[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AudioComa:
So I have this weird problem on my G4.

Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.

Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.

I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.

It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.

Anyone else had this sort of problem. Is it a hack?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsolutions:
I had exactly the same problem with a completly new G4. Somehow I had the feeling it depends on temperature a little as when I was on balcony where it was colder it was more bad then inside the flat. It was pretty bad and appeared most of the times so it was reproducible. After fiddling around some days I exchanged it under warranty. The one what I received now doesn't have this problem anymore
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renaf2:
i have the same problem with my LG G4 H815 with Stock Rom modified or not , with Genesys Rom , with Imperium Rom and with CM Based Rom and another Custom Rom

For me this mysterious ghost taps and touchs arrived rarely and randomly with V20D ; i have remove some touch screen speed, presure and reaction tweaks in build.prop and resolv partially this problem for me in Imperium or in Genesys Rom and in my stock tweaked too ^^

sorry for my bad english
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AudioComa:
Mmmm. So no word whether it is hardware or software based?

I thought it might be limited to when I was connected to internet as it only seemed to do it on WiFi or Data. But it has now done it with no connection.

It might be temp based, but it's pretty hot where I am, and humid. I haven't had it long enough to test it in colder environments.

Hopefully it sorts it self out as I bought it from Topbuy.com and they are pretty bad for warranty claims.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simhanada:
I'm getting phantom touches to the point my G4 is unusable now. However as soon as I put my phone on airport mode I get zero phantom touches.. Seems to me that would indicate its a software bug rather than hardware?

Weird. Mine just stopped doing it and haven't had the problem in ages now. Fingers crossed

What is the first 3 digits of the serial# ?

this is a screen problem ie hardware from what i understand. Happened with early batches then went quiet.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmosBanks:
My phone started doing this while at home, but only when it's plugged in and charging. It may have something to do with the quality of the charger. I keep my OEM charger in the car and I have no problems when I use my phone in the car while charging. My chargers at home all came from eBay and the ghost taps start when I am charging at home and trying to use the phone. I get the problem whether Wi-Fi is on or off using the eBay chargers. I don't use Wi-Fi in the car, but I use Mobile Hotspot a lot without any ghost taps. Hope this helps!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbueno23:
The same problem!

I have the same problem. My G4 is the h815 20A, serial number starts with 505. The ghosts taps started 1 month ago and impair the use of the mobile device. Amazingly, the touches almost disappear when the phone is on the charger. Anyone have any solution for this? What would be the problem?

I think that's no a hack problem. It can be a software or a hardware problem, but i don't know.

Can anyone help me?

Sounds like water damage or from humidity. I had an iPod do this and fixed it by cleaning the connectors for the touchscreen. What have you to lose in trying? Don't break or void warranty though.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinshaila:
This is a software problem. Many of G4 owners had this ghost touches when the phone was released. An update fixed it later, but now I can confirm LG messed up again as I'm having the same issue with the latest version of the software.

Hi guys,

I have the same problem.

I noticed that it appear a mostly on 2G connection or on LTE when it fall back to 2G or very low signal.

Locking on 3G seem to solve. There's no way to lockLTE.

Tried several roms, with no luck. Do you have any other clues? It's Hardware or Software. Any new kernel or modem can solve it?

here's a video for this. LINK VIDEO

Thank you for your help.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbueno23:
This is not a software problem. This is a hardware digitalizer problem. It's necessary to change the all the touch screen system (digitalizer problem).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ojeysky:
I have same problem with H818N, the problem seem to disappear if airplane mode is turned on, it also seem stable when on 3g only, which implies it has something to do with mobile signal. I have tried several things without luck and the thing is I can't easily reproduce it. At times It happens when there is an incoming call or SMS. Any suggestion will be helpful
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadDogDean:
Having the same problem on an H815 running (yet to be updated) CM14. If the screen has fingerprints or streaks it ghosts like crazy. If I can turn the phone off (before anything disastrous happens) and just give the screen a quick wipe (t-shirt, napkin, whatever), problem fixed! I would say it is definitely related to the hardware of the screen digitizer and random conduction of the greasy finger prints, cheek plants, etc. Cheers
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htr5:
Same problem. G4 H815 602 v20d stock. The problem started when I left the phone in the sun too long while hiking. For me, it only happens when the screen is off so I disabled 'knock on'.

Airplane mode does not help.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lizzopeum:
Hi, I found this thread that seems to be about exactly the problem I'm having with my LGG4. I'm one of those that seem to ecounter the problem when I try to use the phone without 4G/wifi connection.

