Black lines in screen after installing xposed - Verizon LG G2

Hey guys, I installed xposed yesterday on carbon ROM on my g2 and ever since, I've had a strip of lines on the right side of my screen. Anybody else experience anything like this?

Return it to stock and take it back to Verizon for replacement if it's still under warranty, otherwise you're going to need to pay LG or someone else to replace the display. Wasn't necessarily Xposed that caused it, there's been a number of things that cause it to happen. Bottom line is the pixels are now dead on the LCD panel, that's why it doesn't show on your screen shot.
Plenty of threads on the issue if you want to know more.

Curious if you think it needs to be returned to stock for an insurance return/replacement?

Just to be safe, it doesn't take long to do it, resets the rooted status to unrooted also..

Is something wrong with my camera?

Whenever I take a picture, the end result will always be a little blurry and have yellow tinting towards the left side of the picture. To some extent, the life side even has an entire bar going across it. What can I do with my problem?

Seems like a hardware issue to me, I'd return it.
Good luck

Alright thanks but do you think that this will be covered under the warranty?

I would be highly surprised if it would not. Especially if your phone is still newish. Just say no user error could ever cause this.

Thanks I'll give it a shot. Anyways, does warranty usually replace the entire phone or do they usually just repair the damaged areas?

Depends, my carrier swaps out defective units for a new one right away if it's 2 months old or less. Otherwise it gets send away for repair.
I'd steer the conversation towards a new one in any case...
Buddy had same issue took it back got a knew one never asked a question had it for only like a week tho
Alright so when your provider decides to replace the phone for warranty, will you have to wait a few days for the new phone or will they give you a new one on that same time?

Wife's Note 3 shows "custom" at bottom?

I never noticed this but couple days ago, my wife's note 3 started to lock up constantly throughout the day. I told her these things happen sometimes and to just take the battery out, and put it back in and let it restart. When she did this, I realized under the SAMSUNG on bootup, there was an unlocked padlock with the wording CUSTOM under it. I was shocked and confused how this can be...
I asked her about it, and she said it's been like that since we got the phones. She remembers at the AT&T store that the seal was broken off by the salesman, so there is no way it was a returned phone.
What gives? ATT is going to give her a refurb phone, but she's very mad because we've had the phone for 2 months and had no idea she had an unlocked phone, and she shouldn't be penalized for getting a 'used' phone.
They told her that it was the nova launcher that is causing the issues, becuase it's an unofficial app. these people....
I told her maybe she got lucky and got a dev phone (too bad dev phone keeps locking up lol)
any ideas on this?
try running the "root checker" app on it. Mine showed it after I first flashed it.

They are stupid. It's not Nova.
I highly doubt it is a dev phone... But if it is, I would love to see the model number of the device and system info. Would you be willing to post that info?

sure, i will try to get it to you guys.
This is hilarious, I installed nova before I root my phone, and there was no custom and pad lock when reboot, the custom and pad lock only showed up after I rooted my phone, the custom and pad lock had remained on the screen even I unroot the phone. I think your wife got a returned phone.
It still had all the seals on it!!!
here are the pictures. she got a replacement phone, and that is messed up too. the screen fails to turn on. everytime you press ON, the phone vibrates, but nothing from screen. She said after she took battery out etc, THAT phone ended up with the custom logo at bottom too. I have no idea what she's doing to these phones!!!!
I thought the custom only happened when you rooted it and placed safestrap or a recovery on them.
Looks normal to me.its not a developer edition.
I am curious as to why it is throwing this Custom status when it isn't.
I assume both are complete stock. no root, etc.

i would use the return to MJ5 stock thread and flash the odin MJ5, then the MI9 fix and then the proper Mj5 files again and see if that clears up the issue. something seems to be lingering in the system that gives it the "custom" status.

I might have to do that, but what a hassle. this woman just wants to use her phone! Might do a factory reset for her, see how that works out..

here is the link to the Back to MJ5 stock thread, in all honesty once you get the files downloaded it only takes about 20 min to have the phone booting back up to stock MJ5 "WithOut ROOT" i just did this about 2 weeks ago. it DID get rid of the "custom" status and recovered my brick at the same time.
def worth trying!!!
You can root with kingo and use triangle away to remove the custom status.
As far as the other issues, a factory reset might help but a restore will be more likely to get rid of everything causing problems

My first note 3 did that too, a few days before it went into bootloops. Something was wrong with it. Att swapped it as it was within the first 2 weeks.
Swap it out is my suggestion, If you still can. It may start going wrong one day.

WHat I might do is, go to the ATT store with BOTH phones, and show them how this one keeps locking up (well I can't show that probably as it's random) but I can show the custom thing.
then I can show the refurbished phone that I just received and how the screen fails to turn on.
hopefully the corp store can get the idea, and give me a new phone or something

OH CRAP NO!!!!
if they SEE the custom status, they will not even deal with you unless you get a really cool rep. They instantly think that you tried to ROOT the phone and that is why you have ANY ISSUE you are talking about. i would not bring that phone into the store looking like that bruh.
the custom status is a symbol for root/modded phones. just do the stock restore, and IF at that point you want to take it back go for it. at least you will not have the custom lock screen going against you.

