[Q] Touchscreen Problem with ICS Roms - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed different ICS roms to 3 different i9000s. All of them has touchscreen problems.
Some parts of the touchscreen does not react to your touch sometimes. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen. I have tried different kernels etc... No go. It really annoys when you are dialing a number, writing a message etc.
And interestingly no one mentions about it at ICS Rom and ICS kernel threads. Can I be that unlucky to have the problem on 3 different i9000s (They are not from the same batch, each one is bought from another part of the world, at different years).
I would really like a solution or suggestion. Till now i have tired different kernels, different ROMs (mostly ICSSGS (different versions), and Dark Knight (different Versions)). I even tiried diffrent schedulers and governors.
Peace.

That's weird, I have used SlimICS and have never had TS problems... Are you sure you flashed everything right? Please explain the way you've done it

with one phone installed team icssgs as it should coming from the stock , other phones back to stock with odin than cf root and flashing the roms after wipes factory resets. the usual flashing procedure....

Try flashing the team hacksung base first, afterwards flash your desired custom ROM. That should do it.

could you try to explain the diff. between flasiing without cm9 or or with cm9. whar would
be the difference at the end?

I don't exactly know why this is needed, but I would assume that TeamHacksung or CM9 have some frameworks included which are perhaps missing in custom ROMs. I'm just guessing, don't really know =/
Have you tried it? For a CM9 based ROM, flash CM9 first and for a TH based ROM, TH first

Hello,
Have you checked if the Problem still remains when you are on Stock ROM?

no i havent but it was working just before i flashed icd.
also i have 2 more phones with the same problem. So it is not my phone malfunctioning.

In ICS-333 from you can turn on show touches in developer options in settings menu you could see if its registering your touch immediately or at all. The browser is the only place I've experienced touch lag though.

Hey I got ur prob and I know what causes it, it not a bug, its dirt or water on your screen that causes the prob if u keep the screen spotlessly clean u don't get it

I have activated show touch before, it does not register your touch at all. also I have tried cleaning it no go, since this is happening with 3 different phone, i doubt it is dirt etc.

I know what causing it. It a bug where dirt or water or something gets on the screen and because the drivers on ics is so sensitive it picks it up, try changing sensitivatiy or keep that screen very clean

i have the same problem. its very frustating. never happened in gingerbread. only on ICS.the bug happened occasionally, the funny thing is it only affect the first row area of the screen. (lower left altheway up to upper left corner), it doesnt register tapping on the screen but it still register swiping from outside of the area..., like ussual i need to lock and unlock again to make the touch working again.

I have installed GB back and problem is gone? I am out of ideas anyone?
Flashed back ics bug returns, flashing jb same thing.

Exactly the same problem here
With Stock GB everything works fine, with custom roms the right side of the touch screen doesn't react. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen.

This is interesting this is far more than i anticipated anyone with a clue?

same problem here. my screen was working when i bought it (obviously). it was froyo then. the touchscreen problem appears when i upgraded to custom ICS rom. the middle part of my touchscreen does not respond to touch. none. nada. although the rest of the screen seems to be responding to touch so far. turning the screen off the on again temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. i put back a gb rom, the problem was gone. i was thinking maybe there's a different digitizer driver samsung put on their stock gb roms. it's really annoying.
any more ideas? should i replace my touchscreen digitizer?

Yes it's really annoying :crying:
What is different between stock gb/froyo and ics/jb custom roms that have such an effect on the touchscreen?

I will try the app SGS Touchscreen Booster to decrease the screen sensivity, maybe it helps

never heard of this problem in all the time i was ics.maybe time for some jellybean

[Q] Touchscreen issue

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.

[Q] Touchscreen problems while plugged in

First of all, apologies if this question was already asked, I did not find anything...
Whilst trying out and comparing several ICS ROMs, I always encountered a problem:
Regardless of which ICS ROM or which kernel I run, when the phone is plugged into my computer, the touchscreen does weird things. It seems as if one touched the screen on several spots simultaniously, which is quite annoying, especially when typing...
On some ROMs/kernels, this problem seems to be less apparent, but it is always there.
Currently I am running ICS333 with mnics-LR kernel (23.05) but as I already mentioned, it does not really matter.
Can anyone confirm this problem and - more importantly - is there any way to fix this?
Was it working when u were in GB? Once i also had the same problem when in gb

Usually those kind of problems are connected with bad quality DC power from USB. Bad filtration. Please connect your device to some other PC/laptop and check is it the same. If it is not then your computer is fault. To make sure connect your charger and check is it ok. Stock charger. If it weird too your mobile is damaged.
Of course this may be only one of reasons.
There is some problems with touchscreen when plugged.try calibrate your accelerometer.sometimes it helps sometimes it don't or try touchscreen booster from play store
I once had this problem. Then I changed a cable and it was fixed.
thank you all for your suggestions I'll try them when I get the chance...
for now I'll stick with ICS333 and semaphore kernel, it seems that with this combination, the problem is minimised to "nearly non-existent"

Pixel Salad since LPF even after return to LPY

Hi folks,
Having an annoying issue with my Note that has popped up a few times lately.
When unlocking the handset sometimes I get a garbled display with green lines everywhere. Often I can see my lockscreen wallpaper all over the place.
It never happened on GB, first time I had LPY it was fine. It happened on LPF so I flashed back to LPY. Unfortunately it has kept happening.
Is it something to do with LPF new bootloader or something to do with the fact I had to tick repartition when flashing LPF?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I've had the same issue
I've experienced the same thing - good to know it's not just my Note!
My Note is entirely unadulterated. Its a German bought model on the stock ICS LPY update that updated via Kies a week or so ago, whenever the LPY ICS was officially released.
Never rooted, not custom ROMS ever installed etc, just pure stock ICS.
I've noticed the 'garbled' screen exactly as you describe a few times on turning on the screen too, it's all green and yellow and looks like it's broken. It's like the graphics driver just goes nuts. Pressing the power button to turn the screen off then on again 'fixes' it though, no reboot necessary.
I received my Note a day before the ICS was released via Kies, so I don't know if the 'bug' was ever present in GB, or if it's a hardware thing specific to some unlucky handsets?

