Knock On Feature Not Fully Working/Replacement Options - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All[emoji4],I have a 32Gb Model Sprint LG G2, I've had this device since late February, and its been performing fine, UNTIL NOW, the Knock On feature does not work fully at all, what I mean by it does not work fully is when I knock on the screen to turn it off it works, but when I knock to try and turn the screen on, there's no response, no matter what part of the screen I knock on, I still get the same results, I tried doing the Sprint Hidden Menu, I tried restarting my phone, and even did a factory reset, and I still get the same problem, I did the Motion Sensor Calibration, I turned off the Knock On feature, restarted my phone, turned back on the knock on feature, and you guessed it, still the same results, I'm really thinking of getting a replacement from the Sprint Store, any help, I will gladly welcome it.[emoji20]
On to my second question, If I go and get a Replacement from the Sprint Store, do they give me options to what device I want to replace for the G2, or do they give you a better performing G2? I'm also not the Primary Account Holder on Sprint, I'm on a plan called "The Sprint Advantage Program" and with me asking for a replacement phone, with me not being the Primary Account Holder, will this hinder me from proceeding to make a replacement?
Really appreciate any help and advice I can get.[emoji16]
UPDATE: THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED BY AN ZVD UPDATE.

Did you not knowing that Sprint have OTA ZVD a day or two ago? Its apparently updates the knock code. Its a known issue. Sometimes its work sometimes it won't.

Yep, and I kept checking for an update, and it says up to date, I also go to Firmware Update, and it says no firmware update. Hopefully it fixes this problem because AS OF RIGHT NOW, when I tested to see if anything was loose inside my phone, I gave it a little shake, and I hear something out of place, don't know if that's the cause.

Lock screen and Knock On Solution

Strangely, my phone stopped responding to knock on to wake the screen. When you pressed the hardware power button to wake the screen would immediately close. It would take about 10-15 tries to unlock the screen in that split second before it closed. To troubleshoot I flashed back to factory and I still had the same issue after the phone was allowed to sleep just a few minutes. I took the OTA, same problem.
I was ready to box it up and swap out, but decided to try one other thing. I went to the screen off effect and changed it to Simple. Everything worked fine after that. I switched it back to retro tv and it would take many more tries to wake the screen. apparently its some kind of software bug. Thought I'd pass the info on to anyone else having similar issues.
Apparently root apps that play with system files trigger the bug too, like greenify. So the bug isn't tied to one screen effect, just switching to another fixes it until you play with system files via flashing or root apps. Hopefully it's something they fix in the next update.
It seems if you flash or change any system files, it reverts back to the retro tv effect and the issue repeats until change to another transition.
So the knock on feature is supposed to be more reliable if I do this?

If you are suffering from the same software bug, it works. If you flash a mod or do anything that does a "updating android" on reboot, it reverts back to the default screen effect and the knock on becomes unreliable. After a deep sleep you can't wake it with a knock most of the time. Strange but saved me a trip verizon hell for a swap.
Wow!!! I can totally confirm that this is working! Thank you so much... I was getting to the point that I didn't really use the knock on feature due to the flakiness of it... Now it works flawlessly!

Glad it helped man. I restored my recovery,reflashed stock and took the ota before i found the bug. lol Works as advertised now.
Im getting the same problem with mine, but the retro screen switch to simple isnt solving the problem. Tsking so many tries and not being able to knock on is making the phone unusable.
Any other suggestions or off to Verizon? Im within the 14 days...

Make sure the sensor area to the right of the FF camera is clean. If you have a screen protector over it, you might want to pull it off and clean the area really good. If that sensor is blocked or not working, it will do the same thing whether or not you change the screen off settings. Could be a bad sensor and you may need to swap it out.
Tried cleaning it, no luck. Seems like its hw related. Off to vzw I go.

Can confirm this. Disabling retro worked originally, but after rooting and Greenify it's back.
Do I have to flash to stock to fix now? Or will Greenify uninstall do the trick?

Well, I tested it myself. Uninstalling Greenify does indeed fix the knock-on issue.
A shame, as I really liked that app. Boo Verizon/LG. Boo.....
Damn! I was wrong.
Still having this bug, but only from deep sleep.
Incredibly annoying, but I really don't want to Re flash. Any ideas.
I'm dying here....

