I recently got into this green spot issue like everyone else. Planning to install whole bunch of AT&T stuffs to bring it back for replacement. However i found a fix for this. Dont know if this is temporary or permanent. Gotta wait and see. But at least it works on my phone and it may help the others too. Please dont yell if it fails on your device.
I went to Settings --> Apps ---> All ---> Camera ---> clearing data and cache. Reboot the phone and voila!! everything is FINE FINE FINE!!.
My phone is original AT&T H810 10g, flashed to H810PR 10A and rooted.
I know this has been an ongoing problem so I say good job and keep us posted.

Can you test a bit..check white balance, turn to manual and auto..does the green spot occur?

REPORTS:
As of now, after 4-5 hrs of use. The green spot seem to come back. I cleared data again, come back to Camera, it's still there for 2 seconds then disappear. Try tweaking the manual modes, it come back on and instantly disappear and never come back again. taking like 10 photos in different settings, angles, corners, lights. I dont see it again. I know it is still there. This is not a 100% fix. But it doesnt hurt to try. At least to me, there is a way to get it working when needed.

Here's mine now..lol...obviously its a hardware issue.getting new one

Mine is after a day or 2. I dont know. Got the phone and flash H810PR right away
Didn't you switch in international rom too?
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, i switch to that H810PR
I just noticed today I'm getting the green spot as well. I am also on the H810PR. Has anyone seen/heard of a fix for this or should I revert back to the original H810e and exchange the phone?
I don't believe you can revert. If you can let us know how it goes.

I also developed the green issue after going to the PR rooted rom. We likely won't get any further updates along this path - is everyone just living with it?
If its related to software issue maybe we gonna have a poll within PR users that whose have and not having these green spot..but before these PR kdz was released, we've already seen some users having the same issue..
I guess its affected mostly in 1st batch devices
I got the green issue right after flashing PR. Im travelling out of the country this week. I will have a pro technician check it out whether it is software or hardware related and report to you guys later. If it is a software issue, i will try to upload a stock firmware if i can buy it from them. I talked to a guy earlier this morning, he says he can figure out what the problem is when i bring the phone to him. Worst case scenerio, he will flash it back to stock at&t. Their stores has the official LG tools to do it.
I replaced out my camera and both the camera flash and sensors and the greenspot was there again.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
So it is the PR rom that caused it?
The camera was fine for while. But the moment I started using it again it came back. I had no problems with my ois and flash making noise/humming/vibrating till after I switched.

So outta nowhere my headset speakers fail to work. I can't hear anything in a call unless I'm on speaker phone. The keys on my keyboard won't light. And the notification led doesn't light up for text or when charging anymore. I was running newsense and switched to a different rom to see if that was the problem but it wasn't.

Do an RUU back to stock (don't do the OTA), if that doesn't work it is a hardware issue. All those problems at once? Sounds like it got wet, not saying it did, but you don't usually see that many problems pop at once without something major happening. Good luck.

So are you saying try unrooting an re rooting again? Just wanted to make sure that's what you're saying first. And no, its hasn't been near water and I have the ottetbox case on it. This is my original shift btw, bought brand new with contract 14 months ago. Also just wanted to add, that even though the keyboard keys don't light, my shift and fn lights still work.

I have had the same issue happen to me, for some reason the Shift is a great water magnate they apparently found some " Moisture" Build up in mine, when they came to open it up during a repair, I would keep $100.00 USD On the side just in-case you have to file an insurance claim with asurion.
Ive tried to, Unroot and back to stock, ive tried rerooting .Re-Romming and Flashing the device,
a Majority of the time issues like that are caused by the wiring in the device "Moisture" Build up and or just cause the shift wants to be a little bonkers .
But then again if your not around it, you may just luck out and get a hardware defect claim and keep 100 bucks in your pocket and two days later you get a Refurbished device ^____^ yay for you.:laugh:
I said it sounded like moisture lol:sly: Anyways, good luck... Shifts are dropping like flies round here.
Don't want to start new thread so. Will try posting this here. My shift's screen started going black whenever I open or close the keyboard. It happens whether I am in the OS, bootlader, or recovery, so idk if it is the ROM. Any ideas?

