Hey Guys!
I was wiping my phone with lysol wet wipes to clean it today and let it dry for a bit. When I picked it up it worked fine but the power button wasn't very responsive (Didn't register few times). Later on today I picked my phone up and it wouldn't turn on . At first I thought it was the power button but that works fine. I can hear my phones click and can even take a screenshot, but the screen doesn't show anything it is just black. Any help?
You mat have fried it by getting it wet I'm afraid.
I'd get it off and get it in a bag of rice for a day or 2.

Hey, man I'm having the exact same problem. I thinks it's a problem that some Nexus have because I found this video on youtube and its very similar to mine: youtube. com/watch?v=V6PtbuImXUs
No my screen it does turns on and not just stays all black, but it stays like with a lof of little dots like when there's no signal on a tv. It has been like this for over a month. I'm talking with the guys of LG for a warranty :/ Best of luck, bro! If you find any other solution, I'd be glad to know.
i left it in rice yesterday, and will take it out in a day. Will report back!
So i took it out of the rice, and put the phone back together. Nexus 5 got really hot when i tried to power it on so i just took out the battery plug to avoid any more damage. Any advice on what to do next?

Visit the nearest LG service centre and let them have a look at your device and then proceed accordingly.

I don't think LG would help much in this situation... They'll make me pay more than the phone costs.

The display is fried.. Possibly, the battery is affected as well by looking at your previous comment.
All you can do is, replace the damaged parts which might cost you a bomb. However, instead of doing it yourself, let LG take a look at your device first and get a quote from them! There's no harm in getting one. You will just need to pay the labour charges incurred for opening up your device and examining it.

quick update: I was able to flash a rom using wug fresh and it boots normally. I can take screenshots, open the camera and take pictures, speaker works fine. I'm guessing this is only a display problem now? any ideas on anything I need to do in order to test other hardware areas to check damage?
I have a nexus 5 rooted with stock rom and kernel and stock recovery+ xposed+GravityBox and some other xposed modules.
this happened sunday and again today.
I unlocked the screen and then the screen looked like that:
even on reboot the screen still was with the pixel snow
and after a few minutes of locking and unlocking repeatedly the screen turned OK again.
couldn't find a lot of information online.
does anyone knows why has this happened?
has someone experienced this kind of failure?
any advice?
thanks.
It's a hardware failure. Most probably the screen or the Flex cable went bad. It can only be solved by replacing it.
Definitely a hardware fault.... Had exactly the same screen on my n86 when the repair guyz told me that flex cable was damaged...
thanks..
the problem is I bought the phone on ebay and had it sent to my uncle who was in the states for a business trip and then he brought it to me when he finished his trip.
I'm not from the US so I don't know who should I complain to :\
sending it back to the US and **** will take a lot of time and probably money

Totally depends on the device's IMEI. If the IMEI if not of the country you're residing in, warranty goes out of the window. In any case, you need to send it in to get it fixed whether it's under warranty or not.
Good Luck :good:

Changing the flex cable won't cost alot...
If the screen is damaged (i hope its not) it will hurt...
So best is to get it done from local lg service center ..as u have no warranty by any means
Wrong post quoted
For about a month now my Honor 8 will only charge when powered off. The rest of the time it doesn't recognize when a USB is connected. (I've tired three different cords)
I just discovered in the setting, it is permanently set to reverse charging and won't let me select any other option other than reverse charging.
Factory reset has changed nothing
Easiest option is to contact huawei support and get a replacement. Unless you try flashing stock rom again
I also would get the charger replaced alone with the phone.. May be the charger at fault and the phones gone into some. Kind of protection mode...
Same problem

Hey, did the issue get resolved for you? I am also facing the same problem.
Having the same issue with my honor 8. Anyone found a fix for this reverse charging issue?
Sent from my LG-H990 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes. I use the stock charger only. Mine will return to normal when i reboot the phone or if i plug in the charger. But the reverse charging status will again activate after couple of hours.

Anyone ever find a solution to this nightmare? It hit my Honor 8 about a week ago and I'm so mad at Honor. I had to go out and purchase a new phone because it was hit and miss whether it was going to take a charge or not. I assume I'll have to send mine in under warranty but was really hoping someone found a way to fix this software issue so I could just return my Moto Z Play. I'm happy of course that mine is still under warranty but seriously, who can send their phone in and then go without for who knows how long honor will keep it. They left me no choice so it seems this is quite common. That being said, honor should automatically send out a new replacement device and only then should we send our defected software phone in to them. Anyone please let me know if you have found a fix for this before I jump through hoops to send my device off for warranty. Thanks.
This is now a common old thing

