Firstly hello to all my fellow Vega UK users!
For the price I think this device is great, but it does have it's issues.
Do any of you have the problem where the touch screen just seems to stop working? It'll kick in again soon enough, but it's frustrating as hell.
Also sometimes the task manager seems to appear by itself, but I can;t get it to appear when I need it?
I'm using Pauls Add-on ROM. (thanks Paul )
Logicalstep
I havn't had any major lag at all.
What do you mean by task manager? do you mean the one when you hold "home"?
I have found after a lot of use, with a lot of apps open that the system can lag. I guess this is due to system resources. Recommend installing ES Task Manager from the market to manage running tasks.
You mentioned the task manager appears by its self, do you mean the home screen selector? I found hitting the home button to many times makes this display.
Some users have reported issues with the touch system when the tablet is charging. Do these issues only appear when plugged in?

Yes believe so. due to non regulated power supply causes the screen to become over sensitive.
I get this issue too occasionally, vastly increased when plugged in, now and then when not.
I dont use the machine when its charging.
No real rhyme or reason to it occouring in my experience, id love to know of a cause, other than dirty screen.

Yeah It's a bit of a strange one tbh.
Can;t say I have noticed the lag more when plugged in. I though the PSU was regulated, isn't it just a standard Switch mode PSU?
On the task manager, well obviously there is a task manager with Foryo and oon my Galaxy s I hold the hold button down and it appears, however there doesn;t appear to be a reliable way to do this on the Vega....or am I wrong?
Logicalstep
I never get any touch lag, but I'm not convinced "lag" is the word you want.
"lag" would indicate that the response is somewhat behind the touch action. Android versions below Gingerbread do suffer from that when the CPU is loaded but the Vega is better then most in that regard.
What it does suffer from a _lot_ it erroneous and missing touch events (especially when using a poorly smoothed PSU like the one provided) symptoms include:
1. Swipe gestures being terminated before you lift your finger.
2. Long press actions acting like multiple-presses.
3. (The most common for me) Finger up events failing to register (resulting is erroneous long-presses)
But none of these are "lag". I believe there are grounding problems in the Vega and thus how you hold the tablet and the humidity and static of the environment can change the reliability of the touch screen. It's been reported that having the Vega plugged into a desktop via USB increases the reliability of the display (at least when also charging) which lends credence to the idea that it's grounding related.
What I have noticed ín particular is that holding the tablet in landscape mode makes the keyboard ultra inaccurate. You must press much below the level you want. E.g., if you want to write a Q you hit the A key. It's a bit bothersome while writing...
I haven't experienced any lag, just a slight deadzone at the bottom of the screen and inaccurate keyboard typing. Nothing major. I also haven't really noticed the messed up screen sensitivity when charging that people have been going on about.

Iv seen lag when I first turn it on but it goes away in couple of minutes, if its on standby it never lags.... cmon honeycomb!!!!

The performance pack really reduces start up lag issues btw.
I've seen the device lag sometimes but since i installed pauls peformance pack the lag has gone away making the device so much better.
Well for me the keyboard is still a major issue. Not lag really, but it appears to register my touches multiple times. Right now Im typing this reply on my tablet and I have to go back so many times to correct multiple characters, spaces etc. Its just taking so long and requires so much effort to write a simple message.. for browsing and apps I love it but for email its horrible..

