I'm going to wait until the end of September and if this is not addressed properly, I'll take a good look at the Note 5 and see how it worked out for early adopters there.

That said, using a few tweaks and a thin screen protector has helped me a good bit, but still not as good as any Samsung phone I have owned the past 2 or 3 years. The missing swipes and taps just make the phone feel cheap and budget.
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
Good find on the touchscreen power saving issue. How hard would it be to fix that?
[G4 General] pakitos:
I went this morning to my service provider (Telcel in Mexico) to apply for warranty. They took the phone at 10am and told me to come back at 5pm which I did. The engineer didnt find anything wrong so I did the service menu so he could see what I was really talking about. 10 minutes later they told me that they were chaning my phone for a new one and as soon as I received it I tested it again. Same problem but with less dead spots.

I told them that it was faulty and they told me that they could keep giving me a new one but that that was not the case and I should contact LG. I told them that I didnt want the phone anymore and that if it was possible to change for a Note 4 and of course paying the difference which they sent me to the store manager. He told me that the best he could do was to send the phone to LG and see what they had to say about it, that would take around 11 days. This is like the best option since my provider will have to fill a lab document asking LG for an answer about this problem but I need to call LG first and see what they have to say before the provider put their hands into it.

For the record. I have never liked LG as a brand. I always *****ed how bad their quality and design were and to my surprise, even after wanting to give them a try, they assured me that I wasnt wrong in the first place.
[G4 General] Orsocamillo:
It looks like the last update fixes the problem, did you try to update manually to the last firmware without waiting for the OTA one?

I have personally experienced the touch issue (missed touch and knock, i had to tap 3-4 times to have a response), i was on 10b but i succeed since the beginning to fix o reduce the issue by recalibrating all the sensors and by turning off and on again the knock mode. Well, i tried so many things that i'm not so sure it was just that,

however this makes me be sure it's a software issue rather than hardware one.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
It remembers me when htc was denying the camera purple tint on the m7, later they reckoned it's a hardware problem and only replacement of camera can fix it. I just hope the g4 screen problem is not hardware
[G4 General] slowsuki1:
just got sprint lg g4 few days ago , had touch screen problems so i installed app, sgs screen booster, setting super optimized, fixed 90% of my problems.
[G4 General] suhridkhan:
Getting sick of LG and it's touchscreen issues. It's been so long and still there is no fix. I admit the camera is good, but the stock gallery app is worthless. And due to this touchscreen issue, can't even play any action games on it.

This is my first LG device, I am pretty sure this is the last too. :(
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
There are some confusions here, some people are saying latest update fixed it but other are still complaining, did you all got the latest update or you are waiting? For people like me who are tempted by this phone we are somehow lost
[G4 General] G4rcU:
Still no update for me here in the Netherlands.

And to be honest I am having a hard time deciding whether return it / sell it or not.

Screen responsiveness is one thing, but mine is also lagging.

Sometimes the lag is just unbearable. And when it happens, I'd say that the user experience degrades to the point where I can say it is comparable with my retired SE Xperia Arc.

I even did a quick AnTuTu benchmark to compare the LG g4 with my previous phone: SGS4 LTE-A

and guess what?

Performance wise both phones are almost on par.

Sgs4 scored

44191 (on a stock 4.3)

Lg g4 got

48952 in 64bit mode

45586 in 32bit mode

And the difference sits in runtime and ram.

Multitasking, single thread operations and graphics scored better on sgs4.

I feel like I took step back.

Camera and screen are great, but processing power is so 2013...

Seeing how happy people were about the G3, I wanted to give LG a go with the G4.

Now I'm left with this bitter feeling of having an "unfinished" product.

But the most saddening is LG doing little to nothing to remedy it. It is said that an update has been released in June and now in August a second one - both supposedly targeting the touch issues. I have, however, not had any of them...

