Stock evo locking up - EVO 4G General

My stock replacement evo is locking up randomly
When this happens, whe I wake the phone the screen is unresponsive and the icons start dragging themselves around the screen and I end up doing a battety pull.
The guys at the sprint store could not repeat the problem but it happened 10mins ago
is there a fix or something sprint can do to help me? Im on my second evo and im sick of the people at the sprint store saying the phone isgood because the problem doesnt happen when they check the phone.

What software are you running?
You could run a RUU and see if that solves the issue.
If it doesn't I would take a video the next time the phone does it and show them the video in the store.
Sounds like its possibly a touch screen issue.

I would do better than that, and take it in while its locked up, then demand a new phone and a credit for your discomfort.

Well the credit was just over the top, but I mean take it in if it happens, and he's available to do so.

I just want my phone to work, I asked the tech if he were to replace my phone, if he had any evos and he said they could not replace it because they wereout of stock...hoping I can fix this when I get home, I hate dealing with with the reps at the store making me wait 2 hrs every time I go.

G2 Shut off by itself this morning and won't turn on.

Early this morning, I unplugged my G2 from the outlet before leaving to work. The damn thing just shut off and won't turn on again...
I tried the power button, the optical pad button+power, took out the battery and back in multiple times, many times plugged in and not plugged in.
What a POS phone, I mean we get a 1.3gb usable space not the advertised 4gb, it also "corrects" itself with a hidden mirror OS so it's very difficult to root, plus the damn loose hinges and the screen ribbon exposed when the hinges are fully opened, the screen also has a very subtle yellow hue, plus reports of random reboots, market problem where google goggles won't install, live wallpapers crashing and freezing up, and finally the POS just dying on me when I need it for work.
If you have a G2 with no problems (yeah right) then congrats. I'm really considering withdrawing from the extended contract and going with the iFail.
Sorry for the rant, just a little pissed off and the customer service lady was a real *****.

Yup. Oh BTW. The e39 is also a POS.
You're not alone, man. Between this and the Vibrant headache, I fear my days with T-Mo are numbered. It was a fun decade, but it doesn't look as if they plan to change their course anytime soon.
Unless, of course, they want to start carrying the Desire HD?
We'll see what G2 #2 brings tomorrow. If it's more of the same problems, I will be a disappointed man.
This happened to me too. But I managed to power it back on after fiddling with removing the battery.
Yeah my g2 refused to turn on a couple of times now without taking out the battery and putting it back in.

Sweet observation. You should stay away from both then.
I don't blame you. T-Mobile's customer service has been **** for me too. First they tell me I can exchange it at the store only to have the store tell me no, sorry you have to ship it back. Then they make me pay for shipping, too. As far as the G2 goes, it broke while in my pocket, so no thanks. Maybe they'll rework the hinges soon. Otherwise, I'm just gonna use this crappy ass G1 until the Desire HD comes around.
mines shut off this morning.. first, my on-screen Android Keyboard went missing.. so I shut it off, turned it back on. Then it asked me if I'd give access permission to Google App Engine?? Are they going to start monitoring my apps now?? Just asking? Don't know what that does.. anyways, so after that.. my G2 just sat there til I wen t to go check the time and my phone was off! tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't! So I took the battery out and rebooted. Its on now but this is the second time this week! And not to mention my hinges are starting to become an issue as well! Not cool! They need to bring the Desire HD over so I can replace my G2 with that!
Yeah it happen to my g2 as well. This phone is really not making my android experience any good. tmo need to address these issues ASAP, and i work for them!!! im going to check the "known issues" on the g2 when i get into work 2mrow and see wat is up with this.
i suggest you all who is having these issues to give tmo a call so they have enough calls from customers to generate a ticket with HTC and lvl3 techs to address these issues. Just because tmo is not on these forums and reading about customers issues.
my phone turned off yesterday and also this morning. idk if maybe me trying to snooze the alarm accidently turned it off so im putting my phone in a diff location tonight and checking tomorrow-- if its off tomorrow im calling tmo asap!
My G2 just shut off itself when I was replying to a text. I pulled the battery and reseated it and try turning on but it does not do anything. If I connect it to the charger, the orange charging led just flashes on and off. It's been 20 minutes and I have not been able to turn it back on.
OMG, the desire's symptom comes to G2
Mine as well.
Well my G2 just turned it self off as well today. It was unresponsive to the power button. Took battery out and re-installed and powered back on and has been working ever since but thats just not right.
Edit: Not sure if this is worth anything but this happened shortly after I put the market widget on my home. I've had Beautiful Widget running for a week so don't think that was the problem but not even sure if the market one caused it but thought it might be worth mentioning.
Mine has also soft reboot back to the G2 screen 2 or 3 times now. Dunno what's going on
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
I have had this happen twice. In fact, my phone is in that state now. I am going to the TMO store. However, if I decide to return the phone, it isn't for this issue alone. As a side note, I thought this had happened to me with the TMO phone I was playing with in store before I bought mine.
If you take the battery out, wait about 10seconds, and re-install it you will be able to power the phone back up. Anyway, this behavior could be due to either a bad part or a driver problem.
*UPDATE*
Sadly, after talking to the TMO rep at the store, I elected to return the phone rather than exchange. While they wouldn't say how many, they have gotten "several" phones back because of this. My hats off to the Seattle TMO store as they made the return non-hassle and because I was returning it due to a defect, I didn't have to pay the restocking fee.

