So a couple things but my main issues is maps. I haven't found anyone with this problem yet. When driving the navigstion marker is constantly pausing. Maps is not freezing however. The marker just stops and stays stopped for like 5 seconds then catches up and tracks me for 1 second or 2 then stops again.
Another issue I've noticed as I have called for a replacement(I actually have had to call twice and have three lg g5's in front of me) is that when I got my first replacement the screen seemed kind of dull compared to my original. When I put the two next to each other i realized that it wasn't that it was dull but a bit yellowish. My original reason for wanting the phone replaced was because of maps, the button to eject the module was not flush and stuck out at an angle and the module piece itself was offset. This phones button and module piece were fine and so I called again and they sent out another one. This thrid phones screen has the same issues as well as the original issues from my first phone. I spent an hour making sure all the settings were the same and even ruined my screen protector by taking it off to make sure all phones were under similair conditions. I'm now not sure what to do. Should i call them up and ask them to send out a fourth one? This is becoming insane.
Would you have noticed the yellow tint if you did not have another sitting next to you? I noticed my battery eject button looked a little crooked when I read your post and pushed on it a bit and now it is flush.

M8, internet is filled with people having issues with G5. Before you say S7 fanboy i have mine pre-ordered already.
All these issues are making me want to cancel my order and wait for something else. I really want to give LG the benefit of the doubt but everytime i open up a webpage regarding G5, there is always someone having an issues of some sort.
I am beginning to think that all this QC issues are actually true and LG really dropped the ball with G5.
As for you question, Return it !! All these faulty units are being floated between customers without them being sent back to LG and thats why you will never get a perfect unit. Wait for something like Nexus 7 or HTC/sony heck even Mi5 Pro if you can get ur hands on one.

Probably not. However, after seeing it I can tell without comparing it to another device. I had my friend come in and randomly show me one of the devices at a time and everytime I could pick out the yellowed ones. They also don't get as bright, it's not significant however. I feel that you wouldn't notice it until you see somone else's device. Then after that it will be all you can see. In the morning I'm going to test them to see if they also have the screen bloom and backlight bleed. If so then that just might be another side effect of the bad screens.
Ray,
I honestly wouldn't worry. The only place I see these problems being dicussed is here and it's not even a flood of people. It's pretty minor conpared to how many people probably have these devices in hand already. I still love this phone despite these problems. In fact, it's so far my favorite phone I've had in a while.

I didn't even know it existed until I was messing around with my camera in the dark last night and could see it in the picture. Since then I have come across topics talking about the problem, and I almost feel like more phones have it than don't have it. I am getting tired of exchanging these phones. I started with a skyrocket then exchanged it for another skyrocket after the screen got really scratched up after about 10 hours of owning it and barely even touching it. I then exchanged the second skyrocket for the sg2 because it was $100 cheaper and I read that the sg2 is actually a more powerful phone. I was extremely happy with my choice until I noticed the the screen on my phone appeared to not be set properly. The bottom portion of the screen was about flush with the bezel while the top was recessed into the bezel. This phone was perfect until I came across the spotting issue. This is honestly something I could live with since I will rarely be in a situation where I will see it, but it is annoying that samsung can't get their QC straight. The thought crossed my mind to just get my money back and hope that the nexus comes out.

Return it directly to Samsung if you are having that much of a problem, I have never encountered anyone directly who has had the same problem but you do have some recourse to c.y.a.
I'd take it back to the store you got it at, and if they aren't willing to do something you should be able to send it to Samsung to get it repaired/replaced.
Good luck!

Never seen any of the issue you speak of, and sold tons of these phones. Have one myself, and again, never seen these issues. No offence, but sounds like your either extremely OCD, or lying to make Samsung look bad.
I had that issue on both phone the second was even worse a thick transparent black line was accros and down the screen. It was worse when I watch Netflix or movies at night. I ended going to Device support center and they order me a new one. This current one has a small blob on the top left but is minimal
So I just leave it.

