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?

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.

i make my phone factory restore but the same problem appear..
Today at random a certaim part of my touchscreen reports two touches. If i touch there the screen responds as if I'm touching there and about half an inch below. To have an idea open the play store and go to an app. Where it says install, if i click there it also clicks the app pics. I trsted it with developer options to show screen touches. Two dots appear. Is this a bug or a phone that needs replacement?

It could be that phantom touch bug. Search for it. I have never experienced this in the VS980. Response seems a bit better on 12B. There was also an update regarding screen situations...
Hello,
I'm facing since one month ago a problem that's getting worse as I use my phone. At the beggining there was a small part of the screen which became unresponsive and often there were some random presses on that surface, but now the surface is like three times bigger and I can't use the navigation bar without rotating the screen 180 degrees. I've read about the problem, but I haven't seen any explanation. The weird reactions and the unresponsive part can be seen in the pictures I've just uploaded.

I have this happen to me daily lately, usually for me my phone reboots and screen is back up, but I'm worried it won't come back one of these days unfortunately. My bottom keys light up too, but screen just goes black. Occasionally my screen comes back on its own but usually needs a reboot

Can't help but notice that when I rotate my phone on any screen (it doesn't seem to matter) there's quite a delay for the screen to rotate 90 degrees -- is there any way to shorten this delay?

it has been the same for me with all my android phones at some point it gets really slow
Mine lags too when rotating. Sometimes I have to shake it to get the sensor to recognize it's rotated. Galaxy S8 snapdragon