Sound advice, especially regarding the e39.
Hey guys,
After another freeze, I was able to actually connect via ADB. The shell was working fine.
Anyways, I did a logcat, and I saw the attached code looping.
http://pastebin.com/DV3uVYJg
It just keeps looping on these audio logs.
Any thoughts?
Anyone else get logcats similar or different than this?

2nd that. 10 chars
I had the same issue with my phones screen would just shut off and I would have to pull the battery out just to get it back on. I called tmobile and the answer I get is "that is not a known issue but def we will look into it". So all I did was go back to a tmobile store and trade it out for another one. Hopefully this won't happen again.

[Q] screen f**ed, among other things

When I boot the phone, whats supposed to be black is dark red and while its booting it shows white lines in various parts of the screen. Then it boots and it looks like crap and most every time, then shortly after I cant see anything because half the screen is polluted with the colored lines going on the screen. mostly white and blue.
Basically the phone is unusable. some other things are that the screen wont turn on when its plugged in to charge and the capacitive buttons don't work.
ANY help is appreciated. except for dumb ideas like the sprint chat "i reset service for your phone" so yeah.. thank you.
I could take a video?
this sunk to the bottom in a hurry, probably shouldn't bump it 4 minutes since I posted but....
pics/video. make it interesting. keep it tight on the junk. none of that artsy stuff.
Fine ill get a video, its amazing that it actaully worked to browse forums a little. theres a blue tint to thingsa and some pictures/icons are not clear, i need to bring this mofor to the sprint store. but im on dk28 and odin wont work...
edit: charging aa's for camera
edit2: sometimes theres no boot animation
From My Samsung Epic Using TapaTalk.
video being uploaded - no lines though maybe its fixing itself.
if you can see the clock digits it looks like it got scaled to like 8bit or something. pictures look like junk too.
**** i forgot plugging it in. thats a mojor thing.

Ditto.
Odin it back to stock and warranty it to Samsung. Hardware is obviously defective. At the very least you can make sure it's not some obscure software glitch.
If you can't wait that long without a phone, Sprint will replace it for $35 if you don't have insurance.

You could still possibly try the $35 Sprint option. Sometimes they don't know any better..... it's up to them to decide to reject it.
so how do i do the $35 option, just go in there and say "uhh can i get a replacement for $35" and show them the issues?
also the thing is, im broke.

Ask them to repair it.

Otherwise try your hardest to Odin it so you can warranty it. Possibly use the Samsung EB13 upgrade tool (which is essentially Odin).
Make sure you have drivers installed properly?

Also, I'm assuming you had rooted it (which shouldn't cause problems but Samsung won't like it).
If that's not the case, then disregard what I said and just go ahead and file the warranty claim.....

thanks for the link jnadke, ill be going to sprint tomorrow, but im broke, so thats a problem.

Did it happen after you went to EB13 FroYo?
Perhaps mention so, if it's true. They may have an exception for FroYo-bricked phones.
However, don't say anything that's not true foremost. Generally the less information, the better when it comes to these matters..... just tell them the hardware is defective, show them what's wrong (flickering) and ask them to fix it and leave it at that.

