[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyansh053:
I was running unoffcial cm12 for my desire 816 a5dwg variant. My power button just got stuck inside and doesnt work so I had to send it for warranty and so I planned on making my desire 816 stock again. I used the windroid universal kit and relocked the bootloader using it and after that my phone is stuck in a bootloop and it boots to the hboot. I've tried pressing volume keys but before I do anything it switches off. It runs only for 20 seconds and then reboots again. I need to get the phone to stock as to make a claim for warranty. I know there are so many talented devs out there who would have superior knowledge and can help me fix this. Please help me. Thank you so much in advance :)
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
-You need to unlock the bootloader again.

-Then boot the device.

-Find FULL UNROOT by going into SuperSU settings.

-Go back into bootloader.

-Flash stock recovery.

-Relock bootloader.

-Claim manufacturer defect of hardware with HTC and send it in.

Also note, it is a hardware issue so relocking the bootloader isn't necessary. Removing root and a stock recovery is necessary though.

Done.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyansh053:
Hey man thanks for your help but I got it working anyway. I gave the phone to the service center and they fixed the power button and upon booting all they say was the hboot which obviously had the tampered and relocked flag there and so they said we wont cover it in warranty. The main problem was the power button which caused it to reboot to infinity and they fixed it so I got it back and unlocked the boot loader and boom shakalaka the phone is working again. Appreciate your help mate :D
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
Glad everything worked out for you. :D

Also, if it booted directly into the bootloader when they turned it on then technically to them you caused an issue.

They would need to see the device boot up fully and that it doesn't possess any ROOT/RECOVERY modifications to give a replacement.

If it was relocked and it booted up to the home screen as soon as they fixed the button they would've offered a replacement due to a manufacturer defect of the button and the software being fully functional.

Basically saying if something goes wrong with the software and your bootloader is relocked they can basically blame you -IF- they can see the bootloader. Even if you were on pure stock and never decided to root after the bootloader unlock. This is because that's their safety net for software issues caused by the USER modifying inaccessible areas of the device and not the actual HTC software. Even if you have a hardware issue to match with it. No warranty.

If you had a complete brick with no power whatsoever they could never see if it was locked relocked or unlocked and would replace it for software & hardware warranty.

If its relocked and fully functional but hardware is giving issues non related to the software then they will replace it for hardware only.

The game playing is. If they can set the field to look as if you caused it, no warranty. If you do vice versa and your them. Then its your field. Driftin with me?

Its all about the choice of words and the way the situation is given & described.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeT-Klb:
Hi,

i´m running a N7105 with german T-Mobile-build ROM 4.4.2 with baseband N7105XXUFND3.

One weired thing: Sometimes the Wlan-sign on the top right disappear and in the control Panel Wlan is simply unlighted. It can´t be turned off or on anymore - but WLAN itself keeps on running and can be used.

It means the phone "thinks" WLAN is disabled - but in fact it´s still running.

Sometimes after some time suddenly the Symbol Comes back and then the control bar will work too.

Someone else face that behaviour? Is there a Workaround for this?

My phone is rooted with Ghettoroot because this way won´t trip KNOX.

Yours

[LG G Watch R] unclebor:
Hi,

I've started this poll for ALL owners of the LG G Watch R.

The question is: does your G Watch R flicker after charging it to full 100% when you take it off the charger?

After selecting yes or no on this poll, can you check your build number on your watch and post it here?

If you post the info, please also note if your watch does flicker or not to keep the results clean. :)

something like this:

Does flicker:

Software version: 5.0.1

Build number: LWX48P

Serial starting with: 412KPGS0139XXX

or

Does not flicker:

Software version: 5.0.1

Build number: LWX48P

Serial starting with: 412KPGS0139XXX

What I'm trying to figure out by starting this poll, is if it's hardware related or not.

To check your build:

Go to "Settings" on your watch.

Then press "About".

in the about section you will find the following info:

Software version: 5.0.1 (This will change after a new update.)

Build number: LWX48P

Serial starting with: 412KPGS0139XXX (Just replace last 3 digits with XXX, we don't need to know your exact serial number.)

Above info is from my own LG G Watch R.

Thanks for participating :)

Treborov.

Results so far:

All watches posted so far have Build number: LWX48P. I wonder if there are other build numbers out there? If anyone has a different build number please post it here :)

Serial ranges: 410KP series, 411KP series and 412KP series.

Everyone so far is running software version 5.0.1 (Which is the latest update.)

Remarks by users about what might cause the flickering effect:

Screen brightness settings: 1x

(Google calendar event) notifications: 1x (Could be any notification because I had the same problem with multiple notifications that all tried to pup up at once)

Watchmaker app: 2x (installed on 2 watches that have the flickering effect.)