Just curious, do you have a custom lockscreen wallpaper or one set from a seperate image on an SD card?
I've got a custom wallpaper set from an image I downloaded into the 'downloads' folder, wherever that lives.
If it ever happens again I'll try take a screen shot of it

Try using the stock lockscreen wallpaper, see if it happens again. Just got a hunch its some sort of bug relating to the gallery.

Screen unresponsive

Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung galaxy s last week from an eBay auction. The phone was described as touch screen lag. I was thinking that flashing a new firmware will solve the problem. I got really cheap though
The touch screen stops suddenly in every 5/6 minutes and I have to lock the screen using power key and unlock again to make it working.
when I got the phone:
Non Samsung battery and chargers were used, I changed and using original ones.
Stock XXJVS firmware in it.
First I flashed stock 2.2.1 froyo and test the screen using *#0*# code. it got pass. But when I start using it, the problem was still there.
Then I flashed stock GB, same story, now slim ics, same thing.
Please someone help me, there is nothing I can do with it now.
I search few threads related to screen problem but couldn't find one with similar problem. So asking here.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me..but it's really hard to say if it is. But it would definitely seem like it since it isn't ROM related. Maybe a water damage or faulty digitizer?

This happens to me sometimes very rarely though, it will be weird and hard to touch but speaking to someone with the same phone they said they had this problem to all I do to resolve the problem is lock and unlock the screen, I thought this was normal?

It shouldn't be normal. I am using another galaxy s for almost two years. But never had this problem in such extent, little bit lag on touchscreen when on froyo. But never after. Now with slim ics Temple run is more smooth then iphone 4.

Thanks for reply. When I got it first time, it was really annoying, the problem was so frequent that it was almost unusable. Now in new rom, after unlocking the screen it works little longer then before. Works like a charm when it works. So not sure this is hardware problem.
Sent from my Galaxy S using xda premium
I don't think this is a hardware or problem either, I broke the screen and replaced it and I still have the same thing when though it is very rare, so if it was the screen it should of gone after I installed the new one, btw I installed a whole new pre built front so the bevil and LCD, and my phone has never hib water damaged? Maybe its something to do with the bootloader? As that doesn't change through ROM flashes

Guys its really annoying now. Its behaving strangely. I played with it few hours and found out that the screen near the home button freezes first. I cant press the dock but still pull the notification bar? then stops working whole screen. I checked the show touches in developers options setting. Sometimes it works randomly actually without touching it , I just place my finger near the screen but didn't touch and on few occasion it works opposite direction, like I scrolled down but it gone up:crying:
Is this the sensor issue? Is there any way to fix? Any idea please?

I tried all of those apps, nothing wrong. I think I should change the screen and digitizer, I might need to go to the repair center because my hands shake (my usual problem) and hard to fix tiny things. I want to do few experiments before taking it to repair. I already put it in the freezer for two hours it was acting like crazy after.
Suggest me more...

Me too!
and i thought i'm the only one experiencing this kind of problem. it is exactly what i'm having on my sgs. seems to be temporarily fixed by turning the screen off and then on again, but after a while, the screen doesn't respond on the same spot as you're having.
i've managed a low level debug on screen touch response using adb logcat, and my touch doesn't really register any on adb logcat console.
they might be correct on the hardware problem, but when i'm on any gingerbread rom (2.3.6), the problem is gone.
guys, any idea what kind of drivers they're using on gingerbread for our touchscreen?
I have this too on ics, left half of screen stops responding, lock on/off sorts it....until the next time! Bugs the hell out of me!
Me too! on ICS
btw, i'm already on ics team nyx
change
flash CF KERNEL and put ICS CM9
middle screen not responding
- when in stock gb firmware (official from samsung), the touchscreen problem is gone.
- but i want the features of an ics rom, so i flashed one (first was slim ics); the problem appeared first; first guess was the custom rom was still in its early stages.
- flashed back to gb, no touchscreen problem.
- flashed new ics rom from cm9 (nightlies), problem appears again (ugh!).
- flashed backed to updated slim ics since this was the fastest and easiest to install, touchscreen problem still persist.
- found a temporary fix by turning the screen off then on again.
did a adb logcat full trace log of touchscreen input: what i noticed was the whole vertical middle part of the screen is not responding to touch; dragging touch from one side to middle is working just fine, but not starting from the mid vertical part.
the problem may sometimes go away after a while, and sometimes persist even after the temp fix. it's very intermittent indeed.
help please.

same problem here, left part of the screen would be unresponsive at times
can fix by locking the phone through power button and unlocking it, thats why i think its a software problem.
I dont remember having this problem in GB also.
maybe something is messed up during flash?
I have the same problem with ics and jb roms from the onecosmic ics times and i had a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648287
I have written here but no one seems to now what it is, i have been using ics from onecosmics first release and had the problem from that moment on, different kernels, roms etc it is still here i have flashed gb again and problem is gone, flash again with ics the middle part still acts sometimes. ?...
We should request from kernel developers and rom developers to look into it. I have tried almost everything no luck so far

[Q] Need to wait a while for the screen to turn on

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

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?

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?

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?

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?
