yes it happens on mine too.......i think all devices have same problem

the sensor isn't actually slow it samples at a quite fast rate compared to other sensors. I think it's a software bug.

Why is a 0.5-second delay a problem? I like that I actually have to look at the phone before I press some weird on-screen setting that I don't know

I hope someone would find a fix for this, I come from an iPhone and the sensor was way more sensitive.
However, for me, it's not a major issue.

Yeah I'm constantly getting hung up on by iphone users, its way to sensitive.

i think so too. it is definitely a software bug.
i hate it so much.. when i get an unwanted call (or any other)> i answer> realize it is useless> and want to just hang up> but when i remove the phone from my face it doesn't wake up at all... for me to disconnect the phone, i have to manually wake up the screen with home or power button and then press the End Call key!!!!!!!!!!
FRUSTRATING! I hope there is a fix soon!

same here, too slow to wake atleast i find it slow compared to the iphone 3g i used till date

You know, Samsung probably made it like this on purpose..

probably but there needs to be a way to fix it

i have few seconds delay, so i have to hint people nearby don't talk anything yet before it really hang up, as annoying as the wake up lag i have to wait few seconds just to see the clock.

Imho it's a feature, not a bug. If the sensor is too sensitive, it turns the screen on even with slight movements of the phone during the call. HD2 had exactly this problem, and I hanged up the call with my ear several times. So I'm actually happy that SGS2 waits a bit longer to clear things up.
Also if you just want to hang up, you can use power button for that (without turning the phone off), there is a setting for it in well .. settings.

Yuuuuup definately a problem! No one cant say otherwise. Annoying as well :[email protected]

Sensor sampling is faster but delay on the tilting is there for obvious reasons.

Verizon LG G2 over sensitive touch

Anyone else having the issue where the touch screen is overly sensitive making typing or swyoing nearly impossible? Makes it hard to control movement of pages via browser.

I have noticed that my AT&T G2 is a bit too sensitive to my touches as well. It's not a big deal but it's a little bit annoying sometimes.

Maybe don't drink so much coffee?
Haven't had this issue...

Starting to think I should report this as defective because I went to test store model...not nearly as bad

Same issue with Verizon model for me. Not that common but very annoying when I do notice it.

I fixed it by wiping the screen with a micro fiber cloth and doing a full factory reset. I don't know which one fixed it. It works perfectly now. Using an AT&T G2.

I've been looking for a way to fix the over-sensitivity on the vzw device. The screen will seem to scroll extremely fast out of nowhere.

I thought it was just me. When I'm texting sometimes it will put two or three of the same letter in a row from just one touch. VZW model

Occasionally experiencing something of this nature on my VZW phone as well. Not frequent, though.

Having this same issue right now. I feel like it started happening after last week's software update (verizon).
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4.

I had the same issue when scrolling thru the screens using Zedge to look for notifications and ringtones. It was a big pain in the butt.

has anyone figured this out? I literally can't use a browser because when I try to scroll, it just zooms in. so annoying

On the phone with a vzw rep at technical support now... She said that they don't have any reports of that on a mass scale. I told her that it doesn't happen all the time and she said that it was probably a fluke... Whatever! Obviously this isn't just a problem on my phone..

It doesn't happen mass scale because most people won't address or report the issue. Just bad on verizon for not testing

sensitive touch
I have the very same issue with the touch sensitivity, obviously since i have found this thread. I find that by turning the screen of then back on it tends to reset it. I just wish i didn't have to do it so often. I would rather not factory reset my phone being how it was already a pain to make the transfer of data in the first place. Plus in theory, the reset shouldn't work being that it came of the production line this way. No amount of resets will change the outcome of the hardware that was installed, until production fixes it for the next line. But if others have found solid longer lasting methods, minus tge reset, I'm willing to test them til i simply get tired of itand replace it.

I am on Verizon and get it occasionally. I just turn the screen off and back on, and that has corrected it every time so far. Not too annoying yet, but if it gets worse I'll try getting it switched out.

I'm guessing this is a software issue, but it only happens to me while web browsing

Quite honestly this whole phone seems to lag and have some sort of bugs here and there, very disappointed so far. The Note 2 is calling me.

3rd Update removed the Lock effect

Haven't totally verified it, but it looks like Samsung took away the Lock effect, watercolor, which gives the nice water sound and lets you splash around the colors on the opening lock screen. Will find out more tomorrow, anyone else experiencing this same option missing ?

another guy in the other ota update thread mentioned the same thing.

I can confirm that it did in fact remove the effect on the lockscreen... What in the world... That was a nice feature. Mind you it lagged beastly for such a powerful device. (Specs sheet wise)
PS: I can definitely see a noticeable difference in speed. It might be just for the time been. But i'll keep you guys posted.

There is something about that water effect that causes more lag than it should. I noticed on my first generation Note 10.1 that disabling it improved speed on the homescreen and even typing. It shouldn't, but it did. When I noticed this I asked two other guys and they were having issues with lag. I told them to disable the water effect. Both also agreed that it improve the speed of the device as a whole.
Doesn't make any sense. I was, however, glad to see the ripple effect gone. It is beautiful though (less the lag)

Why do they take it away...regardless...

