got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos
Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.
i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange
To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?
Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.
is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..
try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

it seems a problem with the 'internet' browser, hopefully a software issue.uw

I was half tempted to get the One x because I thought they learned from the Sensation but guess not. This is the real problem of having your own skin, you break a perfectly good OS.

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...
Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.
I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.

Every first time (locking phone to redo it also happens) that I put in my pattern unlock, it always stop by itself before I'm done putting in the pattern. I am rooted but i'm not using a custom rom.
This could be a tmobile problem but my friend and an ex said they text me a couple of times before but I never received any text messages. I'm using the stock messaging app. This happened yesterday and I still never seen the texts. This is probably happening with sent texts but I'm not sure. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia if anyone else is having similar problems in the area.
I also have a calling problem where I'd call someone sometimes and it says they pick up but they really didn't and I don't hear anything. I think it's a problem with wifi being on but this also happened on my old side kick phone '08 model before i upgraded to this phone which doesn't have wifi.
bump. no one?
I just exchanged my phone yesterday and it's still having the same problems.
Bump again.. I reset my phone and the problems (mainly the pattern and unsure of other problems) eventually comes back.
No one is having this problem? Can anyone even try to reproduce the problem So I know that my tmobile place doesn't have a bunch of defects. I mean if I wait a Second or two before entering the pattern then it would work.
I also notice that there is maybe a screen/touch issue at the bottom right corner of the phone. I could see the issue with multi touch vis test in the play store.
I sometime have a problem with air view writing by itself and having the s note freeze up.
Wait till the lakers game is done homie!

I also noticed a problem with calls not being able to be picked up. I'll have to constantly slide the accept button before it answers.
I think there's also a problem with calls being dropped on wifi.
Airview sometimes draw by itself.
Bump again.. there's also a problem where screen is timing out too quickly. Even when I changed it to 30 seconds, it still times out at 15.
The battery also dies pretty quickly with occasional texting using the stock app. It goes from 100% at 8am to 68% by 2pm. People also have a problem hearing me when they call me or I call them and I'm on speaker phone. Even when I put my mouth closer to the mic they still can't hear me
Sounds like a wifi calling issue, it really doesn't work well for me, even on my old HTC Sensation I experienced the same exact thing. Wifi calling is enabled by default check in your settings menu and disabe it. As far asyour battery issues are concerned it sounds like there is something running in the backround draining your battery. Check to see if your phone is sleeping when it should be. Check all of your settings because it sounds like something is draining your battery. If you try all of this and still have a problem, go exchange it, perhaps you have a faulty unit. I hope this helps. The only time I have had the issues with calls as you've described it was because of wifi calling..

I don't use pattern unlock so I cannot confirm that issue. Battery life for me is outstanding, I did have an issue with it on the first day of use but it was an app causing it to be awake constantly. I uninstalled the app and my battery life is incredible 6+ hours of screen and calls and it still lasts forever. I am not aware of any missed texts. Wifi calling is just awful so I don't use it and I have no problem making or receiving calls and texts even when I have a week signal. Compared yo my Sensation this is a huge upgrade and I am not having any issues.

Is anyone having a problem where the screen wouldn't time out when you put it next to your ear while you're on a phone call?
bump again..
I just got my phone exchanged through the mail and it's still having the same issues.
Also there are these weird markings/dots on the inside of my screen. Maybe it's a lcd bleed/screen issue. It appeared in my past couple of exchanged devices. It wouldn't go away and I usually see it more clearer when I'm using the phone at night or on certain websites/games/etc that has the right lighting for it.
Once again. Bump..

If you lower the screen brightness all the way down and open the stock internet to Google, and tap the search bar to pop the keyboard up, you'll see a slight flicker. So far on every display s4 at the store has the same problem. Anyone have an idea if this is software or hardware related?

Are you talking about the smearing issue when the phone is dim all the way and you have white text on black background. Text turns hazy purple when u scroll. If so this is a known issue that's been reported here already.

I've noticed flickering on super white backgrounds. It's hard to see and it's got to be the right lighting and high brightness. IMO if you need to go through a process to see a slight flicker, blobs, etc., it's not really a concern. I'm assuming it's software related.. Same with the text blur.

Go in any app with the keyboard popped up and go into the Sun directly hitting the screen and you will see your screen flickering endlessly no matter what app your in

Hi, just got an HTC One m8 2 weeks back.
I would like to know whether it's possible for me to schedule movie downloads to occur at midnight etc. I get peak and off peak data so trying to make use of the off peak data without having to stay up till 1am. I tried some apps, like IFTTT but no dice.
Anyone have any workaround?
Also, how do I know whether my camera is suffering from the scratched lens issue? I can't seem to tell.

