When I say "broken" I dont mean "cracked".
If you have dropped your device and then the screen doesnt work, common sense dictates that the screen is now faulty.
It could be that the digitizer cable has come loose or has snapped. It will need to be opened and looked at.
I dont really see what you expect anybody here to tell you other then to get it looked at. There is no magic words that can help you, sorry.

You dropped your device and then your screen doesn't come on anymore and for some reason you think it was a "software" problem?
Cmon dude, do you have any idea how silly that sounds? Ofcourse its a hardware problem, common sense dictates that if you drop your device and then it doesnt display anything that you have damaged something.
In the extreme unlikely event that it is a software problem you can check this by booting your device into recovery mode. If you get recovery on screen then try re-flashing kernel or rom.

Yeah 'cuz there wasn't any cracks ! I tried to reboot into recovry, didn't work, anyway thanks for your helping dude :good:

Open the SGS2 up and check that all the cables are connected.. Perhaps the screen connector got loose or something else, doesn't hurt check atleast
Check this tube for help

I opened the phone and checked the cables, they looked fine, now i think i'll buy a new phone like the gs3 Anyway thank you

probably the screen connector loose.

A problem has occurred with...

... GWES.exe Anyone know what this is all about please and if there is a cure / fix?
This seeme to come up pretty regular when the phone is in hibernation mode and you power it back up yourself. Very strange and pretty odd.

There's not a lot more i can say really mate. The message is as i have said really. White screen, message along the top and then some rubbish about sending to Microsoft, send or don't send. That's it!
I've had this before, from what I gathered on the net it is something to do with the drawing of the graphics on the screen. The advice I found was to simply turn off Windows Error Reporting so that you can ignore it. Its all I did and it worked for me
And if the graphics on the screen look alright to you, then there is no problem anyway!

That's one solution, yes. However, that it only 'masking' the issue. It'll still remain in the system won't it. All you're doing is like... well, ignoring the fact there is a fault which solves nothing!
Yes, but it's such a minor fault. And after a couple of days of not seeing that annoying message you'll find that you start sleeping well again.
The only other way to get rid of it is to remove recently added programs to see which one caused it, it will only be a minor incompatibility issue.

If it's done this from day one then is does sound like a corrupt ROM. You'll need to either ask for another TG01 under warranty or wait till xda release a ROM.

Results - Orange diagnostics test shows handset as FAULTY based on power test. Replacement arriving tomorrow.
Someone on Orange... do me and yourself a favour... ring 150, option 1, option 3 and tell them from time to time your phone is rebooting every now and then (even if it is not doing this) and could they run a test. I wanna know if they are ALL bugged in some way or another.
The good thing is, if you have any probs with your phone in the future, you can quote them that is was diagnosed as faulty so you have comeback so it's a win-win situation
If you decide to do this and they DO find a fault, great, no problem but if you've personalized your phone, be polite and tell them 'well, i think i'll stick with it another week but you have it on record now anyway eh' and they'll be fine with it.
Honesty eh... damn, what a concept!
Yep, check out my post about GPS problem. Orange said that was a fault and a replacement was sent next day, guess what, I still have the same fault on this one. Hope you have better luck!

Slow touch?

I got my Titan today and the first thing I noticed was that the touch was a bit slow, nothing to really care about but coming from the iPhone I expected the same "tracking" but it ain't there. Anyone else feeling this?

You on 8107? Did you start out with a Fresh Install? Any apps that might cause this?
Probably Digitizer issue... If you got warranty with AT&T/UK/whoever replace it

Yes 8107, I booted the phone and I had a few updates available so I updated it completely (I don't know what firmware it was from beginning, but definitely Mango at least). I'm not sure what you mean with Fresh install, please elaborate.

Fresh Install as In... A Factory Reset.... Like its better to start out with a clean slate then to start using a phone that was already being used and had some caches/apps loaded onto it...
Its best to ruled out any software issues before blaming Hardware (replacement)
And the digitizer is definitely not faulty.

Basically if its lagging it would be software related... There's a delay from when you do something to when WP7 responses to it... I would suggest backing Up and doing a Factory Reset and see if it makes a difference.
Did you load up the phone with stuff? Supposedly there's an issue with AT&T models that lag when low in memory even if you don't have that model it could be related

if it's an ATT model, I won't be surprised. Plenty of issues heard in the past with earlier batches too.
Make sure your thumb is not touching the sides as the screen comes so close to the sides that i was touching it and not knowing it, which made it appear to lag or not press numbers to unlock and such. The easy fix for it was to get a hard rubber case which raised my thumbs up so they wouldn't brush the screen edges when typing.

