I recently got my lg v10 on Sunday and everything was working great than all of a sudden yesterday my mini view stopped working and can't get it to work. I've done everything could think of restarting the phone, pulling the battery, letting it fully die and charge it. Turned the setting off than back on and nothing. Yes the setting is turned on and it won't work. I must be the only one with this issues cause I can't find a solution anywhere.
Factory reset?

I lost my Mini View after unlocking the bootloader/rooting. I have been looking for a way to get it back myself.
the mini view is the second screen correct?
Same here.. Happened on Day 2. I haven't been able to get it back since. All stock. Tried everything short of a factory reset.. I really dont want to have to go back and restore everything. This along with random reboots (6 so far) have me questioning the software on this phone.. Strange given its so similar to the G4 software wise..you'd imagine there wouldn't be this many bugs initially.
After I used my cleaner (AMC security) mini started working and then it stopped again
I thought only me having this problem lol. My mini view is suddenly not working as well. It just happens today on my 8th day having this phone. Looking for a way to get it back.
Hopefully，there will be a solution soon....
As someone has mentioned, do a master reset.
Take it back and exchange it.
When you slide your digit across the nav bar make sure it touches the side rail. I thought mine was acting up until I discovered that. Also you don't have to slide it across the whole bar, usually I just start at the square and slide to the right since I'm right handed.

this is my 2nd LG V10 (I had to return the first due to poor audio quality and overheating issues)
but I did not have issues with mini view until I received this one
now on this 2nd device it started acting up within just a few hours of receiving it
(both my devices are stock no rooting done)
so now whenever I would try to use mini view
it won't register touch at all!
my whole phone would freeze up and not allow me to do anything!!!
I had to do 3 battery pulls and a factory reset before I just disabled the mini view completely
that seemed to temporarily fix the issue
however its annoying now that I can't use this function
I am ok with it because I never really used it to begin with but I am not returning yet another phone for this reason lol
hoping an update will fix a lot of issues that we've come across with this device because I really love it!

I was having the same problem and it turns out apparently I wasn't doing the gesture properly. Thanks for the tip, mrwinkle!! That works every time now. Now, hopefully LG will make a subtle change that lets us just swipe across the buttons instead of edge-to-edge...

All I have to do is touch the second screen at one end and slide about 1-2cm across touch the screen, all is working fine.

When i was in a“ dual window ” mode , i slide the bottom
It poped up error message “ mini view is not compatible with dual window”
But in normal status, i had never successed to activate mini view.
So i guess it is not a guesture problem in my case.
I Inboxed lg already，but it is xmas hoilday so i do not expect to get reply in a short period of time.

Eventually i went back to the store. The representative exchanged a new phone for me and mini view is now working. However, i need to install all my apps and customise my phone once again, despited that the representative used 1.5 hour to back up and restore my phone data.
That sucks @2_6 - but at least it's done. How much do you have to back up that it took an hour and a half??!! I thought I had a lot at nearly 30 gig's, but it only took 20(ish) minutes or so.
I love the Mini-View - makes it a cinch to use the phone with my thumb if the left hand is doing/holding something else. I can even activate the Mini-View with my thumb if I swipe fast enough from the < to the right edge of the screen. But it's got to be fast and straight.

I hv around 25 gb storage need to be transfered. I thought the respenstive should be very familiar to this task as they sell a lot of mobiles everyday， so i let them handle for me . They use a otg flash dish to back up and transfer my data. And they told me to pick up the phone 1hr later ( i still waited for 20mins when i went back to the store). What i do not expect is the back up do NOT include apps.........
The mini views is useful for single hand. Normally i start swipe from the middle to the edge.
That's a long time.
I'm thinking your phone waited for the process while other phones were ahead of you.
Disable Switch access and reboot. Now mini view gesture work again

I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,
It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.
For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3
times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.
Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,
then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.
Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.
Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up
shooting all over the screen.
And sometime it will work perfectly!
I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so
I hard set after awhile it started again,
So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours
the problem was back.
Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a
loop that doesn't end.
I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?
I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get
any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!
WOW nobody? So no one was heard of this problem before?
Can anyone direct me to directions on taking apart the Wallaby?
Thanks <><
It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.
Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?
Thanks
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)
put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!
I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,
I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be
one on the main board.
If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?

