Hi, how are you? Recently i was working on the pc with my phone next to the keyboard and i noticed a light on the phone, but i wasn't able to see what was that because it was gone too fast, i tough it was a reflection of my screen.
Now, the screen was on saying that i enter 5 wrong knock codes and i needed to put my PIN in order to keep using the phone. So, that light that saw was the notification light 'saying' that a knock code was entered incorrectly.
So thats the problem, the screen touches by itself when it's locked. It's seems that this problem appeared after installing CloudyG3, but i used several days without this problem?
Maybe it has something to do because of the low battery that i have now (15%-)? (I'm charging it right now). Maybe it's the kernel?
PS: When using the phone normally, the screen works fine.

I really like my LG E900 phone. I bought it for AT&T in the USA unlocked on Amazon. Installed Mango recently with all the firmware upodates and until today been having a lot of fun with my phone!
All of a sudden today, the touch screen seems un-responsive. The touch screen works intermitently. It starts to work then stops again. I have tried resetting the phone (have to pull battery). I wasn't doing anything when I this happended. I recently installed Tango and Livestrong mobile app, otherwise phone was flawless.
1. Is my touch screen broken?
2. Does anyone have a clue. I thought maybe the phone is running apps in backround but I can't seem to find the problem. The battery seems to drain also.
3. The phone does become operation for minutes at a time but then goes bad.
I wanted to add that the screen is also very slow at first then starts to respond normally. Almost seems to something happening in the backround. As of now, the screen is still not responding. If I continue to play with the screen, sometimes the screen starts to respond, but slowly.
thanks for help!!
In your position, I would try to:
1. Use the guaranty (if it's still active) and take it to a local service
2. Flash a different rom/firmware with all the latest updates inside and see what happens.
3. Buy a new e900...they cost less than ever nowadays...(almost 180€-190€ without a contract...)
You have got to be kidding me, the exact same thing is happening to me, and for 2 days now. I'm unbranded (I believe) on Vodafone Spain. The entire phone has become unresponsive. Drops nearly every call, has rebooted about 50 times in the last 24h.
fUnny thing is, it doesn't ever reboot when I'm actively using it, just during lock screen.
cOuld you further develop your symptoms just in case we have the same issue? Thnx

More Detail about the LG E900 WP7 Lock Screen issue
OK. SO here are the symptoms-
- Whenever I enter the lock screen, the touch is screen does not respond. TO be clear the touch screen senses I am touching the screen but the lock screen doesn't move when swipe.
Ater some research you can find the SAME EXACT error on HTC Surrround Samsung Focus. here's the youtube video. exactly as it appears except time to unlock takes about 2:30 (2 minutes 30 seconds) on my LG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3QABdcTINc
So here is what happens and what I do
1. Again entering the lock screen, and attempting to unlock the touch doesn't reposnd to any swipes.
2. You continue to swipe and occasionaly hit the physical buttons. This keeps the lock screen on. You have to keep swiping for about 2:30. After 2:30, the touch screen just seems to respond.
3. After the touch screen responds. Nothing out of the ordinary. When I tried using IE, it seemed that IE didn't work as well. Pinch to zoom, swipes not as good. Also portions of the screen are not as responsive.
So maybe start looking for a replacement.
I've tried
- restoring previous OS and files. No change.
- Hard and factory reset. No change.
- changing the brightness setting (AUTO, low) no change
The only thing that I haven't done is upgrade/downgrade the firmware. I think that may help but not clear on what to do.
Are you using the correct charger?
I have an HP Touchpad that has a high output microUSB charger for rapid charging of the Touchpad's battery. Although it hasn't (yet?) given my e900h any troubles, I did read at least one report of a guy's Samsung phone reacting poorly with symptoms similar to yours after using the Touchpad's higher output charger.
I am using a third party USB charger. Not a high power one, but an inexpensive one from monoprice. Ok, I will try.

Some people have reported errors and crazy system behavior when using third party chargers...
Still no luck. Using stock charger now. Will wait to see if any improvements. Thanks everyone.

