Hi, I have looked through the threads but haven't found info, wanted to see what fellow Canadian owners have done in regards to the touchscreen issue. Also wanted to add this thread as to show another variant having issues, Rogers was unaware until I called them and they saw xda threads. They were helpful but unfortunately advised have to wait for LG to send an update. I have tried all of the suggestions for the other variant phones including installing SGS touchscreen booster and unfortunately nothing helped. Have the Rogers variant and was wondering if others have found a solution temporarily. Rogers hasn't received the lg keyboard update yet. Thanks all.

I'm on Rogers, and SGS fixed my issues. All the US carriers are releasing updates as we speak, so I can only assume the Canadian carriers will follow soon. LG is getting returns because of this issue, so you can bet they will be all over a fix.
As for Rogers being unaware of the issue...that's bull. They always say that. Rogers knows.

Thanks for the reply. Awesome to hear SGS worked for you. Did you do anything else, developer options etc? I will perform another factory reset and try again. Hope I can get it working, pain in the arse having the missing touches. Hopefully rogers does it sooner than later.
OP, there's another post for CDN models here. LINK
I am also experience pretty annoying touch screen issues, and I can't even exchange with WIND since they claim they're out of stock.

I didn't change anything in my developer options (other than disabling all animations). My Touchscreen issues weren't bad to begin with, and I DO NOT use the stock keyboard. Both of those are most likely why SGS helped me.
Thx for the info guys, I will read through the cdn section and start using swift key with sgs.
I think this whole issue is overrated. Yes, I get the occasional miss but so what? Same thing has happened with every smart phone I've owned. Maybe I didn't tap hard enough, maybe I did. But why does the occasional miss get people's knickers in such knots. It has virtually no effect on the user experience with this great phone.

I wouldn't say that. You might not be getting the issue as others are. Apparently it's pretty bad with some phones.
If you didn't know, the LG G2 had a huge issue with its touchscreen where the top portion of the screen stopped working, edge to edge, so people couldn't tap on anything in that portion of the screen.
The G3 also had its issues and now G4. LG clearly needs to change their touchscreen/digitizers and use someone else's if they're incapable of reliability.
Anyways, I was coming here to start a new thread and ask if someone tried the version from Wind to see if it has the touchscreen issue before I buy the phone. Thank you to the person who mentioned it !!

It might not be too apparent for other people, but on mine it's been getting worse. Someone mentioned before that it actually seems issues get worse as the phone gets hotter.
Not sure how much of that is true, but it kills the experience for me.

I have WIND one, and the issue is there.
It started off being hardly noticed now and could seem to be my mistake. Now it's much worse and every other swipe registers as a type, taps are missing around 50 - 60%. Can't get it exchanged either since WIND claims their sold out of G4's in the GTA region, with an exception of one return for an S6.
Not entirely sure I will keep my G4 as much as I love it.

I think going for the S6 is the best choice. I'm considering the 3 phones, M9, g4, s6. S6 seems to be the least buggy, as usual. M9 has its hardware issues or I'd get it.

Honestly every phone has it's quirks, by no means will your S6 have no chance of issues. You can check out the S6 forum on XDA for more info.
Even with that being said, this LG G4 touch screen issue seems pretty big IMO in comparison to the number of issues on the S6.
Apart from Touchscreen issues, are you guys getting the Wi-fi issue?

Check the S6 forums at Android Central. The S6 is a train wreck of issues compared to the G4.
Overheating, dead gyroscope, lagging, front camera purple dots, horrid battery life....

