Since I've purchased my G3 and changed all roms, from official to stock, from kitkat to lollipop (all LG based) I've always been having same 2 problems.
They are really annoying and I have no idea how to get rid of them and I don't see anyony else complaining about it so it could be just my phone in particular.
1. When lockscreen is set on swipe, sometimes it doesnt unlock from first try, animation follows as my finger goes but after it stays locked. I got big hands and I can do long swipe (in case if somebody was to say I didnt swipe long enough).
2. This is even more annoying. This was on both Kitkat and Lollipop. In recents sometimes I get displayed all recently used apps and sometimes I see only last one used. When I swipe to clean that one app and enter recents again, the previous app shows up alone. then for 3rd again, then 4th, etc. On Kitkat it was pretty rare, but on Lollipop it happens to me all the time.
Is it just me or this happens to you too?
Hi, I have official 20F rom. I haven't encountered any of the 2 issues you mentioned.

I have a problem where, I am in a conversation in Whatsapp, and i am done writing a message, and then i lock the screen, and when i unlock it maybe 15 seconds later, i type, but nothing is showing up, its just records what i press but doesn't type. I have to go the the main screen, and reopen Whatsapp to get it working again...
Anyone else notice this?
Its really annoying if you are in an intense conversation and have to act fast
ROM: Codename Android 1.5.5
Kernel: FrancoKernel Milestone 2
I have wiped everything 1000x times and reinstalled everything. Found some people who had the same issue, but no one found a solution.
Thanks XDA,

Happens sometimes to me too and I am rooted on stock. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with whatsapp having an ICS bug.

Whatsapp used to have exact same problem on my Nokia 5800XM too, I think it happens because of Whatsapp.
confirmed this happening occasionally on LG optimus one.
therefore, it is definitely because of the whatsapp app itself
usually i just press back button for once, back to conversation list and go back to my conversation. typing works back so you dont need to go homescreen thats two steps back
Confirmed bug for me too
Galaxy Nexus GSM
AOKP M4
Franco M2
To everyone who replied, thank you! Makes my life easier knowing its not ROM/Kernel etc...
Filed a complain to Whatsapp, such a great app apart from this bug!

I usually press home button and then my Whatsapp icon on my main screen, usually goes fast, but still... rather annoying
How deep would this 'error' lie? Could devs fix it?
I get this exact same problem with Handcent! Currently using Swype, and like 30% of the time I will have to go back to the conversation list and re-select my conversation to start typing again.

Quick question, is everyone using NovaLauncher too? It sometimes happen with normal SMS as well. But 95% of the time it is Whatsapp

I am also using Nova, but I'm not sure why that would affect other apps like this.
Any solution to this problem?
Got the very same at my galaxy s6, too. Android 5.1.1
I'd also like to know if there's any workarounds for this. My wife's having the issue and she's blaming me. :silly:
I may have a workaround. I have the galaxy note 3 and i use a custom rom thats pretty much close to stock and I notice that if I lock the device and unlock shortly after, I can't type anywhere, on kik, what'sapp, gosms pro, even google search. So I've just decided to test things out and see what's going on and here is what I found....
Eventually I can type again if I simply wait, but no one likes to wait but this is the longest solution.
Clearing the RAM using built in cleaner or 3rd party memory cleaner seems to allow me to type again.
I didnt like playing the guessing game in knowing how long to wait before I can type again so in kik or go sms pro, I would type one of the native apps' emoticon and then hold the backspace button down until it erases it...then I knew it was ready to let me type again (I have haptic feedback on for keyboard presses so I can look away as I hold down the backspace button - this would let me know when it eventually erased due to the haptic feedback of the smiley getting deleted).
Since the issue occurred only after unlocking, I tried turning off the lock screen completely and turning off phone and back on again....keyboard types right away with no issues!
Its more secure to have a lock screen on the phone so turning off lock screen isn't the best option unless you're like me and are the only person at home with no worries of someone else taking your phone so I decided to try something else that seemed to solve the issue, and that is..............turning off "Multiple Widgets" in lock screen.....tested and worked! I can totally type again right away after unlocking the lockscreen shortly after locking it.
This is what worked for me and for you developers out there....if you can use this to pinpoint why this happens on android, perhaps you can use this information to rectify it.
Hope I helped!!!
Hello everyone, this is my first post. So recently I have been having a certain issue concerning my lockscreen bothering me. It really isn't a deal breaker, but it messes with my OCD. So at random times, the lock and message (life companion) on my lock screen shrink as shown in the attached image. It does not seem to do anything except for bother me. The lock screen does this unpredictably, but it does not do it often. I have tried a hard reset a few times and it does not fix it. It even fixes itself after a once again, random amount of time. I am not rooted, I use basic touchwiz, basically its how I got it out of the box with some games I installed through humble bundle. Any ideas?

