LG G2 Screen garbled / distorted

This suddenly happened on my phone this Eve of Christmas. It was never dropped, wet nor bent.. It just happened while I was trying out voicemate. I think this is not software related as it is the same when I'm in recovery mode. Sometimes the display is correct and is not garbled but after a few seconds of touching it it acts this way again, if I try to turn off the screen it goes away but returns immediately after. Sometimes the screen won't turn on but I can feel that it is actually on thru the vibration feedback it is giving when trying to press randomly in the screen. I'm still going to try to revert to stock Rom as I am on rayglobe and rooted in case I need to send it in for warranty. I have already reflashed the Rom but still the same.. I just can't believe this is happening hours before Christmas and a few days before the new year.. I'm sure repair services of LG will take time.. Coincidentally, last year when I was using Samsung S3, the motherboard of the phone broke down on New Year's Eve..
Any thoughts what part of the hardware is failing? And what else can I try to troubleshoot before bringing this is to repair? Appreciate your comments. Thank you!

guys any thoughts what caused this?

upon observation, this is more of a heat issue. if the unit is rested in a cold place it takes more time before the screen gets distorted like this but after a while of having the screen on it starts acting like this.. i hope LG repairs this fast!

Sent it for repair man,nothing else you can do as it seems.I wanted to ask if you had it modded or something,to see if there was something that caused it.But it seems the hardware is failing.

Definitely faulty hardware. Have it sent in for repairs. Looks like a faulty flex cable. Or it could be the main board though.

Hey mate, this just happened to me
i was wondering how you went about fixing it. Did you sent it to the repair centre.

So what did you end up doing? This just happened to me as well.

[DIY] Mobile Charging Dockinstation

Hi there, thought i might post another little Mod that came into my mind
We all know that the Xperia-Z ist not quite an endurance runner when it comes to Battery-Life and i guess most here will most-likely have a power-bank with them, just in case.
Problem with that is, the o-rings are prone to damage due to opening the flaps all over again.
This is most-likely also a main-reason for water-damaged devices, you know it, i know it, and Sony knows that too.
So lets see what we can do to that dockingstation, so that we get a mobile Power-bank Dock.
Its actually plain simple, you simply get yourself a so called "EasyAcc 3000mah U-Bright"-Powerbank, this Powerbank fits easily centered unto the Back of the Dockingstation without being distinguishable looking at it from the front side, and if you dont know the Dockingstation even sideways.
The Dimensions:
Topside of the Sony Dock : 14,4cm x 3cm
Easyacc 3000mah U-Bright : 10,7cm x 2,2cm
A picture of the Easyacc:

}
which would basically go behind the XperiaZ, and look like this Illustration:
The way you fix it in place would be really up to you, probably glued, or by using neodym-magnets, or probably even some Velcro or zip-ties.
Other than that you just really need a really short usb/-to/microusb-cable that goes from the Power-bank to the Micro-USB-Port
Hope this probably is useful for one or another!
Thanks.

That's actually not a bad idea!

Does anyone know what the voltage/current specs of the dock that connects via the 2 connections on the left side?

Do you mean polarity or really only the specs e.g. Voltage/Amps? The dock itself has an output of 5V/1,8A which is kinda funny as the default Sony-charger is rated 5V/1,5A
The mentioned Easyacc Powerbank outputs up to 5V/2,1A without (verified) getting hot.
Hope this might help

Do you know which contact is + and - ?

Apparently, the top contact when holding the phone is +.
See this post that states that + is the left pin when looking at the dock from the front.

If you are holding your phone horizontal with the connectors facing down (like you would put it in the dock), well then:
LEFT-> POSITIV
RIGHT-> Is negative.
Its actually even marked on the Dockingstation itself, in case you have the Dockingstation
See:
Hope this helps

Or you may consider using a power jacket, see: http://shop.brando.com/Power-Jacket-for-Sony-Xperia-Z-with-Cover-4200mAh_p09745c1512d003.html

Nice!
I had something similiar for my SGS3 but was missing something alike for the Xperia-Z.
Well i now did the modification mentioned above and iam good actually
Eventually get a power-case later on, although i kinda like the Xperia-Z as it is (thin as hell )
Thank you anyways for mentioning it, probably a better alternative to other Users

Just to give you an idea of how their customer service works

Yeah so I dont know if their customer service are really as stupid as they act or if they nust want to get on my nerves. I contacted paypal now. Screenshots in the description.

