Hi all dear members. Since the first day i bought this phone i've been seeing lots of screen issues about it but i never thought i would have one. It's proved me wrong.
So here's my problem, my device has developed halo all around it when the bg color gets grey. Most of the time , it's not obvious. I can live with that. Recently, my screen starts to show me some tv-like stripes every now and then, it doesn't last long. after one second or two, it disappera and then it'll show from time to time.
I'm afraid it's just the start. It's similar to most of the issue ppl claim as screen flikering or screen jittering or shaking screen, it's a bit different though.
Has anyone encountered the same issue. More importantly, has anyone found any solutions yet? I searched google and failed to find answers. And i looked into it on Baidu,a chinese search engine, where i found some answers that claims it's not the screen issue ,instead , it's just the ribbon cable is lose. And anyone who replace a new screen for that is stupid.I'm just not sure about this.
My phone was bought on the internet and shipped to China, thus, I don't have warranty to rely on. And my phone is only 10 months old. I never dropped it and i have kept it well.(LG logo on the rear back still falls off), I just don't get why LG made this so vulnerable.
Even though i have ordered the nexus 6, my g2 running CM12 is still crazily fast and I don't want to give up on it. I'm so happy about my d802 except for all issues about the screen.
Any help would be aprreciated. Thanks again. Hi all dear members. Since the first day i bought this phone i've been seeing lots of screen issues about it but i never thought i would have one. It's proved me wrong.

Hi, I also have a problem with the screen on my lg g2, appeared to me that the white line disappears and comes back, when I do print screen and transfer the image on the computer that line is not visible, and that line is not always the same intenziteta.Try to do print screen and set an image or we send the mail to compare the problem
i'm so pissed about the screen, yes, my gnex bought 3 years ago looks yellow and ****ty. but other than that, totally fine, but for g2, ive read so many complaints about it. Guess no one has figured it out. Maybe I will open my phone and try to figure out when the screen completely goes crazy. During I type, it has happed for 4 times . so very annoying.

I think you should try to put in some rom, I hope it's a software problem, I found the solution for my phone cloudy g3:good:
i flash different cm12 nightlies. i don't think its a software related issue. I'm not the only one with this issue. Yesterday I opened this phone ,well with my fingernails. And coz I didn't have the right screwdriver, I wasn't able to open that black cover at the button down bellow the battery, but I cleared the places around the USB port and there's a black tape glued near the camera , I pressed it and I put the phone together and guess what, the problem was gone for one day, and I will continue to keep an eye on it.

Hi all. My G2 screen had a small crack while ago because i dropped it (of cource) but the screen was working all fine until some part of the left top stopped working two days ago. But also the sam day I dropped the phone once again and screen got cracked even more. Now the other part of the screen that works doesnt seem to replay well to the touches so sometimes I have to shut down and start the screen (not phone).
Anywayz I wonder whats the best way to fix it? I searched for some screens for g2 on ebay so I can install it myself so it gets cheapers, but is there only the screen that needs to be changed of the phone? Any secure link to a cheap G2 if anyone got any?
this post is nowhere near specific enough to give you advice. What do u want? what are you looking for by posting this? Whats the point? Post something when you have something of value to post. If you're already going to fix it don't waste the space here telling us you're going to fix it, post here after you successfully fix it and give us the successful instructions. Those would be something we can use.
Iam planning to buy moto g4 plus, i heared there were 2 batches with 2 types of screens LGD and BOE . please tell me how to check the screen details of this mobile. and also please tell me what should i check before and after buying this mobile as this is highly controversial model. Thans in advance
Install DevCheck System Info. Search for the 'Hardware' section, and then scrolll down till you find "Panel", it displays which screen do you have (BOE or LGD).
You shouldn't check anything else, since the only bugs of this model come from the screen (always can exist an exception, like in every smartphone).
Short story:
LGD = possible image retention (can be fixed).
BOE = possible ghost touches while it's connected to a PC/Charger (can't be fixed).
Thank you
Thank you very much ..
Sir,
I just found that my screen is an LGD . should i worry about image retention ? is it common in all devices ? (my device mfg date - september-2016).
Is there anything else should i be careful at or worry about ? please suggest..
thank you

Sir, I have a BOE display. As per your post, it can't be fixed. But will it be replaceable for free, if I go to the service centre?

Yes, it should. Since it's a manufacture fault recognized by Lenovo. Some BOE screens will never suffer from this fault, is not my case, mine has ghost touches when is conected to a PC, since the zero day, but it is not big deal for me, obviously is a clear failure and can be very annoying for these who need to use their phones conected to a PC or wall charger (in my case i never faced ghost touches while is connected to a charger).
@pinke93
In the case of the screens made by LG, the image retention can be corrected setting all the 3 RGB values to 240, you will need root for this. Some people uses a blue filter app from the PlayStore that does not requires root (i didn't test this method).
I "fixed" a normal moto G4 from a friend, with LGD screen doing the RGB value re-setting.
You should not be worried about something else, and is not a certain that it's going happen to your device.

