I'm having the same issue as you right now.. in the past when my watch is still rooted... I just need to clear the dalvik cache in recovery and it be fine... but now i restored to stock so I can't perform this.

any help?
[LG G Watch R] RngrYogi:
I am having the exact same issue. And lately google play services and contacts and other things began randomly crashing ALOT on my verizon note 4. Nothing rooted all stock on phone and watch. Did our bluetooth radios die or is this a widespread problem with an update noone has documented yet? I need my watch lol. Any one else?
[LG G Watch R] Fattyfish:
Did anyone figure out a solution to this? Is it the watch or the phone (i'm using an s6 edge)?

All i get is "install android wear on your phone" on my moto 360, and on the android wear app it doesn't find my watch. I literally cannot do anything on my watch but stare at the "install android wear on your phone" message. I only tried to reset my watch because it was connecting and disconnecting rapidly every 5-10 seconds for hours and was my last resort.

Anyone please help?!
[LG G Watch R] cheapshot789:
I am having same problem as op, why would you not root again and wipe dalvik if that was working before, i have been trying to root so i can do this but i cant got stuck on twrp and would not boot to start up so i flashed everything back to normal and bluetooth will not show at all on any device...
[LG G Watch R] Ginxeng:
I believe it has to do with the latest version of android wear. Ever since the last update a lot of people have been reporting the same and similar problems in the play store. A fix for me even though it is inconvenient is resitting the watch and re installing android wear. Every since the update I have to do that every couple of days.
[LG G Watch R] cheapshot789:
Can you provide steps on how u do that because I have followed all steps on this form can still don't work. Ever since I tried to root it with windroid I got stuck on installing super user and wouldn't install then it was stuck on just booting to twrp I have with windroud and adb the stock image files and it goes back to normal but ever since the watch won't show up at all on any device tried multiple any help would be appreciated
[LG G Watch R] Ginxeng:
what I do is first I unpair the watch from the phones bluetooth settings, then I uninstall android wear from the phone. Then I take the watch and I go under settings and reset the watch, once the watch is finished resetting I re-install android wear on the phone and re-pair.
[LG G Watch R] cheapshot789:
Thanks but what about the root and all I have problem
[LG G Watch R] kscasper13:
ANSWER: after resetting your watch, you must unpair the watch from your phone, then go to settings/apps/android wear "clear data" . then start the whole pairing process again.

i answered after scanning the thread too quickly
[LG G Watch R] ntphuc1910:
I've done every steps above: Factory reset my GWR, then on my phone I clear data in setting - apps - android wear then pair again. My GWR connect successfully but after sync app it disconnect, then my phone can not find the watch anymore.

I've done all these steps 5-6 times and the result still the same!

I dont know whats wrong with my GWR? :(
[LG G Watch R] Tong Ngoc:
I have same problem

Especially when the "install android wear on your phone" text appear on watch, below it is G watch R but is there 4 digit " name" of the watch did not showed, and adroid wear not see the watch to pair.:(

The watch is on 5.0.2

Pls help me.
[LG G Watch R] Jevenji:
This is what happened to mine. I tried all the things mentioned in this thread, but finally the only thing that worked was a hard factory reset (swipe from top left to bottom right over the LG logo when booting) and then leaving the watch on charger for like 3 hours and finally my phone could see and connect to it. I've heard this worked for others too.
[LG G Watch R] morrisx10:
Does anybody actuallly knows a method to fix this? im having the exact same issue on my g watch R, there is no code with the name and my G4 cant find it. i tried everything mention here, even the factory reset on recovery and then charger for more than 3 hours... but nothing everytime i try its the same thing, no code no pair. thanks
[LG G Watch R] yogibogi:
for me also

i dont know what to do i try everything but cant connect

i thinking about to reflash the stock rom but i dont know how to do it

Hi all,

I need help,suggestions,anything with an issue I've had for a while. Since the time I started loading WM6 the screen has been randomly fading to white. I have LSVW latest rom 22/4 SE and 1.40.10 radio and 1.40oli although it doesn't matter what rom you load. I tried going back to WM5 and its better but now still fades to white as well.

on advise from oli and legolas I purchased a new battery but still have the same issue.

I have dropped my phone once which resulted in a crack to the right of the DEL/CR keys so could it be a HW issue and if you think so is it one I could open up the phone and fix?

