Screen acting up - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've dropped the phone quite a few times but the screen looks perfect. But the past few days I noticed to drag the notification drawer down I have to push on the screen hard while I drag or it will slide back up. It acts up other times too. For instance, in snapchat while holding down to view a snap if I slide my finger out of the way it deselects. Could I have caused damage that's not visible? It also has a TPU case.

Update: I notice the problem only happens vertically and I have no problem swiping side to side. And I also realized its not how hard I press, its more how slowly I swipe. to pull the notification drawer down I have to either pull it really slow or flick it down

I've noticed this same exact behavior on my Verizon G2. I found that my Knock On stopped working as well. Trying to figure out the cause, I tested the Screen with the Paint option in YAMTT.
I found there was a decent portion of the screen that was unresponsive to touch all the way from left to right in a band, almost directly over the physical buttons on the back.
I've called Verizon and they are sending me another one over night.

Had same problem and sent to LG. They replaced with reconditioned phone. Common problem.

If I take it to best buy where I got it will they fix it?

Mine isn't working in about the same spot as yours and knock on works only occasionally

No, they will not. This needs to go back to the manufacturer for warranty.

You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.
Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Been having issues with the accelerometer

Just got my adam today....
Been having issues with the accelerometer seems like eveything in games or apps that use the function wants to go to the right..no other holding place works.. just veers sharp right. then when I twist it at around it will go the other way but then back to right if I keep turning it ...
also when I hold it with my left hand only in landscape mode you see a spot of pressure on the screen push in as if my pointer finger in the back is pushin on the screen.
any one have any ideas.. already have wiped and tried again still no luck
The crazy part is the homescreen (launcher pro) always orients the proper way all the way around.. but maybe its a different sensor .. i dont know.
EDIT: I ran the program on my G2 and the blue points up to sky, the green points the right and the red is pointing in my direction...
If there is no way to reset the center in that accelerometer than I might just have to send it back.
Below is when the tablet is on a flat service.. if anyone else can run Z-device test to see what it should be that would be awesome.. i need to know if I need to fix this or send it back

Also here is a video of me use the "Swing Ball" app which shows that the balls swing straight up.
They move recklessly when I move the tablet around.
i've been having the same issue, and a little poking around has not yet yielded a fix. i'm still looking, but if anyone else finds anything, it would be great to know

[Q] Nexus 7 White Dot?

Hey guys,
When I turned on my Nexus 7 the other day, I noticed what looked like a white fingerprint against the screen, like someone had pressed against it too hard (no one had, it was sitting perfectly safe), and I had never seen this kind of problem before, so I thought I'd come here. I have two pictures of it. They aren't the best, but you can see the problem in them. Any ideas on what it is, and how to fix it?

That looks like a fissure or an unprecisely-shaped grid of dead pixels. Do you get that upon boot?

It had been dead for some time, but once I recharged and booted it up, I noticed it. It hadn't been there before, and I haven't tried resetting the tablet.

That would appear to be an issue with the hardware then, unfortunately. I don't think a reset will do anything if you noticed it as soon as you booted since it appears before the OS even started. Has the size or shape changed at all since you first noticed it? Does *gently* bending the tablet in any direction affect its appearance?

That's not correct.
The screen is off in your pocket, and as soon as it is removed, the clock comes on.
I don't have to push anything to get it to show the clock.

That's Correct On My AT&T S7 Edge if i pull it out from my case on belt it goes on right away , don't have to touch any buttons, if i put it back in case from my belt goes back off which thats normal!
Always on display is awesome! The average person looks at their device 150 times a day just to look at the time, why not have it there for you as soon as you look at the phone. Plus it only drains the battery 5% the entire day.
There's a setting to turn the screen off completely when it notices that it's in a dark place, like your pocket. It prevents you from butt dialing, etc. This feature can be shut off so the always on display won't shut down.

[Q] Green glow at top of screen

Green glow, only shows on black or dark screens. Tested with a burn check app for this picture. I toggled all screen options on and off in various configurations, including all the adpative stuff and Soli. No changes. When I press the screen, a normal press anywhere, the glow will change slightly. I'm approved for an RMA, but I'm wondering if anyone else can see this before I do that.
I used night sight for the picture, so the green glow is more pronounced than with the naked eye.
Have not noticed this on mine.
Where did your purchase it from? Hopefully the exchange is smooth!

Purchased from Google. Already approved for an RMA, just don't want to do that if it's widespread, or if it's not a real issue (is not consistently glowing, sometimes it's there, sometimes not).

Yeah send it back.
The one and only place I've seen anything remotely close is the YouTube music app. Screenshot brightened to enhance glow....
That's intended, though. To show you when the radar is looking for gestures.

Right, at first I thought that's what my glow was, Soli being active. It's in the same exact location, which would make suspicious it has something to do with the Soli light. Thanks for the help all

Just disable motion sense, launch spotify or youtube music and check if the glow still shows on top of the screen. If not, then it's for sure the indication of soli radar checking for movement. However it should not be green...
