Yellow screen of death. - AT&T LG Optimus G

In all of my years using Android I have never seen a full on kernel panic dump screen. I saw it this morning while installing swype beta on my phone running jbsnow's jellybean port.
Should I return my phone for a new one?

I've had the phone since it came out and only seen it twice. I wouldn't worry about it... yet. See if it happens a lot in the coming days or before your unable to return in-store.

Yeah, I think a lot of us rooted users on custom ROM's have at least # it once. I've never heard of it being fatal or that anyone couldn't get the phone out of it. I know it's a scary SOB when it pops up though!

Jank4AU,
PM'd you, sir.

Happened to me when the phone was new all the time, including before I'd rooted it. Gradually happened less and less. Now I can't remember the last time it happened. A few weeks? Over a month? In any case, don't worry about it too much. Mine was the black kernel crash screen though. I think I've only had the yellow screen once.

I'm pretty sure it happens on that rom because of a glitch in the WiFi part of the kernel. When I was running it I just set the WiFi band to 2.4 only (instead of 5) which fixed it for me.

Happened to me once, scared the crap outta me. Rebooted and never saw it again.
I still can't figure out why the idiot that wrote that error message couldn't tell his up button from his down button.

I wouldn't worry about it. It should not affect anything. I will try to see what it is and fix it in the next version though.

That happens because we are using the n4 aboot. Our hardware differs from the n4 where our up is the opposite key of their up, so it gives that bug.

if it means anything, i got that screen whilst using TheBase.73
and thanks for the explanation.

The demi-god yellow screen? I've gotten that months before using a JB rom.
I've seen it twice, and they happened when I was playing Ingress on my phone while either using WiFi or GPS. I was either rooted+stock or running The Base.

I can honestly say I've never seen this. I got a black screen kernel panic from UVing too far on The Base but that's about it.

Did you find a ROM or fix that works with Ingress on this phone?
I've had it freak out while trying to drop an item or select a xmp to fire.
I usually play on another phone, but I have to send it in for repairs so my Optimus G is my only phone for a week or so and I'd love full functionality in the game.

[Q] unresonsive screen [Solved]

I have this issue where my phone screen will randomly become unresponsive. To get it back all I have to do is shut the screen off and back on and the it will accept my input. The menu, home, back, and search buttons will still work just the screen wont respont to me touching it. It may happen several time in a few minutes. Then again i might go a day it only happen once. I dont recall this happening on unrooted 2.2.2 but Im not 100% sure. It does do it 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, and it has done it on Liberty, Eclipse, and Molten. If anyone else has run into this problem and has a way to fix it i sure would appreciate the help.
I have the same issue. Its a deffective screen. No matter what rom you are ob it will be there. And if your is like mine it was there on 2.2.2 unrooted.
Answer to it is getting a referb. But what i learned on referbs from moto (i went through 6 razr2 in one 1 hr never left the verizon store. One worse then the other) so if thats all your worring about then id say put up with it you could get one thats even more of a pos.
Its only annoying to me when it acts up while im typing a long txt or playing a game other then that its two presses and a swipe and all better (and mine happens at least 6 times a day everyday) consider yourself lucky you could have my pos dx2.

Ok. Its not to bad I mean Ive kinda gotten use to it. Its just annoying as hell cause it always happens at the worst time.
Mine does this too from time to time. Same fix.. Turn screen off and then back on and all is well again. Hasnt done it a long time though

If mine did that more then once I would be in with Verizon getting a replacement...not a refurb. No way would I deal with a unresponsive screen but mine is only a few weeks old. If you deal with them right you might get a new phone out of it. The in store employees have always treated me well.
Over the course of 6 months back when I had my Samsung Rogue they exchanged it for a new one 3 times until I got a new one. After about a month or so it would start to randomly reboot.

I could never get it to reboot in there so I would explain the issue and politely suggest that I should switch to a different carrier since I cant depend on my phone and it worked every time.
I might go up to the store and see what they will do. At the worst im still stuck with the phone till I upgrade.
This sounds like a defective screen. You should look into getting a replacement.

Shmooz them.with all the I love the network. Ut this screen just drives me nuts and blah blah. Then shmooz into you need a replacement cuz you've only had is x amount of days...then if they agree to it just bring up you know when I got this phone this other phone wasn't out and I would got that one. Instead of giving me a new one how about I just pay the difference with the upgrade cost like if I just upgraded now instead. I mean a sale is a sale and im just trying to have a good phone I don't trust this one not to brake again. Maybe throw in id hate to have to go to att or sprint for a good phone.

This phone is a replacement. My first x2 had an unfortunate accident at the river. This one wasn't stock for an hour before I was getting eclipse on it. So I was asking to be sure it couldn't be related to the things I had changed on my phone. If I had be certain of this yes I would have gone directly to Verizon.

