I just got my $199 Ebay NC last night, and loaded CM7's newest nightly #13 on it.
Everything seems to be in working order, including market and whatnot, but there is one problem: some areas of the screen would become unresponsive. I noticed it repeatedly in three scenarios:
1. When the notification bar is pulled down, the "clear" button can be unresponsive
2. In market, the "install" and the subsequent "ok" to give permission buttons in an app page can be unresponsive
3. the search button on the top right corner of the market (the magnifying class) can be unresponsive
The weird thing is that the rest of the screen is fine, i.e. I can scroll up and down in the market, and I can click on individual notifications fine, but just those buttons are unresponsive.
I am using the Kernel that came with CM7, and LCD density is at default 161.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Sounds to me like it is just the bad responsiveness of the NC around the edges of the screen? Stock, with Froyo, and now with CM7 that's been the case for me.

I see. Good to know Im not the only one having this problem.
Did you ever get this resolved? or just live with it haha
To fix the touch screen issues try Dalgrin's OC kernel over in the development forum. He fixed some of the touch screen issues with it...maybe it would fix whatever problem you are having. You can run at stock speeds if you want of course, just go to Cyanogen settings>performance>cpu and set it to stock.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it "somewhat" helped. The problem inside the market is mostly gone, but the clear notification button is still buggy. Wondering if Nookie Froyo would make a difference.
Just saw this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980222
and tried out the app and it seems to work.

If you notice the clear button also changes size. When it is big it's very easy to hit, but when it is small it has a very small area to hit. The upper left hand corner of the button seems to be the best location to hit.

Hi everyone,
I was up to ICS Rom yesterday, but everytime i unlock screen, i cant touch in the bottom of the screen, cant typing with h, g, j and somewhere around it, but on the right, left or top screen i can still use normal. Does anyone know what happen and how to fix it?
When im in CM7 Rom is was fine and has no problem
PS: Sr for my bad english i really not good in grammar.
Same problem but different area
I have the same issue.
On Apex i had no issues but when i upgraded to SlimICS 3.2. The right side of the screen ocasionally becomes unresponsive.
That is, on any keyboard from approximately the 'i' to backspace horizontally, and from enter to the top of the screen.
This whole zone randomly decides not to work. the only fix is to turn the screen off and then turn the screen on again, or backing out of the application and reloading it. The application can be anything, chrome browser, swiftkey, messages, whatsapp.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
I'm running slimics3.2 with semaphore ics 1.0
I'm also running slim 3.2 and had the same issue with the sephamore kernal. I just reflashec the essentials and everything worked perfectly for me.

I used the essentials kernel first and experienced the issue, i thought it was a kernel issue so I flashed semaphore afterwards. But I still have the issue...

I hate to say this, but its probably the fact the phone does not like ICS, it is more than likely some sort of hardware incompatibility issue.
I went through this exact same thing, it was on a 1009 or so build number captivate, no matter what flavor of ICS, none of them would work properly with the touchscreen hardware, there was always a spot of the screen, at the lower center 1/4 portion of the screen, that was unresponsive. Flashing a Froyo or Gingerbread rom, the touchscreen was perfect.
So.. I sold that Captivate, purchaced a refurb Captivate off Ebay, and touchscreen is perfect with ICS (CM9 is what I run).
Wish I had something more helpful, but that's my experience. Good luck with it.
Hello, I am having some touchscreen problems with CM9 and 10, but not with webOS. Namely, I think that the tablet is detecting double or even triple taps when none are present.
In CM9, when I execute a longpress (to move an app for example), the tablet just kind of... spazzes out, and in general nothing happens. In CM10 it also does this, and almost everytime, it starts whatever app I was pressing on.
Also, when I try to type in the CM10 keyboard, 2-4 characters are being entered at a time, unless I touch incredibly lightly, and even then, I will often get two.
There are other symptoms along these lines, like trying to pull up the notifications, etc. This does not appear to be isolated to any one portion of the screen, it is happening everywhere I could check it.
This CM9 versions I have tried are the nightly 0715, and whatever the latest nightly was about a week ago. The CM10 version I am using is jcsullins' 12/16.
As stated, I have zero issues in webOS.
Is there any way to change the touch sensitivity? Am I a moron and doing something wrong?
Thank you for your help/advice.
To clarify, I think this might be two separate issues...
I'm not as concerned with the CM9 issue, as it is only a mild annoyance and everything else is outstanding. CM10 is virtually unusable, however, so I'm hoping someone can help me out there.