Ishaq

Try a download manager app, such as Advanced Download Manager. I think ADM (and others) has this feature.

If you can't tell, you probably don't have an issue. Once the coating on the lens starts to get scratched (its just the coating coming off, not the glass being scratched), you can actually see the scratches if you look closely at the lens. But more importantly, your photos will start to look cloudy or hazy, a lot like a fingerprint smudge on the lens. And this will increase gradually as the issue gets worse.
Thanks for the response. I downloaded ADM and it works.
I can see some really fine scratches on the lens, almost like dots. However, no noticeable haze in the images.
One more issue. Do you also sometimes suffer from keyboard errors. Sometimes, occasionally I'll open a field to type and instead of the keyboard coming up, it's just a black bar. However, this black bar still reads my keyboard inputs. It's like a glitch in the OS.

If the coating is starting to scratch, it will probably get worse over time until it affects your photos. But no need to worry about it until that happens.

I've heard a couple complaints like that, but I haven't experienced it myself.
Is the phone stock or modded (unlocked bootloader, root, etc.)?
Yeah, I'm completely stock. Native keyboard, no launchers.
It's happened like 5 times in ten days. Usually sorts itself out by exiting whatever application I'm using.

For a stock phone, you can try a factory reset or to update by OTA (if one is available). Not much else you can do on stock.
You can search around to see if this a common issue on your OS software version (and if there are any other possible fixes). But I don't think so. I've seen maybe one other person mention it, but it doesn't seem like a common problem.
I've been able to replicate this issue on my G4 (815T Australian model) on a daily basis, just on the instagram app though.
I recorded a video of it. Slowmo part shows the issue
https://goo.gl/photos/F823e125PQckCPLp6
The screen seems confused and it just scrolls the other way even if my thumb wasn't touching the screen.
Factory data reset did not fix anything.
Are you able to replicate this LG G4 owners?
I don't use Instagram, so can't help with that app, sorry.
But if you go into Developer Options, and turn on "Show touch data", it might help add some more info to the discussion. It will show a trace on the screen of what the phone's touchscreen interpreted from your last tap/swipe.
It would presumably show a swipe up, and then back down, when you're getting these ghost touches that change the scroll direction. But perhaps it could also help show if swipes are interpreted the same way in other apps. It might help you learn a little more about what the phone is seeing, at least.
Thanks for the video and everything but why a new thread? Plenty of videos on the main thread.
Is another thread really necessary?

Might be, because this only happens with IG. I've got the exact same problem, only with IG and its very annoying.

You can try to change the touch feedback time from short to medium under settings/accessibility/motor & cogination. This will reduce the touch feedback time. Give it a try, and see if it gets better.

Well this problem is only related to the LG G4 and IG for me...I don't have any other touchscreen problems with this phone. So for me I guess this is not hardware related. During the day I just had 2 small "ghost touches", way better than before. Will see how it goes the next few days...
Edit :
after a view days, it looks like it didn't solve this issue. Today I notice the ghost touches were there again in IG
Force GPU rendening under Developer options somewhat helped.
The new v10f on my Australian G4 didn't fix the issue as well.
Any updates on this? I had same issue. N this is a replacement unit after 2.5 weeks of waiting
Just day one and this ghost touch come up.
I also have this problem
Did you solve the problem?
I am facing similar issue.between...i am not using ig.
I've had this issue as well (not just IG) and sent the phone back for servicing. It was sent back to me with a report showing that they'd done a few things but the problem is still there. I'd been thinking I'd send it back in once more and ask them to have another look. I'm getting ghost touches everywhere and quite a bit, it's very annoying.
Someone mentioned there was another, large thread about this issue but I can't seem to find it, can anyone point me to it?
Hi, I posted this in a new thread yesterday as I couldn't find anything. Never thought to search for 'ghost taps' duh.
Every now and then when just doing normal things on the my phone it totally freaks out and all by it self it suddenly starts to tap random parts of the desktop, slides the pages, opens apps, closes apps, goes into calculator and a bunch of buttons are pressed randomly. It's almost like someone has hacked my phone and is trolling me by just tapping randomly on the phone.
Just today when looking at Facebook it closed the app, scrolled down notifications, data was turned off and wifi turned on.
I thought it might have been my screeen protector, bit of moisture in it or something. Took that off and still does it. Took out the battery for a minute and still does it.
It happened a few months ago then nothing for ages and now it's started again this weekend.
Thought it might have been only when connected to data but has now done it when offline.
Any one got a solution? Does a custom rom fix?

I have the same problem. it's disappointing. i tried changing to different ones or even stick to the originals (like people edge) that they are so proud to show off. but it sucks. it's so laggy and slow, it ruins the experience and the idea. so unoptimized.
i love using it, but the laggy experince gets on my nerves
