I been having this annoying issue with the top left corner not responding to touch. This will often happen when I'm in a app or have multiple apps open. This never happened before. Until I got this replacement device. Has anyone else experience this issue?
can you remember if you were plugged in to the power source? I've had that few times using the phone while charging. unplug it then problem goes away. I think it's a known issue from the LG OS/software. it happens rarely so I don't really see that as a problem but surely a bug needs to be fixed.
I am having the same exact problem with my S6 edge. And looking around the Web, I've found that many others seem to be having the same problem with various devices. The only common link I've seen so far is lollipop.
Even if you rotate the screen, the dead area moves with the rotation and you still can't click on that area to access the menu, etc.
Of course, I can't find anyone official to acknowledge the problem, so I'm not sure what we can do.
Wow that's sucks. A buddy of mine is having the same issue with lollipop 5.1 I'm having this problem now after getting a brand new unopened lg g4.

I had the same issue a few days ago. This was after I flashed back to stock and just finished adding all my apps back. I don't know if flashing back or adding an app caused it. All I did was kdz back and my top left corner started working again.
Try to remove facebook messenger , restart and try it will be solved (worked with me )
FB Messenger is definitely the problem. I can pretty much guarantee it. Been testing it here and that's what I keep seeing as the cause of the issue.

The short version, a buttload of testing with various different phones between myself and other digital forensic examiners. Can't exactly say WHAT is causing it in their code. But we can comfortably say that it is being caused by the app. We have some speculation as to the problem, but not enough to exactly pinpoint it. But we can comfortably saw that it's Facebook Messenger.
I uninstalled the app and my screen started to work properly again. Kinda wish I knew this 3 replacement phones ago.

Hi there,
just wondering if anyone else are having issues of their phone randomly rebooting? does anyone know of a fix?
also, sending photos as an attachment does not work. in order to send a photo to anyone on your contact list.
found a work around by going through gallery and sending it directly from there.
if anyone know of a fix for either issues. the help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
kevin
I've had several random reboots. Oddly enough, they usually occurred overnight when I wasn't using the phone. I would hear the vibration on my windowsill and saw it was rebooting. I did a factory reset yesterday and while in the midst of setting everything up on my phone, it rebooted again. I thought that maybe there was too much going on and it overloaded. But last night when I was out and not using my phone, it rebooted again. I'm gonna have to go to Verizon to swap the phone.
It keeps happening on mine, but almost always in the car while attached with BT. I'm wondering if BT has something to do with it, in my case.
Same thing
I am also experiencing the issue specifically at night. I have yet to actually have it interrupt me in anything but its still a concern. Just curious about whether for those of you who are experiencing it are using the Assist app or Android Assistant?
I only use the Assist app for when I'm in the car. It's not setup for night time. I exchanged my phone at Verizon today and so far so good. One of the employees tried telling me that the reboots could have been because I had Better Battery Stats installed on my phone and the battery saver apps can conflict with the OS. I blew his mind when I told him that BBS wasn't a battery saver app and simply lets people know about specific wakelocks. Seemed like no one there had any idea this phone even existed.
For the reboots, I guess tonight will be the big test.
It happened again to me this morning as soon as I got in the car and it connected to Bluetooth. Once it reboots, it's solid.

Please report back. I have gone 24 hours without a reboot with no changes to the device which is a first. If it doesn't have a Samsung or Apple logo no one seems to care anymore.
I can't get Assist to work at all. I typically listen to podcasts in the car and when texts come in I get a notification sound but I've never had one read to me. I disabled Assist to see if this was the cause of my Bluetooth reboots, and it's not.
With Assist disabled entirely, each time my phone pairs with Bluetooth it connects but the moment I start to play something it reboots. It's very consistent.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't had any reboots with the new phone. I exchanged my old one for this one on Monday and so far everything's been good.
I have now had 3-4 random reboots that I have seen. I have also witnessed a complete lock up of the phone. I will be heading into Verizon today to exchange my phone.
Just wanted OP to know more people are having issues.

