Hello,
So I am aware of the Lag with the vibrant being a known issue. However, I have an interesting quandary. I own two of these, one for my wife and one for myself. I already had to replace mine for poor radio performance, now the replacement has a whole new set of problems. The display is saturated in contrast by comparison to my wifes original. and the biggest problem is a lag when the device is locked. As we all know, you hit the power button and the swipe-to-unlock screen populates. On my wifes this transition is instantaneous. For mine, I hit the power button and only occasionally will it come on instantly. Most cases, it takes a second or longer before the unlock screen ever populates. So what's going on here? Do these things just suffer high fail ratio?
Just high complainers I have 0 issues....
This would be easily dismissed as a guised complaint if I didn't have two devices of the same model behaving differently. While one works great, I've gone through two. One had a radio that would drop inexplicably and now one that is extremely lagged and has a noticeable contrast saturation in the display.
Ha. There is a VERY slight delay when waking the device. Boo-hoo.
A legitimate problem and this is the reaction?
If it takes a full second to unlock one phone and near instant on everyone else's, maybe there really is a problem with it?
I don't have this problem on mine, but I do hope you're able to find a solution to your problem.
I've noticed this happening to mine as well and it's kind of bothered me since the beginning. For being a 1ghz "super-phone" I'd expect it to be a little more responsive when performing the simple task of unlocking it. I've also noticed that once the screen starts to light up, it does so a little choppy. It doesn't smoothly transition from off to on. When I press the the power button there's about a 1 sec delay, then the screen goes from off to half lit to fully lit.
Does this happen to anybody else?
I had the same problem, until I did the "Stalling fix." Hasn't happened since.
I've seen this once or five times on my Vibrant, too. But my G1 would wake slowly on occasion too.

I've noticed if some kind of sync was occurring as I powered on my g1 or even the vibrant (before the stalling fix), it caused a slowdown. Network traffic was just eating up some resources and it was made a more pronounced with the way Samsung sliced the memory on this phone and the data it was syncing was on the slower memory (stalling). Usually, I'd see the icon lit up in the bar at the top. I'd go back and off/on it a few times and it would be fine. Of course, the sync would have been over with by then. But just as Bahnburner said, it pretty much went away after moving data to faster bit switchers.

That's the G1, though. My mytouch was pretty responsive, even after I loaded cyanogenmod 5 and 6. I never had this problem with that phone.
Another example of my screen unlocking lag issues:
Just now, as I was typing this, my phone completely froze when I tried to wake it up. I pressed the power button and the screen came on, but the phone became completely unresponsive. I waited for about 20 seconds until I lost patience and removed the battery to reboot it. This was the first time it happened since I got it on Thursday, but it still has me a little worried.
Even after a fresh reboot I get the 1 second screen wake up lag, and then a laggy transition from off to lit screen.
This is really the only issue I'm having with the phone. I don't experience lag anywhere else. I'm wondering if this is normal with other users or if I should get it swapped out.
its such a small delay, i didnt think it was a big deal :/
I have no lag waking it up whatsoever. I did have freezing when killing certain System apps. I stopped doing that and everything has been fine save for the occasional pause.
Try down loading no lock app. It will unlock your phone with one push of the power button taking away the need to swipe the phone.

