Hello all.
First of all, sorry for my English. After few years of good perfomance, the LG G2 D802 with stock mod started to perfom slowly like a film in slow motion, e.g.. it takes a second to show each character in the screen that i am writing now. In addition, when the display turns locked it is impossible to unlock it without reseting the device.
I tried with a hard reset but the problem didn't solved. The superuser android test for the proximity sensor passed ok (I think). Have you seen this before? Can anybody help me with this?.
Edit. The poperty high temperature off enabled maybe let it run a bit faster but still with long delay. A few times the device starts to work as fast as it was new but this situation is for a little while, an incoming call or similar returns the device to the "lag" mode.
It is amazing, now the phone runs like the first time, seems unbelievable it runs better than ever, after battery charge but I havent done anything special ... So at this point it is a hardware or a software issue?
Android version: 4.4.2.
Kernel: 3.4.0
Soft. D80220h-EUR-XX
Conpilation KOT49I.D80220h
UPDATE: Problem returns as I expected. So I have open the cover and check connections, all seems ok but I left a small piece of paper above the proximity sensor just in case, it dint work.
Ocasionally the screen performs a kind of flickering, e.g for a few seconds I can see the top half of the screen just in the bottom half of the screen... any idea for next step? nobody is using LG G2?.
UPDATE : I have Flashed stock rom lollypop 5.0.2. And it seems that now the unlock problem is solved, but the lag remains,it is crazy, two seconds from push letter until it appears on the screen...
Maybe it seems a hardware issue, now I am considering this steps:
1) Flash kk again 4.4.2 and hard reset. Just in case, but no hope that it works.
2) if it is a hardware issue, it can be a problem with flex cable or display or digitizer or proximity sensor or motherboard or other I don't know or a mix.
3) Hit the mobile against the wall
At this point, Did anybody deal with something similar?

Hey all,
I've read these forums, and am 90% sure I have a defective Hermes. However, I'm unsure, as these forum posts were just text, and therefore can't really accurately describe the problems being seen. So, I made a YouTube video showing a couple of my issues, especially the screen fading to white. Like I say, I'd just like confirmation, and I'd like this post and video to serve as a help to others who are wondering if they have the same problem. You know what they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words .
Here are more details of my problems, in no particular order:
o The buttons reset after a quick power off and on (not a reset).
o The screen fade problem resets itself after a quick power off and on (not a reset).
o The screen calibration issue (not shown in video) seems to last a little longer sometimes. The issue is that calibration gets a little off. It seems to be by 10-20 pixels, but I can't repeat this as readily as the screen fade.
o This has happened with and without a memory card inserted.
o I've tried two different batteries, with the same results.
o I've tried three different firmwares (original, WM5 update, WM6 Black 2.0).
o The battery quick powerdown issue has only happened to me once (battery drains 10% every minute).
Here's the link to the video. It's only 84 seconds, so take a peek!

Let me (and others) know your thoughts. It'd be appreciated.
PS... about the screen calibration...
FYI, I know about the screen calibration issues some have had wth the Hermes. However, I don't think this is that problem, since I never, ever have to recalibrate my phone. It always corrects itself eventually.

This has been documented HEAVILY in the wiki and the forums so I wont answer that.
The rest seems VERY weird indeed especially the screen going white?!?!
Is it still in warranty because I would so send it to be repaired.
Not seen anything like that on any forum. Are you keeping it somewhere hot or near an e.m. field just before use?
What additional apps have you installed? Do these problems still occur with an "empty" phone (i.e. right after a hard reset before installing third party apps)? If so then that should rule out software and firmware (ROM).
Fade to white issue: hardware problem IMO
Buttons stop working issue: looks like software IMO

