So most of us know about the System UI crash when using Chromecast, but this is even stranger. [Edit: an OTA update fixed this.] Some times, when I wake my phone up at the lockscreen or at times in the middle of a call - the touch screen stops responding. I can press and/or hold the volume buttons and there is a response on screen but I can not interact with the phone at that point. I can't continue to do battery pulls everytime. This is crazy. I'm on stock software. No crazy mods or anything. I've done a reset in the past and flashed the stock package again but this still happens every few hours. Only happens when the screen just wakes up...
Edit: This is a confirmed fix for me.
If you face the same issue, try:
open dialer
press 3845#* INSERT THREE DIGETS OF YOUR MODEL NUMBER THE PRESS #, for example, I am the F400K, so 3845#*400#
Hardware Device Test > Touch
update touch firmware
touch firmware version
wait 10 sec
reboot
I would say there is a misbehaving app causing the phone to lag in wake (that is all the unresponsiveness will be, extreme lag).

@Lennyuk - tried for over 30minutes after leaving it alone, I doubt it's a delay... Battery pulls work, but that's not the point.

That was not his point.....to Find the app that is causing it go one by one uninstalling until you find it.... Something probably to do with app and the screen

Totally agree with @Epix4G on this one. I am assuming you had a korean variant? The SK Telecom stock image is pretty ugly. Took me 3 debloat attempts before I had it behaving the way I wanted it to, but before I debloated, I had some lag issues (SK Telecom... grrrhhh).
Historically, Korean carriers (much like AT&T and Verizon) love putting useless junk on the phones for "productivity" but really they are there to charge Korean users more for other services, etc.
If you haven't done so, I would root and debloat, and see how big of a difference it makes (absolutely amazing performance after debloating on my F400S).
^^^^ - Will take that into consideration.
This may be a possible fix for now, can't yet confirm
open dialer
press 3845#* INSERT THREE DIGETS OF YOUR MODEL NUMBER THE PRESS #, for example, I am the F400K, so 3845#*400#
Hardware Device Test > Touch

touch firmware version

It may or may not help
EDIT: It's been a few weeks and I haven't had this issue again. Usually every 4-6 hours it used to happen after powering on the screen, but so far so good.
Tried that with 855 version, it's not working. This is REALLY depressing as i just got a new phone and from day one i'm having this problem. I just can't believe LG screwed up like this, and there's no mention of this anywhere online other than this XDA thread. I hope i don't have to root and install custom rom as this really defeats the purpose of the phone.
@deedscreen
I'm having exactly the same problem on an 850 and tried your firmware method. The version number of the firmware did not change after reboot.
ic_fw_version info
SYnaptics 5.5
PanelType 1
version: v1.22
IC_product_id[PLG313]
Touch IC : s3528(family_id = 1, fw_rev = 1)
What version is your firmware? Also, did you find out about the fix from somewhere?
I have the F400K, but just got a US T-Mobile edition, (I'll eventually switch my signature). I would honestly suggest waiting for an OTA update. Call LG so they can document this. If that touchscreen update method doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do. I found the method somewhere online, I don't recall where exactly. If someone can figure out how to side load the touch screen firmware from a working Korean model to others, that would be great. For now, keep calling LG. It won't do much at first, but at least they'll have reports of this issue.
I have (RAW) touch screen firmware version: 30 05 51 96
Same problem, but not only on lock screen
Since 5 days I have my G3 (855 Modell). I was happy the first two days, then I discovered the problem, that the device is always unlocking itself, when in my front pocket. It's because of the Knock on feature. I deactivated this now.
But since yesterday i have the same issue: three times, i was unable to unlock my phone. The touchscreen simply did not respond. I had to remove battery. Today, I read this post and tried the firmware update of the touch, but I have the impression it did not change something in the version.
After this, today I had again once time the non responding touch while unlocking and shortly after, I had the issue after ending a phone call! The touch did no longer respond and had to remove the battery again!
I hope this is not a hardware issue, otherwise I will hurry up to the seller to exchange the phone, because its only 5 days old.
This is happening when the screen is on right? Or is the screen turning off and then not turning I again?
You need to keep Knock feature on, someone already said this. That's why your screen is freezing.

