Sure thing man. Download Solid Explorer, the new one since the text editor can edit larger files. Open it up and click the three dashed lines in the top left corner. Then click the gear icon to open settings. Scroll to the bottom and make sure "show root storage" is checked. Click back, then root storage, then navigate to /system/etc. Scroll down and look for the file "init.qcom.post_boot.sh." Open it and scroll to the bottom. Paste this at the bottom:

alias bb=/system/xbin/busybox
until [[ $(bb pgrep com.android.systemui) ]]
do bb sleep 1
done
bb mount -o remount,rw /system
bb chmod -R 0755 /system/etc/init.d 2>/dev/null
bb mount -o remount,ro /system
bb run-parts /system/etc/init.d
:

Click the disk at the top right to save, and click back to exit the file. Now click the "orange plus" at the bottom right, then the orange folder, then enter the name init.d and click ok. Done. Add some scripts to /system/etc/init.d, and don't even worry about file/folder permissions. I took care of that in the code I had you paste earlier. :cool:
[G4 General] donbudafuko:
Ok thanks for that..I got that all done...how I add it script an for ur script do I need to have an unlocked bl?
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
I just finished speaking with LG Support in regards to the touch screen issue and was told that a fix is incoming. It had been delayed a few times, I expect to make sure it does fail, and should be hitting the markets within one to two weeks. Hopefully good news and hopefully it comes.
[G4 General] kingwaffle:
I'll believe it when I see it.
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
Lol, yea me too so here is hoping.
[G4 General] shbang:
No unlocked bootloader required. Just make a new text file with '#!/system/bin/sh" at the top and paste it in.

That's good to hear. I'm curious to see how they'll deploy it since some people don't have this issue.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Hm one to two weeks, I'll wait then before sending in my phone to be repaired. Good news though but it'll probably be a while before it hits carrier devices.
[G4 General] jesper10:
That's funny - it just shows it always depends who you speak to!

I spoke with an extremely helpful guy at LG (UK) yesterday and he said he knew nothing of the missed taps issue (I directed him to come look here!), but also that he knew nothing of any impending updates due (esp not 5.1.1)...hopefully your contact was more in-the-know!!

Despite this, he was very attentive and willing to chat about a few other issues I was having - I was impressed with the support tbh. Said he's call back today with an update, we'll see!
[G4 General] KingTing:
It happens from time to time and I am using clear glass protector.

My last phone z1 also had the same issue but far worse, it would lose control and today I actually experienced something similar on my G4 (well more like instead of drag, it treated the drag as a click)
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
And that's the worst part. My phone provider depending on who you speak to either know about the issue or don't know. I've been told to wait as replacements may have the issue and also told to send in repairs. Speaking to LG I am hoping the person knew what they were talking about, was a pretty direct answer unlike the others I had received. So hers hoping they weren't just feeding me and it comes through.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
You guys can shoot a video using the app MultiTouch Test.
[G4 General] shootind5nukes:
I spoke to LG and the guy I spoke to said it's mostly tmo and verizon G4s that are having the issues. Which may be why the UK guy didn't know, on the other hand I'm pretty sure the guy lied to me cause I think it's a hardware issue and I bet all G4s have the issue. I'm going to wait another month or so and warranty it and hopefully it'll be fixed in the new G4s they are making.

Has any one installed v10c on there, device, i dont Know if it its a placebo, but my device seem to be responding better.

I'm on my second G4 and its still giving me these annoying missed touches. Also having three brightness set itself pretty much where ever it wants...
[G4 General] Osrok:
Finland reporting an issue with sensitivity.

U.S and A is not the only country with problems. Finland here (northern europe, scandinavia).

Touch screen seems to be on par with Nokia N97 from the past 2009 summer. This is just outrageous. This phone is just useless like this.

Finnish LG customer service lied to me that theres no other reports and I should not believe everything on internet. Sounds right about regular scammer to me.

Scrolling the internet with the phone, it opens links middle of the swipe without my control what so ever.

I have to tap twice very ofter to open anything.

Google maps is just horrible to use with this crappy phone because of the screen.

Knock-feature opens screen at first try, or screen doesn´t register until fifth or more knocks. It doesn´t register light tabs at all most of the time.

All this **** is even worse when the phone rests on table, not in my hand. Or car holder. Or phone wallet.

