Hey guys!

Been busy lately with exams and work but wanted to thank you all for being an excellent resource to the newcomers who venture onto this thread and find the great websites you've listed.

Can't express how grateful I am for all of you. :)

Also wanted to update you on my adventures of glass only repair.

2nd G2 glass repair kinda went like my last post!

Found a cheap cracked assembly and this time was able to safely extract the LCD from it.

So that was good.

I messed up when trying to clean the gunky OCA residue and used too much force while scraping the residue off and cracked the LCD.

(wife misplaced special squeegee I had for this too bad the improvisation backfired)

I was pissed.

So as punishment I've used our backup iphone 4s while I took care of some personal things.

Now I have some freetime and just picked up another junk cheap screen with broken glass.

Of course my wife thinks I'm nuts and have spent too much money regardless of how cheap I keep finding deals for these broken screens to practice with.

Oh well.

Will update this thread again soon with my next repair.

Hopefully third time will be the charm.

Wait till you see all of the pics lol
[G2 General] resinis:
most definitely the motherboard. same thing happened to mine. it sat on a boat for a day, got really hot, and that night when it cooled off the screen went nuts.

thought it was the screen itself. replaced, no change. thought it was the ribbon cable assembly. changed, but didnt fix it. last part left was the motherboard. changed that, and boom, subway sandwiches for pedos! now i just wish i didnt break my original screen when taking it apart, because this new replacement screen kinda sucks. and has a dead touch zone in it. screw it, ill just buy another screen. this will be like a $300 phone when i finally get it working again. note to self- dont leave this phone in the sun!
[G2 General] Ploxorz:
Yeah it was, but mine wasn't due to sun. The glitching just slowly got worse and worse until it was basically unusable, but other than that it was fully functional no freezes or any other issues, which is why I thought screen. I also damaged my lcd taking it out, but luckily my replacement is good quality, I can recommend etradesupply. Screen is separating at some parts though and I don't see how I could have done any better applying the 3m tape so I'm just letting my case hold the screen because I don't really feel like taking it apart again. I've had a lot of bad luck with the G2 for some reason, multiple hardware failures on different devices.

Now I have a frankenstein black Verizon G2 with a D800 screen (no verizon logo) and a white G2 motherboard lol
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
This is my etrade supply LCD now after falling out of my work vest onto concrete about 3 ft below.

The tempered glass screen protector did not break but the LCD display glass did. Touch did not work after as it seems to be an oem display.

Sucks that it broke so easily and I just spent $100 on it all a couple months ago or less. But the display did look good, like oem, except for a few splotchy spots noticeable on white screens. No big deal to me.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Are you guys resetting touch firmware after swapping screens?

I've found that to help sometimes with this situation.

Another good option is to update touch firmware and if you're rooted also wipe cache and dalvik in twrp.

Please try that and let us know if it helped you or not
[G2 General] derpadoodle:
Does anyone else get blotchy waves on the LCD from medium-heavy touches, similar to when you press on a PC monitor or a TV screen?

I bought this phone used and suspect it's had a replacement screen fitted.
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
Mine didn't
[G2 General] tiguy99:
My first LCD replacement unit had this problem.

Come to find out the original screen or true OEM doesn't have this problem.

If it bothers you too much you can buy an OEM LCD/digitizer combo from the suppliers listed here and swap it in yourself.

That'll eliminate the problem
[G2 General] Closed Force:
Just to share my exp with replacement screen. My digitizer broke, so I gave it for uv replacement, but they have not done it very well, I told them to do it again. This time everything looked perfect, but when I came home I realised they probably have had to replace the whole LCD to fix mistakes they made while repairing digitizer (it has to be done very very carefully, this is why i have not bothered to do it myself). So now I got a not OEM display, and my exp is that it has a bit lower brightness which leads to keeping brightness slider bit above in overall, leading to a bit higher battery use. Also colors are not as good as on OEM. Possibly best way to determine if you have replaced screen is - screen off, put it under 45 degrees against a sun. If it is blue it's copy, if it's black it's oem. [MENTION=5903229]derpadoodle[/MENTION]

My last advice is, never take it out of case, but if you are reading this, you probably made the mistake.
[G2 General] resinis:
got my replacement screen in from - http://www.epartsolution.com/

definitely NOT brand new, it seems they replaced the digitizer though, because it is scratch free. the digitizer cable is re-soldered POORLY onto its cable, but i was sick of dealing with this phone so i just put it together.

It works. Definitely an OEM screen, the colors pop and it has good sunlight readability. The last 'replacement oem' screen i bought off ebay was crap! (Bought from this seller- ipartsrepair2013) the colors looked weird (dull), the brightness wasnt that great, it was hard as hell to see in the sun, and it also had really crappy touch accuracy. **** that screen. its a backup now.

will go with etradesupply next time though. but i am happy i finally have my g2 back. And yes, the screen is not staying down like it should, but my case holds it together. i think i can just pry the screen up a bit and sneak some super glue in it, that will hold it. but at least it works good.

ah, yes.... good old g2. actually a well designed phone but not built to last. at least theyre easy to work on!
[G2 General] tiguy99:
It may be a good time to buy a replacement battery.

