On the lock screen, in menus and in apps, peek and dynamic perspective are not working. Tried a factory reset but nothing has fixed it!
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
EDIT: Dynamic perspective works on my lock screen if I don't touch the phone for a while, then agree 3 seconds it shuts off again and the picture goes back to the centre and is immovable again. Peak has worked for 1 second all day. Only received the phone today!
Anyone?
Have you checked if Dynamic Perspective is activated on Settings? It's on the Screen menu inside Settings. Or, if you are still in the country you bought it at, you should just ask for a swap (or refund, depending on how much you like the phone).
I have the same problem
I suspect it started happening after 4.6.5 update. I got on mayday today, and the tech advisor could not suggest anything, so they logged a ticket and said will get back to me.
I did notice that it momentarily works sometimes (for eg if I enter and exit the amazon shopping app). But then it stops working. In Monkey buddy, the monkey does not show up on the screen at all.
Same Problem, DP Stopped Working
I started having the same problem, right after the one year warranty on my phone ran out. My phone had not been dropped and was not splashed or submerged in any liquid. Were you ever able to get it fixed? Had you recently side loaded Google Play Services?

I applied the OTA update and every time an app tries to use GPS my phone restarts. The GPS icon blinks about 3 times then the phone turns off. I disabled GPS and still have 'find by WiFi' on and Google Maps gets pretty close. I also did a master reset and formatted my SD card. Last ditch effort I updated my PRL and profile. No dice.
Other thoughts: Amazing phone and I want 2.2.