Unfortunately my OCD kicked in and I returned my first EVO LTE as it had peace of dust under the screen and slight light leakage at the bottom. Other than that my screen never had any flex or ripple issues and I am regretting that I took it in for an exchange!! My 1st exchange unit had a pixel that was stuck in the on position and had seriously bad LCD ripple effect. Took that back to a different Best Buy and the second exchange also has this same LCD ripple effect. It is most noticeable on black screens if you lightly press around the sides like you are scrolling up and down a web page. It can also be scene on the home screen. There are several videos of a One X having this issue. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DmLNSiNT24
My question is, how many people have this issue? I am crossing my finger and hoping I can get a unit again that doesn't as I truely am pleased with the other aspects of this phone and can deal with the other small little hickups of a new product launch.
I have none of this.
my OG Evo had this after I replaced the digitizer. i assumed i did something wrong since the one before it did not. no issues on my lte
Limited sample of responses so far, but seems to be looking more positive than I expected it to be!
Maybe I have a better chance of my next replacement not having this issue than I thought! I hope it was just a bad batch for this area and the next shipment will be better!
Had same ripple issues
Hi..well I got my evo lte on a pre order. I ve had all the evos thru the last couple years and the LTE is a very good phone. I noticed the exact same thing,when I would gently push or tap on the screen it would have clothes of light that we're very bad,and on black screens that was even worse. I called sprint and they told me to go to a store to exchange it. I went to the store and the manager was awesome we sat down and he brought out 5 brand new EVO LTE s for us to try. At his amazement they all were as bad if not worse then mine on the ripple effect. I have a galaxy 2 touch and when we pushed on that screen no matter how hard it showed no signs of light bleeding or rippling at all. He didn't know what to tell me but did they say the screen on the htc should not do that at all and it might be a bad batch. To me it seemd the glass on the LCD screen didn't bond well with the glue they used,and when you pushed or tapped it would go down into the LCD screen. I know when you push directly on a LCD tv,computer screen it will give you the same similar effect. I called sprint and told them I was returning the phone and the lady in the return department told me she has had a few calls about people wanting to return the phone because of this issue. I really like the LTE,but couldn't put up with the screen issues. I am going to wait till the galaxy 3 comes out and also by then check out the EVO lte again to see if the problem has been fixed.
Sigh first off mine does this but I have to apply more force then is needed for the phone to register the touch. Second off WHY are you pushing with any kind of pressure to even do that? Now if you're just touching the LCD and it is doing this I understand. Also even in the vid it looks like more force is being applied as needed but not as much as I have to apply? That being said if you think sgsiii will be better well it will cause it doesn't use a LCD lolol.
Edit I think this is to have gorilla glass 2 which is thinner so chances of this happening are going to be common I'd assum of you push down on the screens lol.

From my experience I am not applying any more pressure than I would use normally. That is the only reason I noticed it. I was typing in my numerical pass code on a black screen and saw the ripples. I then did further investigation. The video might not be the best reproduction of how you get the problem under normal use, but it does show what the problem looks like. My first phone I actually used more pressure on trying to figure out what the dust spot was and never had this issue occur so had no clue what I would run into with an exchange. This is a production issue on some LTE's and One X's. The below comment was posted in an article on the One X in April. I just think some phones are much more noticeable than others and who knows what this issue will turn into over the life of the phone.
Source: TechnoBuffalo
"Three separate models provided by HTC, and one by network Three, produced the issue, CNET UK said, meaning it may potentially be widespread. However, Daniel Hundt, creative director at One & Co., HTC’s design consultancy, said the company would never “let that ship.” Hundt added, “maybe this is not a shipping build,” referring to a unit CNET UK writer Natasha Lomas demonstrated the issue with.
TechnoBuffalo’s own Jon Rettinger and Todd Hasleton didn’t notice the issue when reviewing the One X, and chances are good the average user won’t either. The device really is one of the most beautiful phones out there. It also provided the best Android experience we’ve had yet, so this “screen flex flaw” issue shouldn’t deter folks from picking the device up. Still, we reached out to HTC for comment, and will update as soon as we hear back"

