My HD2, randomly and (fortunately) sporadic, have a strange problem:
when I unlock the device and the start screen appear, the HD2, open, close, scroll, type, change and so on... without I touching the screen. This problem hold for 5 or 10 seconds... after that the device working good.
Any ideas?
Do you have a screen Protector on the phone? I had this problem too after installing a brando screen protector.

I have no screen protector, but I wanted to know if grease of the finged can influence the touching...

Do you have a cat? Is it both alive and dead at the same time?

Not sure about grease but perhaps some moisture?
What's the temperature outside at your location? Is the screen working fine at home or wherever it's warm enough?
This problem has been reported lots of times, btw.
i also have this problem, when i'm outside sometimes.. at temperatures below 0 degrees... ?

I have this problem sporadically, but has only ever happened after I hang up a call!
I have this problem in most of the case when i wakeup the phone from the standby... independently from the ambient temperature, but... maybe... dependant from the pressure/grease of the finger.
is there a way to calibrate the screen? sometimes feel the click is not accurate.
no, these screens should not need calibration anyway. If you're talking about the click being off a little on the home screen I have that as well, but it seems to be limited to the Live Wallpapers. If its off by alot you should send it back for replacement.
when i click the dot, sometime the search box pop up. the dot is above the search botton
dot? what dot?

I think he means the dots at the bottom of the screen to move from one screen to another on the Home launcher. The dot(s) is/are right above the search button on the bottom right of the screen.
oh, yeah that does not sound normal. try restarting and if the issue persists you mgiht want to consider sending it in.
I've noticed sometimes random touch events happen, I'll touch something, and something else gets activated more than half the screen away.

are you sure you aren't touching another part of the screen?
Sometimes the palm of my hand touches the bottom left of the screen and that will cause random touch events.
You need to touch slightly above the dot. Otherwise your finger is very close to the google search soft key.

I know for fact that sometimes I DO touch other parts of the screen like with my palm, etc by accident. however there have been cases where this wasn't happening and I still have miss touch events.
Example. I was holding my phone with my fingers in landscape with my left hand, and using only the pointer finger of my right hand to touch something in the middle top of the screen, at which point the phone pulse vibrated and the quick search screen popped up.
I posted to the google link outlining the different events that I have noticed. Multitouch would fix point averaging between somewhere you're accidentally touching and where you intended to touch. This however isn't the only thing going on, as I do believe there is some random strangeness occurring. I never had any such issues with my G1.

it happens to me,too, i thought it is caused by my palm touched the edge of the screen when i clicked using finger, but it is not. when i restart the phone, it,s gone.

yes. that's the dot.
I read from another reviewer, he said the sensor of the soft key is located a little above the icon for the key. this may cause the problem.

This messes up pretty much everyone I hand my phone to look at/play with. Its fine if you're aware, but it does show a sign of less refinement in a device that would have been nearly 100% free of hardware design flaws.
I feel the same way, especially with the soft-buttons and the "p" key in portrait mode. Last night after walking a bit outside my key-presses were atleast an inch off.....I attributed that to my fingers being a little staticky.
Othertimes my fingers just never work on the screen for a few seconds, rubbing my fingers together fixes this problem.
Something to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing I guess
I find that sometimes my fingers wrap around the phone and just touch the front edge of the screen while holding it, causing random key presses. I guess I'm still used to holding the wider and less sensitive Touch HD.
During a call
When a call is in progress, a shade covers the Phone dialer’s onscreen buttons to prevent accidental taps. Only the Keypad and End Call buttons are active.
Well for some strange reason this is no longer the case with my HD2, the shade is no longer there and all buttons are active without having to pull down which is annoying the hell out of me as I keep pressing random buttons with my cheek, anywhere in settings to turn this back on? I cant find it grrrrr!!!!

Have you installed BsBTweaks? If so, you've de-selected the Phone Slide Cover option.
Nope, no bsb tweeks, its really odd, and i cant find it on the settings page, oh well, was due another hard reset anyway!
Do you have screen protector? . If yes, take it out. And your problem is solved . Plz notify me . If you have a screen protector its not necessary, it will not correct your problem to make hard reset. If not..then we will what we can do for you
I have a different problem? When I make or receive a call as soon as I accept, the screen goes dark and I cannot see the display. I can tap any button and then it shows the display. Can I change that to c the display all the time? On my iPhone, it would go dark when I place the phone to my ear, but once I removed the phone from my ear, the display would be there. Thanks!

Man, do you have a screen protector yes or no ?. Because i had the same problem. Look mate, in the HTC there are two sensors. It is on the left as you watch the phone. Sometimes the screen protector becomes dirty, then this brings problem to the sensors. So, if you have screen protector please remove it, so i guess that it will work like the Iphone after. When you have the phone at your ear, the screen becomes black. When you remove it from your ear the screen appears. Did you understand me ?. If you dont have screen protector then we will see. Plz notify me.