Hey guys, so I got my Pebble a few days ago and I noticed a weird glitch that has happened to me everyday where the text would randomly get really small on the watch face and any notification. I think it might have to do with Glance, because Glance seems to freeze up when this happens and eventually reboots. The text goes back to normal after this. This isn't a huge problem since it reboots very quickly, but I was just curious if there might be a fix Thanks.
So, this bug is occurring almost everyday. Again, it reboots in literally 2 seconds so it's not a huge deal, but I was just curious if anyone else had the problem. I took a picture when it happened, it's not very clear. Basically, the text gets very small and then if I go into Glance, I see this http://imgur.com/CP3dTa3. Half the screen is black and then right after I try to scroll within the screen it reboots and then it's fine for a day or so. I think it's most likely a problem with glance but I'm not sure.

I've experienced this too, the small text anyway. I've never gone to look at Glance when it happens. I'll try to remember to check that next time it happens.
Unfortunately I can't really be of much help with a fix.

I guess I can try uninstalling glance and see if the problem disappears.
That's a bug with pebble and 3rd party apps. I've noticed it with other 3rd party apps other then glance.
I have to notice that on pebble after a factory reset and no 3rd party app.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
The small print means that the Pebble is running out of memory, usually caused by third party apps. Glance has this problem and that's the reason I don't use it. With 2.x firmware I haven't had the issue, but still not using Glance, so i don't know if the problem is solved

Thanks guys for the explanation. I suppose that makes sense. Again, not a huge issue, just my thing is that I want to make sure it's not a defect in the device.
Hello
Ive had numerous problems while i was on KK 4.4.2 .681 and .757 with freezeing phone, random reboots(usually once a day) and touch screen issues.
I have asked alot here and over at Sonys support forum and ppl began to point out that i could very well have a hardware problem. Although the problems i have had on KK wasnt that odd. Since ive read about others having theese problems.
But early monday morning i thought that hmm why not try what a dude here suggested. Wipe the phone completley with cache, dalvik cache and all that and flash the latest 4.3 firmware with JB. Hmm oki well i did that, and so far i havent had any reboots, or any freezes. Camera is QUICK and takes better pictures. At some point i thought the touch was acting weird but that could just be the app itself freaking out, it was only for a few seconds and after that everything was working like it should. Battery time is better aswell(although it goes down to 75% quite fast but after that its slooooow).
So do you still think i might have hardware issues ? I was about to ship my phone back to China but now it feels like it is pure software issues. And i have had big troubles with the retailer to accept this as a warranty matter since he belives its a software issue.
But then again, my phone aint operating good at all with KK 4.4.2
So far everything is fine with the phone, missing some stuff from KK but not the end of the world. But im still testing. If it will remain on without a freeze until the end of the week i could be quite certain that it is KK that ****s up my phone totally.
Please respond with thoughts.
Who told you to wipe your phone? ..lol..
Just my thoughts about touch screen, I replaced 2 days ago my "lucid" classic transparent screen protector with one Anti-Glare, which is not lucid glass like many but is rough and it influence a little little bit on the visualization of the screen, tiny, tiny thing but the touch screen is much much more responsive.
Classic issue with touch screen, unlock with patterns, with the lucid screen protector sometimes it skipped the touch and I had to try 2 times to unlock the phone if the phone was put on the table without hold it. With the new screen protector it not skip anything.
Sometime a stupid thing can be the issue.
Could be the screen protector, remember the first one I had was a antiglare, and as far as I remember I didn't have those issues then. Now I have ultraclear one. Could be that, you never know. I do have tempered glass one wich I haven't used.
Just before the phone actually froze for a few seconds just when I took a picture, but it came back with no reboot. And I got a msg on WhatsApp and messenger at the same time so that could be what was causing the lag this time. Hopefully

Still no reboot! Used camera alot and done all sorts of stuff.
And today I changed my screenprotector to see if that would rectify the touchscreen issue. I used a tempered glass screen protector. O my god how much better that protector feels! But still testing for any issues

Some updates.
No random reboots!
But two other odd things occurred and one of them is known.
1. Touchscreen went crazy, it didn't press what I wanted and so on. I noticed it actually swiped on the keyboard. Turned that function off and unistalled the app "Color notes". Touch screen bugs are known and Sony even admitted it so.
2. I couldn't send sms today, tried to several but got error. Data and so on still worked. Restarted the phone and then it worked again (might just be coincidence). Although I noticed that it at some point it had trouble sending data, took forever to get connection even though I had 3-4 pins reception. Also noticed when that sms bug occurred that it switched from 2 pins to full every time I opened the sms to send.
But still no reboots. These things maybe would trigger reboots with kitkat, I dunno.

