I recently obtained a "New-in-box" V20 and quickly got to work with unlocking the bootloader and loading Alpha Omega Rom. As I've been working with it, I noticed a couple of curiosities that make me question its newness, however, and I wanted to run this by the community to see if anybody had any insight. First and foremost, is this level of cutoff under the camera corner normal for LGs?

Secondly, the "hardware info" menu shows over 46 hours of "lifetime calls." Is that counter at all accurate, even after using LGUp to install an exploitable stock rom, Dirty Santa to set up TWRP, and then use TWRP to install the latest available Alpha Omega?
Another odd thing I spotted was that, despite the fact that it is the Verizon VS995 variant, the back cover has the B&O branding instead of the Verizon tramp stamp. Did some of the VS995s ship with this more stealthy design?
Basically, I'm trying to feel out if I have any leverage by which to request an exchange or partial refund for my "brand new" item. I'm still pretty happy with it despite the weird lineup issue, but it's one of those things that you can't exactly un-see .

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.
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.

In light of the emerging Vault 7 dumps, I have begun to wonder if any of the CIA's leaked Android tools could be used to gain or exploit root access/ allow a custom boot loader to be installed on the AT&T G5. If anyone with programming know-how would look into this I'm sure many of us would be interested in any possibilities that might emerge from this avenue.

I will grab a look.. maybe I could end up with some info .
BTW - anyone tried requesting AT&T to release the flashabe version for LG G5?

Yes, I have been asking them for months. I just reminded them we're still waiting last week.
So far, AT&T's employees have been less than accommodating on this front. Some of them have given deceptive answers/ or appear to be unknowledgeable as to the nature of flashing a device.
Phone suddenly ended up like this.

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.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus (TB-X704L), latest firmware:

I noticed a bad touchscreen behaviour when I tap or swipe in the top area (near the top edge - where there are the 2 speakers). If I try to draw a line slowly, it often results in a dotted or strange zig-zag line. This means that, for example, when I scroll a pdf i get a very uncomfortable behaviour. I made ad ad example:
(I also wrote here to receive feedbacks, with no luck.)
It happens with every kind of app.
I tried factory reset and wipe cache, but the problem remained, so i contacted Lenovo assistance. I received (after a month) my tablet from under warranty repair service. They changed my screen with a new one, they wrota "changer screen and passed gerenal testing" but the problem is still here.
Do you also notice that problem? Did you solve it in any way?
Please, answer also if you don't have the problem so i can establish if this is a faulty device or not.
Thank you very much.
