G4 rocks back and forth when swipe typing with the phone on the desk

[dpham00]

A lot of times I will use the phone on my desk and when using Swiftkey with swiping, it rocks back and forth. This is true both bareback and with my verus verge case.

Anyone else notice this?

I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it does since it has a curved back. My G3 rocked like that. Luckily I've gotten myself used to not typing on a flat surface.

Yes, I believe on one of the AC podcasts they mentioned this.

Oh yeah...might have been the first thing I checked out when I got the demo device. I use it quite a bit as a calculator when I'm doing office work and yes it's irritating.

But it's still a sexy beast, right???

I like it, It's going to become my daily driver on 6/4...time to give LG a shot, it'll either make me a fan or go back to Samsung eventually. There are some Samsung features that I'll miss bad but it's time for a change. I can't really give it the testing I'd like because I have an unlocked version and my service is Verizon, so its use has been limited to home wifi and general poking around with the settings. All the warts will become exposed when it gets abused since it's 95% a work device for me, my opinion will surely change.

Crap, I forgot you had an unlocked version. I was tempted to pre-order through Verizon but I'm going to hold tight and stick with BB. If they don't have the devices on the 4th and won't price match the Verizon price, then I'll cancel.

Yeah, I also remember in the AC G4 podcast, I think jerry had that issue too

^^^There you go. If beans aren't classy enough, fill it with diamonds.

I just saw this, it's a good FYI if true...

I just returned from the Verizon store (Corporate store, not a franchise retailer)...The salesman said that IF you purchase thru Best Buy (either contract or full price), any problems, errors, questions, etc have to be handled thru Best Buy. In other words, if I bought it at Best Buy, even tho on Verizon's service, all hardware issues are now Best Buys hardware issues. And they in-turn would go back to LG, vs being handed a new phone when purchased at Verizon.

I don't think I've ever used my phones while on the desk.

Not surprised since it has a slight Flex.

I though the g4 just had a curve, does it really flex?

Although it works... It is inconvenient as I use it daily in public places on a desk. Bringing a bean bag with me everywhere would be annoying.

I have always used my phones on desks. It is a preference. But a deal breaker but it is annoying
