I had it too sometimes. It's normal in my opinion.
But if you want you can try to get a replacement.
Backup data and factory reset is first step .

software bug. I used to get it in GB roms, but after a bit of testing it seems it's gone in XXKP8 (4.0.3). either way imo it's too minor to warrant a replacement.
@lonathe is the problem still there in your device? or has it been solved by updating to ICS???
@JJEgan i even flashed a new rom

I've searched the forum but I didn't see a similar issue.
My phone is new, I bought it a few days ago and it came with 2.2.1 froyo.
As a xda user, I started to search for roms and decided to try the CodeROM v2x-2b.
I flashed KPN and then the CodeROM. The flashing process ran without problems.
The system is running well except for 2 problems:
One of the problems is that when I'm using the phone, sometimes it's screen turns off. Sometimes it turns on after a moment, with a very high bright level. Other times it just remains off.
In both cases I must press the power button twice (as I was locking and unlocking the phone) and it comes back in lock screen (wich means the system doesn't freeze, it's just a screen issue).
Sometimes it happens quite often, sometimes it takes a while to happen.
I flashed Gls-mt-ROM today but the problem continues. For me, it indicates it's not a Rom problem.
The other problem I'm still gonna research a little more before posting here.
Does someone have a clue about what can this problem be?
Edit:
I reflashed CodeRom with the brazilian modem file from this thread.
Until now, seems to solved the screen problem. Seem to solved other 2 problems too (GPS and wifi).
I can't figure how screen and modem are connected.
Does this information make any sense?

Hey!
Dose you done the WIPE? Factory settings?
CHEERS!

Yes.
I think I did it before and after flashing the CodeROM (the tutorial was saying to do so) and before flashing the Gls-mt-Rom.
I don't think doing it again will solve the problem. Should I think that?
Heya
I've been searching around and havn't found any issues like this
But granted it's hard to describe and thus hard to search for
My Galaxy S2 is new (A few weeks) yet since new has had this issue. When powering the screen on (Lockscreen) the screen displays a white vertical line just left of the middle of the screen before powering on.
This line is NOT visible at all at any other time. Ran some screen tests without any evidence. Seems only to occur before unlocking
I have compared it side-by-side with my brothers Galaxy S2 so I know this isn't normal
Occasionally it will power-on normally but this is quite rare.
Had this issue from Stock, moved from rom to rom without change
Is this something to worry about? Could this be a sign of a failing screen, lose cable, crappy connection etc?
Is it worth sending it back under warranty?
The last thing I want it to do is to fail after the warranty expires
Cheers!

Sorry buddy, but It's really no prob.
It's an effect called CTR-animation (on or off)
This is an effect from an old TV turning on oder off.
So the display get crashed on a small line and goes off (CTR-off) or the display build up from white line (CTR-on)
If u using a Rom, just check ur apps for JKAY Deluxe... That's the app which manage such things.
There u can search for the two effects and turn on or off.
CHEERS ;-)
Sent from my Galaxy S2 - I9100 with SensatioN Rom!
Heh thanks for your input
But it doesn't look anything like the CRT animations, nor is it pretty and well animated (And its a vertical, non-centred line. not a horizontal one
Also this was still present on the stock Samsung Rom

Hmm if also on stock u maybe should think about using ur guarantee (flashing on original back first, for sure).
That's really strange.

Ahhh well, was hoping I wasn't going to have to go down the warranty line
So, directly to samsung or through Mobiles.co.uk?
In the UK the seller is responsible for the warranty .
But you can go direct to Samsung .
Root or custom rom will void warranty restore to stock and reset custom rom counter .

Guess I'm going to be without a phone for a while
This is my second Galaxy S2...first one had a defective screen (white spot on gray colors), now I'm having issues with this one...
While playing games (any game pretty much), randomly the game "reloads" (as if I went back to the home-screen and then returned to the game, which in some cases pauses the game after the reload but in others the games just close themselves).
I'll be honest, after all the good things I've heard about this device I'm really confused how did I end up with 2 phones with issues this big (both were brand new, though the first one was on the store's display-shelf) =/
What I've tried:
Resetting the factory settings
Updating to the latest ROM available for my area (2.3.5 Vodafone Spain)
Switching to a newer ROM (2.3.6 Open Germany)
Problem still exists.
Could this be a battery problem? (the battery I have is still from the first phone so I can assume it's defective aswell, but wouldn't that restart the phone itself rather than cause the issues I'm having?) That also crossed my mind when once a battery widget I use dropped 20% during a phone restart...
Any ideas? Something I should try?
I'm really desperate with this issue since "no gaming" on this phone pretty much makes it useless...
Thanks in advance for any replies.

You have to change the screen timeout delay and or any timeout delays example your screen pattern or password. This is not a battery problem. The battery dropping 20% you obviously changed the current battery in the phone to a different 1. If you have to do this just clear the battery stats in CWM.
EDIT: There is nothing wrong with your phone its working perfectly

You're so right - absoluetly pointless device without games. Anyone would think it's a phone if we weren't sure - thanks for the clarification.