Time for a factory reset, it should fix your lag or else you have a faulty ram
[G4 General] laurasaurisrex:
I got some great results by freezing the LG Keyboard and the Keyboard Black Theme apps with Titanium yesterday. Double tap to wake is MILES better, typing doesn't feel like typing through mud, and the "button press" animations and vibrations are much more responsive. We did hear about LG updating the keyboard to address those issues, but I did not want to OTA so I didn't loose my version "0" bootloader... Anyone with these issues still, try disabling the LG Keyboard and restart. Hope it helps.
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
That doesn't resolve the miss touches just the keyboard. I still have the miss touches. No change really. I do agree this helps with the keyboard but not the miss touches.
[G4 General] porc1:
Earlier, I reported that I noticed my screen started working perfectly once it went into Battery Saver mode. Now, I'm on AT&T, so I'm not entirely sure if this Battery Saver app is the same one that everyone has. Anyway, I did some experiments. I changed the app's settings so that it turns on "Immediately", instead of only at 15% battery. I can then turn the feature on and off quickly using those Quick buttons at the top. I then turned on battery saver; it worked. I turned off battery saver; screen mistakes swipes for taps. Repeated many times. Then, I noticed it started to "remember" the fix from battery saver mode even when battery saver was off. If I saw the problem again, I simply turned battery saver on, then off again, and it was fixed. For the past two days, it hasn't missed a single swipe. No, I have not gotten an update since July when the last update happened (and triggered this issue).

A few posts back, there was something about power saver and the screen. Perhaps this is related. I don't know exactly what Battery Saver really does other than make the screen dimmer.

Anyone with the problem may want to give this a try. Just force Battery Saver to come on, and see if the screen is good. I suspect we actually have more than one type of problem though with the screen. So, it may not help everyone. My problem is mistaking swipes for taps even though it otherwise registered a continuous drag of my finger. Other people report missing taps entirely, but I don't see that; it gets them all.
[G4 General] Weetbix:
I went into the settings, and changed it so that battery saver mode would turn on immediately (instead of the 15% I have it at) .... I then used the quick button to enable the mode before turning the screen off by double tapping the status bar. With battery saving mode enabled I got a 100% success rate for that "hold a finger on the screen and swipe down to see the time" option (I forgot what it's called). With battery saving mode disabled it usually takes me 4 or 5 attempts before I give up and just double tap to wake the screen up.

I'm currently giving that old SGS screen booster app a try that a bunch of people have reported as useful, so far it does seem to have helped me a bit - but I'm still trying to figure out if it's just a placebo effect or not. Later today I might take a few minutes and turn that off and try this.

It's just a shame that the status bar turns the ugly orange when battery saving mode is enabled...
[G4 General] Snakecharmed:
I think this points to a power saving/governor/kernel issue as one of the causes, but everybody's issues are a little bit different, and in some cases, polar opposites of each other. I've noticed that I don't seem to get missed taps when the phone is charging.

I was browsing through the Xposed library over the weekend and I noticed there was a module that can change the status bar color with battery saver enabled. Xposed v71 ARM64 is now compatible with the H811 and H815 with TWRP.
[G4 General] novastar1:
Damn... Wasn't expecting so many to be affected. I have no issues and I have an 815 with an ozrly tempered glass screen protector on. Hopefully it's software as I know two others with the euro 815 and they don't have problems either
[G4 General] xchasa:
New V10F for Australian unbranded has fixed my touchscreen it seems.

Very impressed.
[G4 General] delacrum:
which version were you on prior to the upgrade? 10b or 10c?
[G4 General] G4rcU:
An update just popped out for my G4 (H815).

V10c dated 22-jul o_O

Wonder why it took so long.

Fingers crossed it'll improve my screen responsiveness

[G4 General] xchasa:
V10b.

Touch is flawless now.
[G4 General] bigmatt503:
I tried that battery saver color xposed modules, And it works!! No more hideous orange color
[G4 General] laurasaurisrex:
Battery saver method confirmed working for me. When I disabled the LG Keyboard, it was a fantastic improvement, but not perfect. The tap lag was gone, but another poster said to test tapping the home button and an app quickly back and forth to look for missed taps... I still had those. Turning on battery saver immediately eliminated that.

Tested taps while holding, case, no case, flat on a table, charging, or not charing and did not yield any difference at all. My G4 is from Verizon, bought at the end of June.
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
I just tested the battery saver technique and so far it appears it has solved my issues as well. Coming from a cdn Rogers variant h812 non rooted. Does anyone know what functions the battery saver disables or turns off, maybe we can figure out what function is causing this issue. Weird my colleague has an h812 from different carrier and appears unaffected, possibly carrier related?

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

Sorry disregard, right after responding to the previous post I started having missed taps again, so unfortunately did not work on my phone.
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
Note 5 coming soon. Lg can suck it. Regret leaving Samsung. One touchscreen issue and they can't fix it asap? No thx
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Agreed, it is surprising/disappointing that this has not been fixed. Or even just acknowledged, as a start.

I tried Battery Saver Mode on my Verizon G4, I did not notice an improvement.
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
same with AT&T, sure things were faster but it miss clicks still
[G4 General] Azure1203:
Perhaps the reason there is no fix is because they can't pinpoint the issue? XDA users are all over the place in regards to what fixes and what doesn't. LG is probably have the same issue.

Which worries me even more.
[G4 General] vegetaleb:
No fix?

From what people are reporting, 10f update fixed it already, note 5 in another hand could have other issues
[G4 General] elcom:
Can confirm that 10f completely fixed touchscreen issues for me.
[G4 General] xchasa:
Me too.

Phone running pretty much perfectly now.
[G4 General] Daemos:
Got my LG G4 H815 Taiwan, unfortunately, no unlockable bootloader (but buying from handtec was approx $200 more than buying the Taiwanese or HK H815s) but I'm running Marcosuper7's 10D rom, zero touch issues, actually I didn't play much with it before I loaded the new rom...it's very fast and responsive, IMO better than my Oneplus One running AK kernel + Temask's CM12.1...

Just tested holding in my hand and on table, 8 points multi touch ZERO issues, I'll try to get more on...but I have larger hands and fat fingers :D
[G4 General] kaiowas82:
don't know if placebo, but my touchscreen is perfect now on ms7 10d rom.... i had only the swipe/tap issue though...
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
So does that apply for the T-Mobile model? I'm on 10h currently and am super annoyed at all the scrolls mistaken as taps. I have updates blocked currently but would turn that off if I could get a fix for the scroll/tap issue FASHO.
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Anyway you can post your build.prop so we can compare to see if they added anything?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

It will take longer for the carriers to push the update but for you there will probably be rooms available shortly
[G4 General] xchasa:
Be happy to if I knew how?
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Download a file explorer and go to /system/ and you will see it there. Just grab it and post
[G4 General] xchasa:
Won't let me upload.

Hopefully someone else can help
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Can you paste the contents? Just use the "hide" tool so people don't have to scroll unless they want to. It's all just text
[G4 General] xchasa:
Only lets me select 3/4 of file but I'm happy to send that
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
hmm odd even if you open on your PC in notepad? Thanks

btw you will probably have to make a copy
[G4 General] delacrum:
you can enter you IMEI in this link imeidata.net/warranty/lg , and when you click check it should show you a link to SW Version which should have a download link to H81510F_0
[G4 General] Daemos:
Anyone with 10f, can they post their IMEI (or pm it to me) that way someone can download the firmware and upload it to our firmware depository :D

Or go to http://imeidata.net/warranty/lg?imei=359872060790317 dump your IMEI you should be able to download 10f from there...and then you can share the link, or upload a copy to say google drive, dropbox, etc...

Thanks :D
[G4 General] bicki1:
My case is finally to the end, but not because of any help from LG polska.

I receive answer from the salesman ( big RTV AGD store in Poland ) that after hearing the documentation, agre to change device for new one, or money back.

Big thanks to the store, because all the blame rests on LG Service at Mława, Poland who could not (would not) fix the fault or even the state.

Also sad that official fanpage of LG, after receive of all documentation and description of the case - said to me NOTHING :(

Hopefully i will get new G4 at saturda, but now i will make a test at the store, to be sure, that there is no issue at all.
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
My touchscreen issues are 100% fixed. Note 5. 10x the phone. No lag, faster, and scrolling and typing is perfect. Adios pos g4
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Hella sick, bruh.
[G4 General] bicki1:
Last update I hope - finish and conclusion:

I receive brand new phone G4 from the store. With V10A on a board. When I run it at the store - there was again same issue with multitouch.

