Doesn't matter if you go to recovery or download mode, it can't display anything else other than that. Is it a hardware problem? If so, what could be the cause?

I think I have the same problem as you, but I can go into download mode and recovery. Another problem also is that my phone also randomly becomes frozen with similar scrambled pixels that while in the middle of a task (i.e. browsing the web, social media, etc.) I would like to ask you, how long have you had this phone for and have you rooted it? Because this problem occurred a few weeks after I rooted it. It could be either rooting it (which triggers KNOX, which is a fuse or something which blows, so it cannot be undone) or a battery issue since my phone is approaching 3 years. It is in light of recent events concerning Apple and with slowing down their phones to prevent things like this. However, I am purely speculating but yeah. As of now, I am not aware of any fix and am pretty sure this is a hardware issue since I have flashed many custom ROMs with no success. (Sorry this is a long read. )

It's definately a hardware issue.

Graphic artifacts randomly appearing

I know the Vega is supposed to be cheap and the screen not the best but for what it is I really like it. However, I've noticed quite a few times now when I'll be doing something or when I pick certain things that I get lots of graphic artifacts on the screen in the form of long lines. It goes away as soon as I leave whatever made it happen and it is repeatable in some cases such as loading a profile image on TweetDeck.
I've got a badly shot blurry photo of the artifacts on the screen but it's clear enough to show what I'm referring to. If anyone has any information on this or, I hope not, think that this may be a problem that will get worse in time please let me know! I've intentionally left this as a full view of the screen to lower blurryvision, it's the lines all over the lower half or left half if held in landscape but this is pretty random and can be anywhere on the screen.

It is a known issue in the 1.08 version at least, and in the 1.09. They're bothersome, but I have never read that these artifacts can create any long-term problems on the device. There's no reason to panic AFAIK.

Weird lines on screen

Well, it started yesterday and it keeps driving me nuts. It's present both in the system as well as 4ext or even the splash screen so it is definitely a hardware issue. Is there any way to get rid of them because my contract ends in november but I was going to stay with my DHD and get myself a PS3 (very nice offer from my carrier)
It looks like that, it's not a screenshot but it looks exactly like that:

what seems to be an officer problem?
the faint horizontal lines on the screen. That is only a picture but live they also flicker.
You could try replacing the screen yourself, but it could happen that the gpu is the problem, in which case you can't do anything on your own...

I remember having the same issue right after I bought my DHD and I remember rooting and reflashing it helped I recently changed my Radio software, you think it might have anything to do?
It's not hardware. I get it on the current versions of the 3 kernel. Synergy said it was to do with fb (not sure what it is) and he's working on it.

FB....hmmm....frame buffer (only thing that comes to mind except FaceBook) Anyway you're a life saviour man! I was worried that I will have to get a new phone.

Random Freezes after Sideloading Lollipop

I sideloaded the OTA from stock configuration about 2 weeks ago, and since have experienced random freezes about 5-6 times.
At first I thought the phone was actually just randomly shutting down on its own since I couldn't turn the screen on, but then I noticed that the notification light was blinking (not red). Also my battery stats show the weirdest thing when this happens -- battery is not discharging, and everything is inactive except for wi-fi. Screenshots below.
Every time this has happened has been after a period of inactivity (after I've put it down for more than 30-40 min). I've experienced no other problems besides this so far.
Has anybody experienced this? Do you think a factory reset would help?
Note the OTA link and sideloading guide I got was from here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2mgh8o/nexus_4_lollipop_ota_link_and_update_guide/

It's called the screen of death, and it's a long standing issue with the N4. See:

Aw crud. I have never experienced this before lollipop and I've had my N4 for 2+ years. Wonder if it would go away if I reverted to Kitkat. In any case, thank you for your answer.

Rogers S5 Lollipop lock screen block text

I updated to 5.0 a while back when Rogers rereleased it, and every once in a while the numbers/letters on the lockscreen keypad will turn to white blocks. The lock screen is the only place that this happens.
Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it besides rebooting the phone?

Bump!
Anyone has a better solution than reboot?
It is appearing on T-Mobile I-9505, I-9515 and G-900F.
Do you use SwiftKey? My girlfriends Canadian GS5 is doing this as well, when I searched the internet I found a reference with regards to SwiftKey not playing 100% nice with Lollipop and causing this blockyness on the lock screen. So far there has been no fix other than reboot... She's been a couple of months now with this annoyance, but luckily it doesn't seem to affect the usability, you just have to know which numbers are which Side note: I have a Nexus 5 and use Swiftkey but don't have this problem.
This is apparently just a general lollipop issue, not really tied to anything just a glitch in android, i dont know a fix just thought id throw that out there.

Phone Shuts down when notifications come

Exactly what the title says it suddenly shuts down with a sort of click sound coming from the speaker's when notifications pop up. I tried silencing notifications but didn't work. I obviously can't block notifications. G4 plus is actually my dad's phone and it's really affecting his work. Any fix cuz this thing started happening after the warranty period more often. In the warranty time it happens like once or twice. Now it happens atleast once every day. Here's a screen shot of the system information if it helps.

I have the same problem.
I was on LineageOS 14.1, so I thought it was a dirty flashing problem.
I full wipe and installed againg Lineage, same behaviuor.
This week I flashed stock firmware (december update), same beahviour.
When I receive a notification (not always, but very frequently) I can hear the very start of the sound and then the phone shuts down.
I loose also the messages/whatsapp/ecc, because shutting down is so quickly that the phone doesn't memorize the notification.
So I can't know who write to me.
Instead, I have no problem when the phone is silent/vibration, but obviously is a problem to have the phone always mute.
I think it's an hardware problem, I'm thinking to sendo it back (it's in warranty).
Any suggestion?
Same problem here also .. When notification comes its automatically shutdown..
