Screen sensitivity, Returning mine - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi
I got the V30 almost 2 weeks ago and the sensitivity is horrible, i have to press most apps or buttons 3 to 4 times before it responds. I thought it might have been my glass screen protector so i removed this and its still the same. Anyone else had this or heard of this?

Nope. Pretty responsive. Think most reviews say the same.

Mine is fine. My V30 and now V30+ seem to work fine.

Yes mine is doing it with small items online with websites and in most apps k use even with Gboard sometimes

There was sensitivity issue in past LG phones too. I hope that doesn't make an appearance here.

I returned mine today, got a replacement , So far so good on the new one, Mine would do it on large parts of the screen, I ran an app showing screen touches and on some parts of the screen i had to tap it hard for it to register which isnt right!

Glad it was resolved thru exchange.
I've only experienced a few instances of my V30 not registering my finger press, when tapping an "accept" button or some similar circumstance, maybe just 3 or 4 times. Could have been a browser / app issue -- the issue doesn't repeat, and the norm is the lightest brush of my finger against the screen is all it takes.

Yes , no questions asked , they just swapped it outright. The sales guy did take it off me and try , I watched him try and press the home button about 5 times without success lol. Hopefully just a bad handset and nobody else gets this.

Mine worked great until I put a glass screen protector on it. Now I am having the issues you mentioned. Isn't there a way to recalibrate the touch screen sensitivity?

The occurrence with screen protectors, specially tempered glass protectors, is pretty common with these new curved phone screens because the glass has adhesive on the edges only, and the screen protector does not transmit positive contact to the phone screen on a consistent basis. The solution seems to be to use a protector with full screen adhesive, (LOCA), but it does need to be cured. Additionally, this method prevents another nuisance... the constant intrusion of dust and lint between the phone screen and the screen protector.

Very common with the glass screen protectors. Lots of information in the accessories forum.

Seems to be a quality control issue with lg. When i first bought my phone from a Sprint store, I noticed the same issues you mentioned. Had a spot on the screen that would only respond to short touches. If you moved an app to a certain spot on the home screen you couldn't move it, only open it. Exchanged it the next day in store. The replacement device works great with no issues but upon opening the box i noticed black plastic shavings underneath the plastic screen protector that wraps around the phone.

Damnit, Scratch!

Long story short - get a screen guard.
3 days and definitely babying it I noticed a super-small (1-2mm), less than hairline width scratch in the top right corner. The area is usually dark within the area of the status bar and menu bars for applications but when those have been hidden the slight distortion is evident. Though, even on a white background (ie. web browsing) at 100% brightness its barely noticable.
But its still annoying as %&@^!
I decided to put on the Verizon screen guards as those were the first ones available locally. They're not bad for a bargain grab $12 for 3 - full screen protector with proper cutouts. They also feel and look very similiar to the Seidio branded one I used on my original DInc. It'll probably pick up scratches faster, but its better than the screen getting a new nick in a more irritating location.
I always put on a screen protector just for that reason. I got a Zagg on the same day I got the phone. You might have to look around for them but they are there.
how comparable is the screen compared to the incredible 2? i can find cheap zagg-like covers on ebay but wasnt sure if they would match up.
I bought the Verizon screen protectors on the day I bought it as well and I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the protector. I've seen Verizon screen protectors that make ridiculous screen noise and make it impossible to swipe your finger across the screen, but I am very pleased with these protectors. Unfortunately my case hasn't come yet, so I am still on high alert...

I used the inc2 for a while without scratch, very cautious not to put in same pocket as key and whatnot, I wasn't going to use a screen protector as I never do, but I talked my dad into trading two old icraps so he could get the inc4g adn become and Android lover.
he made me put one on, I'm sure I'll be thanking him later lol.
the quality actually is surprising decent, the cutouts are nice, and can't even tell it's there, (and this is coming form someone who does not like using them)
only gripe is, idk if its the phone sensor or the protector as i never had the phone without the screen protector on,
I noticed when on a call and going to grab the pull down notification down the sensor turn off the screen, it's actually quite annoying.
the inc2 there was like just one sensor u could know were it was and put ur finger in front of, but on this phone it seems the entire top is the sensor lol

I think that might be a Sense launcher setting, not sure if it can be changed. I've already switched to Apex as a launcher and it seems to let me swipe "anywhere" on the homescreen to bring down the notifications.

