i recently updated my A890 From 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 BOJE
After updating , my phone started disconnecting from wifi and Freezes with an annoying noise for 10 seconds then reboots.
i absolutely love this device and do not want to change it. please help me if i could solve this issue by uploading a custom rom or updating to CP12 or 14 MM.
before updating my phone. it usually restarted after a few days when gets hot or i accidentally over swipe the screen.
please help me as this phone has started making noisy restarts every now and then.
Quick Note
i ran this device in safe mode and used for couple of hours on youtube over wifi.
i had no issues at all. so basically it's just a firmware issue. i guess.
help needed anyways
Hi, use this thread to update to 6.0.1 and this should fix your problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3260744
I'm using this device in safe mode now. While replying to this thread . I have updated to 6.0.1 but the problem still remains the same.
Any dev could help ?
I had restart issues in 5.0.2 as well but they were minor
Now it hangs every single minute and disconnects from WiFi constantly .
Please help me

"Hi Guys,
I've read this post a while ago, and I tried everything you said, but non of them worked. I have Samsung Galaxy S6, Gold, 128GB. Not edge. So, I read a lot of articles on the net and youtube. But my cell phone kept restarting from time to time and no warnings, sometimes it's just turn itself off without any warning. Most of the time I keep it on my desk where I work and suddenly it's making the song of rebooting or sometimes I find it just turned off, it could be deep sleep I never knew which of which. I tried every single solution to solve this, made back up, Restore factory defaults and it kept doing it.Probably you would say, uninstall apps that are causing the problems then I say, I have non. I only use What'sUp, imo, Tango. I don't have any other apps. It's just brand new bought from Verizon and it has of course Verizon apps and google, Samsung apps. I tried everything in the youtube, google but for vain. One day I was tampering with the settings and I found one of the settings with a weird message. I changed it then it is working 100% like a machine guys. Here is the settings and the warning message:
Go to Settings => Display and wallpaper => Screen mode => the default selection would be: Adaptive display.
When I reached this one, I read the following warning message:
"Optimize the color range, saturation, and sharpness of your display automatically. This mode may not be compatible with third-party apps."
This message draw my attention and I told myself, let's try this.
You can choose any other of the settings and non of them will show a warning message, so, I selected "AMOLED photo", I liked its colors more than cinama or basic, and voila...
I changed this settings since August 17, 2015 and I'm writing this on August 27, and never had even one restart or self turn off. it's now solid like a rock and working like a machine, very stable.. never better.
Please guys try this solution and spread the word if you find it useful.
Thanks a lot"
I'm having a somewhat similar issue. My S6 Galaxy Active is just randomly shutting down. Say I call somebody and they don't answer; I set my phone down after hitting the power button to lock the screen. Twenty minutes later I go to check it, and it's just off. I have to turn it back on and now don't know if I received a call or not (unless a voicemail was left) and it's very annoying.
This started out rare and has now become more frequent. At first it wasn't too often and generally only happened when the phone was "resting" on a desk or my bed with the screen off. In my last call with my girlfriend it shut down THREE TIMES during our conversation.
Now, during the conversation the phone was against my head so the screen was still off. I haven't ever noticed it happening with the screen on. This has started to happen within minutes of a prior shutdown, like 40 times a day, and it's insane. While I'm not 100% sure I'm about 90% that it only happens while the screen is off. It's not restarting, it shuts down completely and remains that way until I power it on again. It's not buttons being pushed accidentally as it will be set down entirely by itself and still shut down.
Another, possibly related, problem is that sometimes the screen is blank. I'll turn the phone back on and will hear the startup sounds, but there is just no picture. The screen is dead. I will have to force-shutdown the phone (volume down + power) to fix this. Sometimes it restarts with no screen again and I have to do this several times, but it always is fixed eventually. This happens much less frequently than the shutdown problem but is still an annoyance. I've also noticed some... flickering, while the phone is in use. This is even more rare but has also started to happen a bit more. I'm not quite sure how to explain it... a portion of the screen may compress, or "wrap" around. For instance, the bottom portion of the screen (let's say the bottom 1/8th of it, if you divided it with horizontal slices) will "wrap" and be shown at the top, distorted with random discolorations (generally purples, greens) along with sometimes being twisted at an angle. This usually happens for a few seconds and goes away.
My main concern is that I've taken great care of this phone. It has never been dropped outside of slight falls from pocket/hand level onto carpet. It's never been submerged or even gotten wet at all. On top of all that, it's an ACTIVE! It shouldn't really matter if it DID get wet; regardless, although it's an Active it's been cared for as if it weren't. This simply cannot be a result of physical neglect unless somebody is sneaking into my house at night to chuck my phone at a wall. The phone is... I'd say a year and a half old? I bought it when the S6 was still the newest Galaxy, I believe AT&T had somewhat recently obtained the rights to sell it. I'm sure I could find the exact date of purchase if it mattered.
I didn't want to make an entirely new thread for this, but I'm sorry if I've hijacked this one. If I should make my own thread instead I will, I just figured keeping the main boards clear of clutter was a better choice.
Thank you to anybody that can help. I'm guessing my only options are "replace it" or "take it in" but I'm hoping there's a solution. I know I can wipe the cache, factory reset, etc. I will add that I am very, very full in terms of memory; I might have around 500gb free. I'm not even sure what's really taking up all the space as all my music is in the Cloud, I'd have to check, I guess Apps? The Active not having an SD slot really sucks. I don't think low free space could result in shutdowns, I work in the IT industry and can't think of a reason why it would... unless something absurd is happening, like the phone is running out of RAM, trying to use SWAP, there's not enough space (although it would be pre-allocated and this wouldn't happen, no?) and so it shuts down? I don't know.
I'm thinking it might be as simple as a loose battery connection, as so far my tests seem to show that this DOES NOT HAPPEN while the phone is plugged in, so it seems like some sort of quick power failure? Unfortunately I am unable to check the internals myself as I do not want to void any potential warranty; I think I may have purchased the replacement plan and will be checking tomorrow. If I'm going to void my warranty it's going to be with a root, not exploratory surgery (at least not until I'm 100% sure what to look for). Anyways, thanks for any help.

