Blinking screen in dimmed mode - LG G Watch R

Hi !
Sometimes when I start my watch It starts to blink in dimmed mode. If I touch the screen it stops and I got standby screen but when it goes to dimmed mode it starts to blink again. It can do this for a while and then work great all day whiteout blinking. Some times it has started to blink after I take it of the charge dock. I tried to reset the watch and when I did that it worked for about a week but today it happened again. Did a new reset and removed some apps from it to see if that helps.
Anyone else with this problem ?

Are you using an original watch-face or some 3rd party solution ?
If it's behaving identical while using one of the pre-made faces, you might have a faulty unit.

I use 3 party watch face. But the strange thing is that my watch works over a week after reset. Maybe it's because I have been doing things with it to much, changing watch faces and so on. Now I have removed some watch face apps to see what happen. It has worked for a couple of days now.

Same for me
My watch R does the same and I'm using the original faces, not a 3rd party one. It started doing this random flashing after about 1 week of use. But I noticed the other night that the charger (the travel adapter that plugs into the wall) was making quite some noise... I'm suspecting it is defective, and that it could have induced the issues on the watch.
Anyhow, contacted LG and am sending the whole package for repair & check, will let you know if the issue disappears. Definitively not acceptable for me to have such a nice smartwatch but behaving like that!

Ok, just did a third reset on mine and removed every apps and I also reset android wear app and started over with a fresh start. Now I'm not using any 3 party apps. Will see if it works, if it doesn't I will also make a warranty claim.
Interesting to see what they will do with your watch, please let me know how it works out for you

Sure

Will let you know what they did to it. I do hope it's a known issue within LG and that they have a fix! Apart from that, it's an awesome smartwatch and I already miss having all the notifications and voice commands on my wrist! Everybody says Android Wear isn't very good yet, but I find it quite powerful already...

omg...seem like i am not alone...
mine is more like steph case....it will flash most of the time when i took it out from charger when 100% charge....it only flash like 3/4 of the screen. the flash is like max brightness.
initially i thought it only happen when i didnt use the adapter come in the package. but when i now use the original adapter, it still happen.
nothing can be done to stop the flashing until i power off the the watch this is depressing. i bought my watch direct from korea. now if warranty purpose, i will need to return it back to seller in korea.

Yeah... seems like a common issue if you ask me, I really hope LG knows how to fix this! In my case it was the same: only the top half of the screen was flashing. The other day, even after 2 reboots it kept doing it, quite annoying. I really thought initially that it was related to the travel charger making this frizzle noise, but seeing both your similar experiences, it is probably not related.
Can't you claim the warranty in Singapore? Before you return yours, let's wait and see if they manage to fix mine! :fingers-crossed:

This morning when I took it from the charging it started to flash, continued to do so even after a restart but then I just left it flashing and after a while it had stopped and now it have worked all day so far. Will probably appear tomorrow again. Will do a warranty claim on mine now.

Where did you bought yours? (I see your nickname and signature so I suppose you are in sweden ) ... Mine is from net-on-net. I have no probems with mine, yet, but, just in case things will start to go wrong, I need to be prepared .

As with any new release, looks like there are some problem units in the wild. I returned my first unit which had putty gray white markings on the bezel, flaky bluetooth and unreliable accelerometer and got a new unit with bright white markings, solid bluetooth and reliable accelerometer. Just like my Surface Pro 3. Took 3 units before I got one without bugs.

X1i. flash always on

Hi!
was working night shift. when I looked on the ground and noticed that the screen on my phone was on. so I graped it to turn it of, when I realiced that it wasn't the screen but the flash on the back next to the camera. its not as bright as when the flash is actually turned on in the camera menu. and the only way I found to turn it of is by pulling the battery out, anyone had/has a similar problem.
Michael
there was someone else who had a post about this before - search "light always on" or something like that but there was a recent post with someone who had the same problem
I did a search. not that i didn't do so before. the only thing that came up was for a different phone (wizard) not for Xperia. been looking around now for the last couple days and haven't been able to find anyone else with a similar problem. well at least on the internet.
any one else

well. send it off to three on monday. they called me back yesterday.
the LED is allways on due to the wiring on the main board being corroded. we have disconnected the wire. because the damage is from corrosion we can't fix it under warranty. we are sending it back to you today.

Sweat (perspiration lol)?
or maybe if you live near the ocean?
When lights are always on like that it does usually mean there was or is some trace of liquid on the circuits or on the led itself.
When you receive the phone, try disassemble it and clean the corroded circuit with alcohol and it should be good, if its only the short causing the led to always receive power.
That sucks though...
I was the first to post about this issue. 4 months on or so and I still have the same problem. The light has remained on all the time since then, although not as high intensity a when the flash is on. It's no big deal, you get used to it, like the led lights on the side of the phone. I'd also like to say this has not impacted on the flash whatsoever. It still works

You mean to say that it has been running non-stop(minus restarts) for 4 entire months???
thats good news for me to know the LED is so durable.
so you haven't tried disassembly and cleaning it yourself, the corrosion that is. I taken my x1 apart already and its not that hard, just have to be gentle.
Yep. Although remember the intensity is not that high as when you switch on the flash to take a pic. And actually even though the phone is off the led remains on. It's the battery you need to take out. So it's been on constantly for the past 4 months.
same problem

[Q] screen issue

Right after I take the watch off the charger, the top 1/8th of the screen flashes white for several minutes. After the watch has been on for a little while it goes away. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else.