I agree, the screen going white is similar to when I had my O2 XDA EXEC (HTC Universal) in which whenever I moved the lcd into the mini laptop mode the screen would fade to pure white. When I sent it into PPC Tech they notified me saying in which the lcd cable was damaged itself. Im not sure if thats the case with you necesarily, since it seems the screen goes back to normal after powering the device to standby and back.
The keys are most likely software/rom issues. Perhaps maybe you should reflash to a recent rom and see what happens. Although if that doesnt work I suggest you send in for replacement or warranty. I neeever in the 6 months I had my phone did I ever have problems like the one you've listed.
::EDIT::
I just realized I saw that you tried multiple roms, if thats the case I realllly believe you have a defective phone. It does happen that one in a hundred tend to go bad..
Had similar occurance when mine had gotten damp.
fading screen and hardware buttons
Hi,
I've reported some time ago these issues, they started with LVSW Edition (2007-03-20) and after that Pro - BLACK 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and still with 3.01.
I don't think is hardware related. i happens in random way. No specific apps or time or connection.
I've had similar issues with the buttons not working on my 8525. It seems to have to do with changing in and out of landscape mode. For example, I'll always have problems if I reset the phone and leave it in landscape mode and I always have to push the keyboard in and pull it back out to get everything working right.
If the buttons DO work, they are usually wrong, like up and down will instead move left to right. Again, pushing in and pulling out the keyboard fixes it for me. I recently upgraded to a new ROM and couldn't say if the problem persists or not.
As for the white screen issue - I'd say it's FUBAR'd.
Hello
I have a problem with my touchscreen. The lower part is not working like it should.
I found a video with on youtube explaining the problem :
youtube dot com/watch?v=LxeIvr7xV9w
What is strange is that when i flash a new rom (1.5) the hero is working good at the begin , it is after i install some apps that the problem begins.
Is it software or hardware related ?
Anyone got the same problem ?
It gets worse over time, especialy when the divice gets warmer. After cooling down, the screen reaction is better.
I had my screen replaced for warranty. Device was picked up and returned within 10 days.
Very good service.
Hi guys
I bought G2 with broken screen, replaced that with new screen - everything was fine. I did upgraded rom to higher version, after that screen become very difficult to operate. I had to press it very hard to make it work, and obviously no swipe option.
I disconnected all pieces and put together and there was no changes, however I realised that when I push back of the motherboard with force sometimes screen become responsive as normal, it works couple of seconds and become difficult again.
I have tried to localise the exact place when is a problem but it's like a lottery, sometimes it works in left corner, sometimes I have to twist motherboard a little bit.
I have read about motherboard problems on G2, but in this case it stopped to work after rom upgrade and it sometimes works fine so there is a chance to fix it I presume.
Any ideas folks?
Hello folks,
I've googled a lot but maybe I used the wrong terms or it's a rare problem. But my phone has a small annoying bug. The bug I'm facing was always there but after the latest update it occurs much more.
Most of the time it happens when you unlock the phone and start typing. In the video below you can see the problem.
Sometimes the recent apps and back button refuse to work while this happens. Not always.
Is there anyone else that suffers from this strange behabior?
I allready tried to remove the TPU case but that didn't solved the problem.

the solution is simple,just make sure ur fingers aren't wet!
Over a period of time (if you looked at your phone at an angle with the light reflecting off) the Gorilla Glass the phone needs to be wiped down, preferably with a micro-cloth (the same type you use on glasses). The oils on your hand, combined with sweat/water, can do freaky things with the touchscreen.
I have been using a stylus most of the time to type and interact with my S7E phone. Not only that I like it better I find it with my big fingers I am more accurate when I am typing and interacting with the phone.
But do not forget this S7E is completely covered with Gorilla Glass and needs to be cleaned like all other types of glass does...good luck.
Cheers!

The exact same thing is happening in my case (atleast has become more pronounced since the latest update), the recent apps & back button become unresponsive after you unlock the phone and there are random ghost touches. The problem seems to normalise after you lock & unlock the phone using the power button. Any insight on the same would be helpful.
I cleaned the phone multiple times. Actually I clean it every day.
As arun.subrm says. It goes away when you lock and unlock the phone.
Very strange. Actually it gets worse after every update. Today it happened over 3 times in 4 hours. Rediculous and very annoying. It makes it an unreliable product this way. You don't know when it will happen.
Still waiting for that moment when I accidentally buy a living room couch on ebay or something xD.
Hello,
Since a few days, the touch input of my front (LCD) screen stopped working. Nothing looks damaged, the screen still displays what it is supposed to, but there is no reaction to my inputs (actions on volume and power buttons do work, as well as on the e-ink screen). Did this happen to any of you? Any suggestion on possible ways to fix it?
I should also mention that it still works by moments, like half a day working, then 2 days not responding, etc. I tried shaking it in different ways should a connector be slightly displaced, with no success: the few times it started working again came like a (good) surprise. I also had the great idea to do a factory reset, so now the phone is stuck on the Android configuration wizard, which must be done on the front screen (no possibility to use YotaMirror, apparently).
Thanks!

i recommend reflash it. possibly and more strongly recommend to flash the same version and region which was installed for example HongKong 4.4.3 baseband number .HK1.0.36a

Actually, I forgot that the front screen was replaced several months ago (by a repairer that mistakenly changed the front screen instead of the e-ink one which was having an issue).
The factory reset didn't improve the situation, the front screen becoming "touch-insensitive" every few days. After checking how the screen connectors are supposed to be plugged (opposed to the screen), I noticed that gently tapping the phone front screen down helped to solve the issue each time it happened. A few days ago, I finally opened the phone (quite easy, there are two useful videos online) and unplugged/replugged the screen connector. It has been working fine since then.
If it happens to anybody (who would have its front screen replaced), I hope it can help!