Any and all help appreciated :)

IN FACT IF SOMEONE CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE I WILL DONATE SOME CASH TO THEM!

test
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] test7875:
Im updating to

LVSW 4-23 Full, Radio 1.40.30.00, SPL 2.10.Oli, IPL 1.04

seeing if any difference comes out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
This is not the first time this issue has been reported:

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-301003.html

The conclusion is that it's hardware related. It may be as simple as one of the internal ribbon connectors having a less than firm connection. It may be brought on my anything from physical movement or pressure to internal pressure if the device gats warm. However, it is possible that there is a failing component. IMHO, a case of take it for replacement/repair or first check connectors if your brave and not worried about a warranty.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] test7875:
HHmmm interesting thread .. the only issue i have out of that is the fade to white one.

Maybe Hardware .. i got the phone off ebay and now it has a crack in it .. so i dare say it isnt under warranty any more. (even though its a max of 6 months old).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] abubasim:
It may also be software. I experienced the WSOD on my JASJAM when playing with the GPS-related DLL's. Once this problem appeared when switching on the camera. The screen would turn white and soft reset would not fix this, only power off/on would sort it out. Seems that the drivers do not reset (some of) the hardware to a known state on boot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jyetara:
Had EXACTLY the same problem. Hoped it would be a software problem. Hard-reset a few times to no avail. Upgraded to a couple of the WM6 ROMs. No change. I did notice that when it was cool it tended not to happen, but after being on the phone a couple minutes or using the PDA for a while, it would do it AGAIN.

One weird thing I noticed was that if I did a Soft-reset and held down the Left Soft-key, I could "force" it to fade to white on start-up! VERY WEIRD.

I finally bit the bullet, and sent it back to Telstra to get it sorted. Didn't want to void warranty myself.

It has been just over 2 weeks since I sent it off, and They have sent this reply...

Subject: RE: Imate JASJAM Problem

Hello, I am emailing about an I-Mate JASJAM phone I sent for repairs early last week (tel # xxx ).

Can you please update me as to status of this repair, as the Telstra shop did not provide me with a second phone while I await return/repair/replacement of the phone.

Thanks,

-------

So, I guess it IS a hardware problem. But then again, that kind of reply, sounds a bit "dodgy" as it doesn't seem to "technical" does it?

Hope this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Their reply was not very technical - does not surprise me however. The people who repair these devices are usually faced with some component/connection/screen or a m/board that needs replaced. They often fail to take account of something as basic as the case pressing on the screen or other components - particularly when device is warm. So they replace the component they think is faulty and then discover the problem is still there. With this issue in particular I think that there are no faulty components just the case is a fraction of a millimetre too tight for the internal components and hence swapping out parts can have no effect. With this fault I advise people to go for a replacement not a repair if possible.

NB: This issue should not be confused with white screen that may appear after installing particular software or when an application crashes, or when the flashing of a new ROM goes wrong! The hardware issue arises most commonly when the device gets warm or put another way goes white after maybe 10 minutes of use and will continue to go white even after hard reset.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] o0adam0o:
I have this same problem! =(

My phone screen recently (4-5 days ago) started to go white. I never saw this happen with my own eyes but when i picked up my phone and its sleeping i push the power button to get to an all white screen. I can hear noises when i touch the screen but no image other than white. I can solve this by removing the battery and putting it back in, then my scren works fine....its not verry often just like 1-3 times a day.

I want to try a hard reset but have a question first: My phone is unlocked by the ebay guy i got it from, will a hard reset lock my phone back to Cingular?

Next i want to try upgrading my ROM and Radio and anything else...im looking in the wiki for instructions on how to do this. Any help? What else shouls i upgrade?

Ive only had my Hermes for around 2 months so im new to much of this.

THanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] VolarisPtyLtd:
I recently purchased a Used Imate Jasjam (Ex Telstra Australia) with this issue.

I pulled the unit apart, and reseated and pressed the Power and LCD Display Data Cables... attempting to ensure they were firmly fastened.

I then upgraded to LVSW's Latest WM6 Release.

I have had the Phone go to White once in that timeframe since. I brought it back by pressing the power button of, then one again.

I don't feel that it's really a "100%" Faulty Part... Because it works fine othertimes. It almost seems as if connections or a Data Cable has an Issue.

I'm intending tonight and using the Phone over the weekend to see if the issue continues to occur.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jyetara:
BAD NEWS!!

Well, got my phone back after a bit over 3 weeks I think? I kept ringing the repair center and emailing. Finally they said it was ready, and was sent back to the shop I bought it from. Rang the shop "no it's not here yet, we will ring you"... now the repair centre to the shop is a 20 min drive... on the 3rd, I rang again at 1pm and "no it's not here yet, we will ring you when it arrives." At this point I was really getting p*ed off. So I went to the shop, and demanded, and guess what was AT the Shop?!?!?!

