Seven vibrations from hell

hey boys
thought I'd post this to be sure my phone doesn't have a defect.
Sometimes. and I mean Sometimes. Maybe 1 reboot out of 10...
I turn off my phone.
When I turn it back on, my phone vibrates exactly 7 times and stops.
I cannot boot my phone back unless I remove/restore the battery.
Hardware failure imminent or simple bug?

You should plain straightly get your phone checked in Customer Centre- most probably a hardware problem!

hasn't happened since.
when I look back, it happened when I powered on my phone within 2 seconds of the phone completely powering off ...
if I want 1-2 extra seconds, no problemo.

i have the exact same problem. no idea why either.

For what it's worth, I notice that when the phone is going through the boot process right about the time the softkey lights under the screen light up the screen vibrates ever so slightly. I imagine this is normal behavior, perhaps the digitizer or the haptic feedback (engine/service/whatever) starting up. It's a very slight tremor that you might even miss if you're holding the phone in hand.
Is this similar to the issue you two have seen, only stronger?

Time for a new phone?

So in the middle of the day, I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time. I was faced with a black, backlit screen. It'd turn off and back on every 5 seconds or so. I pulled the battery, attempted to turn it on, but I was faced with the same black, backlit screen. It continued the cycle.
I tried powering it on in bootloader mode. This caused the backlight to stay on continuously, but again, nothing on the screen. No M logo, not even a faint hint of text.
Is this phone done for?

It may be possible that it is just the screen, however I do not have the phone to look at it. If you plug it in when it is powered on do you get a recognized device on windows/linux?
The wires connecting the LCD screen could also be loose. If you are at all tech savy you might try taking it apart and looking at it.
The Droid is an amazing phone, but it is getting outdated pretty fast. I still use the Moto Droid and have no problems.
Do you have the insurance with Asurion? if so you can send it in and they charge like $50 to replace the phone.

I would contact the manufacturer/carrier if there is still a warranty. If not, I would still contact to see if there is anything they can recommend, or if they will fix it for a minimal fee. Otherwise, look up how to take apart your milestone/droid on these forums and check for a loose connection or something. If all else fails, you may be able to buy a replacement screen. Those are the steps I would follow, but contact motorola/carrier first no matter what.
Good luck.

[Q] Phone works, screen does not yet sometimes it does

Hello
One night I was using the phone without doing anything special , some video watching . Phone went dark, tried to reboot. Blank Screen and the capacitive buttons flash. Left it to charge all night, in the morning it started but after I pressed the lock button blank screen but phone still working and receiving input.
Took the battery and SD card out left it for 30 seconds then started it again, Stuck at LG logo. Repeat , phone started ... Pressed lock button once then again to unlock , screen wouldn't start.
Used LG Mobile Update recovery tool to restore it ... Didn't solve problem. Sometimes it does not even start , just flashes buttons, other times it does without screen and last all works even the screen until first time goes dark , in the last two cases I can use LG On-Screen Phone without trouble, in doing so I installed a proximity sensor test app to see if it was causing my screen to not come back on , the sensor looked fine.
Facts:
1. Two day old Optimus Black p970, worked like a charm until stated problem
2. The app that checked proximity sensor showed the sensor to be free when my hand wasn't on it
3. The warranty laws in my country are idiotic so I would do or buy anything rather than send it so they can give me a new one in 3 months.
4. Tried another battery from another Optimus, fully charged nothing different.
5. Stock rom.
Do any of you fine people have some ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance

Hi there...
Sometime ago [1 year and a half or so~] I worked at a cell refurbishing facility [there were samsung, motorola and palm devices from sprint] and that problem you have was quite usual. Blank screen, still the phone is somehow usable like reciving calls...
There's this thing called "flex" which is the connector between board and display and that is what we fix, most of the time not even "fix it" just getting it in the right place...
This happen because of excesive use in those sliding or clamshell devices, in OB could be for overheating, you could try to fix it yourself or pay $20 usd [that's what it cost here]