So, I was just using my Diamond to take a photo. After taking the photo, I went to take another and it said "Could not initialize camera" or something like that. I reset the phone using ResetManager, but when it came back on, the screen was not displaying anything and none of the LED's are working.
Now, the phone is working, but I can't see anything! I know it's working, because when it turns on, it vibrates, and if I plug it into my computer, it functions as a USB drive (I can see files on it).
Why is my screen suddenly not working? I tried removing the battery and putting it back in, didn't help. I tried holding the red reset button, didn't help.
Any ideas?
I'm using the most recent version of Dutty's rom (ignore what my sig says).
...quick update:
just reset tried to do a hard reset on the phone (hard to do since i can't even see anything on the screen) and turned it on.
when it came on, the LCD is working, but there is no backlight. there is a message saying something like "microp version mismatch 0" then "please upgrade latest microp firmware"
after that, it goes to the normal touchflo home screen, but there is no backlight.
i am going to try to load the latest (v3.4) version of dutty's rom to see if that works. if not, what should i do?
ok just got off the phone from someone at HTC USA support (866-449-8358).
he had no idea what the problem was. had me to a reset though the settings (clear device storage)
phone turned back on. still no backlight after completing all the steps.
then he transferred me to the "repairs" department. the guy there told me that he only deals with hardware repairs.
the repair dept told me that they didn't know what to do either, and told me to ask on www.htcwiki.com
apparently no one at HTC USA (or at least, no one i've talked to) knows about this problem.
ugh now what do i do?
What happens if you flash it with the latest original rom just to test???

