Hello everybody, I just received my g4 yesterday so I had it now for 24hrs and sometimes soft /light touches does not register and I find myself touching the same icon again to make it work .
Coming from Galaxy S6 it seems the G4 sometimes skip a touch or two.
Is that normal? Did anyone else noticed the same ?
Can this be corrected by software updates or is it something wrong with my G4?
Press harder?

Obviously this is the solution but comparing to GS6 and HTC m8 this was never an issue so I am sharing my experience with LG G4 to compare and to find out if this is isolated case or mass issue !
The G4 does not run on super amoled, obviously. The review units seem to have the same 'issue' when compared with other phones. It's the type of screen.

Appreciate your feedback
I just picked up my G4 today and am noticing the same thing. My Note 4 had a setting where you could turn up sensitivity, I have yet to find it on this phone
Give this app a try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.shop4apps.touchscreenbooster.com&hl=en I installed it and set it to Super Optimized and it seems to be making the sensitivity a little better. I am coming from the S6 so it was driving me crazy with all the missed registrations.
I'm finding it to be the opposite. While scrolling through my app drawer I end up starting up an app

I'm having the same issue, however I am running a Mime tempered glass screen protector. My cousin has also reported the same issue where it is missing taps, he's running a Zagg tempered glass screen protector.
To those with the issue are you also running a tempered glass protector?
I have a tempered glass screen protector. I did use the phone for a day or so before I started using the protector. The outcome has been the same for me either way. 90~95 out of 100 taps and swipes are registered properly but the 5 to 10% missed taps are starting to get really annoying for me. Most of the time I won't notice or care in a non gaming scenario though.
I have used the app posted above and it doesn't seem to really make a difference for me. Very frustrating because everything else about the phone has been great (battery, camera, screen, sound, etc). Debating if it's worth rolling the dice on a new phone.. We are in 2015 and this shouldn't be happening, last time I had a phone that missed taps was like 2011.
I was having a similar touch issue. But I fixed mine--or resolved it. I discovered it while scrolling through the reddit Sync app. I would have to press links twice because it wouldn't register the first time. Then for some reason, I discovered the issue:
IF the screen is moving (as in still scrolling from a swipe) ANY AMOUNT at all, the first touch does not open the intended link/target. Even if the screen scroll has slowed to an absolute crawl, but isn't COMPLETELY stopped, the first touch only 'stops' the screen. If I wait to touch until the screen has come to a complete stop, it works every time. Maybe my previous phones didn't have as tight of a tolerance on how much the screen can be moving before registering touches.
Other than that, the screen may be slightly less sensitive than other phones.
Not sure if this is the same touch issue you're having, but I hope this helps someone.
I came from a Galaxy S3 and have the same issue. It's driving me crazy!
Just to add to the topic I've come from a Nexus 6 and I'm experiencing the same issue. Definitely missed taps.

I am assuming the N6 does not have touch issues like this... I am going to be jumping to it from the G4, I think this is just an unacceptable phone. How is the size / handling of the N6 compared to the G4? That's my only concern...

Honestly I've had every Nexus device and the Nexus 6 I wasn't the biggest fan. It had none of the touch screen issues but the camera was not on the same level and in my experience neither was the battery life.
I also much prefer the size of the G4 and I'm not a fan of AMOLED screens I can't stand the black ghosting that occurs on them.
I've already contacted the Three store here in the UK where I got my G4 and they are happy to exchange but honestly I won't be switching from the G4. We just need more people like on here to make themselves heard and hopefully LG come up with a fix or it comes down to a bad batch.
That's not to say the Nexus 6 is a bad phone but if they can fix the touch screen issues on the G4 there really is no comparison in my opinion.
This was brought up by someone else, but for those that feel the touch sensitivity / registration is not workigng so well, do any of you have a screen protector? Whether it is Tempered Glass or a Protective Film it could be inteffiring with the display?
Also, if you are having problems and have something on your screen for protection, what type of protection is it and what brand? Just figure it is worth a shot asking and seeing if there is a pattern.

I'm using a CaseBase Tempered Glass Protector but my other half is rocking a naked G4 and the issues are still present. I actually already have another Protector on the way from a different manufacture because I initially thought that it could be the problem.
Then I began reading on here and Reddit and discovered we are not the only ones with the issue.

No screen protector for me.
No screen protector here either... it's just super frustrating to have a flagship phone perform this poorly.

I'm actually experiencing both the issue in the OP and the issue you're having where I try to swipe to scroll but it ends up tapping instead, though they happen at different times. There seems to be something wrong with these touchscreens since it seems to be a common problem.
I think I need some help, running stock just factory reseted phone but problem still there.
When making a call screen goes blank and I can't turn it on after that, can't hang up, can't do anything.
Is there any1 else experiencing this bug?
Maybe your sensor on the front is jacked up?
Nop had it tested in other app.