Just to be clear, do you mean that your phone doesn't register your fingers touching the screen on the left side of the phone sometimes?
I would suggest downloading the free app "Touch Test" which shows a grid that not only shows where you are touching, but the path of your slides across the screen. If the phone begins to act up again, you can open the act and see if and where the screen is cutting out in the grid. Aside from that, it might simply be that you need a replacement and its coincidental that it was acting up along side you running a 4.0 rom.

That is the oddest thing I have ever heard lol
It really might be a hardware issue man...I can't think of how it could be the rom. I mean, sure you might occasionally
have an unresponsive touchscreen....but only half the screen working?? That's just weird Oo I'll keep looking around for answers though man
but thus far I've found very little.
Good luck

I have a video but i'm new member i can't send link to my post. I will sent to your inbox. tk
Okay, so that anyone else that happens to come to this thread is on board, here is the video that shows his problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDolJhmDog&feature=youtu.be
As you can see in the app, if the origin of the trail is on the right side of his screen, the swipe is recognized across over to the left without problem...if however the origin is on the left side of the screen, no touch is recognized until he reached the middle of the screen, at which point it becomes recognized.
I am still looking around for a similar problem, but thus far have few ideas. Typically, the screen either is totally unresponsive or momentarily unresponsive...never half and half, and especially with such weird rules. By this, I mean that obviously the left side of the device is capable of recognizing touches, since if he begins at the right side, it does just fine....the only problem is if he originally touches the left side, then it doesn't recognize it.
My guess: it could be a kernel issue.
I would try the following:
Pull battery and reboot. Take out any external SD card.
Back up what important apps or data you have and try a factory reset.
You can also try some the options below:
1. Reflashing the kernel.
2. Try a different kernel if available.
3. Factory reset and full wipe and flash a different ics or cm9 rom to see it the problem persist. You can try to isolate the issue to hardware or firmware.
4. Full reset and flash back to complete stock to see if the problem persists. If you are fully reseted and back on stock eclair or froyo and the problem persists, you may have to open up the device to check all the connections.
sometimes a bad battery may also creates some problems
Now i'm using xerxes custom 2.3.6 gingerbread. It's ok but i don't know why when i use ics. I can use half left screen

I've had multiple reboots of my phone without doing anything to it lately, also one time it just shut itself off and it took me like five minutes to get it on again. Any ideas?
Now it seems to be stuck on the "Windows Phone" page when booting up with the dots going from left to right, what the **** is this :S
I did a hardreset via the bootloader thingy and now my back, home and search buttons don't work..
It is customary in XDA that when reporting issues to inform things like;
Radio
ROM
Usage
Any apps installed before the issue started.
I had random reboots on my titan before in the past. Phone would freeze and restart eventually it got to the point where even after a hard reset it would freeze. I narrowed it down to the Phone trying to connect to 3G even though I live in an area that T-Mobile has not re-farmed.
On an unrelated note, I've noticed my Edge speed have had a slight speed bump, heres hoping it's a sign.

there is a memory issue on some of these phones.
maybe check out this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388232
I got my Titan back from HTC repair two weeks ago as the 3 capacitive bottom buttons didn't work, Never did find out why? After receiving it from repair they worked but the screen decided to go off when it wanted and would not come back on no matter what I did and the rear of phone got super hot, I finally fiddled with sim card tray and found if you moved the sim card in the tray it shut the screen off loose connection etc, So it went back again, Recieved it Yesterday from its second repair having a new screen fitted and proximity sensor???? and the three buttons at bottom did not work again, So I was half way through a real *****y email to Customer support when it suddenly started working after leaving it for around ten minutes, There was also a long delay after boot before the main homescreen appeared, I did have to hard reset three times before it sorted itself out, Very strange stuff, Anyway I didnt send the email as it is all working now, Fingers crossed it has been stable since and has over half the memory full, So maybe have a fiddle with the sim card tray or hard reset via boot load screen and hopefully it will work again.
I noticed today when i woke up i cannot press the right side of the screen and get any kind of response. It is only about a thumbs with of the right edge but this prevents me from being able to hit send on text messages on the default messaging app and also on go sms as the send buttons are in the same general location. Is my phone just FUBAR or is there some way i can resolve the issue. Have tried power cycling and thats about it. I guess i need to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue and if there is any way to find out and fix the problem.
I've been having the same issue actually. In the bottom right corner, anyway.
Like when I go to attach a picture to a text message, I have to hit the text box first so the paperclip button is out of the corner. I've also had some trouble unlocking with the camera or touching it from the Navbar, where it's positioned in the bottom right corner. :/

I have similar issues with that when my phone is plugged in. And my acreen often locks up kinda with the last image on the screen being the only thing you see until you reset.