Upps, yes, I just read this message now. To late: I was in the shop now and got mine exchanged. Anyway, that issue with the knock on feature should be solved also by LG: it's not acceptable, that the phone is always unlocking in my pocket.But then I wait with deactivating knock on for the moment.
So bad: such a good phone and such an annoying bug

I sold mine after a few days, i was sick with it. I disabled the knock feature through the hidden menu only to have the screen freeze every day. What, i can't use the phone the way i like? I have to face the screen outwards in my pocket and risk damaging it? Screw that...
That, plus the overheating and horrible build quality (back got scratched in my pocket) was a deal breaker for me...

Yes, indeed i also think about it. I got an official statement from support, regarding that the phone is unlocking all the time by itself in my pocket. They told me stuff like:
- this is a normal behaviour and can happen (!!)
- don't put your phone in the front pocket
- use the quick circle case to prevent...
- disable knock on (which is at least not possible over a standard setting, but only via the hidden menu).
I wrote back:
- that for me, this is not a normal behaviour
- that 90% of male users are wearing the phone in the front pocket
- that I don't like to buy a case only to prevent a bug of a premium telephone and
- finally, that they please could tell me, where and how to disable knock on
I am curious about their answer...
Good luck with that, disabling it through the settings doesn't change anything and they probably won't have a fix for months. They'll probably fix it though Android L update which will sadly come 6 months from official release at least.
Next time i purchase an Android phone i'm going with Nexus line...

So what happened? How is it doing now?
Hey everyone, I just wanted to report my results of this touchscreen bug.
Well, I've only had my D851 for a week now. Of course I rooted it the same day I received it.
I had no touch issues until after restoring apps with Titanium Backup. I'd restore all user apps, then very few system app via XML. Since I just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 T999 I limited the system apps greatly. So much in fact that I only restored 1 system app......Media Storage 4.4.4 (Playlist). THAT WAS MY SCREEN KILLER!
The media scan on my D851 would render my screen unresponsive. I could only hold the power button and click power off or restart or whatever else was on that power menu. Then the phone would reboot after minutes of of a dead screen.
I flashed back to stock and reproduced the same issue. So now I've been running this device for 3 days without any screen lockups. I just have to rebuild my playlist again LOL.
I hope this helps someone here.
Knock
If you turn off the ability to wake by knocking the screen, it causes this issue where the screen locks. Turn it back on and the problem seems to go away.
I think LG really has to deal with this issue.
Hi guys, I have red a lot about this issue but I'm still confused with my LG G3 855.
First I realize problem with unlocking the phone using double click. Tried to upgrade touch software firmware using hidden menu and the screen became almost totally unresponsive. Tried to re-flash original 5.0 and 4.4.2, factory reset, battery removed, etc. but no luck.
I'm wonder if this is a software problem or became hardware. Should I consider replacing display or problem is in motherboard?
I really don't know what to do! Appreciate any comments or suggestions!!!
Thanks in advance!
I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue
https://goo.gl/photos/F823e125PQckCPLp6
The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?
I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.
Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.
Is another thread really necessary?

Might be, because this only happens with IG. I've got the exact same problem, only with IG and its very annoying.

You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG
Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.
Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.
I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?
I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.
I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?
Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?
New member here, first post.
I had my g4 several weeks ago (uk version). Great phone, however recently the screen seems far too sensitive. Sometimes apps or other features are activating on their own without me pressing on them.
I looked in the settings but havent found a way to resolve this. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Just to clarify a bit more about my issue.
Its like the "floating touch" some phones have, where i can be an inch or two away from the screen but it still activates. More rarely, it seems as if it was activating by sensing light or movement. Strange. Is the g4 supposed to have this type of function?

That sounds like a problem. The G4 is actually known for lacking sensitivity and yours is doing the opposite. enable this settings to see if it is actually detecting ghost touches.
Settings, About Phone, Software Info and tap on 'Buidld number' 7 times. Then go back to settings and tap Developer options, enable 'Show Touches'
if the dots show without your intervention, then it's likely due to faulty touchscreen.
Anyways, do a factory reset and see if it helped.

