Screen gets distorted after turning it off - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys... weird issue here and have no idea how to fix it. Haven't been around the rooting scene for quite some time, so hoping this is an easy fix. I have a D801 4.4.2 from tmobile that I rooted with towelroot and then installed TWRP with autorec. After I did this, I started getting a distorted screen issue. The issue only occurs once I turn my screen back on after it times out. The screen turns multiple colors, with lines running through it. It's an overlay type of screen because you can faintly see the actual screen underneath, and well as having the screen still function. Tried to do research, but couldn't find anything. I attached a video of the issue. Thanks in advance!

[Q] Touch Screen issue on S4 i9505

So I've been having this weird behaviour of the touch screen on my S4 during games. When I'm needed to hold my finger on the screen for continuous gestures (like moving) sometimes the screen stops registering the touch (it's like I've lifted my fingure off the screen, but I haven't), so I have to lift my finger up and press the screen again to continue moving. It's happening really often and it's really annoying for a game like Super Hexagon where if you stop moving for a milisec you're dead. Don't think I've read anyone else having the same problem. I've been having this problem on the stock Jelly Bean 4.3, CM 11 Kitkat 4.4.2 and recently I put the unofficial stock 4.4.2 KitKat. Is it a hardware problem? Any help would be appreciated!

Reboot into recovery and do wipe cache/Factory reset and then Flash the kitkat leak once again via odin and check if the problem still persist. and if your problem still doesnt fix try to flash a stock 4.3 , it might be a bug or something since the 4.4 kitkat is just a leak.. have a nice day

I'll try that, thanks for the answer
I'm om 4.3 now, still the same. Almost all games are unplayable... I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem. Could the disabling of a service be causing this, cus I disable a lot of them.
edit: I found that pressing the screen a little bit too hard makes it unresponsive. Definitely hardware problem since I've changed screen glasses before. I'm losing hope for fixing this :/. Any suggestions?
What do you mean "Ive changed screen glasses before".

Well not me personally, a friend of mine owned the phone before me and I think he cracked it so he gave it for repairs to replace the screen glass, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the replacement glass.

[Q] LG G2 Screen Freeze (I'm starting to hate this phone)??

Hi guys
Something else that may be relevant is....
That it will always boot the LG logo so what ever is going wrong kicks in just after the LG logo
Even when the screen is completely dead i can get the lg logo up by holding the power button.
..
I've the same issue...
Hello Inked
I've exactly the same freezing on my D802 for more than one month now... And I have no idea what's happening too...
I brought it to a phone shop, he told me it's certainly a motherboard issue, he can repair it for 250€!... Way too expensive for me!
So, I decided to find a motherboard by myself and I don't find... I'm trying at this point to find the same phone with a broken screen to mix components.
It's a D802 32GB and it's quite rare in Europe unfortunatly.
So if someone has an idea how to fix this I'm at your disposal! And I can imagine it's the same for Inked.
I will try to post a video of the freezing problem tomorrow.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56259958&postcount=18. Read the guide to fix your phone
Are you sure it's the same issue?
Here is a video I've made of what's happening, the phone is not rooted (never been), flashed with rom stock EUROPE OPEN 20D, and hard reset:

Your touch screen have dead zones. Replace touch screen to fix. Use Quickmemo draw any thing on touch screen to see dead zones

I think touch screen is working because (it's not clear in the video) you can use the phone "normally" but the image stay frozen.
What do you guys think?
Inked_ said:
Thanks for all the replies Winking smile
I've tried using your link but when i try and click the “1. click here to view picture” link i just get a 404 error.
Having said that, its not that the screen has dead spots, the screen freezes and just looks like a screen shot until you turn the screen off for a few second and then turn it back on.

But as atchoop says the screen is freezing as if you have taken a screenshot and doesn't start working again unless you turn the screen off for a few seconds.
A bit of an update......
I got the same effect as yours during few weeks then it comes back as my video shows because (I think...) I didn't use the phone for a while.
But I still don't know if it's mainboard or screen...

Oneplus 5 Black screen after replacement

My OP5 screen had a small crack so I decided to repair it. After following the tutorial on youtube step by step the phone powers up fine. But as soon as the screen goes to sleep, it get stuck in black, although it feels like responsive (Ican hear the clicks and vibrates and all) but it wont wake up

Could you wake up the screen? Maybe it's a connection problem or related to the proximity sensor?
Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have exactly the same problem, but it happens only with Android 9.0. Oreo seems to be working OK, but as soon as I upgrade to official 9.0, the screen won't wake up from sleep. The backlight turns on, but the screen stays black. The phone works OK as long as I use it, but if I press the power button or let it to enter "standby mode", it will stay that way (off). I suppose it has something to do with the replacement screen, but since it works with 8.0, I wish there was a workaround to get the LCD to work with Pie too.
Same problem here. Replaced display too.
I've had a similar issue with a different device before (ZTE nubia Z7 mini). I replaced the screen and it would work correctly, but when I booted TWRP, I would get a black screen. I figured that because the replacement screen was not an OEM one, it may have something to do with LCD drivers in the recovery. I used the old cracked screen with the device opened up to navigate in the TWRP recovery, and I flashed an newer/different recovery. Voila, the new recovery worked with my replacement screen. Based on this experience, it may just be an LCD driver compatibility issue with the replacement screen, causing the screen to just go into forever sleep mode. The driver may need to be changed or tweaked in the Pie version for your replacement screen to work with it. Just a thought, not fully certain.