haven't tried that because i don't have a copy of it...where can i download the latest official HTC rom?
at present, everything functions on the phone EXCEPT for the backlight & key LED's. the strange part is that the center (OK button) white LED does still work.
by the way, i got an email back from HTC tech support. here is what they said to do:
Thank you for your inquiry on your Touch Diamond.
I know how frustrating it can be to not have your device function the way it should. If you have any Third Paty Software on the device I would suggest removing that as a start. If that has no effect on the issue, we can hard reset the device. This will reinstall the operating system to the device and determine if it is software or hardware related. If this does not fix the issue, the device will need to be repaired.
Please follow the following steps to perform a factory default reset:
1. Press and hold both the Volume Down and OK keys (the bottom key on the left of the phone and the center, circular key on the face of the phone).
2. Insert the stylus tip into the reset hole at the entrance of the stylus holding slot (as if you were doing a regular soft reset). Once the screen goes blank release the stylus.
3. When a prompt on the screen appears asking if you wish to clear all data on the device, press the Volume Up key as indicated by the prompt.
4. Allow the device a couple of minutes to fully restart and let all device customizations finish before touching any button or tapping on the screen.
HTC Repair’s number is 1-888-617-1113. The hours of operation for HTC Repair is Monday through Friday 8 AM – 8 PM EST.
I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

no one has a solution to this problem? am i the only one who is having the microp firmware error and a non-functioning backlight?
tell you what. i'll offer $40 via paypal to whoever can give me (correct, working) info to fix the microp firmware error.
I had the same problem you had. It had been going on for a couple of months. Screen which stayed black after ending a call or after some time of inactivity it also stayed black after pressing the power button. When I soft resetted my diamond it vibrated, but the htc startup animation didn't show up, also after several soft resets.
I got my diamond only working by taking out the battery. Sometimes even when I put in the battery in after some seconds, it still remained black when I turned it on. Most of the times I had to take out the battery and leave it out for some minutes. After 5 or 10 minutes I put it in and it started the normal way. But after half a day or so I got the black screen again and had to remove the battery again.
I use original Dutch stock rom 1.93 with some tweaks. Nothing special or so....I managed to install a remote control utility so I could see the screen on my laptop. One day I got the exact same error you had. So I called HTC support in The Netherlands. They sent me an email with an UPS receipt so I could send it to EuroTwice, which takes care of the repairs for The Netherlands and Belgium. I could track the repair online and noticed that they couldn't find any error. I got my diamond back last week and when I turned it on, guess what....the screen remaind black. It did vibrate when booting, but the HTC startup logo didn't show up again. The repair ticket (the paper one I got with my diamond when I got it back) also mentioned that they couldn't find any error whatsoever and that they hadn't modified a thing on my device. Bad ****.
I then remembered that I had an extra insurance/warrenty I bought that together with my diamond, just in case. I went back to the store (something I should have done much earlier) and they tested it again, but because of the extra insurance/warrenty I got a brand new diamond. This one works perfectly. Tweaked it again and my screen doesn't turn black anymore. Haven't soft resetted my device in 4 days now.
So I should suggest to go back to the store and demand a new one.
I attaced the screenshot of the error I had...Btw...I bought my device on july 27 this year and got an new device last week. Normally you can get a new device here when the product doesn't work as it should within 3 days or something. It's worth a shot....

wow long story. so i guess i'm #$^$ed at this point.
i can't believe no one knows how to fix this, when it's obvious some sort of software/firmware error - not hardware.
i've offered a $40 reward for anyone who can fix this problem, but no bites so far.
i bought my diamond online back in june or july...i doubt the store will cover it with warranty. maybe i need a new phone
Maybe you can send the screenshot I made to HTC and ask them how to fix this. Or at least refer them to this thread. You said you bought it online. From a webshop or 2nd hand on ebay or something ? If you bought it in a webshop it's worth contacting them.
Furthermore I don't know how the legal stuff works in your country, but in The Netherlands we have a kind of protection for customers when it comes to products and their economic life. This means that for some devices the manufacturer has to repair it for free. For instance a washing machine or television. You can expect that it lasts for a minimum of 4 years. If it breaks down after one year or so, you can take it back to the store and they have to repair it. The vendor has to prove that you are to blame for the malfunction of the product, but in 99% of the cases they simply can't. Good luck with this matter.