Antonios76: Thank you very much for trying to help me and providing the information.
I do not have a screen protector on my HD2. I also keep my screen very clean, too.
I just read yet another review of the Epic where one of the reasons they talked sh!t about the EPIC was because of the bottom buttons don't stay lit the entire time the screen is on. This is a SUPER easy fix.... should anyone want to change this, it will take 10 seconds tops:
Goto settings > sound&display > keyboard timeout and change it to "Same as Screen timeout"
BAM! Problem solved. I almost wish Samsung had done this from the factory as the default. Oh well.

Great! Glad someone could use the info...
Thanks so much, i would have never guessed that as setting for the hardware keyboard would effect the capacitive buttons!
Thanks
Thanks, added to my blog and tips for Epic page I'm just starting on..

Beautifully simple,
Steve
It's seriously stupid that they didn't put a non-lighting image on the front of these. They could have had the stenciled outline of the buttons there so they were visible even when not lit up.
Woot. Nice find spiicy. That just made the Epic a little more Epic
Oooo much appreciated

Yeah thanks for sure! I also had no idea that these capactive touch buttons would be tied to the keyboard. I had my keyboard timeout set to like 3 seconds, because once I start typing I dont need to see anymore usually. That explains why those buttons wouldnt stay lit for long enough!
Cheers!
glad i found this thread! thanks again.
OMG I can't believe people didn't know this by now...
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
yeah i did this the first day i got my epic since i heard so many complaints about it before hand, lls, its funny how people can cry about it and not even look through the settings
Ok, just pointing out this isn't strictly true. Doing as the OP suggests keeps the buttons lit as long as a touch action keeps the screen alive, the button lights will still time-out before the screen for any other actions that keep the screen on. Like e-book readers, video player, games, extended typing in any app, timers, alarm clocks, etc (in cases where touching the screen isn't required).
What's odd is that the buttons aren't tied to either the screen or the keyboard. Since I'm used to where they are now I'd rather just have an option to keep those lights always off.
Battery Usage
Does anyone know how much battery usage the keyboard light consumes?
Someone should make a screen protector with the icons screened onto it.

+1 internets for you. Quick, patent it too.
I totally agree on that screen protector idea, even though the second before you even posted some asian probably stole it and already has a patent for it somehow.
All in all though, IDK How much of a battery impact the hardware keyboard would use being on all the time, but to be honest, now that I've had the phone for a week+, I don't really need to know where they are, I already have it memorized. So I just said the hell with it and put my keyboard backlight back to 3 seconds again.
Has anyone noticed that their screen is picking up "clicks" without actually touching the screen?
on occassion my screen will detect a button click even if i haven't actually touched the screen. It's starting to get annoying, but I don't know if that's just the way the phone is, or if i'm too used to a capacitive screen rather than a heat sensitive one.
i had this happen a few times. not enough to bother me that much. it happens sometimes when my finger is hovering really close to the screen, like i'm getting ready to press on it but not yet because i'm still reading whatever it is on the screen, and then it ends up clicking it anyway. i think its happened a total of 3 times for me. 2 other times though, i've had the screen do double taps when i was just swiping around. trying to scroll up and down on a webpage and it registered as zooming in. i did do some zooming in and out a few seconds prior so i think for some reason it was "stuck" on double tap mode or something. had to switch the screen off and on to fix it.

yea it does the same thing for me as well. I sometimes go to press a letter and the letter gets pressed twice. it's really annoying. i'm hoping that if i buy a screen protector it will get better but i'm betting that I'm gonna have to battle with LG's terrible customer service.
Never happened to me. The screen (as with every other smartphone I have had) doesn't react unless I'm actually clicking. Even if I touch the screen with the SLIGHTEST touch I can do, it doesn't react. Which is good, no problem reacting when I actually click.
I guess it might have something to do with my fingers being hard as metal due to guitar playing or something.
On mine it seems to get worse as the screen gets oily. If it starts to wig out, I wipe down the screen and that usually solves the problem for a couple days.
When my screen gets overly sensitive i turn the screen on and off again. Usually fixes it.

Maybe i'm just crazy, but when i spend this much on a phone I shouldn't have to turn the screen on and off constantly to get it to work.
Hopefully LG realizes this is a problem and rushes out an update...

it happened to me... not only that the screen freezzes from the ghost clicks... the clicks are on middle of the screen staying... for example by playing Plants vs Zombies 2... the screen doesn't react at all.
I think that has something to do with the "smart-stay" or with the screen time-limit.
... plus of that... the phone gets really hot at that time.
any solutions?... or back to guarantee?
Greets.
Never happened to me, however I know exactly what you're talking about from using cheap Chinese tablets. Therefore I suggest getting it fixed or exchanged.

Same here, works this way, slightest touch wont react, actual press would.