I've had this problem on many phones. I always put the screen protector as far up on the screen as I can without making it look funky. But the edge of that protector kinda screws with the touch sensor and makes the pulldown act weird at times.

I also just realized that the sensor is now on the right side, it was on the left on inc2, helps a bit, but still funky with pull down.

That's the nice thing about Zagg Invisible shield. It has cutouts for the sensor and the camera so it doesn't block but still covers the rest of the screen up to the top.

Smudge on lower right corner

Ok, firstly I'll admit that I suffer from a certain level of OCD when it comes to phones. I ordered a GPE last week and was very impressed with the phone. The size is a bit large, but everything else, except for the camera, is phenomenal with this phone.
However, about one week after I got the phone, I noticed what can best be described as a smudge on the front lower right corner, about the radius of a quarter. Granted, since it is at the corner, the total size would be a quarter of a quarter. Anyway, it is usually hard to see it unless you run your finger over the area, whereby the spot becomes clearly visible. I don't know if it is a scratch on the screen protector, but I can't feel any texture and light doesn't seem to show any micro abrasions. It almost seems to be under the screen protector.
Anyway, the unit also had a weird creak on the back of the phone (pressing it in an area would make the phone creak), so I asked for a replacement unit. I got it yesterday and what do you know, the smudge is there on the new unit, too! So my question to other Z Ultra owners is whether this is a common thing and secondly, whether it is an issue with the screen protector only, not some damage to the screen.
The best way I can describe it is as if someone applied pressure on the corner leaving a mark. Again, it is really hard to see if the screen is clean, but becomes easily visible if you smudge the corner with your finger - a clearly visible quarter-circle will become visible if your phone is like mine. Thanks for your help. BTW, I'm going to keep my phone unless it turns out that the smudge is some kind of pressure damage.
The anti finger print coating wears off real fast on the xzu, only way to solve this is to either remove the sony screen protector or apply another screen protector on top of it. Mine wore out in a week, and your replacement gpu is most likely a used defective unit being refurbished. The reason why the smudge is on the lower right corner is because that's the area you use most often....for scrolling and unlocking the screen, hence the wear out

I'm not so sure my replacement unit is a refurbished one. I believe Google has a policy to replace phones with new devices. Also, it is basically the exact place and shape as the smudge on my previous phone, and this unit has been used for only a bit more than 24 hours. The smudge starts at the lower right corner of the glass on the front of the device and goes as far as barely short of the actual display portion of the glass slab.
With sample of two devices, it seems to be a result of the manufacturing process because the two are so similar. Just weird. I guess if it really gets under my skin I'll try to remove the film.
I had the same thing, only in the lower left corner, but i got my screen replaced (for a different reason), and the screen protector i got on the new display is looking good. It's only the oleophobic coating that's wearing off, but i understand how that can be incredible annoying.

Believe what you want to believe. Although I'm telling you its a used device...do you really think they'll thrash all units sent back and dispatch new ones every time someone RMA their phone. Anyways, the solution have been stated out for you, choose what floats your boat

I suppose that theory is as good as any. Nice device anyway. Thanks for the reply!
Yes you can hide it.
apply any screen protector on top. The sh!tty smudge will not visible any more.
Sorry to necro this old thread.
I just wanted to add that I have the exact same issue. Noticed it today while going to show someone it.
I've been babying the heck out of the phone to prevent this issue, but unfortunately my screen protector and case won't show up until a few days from now.
I'm hoping applying the screen protector over it is all I need to do.
I figured I'd post in this thread in case someone else also had this issue and was unaware of this common issue.
Smudge in up left corner
Hi.Just bought this phone and when i clean the screen from fingerprints i see a smudge or mark or whatever its called about 1 x 1 cm in the left up corner.Is it normal?
If you look carefully it seems to be from inside and it doesnt leave.You can see it better only when you pass over it with a towel while cleaning the screen.
Is it something with antistutter film?Warranty covers it?
Thanks in advance
I have it also, 1 day old phone. Hard to believe it is wear.

Is my screen broken?

These past few days, I've been noticing unresponsiveness to touch in a certain part of my screen. This screenshot shows what I mean. I never lifted my finger while drawing, and I swiped up and down continuously. The middle band of unmarked screen seems to be failing and only works when pressed harder. Am I going to have to get it repaired? I'm tempted to use this as an excuse to jump to the G4 when it comes out but I'd rather get this fixed if there's any way I can do it

I recently broke my screen glass and digitizer. I had a region that was vertically oriented that didn't work over the rest of the screen. It is possible that the digitizer or maybe connections to the digitizer are broken. I ended up buying a new screen, as it comes with the digitizer and glass. Reading about it sounded like a huge pain to even think about just replacing the digitizer and glass. The new screen was around $70-80 on Amazon. Process was well documented on iFixit and youtube. The only problem I had was that I didn't receive my order of adhesive tape and didn't want to wait. Now I have a 1 inch area that leaks light. I can live with it until I decide it is worth cracking open again to properly seal it up.