One sure fire way to be certain is to sbf to stock. If the problem continues then you know its hardware related.

I have sbf multiple times since I've noticed it. It has done it every time, and every rom, even when i went and mixed and matched between a couple different roms. So from what I've heard it is deffinetly hardware related, which is why i asked. So to all of you who have helped me, a big thank you.
I've had this happen too. Not hardware related though. In my case it was caused by Launcher Pro. Switched to Go Launcher and haven't had a problem since. Might be something to look into if you use LP too.

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.
Edit: stuck power button maybe?

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...

Random Reboots.

I have been getting allot of random reboots, not while actually using the device but when it is just sitting there, on charger and off anyone have any experience with this?
Are these full reboots, with the LG and AT&T boot animations, or is it just the UI reloading? I havent ran into this at all on this phone. However, i have had an issue with the UI reloading with every Samsung device Ive ever had. Not sure what causes it or if your experiencing the same thing.
They are full reboots I normally catch it on the LG logo,I guess if no one else has come across it I'll go swap the phone out for another. Though my LG g2x had reboots till we had custom roms....

I went and exchanged my phone today for another, so we will see if that helps it. I am not sure though because I had a LG G2X and it had random reboots as well, it was only fixed with custom roms and kernels later so assuming we get unlocked bootloaders I am sure that will be fixed but till then I am not sure if I am going to keep this phone or not....

Your talking about "redraws" it has to do with the launcher (TouchWiz) or in some cases, RAM.

Where as I do not use the stock launcher, I use NOVA and well we have 2 gigs of ram... Plus mine have certainly been full reboots and the G2x did this same thing... we need to just hope for am unlockedbootloader.

I haven't seen any on my device. 11 days. Stock launcher.

I've had reboots as well. Around 4 times now and purchased the phone nov. 3. a couple times it was when the phone is just sitting there on stand by. one time it was while posting a picture on instagram. Another was taking a picture and looking at the photos... and when it does re start, it will restart 2 or 3 times at a time, like i see the lg logo 3 times, then finally the "rethink possible" logo, then the phone boots up and while or just after my media scanning of my sdcard finishes, it will automatically restart again... and this happens 2 or 3 times. for some reason I feel like it has something to do with me 64gb sd card but am not sure, i used to think it had something to do with eco mode but phone has restarted while it wasnt activated too... dunno how to fix, hopefully an update will come for a fix :/

I'm going to have to send mine in for warranty too, put a reboot logger on it and it's around 4-5 times per day. I should probably unroot it before I send it in I guess.

[Q] Anyone else still getting SOD?

So we all know about the sleep of death issues with this phone initially. It caused me to replace my phone. However, I am STILL getting stuck in deep sleep every day. I got it on SnowJB and now I'm getting it on SlickJB. The only time I didn't get it was with the 11c update. I've gotten it with every ROM since then though. Am I alone on this?
Nope. I'm in the same boat. I've been trying different things to remedy the situation. Today I'm trying underclocking. Ill know if it worked when I go to school.
Only happens when data is on and being used but wifi is on but not connected.
If I am connected to wifi, I never get them.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
Maybe there's still a "bad batch." I only get bsods maybe once or twice a month if that. To get so many is really bizarre.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I hardly ever have wifi on, and when I have it on it's connected. I get locked out when just data is on. Maybe I'll see about unrooting and getting another replacement.
Is it possible the BSOD issues are being caused by CPU grade?
Mine is a 3/FAST, and I got SoD's on SnowJB and Nocturnal LE, but only like one or two on SlickJB, and NONE on the JB OTA or new CM10.1.
I posted a last_kmge.txt file that Mystery said had some good info in it and said that it was definitely the kernel. See the convo below:

I was finally able to get the last_kmsg.txt file after my latest BSOD. This one actually has some info in it. I really hope it holds some answers.

Edit: more info, I caught the BSOD at around 10:35 and pulled the log right away. I noticed the last event is at 10:27am. So my phone BSODed 7 minutes after I left my house and was on the freeway.

Bad area on touch screen

I noticed a section across my screen, approx 1/2 in tall, that I is not registering touches. I used ScreenTouchTest from the Play Store to test touches.I got it to go away for a little bit by pulling the battery a couple times but now it is persistent.I tried resetting my phone to factory settings and no luck. I am on stock ICS. Of course I don't have warranty, I was just curious if anyone else had this happen.

I'm 99.999999% sure it's a hardware problem. I had the same problem, and had to replace my phone. Unless you're willing to replace the touchscreen, I think it's unfixable.

Ya that is what I was afraid of. It was just weird that it will work after a few reboots. Oh well, eligible for an upgrade tomorrow, probably grab the HTC One.
