I have the VS985 version of the G3 and got stuck in camera mode: after keeping it in camera over a 40 minute period of time (during an event), I couldn't get out of camera mode. (I couldn't get the home/back icons to pop up.) All screen touches triggered taking a picture.
I ended up rebooting the phone.
Is there any other way to get out without rebooting?
(After this, I really liked the Galaxy S3 where it had a permanent area for the menu-home-back buttons. As much as I like the G3, I am now thinking the S3 has that part right.)

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.
Stock Phone, No Modifications.
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.
I've got a problem with a OneX I'm trialling for work.
This is a stock device with the latest OTA update applied. I installed Good for Enterprise, activated it, and got my work emails. I opened a PDF attachment which opened for a couple of seconds then the display glitched.
The attached images show what I mean. The display is glitched for every screen. Soft resetting the phone was okay until it started again a couple of minutes later.
Soft resetting a 2nd time was where my real problems started. The phone vibrated as it started, but the display stayed dark. If I tap the power, the touch buttons light up. If I go through the motions of the lock ring and my gesture lock, I feel vibrations of my actions but can't see a thing. If I ring the phone, it rings, the touch buttons light up and the LED blinks. The display stays dark at all times.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It's almost like when a graphic card overheats in a PC.
I would try a hard reset, see what that does, it should fix it as it looks like software problem
Squeeze your phone between thumb and forefinger (on the screen and rear cover) about 1.5-2cm in from the USB port, and slightly below. Let us know if the screen comes back on.

I think your phone is on drugs.
Seriously though, that's the scariest gfx bug I've seen on a phone.
Work were just as surprised as everyone else.
It's been sent back to them so they can talk with Vodafone about just what's happened with it.
In the few days I had it, it's a decent phone. The primary reason for considering the OneX is the screen size, and the fact you can read a PDF clearly on it.

Mine looks exactly the same once Ive had a few whisky's...
I had the exact same problem, so I shipped off my phone to service.
They actually changed the whole motherboard. I got my phone back 2 days ago, and it is working better than ever. Even better than before they changed the board.
My guess; Same problem as me. Busted motherboard. Im waiting to get a reply from the service guys that fixed my phone, so I can get some solid answers about what was actually wrong.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

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
Ray
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

I had something happen to my display over the weekend and a row of the screen does not work for touch. I'm going to get it to a sprint store when i can, but want to know if anyone knows how to suppress the hardware control screen that keeps popping up. I've tried to go to the setting on boot and turn it off, but it keeps coming back on.
have the some problem with my wife phone
me too,, about a half inch from top. my phone also has the phantom touches, and screen goes berserk. LG has too know already. alot of people in the lg g2 android troubleshooting have threds on this. Going to call LG , and try for a replacement,, its a hardware problem, from what i gather
Since a few weeks my LG G3 has te following problems:
- Auto rotation is not working
- Camera is unable to focus frequently when starting the app for the first time
- Camera is not saving while recording, but photos are working fine
- Screen is not turning off while making a phone call
- Auto brightness is not working
- Sometimes the infrared sensor at the front side of the screen is constantly turned on, untill I reboot
I've dropped the phone once, very softly from like 20 cm, on the right bottom side.
The strange thing is that the problems occurd step by step and sometimes disappeared after rebooting, but now all the problems listed above are unfixable.
Checked CPU-Z at the sensors tab, none of them seem to work:
And the original values from a fully working LG G3:
Any ideas on how to fix this, it's getting really annoying right now.
Thanks,
Niek
I guess returning the phone to LG is not going to work, since it has already one scratch mark on it from falling.
Any ideas?
hi @Niekjuh,, how the solution for your phone ?
Returned the phone, they could not repair it so returned the money instead.
