Hello!
I recently changed a cracked display on my l7777.
When I turn on the phone everything works just fine, including all tests using *#0*#.
But if I lock the screen or it locks itself after some time, the screen is upside down, really bright, and the touch inputs are reversed, for example to pull down the top bar, you have to drag from the bottom. Also sometimes crashes the *#0*# test or it shows failed.
Im not sure what is causing this, I tried apps that force the screen to certain rotation, but they barely work and the touch inputs are still reversed.
Sadly I only have access to limited technical support (I live in Bolivia) but I was wondering if there is any way to fix this, if the phone works perfectly on start up, maybe someone knows how to remain like this, what happens when the screen is locked?
Thank tou very much in advance for any help

Sounds like the digitizer was inverted somehow when the screen was replaced.

I would say, go back to the tech that replace it for you and tell them to fix it at no charge. But if you were the one that did it, I would suggest to go to someone that know how to do it.

Thank you, is there any way I can check if this is what has happened?
I cant take it back, Im afraid they could make more damage, and there is no good tech service near me, I have searched a lot.
Is there any way I can do this myself?
I was hoping that since everythings works ok until the screen locks, there may be a software fix for me.
You can do the repair yourself. I'm sure you can find a YouTube video to walk you through it. It might be worth it to tear it down and then rebuild it so you can make sure all the connections are secure and nothing is binding. There is not a lot of space inside, and it's easy to bind the ribbon cable.
Good luck!
Hi, same thing happen to me. Could you fix it?

I'm just wondering if this is something that is supposed to happen. I remember installing an app when I first got the phone that was supposed to do just that, but I deleted it, and have also completely reset my phone since.
I don't recall it doing so initially, but that was also during week one and I have about the memory of the goldfish. If anyone could shed some light on this for me I would greatly appreciate it. It kinda makes pocket dialing a slight problem (I use my phone FAR too actively to set a pattern lock). Thanks.
Oops, meant for this to go in general. Side effect of posting right before bed.
Mods, please move this.
Mine does the exact same thing, did it right out of the box. It dosent do it for email just text messages. I have no clue if its a setting or not tho.
Yeah I think it's supposed to since there are no LED indicators =/
yah that's the default setting. i think you can change it but i'm not sure how. the one thing that bothers me is that texts make the screen turn on but messages from google talk don't.
Okay.
It's just frustrating.
I love the puzzle pieces, but I wish the actual lock screen would be better if there was more specific swipe requirements.
Maybe we can find someone who knows more about the system and figure out what's causing the light up and get it changed/removed.
It just doesn't get along very well with things like NoLED, it takes up to a minute for the app to initialize. and seems the delay is solely caused by the screen light up.
This is how it is supposed to work, guys.

Hey, I was just playing with my phone this morning and noticed a strange problem... The top part of my screen, just under the notification bar, does not respond when touched, if an app is running. For example, I cannot hit the location/search/layers button in gmaps, or the search button in market (this is only in portrait mode btw), but on the main screen, it responds just fine. This problem did not exist yesterday either, and I have already tried rebooting, and that did not fix it...
Might want to provide a bit more info if you want help.
I.e. What rom are you using, what kernel, any speedtweaks, etc.
Oops, sorry, it just seemed to fix itself randomly, but I am running CM7 1.2/MR2 radio, no other tweaks, just in case anyone else has the same issue in the future...

Im hoping it was just a fluke for you, but keep an eye on the issue, if it happens more it would sound like you could have a bad digitizer (its what controls the touch screen)
So it happened again today, not sure what set it off, but this time it wasn't just the top part of the screen. Phantom presses would happen, the notification bar would go halfway down and then pop right back up, the 4 buttons on the bottom wouldn't respond... I did a battery pull, and it seems to have fixed it for now, should I be contacting verizon to replace this one? It is a replacement of my original one (which bricked)...
Hello
I own a Xperia Tablet Z, let me get straight to the point...The device works perfect under water and the video recording, but every now and again the water pressure interacts with the screen and stops the video recording, this can be easily fixed if the camera app had a lock option, like a gesture or a hardware button that can be assigned to lock the screen when needed, i will be fine if there is a app for it, since I don't always need to lock the screen, when I do i can use the app. I then came across a app called Argus Touch Blocker, which works just like I want it to, the only problem is, yes it blocks the whole touch screen, but not the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen which is part of the touch screen, but for some reason is it still touchable. Can anyone point me in the correct way to get these results?

Hi guys.I have a problem with my LG G2 D802.When I answer a call or make a call,the screen goes blank and the touch doesn't work anymore.I can't do anything else on the phone.The conversation is normal and anything else seems to be ok.Please help! Thank you.
If I answer a call,the screen goes blank,I can speak normally:After the call even the other person finishes the conversation,I still can't do anything on the phone,because the screen stays blank.If I have another call this will awake the screen and it will work normally,I mean,I can take the call,answer and speak on the phone but with the screen blank again. and so on.To have the phone back to normal,I have to reboot it by switching the phone off and on again. Very strange.This happened after I unlocked the phone ,probably because I left the SIM card in ?!!! Any possible advice/solution? I tried soft and hard/factory reset with no results.