Touch Screen Issues (Sporadic but REALLY bad)

My fiance's Evo Shift has sporadic problems with the touch screen. We can't replicate it on demand so the Sprint techs refuse to believe it's actually broken (we've been in 3-4 times).
Basically, it will just go crazy sometimes. We can literally set the phone down and watch her notifications bar jump up and down all over the screen. Her contacts will open and it will start calling people, disconnect the call, then call someone else...all on it's own.
It's as if it becomes hypersensitive and registers touches that aren't there. It's in a completely random fashion but makes the phone unusable for a good amount of time. Sprint forced her to the 2.3.3 update so I can't root it, though I'm not sure I'd want to anyway in case I found a tech who actually knew what the hell they were doing (very rare with Sprint in this area, at least.)
Any ideas on what's causing it? I am convinced it's hardware but Sprint won't replace the phone because it happens to sporadically. Could it be software? Is there a screen calibration tool I can use without being root?
Go into menu-settings-Language & Keyboard-Touch Input settings-Text input-Calibration tool. Folow the prompts. May or may not help.
If they won't fix it in the store and prboy's suggestion doesn't work you should call Sprint and talk to someone. They aren't doing their job otherwise. You shouldn't have to deal with a phone that isn't working properly. It would be different if you were trying to get a free upgrade to an EVO 3D or trying to replace a beat up phone for free or something which it doesn't sound like you are doing. Mentioning you have heard good things about the competition will usually seal the deal if it comes down to it as well.
Car dealerships do this too and it really pisses me off. It can really be hard to diagnose an intermittent problem and they blow you off because of it. They should give you the benefit of the doubt and switch out your phone. Why would you be there if you weren't having issues.
The calibration prboy suggested doesnt sound like itll work because thats only for the htc ime keyboard.
You said it happened on 2.2 then sprint told you to upgrade to the 2.3.3 OTA update and it still has problems?
Yes, that's exactly what happened. FIRST they told me it was the app Lookout that was causing the problem...that they had an internal memo from Sprint saying it was malware and to delete it. They refused to even look at the phone further until we removed Lookout from her device. Then they sent us home and told us to download the 2.3 update and it would fix the issue.
It didn't and that Sprint tech REALLY made me want to punch him in the face. Incredibly condescending.

Well first off lookout security protects you from the very thing they said it is so dont listen to that.
If it is happening on both updates then it probably is not Software that is the problem.
Is there alot of times where you press something and it doesnt work and you keeps touching it? maybe it is finally registering those touches after you leave it be and thats why. it reads those touch inputs all at once and performs them
I suppose it could be that, but how could we stop that from happening? Stop them from 'queuing' up in such a manner?

It also calibrates the finger touch response for the screen. To the individual using it, we all press the screen differently.

Agreeded. As long as it happens even before you install any apps. Like right after a just doing a phone reset back to factory.
If its because its responding to finger touches at a later time then that usually is a problem with the hardware like the processor. Since it sounds like a hardware issue i can only suggest take it to sprint and show them the problem
I had the same problem with my first shift just call them talk to the tech. dep. Tell them your problem and the will set you up with a new phone they did it for me. But it does sound like what happened with my old one.

Earlier hardware builds of the shift had problems like mine would overheat like crazy
Hardware 0003 and any lower
i got a new one with hardware version 0004 and ive been fine since
Happened to me, eventually the whole screen will stop taking touch commands. I got a refurb from sprint for 30$.

Weird touchscreen problems

I'm wondering if these problems are typical of aosp roms or something. One example is that I had a problem with the touchscreen stopping working, and I had to lock the screen and open it again to have it start working again. It's a lot of issues with the touchscreen, it started clicking the same area by itself and I thought it was an app. I wiped the rom and it stopped doing it so I thought it was a software issue, but it did it again later. I think that it is a random things that happens, sometimes more often than not.
It sucks because I love the phone but I'm wondering if it's hardware. Anyone know?
It sounds like hardware issues. Switch to a sense rom and see if it persist.
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
You can try switching to a Sense Rom as suggested. See if that solves the issue. But if the issue persits, than RUU the phone back to factory stock. Check if the issue continues. If that does not resolve it than I would say it's a hardware issue. After that at least the phone is already in a condition to take back to Sprint for repair, or exchange.

I have a couple of questions. Firstly are you using a aftermarket charger! Are you trying to change screens while on the charger? If you are unplug for a few minutes and try not on the charger. If no to above questions then I would suggest doing what prboy suggests.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
I am not using an aftermarket charger, it happens randomly when I am using the phone, usually in bursts. I read that there is a hardware issue sometimes with it sometimes, but it always ends up with the phone being returned.
Does this typically happen on this model? I bought it from someone else, and I'm not sure if it can be exchanged.

Not that i'm aware of no but as long as you have TEP for your line/phone it will get fixed. Buying a phone from someone other that sprint doesn't affect TEP

looks like its hardware.
Ah i remember reading that thread a long time ago. Well at least we know it is in fact hardware issues
All four of my shifts ended up with this same problem. One tech tried to tell me that it was a software issue and I would have to wait for an update and their was no benefit to switching out the phone. Complete BS. After the fourth one started acting up, I called Sprint and spoke with retentions. The lady was incredibly helpful and I explained that I did not have time to keep visiting the Sprint store and that 4 phones in 6 months was not acceptable. In the end the lady made me a new line and I purchased a new phone with the discount and cancelled my old line. This was ~week after the ET4G released. I still have my shift and flashed ICS a week or so ago on it, but its a pain to use with the screen acting up. Oh well, good luck to you!