It's a TW bug. It can also happen with the unlock "pad lock" icon that appears on the lock screen if you have no unlock effect enabled. It doesn't affect function and a restart fixes it. Happens to me maybe twice a month. Maybe it'll be squashed with the next official release. No biggie.
Hi, im running AndroidNow 6.1 and since i installed ot for the first time(version 3.2) my launcher crushes every once n awhile.
It happens with stock,google,nova or any other launcher - i prefer stock.
What happens really is, when i press home/back to exit an app to the homescreen,there pops the recent apps screen(with no open apps visible)and when i press home again to exit this screen , i see blank home page and then the icons refresh and everything reload. Latet when i open the app drawer i experience a little lag that the icons are reloaded also.
What seems to be the problem? Im rooted and ive got clean master but i dont think its related.
Please help me, thanks.
Am i the only one who experience this?
Happened to me few times. You are using 3rd party launcher?
Ps. You dont need clean master
i use the stock one,but it happned with all . why shouldn't i use it?
Tell me why you should?
This devices does not need that. It does more harm then use.
I love the feature that it prevents apps from starting on boot up.
Do you know how to solve my problem with the launcher crash?
I have the exact same problem.
This happened with the stock ROM and any launcher I tried.
Then I flashed a custom ROM (based on stock though), progressively reinstalled applications and after some time, the problem came again. Then, I progressively froze some applications with Titanium Backup, and now it happens much less than before (2-3 times a day against everytime I press "home").
My conclusion is that, even though that's a launcher crash we see, the fault probably comes from a background application. I'm still searching which one. Did you find something interesting since you opened the topic?

What I did recently was to :
- Disable the application "LIA Informant"
- Disable the application "LIA MrGDBLogger"
- Disable the application "LIA S4URecommender"
- Clear the cache (click on Settings > Storage > Data in cache)
The problem happened several times in a day before, but only occured a few times in weeks since I did this trick. The workaround was probably clearing the cache. But since the problem gradually came back after the last time I reinitialized the phone, I'm still afraid it comes back sooner or later.
I did clear cache a few times now - it always comes back.
Would be great if someone could find a fix for that, because it's very annoying.
The bad thing is that there is no send error report option. At least there would be a starting point with an error info etc.
Have you tried disabling the applications mentionned above?
I (almost) chose them randomly, but it really made a difference for me and the problem doesn't seem to come back.
Done that just now.
Will post back with the results in some time.
Do you maybe know what those apps do ? (I like to know what I'm turning off in case of any other problems)
GDB (in the Unix world) is a debugger. I have no reason to think that this GDB is the same though, I just guessed the problem should come from a system application and this one may be one.
Turning off those apps made no difference.
Was thinking that it may be one of the widgets on the home screen.
Later today, or maybe tomorrow I'll make a list of what I'm using and post it here - maybe this way we'll get whats causing this.
The only widgets I have now are Zooper Widget and Shuttle+.
But honestly, since the problem makes any launcher crash (and I think any application left in foreground when the screen turns off), I believe the root of the problem a system app/optimization, and likely one from LG since not many people seem to complain.
I hope 5.1.1 will come soon to the G3.
Any news on any update ? (not necessarily to 5.1.1)
Udated to 20p yesterday - clean update (just to be sure I've wiped 3 times - 1 before and 2 after the update).
Had a couple of hours of peace, and then it started again.

