Internal Screen Cracking

Overall I have had a great experience with this phone. It is fast, has great hardware, and even had some faith in Samsung for Froyo fixing some of the problems I was having with it. However, when I arrived at school today I pulled my phone out my pocket to check my text messages, and low and behold my screen is shattered internally. My phone does not have 1 scratch on it and has been babied like crazy. This is completely unacceptable for a ~$600 device meant to be transported in pockets and such. I don't have TEP but I will be up at Sprint raising hell until either I walk out of there with a new Epic or Evo.
Has anyone else had this issue happen or have any luck with Sprint fixing it?

Obviously while in your pocket it was not "babied". Phones don't magically break without a reason.

x2..not to raise any wild hairs, but you obviously bumped it up against something. Sprint will replace your screen, but for $35. And thats only if you purchased the Epic after they changed their insurance rules. If you don't have TEP and you bought the phone before that, I don't think there is anything Sprint will do for you. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, I worked in wireless sales for a little while..please don't believe you are going to walk into the store and just magically get swapped out for the Evo. You will get what you have, an Epic. The Epic is an overall better phone anyway, minus the amount of dev support.
Be polite when you go into the store, thats the best way to get someone to side with you.

For what's its worth for those who aren't MOD EDIT: LANGUAGE it was an obvious hardware defect as I take extremey good care of my s***. I got it replaced on the spot free of charge.

Flaming quote removed
I've been called worse, thanks for the compliment! ;D
Welcome to the forum, btw..you probably won't be here long!

What an ironic name you sport.
Congrats on your replacement, though, I guess not everyone's a cynic like us.

I think sprint honers the 1yr manufactures warrantee regardless if you have insurance or not. Just have to fall into that category of a defect or something.

I was voicing concerns over the build quality of the screen in my phone and asking if anyone else had similar experiences to find out if I am the only one this has ever happened too or if there are any known issues before going into the store. Instead people reply with smart ass emoticons . Pardon my frustration . And btw you guys must have a lot of faith in a company that mass produces millions of phones to not even consider the fact that maybe just maybe a sub standard panel was put into a phone. I take it none of you lived through the debacle that was the moment. So since no one else seems to have had any issues with a weak internal screen I shall let the thread die off.

I had 3 Moments. Nothing was wrong with the build quality of the Moment..I never had any problem with any of the 3 I owned.

Wow.. what a toolish way to go about things. My screen broke so I'm going to go yell at a sales person till I get a new one. No wonder our economy is so effed up. But cool story bro.

Yes not sitting idle while being sold a substandard piece of hardware designed and manufactured outside of the united states is what's wrong with the economy. I must be a scum bag
Edit:
Also the samsung moment has documented problems with gps, 3g lock ups, faultry graphic drivers etc... I guess I didn't. Drop my phone or d anything to b reak my screen it was in my ocket it was thoroughl lookd over and could not be attributed to negligence you people amaze me

dannyniceboi....
buy american! lol

I have seen this happen with other devices before. It's not always due to negligence.

Even if its not your fault your attitude is still out of line. If you look no one else is like.. oh yeah my screen did the same thing! You really think you should scold a company and a sales rep because they replaced your phone for free?

Who said anything about scloding. I was treated with phenomonal customer service and had no issues with sprint at all.

[Q] Loss of Service issue? A GS2 ghost!

So I've been having this problem since I got the S4, and Sprint continues to refuse it exists. It's very similar to the Loss of Service issue that the Galaxy S2/Epic 4G Touch was plagued with. The issue is consistent from the initial GS4 I received to the refurbished device I just got a few days ago. Basically the mobile network service drops, but the data stays enabled and functional. It's incredibly random, and the only way to reverse it is to enable and disable airplane mode. This is a problem for many reasons, the most obvious being that if I'm not aware of it dropping service when it's in my pocket or not on me, I could be missing important calls/texts and the battery drops like a rock. I attached a screenshot of the No service icon being displayed with data still active. Right after taking the screenshot, I opened up the FB app and everything loaded, as well as browsed a couple of XDA threads quickly to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
I am currently running MF9 stock with Agat's latest release, and the MF9 modem obviously. The issue is consistent with the stock kernel, completely unrooted stock system, as well as the MDL software (I tried running MDL for a little bit while I still had my first GS4). Any input is appreciated, or any ways to troubleshoot the issue. Thanks in advance!

