Hello,
my Optimus 2X (Speed) is going crazy. It opens apps on its own. When I try to scroll trough my contacts or my emails, the phone vibrates and does scroll on its own, and clicks randomly. So it is not possible, to use it at the moment. It seems like someone else is controlling the phone
I tried factory reset, full wipe, Modaco rom, Cyanogen Mod and Stock Rom. In all theses roms the (problem) behaviour is the same. I also tried different baseband versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or a simular?
Thank you for your help,
Hans
ps: This forum is great and i got a lot of help and knowhow just by reading passiv for 2 months.
i think your display is now wrong calibrated or damaged
Thanks for the answer.
Is it possible to re-calibrate the touchscreen?
Hans
i dont know definitly, my last phone had the same problem and it was not possible
I had the same problem when connected to hdmi. And yes when i touch the screen the wrong position is clicked. I brought to LG service center and they flashed the ROM and after that everything was much better. There's problem occasionally but most of the time it's ok. Not sure if it helps.
If the capacitive layer of the screen hasn't been damaged, then perhaps a hard reset would clear up any issues?
With the phone off, hold down Volume down + power to do a hard reset.
It'll wipe everything on the phone, but perhaps the last option barring reflashing the phone with new firmware.
use your warranty.

Thank you for your answers. I did flash different roms and did hard resets. But the problem was the same.
So I think I have to make use of the warranty.
Me and my brother got the same problem when connecting to our 19 Philips tv via hdmi, but a 40 samsung works fine. The phone is going most crazy when holding it in my hand, when I put it on a plane surface it almost stops with all the wierd behaviors, but it's damn slow. He got an original rom and I got a Modaco rom. So is it software or harware problems? The hdmi-output seems to be ok, if I pull the cable at diffrent angles nothing changes.

exactly what i experienced. My TV is 32" Toshiba. But after flashing by LG it was much better. Also, I use MOBO video player coz it's got options of turning off the whole touch screen except the 'option' button. After that the phone is ok while playing the video.
I have a friend that had a similar problem, and even after flashing everything back to stock the phone didn't seem to work properly... He returned it to warranty as it seems to be the only thing to do...
Have you tried NVFlash???

hey guys
have been a reader more than a poster on this awesome site..
but i have run into some trouble :/
within the past week, everytime my phone gets slightly hot, the screen alignment goes totally out.. like really out..
for example i manage to open the notes app..
if i tap the extreme left side, the draw tool will draw in either the center, or even far right.. its extremely frustrating.
Happens mostly after a phone call, using gps, or plugging phone into usb/charging..
im using Panosha's 2.2 full
Radio .05
I have tried loading the original HTC rom that came with the phone... no difference..
any help would be greatly appreciated
oh, and i do re-align... 10-15 times a day..
when the phone is cool, it runs like a dream

When you have the same probs with the htc original rom, then it has nothing to do with a cooked roms :-(

thanks guys
damn, mine does the same from time to time!
does anybody have a solution?
did a replacement fix the problem?
unfortunately i havnt had a chance to take it in yet, but i have logged the problem with my service provider..
the problem occurs alot more when i used panosha's rom/s
with the default (and now alphazero) the problem seems less frequent, but definitely still happens..
happened badly yesterday when i used gps to get my girlfriend to a casting, but switched on car A/C and after 5 minutes it was cool again *shrug*
its really annoying though
will let u know when i finally get to taking it in, unless u get there first
Hi there, I have the exactly problem what you had. Whenever the machine is hot, it becomes mad. Any solution could be reslove the problem?
It really sounds like a hardware issue... When you return the phone to the store please flash back to the original stock rom (for warranty purposes )
same problem
i am getting he same alignment problem.i do it many times a day but still tapping somewhere on screen taps the other way.very difficult to dial phone numbers

