LG Urbane 2nd Edition second hand frozen problem - LG Watch Urbane 2

When I downloading and using a custom watchface, the app "WatchMaker" will show the second hand moving on "ambient" mode but when active on my device, it is frozen. It will move to the 12 O'Clock position when it turns over to the next minute. Let me know if this is normal. I've been resulting to eliminating the second hand when my device goes to "ambient" just so it doesn't look to tacky. I'm concerned that I shouldn't have to result to a walkaround. Thanks in advance for any input.

[Q] Black Screen on Wakeup?

I just started having this "bug" yesterday. Basically, what happens (randomly) is that when I press the power button, remove the stylus, or slide the phone open to wake it up I'll be met with a black/blank screen. The backlighting will be on, and the phone is responsive (can receive messages, make calls, sounds/notifications work), but I won't be able to use the screen. If I use the power button to turn the screen back off and wait a few seconds, the screen might start working again. This is completely random and I cannot duplicate it with any guaranteed process, but it seems to be when the phone is waking up from standby. After a soft reset, probably half of the time I'll be met with this same delima, which leads me to believe it's hardware and not completely software.
At the same time the phone is also struggling to re-paint the screen from the change of Landscape-to-Portrait and visa versa. Also opening and closing windows to get back to the today screen also cause a problem. I've disabled TF3D to see if that makes a difference, it doesn't. I have a blank today screen with no plugins to free up the system resources, and am still having this issue.
I'm using JD's Rom (probably around 1.3, it's been running fine with no issues up to this point).
I'm also using S2U2 1.35 (if that makes any difference, haven't had any problems until recently)
The phone has never been dropped, it's in InvisibleShield, and normally sits on my desk charging all day.
This started happening last night for no apparent reason and it's really starting to irratate me.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Re the black screen:
Sounds like its software related. For example, I sometimes have this if I leave PocketTwit in the foreground and turn off phone. What software did you install yesterday? Also, do you try to press the home key and see if that clears the screen?
After more testing..
After some more fiddling around with the phone I'm about 90% certain it's a hardware issue. I noticed that when I slide the keyboard out if the slide portion is past the number line then the screen will stay on, but not update. I don't know how well I can explain it. If I'm typing and hold the screen to keep it from opening all the way then I can see the letters/words appear (in txt msg/email), but if I let the screen goes and it slides all the way open then the screen will stay on and only show what has already happened, any more typed characters will not appear, but if I move the screen back to the number row then the screen will re-draw and update what has happened.
Is this something that Sprint should fix no questions asked?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last piece of software I installed was Gyrator 2 on Friday-ish. Thinking that it was the problem, I removed it using MemMaid. I'm going to give the phone a flash tonight and see if it is software related (hoping for the easy fix) but as the post above says, I'm almost certain it's a hardware issue. I just wish I knew how it happened. . . So much for that time putting those InvShld on.
Final Update (this can be closed)
I took it into a Sprint store and they replaced the "flip" on the top for free (I have insurance).
Point of the story/thread, this can be closed, it was a hardware issue, and now it's fixed.

Screen problem (video included)

Hi guys, hope someone can tell what is exactly with my phone/display.
Long story short – phone fell directly on display, absolutely perfect landing without any rebound, display went nut. Dropped it on back, fixed the problem.
4 days later, display went crazy again and remains broken.
Symptoms: black, grey, coloured lines.
What I can say from usage – they react more on dark colours. If I’m in white background, everything is absolutely fine, sometimes some line appear. As soon as it comes to grey or black, they go wild. They like move for second or two, and then settle, as you can see in the video.

LONG STORY LONG
Seven days ago, it dropped from 1 meter height, and it landed on it’s display, so directly it didn’t bounce not a tiny bit, it just got like glued to the surface. The same moment I knew it’s not good, and I was right.
Display couldn’t get out of sleep mode, when I presed power button I only got a bit of visibility, I could see start button, but if turned it on/off (sleep/wake up) couple of times, display would have normal brightnes… BUT, there were some dark dynamic lines over the screen, as soon as pic moved, they would appear, on static pic, only few would remain. Numerous resets didn’t bring any results, keeping it off without battery, no results either…
Frustrated (It has been like month or two since I’ve got this device), I decided to give a try to traditional Serbian method – hit the electronic device to get it working. I included some brains, so I dropped phone, on the other side (on the back), from some 30 cm height. It worked like a charm! Everything worked absolutely fine!
I could only think of situation that some display contacts must have pulled out a bit, so hitting it back, made them get back into their slots.
And everything was like before… at least for 4 days 
Then, without any trigger event, lines came back, and they’re here to stay!
Hard reset, nope. Reset, nope. Dropping it on the back, nope.