I actually had this same issue. my g2 is rooted, but running the stock rom. it has a screen protector but nothing else that would impede the sensors.
I found that this issue never took place in well lit areas. but if at night sitting i a poorly lit room I would go to swipe the scree it would unlock for a second or two and then lock back up. in talking with a friend. I found that the g2 has in set so in the proximity of a pocket or something dark the screen dims back so as to not allow you to mistakenly hit ay button ( i.e. butt dial) i figured my proximity sensor near the ear piece was dirty and causing much less light then there actually was. at the time there wast a firmware update ( which I have now gotten) and was desperately seeking help.
I finally got the firmware update VS98012B and it seems to have solved the issue I ( and you) was having. I would see what version you are running now and then update to the aforementioned and see if that solves your problem.
PM me and let me know what road you decide to travel and if for some reason it doesn't help you we shall figure it out.
Blank Screen
I am having sort of the same issue. But mine is wether in a well lit room or dark room it doesn't matter.
I noticed that it usually happens when i receive a call, after the conversation when i hang up it does not go back to the home screen. all i get is a blank screen. the only way i can get it to generate the home screen again is by pulling down the status bar and going into the general settings and clicking home button again.
during this blank screen i can still see the status bar, and when i bring down the status bar i can see the nav buttons but they are unresponsive.
I also noticed this takes place sometimes after closing an app (noticed on netflix)
I am rooted on stock rom and TWRP recovery. Phone Model [LS-980 Sprint]
I immediately rooted so dont know if issue was there before root.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

I decided to open the phone and check the proximity sensor.I unplugged the proximity sensor ribbon and guess what:IT WORKS.without the functions of the proximity sensor and LED.But at least,I have the keypad and the screen on during a conversation.I have even the knock-knock function.Probably,I will use it like that until a kit-kat update will be available.Thanks for your answer.
VS980 Black Screen
I have a customer phone that I replaced the LCD and Digitizer on. The new screen works fine but...now when a SIM Card is in the phone and I dial out a thin horizontal line appears in the middle of the screen and then the screen goes black.
If I remove the SIM card and place a call, the phone gives me the standard "Emergency Calls Only" and goes back to the dial pad.
The SIM Card is not activated but it is recognized by the phone.
Has anyone else had this issue? I tried a factory restore with no luck.

Hi,
I have the same issue , my screen turns black when calling or receiving calls , i m not really good with my hands... so do you know other solutions to disable the proximity sensor ?
thanks
Same issue here - LG G2 screen turn off and goes blank during conversations
I have exactly the same issue - LG G2 D802 screen turn off and goes blank during conversations.
Thanks to @Bam9 and @EtherBoo , who suggested to clear the proximity sensor from the outside and squeeze the top left corner of the phone, I tried to clean it and put some stress on it - and it worked!
Another issue which I also have and is also caused by the proximity sensor is that the screen stays on and the touch buttons in the dialer aren't responsive - which means we can't switch to speaker, add a call, mute, etc... However, the main touch / navigation button (home, back and menu buttons in the bottom of the screen) are responsive, in addition to the status bar.
(This issue was already reported by @athorax here)
In both of these situations the only quick way to end a call is to pull down the status and notifications bar and hang up from there.
I have a glass screen protector (which don't block the proximity sensor), and I am rooted and using CyanogenMod 11 ROM.
I used ioroot to root and AutoRec, which comes with TWRP 2.7.0.0, to install CyanogenMod ROM.
However, going back to stock ROM (in my case, LG G2 D802, it's D80220C) won't help since the issue still exists.
What I'm sure is that it was pretty much okay in the beginning, and the situation became worse and worse - occurring randomly, until it arrived to a situation in which I can't use the phone properly during conversation.
Now that I discovered that I can put some stress on the proximity sensor it seems that I have a hardware rather than a software issue.

So for you it was a software issue?
Is your sensor working until today with no issues?

I'm also rooted and with TWRP.
Did it happened before you rooted?
Did you used ioroot to root andAutoRec to have TWRP?
You see, I'm really trying to find the similarities between us all in order to solve this issue...

We already have KitKat based firmware update. For me it's D80220C.
For you it might be already D80220D. Use this link to check your version, and replace the IMEI in the end of it with your IMEI.

When you place the call you do hear that the call is made?
If so - then you have exactly the same issue.
What is your model, what ROM are you using, and did you root your phone?
I have LG G2, unable to make call. The signal strength is fine. I have tried reinserting the sim. but i am able to receive calls. when i make a call the dialup screen come up and call ended automatically. Any Help
Hello,
Unfortunatel my device seems to have some kind of malfunction.
The Issue is that the devices suddenly locks andd just shows the clock.
I can`t unlock it. After a while it might show the normal screen and I can unlock it.

Any help is appreciated
Check for smart cover option in smart assistance
Turn it off. The pic you posted comes when you use flip cover (when closed )
Have u applied any sceen protector covering upper right (nr front cam) side of screen it may cause this
There a proximity sensor and one other idnt know name but it should be uncovered when using phone.
Or the sensor is misbehaving.
