I've been having an issue where my phone will get the sleep of death (SOD), generally from trying to turn the screen on too quickly after turning it off, or if the device gets too hot in general. Occasionally the SOD is accompanied with some data loss, my wallpaper will reset to stock, and old sms messages will be will pop up in notifications as if they are new (and it is a stock messaging notification, not my default messaging app). This has happened on both CM based custom roms and stock roms. It generally become more common the longer I stay on the rom setup, so I haven't been able to pin it to one modification (although I have many). Now on C-rom there has been another problem, when I reboot the LG screen comes on normally but slowly loses contrast and greys out, which kind of worries me given some of the screen issues I've heard about.
Has anybody had issues like this? Any tips would be appreciated
Problem resolved.
What was your problem and how did you fixed it. it could be hepful for someone
Good point. My touch screen was constantly just not working, and often lagging, as if the screen was frozen. I cleared the device cache. You can find an instructional video on how to do this on YouTube (this forum won't let me post links unfortunately). After doing this, I still experienced a bit of lag, but after a few hours it seems that the lag is gone. I'm hoping it'll stay this way.
Hi all
I just want to share my experiences with my second Sony Z1 Compact, which after 1-2 month started showing problems with the backlight.
The backlight is unstable, meaning that it is "blinking" while I am browsing webpages. It is most noticeable / present just after loading a page or after scrolling... after a while it seems to stabilize.
It happens no matter if the backlight is set to automatic adjustment or set completely manually.
Also the backlight is not able to be as bright as normal. For outdoor usage in sunlight or bright light the phone is useless due to this.
Also, it barely changes the backlight strength/brightness if I adjust the slider. Something is completely wrong. It happens in Kitkat 4.4.4 and 5.1.1 and after factory resets.
I have never rooted it.
See my comparison videos here:

Have anybody else experienced anything similar?
I have returned the phone to service, but they claimed "no errors found" even though I explained how to do just like in the videoes.
Now I've returned it to service again (as they didn't repair anything the first time) with some more details and with these videoes attached. I will be really mad if they try to give it back to me with "no errors found".
I am 99% sure that this is a hardware problem, and that it won't disappear through any software updates or firmware hacks.
It seems my phone has a problem of ghost touch. The status bar slides down automatically and randomly. I turned on developer mode to see what happened, it seems, some coordinates near (320, 0) are clicked very often with no reason at all. It annoys me a lot since it interrupts my normal operation. Did someone has the same problem? And how do you solve it? Thanks
I had the same issue. top right of my screen would think it was being touch when it wasnt.
Yes, my wife's ph-1 has this issue. the ghost touches liked a bunch of Instagram posts, it was hilarious seeing my wife's reaction to this, and then she had to go back and unlike a bunch of crap posts.
But this is an issue and very serious one. I believe this could be also causing battery drain if it interacts with OS and causes deep sleep not to kick in when it should. If the issue happens again I will be contacting support to get this BS sorted out.
I have this issue on the oreo beta although it will keep touching the same spot continuously for about a minute or so and if it happens while the phones locked i cant do anything till it stops luckily its been happening less and less often
I had this happen on one phone but not the others, worse when the phone got hot
i think it's the screen, if you look closely, its not flat. Mine is kinda wavey at the edges, like there's a little too much adhesive, and i think that waviness gets worse when the phone gets hot, and causes the phantom touch

It was gone for 3 days and now the problem is back today. I tried to restart in safe mode and problem is still there so it is a system issue, not caused by third party app.
Same issue here. No rhyme or reason I can see as to why
Mine was happening on my old PH-1 without the earpiece screen, but i got the new version i got has no issue.
This issue is very annoying I'm thinking of returning the device to Sprint and getting another but since it happens so random I wouldn't even be able to show them the issue. Thought it was an issue with the oreo beta but after going back to stock I still have the issue starting to regret buying this phone
I've never experienced this issue on mine
Bump. Been happening to me on Oreo beta. About once or twice a day it happens. I just lock and unlock the phone and it stops. It's weird. I think it has something to do with the screen sensitivity. It's more prone to happening when the device screen is all smudgy or if I just washed my hands.
I have the same issue too.

Me too
Same issue here as well. I did the touch sensitivity trick as well and still getting it. Hope its a software issue and not a hardware one.
I haven't encountered ghost touch but encountered slow responding touch issue. Sometimes the touchscreen will respond to my command slower like 3-4 secs after i touch the screen. Every time this issue appears, a restart of my phone will clear it. Very likely software issue. I'm still on nougat, hopefully they fix it on Oreo before it goes out of beta.
My first PH-1 would become touch unresponsive for 30+ seconds all the time (it was fully updated at the time). It seemed to happen more frequently when I was typing on the stock keyboard. I eventually returned it and bought another several weeks later. I've had no issues with the new one-quite happy with it. I'm running the Beta2 update and enjoying it.

That's good to know. Mine also happened when using the keyboard occasionally as well. I have a replacement set coming as my original set's packaging did not come with the pull tab on the box and there was a fingerprint smudge at the back of the phone when i took the phone out of the box the first time. I presumed mine was a used/returned set, not new as what i had ordered. Hope the new set fixes the issue.
My phone has the same issue whenever I'm charging it and using it at the same time it's registering multiple touches when I'm using just one finger on the screen, it mostly happen when I'm doing a long press action. In developers option I have show taps enable so I'm able to see all ghost touches.
I fixed my ghost touch issue with a simple hard reset.
It will come back sadly
Just this morning, out of nowhere, I started experiencing random touchscreen jumps and touches. My phone just registers random touches after a few seconds of use before completely disabling the touchscreen. This mostly happens on the bottom left but its random touches. The only way to temporarily fix it is locking and unlocking the device. I tried a soft and several hard resets which fixed the issue for a few minutes but eventually brought back the problem in an hour or two. Is this a hardware or software problem? Should I attempt to install a custom rom to fix it? My model is the US99721E.
