This morning my g2 started going crazy. The touchscreen started behaving erratically. It is displaying erratic scrolls and touches. screen is behaving wildly.
Here is a video illustrating the issue, http://youtu.be/oCjxIYkrZj8
I have a Tmobile variant with Cloudy g3 ROM installed. I have had the phone for three months and installed the Cloudy G3 rom a few weeks back and everything was running fine, it just started this morning.
I factory reset the phone but still getting the problem, I get the same problem even when I am in recovery. Could this be a hardware problem?
Has anyone had this issue? Any help would be highly appreciated. I currently have turned off my phone cause it is almost useless

I noticed that when I plug mine to some other (rather old) charger it starts to do the same thing on my screen and unpluged it immediately! and fortunatelly the effect faded away in few hours. I don't know if you kept it for a long time, could this be a permanent
P.S.
...just a long shot: try deplete your battery fully, leave phone off for some time, and fully charge it with the original charger

In the morning it was acting like that..I kept the phone off for a few hours and then I noticed that it was working fine for some time and then it went back to being erratic. So I turned it off again.
Now I am charging from the original charger and so far it is working okay. Let's see if it stays that way. Just praying I haven't damaged it permanently.
Thanks for the help.

Hey guys, just started seeing some odd behavior today. My phone is currently 73% charged and when I went to top it off I noticed the LED was flashing strangely. Turning the screen on and checking the lockscreen I noticed that it was constantly going from Charged to Charging, back and forth. It didn't seem to actually be charging at all.
I tried two different adapters and cables then a cold boot. It started charging normally for a few minutes, then started doing this again. Does that sound like a bad USB connection on the phone's end?

Sounds like a dodgy battery to me.
Does it show the same behaviour when you plug it in with the phone turned off? If not, then it could be the ROM you are running, especially if you have dirty flashed different ROMS.
If its the battery, you can get replacements or just send the phone back. Try running it right down too and fully recharging. I had a similar problem on my Sensation and it turned out to be the battery. There are threads on how to remove the back cover and replace the battery. But avoid opening it unless you have no recourse with Google / your supplier.

Thanks, I'll let it run down today. I am running AOKP but haven't flashed anything recently and this just started today.

A better test would be to see what it does when its turned off and charging. If its staying fully charged, then its 99% software issue. But batteries can be shyte. Esp if yours is an early model which the batteries are about 7-8 months old now.
Hope you narrow it down m8
This is a really stupid question, but what SHOULD happen when it's turned off and plugged in? I've never had it off before since getting it.
Plugged into charger #1: Charging icon with lightning bolt briefly, screen off, then icon of battery filling up, screen off. Screen kept going on and off.
Plugged into charger #2: Charging icon with lightning bolt briefly, screen off, then icon of battery filling up, screen off and has been off since.
It did charge to 100% (while turned on) on charger #2 last night, but I've also seen it do the Charged/Discharging dance on this charger once as well.
Hi everybody.
Seems I'm in bit of a predicament.
I've flashed the latest Resurrection Remix rom with learnkernel 2.5 on my note 3 over the weekend and all seemed fine. I let my battery run flat to give the phone a fresh charge just a few minutes ago and the usual happed - upon charging, the battery charge logo displayed on the screen (albeit not updating). I know this is normal. So I went about my business. A few minutes later, I turned back to the phone and saw the display not showing anything. My initial thought was "ok, phone probably went to sleep". Nope, as it turned out the phone is completely dead. Won't turn on at all. Took the battery out and put it in again after n minute and it still won't turn on. I hope to god there's a way of getting my baby to boot up, otherwise it seems my phone just bricked itself? This is the first time something like this has happened in all the years of me flashing my devices.
I can't post on the RR nor LeanKernel forum for advice as I don't have enough posts on the site to do so.
Anyone else had similar issues and is there a way to remedy the situation?
fixed