With expensive screen protector this problem goes even worse.

On my galaxy s4 I have reinforced glass protection, and it DOES NOT AFFECT TO SCREEN SENSITIVITY AT ALL.

I dropped it in the maintenance service. Let´s see if LG denies problems in there too.

I will not tolerate this kind of screen sensitivity, I can literally touch the screen very lightly and LG G4 does not register it at all.

Any of these so called "fixes" will no remove the problem with low sensitivity. It´s in your head if you feel like it´s better, placebo effect.
[G4 General] zombiegavins:
H815 on 5.1.1 with a tempered glass screen protector and no issues here
[G4 General] Cobthaich:
Still no fix and multiple countries variants having issues, if I were LG I would be scared about a class action lawsuit by users. With this I am surprised that they ar denying this issue as it appears 60% of users have brought it to their attention as well as the media. Infuriating that such a large company leaves their customers in the dark they way they are.

I thought LG was a reliable company. Im scared of buying anything with LG sticker on it now on if this is the quality.

[G4 General] dainteg:
Had a Verizon brand glass protector and it was horrible with missed touches. Switched to one from ebay and the problem is gone.
[G4 General] Snakecharmed:
I've noticed it seems to have something to do with touch pressure or sensitivity. Since I took note of the issue, I've noticed that firm presses seem to always register, but lighter ones may miss at about a 5% rate.
[G4 General] nsmal24:
So I was thinking about exchanging my g4 (vzw) due to these issues, but I figured I would try a factory reset first. I restored all the apps that I had on there before, but I removed ones that aren't usable yet b/c of no root (busybox, titanium backup, etc.). Oddly enough, I have to say that my phone now passes the quickmemo test. I can't make it miss a touch (hundreds of touches later). HOWEVER, the phone is still less than responsive to DTTW and still misses a touch here or there (navigating the launcher and such). I think these are related to performance issues. Please don't go wipe your phone and blame me that it doesn't seem any better. I'm just reporting that it did seem to make a difference for me. The only other change that I didn't restore from before the wipe was setting the dpi to 570 or 580 (something like that). DPI is stock for now.
[G4 General] player911:
I use 560 DPI.

The lollipop LG keyboard was buggy on my LG G2. It would constantly force close and mess up my inputs. My G4 is much better after a factory reset and disabling bunch of stuff. The missed touches are hardly noticeable.
[G4 General] megamanfre:
I cant even try the QuickMemo test to prove its unresponsive, as the second I lift my finger, I get a popup that says Unfortunately QuickMemo+ has stopped" which is really obnoxious, if I actually used the stock memo app instead of Keep.

Edit: Also opened a claim with LG, and wish I could actually reference the claim mentioned earlier.

Anyone actually gone to their cell store to get an exchange and have their new phone working like normal, or is the replacement having the same issue? Im hoping its more of a software issue as it seems its mostly T-Mobile and Verizon customers having the problem, or at least the most vocal about it. I spoke to my VZW rep at the store I got mine for and he claimed that LG is aware of it and theyre releasing a software update to correct the issue at the end of June, but who knows if thats true, or if hes just blowing me off till after the 14 day warranty period is over.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Just had a conversation regarding the unresponsive touchscreen issue with LG. Apparently they know nothing of this. Or, at least Vincent hasnt heard of it.

[G4 General] liamR:
I suggest that you add a link to this thread when contacting LG. Soon I'll send emails to some major Tech websites.
[G4 General] megamanfre:
That's why I made sure to have a live conversion and referenced not only the case# previously mentioned but this thread with the pole in it. Was gonna link all the other threads this has been brought up in but I figured this one was best as it has a real number to the reported cases right up front, in a manner of speaking.
[G4 General] Sammae7:
AT&T LG G4 here using the Spigen Crystal Clear HD screen protector.

No missing or unresponsive touches. If anything, it's a little sensitive to touch. When scrolling in Facebook it'll sometimes click on a story/post when I want to just scroll.
[G4 General] asdecker:
I miss double tap to wake on occasion. VZW
[G4 General] PunishedSnake:
No
[G4 General] droidrev71:
I had a g4 that had touch and response issues. I sent it back to Verizon. Today I decided to give it another chance and went and bought one at my local store. This new one feels like a totally different phone. With the factory plastic on I knew right away I had a good one.! I'm thrilled and so glad I gave it another chance. I have a glass protector that I will apply. I'm sure I'll be fine with the outcome. If not, I'll report back. I suggest, if you have one that seems like it has issues, to exchange it.
[G4 General] smw6180:
So on a whim I installed Nova Prime, which I haven't used in years (coming from HTC, I'm one of those weird people that actually LIKES Sense, so I hadn't been using it). The second I switched to Nova ALL my tap misses, and unresponsive issues vanished. It's like a completely different phone. It's even a whole lot faster than it was.