I believe (using the GPS for 2 days with no crash) I was able to fix it by going into the bootloader [power button and volume down] and selecting "clear storage". My guess is that doing a master reset from withing the phone didn't clear everything.
Exchange your phone
I have had the same problem. A week ago monday after Sprint pushed OTA update phone worked even better than when I first purchased. For two days that was, I recieved a gmail, opened through notifications and from that moment on my phone has become a nice musical lit-up papper weight. I had a Hero before and NEVER had a crash or reboot. My Touch Pro was another story. I have done now 3 hard resets. After number two I only installed updates to Sprints bloatware(sprint nav) and google branded apps. Two days later I recieved a google-talk message and uppon opening it, it all started over again. I can reproduce this rebooting by launching any gps software with gps set to on. Sprint nav not only causes reboot but wipes credentials that you enter when you first launch app. I can launch gps programs if the GPS settings are ALL turned off(both switches). Of course I have to log into Sprint Nav again after every crash. I thought this was fixed after my last hard reset, I have not downloaded anything (no root)or installed any apps since my last reset. I just got past my 30 day but I am going to RAISE HELL later today, obvously this is unacceptable in a new phone(flagship), SPRINT and HTC were notified last week. They did take notes but they are going to try to get me to submit a claim rather than exchange. Neither Sprint or HTC seem to know shi* about this rebooting issue. Obvousily nobody checks sprint user forums. I urge anyone with crashing/rebooting to take back for exchange. Do not waste time trying to fix yourself. I fixed myself 3 times only for the random rebooting to come back within 48 hours. No 3rd party apps other than Sprint(I was afraid to download anymore). I won't even talk about the screen splitting from the base of the phone, I doubt they know anything about this issue either. So my state-of-the-art smartphone is now a 4g less, crappy 3g service, non functional gps, musical (splash screen) papperweight. This was the only phone that I have waited very impatient for and this whole experience has left a VERY bad taste in my mouth. They even screwed the launch of this device. Best Buy and Radio Shack were the only ones taking preorders and Sprint screwed the activation and provisioning up the day of launch as well. I wish I could hate this phone, I would terminate service with Sprint after this experience.
im runing OMJ 1.6 which inclues lastest OTA and and last night i opened maps it asked me to turn on gps and when i did i had constant force closes had to take the battery out to make it stop, couldnt do anything because everytime i did force close it reloaded the system but force close again.
I have had this issue since I got my phone June 5, anything that requires the gps shuts down the phone. I have been waiting for a replacement phone from Radioshack for 3 weeks. I have tried resets, updates with no luck. A local Sprint tech looked at it and told me he thought it was a hardware problem with my phone.
UPDATE
This morn I took to a Sprint repair center. After looking at the device she said that there was water damage and that the stickers had turned red. She also said she found the GPS reciever loose and soldered it back. Funny thing is is that me EVO has never been dropped or near water except for the spray that was used for my invisasheild. I was extremely careful about the aplication, in fact I screwed up because the first application wasn't wet enough. Also I have a PRO2 and Hero as well and as you prob know the batteries are interchangeable. As a result I am constantly swapping batteries because my EVO loves to kill batteries pretty quickly. I think I wold have caught the stickers turning. Also with all the problems I know I have looked to see if there was water damage. Of coure she never produced the stickers and they have now been removed. As I right this right now I am waiting for my EVO to reboot again. NOW I HAVE NO SOUND AND HAD TO HARD RESET MY PHONE! Oh and the repair person said I had too many Apps as well. I brought the phone in this morning with its default settings and apps. If there are too many apps than thats your fault not mine. I am soooo pissed about this whole experience, it's got to the point that I am actualy starting to laugh because Sprint seems so incompetent.
This afternoon I was showing my phone to a client and I launched the normal GPS apps, Google maps, Navigation, GPS Status and CarLocator. As soon as I enabled geotagging on my phone crashed/rebooted. To fix it I went to the bootloder and cleared the storage so that everything would go to stock settings. So far I haven't had a crash yet. I can handle not having geotagging as long as everything else works. Though it is a great feature to have .
Now my phone restarts even though geotagging is off. Anyone know of I can reflash my Evo though the HTC rom manager on a computer? I think putting the default rom would narrow it down to hardware or software.
I did hard-reset on Friday morning and installed all of my apps and then some, but did not install wheatherbug elite which worked fine on my Hero and worked fine on EVO for three weeks prior to Sprints OTA. So far so good,wil post results in fuure. No reboots so far and its been over 38 hours. I read on another forum that WB does not release GPS even after uninstall. Will post results in a day or two.If this is the fix by sprint/htc than give me back my phone with no updates!
???????
Ok, right after I posted my last post I recieved a phone call, durring wich the battery died. I replaced battery with a fresh one, powered on, launched sprint nav, and it rebooted. **** so much for the weatherbug idea..... After reboot I launched google maps, again reboot. I have not installed any apps since noon friday. I have played around non stop with ALL the apps and settings and have not changed anything since friday afternoon. Its 1:15 Sunday morning and nothing has changed on my phone for around 36 hours! Is this a software problem or hardware problem? Software problem means I will wait untll sprint fixes their update wich seems to me caused all this or is it a hardware issue that I need to figure some way to replace even though no EVO's can be found?
Spoke to HTC this morn, htc says that this is a known issue affecting some of their customers and that the carrier (Sprint) should have replaced it already. Even though I bought at Radio Shack. Because sprint has acted so unbelievably incompetent HTC is going to send a new unit in 4-5 days. So anyone having GPS problems and did the OTA should have their phone replaced. Those are not my words but HTC's. Also she explained that my first call for help should be HTC not Sprint. She claims she could trouble shoot better than Sprint. Also advised that Sprint tecs are worthless. I could have told her that.
Evo reboot fixed
-------SOLUTION FOUND-----------EVO REBOOT---------------GPS REBOOT-----------
Step one, call Sprint and get your msl code (unlock code).
Step two open the phone dialer and press “##GPSCLRX#
Step three input the code given to you from sprint (phone will reboot in 20 seconds)
Then launch your GPS programs and you will notice they work (at least for moment)
I will keep my codes on hand for the more than likely event that after 24 hours of use it probably will reoccur all over again.
I am on my second EVO now and I have painstaking already gone through all the hard resets and troubleshooting apps. Repair store and service calls to both Sprint and HTC as well. This is the first time I have gotten the phone to work after the GPS reboots without a hard reset.