Hardware related:

Loose display ribbons: 1x
[LG G Watch R] RoosW:
I have had the snow-crash in one and the flickering in my second watch, now on my third. that one seems all right at the moment. what makes me suspect hardware in stead of software is that the LG G, does not show this problem. and both are technically quite close related.

If my watch shows the flickering again, i will partake in your experiment, as i am quite curious as to what is causing this. I also noticed the much brighter flickering as brightness was down to 1.

As i read the posts concerning this problem, i also noticed that the part that flickers is not always the same, on my watch it was the lower half blinking, others have mentioned the upper half.

It still reminds me of what a led does when power goes below a certain threshold.

Good luck in your project!
[LG G Watch R] unclebor:
Thanks for leaving a comment, I did read all your comments in the other post about you sending your watch back to LG.

So you're on your third LG G Watch R now right? Not exchanged it for an LG G Watch?

If you got another Watch R. would you mind posting the build number?

Let's just hope your 3rd watch doesn't go all "disco" on you like the other two :)
[LG G Watch R] wicked1683:
Disco time haha. Half of the screen flickers, same as the OP explained. Really annoying, happened 2x already within 3 weeks of owning the watch

Does flicker:

Software version: 5.0.1

Build number: LWX48P

Serial starting with: 411KPZK0129XXX
[LG G Watch R] RoosW:
Software : 5.0.1

Build : LWX48P

Serial starting with : 411KPPB

---------- Post added at 16:39 ---------- Previous post was at 16:32 ----------

I had a Pebble before i had an LG G, my wife now has that one, i decided to stay with the LG G R, because the recessed screen helps in preventing random contact with my sleeve (thus interrupting the music playing on my headset), and i like its looks a lot more then the LG G, the screen above the bezel like the 360 has, is why i did not got that one (besides the poor hardware and battery) until someone writes an app that kills the touchscreen until the crown is pushed once or say 2 times, all other options are just to annoying ;)
[LG G Watch R] wicked1683:
Hmmm.. 2 days straight of flickering every morning when I tried to check the watch right after I wake up.

I noticed that after I restart the device, a Google calendar event notification will pop up. Then the flickering will stop

Looks like a Calendar Event notification bug in Android wear, could someone confirm this?

Update : It flickers again, no calendar event notification. Maybe this is a hardware problem
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
Does flicker:

Software version: 5.0.1

Build number: LWX48P

Serial starting with: 410KPVH0010XXX

thought the 5.0.1 solve the flicker but it came back after few days :(
[LG G Watch R] unclebor:
O.K. Update on my watch.

I did a factory reset yesterday on my LG G Watch R.

I haven't touched the watch as in, changing face plate installing software etc.

This morning when I took it off the charger it didn't start flickering like it did the last two days. (So it was working as it should.)

Things I had installed on my watch when it was flickering: (before factory reset)

Multi Calculator

Instaweather app.

Intellicom Watch faces app.

Luxury watch faces app.

WatchMaker free app.

Facer app.

After factory reset, the only thing that automatically popped up on my watch when I checked watch faces, was the Facer app. The rest of the apps wern't showing on my watch anymore.

However, I didn't uninstall those on my phone.

I uninstalled the Facer app on my phone.

After checking the Watch Face options this morning, all the installed programs are back on my watch.

It seems they all got synced again between my phone and my watch.

Maybe I checked to soon yesterday after the reset and these programs weren't synced yet.

I'll take a closer look after next factory reset.

Thanks everyone who has participated so far in this thread :good:
[LG G Watch R] wicked1683:
[MENTION=2166250]unclebor[/MENTION]

In your app list, we only have 1 common app installed.

I also installed watchmaker, and as far as I remember the flickering started after i installed that! I will uninstall watchmaker and delete the data folder because I already tried uninstalling it but the data folder was not deleted.

Hopefully this is the culprit, if not maybe this is a hardware issue.
[LG G Watch R] siraltus:
The flicker is most likely due to a loose display ribbon connector and stops after a while because the watch warms up, the connector expands and makes better contact, but it will remain intermittent since it's not pressed all the way in. You need to open the watch and press in all the connectors (there are 4) and the flicker will likely stop.

For the record, I'm on 5.0.1, LWX48P, 411KPSL0096XXX, no flicker.
[LG G Watch R] jhun80:
Mine does the same with LWX48P. It happends since i started using it with always On screen. Can we return it and exchange to a new one? I like pebbles warranty since they have issues about flickering screens too. Returned and sent me a new one.
[LG G Watch R] Lt.Spock:
Since update 5.0.1 the display flickers sometimes after fully charged. Power off and power on the watch helps for me (no reboot!)