To be fair, some of those aren't real issues that ONLY affect the S6.
"Overheating" seems like almost a loose term as people complain about their phones getting hot, but it happens to nearly every android phone.
Lagging "issue" seems to be something people will always complain about with every new phone for some reason, heck there's even post about it here.
"Horrid battery life" isn't really that bad. Yes the G4 is better, but even then people still complain about having a issues with it.
I still think having touch screen issues is the worse, especially since the updates for the US seemed to have fixed it for some while others are still plagued by it.
It leaves me in a state indecisiveness where I love this phone and want to believe it can be fixed via software or I should just cut my losses and exchange to an S6 while I can.
I agree with you. Overheating is going to be an issue for any high end phone going forward, because processors keep getting more powerful (with no active cooling), and phones keep getting thinner. Overheating is also subjective. Most people feel their phone getting warm and assume it's overheating. If it doesn't warn you and start throttling, it's not overheating.
Battery life is totally subjective as no two users are the same. Screen on time is the worst way to measure battery life. Someone surfing the net is going to get a lot more screen on time than someone gaming and watching 4k videos.
LG G4 Touch screen issue is present in Canada as well
I am reposting my reply on this Canadian thread:
To all Canadian LG G4 buyers, the touch screen problem is alive and present in Canada as well. I bought a Wind Mobile LG G4, everything was fine at first but once I plugged it into the charger, it started to to miss touches and being unresponsive (the touches won’t register on the first try) the good test is when you double tap to wake or sleep OR when you go to phone’s setting and touch “about phone” or something else and it misses the first touch. It SHOULD NOT miss any touches, period. I put it next it to my LG G3 and on my LG G3 double tap to wake and sleep worked every time and no missed touches in the phone setting either, when it was plugged into the charger.. but it didn’t work on LG G4 which is unacceptable for $700 phone, once again it only happens when you PLUGGED IT in to the charger, if its disconnected it works fine. I returned that phone
So I was wondering if anybody else with the Moto G4 were having any glitches right now mine is doing stuff without even touching it, I didn't even drop in water or on the cement, it closes apps randomly and the notifications sometimes will not close, If anyone else is EXPERIENCING these problems please let me know and if you have an answer please tell me!
-ConradVertz
I have also experience some glitching, but not that severe. It has glitched while using Firefox or videos apps. What I have done is basically reboot. It doesn't happen frequently and I am not sure if its because of the low 2GB ram or memory it has. I assume the ram gets consume and the phone starts acting up. I know Firefox and video apps tend to use a lot of ram. If I am using it normally, I don't experience the Glitching. That's the only reasoning I can come up with.
Not experienced this on the G4, but i had a similar experience on my old phone, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6. The touchscreen regularly registered activity when i was nowhere near it, and touches were off-sync. The problem on that phone started after abnormal pressure was applied to the screen (friend nicked the phone and it resulted in a tug of war with it). Have you pressed the screen very hard, or applied more pressure to it than is normal in any way?
My G4 kept self pressing the home button (phantom touch). It activated Google Now On Tap as a result. I rebooted the phone and it went anyway. Only happened once. My phone is a stock Amazon edition.
This is the reason I returned my g4 for the honor 5x. I use my GPS for work a lot. During navigation it kept ghost touching and had to pull over after a reboot. Kept happening. I'm surprised this isn't all over XDA. I found a lot of people talking g about it on reddit.

To be fair, that isn't but a fraction of 1% of the phones that have been sold. It's also true that a huge number of people haven't bothered making a post out of the blue saying their Moto G4 has had no ghost touches. Do a search for Honor 6x problems and you'll also find numerous problems reported. I'm not necessarily defending Moto because I've had issues of my own buy I've owned the Moto G2, Moto G3, Huawei, LG, Nokia, and Samsung and they've all had issues also.

Oh I know that 5x has issues. I understand the issues reported are small. But for me if a phone doesn't work and I get it exchanged and that phone does it as well, I hate wasting time and money. I'm not going to wait for software updates to fix out of the box issues. The honor 5x has issues but to me they are negligible out of the box. I do miss the g4 and almost went back. Bit I have to have something usable and feel burned.
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-5x-android-7-nougat-bootloop-issue-717698/
So I read this article back on September 21st and thought, "Well I've been using 7.0 since it was N Preview 3 and upgraded to final release just fine. I should be good." Then two nights ago while I was just browsing online, it happened to me and I got an endless bootloop. Mind you, I am totally stock and unrooted (Support does ask if you are by the way) which is a first for me as I usually ended up rooting and customizing my previous phones. All I saw was the Google logo for 5-10 seconds, then it turn off, back to the logo, and repeat. I followed the trouble shooting steps to clear the cache and the factory reset. At first I couldn't even get to those options but letting the phone rest in power off for a few minutes fixed that. But it's still bootlooping on me. Good thing Google's customer support is 24/7, I'm within my 1 year warranty (Purchased Sept 2015 but didn't receive and activate until end of Oct 2015), and I'll be receiving my free replacement in the mail in the next few days.
Only "issues" are I'm going to lose my Ice Blue color and will be getting a black one, I splurged for the expedited shipping ($18.99 which I don't think they'll cover), and it'll be a little bit as it's 1-2 days for processing and 1 day (hopefully) shipping. They do put a hold on my credit card for the total price which they remove once the old phone gets shipped. I have 14 days to ship the old one which they do provide shipping and packing slips for free. That makes sense someone could try to lie and scam to get a free phone without some kind of collateral.
Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the support I got and was really tempted to splurge on the Googe Pixel and pay $27/month prior to this happening. But with this replacement, I'm hoping that my original unit was defective in performance (That's what comments would say) as it slowed down way more than it should on things that would be pretty simple especially websites. Guess I'll wait for the Pixel 2 next year.
Update:
Looks like the expedited shipping was covered by them. The hold was removed from my credit card and no shipping charge remaining.

