I bought a phone but I have a problem with it performance. Screen is blinking all the time and icons are disappearing.
You can see how it looks on youtube hxxp://youtu.be/MdKJV-DL8Z8
any idea how to fix it? Is it soft or hardware?
Flash it with another rom - stock or custom , if it still blinking it will be hardware problem
LG G2 rear LED won't turn off. It stays on all the time. The only time it turns off is when I turn off the phone.
I have been using this phone for 3 days and then this problem occurred. It takes a toll on the battery as well.
I have tried turning off the notification LED from display menu and it still stays on. Tried using some apps to turn off the rear LED but no success.
Is anyone else facing this problem? Can anyone suggest solutions for this?
Thank u.
I'm facing this problem as well,
Have you get the solution yet?
That's a strange glitch. The notification led switch is located under both display and accessibility menus. Try switching off one and then the other(they both have the same function and are connected so if you switch off one, the other does as well). If you are 100% stock then all you can do is factory reset and make sure you're updated. If you're rooted and autorec you have more options.
I have finally moved on from my GS3 to a GS5 and as a few others I am dissapointed in the camera app - specifically the video portion. I have read around about the low light issues but my biggest issue is shooting video in lower light. My old GS3 which my wife now uses turns the LED on if flash is enabled on the camera whilst shooting a video but I cannot figure this out for the GS5 - anyone care to help?
thankyou
Turn the flash on first then start to record. It will come on automatically.

flash issues
So I found out the real issue is that the flash module is broken! I have tried the following:
- reset filters
- force close and app data in camera app
- full factory reset
- Super LED app and stock torch app
None of these have worked, cant find a teardown for the phone so I think I am out of options. The HR sensor works but the flash I am guessing is the big white square next to it.....any other ideas? there is a loud rattle coming from the area, but this seemed normal according to a few other posts.....
When I want to open camera from the locked screen , in 50 percent of cases , i get white screen .
Only I have this problem ? Maybe , you have the way to fix this ?:crying:
The same. I observe this issue from the start. And it keeps happening on December update.
Yes same issue and I thought I was the only one having it.
I had this issue because I had multiple camera apps installed and none was default selected. Once I selected default camera app then no more white screen.
Hi,
I have this phone for little over 2 years. For over 1 week now I'm experiencing my phone not being able to wake up when I use the power button/home button. Whenever I push the button, the screen flashes for like 1s blue color, you can also see that the notification panel is blacked out and part of it green and it doesn't wake up. Sometimes it doesn't even flash. It used to take about 10 tries to wake it up but today I couldn't wake it up. I performed soft reset, I couldn't see the booting animation at all but it rebooted, buttons lit up and I was able to get in. It's like the phone is working fine in the background but the screen doesn't light up. I can turn down/up the volume, take a screenshot, get into settings, open apps, write a message but the screen is black. Even my alarm went off this morning but I couldn't dismiss it.
I downloaded an Always On Display app. Although I don't actually see the screensaver when it's locked, it's still on and it's easy to get in beacuse of it.
It all started with the screen flickering on minimum brightness. In February this year I had the screen replaced for the same issue but this time it's worse because of the blacked out screen.
Any ideas what it could be? Faulty display again?
Thank you

It's over to have this phone for little over 2 years now you should have to change
TIP:
Flash a new stock rom of your phone from sammobile via ODIN.

That would be great, but I'm not a person that buys new phone every 2 years. I was thinking about it though .
When it comes to flashing. Do you think that would help? I don't want to end up with a black screen unable to set the phone up again. Cause overall it's working great .
Hi, i have the same problem, i'm from Belgium, and I have blinking screen problem and wake up screen problem :s
is it a software issue (nougat???)
before the big update (marshmallow i dont have any problem)
i'm on firmware A510FXXS7CRJ6_A510FLUX7CRJ1_A510FXXU7CRJ6_HOME.tar.md5
Turn screen brightness up abit to stop the blinking of screen. It's an issue of the screen hardware itself at low brightness after wear and tear. As for the hanging issue, maybe it has to do with your AOD app? Try uninstalling the AOD app OR flashing a stock Rom OR custom rom OR factory reset and use your phone at a higher brightness that the screen does not blink and see whether it still persists.

Thanks, because of my past experience with the same problem earlier this year I know about that "solution". Unfortunately, it makes the battery die faster as expected. Which is sad because I used it mainly on low brightness. So it's really not a solution at all.
I got rid of the AOD app because I found out that the phone lights up on 2nd try. AOD didn't work at all. I have to wake it up, put it to sleep and wake it up again which is always successful and the screen lights up. The screen flashes white about 3 times in a row now otherwise it works.
I haven't flashed it yet although I wanted to. But I will see what can I do. Thank you though!
I'm having the exact same issue using LineageOS.
It's already been 2 years, but since this thread is one of the first results on Google, I'll gladly add a solution.
Exact same problem for me, went through two screen repairs under warranty, and it would always come back a year later. No difference between Samsung OS and LineageOS, though I haven't tried rooting it.
Found on Ifixit: this issue is related to the AMOLED screen technology used by Samsung (among others). You can look it up, apparently there is a bad (?) voltage management in low brightness which worsen with time.
I could fix it with the "OLED Saver" application on Play Store. It works around this voltage management and allows you to reduce the brightness without the green flickering.
I still got white flashes after the installation, but not anymore the day after. I could even disable this application without the issue coming back.
I don't know what kind of magic cleanup this app performed, but it really is a (screen) life saver.