I have it all the time, I mean not the touch screen going crazy but the swipe one on keyboard, it happen always when I click on the letter A on left side, it really piss me off.
I think I have to turn off the swipe thing too.
Ye I've read about ppl having issues like we do and they just turned it off and then it works. Sony said they would fix the touchscreen issues in updates but still not fixed.
Btw, have you noticed that the "swipe" to turn off the alarm clock is less sensitive? It takes some trys to swipe to turn it off. Although it is a good thing because it makes me pissed and I have to concentrate to turn it off wich makes me to get up Might be an intended "bug".

Yes, Yes, I am glad that I am not alone. It was less sensitive even before I turned off the "keyboard swipe" thing. So not really know if it's related to that features, it shouldn't, but you confirmed a "bug" which was keeping me thinking. O Lord, I dream about a Z1 bugs free! (dream only)

Well that Alarm swipe might not be a bug actually, ive tried it back and forth and if you "lazy" swipe it fast like you would when it rings in the morning it wont turn off. But if you do apply pressure and swipe slow it will turn off. Not a huge problem for me since it actually help me getting out of bed

Is anyone else having issues with video playback in landscape mode? 1/2 the screen freezes and the other half continues to play the video. It is the weirdest thing. Taking a screenshot shows the normal output. Trying to find out if this is common or if there's something up with my phone
I've had half screen turning black. Seems to happen after daydreaming for me, and coming out of landscape orientation even though the daydream never actually went landscape. Seems like a couple weird problems at the same time. Had to reboot to get out of the freeze. I've turned off daydream for now...will see if the freeze happens elsewhere.

I have not changed anything regarding dpi settings. In fact, ive kept this stock....for now. I was worried it was just me but it seems to be affecting other people. 64gb Blue if there is any correlation between model number.
My DPI is stock. 64gb white. Rooted, unlocked stock bootloader, stock kernal/rom. I did figure out that a simple screen off then back on corrected the issue.
Still weird...

Yup that seems to clear it, however when you are showing off this massive behemoth to all your friends playing a video , it just gets a little annoying having to power off unlock and reload. I'm wondering if its been submitted to google as a bug.

Hello, I have received an update to Android Wear 5.0.1 yesterday on my LG G Watch R. Ever since I've updated it, the watch as been freezing and giving me a static screen. The screen will remain there for 5-10 minutes and then it will act fine again, but then it will randomly freeze and give this issue again. I deeply regret updating as the watch has been perfectly fine and running smooth before the update. I will try to attach a picture of the screen, but has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a possible fix?

I'd remove all wear related apps on your phone. Uninstall android wear too. Then I'd factory reset my watch. Reinstall wear from the market and see if the problem persists

This sounded like a hopeful idea but upon resetting to factory settings, the device shut off and reboot(as expected) and then it just gave a static screen. The static screen stayed there for five minutes and it allowed to select a language, ect. I have just re-installed Android Wear onto my phone(I had it uninstalled before resetting the watch) and it is now paired and it is behaving as it did after updating it yesterday, just giving me random static screens I'm leaving the country tomorrow, but I will be checking back for any solutions between now and then. Anything would be helpful. But it does look like I will be contacting LG about the matter, it doesn't seem to be a common issue to have a static screen...

My first one did this, but would not get normal until the battery was empty, charging it did cause a reboot. Contacted LG, they said a Hardware failure, and send me a email with their conclusion (i send them a picture, with a description) so if the webshop i bought it from was reluctant to swap it for a new one, i was supported by this, not necessary, they swapped it, that one got the blinking issue, and now i have a third new one Get it replaced!

I might just go ahead an do this once I get back home. This morning the screen was acting very odd as I was swiping through notifications and it just began blinking and showing black lines near the edge. It stopped once I hit the power button twice. I'll just get it exchanged before it gets worse Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Hopefully I get lucky the second time!
