flyer8493 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Does it happen after installing an app? Mine does that, too. Just move an app to the blank screen, then delete it. I think it's a bug. Sent from my Nexus 5 That worked thx. I did add an app but several hours ago. And I didn't really pay attention to see if I had the screen then or not. I'll try it out.

flyer8493 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Nope, adding an app did not do it. Its a mystery. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Edited May 3, 2014 by flyer8493 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metayoshi Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Does anybody know why it keeps adding a blank screen? I can't figure out why it does this. The only way I know how to get rid of it is to restart the phone. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk I've had that happen to me a few times as well. I never figured out what caused it, but I didn't really care too much. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it stopped right around the time Google added the Google Now Launcher to the Play Store. Maybe uninstalling and re-installing updates to the launcher would fix it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk But it has the silky plus sign instead of the dot. I think I read somewhere that Google actually puts it there sometime to show that you can have another page. Mine does it too though. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting on a desk unlocked it and lines but it does look like lcd is going. try a reboot? I get that quite often, but it typically only lasts for a second or so before it goes back normal. It will be either vertical lines with "noise" in between them or horizontal with the noise as well as the clock about 4 or 5 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z250kid Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 try a reboot? Yes I did factory reset too. I think LCD screen is shot. I called lg they want me to send it in. Glad I didn't sell my s4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnygATL Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 In the instances I do get LTE I have noticed that my n5 switches to 3G around -101 RSRP. Is that a normal threshold for such a switch? I would think it a bit early as there is always usable LTE so long as I force LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it a bit early as there is always usable LTE so long as I force LTE. It shouldn't be switching to 3G that early... Unless the network itself is switching you over to 3G from an overburdened 4G site. My N5 stays on 4G till about -125 RSRP, but I am also on the .15 radio.

Do you know of a link that might describe the "flashing" process? Rooting/flashing radios on the n5 is by far the easiest thing ever. Google it. The app "flashify" will be your best friend for radio switching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk The network might be shunting you over to 3G to balance the load so data can be used by everyone connected to the tower. I know it is supposed to do that between LTE bands but my guess it can do it between 3G and LTE as well. I've seen this happen before too Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk that actually has happened to me and my market a lot of the band 25 towers are already overloaded so especially at peak if trying to watch video I'll drop down to 3G and then push back up to LTE. It will Shuffle between towers in the area until I can find a tower that can actually stream video content as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
