total freeze, screen turns a greenish hue with horizontal lines

Anyone else seen their epic do a hard lockup where the screen turns a greenish hue and there are feint horizontal lines across the screen? The only way out of it is a battery pull. I've never seen it before (had this epic since december), and it's done it twice in 24 hours.
Not sure what might be causing it. I'm on bonsai 3.0.1 but I'm not sure if that's contributing or not.

That actually happened to me 2 nights ago and caused me to oversleep... luckily it has only happened once. I was running bonsai 3.0.1 as well.

yup, me too. Happened when running deodexed stock eb13. But happened when I was overclocked to 1.2

The day after I installed Bonsai 3.0.1, my Epic locked up, the screen took on a strange, very dark, purply color that was hard to look at, and half my face got badly sunburned -- just like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Hope it doesn't happen again!

[Q] Flashing yellow light?? Weird Nexus issue.

Sorry if this thread already exists, but the ones I found weren't really spot on with my situation. Last night I remember my N4 was at about 50% so I didn't throw it on the charger. And when I woke up I saw s yellow flashing light, I just thought it was Snapchat, but when I tried to unlock the phone it wouldn't respond. :crying::crying: I just did a hard reset and everything is fine, but I just wanted to know if anyone knew what happened? And if this could happen again.
P.S. My phone was at 2% when I rebooted it.

Hmmm.... That situation seems a lot more serious than mine. But thanks so much! I'll keep my ear to the rail and be more cautious.

touch screen problems?

I have a small line on my screen that is unresponsive. It goes straight across the top of the screen exactly where the install button is in the play store (about 1" from top of screen at roughly 1/4" thick). Its in a pretty awkward spot and causes a lot of problems. For some reason it has also disabled the tap to wake feature of my phone.
I installed the "Touch Test" app which shows that my entire touch screen is working. However it shows the phone recognizing 2 pointers (touches) being active whenever I touch that area of my screen. I've been having this problem for 2 or 3 months now and all of a sudden today on my lunch break it went away. I was able to tap to wake the screen (worked perfectly the 20 or so times I attempted it), I was also able to hit the install button in the play store and life was great... Or so I thought. A few hours later on my next break my phone went back to annoying piece of junk that I completely dislike using.
Now I dont know exactly when this started happening. I did notice it sometime soon after the 4.4 update, and flashing a custom rom/kernel has made no improvement. Anyone got any ideas? I loved this phone before this started, and my phone is so frustrating now that I completely disrespect the thing and have scratched the crap out of the screen. I'm really hoping this can be fixed so I can go on with enjoying whatever life I have left with the g2, if not I'll probably just abuse it until it breaks then switch over to a water proof z2 or something along those lines... Phone was very well taken care of before the problem started, wasnt dropped or exposed to water (other then using outside in the rain for a few min at a time)

I have this problem too, any fixes?

Well I am in shock as to how we all have the same exact problem.
I first thought it was hardware failure on the screen itself and was pretty bummed. But now I see people have the exact same unresponsive touch screen in the exact same spot as mine? What ROM/Kernel are are you guys running? I am running what is in my sig and had not noticed it before until a couple of days ago. Coupled with the unresponsiveness, my Knock on does not work and the phone becomes mildly warm faster than usual. I think it might be a kernel software issue.

Ugh... I was hoping this wouldn't turn in to this big of a problem. I've got the same thing here, VS980 after flashing a Cloudy ROM.
I took over a thread here recently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52858791 , but I'll post here again anyways. I wonder if it's the same spot with you guys too. It's right where the install button is on the Play Store, right? For a few hours after it started it went back to normal, then messed up again permanently.
TOT'ing back to 12B didn't help, so I got a replacement device from Verizon. I've yet to send back my old one because I'm worried about the unrooted flag in the bootloader and settings.
I don't have enough posts yet to be able to do this, but can someone alert a dev about this? Particularly in the thread of whatever ROM it was that you last used? A lot of people in the last thread said it came from Cloudy, and I figured it might make sense as Knock Code was supposed to be a feature on there even though the VS980 source wasn't out. Then again I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'd love to hear from someone who does.

I dont think my blacked out area is quite as thick as yours but yes its in the exact same place. To confuse things even more my phone just started working properly again (for how long is another story). Its very odd that It hasnt worked once in 2 months or so and now twice in 2 days its started working.
As a side note I'm pretty sure I started having this problem immediately or very shortly after the OTA kitkat update. I'm now running cloudypro II 2.0 with 3.4.0 kernel, which as i said before didnt fix the problem in the 1 month ive been using this rom.
I originally thought it may have been a software issue, but for it to randomly start/stop working all of a sudden after so long of no function (with no software being added or changed) I'm thinking its more likely a hardware problem? When I fly home on Monday I'm going to try opening up the phone and cleaning the contacts to the from the touchscreen to the mainboard.
If it is software related it may have something to do with air plane mode. I get almost no signal where I'm working at the moment and the constant searching for signal kills my battery pretty fast so I've started using air plane mode the past few days. Thats the only thing out of the ordinary that i've done software wise.

Having the same issue!!
Has anyone found a solution ?

Yes, we've sent it to LG for repairs and they were able to fix it easily.

Sfkn, was your phone rooted when you sent it to them? I'm having the same issue, and it either started happening today, or I just noticed it today, but it's bugging the crap out of me. I'm running stock kk, rooted with twrp and on the cloudyfa kernel.

Had the same today but at the middle of the screen, I pressed on the corners and around the screen pretty hard and it is back to normal(for now).
Hope it wont come back.
You can unroot the device by flashing original rom with LG flash tool.

No, I am completely stock.

Yeah I used the LG mobile support tool and that unrooted it. Now I'm just waiting for my replacement phone to arrive.

You claimed insurance rather than with LG repair?

I went with T-Mobile's warranty replacement. I already sold my backup phone so I couldn't send the phone to LG for repairs and still have a phone

A little help please.....!

Hi,
I drop my G2 and the screen broke, i sent it to some guy to put a new one.
He put it on and it worked ok but then some vertical lines showed up because of the screen type as happened some time ago in some roms.
If i reflash the rom, will it solve the problem and it will detect the correct screen type?
Big thanks!!

No one?

I have read comments about some replacement screens being incompatible and having problems. Therefore I think it's probably a good idea to stick to a OEM replacement screen, such as one that came from a working phone.

LG V20 Screen retention

Hello, just thought I would post here about my V20. I bought my V20 on the night of November 10, and loved using it ever since. It replaced my Droid Turbo 2, which was a meh phone for me. Up until last week, I had no issues whatsoever with the V20, at all. Then, last week I could tell there looked to be some thick orange lines on the left and right sude of the phone, from top to bottom. I thought it was probably nothung, so I ignored it. The next day it was gone, until that night, and it was back again, and the line on each side were thicker than before. I now knew that this probably was an issue, but still ignored it. Over the next few days, it got worse, when the top status bar started showing the PM and time in the same place, when the clock wasn't showing, notifications were on the screen when they shouldn't be, and even the second screen started getting my signature burned into the display (though it wasn't burned, since it goes away after a while.) The button bar on the bottom of the screen will burn in as well, as it has started to a couple days ago. Anyone else experiencing this? Have any tips? Thanks

Darn, thanks for the help. I will probably take it in for warranty though, otherwise if it happens again, I will replace the screen like you said.

Awesome, thank you very much. I will put it on tomorrow morning

So, how is screen retention going?
I start noticing it in my 3 months old phone. It's not new for me since I had the LG G4.