Greenify or any root program that modifys system files has the possibility of triggering the bug. In my personal testing, after you change the screen off to something different after installing Greenify, it stops. I'm guessing the core issue is with the front sensor that disables knock on. A hardware software combination. Strangely even after flashing back to stock doesn't fix the bug. First deep sleep and it will return until you change that setting in screen off.

Flashed back to stock myself and the problem continued. I returned the phone for a new one yesterday (14 days) and for the moment I'm going to keep this one stock until the issue fleshes itself out.

Nothing seems to fully resolve this. Super annoyed I ever installed Greenify. Ugh.
I'm within my 14 days (I got it on Monday), but I purchased from letstalk (the $26 price mistake deal that lasted a few minutes). Does anybody know if I can just walk into Verizon to switch it out, or do I have to do the mail back, wait 5 days with no phone thing?
thanks
I've only replaced the phones I directly received from Verizon in person. Call Verizon and tell them you needed to swap a phone under the 14 days. They can look at your account and tell you if you can just swap it in person or if you need to return through the reseller.

In theory, Greenify may break such a feature like Knock-on, but its always recoverable. Simply de-greenify the app and manually launch it to restore everything to normal.
Please avoid greenifying any app with background functionality.
PS: Greenify actually never touch any system files.

That's weird... mine works great and is a super quick lock... accurate too! If it doesn't get fixed w/ an update i would exchange it... I used to have the Galaxy S and it had an issue w/ the gps antenna not being soldered right into the board... maybe an issue w/ yours, you will have to see.
Do a search for fixes. I saw one posted somewhere that was flashable.

Well, I apologize as there are a few threads on this. Seems to be a real issue. In demand, did you then off WiFi and try? With WiFi mine is spot on.

I'm experiencing the same problems with mine. It can't get a good lock on my location. I thought it was a google maps issue so I downloaded waze but the problem persists. GPS Status app says I'm connected to 4/12 satellite when I'm outside. I want to return it, but my rootchecker has been tripped. It won't reset even after restoring to stock 4 times. In download mode it says "unrooted" for about an hour before going back to "ROOTED" in all red letters. Any help is appreciated.

Is my phone being hacked?

So I'm listening to some music, when randomly play music closes and goes home to Nova launcher and starts scrolling. Then, Google now voice search opens by itself, then I make a backup of my phone and restart, then everything's normal. Now, just before I shut down, I saw a little android where SuperSU & AirDroid apps was supposed to be, which means they were uninstalled without my knowledge. But when I restarted, everything was normal. I'm somewhat worried, but I'm very experienced in Android, and I've come across this before...
A couple things to note:
I was using a charger with a broken USB.
I don't have a screen protector on.

When the phone had been on for a couple of hours it stopped blinking, and I have never had the problem after. Strange things with these LG stuff

I've noticed something cool with Bluetooth audio. Before you could set the volume of the phone and the Bluetooth device separately. I noticed that when I turned the volume up on the phone the soundbar volume indicator was going up. So I pulled up the volume slider on the phone and started adjusting the volume using my soundbar remote. The slider on the phone started moving by itself. It seems to me now the phone adjusts itself to the speaker volume.

Does anyone know if this is available with SmartSwitch - specifically without SIM in? My son is using my old s7 edge without an active SIM, would love to avoid having to deal with popping out the SIM from my s9+ to pull down the update for him, but if I have to, so be it.
At least the s7 edge is getting updates.
Just a FYI since I've seen others ask how to turn that off...
You can disable it in Bluetooth Settings (along with Ringtone volume as well). Go into Bluetooth Settings and click the 3-dots at the top right for "Media Volume Sync" or "Phone ringtone sync" while the device is connected.

I'm not sure if it resets your phone. You get it from Samsung website.

Now I'm really confused. Smart switch is telling me that 7.0 is the latest version available. I don't understand what is going on . I was able to update this a few months ago and have never rooted or anything

Did you ever change over to the unlocked firmware? Also, what carrier are you using?

Ok. The unlocked firmware is still only on 7.0. If it's still at&t and using a T-Mobile SIM it won't register an update. The servers won't accept any device not using an att sim.

Oh. Any way around it or do I just need an att sim? If were to go an att store would they be kind enough to let borrow one for a minute to update?
It's on g935aucs4bra1 firmware

The only way around it is to use Odin. But that will wipe your phone. Do you have any friends or family that use att?
