I wouldn't say impossible (I don't know any better) but unlikely. If it can somehow be made less apparent it'll help, because people who might be denied repair under warranty like myself (rooted comes to mind) and those outside warranty won't have many options.

I'm walking through this right now and plan to take the phone in this afternoon.
[G2 General] dr87:
Low to none, due to the location of the lines

The lines are not random. The placement of the lines, lines up with the LCD connecter and actually follows the pattern of the pins down the screen. It probably killed the pixels where the power comes into the screen and goes straight down.
[G2 General] fordmanck:
I'm back to unrooted stock 12b. I just don't agree with taking a phone in that I knowingly caused the issue to. Stupid ethics.....
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I'm not on Verizon so I can't vouch for that method. Without going further off topic, I plan on either flashing a TOT/KDZ (TOT is preferable it seems; don't ask me why, lol) before I send mine in for repair.

[G2 General] Jank4AU:
You can still take it in. Just pay to have it fixed. :P

Edit: ethics are a good thing
[G2 General] simpsonr:
Let's not get into this kind of argument. We are all aware of our options and choices. Bringing your point of view in this way only serves you too feel good about yourself. Doesn't do any more or any less.

Ummmmm. I wasn't knocking you at all, people do it everyday. If you felt bad, my apologies. It wasn't aimed at you, just a generalization.

And I didn't say I wasn't going to do it, I just feel bad about it.

My screen survived twice from damage so far, i only get stuck on lg logo then the logo faded with pixelated black and white untill it died

Then when i turned it on it booted fine. I dont know what happened, but it happened twice when i flashed pa beta 5 and 7 (lately i only flash pa)

But i read somewhere that ota update (lg rom) could damage the screen also, so i think its on lg's side to blame
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
True. I still haven't taken mine for repair, and I don't feel comfortable doing it either. *sigh*

And I forgot to mention. If I still plan on flashing custom ROMs/recovery/etc, and supposing my screen can't get any worse, why repair now? :D

[G2 General] borjaox:
I have got two black permanent lines and I have notice that if I apply pressure to the LG logo below the screen (just where the clip connecting the LCD to the board is) I can make more black lines appear. One of this lines sticks (now I have three permanent lines) but others appears only while applying pressure and will disappear afterwards. This leads me to think that the screen is not really damaged but instead the LCD connector itself is loose or damaged.

My question is: has someone with back lines and the right tools tried to reattach the LCD connector clip?
[G2 General] wulsic:
I'm sorry that it happend too you but one of my previous posted about pressing below the black lines could say more about the situation if someone has tryed it so thankyou

xd my vibration Theory might also be right.

Borjaox you're right if applying pressure and then lines would dissapear and appear then the screen is definetly not defect but the connector is loose i guess.

Is there someone who also reads this thread who is like repairing phones or had replaced the display by himself or want to do that in the future, Can he or she confirm thats its with the LCD connector clip cause not everyone wants or can open his phone:good:

It may also explains why people who replaces LCD screens on the G2 sometimes need 4-5 times to get rid of the Lines on the LCD.
[G2 General] hotnikkelz:
i can confirm. I've tried to get my screen changed a c few times, and the problem persists. I have waste a lotta money on LCD replacements. I'm unhappy. Is there any fix to this? I have white vertical lines
[G2 General] Formhault:
The white vertical lines = NOT permanent black lines... White lines are software related...
[G2 General] hotnikkelz:
how do i fix? I have a d803 running an outdated Madhi AOSP rom. LG LCD panel.
[G2 General] wulsic:
See the thread for lgd and jdi displays also since its maybe easy.

Try to flash another rom and or kernel and see if the problem then still exists. The problem also might be outdated mahdi aosp rom try to update it.

Its about the display drivers and i guess you have an jdi display so flash another kernel. If these things dont work try to flash maybe a stock rom with dorimanx kernel since his kernel got auto panel detection from dr87 correct me if i am wrong.

[MENTION=1646867]hotnikkelz[/MENTION] i suggest to google next time your problem since it would save you alot of money and time ?
[G2 General] MaceBewley:
VS980, flashed Carbon nightly, stock TWRP, 8-10 black lines.... Just one flash in that session, no backup phone was cool.

I have extended warranty...
[G2 General] wulsic:
You're lucky you got extended warranty. Can you also press a bit on the lines below like borjaox said and see if the lines which were or they dissapear just to be sure or its really the connector and if so why would this happen on twrp and even if the phone is cool? Thats what i wonder.

The linesmay also stick to the display but you are having warranty anyway to let them check the problem. If you are going to an lg service center could you ask what wasthe problem i guess they would say an display issue or an defective lcd
[G2 General] DSinOR:
Thanks for this!
[G2 General] butler360:
The newest Mahdi auto-detects the panel, so updating to that should fix it.
[G2 General] hotnikkelz:
Nah, i have an LGD display. Thanks for the help :) doing a google search didn't really yield any appropriate results for me.

