Same dead area etc, different story.

Same dead area etc, different story.

- Bought Verizon G2, used it stock with no problems for a few months.

- Rooted with Towelroot within days of all the press stories about Towelroot, used Xposed to fix some annoying LG featurebugs like USB animation, missing Search navigation button, etc. It worked normally for a week or two. Phone felt much snappier overall.

- Accepted the KitKat OTA update, which fixed the crackling Bluetooth music playback (unrelated but delightful).

- Bought and used for a short time a bamboo case (cheap, very nice, via Amazon) made for the AT&T G2, after routing the interior so my Verizon variant would fit. Fit very snug. Stopped using case.

- Dead zone appeared, followed by broken Knock On, followed by increasingly common ghost touches in the dead zone. Put up with it until ghost touches made using the phone risky.

- Unrooted, removed Xposed framework and modules in preparation for RMA. Put off factory reset because I always lose something important. Never sent the phone back. Weeks passed running stock again. (Still haven't factory reset the thing.)

- Stuffed phone back into the bamboo case for about one minute.

- Screen magically repaired itself within a day - all problems disappeared for no apparent reason.

- Used it stock for a couple months with no problems.

- Fed up with all the excruciating LG featurebugs, I rooted again two days ago, this time using Stump Root 1.2. Dead zone returned immediately, Knock On broken again same time. Looking forward to the return of the ghost touches.

Totally worth it to have the Xposed LG featurebug fixes. I can work around the dead zone until ghost touches email dirty photos to my entire contact list.

Hi guys, anyone fixed problem with ghost touches ? I don't habe problem with deadzones (everything is fine with this) but from time to time have ghost touches. I tried change kernel to other but nothing changed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobydoo99:
My 802 developed the ghost touches and dead zone, became almost unusable. Tried CM12 and it was as bad, possibly worse. Flashed back to a stock KDZ and the problem was still there - possible slight improvement. I've now installed the SGS touchscreen booster and that helped - but now I've disabled tap-tap and the phone seems to be working as normal.? Could the problem be software related to the tap-tap function?

Mahdi

I had this issue. where the screen did not respond right. It was fixed by turning the screen off and on.

Then I changed ROM to Mahdi. No issues there (for me at least).

Changed to CloudyG32.1 , Issue is back.

I did notice that it usually happens when browsing the internet and usually when looking at a a screen with white background and a lot of data (tables for example).

Basically browsing, looking a a bright screen which requires more CPU.

I don't get this problem enough to replace screen or phone.. just here and there to know that it's there. I would say, twice a week or so.

Problem

Hello guys , i'm new in this forum ....

i had a problem with my Lg g2 ( i have no idea , its a d80X , becouse on my box write d802 (znfd internation ) , but when i opened the back cover saw markers at D800 )

Before 3 days , i tried to update my firmware and i got a problem right now . MY touch screen doesnt response after update .Would you help me .... ? Tried .kdz and .tot method .... doesnt work. Is it possible to flash d800 firm to d802 ? ( becouse now i'm using d802 firmware and my touch doesnt work )
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
No it would not be correct to flash 802 firmware on d800.

Go into hidden service menu, undersettings you will find touch firmware option update that. It should resolve issue.

i fixed mine!

I have a Verizon lg g2 vs980 running cloudyg3 2.0. I was having this issue slightly after i was having headphone jack problems. So i replaced my headphone ribbon(with a used one). the problem got better but was there intermittently. Then i broke my screen and replaced it( with a new one). And the problem got worse but was in a different spot... After living with it for a while i realized if the headphone jack sits in a certain spot the dead spot goes away completely. I'm going to replace the ribbon again because i want a new one in my g2, but this time with a new one this weekend.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feign2:
These are kind of good news. It means that some unintended contact within the phone could cause a dead spot.

Today i replaced my broken screen with new one and immediately on powering up noticed a dead spot on new screen. I just hope that it is not defective but that it is a contact problem. I will try to disassemble it again and try to fixate things better.

Did perhaps anyone else encounter this kind of solution to dead spots?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos0202:
Thinks that i tested to solve problem.

Hi to all,

.