Found the problem. Seems my charger is messed-up. Popped in a normal USB2 cable and the phone is up and going again.
Sorry for causing any inconveniences.
Have a good day.
Hi guys ;
First let me say that i am sorry if there is another same topic,let i explain my problem,i bought LG G2 16GB international unlocked model,two months ago all was working completly fine for the past two months,last night my phone was at 2% battery life,while i went to get to the charger phone turned off(well i guess it drained the 2% fast since wifi and one game was working) i came back and pluged the charger in to the phone everything looked normal it was charging when it was 100% i unpluged it,after that for a minute or two when i started using it,it became extremly slowly,screen was totally unresponsive i was trying to unlock it with knock on all i was seeing is the LED notification light flash but display was not turning on,then after 3-4 attempts it turn on but then it become again "dead" then it unlock phone automatically and when i tap on the screen it should display the front unlock screen so when i swipe that it unlocks the device,but for me it was completly diffrent first it unlock the device and then for 3-4 seconds later display the unlock screen,but also after an hour or two after charging phone works fine no problem everything is good,but when i put it to charge it get really hot,not on the battery but on the top of the phone around camera,volume up/down,and lock keys,i don't know could KitKat cause this issues because phone is currently running KitKat? i think its hardwere issues connected something maybe either with the charger itself or some part at the top of phone maybe that is causing screen to go buggy ?so i'm still confused to send the phone to repair since i have warranty for two years or maybe its software problem that why i am asking,but i don't think it's software since KitKat was working for a month and didn't cause this problem,i mean it's not the problem to use the phone after it gets normal after charging,but i don't want every time to wait and waste an hour or two for letting phone getting back to normal.
Thanks for the help,and sorry for huge message.
My phone is shutting down automatically after showing “google” logo. I went back to stock lollipop 5.0.1 but the problem still persist. It’s working fine with the charger plugged in. If I remove the charger after switching on, if I kept it idle, it will stay on till the battery is empty. But if I try to do something it will shutdown. In recovery mode it works well without the charger.
Please help me is anyone facing the same issue.
may be you should try flashing a new kernel
i tried stock Google images still no use.
Is there any noticeable bulge to the battery? It might be a battery issue.
This is almost certainly a battery issue.

I don't think its a battery issue, because if i keep my device idle it'll last 1 day.
It only crashes if i use the phone, even swiping home screens crashes the phone.
Well, you've already gone back to pure stock which rules out a software issue, and so the next thing I thought would be a battery issue. I have read here about defective batteries causing all sorts of problems like losing signal, non responsive touchscreens and bootloops, and so it's a possibility that this is a battery problem.
I got strange problem with my n4..
Battery % randomly change and shut down, unsensible touchscreen, battery icon disappear from menu..
Maybe this hw problem could touch the SW part
that's how my problem started
Battery problem symptoms can manifest themselves in many different ways.

My nexus 4 cant't turn on without charger plugged in. But when I go to Recovery, it work fine. A few days ago, it's sometime shutdown suddently when I was playing game. Then it worked fine after I plugged charger in and turn it on. Is this battery issue?
So even when the device is fully charged it won't boot into Android?

It can boot with a little trick (press the lock icon on boot screen continuously) and work fine with charger plugged in. When unplugged the phone shutdown immediately

let the battery drain all the way to the 0%. ive had same issue few times with my s7 edge it would not respond to any command no matter what i do, then all of the sudded after i didint touch the phone for abouth 6-7 hours i put it on charge again and 0% was shown and started charging.
most probably its a motherboard issue and should be replaced at least in my case

Thanks for your response, i've left it unplogged for more than a day and still nothing. Should i wait longer?
How expensive would replacing the motherboard be?

I'm only telling from my experience, untill your battery is 0 it will be like that presuming it has somewhat same issue as mine . Try pressing buttons from time to time it could help to drain battery faster . On second hand market it should not be more then 40-50 euro. Also AliExpress has motherboards but not new, used

R.I.P S7 edge 2016-2019 will be missed
Same thing ! Phone just totally dead.
The same thing just happened to my S7edge today... I think it's a conspiracy so that we are forced to change the phone.
Sad, I liked that phone.
Nothing would work, it started at first a rebooting loop, then suddenly stopped giving any sense of life.
Doesn't show any indication when plugging the charger. nor responsive to any of the rebooting button combinations...
I even had it on stock Rom and never flashed any customer ROM on it or anything.
I think leaving the phone battery to drain as a solution only works if your phone was already on and it just gave a black screen, but it's still on.
But in my case, it was already in a rebooting loop and I suspect it is not even ON anymore, it just went totally off somehow...
So there is no was to know if the battery is draining.
update:
So I left it overnight. In the morning, I connected the charger and indeed it drained to 0% and started being responsive to charging again.
As soon as it charged to 20% I powered it on. It loaded into recovery, giving the no command screen. Then I went on and selected system reboot.
Then it rebooted and Android started, as soon as I tried unlocking it, it froze and started again into an endless rebooting loop until it blacked out again. Now again not responsive.
I will leave it to drain again. Does anyone know what I shall do when it gets to that endless rebooting sequence. It is obvious that Android had a malfunction... not sure what as I didn't do anything new last week..
Is there a way to get it through without factory reset?
Thanks
