it's smearing because whenever you see black on the phone the pixels are completely off, so when you swiped quickly in app drawers it's the phone not being able to turn on the pixels on quick enough so you see smearing.

Thanks for the reply. But is it software or hardware problem

[Q] Has XDA become unusable through your Chrome on the S4? (Rapid refreshes on scroll

On my S4, the chrome browser constantly refreshes XDA any time I scroll the page or interact with it in any way.
I had to use the app just to post this thread.

The app is better anyway
I don't like the app personally. But that's not really the point. I'll use it for now.
I'd like to know if anyone else is encountering this issue?

Yep, exactly how you describe it. Reason # 5362 why I don't use the phone or the app (I never used the app) to get to this site. I just recently stopped getting warnings from my anti-virus on my PC from this site so I'm trying not to rock the boat too bad.

Please send us an email to [email protected] so that we can try to find the cause of this crash and get back to you as soon as possible.
That's one of the first things I disabled, it's very buggy & runs in the BG all the time.

Which firmware are you on?
Dial 3845#*802# and test the leds.

Using Whatsapp to configure the LED settings or using something like Lightflow? I had an issue with my Lightflow preferences which I solved by keeping the Notification Light toggle on but disabling all of the specific notifications LG set. It almost seems like a conflict between Whatsapp (or other app) and the stock LG Notification Light settings.

Well not bothered about an app controlling the lights just want whatsapp Facebook and twitter to use the led. They won't work regardless what I do. Its really odd.

Yeah its really annoying me. I have no idea what to do as a factory reset doesn't fix the problem and all settings are correct.

Hi guys,
For those who want to use led notification, here are what you should do:
1. Make sure your WA is the most updated
2. Go to WA->Setting->Notifications->Light
3. Choose your desire light color, only red, green, and blue color you can chose cause that the colors supported by G2

Very Odd, just a guess maybe something related to root!!
Why not take the phone back and get a replacement

Distortion lines when taking pics and vids

This is a problem I sometimes get distortion lines when I'm taking pictures and videos. I notice this during my videos plus it actually shows up when viewing them in the gallery.

The sensor does not react so well to fluorescent light in low-light situations.
Does it also happen on a different camera app?
It generally happens when I move the camera from down to up quite quickly or sometimes just with my hand moves a little bit and yes the same happens with other camera apps

I have this problem.

Some notifications note working on lock screen.

I've noticed some apps like Facebook and weather bug, if you access their notifications from the lock screen it won't take you to the app like others like the stock messaging app would, you have to unlock the phone THEN it will take you to the app
