[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ettepetje:
I discovered that my fingers got remembered (stayed) on the screen if I left 5 of them on the screen. Happened only ones though. Then I tried puting my whole hand on it for a few seconds and then the multitouch algorithm went bananas. Tried with different Multi-touch app too. I think this is a software issue, from the looks of it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ettepetje:
SwiftKey has been giving me problems on my 2014 Note 10.1 from day 1, but they had become 10 times worse today. I just rebooted my Note and it now behaves as normal (still somewhat buggy SwiftKey, like before). I think there are some issues in the Multitouch driver which can be triggered by the "whole hand" method described above, and possibly by other means. My MT driver had already become unstable, hence I could reproduce a defect (finger touches remaining on the screen) without the "whole hand" thing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ettepetje:
Kizune, I included your video in a topic about this Multi-touch issue, I hope you don't mind.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Kizune:
Of course it's okay. :) Let's just hope that Samsung will fix the problem ASAP, it annoys the hell out of me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Itchiee:
I found the newest beta of Swiftkey to be buggy on the Note 1014 so I removed it and went back to Swype.

Too bad as I was enjoying the split keyboard mode.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ettepetje:
I will very probably be doing the same. Thanks for getting back on topic. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] SlimJ87D:
I installed SwiftKey for tablets, not the phone version. Absolutely no problems typing for me on my note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ettepetje:
I use the same (Tablet) version. Possibly it is caused by a combination of settings. I have most (aiding) options switched off. If I find the time I will experiment.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] redstar299:
Try "Touchpal"..it's similar to Swiftkey.. it's free and has plenty of thenes. I actually like it better
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] razzbaronz:
Newest SwiftKey is running perfectly for me on the Note 2014. It's so nice to be able to have a compact keyboard you can undock and move from any part of the screen to another. So convenient for applications. Highly recommended, please try it if you haven't

Hi all,

I have seen a couple of posts about this. My job takes me across the nordic regions, and the Middle east. The K-jam will not roam, it shows as being connected to the network - but it has no signal.

This is easily fixed, as you can perform a soft reset, but it is a bug.

I had a universal, and it did not have this problem - hopefully it will get fixed with a ROM in the future.
[HTC One X] virtualflyer:
I think that with sense 5 our phone has regained new life and now it works perfectly well and I wouldn't need to change it anytime soon since it's stable and really really fast. Just some games, but not a real problem.

Now I've tried some aosp roms like bam rom or probam but they're really laggish and unstable. it seems like a single core phone from 2011 or so...

Is there an aosp rom (possible something that has paranoid features) that can really compete with a sense 5 rom?

For now I'm reverting to sense, but it's really strange, till last year sense was heavy and aosp was light and fast, now...
[HTC One X] Dexxmor:
CM 10.2 is faster than Sense 5, almost every AOSP is faster than Sense 5. Every ROM with "BAM" is ..... Fu**ed up in performace, try one of the real AOSP ROMs.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cst79:
Hi,

I think I discovered what seems to be a critical software bug regarding the signal of the LG G2 in weak signal environments.

In my house, the signal is generally very weak. However, it is usable. But when the phone shows 0 bars of signal due to it being placed in a very weak signal spot or hands covering the antenna, the signal strength never comes back and my number cannot be called until I take one of the following actions:

If I turn the Wi-Fi off, the signal comes back instantly. If I make a call, the signal comes back instantly and I can make the call. And if I turn the airplane mode on and then off, the signal reappears.

This has never happened on my Nexus 4, and it only happens inside my house where I have a weak signal.

Any ideas regarding the resolution of this ? Can I boost the signal sensitivity from somewhere in a secret menu ?

I hope that this issue will be solved in an upcoming update, but I can't be sure.

PS: I am running the International version of the G2, on Vodafone Romania.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveHTC200:
I have seen a similar issue at times, on international version!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm79k:
I have no issues with my D802.

Coming out of the elevator at work (where I usually lose the signal) the phone connects automatically every single time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cst79:
Of course. My phone also reconnects every time after a no-signal area, this situation is probably well-tested by LG. The problem only seems to occur in an area with a constant weak signal.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
Hi,

There are options in wifi setting that may help especially the low signal setting. Have you play around with it?

-LG G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cst79:
Yes I did, altered both those settings and nothing improved.

However, I did a factory reset today and I couldn't reproduce the problem anymore, until now it appeared at least 2-3 times daily, there are a few hours with no problems already. But I'm not convinced that the problem is solved.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z_Black:
You aren't by chance seeing the signal drop off because of Wi-fi calling are you? I noticed the signal dropping completely when I was connected to my home network, then realized the Wi-Fi calling feature takes over for calls, textxs etc.. If I turn wifi off, it comes right back, similar to what you're seeing, though our circumstances may be different. Reception at my place is spotty at best as well and sometimes I'm roaming on at&t and other times I'm on a native tmobile tower.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cst79:
No, it's definitely a signal issue. I put a prepaid SIM card in it from another phone operator. The signal is much stronger and I don't have any signal drop problems anymore. The only problem is that I am tied by contract to the first operator, so this is only good for testing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
I have just had this problem twice today. I was in a low signal area and the bars showed a red x next to them with emergency calls only. I went to another area i know has strong signal but it didnt reconnect like it should. Eventually it came back after about 25 mins but it should come straight back and not leave me without use of my phone for that length of time. I never had this problem with my s3!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
I have a serious problem with my phone

I also have very critical bug with my LG G2 international version reception quality.

