Lines on screen - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Keep reading around these forums and been seeing this pop up now and more, people are getting lines on their screen even after reflashing. What's the cause and fix of this?
So far people were thinking it was Cm but also read reports on it for twrp.
Any ideas?

Wich rom are you in? With several roms (as it was with ICSGS, fixed in newer releases) it can be a common software issue. How exactly is the "flicker"?

Oh sorry I was using tapatalk and didn't see the sig. Most likely to be a software issue, don't worry! I'm on ICSSGS, and it should have it already fixed, but still happens now and then... Don't know if it's the same kind of flicker, but it definitely seems software, and even more if you are using a custom ROM... Have you search in your ROM's thread if anyone else have the same problem?

Lines flash on screen

Occasionally, a horizontal or vertical line flashes on the screen very quickly and then disappears. Does anybody else have that? Is it anything to worry about, or does it not matter? Is it likely that a software update will fix this?
Thanks for any replies!
First, are you running a custom kernel or stock?

I have not rooted my device. I have flash installed and Iplayer, but apart from that all my apps come directly from the Google appstore...

Damn it! I was seeing this on occasion and hoped that if I just thought I was crazy I wouldn't have to acknowledge it. Now I see it's not my imagination. It happens only rarely and it's really just a blip, but it is indeed weird. I just unlocked/rooted last night though so I'll have to see if it still happens now...
Always happens to me, really only noticeable on mostly white screens like in xda app.

First device had this issue, took it back (for many reasons), and have not noticed that little "subliminal" black line anymore.
Happens to me too, so far only seen it in the xda app, and in my browser while waiting for a Page to load that is taking a while.... I'm currently waiting for an exchange because I have a slight screen lift issue, but I doubt it will fix this black line problem, it is probably standard on these things. I guess I can live with it

I get it like once every 10 hours or so and only when using xda app or chrome for some reason.

Yep, I see it with tapatalk. Haven't noticed it with anything else just yet.

I also get it a lot when playing an online chess game. It seems related to the apps used. Don't know what to make of it...

Could it be a memory leak or a GPU rendering issue as some have suggested? Many of us get this on the stock ROM with no developer menu changes.
I notice it too. I thought I was seeing things. It is not serious enough to give a crap though. I just hope it does not evolve into a worse issue.
It probably has to do with spotty Tegra drivers. I noticed it slightly on Chrome, but never on anything else.

I've seen this quite a bit also. Seems most prevalent for me when I'm using the GPS Status & Toolbox app from EclipSim, except in that app the lines are white.
I think you guys are referring to screen tearing. I have seen it a few times to I think in chrome. Pretty sure its not a hardware problem.

I haven't noticed it at all on the nexus. I have had this issue on my tf201 though.

Hmmm... seems this thread should be combined with the other regarding the same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791281
Yeah I get this too I'm hoping its a software issue it doesn't happen often but I seem to only notice it on tapatalk or the Facebook app. I haven't seen it on games or videos.

I see this on occasion with the xda app. I haven't seen it all using anything else. I'm no overly concerned.

I get that in Tapatalk once in a while. I would guess its a coding thing and not a device defect.

Screen 'color spill/leak' issue.

Hi all,
I'm not sure what to call this issue and I haven't seen it before, please point me in the right direction if it's elsewhere, I honestly am not sure what to search for.
I noticed today that I suddenly have this odd "leak" of color in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Sort of a small patch of orange. Tried to take a photo with my Nexus 4 but it's quite hard to make out on camera. Any idea what this is? Is it definitely hardware? Reckon it can be returned? I haven't done anything to cause the issue.

They seem like semi stuck pixels.. try a pixel fixer from the market and see what happens.

Thanks for that, forgot to reply at the time but it seemed to help/fix it but it's returned now and doesn't seem to be helping.
I'll leave it a while see what happens before flashing new stuff, it it's still there I guess I'll try return it.

Owner info disappearing from lock screen

Is anyone else having the problem where the owner information is not appearing on the lock screen? (not the personal message, that is working ok for me)
Mine will be there after a reboot, but sometime over the next few hours it will stop appearing on the lock screen. A reboot will make I appear again.
Not sure if it is an app conflict or a system bug that may get fixed in a future update.
Thanks,
Rich

I have the same problem. I searched some other forums. There seems to be a lot of people having the same problem. However, I could not find any decent solution.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. My info stays for a couple of days or so after a reboot, then it just disappears. I was wonder if that was my phone's way of telling me it's time for a reboot, but I was doing a search on it in case there was something else to keep it from happening. Right now I'm treating it like a "Check Engine" light.
Weird, it happens to mine as well.. I didn't notice until I read this thread and had a look! Very strange..

S Pen issue

For some reason my Note 3 will only vibrate when I remove my s pen. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is and my web searches have come up empty handed. Has anyone else suffered from this and said you get it fixed? Thanks

Out of curiosity in Settings under s pen have everything checked off and enabled?

Yes sir I sure do. That's why i was stumped as to why I was getting no sound.

The main reason why you haven't received replies is because... this is the General section of the site; not the Q&A. As for your issue, I would do a factory reset since it, honestly, sounds like a software issue. You could also try a different S Pen before doing that, other than that, I'm not sure what else might be causing it.
