I feel like I'm going crazy trying to find evidence that anyone else knows what I'm talking about.
When I first got my Pixel 6 in November, if I had auto-rotate turned off, and turned my screen, a little circular button would show in a corner and I could tap it to make the screen rotate. It was really handy, because I never turn auto-rotate on, so in the rare occasions when I did want to rotate my screen, I could make it rotate quickly.
I've noticed it's gone though. Is there a setting tied to this that maybe I turned off on accident? Was it removed entirely? Could it be gone because I'm rooted? Please let me know. Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind. This is apparently tied to the navigation bar, which I hid because I use third-party nav. Very sad :- (
my buddy got the same problem, dont know whats going on. works for me though

I'm just wondering if this is something that is supposed to happen. I remember installing an app when I first got the phone that was supposed to do just that, but I deleted it, and have also completely reset my phone since.
I don't recall it doing so initially, but that was also during week one and I have about the memory of the goldfish. If anyone could shed some light on this for me I would greatly appreciate it. It kinda makes pocket dialing a slight problem (I use my phone FAR too actively to set a pattern lock). Thanks.
Oops, meant for this to go in general. Side effect of posting right before bed.
Mods, please move this.
Mine does the exact same thing, did it right out of the box. It dosent do it for email just text messages. I have no clue if its a setting or not tho.
Yeah I think it's supposed to since there are no LED indicators =/
yah that's the default setting. i think you can change it but i'm not sure how. the one thing that bothers me is that texts make the screen turn on but messages from google talk don't.
Okay.
It's just frustrating.
I love the puzzle pieces, but I wish the actual lock screen would be better if there was more specific swipe requirements.
Maybe we can find someone who knows more about the system and figure out what's causing the light up and get it changed/removed.
It just doesn't get along very well with things like NoLED, it takes up to a minute for the app to initialize. and seems the delay is solely caused by the screen light up.
This is how it is supposed to work, guys.

***Nevermind This post. I figured out why this is happening. It was becuase 'use vertical swip to change to symbols' was ticked and apparently just a micron swipe is trigging this on my phone, i type too fast for this option, Turning it off has seemed to fix my problem.****
This is a wierd topic i'm sure, I'm wondering if anyone else ever gets ghost hits on their screen when typing with the on screen keyboard.
I use the regular built in keyboard, no custom rom, no root, nothing, and it seems like 1 out of every 3 or 4 messages i'm typing my keyboard will randomly switch to the symbols, its annoying as hell and I cant figure it out.
You might think "He's probably hitting the key while typing" but its in the lower left corner, and sometimes it will happen when my left hand isn't even typing, i'll be going to hit the I key with my right thumb and BAM i'm in symbols now... I dont know if its exactly the same key every time I cant seem to quite reproduce the problem, it just randomly happens and its irritating.
I'm wondering if there could be some kind of link to the screen protector causing this or not? It's a clearvue screen protector.. I've also noticed when playing around with the screen, that sometimes I can get my fingre sooo close that it actually detects a response, and my finger hasn't even touched the screen yet! IS there some sensitivity thing i can adjust or something? cuz i dont know whats up with this wierdness...
Anyone else?
Hello!
I recently changed a cracked display on my l7777.
When I turn on the phone everything works just fine, including all tests using *#0*#.
But if I lock the screen or it locks itself after some time, the screen is upside down, really bright, and the touch inputs are reversed, for example to pull down the top bar, you have to drag from the bottom. Also sometimes crashes the *#0*# test or it shows failed.
Im not sure what is causing this, I tried apps that force the screen to certain rotation, but they barely work and the touch inputs are still reversed.
Sadly I only have access to limited technical support (I live in Bolivia) but I was wondering if there is any way to fix this, if the phone works perfectly on start up, maybe someone knows how to remain like this, what happens when the screen is locked?
Thank tou very much in advance for any help

Sounds like the digitizer was inverted somehow when the screen was replaced.

I would say, go back to the tech that replace it for you and tell them to fix it at no charge. But if you were the one that did it, I would suggest to go to someone that know how to do it.

Thank you, is there any way I can check if this is what has happened?
I cant take it back, Im afraid they could make more damage, and there is no good tech service near me, I have searched a lot.
Is there any way I can do this myself?
I was hoping that since everythings works ok until the screen locks, there may be a software fix for me.
You can do the repair yourself. I'm sure you can find a YouTube video to walk you through it. It might be worth it to tear it down and then rebuild it so you can make sure all the connections are secure and nothing is binding. There is not a lot of space inside, and it's easy to bind the ribbon cable.
Good luck!
Hi, same thing happen to me. Could you fix it?
I just got this bad boy yesterday and now it seems that I can no longer scroll the second screen by swiping on it to access the quick toggles when the main screen is off. Last night I was able to, but today it seems stuck on just showing the time/date and notification icons. No matter what I do I can't get it to scroll to the quick toggles anymore. Anybody else have this issue? Any fix? I have the AT&T version if that means anything.
TIA
Figured it out. I turned KnockOn off and apparently that disabled the whole digitizer when the main screen is off. As soon as I turned it back on, my second screen started working again.
Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.
