check these photos screen problems

got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos

Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.

i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange

To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?

Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.

is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..

try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

Ah I assumed that it was constantly like that. I assume factory resets have been tried

it seems a problem with the 'internet' browser, hopefully a software issue.uw

I was half tempted to get the One x because I thought they learned from the Sensation but guess not. This is the real problem of having your own skin, you break a perfectly good OS.

Try it with other browser. I believe it is the screen defect. Mine doesn't hv those glitches issues mentioned in the forum nor the yellow tint problem

Haven't noticed that myself over the 5 days I've had the phone.

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...

Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.

I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.

Touch Screen issues?

So has anyone found out if the touch screen issue is a software issue or a hardware? Is LG going to offer a fix or are they ignoring the issue? I have a Sprint LG G4 and the touch issues get quite annoying. I've been reading up on the issue and have tried everything but I still get miss touches.
I love the phone but hate this imperfection it has.
On a side not...when I get a text the phone vibrate (whatever vibrate setting I have it on) then it stops and my audible notification sounds. It does not happen simultaneously...is this normal?

More touch screen issue thread? Any reason why you couldn't post over at the many other thread?
You wanted your own special thread?

not really I just have not seen any in the sprint section so I was trying to see if any other sprint users have the problem...Ill I see is verison.

It might sound weird (as I also thought it was before I tried it) but the way I got mine to correct this issue was by doing a factory reset (just from the phone settings, not a KDZ or anything). Since doing it my phone has been MUCH more responsive and has not been lagging out or miss-touching or anything.

Factory reset solves all issues.

Factory reset didn't fix it for me
Tomorrow I'm going into the T-Mobile store to see if they have any G4's present that do not have the problem and hope they will swap, if so.

Sorry man, Really wish it would have worked for you (It seems to have worked for quite a few people on here). Hopefully they will let you pull the old switch-a-roo then since this is clearly a defect.

What touch screen issues are you having? You need to elaborate. A video would also help. I've had my Sprint G4 for about a month now and I don't know what these "touch screen issues" are that everyone is complaining about.

This problem occurs in all variants -

screen far too sensitive?

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.

Thank you. I will give that a try,
As it happens intermittently, i cant say how quick i will find out if that is the solution, but you have been helpful.

Does reset solve the issue? , happening on mine right now. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks

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.

Help! Ambient mode seems to freeze watch.

Have had the Huawei Watch for a few days and it seems to have a deal-breaking bug. Frequently, after the watch has been in ambient mode for a while, it won't come out of it. If I touch the screen, the ambient display gets brighter, but that's all. No response from swiping or button presses. Sometimes, after a very long pause (a minute or so) it'll come back to life, but usually I have to hold the button until it restarts. Anyone run into this before? Ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Using it with a Nexus 6. Android wear version 1.3.0.2176821.
Thanks!!!

Forgot to mention that the time sticks at whatever time it freezes and so it doesn't even tell the correct time. Sigh.
Have tried a factory reset. Didn't fix it.

Sounds like it's maybe in need of replacing. Like any new product release, there's bound to be a certain percentage of failures. Depending on how you look at it, you're either really lucky, or really unlucky

Well, just in case anyone else encounters this issue, I called Huawei tech support and described my issue. After a few minutes, they came back and said it was a known issue that effects some but not all watches. They said it would be corrected in a future software update but he was unable to tell me when that would be. So I could either wait for that update or send it back for an exchange. Since it happens frequently and renders the watch temporarily unusable, I opted to exchange it. They send an RMA label next day. The joys of new tech. Hope this helps someone else.

I have absolutely same issue. In ambient mode it freezes from the first day I bought this watch. Thank you for investigation and info.

got my hwatch and experienced the ambient mode freeze. to unfreeze, i enter and exit theater mode. it works. but now i'm never sure if the ambient time i'm glancing at is accurate or not...

Similar problem with an HTC M8. I'll try the theater mode to see if that helps. I still can't trust the time any more.

+1 on the Huawei Watch freeze. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes after several hours. It has frozen with ambient mode disabled and with wrist gestures disabled as well.

Two watches and no freezes here. Are you guys testing with no Wear apps installed and with a built-in Huawei face?

Yes, after factory reset with no additional apps and with original buil-in Huawei faces and used to freeze. I returned it to the shop, got new one and problem is fixed.

how are you sure that the problem is fixed as opposed to it not showing yet? the freeze seems to be random and i don't know of a way to replicate it on demand. thanks

thanks, good to know. i'm curious if your replacement watch has the red-tint issue. i wonder if the two are somehow related.

None of them had red-tint issue. It seems this is not related with the freezing ambient mode.

Thanks, that solve my problem as well.

Happening to me too. Was using 3rd party skymaster watch face.

Got a replacement from amazon and it hasn't froze yet in the past two days of using it. The last one froze several times a day

Question Touch Screen Problem!

hello everyone,
I just bought z fold 3 a few days ago,
after hours of working with I found that sometimes the touch screen(inner display) doesn't respond,
for example, some words don't type when I am typing quickly with the keyboard (just sometimes)
factory data reset didn't help.
has anyone run into the same problem? may be resolved with future updates?

Is it only happening to apps connected to the internet ie is it a connection issue?
The internet's been goofed up in some areas the last few days. Try toggling the airplane mode off/on.
Keep power management disabled for now.
Does it happen in safe mode?
Find the factory test settings for the touch display, test (and calibrate if needed/possible).
If you can't resolve it, return it. Otherwise eyeball every square inch of it like a hawk...

I tested the touchscreen with *#0*# and everything is fine.
just sometimes this problem occurs and I think this may be software problems...
have you z fold 3?

No. Basic troubleshooting.
Samsung will likely release firmware updates to correct this if enough devices are effected. It may be a 3rd party app causing this... try in safe mode. Disable animations for now and see what its got.
I stopped at the N10+/Android 10 and will likely stay in this holding pattern for at least 2 years.
I have two now and they run close to flawlessly.
Both Samsung and Android are having major issues, plus I require a SD card slot. Even issues on the N20U, which helped nix it from my list.
It may be a good year for Fold fans but otherwise both Android and Samsung have dropped the ball and are in a flat spin... in my opinion.

my problem is just like what you see in this youtube video in Time 12:15 and 12:49 . I must double try some times to click some things. this is very annoying on the keyboard and when you are typing quickly.

If stateside you can go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience store. They can do advanced testing on it... allegedly.
I would get it resolved soon or return it for a complete refund.

I tested the touch screen with "touch screen test" Application and uploaded a video on youtube, you can see here.

It looks fine to me... do you mean latency time?
What are power settings at? Try bumping it up to maximum performance.
Check ram usage.

Is there anyone here with z fold 3 and the same problem?!!!

I only face this problem when I touch the edge of the display with my palm.

I tried to replicate the issue. I downloaded the same app on my Fold 3. I tried for few minutes.
On my device every click is registered. No missing dots.

I have the exact same issue. I addressed it by increasing the screen sensitivity.

Hey, I just noticed it today as well. When I try to type text faster, sometimes I need to double click on letters. I think this problem came with the latest update, because I havent had that problem before. It is frustrating.
I tried to turn on sensitivity option in settings and I will reply here after day or two testing.
seems to be a bit better with that option turned on