Is the power supply plugged in? (Screws up the calibration in my experience)
Are you touching the screen while it calibrates?
Update 12/30/13 10 full days of no issues (as specified in this OP) for me or other VZW G2 owners after the latest VZW update, as reported here and on Android Central. Could it have been the result of the efforts of those that contributed here? Could be - no way of telling though. But thanks to everyone that weighed-in and contributed to the discussion.
Most of all "THANKS" to VZW and/or LG for either directly or incidentally fixing this issue.
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
Update 12/24/13: It's now 3 days post VZW OTA update, and I am not seeing any issue at all anymore - nothing but stable, super-fast performance. Can we be past this issue once and for all? As of now it's still too early to tell, as it can take hours, days, weeks for this issue to surface. But, we are well on the way!
If you are a VZW G2 owner, please weigh-in at the end of this thread. We all want to know what you are seeing in the way of this long-standing software defect.
_______________________________________________________
Update 11/27/13: (more updates at the bottom of this OP)
The reports of the G2's erratic behavior related to the touchscreen have grown to the point where I really need to revise this OP so that readers can get a summary of what we've learned over time without having to read the entire thread.
The Issue:
The G2 exhibits erratic touchscreen behavior including:
- Phantom touches that result in unintended selections being made
- Wild scrolling - the user intends to scroll on a web page just a bit, and the page goes flying in that direction - out of control
- The inability to draw a straight line in a drawing app- your straight line gets interpreted on-screen as a jagged, EKG-like readout
- Pulling-down on the notification shade unintentionally selects one of the apps within the shade like QuickMemo or RichNote
- Swiping to unlock turns the screen off
- Pulling-down on the notification shade turns the screen off
- Gibberish is entered when using the swipe function on the keyboard
- Jittery behavior when holding on to an on-screen icon that you intend to move
- Jittery behavior when scrolling very slowly between homescreens
- Holding on to an icon on the homescreen (just holding it) can unintentionally move the icon to another part of the homescreen, or execute the application for that icon
The occurrence of this issue appears to some to be random, to others it clearly follows active use of the device, such as:
- Watching a video
- Playing a game
- Entering in paragraphs of text into the keyboard using the swipe function
- Spending time scrolling around web pages
- Actively swiping through home screens
As time goes on, there are more and more postings on forums across the 'net of people observing this issue. Typically, they are seeing just one symptom, but when you survey across all of the postings, it's immediately apparent that they are all related to the same root cause. You can simply Google terms like "G2 Touchscreen problems" and you'll find endless reports of issues related to the "G2 touchscreen". Here's a link to just one informative thread on another forum. There are many more.
One owner discovered early on that when the G2 is getting erratic, you can go into QuickMemo and if you attempt to draw straight lines in transparent mode, you'll often get wacky EKG-like, spiky lines. It's important to note that this is just a simple, somewhat reliable visual confirmation of the phantom touches. "Somewhat reliable" because it does not work in every case for every owner.
YouTube videos showcasing this defect:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLnRZyKAL1M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4QOMB8UTx4
The Cause:
Purely speculative at this point, but my vote is that it's a software issue (probably at the binary/driver level), because:
- Simply turning the screen off and back on will remedy the issue, for the moment
- It is not related to device tempurature, which could lead to hardware variances in the touchscreen itself, as there is no repeatable evidence of this
- It seems to be affected by "getting busy" with the device
The Fix:
Again, it's "early days" so I'll just forward my opinon: LG needs to investigate and address this issue with a software update.
In the meantime, you can turn your screen off, and then on again. In most cases, you'll be good-to-go for a while, or maybe for a few days, or maybe longer. It really appears to be usage-dependant.
A number of us are keeping an eye on the relationship between having sufficient RAM available and this issue. I have been religiously dumping apps during the day and I haven't had a recurrence in quite a while. This is certainly not conclusive at this point - just speculative for now. 12/1/13: RAM appears to have nothing to do with this. See post #91.
Regarding Rooting/ROMs: There are many accounts of owners who attempt to "fix" this problem by rooting and using a custom ROM. The majority of these owners end up reporting that the issue surfaces just the same with the new ROM. This is why I suspect a software issue at the binary/driver level.
Regarding Returning/Exchanging: If you are able to easily return or exchange, it's your decision. I decided to exchange mine after a week, even though most of my research showed that this issue just reoccurs for most owners. So I got a new one, and within 4 days it was exhibiting the same issue. There are numerous reports of owners that have gone through 3, 4 or more G2's, all exhibiting the same issue. So, it's your call. Good luck!
Lastly...
Please note that this issue does not surface for every owner every day - so please - there's no need to report in this thread that your device is "fine"!
12/1/13 update: See post #91. I was able to "play" with the issue for an extended time and learned some new things.
12/16/13 update: It appears that this issue is generally related to "getting busy" with the G2. One specific activity that is emerging as a repeatable observation across the G2 community is viewing videos in the browser (not via the YouTube app). This is not to say that this is a 100% prerequisite, it's just an activity that many (not all!) G2 owners report just prior to the G2 spazzing-out.

I've noticed a bit of weird behavior with the stock browser app, and was wondering if I was the only one seeing this...
At random intervals, my browser seems to spaz-out when trying to do simple operations. For instance, sometimes trying to move an icon (typically from the top row) can get very weird - I long-press it, it recognizes the long press, then as I hold it, it goes and does random behaviors like opening the app that I am long pressing, or making the browser jitter from side-to-side. I never get the opportunity to actually move the icon. I sometimes have to try 5-6 times to simply grab an icon on the top row of the homepage just to move it. Other times it works great.
I am a very experienced with Android devices and I've never seen anything like this.
Has anyone else seen this? Can anyone offer some insight?
Thanks!