This is not something that will push me to an S3 though!
Ok well then that's a diff story and I'm wondering if it due to the glue not curing by the time it got to you... Or a lack of glue. Since the glue has apparently been a problem this time around for HTC lol. And glad to know you won't defect to the sgsiii. The one thing I don't understand is why Samsung uses the gn as a beta for their sgs line. Same screen on gn and sgsiii but its to be slightly better.(only cause they used the gn as a test)

Yep, glue on this current phone has the screen slowly getting white. Started out kind of yellow and now most of it is white with the bottom section still a little yellow. Going to give it till Friday to see if anything improves and if not I will test out the new shipment at Best Buy and try my hand at another exchange.
Update:
Went back to Best Buy and we opened up and looked at 5 different phones and EVERY single one of them had this issue. Some worse than others, but it was still apparent.
Not giving up though, trying a different store today to see how that works. I know my very first phone did NOT have this issue, just had a small speck of dust and slight light leakage..... I SOOO wish I had that phone back! Should have never returned it.
Update on my OCD - LCD Flex Issue:
5 Different Best Buys in two different states. Every phone I have tested had this issue to some extent (18 different phones tested). Some worse than others. I now believe my original phone had the issue, but was just less noticeable. Also, the screens normally do start out with more of a yellow tint from the glue. This mostly goes away after a few days of high brightness use, but sometimes a slight yellow band at the bottom remains. I think HTC doubled up the glue to help with the light leakage issues they are known for in the past.
Current phone has white balance closer to a pure white than a light yellow. (no yellow band at bottom either. This screen still has the flex issue but needs medium/medium heavy pressure to see on a black screen. I should never have to press that hard on anything to ever notice it. I am almost perfectly happy now, only bad thing is it does have one stuck pixel at the top of the screen (can't be seen on Pink, Red, Blue or Black, but is apparent on Yellow, Light Blue, Green, White and Gray). Would have never noticed it without the dead pixel test. I would rather have that than have it sensitive to the flex issue and any yellow tint to my white screen.
So, if you have not noticed the flex issue, then DO NOT look for it or try to reproduce it. You will most likely find it. Not a show stopper and should not be reproduced under normal use (Except for the few bad eggs that are really sensitive).
On my Verizon V10 the power button/fingerprint scanner seems pretty loose. There's a lot of play up and down, kind of like this video. Is this common? Is this a defect? Should I swap it out while I'm in my 14 days?
Mine is like this also probably so it allows for the finger to conform

Also feels loose on mine, but not too bad. Maybe intended as mentioned above.
Mine is not that loose. It has a little bit of play but I don't hink it's as much as what your video shows.
I have the black T-Mobile version.

Rolling the T-Mobile version here as well. Mine isn't as loose as it looks like yours is.
I'd go and get a replacement if you think it'll cause problems in the future.
F600S here... I would say loose, but the video is like twice mine.
Mine started out being a little wobbly but has gotten progressively worse over the last 2 days. I'd say now it's as wobbly and creaky as in the video. Gonna head to the Verizon store to check out the floor display and possibly swap it out.