Anyway, after 1 friggin day, I have lost the Red & Green phone buttons! As of tonight the whole bottom section no longer work, and the screen has gone white again.

The repair report listed 3 things replaced...one was a "bezel" another was a "poly" something. I will get the report a list the replaced bits if anyone likes, but their descriptions are kind of strange if ya ask me.

Anyway, I have to send the phone back for repairs again, which could take another 3 weeks +, which I think is completely PATHETIC OF TELSTRA, especially for the fact they dont give the same phone or even similar to "loan" while I wait for my defective $1300 phone to get "repaired"... (more like 'fiddled with' & "yeah, she'll be right mate"...

GRRRRR!!!!:mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fiendz:
My girlfriends phone was having the same problem. Try popping out your SD card and putting the phone into/out of sleep and see if that brings back a visible screen. Thats how we determined her situation was a hardware problem and not a problem with the rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yes, sadly this is kind of predictable as I said in an earlier post in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1233420&postcount=7

This is why, as I said, get a replacement not a repair if possible. My view is that the individual components are fine but connectors come loose or the heat generated causes pressure to be put on the screen etc So it's a problem with some cases and how the innards in some cases get squeezed. So off course changing the top poly board, connectors, bezel gasket, may by pot luck make a difference but is just as likely to make no difference at all.

Status Report:

After having my phone playing Video's Through the Night (My Way of a "Stress Test" to Generate Heat) I woke up the find the screen to be "almost completely" White.

Usually its gone completely, however in this instance I was able to see the icons through the whitewash.

I put the phone into sleep and back out and the Display is fine again.

Being that these phones are much easier to pull apart and put back together than my old JasJar I might to do some further experimentation.

I think the issue will have something to do with either one of the following

- Heat

- Pressure on the LCD from Parts Around it

- Faulty Ribbon or Power Leads to the LCD

My suggestions

- In the Case of Heat... I'll run the Same Test, with the Phone Directly in front of a small airconditioning unit I have.

- In the Case of Pressure, I'm going to look and see if I can place some extra Insulation Tape or Similar on the Phone to relieve this

- I wish I could find somewhere to buy the Replacement Ribbon Cables but I don't know where I can get them in Australia... any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
We wait to see. Mind you one guy on these boards found he could get half an hour from his device if he put it in the freezer for a while - so I'm not sure that air-con will be strong enough!!!

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] VolarisPtyLtd:
Well Results.....

After pulling apart the unit and reconnected, I think I found my cause to simply be excess pressure.

I've removed the "Black Plastic" Micro SD Card from its Blanking Plate.

Since I've done this... not one White Screen Whatsoever.

I don't use an SD Card, so the issue is resolved for me, however it is very interesting.

Could be Pressure or Heat (Small Hole Might Increase Airflow/Allow for Greater Dissapation or something)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] FaCeOff:
Hi folks,

i've also small experience with this "white screen" issue and just wanted to inform you about it.

I got the device from my former boss who did already complain about this "white screen" issue on his O² XDA trion with original ROM. (honestly i did not really believe him due to my experience with couple of other devices so after i got the device i was just wondering - ok back to the facts).

I installed on Friday the Windows Mobile VI Pro - BLACK 2.5 Release and until today it was running (as far as i remember expect one time) nearly perfect w/o white screens. About 45min ago, i flashed the device with BLACK 3.0 Release and got until now about 5-10 times a white screen.

I assume this is not a hardware ONLY issue but indeed very strange.

I'll go back to 2.5 and will look forward if i get again the white screen or it'll be ok.

Cheers so far
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
You are right to ask the question "is it hardware or software".

1

We know a white screens can arise if folk duff up flashing a new ROM.

2

We know there is a hardware caused white screen that comes and goes often when device gets warm.

3

But there maybe white screens caused by some kinds of crashing software or a buggy ROM etc

Crucially in terms of finding a cure will be distiguishing between these.

2 for most people is easy - take it back and get a replacement.

1 is a matter for the ROM upgrading and fixing boards

3 is a case of trying different ROMs testing 3 party software by selective installation until the problem starts or stops.

In your case I am worried that this is a number 2 device as it did sometimes get the problem before you flashed the ROM and now it's worse. It may only be worse because this particular ROM is generating more heat and consequently more white screens. (see explanations elsewhere).