I was wondering if the people that had the problem in the past ever managed to solve it or if anyone can suggest me what to do. Also because it always happens when I need it the most and it is starting to annoy me... :)

Thanks

- Google Apps are the proprietary Google-branded applications that come pre-installed with most Android devices, such as the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc.

- Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with Custom Rom's and must be installed separately.

- The Google Apps are not required to boot or run Custom Rom's, however many users find them beneficial to take full advantage of the Android ecosystem.

- Custom Rom without Google Apps run much faster and smoother but because many users can't manage to install applications and sync their google contacts >>> So they compelled(forced) to install GApps to their Custom ROM's and accept the suffering that will be caused by it. :(

- Recently totally no need to install GApps to install applications and sync google contacts. :o

1- Installing Applications :

- U can use one of many play store alternatives like Amazon Appstore, F-Droid, Mobogenie, GetJar, etc.

By far the better, easier, faster, lightweight APK Downloader and XAPK Installer is APKPure.

- U can directly download the applications from your web browser or better Download APKPure App :good: and enjoy it's features and receive update notifications.

(XAPK is file format contains package and obb cache).

2- Sync Google Contacts:

- It has always being a headache try finding a way to sync your phone contacts without google sync included in GApps . no actually free alternatives much, may be one good alternative is DAVdroid which u can sync contacts and calendar to cloud servers and restore them back anytime.

- Lately it has been a good solution to connect to all your emails and cloud contacts in one place, it's the magic solution that many of us was waiting for ..... Microsoft Outlook .

3- Maps & Navigation:

- Many better offline maps applications are free to use and very efficient like HERE Maps - Offline Navigation, Offline maps & Navigation, GPS Navigation & Maps Sygic, MAPS.ME - GPS Navigation & Map, and the magnificent Waze - GPS, Maps & Traffic.

Best wishes for lighter and better Custom ROM experiences.

Hi everyone,

Well, i guess it had to happen at some stage!!! I am having major problems with my Uni and i have no more ideas on how to solve the problem so i thought that i would ask all my fellow uni lovers and see if someone might be able to help this old man!!

The Problem: I cant download any ROMS onto my Uni..

What Happens: I place my uni into bootloader mode, i then connect it to my computer and it tells me that the usb device is not recognised and active sync then dissappears. Then when i run the upgrade of course i get ROM errors, i have had error 114, 112 and 113.

The Specs:

I am running windows XP, i have reinstalled and reformatted XP 3 times now to try and fix this problem, using different XP packages, still no joy. I have active sync 4.5 and when i go into bootloader mode my uni says serial and 1.00 at the bottom.

What have i tried: i have turned antivirus off, firewalls off, reinstalled active sync, tried different usb ports, talked nice to my uni, and damn well threatened it as well!! The funny thing is, i have been downloading ROMs onto my uni for almost a year and this is the first time that it is having these problems...

From my minimal knowledge, i guess its a computer conflict with my unu but i just dont understand why after all this time its decided that it doesnt want to play!! If anyone has any ideas at all, please go ahead and jot them down and i will try, i love my uni and i want to make it good again!! Luckily it still works fine!!

Thanks everyone for all your help...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] pranik:
I think you have a problem with usb port of your uni...

Have you tried to attach your uni to another pc?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wout:
Hi,

- indeed as "pranik" says, try a different computer.

- does activesync always work ?

- be sure before upgrading to UNCHECK usb connection in activesync.

- don't use a usb hub

- try an "old" rom, one which you know has worked before.

- try to upgrade the bootloader to 1.01 NOT 2... (1... is for G3 = your device, 2.. is for G4)

be sure to read the wiki first about upgrading your bootloader.

greetings,

Wout
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
when you connect it over usb, does your uni show "USB" instead of serial?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kanass69:
Thanks alot for the ideas guys, its almost 3am here so i wont go and jump in with these ideas as i am afraid at this time of the day i will stuff stomething up!!!

I havent got another computer here at home to try another usb port so i will have to head off to a mates place tommorrow when the sun comes up!! Active sync has and is working, no problems there, the Uni says serial when i am connected to the usb port, now that is wierd, it should say i guess usb, right? wrong? not sure about that...i will try bootloader 1.01 as well and see if that helps at all...I have tried three different ROMS today so i will try an "older" one tommorrow and see if i get the same result, which i think i will...

Thanks again everyone, i really appreciate it, time for me to get some zzz's.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dreamtheater39:
the moment you connect it, it should change from "Serial" to "USB" on your uni. This happens even before windows detects and initializes!

try plugging it into an alternate usb port on your system...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kanass69:
Thanks dream, i couldnt goto sleep until i had tried the usb thing and i tried all my ports and it stays as "serial" rather than change to usb...i havent a clue why its doing that, any ideas?