I've seen prboy post about this a ton of times but what he always suggests is to see if you hear sort of a crunching sound when you close/open the keyboard. If you do, its probably the flex cable and you can buy one and replace it yourself (if you want)
I believe you can also take it in to Sprint if its in fairly good condition and they will give you a new one no questions asked
You might wanna also take a look at the questions/posts HERE or HERE

There is a very good possibility that it could be the Flex Cable. But if you plan on taking it back to Sprint, RUU first. That way you kill two birds with one stone. You confirm the issue, and you prep it for going back to Sprint.

Yup, guessing it is the OIS engaging. Wonder if this is hardware or software...
I'm not sure. Imma hitch a tmobile store and ask them ...probably try for a replacement.
I had the Note 4 which was plagued by this issue in a large number of units. However, I got the s6 (edge) and have not had this problem at all. In the Note 4, people had to get replacements to truly fix the issue permanently.
I think I am gonna go and get a replacement. I hate paying this much for a device and have issues. I do love the phone other than this one issue.
Went to T-mobile today to show the camera problem and get a replacement. The rep got on the phone and about 25 minutes later I was told I'll be getting my replacement in the mail tomorrow! Just have to ship back the defective unit once the new one comes. Hopefully the new one won't have any issues.
Just disable "auto HDR"

Well, at the risk of sounding condescending, HDR is a more complicated process than just simply taking a photo. Typically, it's going to involve capturing multiple shots at different exposures and combining them through software. I'd imagine that the camera is trying to compensate for this and is taking an extra second in contrast detection to determine it's focus point, which to me, would be totally expected. Turning it off and finding a faster focus would be the trade off (and photography is ALL about trade offs lol).
Tried.... problem not solved.

Usually only a problem in low light or the first time you open the camera that day in my experience once auto HDR is disabled..

UGHH. I have the very same issue. I spent 2 hours yesterday setting up my phone and would hate to have to return it. I'm beyond annoyed by this. Let us know if this is a defect with the hardware or if it's just the OIS needing to adjust. I don't wan to go through the trouble of returning my phone and having the same issue.
Also, is there a good way to back up my phone? Helium sadly does not work, but I'm wondering if Samsung backup will do the trick, in case I need to get a new phone.

LG-V10 updates
I just purchased the LG-V10 phone yesterday and right out of the box had issues with the volume control on music, video, games & other media. It was locked and would not let me adjust the volume up or down. I took my phone back in to the T-Mobile retail store for an analysis of what was causing this problem. It was a simple update that had rolled out after the distribution of this phone. Best place to check for updates is under settings.....general....about phone....update center. There you can check for all app and software updates provided by LG Electronics. My phone is working fine now.

There has not been a system update for this phone since its release and the only firmware version available so far is H901-10c, build LMY47V, unless the update literally came out last night and has not yet propagated.
Your volume button problem was likely a software issue which was resolved when the rep did a factory reset on the phone, or a hardware issue, such as the contacts for the button flex not properly mating with the motherboard pegs, which can be resolved by pressing the back of the phone in a specific spot.
This thread title got me so excited for no reason. Someone should change it lol.
This morning I was presented with an update, now running software version r730aucu2bpd4
Anyone else see this? No information on ATT website or anywhere else on the web, except for a mention on a vietnam facebook webpage, that I cant read lol.

Hello...
Can I downgrade my G3 from Android 6 Marshmallow to Android 5 without having to root it?
I got the update but I really didn't like it. There are a lot of things missing.
Thank you
What specifically is missing?
As for your first question you can flash back to KitKat and then update to 5.. there is a thread for that.

