LG G2 won't wake up on incoming calls - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I got a stock T-Mobile LG G2 (802). My screen stays black when somebody's calling me. I can hear the ring tone and the led is flashing but thats it. When i manually wake up the phone I still don't see the dialer and have to pull down the Quicksetting bar (or ow to call it?) and tap 'answer call' there. No need to tell you that I lose most of my calls that way.
Can't seem to find a solution on the web. Anyone else experiences this problem?
Thanks

Didn't have this,don't know how to help you but for now you can activite the incomeing call answer in setting under general in gesture option.
Hope this help til someone help you.

Yeah me too. Stock KitKat d802 20b with root + twrp + soundmod.
Really bad bug imho.
Anyone?

Please people... This should be quite easy to test.
Just make yourself a call and check for screen wakeup delay.
For me it is 2 or 3 seconds before the display is on.
On AOSP this is not present

I have done a clean install of stock kitkat (that one with modded kernel to support recovery and root), and the problems still arises. Maybe:
1) you have a different software (jb? Aosp?)
2) you dont classify as lag the 2 seconds delay
3) the hw variant may count?? (I have intl d802)
4) you lie xD
Is there anyone here who flashed kitkat on international d802 with original kdz file AND is affected from this bug?

On t mobile? Have you tried disabling the feature that allows you to hold your phone to your ear to pick up phone calls?

Problem partially solved on my t-mobile 802.
The kitkat update i got on monday the 25th of march was the solution. There still is a small delay of 2 seconds before the caller id shows on the screen but thats nothing compared to the complete blackness pre-update.
Anyone else got this problem solved this way?
Off-Topic: Other improvements I noticed 'Knock on' works 4/5 times instead of 2/4. (Way) better power management and the typing is more responsive as is the phone as a whole.

Yeah +1 for the improvements, but regarding knockon there is still some road to do before it can be considered as a replacement for hw key.

Same here, it delays 2 or 3 seconds before the screen shows up... Really annoying!
LG G2 D802 International.
Do you guys know what App is in charge of the Incoming Calls in the G2?
Durocks.

D802 here, had KitKat since the official ROM launched and upgraded to a new version last night. Phone wakes up on every call on both versions.

[Q] N4 home screen button

hi all,
i've got my nexus 4 few days ago and recently i realize there's some censor thingy on the home screen button...
anyone had encounter the same thing (above picture)? is that a defect on the graphic or?
any advice or solution i can get?
thanks !
Looks like a software glitch.
I would try a factory reset and reflash the rom (if you had any).
Does it happen anywhere else too, or is it just the navigation bar?

Strange. I'd try out efrant's guide to return the nexus completely to stock as in reflashing the stock ROM.
Might work better than just wiping the data partition.
Just wanted some followup on this: did you figure out a fix for this? Also, did this happen after a 'wet' application of a screen protector?
Possibly a hardware issue? RMA it

do you have any screen issues you can report back on before and after update?
I was seeing some colour blur when scrolling the settings screen before update, that seems to have been substantially reduced now.

Hi Guys,
I have a big problem.
My find doesn't ring when in standby (after pushing the power butto to lock it).

Any suggestions?

May be a hardware malfunction. Have you tried to contact the seller? I'll double check all the settings in case something got toggled off, but if you've tried other firmwares with full wipes then it should have reset whatever the problem was.. You have tried doing a full wipe/factory reset correct?
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4
I thought it could be related to having messed up with profiles and/or sound settings... but...yeah...having tried other firmwares with prior factory resets... a hardware malfunction is definitely a possibility.

Knock on ?!?!?!?!?! Double tap to wake display

Hi guys, is it possible that there is still a way to include this function in our galaxy s4 with our kernel etc? There is a possibility in the future to include this feature? THX

I am quite positive this feature requires a specific hardware that is not present in our S4 devices, but if I'm wrong and it can be done, it will be great.
I bet the hardware is there because web have the tap to top feather in which you tap the phone and it scrolls to the top of whatever you're looking at

Sorry for not found more on such short notice, tapatalk isn't very good operable.
This kernel was my favorite , it has touch to wake (with set timeout) , also had slide to wake but lately removed
And you can also search "Siyah kernel" which has slide to wake if I remember correctly

Hope when adam builds the new kernel we can tell him about this and if possible he will implement this.
Wait for ktoonsez to implement it in his kernel which will be released this very weekend.
It has all functions, Sweep2Wake, DoubleTap2Wake, Sweep2Sleep, etc. :good:

I actually doubt this is possible im pretty sure the xperia's have BUILT IN HARDWARE to enable this.... if its incorporated into our s4's i would assume the screen would have to never go into off mode so that it can sense our taps...and that would probably drain battery im not an expert but thats from my knowledge

actuelly the s4 has feature that you need to put your palm on the screen and then of the screen and then the screen shows you info. So that means it can be modifed so that it wakes your phone. And btw I had galaxy s2 before with custom kernel and it had a feature that you can wake the screen with a swipe

LG G6 Vibration stopped.

I seemed to have this issue with an old V10 but I thought maybe after 2 years the motor just got old. This phone is still new and I have lost all vibration function. Has this happened to anyone else yet or does anyone know if there is something I can do to confirm a defect/fix?

Are your sure it's not an setting or something software related? If a factory reset does not resolve then you likely have an hardware problem. I had a hardware issue on my G5 like that. Motor didn't work for weeks, then one day I dropped it worked fine ever since.

Yes. Or at least I believe so as when battery saver engages the finger print sensor also stops providing vibration feedback.

launch lg g6 (LG-H871 rev 1.0) - opening weekend. Vibrate function completely died yesterday.
Using vibrate app to test - no results on manual press. shaking the phone yielded no results. Gonna get a replacement.
Glad to know Im not the only one getting this issue
Did you manage to find a solution? Mine just started doing the same. Vibration stopped, checked with vibration test apps, booted in safe mode, factory reset and nothing. I'd rather not send the phone for repair and warranty is out of the question.
Damn I'm not happy to see this thread. Mine seemed to have stopped today. Not sure why or how. I'm gonna have to do some digging and see what's going on
Mine just started the same thing. No vibration at all!
Same issue here. Vibration stopped working, no way to get it to work again.
Mine also has stopped. No feedback from the keyboard, fingerprint sensor or vibration from calls/texts.
I plan on reaching out to LG today to see what I can figure out.
Anybody have any luck on finding a fix yet?
Can you guys please also share your model number- European, US, single or dual sim, bootloader unlocked or not, rooted or not, any particular action after which vibration stopped working.
Thanks in advance.
I know that this is really going to help anyone, but someone on Reddit had the same problem, then it started working again.
