until August anyways.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Nope :silly:

or help you? Do you hate me? Hit the THANKS button! Cant resist it but what now if LG would have made something to cause theblack lines probably not but idk just random ideas coming up.

What now if The black lines is some feature from LG to troll people just like the MMC ERASE from samsung

Its probably not like that since LG wouldnt do something like that i think :?

Enabled ROM and Kernel thermal controls! and make them work together!

This reduce to 0 chance to burn the screen! and controls for heat now active all the time!

Lol we still don't know the cause of theVertical black lines so when i have found an g2 ;p then i will just try to flash the kernel and those things fast and i will stay away for sometime from custom roms like paranoid android and cyanogenmod:svetius:

You can also do damage in Linux with X.org:

X.org nowadays automatically generates /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but you can manually set the modeline and hence do damage. I know Android doesn't follow the same route, but I thought it might help anyway since it kind of matches dr87's opinion.

This is an old kernel, not even being used anymore
[G2 General] echoes14:
I flashed AICP for the VS9980 late last night (there were no response to the thread, so not long after it was posted). It was fine on first boot, but when I rebooted, I noticed that the LG logo was very dim and pixelated. The screen then turned black, and I had to hold the power button to reboot. Got to the LG screen again, and the screen began to turn white. I immediately did the power+volume down to boot into factory reset. Wiped, and flashed Mahdi. Luckily, I had no screen damage....but the problem seems to be in AICP, as well. I have the lgd/lgit panel. I've been running stock-based (XDABBEB) or Mahdi since 24A leaked, and this is the first time something like this has happened.
[G2 General] dr87:
Just a few things I have researched in the past on these breakouts (even back to 4.2)

Can happen on stock - but rare. I don't doubt there are some panel issues in these phones but if we only blame manufacturing we will see a lot more ruined screens in custom kernels

I can say the following for sure as I have seen specific outbreaks caused by the following. I also had a bad experience myself but didn't have permanent damage due to it.

KGSL commits can cause this

MDSS commits can cause this

In my own experience the above is confirmed, anything else would be guessing,

Playing with these commits make the issue much more likely, especially if they aren't properly merged

I've seen this happen on a stock kernel and I do believe there are some issues with screens naturally but its also apparent that certain kernel changes cause the issue to happen much more frequently to users who wouldn't have had this issue otherwise. I'm pretty sure the best approach right now is to not pull in mdss or kgsl commits into the kernel. I personally almost ruined my screen twice with 2 different KGSL commits.