I'm very keen on buying this phone tomorrow and was in the ATT corporate store and found a very strange issue on the live display unit. Everytime I opened any app and hit the home button it would take about 5~7 seconds before showing the home screen. I tried playing with the settings but it did not help. I also restarted the phone but the issue still persisted. I new to android platform (coming from iPhone) and looked at the setting (related to personalize). After talking to the ATT rep he mentioned that few folks have also complained about it but was not sure why this happens. He then suggested that they will return this unit so battery can be replaced or we can reset the phone to factory settings. I took his permission and attempted the reset After reboot the phone worked normally with absolutely no lag.
Q1. Is this a known issue? Are folks with this phone experiencing this after a extended time of use. Does anybody know what this lag might be due? Any specific wallpaper causes this lag. I tried changing wallpaper but it did not help
I really want to get this phone but if the above issue is rampant then I want to hold off buying it tomorrow.
BTW: I tried buying it today at target (mobile store managed by radio shack) they were ready to sell and went thru the upgrade process but just before the last screen it blocked them from selling (radio shack corporate policy) cannot sell the phone today but will sell it tomorrow.
Settings -> Developer options -> Don't keep activities.
Some people have had to switch it on, come out of options, go back and switch it off. (the tick was incorrectly cleared, whilst the option was on)
thanks
Thank u for your feedback. Can u elaborate on what caused it? Sorry from your feedback I could not figure out the cause.
From what you described (7 second delay coming back to sense) it's not a lag (or sense crashing as some have described it). It's sense reloading.
The Android UI is based on activities, they stack, and the history is typically kept, until Android decides to kill an activity, usually due to low memory available. If activities are not kept, they have to reload from scratch.
Since Android can take away a previous activity at any stage, the developer must save its state when transitioning to a new activity. By not keeping activities, it's easier to test that each activity is correctly saving its state.
Hello,
The screen of my moto 360 goes randomly off and vibrates at that moment, just like when you dim the screen with your hand., but now I'm using it. It's very frustrating because I can't even open an app normally or the screen goed of and I need to start over again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Having same issues with mine.
Really strange and really annoying. Its like when u cover it with palm. It vibrates and screen goes off but ur in the middle of trying to do something. Anyone else having this problem?
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue, just got my Moto 360 today. I'll be in the Settings or other parts of the watch and it will just randomly turn off. It is really frustrating to deal with.
I have the same issue. I have pretty hairy arms so I wonder if the hairs are somehow triggering the capacitive touch screen.
you guys try to do a reset on the watch yet?? not just a reboot..
Any updates on this? I'm having the same issue
Any updates? I have the same issue I think it happend after udate to 5.0.2 but I'm not sure.
I'm also having the same problem. I picked up a new Moto 360 during the BBY sale rush of the last couple of days. At first it was buggy but the screen seemed to stay on while working with it. Then it had a system update, and since then most bug issues (like the faces not updating with the companion app changes) went away, however from that point the screen constantly shuts off, usually with a little buzz, while I'm interacting with the watch.
For instance, regarding the sensor used to turn off the watch if you palm it. I thought maybe that was it, so I was looking for a way to turn that off. I went into settings, and spend about 10 times of the screen shutting off before I could get to "accessibility settings" just to see if that might be there.
This problem occurs whether I'm wearing the watch or not (trying to eliminate arm hair or similar), and has occurred after a factory reset and re-pair with my phone (Note 4). Ambient sensor settings don't help, because all that does is make the screen go dark instead of off, but it still reverts back to the clock no matter what I was doing.
Any ideas? Any way to turn off a sensor perhaps, maybe in a custom ROM? Since this seems to be associated with an update near as I can tell, I wonder if a fix is coming from Moto or if it's too rare of an issue to be on their radar.
As an update, I replaced the watch with a new one, and this new watch is perfect. It started on outdated software which I left on for a bit to make sure it didn't show the problem, then I updated. Still no issues. I think there is a chance the problem is software regardless, but either way it must be a small portion of watches and isn't necessarily tied to any particular outside software influence (phone model or android version, or installed apps as NONE of those things changed). My advice to people reading this thread is to exchange the watch or get an RMA if possible.
Same Issue
Hi All,
I have the same issue. Sent it back for repair so let's see...
Same issue here as well
Hi guys I have a problem with the touch response on my G4 (H815)
Basically when I use multi touch (and sometimes just normal scrolling) in certain apps the phone will recognize screen taps at the bottom of the screen at the home and back buttons and sometimes other areas, I have used the 'multi touch app' from the play store to confirm that this is indeed the case. This is extremely annoying as apps exit by themselves because of this. It doesn't happen every single time either, just sometimes but often enough for it to be annoying and so may be hard to prove to my carrier or LG if i send it back cause they may say there's nothing wrong with it.
It seems like a hardware issue and in that case the phone should still be under warranty right? I got it in August and haven't rooted or done anything invasive.
There are many people having issues with the G4 touchscreen. Check with your carrier and see if you can exchange it or what your options are.
Hi,
Same problem for me, the back and home button seems possessed. Se this video dropbox.com/s/540ozmvdnhemv8f/MOV_0005.mp4?dl=0 for an example. I bought the phone Thursday last week and it have been this pretty much since unboxing. After a factory reset the phone acts normal for a couple of minutes or hours, but goes back to that stage were I can't use the phone at all. I've managed to update to the latest software but the problem didn't go away. I'll try to contact the supplier I bought the phone from and exchange it tomorrow.
Since I do not have enough posts to post external links you have to figure out for youself what to type infront of the "link" I included.
My 1 month old Pixel 6 Pro suddenly began to display screen flashing and flickering.
It starts a few seconds after the phone is unlocked or about a minute after the phone is turned on. If you leave the screen alone, so no touching, everything is normal. But once this issue appears, it won't go away until you turn off the phone or lock the screen.

