My phone has been working perfectly with JM5 & samset v1.9f with CFlag fix v1.80.
Then the other day I noticed the screen was shaking slightly when I held my finger on the screen, as if it couldn't locate where my finger was correctly. Also it shakes alot more severely while it's charging.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? Could it be a software fault that reflashing firmware will fix, or is it a hardware fault.
Please help!

it's called haptic feedback
it's on by default, you can turn it off from Settings
is that what you mean? or it's something else?
Maybe it's the touch point itself which doesn't register correctly.
Are you using an aftermarket (non-Samsung) charger? I remember reading about someone else having trouble with the touchscreen going bonkers while he was charging the phone on a non-standard charger, which for a capacitive touchscreen might indicate some kind of electrical grounding issue, (edit: or maybe not (link)).
edit: Maybe you can try discharging the screen by wiping it with a soft cloth used for cleaning vinyl records.
I have only ever used the charger that came with the phone, and the usb that came with it to attach it to my laptop.
The problem still exists while it's not charging, it's just alot less severe.
I'm going to have to flash it to stock firmware and hope that fixes it. If not I'll have to send it out to be repaired.
I hate phones sometimes......

I should also add my screen is perfectly responsive, there are no dead zones.
It's as if the touch screen can't tell which part of my finger is touching the screen. For example; If I put my finger flat on the screen rather than the tip of my finger, it shakes alot more.

Thanks for your help, I read the link you posted, very helpful. Maybe the charger was faulty and that damaged my phone overnight?
I tried the charger at someone elses house and the increased screen shaking still occurred. But if I connect it to my laptop by usb, it reacts the same as when it's unplugged.
I will try wiping the screen with a vinyl cloth when I get home. It has got a screen protector on, but I can't imagine that affecting it.

definitely not the screen protector
i have one installed, and i don't experience those screen shakes you described.
I found this interesting thread about someone having very simular issues: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...tions/31237-please-help-droid-has-shakes.html
It hasn't helped in solving the problem, but at least I know I'm not alone with this issue.
Edit
After reading the post more carefully, it seems that this persons issue somehow fixed itself.
Perhaps the best thing to do is check if this issue is covered by warranty (so I can send it to be fixed at a later date if problem is still there) & see if mine fixes itself too...

i used to experience this on my HD2 and Milestone, i must say that the galaxy S'es touch sensor is one of the best and have very seldom experienced this problem.

Yes my problem is simular to that, but it's only that bad when it's charging from the mains.
I'm going to flash to stock firmware tonight. If that doesn't sort it I'll take it to a t-mobile shop & see what they suggest.
Apparently I've got 2 years warranty so if it gets worse rather than 'fixing itself' I can always send it to be repaired. I just don't want them to give me a refurbished one, knowing my luck it will be full of dead pixels...

Sounds like something interfering with the contact between your finger and the screen, or faulty hardware. ( Screen protector, wet fingers. )
If you are reproducing increased troubles with charger than it may very well be faulty hardware.
I can also attest to the high quality of the Galaxy S's touch screen, it can track 5 points very accurately.
It's not the screen protector as it was working fine with it before Tuesday, when the problem started.
I'm going to flash the firmware tomorrow when I have time, if that doesn't fix it then it must be hardware. I'll report back.

Ok, I flashed JF3 and the problem was still present.
I went to a local T-Mobile shop & showed them the problem. They basically said the phone still functions correctly, and recommended to stick with it and possibly get it repaired if it gets worse at a later date, which I fully agree with as I could get a refurbished phone in a worse state.
I reinstalled JM5, samset v1.9f, and used the update.zip ext4 instead of Cflag fix. I notice for some reason the problem seems less severe, but that might just be imagining it.
Thanks to everyone who helped.

I'd take it to an official samsung service point. There's no way a phone salesman would have a friggin clue about whether or not that's safe. It might make your battery explode and blow your nuts off if theres some shortcircuit in the phone or something...

Hello guys I never noticed it but for some time I noticed something strange on the screen of my galaxy S. Putting it in landscape in the upper left corner i see the notification bar as if it's printed on the screen. I don't post any screen because in these you can't see what you see on the screen phone and that's what worries me
Sorry for my english
Thanks

Well since the picture is already burned in to your screen, the only way to fix it is to change the display. If you haven't opened the phone etc. then you can just take it to a service centre. I'm quite sure that burn in is covered under the warranty, so you won't have to pay anything.
You could first try to take the battery out for a couple of hours and see if it helps.
If that doesn't work, you can try to somehow put a bright white on the whole screen on the phone and keep it about an hour.
If none of those solutions work, just take it to a service centre.