Its not that bad. I've had it happen about 3 times since I've own the device. June 1st.

Yeah it's not the end of the world, just a bit of poison in my eyes. I have it happen fairly frequently though, maybe every other charge cycle it happens, and sometimes multiple times per cycle. Do you find it happens when you have low service? Almost like the mobile network gets very faint, it drops for a second, and then the phone can't grab back onto the network for some reason.

That's it for me, it will happen about once every five hours if I'm moving around a lot in very low service areas (one bar, 1X). It's not as bad as it was on my E4GT, where it could happen at any time.
Sent from my Carbonized Chronic SPH-L720

do you live in a low service area? i mean really as a sprint customer (ex-employee) we have all had drops and los at one point but to say its a device issue is absurd....if your in an area where on average you get 1 mabey 2 bars of service your going to experiance this alot more than others as you live in an area where the towers are spread farther apart. each tower has and average radius of 7 miles (this can vary....hence the use of the word average). so if for instance you are moving out of a towers range....lets say your at 6.8 miles from the nearest tower and all of a sudden everyone around that tower decides to call their grandma and you dont have a tower close enough to jump to then guess what..... if you experiance this with multiple devices in the same area then its obviously not the device itself, there is a factor that your not considering that is probably a huge reason why you experiance this. for example if you live in a freaking house made of iron and concrete (dont laugh ive taken this call more than once) or if you live in an area of extreme geographic variation.....look at your surroundings.....hell you may have a shopping center between you and the tower and that could even cause it. this is an amazing phone with some of the most hightech and up-to-date hardware avaliable for mobile devices i just dont see why people continue to blame it for ****ty service. a great tool as a sprint customer is to look at the coverage in your area coverage.sprintpcs.com. also (cause i know your thinking it) voice and data (contrary to popular belief) on the sprint network do not run at the same frequency. they do however run on such a similar frequency as to make calling and data at the same time virtually impossible (unless on 4g or wifi) and that may be why your able to obtain a data signal while loosing the signal for making voice calls....because they are differant. also my spelling is horrible so dont judge me lol im just trying to give insight to your problems and trying to help the next poor rep you get on the phone from hearing the same story they hear all day long.

I wonder if there's an app, or it can be made in tasker, something that checks to see if you have connection. If it doesn't see service after a pre determined amount of time, it cycles airplane mode on then off.

Thank you for your input. The area I live in has great coverage for the most part, data isn't the fastest but the signal strength is overall pretty good. There are poor spots of course but considering the geography of my area it is good. And just so you know, I don't call and whine to the customer service reps about nonsense, I have more common sense than to expect cell service in a bunker. Speaking of that, I do have an airrave at home and the phone does the LoS thing while connected to the airrave. And it was proven that the GS2 had software issues which caused the LoS issue, so its possible the same can be said for the GS4.
I'd be interested to see about a script that would toggle air plane mode...hmmm.

I do remember the gs2's los issue but I have yet to see that on an s4 other than what u have described but since replying to this post I have also read your other post about your phone having moisture in it.......I mean water of and kind in any form does not play well with electronics.....could be your having hardware malfunctions because of the amount of moisture you are getting in your phone.....I just haven't seen this as a known hardware or software issue on this device so there has to be an external reason why its happening to you. This would explain the los even on the airave as well. Granted those moisture sensors can sometimes be a little sensitive but with what you described It could be an insight into a deeper problem.

