Verizon G4 Bugs & Glitches - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've had my phone for a day or so now and just wanted to list some bugs I've found and see if anyone else has experienced them.
When hanging up a phone call my wallpaper is the application settings screen of a random app (reboot fixes)
Sometimes the screen randomly turns itself on
Sometimes after leaving an email (Touchdown Exchange mail) when I press back I am brought to the application settings screen of a random app
When I get a notification and attempt to open it on the lockscreen the lockscreen becomes a rectangle about 3/4 the size of the screen which is empty and I need to swipe within that to open the app that the notification came from
I will add more as I come across them but just wondering if anyone else has experienced those same bugs/glitches. Thanks!

Not a bug but I cant seem to hide folders in my gallery

I guess that's not a bug then per se but it is ugly none the less.

I am having issues with my wifi. It will show connected, but will not connect to internet. If I turn off/on wifi, it will work again. I have tried on a airport extreme and anetgear extender. Same issue on both.

My screen is randomly turning itself on and off very quickly sometimes.

Number three is normal, it's the same on g3. Lg changed it from stick Android where a simple double tap would open the notification. However . If you excited the notifications first, then tapping it goes straight to the app, without swiping.

Hey Verizon people, are you all seeing - when using a lock screen setup (not just swipe) like knock code or pin or pattern - the ugly Emergency Call button?

I'm guessing it's a Verizon thing... I have that on my KitKat Droid Razr M.

I have Verizon and have the Emergency Call on mine as well.

This is going to sound weird but I hope someone can help. Only on my phone and only on WiFi i cant use Amazon. It shows no connection in the app and only lets me go to the sign on screen in the browser. Every other site is functional.

Lock Screen Idea - Straight to Camera with pattern?

I like the idea that the lock screen can take you straight to the camera. But with the standard slide to unlock, I found my phone unlocks in my pocket and calls people.
So, how about being able to set two (or more!) lock patterns - one to take you home, another straight into the camera?
With AOKP, you can do up to 8 different things on the lockscreen (straight to camera, straight to SMS, etc.). Try that out.

Wait...what? How does it unlock in your pocket? The screen isn't nearly sensitive enough to pick up touches on your leg through the pocket lining (unless you're wearing dress pants), but even if it were it doesn't pick up large touches in that way. It shouldn't be able to unlock at all...unless maybe you're leaving open an app that has a Menu button, since that still displays on the lock screen and pressing it once will unlock the phone.
Like the other guy said, check out AOKP. I think there might be a way to set up the combination lock like that.
They should have a little toggle. Something which you tap before entering your unlock pattern, and then it will take you straight to the camera. Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
A small toggle on the lockscreen with the pattern would be awesome. Something similar to what Moto's done on their lockscreen with the RAZR

Unless I'm missing something in AOKP, I think you're referring to the regular unlock method, not the pattern unlock. The OP is curious about having two different patterns with two different launch results.
+1 this is a good idea

screen on with text message

Hey guys I've made the jump from the s4 to the g3 and gotta say so far I'm loving it's an awesome device, one thing that I miss from the s4 though is the lock screen turning on every time I got a text message, is their anyway to do this with with the g3? while I'm at work I turn the phone notification sound to silent so I'm not constantly hearing it go off instead I would just look over and see the screen go on, if I could get that working on my g3 then it would be perfect thanks for any help
I use the app Nils Lock Screen Notifications ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget) to get lock screen notifications and to turn my screen on when a notification is received (so long as the phone isn't covered).

Thanks sounds like it's exactly what I'm looking for, dl as we speak
Confused
Hello, I recently purchased the G3 as well except I am having the opposite problem as you. Out of the box my phone does turn on the screen when i receive a text message and I wish to disable this but cannot find an option to do so. You say yours wasn't doing this at all out of the box? I feel as though i have poured through every settings option and can't disable this.
Have you tried messing with these settings?

[Share][APK]Microsoft's Next Lock Screen

The most interesting is Next Lock Screen, a lock screen replacement geared towards productivity.Next Lock Screen is all about getting things done fast, though at least for now, the number of things you can accomplish is rather limited. Your calls, texts, and calendar appointments are displayed as a list, and you can swipe each item to act on it (call back, dismiss, etc.)
If you use a PIN or password to secure your device, swiping Next Lock Screen away takes you to the default lock screen, which is both a convenience (you see your stuff right away) and a potentially privacy problem, since your notifications and calendar entries are not protected by a PIN.

