G6 Bugs - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hello to everyone,
I have a LG G6 (H870) by just a month but I am experiencing small lags (it's not so important to me), troubles with fingerprint reader and a very disappointing overheating issue.
This happens two or three times a day also when the phone is in standby with no particular apps in background. I have to turn off the phone and wait until it cool itself.
Sometimes the fingerprint sensor stops working so I have to unlock the phone only with pin or proceed with a multiple restart.
I already had a similar problem with other devices of other brands and often was just a software bug.
I have also less of 4hrs of SOT! :/
Factory reset did not help me.
Anyone has same issues?
Hope next update fixes everything.

I have None of those issues, you running any task manager?

My G6 is branded by a carrier but also after debloating and apps blocking the situation has not changed.
It runs just few apps like whatsapp, chrome, facebook and just only one carrier's app that I need and can be removed without problems.

You should back up yr phone then do a hard reset then flash the Open EU .kdz add it has no bloatware or carrier apps, and see. When you did a hard reset did you use (power & vol. Down buttons) or just reset in the phone menu?

In fact I was evaluating the thing after I not solved anything with the other attempts.
There is a warranty losing switching from branded firmware to a no brand ?
I tried all types of reset but the result was always the same.
I even tried without app installing (including Google and its services) but, also in this case, nothing changed
Thanks.

As for the micro lags, Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering" should make the beast smoother or snappier.
If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store (I think LG H870 can be rooted).

It kinda looks like you got a "rouge" app running in background, heating up your phone, causing stutters and draining your battery. You should probably make sure that's not the case.
Edit: Do you have any AV installed? I remembered a certain AV caused me this kind of troubles on G3.

Horrible Stutters and Freezes on New Replacement Device

I got a replacement device with stock rom recently and it suddenly started to experience stutters, lags and freezes frequently. For example, I'd be typing on the keyboard and suddenly everything stops responding. It happens in Chrome, randomly whenever I'm using the keyboard, and basically throughout the rom.
One solution is for me to wait 2 minutes and it might suddenly start responding. But the only sure solution that always works is for me to lock and unlock the device a few times (using the power button) and everything goes back to normal for two minutes until it lags and freezes again.
Thoughts anyone?
I had all the same previous apps on my previous Nexus 4 and had no problems....
RMA karma.......
........
These are tough to troubleshoot, but to narrow it down to hardware vs. software, I'd do a Factory Reset, and test, before signing into your Google Account and d/l'ing all your apps. If it works fine for a time/day, THEN sign in and only add a few apps (set Market auto update/restore off for the time being). Naturally do the apps your require daily first, and check stability for some time before adding back your 'fluff' apps. Often a poor app can be the culprit.
This happened to my nexus 7. I had it for about a month and i noiced that it started lagging really bad. Watching a video was just horrible and the responsiveness of it was bad. I just thought that it was a app or the custom rom i was running. I factory restored it and locked the bootloader and it still lagged. I just RMA'd it and i got a new one that was much better.

Actually the keyboard is screwed up too. In gesture typing it randomly draws lower on the keyboard than I'm actually drawing. I'm guessing that it is a hardware or touchscreen sensor problem. I did an RMA and Fido Asurion promised to have a replacement to me by July 3rd. The only problem is that they only seem to send out refurbished phones for RMA's.

Yeah..if it's acting up after a Factory Reset, then no amount of fiddling will solve it. Sorry man!

Video Issues on my Galaxy S4 GT-i9500

Hello, don't post here often but after encountering a very weird and annoying issue with my S4, I felt the need to post here. Whenever I try to view videos in Snapchat or click on a YouTube link from Facebook or something, my screen goes crazy. See videos below.
EDIT: Apparently I can't post video links until I make 10 posts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcL-rCP317Q&feature=youtu.be
http://youtu.be/VcL-rCP317Q
Also, here is the information about my S4 (I don't live in the United Emirates but apparently that's where my phone's from):
http://i.imgur.com/lDCo3r1.png
This issue sometimes fixes itself but it comes back. If anyone could provide a remedy for this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
I can't see your videos, but i think here is same issue. It is like a lot of flicks to full screen, right? Only happen with some players, others only a few flicks. It happen to me since one week ago when i had to reflash several roms (stock and cm11) with pit and full wipes trying to solve a different issue, and then i came back to my original Rom (TTT, also i9500).
EDIT: i saw your video, yes, same issue, but only when playing videos at full screen. Here a s4 from Latin America.

Yeah, pretty much. Once I go to full screen then back out of full screen, it fixes itself.
Anyone know of a fix?

This morning i found a half fix, and now i found another different fix...
Fix #1: (player settings) If your player has the option for software decoding/acceleration instead of hardware decoding, it will fix it. For example, i installed MX Player and at beginning it ask you if you want sw decoding. I pushed no and the issue occurred. Then i went to settings and changed to sw decoding and voilá... Also GPlayer and VLC players have this option (disable hardware acceleration).
Fix #2: (device settings). For all players even hardware decoding enabled (please, check and confirm i am right), android settings, more, developer options (you need to activate this hidden menu), scroll down to hardware-acelerated rendering, check last (turn off hardware overlays must be checked).
Enviado desde mi GT-P7510 usando Tapatalk 2
I tried fix #2 and it seems to be working so far. I'll have to play around with my phone for a little while to see if the problem has been completely remedied.
Alright, the issue seemed to be fixed but a couple days ago I noticed the issue was reoccurring. I went to the settings and noticed the hardware overlays option wasn't checked. I re-checked it and went along with my business. Few days after that, I noticed it was unchecked again
Also, I've been experiencing various apps either taking a long to load or respond which results with me force closing the app with the task manager. I did recently unmount the microSD card and put it back in my GS4 a couple days ago. Could there be a relation?