The point is not how to get rid of the custom logo, the point is why OP's wife brand new Note 3 sealed in the box has the logo, ATT should exchange it with a new phone not an refurbished.

i feel that, but what you are saying is that you want ATT ( big brother so to speak ) to admit that sent him a modded phone? WONT HAPPEN!!!
they will accuse her/him of tinkering and that is what caused the custom logo. even IF it came that way. i dont see them eating that blame as im sure they have quality control and procedures in place that should catch that kind of slip. and if it did slip through....you expect them to say yep your right we screwed up.
things happen, but i dont see them being ok with that....lol
I did be real mad if I bought the phone contract or not only found out it's been tempered.

i would too, but being mad will not change there view of a custom phone. best you can do is either fix it yourself ( stock odin packages ).
Orrr go into the store and HOPE you get a rep that doesnt know what the CUSTOM logo means.

[Q] xPosed caused signal loss??

After installing xposed on my S5, I kept losing service. Sometimes wouldn't even realize for a while (had my daughter call me on my work phone asking what's up with my phone)
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem or if it was caused by a specific module I used?? I had most of the Galaxy ones installed as well as the Framework (only mod that worked was to add custom text to my notification bar)
No signal issues here. I'm using wanam, app settings, gravity box (to swap recents/menu), greenify, isis root bypass and g touchwiz.

Same issue here on xperia Z1, android 4.4.4. Installed Xposed, activate framework and reboot -> signal loss. Restoring ROM, ejecting and then inserting SIM card did not help
It's not xposed... I went back to stock unrooted and the problem still existed. Called AT&T and they had me go to get a new SIM card... it's doing it still today GRRRRR I've gotta get rid of my custom boot image (flashing android) and Dr. Who sound byte on boot then I'm calling them back and getting a warranty replacement. I'm honestly severely dissatisfied with this phone. When it's time for an upgrade I will NOT be purchasing another Samsung device.

I would just flash back to stock & see if it comes back. If that doesn't work, the radio may have just coincidentally gone bad in the middle of modding. I see a lot of S5's & no problems with signal so I wouldn't give up on Samsung yet if this is your only issue.
BTW if you go into your settings, about device, status screen, does your imei still show up?

That's not the only issue...I'm upset about the bootloader being locked and the charging port flap no longer stays shut.

I feel you on the bootloader issue.. everyone here does lol. I haven't seen the flap problem but you're definitely not having the best luck with the S5. Hopefully it's a fluke but make sure you're completely stock when you send the old one back b/c if they find any evidence that you voided the warranty (flashing, rooting, etc) they don't notify you, they just bill your account $400 and keep the phone.

Did you try one of the USSD codes for a Hard reset on your old S5 (*2767*3855#)? Sometimes they fix a little bit more than a normal factory reset.

I thank you. Yea I'm finding it hard to get signitures as I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, just don't want my info allover the net. So if you would help spread the word amongst the developing community that would help, this applies to anyone who cares about what we do here. Again I thank you for your support.

Black lines in screen?

So I was using my vs980 today and I unlocked it and noticed columns of dead pixels along the right hand side. This phone was bought in may and has always been in a case and has never been dropped. Is this a known issue with the phone? Do I bring it to Verizon or contact LG?

Known issue. Usually occurs after flashing, but has been reported not always the case.
If you're rooted, return to stock and warranty that bad boy.

Nope. Just make sure it says unrooted in settings and in download mode. I also went in and registered the my Verizon app and played a bit, just to make sure. But that's probably not necessary.

I've been reading online about it and it seems to happen to certain panels. Do I need to flash a different kernel to fix it? I noticed that when using the phone that some of the lines will disappear then reappear. I also have the jdi panel if that helps.

Once the pixels are dead, you need a new panel.
Mine went on me yesterday when I was restoring a rom, just flashed it back to stock last night so I can take it in the store and get it replaced.
When did you buy yours? I would rather bring it into the store than warranty it.
Well Ive gone from six black lines to four. They keep disappearing.

[Q] Bootloader status

I'm considering sending my device to Houston for repairs as the camera issue with the pink\purple\blue tint is becoming unbearable.
I'm wondering what others have done in the same scenario as me.
My phone is currently unlocked, S-OFF, SUPER_CID, custom ROM, stock kernel.
Did anyone else bother returning anything to stock?
Did anyone get their device returned to them unharmed as far as the unlocks\other things I mentioned?

You told them that you had installed a custom Rom etc? Surprised they didn't tell you it violated warranty then. I would put it all back to stock anyways, regardless of what you told them
Yeah the 2 specialists I talked to were pretty cool about it. He said they'd probably swap out the entire main board anyway so anything I did would be pointless.
The warranty is technically expired by like a month or 2