[G2 General] jal3223:
Where have you read that some people's problem persists after replacing the digitizer?
[G2 General] Skizzy034:
If you have white lines then you absolutely have a jdi display.
[G2 General] wulsic:
No not after replacing the digitizer or yh maybe the digitizer and screen. I read on different websites that people who repair the phone sometimes need 4-5 attempts to get rid of the Black lines so they are using 4-5 displays so I wonder or it is really the displays or maybe that they didn't connected it good.

Does someone knows what happens when you flash a kernel with JDI display drivers on a LGD display?:rolleyes:
[G2 General] borjaox:
Just to be clear: I have got LGD display and black lines. If I apply pressure in the area just under the screen, in the centre of the phone, where the LG logo is, I can make additional lines to temporarily appear. Some of this additional lines will last, other will disappear after a while.
[G2 General] jl10101:
I think this unfortunately points almost indefinitely to a hardware problem with either the digitizer being so close to the screen or the connection of the screen to the board. Tis a sad day indeed.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Interessting you mention if you press it in the centre where the LG logo is.

[G2 General] chillstep1998:
Hello friends, can I join your Black-Line Club? :D

I was listening to music and browsing on g+ while charging, and suddenly the screen goes nuts. It looked like it shattered, with all that wrong colors and patterns and lines, although it wasn't. The phone was perfectly cool, not burning hot. I hard-rebooted and voila, black lines. To be exact, there are 3 on the right side of the screen. One is the very last column of pixels, the other two are spaced about 10px apart.

I already contacted LG if they could replace my screen, but that was like two minutes ago, so no response yet.

But I'm Optimistic. Just gonna unroot and send it in. Maybe I even get a replacement G2 with JDI, which seems to not have these issues.

tl;dr: Got black lines while charging. Will see if LG repairs.

!!!!!!!EDIT: Got one line to disappear with a 'dead pixel repair' app.
[G2 General] wulsic:
lol if the lines disappear with that app then they are stuck i believe but can you try to hold the app on for longer :D maybe it really works.

Also cool phone that aint good then if something like that happens with what you mentioned colors and patterns and lines, Btw on which rom and kernel are you and when do you have purchased your phone? and does it says on your box 1.0/1.1 or 1.2? Just some questions:silly:
[G2 General] chillstep1998:
I am currently on Mahdi 7-9 with Render Kernel R3, Modem is Stock 4.4. I purchased the phone a few weeks after it was listed on Amazon. I'm 100% sure it's a LGD. The box says 1.0

Will try longer with that APP tomorrow.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Ahh thanks for saying it and dont forget to report also tomorrow afterusing that app again :D yh i also wanted to know about the box cause i wonder or the 1.0 1.1 numbers are just revisions what might fixes things like the display.
[G2 General] chillstep1998:
Sweet Jesus dem feels are killing me!!! Let that app run for 5 minutes and the second line is gone. I'm so happy right now! ?????

Oh, I never thought that means the hardware revision!

Looks like mine is 1.1. If I get the black lines, too... then LG did nothing in between the revisions and the hardware revision is just a number :)

[MENTION=4005436]Compass Linux[/MENTION]

Do you know, by chance... what hardware revisions did those 60+ people that filled in the survey have (1.0 or 1.1)?

I really wish you had it on film, lol. This would make a great YouTube material. I've heard of dead / stuck pixels, but dead / stuck rows of pixels... no... and not even individual pixels, post-2012... :eek:

Glad that fixed it for you. What panel does your phone have again (LGD or JDI)?

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

~$50 and with free shipping to Romania? Woah, that's cheap. The cheapest LCD part I could find around here was $120~130. Hope that, in the event that I do get the lines (again, God forbid!), that deals turns out to be for real.

I tried pressing on the area that surrounds the LG logo on the front panel... nothing happened. And I doubt anything could happen, as I didn't feel the panel would creak or give any hints that something is being affected physically.

tl;dr : I think that area is rock solid, pretty much like the entire phone, actually... :eek:
[G2 General] jl10101:
Maybe this isn't really permanent? Maybe all the flashing or something causes issues with the display drivers and pixels get stuck and we just simply need to run a dead pixel app? Just a hunch from the above few posts.

I missed that... and I even double checked, lol. Silly me :D.

I even have found the LCD+Digitizer for 60 Euro so that's even better all together:laugh:

[MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION] I thought that the 1.0 1.1 and like that means hw revisions on the box cause on the systems its all 1.0 I guess but nobody confirmed the 1.1 1.2 etc are not HW revisions but I think so. Maybe the Hardware revision is said in the S/N just like on nexus 5 the new revisions starts with 311K

Edit: [MENTION=2461180]forma[/MENTION]hault xd I also was thinking about it but my Ubuntu said it was png xd well doesn't matter so people who download it need to put png or jpg behind it :D I don't know which now xd

So... the LCD is separated from the digitizer and glass.

When I went under the hidden menu to see what HW Rev my phone has, before I did the AutoRec thing I had 1.0, afterwards, I had 1.1. Now, on CloudyG3 ROM, that screen makes the phone hang and the HW Rev says "Must be implemented", lol. So yeah, the HW Rev in the software means nothing... I guess LG didn't implement it right.