There is no one here to make good diagnostics, HTC is like white raven in my country, so can anyone suggest what to do, get new flex cable, get new display?
I am considering opttion to open it up myself, and check are all connectors firmly in place.
Your suggestions?
If anyone experiences anything similar - just reset the flex (flat) cable, everything will be like new

[Q] screen wierds out

I've had an odd problem with my 820 almost since getting. I'm hoping one of you geniuses have some advice.
When I turn it on it works perfectly, sometimes for hours. Then the screen goes blank, and then random pixels begin to appear, starting at the top of the screen. Outdoors rather than random pixels the screen goes almost totally green. Strangely, if part of the screen is obscured the green only covers rhe exposed area.
Pressing the on button repeatedly usually brings back the lock screen and reset (on+down) fixes the problem for another few hours.
By the way, eventhough I can't see the screen the touch sensor works. For instance I can hold theon button and then swipe downwards to turn off the phone. I can also answer and hang up using earphones.
My daughter who purchased the phone said it worked fine until the amber update. I had hoped the black update would fix the problem but no change. I found some posts from people with the same problem who sent the phone in to be fixed and got it back in the same condition. I really don't want to go through the hassle unless I expect to get it back fixed. I'd rather try fixing it myself.
My question is whether this is a firmware problem an whether it is likely that re-installing the stock black rom would do any more than the ota install that occurred automatically did (or didn't do).
Any ideas?
Nobody?
By the way it seems to happen only, or mostly when in standby.
I installed an app that displays a clock and doesn't allow the phone to go into standby mode,
and the problem doesn't appear to occur (unless I forget to leave the app on top).
I would set the phone to standby = "never" but the option isn't available on my phone, though
I understand that there are those with the standby = "never" option.
Any idea if I can set standby = "never" with keyboard commands, perhaps?

Weird Korean writing on screen

Sitting in a theater, trying to keep the screen from coming on, when suddenly I got 2 lines of Koren on the screen and a button on the bottom in blue labeled OK. Took the place of my watch face. Had to turn it off and on to get rid of it. Did NOT hit OK. Anyone seen that before?
It is used by MRTIMEMAKER appwhich has a non-loclized part in it.
It just states to accept the recently chosen watchface. Pressing OK just loads it to the screen

[SOLVED] Half of the screen flickers black between unlock and home screen

Couldn't find any similar topic except in forums for s10+, OnePlus and other phones. Sorry if I missed anything.
As in the subject, after unlocking, approximately half of the screen flickers black and goes to the home screen. It takes less than a second. Always top half, bottom half shows home screen right after unlock. This does not happen on each unlock, but also, there is no pattern - it can be after 5 or 30 unlocks, it can be after 5 minutes or 10 hours of not using the phone. It started mid-July and not only annoys but is starting to worry me. Solutions from other threads didn't help. For example:
Fingerprint sensor problem - I don't use it, I have pin lock.
Samsung Pay issue - I don't even have it available, so, don't use it either .
Animations - setting them off did not help.
I cannot guess anymore what would be the cause, if it's some app which wakes up after unlock or what else. The only thing I've changed (except updating apps) was adding another sim card, but my tiny little brain cannot find connection. I didn't test removing it as I need this sim active and don't have backup phone right now. Also, I would really like to avoid resetting the phone...
Did you experienced anything similar?
Thanks a lot for any help or suggestion.
are using Samsung or some third party launcher. Did you wipe cache? Latest firmware updates?
Yes, I did both, firmware update and cache wiping, no change. I'm using stock launcher.
did you try in safe mode to exclude some app causing it
Yes, I tried safe mode without success.
i would take it to Samsung repair centre if pos
Thanks for trying and all the steps. There's nothing like that where I live, neither any advisory place except for hotline. I can drop it at their service but will need to wipe it down before, which I keep as the last resort. I'll keep waiting for another firmware update and if nothing changes then I'm willing to do the hard reset. I just hope it's not a symptom of some virus - I'm trying to be most careful, scanning device periodically, didn't root, so I naively count on being safe...
i don't think it's virus. fingers crossed it's just software issue
hi again, just to let you know, I think I know what was causing this flickering and now I feel silly . Home screen rotation. I had this option turned on, and it's possible that sometimes, when I put my phone on the table, home screen rotates to horizontal position. Of course it locks after few seconds. I've noticed it completely accidentally, because one time, when screen flickered black there was slow-motion rotation animation in the background (which I've never seen before). That's why flickering was completely random to me, not connected to any type of notification whatsoever. Well, it's not, it has a pattern . I've checked it plenty of times and each time I lock my phone with home screen in horizontal view, but unlock in vertical, half of the screen is flickering black. That's it, at least I believe it must be this, because it happens each time and never when I lock my screen in vertical position.
Once again thanks for all the help!
