LG Eve - no display

I hv been using LG eve for only 4 days & i found the screen freezes - there is no display - but keyboard & touch works ...I have faced it 4 times in last 4 days!!! this is really annoying.

you will receive msgs & other things - but the only problem is no display. had to restart it to fix the problem all the time...(pressing power button & guessing/touching where the confirmation prompt will show up)

I always turn on the gps & wi-fi.

is it a common problem or only my cell??

update: this is now happening frequently- it happened 6 times in last 30 mins!!!! expecting more to come...
 
Me and my girlfriend both got this phone on the same day and having the same damn problems. I'm thinking it might be because we are running a task killer app. Same one I used on my magic with no problems. We just deleted the task killerand ill update ya if you wanna know how it goes. Besides that idea I'm clueless, but its really annoying.


I hv just got a new (replacement) phn (LG eve) from Rogers -went to the store twice (on 2 different days for this prob ) & finally they replaced my phn. i was lucky i could show the problem to roger store guys today - it happened again in the store today...

let me know if you got any clue/solution for this problem - i hv not tested the new one yet.

I guess LG's custom home screen is causing it - once i found it crashed. If i face it with this new phn - i may try the default android home screen ...& if it still happens...hv to dump this cell...

Thanks for your reply.

You have to change the settings. The default for screen to black is like 10 seconds. There are options in the Settings>Display menu. I have mine set to 10 minutes (if you use that, or Never, for example, you use more battery life).

That's no the problem.

The screen remains black all the time. This problem is not related to screen timeout...

I was thinking about getting the eve but after reading all these posts I'm very concerned about getting one?

I have had the LG Eve from Rogers for a week now. A day after I bought the phone, the screen locked up, as described here. I got a replacement phone. 3 days later it's now doing the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. I love the phone, and hope that it's a matter of adjusting some settings.

Have you tried using the Android Home instead of LG home. it's under utilities menu.

I have found LG Home program had some problem...crashed 2-3 times on my last phn.

Greetings to all.
I am in France, I just got the LG GW 620 "Eve" from a french provider.
I am having the exact same problem: Sometimes I cannot "wake" the phone from standby. The screen's backlight turns on but not the screen itself. This has happened even with a well charged battery. Another french user had the same "crashes" even before installing any app from the Market...

Apparently LG is not thinking in upgrading this phone to Android 1.6 or 2.0. (I contacted them on The LG GW620 Smartphone )

I think I will return the phone to my provider... but I am afraid that they might give me a replacement phone that will have the same crashes...

Has your providers (Rogers) given you any patches for the phone?

This is a shame, because otherwise this phone is great...

I have not yet called my provider, Rogers, as the phone has been stable - with no crashes - for over a week now. I didn't do anything different to the phone. I'm still going to call Rogers for support, just to see if they have any advice, in case the problem re-occurs. Good luck!

I'm at my second LG phone with Rogers and still have the same issue. This might be a problem with android (see http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/11373-hero-sleep-problem.html and http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4582).

The phone will randomly not wake up from sleep, only a back light will light up. The phone features seem to work (i can hear the click sound when pressing on the hardware picture button, and can take a phone call by pressing the menu button) but it is impossible to see anything on the screen until battery is pulled out and phone is rebooted.

I have android 1.5
with
Open Home (same problem with dxtop, and more often with dxtop)
Locale
TasKiller
Astra

Does anyone have a phone with no apps installed running the default android home. I would like to confirm that this is still a problem.
Thx!
