Does anyone think it's safe to switch from PA, if my screen's still fine, but I've seen the messed up boot screen? To Mahdi or even back to stock? I feel like I'm gambling every time my phone reboots. I'm just not sure if changing to something else is just as risky.

Come to think of it, I've seen the messed up boot screen without ever installing PA beta 7 on my D803. I used the LG update tool to get the KitKat update for the first time. Installed TWRP 2.7, then flashed beta 5. Saw the screen problem on reboot, but no damage, then it never booted. Wiped and flashed beta 4 and gapps, then saw the screen problem again, but it worked, but was laggy, so I wiped and reflashed beta 4. Saw the inverted messed up LG screen again. Then, I accidentally deleted the calendar sync, so I reflashed gapps and saw the screen problem again. Each time I've seen it, I've held down and power to reset it and it doesn't appear on the next reboot. I've only done clean flashes.

I'm also about 95% sure that I saw it after flashing the LG camera and remote zips, but can't be certain. There's a part of me that wants to experiment to try to find what causes the issue, but seems like a bad idea, since I feel like I've already run out of luck by seeing it 4 times without any permanent damage.

1. Send G2 for repair now, means:

1.1. I'll have to flash a stock D805 before the repair, and stay with it until a fix comes for the custom rom (or for whatever caused this issue) I want to install.

2. My warranty only expires at the end of the year, so I have plenty of time to play:

2.1. Root and install recovery (which I've already done, hehehe...);

2.2. Install whatever rom I want, since my screen is already damaged there is no point in worrying anymore.

For now I'm doing nº 2 and decided to have some fun in the process. If the screen does get even more damage, oh my! :D

[G2 General] willbs94:
Everyone one is freaking out and I thought it would be an expensive fix. Seriously guys roughly 80 bucks to fix the screen? Come on... You all knew that there is a risk in flashing roms. I replaced my s3 screen and LCD for twice as much when it cracked. This is not so bad. If you are out of warranty. Live with the lines or fork out the 80 to fix it.

Beside all the above. This issue is serious and should be taken with great caution. I am very sorry to those that have the issue. Hopefully you can Still warranty.

for all those willing here is a thread of mine I did when I looked into replacing my screen after a drop before I got my case. Its fairly easy. I've done it now 4-5 times, 2 on my own phone others were hook ups for buddies.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
I managed to damage my screen without opening anything. Imagine what I'm capable of if I do open! :angel:

Thanks. I'm sure there are people who will find your thread of interest. If I get in the mood, I might risk it myself but the chances are slim.

[G2 General] WolfmanJack:
I gotta tell after 8 years in the Corps I am anything but gentle when it comes to electronics. It really is not that bad at all. See the hardest part is removing the screen and if you've already chalked it up to a loss there is really no harm and putting a little more M A N into the removal. If you get one of the screens that comes with the removal kit as well it makes it even easier. Gotta have more faith in your abilities bro! But no I def hear ya. Like I've said above I've done it a couple times for others that did not want to risk it. Guess being able to blame me if things went wrong was good by them lol.

also performing a screen swap might be able to provide help in this issue.

One: as I stated before swapping an effected screen into a good phone will tell you instantly whether this is a permanent issue.

Two: If you flash back to stock then replace the screen and the new one doesnt fry, that may answer the partition issue that has been brought up in this thread as it relates to flashing. Might help narrow the scope.

My screen also got black lines after flashing paranoid, I sent to service and now waiting a new motherboard.
[G2 General] lacus:
Motherboard damaged as well?

No Display is damaged. Not Motherboard.

On service for repairs told me that the problem is in the motherboard probably GPU.

Yes this can be a GPU brick... Maybe some kind of new aosp drivers cause this fault on gpu..maybe it`s not display problem..

I also had a problem with the black lines on my D802 (SWS). (Picture attached)

Luckily the black line disappeared. But I don’t know why the display is working again without any flaw.

The black line appeared after flashing arcardinals SlimKat test build from 29th May (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52998114&postcount=1764).

I did the following steps (using philz touch 6.41.6):

- Flashed the KK baseband

- Rebooted recovery

- Flashed the SlimKat test build

- Rebooted system

- Now the boot process crashed: after showing the LG-logo the screen got grey and a blue and a read line appeared on the right side of the display (one of both lines was there where the black line appeared later)

- After booting a second time, the screen got grey again.

- After a few more tries, the phone booted into SlimKat but the black line appeared.

- More reboots didn’t help and the black line also appeared in the recovery.

- After that, I flashed the stock 20b with the LG Mobile Support Tool and did a factory reset. But it didn’t help.

This happened on Saturday evening.

Yesterday (Monday) noon the black line still was there. But then, locking the screen (or the 30 second timeout), the black line disappeared in the “turn off animation”. Activating the display again, the black line was gone.