IMO the original information from the Google reply is confusing. In the context they were answering it makes it seem like the hardware problem is between 7.0 and the hardware. IMO the hardware problem is actually eMMC that is close to failing and it could have happened on MM as well (there have been sporadic posts of this happening since release). So Google is right, it is a hardware problem, but the implication that it is related to Android 7.0 and you'd be all safe with 6.0.x is IMO deceptive.

If it was manufactured later (or a refurb) there is at least the possibility the eMMC chip might be of different batch, but if it was manufactured back in 10/2015 timeframe, I doubt Google knew about the problem back then so there would be zero chance it has some newer eMMC chip. Even if it was manufactured after that there is no guarantee they knew about the problem and made a manufacturing change.
I don't think it is a highly prevalent problem, but it occurs more than what is usual with phones. There are plenty of 5x's which don't experience the problem. You will probably be fine.
IMO these eMMC chips that they used have a higher failure rate than normal but probably is still a low absolute number relative to number of phones sold. It doesn't take that many posts about permanently bootlooped phones to make it seem like an epidemic when it might not be when looking at the overall picture.

It is possible it might be some different hardware defect with solder joints rather than eMMC chip itself. Just a working theory that the 5x may suffer a hardware problem acknowledged for its cousin the LG G4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/5x-bootloop-cause-fix-t3476794
So after a good 3 days of use, I can say my original release day 5X probably did have some kind of defect. It's amazing how much smoother my replacement has been and I haven't changed my apps or usage. There are times of delay and lag here and there but not to the point where it wasn't usable like unscrollable web pages or non-responsive back, home, recent apps buttons like my old phone. Eventually it will catch up and things go back to working smoothly without the need to restart the phone. I should've requested a replacement months ago! I just didn't believe people when they said it was defective and I don't realize how easy and quick it was to get a replacement. Oh well.

I must say this thread is quite quiet...
Mine died a week ago while traveling.
It was actually running 7.0 for quite some time. but I think it's eMMC failing because the only major change I had was doing more videos in 4k (that sometimes stuttered).
Then one morning without warning it rebooted and died.
Hope they'll replace it as my purchase date was 10/9 ...
However, I'm afraid there's a defect similar to the G4 one because it seems very similar.
Also as written above, might be related to the reports of some users as I had prior to 7.0 betas of lags. my device felt really laggy when I first bought it.
What's your S/N number?
Happened to mine five days ago. Sent to repair (Norway) but got a New one anyway. To hard to switch phones after years on nexus. Got a New OTA update just now, related?
I sent mine in to LG after it randomly shut down and bootlooped using maps. They reported this issue was with the flash memory, so everyone saying the eMMC is likely correct.

Is the nougat bootloop problem will be resolved by google?

This was my experience as well. I had an earpiece speaker die in my 5x, so I would have gladly paid the $19 anyway, but much to my surprise, I didn't have to. Very glad I bought the phone through the Play store now, the support and exchange process was excellent.

There's kind of a debate going on as to whether it's really the update or if it's an eMMC hardware issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
The only reason I think it's eMMC or at least the connection with it is:
- My recovery won't always load also.
- TWRP would also freeze even if I try to boot into it without flashing it.
- I've flashed factory image without wiping data. result: It did boot once but got stuck and reboot after few minutes of hiccups.
- It freezes in different parts when loading.
- My device worked well for a long time with 7.0. more than a month / since the first day the 7.0 OTA from the 7.0 beta was out...
- I saw some hiccups few days before it died randomly when shooting 4K videos. felt like dropouts.
(placebo: my device was sluggish with 6.0 and 7.0 beta actually made it functional. with 6.0 I was quite disappointed with the performance).