Tried changing the screen timeout today from 30 seconds to 1 minute, the problem still remains (no passwords/patterns are in use), while playing Asphalt 6 it randomly re-loaded again.
Just to make sure you didn't get the wrong idea, the issue is not that the display turns off (phone lock), the issue is while it's in use.
Did I miss doing something in your instructions?
CWM = clockworkmod? Doesn't that require rooting the phone? (mine is unrooted, only used Samsung official ROMs on it)
Can you give me the steps needed to clear the battery stat? (unless it's displayed right on the menu, then I won't need "tutorials" o.o )
Thanks in advance.

People don't buy a 450€ phone just for calls or internet. Phones were good enough for calls/internet/videos/photos 4 years ago.
Hey guys, so I just updated my att galaxy s2 via kies to android ICS however after that I've ran into some problems.
After updating however I encountered a period where the screen went black and the phone kinda just died on me. After restarting I began to encounter some problems. For some reason, whenever the phone goes to sleep and and then wakes up, my screen gets flipped upside down and the screen gets really bright. Despite that, I still have to press the screen like usual. Which means that if the call button is at the top after flipping, I still have to press the bottom of my screen. Also the screen isn't perfectly flipped and there is space above the top bar.
However, the phone does work fine on bootup, and only fails after it sleeps. Also, very recently my phone just went through a screen repair after the screen cracked under the glass, but otherwise that I have no clue what's going on.
Is this just a poor repair and a hardware problem or is their another problem here?
Also I've tried a factory reset and that didn't help.
Thanks for any help you can give.
(Hopefully I got the right board)

considering this board is all about CUSTOMIZING devices... I dunno about that. Maybe try the AT&T site?

There are alot of things that could go wrong when flashing ROMs.
All of the custom ROMs here have built in safeguards which allow users to recover from issues involved with flashing. The same cannot be said about stock builds.
Unfortunately, your options are limited if you're going to stay stock. You can either try a factory reset and re-installing the update via KIES or you can call AT&T. That's pretty much it.
Personally, i'd Mobile Odin a rooted package with CWM and start flashing some of the wonderful work the developers have graciously allowed us to partake.

OP, I agree with the sentiment here, but you can't use mobile odin until your are already rooted. One option you could follow the guide linked in my signature to root the phone and go from there.
My personal suggest is that if you're running stock ROM, updating an official stock ROM and having problem, I call the provider for help.
My download and install went fine but I incounterd some unusual problems afterwards. My phone doesn't always keep a data signal while browsing the internet and a phone reboot makes it return. Setting browsers home to Google instead of default AT&T doesn't stick. I also had few dropped calls and very low signal bars in status bar at my house which gingerbread gave me full ones.

Hey there everyone,
I was glad getting my LG V10 since it was released, getting a professional camera options with 2 front cams and a secondary screen (i have never thought its gamish).. WOW !
To get to the main topic why I am posting here,
My V10 performed perfect ! Untill a sudden day game and everything was changed.
I cann't figure out what was the main reason causing all these issues to my V10 because many things happend in when it got issues and I can't make sure what was the main reason.
So,
1- after using my phone for more than half of an hour, i start noticing shadows on the screen of items that usually stays on screen like the clock on the top right corner, when i go to a screen that hides the clock, i can still see it but with low opacity, leave the phone a bit and here, shadows are gone !
2- HUGE over heating issue
3- HUGE battery drain issue
4- with phone is hot, and i open the camera or snapchat, i notice some white parazites (like the one shows when trying to take a photo for a tv screen) and blurry areas are like damaged pixals
5- when i close the phone, it white color or maybe an over brightness blinks for a half of a second, then it locks off normally
6- many other problems not so important the mention
The biggest suggestion I have is that the problems was here after i updated from android 5 to 6, or because of a possibly damaged charger i used.
Can any body tell me if software may cause such a problem ? If yes, is it possible to downgrade android version on V10 ? And do you know how to downgrade it ?
Sounds like part of the problem are LCD burns... From what I read they go away after awhile. May even be covered by warranty if not...
happens to my v10 h960a , the icons displayed for a long time then when you close the screen its still there like a shadow .an for the battery drain you need to disable or uninstall as much running appsm as possible . even when i disabled loads of them 50+ apps are still running with nothing left to do but root an customize the phone yourself or custom rom because you'd be waiting on lg for months to update .

Yeah sounds right.. But what about the shadows problems ? Any solution so far ?
The icon shadow i noticed lately but it is gone
The battery problem you can go to developer option and show cpu usage to see if there is a particular app that drain battery and you can install greenify and enable aggressive doze it will help the battery life
And for the snapchat camera i see the problem when i'm in a white neon light
But the normal camera doesn't have this problem
Why don't you backup your phone (LG even gives us an app to do it) and factory reset it, to see if your problems are still there at stock ?

i haven't tried any custom roms so idk if its a software issue . if it still happens on another rom then id believe its something you'd have to get used to..
