There seems to be a dead spot on the touchscreen near the top. It's there on the stock ROM and on custom roms (both AOSP and ROMs based on LG's UI). Do you guys have the same issue?

My first one developed that after some time, same place too. Went to verizon, showed them that, and they replaced it with a "certified like-new" which thankfully seems to be new as far as i could tell.

Saw it already reported here before. But I do not have it.
It's been reported several times here, in 99% of the time an update fixed that.
Which version do you have?

I have the LG-D801 aka T-Mobile US version. The software version on it is D80110C_00. I used the LG flashing tool and flashed a .kdz file named "T-Mobile USA D80110C_00.kdz" since I bought it from craigslist and wanted it back to 100% stock (guy sold it for $80 since he rooted it and then did the OTA which caused him to go into that recovery boot loop issue and only way to fix it was to flash that .kdz file)
I'm not rooted and I am not using a custom recovery. I guess I'll do the OTA update the phone was bugging me to do.
EDIT; Installed the latest OTA. The issue is still there but it did decrease the dead zone. The biggest problem is that I can't press "install" for apps in the play store since the button is right in the dead zone.
Getting the same problem here on my device, suddenly. I updated to the new Kit Kat update (I'm on Sprint) but didn't seem to make a difference. How annoying this suddenly happened and my phone was not dropped or damaged or anything. My other friend with a G2 had the issue and it went away on its own over time somehow. i'm noticing the bar where I have trouble is aligned exactly with the power button on the back, so I wonder if that has something to do with it, in the hardware.
Hi I have the same problem too, affects where the install open button area on Play Store near the top right. I am running CloudyPro 2.1.
Did you manage to fix this problem?

This is very weird, same thing happened to me today around noon, phone was fine all morning, then dead zone in same area, wth is this, is At&t or LG doing something ota that we do not know about.
edit: just wanted to add, I am on the D800
I'm don't think so as I'm on a custom rom. I've heard from some on xda the update fixes it but I've used the stock KitKat Rom and no luck there. I'm now using cloudy flex 2.2 still the dead zone is there.

Same issue here too. Stock Verizon G2 on Kitkat. Can't click on install button when in play store. Turned on the 'show touch' in developer mode and it doesn't recognize the install button when on an individual app in the play store, it shows as touch above or below it. It also skips the button when i run my finger across the screen.

Funny how this happened to me right after the ota as well...
Dead zone in the same spot ..
And well in order to fix it( the install button atleast) is to change the DPI to 330
I called lg and they gave me an authorization to send it in for repair.
Call and see what they tell u guys
This happened to me this week as well, unfortunately in Canada none of the carriers will replace my device for me, LG says its user damage and are gonna charge me 125 dollars to fix it. I'm gonna see what the local repair shop says and hopefully theyll just fix it for me. It seems like this is an increasingly common issue, it's a shame that LG don't recognize that we didn't damage our phones, they sold us defective units. I'm very unhappy with LG's customer service, we should raise awareness of this and hopefully LG will come up with a solution for us
Yep. VS980 Stock Kit kat rooted with TWRP 2.7.0.0
Same exact issue. Same exact spot. Can't hit install on the play store. Haven't tried taking it to Verizon yet. I bought my phone through Target though I hope Verizon will replace it if it is in fact a hardware issue. I'm not gonna try and take it in until after I try a couple different ROMS to make sure it is a hardware issue.
I am on D800 was on CloudyFlex when it happened so it has nothing to do with OTA exactly, I returned to fully stock At&t 4.2.2 and it was still there. I am getting a replacement under warranty. Something weird is definitely happening if so many have seen this issue. It is almost like a timer going off in phone coding and bam that part of screen is deactivated. Whatever it is, this will be my last LG phone. Never had an issue with my iphone or galaxy s2 skyrocket.
Same problem here, VS980. It started happening right after I tried the newest build of CloudyStock with knock on support. I've been browsing through multiple CloudyROM threads and I'm seeing identical problems, (including the exact area of the dead spot, around where the install button is on the Play Store). I can't post in any of them because a. I don't have enough posts, b. Cloudy in his FAQ states that the VS980 is only for testing. I've tried flashing different AOSP and Stock roms including the latest PA and XDABBEB builds and the problem crosses over after full wipes. Has anyone figured out a way to fix this yet other than returning the phone for another?
To be clear: This phone has no damage to it whatsoever. No scratches anywhere including the screen, etc. I'm worried about how Verizon will take a warranty seeing as there's an "UNROOTED" flag in the bootloader.
Has anyone tried to update touch firmware?

I've read some people do it to no avail, but I'd like some confirmation on that. The service menu still hasn't been discovered on the VS980 from what I've read. It's not the same code with a different model number at the end like the D802. For example, Every other model of the G2 is 3845#*XXX#, but the Sprint model is 5689#*980#. 3845#*980# for the VS980 doesn't work.
Dang. Now im worried to update.

Good day, i am not sure if this is the correct section to post this.
Ever since i upgraded my tmobile lg g2 to lollipop i noticed that the live effect has been removed in the camera app. Is there way for me to bring it back aside from downgrading it to kitkat? Thanks in advance
Hi everyone. I did the dirtysanta root, went great, flashed the us996 deox rom, great again, but on neither the us996 nor the stock ls997(im sprint) the camera app is broke. Kind of. When i launch it the views are switched. When in selfie it uses my back camera and vise versa. Now i can install another camera app to work around it so its not a huge deal, but i like the stock v20 camera app. I dont know how or even if its fixable. Any help will be of use. Thanks to all who help in advance. Ps. If in wrong section im sorry, never posted before, please just let me know.
Same here...
Eager to see if there's a way to fix...hadn't realized how much I used the camera!!!:crying:
Weird how it's crapped out like that, never heard of that before on any phone.
@raenemaker are you on the same variant, ROM and network as the OP? You'll stand more chance getting help if you include as much info as possible.

Hey everyone! This is the first time I ever get an unlocked phone. I am moving from a samsung s5 and when I rooted it, I saw that with certain roms (cm 13) had issues with data not working on Boost Mobile. I would always have to stick with stock rom variants which was sometimes annoying. Now that I got this phone though, does anyone know if there are problems like this on certain roms? Been awhile since I've done this since there was a lot of issues on boost

I have cdma as well (Verizon towers through straight talk) and have no issues on any ROM. I'd say give it a try and I bet they work.

Think I might as well do it and test it. Any ROM you'd recommend?
Lineage is a great basic rom, and RR is based on LOS, but has a TON of customization.
something i did notice, is that you lose a lot of the sprint specific things on LOS roms (Update PRL, Set to Global Mode, and some dial codes)
something to think about.
Either way, you can always just trwp backup the stock, and go bac if needed
had a buddy accidently ruin his boost by flashing a h870 rom to it and he could no longer pick up data or call with his boost phone so im wondering what roms are there for this model? always used cyanagenmod for my phones but been on android the past few years. really just wanna get rid of the bs that comes with the lg g6 phone.

Any word on this? Is this phone seriously unpopular, wildly challenging to unlock, or just a POS? The lack of options is painful!
