I got my G3 about a week ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it, however in the last couple of days I've been having a recurring intermittent issue with the touchscreen.
Essentially what's been happening is when the phone's gotten a bit warm the touchscreen stops registering long presses or swipes properly, and adds random break points in the swipe, this is especially annoying when trying to use the continuous input on the keyboard or add widgets.
Obviously the phone's still under warranty, so I'll return it if need be, but I was wondering if anyone else was having this issues or had any theories.
Thanks for your time.
the lg g3 is on top 3 list this fall and I did read about some of the heating problems
but based on your comments and the fact it is under warranty, I would replace it at your earliest convenience--:good:
I have to admit I have had nearly the same issue. My phone has been perfect everywhere except when it gets hot from a highly demanding game (demanding in the CPU Heat generation sense, games as simple as Angry Birds Epic cause it to get hot) and once it does, it gets to a point the touchscreen become much more erratic and less consistent on detecting taps, swipes, and holds. This digs badly into games since everything has onscreen controls and when the touchscreen looses its ability to detect touches, then all bets are off until the device cools down a bit.
It is not overly hot or uncomfortable to hold. The phone feels rather warm but otherwise everything looks and runs fine, just the touch input goes to crap for a few seconds then comes back. Has anyone else experienced this under a heavy load?
Have you resolved your issue?

I've been having a similar issue with my LG G3. I'm very pleased with the phone's overall performance but it has this touchscreen issue that's really affecting how I can use it. It has a great proc and gaming capabilities but I can't play some games because I can't rely upon the screen to register presses every time.
Have you been able to solve your issue? If so, what did you do?
Hi
I am trying to get my old Xperia Play working again. I had no issues during the two years when it was my main phone, but I since have got the HTC One, and let the wife use the Xperia as her second phone. As far as i can tell, the rings on her fingers have damaged the screen. It does not respond to about 90% of commands, but there are some areas on the screen that still work. Typing is a nightmare, you have to turn the phone 90 and 180 degrees for certain letters to work, and some don't work at all...
I am pretty sure that a new screen would fix it, but somebody I work with said that even a new screen would not fix this issue as it's an old phone that relies on pressure on the screen to work.
Please can anyone advise what parts I would need to repair it. I am happy to do it myself, but don't know if it's a lost cause?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Xperia play screen is not pressure based. I don't like this kind of people that think they know best. I actually think that you actually can replace a pressure based (capacitive I think?) screen btw.
Anyway, all you need to replace is most probably just a digitizer. It's not that expensive and the repair is not that hard to do.
Here's a replacement guide that I used mainly because it's high resolution and you can actually see which screw originally was, that's really helpful.

Thanks friend, I will give this a go!
Do you think this will be ok?

Has anyone seen the phone flicker currently running it on 120 refresh but during play back of some videos within YouTube or Netflix app the picture breaks up and goes patchy/blocks its maybe once or twice a week. I'm not sure where the problem is as I have ran the Razer phone along side and iPhone 6s plus on the same video / quality and don't get the problem on the iPhone. Razer said it could be buffering but couldn't replicate the issue I was having even with time markings on certain videos.
Just looking to the end users of the phone to see if this is just me or my home network /signal issues or a general concern with the phone
Razer phone screen issues
Yes I've had this issue after the most recent update. I only see it on YouTube and some other videos atm.
Yeah same, here. My only gripe with the phone currently. Happened on 90hz with me.
I'm sure its easily fixed, however I am considering getting the 5T back out the box.
Getting a few fo flickers as well. Running at 120hz. Happens in random apps. Not just one specific
Razer phone screen issues
I'm still sticking with it because of the speakers for now lol but as time goes on better phones are coming out for cheap. I'll be contacting razer after Christmas about this issues and hopefully they will get the ball rolling on a fix.
Everyone who commented, please also say whether this is happening since the MR2 update (newest) for you or whether it was happening before that as well.
Thanks!
It's still happening. I'll randomly get blotchey blocks when watching videos and also the screen flickers like mad on greyish to dark grey backrounds like when in discord. Also it will do a flicker of the background wallpaper when I exit a browser or app. On latest software for me it actually made things worse. It introduced this flicker constantly.
The video getting garbeled was day 1, but the flicker after this update is unacceptable. It needs to be fixed it's highly annoying.
I just started to notice the screen flickering on grey and darker background colors a few days ago as well and I'm not sure what caused it. I'm assuming it must have been the latest update but I've also noticed the flickering seems to become more pronounced when you are actually touching the screen vs when it's just idle.
Just updated this morning, and I had no issues before, but now the screen is flickering pretty badly, especially on white backgrounds like the settings menu.
Hey so I've been messing around with the phone and it seems like the flickering may have to do with the variable refresh rate of the display. I turned on the on screen frame counter in the developer options then opened up an app like discord and the screen flickers everytime the frame counter refreshes. The frame counter seems to refresh every second or so when the phone is idle and I'm not touching it.
When I'm constantly scrolling through something there is no flickering because the refresh rate is at a steady 120 Hz but as soon as I stop and the refresh rate changes the flickering begins again and once again keeps going as the frame counter keeps refreshing.
Now another thing I noticed is if I scroll slowly through discord the flickering intensifies and I assume this is because the screen keeps changing the refresh rate at faster pace because the framerate keeps going up and down.
Hopefully this made some sense. I'm not sure if it's an issue that can be fixed through a software update or if that's just how the hardware is but hopefully it's an issue that can be resolved soon.
Also I've noticed another issue.
1. There is a constant flashing that's like going on super fast.
2. Random big flashes of light that that just come out of nowhere.
This new update has screwed things up real good. Battery life maybe worse as well.
So is this a confirmed bug in the latest firmware only?
I'm on build .853 without these such quirks.
It's been an on going issue and one that's making me feel it's not fit for purpose so going to talk to three as I may get it swapped out. If software can't fix it and it happens often daily for me then it's no good. Razer kinda said they don't know what I'm on about so would be nice for more people to submit a support ticket with them.
Ok so can people confirm whether or not this is related to the last update. I dont have this on my build .853 on THREE UK. I was waiting for the last update to fix the reduced volume and camera but this screen flickering thing is going to be very annoying if thats the case.

