Here's a temporary solution, as this is said to be a combination of a software and a hardware defect. Just press the power button to lock the screen and press it again to get to the unlock screen. The screen will recalibrate.
I had similar problem.
I sent my phone to HTC, and received it next day with a replaced hardware
But after couple of days I placed screen protector and it caused the problem again.(But this time power button had no effect). So i removed it, and since then, more than a week, i don't have any problem with touchscreen.
Read the FAQ, question 5.
I had the same issue. HTC warranty dept considers this a hardware deffect and they offer a service repair IF the phone is still within the warranty period. So I sent my phone to HTC, received it back 10 days later. So far no issue.

It didn't explain why htc desire users don't experience the same problems.

how is it possible to know if they replaced the digitizer with a newer (non-bugged) model?

There is no such model, I believe.
Thanks to all for your input on this issue.
I tried everything and I end up staring from scratch. Reformatted and reinstalled the OS and that seems to work so far.

They do. Possibly to a lesser degree.
I have a related question: would replacing the digitizer by a brand new one (say, after "accidentally" dropping the phone and breaking the screen) fix this problem or not?

The FAQ says it's must be turned off and on?!?! shouldn't it be 'lock/unlock'?
also, brainstorming a permanent fix for this, maybe in the kernel:
What if after Xmin of the screen being on, the kernel flashed it off and on again?
i rather have my screen flashing .5 sec each 5min than loosing calls or pressing the wrong button at the most inconvenient time
Hey all,
So i just got my Nexus in the mail about 3 days ago and already I'm experiencing some annoying issues. First off, the sound hardly ever works, which often requires a reboot which only fixes it for a short while. Secondly, the screen is coming up on the left side of the tablet which causes it to have an annoying give to it. Question is - what should i do? What did you guys do with your problem child Nexus 7's? Call ASUS? Call Google? Thanks for the input guys!

If you bought it from the Google play store then just call them up aamd they will get u situated in the right direction. I got mine thru them and am already experiencing dead pixels, unresponsive touch screen and random reboots.... no screen lift issues tho lol. That aside the Google representative that I spoke with was very helpful and didn't have any problem with me exchanging my device. RMA filled out and once I get the replacement I can say goodbye to this defective tablet lol

I am really frustrated with my LG G2 because of the screen problem I encountered. The screen goes up and down, it happens when I over using the phone. I went on LG service center to reset my phone. still no luck, the problem is still there. They think its a software problem. I hope LG will release new software update on G2
To me that seems more like a hardware problem, not a software one.
Can you reproduce the problem at will?
Dude, I think you have a lemon...
Good luck!
It happened when i charged my phone with the screen is on and i always reading manga. maybe the screen is too sensitive. Yea i think this is hardware issue
I have used mine while connected and charging... Never had a problem with that.

Hopefully you're still in your exchange period...swap it out
You are running it completely stock? And you've done a factory reset? If so, it sounds to me like your phone is defective. These phones are so new it should still be under warranty, right?
Just got the same problem as OP last night and I've used it only for 1 month,so now I send my phone to LG service center and they said it was a hardware problem not sure which part but will reply here soon when I got my phone back and tell you all what's the problem... :angel:

Got a similar problem. I am unsure if I want to send it back for exchange or just keep it, as there are plenty of reports of owners exchanging G2's just to get another with the same problem. Looks to me to be a software issue - at least with my G2 - as I can get past it by just turning the screen off/on.
Let us know how your G2 turns out.

I've just got ma phone back after sent it to LG service center and they said that it was a touch screen problem,so they changed touch screen + board for me without any cost coz I have a warranty...I think you should change it to a new one or tell them if you got a problem like mine

Lol just swapped it out. We will see how the new one does but so far way way better. Seriously my phone was horrible. I read and read thread after threads today and my case seemed way worse then everyone else's. Like most people's was tolerable, this was intolerable. I'd say 6 out of 10 times u turned on the screen it be messed up.
I showed the best buy mobile guy and he said without a doubt there's a problem. The best place for me to show him was the app drawer, if u held ur finger on the screen it would bounce and randomly select apps, we tried the demo unit and it worked perfectly.
Ill keep u updated on how this baby does.

Well that didn't take long. Started setting the phone up and all was good. Started disabling the apps I don't use and after that it went berserk. I thought Hhmm maybe it's one of the apps causing it so did a factory reset and no it did right off the bat so I'm done. If it wasn't to late tonight I woulda just took it back again. Back to the Note 2.

