I got my ET4G a couple weeks ago and I've noticed that when the screen is rotated horizontally (for games), my left hand covers the light sensor and causes the screen to get darker. I could disable the auto-brightness, but I kinda like that for battery life.
So, is there a way I could get the screen to rotate in the opposite direction so my left hand isn't blocking the light sensor?
I'm running the stock rom right now, and I know I could do it on my old phone which was running CM7, but I'm reluctant to root/flash my brand new phone just yet.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Any reason you couldn't just turn it the other direction?
I realized that the screen rotation is app-dependent. Some apps, like games, only rotate one way. Oh well. It's not a huge deal.

About 2 months ago I started getting phantom touches on my screen, always on the right side. In the app Dotty, I could create the touches by moving my finger near the right edge until a circle would appear and start barely moving up and down really fast. This would be the primary touch point and other touch points would show on the screen in Dotty but in any other program all secondary touches were ignored(keyboard, homescreen). This created the illusion of the touchscreen simply not working. To fix it I had to sleep/wake the phone a couple times until it went away. This issue would come and go and seem to be really bad for a day then there wouldn't be a problem for a week. As of now, the phantom touch point problem seems to have gone away. However, the right 1/4" of the screen no longer registers touch. This mainly only affects the P key but is quite annoying. The strip that doesn't work runs from x:287-320(edge) in Dotty. I've flashed, re-flashed several roms and can't seem to fix the problem. Any ideas? Is this a digitizer gone bad? Should I contact HTC/is it covered by the warranty?
When I wake the phone, seconds right before the lock screen I notice a type of static screen with vertical lines.
It is more apparent when trying to wake the phone in dark settings or a dark room.

Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this on their Epic 4G Touch? I just got the phone 3 days ago and am wondering if its a hardware issue and if I should return it. Any help is appreciated.
Attached is a picture that resembles the pattern.
I've never noticed it. I even tried to re-create the issue and I couldn't. I am also running the stock firmware (EG30) and I am not rooted.
Thanks for the help... I'm not taking any chances. Called to get a replacement.
Hi
I bought a new RHOD100 and am running Stock WinMo 6.5. First few days the phone worked beautiful. But about a week of usage landed me in this condition.
The screen only lights up with the keyboard is out and not tilted. Other than that, if it's slid in (portrait mode) or when it is tilted up, the screen freezes to whatever it was like when the keyboard was slid out. The touch functions work, I can hear screen tap sounds, and if I click on the right icon things open and close too, but the display remains frozen until I slide out the keyboard and/or undo the tilt.
Any ideas how to fix this? Is that hardware or software?
I have never dropped it, nor exaggerated the tilting.. Can it be the Flex cable?
Definitely hardware... almost 99.99999999% sure this issue is hardware.
I'm betting it is indeed the flex cable. If you're feeling brave, you can attempt to take the phone apart and see if you can find the issue - keep in mind, this is very delicate and tedious work. Need a steady/careful hand and a lot of space! Good tools help too .

I was wondering if someone has noticed similar behavior on their G3. My G3 is 100% stock and is only a week old. Wherever I wake up my device, about 5 seconds after turning it the screen has a small flicker and the screen seems to auto adjust or calibrate. This only happens once every time I wake up the device. My auto-brightness is set to off and the screen is at 100% brightness. I did some tests and noticed that when I wake up the device with the top sensors covered (proximity, front camera etc), that the screen doesn't have this flick to it. Is there some sort of "outdoor" mode or something on these where the screen will self calibrate when it notices it's in a bright situation?
Please test on your devices and let me know if you see anything similar to this. I tried taking a video but it's so quick and subtle that the video doesn't show it.
mine does same. vzw. covered sensors, still brightness adjustment.
only just now noticed today, but could have been happening all along.
I think it has something do with the proximity sensor. If you cover the sensor with a note pad you cannot turn on the screen, prob a tap to wake feature so it doesn't turn on in your pocket. But if you lift the note pad just enough to turn the screen on and quickly cover it, mine does not flick. I have tried this many times and worked 100% of the times.
My friend who works for at said that his does the same as well as the demo. Must be a weird firmware issue. Hopefully its resolved in the next ota
How many times are you gonna make this thread?

Hi guys,
anyone had an issue where the screen flickers really badly? Mine has been working great then today it did a weird glitch where the button bar at the bottom went halfway up the screen, and the screen flickered really bad, like a tube light starting up. Ive reset it and now its flickering like a fluorescent tube light. everything still works, but im on the phone to three now organising to get it returned.
cheers

ok, so an update to this. after leaving the phone on all day the flickering screen stopped flickering, however now i have an issue where plugging my ear pollution headphones causes the phone to now show as a headset with microphone, and the voice assistant to appear. It is also now getting really hot on charging where it didnt before, so my returns envelope arrived today, and its off back to LG for a repair. Seems very strange how its happened after a month of relatively light use, where my 2 htc phones were working great after 2 years of use?
anyway, lets see what rubbish comes back from LG
Home screen Magnifies
I have a weird problem with LG G3 screen
When i double tap to lock the screen .....Home screen Magnifies and if i double tap on that again it goes back to normal
I dont understand why .....can anyone please suggest me if any option to be tweaked under settings
Thanks