I took it home, and manualy flash V10D Poland open. New firmware did the job. Screen is working like it should from the begining.

I am confused. I am happy that phone works. But it is only my merit, because I upload a new firmware :( That is not how it should be :(

LG service has a strong F from me and a red card. I hope i will never ever have to send something to the LG.

Funny thing.

My best friend, just bought brand new LG G4 from another source yesterday.

Same issue.

V10D of course did the job.

But disgust remained.

LG Polish office - still said nothing to me regarding this situation.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Is something like that available for people on U.S. carriers? I still haven't even made time to ***** to LG about this yet.
[G4 General] mingkee:
It happens on mine though it's acceptable.
[G4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
And about 2X the price. Glad you like it and it is a nice phone (played with it the other day) but that is a pretty penny to drop considering our phones sell for around 430. My next phone will be as close to stock as possible. Done with carrier skins and the issues that take a long wait to get fixed.
[G4 General] gsxcorey:
I am on the tmobile jump on demand so i get three upgrades a year. I just pay 20-30 a mo to rent them. I'm fine with it as everyone pays 200-300 a year for a phone and by the time you "own" it it's worth like 100 bucks. So no matter what we all lose about the same a year on a phone. I would rather have the upgrade chances though. the note 5 is awesome as ever. Sucks no sdcard, but it writes/reads super fast and with cloud backup I'm okay with the 64gb.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Not true. I save a ton of money buying my phone outright off contract and using a prepaid phone service. I've had no problem reselling three year old phones for roughly $200 many times as well.
[G4 General] phillipxenxciel:
Waited long enough for lg to resolve this issues, im getting the galaxy s6 edge plus, the pro mode in those also have manual focus and other neat stuffs that made me buy the g4, I've always knew lg had quality control issues since way back, I should've stayed calm and not take the risk, never getting a lg phone again :(.
[G4 General] Gentox:
This is the worst phone I ever had and I will never buy a LG again.

The touchscreen issues are just ridiculous and the price of the phone drops like a brick I will be lucky if I get a 100 bucks for it when I sell it after the 2 year contract. I have never had this with Samsung phone's they work great once debloated and I always sell them after 2 years for at least 200 bucks.
[G4 General] Daemos:
Lol...there have been plenty of issues with Samsung phones self bricking due to memory bugs that plagued their phones (I have been a Samsung user since the original galaxy S) they NEVER hold value besides, I tend to buy unlocked, and when I bought the G4 it was half the price of an s6 32GB which is a much better value. I probably would have bought a Oneplus 2 if it had NFC as I had good experience with my oneplus one...although plenty of people had massive touch screen issues with those.

However, buying the Lg G4 outright cost LESS than buying a oneplus two. And I have not had any real issues with touch.
[G4 General] Gentox:
I'm not saying Samsung phone's don't have issues I just haven't had any with mine.

My phones always hold a lot of value because I keep them in pristine condition, what is different with the G4 is that the price dropped over 200 bucks in just 3 months which is a lot imho.

I might just sell it now and go for the one plus 2 it's available for 430 bucks (the G4 was 650 when I got it).
[G4 General] Daemos:
Depends what you define as "a lot of value" If you want a phone for resell value, get an iphone. They are unbeatable for resell value. Can sell for more than HTC/Samsung/LG phones new!

And I remember with my note 2 in 2 months it dropped over $300 in value new price.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
LG is over, the price dropped too much in 1 month !, it's cool for people who wait, but I think this is why the G4 does not sell much because people know the price will be cheaper very fast, but during waiting there are news devices which were presented. I just lost 200 bucks in 1 month. HTC the prices is still high for instance, so it's not only because of Android.
[G4 General] Daemos:
Depends where you shop...and where you live.

Where I live, samsung, HTC, LG typically all the phones except for Iphone, they will come out initially at a high price (some almost as high as iphones) then after 2-3 months they will drop in price quite a lot. Just looking at one place (which ish't necessarily the cheapest) HTC one M9 is cheaper than LG G4. which again is cheaper than the S6...

