So my screen is showing streaks extending the width of the display extending from text or images. I have attached photos to demonstrate. Weird part is that when the phone first boots up, the LG logo doesn't show the problem. Once the Verizon splash screen starts so does the issue. And it doesn't go away. I have already done 2 factory resets to no avail. The little green android guy that shows up during the factory reset also doesn't have the problem. Any ideas?

I was in my classes today, and i went to unlock my G1, and as i did, i saw that the colors of the screen were messed up. This meaning that, there were four to five white/grey pixelated bars separating the screen, and when i went to pull up the menu, the screen experiences what seemed to be a great amount of lag, and the white and grey bars seemed ti fill up more of the screen. When i boot up the phone, it is followed by just a black screen where the G1 should be, and when the android logo comes up, from the latest cyan, its all chopped up.
once the phone rebooted i went to slide the screen up to horizontal mode, and it was clear, and perfectly fine, but after i closed it once more, the screen just stayed black. i took out the battery and rebooted, and the same things happened again.
any idea what happened? is the a solution? should i buy a new phone?
like always, any help is appreciated
Sounds like it needs a wipe. You have something running in the background it sounds like
Galaxy S2
2 months old
no custom roms and not unlocked
no problems prior to this
On 3 network
assuming the issue is a screen related problem:
The screen at first was flickering bright lines on and off in random positions and also the lower segment of the screen would be black and not visible.
Then within about 30 minutes of this happening 90% of the screen has been black, with just the notification bar visible.
Bringing you up to date on the situation now. The screen is completely black but the device is definitely still on and fully working as I have received 2 text messages in the time of writing this and also I was able to press the camera app and auto focus and take a picture and view it on my laptop but the screen remained black the entire time while i did this.
Not sure what to do with the phone as I'm unable to reboot in recovery mode or restore to factory settings.
I will be going into the three shop now and seeing if they can replace the handset.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated
Hi
I noticed this two times now and sadly I did not make a photo of it. I will try to describe it:
The phone is in standby, I press the power button and the display stays black. Over 10 seconds, the black slowly faded to a sort of gray blur. It somehow looked like a can of white wall paint was spilled over the black display. Another buttonpress turned it off again and then it worked normal again. So the phone was still working in the background, not crashed. This also happened one time while I booted the phone, right at the google logo.
What is this?? Is it a defect, or just software bug??
Thanks!

Flash the stock Nexus 4 image, and if it still happens, get an RMA
I can do that, although I am still on stock and unrooted. Only applied ota 4.2.1 update. But I will give it a try!
edit: found two people on german forum who also witnessed this! so more possibly a software problem?
edit2: Got RMA
Hi Community,
I had to reset my oneplus 5 because of a annoying adware that i might have got from something was experiencing ad pop ups even on the home screen. So i did a factory reset from setting. My phone restarted and the boot screen appeared. After one or two mins both white dots of bootlogo merged and big red logo appeared (device was about to go to setup page) but instead of going to setup screen a black screen appeared and again bootlogo started rolling... i thought its a reset process but it just on for a long time, around 20 mins. So i restarted the device by holding power button and phone restarted to the setup screen in no time.
I again did a reset and same thing happened
Can some please tell me was that normal or was a bootloop??
Please help
Last July, ZTE replaced my Axon7 A2017U with a brand new one. Today while typing a text message the screen suddenly went dark. I had to reboot and saw the ZTE boot screen and swoosh animation, albeit with the right half discolored. But when Android should have displayed, instead I got a screen full of green horizontal lines that seem to refresh (or try to anyway) at a snail's pace. Turning the screen off and back on again, the lines come back very slowly before the screen goes dark again. I can hold the power button to reboot, and again the ZTE boot screen displays but beyond the swoosh animation it's only the green lines.
So the hardware display seems capable of showing the ZTE logo and swoosh but nothing else? That's weird. Sadly I had no terminal app, no usb debug turned on so Vysor can't find the device. I can get to (and see) the boot menu, but before I try a factory wipe I thought I'd seek xda-developers expertise on how/whether I might make progress toward recovery. Your insights would be much appreciated.