Any ideas if this could be SW related or it is for sure a HW defect? Thanks!
Seller said they managed to fix it by factory resetting the phone and installing updates. Which I find weird since I did this multiple times before sending it back. Google seems to agree with seller.
I guess I just have to wait to get it back and hope for the best, but this in no way seems a SW issue to me.
But is it even possible that software could cause such issues?
I'm also starting to have this issue on the right side of my Pixel 7 Pro. It's not a severe as the video above but it's still noticeable

I expect to get my phone back this week or early next week. I will let you know if they really solved the issue and so if it really was a SW glitch as they said.
Got it back today with the issue "solved" but...it's still there, just manifesting in a slightly different way.

Phone is now back from Google assistance and the problem is solved. I don't know what they did but I suspect the screen was replaced in warranty since it had the protective foil on.
I forgot to update my story but, I made a claim to Google and went to a UBreakiFix store and got it checked out the same day. They replaced the screen for free and that fixed the issue.

Thanks, my phone suddenly had this issue while I was sitting on the couch and turned my screen on during a call.

This problem started on my phone several months ago and hasn't gone away.
Apparently when the p6p was released it was a fairly common occurrence - solved by software.
I tested various screen setups and found a way to use my phone ; I can't set the screen resolution over 51% , turn off Adaptive brightness, turn on Dark theme. Smooth display doesn't seem to have any bearing and if the phone is cold it is more prone to flickering.
Once it starts to flicker I use the slider to bring the level to its lowest and back to about 45%. Pita but workable (can't return phone for a screen replacement).
Managed to eliminate the flickering by installing magisk module AOSP Mods
(changed screen brightness in Miscellaneous/Screen resolution - set the slider to 50%) . Back to full brightness with no flicker.
