[Q] Why did I lose screen brightness/colour after flashing? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I got myself a LG G2 (d802 international) yesterday and after playing around with the stock LG software for 10mins before rooting/roming.
During this 10minute play around I was blown away by the G2's screen it was bright/colourful and crisp. I had two Nexus 5's next to it which also looked similar/great.
However since flashing the Roms (2 CM nightlies and Paranoid Android) my screen looks pretty bad. It's dull and dark and now looks really bad when next to the N5's and my old Note 2.
I played around with CM's autobrightness settings and even installed some alternate LUX brightness apps off the store. However it still looks poor.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar? I'm thinking of reflashing the stock ROM tonight to see if I get the brilliant screen back but I'd much rather stay with AOSP in the long run.
Cheers.

LG made a lot of software screen calibrations. These will be lost when not on a stock based rom.

Ahh ok bummer, so looks like it's a bit of a compromised choice to make.
I'm suprised no one else really seemed to phased about it in the development threads as it was the first thing I noticed on the first reboot.
Back on my Note 2 there was custom kernels which included display tweaks, I'm presuming something similar may evolve in G2 land?

I believe there is colour control in wootever kernel.

Does anyone else have a misaligned touch screen?

Is anyone else having a slight misalignment on the touch screen?
For me touch is shifted about a millimeter or two to the right.
I've checked on both my N4 and my sister's N4 and both of us seem to be having this slight misalignment.
Both of us have REV 11 N4's. One was obtained through T-Mobile in January, the other was obtained through Google Play just last month.
I've checked on a few roms. I've tried CM, PA, and Stock with a multitude of different kernels (Franco, Faux, Trinity, CM, and stock).
To check:
1. Enable "Show touches" under the Developer menu.
2. Touch a part of the screen where you'll be able to see the touch bubble and hold it there.
3. Look at the screen at angle to see under your finger.
It's not a big deal, just something I've noticed when I had difficulty trying to use PIE on the left side of the screen. Although, I still would love to be able to get the screen recalibrated to have more accurate touch sensitivity to eliminate the difficulty that I have with CM's PIE.
Another question: Is anyone aware of any LG diagnostic tool to calibrate the screen? I remember back on the HTC sensation there was a file that you could load through HBOOT and get your screen calibrated from there.

Oh wow I never noticed this , I have the same thing, never really had problems with it

I thought I was just trippin when I noticed the same thing last week
Just tested and confirmed, pretty significant misalignment by about 1 cm, which is a LOT when you're talking about a <5" touch screen..
My next thought is, is this a software issue?
We need more people to test and confirm. But I believe that is what we will find. Software issue.
Anyone with a Nexus 7 on stock 4.2.2, please also test and report.
Wow never thought anyone else was experiencing this, mine seems to be off since I always have to touch a little higher than what I'm going for even nav bar.

I would think that it's a software issue. My HTC sensation was able to have it's screen recalibrated. I think LG would have some kind of tool to be able to do it.
Same exact issue here but I wouldn't even notice if I didn't try

Really need some help setting this thing up

Help everyone. After a brief affair with the iPhone 5 this dinner, I have returned to Android via the Samsung Galaxy S 4.
Only problem is the bezels. They are too thin!! I literally can't type on this thing. Its not the size of the screen, I used to run a note, it's the bezels. Mainly the bottom one.
At the moment I run the GPE ROM. This is all fine and dandy, I'm loving the Nexus 4 like experience. But I miss the on screen buttons. They brought the bottom bezel size up significantly, making the typing experience amazing. I need that on this phone. But I also don't want the capacitive buttons. Luckily they dissapear when not lit up. And I found a flashable script to disable their functionality. I just need to find a ROM as stable as the GPE ROM and with on screen buttons and IR support like the GPE ROM.
Does anyone have any ideas? Other than the typing issue I like the phone. It's not nearly as comfortable as the 4.7" screen of the Nexus but its usable and really my only choice to get back to my Android home.
Thanks!

