[Q] [HELP] LG G2 (Not Rooted) Screen Jitters after updating KitKat

benz23 · May 19, 2014

Hello,

It seems i have a problem with my G2 after updating Kitkat. First i want to clarify by updating Kitkat means that after i updated my Kitkat from official updates from LG Update Apps. I worried people misunderstood it for im upgrading from Jelly Bean to Kitkat. Not that, im already using Kitkat from maybe around Feb and have no problem at all. And 2 days ago [17 May 2014, in South East Asia] there is some update for the Kitkat, and I installed it, the description for the update is just "Optimization for Apps")

My problem is exactly the same with this Youtube video down here, this video describe "screen flickering" but actually its not flickering (because there is no problem with the brightness), but the screen randomly move vertically, like there is an earthquake inside of that phone

Oops because im a new member (yes, I jin this forum because of this problem of mine :'( ) it seems I cant post url from outside.

Please search the video on youtube titled "Lg g2 screen flicker" by Chris Eastoe

So, its happen yesterday for the first time, and i realize if its start to happen what i have to do is turn of the screen for a while (either turn of the phone or ether lock it) and then after i turn the screen on again the jitters stop... for a while... eventually the jitter will start to happen again and i just have to turn off the screen, wait, and turn it on again.

Do anybody have any Idea what happen to my phone? my LG G2 is not rooted, and i use stock launcher. i probably install LINE DECO for the icon customization (even though I already install it like 1 month ago and have no problem until recently), but i already uninstalled that this morning, and its still happening

Thank you

cheers :fingers-crossed:

Still no response yet? Up up

I live in SEA also but can't help you with your problem because my phone has had issues with the touchscreen starting a couple of months after I purchased it. I also received the update a couple of days ago and I was hoping that it would finally resolve my touchscreen issues but no such luck. Mine also jitters, freezes, and experiences ghost touches on a random basis although they all stop when I turn off the screen and turn it back on. Touchscreen issues are common with the G2, I don't know what to tell you. I've sent mine back twice but it still does the same thing.

It seems my problem is not as bad as yours... My touchscreen still works properly, and even the screen is jittering like crazy mt LG G2 still works smoothly. The Only problem is the display on screen.

I try to take a snapshot of my homescreen when my screen jittering like crazy and send it to my friend. But on my friend phone the homescreen snapshot i took is normal.

Root it with ioroot, recovery with autorec, and install furnace (jdi version if white lines) - or exchange it ?

Been on 4.4.2 for a few days, today my stock Bell (D803) started jittering and garbled up so bad it looked like the screen was damaged. It was a bit warm from being plugged in so i shut it down. Now it's cooled off and video jitters only slightly. I also tried re-calibrating motion sensor but seems to still have a slight jitter. (note: it's not the brightness flicker problem, the segments of the video on the screen literally shakes!)
Was thinking phone was damaged some how but now i see it's not the only one with the problem since last update.
Gee, good thing we own $700 smartphones!
I don't usually root my phones until the warranty is up on them so it's still Bell stock.

Titchener, I think im avoiding rooting my phone as much as I can, because if im not mistaken rooted phone void its warranty right?

Well, thanks for the heads up edgarpoe, Factory Wipe Reset also one of my option, but considering the effort it takes to recovery all the data, the backup, and etc. and find the problem is still there would have waste a lot of time...

I tried to install different launchers (Go Launcher, Nova Launcher) and none of them solve my problem... Heeeelelllpp!

LG G2 Screen Jitters after 4.4.2 update.

Nope not any better, infact it's worse. When it sits screen is ok when you wake it, but after about 5 min it starts jittering randomly. The longer screen is on the worse it gets until it shows sections of video that looks like old analog tv static. Turn screen off for a while and it's cleared up again for a few minutes.
Maybe something is overheating? Do you have a case on your phone? Mine has OtterBox case.

I even tried "playing" with thermal setting in 3845#*803# but did't solve anything :silly:

Don't know, maybe it's time to bring it in...

edgarpoe · May 23, 2014

Ok I think it got scared that I was sending back for warranty because now it's running fine.

I've factory wiped phone 3 times, still had problem. Was almost wondering if after the update, the battery stats were out, if low voltage would cause it. But then phone would have died out of nowhere so don't think that's it. Last night I also recalibrated motion sensor but still had jitters.
Must have been just a glitch in the update.
Bell tech told me 4.4.3 is on its way anyways.
It was acting up this morning at 10, then it sat sleeping unplugged for a few hours (screen off) now it seems problem disappeared.

Yep, i know the 4.4.3 its on the way, did the Bell Thec tell you when? it'll be frustating to wait around 3 weeks or a month with the phone condition like this...

BTW, Is your phone still OK? Ive been running mine this morning and got 2-3 hour up until now, jitter free... i will update if the jitters come back...

added :

Or maybe on of the apps is not compatible with the 4.4.2 Update. This morning this are my apps that have an update and maybe it solved the problem

- Chrome
- Air Asia
- Cleanmaster
- FanChants
- Flipboard
- Gmail
- Google+
- IGN
- Intsagram

Maybe some apps matchs with your apps?

edgarpoe · May 24, 2014

My phone been steady now for around 6hrs I think. Not sure why yet. Wasn't app related that I know of because one off the reset trials I opted to not install any apps at all and still had jitters.
I've been working the modes, touch screen, and playback pretty good tonight and no more glitches. Was last plugged in 7 hrs ago to 100% and it's now at about 50%
Just noticed power save was off so now it's active.
With system, lg bloatware, and downloaded apps they total 197apps.

As of now, my D803 is still running jitter free since yesterday afternoon with 4.4.2.
Seems problem might have fixed itself.
:highfive:

Anyone else?

update:
ARG! Seems i spoke too soon. Video jitter just came back.

Nope, im using unlocked phone, not bound to any provider.

I have some question, when you say you wipe your phone, is your phone OS go back to the 4.3 (Jelly Bean)? or maintain the latest KitKat?