So based on my observation (YMMV obviously), the issue at least for me was the stock launcher. All my touch lagginess is gone now.
[G4 General] megamanfre:
Nova was one of the first apps I installed. Still missing taps. Occasionally even when I swype to type it'll stop my swype pattern and leave me with half a word.

Gonna go back to verizon later this weekend and see if I can exchange it side in still within the 14 day return period.
[G4 General] smw6180:
Like I said YMMV, but it did the trick for me. :)
[G4 General] Romaap:
When I use the phone outside in the sun (it's around 25 degrees celsius over here) the phone will get very hot at the top of the screen. The top part will then miss some touches. The bottom part, which is still at a normal temperature will react just fine. I have the H815 european version.
[G4 General] Zachhockey2:
That service code isn't working on my 810. I have the occasional missed tap while actively using my phone as well as frequent missed taps when trying to use knock code. While writing this message, I had two missed taps.
[G4 General] fishman0919:
I found that the LG launcher and LG Weather widget slows the phone greatly on wake and or updating (Cards).... making the phone lag and unresponsive.

I've been using the Google Now Launcher (I like because I'm coming for a Nexus 5) and Beautiful Widget and the phone is much more responsive and no noticeable lag.
[G4 General] player911:
It definitely seems like a resource problem other then a touch problem (which is good).

The Launcher could be the culprit because I mentioned previously that the first few hours of the box (before a wipe) the phone was extremely hot, constantly adjusting the brightness (due to temp), and the taps were noticeably missing.

After a factory reset and setting up Nova (first thing), all seemed to be right in the world. The phone is cool, never warm, screen stays on 100% brightness, and screen taps seem really accurate outside the occasional miss, but hard to tell if it is me or the phone.
[G4 General] moobieboobie:
I was a little skeptical about buying LG products at first because I haven't had the best experience with them. I ended up getting two G4 on ATT, both of which are stock and still have touch issues with latest update. I've even taken the time to factory reset, but still have touch issues. If there isn't a real fix soon, I'll have to ditch LG for good.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
I noticed yesterday when my fingers were really dry that certain spots on the screen wouldn't function. Skin is back to normal and so is the screen. The capacitance level must be right at the edge on this phone. I have an HP tablet that has a ground loop issue. If you aren't touching the frame, the touch screen won't work.
[G4 General] bertmansk:
Unlocked Euro g4.

Was having touchscreen issues since day 1 (i've had it for about 3 weeks now). Was very upset because I paid full price and here in Italy you can't return anything to The stores.

It was registering some swipes as touches and a lot of times not registering touches at all.

Last night an OTA update was pushed to my phone. It was called v10c july 22... It seems to have fixed my touch issues. Very happy with this phone now, and I'm coming from a note 3. I just miss my pen ?
[G4 General] darkstreets:
I had the update my self yesterday too. It has definitely improved the touchscreen issues. My phone seems more responsive and does not miss any touches now.
[G4 General] Osrok:
Confimation

Could more people confirm this update to fix this screen issue?

Thank you.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
I used to have when I'm scrolling, it registers as a tap, but now it's seems fix, but I've never had unresponsive touch screen before, just the scrolling which registered as a tap.
[G4 General] Osrok:
Changelog

And what´s the full changelog for this update, does it mention screen updates?
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
No screen update mentioned, but sometimes it's to pretend that there wasn't any problems of screen touch.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
So is this officially being pushed to all G4 variants or any official word at all on the update? I'm starting to get really annoyed by how often this thing confuses a swipe for a touch.
[G4 General] porc1:
Mine is AT&T, and I see no sign of an update. It says it is at 10g (what's the update called?), same one that initially started the problem on mine once it was pushed out.

I did notice something interesting.... 3 times lately I've gotten the battery low enough for the battery saver thing to come on at 15%. The screen suddenly starts working perfectly. It reverts back to not working once I charge it overnight. Walking around with a dead battery is not a realistic fix though.

