Very strange issue.
LG G2 and the screen had the crazy colors you might get on a video card when the VRAM goes bad. The strange thing is I did a factory reset and ran stress tests and it worked perfectly.
Then I inserted a sim card and boom it went crazy again. Sometimes display is missized and drawn over itself, other times just the fuzzy random colors. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how to actually fix it. I was thinking of swapping the innards from another working G2 I have that has the touchscreen glitch issue, but I am pretty curious if this error makes any sense at all, or if perhaps something got inside the phone and a sim card makes a ribbon cable get pushed or something strange. I can't think of a good explanation.
Currently I am just using an old nexus 4.
edit:
So I popped open the phone and pulled out the sim tray and immediately it went back to working perfectly. Definitely the cause. I blew out the slot and put the card in with back off it worked fine. Put back on and it still worked, so who knows. I did not see anything in there and it might fail again, but for now I am happy.