Try to factory reset it again, or you could investigate if any app you have is causing it.
Hahahahahahahahahahahhah GOT IT.
YOU GUYS WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT WAS!!!!!!
It's my new tempered glass screen protector..removed it and now works perfect...
Haha, learned something new

Because I recently purchased one from Xtremeguard and it's currently being delivered to me. I sent an email to them and they claim that the tempered glass does not block the proximity sensor. I've read on another forum that this specific brand provided similar problems to what you experienced.
and also the missed touches on screen gets worse with tempered glass
nillkin tempered glass here without any issues. Can you post up a picture of your screen protector? Maybe the cutouts are different. I also had no idea on the screen protector that was installed by LG (which in different markets may have logos, but mine was clear, even had a tab to remove it, but left it on until I got my tempered glass one)
It's the sensor, not the protector

I have the same problem with my LG V10. I have NOTHING blocking the sensor. I just discovered that light level alone will cause the black screen.
I tried calling with a bright light overhead. No black screen.
I caused a shadow over the sensor (NOT blocking it, just a shadow). The screen went black. The same thing happened when I was in the T-Mobile store, with no block and no shadow.
Guys, I had the exact problem. And you DO NOT have to remove your protector, you just need to recalibrate the sensor. There is a tutorial, use the Search.
Did anyone manage to do this with Verizon?

thanks without screen protector working fine
Hi,
Because I just got a pair of polarized sunglasses, I have discovered that the display on my RN5 Pro seems to be polarized. While this sounds good, the practical effect is that if I hold my phone vertically while wearing my sunglasses, I can't see the screen at all. I can only see it if I hold the phone horizontally.
Is this something that is physically part of the display? Is there any option to change/rotate or turn off the polarization? Any ideas?
Thanks!

I noticed the same thing and was not pleased. I have no idea how the physics works but after putting on a glass screen protector it works just fine...

Thank you!
And now you can see the screen with polarised sun glasses?
Amazing!
Ho, I was about to ask a similar question, that a coincidence
The fact is, the redmi note 5 ha a polarized filter (like all LCD panels) oriented at 90° from the one of other smartphone I had (nexus 5X, Redmi note 4, etc.). As per consequence I can't see anything in portait mode but it's all clear in landscape, witch is terrible for car use.
If a screen protector can mitigate this issue, it worth the try

Hi All,
I put a cheap glass screen protector (a dollar or two from ebay) on the phone, and the problem disappeared. It would be interesting to learn the physics behind it, but practically, all you have to know is put any kind of glass screen protector on and the issue goes away. And you keep the phone looking good. So bonus.
Thanks for the discussion, everyone.

Today I put glass protector (cheap) but the problem did NOT disapper. This is very frustrating for me. Maybe I must search to another kind?

Do you have the same @ulsa phone? And do you have purchased the same screen protector full body from here: https://www.honorbuy.com/1361-full-...-redmi-note-5-global-versionredmi-note-5.html ?

Exactly the one I ordered. You can see my result in the picture.
Edit: I have stopped using the protector, mainly because it would get smudged very easily.

Yeah it worked good for polarized problem. Maybe this full body protector use a different glass than this i.e.: https://www.amazon.it/Ferilinso-Xia...749688&sr=8-1&keywords=pocophone+screen+glass

But we need to know which @Misho2bg has purchased
I have discovered that my redmi note 5 is polarized vertically, while another redmi note 5 i bought for my girlfriend, is polarized horizontally. Strange
Does anyone have a glass screen protector installed and know if it affects the speaker quality? Also, since the proximity sensor is underneath the screen I'm also questioning the functionality if there is no cutout for it in the screen protector itself. Please comment, test if you already have the phone and have a screen protector, glass or otherwise.

Hi,
I do use the OMOTON glass screen protector from Amazon, currently out of stock however.
It doesn't have any cutout or punch hole and I'm perfectly happy with it. No degradation on sound and selfie picture quality as far as I can tell.

Does it interfere with the proximity sensor? Does the screen turn off when you place the phone to your ear when on a call?

Ive got the OMOTON but find that the touch sensitivity is a bit hit and miss. How are you finding it ? I purchased from Amazon as well.

Proximity sensor is working correctly as far as I can tell. As I put the protector on directly after receiving the phone I didn't exactly run a before / after test but don't have any issues with it.

Here again can't say I encounter any issues. I do sometimes miss the "back" gesture swiping from the right border to the middle; might be due to the combination of the Google case + screen protector (or due to the protector or just me) but overall it's ok.
Just tested with my Brotect Liquid Glass protector, no issues with the proximity sensor, and the speaker has been fine.
Thanks, just purchased the OMOTON on Amazon.
Okay, so recently I decided to put a screen cover on my OP 9 Pro and I cannot use the fingerprint. Did anybody else had this issue with the fingerprint?
Also I'm running Android 13 on my device.

Yeah, I did with a protector from Ebay. I bought one from T-Mobile when I got the phone, it worked fine, but when they put it on, they ended up leaving a fingerprint on the underside of protector which was very annoying. The glass protector from TMO for the OP9P does work. It has a special clear area where the fingerprint icon area is. Hope this helps.
I'm using this case from Amazon. Works awesome with finger print and wireless charging, best made case I've found to date.