Software version: 5.0.1

Build number: LWX48P

Serial starting with: 410KPNY0036XXX

cheers

[LG G Watch R] unclebor:
Update on my watch day 2 after factory reset.

I took it off the charging cradle this morning and again, no flickering.

It seems the factory reset helped so far. (Crosses fingers.)

my current settings are:

Adjust Brightness = 4 (stock after reset)

Always-on screen = off

Face plate = suit

Installed apps:

Intellicom watchfaces (did not select any face plates after reset)

Luxery watchfaces (did not select any face plates after reset)

Watchmaker (did not select any face plates after reset)

InstaWeather (did not use this after reset)

I'm going to change one setting today, and that's the Adjust Brightness = 4 to Adjust Brightness = 1 and see what it will do tomorrow when I take if off the charger.

If indeed it flickers again tomorrow (which I surely hope it won't), I'll change the setting back to 4 and recharge it to 100% and check again.

After tomorrow (if the brightness setting isn't the issue), I'll put the brightness level back to 4 and select a 3rd party watch face.

Yes, this is going to be a slow testing process, because I want to check only after a whole night of charging to not manipulate the charging time.

When I can trigger the flickering process by changing some setting, I'll just recharge it on the fly. Check if I can make it "un-flicker" by undoing the last change I made on the watch.

if that doesn't help, uninstall the program that made it flicker in the first place and check after that. (if it's a 3rd party app and not a Google Wear 5.0.1 setting)

If that doesn't help, factory reset, one more night charging on default settings, if that doesn't make the watch flicker, re-install the program that caused it to flicker and retest the last procedure that triggered the "disco" effect.

Makes sense? LOL for me it does :D

I wish I had like 10 of these watches, would make the testing process go much faster.

Thanks again for everyone participating in this poll and posting serials and such :good:
[LG G Watch R] wicked1683:
It flickers again this morning without the watchmaker app. So that's not the culprit, really annoying, i will return this for warranty.
[LG G Watch R] chrisnewton:
Why don't you guys return the watch? Sod the testing the watch was not designed to flicker! When I get mine on Xmas day, if it flickers.. Back it goes
[LG G Watch R] wicked1683:
There's a reply on the other thread, he returned it ang LG fixed it. But flickering still persist. So looks like LG doesn't really know how to fix this. But I sent mine for warranty.

No official statement from LG regarding this issue.
[LG G Watch R] unclebor:
Here are my 2 cents about the flickering on the watch:

Quick summary,

Got the watch (day 1), it was fully charged 100% when I turned it on, paired it and played with the stock settings and options.

Didn't flicker the first morning after full charge (day 2).

I played with it a lot, installed apps, changed face plates, (Also tried out some MOMO 360 face plates through the 3rd party app to see what they looked like on this G Watch R, didn't like them, chose another one), played with the weather app..etc.

Flickered after full charge! (day 3).

Played with it a bit, didn't really pay attention to the flickering because it was working normally after a reboot, just thought it was annoying. However put it in the back of my head for the next morning to check.

Flickered after full charge! (day 4).

Thought it was pretty annoying and checked the web for possible solutions and if other people had the same problem with this "disco effect".

After reading the threads here, I decided to do some testing myself.

I did reset my watch to factory settings.

Didn't flicker after full charge (day 5).

Didn't flicker after full charge (day 6).

Changed display settings to brightness level 1 (was on 4).

If the watch was broken, hardware related, the flickering effect would be there all the time right? (Broken = broken, no matter what the settings).

If it was a loose wire, it wouldn't only flicker after charging. (Unless the watch heats up to a certain level on the charger which would cause a bad connection in the watch itself which makes it flicker only after recharge.)

Therefore I think it's either software related OR the combination between the brightness/always-on settings and hardware.

There might be something in one of the installed (3rd party?) apps OR in the brightness/Always-on settings that triggers the "disco" on your watch.

Maybe if the brightness level is put below stock settings, there is a condenser that regulates the screen brightness? (Going to put this to the test.)

IF tomorrow morning my watch flickers, I know it's the hardware that can't cope with the low brightness setting. If not, I'm going to change the brightness back up to 4 and install a 3rd party watch face.

I still think, because Dersie changed his brightness settings through another app, it is software related.

if it was hardware related, it would always flicker after recharge, no matter which app you use to dim the screen. (condenser/hardware goes all stressed when it has to power up the screen in dimmed mode).