My old battery started swelling up and pushed up on the screen making the edges rise up.

Replaced it and now have sick battery life along with the screen sitting the way it's supposed to
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
This happens when the digitizer has been poorly fixed or the glue is getting weaker and the glass is lifting off. I got a new LCD+touch yesterday, not sure if its OEM but colors are pretty good, no problems with brightness either, but it doesnt have oleophobic coating 100%

Update: screen just died..... was setting up Viber when it became unresponsive and Vignette effect appeared on edges and started to move towards center. Digitzer works, led light works, lcd backlight works. Dead panel.......sweet, having a refurbished g2 is like being 90, it can die any moment. probably gonna sell the phone when i fix the screen 3rd time.
[G2 General] resinis:
i thought about that but ill do that when i need to. the battery is still good, i dont have any battery life issues.
[G2 General] iksD:
What about this? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-....wjvnLH&ws_ab_test=201407_5,201444_6,201409_2

Also, the LCD appears to be in good condition, so I'm still thinking of buying just the glass + digitizer, how likely is it that I'd be able to fix it at home conditions?
[G2 General] gbahns:
I got the epartssolution relpacement screen as well and it worked fine.
[G2 General] dikidera:
OP, can you define what Mira lines are?
[G2 General] liljom:
I changed like 10 G2 screens ordered via Aliexpress (from 8 producers). I compared to my wife's G2, and some of them were washed out, some of them were low brightness, some had a distorted picture (wrong gluing made LCD very sensitive), and often sides leaked backlite.

I curse myself for not noting wich producer was good.
[G2 General] beankid:
Well looks like i'll be keeping my case on my phone as the edges on the screen have started to come up (might have been this way for a while now because I just checked for the first time today) because of the battery which has completely tanked. It's so bad I have to charge the phone three times a day sometimes to get me through. I ordered a new one and hopefully once I replace it I can heat up the screen glue and reseat it. *Finger's crossed*
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Sounds like your battery is on its way out like mine was.

Only thing that will solve it is a new battery. Order one from Etradesupply like I did and you'll be golden!

I miss my G2!

As for me I'm still here been using my Moto G LTE backup phone for the past 2 months and have been on the fence whether or not I want to finish the glass only repair.

Still have everything open just need to get in there and finish up.

I'm debating if I want to separate the light box from the LCD beforehand like I did the other screen or if I want to keep it on there until the LOCA cures then swap it afterwards.

May tackle it this upcoming weekend!!!! stay tuned
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Looks like they may have done a glass only repair on it mainly because of resoldered digitizer cable and possibly light box connection.

Glad it worked out!

You guys motivate me to finish my glass only repair and share the news
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
I doubt my battery is dying, its not overheating, and it lasts me through the day. My panel is not glued accurately to the glass, on the bottom right corner of the black border (connects screen with bezel) its actually thicker than the left side, which makes me think the lcd panel itself is preventing the screen from sitting in the frame, thus making it lifted on the bottom left side.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Not doubting you!

Just curious...because the battery starts swelling as its dying while you can still have all day usage.

That led to my screen bulge problem earlier in this thread.

May want to physically rule that out while you have the phone apart.
[G2 General] beankid:
Oh yeah, just pulled the battery out of my G2 and that thing was swollen! It was crazy. I'm surprised how this phone has held up after pulling parts and replacing the LCD and now the battery. Still only in the phone for 150 since I got it for free. :good: Heres to hoping this new battery gets me through March.
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Does the screen still lift up? Did you experience light glowing through the edges from the backlight?
[G2 General] beankid:
No the screen does not lift up anymore. I took the device apart to install the new battery and heated up the screen to reseat it. Everything is good now.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Mine did prior to replacing the battery.

After it was replaced everything went back to normal and the benefit was 2 full days of battery just like when the phone

was new
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
I added some photos. You can see the battery is fine as seen in first 2 photos. 3rd photo shows backlight glow through the lifting hole at 0% brightness in a completely dark room - 4th photo is glow when i press the screen into the phone

I should point out its not the screen that came with the phone. It's a replacement
[G2 General] [] AL []:
Hi there,

I did a couple searches but could not find anything detailing this... Could you please explain to me how to update touch firmware?

Like I mentioned to you on the other thread a few hours ago, I got dead zones on my replacement G2 (2nd pic); the two previous refurbished G2s had moving screen discoloration when pressing at certain areas (1st pic).

So I don't hold my breathe on this, but I could give this a try before maybe asking for refund...

Thanks