To expand on the OP a little bit /Thread jack?/...
I'm having the strangest problem - The lower third of my screen acts like every swipe is just a touch. So when I try to scroll, it registers it as a click. I'm on Turbo ROM right now, but this problem has persisted across RR and AICP. Someone suggested that I go back to factory. Would it not be a good idea to just go back to LP?
I'm hesitant since I remember with my S3 going back to KK (I believe...) caused a brick since you couldn't return to the earlier bootloader. I may be remembering some of the details there wrong, but I'm still concerned about going back. Has anyone done this successfully?
Thanks in advance
Hi...I haven't done it yet, but I think I will...Marshmallow slowed my WiFi connection (have no idea why).
One very important thing is missing. The option to block a phone #.
The themes option and the live wallpapers are also missing.
I am also having battery issues, I have to charge earlier. The battery used to last longer with 5. Please notice that now I'm not even using a live wallpaper!
There are some positive things about 6 like the improved roll down menu/shortcuts. There is a flashlight and screen light regulation bar.
I'll try to downgrade to kit Kat and then to 5. I'll post what happens.
@autosurgeon do you know where the thread for the downgrade to kk is? Could you post it for me please? I am new here and kind off having a hard time finding things! Thank b you so much!
Blocking a phone call is not missing. Wifi slow is usually the DNS server your provider uses I run an app called DNS pro it keeps me on Google DNS servers.
The themes are missing on the lg home launcher I don't use it so I don't care.. Nova is so far superior.
Battery discharge is caused by a an app misbehaving or because you didn't do a factory reset after the upgrade.

Remember all your apps have to be setup as on push settings and when they can wake up the phone as after the upgrade many will update to the 6.0 version and some of those settings will change to default. Facebook did this as did Google now and both are battery hogs when in default. They wake the phone up 20 plus times per hour to phone home.

It's just a pain...you know...I'm getting old....I'm 38, female and I try my best to keep myself updated with technology, but I must say that I don't have patience anymore to get used to the new looks and features!
Please be patient with me...I have some more questions. Lol
So...if I do a hard reset now, what will I lose on the phone? Any apps? Contacts? Messages? Configurations? I am always afraid of hard resets. I had bad experiences with Samsung.
Running the apps on push settings....how do I do that?
And what is exactly NOVA? Why is it better? What can I do with it? Is it free?
I'll try the dns pro!
Thank you!
Nova is a launcher app. And yes it has a free non pro version you can try. Try it it's better if you like the features I do. It has a ton of features (;

Make sure you have at least one Google account setup on your phone and all things are set to backup. As for text messages if on att they have a backup app for that if not you can use a text messaging backup app from the play store and back them up on your micro SD card.

Your apps will reinstall once you add your Google account back to the phone after the reset.

Hello...
Can I downgrade my G3 from Android 6 Marshmallow to Android 5 without having to root it?
I got the update but I really didn't like it. There are a lot of things missing.
Thank you

I [just] downgraded my wife's last night from MM (6.0) to Kit Kat 4.4.2...Marshamallow KILLED my wife's D850. Burning battery, dropped calls, re-boots even after factory reset. I did what was in post #3 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624353&postcount=3 )
After downloading KK and .Dll it took a total of 10 minutes and was one of the easiest flashes I did. After flashing back to KK, I took the OTA to Lollipop. She called me today and we talked for 15 minutes with no dropped calls and NO over heating. my question is stay on 5.01 or go to 5.1.1? I will probably go to 5.1.1 now i know how easy i can do this again if it doesn't work out.

I'm having the strangest problem - The lower third of my screen acts like every swipe is just a touch. So when I try to scroll, it registers it as a click. I'm on Turbo ROM right now, but this problem has persisted across RR and AICP. Someone suggested that I go back to factory. Would it not be a good idea to just go back to LP?

on the g2 phones, this would indicate a broken digitizer, and since the digitizer is fused with the screen, you need to replace your screen