It's like searching for a needle in the haystack, but hey.... I like finding needles in haystacks. :)
[LG G Watch R] jhun80:
It gotten worse! After charging I decided to turn it off, I slept, when I woke up I turned it on, then seconds later flickering happends. Restarted it, but still the same. I turned it off for a couple of times. Until I decided to just leave it on until flickering dissapears. Did factory reset but still the same. Sick and tired of this, $300 watch and its defective I dont wanna deal with this everyday, Im gonna return it to newegg since they have 30 day return/replacement warranty. But my watch has a lil dent on the bezel already. I hope they still accept it.
[LG G Watch R] dersie:
Mine started flicking after 4 weeks, batt at 42% 2 day after charged, on a table since 1H, so no movement to move hardware screen connector, no after full charge. No issue the last 2 days after using brigntness setup with SWApp....

condenser problem is maybe a way for the problem. It happen only from screen OFF to ON for me, never when screen is already ON for awhile. So only after condenser can be not charged.
[LG G Watch R] unclebor:
Time to let you guys know about what's going on with my watch.

Didn't have much time to post anything the last couple of days :/

All I can say is, so far so good.

The last 3 days it didn't flicker at all.

I am running a 3rd party watch face now, brightness settings set to 1. No flickering after full recharge.

I don't know what caused it in the first place.

Maybe it was a MOTO 360 face watch I tried on my watch to see what it looked like, I don't know.

I will do some more testing after these busy days at the end of the year.

I will post again in this thread when the flickering returns or when I find out how to trigger it.

If I can find out anything else about the "disco effect" on the G Watch R series on other sites, I'll post a link here.

I'm sure this isn't over yet, I guess I am just lucky at the moment that it doesn't flicker.

However, knowing hardware /software it will probably come back since I already experienced the affect on this watch.
[LG G Watch R] dersie:
Same for me, no flicker effect since 4 days.
[LG G Watch R] Stbrightman:
No flicker for me, but plenty of other problems. Two weeks of use.

[LG G Watch R] dersie:
I think update 5.01 is very very ...... bad. Full problem also wich not see in V4.
[LG G Watch R] chrisnewton:
What other problems you having?
[LG G Watch R] Stbrightman:
I started a thread in this section on it. I'm having random connectivity problems that I think is also leading to my battery drain problems. I won't dirty up this thread with all that, but it is detailed over there.
[LG G Watch R] jhun80:
Was planning to return mine, but after a couple of use without this problem(flickering/blinking) , finally decided to keep it.

Without using "watchmaker" app (i use "red" preinstalled watchface) while charging, i notice that there's no more blinking issues. Still have the watchmaker installed. Been using this technique and so far so good.
[LG G Watch R] Wizard55:
Screen issue too

5.01

Build no LWX48p

411kpca0009

So have the watch 2 weeks and got the screen flickring issues twice. I now use stock watch faces and don't have this issue.

I think it's a software bug , but would value other opinions as need to return watch under 30 days with Amazon if I am to get a refund ?
[LG G Watch R] RoosW:
Return it, i had the same issue, with using Facer and Watchmaker, so tried it with stock watchface, 2 days perfect then it started again. Someone mentioned a loose connector to the screen that could cause it, if it is, you are screwed if you keep it, so return it for a new one!

My third one is working like a champ, no flicker no snow-crash, and all watchface apps work. Even battery is great, after update to 5.01 it is steady between 1.6% and 1.85% per hour (honestly with the bad luck i had with this watch i expected to have a lousy battery this time ;) ).
[LG G Watch R] wicked1683:
Ok I solved the flickering problem of my watch by just factory reseting it. Almost a week now without flickering.

I resync every app i previously have except the watchmaker app. Didn't install that because I remembered the problem started after I installed that.

I also did not enable developer mode at the moment.

I think this is a software problem

S/W ver. 5.0.1

Serial#: 411KPAE007XXXXX

Build: LWX48P

Connected to Galaxy S4

Country: France

Issue started happening after 3 days - only one time so far.

But later this morning I got a non responsive touch screen had to hard reboot the watch to get it back
[LG G Watch R] nicogri:
So little update this morning...

Watch did the same as yesterday... I button rebooted it... same flickering.

I stoped it wait 10 seconds... rebooted it... same...

I go in settings and put "cimema / movie" mode OFF (while flickering) and I noticed the flickering was slower.

I shutdown the watch wait and rebooted it and it was good !!!

Important note : I charge the watch ON while sleeping (with screen off) and my wife who is seek woke up at 2 AM tonight and she told me the watch was producing green wave in our bedroom... maybe lines of pixel flickering don't know...

Anyway I think it is kind of boring and I hesitate to RMA it to amazon because it seems software issue to me...
