hey guys a quick question for you. I bought an OB for my gf as a gift for christmass. I get dead touches sometimes and it caught my eye sometime ago that some users experienced similar probs. Is it hardware or crappy software on part of lg? and if it is sw can any version fix this? I updated phone to v10g and still same problem. maybe some other version or any custom rom? Other than that phone is pretty decent and the screen compared to my o3d rocks. Any help would be welcome. And merry christmass to all. sry for my bad english
If it's a hardware issue with capacitive panel, no upgrade will fix it.
And about the ROM, we have Cyanogenmod nightlies as the best available option. ( Try installing CM7, if you think your touch button problem is s/w related)
Dead touches? What are those? Care to elaborate? Thanks!
dead touches is a problem of LGmail. if this app not in memory - we have dead touches. start LGmail and quit

so are you suggesting i send it back as D.O.A and have ot replaced? I mean is it just my bad luck or is it a general problem with all OBs?

Hello Community,
I have actually just a short question. I have got an offering for touch HD for only 150€. The owner says the functionality is still given but after a ROM Update the background keeps black so it seems the lighting broke after the ROM update. However what I would like to know is, if this can happen and if there is any chance to get that fixed with less effort.
Or is this just a bad try of the seller to get my money
Thx for your help
Iv never hued of this happening, but i could be rong
i would put it down to the seller just trying to get money and the blacklight was broken in some way

ROM update shouldn't cause this, sounds more like a digitizer/main board issue.
I throw my O2X on the floor a day ago and now it's not working!
It won't boot, just shows the LG logo at the start and flashes (logo goes away and comes back)
I don't know what to do, and if it is a hardware or software problem
Thank you,
agronn19
PS. Sorry for my bad english!
If it was woking fine before dropping on the floor, then it must be hardware issue. Then again, bootloop is software issue!! Check if any hardware botton(s) has/have been pressed in.
I once threw my cell when I was playing darts in it n then I couldn't boot at all..fortunately I had warranty and I replaced it.
Maybe it has something to do with some component of O2X being loose. Try flashing new ROM if you can help it. Else it probably needs some prying up!

Sorry for the irony but how can I flash a new ROM? I'm new to Android.
My LG O2X have Android 2.3, if this will help you anything.
thanks. :good:

Use Smartflash to Flash the original firmware. Search for SMARTFLASH and original ROMs in ANDROID DEVELOPMENT section.
Its recommended not to try anythng if you have no idea what you're about to do!! Its a nice idea to get help from someone who knows android. Or starting learning it first.
And its a unusual problem. If the above method doesn't work, then the phone needs 1st hand checking....or help from someone better than me.
Hi
Recently bought the ONE. Sometimes my back button stops responding completely for a while. if i try to press the home button at that time, it works. this happens rarely.
My device is just a few days old so i can easily get it replaced.
I wanted to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? If software then i guess it can be easily solved by a ROM flash. Else i should quickly have my device replaced.
Please share your experiences/ views on similar defects.

Have you faced/ seen similar problems? Are you sure that this is not a software problem? My device is so perfect otherwise (no hardware defects) that i am scared to get in to the replacement process and end up with a device with another defect and then replace that again..
I just want to be really sure that this is a hardware problem and it can only be solved by getting it replaced.

If your phone is rooted, then they will not replace it.
So go replace it, safest and best option, you got nothing to lose.
you can always flash a rom after you get a working device.

Maybe yeah. but if it isnt.... warranty voided and irreplacable damaged product is all you have.
Thats why i advise you to play safe.

Thanks Riyal... is there a ROM that i can flash which has the fix?
Hi,
1. So i was on xenon HD and started experiencing touch sensitivity issues where in lock screen did not respond or opened up google now instead of unlocking.
2. So I thought of switch over and flashed PAC and was really satisfied as I also got my GPS working. But the very next day it started to behave unusually and the home button of navbar kept on activating all by itself hence taking me out of any app or even app drawer.
Thought of it as ROM issue and decided would flash the latest version sometime later as my net was down.
3. Used liquidsmooth but the same problem of intermittent home button and back button too started and I had to switch off the phone within 5 minutes of flshing liquidsmooth.
4. Finally thought of getting 4.1.2 and hence flashed holoblur. By this time navbar went numb :crying:. Didn't respond to anything.
5. Restored to the stock ROM. But still navbar is not working.
Just hoping that this is not hardware related issue:fingers-crossed:. Would really hate to part away from this phone.
Please help out guys.
EDIT : So the navbar just started responding by itself. But still not perfect. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't.

may be a hardware error, contact your nearest store to fix it, before that flash stock and flash boot logo too, so untill they check the bootloader, they might not know your bootloader is unlocked...

Completely flash a stock fast boot. Issue could be kernel related. If the issue persists after a fully wiped stock flash this is a hardware issue. As is, issue sounds more like either bad settings from dirty flashing or kernel issues. The stock ROMs don't come with kernels, if your last 4.2.2 ROM had a bad kernel, same bad kernel is more than likely being used. I recommend flashing Mex Retail.

The navbar works fine sometimes before again going into madmode. So i really doubt it is a hardware issue.
@Aingaran : Holoblur has custom kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43430196&postcount=131
@skeevydude : I need to follow the instructions mentioned here for stock JB ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226527 OR simply use myth tools to flash the mexican retail rom zip ?
facepalm: for asking this but is there anything else i need to do ?? )
So flashed the stock but same issue. Now the particular strip of the touchscreen where navbar rests has totally become unresponsive. Hence hardware is at fault here.
So flashed PAC ver 23 and using pie controls as of now as a temporary solution. Would try and get it repaired during weekend. @Aingaran : I guess I need to change screen and digitizer. Since you broke yours can you gimme rough idea how much it will cost ?
Yup.. Its just digitizer LCD panel is fine if you get display... And the kit for replacing digitizer cost me 3770 rs... You can search on ebay.in and don't forget to get T5 screw driver and digitizer sticker to stick digitizer to frame...

Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing
@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.
3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?
Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it
Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain
