Issues with top of touch screen - unsure of cause and how to fix?

Hi fellas, I've got my D802 working on Carbon Rom, which had its screen and digitizer replaced two months ago. It was working great up until a few days ago when I started experiencing issues with the touch screen, particularly at the top. It often incorrectly thinks I'm pressing many different areas simultaneously, and fails to accurately track where I've touched areas at the top of the screen (particularly around the notification bar - it often thinks I'm trying to pull it down when I just want to interact with something towards the top of the screen). Here's a screenshot of where thinks I'm touching it:

(I can't seem to post a link as I have an insufficient number of posts, but if you still want to see it, it's at imgur, finishing with: /9EfmNcw.jpg

I'm unsure what's causing this, but I'm starting to think it might be hardware related as when I put pressure on the phone and particularly when I twist it slightly at the corners it registers at many different points. It should be noted that with the replacement the screen wasn't sitting completely rock solid - while it has been sitting flush, corners of it can be pulled up, as one side of it hasn't stuck particularly strongly. I haven't put it under any undue stress, however. No drops or anything since I had to replace the screen. The only thing I can think I may have done was slightly twist the phone here and there by the corners, but never forcefully.

I've also gone to test it out in TWRP and the problems persist there, so I'm thinking it might not be the ROM, or even software related, which is really worrying. Could anyone please let me know what the problem might be, or how I could resolve it? Thanks so much for any help!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
what does the 4th icon on the navbar do?

did you get only digitizer replaced or the entire display(lcd+digitizer), you mentioned the corners could be lifted a little; if you only got digitizer replaced maybe something got in(dirt/sand/pebble) and it could be causing pressure around inside, or depending on what was used to paste the screen back onto phone(special thin layer tape) could have gotten loose and is touching the layer of wiring that goes around the digitizer; It's hard to say without taking the device apart and looking inside

Network Issues with LS980

:confused:Hello Everyone, hopefully someone can lend a hand here. So I was following the install guide for the OptimusPro Rom V4.4 on the ls980. Once I finished installing the rom I didn't notice that it had auto selected to boot before I updated the baseband. So it booted just fine with the old baseband minus data. So I restarted back into recovery and wiped everything clean. Reinstall the rom this time also flashing the baseband provided with the link.

So everything is a ok minus the fact that I can't place calls or use data or use anything that really makes this a phone.I decided to restore my old Vanir AOSP rom and low and behold still nothing so I flash the ZVC radio which is what my phone should have had in the first place and still nothing. So i wipe everything and install the Hellfire stable build and flash the ZVC radio.

Now after a few minutes after boot I can't place phone calls or send texts. If I try to place a call it will hang with the dialer and the timer will count but it won't ring and won't allow me to hang up the phone. The device isn't frozen because I can go back to the homescreen and use it. Attached is a screenshot of my phone info with rom, kernal, baseband the whole shebang.

EDIT: I was finally able to get the Return to stock tut to work. But unless otherwise noted I will leave this up in case anyone else runs into this issue. If this breaches any rules please delete or let me know and I will delete it. Cheers
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beefyc:
The fourth button from the left on the navbar is "last app", which immediately switches to the last app you were using without bringing up the recent apps menu. It's particularly good when you turn off the window transition animations in developer options, so that switching between apps is lightning fast. It's a huge selling feature for me to the point of only wanting to use ROMs which support it. I'd highly recommend trying it out.

I replaced both the digitizer and the LCD. Initially tried to replace the digitizer only but broke the LCD in the process (trust me, the repair is as difficult as everyone says - I was extremely careful). So in the end I replaced both with a LCD which came with a new digitizer stuck directly onto it. They appear to sit completely flush and I'd be very surprised if there was anything between the two other than the adhesive the manufacturer used.

I should also mention that just today I'm occasionally seeing flickers of black and white lines on the screen, perhaps once every 30 min - 1 hr, which was recently talked about in the Carbon Rom thread about being a potentially LCD breaking issue (with the lines being permanent). Fortunately, they are just flickers at least for the moment. This doesn't completely allay my concerns as the touch screen issue was also present in TWRP, so I'm not sure what to think.

Suggestions?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
that's an interesting feature

yea that's what I thought and I know how difficult it is I did so with mine about 6 months ago and at the time I replaced it I didn't have anything to get the screen and the mainboard to stick together and decided to use a case which laid above the screen so I didn't risk anything

since you mentioned the white lines thing maybe it's because of your screen panel, the next best thing to make sure you know if the issue is hardware and not software is to revert to complete stock(backing up any important data first) and if problem persist it may be hardware if it doesn't than it could be something else

I don't know if my inquiry belongs here or not but let's see, so I was going to buy the G2 in a couple of days and had no doubts because of the display I just love it untill I made the mistake of googling "lag on G2" and started seeing people complaining about how their units started slowing down after weeks/months and in some cases lagging, so I want to know does it ultimately lag and if it does would rooting and using a ROM fix this lag and also how smooth is gaming, thanks.

Hi. I am new user of LG. I bought a Korean version of LG G2. Friend of mine flashed international version (as per his saying) of KK. Phone is rooted as well. Now phone's software/hardware specs are as follows: Android ver 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0 Build No. KOT40I.D80220b, software vers. Lightning v2.0. In hardware info section it is Model No. LG-F320L. It is now confusing for me either my phone is D802 or F320L.

I want to flash recovery in order to flash custom rom. Please guide me what my phone is now, D802 or F320L? Which phone version recovery is safe I should flash? Thanks for any help.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Hello your device is f320l and also I think you already have custom recovery because you seem to be running version 2.0 of this rom

Hello everyone!

I`ve got a D802 Android Version 4.2.2 Stock Rom. Yesterday I rooted (using IOroot25r1). Everything went fine, so I used "Flashify" to install philz_touch_6.41.6-d802.zip. Everything was ok, i could start custom recovery and did a backup of the stock recovery via "Flashify".

Then I tried to install ViPER4Android (V4A FX v2.3.3.0). Hence I couldn't hear any difference i opened the build.prop via Root Explorer in the Text editor (setting it to read/write) and changed the following lines as written in the instructions on the hp (http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=52)

a. Open up /system/build.prop in text editor using any file explorer with root access.

b. Change the line (If you can’t find these lines, skip this step.)

– “Ipa.decode=true” to “lpa.decode=false”

– “tunnel.decode=true” to “tunnel.decode=false”

– “lpa.use-stagefright=true” to “lpa.use-stagefright=false”

Everything went fine and i rebooted... now my phone doesn't start Android any more. It shows the LG Logo and the LED is changing colors, but it doesn't boot up and the phone is getting very very hot... turned it off after 5 minutes. However I'm able to enter the recovery.

Can you please give me some advice, what to do? I'm writting here, since i think it is a problem to actually start the phone, and not getting viper4android to work. My main gola is to get the phone back to work again, but I would prefer not to loose all data, root etc (going back to stock)

I'm not sure how to access the file system in order to copy zips onto the sdcard only when recovery works...

Is it possible to read/write buil.prop from my PC, because i have made a backup of build.prop on the phone?

Help appreciated, thank you!

Update: i can enter download mode, too. I did some research and found out, that i should be able to copy my backup build.prop via cmd shell and adb. This is only working if usb debugging is enabled. For some stupid reason i've disabled it before restarting, so i'm stuck again... adb is not recognizing my device.

Logically u r right but. I can't. find one. When I enter in recovery, a full page.of Korean appear. May be I am doing wrong. By the way how to enter in recovery. Mode?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
You can try using an app like quickboot from playstore and as long as you are already rooted you can boot into recovery, if you are getting a page of korean it should be the factory reset screen and if you press power button 3 times it should boot into recovery instead of doing a factory reset, i recommend using quickboot just to play it safe

If you can get into recovery can't you just restore your backup? You should get aroma file manager working with philz, using adb push you can push the files into your sdcard so that you can just replace the build.prop and add the needed permissions

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patty85:
Thank you for your answer! I can't get into aroma file manager. The aromafm.zip is not in the storage paths. Since i disabled USB debugging, the device doesn't show up in adb... workaround possible?