I'll pass on that screenshot...but who knows if it will help. HTC hasn't been too helpful so far...
anyone have any more info on how to maybe fix this?
anyone? anyone?
i'm still stuck with a phone that has NO BACKLIGHT!
i also just realized that the Wi-Fi is no longer working.
grrrrr....
ok $50 to whoever can fix the microp problem on my phone!
Have you installed the original rom yet?? By a full reset the original rom is not comming back only your duttys. If you did not flash it yet with original you should do it. When the problems after this stil occur you can send it to a repair shop. Normaly this is then under waranty.
No point of discussing when original rom has not been tried.
You can download original rom from the HTC site.
Grtzzzz
Hey man be sure You´re not the only one with this prob...check this:

I got this error on saturday n till yesterday I was tryin to find out somethin to fix it....the conclusion is - yesterday I sent it for warranty repair
Even with no display and buttons I flashed stock 1.93xx ROM and also stock 1.93 SPL - nothing changed...problem remained. I was unable to do Hard-reset ´cause "reset button" didn´t work. And very good notice - a few days before this stuck I couldn´t turn on wi-fi. I didn´t realize that it has somethin with this problem till now - I see You got same symptoms
Really didn´t find the solution so only way was to send for reapir to authorized service. Off course like a warranty service n I hope that I didn´t lost warranty - couldn´t proof if flashin of stock SPL was really succesful - but PC didn´t show any errors after the whole procedure...
I have an HTC Dream/G1 that's having a rather odd issue. When the screen is flipped open, it appears to behave exactly as it should. When the screen is closed however, the display becomes a mess of vertical lines (or sometimes just fades to black) and does not respond.
One need only "sleep" the phone and "wake" it after flipping the screen up to bring it back to normal operation. This only lasts until the phone is again closed. I've included a couple of screen captures to help illustrate the issue. I've searched and searched and found absolutely nothing about this problem anywhere.
I'm currently running Firmware 1.6, CyanogenMod-4.2.7.1 with Cyanogen recovery. Everything was working fine and the phone suffered no trauma prior to this issue presenting itself. It literally happened while the phone was sitting idle on a coffee table. I've tried reflashing the phone (including reverting to Dreaimg.nbh and starting "from scratch") to no avail.
It does not appear to be an issue with the ribbon cable (no amount of flexing the cable or moving the screen has any effect). The display behaves properly throughout its movement up until the exact point at which it switches to "closed" functionality (approximately 80% closed). It appears to be something related to the hardware after it switches to "closed mode". My shot-in-the-dark guess is some form of chip-failure related to the phone's orientation detection as the vertical lines do not change regardless of orientation or touch-input. Again, that is just a guess.
If no one here has any recommendations, I will likely perform exploratory surgery and barring any obvious hardware failures, will likely be forced to replace the phone. If I do manage to resolve the issue (with or without outside help) I will surely assemble a how-to so others may resolve the issue in the future.
Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions, and for existing in the first place. You are the reason technology is fun.
EDIT - As pjcforpres kindly pointed out, I neglected to include the fact that the display failure is present regardless of boot state. It behaves this way upon initial "G1 screen" boot and even in the recovery console. This is appears to be further support for the idea that it is indeed a hardware failure.

