Phone has multiple problems. Should I keep it? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently just got this phone repaired from LG.
Lately the knockon feature bearly works when screen is off
And
When you power off the screen, the screen randomly turns on.
Would you guys keep the phone with these little problems?

That barely qualifies as multiple problems or even problems, just turn it off or on with the power button, just like almost all other phones, the Knock-on feature is on very few phones.
I on the other hand have issues with the camera not turning on and now the flashlight too, don't know if you will get those or not, but you might, so maybe don't keep it, i certainly won't be buying from LG again.

I don't have that problem. That's rather odd, I've never heard of that happening. Maybe you got some debris under the button and that's adding pressure to the sensor, and that pressure makes it nearly activated and only needs a small additional amount of pressure to fully activate it? That's the only reason I can think of lol.

I have heard of a few ppl who had similar issues, not very many shouldnt be a prob i would check it like the other guy said tho, i think it was a similar post also. I personally pretty much always have a case on unless im not working. So im thinking thats helped me, ive had mine since may and no probs with that

I have been having the same problem. The button will still "click" but it will turn on well before it clicks. It will turn on by just resing my finger on part of it. I was wondering if there is anything I can do short of permantly voiding my warranty by taking it apart and replacing the power button. This only started happening after I think I dropped my phone on the power button with a case on. I still have one replacement left with Verizon but that would require turning s-on and returning my phone to stock. I also want to keep my amoled screen. Does anyone have any insight in this matter?

[Q] Problems with new A100

I just purchased an A100 and was wondering if anyone else has the same problems I am having. Also any ideas would be appreciated.
I can't wake the tablet when it goes to standby> I press the power button and nothing happens. If I hold the power button long enough it will reboot. The other issue is with the wifi. At home it works ok, but at work it is another matter. It sees and can connect to the router just fine. When I try to go to the internet it tells me that there is no internet connection. I noticed that there was a little arrow in the wifi icon when this happens. I tried a reset to factory defaults, but no go. The sleep problem is unchanged, and now it will not connect to the work router at all.

I had the sleep problem wen I first got it but now its gone. But never had wifi issues. Just exchange for a new one.
I have the same standby problem. On top of that I noticed that there are some glitches.
When the unit is fully off and I try to turn it on by pressing the power button down for a couple seconds the blue light turns on but no vibration and nothing shows on the screen. I have hold the power button down til the blue light turns off then press it again and hold it down until it vibrates and thats when it turns on. I also tried grabbing the stock rom (made sure it was decrypted and put on both the root of the internal and external sd) and tried to recover it but all I get is a android exclamation mark no matter what I do.
Sometimes you just need to give it sometime to wake up... Because if you press the power button multiple times, it would not be responsive!

How long? Does your screen stay black while you are waiting?
yes. If it is unresponsive when pushing the power button (but you know the device is on), just wait for 30 seconds and try pushing the power button again.
On mine after i hit the power button the screen wont turn on for good 3 seconds. If I press the power again before that 3 seconds I essentially turn it back off so the screen never turns on. Till I press it again and wait 3 seconds for it to visually turn on.
Well, I took it back for an exchage and Microcenter was out of stock. I got a refund and headed over to Best Buy. Not much luck there, they are sold out in all stores, and online.
Have you tried fry's.com or gamestop.com?

I tried the Kindle Fire, and I did not care for it. The screen did not always respond to touches and I do not like the carousel. I also did like the lack of buttons on it, and it was heavy compared to other 7" tablets. I took it back and started looking for another tablet. I found the A100 in Walmart today and bought it. This one works a lot better than the first one, it wakes up from standby just fine. These Acer tabs(A100 and A500) are selling out everywhere it seems. I think they are priced right and are a very good value.

Battery Indicator gets stuck...
Does anyone else have a problem with the Battery Indicator freezing while charging. It happens every time I plug in. Earlier today I plugged in at 11% an hour later the battery indicator (both on the lock screen and the settings popup) said 11%. As soon as I unplugged it changed to 76%. When I plugged in an let it charge again it stuck at 76%.
Anyone else have this issue? Any idea how to fix it?
The only things I changed system wise is: I froze Acer Content Folders, Acer Registration, AUPEO!, clear.fi, Facebook Web, and MusicA. And thats it!
I am having the same issue with my a100 not waking up. I sent it to Acer and they reloaded android, but the issue still exists...even after a factory reset with no apps installed other than stock.
The battery life was utter crap when I got this...but after 4 charge cycles...its much better.

Im not having the wake up issue but I am having a wifi issue. Wifi kinda works some of the time. The problem is it just cant stay connected for very long. It really sucks especially when im downloading a big file. Ivw tried wifi lock but it still loses signal. I usually just use the acer when im in my bedroom and our router is about 15 feet away. its very frustrating but dont know what else to do. also i cant believe how bad the battery life is! its not to big of a problem since i dont plan on taking it out of the house but man, why would acer make the battery smaller than most new cellphones?

