None on mine... Usually in my experience they are there from the beggining.

Well t-mobile replaced my phone in the store no questions asked. Very quick and simple and the new one has no stuck ones I checked at the counter lol. I love tmobile.

Awesome. They replaced mine as well for me being paranoid about it getting to 110 degrees.... its normal though...
I did forget I rooted though after I switched out. Hopefully I don't get a charge...

Stuck Green Pixel.

i have the most ANNOYING problem ever. and yes thats a GREEN STUCK PIXEL ON THE SCREEN. Had it since i turned on my Vision. Anyone been able to successfully get rid of this? i just might send this one back and get a refurbished one. thats how annoyed i am with this. Just besides this damn pixel, the phone is flawless. i even have a good hinge i don't want to switch and end up having a bad one.

Never seen that on a phone but you can try using a non-scratch cloth to 'massage' it out.

Wow are you kidding? And this is the first device ive ever recieved that had this honestly.

Not kidding. Once I thought I had one on my own monitor, but it turned out to be a spec of dirt. :lol:

Most stupid S2 owner ever?...

I just lost my second Galaxy S 2 at the weekend.
I lost my first one 3 days after receiving it... managed to get money for a replacement via house insurance and then lost my new one.. seriously... imagine how bad I feel.
Some git out there is running round with a £500 phone with a custom rom and all my apps....
Totally depressing.
Pretty sure I'm one of the only people in the world that has lost 2 Galaxy S 2s since release date.

all that and u didnt install any anti theft software ?
ie getting the persons number and location

Maybe you should take more care of your things...?

Did you sign into your samsung mobile account? If yes, try http://www.samsungdive.com/ You can locate your phone with that service

i got home drunk and couldn't think coherently... think the phone was off as well as I tried to phone it right away.
Also... in a panic I changed my Gmail password and Facebook passwords to make sure when the device was back on even with a different SIM they weren't synching and accessing my accounts.
In other words... I'm totally f*****
sad times... and yes.. I like the phone so much.. I'll get another one.

Buy a cheap and cheerful phone for taking with you when you go out drinking.

I only know, that it's already implemented into the Galaxy S II, so you can use both of them. I don't know, if samsung dive is relating to SIM or IMEI, IMEI would be very nice , then our thread opener will probably eventually find his device

i want in on the action too...

Takes some courage to write here and admit you managed to lose two phones in such a short period of time. Good luck with the third one.

when i go out drinking etc.. i leave my main phone in the house and take out a cheaper.. but still good phone(taking pics n stuff).. so if i do lose it.. its no big deal.
I suggest you do the same knowing that you have already lost two of them.

Sorry to hear that man, that sucks.

[Q] LG G2 Screen Problem

I am really frustrated with my LG G2 because of the screen problem I encountered. The screen goes up and down, it happens when I over using the phone. I went on LG service center to reset my phone. still no luck, the problem is still there. They think its a software problem. I hope LG will release new software update on G2

To me that seems more like a hardware problem, not a software one.
Can you reproduce the problem at will?
Dude, I think you have a lemon...
Good luck!

It happened when i charged my phone with the screen is on and i always reading manga. maybe the screen is too sensitive. Yea i think this is hardware issue

I have used mine while connected and charging... Never had a problem with that.

Hopefully you're still in your exchange period...swap it out

You are running it completely stock? And you've done a factory reset? If so, it sounds to me like your phone is defective. These phones are so new it should still be under warranty, right?

Just got the same problem as OP last night and I've used it only for 1 month,so now I send my phone to LG service center and they said it was a hardware problem not sure which part but will reply here soon when I got my phone back and tell you all what's the problem... :angel:

Got a similar problem. I am unsure if I want to send it back for exchange or just keep it, as there are plenty of reports of owners exchanging G2's just to get another with the same problem. Looks to me to be a software issue - at least with my G2 - as I can get past it by just turning the screen off/on.
Let us know how your G2 turns out.

Lol just swapped it out. We will see how the new one does but so far way way better. Seriously my phone was horrible. I read and read thread after threads today and my case seemed way worse then everyone else's. Like most people's was tolerable, this was intolerable. I'd say 6 out of 10 times u turned on the screen it be messed up.
I showed the best buy mobile guy and he said without a doubt there's a problem. The best place for me to show him was the app drawer, if u held ur finger on the screen it would bounce and randomly select apps, we tried the demo unit and it worked perfectly.
Ill keep u updated on how this baby does.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Yikes - sorry to hear this.
I wondered if my first G2 was worse b/c I aggressively set it up right from the start: disabling apps I don't want, installing a bunch of apps, etc. On G2 #2, I didn't do that and although I've seen this issue surface on my new G2, it has been just a couple of times.
You need to use whatever phone you get the most enjoyment out of. The G2 undeniably has a software glitch that causes this PIA issue. Too bad it didn't work out for you. Good luck with your Note.
I hope LG addresses this issue SOON!!

Thank you, I hope it works out for you guys and they fix it. I love the phone and want it to work but it just isnt gonna happen right now. Im just gonna cancel my upgrade and I guess eat the $35 restocking fee which I think is crap but oh well.
Ill keep my eyes on the forum and may return to it if they fix the phone cause im not gonna use my upgrade right now. Besides this glitch the phonw is a beast. Good luck...

This happened to a few people here in Thailand. We are posting the issues on a group in facebook.
My iPhone 4s used to bounce all over the place when plugged in to charge.
My G2 hasn't had any hardware issues at all yet. I've had it going on 7 months now. Works perfectly.
My advice is that if you get a replacement or repair and it does it again, never get another LG product again. Just like me an Apple. I'm done with them. There's a guy here who wants his old Note 2 back. I know a guy who had 3 motherboards replaced on his Note 2. The last one broke the screen as the phone was swollen. There's no way of knowing. Its just the luck of the draw with these things.
When you get a really good phone, keep it and use it until it disintegrates. As long as this G2 is fine, I won't part with it for anything.
And yes. This is a hardware issue.

Maybe this can be replaced by the warranty service.

bring it to the service center.. but you will handle the repair.. if your liable for the damage

I'm obviously going to take it back when I can get a ride to the store, but other people are having this same issue. Any ideas on what's causing it?

defective touch panel. pretty rare but not unheard of. the hardware is simply defective. bring it in and get it exchanged. I've had mine 2 weeks and no issues, nor am I planning to have any. real solid phone.

i have the same problem, and this is my second device with this same isue, i contac LG they said to make a factory rest amd is this don't work, i can change in the store or send to them.

Shouldn't you have a 12 month warranty? Even if it has to be sent to LG for repair!

Were you on the Quick Memo?