Most certainly agree with you, only problem is that I have received a replacement since, and the problem still exists. If I hadn't gotten a second phone with the same issue I wouldn't have bothered asking in another thread, I really thought maybe the moisture in the old phone was the issue . Sprint tells me my area has "some of the best coverage in the nation" which might be exaggerated but it is still good coverage.

right but you havent changed jobs have you? have you subjected this replacement phone to that same treatment? all it takes is once.... you know? im not saying your not running into a hardware issue or even a software issue. are you running stock everything or are you running a rom and custom kernel? is your setup the same as your last phone? have you tried a different setup to make sure (only if your running custom sw)you still using that same case thats trapping the moisture?

Yeah I do have the same job, but for the time being I've just been leaving my phone in the truck so its not exposed to the moisture. As for my set up, currently running stock rooted with agats kernel, but I've tried 100% stock for a while before and it still did it, as well as a few other configurations and its consistent. I actually have to knock on wood, it didn't do it once yet today, although I did lose data several times but that happens with sprint no matter where I am. Honestly I feel like its a problem I may not be able to fix, unfortunately the troubleshooting options are very limited.

well if its loosing signal and then not picking it back up it kinda sounds like a faulty antenna.....its hard to say with out a diagnostics hooked up to it but even if you take it in your unlikely to get a straight answer. if it is infact a hardware issue the only ones capable of fixing is manuf.(sprint will just pass it off or make up some reason for you to file a ins claim) from what you have told me it sounds like your in a normal setting. do others in your area that have sprint have the same problem?

Nah not to my knowledge... I have heard of very few cases of the same issue only with the S4 but I guess sprint/Sammy won't recognize it until there are more people with the issue. And yeah just like you said, sprint gives me the runaround when I call them and the guy in the store does the same thing, says his hands are tied cause usually they do whatever they can. I am grateful they got me a refurbished device for free even with water damage though.

yessir thats what they do.....well if it truly is a hardware issue with the s4's i hope you can get some light shed on it soon so you dont have to deal with anymore. I remember it from the s2 days and it was definatly annoying at best. but hey look on the bright side.....at least you aren't having menu wakes like the s2 did. my only advice i can give is just try different combos of roms,kernels,modems to see if you can find one that may at least somewhat mask the issue. unfortunatly if its hardware thats failing then its only going to get worse and worse.

G2 issues, any solutions/suggestions?

I am really thinking of selling this thing. I put it up at Craigslist just to see what kind of bites I get on it. I'm just having a hard time with some stuff:
Proximity sensor is weird, at times the screen doesn't turn on when I put the phone down when calling someone, and other times when calling someone and I put it up to my ear the phone seems to go to sleep and the call is disconnected. Sometimes when the phone doesn't turn on again the knock on sensor doesn't work and I have to use the power button.
Knock on doesn't work half the time. I've tried every variation of fast, slow, and keeping my finger in the middle. Sometimes it works beautifully , others times it takes 4 or 5 tries.
Random battery drain, seems it's that CIQ GPS issue, but it just randomly pops up and if the phone is in my pocket drains half of it in an hour or 2.
Rear buttons are getting annoying. They are sensitive, if it's in my pocket and I'm listening to music even a light tap of my pocket and the volume is affected. I can't really get used to them.
Speaker is TERRIBLE. I did the audio hack on here and raised it to 68, I also tried the Viper4android app, neither of them made much difference. Even if they did, it's still mono so doesn't make for a great emergency boombox. I can be in a quiet room and it's bordering on useless.
Even with CleanROM installed I still get occasional lag, it's only minor, but it just bums me out with such powerful hardware.
The rest of my complaints are with Android and things that are just not polished or ready for prime time, but that should be another subject.
Pluses:
The screen is insane, and it's VERY easy to read in sunlight.
The battery life (when not bugged) is pretty insane as well.
Android is cool to tinker with.
Who else is on the fence?

Sure you just didnt get a monday-version of the phone?
I mean.. I have had a BLAST with the G2 so far.
I wouldnt sell it if I got the double for what I paid.
Well.. I would.. and I would buy another one !
But on my G2 I have no issues whatsoever. Not rooted or anything yet though.