I suppose if it's an occasional problem you might live with it but otherwise it's replacement at best and repair as a rather dodgy alternative.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] FaCeOff:
Hey Mike,

well, before flashing the device with a custom ROM, in my opinion it was really difficult to use it.

By flashing it with V 2.5, it was very good usable and with V 3.0 it returned to become more unusable. Nevertheless, i upgraded 10min ago with HARD-SPL-V7 and it's running fine now (i've been wating with downgrading to V 2.5. If it returns to become unstable, i will downgrade to V 2.5 again.

I'll keep you informed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
yes for this particular "white screen" issue it will be useful to hear how things go - thanks

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] FaCeOff:
White screen - in my case definitely a hardware issue

Hi folks,

i was testing and playing around with my Hermes and today i found the problem (very funny because now i can't reproduce it anymore but just read ahead).

Today i was playing around and after pressing by accident on the case of the Hermes, the screen appeared disappeared and changed into white.

Please download the video i recorded from the attached link - you'll see that it was able to reproduce it by tapping on the case:

http://asuka.descipe.de/dphome/test/HTC_Hermes_White_Screen_issue.mp4

Please use VLC or MPC (additional codecs required) to watch the movie.

Honestly i'm not sure if this can be reproduced by anyone but this makes the whole situation much more clear.

Any feedback is welcome.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yes indeed and this confirms my suspicions about it being pressure being put on the screen and in some cases a loose internal connector. It also explains why some folks who have the screen replaced still have the problem - there's nothing actually wrong with the screen until it gets squeezed against the casing (often caused by heat build up internally when using eg wifi.) Anyway it's a replacement job IMHO if possible rather than repair.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] valinald:
I've encountered the whitescreen phenomena in two variations. One is the fading white where I can see icons "underneath" and it usually occurs after long usb connectivity with pc or using the quickcharger.

The other white screen is totally white and I have to slide the keyboard open a few times and keep pressing standby/power button. It disappears if I bend the keyboard slightly while pressing the power on button...

I'd hate to send my phone away for repair and be without it for weeks so I'll manage for now and look forward to a step-by-step solution written for ppl with 10 thumbs..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Firehawkns:
i've been in the same boat as you guys. I am on my 3rd phone now. First phone did this after 30 days, Cingular sent a refurb, it did it out of the box, cingular sent a brand new one and everything has been great since. *knock on wood*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ZzFDKzZ:
I have the same problems ever since I upgraded to Black 3.01
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MartynL:
I had the same issue with the "fade to white" problems on my Orange SPV M3100 - I recieved a replacement device a few weeks ago for an un-related issue and the new unit was working perfectly - Orange then released the recent ROM update, which I upgraded to on Friday last week, and within an hour of install, i suffered the white screen issue.

The phone hadn't been moved, dropped etc from the install to the first white screen event, so I believe it to be a ROM problem - I've since gone back to an older ROM version yesterday, and so far, haven't suffered any instances of white screen...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jamit:
Screen Fade to White

Hmmm, I'm also having this "fade to white" issue:mad:

First occured after black 3.0 install (a day or so later) and after "heavy" use of the device be it surfing the web or phone calls.....I initially though it might have been due to the couple of times I've dropped the phone although after reading some of the above posts it seems it is just as likley to be software related. I also find the red & green phone buttons stop working every now and then ? ?:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Miguel-:
I have the same prob and I also think that it is hardware related.. When the screen is white and I reset the phone the start screen goes a couple of pixel rows downwards and the lowest rows goes at the top of the screen.. I've opened, cleaned and took off all connectors 2 times now and its quite good now.

When the failure happens, I loose also the control of the hard buttons located on the top part of phone(hard buttons located in the keyboard circuit works). I think it might be either a grounding or supply issue there because it takes both the screen and buttons (the leds and screen backlight has different power lines that the logical parts). There is Xilinx cpld chip XC2C64A located at the circuitboard with answer and call button. I think that the circuit transforms the input signals from hard buttons to serial format. Probably that circuit looses power or grounding and it stops also working.

The fault came to me first time in singapore where I kept the phone in my pocket and sweated quite a lot. I think the internal parts didnt like the humidity..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] remigi:
I have the exact same problem :( and i cant fix it :( the buttons stop working and the screen jsut keeps going white all the time, started happening also like 2 days i went to black 3.0... i just switched back to 2.5 and that made no difference at all :( HELPPP :( should i give it to be repaired?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
That's your only option other than checking the internal connectors if you have technical skills.