[REVIEW] TechMatte Edge to Edge TGSP

Overall does what it's supposed to do, but some annoyances with it! I wouldn't spend money on it at this present state.
DOES NOT work with most cases
Weird grid (dot matrix) on the screen.
Adhesive isn't very strong, very little pressure lifts it up.
Isn't "round" on edges
If you have any specific questions let me know, I'll post specific pictures if you'd like; but here's a few showing the annoyances
I'll upload images here
Can you still see the dots when you turn on the screen?

You apparently didn't go outside with it lol. I was out yesterday in sunlight and the dots were VERY noticeable with the screen on/off.

It's been overcast & gloomy, so I didn't notice it until today when the sun was out; only can see it at a certain angle; definitely wouldn't recommend this protector in this form.
I've owned TechMatte screen protectors on pretty much every device I've owned over the last 2 years and have yet to be disappointed until this protector.
I got this as part of the free promo on here. I've noticed some good and bad
PROs:
1) Does cover entire screen
2) No halo effect
3) Cutouts do fit correctly to FFC, sensor, earpiece and buttons
4) Comes with all the proper install materials
5) Fit fine with my case.
CONs:
1) Odd dot-matrix effect. Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that the screen doesn't seem to "attach" like most tempered glass protectors.
2) Fingerprint resistance is not as good as typical TechMatte items I've bought.
3) Cover for the home button does seem to cause a bit of disturbance with EASE of fingerprint sensor use. It still works, but it does seem to "miss" more
4) Biggest and most disappointingly: It interferes with the swipe down for notifications. I find I have to use WAY more pressure to pull down the notification section. Also am noticing an alarming number of "missed" letters when I am typing now.
It looks great and applies well, but I would have to agree with the OP that I wouldn't buy this in it's current state.
Worst thing for me is that I had to pitch the screen protector I had on it that while it wasn't edge to edge, it was responsive and didn't inhibit anything. Now I have to pay another $9 to get another one shipped to me, as I can't deal with retyping everything I input 3 times to correct for missed key strokes.
Take a look at this one. I just ordered it cuz someone posted this on one of the forums. It looks pretty decent.

How's the touchscreen?

I've had a number of smartphones and tablets over the years (and working in IT, I've used a hundred times more). On every gadget I've used, the touchscreen/digitiser has always been 'perfectly' sensitive, i.e. I've never been able to touch the screen without it registering a touch.
With my P9000, if I'm very gentle, I can touch the screen and it doesn't register as a "touch". This isn't really a problem, until it comes to using the keyboard. The bottom (half?) of the screen is a little bit less sensitive than the top, and this is a really annoying when I'm swyping. Sometimes the finger loses just enough contact, and the phone thinks I've swyped two small words in, rather than one big word.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing all this is to ask via the medium of a poll... Has anyone else had this? Is this common with the Elephone P9000?
I dont have this issue. But I read some (not all) screen protectors can cause the screen to stop functioning as expected

I used a tempered glass screen protector and then the screen almost didn't work. When removed the screen worked perfectly.

Did you use the official one? Been told that one causes serious issues. I have one from a company called brotech but I've yet to use it
I found that one of those plastic flexible screen protectors made the sensitivity issues a bit worse, and the tempered glass screen protector made it worse again.
(Again, I could get easily get it to respond, but I would make mistakes when I was swyping at speed!)

Yes, this was the official one.
I'll be putting my Brotech screen on later today. I'll let you'll know how it is
I noticed that the screen is very unresponsive (especially bottom part) when the phone is laid flat on a horizontal surface. When I take it into the hands it works quite normal.
I have the same problem. With tempered glass it is unusable. Even with out it, it very often does not register touches, especially on the sides
I'm using the elephone supplied tempered screen protector and my touchscreen sensitivity is awful...to the point where I want to smash the thing into tiny pieces. I've never had this problem with any other devices I've had. Can anyone tell me if the touchscreen experience is better if the software is flashed...to use Cyanogenmod for example...?