My girlfriend had the exact same problem and he's right - there are some great ROMs on there that will have exactly what you're looking for. There are some that coincide with the haptic buttons and some that are stand alone and do not use them at all.
Some can be found at:

You can also find more by searching for specific ones.

You should give Task's AOKP a try. He works really hard to make sure it is as stable as possible, and you can activate the on-screen buttons.

One last question, is vibration alerts like really weird on this phone? Not just the ROM, I mean the phone in general. The vibrator is extremely loud, doesn't buzz very well, and with notifications it'll either go off in three very strange bursts or two very short bursts.
This is nothing like my iPhone, nexus 4, galaxy bite 10.1, or really any device I've ever used.
You might think I'm being really picky, but I just want to make sure this is normal

So, this ROM is amazing!!! Well I just have one small issue, the nav bar covers up the bottom portion if NY screen, so typing in the message fields in the Messages app doesn't work, and I can't see the footer in most web pages in Chrome.
Other than that, wow! Smoothest ROM I've ever used! With Dynamic Notifications from the play store the ROM is literally perfect, once I figure out the NavBar issue and how to disable the capacitive buttons (the flashable script I found didnt work :/)

A couple of things:
1. Keep in mind, using Dynamic Notifications on an Android 4.2 rom will result in battery drain while the notification is active. An Android 4.3 rom would be better for that, since it has the new "NotificationListenerService" feature.
2. For disabling the capacitive buttons, it might be worthwhile to move to a rom that has full hardware key rebinding. I'm a big fan of SlimBean. There is a settings screen that lets you choose exactly what each of the buttons does, and you can just set it all of them to "none", and then disable button backlighting in Display settings.
SlimBean has it's own look and feel, because the DPI is very low and the Slim logo is inserted a few places. All of this can be changed, though, if you prefer a more stock experience.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions; I'll be happy to help.

I switched as well. Loved the HTC, thought it would hold me over past my normal 4 months. I was wrong, lol. Was and is a great phone. The g2 is better in my opinion. But comes with tradeoffs depending on your likes. Boom sound, miss them, but adjusted quickly, and believe it or not, I actually liked and miss blink feed. But taptu is a cool news app that you can incorporate all news you like. Phones are almost same size but yet. 5 difference in screen size. Screen is phenomenal on this phone, battery, forget it, I get average 25 hrs with 4 hrs plus screen time and plenty of calling, 2 push emails, loads of texts. Hard to kill battery. So basically, I was weary as well, made the change, and am very satisfied with this device.
And another one who switched from the ONE. Only regretting it a little bitregarding to HTC's update Speed but overal I'm happy with the G2.
The package what the G2 offers is pretty good and you can't go wrong as long you don't mind waiting a little bit longer for Updates

G2=best phone on the market ATM. But I guess it all depends on what makes a phone best to you. G2 has got everything going for it besides the actual feel. I hate this slippery *****.

After 5 warranty returns (purple camera), at&t offered to exchange my One for another device. I chose the G2. I've been using it for the last day now, and am really contemplating on keeping it. It comes with a great amount of useful software features (notification while charging! Tap screen to wake..and more.) Obviously the audio is not as good, but I don't spend a lot of time watching movies or anything on my phone, so I can get over that!
Battery life seems to be incredible thus far.
I am also pretty happy with the camera as well. The colors look sharp. I think people look a little washed out or cartoonist on the screen in indoor lighting , but the stock app does some processing afterwards correct it. I'd like to post some camera shots to compare since I still have my One. It is Thanksgiving tho, so perhaps tomorrow ?
One negative I will bring up is the auto brightness. I don't know if others have this since I'm new to this device, but auto brightness doesn't seem to work very well, so I downloaded Lux from play store and it works great. So it must be LG 's logic

Auto brightness on stock blows. Very slow and wonky. Lux app removed the problem for me. Even on my last 3 lg devices, the auto brightnes was slow and sucked. Expected it.