Same here, on Imperium and Stock rom, I have the phone since 6 months and it is a really random issue... my bootloader is unlock so I don't know if I can send it to warranty.
For information I have enable the touch "tracing" in developper menu, and when the issue occurred it's getting me perfect vertical line from bottom to top screen, and open a lot of apps..

And from the sound of it... Yours pretty much ****ed, at least to my knowledge. Hardware screwed and no warranty. Just bought mine like 3 weeks ago, and hated it so much. So much hyped, but the experienced is so far ****ty at best.
I suspect mine hardware issue. This seems like it's gonna be the first, and the last LG for me. Even mine with warranty still intact. Blackberry used to give this feeling long ago with their ****ty storm. Now, LG and blackberry can share that same ****ed up grave.
As madgibbon indicates, I was on Accessibility / Motricity / Response time (my phone is in french so i'm not sure if it will be exactly like that on yours) and I have set to "Long".
Since that, the issue is no longer appear, I have also switch to rom V20F (Turkey) with still the same setting for accessibility, and I don't have the issue anymore.
I don't know if it is a hardware issue, my phone falls maybe 4 times but with a case and from a little height, no broken glass or something else.
This is all the things I tried before that ;
Using flipcover (QI charge and quick circle), I have tested the "normal" case but same issue
I had a glass protection, I have removed it and cleaned my screen, same issue
I have done lot of hard reset (i'm kind of full wipe addict), same issue
Only the solution of madgibbon works fortunately, thanks mate
I'm also a bit disappointed by this phone, it is great sure I mean fluid, great camera etc... but I have some little issue that ruin the experience unfortunately (this issue with touchscreen, i'm experiencing issue with my Chromecast too that i don't have with other phones, some heating, I don't find the battery usage so good since MM, can't relock bootloader since now). I don't blame LG because i'm using some of their products and I'm / was really satisfied with : Optimus 2x, Nexus 5, TV, Monitor, Sound Bar. Anyway, waiting for 2016's Nexus and I will see if I switch or not.

Screen problem after all, just picked my phone up from the place that I bought for under warranty fix, and they told me they did replace for a new screen, and all is looking fine and dandy for now. Hope it stay this way, finger crossed. 3 weeks purchased and already this problem. I doubt this thing will last.
I'm just trying to narrow down why randomly the fingerprint scanner does not wake the phone. It might happen once a day or not for a couple of days, but it seems to always come back. Not a huge deal since the power button will always work, but it is disconcerting when it happens. I'm not using any power widget or lock program although I do use Nova Launcher Pro. Does this happen to anyone else and if so have you narrowed it down?
Mine always wakes my phone, although every now and then it doesn't recognize my print. However, I believe it's because of how my finger lays on the sensor so I think it's user error in my case.
I've registered 4 prints, 2 from each index finger and all in different positions on the sensor to get the least reading errors.
Are you saying that you get no vibration as in it doesn't even register at times therefore you HAVE to use the power button to wake it?
I use nova pro too.

Yes exactly, no vibration. I've had it where it vibrates and doesn't unlock because my fingers are slightly wet or something. This is like it doesn't even know my finger is on the sensor. Power button unlocks and then it works again. Last time I said ok I'm not unlocking with the power button I'm gonna get this to work. Nope, had to power button it on after a minute or so of trying. As I said, it's not that big a deal and only happens once in a while. Glad it's not Nova though. Kernel dev said it's not the kernel , I'm using Elemental X. I might try going back to the stock kernel just to test it out. Problem is that I can't reproduce it.

And I meant to include the "big" question in my original reply. Big being "what mods are you using"
Best way to trial and error issues as you well know? I'd test it on all stock (for a day or 2) and see what that gets you then you can narrow down to if it's the kernel or not. I'm not a kernel dev, but an educated guess would point to that imo

No mods.. well let me rephrase that. I have a bunch of programs running naturally, but the only "mod" I have is Cataclysm and systemless root along with Elemental X kernel. Cataclysm is considered a mod these days as it's just an overlay on stock 6.01. I know I'd have to go full stock to test for a few days but I'm so so trying to avoid that as I'm sure you know. Thanks for all the input guys, I know this can't just be me right? Hey wait a sec.. I do have a BT smart band unlock running. I'm going to take that off and see if that makes a difference. Maybe that is interfering with the fingerprint requirement.
Edit..nope not it. Gonna run stock kernel next.
The exact same thing is happening to me. Same symptoms but I am on fully stock. I'm also using nova pro. Been searching around for an answer but haven't found anything.