I'm impressed. I wouldn't dignify your capslock message with a response to be frank.

No,its not just the normal ghost touches. sometimes my touchscreen shuts down completely. Trust me,i read the forum.

If you waited 3 weeks for this anwsers,even tho the question they asked was clarified weeks ago,you would also be mad and write in capslock.

Wow LOL. Its almost as if its some sort of robot they have that responds to emails.. Pathetic. Just go straight to PayPal bro.

Honestly I don't think full on caps with exclamation marks will speed up your RMA any faster...
in fact, it ALMOST seems like customer service was dicking you around for the fun of it..:laugh:

I'm experiencing the same issue, already sent email and submitted RMA . Got one response only to advise I factory reset which I have done. If this goes sour, how long is eBay's or PayPal's fraud protection as I might have to go that route as well...

Don't wait, contest the charges because of a defective product right now with Paypal, problem solved , ok almost solved you are still stuck with a broken phone but at least you will get your money back.
If i remember correctly it's 45 days for Paypal.

Yeah that pretty much sucks. I guess that is what happens when the company and customer service are from China. I sure hope my phone has no issues really makes me think twice about the phone. Probably would not buy another unless they get this all sorted out.

My phone had the same issues. Ghost touches really bad and sometimes the touch screen would just stop responding altogether. The only way to fix it was to hold the power button and reboot the phone.
Today CM merged the firmware update from synaptic and Franco merged it into his newest kernel. I flashed it about 4 hours ago and no longer have any of the issues. I was even out in the sun earlier and that's when I had a lot worse problems when the phone was warm. I honestly think your problem is just the touchscreen firmware just like mine. I'd give Franco's kernel a try and see if it fixes your problem.

So just tell them you contact paypal. Im getting my replacement now.

Support Tickets
I don't know how you even got them to respond. I've put in three different Support ticket (starting on 8/31) and followed them up with at least 5 different emails, messaged almost all the mod's on the forums and have yet to receive ANY kind of response!!!!

Wow. I was thinking they were going to have really bad customer support, but now I'm amazed at how patient they were with you.
How is it that so many people are able to replicate the ghost swipes easily and put it up on youtube but you can't be bothered to?
Not to mention the fact that you haven't been bothered enough to check that there is a fix coming and waiting till then to check before saying it's a hardware bug.

Another suddly broken back glass

It was fine before putting it on the charger. I know because i was looking at the back and front before. When i took it from the charger suddenly i see a vertical crack from the top to the right center. No force No drop No back pocket nothing like that! Bring it back for repair and see how Sony treats his new Sony Smartphone User. Hope i do no regret abandoning Samsung....:crying::crying::crying:
(S3 not for sale at the moment)

Seems a hit or a drop..
What if all these guys who say that their glass cracked by itself but they have actually dropped it?
This guy said he didn't drop it but their is a hit!

Here is another photo without any dust particles.

What is the week, your phone was made ?

Week 37

Well, mine too.
Luckilly no cracks so far, but I'm curious if any appear.
On one side, I want to return it, and get a refund, OTOH the phone is everyhing I ever wanted, until a better one comes out.

Exactly my dilemma. I've seen enough reports of cracks to be convinced Sony cheaped out or did something wrong with this phone. But mine hasn't cracked yet and I actually like it a lot (other than terrible low light camera). I'm hesitant to reward companies when they skimp on something and then fail to acknowledge the problems they've created though which is why I'm considering a return even though I like it.
If reports start coming in of Sony fixing the cracks for free under warranty, then I'll be satisfied and keep it, I think.

Mine is week 37 too, have it since 2 weeks went on holiday with it - no issues so far.

As already mentioned, there are already some existing threads regarding this issue, so please use them instead of opening up a new thread.

Water damage to the camera
A bit of a late post, but I had this exact same issue on my note 4 right after it got water damaged. I bought an armband sports pouch for my phone so the water damage incurred was from my own sweat due to my Jogging. I put the phone in rice for three days and it went back to normal with no more camera issues. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that maybe the link to that issue is water damage and maybe all you need to do is leave it open, battery out, stick it in rice and let it dry for a couple of days. I never though that sweat can water damage a phone so even if you know that you haven't splashed it in water at some point. There could be small unnoticed factors that may cause it. Cooking while the phone is next to you can cause water damage because of the steam from the pots. Taking a shower while the phone is with you in the bathroom is also not good. Think back. Try drying it up. Hope this helps