Yikes - sorry to hear this.
I wondered if my first G2 was worse b/c I aggressively set it up right from the start: disabling apps I don't want, installing a bunch of apps, etc. On G2 #2, I didn't do that and although I've seen this issue surface on my new G2, it has been just a couple of times.
You need to use whatever phone you get the most enjoyment out of. The G2 undeniably has a software glitch that causes this PIA issue. Too bad it didn't work out for you. Good luck with your Note.
I hope LG addresses this issue SOON!!

Thank you, I hope it works out for you guys and they fix it. I love the phone and want it to work but it just isnt gonna happen right now. Im just gonna cancel my upgrade and I guess eat the $35 restocking fee which I think is crap but oh well.
Ill keep my eyes on the forum and may return to it if they fix the phone cause im not gonna use my upgrade right now. Besides this glitch the phonw is a beast. Good luck...

This happened to a few people here in Thailand. We are posting the issues on a group in facebook.
My iPhone 4s used to bounce all over the place when plugged in to charge.
My G2 hasn't had any hardware issues at all yet. I've had it going on 7 months now. Works perfectly.
My advice is that if you get a replacement or repair and it does it again, never get another LG product again. Just like me an Apple. I'm done with them. There's a guy here who wants his old Note 2 back. I know a guy who had 3 motherboards replaced on his Note 2. The last one broke the screen as the phone was swollen. There's no way of knowing. Its just the luck of the draw with these things.
When you get a really good phone, keep it and use it until it disintegrates. As long as this G2 is fine, I won't part with it for anything.
And yes. This is a hardware issue.

Maybe this can be replaced by the warranty service.
bring it to the service center.. but you will handle the repair.. if your liable for the damage
Hello all, I recently purchased a VZW G2. Got it in a charleston, sc store before the display was even up. Last week my touch screen started acting up and would be dead in a small spot. Now theres a whole dead bar. Wtf LG? Check out the picture.

I'm obviously going to take it back when I can get a ride to the store, but other people are having this same issue. Any ideas on what's causing it?
defective touch panel. pretty rare but not unheard of. the hardware is simply defective. bring it in and get it exchanged. I've had mine 2 weeks and no issues, nor am I planning to have any. real solid phone.
i have the same problem, and this is my second device with this same isue, i contac LG they said to make a factory rest amd is this don't work, i can change in the store or send to them.

Shouldn't you have a 12 month warranty? Even if it has to be sent to LG for repair!
Were you on the Quick Memo?
Planning to buy a g2 but read some people have issues with the screen with touchscreen issues. How common is this issue? Is this fixable by software patch?

Very common. Do a search. Cause is still unknown.
thx for the reply.. is it independent on model version? I want to buy the korean version... not sure I will get one now considering it's pricey and prone to screen issues
It happens to every version. I had mine fixed a few months ago and it's happening again.

I never had a problem and when I did have a screen problem it was because I had a JDI one and I fixed it. Its an awesome phone (Better than S4) so you should really try playing with it. Rooting it is also another option and I dont think custom roms give you the touchscreen problem.

Since when I had my phone repaired and they had to change out my prox sensor, screen, and digitizer, I really think it's a hardware issue.
Just had to have my D801 replaced by T-Mobile for an issue where the screen was picking up two finger touches instead of just one in a small area in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Warranty replacement was easy but I wish this wasn't an issue.. I love this phone.

I was going to do that with TMO, but they wanted $19.99 "processing fee" or something ridiculous. On top of that, I'd get a refurb device. I ended up going through LG - they had my phone for about two weeks.
Like I said though, the issue is back..
as i was going to buy the korean version without warranty... I think it is not a wise decision to do that seeing so many issues with the lg g2 screen... I am disappointed as this phone looked like my ideal phone with ideal screen size (not too big, not too small) with a good camera... but I don't want to take a risk on the screen issue.. I have the htc desire and it has issue with multitouch and it is very frustrating (can't even rotate on gmaps) ... I don't want this again lol

That's weird. I only had to pay $5 processing. The guy said because I was on the JUMP program. Also I got like super expedited shipping for free. I suppose I may have gotten a refurb but a refurb I better than a broken phone. I just hope this doesn't happen again...