No, I don't think it could be related. Surely because high CPU usage that moment because one or more processes...

Sorry for the huge bump, but I still get these issues from time to time. Is there another way of remedying this without having to check the hardware overlays on all the time?

Camera keeps failing

I am not a power user like you guys, just a basic user so no roms or anything is installed other than nova launcher.
symptoms:
1)the regular back camera will work fine and take pics normally
2)if i try to switch to the front facing camera i get something like "camera failed" and it will freeze up and exit etc.
3)if i try to switch to video mode with the regular back camera the same thing happens.
4)both times i will have to clear cache through the system settings to get the regular back camera to start working again.
i have tried clearing cache through the system settings and also in the start up menu when you hold volume up+power+home button.
after those didn't work i even tried a factory reset which made me lose all my calender appointments and to do tasks even though i used app backup and restore
nothing has worked to fix this, what can i try next?
also, i think i got a lemon with this phone because most people really like this phone but my experience with it has been horrible. the thing has been laggy and buggy and things just stop working randomly including the ambient light sensor. i wish i could somehow trade this phone in for either a new one of these or something else.
GAH!! im sitting here updating my phone and its hot as hell. this thing frequently overheats. I never had any problems like this with the s1

The S4 always has an overheating issue when using it constantly depending on what you are doing, especially when charging it and using it at the same time. Google results came up with multiple 'solutions' for it, including multiple restarts, replacing the camera module, etc.
Has your phone ever been repaired? And have you tried using a new camera application?

Search Camera module on google. You'll see it's the camera hardware inside the phone. How old is the phone?

Stuttering with app drawer

Hello,
I just bought a moto X style 32gb, it works well except one thing : when I close the app drawer, sometimes it gets choppy, more when it comes to the home page at the same time. The weirdest thing is I got the exact same glitch with any third party launcher including nova.
I'm on stock 6.0.1 last update. I tried Factory reset, absolutely no app installed and still got the issue. The only workaround is to unable hw overlay, but then it is transitions which get choppy.
Didn't find any similar thread.
Thanks for helping.
Haven't heard of this... does it do it in safe mode?
Thanks for answering.
Yes it does the same thing un safe mode.
I managed to avoid this laggy animation by setting force GPU rendering and disable hw overlay. With these 2 options set together I got rider of any lag. But I assume it will make battery life suffer a little.
I'm tempted to Root and install some nougat Custom rom since we still don't know when we will exactly get it on OTA, maybe this summer... Which is long.

I've just done the same seems like the phone's bit more fluent. I woudln't bother with this Nougat ROM's as they say battery life is worse. I was thinking about unlocking the phone but my speaker grill is loose like it's hanging on one leg and I'm willing to sent it for on warranty heh. Also I found out that if You sent Your phone on warranty they're gonna changr Your back cover because it's mandatory part - the technician has to order it if he's loging the phone so You have like half refurb if U sent it on some software issue or whatever - they have to open the phone to check for liquids or whatever.
After some testing, I confirm the dev options make things better but still far from perfect. Still some micro lag when opening closing app drawer, and when opening a new page in chrome.
I don't understand this behaviour since I didn't find anything on internet, and I didn't have these issues with a LG G4 which has the same hardware, and notre running aosp like moto does more or less. I thought it would running better!
I'm gonna send it back as I bought it on Amazon a week ago.

Samsung S10+ One UI has lots of bugs

Anyone experiencing this?
The bugs that I faced so far:
- waze not responding after switching between apps. Once not responding, I have to close waze completely then open it again but I might need to wait few mins before it would start correctly
- just today the camera suddenly not responding. I have tried to close the apps but it would still shows blank screen. Then I restart the device then it was back to normal
- game rise of civilization would gave blank white screen from time to time after switching apps
- system UI not responding
I was coming from iOS, then change to vivo v9 before I use Samsung.
While the screen and design is a beauty, but even vivo had no bugs like Samsung.
Anyone face similar issues? Anyone know how to overcome this?

Never noticed such bugs on my device. Don't know about the game though because I didn't try it. Are you rooted ? or using some theming apps like Substratum ? You should try booting your phone in safe mode first to see if some app is causing problems. Last time when my Samsung phone's UI stopped working, the culprit was wrong theme applied from Substratum. So, check it first in safe mode, and if it still occurs in safe mode, do a factory reset or flash stock firmware using odin.
I have had none of those bugs.
Never experienced any of those "bugs" either.
Also, No bugs here...

No bugs here. Not even in beta versions using s8 ans s9. I suggest factory reset. Maybe download the latest odin firmware for your carrier and install that. This is the first thread i've seen with people having multiple concerns with One UI bugs.
The only bug I am getting is with the Spotify app. Ever since installing Galaxy Wearables and using Galaxy ear buds the Spotify app is really flakey. It hangs a lot of the time and I have to restart the device to get it to work. Has anyone else had this happen on their S10 plus?
Did not face any of those bugs at all
And did not try this game
No bugs here
I have a lot of apps on my phone, some since honeycomb and no problems either.
My 975U1 has been rock solid from day 1.
No bugs on my phone. But there are plenty roaches in my workplace
No bugs here.
No bugs. This is the least buggy phone I have ever had. No complaints. Coming from pixels and 6t
Not rooted... I will try the safe mode suggestion though...

Spotify works fine for me. On the phone and on Android Auto. Either uninstall and reinstall or go to apps settings and clear cache and data. Settings/Apps/Spotify/storage/ Clear cache then clear data buttons. Restart and try it out again.
