LG G5: Proximity Sensor after screen replacement

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 21:18:43 -0700

Hello!

I just had my LG G5's screen replaced after it got cracked. However, now as soon as I dial a call, the screen goes black (locks itself). Similarly, if I am making a call on whatsapp, as soon as I dial the call the Whatsapp screen locks itself!

I understand that this might have something to do with a proximity sensor? The person who repaired the screen for me has no idea about how to fix this unfortunately so I am a bit stuck here.

Anyone else faced similar issues? I have tried resetting the phone as well as calibrating the sensors.

Would appreciate some assistance.

Thank you.

LG G5: Repairing & cleaning a water damaged LG G5 (Backlight not working)

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 04:38:19 -0700

Hello!

I recently left my phone in the pouring rain for about 10-15 minutes (long story, i'm an idiot basically) and now I'm left with a dead back light. After sitting in rice for about 3-4 days, everything was working perfectly other than the "auto" brightness option (it would just stay on whatever setting I left it at). But recently my back light decided to give up completely and I'm only able to /barely/ read my phone by shining a flashlight on it. As far as I can tell, everything else seems to be working fine!

It's been a little over two weeks since the incident (backlight stopped working 3 days ago) and I KNOW I shouldn't have waited this long to take apart my phone, but I was terrified to do it until now~

Here are some pictures of the water damage:

https://i.gyazo.com/a5e3a1bbe21b1d2a69d4...

https://i.gyazo.com/0562940839b0b1ecc7e3...

https://i.gyazo.com/fb31052e3b1e9a4048c5...

If it isn't obvious, I don't have a whole lot of an idea of what on earth i'm doing, but i'm assuming this blob (corrosion?) is part of the issue)

https://i.gyazo.com/35ddadcdf3bc2dd4f65b...

I can also unscrew the logic board if needed (:

So my question is -- Are there any areas that I need to NOT get isopropyl alchohol on? I know I need to use something stronger than 90% so I'll have to go search for that :p

And after cleaning everything, do you think if I replace the LCD screen WITH the frame attached, it will fix my backlight issue?

Thank you for any help!!

LG G5: Ringtone Setting not understood

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 23:58:24 -0700

I cant work out how to assign different ringtones to different callers in my contacts list. I can enter edit mode in contacts view and change notification sound, and can change group membership, but I cannot change ringtone. I have tried it with the fiull contacts file copied from Google to Phone...makes no difference. I cannot see how to copy contacts to the SIM...maybe that is what is required..? Can anyone help please..?

LG G4: LG G4 screen turning itself on after timeout

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 13:05:14 -0700

This issue started about 3 or 4 days ago for the record. I have been trying to find a solution online but I have yet to come across a real solution (other than sending it in to LG for 9 days (completely unacceptable)). It happens whenever I turn the screen off, either through the lock button or the double tap. The screen will power off correctly and then turn itself back on within the next second. If i leave the screen to timeout at 15 sec like I have it set to, the phone will dim and then the screen will close, only for the screen to immediately turn itself right back on. This is killing my battery life and making my phone constantly overheat. If someone has found a solution please share it with me, I am reaching my wits end

LG G Vista: Why cant I make or recieve phone calls?

Wed, 05 Apr 2017 19:55:10 -0700

After replacing the screen, I cannot make or receive phone calls. My texting and internet work fine. When I try to place a,

call, I get the message, "out of service area" displayed across the top of the screen along with the "call dropped" sound. I have called straight talk only for them to tell me I have coverage and to call verizon, since it is a verizon phone. Verizon told me there is nothing they can do, as I am not a verizon customer.