Hi all.
I'm having these days a really weird issue with my G2. It was working fine while I was using 20G update, but after updating to 20H I have an odd issue with my screen. I updated via OTA (first time I do in that way) and it was successful, no errors or problems there. After one or two days I started to have problems with my screen, it was freezing sometimes while I was using an app. In the beginning happened like one per day or two for a few seconds, but now I'm getting annoyed since is like that almost every time I need to use an app.
The problem is that I don't think is a hardware problem like many others had, seems that is a software issue, so that's why I first decided to do a factory reset. Nothing changed, so after that I decided to flash a downloaded .kdz from different zones (20D, 20G, 20H from North of Europe and 20G, 20G from Open Europe). I still have the issue.
I recorded a video about my problem that you can watch here: youtu.be/5rYQiMQtpDg
As you can see, while the app freezes I still can use the sliding bar and bottom side buttons (back, home, menu) and I can open others apps that in a few seconds will freeze too. Sometimes when freeze appears there is a second issue with the screen or touch. Look in the video when I'm drawing lines, you'll see that there is a column in the left side that isn't working (sometimes seems that when I'm drawing in the rest of the screens, some lines or dots appear next to the frame). By the way, my screen don't have any dead zones. When my left column isn't working I still can slide down the upper slider.
Another thing that I saw is not working like should do is the brightness. Every time I switch on my phone is like when I bought it, with 100% brightness that I never use. Seems that my brightness configuration isn't saving or something.
I'm afraid of sending it to repair since is something that is only happening sometimes. I'm sure that they'll install everything and send me back the phone again, saying that they don't see any problem.
Any idea of what's the problem with my G2 or what can I do?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my text. English is not my main language
Hi all,
I have a black S7 Edge International version (Dual Sim version). The phone as a whole has been working great. I have been having certain issues though, they don't happen very often. So I'm not sure if its related to certain apps I have or if it's an issue with the phone.
Each issue happened on a separate day.
First problem: The phone froze when I was editing a photo on Adobe Lightroom. This was the first time I was using the app, so I launched after installing it. I tweaked a photo and noticed the phone lagging. They it froze, and I couldn't do anything on the screen. Nothing worked until I did a hard reset. Afterwards, the problem didn't occur again, although I haven't tried Lightroom since, so maybe I should, to see if the problem is with the app. Does this happen often with lightroom? Or could this be a phone issue?
Second Problem: On another day I had my phone randomly start vibrating, like it was receiving a call. I had just made three calls to my wife, and thought she was calling back. However, there was no call notification, and nothing on the drop down menu. There was also no ringtone. The phone kept vibrating, and wouldn't stop. I pressed the power button and reset, then the problem stopped.
Final problem: Today, I've been using the phone fine. However I was playing angry birds and then pressed the home button, so the game was still on it's memory, and being multitasked. I used the phone again a few times, then I noticed on the bottom that the game launcher circle (was on the bottom of my homescreen), even though the game was not open (still in the multitask window - I assumed) I tried to click the multitask window, and the button lit up, but nothing happened. The multitask window had frozen. Again it required a restart, and now it's working.
Given that I'm having these three issues (none have repeated themselves though), is this just the phone needing an OTA update, early phone bugs, specific 3rd party app issues, or is it a more serious problem?
Should I take the phone to Samsung and ask for a replacement, or should I wait it out?
Would love some advice from people, and would also like to hear if you've had similar problems.
Current firmware I'm on: G935FXXU1APB6
Thanks!
Does anyone have any feedback on this? Thanks!
I have the first problem on my phone.
But I didn't use adobe lightroom
and I've seen many user reported this problem in many different threads. it seen a known issue.
Thanks for that stone... Hopefully it's a bug... Would love to hear if anyone thinks that it requires a replacement... Also, i just found a dead pixel on the top corner of my phone... it's completely black...
Is that grounds for replacing the phone, or is samsung wishy washy about the whole thing?
I have the second problem; sudden vibrations with no reason, no app pending or anything else; I start to think it is associated with the Smart Alarm being activated (in Advanced settings).....
Anyway, really a bug, in fact the Smart Alarm and Smart Stay are known for having made other problems previously, but seems they didn't correct all the bugs.....