Does it do this while in recovery/boot loader as well? Is there anyway when closed to get it to work correctly?(I think your answer will be 'no' but just double checking)...
Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot to include that important bit of information. Yes, the phone behaves this way regardless of boot-state. Even with the initial "G1" screen displayed or in recovery mode, closing the screen brings about the display failure. No amount or configuration of screen or button operation seems to bring about the appropriate closed screen behavior. I will edit my original post with this information if I can. Thanks for looking and responding!
I didn't read your post
But my dads g1 did this.
It's a hardware ribbon, not software.
Go get a return or exchange for a new g1 because yours is defective.
That makes me think hardware then... not sure what though? Like you were saying, if there is an open/close switch of sorts that would be my bet. It could be the flex cable as well, and when it close that much it gets pinched, and happens to coincide with the orientation flip. But then it wouldn't take sleep and unsleep to go back right when opened, I would think... so we are back to it probably being the orientation sensor switch being funky like a monkey.
Well, I just tore it completely apart and put it back together to no avail. I made the assumption that the LCD flex cable was not the cause because of the behavior (only happening at a precise position, having to sleep then wake the phone to recover, etc...). It appears, however, that this assumption was incorrect. On Icebergxx's suggestion I decided to give it another look. I wedged a tool in against the cable and with various forceful flexing I can recreate the issue even with the screen fully extended. Luckily it appears the LCD flex cable is available on ebay for $24. Thank you so much for your responses. I'll dig around for a flex cable replacement guide, if a sufficient one does not yet exist, I will take the opportunity to share. Thanks again!
You're so handy its admirable haha good luck buddy glad to have helped.
Happy to hear it is just the flex cable! I was worried with the way it was acting it was something worse, just the whole not coming back to life when opened without sleeping then un-sleeping.
Charged my G Watch R last night as I always do and put it on this morning. Noticed at my breakfast meeting that it had froze earlier on 6am when it was now gone 7.
Pressed and held the power button for 8 seconds to restart and now just get this:

It's still working underneath as it vibrates with notifications and calls etc.
UPDATE: Randomly as I'm writing this post the screen comes back to the normal face, I have a go to flick through my notifications then it freezes on email and won't move even when the power button is pressed but again is vibrating on notifications.
Obviously it will need to go back but wondering if anyone else has had similar issues?
Thanks
Try a full reset before returning it.

I havent had that issue? Odd for sure. Check over in the Moto section if anyone has.
In the brief moments the screen returned to normal I managed to initiate a factory reset, it rebooted with the LG logo and set back up but within minutes it went back to how it is in the photo.
Thanks for your replies.

Blinking screen in dimmed mode
Skickat via Tapatalk
Our devices were meant to be together
My LG G2. Same situation. I just have to whack it on a table a once or twice and it goes back to normal.
I had that pixelated screen popping up once, while I was testing some heavy customisations on the watch maker app ... since I'm using faces with less objects I did not saw that weird screen.
I suggest to do a factory reset or to choose one of the default watch faces ... anyway, something else than what has been on when that stuff occurred.
I had the same issue with my first one
Mine did this after getting fully charged, i had it next to me on the table ready to be strapped on when it happened.
I am amazed you could reboot, mine did not even responded to the main button any more, got really hot also.
after an hour in the box (ready to be send off back to the retailer) it did a spontaneous reset, and showed 5% battery left. I turned it off and send it back, my second one developed the blinking issue in dimmed state, so also back, now on my third one. I do hope this one will be all right, i love it dearly! The recessed screen prevents the random activations i had with the LG G, bloody annoying when playing music with Music Boss, pause/play every few seconds when my sleeve touched the screen..
I wanted to post the photo of the crashed screen, but i am not allowed yet

My match Same situation.
i need hepl.
I'm not sure if it might be an LG thing but I had the EXACT same thing start happening with my Nexus 5 a couple of weeks ago. The screen would freeze and be pixilated but the device would be working and ring and vibrate for notifications. I don't know what triggered it but coincidentally it was right after the lollipop update that it started to happen. A reboot usually (but not always) solved it. LG replaced the device as it was still under warranty.
Sent from my Oneplus One using XDA Free mobile mobile app.
Huh, that sounds troubling, but then again, this is the first time i hear of this on the Nexus 5, so maybe it is a software problem after all, I hope the soon to be release 5.0.2 will fix this, at least it seems to fix the battery problems some seem to have after the 5.0 update and the performance issues some see on the Nexus 7 slabs.
But as LG has swapped your N5 for a new one, i am very afraid they have a real quality issue in their production line!