Well yes, you've had the problem once so you could have it again. But warranties are there to ensure that you have a product that functions as expected. If Samsung are willing replace the item at no charge under warranty then it's obvious this is not the expected behaviour. Based on that logic not only is it your right to get a replacement, Samsung aren't really expecting it to happen again, otherwise burn in would be expected behaviour and not covered under warranty. Anyway my point, although so far, poorly made, is that it's not expected to happen again. Well that and so few other people have the same problem, it's extremely unlikely that it will happen again.

Exactly. Burn in is probably quite rare, especially in LED and LCD screens. I was actually surprised when I read your post. Old CRT screens used to get burn in quite often if one screen was left on for a long time. But since SGS has an AMOLED screen, the chances of a burn in happening again any time soon is quite slim.
You can try one of them burn in repair videos that just keep flashing colours that they use to unstuck pixels on lcd screens. You can get the video from youtube or anyplace you can and set media player to loop for a few hours. It might fix burn in.

Actually that wouldn't work, since the screen is AMOLED. There isn't any crystals that get stuck in one position. In LCD screens the pixels are tiny crystals that move in a way that a color is reflected to the screen. Sometimes these crystals get stuck in one position and so they show one color constantly. AMOLED screens have tiny LEDs that provide the colors to the screen. These can't get stuck, but they do wear out or burn out which leads to the colors not being produced correctly, and for that reason it'll look like a picture is stuck on the screen. That's something you probably can't do anything about.
Ok i'll see what to do.
Thanks to all!

I have a very constant "phantom tap" on my Note. It is always in the same place on the screen - the very center, bottom area (I get to see a lot of S Memo). It was not a problem until today and does not happen very often when charging.
It makes the Note almost unusable and I bought mine off of eBay so don't think I have a lot of choices for returning.
I have seen reports of these phantom attacks on other devices but not on the Note. Don't know if it's hardware or software related.
Any thoughts?
Could it be a batteey issue as it works better when being c harged?

This is an example of what happens. If you look at the pic you will see a group of dots in the upper right corner. I had the phone in landscape and the dots appear at the very bottom edge consistantly as if I was tapping the screen. This is a real annoying problem. Makes the n7000 almost useless.

Before I throw the towel in on this phone I am going to try a new battery on the hope (small) that this behavior has something to do with power delivery from the stock battery.
Does this graph look reasonable? It seems to me that the battery temp gets hot quickly and there seem to be a correlation between high temps and phantom screen inputs.
Thoughts?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Same issue for me on the standard (now old) XXKKA rom. Just at the bottom, left of centre - plays havoc with my wordfeud!
It was only occurring at night when I used my phone more which made me also think it might be temperature related, but now happening more frequently during the day.
Loathe to have to take it back for repair, warranty covered or not, so if anybody has any ideas about whether it might be software related I'd be grateful to hear them..
Thanks

Hey Phil
Yep, sounds like the same symptoms that I had. I thought temp was the issue for a while and then maybe battery because it did not happen when the phone was charging. Even after buying a new battery the problem continued however and ultimately the Note became unusable.
I was lucky and had a good seller via eBay who helped me return the Note to NewEgg as it was within 30 days of purchase. The bad news initially was that NewEgg was sold out and so I could not get a replacement unit. The good news is that going with the AT&T branded Note will be a better option for me at the end of the day so I am looking forward to getting that.
Good luck with the issue but I could never get any worthwhile information on the issue.
Moved to Q&A
As this thread is worded as a question, it needs to be in the Q&A Section
Even though she doesn't remember, I'm pretty sure my wife dropped her nexus one. Now i gotta fix it.
PROBLEM:
1. Camera doesnt work now. It force closes or just shows black screen forever. The camera flash doesn't work either.
2. After hanging up a call, the screen goes black.
3. Extremely weak WIFI reception.
4. Burning through a serious amount of battery power and the antenna gets really hot.
STEPS TAKEN SO FAR:
1. Thought it might be software related so I installed CM7 and the battery issue got better but thats it.
2. Cracked the phone open and checked to make sure nothing got jarred loose during an earthly impact. The camera unit was a bit cocked but it still didn't fix it. Everything else seemed fine.
ALL OUT OF OPTIONS. ANY IDEAS WELCOME. At this point I am prepared to start swapping parts. Any recommendations?