If there's a dead pixel I would return it.... There has been alot of people talking about freezing and rebooting... I've experienced too.... Most likely a software issue.... When I got the S6 last year my phone would reboot 3-5 times a day until a software update came out.... The continuous vibration I haven't heard anyone talk about... But if your still in you grace period I would get another phone for the pixels alone... Too nice and new to have to deal with that
Galaxy S7 edge
Hey, I have the same phone with the same firmware. I experienced the freezing right after I opened the camera from the lock-screen, it lasted for a few minutes and then went away. I'm waiting till Sunday to get the OTA and if I don't, I'm just going to update using Odin, considering how the firmware for the SM-G935FD and SM-G935F is the same.
Sounds good, thanks for the advice guys... I went to Samsung, and they said they would replace the phone for the dead pixel... Will take a week to arrive, but I'm just glad it's getting replaced...
I would return it immediately while it is within your return period.

Thanks Yerevan... I wanted to wait to see if I'd get an OTA update... Do you have the changelog for this firmware? What are the updates/improvements. THanks!
i mostly had camera freezes from lock screen and random reboots.... hopefully a software update will fix it
Occasionally my phone will just go crazy, screen will get all jittery,touching on a menu doesn't work ,it mainly happens on noughat stock and custom ROMs.,random apps popping up.any experience anything like that?a simple reboot fixes the problem.

It's an inherent issue with some displays present on the Moto G4. It most often happens when you charge your phone. Too much current builds into the frame of the display and you get weird ghost and jitter touches.
No way around it unless you send it in, and even then it may be only a temporary fix.
I also face this issue. Unable to find solid solution for this. Finally i decied to go for custom rom like RR and Invicta. This still comes occasionally(when Heats too much during phone charging)

On my phone this happens while not charging. Seems to happen about one out of every 3 times the phone is unlocked using the fingerprint sensor. Locking the screen and unlocking via a pin seems to be a reliable way of getting past the issue. Though occasionally it happens on the pin entry screen before it the pin has been entered. Needless to say, it IS annoying.
Same problem which is fixed.
I had this problem with the factory firmware too, intermittent bouts of the phone going crazy with phantom touches on my Moto G4. I sent it to Motorola/Lenovo after the supplier gave me their phone number and they did find the problem and fix it. Now I can play graphic intensive games even during fast charge and the phone is awesome for once. : )
Please note they will fix it for free if in warranty and bootloader not yet modified.
Pressing power button to turn off the display and then pressing power button again to turn the display back on will provide temporary relief from jittery screen. I noticed that the jittery screen has twice subsided over time but came back twice immediately after OS upgrade so blaming the problem on charging, or hardware doesn't seem accurate.
Updated 5/20/2018
As a last ditch effort prior to buying a replacement phone I deleted all apps I installed, reset phone and reinstalled fresh copies of most if the apps I needed.
I don't recall every thing I did but my focus was to delete everything I could and then reset phone back to factory state. After reinstalling, my jittery problem went away and has not returned. Your millage may very, so no promises. Phil
. I have touch screen issue(ghost touch) but this time not screen burn issue.. Now there is in winter.. I have checked battery temperature with ex kernel manager.

Without going service center And fix battery battery temperature to 25 degree.?
phone going crazy
Hi,
I am having the same exact problem. I have observed that Google Assistant is intruding because each time this happens, Google Assistant is trying to run. Reboot is a temporary fix but the problem persists. I have removed most of the third party apps just to see if anything changes but it did not work.
This is not something that was happening from the start. I have the phone for about 2 months put the problem only started a couple weeks ago. I would love to hear if there is a solution and what. Thanks
Sadly, but compared to the issues visible indoors, in outdoors this Lenovo gift turns complete crap:
youtu.be/dTcHclVEfCg
"Lenovo Moto Z2 Force touchscreen gets completely unusable when getting outdoors! The video is made at about 0 degrees Celsius. So it takes about 30 sec from getting MotoZ2 Frc to sleep with pwr btn (and wakeing up back) to see the touchscreen goes crazy. At -10C, it takes ~5 sec. At +15-20C, after several min it becomes unresponsive and have to use pwr button to recover.
Lenovo, what you have done to Motorola ?!!"
Can it be fixed somehow with changing the upper protective part? I have seen comments that the touchscreen can stop working completely, if peel off the cover part..
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbHtJLQEU7o
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
