Non responsive touchscreen

Hello,
Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.
I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.
Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.
Does anyone know a sollution?
Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.

Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it
I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy

Well, half the times I'm writing a message there is at least one key not working, and I have to reopen the app, it's quite frustrating...

I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.
But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.
Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.
However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.

Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.
Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.

The funny part is when this issue occurs, sliding the lock screen also seems impossible

Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.
Does that work for you?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?

Not that I know of. ....are you using just stock lockscreen etc or do you have 3rd party apps like widget locker?

The stock ICS lockscreen.

Ahh. Could try a clean install of a different rom see if it happens? Tbh I'm just learning to live with it I get it once a week even less than that sometimes.

I get it like 20 times a day so it's pretty annoying..
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

Ahh then I honestly have no idea. I get it nown and again so it doesn't bother me too much.
All I can say it maybe try a different rom or kernel. Other than that I'm unsure maybe something internally it knackered as a worst case scenario.

I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.

i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps

I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.

Galazy note slightly off screen?

I am not sure if if is fully visible from the pic
I am currently on rocket rom v3
(i am not sure if it is related though)
My note screen is slightly off the screen
That cuts the edges of the widgets or
Button boxes like on the pic.
Any idea to solve this?

Whoa, that's new. You could try flashing a stock GB ROM via Odin, just to make sure if it's a software or hardware issue. I think it'll probably go away. No idea what could cause it, though.

Maybe you can try calibrating your screen before you flag another ROM.

Freezing at Lock Screen, Recovery not helping.

Ok, so I was sitting in my bosses car while we are going to lunch and I go to check my phone, its frozen at the lock screen, so I first tried a battery pull, it rebooted got to the lock screen, and froze before I could even unlock it. I've tried pulling the battery and I've tried recovering it, nothing is working. I haven't played with anything recently so I'm not sure what's going on.
I'm running the Legend 5 ICS with the KK4 Corn kernal and Holo Launcher Plus.
I've never had a problem like this happen before but I'm worried it has something to do with the Antutu Battery Saver as I had trouble with it the last time I used it and ended up having to restore the phone to factory settings to get it to work again. The restore I used was one before I installed the app.
Any ideas? If there is anymore information I can provide tell me and I will get it for you.
Thank you. <3
(I did search but I didn't come across any solutions I haven't done already, I am at work so I might not respond quickly.)

Sounds like u have answered ur question....the app seems to be the problem. It usually is a rogue app that causes these problems. Also see the last few posts by crt60 and myself in the Legend thread about tweaks in the kernel that may cause issues as well... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29791778 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29795824

I guess I have, with the link you provided me it looks like that it the cause. It makes sense since from what I can tell the app plays with underclocking your phone and tweaking things. It sucks though it was making my battery life godly. XD
Thank you for verifying this. <3

Black border on the screen

Hi,
Today when i check my phone the display was not filling the entire screen. there seems to be a black border.. .i.e the display is 1 mm shorter than the actual screen size.... i dont think it was there before today... but may be i dint notice...
can u guys confirm if u too have the same kinda display ?

erhm,yes,same here.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.

Are you getting this in all the apps and even on the homescreen as well? If your not getting it.. then I would suffice that it is just that app that your running now that might not be optimized completely on the screen grids/borders of your Note.
Now if your getting this as well in all of your apps including the homescreen/lockscreen.. My second question then would be... are you on stock ICS ROM or on a custom one?
Some custom ROMS have some light blue border that is faintly visible when your trying to look at it. Nothing of a big deal though (to me in particular) as I know this is just a ROM (and therefore a software) issue and not on the hardware one (which would give me much more of a headache if that really happens)

have you tried changing the kernel? if you have.. is it still there?
See also if you can wipe dalvik cache in CWMR... and reboot after.

As a matter of fact I never have seen this before... I'm but yesterday I noticed it... N m pretty sure that it was note there b4 as I would have seen it at the first place

I have changed from note core to speed mod and vice versa... still no go... In fact I have also tried a nandroid backup of what I thought when it was working fine... Still the same... I have tried to wipe both caches as well.

Also are all of your running a specific dpi?

no I have not changed any dpi settings. The pic I uploaded is a photograph n not a print screen.

Anyways I'm learning to live with it... But I am not sure if it's the default display size. If some more note users can check and give a reply it will be helpful as 1 already seem to be having the same display

how can i get rid of the lock screen

i just did the new OTA update today and now my phone has a lock screen every time i hit the power button, i dont want any locks at all...i went into settings /security and have it set to none, but there still is one, how can i get it off?

Strange for me it works
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

I thought I read that option was removed in the latest OTA update however I'm still on 4.3 stock with goodies. I believe the bad boyz rom by omj added this feature back in according to the release notes. I also hate the lock screen and wouldn't run a rom without the disable feature. Might wanna consider flashing that rom. I plan on moving to it at some point. It also has many other bennifits.

Without switching roms you can this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
I haven't used it in years since the roms I have used have it built in but you could give it a shot. It use to work just fine for me but were talking Froyo days.

no problem. Such a simple feature should be included on every single phone in my opinion. Why they took it away is beyond me.

You rooted? It's easy to enable this function if your rooted.

Non rooted stock, there was an option before this update to have a home screen with no lock, but I can't find it no more