I have never experienced the same problems with Galaxy S3

It seems to loose network connectivity, it seems randomly, bit happens more often when wifi is turned on :(

And also if I use the network actively it happens more often :(

I have sent it in for reparis (after only having it for 5 days) and my retailer sent it to LG themselves. They have checked the phone and say it passes all tests :(

Now I have also ordered a new SIM card, but the problem persists. The first day I lost signal 11 times. The last days I have lost it maybe 2-7 times a day.

It takes approx 1 minute to find signal after it has been lost :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
Am gasit o problema relativ similara cu semnalul pe al meu - uneori, cand deschid ecranul, metrul de semnal arata 0 cateva secunde si apoi full. Sunt pe Orange.

I found a rather similar problem on my phone - sometimes, when I turn the screen on, the signal meter shows 0 bars then full signal. Found on Orange Romania.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goran60:
I had a similar problem with the Desire HD, but when I changed ADEQUATE RADIO.IMG things have come on their own and the problem did not appear. However, now the problem of international LG G2 is repeated as in the posts in the above men. This leads me to the conclusion that with the next update and new radio.img things come into its own.

Hopefully, that will happen.

Could experienced developers who advertise on this topic to get involved and contribute and help.

thank you
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digilz:
Hi.

I just went online looking for an answer to this very same problem because I got fed up with my LG G2 losing its signal several times a day (and at ridiculously sensitive times). So I cam across this forum.

I got this POS of a smartphone less than a month ago after doing a bit of research and have been contemplating doing one of two things to resolve this issue: A- throw the damn thing against the wall and hope it smashes into a few hundred pieces because I'm that peeved, or B- take it in for repairs because LG should probably stick to making TVs and quit competing with real cell phone manufacturers when it's not their game to play anyway. Either option would be a total inconvenience as you could imagine.

Since I spent considerable cash on this poor gimmick and waste of raw materials that could have been better utilized making door handles or key chains, I am stuck trying to recover what is ultimately a write off of nearly $585. Afterall, what's a phone if it has no signal?! Everyone went ahead and got a Samsung or an iPhone, but I had to stick out like a sore thumb and get this signal-losing second class (G2) of a phone.

If mighty LG can't sort this out, can anyone on this forum possibly give a hand or shed some light on an alternative option to the above so we can at least feel the $585 didn't completely go to waste? I have a strong signal nearly everywhere I go, but little Mr. G decides to have a nap when it's convenient for him, not me.

Thanks.

no signal

You can use the app: no signal alert, and it will reconnect each time you lose signal.

Works great :good:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
Had a dropped call today while sitting in a shopping mall. I took the phone from my ear and noticed the empty signal bar, which then became a full bar.

So what's it gonna be, software or hardware fault?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTM:
Same issue in Denmark on D802

I also have this issue. It seems to drop the signal randomly a couple of times a day even though the signal strength is fine before and after the signal drop. It usually reconnects pretty quickly, but sometimes it take several minutes. Today, after being in the basement (where the signal is weak) it had dropped the signal and hadn't reconnected after 5 minutes being outside where the signal should be fine. I restarted the phone and it reconnected...

I don't know if this is related, but I have also experienced several times that it drops calls randomly (and I'm not big on calling), even though it still seems to have a good connection. The call just suddenly disconnects and since it has happened while talking to at least three different people I'm pretty sure the issue is on my end.

My operator (Bibob in Denmark) has recently added LTE to their network, but seeing as others have had similar issues with the phone I don't think the network is the issue. I didn't have these issues with the Samsung Galaxy S on the same network (albeit before they got LTE).

By the way, I have almost always WiFi turned off, so that shouldn't have influence on my issues.

I would think it's a software issue since a restart seems to make it reconnect, so I'm crossing my fingers either LG soon comes out with an update or some clever developer can solve this.

I found the solution here!!!!! the comment says: Good solution. I popped the SIM card with power on, counted to 20, put it back in, then cycled the power. Now I get 4G and have made and received calls. Thanks for saving me a trip! I made it and it worked perfectly and instantly (sorry for my english kisses!!! and have a good day (i found this in another web site)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold3ndrag0n:
I believe I have the same issue on AT&T's D800 version. It happens to me sometimes after hanging up from a call. I've swapped out the phone 3 times and found this issue on 3 of the 4 phones. My original didn't seem to have this problem but I swapped it because of another problem. Could either be an LG software issue or something to do with the radio. The reason why I said that is because my original G2 whenever I make a voice call the signal doesn't drop from 4GLTE to regular 4G like these 3 phones I've used after. This happens when I make a voice call and hang up, sometimes instead of switching from 4G back to 4GLTE it just drops everything.