Well i will just tell all of you my experience with this problem. I was in CloudyG3 2.0 when the dead spot and phantom touch problem began, in my case it started as a finger size dead spot near of the home button, then it got bigger horizontal and vertical. Latter i began to read this post and tried first back to stock kernel using TOT, and i reverted to 11a JB [I have a LG G2 VS980]. When back to stock the problem was still there but was a little better to deal with it. Then i tried update touc filmware to see if it get the problem solved, but no luck with that. The last step was to upgrade to VS98027A, and when i finally upgraded i thought that the problem got solved, because the dead area was reduced to the home button area. But this morning i tested again using quickmemo and the dead area came back stroong than ever covering from the bottom buttons to the half of the screen vertically. So im almost sure that this is a combination of Hardware and Software problems related to some apps and/or phone usage. I didnt tried to change screen because i dont want to do it whitout further information of the source of this problem. Any other workaround its appreciated and sorry for my bad english, :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxrz:
Solved after tried everything

Kdz, tot, update touch screen firmware, kernels etc.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd779:
Mine started doing this earlier this week started as knock on not working, then today I couldn't slide the brightness bar in the notification menu. I think for me this has to be software related, because when I enable quick remote the area in side the quick remote box in the notification screen is plenty sensitive and registers all touches. When browsing the area registers all touches as well. I bought the phone used about 5 months ago. Definitely disappointing but as it is I can work around it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazyG:
I had issue as many here, and now do know it is hardware issue, but related to connector. I had a dead zone on top left part, and double touches on the bottom, and fantom touches. I opened the phone, removed bottom plastic, and played a little with connectors, till I make sure the connector has a bad contact. See picture attached. On the back of the bottom plastic there are some soft zones, to ensure better contact of the connector, but it seems like it wasn't enough. I have added 2 pieces of the electrical tape on top of the soft zone and put it back, issue has completely gone for me!

Ok, russians will save the day once again. :D

There is solution to dead zone problem, but its not permanent. As far as i can tell its safe (im using this trick for 3 months now) for phone.

You will need that little electric thing from any electric lighter. Turn off your phone and then discharge this little thing in your screen. It will work. I know its probably sounds stupid, but i can make a video if you not believe me. Problem will come back eventualy, but you will be able operate your phone normaly for 1-2 months.

You need to follow the unbricking guide in order to root and install CWM.
[LG Nitro HD] xordos:
if already rooted, you can use dd in a terminal to install recovery image to recovery partition. follow the exact instructions carefully. sorry, type in a cellphone, let me know if you can't find the instructions
[LG Nitro HD] audit13:
Do you have any links or instructions? I'll be doing this for a friend in a couple of weeks. I've rooted and installed CWM on a two P930 phones and have always used the unbricking guide.
[LG Nitro HD] xordos:
right, if already rooted, then you can just do the recovery part of the unbricking process, for example:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35373233&postcount=1

you only need to do the step 18 to 21, and actually no need to download the whole package

1. for recovery image, download it here:

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

make sure you download correct version, and rename it to recovery.img and place it in the root directory of your phone's SD card

2. Using adb is definitely easier, but if you are carefully enough, you can type same cmd in phone using following app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

3. Run above terminal app in you phone, and type: (be extremely careful, make sure you type them exactly as showed)

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

As always, there are chances for some phones, above step may fail, in that case, following complete unbricking process usually give better result.

To flash one of them, rename the IMG file to recovery, place it into your fastboot folder, boot into bootloader(fastboot mode) open command prompt navigate to your directory

Command to flash is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"

The preliminary steps are to unlock bootloader (which I assume he has done that or if he is on HBOOT 1.13.0000, then use Revolutionary to S-OFF and then flash custom recovery and root), flash ClockworkMod recovery, then flash a superuser.zip to obtain root.

Hey all, no doubt there has been discussion on how to obtain and load a new Windows Mobile 2005 OS onto the Blue Angel on this board, however, I couldn't find anything specific to my circumstance.

A friend loaded my MDAIII with a beta of Windows Mobile 2005, which has now become expired and the phone is not useable anymore. I need to load a final version of the OS on the device, but don't have the rom or the tools to do it, and generally don't know how. I have checked

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/

briefly, but wasn't sure what I need. During the use of the beta the camera on the phone was not operational either. Maybe there is a separate set of files to make that work.

I was using an Unrooted OPTIMUS 4X HD from which I've now migrated to Nexus 4 because my phone was giving problems with the display. The backup which I had saved is in the form of .sbf using the default LG Backup & Restore App.

I'm unable to figure how to transfer my contacts which are stored in the backup to my new phone. Suprisingly there's nothing much online as well. Most restore apps use .vcf format for contacts but not this particular one. Is there any way I can get hold of the preloaded app that comes with LG 4x HD? Or is there another way to get them back?

backup NEVER to pc something that you can back it up on a cloud. this is something apple tought me while using iphone 4s. its better to use for contacts for example the contact importer.

anyway. no there is nothing u can do. this file format u got there its not just contacts , but a whole restore to the point u created this restore. ony if someone very very EXTREMELY nice guy using stock rom, wants to help you by restoring his phone to your backup, extracting the contacts and restoring back to his own backup. then just send you the contacts.
