Power button

[Ian Bower]

Just noticed that on my G6 the power button doesn't always turn the screen off when you press it, sometimes, may be one in ten, it requires a press or two more. Is this normal or a possible hardware issue? How is yours? Please let me know..

Few, if any, things associated with phones and computers have 100% reliability. You may have not hit it right or maybe not long enough. As long as it keeps working I would just go with it, as you can't really do anything if it is a hardware failure.

I normally double tap the status bar, however I think I have noticed that a few times. First, the button sometimes seems to give slightly before pushing in all the way to activate, so it requires a firm press. Second, it's possible to press the button and rewake with fingerprint if your finger hovers at the button.

I usually double tap the screen to wake it (when it's on my desk) otherwise i either put my finger to directly unlock it or double tap it to see my lock screen (because man i love my wallpaper on there )


Edit: why is this thread in the accessories bit of the forums though......

Mod note. Thread moved to the LG G6 main forum.

I know it's not the same iteration, but my LG G4's Power button, I feel, was sometimes like this. Maybe I pressed it too fast, or it didn't register fully for some odd reason... I would say that if it's a rare or not likely occurrence, as you say, it's probably not an issue. Like another user stated, these things happen with technology. Odds are, something won't work 100% of the time.

Mine is the same. I assumed that what happens is sometimes it locks but immediately recognizes my fingerprint and unlocks again. I try to remember to use a different finger to lock

Hmm, for unlock i use fingerprint and lock double tap... But power button is well built at least to me.. Though i do miss volume buttons on the back.. And IR blaster

Same i also use knock code when it's on a table. Do miss volume on the back too though they felt nice tbh.

Knock Code!! I miss my LG phone.

Hmm, knock code was too slow for me

I use it when my g6 is on a table which is quicker than picking it up and pressing the finger scanner on the back.
Also i don't get how it's slow.... it's as fast as you can knock it lol

You're welcome to come back.... We won't hold it against you.

Hahah i am slow at knocking..

Normal, totally normal for the G6. I've had 3 and all 3 did the same thing. Most often works but if you don't depress completely (or if you press it even slightly to the side) it won't turn on/off.

Anyone had similar issue ? Basicly it said to me that fingerprint sensor needs to be cleaned ? Like what, how and why.. Dafaq

Sometimes its not the sensor itself....do you work with anything that might make you fingerprint hard to read?

 

[devaa]

On work i wash my hands like 5-6 times a day.. So only that, maybe from dust.. And sweat, my hands are sweaty because it's very hot here.. I now took the ear cleanner put some alcohol on it and clean all over the sensor and now is fine.. Yeah maybe it's not but these red sentence says sensor needs to be cleaned.