i dont think its an hardware issue,as after i align it works fine for few hours and then i have to align again to make the taps work acurately.........i have heard there is a cab file for it.if any one can post it here.........................or make a cab file so that clicking it makes the alignment as it was default with the new phone
It is a hardware issue. the screen somehow (usually when carried in front pants pocket) will get pressed and SHIFTED. Then screen pushes against the side-cover and this fools the touch-sensitivity of the screen. Try yourself - try to shift screen to one or other side, and directly after it will be better. it's still a service matter though. Send it for repair.
This is a known issue. You need to exchange the unit for a new one.
hey guys...
so late last year i took the phone in and it spent 3 weeks at leaf (HTC distributer here is south africa)
i got the phone back, turned it on in the store.. and guess what... still screwed..
i threw my toys to say the least and got a brand new phone..
the new phone was 110% up until 2 weeks ago..
it started doing the same damn thing (to a lesser extent)
i have found that its a connection problem..
the touch pad is very all over the place if used normally (so basically its unusable)
but if i hold down the top left of the phone(pushing down just above the start menu) with my left hand and use my fingers on my right.. the phone works perfectly again..
does anyone know how to fix this?
its so frustrating, especially knowing im going to be without it for 3 weeks or more again
hmmm ...
i heard that the radio-part is for managing the curcuits.
try an other rom.
but i cant give garanty, i hard it only.
Hi everyone...
I've been having problems with my Galaxy S since yesterday. After upgrading to XXJPM my display is rotated 180 degrees (completely upside down). Strangely enough, the touch interface seems to be working just fine.
For example, the "Phone" icon is supposed to be on the bottom-left of the screen. It is now displayed on the top-right corner (again, upside down) but in order to activate it I still have to touch the bottom-left corner right on the icon's original position.
The display is also rotated 180 degrees if I enter recovery or download mode, but the volume up-down buttons still function as is. There are times when the display will appear normal for a few seconds before rotating itself 180 degrees again.
I followed the installation steps to the letter, did everything properly, I even searched just in case other users had similar issues, but I still haven't found a fix yet (really sorry if I missed similar threads). I also tried calibrating the g-sensor, but that didn't solve the problem.
Auto-rotate works perfectly, but the screen is still upside down no matter which way I rotate the handset. The same goes for when auto-rotate is off.
Any thought will be highly appreciated. I'm also willing to make a small donation if necessary. I'm desperate for a solution

I did, but that didn't solve the problem. I think it has something to do with the bootloader since during startup the screen would show the normal Galaxy S logo correctly for about one second and then the display is rotated. Even the download/recovery interface is flipped.
The Good and the bad
Good news first: you are not the only one have this problem.
I have same problem after updated Nordic v. Froyo.
Bad one is I haven't got a clue how to sole the problem.
Let't belive ours has special talent which can jump twice more that ordinary ones.
try reflashing with one of the roms that has a bootloader included. search around not all do.. i know the jh2 for i9000m has bootloader..

Tried this, didn't work too. I also tried Tayutama Edition rom, actually it helps a bit. After finishing the sdcard scanning routine the screen would work just fine for quite a while before going straight back to being rotated. It is also still upside down during the entire boot process.
Found another interesting discovery. Still using Tayutama firmware, if I switch the Power-Saving Mode from Display settings off and on, the display will be reverted back to normal.
I wonder what's causing this issue in the first place...
Tried another fresh rom, still no improvement...
I attached a picture showing how the screen is upside down even in download mode. Notice how the USB port and the download mode triangle just don't match.
Any further advice would be highly appreciated

Make sure Galaxy lie FLAT(back of galaxy isn't flat)
Setting-Display-calibrate
Mine worked that way hope yours too.
Now landscape to potrate turn like cream

I'm glad you fixed your Galaxy S though. Quick question: did you have the screen upside down during the Galaxy S logo animation on startup?
It seems diffren kind problem
I am sorry that my solution did not work for you.
Mine did work few hours after down load Froyo.
Then problem began.
Have you tried factory reset then calibration?

I have another Galaxy S in hand. The broken one still has its screen upside down. I was wondering if I can backup the bootloader and ROM of this new Galaxy S with the system working correctly to the broken one. Will that be possible?
As always, inputs are welcomed
Thanks wonbad!

