I have a stock LG G Flex from t-Mobile. When I open messaging or the Google app the soft keys at the bottom of the screen stop responding. It's not a digitizer issue because if I install a messaging program they work fine but in the stock app they do not. I am unsure what is causing the issue and I can not seem to find anything searching that is similar with this phone. Anybody have any ideas what it could be?

Hi there.
I am pretty new here & didn't read up on billboards yet, but I had something very strange happening to me yesterday. The phone automatically downloaded a 'Google Voice Search'-update and since it's installed, I keep encountering problems.
The most annoying one - the camera doesn't work anymore. If I click on the icon, the screen just turns black and remains like that until I either hit the HOME button - or if I wait long enough - I get an Force close-popup.
Furthermore, after calls, the screen also turn dark sometimes, but turn back on after a while. Other that that, everything works fine as before.
Am I the only one?
Does anyone know whether it's update-related or whether it's just a coincidence. Everything else works fine, so I doubt it's something else.
Is there a way to reinstall the camera app without having to flash the phone. As I said, I am a newy & don't want to end up with a brick.
The malfunction started only yesterday after the auto-update. I am on a Spanish GSM network, but I guess that's not of much relevance. The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Tks for any suggestions.

Hey,
I have an HTC One black - stock os - UK unlocked version - after 4.2.2 update.
I've got a strange problem regarding the top of the touchscreen. when the phone is horizontal, the top bit (between the top bar to the first widget) is not working. the rest of the screen working fine. when I pick the device up, the screen is working fine 70% of the time. as a result, I cant open the notification bar and it thinks that I'm clicking or re-arranging my widgets.
It's weird because IT DOES work 60% of the time.
1. did any of you experienced any of this before?
2. What do you think it is? software or I have to replace the digitizer?
3. Is it just calibration problem? I tried to calibrate the device using the keyboard screen calibration and it didn't do anything.
Thanks!
Eran.

I just started experiencing this same problem today as well. I was on a Google Edition 4.3 Rom for about 2 days, Viper 3.2 I believe and everything was initially working as it should. Suddenly I began experiencing the non responsive status bar. I cleared data & cache, fixed permissions, and even tried a factory reset with no luck. I then reinstalled the Rom and the problem persisted. I then downloaded and installed black jelly Rom along with a complete wipe of the entire storage after transferring important data to my PC, but the status bar was still unresponsive and it appeared the top 1/4 inch of display had a digitizer issue. I tried to restore an older backup of Venom Rom running Sense and I still had no luck, until I went into the browser so that I could rotate into landscape to see if I could access it from this orientation (don't know why that didn't cross my mind sooner?) After I pulled the notification shade in landscape I left it down and rotated back into portrait mode and drew the shade back up slowly, following through with the gesture all the way to the top of the display. Then the functionality from portrait was restored! I believe this is a software bug of some sort, but I'm contemplating returning it to stock and relocking the bootloader to return it. I'm actually using the Tmobile variant and it's only about 30 days old. My insurance will cover a replacement for a faulty unit, but who knows if will happen with another? After a Google search I discovered this was an issue that surfaced with quite a few One X's as well, so I'm thinking it may be a bug that's consistent with some HTC hardware of a different variants? Any updates or insight would be appreciated.
Does anybody know if Sidesync works with our turbos? Or if there is an app similar to it like mobizen? Mobizen works, but it misses certain buttons and things that I still have to push from my phone screen.
What exactly are you trying to do?
So, wondering if anyone else is having this. It definitely seems to be software related, I just can't for the life of me figure out what installed app did this, but hoping someone has the same issue and will chime in here. At random, the top left where the menu button is in Google Play store, for example, will act like it's not taking my touch input. The same goes for where the Edge app/contacts is. I know it to be software because if I rotate the screen in Google Play, the menu button still doesn't work and it's in a different spot while rotated obviously, so not physical from what I can see/determine. I did a factory reset only a few weeks ago, after the last update (as I usually do) and it was fine then (and right after).

Ive had similar issues on OE2 stock.. it seemed the whole top half of the screen wouldnt recognize input and this waseven after reboots and hard resets..
It wasnt til i went back to a fresh install of a custom rom where i got it back.
I havent been able to determine a culprit outside of the software in general.
Yeah, I was sure it was software because if I pull the notification bar down and slide my finger past the "dead" area on the screen, it works fine. Also, the "dead" are moves with whether you are in portrait or landscape mode. What sucks is, my Edge bar seems to not work most of the time. Wish they'd fix this, I'm very certain it's not hardware.
Update: Think I found a fix. It's been a whole day without issues. Believe it or not, change the theme you are using (I was using default, hope you were too?). I switched to the free material theme I found in the store (I like it), and have had 0 touch issues since.
*Edit, well I had 2 good days, but the issue came back. Not as frequent, it seems, but can't nail down why it happened. I did a factory reset after this update, too.
Hello everyone, I'm just curious to know if anyone knows how to fix this issue: when I unplug my phone and shut the screen off right after, my phone simply freezes in the state that its in. I know its frozen because if I have my flashlight on it stays on and nothing responds (touches, buttons, fingerpring sensor, etc), but it will not freeze if I have music playing for some reason and the only way to get access to my phone again is to forcefully restarting it (by holding down power for about 10s, which is really annoying). If anyone can help me with this I would really apreciate it. Ps: my phone is a Moto G6 (ali). I know that doing a factory reset fixes it, but right after I re root it and install my apps it starts doing it again. Below is a screenshot with all my root apps.

I have this exact same problem. I have 2 moto's. It occurs on both of them. Never happened till I rooted.
You should disable all of those apps ( especially substratum) and see if the problem still happens. Then if it doesn't, activate one by one till it happens again. Then with the culprit found, look in internet if it has any conflicts to another app you have installed. If you find maybe they have like a patch to download or a modified version. If not you'll have to let one of them go. Or maybe there's no conflict with any other app and it's just that one misbehaving. Disable all other apps and let only the culprit activated. Does it still bug? you can try reinstalling the app or uninstalling it.