I haven't seen it on my watch, but there is a thread or two about this same issue in the G Watch R section. They have the same display, so you might take a look there.

same issue to me, occurs only when I take the watch off the charger. but my screen also flicker and flashes white randomly parts of screen for 25 minutes and remains flickering the top of screen for about 45 minutes more, until it goes away. (don't occurs every day..... maybe once to three times per week) is very frustrating!!!
I think is a firmware issue, (this issue start since 5.1.1 lollipop update)
if someone have or found the solution please share.
thanks
I'm also having similar problems. However, mine isn't happening after charging - it can happen any time.
The first time I noticed it, was right after landing on a flight from UK to US (it had been in theatre mode for the whole flight). Happened a few more times throughout my trip - so I made a recording of it.
I too have the same problem
Any update regarding this issue?
should i ask the seller for replacement or should i keep it?
is this a software or hardware problem.
I'm going to replace mine - but I need to wait for a lug removal tool so I can get my engineer II strap off it and put the original back on.
Bought via Amazon, so thankfully replacement will be straight forward.

Hey guys! Didn't saw this post, so I've made one in the other day... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/watch-urbane/help/white-flat-tire-glitch-update-forced-one-t3193006).
Anyway, it's the exact same problem... But it only happened to me three times... Always after taking it from charging... Besides that, it never appeared in any other situations...
Next week goes take it to warranty... Just to see What they say...
Oh and I've forced the last update by sideload (Android wear Version 1.3 (LCA44B)) ... Anyone like me?

Dead screen ?

My phone's screen just went black suddenly while i was using the phone last night. Nothing i do will wake the screen up, i tried rebooting by holding the power button, tried power+volume down also to boot into recovery .. no response. However the phone seems to be functioning as i can hear the screen lock sound. I think im stuck on the pin screen (the one to pass the boot-up-encryption). theres some vibration and feedback when i randomly press on the screen too.
The device is running Stock 6.0.1 , unrooted , stock kernel. Has this ever happened to anyone else ? could it be a software issue ?
I believe the LCD panel just went dead ..
Thanks!
Have you hooked it up to a computer and tried to see if it's recognised by ADB?

I had a nexus that had a faulty screen and randomly shut off or something half the screen will glitch out and one day it just stopped working but I could hear the lockscreen sounds. Your best bet would be to send it in for service maybe its a loose connecting or a hardware issue. When mine started acting up it was a loose connecting so if I hit the phone with my hand it would go back to normal and then it stopped working. Its a common issue if you do a google search many people have encountered this
That sounds to me like a return-under-warranty job. If you were in the UK you could quote the Sale of Goods Act, which specifies that an item must be of suitable quality and last a reasonable amount of time, but in my case when I returned my faulty N5 to Google after 18 months they were as good as gold, didn't quibble, simply replaced it with a refurbished one which appeared to me to be indistinguishable from brand new.
Since by definition your phone must be very close to its warranty period, depending on when you got it, I'd start with that. This is the link I used from the UK - maybe different if you're elsewhere, but you should find a link called "Get a call from a hardware specialist":

That makes sense. could be just a loose connector between the LCD panel and the MoBo ..
Problem is i live in Jordan and I got the phone from Dubai. Its still under warranty of the seller (Souq.com ; an online store .. kind of like Amazon of the middle east ), So i have to send my phone to Dubai to fix it. Now i could just go to a local phone repair shop and ask the guy to check the connectors, but im afraid that would void the warranty and not solve the problem ;( .

Shut down and won't turn on

Just got my Zenwatch 3 in the mail from Amazon. No problem turning on, connecting to my phone, then as I watched, the screen went black. Okay, figured maybe the battery wasn't charged sufficiently. Left it on the charger for an hour while I was out. No better. Black screen and nothing I do turns it on. I'm not a newbie to the Zen as I have a 2 that never gave me any trouble. Bought this one for the built-in speaker. Now I'm wondering if it was worth the price.
Any suggestions? I've had it for about 3 hours now and not at all happy.

If all you done is "watch" the screen after turning the watch on and done nothing
else and you cannot turn it on again then you need to send it back to Amazon and
have it replaced.

Hold down the middle and lower buttons until you feel the watch vibrate twice (probably about 30 seconds) as long as the battery is charged. I had one do the same thing the first time I tried to use it.

Did all that. Then called Asus tech support. She had me do it all over again, then told me to send it back to Amazon, which is exactly what I'm going to do. Thanks for the feedback!

Nail on the head [BOOM!] I tried all the usual fixes, tried all the stuff that I found online, called Asus tech support, did all the stuff again under their watchful [see what I did there?] eye, and I've already begun the exchange process at Amazon. Annoying, but what can you do, right?

