Hi All;
My screen seems to have stopped working as of yesterday... the centre of the screen when off now has an odd pattern to it, almost like when you rub two pieces of glass together and there is some water between them. The phone is rooted, but I suspect this is more than likely a hardware issue (as in my screen is p00ned...). Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello,
I just got my nexus 4 yesterday. I have one major problem, when I'm having a phone call, I am not able to turn on the device (to check anything in the phone or even to close the phone call!). If I click the power button, the screen turns on and off instantly as if something is getting close to the proximity sensor.
How can I fix this? (I'm thinking if there is a way to disable the proximity sensor during the call?)
Nexus 4 16GB running stock 4.2.2 (latest)
Do you have a screen protector on it, without the sensor cutout?? i use to have the same issue...but later found out it was due to my screen protector

I do have a screen protection.. I placed it to align perfectly with the camera hole. It's made to be on the sensor so I figured it should not interfere. I'll try cutting a part of it to test.
Problem fixed after removing screen protection. New problem: I need a screen protection now.
My s5 screen not turning on. Everything else works but screen. There is no visible damage or cracks whatsoever. Any fix?
Hi
Try to unlock and lock the phone, maybe as many as 20 times. Does the screen turn on in any try?
Hi,
has anyone experienced screen tearing issues?
When I am using some apps I get maybe part of the screen black for a very short time.
8.0, rooted.
Hey guys, just got LG V35 updated it to android Pie, everything seemed fine, but i can't normally unlock phone. On main screen i can double tap and it locks, however double tapping again, doesn't unlock phone, as if screen froze. Also fingerprint button doesn't work either, i mean i need to press it twice slowly and only then screen turns on and shows lock screen, always on display also doesn't work. After simple restart those features work, but after a minute, same thing happening again. Also noticed, that if someone calls, screen is also unresponsive. Got phone couple days ago. Any solution ?

i had the same issue when i got mine. i think the screen protector i installed was the issue-it only had adhesive around the the edge and started to come off. i returned that one and replaced it with another make and haven't had the "knock on/off" issue since. good luck

I agree with tomdi1999 and also have used the adhesive around the edge screen protector but they interfered with screen touch sensitivity, it is as if having a couple of fingers touching the screen permanently while trying to double tap or unlock the phone via power button. If you have any glass screen protector, try removing the screen protector and double tap again to see if it fixes the issue. If you are not wanting to remove the screen protector first and want to do some troubleshooting, try run touch screen test via the hidden menu (assuming your v35 is AT&T version) by dialing *#546368#*350# (Be warned that some options in this menu can really mess up your phone so don't go around messing with options in this menu randomly) in the phone dialer. In hidden menu select Device Test -> SAAT -> Service Menu - Manual Test -> Touch Draw Test. If, with screen protector on you are having trouble doing this test, remove the screen protector, clean the screen, and do the test again. If you still have trouble with touch screen it is probably a hardware problem or could be software problem but unlikely though. Also, place a test call to someone and slowly place your hand to cover the ear piece and proximity sensor area to see if screen goes dark. This is to check if your proximity sensor is working properly because if it is not then it could be the reason that double tap to wake is not working, although it doesn't explain why your power button is responding slowly, that points toward the phone processor being busy due to ghost touches such as due to bad screen protector or just a faulty power button (but what are the chances of having a faulty power button and double tap to wake going bad at the same time lol?).
I remember that years back on LG G4 double tap function would stop working if you had the screen replaced or sent in the phone to LG for repairs such as repair for notorious bootloop issues and it turned out that there was a small rubber piece that went around the proximity sensor that people were forgetting to put back when replacing screen or doing other repairs which basically broke the proximity sensor. Proximity sensor is suppose to disable screen wake up due to accidental double taps such as when phone is in pocket but if proximity sensor is malfunctioning it will not let phone wake even when you double tap to wake it.
If you figure out what was wrong and/or fixed your issue, please do post back so it can help others. Thanks.
Edit: If you are looking for a good screen protector try Skinomi or Armor Suit wet screen protectors. They are not glass and are a pain to put on but once you install them and let them dry, they are awesome.
It helped me thanks a million!
wouldn't think ever it was the screen protector, thought one of my apps...
I've removed it and it was back to normal.
thanks again