I don't think a factory reset will reset the build.prop?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Without adb there isn't much that could be done but if you have aromafm.zip you can choose to install it and what it does is that it boots into the file manager if I am not mistaken, I haven't used philz in a while now

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
You are welcome and just in case you ever need the info later, you mentioned a white screen with korean text that is the factory reset screen(like i said earlier) and as long as you have custom recovery pressing the power button three times in that screen will allow you to boot into your recovery just in case that is the way to enter recovery with the button combination, just information you should know

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patty85:
Ok ok i'm progressing. I was able to recognize my phone without usb debugging enabled, following this (http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/41531/backup-using-adb-without-root-or-usb-debugging). Basically selecting manually a adb driver in windows device manager. I was able to copy aromafm.zip via sideload and enter the filemanager. But I'm not able to fild the build.prop. Yes i activated "show hidden files". When I tried to pull build.prop off the phone, it says it does not exist?!

Please can you tell me in what exact location do you have your build.prop in AROMA file manager? Can you copy this file? If everything fails: where can i find a "default" build.prop file for a d802?

Guys please help me, I think with your help i can make it!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny 0311:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you are bound to the roms for your device, you can only flash roms with support for your f320l

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

yes that is correct

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

the build.prop should be in the system/ also here is stock d802 build.prop
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patty85:
THANK YOU!!!

Thank you very much! :good:

Unfortunately in the meanwhile I wiped my phone with recovery in order to delete all possibly harmful viper4android drivers.

I inserted your build.prop, but managed to copy some zips to the sdcard via adb.

Note for noobs here: in recovery: mount system...

Reboot did nothing, but in recovery i was able to flash a new rom and now it it finally working again.

Sorry for your effort with the build.prop, but I think the system was too damaged to rescue it (drivers).

Anyway phone now running and i have to reinstall apps again.

XxZombiePikachu you saved my day with your recommendations about adb pushing and AROMA file manager. :victory:

Hello guys, I am wondering if any of you know how to make the home keys smaller in size on the home screen?

I have just ordered the g2 and looking at the buttons, they look like they take up a load of screen room..so I would like to know how to either make the bar thinner or move it to another part of the screen, as I can see it getting in the way when the keyboard is on the screen :(

I dont own the phone yet, but I am doing all my research now
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
the best way is using root+xposed and the module you want to use is g2tweaksbox, I am currently using it and although it has a few premium features(definitely worth looking into purchase it's only a dollar) changing the size of the navbar is free and will also allow you to change other things

I was hoping I wouldn't have to root, as the phone will be brand new :(

well then that means no, you need root to for apps to be able to access the system partition on the phone and be able to modify something like the navbar

LG G2 fastboot problem

Hi Guys,

i ve just succesfully rooted my g2(stock 4.4) and tried to install twrp with autorec. My problem is, i accidently picked the wrong autorec and now i am stuck with fastboot. I tried to get into download mode but it just works for 1 sec and then switches back into fastboot.

Any suggestions how i could get my phone back up and working again?

Thanks in advance

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you need to flash the correct partitions to your device, so first make sure you download the correct autorec version to your computer and using 7zip or WinRAR open it as an archive navigate to the assets folder and you want the images from there

next make sure you setup adb and copy the imgs to your adb folder and make sure your device appears with the adb devices commad(if you don't have android sdk you can use the ioroot folder as your adb folder)

after you have this done we will proceed with flashing process

Hi every one.

My phone is LG D802 in Vietnam and I have a problem with the phone's GPS. I searched on internet and XDA, many people are experiencing the same problem. It takes really long time to get locked during navigation and constantly loosing satellite locks. Therefore, it is inpossible to navigate. I try various various proposed methods, but the problem still persist.

Can some one tell me what ROM does not have GPS issues so that I can flash ? i saw too many ROMs available and have no ideas which one has GPS working fine.

I asked for ROMs because I have tested many cases and it does not appear to be hardware issue. Many thanks

With your phone plugged in uninstal all drivers, unplug the phone and reboot your pc/laptop

Install them again without the phone plugged in

Reboot

Plug the phone in and let Windows search and install the drivers updates if available switching to all its functions, mtp, recovery, bootloader etc

This is a clean install

Also be sure that you have the latest sdk