You're probably right about the driver issue. My OP5 has no problems whatsoever with Android 8.1, but 9.0 won't work no matter what I do after waking up the device. The backlight turns on and and off for a few times after which nothing happens. The phone is still working normally, but it's in "blind mode" (music will continue playing, volume buttons work...but they're kind of slow and laggy) Too bad that the latest update (9.01) didn't fix this issue either. I really wouldn't hold my breath getting this issue fixed anytime soon (officially) as it seems to be a cheap 3rd party screen problem.
edit: I tried the custom recovery (20181227) and the same thing happens there. Once screen goes off, it won't come back on.
Edit 2: gave up on the replacement screen and ordered an oem lcd. Lets see how it goes.

Do keep us updated if changing the display again fixes this issue. Would be interesting if someone had a fix for 3rd party displays but as of now it seems that's highly unlikely

Sure.
Got the new OEM amoled screen today. It's brighter, more responsive and doesn't get stuck (black screen) with Android Pie. Problem solved. Price was 3 x higher than the cheap 3rd party screens, but definitely worth it (around 80 euros). All screen gestures work as well.
Bought it on Witrigs (https://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-screen-assembly-for-oneplus-5-midnight-black). it came really well packed and arrived fast (7-10 days to Finland). I highly recommend this screen and Witrigs to everyone
Also changed the screen from a friend and have this strange behavior, that the screen won't turn on .. only when I reboot or double press the power button so it launches the camera - the delay tho is about 7s, which is insane! you guys think this is the screen problem, or did I damage something and if yes, what? I repaired about 100 phones in total already ..

Sounds a lot like my OP5 with cheap 3rd party screens which would hardly work at all with Android Pie. If your friend's phone is running on Pie, try downgrading it to Oreo and see if that helps. My phone worked moderately with Oreo but not at all with Pie (wake and touch issues). Currently my OP5 is running Android Pie perfectly with the screen that I bought on Witrigs.

Bizarre, have you tried the usual factory reset / rom reflash? If you confirm that its not a software related issue, then it probably is just the screen if its not an OEM part. Can't see what else would be the issue here unless there was other kind of damage before the repair maybe
Like @sbasil mentioned, it could just be due to the non-OEM screen being incompatible with Pie drivers.
Thank you for saving my phone

Mine not working with lineage base rom but is good with last pie 9.0.8. Did you try it?
Have this issue too
My OP5 has its original AMOLED screen. Running OS 9.0.8. This started happening after the most recent update. At least I never noticed it before.
I ran *#808# diagnostics, thinking maybe it's the proximity sensor, or the fingerprint scanner, but everything passed.
Also while locked, ambient display works. It's just getting the Home screen to appear after waking the phone that's become agonizing. And it does wake, the touch screen is responsive, it's just completely blind.
I mean consider this: I can take a screen shot, a screen shot, while the screen is in ambient display and the screen shot is of the home screen.
Pressing the power button or home button or notification slider repeatedly sometimes coaxes it to appear, but the only sure way to get the Home screen back is to restart the phone.
I had a black screen issue after changing the screen to an OEM AMOLED one, and after tearing my hair out for a couple of hours, I discovered that turning off " night mode" fixed the problem instantly
Same happened to me... cracked screen, purchased 'OEM screen' installed. Some apps work, some just black screen.
Driver issue? Running Pie 9x. Anyone had success with this by dropping back to Oreo? Would it do anything different to flash the Pie Firmware?
I repair/upgrade OnePlus 3/3T/5/5T phones to donate to families in need at the local family shelter. Some of them have lost or had to sell their phones just to get food and such. Now they need one to arrange job interviews and housing, things of that nature. So anyways, all that to say this.... I have replaced a LOT of displays, and all of them were the 'cheap' ebay variety. Each and every time I would replace the display, the phone would act just as described in this thread.
After long hours of reading, searching, and experimenting, I have found the ultimate and final solution to this problem. The answer to this issue is simple, but was not so simple to find. Whenever anyone does a screen replacement, and the screen is not the high-priced OEM variety, their phone will almost always have extreme difficulty in waking. The fix, and it has worked for me 100% of the time, is to flash a custom kernel. For the OP5/5T the kernel I use that always works is the Affinity kernel. Just flash and forget. The phone will always wake up after you flash that kernel.
However, don't forget, that what also happens with these lower priced replacement screens is that you can no longer double-tap to wake. I still haven't found a solution for that problem, but it always happens each time I replace a screen. The kernel won't help with that. But it does fix the 'won't wake up' problem.
Try it for yourself and see. You will be happy you did!

Try booting to bootloader and see if the screen is working correctly, try flashing or if not Your screen got damaged by something or due to Falling. If you use a touch and put on screen you can see the display is working but the backlight is not(the light which is project the colours coming from device). You need to replace it.

You need to replace the screen from service centre to work your device again. And if you keep a touch on old screen you see the colours but that are very dim. So you need to replace the screen.