[Q] Is LG G2 worth buying?

Hi all,
I'm thinking to buy a new smartphone and im between nexus 5 and lg g2, i saw many issues about the g2 but i just wanted to ask if there are fixed with the last updates for this phone... i love camera and i saw that the camera was better at g2, can someone help me which one to choose?
Thanks.
Which kind of problems did you read about? Tell me so I can help you.
I'm loving this phone but if you're after the latest and greatest then waiting for the s5 will be better for you.

Weigh out the pros and cons. In the end, it really comes down to what you want. I suggest playing with both of them in a best buy store since they have the Nexus 5 in the Google section.

Those issues are not widespread from the post you provided. I don't have most of those issues. IMO, G2 is a step up from Nexus 5. Nexus 5 definitely can't compete with the battery of the G2, or the camera. Also, stock Android is overrated if you ask me. Not every single feature of the G2 is useful, but most of them are. The Nexus 5 hardly has anything special about it.

I'll let you gain insight into my experience with this device.
Bad voice calls are not an issue. My voice calls are really loud and clear and I use quite some time doing calls. Gps usually locks within a few seconds if I'm about the same position and even when I'm not, it takes no longer than 10 seconds to lock my position.
Regarding that post : well you read how the solution to all those problems was to get a replacement because it's simply not normal for the g2. I do have the stuttering issue with xda-developers app. I don't know why this occured, it wasn't there from the beginning.
That said, do NOT expect upgrades for the G2. If you choose to buy it, you acknowledge to stay on 4.4 (once we receive it) because LG are really bad with updating their phones. If you intend on flashing custom ROM then it shouldn't bother you. Stock is awesome though and has a lot of features.
My two cents

No, it isn't, yes, it is.
Thanks for the answers and suggestions, still dont know what to do will way a bit...
To me, the LG G2 was worth buying. First phone I chose to go back to stock Rom. After the KitKat update, I'll re-root for sure, but probably stay on stock Rom.
Gosh, I love this phone, it has so many features!

I have had this device for 2 days coming from an HTC one which died
The htc one is a beautiful device with build quality second to none however, my new G2 has excellent build quality too IMO despite many opinions to the contrary. I intended not to root my device (skygo requires an un-rooted device) but yesterday I went ahead and did so for one reason and one reason only - so that I could use GMD auto hide soft keys pro - an app which enables you to utilise the whole of the screen all of the time.
Now I have a beautiful 5.2 inch screen in a device that is the same size as my previous HTC one which only had 4.7 inches of screen estate. I am very, very happy with my new device in comparison to my previous one which, incidently, cleaned up in the best mobile device awards.
Its down to you lol. I was in the same boat as you but went for the G2. Better battery and bigger screen. Hopefully the 4.4 update will bring a better camera. I think nexus 5 camera is better mainly because it focuses much much quicker. Got my G2 for the same price as a nexus 5

G2 is definitly worth of buying.
i had the N5 before my G2, and the G2 is far better. The battery life is about double that of the N5, i get on average 6 hrs screen time per day. Also the rear buttons are amazing!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

I had my G2 rooted too (even flashed Hellfire Rom). But first step was to restore stock Rom and finally I flashed stock software to unroot and reset my device to be prepared for the official OTA update. After the KitKat update, I'll root again to optimize this awesome phone with Xposed modules and Romtoolbox Pro.
But this is just for fun. Basically, the LG G2 is so full of features out of the box together with great hardware that rooting let alone flashing is nothing you have to do to make the G2 awesome. Because it's awesome by nature...