HUGE mistake sending anything back for "repair " before trying all your options - For those people whose first advise is "send it back" -- point out your level of expertise -
I just had the same problem with my Zen 3 . I had a bad app that drained the watch completely . And the middle button nor the Mid and Lower would bring it back. Called ASUS .. Immediately "Send it back..". Well Frigg you Ying Hao. This is brand new and god knows what other people's problems I'll get when you send me a refurb.
The solutions was EASY.
Plug the power connector to the watch , wait 20 seconds THEN press Middle and Lower. Now the watch HAS a steady power source to reboot.
DONE.
Apps are a HUGE source of problems . 90% of these developers are just selling a pretty face , the inner workings are ****.
Zenwatch 3 not working
I have bought zenwatch 3 on 31st august 2107. It worked fin for 12 days. Today on 13th September 2017, it is refusing to switch on. Even it is not charging. Went to service center they are saying it will have to be replaced which will take a month. And even from where I bought their replacement time has lapsed. Can anyone help me with troubleshooting???
Please help me guys. It is urgent.

Ghost touch on top edge

Hello. Since few weeks I have extreme problem with ghost touch issue on Just top of the screen where the notifications are. I've turned on the programist options in order to see where it happens.
It looks like multiple ghost touch on the top edge on hole width. Sometimes the area respond to my touch, but most of the Time does not.
Happens random, case or screen protector is not the problem, tried all the options.
I have found some solutions from pocophone, but neither of them works.
Disabling gestures, miui optimalization, screenshot gestures, non.
Tried factory reset, updating to miui 11, nothing improved. After factory reset no problem for 1 day, not sure if there is a correlation.
I Will try to record the problem when it Will happen again.
Do you have any advice? I have warranty but at this moment would like to try all avaible solutions. Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Here is my video how it looks
https://photos.app.goo.gl/qnSkPZ6UwYVqsYY88
ooooh man, finally someone with the same problem, and cant find why its happening
it happens randomly, but when its happening the only way i can stop it is tighting it as if choking it. i dont want to send it to warranty.....
Well I am going to send it to warranty next week. I dont like the fact that I Will he without the Phone for a month, but hope they Will change the screen and it Will be fine.
My first xiaomi, always had Samsung and everything was alright. Phone in overal is great but I am very disappointed with this issue.

Im the same, just noticed, after 2 days without issues that i was recording a telegram audio and it happend, idk its kinda clueless always
Man, definetly it has something to do with software, just a few moments before posting this i had the issue and it didnt want to leave so i had to restart the phone, first time this way.
Guys I found out what's causing the issue!!! It's not software or hardware. If you have the original Xiaomi case that comes with the phone it causes the ghost touches! I tried removing it 2 times and each time I put it on I experience the ghost touches and each time I remove it they stop for 1+ day which means that the case is causing them. My guess is that tiny particles are stuck between the case and the phone making it do this.
had this on my previous phone, had to rma it

Guys I found out what's causing the issue!!! It's not software or hardware. If you have the original Xiaomi case that comes with the phone it causes the ghost touches! I tried removing it 2 times and each time I put it on I experience the ghost touches and each time I remove it they stop for 1+ day which means that the case is causing them. My guess is that tiny particles are stuck between the case and the phone making it do this.

Just found i had a spigen clear case(bulky) and since i got back to Xiaomi's case it is happening a lot less than before.
My problem happens even without the case, and I used Nillkin Nature. Phone is in service currently. When it gets back I will tell you
Lol, how can this be? I believe you, though.
But oem case doesn't even touch the screen properly.

Any update on your phone? Touchscreen problem solved?
Problem arrive when using 3 finger swipe for screenshoot. there is solution on net about this problem, instead 3 finger swipe just use power buton and vo- for screen shoot
Ho boy, Looks like this is a common issue, I thought it's just me and I had to live with it with this ghost touch, Particularly when dragging the notification screen and clicking on the settings it won't respond had to do multiple times. S/W update, reset nothing helped. Last week one genius broke my screen and I had to spend and replace it. After replacing the screen I'm not noticing this issue anymore.

As I wrote, tried everything, also disabling screenshot gesture. Problem is hardware, after warranty screen replacement everything is working fine.
At first also had problem with dragging down notifications bar, screen was not responding. Then I turn on touch location in developer options and saw that there is ghost touch in that part. Day after Day it became more disturbing to the point I could not use the Phone.
You can buy whole screen on Aliexpress and change it by yourself if You dont have warranty.
I hope Xiaomi fixes this for those affected. The Redmi 5 Plus had widespread problems with the touchscreen which is why I bought the Mi9T Pro. Not had this myself but I'll be fuming if it ever happens to my Mi9T Pro.
I've still got the Redmi 5 Plus and it's been pretty horrific - the issues started whilst it was in the warranty period and then continued/worsened from there on out. I could kick myself for not getting it serviced in-warranty. Xiaomi essentially sold a lot of people faulty devices; many complain of ghost touching / non-responsive behaviour over on the R5P XDA sub-forum like it's a ROM bug.
I'm also facing this issue of phantom touch or ghost touch.
It's really annoying. I guess screen replacement is the only solution as I've tried almost all options mentioned in various internet sources.
Xiaomi sucks..!
