When i go into landscape mode to type i tilt the phone left. When i try touching the bottom row keys they don't work unless i'm above it. Touching the bottom of the screen doesnt do anything like it would on other phones. When i tilt the phone right and go into landscape mode from there, everything works fine. So what gives? What's up with the left side? Calibration issue? How do i fix it? Its beyond annoying
 
SOunds like the touch screen is or has gone bad. Take it back to Metro and have them warranty it

Actually it is a known issue, although I have not heard many talking about it. I also have the issue. Here is a review of the phone where the reviewer talks about this particular issue - LG Esteem | Keyboard Review & Calibration Issue | (Metro PCS) - YouTube



EDIT - so I got the FOTA ZVB update a couple of days ago and now when I check, I do not see the problem. King9starz what SW version do you have? menu/about phone/sw version will show you the version, if it is ZVA then you can update to ZVB which seems to have fixed my problem with the keyboard. Check the forums on how to update with QPST or wait for an FOTA update from LG (which I finally received a few days ago).
 
Thanks for the reply. I have ZVB though so i don't understand. I am kind of relieve to know I'm not the only one with this problem and that yours got fixed. I wonder if mine will too. But how long will i have to wait for an update? I tired manually updating via LG Mobile Support but after i installed the drivers and connect my phone it stills says "disconnected, Please connect phone" I'm clueless here =/

uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
 
Currently ZVB is the latest FOTA update, with rumors that there will be another one possibly very soon. I dont know how it was fixed but I had the problem then I got the update, then your post prompted to check and see if I still had the problem but it now seems fixed, so I dunno...Just hang in there, I;m hopefully it will get resolved soon :)