That's not normal. I've had my G2 for over a month and have never had this issue. Try factory resetting the phone and see if the problem stops. Also try another launcher as well
Thanks for the reply.
I've considered going back to Nova Prime - my launcher of choice for years now. But, I like the stock launcher features, so I wanted to stay with it longer. I may do a factory reset.
Factory reset worked. Thanks for the suggestion.
The launcher is now working perfectly - smooth, fast, consistent. I must of had some app conflicts, or maybe some of the apps I disabled surfaced problematic behavior.
**Edit**
The issue was not resolved.
I've done some learning on this issue. Please weigh-in if you have additional experience.
Turns out, erratic touchscreen behavior is a common G2 issue that may be present in many G2's, even if you have not witnessed it yet. It appears to be totally dependent on your usage pattern. Some users report that their G2 is "fine", but they may not really push their G2 to exhibit the issue.
The problem:
The touchscreen gets over-sensitive, logging erratic phantom touchpoints. The issue is discussed in many threads on the 'net. The issue can be seen in the launcher, as I described in the link above, or in other apps. When present, you can really see this behavior if you go to Quick Memo and try to draw straight lines, you'll get something that looks more like a a cardiac EKG - random points registered to either side of your lines.
Possible cause:
It's likely to be software-related, as it occurs and then totally resolves itself. According to what I've observed and what I've seen online, if you use your G2 intensely for an extended period this issue can surface. I happened to do a total Factory Reset last night, which "fixed" the problem, but it probably would have corrected itself 100% once I left it alone for a while. If the touchscreen was "bad", it would tend to exhibit this issue more consistently - I would think.
It's not the screen protector or my case, as my G2 was working 100% perfectly last night after reset. I see only the tiniest bit of weirdness this AM as I was setting my phone back up (again, heavy duty usage).
There are posts in many threads where G2 users return their G2's only to find that it "comes back". A number of users have returned their G2's four or more times - every time the new G2 has the same issue. This is either wildly remote coincidence, or it's an advanced user pushing the G2 in a specific manner, causing it to behave erratically.
My wife has a G2 bought on the same day. She does not use her phone much, nor does she have any new apps installed on it. Works "perfectly". Not sure how it would behave if it had all of my apps on it and I was putting it through the paces.
If you have some helpful info on this topic, it would be great to hear it. For now, I am 5 days into a 14-day trial period. Even though most evidence seems to point to the issue not be resolved with a replacement G2, I still might try that route if I have to.
I LOVE this phone. For me it's the perfect follow-up to my beloved Gnex. It would be great to resolve this issue!

I've experienced this issue as well. There is a great video demonstrating the problem here.
As mentioned in the linked video, the problem does seem to be fixed by turning the screen off and then on again (which would indicate to me that it is a software issue).
Thanks for touching base.
Yup - I am well-aware of that video and it's exactly what I've experienced.
I wonder, how many G2 users who have observed this issue have just kept their G2's figuring that an upcoming release will address the issue? I am on the fence about returning mine, as I am not convinced that it's a hardware issue either.
I have not experienced it at all. But I will watch out for it now.

Did you try a rom (cyanogen for example)? If yes, is this issue still present there?
Made a video of this happening on my LG G2 (Sprint LS980). It is definitely intermittent but doesn't seem to have anything to do with using the phone a lot as when it happened to me today I had barely touched the phone in hours.
http://youtu.be/N8jyCjw8sIQ
It happens only and not frequently(especially when I played one after another) when i play the Samurai Siege or Death Trigger games. I also think-hope that this is a firmware problem. Mine is t-mobile variant.
Although a bit of a PIA, I pulled the trigger and a replacement G2 is on it's way.
Figured this is the best thing to do since I am still in the 14-day period.
The thing that makes this issue extra difficult is that it is sporadic and the way it manifests itself can be subtle. The fact that the phone starts registering phantom touches can show up as a crazy keyboard, scrolling issues, random selections, etc. Sometimes, if you didn't know better, you'd just assume you lifted your finger accidentally. Additionally, often times when this happens I'll try to pull down the notification bar but instead the device will register a double-tap on the notification bar and turn the screen off. Turning the screen off remedies the issue so once you turn it back on things seem normal. It is my guess that this issue is much more prevalent than it seems because a lot of users are probably chalking it up to some little goof on their part.
I noticed random issues like this the day after having my phone. On the FB app it was scrolling super fast and jerky. Then I tried to write a text using Swype and my words are all broken up. It only happened a few times. But it's noticeable when it acts up.