My brother has the 5 and i have the g2. the funny thing - we both love our phones but we do like each others a little more.
Nexus 5 - P/C's: google created and always up to date, no bloatware, feels a bit better in my hand, [IMO] takes better pictures but the UI leaves many things to be desired, lower battery life. If I had the nexus 5, I'd feel like i would no reason to use a custom ROM, just root and xposed
G2 - P/C's: dat screen size, buttons on the back [if you like that], good battery life, stock bloatware isnt that bad, and the UI as a whole isnt bad, you can get ALMOST the exact feel of the n5 with a kit kat rom [but all the rom related issues ]. I like my g2 but just wish we could get kit kat out officially so I can just root and xposed and i like the blinking button on the top rather than bottom
G2... I love this phone. I have yet to root this thing and I have no complaints. Call quality is great, wifi and 4G perform wonderfully, I noticed that the phone switches between the various modes (4g, 2g, etc) really quickly and I rarely have issues surfing the web. The camera is awesome, the speakerphone is adequate, no buttons on the sides of the phone is awesome, and I prefer the G2 location of the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone. Battery life is insane! I've gone two full days with moderate use (down to 2% before I plugged the phone in), and with heavy use I get at least 28 hours before I see the battery get into the 10-20% range. Finally I can hand my daughter my phone so she can keep herself busy for an hour or so and not worry about having enough juice to make it through the rest of the day.
All of the included apps have added useful features and it seems that they have pulled some of the best/favorite tweaks and made them part of their default app suite. For the first time in quite sometime, I have not felt the need to root or modify the phone, save for that Android soft key bar at the bottom of the screen, I hate that thing. I might root just to run an app that removes it.
I'm not a person that likes to root, i will use it as it is, with stock rom, it's enough to have good call quality, to feel productive with it and have no lag, feeling good in hand, and battery life of course , i'm a designer and i need good camera, and i think it has a great one. thanks all for the comments, i'm going with G2.

[Q] Choosing my Rom

Hello everybody
Ok, so in the next days i will buy my next smartphone, the problem its i am in the middle of 2 choices. I like the battery life of G2 and the amazing screen :victory: but i dislike the UI from LG. And here i need your help. I love the stock rom from Nexus 5, i really love it, and i want help to find a similar rom to G2 like the Nexus have, with all the features from kitkat (now google when slide to left, the icones, the black defenitions menu) and still have the features from G2 like Knock On, IR Blaster and the great performance.
Thanks in advance for all your help
Cyanogenmod our kk Roms aren't very stable yet but flashing a custom kernel I would go with the nexus 5 because most likely you will get a g2 with kk and it won't be rootable and not only that sensors tend to go bad and knock on/off will mess up and your screen will constantly turn off just root nexus 5 and install greenify or freeze the app with tb I'm getting a nexus 5 or an oppo find 7 whichever I can afford nexus 5 in my oppinion nexus 5 is superior not as much hardware to go bad go with the nexus 5

What are you talking about? The 'sensor' is the screen.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
No it uses a sensor just above the screen if you have knock on enabled try rubbing where the sensors are,the screen will turn on on mine one of the sensors on mine the sensor is messed up its sad saying I've had it only a month

Is a better (stable OS) option to get a Nexus 5 instend of get a G2 and install a costum rom like Nexus have?
stock theme for ls980 is gorgeus
Yep it is nexus 5 is the better option I'm getting a 32gb red nexus 5 and going to install cm on it the battery issues will be fixed in the next update and I'm sure its fixed with custom kernel's

It will be better then get the Nexus 5 instead of getting the g2 and install a rom?
Yes the nexus 5 is a better device just because of official Google support if you want out if the ordinary battery life g2 is the way to go I'm getting a nexus 5 because 2 sensors on my g2 are bad making the screen go crazy its really bad on stock better on custom ROMs but still there nexus 5 dissent have as many sensors and frankly lg doesent know how to make a product without at least 10,000000000000000 bugs battery life on the nexus 5 isn't the greatest but Google is working on a fix about time they did

But with a rom on G2 wont solve some problems like the screen issue?
Im really sad seeing that G2 is a great phone but LG manage to ruin it with that poor UI... If in any chance the G2 had the software like the Nexus have then i never have any questions to choose.