Hii
I think you should not wait and loose evan more of your warranty period
Becouse it is now several months old thread and nobody found and solution
Let us know what thay told you and if you got an replacement for the phone at all
That way you could also help someone with some issues too
:highfive:
I do plan to return mine to Huawei Honor and I believe they are located in Texas. I'm located in Mississippi so I'm not that far from them. I have no clue as to how long they will keep it but I will indeed report back to this thread with what ever they end up doing for me on my device. They want a picture of my receipt too along with several pics of the phone. I have no problem giving the pics of the phone but I don't know where even to begin looking for my receipt. They should be able to use the IEMI number and track the when the day it went in use and there is their receipt proof of the day I purchased it. Hopefully this company will take care of me but I'm already out $400 dollars. There isn't really anything they can do now to replace my money and totally win my 100 percent loyalty back. Before this every piece of mobile tech I owned was Huawei. Not anymore bc I use Moto Z Play now because they would not send me out a replacement after I told them I cannot go without a phone.
Hii @Dconn1975
Just one thing..take some pictures and also some of the screenshots for yourself too
Couse I just few days ago had been reading that one Honor 8 owner send it to the service..
And they had told him that thay took apart the phone and found out that it had been in some kind of water
couse after opening the phone there was a green spot coused by water on the motherboard
And they did not change the phone for him
The owner knew it can not be that way so he got the phone back and than let his friend
disassemble the phone.. they did not found anything on the motherboard what they did tell him
So long story short they also lied to him and did not give him any replace
He is now here on xda asking what to do now..
So be carefull .. take some pictures of the phone.. evan some screenshots..
Just in case they come up with something and saying you void your warranty and
they wont replace your phone...
Good luck
Still no DIY fix for this issue? Sigh. Honor 8 will be my first and last Huawei phone. Won't buy this huawei **** anymore
Sent from my LG-H990 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yeah as much I have praised honor Huawei I now am done. I have to send mine back as they won't send me a replacement and who in this entire world can seriously now go without a phone. I've even won contests and free cell phones on Android central for my articles on EMUI. That's a shame too. I absolutely love EMUI and personally I do not in any way think it's anything like Android. The entire feel and experience is just that different. EMUI is 10 times smoother than Android and it's not choppy nor sticky. It has zero lag time and it can easily or could be branded as a third mobile tech software choice in addition to Android and IOS. To be honest since I went out and bought a Moto Z Play, I even doubt I'll bother sending mine in after reading the after sales stuff that Huawei does not stand behind. Plus they've cost me $399 so I'm super angry and I may have won some article contests but I can do that with another company too. I'll miss EMUI no doubt but not from what I read their after sales commitment.

English is OK. You do it every time when you charge it? Or does it fix the problem forever?

Hello everyone, I have the same problem. I can charge my device by choosing charge only option and connecting the USB cable just after.
If you look at the menu showed in the notification bar it is similar to the menu option, something like USB configuration, in the developer settings. If you don't see the developer settings you have to activate them. But it is not the same menu, there is no reverse charge option. Could it be a hidden menu?
I have tried to delete the settings app data, but it hasn't helped.
Hope it could help someone to solve this issue.
usb reverse charging flickering
Im having problem with usb icon for charging is flickering. When i swipe notification screen down and tap on the notification of it it says reverse charging. When i connect charger it is ok. but when no usb cable it keeps flickering. Is there an app that disables usb entirely? The usb connector is clean and i got my honor 8 about 10 months and it started like week ago. Maybe an update to emui?. If we could just block reverse charging option that would be great.
Here is a video of it:
.ww. uschovna .cz/en/zasilka/MDUEC76ISGUW6SJ4-MEW/
Please help, what should i do?
OP here:
So I never figured out a fix for this. I contacted Honor they were going to warranty my phone, but I had to mail it to the warranty center from a US address ( I live in Canada). So I contacted my retailer Newegg and they were awesome to deal with. I sent them my old phone (they covered shipping) and they mailed me a new one. So if this happens, I think warranty is your only option.

Thanks it does work. But this such an annoying . Tho Good to know its not a hardware defect.
3 days ago, I kept my OPO in a bag, but I didn't know that the bag was not waterproof. The water of rain got inside of the bag. I took out my OPO after 30/40 minutes. It was down under water horizontally. I tried to unlock the phone, but there was no Display and Backlight, but the Notification light was blinking. I was outside so that I couldn't disconnect the battery. After some minutes it was getting hot. After I reached home, I disassembled all parts and saw some small parts were burned. I took it to the unauthorized servicing center because there are no authorized Service Center of OnePlus in my country(BANGLADESH). The servicing man told me that the IC of Network, and IC of the backlight of Display is burned. It will take some time to service it. After one day, He called me and said that light is not turning on. Now he is searching of another corrupted motherboard of OPO where the BackLight IC is good at least. Then he will transfer it to my OPO.
I'm worried about it because, In my country, OnePlus is not well known. If the service man can't find the IC, then I can't use my OPO again which I love more than other SmartPhone.
Is there any solution? or Where I can find the IC of Backlight to buy.

Need to replace whole motherboard.
You're gonna need much more than a motherboard if water is involved.
The speakers , the camera modules, the display , flex connectors.
Just buy a new(or used) OPO.
Tips- Remove the back cover , Put it in rice for a week or two....then try charging it again. Hope for the best that it starts up.

My LG G4 AT&T switched itself off yesterday suddenly , after that it turned back on normally. But after some time it happened again and when I try to switch it back on it tries to boot but after LG logo , sometimes at LG logo it gets heated up and gets turned off. It gets heated up near camera area, I reset my phone . Last night I left my phone charging and today it turned back on for some time. When I turned it off to insert sim and memory card , it didn't get turned on. As it is an emergency and currently I cant get my phone to any shop , can anyone suggest me a way to fix this , given my zero experience with hardware and some with software. Sorry if my english is bad . Thanks .

It's either battery or hardware failure. Hate to give bad news but hardware failure with the G4 is extremely common. Only fix is a board replacement. Others have been able to temp revive them by placing them in an oven etc but that's not recommended.

First of all thanks , I was freaking out . So what would have you done if it would have happened to you? Given I can't take this phone to a repair shop , as I fried up my second LG G4 , first one was Verizon ( Leave that part ) and my parents are gonna kill me when they find out . So should I even bother buying another battery and try inserting it into my phone and check ? or it will not be helpful ? What should I do ?
Did I say thanks ?

Your very welcome. You could try another battery. But if you just Google LG G4 bootloop you'll see it's a huge issue LG will warranty it as long as there's no damage.

I bought it off some ebay seller , so I guess there's no warranty for it . I live in India and its an imported version and there's no AT&T service centers here and neither LG Service centers will lay their hands on it . So if its the case with hardware failure , I guess I should buy a board and get it replaced . I think first I am going to try replacing battery , if it works out then great else I guess I will be in huge problem . Appreciate the help.!
