Hi,

Has anyone here noticed touch issues in certain sections like the google feed? The phone starts detecting touches while I am swiping up normally. This happens in Boost for Reddit too. This is becoming a massive nuisance for me. It does not happen everywhere.

You mean ghost touch problem?

Not sure if this can be considered a ghost touch issue. Let's say I am swiping up on google feed, the phone instead of scrolling through my feed will open an article instead. It will register a click instead of a swipe action. I have enabled the "Show touches" option in developer settings and I can see that the phone screen is detecting a swipe, but the software is registering it as a tap.

Another issue is that my phones randomly stops reading my fingerprints.

I may have received a lemon.

I have the same issue. I think it is a software bug they might fix. Unless we both are the only ones with this issue.
Just to know. Which screen guard are you using?
For me also fingerprints dont register sometimes

I am using a note 7 pro tempered glass for my g8x. I was wondering if that's causing this issue.

I called LG service center today, he asked me to factory reset but no luck after that too. He asked me to get software updated from LG service center if problem isn't solved through factory reset. But i guess even that wont solve problem considering this factory reset experience. Seems their latest software is buggy or its hardware issue. Donno what to do should i replace product

I mean seriously this was their last year flagship n this irritating issue they have

Cant understand if they cant deliver good software then why dont they simply provide bootloader unlocking so that users can have custom roms. :X

I too experience the same issue. I had this issue without tempered glass and also with tempered glass from panthershieldz applied. We better try to root the device and install a different cfw to check it.

I am just clicking on the Right side of a story and it sends me to the previous Story... And this is happening with much other applications too,... It's registering swipe instead of clicks

Hey guys. I think I figured it out. I am guessing most of us facing this issue are using gestures for navigation.
I put navigation buttons back and the issue stopped. Then I again activated gestures and reduced sensitivity. And issue is still not there. Again I increased sensitivity and still issue is not there. I am guessing it is a bug in gesture controls. Pls check and see guys.

If you guys still have the issue, then the other things I have done is a factory reset and a debloat of the OS.
I doubt these are the reason for fix though.

Phone now finally feels like a flagship after getting this resolved :good:

I suspected the gestures to be the problem and I tried disabling them, but it didn't help. I will factory reset it and check again.

I have 2 devices, and I haven't encountered any such issues on either of them. Did you update the software on your devices OTA?

Were both of these bought in the recent Flipkart sale?

I reset my phone and then removed all the bloatware as you did. The phone seemed to work well for a while but started acting up after a few hours. I did reduce the animation times to .5x though, not sure if that has anything to do with it, disabling them didn't fix it.

Yes, they were. I bought them on the second sale day-at Rs. 22,000. Haven't had any issues in either of them.

Mine is from the same batch. Not sure what's wrong here, since the issue is specific to certain applications.

Try reducing the gesture sensitivity. I have animations at 1x.
Sometimes the issue does pop up. But very rarely.