How much ram consumed by it?
LG show both next lock screen and original one.
Good but not working well! Its not instant lock! Nice idea but...
All third party lock screen are not real lock screen. They consumed lots of memory and runs as foreground apps . System lock screen is required to disable to work properly. After booting , no direct lock. Nothing is better than system lock.
After using it for 24 hours I uninstalled it. It doesn't load as fast as default lockscreen. With that said, neither does any other 3rd party lockscreen.
I tried on LG Nexus 5 and works perfect. Thank you
It's more a beta version so therefore it needs some improvement.Please submit your feedback so that microsoft could improve their product.
it can show sms content but not whatsapp or any messaging apps. funny
Play Store's link is not working on Galaxy S3 i9300.
Too bad it doesnt work on my S3, just crashing
Thank you! It's blocked in my country (I don't know why) and I wanted to try it so bad.
This looks better as a Home Replacement than a Lockscreen... :\
thank you for sharing.
due to country restrictions I wasn't able to download it from the store.
Works fine on Xperia Z1C android 4.4.4 no root.
Thanks for this. Working on my S3 with the AICP rom
Thanks for sharing I tried Samsung Galaxy Note 4 not bad... Some crash to Tunein Radio lock screen and deezer lock screen...
How to replace the default lock screen on 5.0? Unlocking this will again take me to default lock screen.. Which is annoying

Emergency Call button on lock screen... can it be removed

I have a USA version by Verizon and on the lock screen at the bottom is an "Emergency Call" button. Anyone know if this can be removed and where the setting lives?
I know I could change lock screen apps with a launcher, but I don't want to at this time so I wonder if this is cooked deep into the OS and only a root function can kill it off.
I've only ever seen thsi if there's no SIM inserted, or if there's no service. It's not there in normal use. Not for me anyway. Never has been for any device.
Least you think I was BSing you can see 4G and cell signal (so SIM card is installed) and ..... emergency call button on lock screen

Hmmm...that's very weird. Never seen that on any device before. Is it a carrier branded device? Can only think it's a carrier mod? Or perhaps a requirement in the country/state you're from?
Verizon.. USA as per first post. Actually, when I Google this, it is not that uncommon but people - like me - hate it. So far I only see root and then mod as an option (which is not yet available) or a different lock screen app (which I don't want to do). I see no setting to turn it off in the Lock Screen settings area.

I can confirm on my LG G2 AT&T variant (running an international variant rom port) it shows this "emergency call" button with knock code enabled. No way to disable it that I am aware of without root. Hopefully this will come soon!
I would guess it is a safety feature when the device has any type of pin/knock code/pattern. It lets someone dial emergency numbers like 911 without knowing the code.

That's too funny that you actually took the time to explain what it is for and what it does ha ha captain obvious
But anyway, SO many phones don't have this, I don't want/need it.

Question can't turn off back to home screen animation in gesture navigation mode, help

I am a new s22 user, I have turned off all animations in the developer settings, all animations are turned off except when you swipe up from the bottom in any open app to go to the home screen, the app screen does a little animation and shrinks into the app icon. it's pretty annoying. it only happens in gesture navigation mode, if you change it to the button navigation bar, pressing the home screen button at the bottom shows no animation. does anyone else experience this? I did all sorts of searches online, but the results are not consistent, it feels like it's a problem related to the android 12 rather than Samsung and many pixel phones have the same issue.
If you want traditional virtual buttons, Galaxy store>Goodlock family of apps>Navstar
One Handed Operation plus is another Good Lock app that allows dozens of swipe gestures switches from the right/left sides. Very customizable and uses almost no battery.

All stock N10+ using the above options. Edge is also active and can be used in conjunction with One Handed Operation plus.
doesn't really answer my question though, do you have s22/android 12 phone? would you be able to confirm for me even all the animations are turned off in the developer setting, the back-to-home/minimize app gesture still shows annoying animation? thanks kindly to anyone who can confirm this for me (so that I know it's a system problem rather than a problem with my phone/software)

Yes this seems to be OS level. I get the same behavior on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7; both running Android 12. I use Microsoft Launcher on both, so it's not a OneUI (at least I don't think it is) feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. At least not without digging in to the OS.