Thanks! I had also problems with auto rotation, did even factory reset but did not start to work until made calibration you mentioned.
I've tried virtually anything to get the display fixed, including doing a complete rom backup of a healthy Galaxy S, and the display is still rotated. I think it really is a bootloader problem.
I took it to Samsung service center here in Bali. They said they can fix it, but they won't because I got the device in UK and I need to take it to a service center in the UK to get it fixed. Crazy...
A quick Note
==========
Just to make it clear, for any future reference, display rotation if shown when it is powered off and charging and also while booting, this is most probably a hardware issue, this can ONLy be achieved by replacing the LCD (or doing a hardware repair of the LCD) it has nothing to do with sensors or software.
Thanks.
Okay, I have a LG Optimus Black and I'v had for a few months now and yesterday afternoon the power/lock button just stopped working. I took the battery out and put it back in, and it wouldn't turn on. I found out a away to turn it on using my charger and the power/lock power. Can anyone explain what is going on with my phone?
Thanks
The power button pad has been internally worn down by repeated use.

Okay, so my power button is screwed?
Tried another ROM already? Maybe you just got a SW bug, which doesnt interpret the buttons correcly...
But I would say it's screwed...
No, I didn't think of it. I went through heaps of hassle with data and stuff flashing the ROM I have now so I didn't think of it Could you suggest and good ones for my phone? and with good battery because my battery isn't charging properly or fast like it used to or not at all. Oh and the ROM I currently have is CyanogenMod.

I would personally suggest you go with Zeus over Marvel, Both are great ROMs ofcourse ,however i had more available ram with zeus which could give us an edge when trying to play games..and the thing tat i liked abt Marvel is that it is totally custamizable
Dont turn this into a battery/ROM discussion thread. There are several of them. I would suggest you to simply flash stock SW, as you would have to do it anyway, to bring back the phone on warranty...
Okay arun_pms, I'll try Zeus. Do I look it up on this?
Sorry NOOBY0815. Yeah, I'm thinking of taking it back and get a new one or a whole new phone. But yeah, I'll flash it back to stock if what arun_pms said doesn't fix my problem.
Now i see the advantage of Samsungs hardware home button to its galaxy lineup as an alternative to wakeup the phone.
Yeah, I like Samsung's android phones.

I have had this problem, but it has only occured to me at the lock screen, and I do the same thing; shut the screen off and turn it back on. Not a big thing, but it definately does get annoying.
There is another thread about a digitizer problem for the Ace, and this is probably the cause.
Thread right here ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553042
Check it out and see what they say.... I'm too lazy to read hahaha :silly:
I don't really know the solution, but hopefully this helps
Sorry to reply on ace forrum.. bt even i experiemced this.. Bt i observed that wenevr i plug in the charger into ahigh voltage n if i charge my mobile, then the touchscreem stops working n immediatly aftr unpluging charger or pin from mob. It works fine.

I tried changing the kernel with different custom roms..but all efforts in vain.
So now flashed official samsung firmware through odin..even now the same problem exists with the touchscreen.
I reckon the problem may be more related to the digitizer thingy.
Last option now remained for me is to get phone checked for a hardware problem.
Anywz thanx guys..will update about it after giving it to service!!

Galaxy Ace touchscreen not responding
Hi everybody!
I have a big problem with my Galaxy Ace. Since this morning, the touch screen not respondig.
The problem started last night, the touch screen didnt worked, but at that time I could fix with lock-unlock.
I havent power it off since last night, and since this morning it doesnt work, cant help restarting, lock-unlock, I tried everything, no solution
I made a factory reset from the recovery menu, but that doesnt help
From the factory reset I also removed the cache, with no result
The interesting thing is that when I wanted to power off my phone, the power-off-menu appears, and the power-off button looks like it is active (like an unvisible finger touching it continously), but I also cant touch it.
Also doesnt respond the two touchable button below (menu and back button), but the physical buttons are working.
Its also an interesting thing, I can hardly pull down that information panel (on top), but it appears only 10% of the panel.
What do you think? What should I do? Is it an hardwer- or a softwer-side problem?
Sorry for my grammar mistakes.
Did you drop the phone accidentally ?