Funny cos it works as it should when connected to active sync...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
take out SD and SIM, and charge to 100% before flashing and try again...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] WRaymond:
You could also try to use different USB cables. Damn things tend to deteriorate over time, especially when there's a lot of plugging and unplugging involved. Had been in a situation like yours several months ago, tried everything you tried and after a couple of hours I swapped cables with my E-ten P300. That did the trick.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
had that problem before :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rhmartin:
As mentioned in shomki's post above; try & take out the SD Card from slot, go to bootloader mode & reconnect the USB cable. If connection changes to USB then that's it. Otherwise, you may have defective cable, usb port, etc., etc.

Had that similar problem since SPL upgrade from 1.0 to 1.01 & the only way to get the Uni to 'talk' to PC in bootloader mode (only) is by removing the SD Card. Strange!!!

Cheers.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kanass69:
I cant believe it!!

Thanks alot everyone, i took the SD card out and it WORKS now!! Amazing how something like taking out the SD card can fix this problem!!!

Now I am off to try some new ROM's!! Thanks again everyone, its great to have so many friends who jump in when ever there is a problem to lend a hand..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rhmartin:
Great!

Just curious, what Uni variant do you have? O2, Voda, Dopod, etc? Is it a G3 (bootloader 1.x) or a G4 (bootloader 2.x)?

I had that very similar problem after applying super cid / sim unlock to my G3 voda Uni! Looks like some devices react to hacks differently from one another. This is the second time for this voda v1640, the first one is unlocking the extended ROM ... the only one that works is the patched extended ROM unlocker.

No wonder that a certain ROM build works well for one device while not for another!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kanass69:
G'day rh,

i have the qtek 9000 and its a G3 mate..its strange because before flashing this ROM i was using Ivans and i had no probs with that ROM..so obviously there is some sort of conflict there..

thanks again
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rnzk8:
lol seems like you didnt try everything...

glad you got your uni back... :)

the new roms are really good (ehem especially laurentius and beast's)

good luck!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
actually, its not strange at all.

the uni supports flashing via SD card also, not just USB.

inserting the SD while in bootloader probably makes it think you want to flash via SD, so it makes problems connecting the USB.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rhmartin:
hi shlomki,

it is still strange for me since i flashed 6 rom builds already WITHOUT TAKING OUT THE SIM OR SD CARD before the problem occurred. that was before when i had bootloader 1.0.

the only common thing between kanass69 & my setup is both are G3 & both of us did flashed Ivan's ROM. i don't suspect Ivan's ROM at all as the problem but instead i blame my SPL upgrade or Super CID'ing the device since i did screwed up somewhere in the process.

i'm sure other than me or kanass69, some are still flashing ROM's without taking out the SD what more the SIM card without any problems at all. :)

Anyone who wants to start a poll?

cheers!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] farehmani:
i hope you are not using a USB extension hub. plus make sure that you are using original usb cable while upgrading
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lukeap69:
well this should be a tip for everybody who'll try to change rom. unless you upgrade via sd card, always remove the sd card before upgrading. saves you a lot of trouble.

luckily i have been successful with all my upgrades/downgrades with jasjar, tytn and touch using vista.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rhmartin:
Hi farehmani & lukeap69,

With all due respect you are both missing the point.

First of all the problem WAS already solved.

Secondly, as posted above flashing ROM with the both SD & SIM card can be done successfully as I've been doing, before the STRANGE problem appeared.

Finally, we are just trying to figure out how this could be possible when I'm very sure that not all who are upgrading ROM's are removing their SIM and/or SD Card!

Anyway, I guess everyone had made their point and let this be an information source for future reference.

Cheers!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Guru Meditation:
To add a further point to the debate (or is it a red herring?) I have also seen this problem.

Fully charging the battery and removing the SD card seemed to do the trick. Interestingly the battery needed replacing shortly afterwards (losing power with battery still at 65%). I assumed from this that in order for the PC to 'see' and successfully recognise the USB Universal in bootloader it needed a certain current, and if the battery is old, not fully charged, or the SD card is in (drawing current) then it would fail.

Of course none of this is based on evidence - all pure speculation!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kanass69:
Well being the professional that i am, i must admit that i haven't a clue!!! But, now i will forever, remove sim cards, ensure that my uni is fully charged and also do a reset and whilst doing all that, i will pat my head whilst hopping on my left foot, my right hand will be making circles on my stomach in an anit clockwise direction(thats always difficult in that direction) AND i will be singing "Mustang Sally"!!!

ANd after all that, i am sure that my uni will do as its told!!!

Seriuosly though, its just great that there are lots of minds out there that are always trying to think outside the box, thanks alot everyone...