I was one of them. This behaviour would occur with the charger connected.
I get the feeling the problem the OP and I are facing is also related to chargers, but no longer when they are connected. Charging makes no difference for me, the phone is still reacting very strange.
More Info on failiong touch screen
So
Here are more precise deets
- Whenever the backlight is turned off, the touch screen becomes non-responsive
- The touch screen notices touch but not swiping.
- in order to get the touch screen to respond you must continue touch the screen for 00:02:30 (2 minutes, 3 sec).
- the touch screen will usuallly start to respond to swipes but only a single axis (e.g. vertical or horizontal)
- after 2:30 the touch screen responds like everything is ok.
- the goal is to make sure the screen backlight stays on until the for 2:30. In some lock screen cases, you can issue a voice command, camera etc which effectly keeps the phone one (i.e backlight on) for longer without having to continuously touch.
- issues came after tangoi install and livestrong install.
- wonder if tango did something to lock screen
- also tried changing lock screen wallpaper - no changes
- when installing microsoft insider app, I tried using the wallpapers, but the apps crashes. Changing wall paper using default app works
- using default charger no changes
- received the latest update (fixed voicemail and outlook issues) - no change
I haven't been able to retore/flash NODO. That is probably what I need to do.
same problem here, new phone, original recharger and touchscreen of my optimus goes sometimes frenzy...the frequency of strange behavior raises when I fully recharge battery
i found a video on youtube, but yet i cannot send urls, because i'm new user here, u can find it if u search "problema telefono"
any1 have some solution, pls? or did u try to send the phone back to LG service?
Hello! Been using my phone (I9505) for like 2 years now and all worked perfectly. Suddenly, my touchscreen stopped working. After some hours of waiting, it worked back again, but then stopped working as well. After repeating this cycle, today is the first day that I couldn't use my touch screen at all. Touch screen buttons (capacitive buttons I believed they are called) work great. Also, I figured out something, If I press the power key and fastly move my finger around the screen 'till it turns on, it does detect my finger, but after the screen has turned on it doesn't let me use the touchscreen. I've tried reformatting the phone a couple of times but no success (not only factory, but mega wipe as well).
Any help, please?
P.S: Also, forgot to mention, daydream function was activated and it worked well, but when my touchscreen was unresponsive, If I had let my screen turned on, it wouldn't go into it, but simply turn off the screen. I believe it's something to do with deep sleep? (I believe that was a known-problem for the ROM I was using at that time (Albe's lollirom). Atm I'm not using it anymore.
Bump
Maybe you should try going back to stock rom.
Or, when you get one of those moment where it works, go into developer settings and activate the option to show the pointer or touch response.
After 2 years it happens that stuff breaks. Depending on how much care you take of it.
For some reason a single row of my touch screen seems to be stuck on.
You can see what I mean here. https://imgur.com/0BYBRjh
And I can't interact with that row at all, even in recovery, dose that mean I need to replace the touch screen? or dose that sound like a louse connection or something?
it happened out of no where, my phone was fine, then I left it by my pc to charge, when I came back the lock screen was freaking out. even after rebooting, it was registering touches all over the place, after leaving it off for a while, it finally settled down to just that single row.
If i Turn off the phone for a while the row is no longer active, it still dose not register touch.
but after a while it lights back up as 'active'
I ran the battery dry last night, and so far this morning, it looks like so far the row is not stuck active,
but parts of that row counts at two touches other parts don't register,
Above the row counts the any touches as a second touch, and below the first touch, as shown here:

Any Idea what could cause this, or how to fix it?
lg g2 (d800)-cm12.1
Woke up this morning and started using my phone, noticed that the screen became unresponsive for a few seconds at a time and then I saw some gray horizontal lines.
Did a battery pull and restarted the phone, however, the screen is completely black and I can still hear the boot sound.
It requires a pin to start completely and I can feel the vibration when I touch the location of the back button (the only navigation key available on the pin screen).
Since this started happening I have tried restarting several times and I have seen the "LG splash screen" once, it freezes, the boot sound plays and the screen goes black once again.
The phone is unrooted and has never been modified any at all. It is the US996 variant.
Has anyone ever faced this issue? Could it be the display itself and maybe a replacement LCD will fix the issuse?
UPDATE
Got past the pin screen and think the phone has fully booted, fingerprint scanner works, I can touch the navigation keys and get feedback and I am still getting notifications.
However, the main screen is still blank and the second screen shows the time surrounded by static surrounded. I have attached a photo.
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Hi Have you fixed the issue?
Hi
it looks like a corrupt bootloader,
Was it rooted? try to press with the phone off volume + and plug in the usb to enter in download mode, if you enter download mode go back to factory

Had to send it in to LG to have it repaired
Oddly enough once it was returned the problem reoccured a few weeks later after using an aukey quick charge3.0 charger that I had. Which was when it happened the first time but I didn't make the connection until the second time around
I got rid of the phone though
No more LGs for me, I haven't had much luck with them
Throw that charger seems like or the cable or the charger itself gone bad ,one charger killed 2 of my phones not diferent brands
I've been using the PH-1 for a year and a half and its great, but a couple days ago i would unlock the phone via fingerprint (as ussual), it would unlock but the touch wont work, so i factory reset the phone and still the same, remove the case and the screen was loose (almost complete), but the cable was well connected on both sides so i got the screen glued, but still the same.
Im using Android Pie (from day 1) with March update (updated like a week ago), in order to use the phone beyond what Google assistant can do i have to reboot the phone (using power and volume buttons) to get the touch to work again and dont let the screen go off. Sometimes after rebooting the touch works even if i turn the screen off and on, but i think its just luck.
You guys think it might be a software issue? or hardware issue? because i don't live in the US or CA, so i would have to wait a couple weeks for the screen to get here and i would'nt be able to return it in case its not a screen malfunction.
I really don't wanna change my phone, i love the PH-1.
EDIT: i just replaced the screen with a new one from fixez.com and the problem persists, i think april's update broke something. is there something i can do to check the software? Pls help.
I rooted my phone and almost the same thing happens. I turn off the screen and turn it back on and the touch is unresponsive. Howver, ONLY the apps left on screen are unresponsive. I can still pull down from status bar its weird.
Update 1: I saw u mention fingerprinting. I removed mine and somehow it seems to have stopped. I'll use it for about another day or 2.
Update2: Well it doesn't. If my screen times out with an app open. The app is unresponsive upon waking.