Pretty sure the new update is causing it. Never had this issue before the update. Now happens pretty often
Here's another kicker. Now instead of the screen getting blocky it just locks up then the phone turns off. I have to turn it back on again. This is beyond stupid this update has totally screwed up my device.
Come 2018 Razer is going to get a call and complaints.
The flickering is directly related to the dynamic refresh rate. Just chain scroll up and down a page that flickers it will stop cause the refresh rate will be locked.
If this seriously is down to the latest update this is fkd.
Has anyone tried a factory reset after the update to see if the bugs enlisted here persist?
It's worth a try at the least, to totally distinguish are these bugs directly from the latest firmware or clash of remnants from old firmware and the new installed firmware.
I'd try but I'm still on .853 Three.
This is starting to get annoying now. Razer literally flopped with the software side of things. One minute people are waiting for a fix for the current issues, next minute there is a new update which brings even more problems. Most people got this phone because of the screen and speakers but theres nothing but problems. Out of the box update reduced the volume of the speakers and still waiting for a fix from launch day 17/11. Camera is just a total mess, my galaxy note 4/5 camera was much better and that was like 2-3 years ago. Nfc is also a mess. And now people have been complaining about the screen flickering and phone restarting issues. I hope its just a matter of having to factory reset after the latest update and hopefully that will solve the issues. One other question I never got a proper answer for.. even Razer technical team have not managed to answer me on this. Why is this phone only charging at 1900mAH max throughout the whole charge period hence having Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0+ technology? Am I missing a point here or do I have a defective unit. I replacement charger was sent to me and no difference.

Software and hardware side both failed out of the gate I really should have known better which is why when I get my RMA there's a high chance I'll be selling the phone. Don't get me wrong I'm sure the software side will get much better I have full faith in the Devs such as lex but hardware QA I can't :/
Wish we could downgrade back to the old firmware. This update suckssssssssss
EDIT: Correct me if I'm wrong, but ever since I turned off auto brightness the screen flicking is not as bad. Someone else try and let me know. Or it could just be positive thinking and I'm crazy.
Hi - new to the G3 world. Occasionally I buy faulty electronics from ebay, in the hope of fixing the item. I like the challenge
So I bought a G3. This phone I bought is a mini work in progress to repair. I really like it.
I am going to put the workaround that worked in my case here first. It may not work or work for you
WORKAROUND FOR SEVERE NOISE CRASH:
SYMPTOM of NOISE CRASH PROBLEM: Using the phone, when out of the blue a horrible screech from the phone and a software (OS) crash and reboot.
When I got this phone it had big issues. I read and got a lot of help from here, thanks !!!
It would happen just about every time I used the phone.
The phone was also hot at the back and chewing through the battery. Was it overheating ? I'm not sure what temperature is normal for a G3.
WORKAROUND (THAT IS HOLDING UP AFTER A WEEK) NO DEATH NOW BY SOUND CRASH:
1. I think the best thing I did was to loosen (not remove) *ALL* the tiny screws around the phone at the back, around the edge. I will post a picture, but haven't done so yet.
I then flexed the whole phone a very little bit once the screws were loose. Yes I now have a few 'screws loose'.....
THATS IT. The phone hasn't fallen apart BUT obviously it could if dropped.
2. I also ran an app I learned about here called "battery guru".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not using this phone to make calls - just use spotify and a video streaming service. Battery life great now and heat minimal.
I realize it's not an ideal solution, and may only worked with my phone. Will post a picture of the screws soon.
Cheers
Every time when I am trying to use berry the screen think I am swiping. It does not act this way on any other game. I have screen record video to show this wierd screen thing.
Phone is: Asus ROG phone 6
I recently got my ROG Phone 6 and this was driving me nuts in all of my games. I managed to fix this buy dropping down the sensitivity in x-mode. Dropped it to the lowest and it seems mostly better now. Hope that helps.