It is definitely a hardware problem.
In many cases eMMC is involved.
It is unclear whether the chip is failing or the solder joints are failing.
LG has acknowledge a defect with the LG G4 (cousin of 5x) where the solder joints were failing.
There are videos showing heating the chip using SMD hot air rework station can restore functionality on a LG G4. I don't know of anybody who has tried same with 5x.
Given there were reports of phones on Marshmallow just rebooting in the middle of seemingly innocuous things like texting and then being stuck in a bootloop with all stock software, locked bootloader, IMO Android 7 has little to do with the problem and it is mostly coincidental it happens after an update. It is possible Android 7 runs the CPU a little more and maybe that exacerbates a solder joint problem for some phones, but the core problem would still be solder joints as melting point of lead-free solder is quite high (220C/428F)

Do you remember if you ever looked to see whether your "big" cores (CPUs 5 & 6) were often disabled?
I am wondering if a solder joint problem can sometimes manifest itself in CPU operating in degraded condition where it doesn't run the "big" cores as often or at all.
I noticed on a friend's 5x, it was always running hot for some reason, which triggered a thermal safety measure where the "big" cores are disabled. Whenever the 5x is in that condition, it runs very sluggishly, but once the phone cools down, it goes back to running normal/fast.
It would be funny if alot of the complaints about the 5x being sluggish ended up being because of bad solder joints. Then the people that reported sluggishness would be correct and the people who reported things being snappy were also correct, the former really just had hardware defects, but not the obvious type.

I never did check how the cores were running but I did have a widget monitoring the temperature and would notice pretty high spikes. That last statement you made is the exact situation I was in. I guess I would rather have a sluggish performance defect than a burning battery one. LOL

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about disabling Smart Doctor and all related apps (smart doctor webview and smart cleaning). I know it's a useful app but I prefer using other apps for phone optimization. My question is, will these cause issues in the phone? (i.e. random reboots, overheating, lag). Thanks
No issues here.
No issues Works fine
Killed my phone...
I wouldnt say that it was/might have been 100% the smart doctor's doing, but ill explain what happend:
So, first, as usuall, i open up my smart doctor and optimize the phone. After optimizing, there was a notice on the dignosis button saying that it's better if i restart my phone more regulary. So, as requested, i pressed the restart button(not with the manual power button but a icon written "restart".), aaand it just broke, started a bootloop and its been like that ever since. The funny thing is, my phone(which is a LG V30 btw) was ONLY 3-4 weeks old(with no physical damage whatsoever). For now, im speculating that it was the games fault for heating up my phone and fried my motherbord. But it felt little too weird that it broke after the smart doctor's request to restart the phone. Fortunately, ive got my warrenty so i should get a new phone anytime soon. And this time, im going to test it out how long it would last if i dont download any games, and still use smart doctor to see who was the culprit behind the breakdown of my phone. What do you guys think? Im guessing since the model is different(most of you guys have G6 right?) So the outcome or the situation might be a little different. But that was my experience...(sort of in shock now cuz the last phone i had was a G4 and the same stuff is happening with V30 and even quicker)
.....(most of you guys have G6 right?) in the forum area "LG G6 LG G6 Questions & Answers" yes :good:
I think it was "unlucky" a Monday device :laugh::laugh: my old G4 has not motherboard errors, but display creak and burned in

I own a galaxy s5 I love all the features it haves, but unfortunately it's time to upgrade it.
Anyway after some researching I think only the v20 meets my requirements
Ir blaster/3.5 jack/removable battery/micro sd card.
But I'm not sure if I should buy it cause the bootloop problem, some people claims it doesn't have the problem while other claims it does and their phone suffered from this very fate.
Will appreciate any advice you can give me, the model I plan to buy is the h990 single sim.

There's no widespread reports of bootloop issues like the g5. However some people have had issues, yes,but that's the case with any phone you buy. Common issues reported are:bad cell reception, screen retention, bad mics, usb c port failures to name a few. Ymmv.

Never had a bootloop with mine since I got it last November. But I bought it based on the fact it was supposed to be one of the best phones to record live music videos and it really sucks on that side, making me thinks the micros might be defective. Other than this, I love the phone. I get around 4 hours of SOT and I love to have a 2nd battery ready to swap anytime in case of need.

No issues with bootloop, but I'd highly suggest you go for LG V30 instead. This phone has Screen retention issue, bad GPS performance (which can be catered for if you enable Cellular and Wifi based accuracy improvement), Type-C port bugs (which are solved with a simple reboot), having LCD screens, it does drain battery significantly faster than the OLED phones from other brands. Also camera has piss-poor HDR.
On the contrary V30 is a great phone to have if u have the budget for it.

The v30 cost like double of the v20 (for me), and doesn't have removable battery or Ir Blsater, I can go without the first but IR blaster is a must.
(and no for Chinese phones). so I'm pretty much left with staying with my galaxy s5 (g901f) or upgrade to v20 which is sucks I prefer smaller phone and more reliable.