O.P, you have a defect.
My phone definitely doesn't act like that. I'd try exchanging first before selling it altogether

Why did you wait till after the return window was closed? I'm afraid Craigslist would only net you some low ballers.
I'm not sure which carrier version you have but if it's a Verizon version expect nothing but low ball offers.

OP is alone on this one. So far it's been the best phone I've owned. The screen and battery kill all.

I haven't sold my phone. I will probably send it in to LG to see what they think, I just was hesitant to do that in case they can't replicate the problems. I didn't feel like waiting a month just to have them send it back and say it's fine. Seems they are intermittent. Most of the time the phone functions well, other than a slight lag. The proximity sensor issues are fairly occasional, but I haven't had the phone in a while. The knock on sensor is about 1/3 the time, but anecdotally I've read lots of other users having the same issue so that may be a universal problem with maybe a batch of them. The battery drain issue is also a well known bug with CIQ which some experience.

[Q] LG G2 Screen Problem

I am really frustrated with my LG G2 because of the screen problem I encountered. The screen goes up and down, it happens when I over using the phone. I went on LG service center to reset my phone. still no luck, the problem is still there. They think its a software problem. I hope LG will release new software update on G2

To me that seems more like a hardware problem, not a software one.
Can you reproduce the problem at will?
Dude, I think you have a lemon...
Good luck!

It happened when i charged my phone with the screen is on and i always reading manga. maybe the screen is too sensitive. Yea i think this is hardware issue

I have used mine while connected and charging... Never had a problem with that.

Hopefully you're still in your exchange period...swap it out

You are running it completely stock? And you've done a factory reset? If so, it sounds to me like your phone is defective. These phones are so new it should still be under warranty, right?

Just got the same problem as OP last night and I've used it only for 1 month,so now I send my phone to LG service center and they said it was a hardware problem not sure which part but will reply here soon when I got my phone back and tell you all what's the problem... :angel:

Got a similar problem. I am unsure if I want to send it back for exchange or just keep it, as there are plenty of reports of owners exchanging G2's just to get another with the same problem. Looks to me to be a software issue - at least with my G2 - as I can get past it by just turning the screen off/on.
Let us know how your G2 turns out.

Lol just swapped it out. We will see how the new one does but so far way way better. Seriously my phone was horrible. I read and read thread after threads today and my case seemed way worse then everyone else's. Like most people's was tolerable, this was intolerable. I'd say 6 out of 10 times u turned on the screen it be messed up.
I showed the best buy mobile guy and he said without a doubt there's a problem. The best place for me to show him was the app drawer, if u held ur finger on the screen it would bounce and randomly select apps, we tried the demo unit and it worked perfectly.
Ill keep u updated on how this baby does.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Yikes - sorry to hear this.
I wondered if my first G2 was worse b/c I aggressively set it up right from the start: disabling apps I don't want, installing a bunch of apps, etc. On G2 #2, I didn't do that and although I've seen this issue surface on my new G2, it has been just a couple of times.
You need to use whatever phone you get the most enjoyment out of. The G2 undeniably has a software glitch that causes this PIA issue. Too bad it didn't work out for you. Good luck with your Note.
I hope LG addresses this issue SOON!!

Thank you, I hope it works out for you guys and they fix it. I love the phone and want it to work but it just isnt gonna happen right now. Im just gonna cancel my upgrade and I guess eat the $35 restocking fee which I think is crap but oh well.
Ill keep my eyes on the forum and may return to it if they fix the phone cause im not gonna use my upgrade right now. Besides this glitch the phonw is a beast. Good luck...