There seems to be a 1.2 HW Rev, as well. Pretty scarce, though (at least according to these guys). I'm hoping they fixed the LCD thing with 1.1 already...

But some digitizers are unbranded :/ well or you can pay 5$ extra for an LG logo lol.If I would need to replace the display if I would have the phone then I would order one which has Digitizer+LCD+Frame so you don't have too much work since the parts are already glued to each other:D

I am really getting irritated that the XDA webpage Is so many times unavailable today and other days... They already have so many ads for god sake.

I had the lines back in February and had the 1.0 hardware revision. My replacement device didn't come in a new box so I don't know which version I have now. Hope I don't have the issue again though...or, at least it comes back before November when my warranty ends. Lol

Yup but for a couple dollars more you can get the lcd+digitizer+glass+frame :D

Since the cheap g2 with warranty is like 100-150 km away so no i will justbuy one without store warranty and if i get the problem then i will just buy the part and open the phone myself cause i also got the tools already for it and then i can also seewhy there are stripes. Before i woke up i dreamt i had the f2 in my hands :o

[MENTION=4433793]mdeevee[/MENTION] so you tryed the app and it didnt worked? No lines away?

Maybe there are more black line cases or he was just lucky.

But still most time there are no full lines of death pixels it then just gotta be stuck pixels or hardware problems on the display side of the cable.
[G2 General] :
How long have we had this app that "repairs" the black lines, and what exactly does the app do? Like down in detail of the steps it does internally? I know it supposed to fix the black lines but curious.
[G2 General] Williek113:
Hey so I've seen this posted a couple times, but here's another. I had an LGD display on my LS980 and got black lines. They're not 100% exactly what many of yours seem to be like, but very very similar. Anyway, after a couple weeks, I started playing around with the phone, seeing how far it could bend(comparing it to the G Flex, I was getting a replacement soon anyway). If you bend the phone slightly, pushing back on the earpiece and the LG logo, the lines begin to disappear after a couple days. By the time I got my replacement, the lines were almost completely gone, and I was legitimately worried they wouldn't give me a replacement because it didn't look damaged (although it had been cursed with black lines already). Again, im pretty sure this has already been shared, but here it is again. Lets not snap our phones though.

Also: To further identify the black lines issue I had, another problem I had was that the boot time was absolutely horrendous. It ranged anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes on stock unrooted. This is both with the lines and after I sort of fixed it. The craptastic boot time remained.
[G2 General] jesssiii:
My box had 1.1 and it got the lines, so no fix there.

Guys can you try the app? Maybe it fixes some lines by you or the screen cable may got loose inside idk. Williek113 i wonder why it boots so long can you logcat itnmaybe cause the lines have nothing to do wit long boottime.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
Nope, no idea.

If it's not in the survey you'd have to search in the thread.

And to make this one post only, I'm going to hold off for a while from adding the "dead pixel remover" app until we get more results. If there is partial success I'll add it, but will also state that the results may vary.

Compass.
[G2 General] arcardinal:
The app does not fix all the lines. I got them about 2 weeks ago. It started with 5. I ran the dead pixel app before anyone else had mentioned it. Ive used it before on other devices. It got rid of 4 of the lines, but 1 remains and will not go away.

The lines appeared on a personal build of slimkat I'm running using dr87's updated 4.4 source. All I run is slimkat as I am the g2 device maintainer. I was using navigation for about an hour. I got to my destination. Took the phone off the dock, turned screen off and threw it in my pocket. When I took it out and turned the screen on I had 5 black lines. Yes the phone was very hot after using navigation.

I have gone into at&t and called them. They refuse to replace the phone under warranty. They are telling me I broke the screen due to dropping the device. I have never dropped my phone. It has no physical damage and still looks brand new. They told me they will only replace it if lg knows about the issue and informs the carriers. They told me to call lg at 1-800-793-8896 and tell them about the issue. I will be calling them, but I also plan on replacing the screen myself.
[G2 General] :
Thats messed up. It's been a known issue for a while now
[G2 General] mdeevee:
I tried the app. I ran it for 5 minutes twice and it did not do anything to the lines. As a reminder, I have A 1.00 and a JDI ( I don't know what that means but it's the type of display).

I think it's my imagination, but it is possible that the lines have lightened up to a more grey than black. Or it might be wishful thinking :)

Yeah jdi was japanese display inch and lgd was LG display i think.

[MENTION=2777226]arcardinal[/MENTION] i suggest to use the link i posted from aliexpress those things are cheap :D and for replacing it by yourself i suggest you to buy one with lcd+digitizer+frame since its alot easier then

If you mean worry about the lines well i think not really since we dont even know why this occurs and the way to fix it Permanent xd now we have found away to remove couple of lines with that remover app but it may not work for everybody.

[MENTION=2777226]arcardinal[/MENTION] ahh that sucks then i get why you screamed :D good you didnt went further and the cops needed to come:cowboy: maybe you need to let the app for 30-1hour on idk to fix the latest line?