Good idea. Better to go work it out now instead of letting it fester inside you.
My fingerprint reader wasn't working well at all, took 20 minutes to register fingerprint and unlocking was hit and miss. Took it back to store and tried the demo. The demo was perfect. They gave me a new phone and reader didn't work. (the sales guy couldn't get it to work either)
Then I realized the only thing different was the cheap Verizon case.
With the case off, and touching the metal edges while using fingerprint reader it unlocked 100 percent all the time.
If you have issues try without case. Must have something to do with conductivity. Happy camper now.
Mine has a little play in it as well. I wonder if it was the result of the jagoff TMO employee straining to turn the thing on with brute force before I asked him to stop then hand it to me. Oh boy, this feel lighter than my G3, you sure the battery is in it?
I'll forever blame that person now.
I swapped mine out, now a week later the button on the new unit is pretty wobbly too. I don't know how well LG designed/tested this thing and what kind of long-term durability we should expect out of it. I love the phone, so I'm not going to return it. Let's see if any wide-spread issues creep up.
same Problem
I have the same problem but its not that bad, it does not stay stuck onto one side but i did notice that it was very creaky and sounded like springy
Let me start by saying that i bought this phone only 3 days ago and these are the problems I've found with it.
1. The Second screen back light issue. This is a common problem among many lg v10 users as i have noticed, and i have that same problem too. to the extreme left of the second display it is brighter than the rest but only when it is off. I do not find this very annoying since i do not use the second display for reading my notifications while it is off. i mostly use it when the screen is on
2. In addition to that, the power button/ fingerprint scanner combo is completely garbage, as in the actual clicking. the button seems loose and when i click it, it squeaks. Also, when i run my finger up and down the power button it wobbles and has the same annoying squeak.
3. The charging port is loose. Not so much that the cable could slide out not in that axis, but it moves side to side freely and up and down. this worries me because i think that if i put too much pressure on the cable the port could break somehow.
4. The steel bezels are nice and stuff but the gaps, are uneven at the bottom left, the metal bezel is like bent and you can easily see through it. also at the back when you pop in the cover it seems like it doesn't align with the bezel. but that might just be my ocd lol
This phone in my opinion is great the best phone I've had. but its just that these things are what let me down. This phone is great but they absolutely ruined it with the quality control. note* my batch is from January 15, 2016
U probably just got a bad one. Sometimes, they make it thru the quality control somehow. I would return it until u get the one ur satisfied with.

Yeah I think I should but I'll wait until the weekend and decide if I should change it.
Probably a good idea. The flaws won't change. I have the lightbleed on the 2nd screen, but I never notice unless it's absolutely pitch black where I am and the screen is off. It doesn't annoy me tho.

I like the phone, maybe I love it. I have the same problem with the residual light on the left of second screen. (phone batch 26 Oct.2015) But, what I dislike the most:
1. The lack of a LED on the front.
2. The second screen, about my opinion is useless until then a developer create an xposed apk for a flashing light on second screen when I loose a call.
3. The fingerprint sensor is useless too for me.
4. Volume of the speaker is not too loud.
But, I like the size and the shape of the phone. It is a catch eyes everywhere I go. Benchmarks are very good for a Snapdragon 808. The screen is very fluid. And the most, the camera and his software are great; you believe or not I compared in photoshop pictures from an expensive Sony semiprofessional DSLR camera with photos made with my V10 and the overall quality are quite the same. It's the best phone I ever had (and I had a lot of top level androids)
I don't want to change it, even on a G5!

The light bleed is a common issue, but everything else sounds like your phone was assembled incorrectly, you should exchange it
Okay so today I was wondering if I could find any more nit picky problems and noticed that the back cover did not sit flush with the buttons and that if I pushed it down it became flushnot a big issue but it bugs me when I'm turning up the volume or turning on the phone

Well I exchanged a week ago and now that the time limit to return it is over, it cracked, not from a drop. It just cracked by itself there is a small hair line crack right by the metal rail and if is so annoying I paid good money and I take care of my phones well even if this was made to be tough. It cracked while I was in the car waiting for someone and then out of no where I heard a little pop and I thought nothing about it but after I finished watching the video I noticed it and got so scared I was like"did I drop it" but I did not idk how it managed to break I haven't dropped my phone yet and it just cracked out of nowhere
A number of reviewers have noted serious issues with the ips lcd panel on the lg g5, specifically backlight bleeding and "blooming" (when pressure from touching the screen causes distortion). Has anyone else out there with the g5 experienced these issues? If so, will you try to return and get a replacement?
Have noticed neither of these problems. I don't ever run 100% brightness on the screen, then switch to a black background and go into a bathroom and view the screen. And, I don't press the screen hard enough to cause distortion. If you don't do these things, you will never notice an issue.

