[Q] Optimus 4x Hardware Crash - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello guys,
A bit of a random one here...
A few weeks ago I dropped my precious Optimus 4X. Everything appears to be fine (cosmetically)
Anyway the problem occurs when I put slight pressure on the phone. This could be from slight pressure of being in my pocket or when I squeeze the device (that's right - squeezing my phone crashes it!) Would anyone know what the problem could be? - or what I could do in order to fix this issue?
I find it quite frustrating and would like to use the device until word of a nexus 6.
Thank you all!

Sad, mate... but I think you should take your phone to technical support.

That's not an option. Its out of warranty, and I don't want to pay the fees that LG will charge. Luckily for them LG is my vendor of choice.
If anyone has the slightest clue on how to fix this, please do let me know. (The cheapest fix will be the most appropriate for me)
Thank you!

hi
just guessing as I'm no technician, but as you tried it with different roms I suspect you answered yourself: might be a hardware issue
if it also didn't work on stock rom it might be a good idea to contact SE service, hope you are still in warrranty period...

Ed. maybe it's worth trying wifimonster, haven't used it myself but it's got a good rep and seems to offer quite a few configuration options

Hello!
I've already try wifimonster and all the same like in communication manager, crash...
I have got warranty, or I dont know. I've got 1+1 year,and this is the second. I don't know what is the difference between them.

hi
shame wifi monster would have been easier...
I would expect the following: first year warranty provided by (responsibility of) reseller (provider), second year by producer
easy to confirm when contacting your reseller shop (if you got it there with a contract)

The only thing it will do is flash AT&T logo.... can i get it fixed. or i will have to put it for sale as parts ? thanks hope someone can give me a good advice and help me repair it ...

It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.
Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.
reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

Hi,
your answer is here!. Seems to be a hardware short circuit.
maybe putting your open device close to a warm source to dry it will give you 15.031969% to save it...
Else, I fear you need Samsung service..
I don't mean to be rude but why did you open a thread here on XDA about this?
This site is for mobile phone/tablet development.
You have bought a faulty device, it happens.
You need to take it back for a replacement, simple.
I hope you get it sorted! It's never nice buying something and it not working properly.

i believe it got something to do with calibration or something related to software
as phone was flashed earlier and it might be something to do with flashing
i was thinking of writing NV calibration data from another phone to see if that may help, but thought of getting more ideas first.
WBR
Oh right, fair enough then. I thought it was brand new and you'd just taken it out of the box.

as good as new, only a few days used, sending it back would be costly
so i thought to get some ideas if it could be calibration data or something, as i have already flashed it but it didn't yield any result..

Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing
@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.
3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?
Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it
Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain

Fluid in screen transitions

Hi,
Yesterday I get my LG G Watch R! But I'm not happy with that...
I'm testing it and when I open Wear mini launcher the transition animation to open the launcher screen is not going fluid! Is like the watch have lag...
Somebody feel that in their smartwatch?
I will try to update video this night!
Thank you all!

That is the normal operation in this moment.
Maybe future implementations will correct that.
In case you will use watchmaker for example, that lag is 3x longer ... it's like the time will freeze for a while .

Thank you ro_explorer for the fast reply!
I was talking with LG support and told me that is not normal! That a fail of watch so must be replaced!
sadly, it is normal - but hopefully not for long
you can try to switch to one of the Android Wear default faces (not the LG ones, try Simple)
there the delay should be virtually nonexistend
and have a look at this - its really bad on watchmaker, but i like the app so much that I'm putting up with it

This can be adjusted to be made a little better by changing the transition speed, I am working on a mod right now to attempt to fix this.

there are 4 users reporting that the lag is a known software-related problem
if you don't want to believe us, just send you watch in for repair and be done with it - and please report back when you get the exact same behaviour on your new model

Ok 2k4ever I will report back!
But think about it, If I show a video about the problem to LG and they told me that is a hardware problem... and only saw a little number of users with that problem, I could think that the problem is hardware....
Then u mean that everybody have the last software version and only 4 users report that the lag is a known software? Something is wrong here....
I get this lag too with a custom whatchmaker whatchface.
I have finals all next week so I am very busy with that. I already know what file i need to change and how to change it. I went digging in the moto 360 forums and they have the commands there. I will get back to this after my exams.
Sent from my Nexus 7. Pardon crap English.
Thanks for the good news Tony. Hopefully it ends up working out.

I must say that today I recieve other LG G Watch R and this work really good!
Don't have lag like in the first watch
So if u have lag problems like video, share it with LG and then change ur watch for another one
Thank you all for the support!
About mini launcer...after install apps sometimes it become lagger...factory restart watch and often the problem will be solved (tryed now and for me works)
About facemaker dont know (i use facer).
Alex
I have the impression that any non-standard thingy creats trouble. If I charge overnight with a custom watchface, I have to reboot to get cards. With a standard face, never any problems. Weird...