Till now, the display is working without any problem.

Hello frustrated G2 owners :D. I see many people have all kind of display issues on there g2's , but i never seen anyone have screen ripples on light touches. Maybe because its normal, but i wanted to ask anyways.It is noticeable only on dark background and 100% brightness. Does anyone notice same problem on this phone?

P.S. Scared ****less to root and custom rom because of this issue so i am still on stock 4.2.2
[G2 General] Formhault:
What is noticeable exactly?
[G2 General] 5ch:
Screen ripple same as when u press laptop LCD. But this LCD has glass over it so i thought it should not do that. And its only light touch that produces them, one in right bottom corner and one i left top corner . U can see example here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elLrWWFVNOM
[G2 General] RenderBroken:
luckily I bought mine used and have had a perfect experience. I can tell you one thing though. I came from the Moto G. You will feel like you are stuck in mud compared to the G2. Its a GREAT buy at $200 for the unlocked variant. I loved it and its very easy to Dev for but it won't satiate your thirst.
[G2 General] Formhault:
I don't think I'm thirsty anymore.

As I said, if I manage to sell this G2, I'll probably first want to buy another G2, with warranty (so I'm on the safe side). If I don't find any such 32GB variant... I think I'll have to settle for the 16GB variant of the G2. If THAT fails, too, I'll go for the Moto G. I know it's a downgrade, but man, I feel so fed up with all these expensive phones which weren't supposed to let me down but manage to do so in the most unexpected way ever...

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

I know how the screen in HTC One X does. That's BAD. My phone doesn't do it like that - it's barely visible, when I press & swipe around the screen HARD (no light touches), but it's only noticeable on gray. It's like the liquid between the LCD and glass moves around - which is normal, I guess. It doesn't do that lightning effect like the One X...

The One X is like that due to its curved glass covering the screen. That's why even the lightest presses on the corners make it go Katrina :silly:.
[G2 General] 5ch:
Y mine is not noticeable that much too only on gray or black and 100% backlight and does not distort colors like one x just liquid effect, but it does show up on light touch . I have this g2 4 months now and i noticed it 3 days ago. I am just concerned about would it damage the display later on, should i go and use my warranty to fix it or get a new one without them laughing at me couse this is normal stuff?
[G2 General] siggey:
Hey guys, I think that we are going very far from the question. Every complex thing, a car, a pc, your doughter gameboy, can be broke. We have warranty just for this. And even a thing is more complicated or affordable, the more that things can broke. And we, here on xda, are constantly on the razor edge, pushing our devices to the limit. If you buy a car, a good BMW, you play with electronic and you get 100 more horse power, you constantly drive it fast, very fast, I think that sometimes that car get problems.

All this for saying that we must not blame LG, they made a phone, we made a mith, with super kernels, mega roms, iper flashing flasholics lovers.

Sorry for the ot, but I love android, xda and the power that this two things gave to everyone.
[G2 General] Formhault:
I tried to do this like the first week I got the phone, and back then, it only did such a thing in the upper part of the screen - like in one spot only, and only when I pressed hard on it. Now - guess the liquid got warmed up and such - it's all over the screen, but, as I said, ONLY when I press hard (the glass bends a bit, as it is Gorilla Glass 2 (not 3), so less strong).

I saw LG G2 Mini's in stores (like Vodafone, for example) which had this screen flex even on the lightest of touches. But those units are strapped there, like this, so maybe the stress put on the screen has a side effect in the long run...

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

This has nothing to do with the fact that LG f***ed up big with the G2's screen / digitizer / whatever.
[G2 General] siankatabg:
This yellow tint is another very rarely problem.I saw it on one android forum from my country.Only 5 affected peoples and 4 of the phones are from the first batch VIII - X, 2013.We think that this is caused from much heat that harm the glue(maybe bad glue) between the display and the glass...

Pics from the forum(this is G2):
[G2 General] Formhault:
That G3 pic I linked to earlier... That phone's screen got to be like that due to the pressure from the two side holders - it was perfect one week earlier. I'm sure there are wild units out there which have this sort of issue even without ever being physically stressed.
[G2 General] GoJo ^^:
Hello, i do not own this phone however people here seem to know quite much about indirect lcd damage so i'm gonna ask.. 1st, all my phone have rubber cases. My (damaged) phone HD LCD is supposed to have last gorilla glass. Just so you know, i have some Samsung galaxy (former gorilla), fell hundreds time and still 100% ok.

At some point, i woke the phone from sleep and i immediatly noticed something was wrong. Everything looked pixelated. After looking closely, it's like there was invisible vertical lines all along. Phone wasn't hit in any ways in the last 48hours for sure. It may have fell [lightly] before, nothing bad. Tried system restore and any other things you'd imagine : no change.