Strange, for me it was the other way around: the pixelated screen just appeared out of nowhere... It did seem to respond to button actions, so I decided to keep the button pressed very long.
Result: it rebooted, and I have never had any problems since

Simply Factory reset your device and the Lockscreen should be working just fine
Might be a capacitative sensor issue.
Try entering the service menu (bring up the phone dialpad and enter *#*#7378423#*#* ), then select Service Test -> Touch Screen.
See if you can touch and draw to the top edge of the screen. If not, you might have a faulty capacitative sensor (it's eligible for warranty replacement).
Hi all
Thanks for the quick reply. Well i had done the factory reset suggested above and the problem still persist.
Try inputing the Z3c Secret code above. And i cant really assume its ok or not. Since i cant draw until the top part which is the location of the status bar, but on the other hand, well i cant draw untill the bottom part which the home n back area as well.
I had a similar problem with my z3c recently and I sent the phone for repair and it was covererd by warranty
Ummm somehow i fixed this issue by using a hairdryer on the top part of the screen,turn my z3c off and i blow it for like 10 too 15 mins or untill it feel heated abit, next put it on a air proof container with some hard salt inside well it suck moisture if ur guessing. Let it under the sun for like half day. Come back home n turn it on, and its normal again......... man i feel weird. Or maybe my screen got some water inside? I dunno
i have same problem
Anyone who cannot swipe down notifications or quick settings, due to a broken digitiser, can follow these instructions:
[emoji7]
Download 'All in one Gestures' app from the playstore.
Go to the 'SWIPE' tab.
Enable.
Under 'Edges' , select 'Top Area'.
Then via the apps settings, choose 'Personalization'.
Now under 'Swipe Area', go into 'Edge Preference.
Make 'Opacity' 0%
With 'Edge Sensitivity' start from 0% and keep moving the slide left until the swipe down works, mine is set at 90px.
'Edge Width' 100%
'Swipe Distance' 0%
Now under 'Touch Feedback' turn off both 'Toast Message' and 'Animation'.
Then turn down 'Vibration Intensity' to '0'
Done.
You now have the screen functioning as normal.

Z3C LOS OREO ARISE
I have the same problem, and looking in some Italian forum it's a common problem.
My touch screen started not work in up right edge. After some time in down left one (I can't use back and hone button on the nav bar) and in the end all the top first 4mm stopped working.
This is the touchscreen test in the three moments

Obviously this started a couple weeks after the warranty has expired.
Now I'm using 'j touch' app to have a floating button with gesture and it's pretty good.
I will try the that you handed suggested...
There is anything else that I can do to resolve the problem? But I think is only hardware failure

I've been getting this error every few days since I got the phone, but now I've gone a day without being able to plug it in (this is why I only buy phones with wireless charging). I tried rebooting, shutting it down for a while, etc.
And it's gotten nowhere near water.
Any solutions for this? Do I just need to take it to a t-mo store and ask?

I'd already be on my way back to the store. Besides, it's supposed to be water resistant- take it back let them figure it out

I got the same problem since 3 days ago, I think it is a software bug, as my G6 charges when it's off but gives me the same error when it's on! try to charge it while off. I am looking to find the actual problem, if anyone know why this happens??
Solved for me

I took my phone to spain and it had loads of sand on it by the beach. I couldn't charge due to the moisture warning for 3 days. Eventually i found a solution. I loaded a bathroom sink with about 2/3rds water. I swilled only the port area in the sink. I then dried the phone as well as possible. I screwed a thin tissue paper up and dabbed round the port. I then found a rectangle piece of card (it was a clothes price tag) it was probably 1 millimetre thick and i pushed it in deep into the usb port to aid cleaning using the corners of the tag. It solved the issue and didnt break anything and cleaned out some of the deep sand and cotton that wasnt drying at 30 celicus heat this week. Saved me claiming on my insurance and the headache of installing all my apps etc. Try it, but be very careful with the card tag as you dont want to break any terminals in the usb slot. I used this forum to try and find a fix and i couldn't, hence me putting my solution on here.

