Screen lifting - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Occasionally, the screen in my Thunderbolt will lift in the center, making a somewhat noticeable spot in the center. I can press out back down and it's back to normal, but it is a tad annoying. Is this a common problem or is there any way to remedy this problem at all?

[Q] Anyone else getting dead spot (touchscreen?)

I've had the device for about 5 months of use, then I switched over to several other phones. The lower left corner just gets harder and harder to press down on it (and its the frickin app drawer icon area too).
Just wanted to see if this was common, and if I should send it back?
I've set it back to a normal rom and left it on a shelf for quite awhile..
Oh, and did the end of life already come into effect for this line from HTC?
I have the same problem and now the top right corner is starting to get hard to press. Weird thing is, if you use one of those drawing apps it detects the lightest touch everywhere just fine. The problem only occurs when trying to press a virtual button like on the keyboard or the ok button in the market. Its been this way on different keyboards and rom's so I dont really get it.
I had this issue... when the phone gets hot. So on hot days, when it's in the case, the screen starts acting up. It happens across roms, so my guess is that it's not limited to a particular one, and it's a hardware issue. Suggestion: reroot or adjust your clock settings to make your phone run cooler.
I had my first Eris replaced because of a deadspot, seems almost as common as a bad trackball/forever scroll

I'm having this issue. Bottom left is dead and then like, row two from the top is dead for me too.
I've got a spot on the upper right of my screen right below where install is when downloading an app from the market

I had a whole row of sensors go out right along the top of the keyboard. The touch screen continued to get worse until it was unusable. I have best buy btp, so I sent it back and received a refurb from bb.

screen freaking out

my eris has started to act very crazy. sometimes when on the main screen or any screen that has multiple slideable screens the phone will just automatically start to scroll left. i've also noticed that the trackball has started to not work to the left. could these be related, if so how or what can i do to fix this?
Mine did the same thing. no fix, the phone is just breaking.

Touchscreen unresponsive when in phone calls

So I've into this issue lately where at the end of a call the touchscreen will become unresponsive. I basically have to wait for the other person to hang up and then the call to disconnect. Is there a way to force the phone to hang up without the touchscreen working? Or is there a reason why this is happening?
I've been experiencing the same thing. I switched from SOS to CM9 and that did the trick. I am just assuming that it was the launcher but not sure. What is your setup?

Finally!
I've been asking this same question over and over and no one seems to have the answer, it happens with a lot of GB phones. I'm running a ice cream rom and its still doing it, maybe when the screen starts going nuts bcz of facial moisture, who the f knows. But I hate it. Usually when people nowaways always want me to hang up 1st. Weird but true.
Mine's done this for awhile. Sometimes it happens in the middle of texting... But it has never happened while tapping away on FPSE or other video game emulators... Very odd.
I don't have this problem with my evo. However in my gs2 it was due to a proximity sensor. It just had some stuff over the sensor. After It was cleaned it worked as normal

Dont have anything special going on, on the phone, not using a custom rom or anything. I am using a Zagg screen protector but this issue is recent as of a few months ago and pretty sporadic.
This happens to me sometimes or also when texting th message thread scrolls to the top?? All I do is lock the screen then unlock and it works fine

Are you using any lockscreen app's?

It's from the skin moisture that's left on the screen after you have finished speaking(especially if you speak for a long time).This issue also appears when it's raining on your phone(not heavy rain,just some drops will make it go crazy).I have tested it and after I have cleaned it with my shirts everything was normal.
This is the reason why it doesn't happen while playing/browsing or other stuff(cuz the screen is not wet).
This is the reason why I usually try to keep the phone a little far from the ear.Especially in hotter seasons.
I've had this issue on my 3D as well, I have a feeling it has something to do with the proximity sensor, but I don't feel like opening the phone up now.
then use bluetooth and you won't have this issue.

Screen unresponsive to touch.

I have an ongoing issue that I'm wondering if it's hardware issue or software. My 3VO will constantly be running smooth as silk one sec and the next it just stops responding to touch. If I lock the screen a second, then unlock, it goes back to normal. Some days are worse than others and depending on the Rom, it may take longer to kick in but it never fails it reverts back to non responding. It's never taken longer than 24, hours before acting up again. Any thoughts or similar experiences with this? I've done search upon search but couldnt find any thing that matched my issues. Thanks for reading.

If after returning your phone back to stock and the issue still continues my guess would be its a hardware issue and not software related..
It's a hardware issue I had on my 3D. Go to Sprint about it.
The screen digitizer is about to die. Take it to sprint or replace digitizer.

[Q] Touchscreen responsiveness issues

Has anyone noticed a lack of response from the touchscreen at times? I initially thought it might be my tempered glass screen protector that was causing the problem. However, I've noticed that when it becomes unresponsive, if I press the lock (power) button and lock then unlock the screen, it begins responding normally again. This issue seems to come and go.

I haven't noticed anything like that but I've only had the phone for 2 days... I hope it's nothing major...

I was getting the same issue when I first got the phone. Seems to be better now after a couple weeks of use. It was real bad with the otterbox defender and the crappy plastic screen cover. It still happened once I put my icarez .2mm tempered glass on, but it was better. Now I hardly notice it.

You mean like playing candy crush and not being able to swipe the colors you want... Had the same issue on 2 different g3s..yup there is definitely a issue imo
For me, it starts with the back button on the nav bar not responding. Then random places on the screen won't respond either. Also, I will have problems with the LG keyboard as well. But, like I said, locking and unlocking will fix it temporarily.

Yeah the back button and space bar are usually the most noticeable and occasionally along the sides. That was the worst when I had the defender on it, but that's always an issue with the defenders.

I have the same issue. It happens With my keyboard a lot. Like a 2 inch offset on where I touch to what button gets got sometimes. And it's fine if I rotate screen, but goes back exactly the same when I put screen back to landscape. It Does seem to happen more often when the back button stops responding too.

I've switched back to Nova Prime from stock launcher and so far it seems to be better. Will update if problems persist.

I've gone with nova also. Much smoother..
Odd. I have been using Nova the whole time and had the issues
After a full day of usage, I can definitely say, I'm not experiencing screen issues since switching back to Nova.
I only use nova... Lol..I have had issues
I've been using Smart Launcher Pro since I got the phone and haven't had any of these issues. I also have a glass screen protector since day one and no screen response issues... Only hardware issue i've had is a faint crackling in the earpiece during some calls.
Well so much for that...Started happening again today.
What ive done is go on www.thinklg.com log in and report the issue to lg.

My touch screen gets bugged when I attempt to unlock a pattern on it. The only solution that I have tried is to lock and unlock the phone again. It's still a hassle though :/
i have responsiveness issue but i cant tell if its the app or the phone its never on the homescreen. the only issue that really drives me crazy is when its dark and im trying to unlock my phone it unlocks and then turns off over and over!

I have the same exact issues with navbar keys on both of my G3's. I changed to Kii keyboard and the same issues on either keyboard. Plus quite often "like now" when I type the words are missing until I scroll the screen. Stock, Nova, Next launchers all do it. No case and Zagg tempered glass. Flip case on the other.
I hope it's not hardware related and we get some software fixes soon. Very frustrating.
I'm experiencing this now on my new LG G3. Have any of you found a solution and/or stopped experiencing this problem?
I will try Nova, even though someone else said the problem came back for them.
It's pretty annoying for my brand new phone to be doing this.
I changed my cache to "art" and it helped. But sprint issued out a new update and that killed "art" caching. So I went back to delvik cache and screen lag is gone now.