Great post. This further explains EXACTLY what I've experienced.
I also agree on the potentially prevalent nature of this issue. I wouldn't be surprised if this G2 touchscreen issue was inherent on many G2's. It seems that the owners that complain are ones that actually spend time entering text (more than a one-sentence sms message) and/or configuring their device (swyping/picking/scrolling). For me, I can get my G2 to exhibit this issue when I enter a couple of paragraphs in any app. Eventually, I'll start getting strings of random garbage words in place of a single word entry. If I immediately flip over to the Quick Memo app (with transparent background) and try to draw a straight line - I can't - my straight line gesture becomes an "EKG line" on the screen (as seen in various YouTube videos). I've also gotten every random issue that the poster above stated, including the annoying notification shade issue - you slide your finger down to open the shade and it turns off the display (or starts up one of the apps in the shade).
If your device doesn't exhibit this issue, it may mean that:
- You just never really use your device that intensively, or you don't look that closely, or you are quick to say "wow - that was weird" when you enter text via the keyboard and get a garbled result.
- You may actually have a device that is not affected. I honestly hope that this option actually exists in the wild as I have my second G2 on it's way
Lastly I'll add that my wife's G2 does not exhibit this issue when I enter a few paras of text, but that could just be chance. She uses her G2 for calls and the occasional text - again, possibly supporting the notion that more casual users just don't get exposed to this issue, OR, that there are plenty of G2's that don't have this issue. For sure, given the frequency of postings on many forums,there are plenty that do.

idk if I've really understood every post in this thread but from what I've understood is while using phone for a long time and heavy tasking the touch goes crazy and starts doing stuff on it's own, so I have my G2 since 2 days have been badly using it 45 mins of asphalt 8 non stop then web browsing for 5 mins and 30 mins of ebook reading (45+5+30=70 mins) I have my phone on since 70 mins no stop dint turn it off even for a second I tried every possible thing stated in this thread specially the quick memo which I also saw on YouTube and I don't have those issues I did had those kind ofa issues in my xperia sp few months ago but a custom ROM and also a offical firmware update had fixed it so I am pretty sure it's software related, don't mind me if I said something wrong as I dint go through the thread thoroughly.

Sounds like you have a "perfect" G2. I honestly hope that a good percentage of G2's are in that category. It's a totally awesome phone!
I can't replicate this issue either with Quickmemo or anything. I've seen mentions about it before but just haven't noticed it myself. I'm sure I would notice it straight away if my device behaved like that because I am super sensitive to stuff like that.
I'm on the international one.

I would consider myself a moderate user, I play games but not too many graphic intensive games and for periods of 30min to 1 hour at a time. I also usually stop when my phone gets to 40*C. I have yet to see this issue occurring on my phone. I haven't had any funky scrolling or texting yet. I have an LG-D801 bought through Wind Mobile (I think it's identical to T-mobile variant).
The following is my Touch Firmware Version:

I have a pretty minimal bunch of apps installed, and yet when I pull the notification shade down, there is lots of stutter, and seconds-long delay when I try and swipe a notification away. As I use the shade to manage my incoming notifications all day long, this is extremely frustrating on such a new phone.
Anyone else finding this? Any ideas?
Yes me too and it's typical Samsung. Going back to pixel.
I have weird lag on notification and facebook until I take out the accessibility service like enpass autofill. once i have done that, everything runs smoothly.
Same here - I did uninstall a bunch of game and other apps, and since then the problem has gone. Phew. Kinda annoying it's really difficult to pinpoint what app is causing the issue...

As I use the shade to manage my incoming notifications all day long, this is extremely frustrating on such a new phone.
Anyone else finding this? Any ideas?

YES! Having the same issue with notification shade and also the multitasking view when flipping through apps. I can't figure out what's causing it. For me changing screen resolution fixes it every time until it starts happening again.
I don't have any accessibility services running so not sure that's it. Anybody have any ideas of culprits? I have quite a few apps installed but not sure what could be causing this issue
Same here.
No lag at all.
I wonder how many people experience these things have rooted or something?
I've not had any issues with my S8 since I've had it.
Very strange.
Everyone has different apps, data and usage. You could give me your phone and I would wipe and use it and it would lag. That's the reality
Same problem and same resolution : switching performance profile via edge pan
I just got an update on Verizon S8 - the red tint fix or whatever but so far this has fixed my stutter problem. I'm hoping it lasts but by now I would have seen stutter and it's still very smooth. Crossing my fingers
Bittersweetly glad to see others are having the same issue. I first noticed it when I upped the screen res from FHD to QWHD, so I switched back and that seemed to help for a few days. But, it did creep back. I performed a factory reset, but I don't think that's a permanent fix, either. Occasional reboots seem to stave it off, too. I would really like to get to the heart of the problem. FWIW, I'm on a Snapdragon S8+ on T-Mobile, unrooted. Outside this hiccup, really enjoying the phone.
anyone noticed that when you swipe up to the app drawer, there is a hint of stutter/lag? Thats the only annoying thing for me at the moment.. Everything else seems to be ok!!
If your phone is rooted and you have a custom kernel running, you can see why this happens. Install kernel auditor and drag down the status bar, you can see that the cpu goes up a bit. If you increase the minimum cpu (both big and little) to 1 value higher than what you saw when you dragged it down before then this should fix the issue however I assume it will affect battery life but not sure to how much, you'll have to do some testing.