I updated to CM 12.1 two weeks ago and never encountered this problem since then.
Lately (last week or so) sometimes when I unlock my phone Google+ is running with just a black screen and I have to hit the home button to close out. I wake phone to see a Google+ at the top of an otherwise black screen. I never even open G+ so this has been frustrating. Anyone else seeing this? I don't want to uninstall because I use it for photo editing
Are you rooted? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts. I'm running a log right now in case it does it again to see exactly what's going on

Are you running in battery save mode at all? also what rom are you on? aosp or stock based?
ive noticed some apps have strange artifacts on battery save mode for aosp > i.e. lollipop L launcher. panels disappear from the app drawer (due to an animation im guessing)
I'm running battery save mode at 30%. Rooted since day 1 but stock ROM
The same thing has been happening to me but only after I charge it, and every time I charge it. I started noticing it about 2 or 3 weeks ago. The first, or one of the first, times it happened it froze the phone and I could not do a soft or hard reboot, had to remove the battery.
I have a T-Mobile G3 (D851) not rooted, stock Tmobile Kitkat 4.4.2, no battery saver.
My phone is tied to my gmail account so I'm guessing this behavior might be related to some type of auto-backup/sync. Still trying to figure out what service though.
same issue
I have the same problem. I was rooted at one point but unrooted before i updated to lollipop so now i am only on stock. I also have battery saver one, 15% i think. I know if i just charge it for a bit it doesn't happen so it has something to do with it charging for a while
I just tried turning on the 'Show surface update' option under 'Developer Options'. The screen flashes randomly even if I just keep the screen on without touching or doing anything with the phone.
I have a Xperia T2 Ultra, and if I try the same thing, the screen will only flash if I touch the screen, it doesn't flash the screen randomly like the ZUK Z2 does.
Is it happening to everyone on Stock Nougat ROM or just me? I am mainly concerned with the touch sensitivity of the phone, cause sometimes I feel, I'm missing out some screen swipes.
Any advice or suggestions?
I don't think the 'Show surface updates' setting is actually intended to show when the screen is touched. I believe it is used to indicate when the content of the screen changes; for example it might flicker if one of the icons in your statusbar changes like mobile/Wi-Fi signal strength or the clock. I guess the option you're actually thinking about is the one which says 'Show taps' under the Input heading, which displays a spot on the screen when the display panel is touched. (I don't know whether this is available in ZUI since i'm running AEX 4.5)

Thank you for the reply. Whatever you said makes complete sense. But the issue is, I have got few Android phones running kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow, these devices only shows surface update on statusbar area if I don't touch the screen. In Z2's case it flashes the complete screen randomly and frequently, I tried leaving it in settings, a picture opened in full screen etc, but same result.
I don't mind if it's a bug with the ROM, I can flash a custom ROM. But if it's caused by a hardware issue, mostly related to touch, then I'm planning to send the device back for repair or replacement. Just going to be 1 week since I bought this device.
Any suggestions?

I don't think there's anything to be worried about. I actually upgraded to a new phone today, and so flashed the Indian version of ZUI (2.5.104 ST) back onto my ZUK Z2 in preparation for selling it on Gumtree. (Which is the British equivalent of Craigslist, for those in the US) I had chance to test what you were talking about and sure enough, the same thing happens on mine; where the entire screen will occasionally flicker even with an image displayed in fullscreen, so that the statusbar icons are hidden. So unless you are noticing any actual problems whilst using the device, I don't believe there's anything to be concerned about at this stage.