I got mine working via a similar method & haven't had the problem since. It's only given me the warning once since then, and a reboot fixed it.

Aaand my phone is doing it again. 24 hours and unable to charge except wirelessly or by plugging it in when it's turned off. Trouble is, I'm going out of town tomorrow and am counting on it for GPS.
edit: there's some relationship between the moisture alert and charging settings in developer options. Some people seem to be able to fix it totally that way, but I am seeing only partial success.
Same has happened to me. I am resetting right now to see if this works.
Any luck? They are replacing mine, but it's going to take a week or so.
This has been occurring on my device for a while as well. Usually the reboot while keeping the device plugged in would reset the software bug and charging would continue like normal. Now I can't get the phone past 4 or 5 percent charged. Every time I try to power off the device and charge that way, the phone automatically turns on after it gets to about 5 percent, and the cycle repeats with the charging blocked due to moisture in the usb port error. This is certainly very frustrating, not to mention I also had the weird camera glass cover anomaly where the glass shatters outside the lens, rendering my standard camera lens unusable with a foggy/smoky effect due to the glass on the outside cracked. I loved my LG G4, but I don't know about LG after this debacle of events. I too have tried changing charging settings in developer options with no success. I will be taking this back to T-Mobile tomorrow unless some miracle happens.

Nope it did not work. My next trick is to put it in a silica bag if that does not work I will take it back to T-mobile.
I keep seeing people come to this thread with hopes of a fix. I highly recommend you return your device if you have this issue. I have taken my G6 through the ringer at the water park (swimming, water slides, etc.) and have not once received this warning. It must be a defect.

Caught between a rock and a hard place there. I don't know if you're familiar with some G6's getting that crazy spider crack on the camera glass, but that freak occurrence happened on my device as well, so LG won't validate a return on the manufacturer's warranty due to that, and I really have no way of doing a factory reset since the phone won't charge anywhere past 5% while the phone is off before it turns on automatically at that point. $175 to get it replaced under T-Mobile insurance. Never thought a device so highly praised would be such a disappointment.

So T-mobile wanting you to pay the $175 fee? Did you tell them you put it in the water?
There was no contact with any significant amount of water at all since I got the phone, but thanks for adding your skepticism.
So I am no longer getting the moisture error I am getting the "Power Supply Tap To Change USB options message" and a different battery icon error which I think is making me have high phone idle.

I had this issue, and sent it in to LG. They told me there was a software glitch that once that alert was activated, the software wouldn't turn it off. You can prove this by restarting the phone, and plugging in the charger before it boots back up again. It will charge perfectly fine, but then if you unplug it and plug it back in, the error comes back. Send it in, they'll fix it.

For what it's worth, that wasn't the case for me. I tried every variation of plugging it in on/off/rebooting/tweaking every setting I could find or anyone suggested. The last time I had it happen, it took 3 days before it let me charge any way but wireless. Finally I went to the T-Mo store and they spent five minutes on it before ordering a new phone. That was a month ago. Knock on wood, I haven't yet seen the problem with the new phone.
ughhhhh.... tried everything. I absolutely hate having to reload everything on my phone!
Yup, last LG phone I'm buying. Software error or not I just came from a bootlooped LG G4 that I had to fight tooth and nail to get replaced and still wasn't free ($20.) I've never damaged a smartphone in the last 7 years of owning one. No cracked screens or water damage. Not only that, in an attempt to charge the phone while powered off it charges slowly AND forces my phone back on even though I select power off. Seriously people, stop buying LG.
Replace port charger this fix issue whith moisture charging blocked! i test this works fine