Would that connector explain the fact that sometimes it doesn't start at all? hmm I am thinking now and I guess if it moves and somehow the phone feels it has not display connected it could fail to start... Anyhow thank you

actually yes, it could be only for the flex [some devices don't start at all when not having display or keyboard if there's any] but since our OB is not sliding nor clamshell type probably was overheating.
you say you have stock rom, well now I'm using CM7 but when I was at stock and after using the phone a few minutes it felt warm and some more minutes [like playing gunbros where you need to use both hands and a lot of movement] it was really hot and had to stop playing for a while.
what I'm trying to say is that because of overheating flex could have moved, but because of overheating too may have move something else, you couldn't belive the huge number of micro-things that reside in the board.
so if it's only the flex, it's an easy task to do, just unplug and plug again, but if it's something else it's quite hard to know just looking at it, you need to do some electric measures and stuff, the recomendation is to take it to a tech center or something

Hi. I Have same issue. Two times when i press power buton, butons flashing and screen still black. Phone not responding. I must remove baterry.

Hi there, got the same problem too with my optimus black. Screen goes flickering, shut down don't do any good, and the phone temperature is kinda hot. But in my case it work after I clean some cache and data in the phone storage through LG OSP. After that, the phone temperature back to normal and the phone screen back to normal also. I believe that in my case the phone is overheated.

[Q] SGS got wet - a few issues

It's been almost a week since my SGS got wet. The phone works not that bad, but it has a few issues. Anything I could solve by myself? I can't really find a trustworthy service around my area. Or at least maybe you could tell me what components might got corrupted.
The phone sometimes starts with green screen made by thousand pixels, then slowly changes into white and when I click the main button it's fine and I can enter my pin code.
The colors of the screen are a bit faded. Something like 256 colors. I can post a video if necessary.
When I want to enable the black screensaver it starts blinking from screensaver to blocked screen, 1-3 seconds every blink. Sometimes it's fine, but only sometimes. Also, I can post a video if necessary.
I can call and text only when the phone is set to only GSM mode and packed data is off. When in auto mode or packed data are on then it I can't call or text and ofcourse I can't use the internet without wifi.
When phone is turned off the battery drains very fast.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I seems your screen is damaged, you need to get that repaired.

just yesterday my SGS got in sink i dried it in rice for about 9 hours and now its completely functional. so maybe your water damage is bigger then mine. anyway you should go to service centre because your screen already damaged so unless you have one more amoled screen and know how to replace it. and other issues u have is because of hardware problems... Your shined way is to SC

Thank you for your replies.
The screen after more time works better, just that blinking still bothers.
One more question. That fast battery drain while the SGS is turned off and goes from 100% to 10% of battery in few hours - is it more likely to be a hardware issue or the battery itself?

Verizon LG G2 Screen Issues... NOT the turn on then off issue

I have recently purchased this phone via swappa and haven't had any issues prior to this and that has been three weeks (other than a light leak).
The issue that is happening is the LCD will not turn on. When the phone is unlocked via knock on or power button you can move your finger over where the lock circle would be and feel the vibrations showing that it does register the touch. Then usually I would just hold the power button till it rebooted and this would sometimes fix the problem, on a side note the boot LG logo and boot animation do not show up during this time simply the lock screen would randomly appear.
That is problem, now on to what I tried to fix it. I have put on an entirely different rom and the problem persists, I have also flashed a different kernel on the stock rom with no avail. I at first thought it could be due to a faulty proximity sensor, but the last time the screen was on I checked it with sensor box. One way I have been able to reproduce the problem is after locking it putting it in my pocket and waiting around five minutes, this then will make it so the LCD does not turn on ( Which makes it seem like it has something to do with deep sleep). Also something I just found since I was actually able to find the power off button, the screen also won't turn on when the phone is off and plugged into the charger (this makes it seem like hardware issue). It seems like as long as I keep the phone from going to deep sleep the LCD will turn back on.
Some of this makes it seem like a software issue other things make it seem like a hardware issue. I just was wondering if anyone had any ideas or if I need to buy a new screen, if the mobo is bad, or if I could fix this with software. Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thank you all in advance.
