WiFi deathgrip

Has anyone noticed that when you have the phone in landscape mode and you have the keyboard out and you are typing you loose wifi signal? Then remove left hand and signal comes back? I will have to make a video when I get home and have a camera to do so. Anyone else?

Your holding it wrong lol

I tried this and I did lose one bar of wifi. I also tried with the keyboard closed by covering the top of the phone with my hand, and also lost a bar of wifi. But it was not a deathgrip issue where signal was instantly lost. Guess this just means the wifi antenna is on the top of the G2, and obstructing it has an effect.

Defiantly not holding it wrong...and not apply hardly any pressure. I didn't notice it at all at home...but at my in laws. Possibly not a very strong wifi signal but makes 100% difference when I have my hand over the top of the phone. I've had an email waiting to send and as soon as I removed my hand the email sent. Will post video hopefully tonight showing how little pressure is applied and how strongly the signal is affected.

I don't lose any bars from my wifi. That's odd though.

is it a hardware problem or is it i installed something that my screen will be like this...

I dont remember that i press it too hard... But why they keep on adding each day...

On my laptop on got frustrated and pressed really good on it and the lines showed up. And it yeah they multiplied. I'm outta ideas to fix it. Maybe get into recovery and see if the lines are still there.

This might be caused by either connecting Ur phone to a faulty charger or a faulty laptop(power surge). It happened to me once. By then I was using a Nokia e75. And I was charging it at a friend's place.it was connected to his laptop which was using a charger which had a low voltage than what the pc needed, whenever the laptop was disconnected from the power source it just goes off, reason being the charger is unable to charge the battery. So the electricity went off and came back and before I realized, there was that line on the screen. It was just a line at first but continued to spread. So I guess u have to change the screen or LCD .

Does your G2 rattle when you shake it?

Only noticed this today. The rattle noise seem to come from the upper side of the device, maybe the camera or the sim card area.
I've searched a bit on the net, and saw that the nexus 4 and original Optimus G also suffer from this problem...

Yes it does. They all do. I believe it's a sensor inside the camera. It's supposed to move.

ok so then its not cause i have the vs980 honestly no phone should have loose parts id take it back if you can and see if you have the same problem?

Its the optical image stabilization that is shaking i can confirm it all devices that have this shake!

Mine does. It is very soft and faint. Its the OIS. In all variants.

Yup. Normal. Every camera phone I've every owned does this. I have the VS980 Verizon. It's the camera sensor. It's normal.

I have the Sprint version and it does not rattle no matter what plane I shake it in and no matter how hard or soft I shake it. If it is normal to rattle than I guess I have the broken one. However, I am NOT taking it back for one that does rattle.

My gnex rattle really bad. Lg g2 not. Yes it s camera but I think is rather focus particle than ois

alright yea i can confirm it... it makes a very feint sound i couldnt really hear at first due to backround noise haha sorry if i caused confusion
VS980

This thread takes the cake for being the mother of all OCD thread.

LG Flash gives you IMEI while attempting to flash a ROM if I remember correctly.

Type #*06# to get your device's IMEI.

Sometimes they put it into the SIM Cover, the tiny thing holding the SIM. SIM Tray. No? (Or that was just the iPhone..., can't look now, using it)

You can plug usb mouse on micro usb adapter and check your imei.

turn off your device.
Press and hold volume up + power + volume down. A "Hardware key control mode" will appear.
Your imei is displayed don't above the barcode label.

Great, i didn't know this menu, thank's.

hello Zombie,
Thanks you are right, i found the sticker inside the back cover.
I misread your response thinking it was outside the back cover.
by the way, is it true that if the LG G2 main circuit board is swapp or change, the default imei number will also be changed ?

I Wish I could take off the back cover and remove the battery from mine. Not installing a custom ROM because of this.
I boot Looped my Note 2 a couple times had to battery pull. I had tested quite a few ROMs on it.

if each board comes out with its own imei then yes if the board is switched then the imei also changes, I'm not too sure what's the process for the imei to be put into a phone or how they assign it