This happened to a few people here in Thailand. We are posting the issues on a group in facebook.
My iPhone 4s used to bounce all over the place when plugged in to charge.
My G2 hasn't had any hardware issues at all yet. I've had it going on 7 months now. Works perfectly.
My advice is that if you get a replacement or repair and it does it again, never get another LG product again. Just like me an Apple. I'm done with them. There's a guy here who wants his old Note 2 back. I know a guy who had 3 motherboards replaced on his Note 2. The last one broke the screen as the phone was swollen. There's no way of knowing. Its just the luck of the draw with these things.
When you get a really good phone, keep it and use it until it disintegrates. As long as this G2 is fine, I won't part with it for anything.
And yes. This is a hardware issue.

Maybe this can be replaced by the warranty service.

bring it to the service center.. but you will handle the repair.. if your liable for the damage

prices slashed already

2 months in, and tmobile is already taking $120 off the retail price. sales must be horrendous

I bought my G4 about 1 month ago and mention this discount to a representative who credited my EIP $60 as as courtesy.
Through my trials and tribulations with the G4 I was able to submit three different rebates for both the extra battery and the 128 SD card and sold them all on eBay for an additional $270 minus fees... So all in all I'm in the G4 for dirt cheap but I'm still not satisfied with this piece of crap phone.

This root less phone is just not worth anything.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & LG G4

every day I use the phone I find more bugs. I can no longer type fast because it misses so many taps. My phone is froze every morning from the wireless charger, so is my girlfriends. half the time double tapping the volume down won't open the camera. if I get a text my screen will turn on and stay on. it will never turn off until I read the text message. If I have an app up that keeps the screen on and I hit the power button, when I turn the screen back on to check the time it will stay on and never go off, even though still at lock screen. I could go on forever. I bet root would fix 98% of this. I think the worst problem, missed taps, is a hardware issue and cannot be fixed with software or root. I'm afraid the phone is complete ****.

I think everyone that has issues should try one factory reset. I feel like that solved all of my problems. Root would be very nice but not a deal breaker like it used to be for me. Now that I have kids the number one priority for me is the camera, and this is about the best there is.

Root isn't gonna fix any of it. It's not some magic thing that does anything really but make your system partition writable. If you're having all of those issues (and the same to the other people having issues) you've probably just got a bad phone from a bad batch of them. I had to RMA my first one, no further issues. Rather than continuously dump on the phone (which, by the way, I don't particularly care for either, and won't have another LG phone in the future, but my issues aren't with bad hardware/software, mostly company dynamics), try and get it fixed/replaced. Your issues will probably be largely fixed.
The factory reset is also a good idea, and will tend to fix most issues...but in the event it doesn't, simply get it replaced. But honestly the hollering about how bad the phone is...? Overall it's a decent piece of hardware. Not the best, but not the worst by any means. Take matters into your own hands and get the thing fixed/replaced.

I have has two G4 devices, and both have been flawless. I have no tap issues and I'm a fast typer. Then there are the people that have been talking about other bugs. I'm just so happy with my G4. Of course every aspect could be bettered, but that's true with every device. I love the G4 and here in Europe the prices drop on every device sooner or later. Especially in down times where people aren't buying phones. Everyone here is getting ready to go on vacation ...

root will fix most of it what are you talking about. xposed framework will fix almost everything. And I don't continuously dump on the phone, this is a thread about the phone not being that great. If you love it and have no issues go find a new thread. I don't particularly care for your opinion either. I have already had it replaced once. I have every intention on changing it out again, but I'll wait a month or so for them to fix the bugs vs getting another **** phone. I might add that when I spoke to LG they said the Verizon ones are having the most trouble.....and that the only difference was software....so once again I believe root will help.

This thread is about the price cut. OP never mentioned anything about phone being horrible. Keep this stay on topic. Some of us were able to get partial refund. Please don't hijack the topic and steer into wrong subject.
This isn't the place to talk about rooting the device.

I see that now, I hate how the first post appears, I always overlook it. I was off topic.

Already? For contracts they were slashed week one. Free with contract on Amazon

I am perhaps wrong but the G2 and G3 prices didn't go down the same way?

Seriously now, I think most people realize that the g4 is in fact a piece of crap.

Because the S6 and the M9 are so much better..