Well now that your certain, RUU and back it goes. Just hope you have TEP. They should still take care of it even if you don't have TEP. It's just they might give you a hard time. But definately take it in, keep us posted on how it goes.
I have this issues every now and then it doesnt really bother me that much and it seems to happen whenever my phones above 75% charged idk the cause but like i said it doesnt really happen to often
Yes, but you don't want to wait till it completely craps out on you. Just makes things harder to deal with.
It happens daily. I'm not sure if I want to return it and get a refurb with the chance of it happening again, or if I want to get a replacement touchscreen. Has anyone ever replaced the touchscreen and have it work good? Most stories I hear are of replacing it again and again until they decide to get another phone.
If you have TEP. I'd say iy's better to just unroot, and take it in. If you have TEP that's what your paying for . Besides if they screw it up you get another one .

[Q] LG G2 Screen Problem

I am really frustrated with my LG G2 because of the screen problem I encountered. The screen goes up and down, it happens when I over using the phone. I went on LG service center to reset my phone. still no luck, the problem is still there. They think its a software problem. I hope LG will release new software update on G2
To me that seems more like a hardware problem, not a software one.
Can you reproduce the problem at will?
Dude, I think you have a lemon...
Good luck!
It happened when i charged my phone with the screen is on and i always reading manga. maybe the screen is too sensitive. Yea i think this is hardware issue
I have used mine while connected and charging... Never had a problem with that.

You are running it completely stock? And you've done a factory reset? If so, it sounds to me like your phone is defective. These phones are so new it should still be under warranty, right?
Just got the same problem as OP last night and I've used it only for 1 month,so now I send my phone to LG service center and they said it was a hardware problem not sure which part but will reply here soon when I got my phone back and tell you all what's the problem... :angel:

Got a similar problem. I am unsure if I want to send it back for exchange or just keep it, as there are plenty of reports of owners exchanging G2's just to get another with the same problem. Looks to me to be a software issue - at least with my G2 - as I can get past it by just turning the screen off/on.
Let us know how your G2 turns out.

Lol just swapped it out. We will see how the new one does but so far way way better. Seriously my phone was horrible. I read and read thread after threads today and my case seemed way worse then everyone else's. Like most people's was tolerable, this was intolerable. I'd say 6 out of 10 times u turned on the screen it be messed up.
I showed the best buy mobile guy and he said without a doubt there's a problem. The best place for me to show him was the app drawer, if u held ur finger on the screen it would bounce and randomly select apps, we tried the demo unit and it worked perfectly.
Ill keep u updated on how this baby does.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Yikes - sorry to hear this.
I wondered if my first G2 was worse b/c I aggressively set it up right from the start: disabling apps I don't want, installing a bunch of apps, etc. On G2 #2, I didn't do that and although I've seen this issue surface on my new G2, it has been just a couple of times.
You need to use whatever phone you get the most enjoyment out of. The G2 undeniably has a software glitch that causes this PIA issue. Too bad it didn't work out for you. Good luck with your Note.
I hope LG addresses this issue SOON!!

Thank you, I hope it works out for you guys and they fix it. I love the phone and want it to work but it just isnt gonna happen right now. Im just gonna cancel my upgrade and I guess eat the $35 restocking fee which I think is crap but oh well.
Ill keep my eyes on the forum and may return to it if they fix the phone cause im not gonna use my upgrade right now. Besides this glitch the phonw is a beast. Good luck...

This happened to a few people here in Thailand. We are posting the issues on a group in facebook.
My iPhone 4s used to bounce all over the place when plugged in to charge.
My G2 hasn't had any hardware issues at all yet. I've had it going on 7 months now. Works perfectly.
My advice is that if you get a replacement or repair and it does it again, never get another LG product again. Just like me an Apple. I'm done with them. There's a guy here who wants his old Note 2 back. I know a guy who had 3 motherboards replaced on his Note 2. The last one broke the screen as the phone was swollen. There's no way of knowing. Its just the luck of the draw with these things.
When you get a really good phone, keep it and use it until it disintegrates. As long as this G2 is fine, I won't part with it for anything.
And yes. This is a hardware issue.

Maybe this can be replaced by the warranty service.