I press the screen straight on with my fingers. Anyway, I might just be overreacting here but it definately feels like the touch is a liiiiiittle after, delayed or whatever you wanna call it.

Looking at your video it seems perfectly normal to me, None of my WP7 devices have ever been any better than your Titan, (2xHD7 and a Titan) Maybe it's just a case of getting over your last phone and adapting to the way Windows Phone works, Took me ages after win Mo 6.5
Hi ArtieQ,
I have the same feeling as you : the scroll doesn't follow immediatly the finger, compared to my Omnia 7 or my iPhone. I hope HTC will fix this with an update, but I'm dreaming...

I'm glad I wasn't the only one, because yesterday I was about to send in my Titan for warranty repair but later changed my mind. I really hope this is software related, but I think not.
I was also glad when I saw your post because nobody except you has noticed it. But if you look at any video of the titan, you'll see the problem is always here...

I found this thread as well: http://forums.wpcentral.com/phone-wars/184480.htm
I have both an Omnia 7 and a Titan and one thing i noticed on the Titan is that if I don't hold the phone with one hand and use the other for touch the screen lags and failes to register the finger at times. On the Omnia 7 I don't have this problem. The Titan might be worse either way but it's a huge difference when not holding the phone on my Titan atleast
It's easy to reproduce in some games... I get missed swipes (fruit ninja) or birds that fly when I am still trying to get the perfect angle (angry birds).
I was hoping for a firmware to fix this but didn't know if anyone else have a problem so havent bothered reporting it to HTC. I guess if we don't the wont know it's a problem?

Its got nothing to do with the OS if someone is wondering that! this is an HTC thing, evry phone from HTC have this, its just thay are not as responsiv as a Samsung phone or an IPhone, just look at HTC phone with Android its the same slow respons. if im not worng, this is an Screen issue, i mean an HTC issue HTC use on there phones.

Xperia Sola Freeze!

Hi !
Need some help and some guidance from the members regarding a serious issue with my Xperia Sola
The main issue with my Xperia Sola is that the screen freezes 2 or 3 times a day on various situations like when i am browsing on the internet or just browsing thru menus and or even when i write a text message. A random freeze i can call it! The screen freezes and looks like when you're watching a 3D movie without glasses. it's a bit..i don't know the exact term to decribe it but looks exactly like i said. So, after that it becomes unresponsive and the only thing i can do is to restart the phone using up volume button + start button at the same time! Then, it's coming back to life and...i am waiting for the next **bleep** freeze again!
The phone is upgraded to the latest version of android 4.0 with the Latest available software: 6.1.1.B.1.54. I allready performed an repair thru the pc companion on my pc and also tried SUS but the problem is still there.
I don't know wether is a hardware issue or a software issue!
Any ideeas?
Thank you!
Might be hardware issue.
Does I happen on clean firmware with no apps installed other that come with stock?

Likely the GPU, makes no difference if it's GPU CPU ram or anything else that's on the mainboard they are not going to fix it just replace the mainboard.

Well I'm not an expert, but since it happens after flashing clean firmware as well it seems to be some kind of hardware issue even if it's a loos contact.
Won't be cheap question is how exensive.
See if it's worth you repairing or buy a new phone.

I have searched in forum but seem like noone have a solution for this issue.

I have followed this thread and enter "signboardtest", but seem like its not a solution for me.

You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...

As far as I know, ghost touch is almost always a digitizer hardware problem, but I stand to be corrected on that. Have you tried pulling the battery and leaving the phone off for a while (15+ minutes)?

I don't think you have that many options. Here are the things I would try, in order:
- Open the phone and disconnect the screen from the motherboard, then reconnect it
- Factory reset (back up the phone with LG Backup, or TWRP if you have a model that supports it)
- Replace the screen
I have a feeling that a factory reset isn't going to do much of anything, but it's worth trying before you spend money on a new screen.
Re: ghost touch
I had mine doing the same thing, I'm on a h820 however the screens weren't different amongst the variants as far as I know. Was able to get an oem replacement on Amazon for like 68$. The install wasn't all too difficult and did alleviate the ghost touch. Mine was bad bad before changing out the screen. Like it would press and hold the home button or the back button and make the phone unusable. No problems with the new screen so far.
Here's a link to the one I bought. It was two numbers off from the original one on the underside of the screen where the LG info is stamped.
Well it won't let me post the link.. Not enough posts. But it was from a US seller and said oem in the listing title.
