Hi,
I don't know what's going on with the screen of my one-v...
well I press lock button, so screen goes dark, but after a while it lights up for few seconds showing me lock screen... then it goes dark, and after few second it does it again.
after 2 times it stops, but it is annoying when you put phone on the desk, that it glows so you start to think about coming call or text.
what's going on?
lolsss..
haunted maybe

haha well hopefully not
I thought at beginning that it could be caused because of apz running in background but I have double checked - there are not any

have you tried factory resetting?
Are you using an app like Keep Screen?
My friend had a similar problem when she used the Keep Screen app.
Have you received an update?
Try using another locker like GO Locker or Magic Locker. Inform if it happens again.
strange thing, but it magically stopped happening
That may due to your brightness settings which is set to "Automatic" by default.
well it was too early for me to say that problem is gone... it happens again today ;/
I have fixed level of brightness, no apps except battery life working in background... all newest updates installed.
any ideas?
Has anyone else noticed that when in a dark area, pressing the main button will turn on the screen but it will then automatically and immidiately turn off?
Several times I've gotten into a battle with the phone only to lose, turning it on and it turns off, then turning it on again and so on...
To compound the issue, in these situations it seems that double tap is signifigantly less responsive to activate the screen as well.
I'm pretty sure this phone is using some sort of facial recognition, it has smart stay doesnt it? I think it has gravity/accelerometer to turn on the screen when you pull it out of your pocket. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that since it cant see me it is shutting off but this doesnt seem consistent...
I'm running stock rom, rooted with twrp. Any ideas?
I have not experienced that. Did your G3 do that out of the box?

Never heard of it. Screen is set to auto off in 30 seconds. Change it to 2 min and you should be good. If u running without a case then maybe the hand is touching the edges of screen this will also shut screen off in double tap.
BAD ASS G3

I didn't notice it until the last week or so. but I kind of feel like that was because I hadn't used the phone that much up until then. I didn't make any major changes to the phone immediately before I started noticing it either, I had already had it rooted for about a week. I feel like the stock rom does have some glitches to it.
The G3 does have a "smart screen" feature that detects your face (Settings > Display). Disable that and see if it helps.
I've not run into this in the dark but have when I try and use my arm band holder when running. The holder covers the ambient light sensor so the phone thinks it was accidentally turned on like in a pocket and shuts right off. Super annoying.
Noticed similar behavior when the phone is in my bike mount at night. Basically it's acting like the proximity sensor is covered. In my bike mount's case, it is covered by a clear screen cover, but normally that doesn't trigger the proximity sensor. But when it's very dark out (not under a street light etc.), it seems to think it's blocked and turns itself off. Annoying.

Tried but remains the same... This was the only thread I found concerning this.
Ive had this issue too investigating now
Had that issue when I was using the lock screen face unlock. In the dark it didn't see my face and then it shut off. Setting is in lock screen section

Lol.
I have the same issue EVERY night. Why is that? It's very annoying
Same issue here
it seemed to resolve itself when I factory reset my phone
but after I got my apps reinstalled from my google backup it started again
so it seems like it's a software issue - not sure to which app it is related to
let me know if you find a fix - this is quite annoying
Me too. I've been facing this issue at night, when it's very dark.
Me and my buddy were in the car during a roadtrip and it was very dark, I mean like: No lights outside, no lights inside the car, the double tap feature didn't even work to begin with and whenever I tried to use the "Power Button" It would come on and then suddenly 'boom' Turn off, now this would happen a few times until it stays on. Weird...
I just experienced this myself, first time I've seen it happen in the 30 + G5's that I've sold. If it's in the dark it just doesn't turn on at all. I hope LG is fixing this. I'm about to Factory Reset it right now and hope for the best! Someone else mentioned that this is the only forum that is disccusing this issue. It must be a very few that are effected. I'm testing another one as we speak.
Has this issue been resolved? My friend's G3 also has this issue. Day time no problem. When it is dark the screen wont' stay on.
Same problem, no fix yet
Same problem here - Pointing it at any light and pressing the power button will turn it on. (As will plugging it into power). Tried tinkering with all sorts of settings (face recognition/auto dimming feature/etc) nothing worked. Tried factory reset, that didn't work either.
My issue started after i had my screen replaced (by a shady shop) who probably didn't do a good job of packing it back together....I'm going to see if I can have someone open it up and clean it out a bit..
I have the same issue on my G3. Even if you're under the covers in bed, the thing doesn't turn on until it gets light. It basically doesn't turn on in the dark through double tap and actually not even with the power button. It could become a safety hazard for someone in an emergency situation.

I have also same problem. No solution yet.
Hello, so I am experiencing a huge pain in my butt with my LG G3, the issue is that whenever I press the power on button to turn the screen on my screensaver pops up and looks completely fine, after about 5 seconds a white shadow starts to appear in the background and slowly starts to make certain parts of my screen invisible, but as soon as a lock my phone and turn the screen on its gone but the process starts again. May be a possible led problem or something else? I would appreciate any help I can get before I go and take the phone back to Verizon and see what they say.
What screen saver are u using? Have you tried hard reseting the phone?

Just a normal picture from my gallery nothing extravagant or anything, it's strange there are like dark streaks going down my screen, I cannot capture it on a screenshot so I'd have to post a picture of it.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. I am able to use the phone in all his features, but the display presents stripes of shadow white. These shadows disappears when phone gets locked and appears when unlocking after few seconds. How did you solve? Will the guarantee cover this problem?
I have a Verizon VS98611a that i rooted through this

Recently, I've got an issue where the screen will randomly go dark, but not turn off. I have chekced this in a dark room and the screen remains on, but it no longers registers any touch inputs nor displays anything on the screen. The screen remains dark until I turn it off and turn it on again. I tried a screen recording app and checked the video afterwards. It seems that once the physical screen goes dark, the video shows that everything starts to run very slowly. From this, i'm guessing that the issue is either the CPU is having trouble or the GPU can't render the screen properly, although the recording seems to show that the screen is still there, but just not shown on the physical device. I checked the CPU usage though, and it doesn't seem to show issues as it is not running fully with about half of the memory free.
I have tried reflashing the stock rom with this

Could this be a problem with the CPU/GPU or would it be a physical problem with the hardware of the screen? If the issue is with the
I've had this issue now for it seems like forever. Screen will randomly go into these blinking fits and make the water drop sound on each blink. I've seen it happen when the screen was off and when the screen is turned on. I'm not rooted, just normal factory settings. Any help is appreciated as this usually happens when I really need to get access to something and then the phone goes nuts. It's also very tough to restart the phone when the screen is blinking on and off. It usually stops when I turn it off and on but again this shouldn't be happening.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Do you happen to have daydream(In Display and Wallpaper), settings turned on? I'm not sure if that's what's causing it but you never know.
No that setting is currently shut off and has been.

The only thing I can suggest at this point is to just use Odin to flash the stock image and hope it fixes it because if it doesn't, then it's most likely a hardware issue and not software related..
