So I accidentally depleted my phones battery low enough that when I plugged my phone in to charge it, it was blinking red. But it charged and is back working again, so its all good. But now when I turned my phone on, there's a Google watermark Almost on my screen. I've taken screen shots and looked at them on my computer and it didn't have it, so it much be the screen? Its in the same spot and size as the Google logo when you start up. I only let it charge for about an hour, and the first time I turned it on, it was on its charger and I didn't get the boot animation, the screen was off, I could tell because it was really black, if I display a black screen on my phone while its on, I can still tell its on because of the backlight. Did I break it... ?

It's definitely burned into the LCD, was the phone heated up when it happened? were you using intensive tasks? though, Either way it wouldn't matter. The only thing you could do about it currently is to take it back to LG for them to replace your screen.
What charger you used ? Stock ?
I'd give it about a week to return to normal.
The phone was warm, but not hot. I used stock charger and stock cable. Its actually gone already. I can't notice it at least.

Looks like a screen burn in.. You probably have really high brightness? Or your device was taking long during the boot up at the Google icon stage?

What? No amount of factory resets will fix LCD burn in.

This happened to me when an app required to restart my phone and a weird static image showed up on my screen. The Google logo was temporarily burned in. I shut the phone down for a few minutes, turned it back on and it was gone

Its a strain to read that crap... use real words spelled out correctly.
You probably pulled out the ribbon cable from the back of the screen.

Hello good sirs,
I am unsure as to what has happened, but my G2 screen has gone black. The phone still turns on, and i can hear it make noise but the screen will not come back on. The phone is rooted, but it was working fine until the battery died. Have any of you fine gentlemen experienced this issue?
There fixed
Lol

I had my battery die completly on me once. After i pluged it in, it acted as if bricked. No lights, no power, nothing. So i pulled the battery for 5-10 mins and then it worked again.
The phone doesn't charge while its booting up. Therefor if you let it die completely then plug it in it has to charge for a couple minutes before it can boot up again.

when you plug the phone in, the screen lights up..why? its so often you'd just plug in the phone and drop it on your bed, or charge it while driving trying to get back some % cause we all know it dies too fast anyway.. you need to press the lock button to get the screen off, otherwise itll just stay lit forever.. totally defeating the outpost purpose of charging it in the first place.. and if you go over a bump and the charger breaks connection and reconnects, it will light up and at the end of your drive it won't be anymore charged than when you started the drive.. I, can't believe nobody is tackling this issue, but yet we have a fix for the phone vibrating when its done charging..

No one is tackling it because maybe your the only one with the issue? Easy to blame other people for not fixing problems isnt it?
Like the post above me. When I plug it in, screen dims then goes off.
really? how long is, your screen set to dim for? "dim after ... " setting, on both firmwares I tried I get this issue

30 seconds.
I remember this was happening to me when I first got the phone a month ago. Seems to be working fine now though...
Since then I've upgraded to KE2 and then KE7, so perhaps that fixed it. I used to use a longer screen timeout though so maybe I just never gave it enough time to shut off.
im on KE2 and the screens turns off when charging after exactly 1 min, as i set it to
I think the question/wish of the OP is that the phone shouldn't come on when plugged in, if it's on standby, which is annoying nonetheless.
So, here is what has happened to my Nexus 7. It worked flawlessly for a few weeks after I bought it. I installed the daily show app and it still worked fine. Went to a friends house to play cards and had the 7 in my pocket. A few hours later I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen was black with random pixels and lines flashing in random colors. I just let it sit there for about 10 minutes, then tried a re-boot. It rebooted fine but the message "Unfortunately the daily show has stopped" or something like that. It then worked ok (I removed the app) but still does the random black screen thing and sometimes shuts off when I want it to only be asleep (annoying when I use it as my morning wake up alarm). I can't believe the app itself was the problem. My guess is maybe it overheated and got damaged by running while in my pocket? I didn't have a pattern to unlock it, only the circle to slide, so I can imagine that it might have started while in my pocket somehow. Should I try and get a new nexus 7 or is there something I can do? random reboots and shut offs are not cool...
you say you had it in your pocket...did you by chance sit on it?