From then, after LCD is on for ~15", one side will start to develop a white halo and other strange things. It'll quickly go all over the screen. I didn't try to let it ON for much longer, i'm afraid it'd kill it (correct me if wrong). Turning it off & on immediatly after : All is gone.. Until next ~15" of use! I'm trying to understand what could be the cause of this, could it be the phone having a bad design somehow or not enough protection?
[G2 General] wulsic:
Well If you let it fell then that could maybe caused something from the inside to move or the cable isn't good connected anymore. Could you post an image of your phone so we can get more visual details about what you mean? If you can't provide it then its also okay since i don't want to kill your phone. Could you also tell your exact phone name?
[G2 General] GoJo ^^:
It's the Xiaomi 1S, not really what you'd call a piece of crap.. :D I'm going to wait the time it takes for the sh** to show and then i'll post a pic.

I don't think it's loose cable, otherwise it wouldn't turn that way, always in the same time frame. Even thought it was, i'd still have to disassemble.
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=4365424]goja[/MENTION] i dont know or the xiaomi 1s has gorilla glass 1 and or it has another glass but xiaomi 1s wasnt really the phone with the best build quality, the new xiaomi stuff are good quality but the first things from them weren't the best build quality.

I will wait for an pic but i will probably see it after 7-8 hours since i am going to sleep. Its now 2:48AM
[G2 General] GoJo ^^:
This 1S is from 2014 and should've gorilla glass 3. I joined the picture, black background using dead pixel app.

As said, this happens after a while, first it's just a black screen. It just get worse and worse if I let it turned ON.
[G2 General] GoJo ^^:
Here's a pic after double time
[G2 General] GoJo ^^:
Just thinking now.. The "invisible lines" I was talking about, it's just like interlacing maybe.. Hope it helps you to get a better view on this.
[G2 General] grubdog:
While plugged in, phone was barely warm... I flashed PA + gapps and after I rebooted, I saw the lg logo extremely discolored. I knew what was going to happen next. Lines appeared later. Pixel app doesn't help. Bought in may, manufacture date was in april. vs980. I feel defeated.
[G2 General] Maidenx:
Sad for you man...warranty now!:)
[G2 General] RohanM:
so newer batches are also prone to this ****...

Mine is too old , nov 13 manufactured. LS980...

Never flashed any rom or recovery & will never flash anything. Only rooted + xposed. :cowboy:
[G2 General] wulsic:
Guys lg logos don't discolor from themself, i am really starting to think that some old software is causing it because i only had that discoloring on my nexus 4 when i flashed an caf kernel on aosp and a normal aosp kernel on caf

[MENTION=4365424]goja[/MENTION] oh you have the hongmi 1s i thought yesterday you had the mi1s. I will try to do some investigation for you about that problem.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Oh man... That's bad. That's really bad. I seriously thought LG was the only one who f***ed up with this, in the G2. Looks like Xiaomi didn't do / purchase the right LCDs either.

Anyway, yeah, the Xiaomi 1S isn't exactly the piece of hardware you'd expect to be great build quality. The Xiaomi Mi3 is. So... yeah... there's that...

Do you have warranty for the 1S?

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Go down your local Verizon store and shove that phone down their throats, cause they sure as heck will try to tell you it's YOUR fault.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

Maybe that is true. But we still got [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] whose phone got the lines (and a lot of 'em!) while just doing ADB in recovery (100% stock).

Also, there isn't just the black lines issue. There's also the touchscreen issue and the screen flickering issue. All these three, and the probability that they could happen... kind of rack up to this : the display panel is f***ed up.
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION] i am not sure but i read that the new bootloader also had new boot parameters etc, maybe these problems will reduce when the 4.4.2 bootloader is unlocked? Its sad that we cant merge the bootloaders :/

And the colors disorders then some weird stuff happen, reboot and you have lines, and then you have normal colors again but stripes :/ it just seems all too suspicious to me. I am wondering or LG has to do something with it like some protection thing just like they had security error if you removed bloat :/
[G2 General] Formhault:
I'm not quite getting that.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Yeah after reading it back I also don't really get it. Guess i was tired,

I mean that the new bootloaders has new parameters also for display i believed, so if the 4.4.2 bootloader gets unlocked then the color disorder and those problems may dissapear
[G2 General] Formhault:
Nah. I really don't think so :p
[G2 General] wulsic:
Well i was also not really thinking that but new bootloader has new stuff internal so yeah, But its just that its weird stuff with me for LG, I owned the LG Optimus 2X there you also didn't had security error yet when removing bloat or whut so i don't know what kind of trolls they maybe more included.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Have you managed to get a G2?

I sold mine (black, 32GB) and bought another one (white, 16GB :( ). At least this one is covered by warranty for 22 more months :D.
[G2 General] drivenby:
All phones have some kind of hardware defect. My phone doesn't have warranty but i only spent 250 for it brand new. I'm just gonna keep using it as i would, if it breaks ill just buy a new one .