But I also think it could have something to do with reading the SIM after the radio switch to be causing the drop because if you try to dial out when this problem occurs it would actually tell you "Emergency calls only" like when you have no SIM card installed, if it was a problem of not having a signal only then it should tell you call failed or something to that effect. At least that's what I think. I've searched around the internet the past few days and found nothing, this thread is probably the only one so far that I've seen mentioning this problem.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegafiler:
The only times I've had connectivity issues with my Sprint LG G2 is when there are tower issues. Which I've confirmed with Sprint, when such a problem should present itself. If the towers are good, so is the signal. Although I have found the signal bars to be lower than the actual signal. At least when compared to the SignalCheck app.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
I'm starting to think it's often merely a cosmetic bug. I set Tasker up to monitor its cell signal variable and pop a notification when i have no signal. Surprisingly it does that much less often than when i see empty bars.

Or maybe Tasker doesn't check often enough. :rolleyes:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold3ndrag0n:
Like I said, I don't think the problem is signal. When you make a call on a phone with no signal it'll either say something like call failed or won't go thru. By it saying emergency calls only and I didn't want to test it by dialing 911, I'm thinking it doesn't read the SIM right and/or something going on with the radio switching... else why would it say "Emergency calls only" like it does when there's no SIM or the SIM isn't activated. And again, normally when you make a call with no signals it either doesn't go thru or says call failed... so it's not acting like there's no signal, it's acting like either it's not recognized on the network or something to that effect.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidkid311:
Yeah I'm getting that signal bug as well. Annoying. Hope it's fixed in KitKat. People having the problem are you using stock ROM???
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourl6:
Hi Guys,

I've got the same issue, when i unlock the phone its often 1 bar/no bars with a little spinning circle.

If i check in the cell standby details in battery usage, it says,

Time On 14h 11m

Time without signal 53%

The Up time is 27h

I get alot more missed call messages without it even ringing.

My old phone was a HTC One X with no cell reception issues.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold3ndrag0n:
I'm on a bone stock ROM, haven't even touched anything. It's happened to me on the original shipped ROM of the phone D80010d(AT&T) and on their updated D80010o. The weird thing is I've had 4 of these phones. The original one ran both versions of their stock ROM and experienced NO issues relating to this problem. I swapped it because at the time I didn't know the problems were caused by D80010o's bugs. I should have kept that phone. Since the original I've swapped 3 more new G2s from AT&T and they all exhibit this problem. From just opening the box and putting the SIM in, if I keep making calls and hanging up, eventually this problem will be replicated. And I've also tried updating to D80010o to see if it fixed the bug... sadly it hasn't while introducing a new volume bug.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aiki123:
I may have a partial fix here.

I kept getting signal drops as well when my network settings where set to

GSM/UMTS/LTE AUTO

But when I set is to

GSM/UMTS AUTO

I have no more signal drops.

Only problem I have now is when I disconnect from Wifi my phone doesn't automatically switch to 3G or HSPDA for that matter.

Well maybe it's something you guys can try hope it works for you as it worked for me.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstrong:
It might be helpful if folks posting to this thread identify their carrier and radio type (GSM / CDMA / etc). On Verizon (in the US) I haven't seen anything like this -- and my home, and especially basement office, the signal is quite weak: my old Galaxy Nexus would struggle to make use of what little signal was available in the basement, and in some spots, my G2 is a borderline 1 bar down there. However I've seen none of the issues described in this thread. My impression is that this seems to be happening on GSM phones -- international and AT&T. This might also tie in with the prior post, suggesting that GSM hand-off may have issues. Suggest people add this extra info (carrier / radio type) to posts here so we can see if there's any kind of clear pattern.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klotar:
It sounds like it's working as intended. Wait -- before you lynch/stone me, here's what I mean.

First off, and I mean it sincerely, it does suck that the G2 does not perform as you might expect in low signal areas and that some feel that it is a piece of junk under those circumstances. I can understand that.

But look at it this way... in a decent signal area, the phone probably checks for signal at regular intervals (which varies by device), pretend for this example it's every 30 seconds. If the user is in a low to no signal area, and the last ten checks every 30 seconds still had no signal or low signal, "odds are" that the next signal check 30 seconds from now isn't going to be much different. So, the phone might increase the interval before checking again, to maybe every two minutes. Why? To conserve the battery, checking every 30 seconds (in the example) uses a certain amount of battery power. Checking more often would use more, less often would use less, and checking at current interval is "likely" pointless (not necessarily true but has merit).

So it may have increased it's interval to like every 10 minutes (again, just a made up example), and now you step outside the house and into a good signal area. But wait, it's still zero bars when there should be full bars, arrrgggghhhh!!!! Well, my long winded example is just to illustrate that it might be on it's 10 minute signal check interval. However, doing anything with the radio's (wifi on/off, airplane mode, make a call, etc.) will be enough to trigger it to recheck signal now.

I may have oversimplified it but I believe that this is a layman's explanation of what is happening. So to answer the hardware/software question... software.
