Okay, so the last few days, I have some problems with my LG G2.... it's on the stock rom, with root and G2 Xposed...
So the first days, everytime I rotated the device, it said "Quickremote has stopped" and when I launched a LG app it said "Apps update has stopped".... Luckily, this stopped after a day, so no big deal for me.... Then, since 2 days ago, my phone doesn't vibrate, and the LED notification light is only working with Knock-On..... Now, since today, only the home button works..... Back button, recent button, menu button.... They all don't work....
Also, I've noticed everyday I've got a little more space free on my phone.... So I don't know what's going on, but it kinda seems like it's ripping itself apart....
I haven't rebooted my device, since I'm THAT scared of a bootloop.....
Can someone please help me?

This happens randomly about 5x a day. When I try to put my phone away (press red button) the screen turns off (like it should) but immediately turns back on again.... all on its own. The screen wont stay off so it drains my battery.
The only way to make it stop is to plug the phone into a charger. Eventually it stops... But, the problem comes back later in the day. Its a struggle I'm facing throughout the day... ugh!!
Any ideas? I've tried restarting, soft reset, taking the battery out for long periods of time... nothing works!
THX!
Couple of questions.
Has this been happening since the day you got it?
Are you using the stock battery?
Have you flashed a custom rom?
What apps have you installed?
Any damage to the phone?
Have you spilled any liquid on it?
Are any of the buttons (volume, windows key, home, etc.) possible stuck down?

It started doing this about a week or so ago. I have a Pandora, Shazam, pretty simple apps... nothing crazy.
Yes it is the stock battery.
I have not updated or installed any custom ROMS... although I am looking into it.
No Damage to the phone
No liquid damage
And I doubt the buttons are stuck... ive checked.
my first thought is that you have some app running that is waking up the phone. have you tried (i know it's a pain) uninstalling any apps you've added recently? When your phone wakes up is it locked as it should be?
yes, the phone is locked when it wakes itself up. I've tried uninstalling the very few apps I have installed... no luck. Do you think a ROM change my help? Been looking into installing the Kumor Rom. thx again
Hi. I have the same problem for almost 2 months. I have loaded 3 different roms but nothing changed. I dont know what to do
tmo replaed my batt
I had this same exact problem last month. Called TMO support and after a couple questions, the dude told me he would send me a new battery....I was skeptical, but thought hey, why not...got nothing to lose. I replaced the battery as soon as the new one arrived and the problem went away instantly! have not had this occur for a month(fingers still crossed). Like I said, I was skeptical, but the new batt worked for me. I didn't have to send back the old battery, so just for S&G's, I put the old batt back in and the problem returned after a full charge.....go figure. Call up TMO and see if you can get a new batt. BTW...my ROM is totally stock and only have CHT installed...no other 3rd party apps of any kind.
hmmm im calling them today. I'll let you all know what turns up!
To follow up...
I talked to a Tmobile rep (via their chat support on tmobile.com) and after answering a few questions I got them to send me a replacement phone. Although I'll have to pay for the shipping myself, I'm glad to know I wont have the issue anymore.
I'll let you all know if something else comes up.
I got my A7 and flashed the 4/17 rom right away, used it stock for a couple of days then installed dexters mod1.42 and for a day or two it worked fine. Then the menu key stopped working. sometimes it would work for an hour and then stop working again. I deleted the dexter mod, wiped cache and did factory reset when the key worked and everything was fine.
Then I did the bestialbub a7-gapps zipmod and everything worked great for 4-5 days then the same problem, no menu key. are there any known apps that may cause this problem? I am waiting for the menu key to work again so I can try again, are there any settings or other mods that will get me the market but leave me close to stock.
steamtv support just had me do a reset and flash latest firmware and that doesnt help much.
Please, I love the A7 when it's working and need some help.
Thanks,
Billy
Does this happen when the back of the device is hotter than warmer? I've had this happen often when the days are warmer and hotter. That's the reason why because the heat affects parts of the wiring. The other solution is to use Button Savior (an app on the market).
Ytain
The menu smart key comes and goes no matter the temp. It's not working now, sometimes it will work for a little while and then stop again. I can't wipe/reset without the memu key. I want to get it back to stock to see if it's a hardware problem then take it from there. Any suggestions anyone?
billy
same here (I thought, I'm the only one encounter this kind of problem). My Aunt gave me A7 as present. after 2 days, all the smart keys malfunctioned. it works fine for 10 min after that it wont work anymore. I've installed button savior for remedy. I think ytain is right, A7 has problem when the back of the device becomes hot.
Hello,
I had the same issues with some of the keys of the keyboard. but at first it started only happening when the battery was low but recently it was happening all the time.
This was making my life difficult as i write some sms to my friends and it's quite annoying.
I left my phone untouched and went to repair center of my provider to show what was happening. Put my phone there for repair and in the same day went there to pick up the phone good as new.
The issue is that the stripes connecting from the keyboard to the cellphone were a bit fragile and probably broke or it wasn't making any contact whatsoever. Now i have the phone working 100%. no problem.
Hope this helps
Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my A4g.
Basically, once in a while, the screen starts to press on its own. Usually towards the middle of the screen, so if i go to text message, keys such as "F" and "S" get rapidly hit on their own! Turning off and on the screen helps fix it, but sometimes i need to restart the phone altogether.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on Gingerbread with Unlocked bootloader and rooted but this problem has been around since i got the phone.
we'll need to know a little bit of information on your phone.
are you running stock software? (for instance, i'm using Ninja Speed Freak 0.4.5 and Faux's custom OC kernel)
have you dropped your phone recently?
has your phone gotten any contact with water recently?
do you have any suspicious third party apps installed?