If indeed it cause lagged, why not just give the option of the three effects on the lock screen and add, an off feature and let the user of the tablet decide if they want it off or not. They also, have bugs in the high end graphics games crapping out. They also have cause the S-voice to crash when you ask certain questions, they also have contacts created with action memo failing to keep first and last names apart. I will do a video on all this nonsense and post it on youtube. Hopefully, Samsung will see it and respond with some sort of fix for all this stuff, and maybe just maybe they will put back the ripple effect and let us chose if we want it or not. And by the way Samsung if your reading this, your tablet still is laggy at times even with this ripple effect turned off.

almost ready to return tablet ...cant take samsung and the way they do the updates. total disregard for the user, not fixing the real bugs instead taking away a feature that I found to be quite soothing and liked very much. just frustrating company. I will do a video tomorrow and lets see how samsung responds to my doozy of a video.

Ok, well Im wondering what lag you guys are referring to. My point was that all samsung had to do was give an option to turn off, the effect, for those that wanted to, and they could have stated it makes the tablet slightly if any faster. Anyway, Believe it or not, I was able to add it back in for those who like to use it and guess what the lag issues are still fixed. The app is called galaxy locker here is the link and it works like a charm.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy

I wonder if part of the reason for turning it off was for the multiuser cause they needed to make the lock screen more like AOSP?

I thought I was going insane when I turned my tablet on and the watercolor effect was gone. I am hoping they bring it back or at least replace it with something better-looking than the current Tab 3 lock screen.

Do you guys have a slight delay when you press the home button on the note until it lights up to the lockscreen? Mine is smooth are silk once I pass the lock screen but I still have that slightly delay

My has about a 1 second delay. That is a little improved with the last update. I'm all for them taking out the eye candy like that lockscreen effect and focusing on the basic speed and quality of the apps.

Every samsung device I've ever used has this home button delay. Even though the hardware has gotten exponentially faster and the OS has become more and more optimized. At this point it's not a delay anymore, it's a feature.

Lol.. ok cool I was just checking. It's not a big deal. Once you're in I'd say it's definitely snappier since third update

I've got it back, guess you didn't read the link i posted, which is an app thats downloadable from the play store. Im not rooting this yet. I like the samsung bloat.

[Q] Did i get a lemon.

So i am about 3 weeks into my LG G2 i went custom AOSP from the very start. never even touched stock. I had weird graphical glitches which i chalked up to the AOSP stuff. I also had weird touch screen issues. like double clicks when i was dragging my finger. I also had odd shaking. like if i would drag from one screen to the next and stop in the middle instead of the panes being static they would shake way way worse then i have even seen on a phone. after about 3 weeks it got to much. i went back to stock to see how it felt. i have the same graphics issues. and i think some of the same touch screen issues. Although i didn't stay long enough to really test, but the graphical glitches are there. I can reproduce anytime i want on AOSP or Stock.
Did i get a lemon?
I can post a video if anyone wants to see any of the symptoms.

What are the graphics and touch screen issues? Care to elaborate? I've had 3 g2s in about 2 weeks and have experienced the high pitched buzzing in the ear piece when making a call and the touch screen issues when the phone is used playing video or games after 45 minutes or so the touchscreen becomes erratic and the scrolling goes crazy. There's a couple videos on here showing the touchscreen issues when writing in a quick memo (looks like an EKG). Maybe a little more info on your part will give us a better idea on your problems though.

Why did you wait 3 weeks before you came to the conclusion you have a lemon? And with all those issues why you even asking that stupid question?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

Sounds like 4.4 issues with the graphical stuff. Its common because we don't have a proper port yet.
I suggest you ALWAYS use your phone stock for a week or else you have no idea if its software or hardware when things go wrong.
I suggest you flash back to stock and waiting it out and see for yourself.

The touch screen issues are present in all G2s, it's whether or not a user "triggers" it that's the question. I've seen it in both AOSP and stock. So your touch screen is "fine." The other issues are not normal though.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk

To conclude if anything is normal or no...you need to have your phone completely stock...What player911 said is the right thing to do.

So i swung by verizon and sure enough the demo model showed no signs of what my phone is doing...
btw i did say i went back to stock to test it and both the graphic issues and the touch screen issues have been present. I cant always reproduce the touch issues but the graphic glitches is some sore of faulty unit. I will try to get the to replace it on monday.

This is not true! I have the Verizon variant and I have no issues with the tough screen at all...ever?? In fact, for whatever reason (maybe because Verizon is more closed/careful/anal/controlling) I read of more issues with other carriers than I do with Verizon. So either it's Verizon, or maybe Verizon's version got a better batch of hardware while the others got a bad batch??? :crying:

Return it and get a new one. If you were at the store, I would have already done this. Its under warranty regardless.
Touchscreen is very responsive on mine. Maybe too sensitive. Sometimes I don't even feel my fingers touching the screen.

Keyboard Lag

So I got my OP2 The other day and have been loving it but only problem is the keyboard has slight lag and its starting to drive me insane. I really didnt want to flash CM12 until the fingerprint sensor is working. Has anyone else noticed this or fixed it?

What keyboard are you using? I haven't noticed anything crazy with SwiftKey, but I'm not a very fast typer on the phone

I don't know if it's the keyboard lag that you are experiencing or the actual overall sluggishness that the OPT has. Coming from the OPO this phone feels laggy by a few ms.

I came from a Z3 C and overall the phone feels sluggish / unresponsive. Kind of like a Samsung phone.

Definitely seems to be the OS all over; sluggish between apps, camera lag is massive taking photos. Don't get ghost touches that seemed predominant in the old issue with one plus 1 though. Seems updates are suppose to address these issues and have asked directly in a support ticket as my finger scanner suddenly doesn't work after being off for some time :/

Disable vibration in Google keyboard. Long press on the comma button, go to settings, preferences, and uncheck vibrate. Helps a lot.