I've not had this issue, but this might help. Go here : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing
Download the touch pressure utility (should be the last one) and flash it. Hope it helps.
Good luck.
As an update, after shelving the touchpad for a few months, I have revisited it, and, after doing a clean install of jcsullins' CM10.1 w/BT Fix (20130808), the same issues as above still persist. I've done the following, although I didn't really expect most of them to work:
Switching to stylus mode (no difference)
Changing the accessibility settings for touch & hold delay
Even went so far as to install another launcher (nova) to ensure it wasn't trebuchet (not that I think it was)
Same for the keyboard
This has never been an issue I've seen in webOS... additionally, I don't remember ever having any issues in CM7 either. I did play with webOS for some time today to make sure it wasn't some kind of hardware failure between now and the last time I used it frequently, but I failed to reproduce the problem there.
Is there any light someone can shed on the subject? Thanks!
Thanks for that Chicle_11... I don't know why I failed to mention it, but I did also try the patches with CM9, but it is to my understanding that they were rolled into cm9 nightlies at some point?
I wonder if I could be having a minor hardware issue that just isn't severe enough to display in webOS, because I can't seem to find anything else about this, especially the keyboard problem with CM10. Its bizaar for sure.
Started experiencing the same issues after upgrading from cm9
I recently upgraded from cm9 to cm10.2 and immediately noticed this issue. There were no such issues with cm9. When swyping on the keyboard (any - Google, Swype, etc.), the system registers that I lifted my finger, and so garbage gets typed - you can also see the effect in the trace. When typing instead, letters sometimes double-up for a single press. When playing games like PvZ2, dragging a plant results in a release of the plant before I've lifted my finger, and sometimes the plant gets planted across the screen from where my finger is pressing.
Have been using Touchpad CM9 for a long time, and 2 months ago reflashed it due to the '50 apps in sd card' issue. I reflashed it to the most recent CM9 nightly and it was stable with camera working and all. However what I realised was that there was this space at the top of the screen, about 2cm long, that does not detect any touch at all. This give problems as certain apps have tabs at the top and I can't access those tabs (for e.g. Browsers). On landscape the back button can't detect my touch (on landscape and with the "space" on my left). I wasn't really using my Touchpad much during this period but have recently been more active on it, thus its problematic for daily use.
I have just flashed CM10 over CM9 and this problem persists. I have went into developer options and enabled "Show Touches" and when I reach that "space" it stops detecting my touch and disappears. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some help :/

Do you have the same problem in webos? If so, it's probably hardware, if not I'm sure someone will jump in and help.

Wow, you are right, webos has the same problem. I guess I was just in denial that it was a hardware issue and didn't think of checking it in webos. Damn, I don't think HP would want this back right
Sigh guess I should look into the chinapads my friend was recommending just this morning
Just wondering, is it possible to have android ruin the "hardware" aspect of the tablet? I am thinking of removing android and seeing if it exists still on my Touchpad.. Hmm..

No, android does not cause a hardware problem, AFAIK.
Use acmeuninstaller then follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
If you have problems with novaterm, there is a workaround on page 12.
If after this you still have the problem, then you know that it's hardware.
Read the whole thing, it's very informative.
Edit : use cm10.1, it should give you access to the back button in landscape mode.

Thanks for the help! Will try this after backing up my stuff via Helium.
I have the impression that 10.1 isn't that stable, but I am likely wrong. Dont seem to see any cm10.1 with low deep sleep drain + working camera & mic + most other functions, or I could be looking at the wrong places.
I use milaq's nightlies, and for my needs, it's more than adequate.
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?