haha. no. I thought about that right away, however it was in my front pocket. in addition to which physically it looks the same (i.e. no obvious bends or warping on the surface)
thats odd maybe the app has caused it to over heat and that can cause data corruption. I would try to reset it back to factory or if your on a custom rom.. Restore a previous backup in cwm... If still no luck..
go all the way back by wipe and factory rom new download...
Hope you get it resolved.. Keep Your tablet out of your pocket... Get a nice purse. Giggles. well or shoulder bag..
Good job it wasn't the Jeremy Kyle show, That kills everything.
How long does AT&T give you to be able to return a phone or exchange it? Mine is starting to malfunction. The touch screen is not responding so I cant unlock it, then the screen started flashing green and going into a blank TV channel looking screen.

Ok, now the screen is black and non responsive. The power button on the side does turn it on and off, but there is no picture at all.
Rooted? Rom? Any mods?

I was running Omega 5.0, Ktoonez kernel. The lock screen wouldn't recognize any touches to the screen, so I restarted it, then I got flashes of green and other static looking screen, the it would clear up, then it booted to lockscreen but still no touch. Restarted a couple more times, now it boots but there is no screen at all. I do get the blue LED, and the 2 capacitive buttons light up. The power button appears to turn it on and off, but no screen.
Change kernels. Different rom. Sounding like a combination isn't working well for you

I guess I could flash with Odin? What do you think about if I have to return it? Flash stock, but how would I wipe the internal data if I cant see anything on the phone?
Can you get to recovery?

no the screen does not work whatsover, its not a brick as far as I can tell its, a non working screen.

You might have a defect. Take the battery out and let it sit for 24 hours. If it still doesn't work contact AT&T for a Samsung warranty replacement.
You have 15 days for an in-store return or exchange. After that you call them and they cross ship you new or refurb.
You really should try to restore to stock first if possible. But I see that may not be possible.

I will check it again tomorrow. I did already call warranty. They are sending a new one. They only send the phone; no back, no battery, no box, nothing. Just the phone. They said keep everything removable.

I think Dolphin 10.0 screwed things up. I turned on my S3 transferred my SIM card over and my apps started updating. Both phones got messed up when Dolphin browser 10 installed. Almost the same kind of thing happened to my S3. I booted to cwm, wiped data and did a fresh install. Restored apps with Titanium Backup, but this time did not let Dolphin update. Haven't had a problem since on my S3. My S4 is still hosed. Burned out screen.

That prob means your getting a refurb. And at&t's return policy is 14days..day of purchase counting as day 1.

Well the phone does everything normal except have a screen that lights up, so there is no display. Since I can connect it to my PC, I went into it and saved/deleted things manually. Then I was able to flash it with Odin back to stock. So at this point it is at the setup screen as far as I can tell. It actually seems to respond to touch now, but you cant see anything. I opted for paying 14 bucks for rush shipping 1-2 business days. At worst it should be here tomorrow. Good thing I have my S3 and S2 still.
Hey guys. My girl dropped her phone in a cup of water. Halfway the phone was in it. So the screen wont come off but the led blinks red. I have the phone on a bowl of rice. Been there for 12 hours. Still wont come on but it vibrates and the red light blinks. I was wondering if that is what would called lights of death? So what you guys recommend? Leave the phone on rice more time? Open it?

Blinking red light means the battery is too low to start the phone up

You might as well clean up any moisture that might be present inside while you're doing that
You're fault for having a girl
You'll probably have to replace a few things. Check YouTube for an N4 teardown video.
Alternatively, you could sell it for about $150 on eBay and cut your losses.

Forgot to mention. Kids talk your childish comments somewhere else. The screen wont come on. Will put it on charge all night tonight. I was just wondering if the phone can be save though the led light comes on. Then the phone should be fine right?

If it does get past the red light, you may still have more issues with the device, but it should at least attempt to boot.

Cant get past the red light. Its been 5 days now and now the red light flashes when its plugged in. Not sure if it will ever come to life. I tried to go into recovery and nothing. I wonder if its bricked completely. But its a shame that I couldnt save it. Maybe a JTAG repair may fix it
You might have to do the fix where you open the phone and manually charge the battery. Someone posted a link to that thread in this thread already, just go to the 1st post of that thread.