There is clearly a problem more or less with some units ( bleeding light).
And you don't need to push hard to cause distortion.
I have a very strangle faint vertical line on the right side. Not visible with a black background but looks almost blue-ish on a white background. Like a line of a very light shadow.
I've seen this issue too, but not enough to bother me. I didn't notice it with my phone until i read this post.
I think it's due to the design and battery placement. I think there's a very small gap between the battery and the screen, where the LCD is practically floating and when you put pressure on the phone, the screen deflects a bit until it makes contact with the battery. Otherwise, the battery would get scratched up if that gap wasn't there.
Yes, I have a 2nd G5 and it has the same vertical shadow, except much fainter. I wouldn't of noticed this new one if it wasn't for my first phone being so prominent.
Haven't checked for light bleed, but no bloom issues with finger presses whatsoever. I pushed as hard as I was comfortable on several locations and nothing. Also no shadow that I can make out and I am very sensitive to that kind of thing, especially if I'm looking for it.

I tried swapping out the battery & bottom-chin-thing between my two phones and now my original first phone that had the worse 'shadow line' has improved a little bit. So there's definitely a fault between the contacts that's causing this effect.
It just seems like such a mixed bag in terms of quality control Kills me too, since I've been super stoked for this device since MWC

I'm not completely sure what you mean by fault between the contacts, but i think the issue is due to very small and minute variance in battery shape or size. This variance is probably causing different pressure points on the bottom of the LCD screen causing the shadow.

Personally, I wouldn't call it bad quality control, but rather mechanical and structural design limitations with the materials currently available for use. The thickness of the G5 is only 7.7mm (0.303 inches), that's pretty incredible with a phone that has a removable battery. By comparison the Galaxy s7, is 7.9mm (0.311 inches).
I maybe speaking out of line here, but from an engineering point of view, I am impressed with the design. I am a little worried about the battery swelling up crowning the screen, but i guess i can change the battery if that happens. I've had some battery well up a little in the past...
I've had the phone for 5 days and the more i use it, the more i like it. Believe me, i'm looking for every reason to hate the phone while i still have 8 days to return it if i wanted to. After that, i'm stuck with it for two years.
I don't have any technical knowledge with this stuff but just thought perhaps there's some kind of interference or feedback happening near those plugs next to the battery inside that's causing it like when you hold a magnet up to an old tv.
The battery of my last two phones (Droid Maxx & Galaxy S5) both swelled up which is why I went with the only phone that offers a replaceable battery
FYI, I have a small magnet attached to the battery for my wizgear phone holder in my car. No issues with the screen when I press hard. There is definitely an interference fit now sliding the battery out, but it's not causing any issues.

I'm pretty sure a swollen battery in a G5 will absolutely destroy the phone.

Ditto. The issues AP and others have reported, I've not seen at all. My only real complaint is not being able to do tap to focus reliably on the camera.
I have the led bleed issue, but now I also have image burn in as well. you can see a faint update popup box and notification bar on the screen.
I'm assuming the phone updated last night, and when it finished, it never turned the screen off and left me with what I'm hoping isn't a permanent reminder of the update pop up ghosted on my screen.
LCDs don't burn in. If you have anything it is image persistence. Leaving the screen off for a bit (like overnight) and should clear itself.

I'm noticing it's going away on it's own by keeping the screen off, so you're right it isn't a burn in. thank you for informing me. I'm still getting it replaced however due to the backlight bleed.
A coworker of mine was given a G5 as part of an advocacy program. Within 3 days of getting the phone before the actual launch day, half the screen was unresponsive. We turned it off and next thing we saw was half the screen was showing the home screen, and the other half was stuck on the LG startup. Seems the G5 is having the same issue that LG recalled the G4 for.

I agree, i wouldn't call tap to focus a 100%, but one of my favorite futures with the camera, is the manual focus. I think that for me that makes up for it. Do you know if the s7 has manual focus?
ive noticed this im on my 4th phone from att. I love the phone but i cant deal with it it bothers me too much. i will be returning it soon.