Seriously your paranoia is concerning. I applaud that you are protective of your money but the g2 is hardly the worst built smartphone .

The Samsung galaxies are FULL OF HARDWARE BUGS, the s3 memory bug was absolutely huge.

Its unfortunate but they don't really test this devices for the long term .

What i do now is that i try to keep an eye on temperatures. I have a battery temperature alarm and a CPU temperature in my status bar . if it ever gets too hot i just stop using my phone.

I also try not to flash too many things and i use the twrp with termal control from dr87. I feel safer this way.

If my phone works perfectly for 12+ months ill be happy .

My last phone had THREE DIFFERENT HARDWARE bugs . also no warranty unfortunately . (nobody cares about country lol) and one of them , a yellow tint, was super annoying and it was there from the first week or so.
[G2 General] Formhault:
Google Search LG G2 screen / touchscreen / display issues. You see how many people are having the SAME exact issue? THAT is concerning, not our paranoia (which, by the way, is driven by facts).

I don't usually feel right knowing I might have to spend another $250 in the next 3-7 months just because the damn thing broke down in the worst possible manner.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

Name some (except for the AMOLED issues - color inconsistencies and such, yeah, that's old).

Wasn't that a firmware issue? Same for the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note 1. It was bad, but it wasn't oh-my-God-there's-nothing-i-can-do-to-prevent-it bad.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Nope i still have to choose xd Nexus 5 or G2. Damm LG is making an hard choice for me.
[G2 General] drivenby:
The memory brick bug was a hardware issue that was sort of (not really) fixed with subsequent updates. It was so big that in fact Samsung publicly recognized its existence. There were even apps to check if you are susceptible.

Next year people went in and bought the s4 though, you wanna know why? Because even though it was widespread enough for the general user to he aware , the number of people with the problem was ultimately minimal.

We in XDA are enthusiasts and as such we are better informed and we often tamper with our devices. This produces a bias.

We have no idea how widespread the problem really is. If anything i would bet its rather low, considering there are ROMs here with 50k + downloads and most posts in this topic are not about someone reporting the hardware issue.

It all comes down to your personal experience with each phone . When people think of the one x, they remember a solidly built service... I however could spend hours telling you why HTC needs to burn :)

Same will happen with the g2, most owners will have no issues whatsoever.

I pray to god i don't experience the problem myself since I'm currently unemployed but if it does I'll just deal with it. I'm not going to change my phone for the *god knows* posibility it might maybe eventually have some kind of hardware issue.

I check this topic every one in a while in case some objective evidence comes up about the subject but otherwise I'm just gonna try to enjoy my phone.

Like i said, personal experience...if it doesn't break ill gladly buy another lg phone...if it does...then i guess ill buy a cheap Chinese knock off cause I've had issues with pretty Much every major developer lol.
[G2 General] Compass Linux:
What about the G3?

Compass.
[G2 General] GoJo ^^:
So for you, is this the result of some physical damage? Or it can happen for no reason (seems to be the case for the G2 here..)?
[G2 General] Formhault:
I don't know. My G2 is fine...

I really don't know what could cause such oddities :/
[G2 General] wulsic:
It would be nice if i could get the G3 but I just have enough money now for the G2 or the N5 since they are same priced and I do not have a job or vacation work so i can't really earn money and most vacation jobs have an minimum of 16+ and i'm 14 now.

I also think that your screen problem is the result of physical damage maybe the impact was too big for the phone :/ I also noticed on your second pic that the stripes have come from Transparant to Full black and on the corners you also have some black like thing. I did also some research but i couldn't really find that its a known problem and I couldn't find someone else who was also suffering from that problem :( So far as i know till now is that how longer you keep your device on the more power goes to the black darkness and it enlarges. Sorry for your phone I can't think of anything that could fix it like that, I guess that the impact had did something to the liquid crystal display
[G2 General] Dri94:
So recently my phone randomly started freaking out. It'll just act as if I'm touching the screen when I'm not. Thanks to double tap this constantly turns the screen on and off and it's unusable. Anyone else experience this? I'm trying to get it back to stock now so i can return it.
[G2 General] Formhault:
You're not alone. Join these folks' club. :p

Get it back to stock and put that warranty to good use.

Second to this bus i reported and discussed earlier this month with formhault about the bouncing screen etc.

All affected ones are on stock KK 4.4.2

All motherboard defects :3
[G2 General] Formhault:
Erm... What?

The screen flickering *seems* to be due to a defective filter on the motherboard. Or at least that is what some guys pretend they have been told by LG service (YouTube comments).

The black lines are due to the display connector / display unit.

The touchscreen issues are due to... we don't really know, but I'd say it's the digitizer.

So far, neither of these issues have been proved to be software wise...