White static screen

I purchased the LG G4 from best buy about a month ago. My problem is that a quarter, half, or sometimes all of my screen will glitch out to white static. Sometimes it fixes itself, and sometimes it turns the display off. Sometimes when I turn the display on the glitching goes away for a while, and sometimes it just keeps glitching. It seems to happen especially while under load. It can happen on any screen though, including the home screen. After doing a little research I found some people recommending to enable developer options and Disable HW Overlays. This seems to have helped the problem, as with HW Overlays disabled the white static happens far less frequently. It dosent completely solve the problem though.
My question is if this is hardware or software realated. If the phone is running better with HW Overlays disabled, is it simply bypassing a piece of hardware that is causing the problem? My understanding is that it is forcing the GPU instead of the CPU to render the screen. I know very little about mobile phones though so any help would be much appreciated.
If someone could give some insight into what might be causing the static, and whether or not my phone is actually defective or if its some bad software, it would be greatly appreciated.
Something similar has happened to my screen, thought the problem only starts when I'm using Reddit sync. Basically the screen just gets really white for about a second and then fades back to normal. There was another thread about this issue but no solutions.

Well today my phone glitched out completely and wouldnt turn back on. I had to remove the battery and put it back in to reset it. I still dont know if its a hardware or software issue, but at this point it dosent really matter. Its going back to either verizon or lg. I hadnt bought a lg product in years because I have had similiar experiences with their products as far as quality control. I figured id give them another chance this time. Its a shame they wasted it. To anyone who reads this, id recommend to at least exchanging this phone out for a replacement if possible, and would probably recommend a different model completely. Its a really nice phone when its working, but this particular problem is actually getting worse as time progresses.

Knock On Not working properly

Hi, everyone. So I have an LG G4 for more than a year now and I am very pleased with its performance. I did have an issue with sometimes the audio is stuck after a call but I think it more has to do with bad reception as I noticed so its rare this days. However, lately something happened with the knock on feature which I cannot figure out at all. Sometimes it just doesn't work. I tap and nothing happens. The power on button is working perfectly but the knock on is unresponsive. I fiddled with the proximity sensor but it's not it. Sometimes it just stops working for 5-6 times and then it works and the again it doesn't. There is no pattern. When it's powering on the feature works with no hiccups but after that it's like the cpu forgets to monitor the process. I don't know. I have tried calibration and it works with no problem for a few minutes and then it goes back again to this stutter. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am thinking factory reset but the hassle would be pointless if the problem persists and I am in no mood to install all those apps I have from the beginning for no reason. Any hep will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same issue but mine Knock on is a bit delaying.. for an example, I double tap on the screen and it gives response in 3-4 mins or not... I am suspecting from screen protector which has been mounted for almost a year, it could be corrupted(scratch) Give a try on removing the screen protector(if you have any)
It's a hardware problem. Many threads online about it

Is your case or temp glass protect over prox sensor. That can affect it bad. Also scratches on glass over prox sensor. If not. Then more than likely hardware related.
No the screen protector does not cover the prox sensor. It's cut out as it should be. I am starting to think it's a hardware problem. The thing is why now?!

They are mostly sensors just like on a car. Sometimes it's just there time. Electrical components fail all the time. Are u rooted. Modified anything recently?

No. I haven't touched it at all yet. I am pretty satisfied with the performance so I left it alone. The only thing worth mentioning is that I overheated taking a lot of pictures during an event. Maybe this did a number on it!
I have been discussing the issue with a technican today. It is a hardware issue, you cannot fix it. Apparently, the proximity sensor dies after ~2 years - at least somewhat. Why somewhat?
Check this out: You can check the status of your sensor using MINIOS, type *#546368#*815# (n.b. - swap 815 for your model number).
Now click device test - MT - ok - Individual Item - Sensor test - WAIT!
The proximity sensor will run a test and likely come up with a figure between 60~90. The actual value should be 220+.
Meaning: Your phone thinks it´s ~6-9 cm away from your face, that is not enough to trigger knock-on but it´s far enough to be triggered using the backside button.
My knock on doesn't work, but knock off does. Not a major issue, just annoying!

Sudden phone screen issue

Hello,
I've had my A70 for almost 8 months now, it's been great and I never had any issues with it, no root, no ROMS, nothing out of ordinary. While I was using it yesterday night, the screen suddenly turned off, I was surprised because the battery was almost full, so I thought maybe I pressed on the power button by mistake, so I pressed it once again, only to keep looking at my reflection on the screen, I tried force rebooting the phone, no luck, OK google works, Face recognition also works normally, everything is working, but I can't see anything on the screen, I thought that it might be a screen issue, but I don't think it is anymore, because sometimes when I hold it in certain ways, the screen works but with apparent noise/flicker, or shows incorrect colors, I'd like to show you but sadly I don't own any other phone. Could it be a connector issue that can be fixed easily? and if anyone is in Germany, any idea how much a fix could cost?
Thank you.

I had an issue with the screen a while back and went to a Samsung service. They replaced the screen along with the battery under warranty.