Had the same issue. Send it in to htc, they will fix it for you. PS: Don't worry about the bootloader.
Well thats the other problem. I cant ship the phone because it has a lithium battery in it. I know, sounds wierd. Its a long story but basically I have to attempt a repair myself hence why I'm looking for suggestions.

Just got a droid 3 from Asurion to replace the D2G I cracked this weekend, and I don't want to sound like a whiner, but I'm not too impressed with it. Not liking the unlock button placement/it's hard to push (lawl), and the keyboard isn't as good (except for the number row that's nice), stock is kind of sluggish, and the screen seems kind of pixely and fuzzy in some places. But the biggest issue that I just found is that if i shut the keyboard at any speed slightly above average, the phone restarts completely. Does anyone else have this issue? Could it just be because it's most likely a refurb? Sorry for the complaints haha I'm just a bit disappointed but i'm sure the phone has its good qualities
Sometimes this happens to me as well, but not always. I think its the battery, when you shake the phone you can fell the battery moving + restart

If it is the battery what you can do is take a piece of scotch tape and roll it end to end and stick it between the battery door and battery. As far as the lag wait until CM9/10 is done.

At one point I tried a third party extended battery I found on Amazon and it caused this exact problem (and also restarts at other times). The fit of the battery was kind of loose and when shaken or handled just so, it would restart. Is it a refurbished phone? Refurb or not - check to see if it is a Motorola battery in it. If it is the battery being loose causing it, I'ed request another replacement. You shouldn't have to mess with a phone they just sent you to make it work.

thanks everyone, and yeah i think it's a refurb, sometime it shuts off randomly too. but it is strange because even if i shake the phone it doesn't shut off, only when i close the keyboard too quickly (which is any speed except slow and cautious), so i dont think its the battery being dislodged but who knows. it's def the right battery, but i think i might call asurion because i cant really deal with random power downs
I flashed Android N Preview as a secondary ROM using MultiROM, everything worked perfectly, no issues what so ever.
After a day when I was listening to music using Spotify the phone suddenly switched of abruptly with battery over 90%
Since then I couldn't able to switch on the phone again.
No bootloader, no Recovery, Its not booting at all. No response from the phone.
I think it is dead.
Changed the Battery to new one.
Not worked. No sign of anything.
When I plugged in the charger the LED light is on, but I don't think its charging phone is not warm while it is plugged in.
In fact it felt like so chill.
So, I don't know how to recover my phone.
BTW, the phone's bootloader unlocked, rooted stock ROM as the primary one.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Did you try to press the power button for 15-20 seconds? That's a weird problem.
The same happened to me.,and my phone is stock and locked. Its bricked. Nothing we tried helped

the back plastic sheet is held on with adhesive, I would apply heat first then work it open with a tool like isesamo or maybe a thin credit card or guitar pick. underneath there are 20 torx iirc can't remember size and another plastic shell with many holes in it. this cover, the wireless charging coil, and battery are adhered together i think and there are two small rubber covers for the power button (top) and battery (bottom). remember to disconnect your ribbon cables and treat them carefully.
the real problem imo lies in reassembly. i have repaired many and never feel they are the same as they came from the factory mostly because the back cover doesn’t re-adhere well. invest in some quality 3m adhesive, even a pre cut if you can manage.
Yeah done everything I have in my power nothing works.
Asked service center to check they said the phone is dead.
To get it repaired it will cost 3500 for me, they said.
Damn it.
Don't know what to do.
Now they said that the motherboard is dead, I need to change it inorder to get it work again.
Is it possible like this kind of problem occurs?
I was in Android N listening to Spotify
Putting a pre release OS on a phone, especially using a hack like multi rom, was indeed a recipe for disaster..
I'm certain that your partitions somehow got corrupted, and that results in a un bootable phone
Hopefully, someone reading this thread, who is thinking about doing something suicidal like that will learn from your mistake, but your phone is toast, unless you can get it J-Tagged, which might not even be available for your N6

My phone is officially dead. Service center said that the motherboard is weak and is impossible to repair and only fix is to replace the whole motherboard to a newer one. That would cost me a lot like i could get a new for it and they even suggested me to exchange this phone to a newer one.
And now i got Nexus 6P and I love it so much.
But God i really miss my Nexus 6.
Thanks for the help and suggestion here.
Long live xda.
I couldn't resist to unlock bootloader. Flash multirom and stock root and xposed.