If we want to compare with their MSRP/RRP/initial release price to current new price.

S6 32GB lost approx 30% value, HTC One M9 32GB has lost approx 40% value, and LG G4 has lost approx 30% value.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
Ok, I'm from Paris, France, I really think I will try IPhone 7, because it will increased all the things I want, like a good front camera, it has now Swiftkey, Jetaudio music player, good mic in concert, 4K, all the stuffs I need in an IPhone now have or will have it, and a new compact design !

That's actually expensive to buy an Android devices because you can't sell it at a good price after having used it, otherwise you have to wait 2 months but I bought the G4 for the summer so that's why I didn't wait.

But I love manual mode in the G4, I will keep it until there is a better phone with a manual mode too.
[G4 General] Daemos:
If you are concerned with photos, I'd get an DSLR...if you want photos and video, whatever full frame sensor DSLR + fast lenses/primes would be optimal, and if you want a more compact body you are now looking at mirror less...which might lead you only to the sony a7r ii. Even if phones had 50mpix, they still wouldn't even come close to the image quality of a full frame DSLR with 12mpix sensor with a nice prime lens from 5 years ago.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
Yes but just need something which is always with me, so a smartphone =)
[G4 General] nehad.isl:
Mine had severe touchscreen issues.. I tried removing tempered glass protector and sgs booster .. Nothing worked..finally lg did the 10f update (2 days now) and phone is as smooth as a galaxy s5
[G4 General] frope01:
After my second phone and 5 or six factory resets it seems to be working as it should. The last reset being a little over three weeks ago. It usually would have been almost impossible to use by now due to freezing, missing taps and swipes. I got another update today. So far so good.

G4 G4 G4 G4
[G4 General] juju2011:
My 10f update fixed my touch issues but back to crap battery life without root
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
Me it's the reverse, since the last recent update, I have Multitouch problem... OMG, , that's really sucks...V10D

Edit : actually I can see a multitouch problem with Multitouch Test or Antutu screen test, no big problem with the V10C, but in use it seems ok, not very problematic. And I think battery life get worst now, the last update is not really good.

Envoyé de mon LG-H815 avec XDA Forums
[G4 General] M7mdA7md7sein:
Glad to hear that!! :)

With still using Tempered Glass or you removed it already ? If working fine with applying the tempered glass .. what type/thickness of it ?

Thank you :D
[G4 General] elcom:
I have always used (and still use) a 0.3 mm tempered glass screen protector.
[G4 General] xchasa:
Same here. .3 tempered screen no issues.
[G4 General] bigmatt503:
I gave up on the g4 and purchased the nexus 6 for $349. The touch screen issues were way to much. Verizon models seem to be the worst and now that I'm back to a normal touch screen I realize how bad the issue was on the g4
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
I almost gave up too, but the latest update to 10f in Canada did the trick for me...3 days now and no missed taps, not one. It's almost like a brand-new phone to me now.

Next step for me is to move back to a tempered glass protector and see how it goes; I took mine off as it made the touch issues worse for me.
[G4 General] ryanpm40:
Does anyone know if this 10f update is newer than Verizon's 11a update? Because that didn't resolve my issues.
[G4 General] thatITguy:
I ended up sending my G4 (VS986) in to LG for repair last week. I just got it back today. Even though I told them about the missed touches/screen glitches/wifi issues, they have the symptom labeled "Auto power off". The repair is labeled "Replaced board chip set". I'll be testing it heavily for the rest of today and tomorrow to see if it actually fixed the issue.
[G4 General] laurasaurisrex:
10f is actually newer than Verizon's 11a, which is stupid. None of the US carriers seem to have provided whatever the 10f update was yet.
[G4 General] shag_on_e:
What kind of Wi-Fi issues are you having? I have the VS986 also, just curious. I am also having the touch response issue, as many others on another thread, but all touch ish issues disappear when plugged into a wall charger (untested on car charger). My mom's vzw G3 also recently acquired the issue when she updated to lollipop so this is more evidence supporting software bug.