Hi,
Lately i am experiencing a lot of troubles while typing a message or just unlocking my lockscreen.
The touchscreen respods bad, sometimes it starts moving out of itsselve... Its really annoying to work with the phone like that...
Someone facing the same problems?
Suggestions? Fixes?
Btw. The phone is stock, nothing changed or replaced...
The onling thing i did was removing the shaterproof film (and my Sony logo )
Try repairing it with Sony's PC Companion or Sony's Update Service first.
remember to backup your stuff before proceeding.
Do full wipes.

Did you try to shut the phone down for 30 seconds and restarting it, seems to fix many unusual android issues.
I have noticed sometimes that my phone on the odd occasion does not repsond to screen press.
I am also experiencing the same problem.
Did a factory reset but still the same problem comes occasionally.. any solution ?

I've had this problem only sometimes when charging outside...When u feel that the touch isn't working as it should,put on your earphones and look out for a low buzzing sound..if u hear anything,then unplug the charger from the wall and check in another socket..hopefully the problem in my phone was that current was leaching onto the capacitive screen so if I touch just once,it registers a number of touches..hope this helps u get rid of the problem

That may be the solution to the problem you had but this isnt the problem here , it happens when whether the phone is charging or not and I think themichelanne is having the same problem.
Power off the phone with power+ vol up - wait for 1 vibrate followed by 3 vibrates and leave the phone then wait for 30 second before powering on, solved it for me....no problem in touch till now and i hope it does not come in future.
BTW This phone is really really full of problems.
Also happens to me when using some chargers
I bought my unbranded UK Xperia Z in Expansys, since I live in Portugal they sent a extra charger for the european standard socket. I had this exact same problem with it, the screen was extremely unresponsive and unprecise while charging. Now I use the charger from my old N900 and have no issues. Also, charging from a lower volt/amperage source like a computer I have no problems.
Since the capacitive screen is very sensitive, a low quality AC-DC adapter will generate issues (possibly due to the current/voltage not being 100% stable).

Im also experiencing the same problem. So annoying, especially while texting. Xperia Z's touch not proving to be how it should be.
This happens with this phone for me, and previous android phones. Usually its just the app open not responding to touch events, but my softkeys still work and I can force kill and restart whatever im doing. Sometimes I have to reset. It seems to be happening more frequently since updating to 67, but its not often enough really bother me. using a tool like romtoolbox to increase the amount of touch events android can process seems to improve it somewhat.

Have you found any solutions for this? I have been experiencing this since 4.2.2 update. I don't know what happened. Can you please explain what's wrong and what's happening? Have you got it fixed yet? My screen freezes frequently so I'm unable to use the phone.
I have been experiencing this problem since a long time. But I have found no solutions for it. I took out my screen protector and the freezing thing got to normal but still it freezes sometime, but more when the screen protector is on. I'm pretty sure this problem is caused by the screen or the android farmware. I'm downgrading my OS, please reply to this. Mine is C6602. C6603 doesn't experience any problems like that.
How I fixed my Xperia Z5 touch screen
Hi everyone,
So, my Z5 touch screen was not working at all anymore, I have tried every manipulation recommended on the internet but did not succeed to get it working that way.
Here is what I did to get it fixed eventually:
- Installed sony companion
- Launched the "fix software" program (I don't know the exact name of the program in english)
- Followed the steps (took a while, something like two hours)
Then my phone rebooted, but nothing, still the same issue. Tried taking off the sim card, rebooted and same problem. Then, I put it back in the phone, and for some reason, the touch screen decided to work again. Although, I lost a lot of data in the process, but worth it.
I don't know if it is a general fix, but on my phone it just worked that way. Although, I have noticed that my phone started overheating something like two weeks before the touch screen problem appeared, I assume those two problems are linked in some way. Still did not find any fix for the overheating problem except putting it under cool water or let it cool down for 10 minutes.
I hope I helped with my post, good luck for those who are experiencing this issue.