Thank you very much. I agree with you. It's not a problem at all since I do not use my phone that much while it is charging. Moreover the turbopower technology gives me at least 80% charge in nearly 1 hour or so. But in emergency cases, say during doing a phone call, sending important messages, when the ghost touch starts popping up it is indeed really annoying. So as per your advice, I will have to go to the service centre to replace the display panel. And by the way I have rooted my device on the very first day I purchased my device.

Same here haha, i bought this device because my Nexus 5x die, that model has a terrible design failure (same as LG G4), suddenly it went turned off and never could relive it (hardware break: the welding that holds the CPU attached to the mainboard get broke). So, the ghost touch issue for me is literally nothing.

Yes. Despite packing some decent hardware, the Nexus 5X always had these problems. Even some had filed a lawsuit against google. But I don't think its entirely google's fault. It was the fault of the OEM's, and LG (for Nexus 5X) and Huawei (for Nexus 6P) faced lots of criticisms from the customers.

Thank you very much sir,
But, I dont want to root my mobile . iam not a techie ,not good at this kind of stuff, so dont want to void my warranty... as you suggested i think colour filter apps might work.
And, Incase if i get this issue in future, can i request the service center to change my display to boe ?
when i connect my earphones to moto g4 plus, its not showing any icon on status bar ( headset icon that we generally see at the top ), please tell me how to get it.
Thank you once again.

The company is bound to replace your screen under warranty
Also you wanted headphone icon in status bar
For that swipe down from top on home screen and long press on settings icon you will see it rotating then leave it. You will get a toast notification that system ui tuner ....
Then go to settings you will see a new section at bottom called system ui tuner under that you will find status bar and then you can select icon to show
Thank you @ Sobhan Bhuyan.
will try it
Okay so, i've had two v20's now.. An LS997 and now a vs995, Even after replacing the displays on BOTH devices they some how immediately get the burn image/ghost image?? Why?? the ls997 was acceptable with it, occasionally a small spot on the screen if i left it too long on a window e.g youtube, home screen, anything bright. then i'd notice it on a dark app,
The vs995 has it 24/7 and in the SAME spot even after replacing the screen, it looks like a weird faded menu coming down from the 2nd screen and its fine on both sides of it, i never goes away unlike the ls997.. Is it a board issue or what?? If so how come both devices had the same issue?
it gets VERY annoying to see a ghost image all the time of anything you do..
And i thought samsung's ghost image was bad Jesus

You haven't found the search button. The screen retention is the most common issue with the V20 with many things to try to fix it.
Personally I rooted and used root to adjusted the color balance to one of the settings suggested in the kcal thread which mostly eliminated it.
Others have had success with various screen filter apps (I've been rooted and using that kcal method for so long I don't remember the apps mentioned)
Edit: link to Reddit discussion on various filter apps/settings.. sFilter went rogue (did something bad but can't remember exactly what offhand) so avoid it.

Hi to everyone.
From 1 week my Mi9T has a ghost touchscreen.
How can i resolve it?
What do you mean by ghost touchscreen?

Screen responds to 'touches' you didn't actually make - like, there is a ghost touching your screen
oh, well i dont know how to fix that sorry. But maybe you touched the edge of the screen accidentally?
i have the same problem for about a week now! did you find any fixes?
me too
Me to. I have tried every possible solution. Eventually whole screen has been replaced on warranty.
No guys i dont find any solution. And now? How we can resolve it?

replacing the display is the only solution
i have the same problem, ghost touches in the upper side, near clock.. specially when phone is hot or i press the top of the phone
Im so angry ??? bc we have this phone not usable!!
It's a hardware failure. Faulty display. If you suffer from "ghost touches" you should back up the data you want to keep, and return your Device to where you have bought it from as it might still fall under warranty (depends op what the cause is, and where you live). This can also get worse over time making the screen partially unusable (which was in my case). contact the seller, or contact customer service from Xiaomi.
I suffered ghost touches at the beginning of December (owned the Device for at least a month). Tried every software options i found around internet that could resolve it, but it was to no avail. I proceeded to unlocking the bootloader, install TWRP, flash a custom rom... For a couple of days i was fine. After those few days the top part of the screen (the part with the status bar) rendered unusable, on custom rom and stock miui. Tested it and it seemed that the area increased and also decreased from now and then, which is strange. After contacting my seller they agreed on sending it back including screenshot and the tests i ran. 1 day after they received my device they contacted me to say that it cannot be fixed (or at least they didn't seem to bother as the phone's pricerange is low) and i am receiving a complete new one (this was in the weekend btw). After that weekend on monday i received the new one and it's running better then ever, even the fingerprint is much faster.
Now just as a warning, I don't say you still have warranty. i live in the Netherlands where unlocking, rooting and all that does not void warranty, and returning a product is very easy to do. But in other parts of the world the companies can screw you over so you'll have to check that.
For those who are asking what is it, juste have a look at mine in dev mode to show the touch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZApYI9otJI
This happens to me only when I'm charging the phone, still annoying, , I think it's something to do with the voltage and could be fixed with a software update.