Also, people keep mentioning the Multitouch Test app. For me, it always registers every touch or multi-touch perfectly. It seems to have no problem knowing it was touched... it just can't figure out for whatever reason that a touch is finished (and thus is a tap) or is a swipe in progress. It really looks like it would have to be a software issue to get such a symptom.

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

And, I just tried that show touches thing.... it confirms it is seeing the touches perfectly, yet still thinks a swipe is a tap. When a swipe is a tap, I still have one straight unbroken line across the screen made with my finger. It is completely nonsensical that an OS would be designed so that a clear series of dots drawn across the screen without any break in between should be interpreted as a tap at just one of those dots. It should not be difficult to get right. I had to program something similar in the early 90's where I was trying to make a "Mac-like" UI on an old OS that didn't have any such capabilities at the time... my app included ability to select icons by clicking and releasing the mouse in one spot, versus releasing the mouse at another location from where the click started (so that I could drag icons). It was pretty easy.
[G4 General] Unseeablething:
Huh... I had the issue and it kind of vanished over the weekend. Not sure if I got an update and spaced it in my sleepiness. Running 81110H on T-Mobile.
[G4 General] xchasa:
I had the touch issue, but after removing the factory screen protector and fitting a Zagg tempered, problem seems to have gone for me at least.
[G4 General] pakitos:
Mexico - Telcel LG G4 H815P with black leather cover has it too.

I'm not sure if I want to wait or return it. I have had it for a mere 24 hours :confused:
[G4 General] bicki1:
A little update.

1st time, i have returned phone to the store, and they send it to polish LG service. They send it back with 3 service documents. In 1st document, they said, that there is some software issue, and they correct it, by loading new software ( V10B ). Funny thing is that I have allready V10B on my phone... On a second document, they said, that they have phone tested ,but there is no issue, so they are giving phone back. On the third document, they said that there was no ussue, but, as they want me to feel better, they upgrade the software to the newest. When I receive phone back - of course issue was still there, so i again send it back immediatelly with extra note, that issue is still there, and even salesman at the store confirm this.

They send it back again, yesterday. Of course, they wrote, that tere is no issue at all. They did not even upgrade software... I ask the salesman to open the package, and test the phone again. Issue was still. I ask him to prepare special note to the consumer support about that incident. Also i wrote on the LG poland fanpage whole story asking for support ( i do not believe that they will do something, but i need to try ). I like LG. I like the last three phones from LG ( G2 G3, G4 ) But the polish LG service sucks... Nobody calls me when phone was tested. Nobody even try to test it. Probably somebody just take it by hand, and try to use multitouch... nobody cares, that issue is when laying on the box, or carholder...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvlvUCn9ong

I like LG, but i am sick about when thinking of another contact with LG service... Never happen with Samsung service, or HTC service, even Oppo service...

Sorry, i have to tell it to somebody.. I am month without brand new phone, with issue that everybody can see, besides LG service.
[G4 General] bart452:
I took a dmesg to debug this issue, it seems like the touchscreens powersavingmode is causing the trouble:

This happends when I pull out the usb cable and testing multitouch, is switches to sleepmode and the touchscreen goes crazy.

[G4 General] Osrok:
You will not get better service, I sent mine to optima service and they did not find anything wrong with it. The LG G4 screen is not sensitive enough for some users, simple as that.

It´s a piece of **** for a screen if you ask me. But, it is what it is.

LG thanks loads of peeps for not noticing anything wrong with their not sensitive screens because like this it looks like it´s user related problem, not LG.

My personal opinion is that if I can touch the screen no matter how light my touch is and there is no respond, the screen is piece of ****.

Samsung Galaxy S2, from blast from the past, 4 years ago has far better sensitivity and control over everything.

Thanks you.
[G4 General] AegisValour:
Much appreciated for the follow up.

When I ask other people about their experience about the G4 and warranty this seems to be the case. The issue isn't always apparent as well and it seems that they don't test the device that long to diagnose if it is experiencing the issue. They're most likely using the drawing test on the service menu which mine also seemed to 'pass'.

I guess we can't count on LG warranty to fix this issue, and hope for a software update or someone on XDA.
[G4 General] malnash52@gmail.com:
When custom roms and kernals come out the issue should be gone
