[Q] Screen Freakout - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey team,
Wondering if you had seen this problem on your notes? Every once in a while after a screen wake, my note's screen flips the hell out. The best way to describe it is like when you plugged your NES into the cable and it was set on channel 3, but your tv was on channel 4 and it was spanning Mario over the screen like 10 times in a second.
I've had this happen on every ROM I've been on, and it is solved by putting the phone to sleep via power. Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen this?
Thanks team

at this moment my rom is the aokp, but the display does not do this

I'm on stock LPY [OTA Update] IIRC it's been happening sporadically to me since Gingerbread. Seems to be a hardware issue. [Also I believe the phone had been hotter than usual whenever it happened]

Did you ever notice it on Gingerbread? I think any flavors of ICS I've tried have done this to me

Did froyo fix the crazy screen bug?

Is it me, or did froyo fix the "crazy screen" bug? I also noticed that my phone doesn't get as hot when it's been charging on my car dock.
I'm running FRF50 since it was released. The screen issue is long gone. I use to have it a couple of times a day. I sometimes get it but that's once a week.

This, and I'm on FRF85B
Gotta be the best part of froyo for me, crazy screen bug fix, flash player, Jit compiler.
Which crazy thing happening are you guys screaming about? Are you talking about when the touchscreen would begin to register touches in the wrong place until the screen is turned off and on again?
Yeah that's what they are talking about. But the bad news is this problem still exists. I've had it happen many times on froyo. It's not gone at all.

Funny thing is that I had those issues on an AT&T-banded phone and they have gone way downhill since Froyo.
I find the granularity/preciseness of the screen better, and more responsive when, for example, you are dragging left-to-right and you start dragging up-down. However, I only do this in the browser so it could be down to better browser performance and/or JIT?
Still have screen uncalibration issues but seem to be better in 85 than 72
Does indeed seem to be a thing of the past, and on a similar note, it's improved the capacitive button accuracy as well.
Good that they've done it, but now I keep hitting them in the wrong place.
I'm using FRF91. Crazy screen bug happens with me twice a day. I don't know what I do to go away, but after a few minutes it stops by itself.
Ok I have been noticed a new problem for the past few days where the screen did not response at all when I turned on the phone. I cannot slide the unlock bar to unlock it. I had to turn it off and on again for one or two times to make the screen response again. Anyone else having this same problem?
Crazy screen occurrence definitely reduced.. however, it still happens when phone heats up significantly.. say, on a dash board while navigating. It's most definitely heat-related... so it must be hardware =(
I'm running Geo's FRG83 and I get it quite a bit when using Skype. I've seen this problem from the beginning and haven't seen a reduction in this issue with later versions of Android. It is the only problem I have with Android/N1.

Problem with Notification Bar.

I recently ran into an odd problem. I updated my phone from 2.1 to 2.2 Froyo Test 4, then to RC1. I use overclocker app, launcher pro, and advance task killer mainly.
My problem is: When I use my phone, sometimes the screen will not allow me to touch icons, unlock it, ..etc. All it does it move the notification bar up and down like I am touching the top of the screen. If I keep trying to "turn screen off, back on, off, back on"...eventually, I will be able to use the phone for a couple of minutes before it happens again. I tried disabling/reducing overlock settings, uninstalling launcher pro, downgrading 2.2 to 2.1 (ICERoM 2.8). None of this helps.
Any ideas?
Note: Sorry if this was explained elsewhere. I tried searching my best.
Kernal Version: 2.6.29-Godmode-oc-bfs (toast)
Where do you live? I live in florida, and this happens to me when I'm outside for an extended period on a really humid day. Once I take it in to the ac for a few, it's all ok.

Louisiana. Doesn't seem like that would be it though. My wife has the same phone and has never experienced this problem (she has OEM 1.6 version). I am leaning towards software issue.

You posted this in the wrong forum
Anyway, it could be a hardware problem, but it sounds more like a software issue. Sometimes this happens to me when the phone slows down. Are you low on RAM when this happens?
Nope. Ram is ok. 70+ Mb. Seems like it all started when I upgraded to 2.2. At times, the phone is unusable. Right now, it has been working perfect for a couple of hours. I downgraded to 2.1 thinking that 2.2 was the problem, but 5 hours ago, I encountered the same problem with 2.1. So that can't be it. Screen protector maybe?

Yeah, could definitely be the screen protector is changing roms doesn't help. Could also be a bad touchscreen, but most likely screen protector.

You guys probably overclocked it too much damaging the touchscreen.

this makes no sense mate. The overclock affects the cpu and not the touch screen. Anyway I didn't use any extreme overclock, beside using for a while the Telus Lite with 1.1ghz oc stock. And well I barely played any game, just a lot of emails and surfing on the web, very few calls. I noticed it happens when i move too much, like dancing or when i leave it on the shelf for the night and by the morning it acts crazy

I used to have that issue with stock 2.1 roms.
CM6, Sense mod, fastest Eclare and now MIUI does not bring that night mare back to me.
Also, if you charge using a 2-pin socket [the one without the earthed pin, popular in Asia], it'll show up.
OP needs to be a little more clear, but let me say my results.
Ever since flashing 2.2.1 SBF and then applying a few Froyo Mods and even goign back to ECLAIR,
I noticed that multitouch screws up. Sometimes it things I have a finger on the screen already, so by putting a finger on, it does a pinch zoom on me even though I only have 1 finger on it. Then sometimes it doesn't let me press an icon on my screen insisting my finger is elsewhere. Other times the notification bar starts getting pulled down randomly.
Perhaps Kadalban can explain his Multitouch fix, but for me it seemed to solve a lot of issues. Granted it was only pushed out in CM6 12/4/2010, which gives me 1 day to test so far, but some of those freak-incidents have been disappearing. You'd have to give me 3-5 days to conclude anything, but for now it seems to have done the trick.
i have issue with eclair 3b and CM6....it crazy when i I get my phone out of my pants....
is it FW error or HW error? in my country, in my country there are many like me.and we do not have a solution for this problem rather than the touch screen

how did you fix your screen.my homebutton does not respond
I just changed to some mod roms and the problem disappeared for me.
Some of my friends got really big issue with the touch panel and when they came to Motorola service point, the technicians said there is a known issue with the panel they used but not all customers are affected (hence some people are OK after trying different roms).
So if one experiences it then just needs to go to Moto and they'll change to a healthy-guaranteed panel obviously, if you're still under warranty, it's free!

[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.

is it just me or is phone not as hot with 4.2.2 update?

One of my only complaints with the phone is that it would easily get over 100 degrees just from basic use. I tried every ROM and kernel, even stock, and no change. Well with 4.2.2 I noticed it didnt feel as warm and I checked and its running 88-98 degrees. Before the update I would often see 105-110.
This is good news. My phone gets all hot on me just by simply browsing via hspa+.

Hi guys,
I did the update this morning to 4.2.2 and have noticed a considereable delay of my Nexus 4 on Waking or Sleeping (5-10seconds). I did not have this problem before the update.
Is there anybody else experiencing this problem after the update?