OMG! its like a spirited game!!!
Sometime it happens to me, the screen to become unresponsive..
And i turn of the screen and on and its gone.
The thing happened at you it happens only with raindrops.
And rarely FP sensor dont work, so i reboot..
Are you stock? Or on a custom rom probably ?
As i wrote in OP, i'm running on the AT&T Unlocked bootloader 2.3.4 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
This problem isn't due to the rom, it happened to me before the update too.
Ive only dropped this phone once since May and it was on carpet.
have you tried doing a factory reset? quick google search brought this up for me, but i'm not having the problem so i can't test it out myself for ya =\

That was the first method i tried 3-4 months ago with no luck.
I can't do that anymore because of the unlocked bootloader
Hi all,
I have a black S7 Edge International version (Dual Sim version). The phone as a whole has been working great. I have been having certain issues though, they don't happen very often. So I'm not sure if its related to certain apps I have or if it's an issue with the phone.
Each issue happened on a separate day.
First problem: The phone froze when I was editing a photo on Adobe Lightroom. This was the first time I was using the app, so I launched after installing it. I tweaked a photo and noticed the phone lagging. They it froze, and I couldn't do anything on the screen. Nothing worked until I did a hard reset. Afterwards, the problem didn't occur again, although I haven't tried Lightroom since, so maybe I should, to see if the problem is with the app. Does this happen often with lightroom? Or could this be a phone issue?
Second Problem: On another day I had my phone randomly start vibrating, like it was receiving a call. I had just made three calls to my wife, and thought she was calling back. However, there was no call notification, and nothing on the drop down menu. There was also no ringtone. The phone kept vibrating, and wouldn't stop. I pressed the power button and reset, then the problem stopped.
Final problem: Today, I've been using the phone fine. However I was playing angry birds and then pressed the home button, so the game was still on it's memory, and being multitasked. I used the phone again a few times, then I noticed on the bottom that the game launcher circle (was on the bottom of my homescreen), even though the game was not open (still in the multitask window - I assumed) I tried to click the multitask window, and the button lit up, but nothing happened. The multitask window had frozen. Again it required a restart, and now it's working.
Given that I'm having these three issues (none have repeated themselves though), is this just the phone needing an OTA update, early phone bugs, specific 3rd party app issues, or is it a more serious problem?
Should I take the phone to Samsung and ask for a replacement, or should I wait it out?
Would love some advice from people, and would also like to hear if you've had similar problems.
Current firmware I'm on: G935FXXU1APB6
Thanks!
Does anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks!
I have the first problem on my phone.
But I didn't use adobe lightroom
and I've seen many user reported this problem in many different threads. it seen a known issue.
Thanks for that stone... Hopefully it's a bug... Would love to hear if anyone thinks that it requires a replacement... Also, i just found a dead pixel on the top corner of my phone... it's completely black...
Is that grounds for replacing the phone, or is samsung wishy washy about the whole thing?
I have the second problem; sudden vibrations with no reason, no app pending or anything else; I start to think it is associated with the Smart Alarm being activated (in Advanced settings).....
Anyway, really a bug, in fact the Smart Alarm and Smart Stay are known for having made other problems previously, but seems they didn't correct all the bugs.....

If there's a dead pixel I would return it.... There has been alot of people talking about freezing and rebooting... I've experienced too.... Most likely a software issue.... When I got the S6 last year my phone would reboot 3-5 times a day until a software update came out.... The continuous vibration I haven't heard anyone talk about... But if your still in you grace period I would get another phone for the pixels alone... Too nice and new to have to deal with that
Galaxy S7 edge
Hey, I have the same phone with the same firmware. I experienced the freezing right after I opened the camera from the lock-screen, it lasted for a few minutes and then went away. I'm waiting till Sunday to get the OTA and if I don't, I'm just going to update using Odin, considering how the firmware for the SM-G935FD and SM-G935F is the same.
Sounds good, thanks for the advice guys... I went to Samsung, and they said they would replace the phone for the dead pixel... Will take a week to arrive, but I'm just glad it's getting replaced...
I would return it immediately while it is within your return period.

Thanks Yerevan... I wanted to wait to see if I'd get an OTA update... Do you have the changelog for this firmware? What are the updates/improvements. THanks!
i mostly had camera freezes from lock screen and random reboots.... hopefully a software update will fix it
Hello guys,
I'm having two big problems since I bought the device (around 2 months ago).
1. My power button doesn't vibrate when I press it and I feel like it's "stuck". In the mayority of cases I can't even turn off my device and I have to use some app to do that.
2. I get random reboots during the day. It doesn't happen during a specific part of the day, but suddenly, when I'm playing or using social network, my device reboots and I can use it again after at least 15 minutes because it gets in bootloop for a very long time.
Can you help me?
Thank you!
Edit. My device is completely stock, no root and no custom rom ever installed.
That sounds like a possible hardware issue, especially if totally stock and you didn't change anything. For something like that I'd call support, it may need replacement which should be fine still being under warranty.
Just give a look at this post:

Are you sure you didn't turn experimental night mode on?