I don't think I've had an image stuck to my screen yet. I have this problem even if it isn't plugged in, which is really strange. Not sure why it's so unresponsive, takes several tries to unlock/select.
And kudos for being in Portland too! :good:
Have either of you found a consistent way around the problem or a way to resolve it? Also are you running the phone in the base state that you bought it in or is it rooted / unlocked?
I just tested my phone, by opening the browser to google.com (mostly white background), all around the edge of the screen. And I can see feedback animations for all my touches around the edge of the screen. So I don't think there is any problem with the touch digitizer, at least on my phone. Phone is still stock, rooted and TWRP.
I have touch animation when I touch the bottom right corner on the lockscreen, but it doesn't always drag/ripple out. Sometimes it acts like I've pulled my finger off so I have to do it again.
Rooted, unlocked, stock.
After touch responsiveness got increasingly worse i contacted AT&T and they are sending me a free replacement since these issues seem to be covered under the one year warranty. Just throwing that out there in case anyone else gets as frustrated with the problem as I have and cant find a permanent fix.
I can confirm that I am having very similar problems... it is getting worse.
I am stock rooted and unlocked.
It is getting harder and harder to press things, fling actions (like scrolling through a list) hardly move a thing.
I just installed a multitouch visualizer and whenever I have 2 fingers on the screen and then go to cross them (start with fingers in opposite corners, move one up and the other down until they pass each other in the middle) it actually loses both fingers and then sometimes only one pops up again on the screen.
Can anybody try an app like this Play Store Link.
I've had similar results with 2 other multitouch testers.
Is it my phone, or everybody's?
----EDIT-----
Figured I would install the Base ROM (7.0>7.3) because either it was a software issue and maybe the ROM would fix it, of it was a hardware issue (I really didn't think it should be acting like that) and I would try to get it replaced.
The Base ROM fixed my issue (for now, fingers crossed).
Now using a multitouch visualizer, the contact points are always seen, even when the fingers cross.
Don't know what caused it, but it was software (at least for me).
----EDIT----
Just plugged in the charger again... now the touchscreen is acting strange again... this phone does strange things when plugged in...
I bought a Mate 20 Pro on preorder and noticed within a few days a seemingly non-responsive part of the screen that was an intermittent issue.
Basically every now and again (often enough it’s annoying but not every time) after I unlock the display I am unable to select any app icons in the lower half of the touchscreen. The top half is fine - the home buttons are fine but everywhere from the middle down is non responsive.
I assumed a hardware fault so amazon replaced it for me - and the new device is exactly the same!
Am I just super unlucky and have managed to get two faulty devices a month apart from Amazon or is something else causing the issue?
Thanks.
Think you've just been unlucky,nothing like that on mine
Fine here too. I assume you tested this as soon as you got the phone before installing any app / custom launcher?
Have you tried running smart diagnostic tests manual mode in hicare, there's a touchscreen display test.
Sent from my HUAWEI LYA-L09 using XDA Labs
I only noticed it in use after I used a custom launcher however I tried multiple launchers and saw the same behaviour.
I just did the HiCare test and it says normal. I did hard reset it the other day and it hasn’t happened since so I will see if anything else happens. I can’t say I am thrilled by the thought of another swap from amazon if it does happen. That’s super bad luck.
Hi how did it go after the hard reset?
I got the same issue myself but instead of being the lower half, my entire screen does not respond to touch. I've done a hard reset my self and i do run the stock launcher. Even though my screen still doesn't respond to touch now and then after unlocking the screen or receiving a phone call.
Touchscreen issue
Yup I get it annoyingly so as well! Often takes a "double tap". Pain in the ace!