Too many people on Nova Pro for it to be an undocumented issue. I know it's been said that it is not the kernel, however, yesterday morning I flashed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/jolla-kernelbullhead-t3271530 and I've not had the issue since. I usually have it at least once / day and none so far. That doesn't mean it's not going to happen in 5 minutes though. I went with stock kernel values if you're rooted and feel like giving it a try.
I was having this issue randomly when running custom hotplugging. Currently no issues with default cpu hotplug settings and ElementalX.
For me I have a case on my 5x. There are two cutouts - one for fingerprint sensor and one for camera. They're both about the same size. Every once in awhile I find myself reaching for the camera instead of the fingerprint sensor. When I first got the phone I thought my fingerprint wasn't working at times. Turns out I was just putting my finger on the camera instead of the fingerprint sensor. Any chance this is what's going on?

Don't make me question my own sanity! hehe. I did the same thing at the outset but quickly realized my error. This is not what happens here, however. I even put it back in my pocket once to make sure it wasn't some aberration. It just wouldn't recognize there was even a finger there. Almost thought the phone had shut down but power button got it working again. Haven't had the issue in well over a day now with this kernel but I'm not sure that's what it is.

This has happened to me twice. Both times while charging. Has not happened any other time. (stock everything/not rooted)

Happened to me not charging, rooted with custom kernel. So it's across the board hit or miss. I have a feeling it will be fixed in an update or OTA. Not a deal breaker just odd is all. Oh well, if we didn't have a power button it would be major.
After 3 years of usage my Nexus 5X fingerprint scanner stopped working at all and i can't do anything about it apparently. The issues started when i sent the phone to LG to fix the bootloop
Hello guys!
I have bought a brand new Mate 20 X just 3 days ago!
I noticed that some times I click something and it wont do anything or do it with delay and sometimes I click on something and it vibrates like it did it but nothing happened (like home button for example).
Does anyone else face this issue? do you know how to fix it?
Have a great day!
Nothing here, I also use the gestures so never use the home button. Is it specific apps that cause issues or just in general?

Yep, it happens to me quite frequently. I don't think it has anything to do with the screen though. Do you have a nano memory card? Are you stock? What apps have you installed? What browser do you use? Mine started doing it after the 192 update (I think) and has been doing it ever since whether I'm on stock or on a custom rom. You'll tap a program and see that it selected but sometimes it takes like five to ten seconds to open.

Have you tried a hard reset to see if that fixes it?

sometimes when I touch with 2 fingers to zoom (for example on a document) it just stays on zoom mode even when I touch with 1 finger (so when I try to move around it will change the size like a 2 fingers gesture).
scrolling is way slower than any other phone I tested, has anyone else noticed that?
Take screen protector off and clean it might be smudged . Maybe you could try glove mode it's more sensitive in settings

It's not a screen issue, it's a software issue.

tried both, didnt help.
I thought I was the only one with this issue.
After flashing the Resurrection Remix rom I have never encountered this problem.
I'll be going back to stock soon so I'll see if the problem still exists.
Mine works perfectly. Even with the protective film scratched. Worked perfectly with my previous screen protector, a tempered glass type. I have the chinese EVR-TL00 midnight blue model. Everything stock, no root.
I also have this problem
You're not alone, this is happening to me as well on the EVR-L29. In my experience it is most noticeable when tap typing and a letter I tapped on does not register. Also, once in a while when I tap on an app to open it nothing happens and I'll have to tap it again for it to open. It's a mild annoyance for me, but not to the point of ruining the experience. I'm hoping a future software update addresses this, unless it's hardware related. I love the phone, but this is probably my biggest gripe outside of the possibility of no future upgrades in Huawei's spat with the US.
