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..

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.

Swipepad was working flawlessly on s2, with gb then it was occasionally killed in background on ics with cm9, now on my note with ics,criskelo rom, it's almost useless, it's benign frequently killed in background, the hotspot are also laggy, is there a way to bullet proof this app from being killed,
Any help?

Does it gets killed in between,i mean you have to open the app to relaunch it?

On S2 was perfect, on Note I cant use hotspots on the sides, only on the squares, the other hotspots are not big in size for this res and fails continually.
The dev doesn't even answer the mails and even using the notification icon to avoid the kill of the program, it is laggy and slow.

As far as the size of hot spot is considered the new update has provided the option to increase the size of hot spot
But
I'm having the problem of it being killed in the background though i use the notification icon to keep it alive,
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
SwipePad does have the option to set the size of the hotspots. And it works perfectly well on ICS. I am using it on stock LPA.

Well I'm happy it's working fine in ics, coz I'm so used to it, May be a reflash shall work it out, I'm on criskelo rom
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'll suffering too. Only the corners work. The edges are simply not responsive. And this has nothing to do with the app as I've felt the edges to be unresponsive in other apps as well.
The dev is as unresponsive
what i have noticed is that the back key kills the app,i think its the way ics works, it keeps at most 4 in the background, if some one would help me in preventing swipepad from killed in the background would be nice

Has anyone else experienced crashing lately on this phone? Im using the APEX launcher, but occasionally the screen will just drop to black (backlit) and not respond to any key presses, except vibrate on a key hold. 20 seconds later after all key presses screens back on responding to the key mashes.
Ive also seen a few restarts lately, usually using google maps. Next time it happens I might see if I can catch the logs.
(Wish I had cyanogen again)
nope, been flawless so far, not frozen or re-booted, had a couple of apps crash, bout it!

Probably some apps that look for your location, to share or for better service, like weather, google, etc...
Check the settings.
I have some crashes with some widgets. Clear your home screen from every non stock widget and make the test.
Still trying to figure out how to use any widget without entire phone crashes.

From both of your reason, i can see maybe its from the phone gets overheated...it is possible as same like my previous phone, while using maps, i already noticed the back case seems soo hot then it just restarted...as you already know O4X having the heat issue...
Also it can be from that your system is too overloaded and cant find anymore free room to free up the memory...and overheated at tje same time....
Its just my opinion

Thread closed to avoid more bumps...
I still use my Captivate every now and then. I run CM10 on it. I flashed a 4.2 camera zip that would not work. Said device not supported. I just now thought of flashing a different 4.2 camera zip and photosphere works on my Captivate. Granted its really slow and I mean really slow, but perhaps someone could take the zip apart and see if its possible to speed things up a bit?
Edit: Just now realized it lacks left and right movement.

You might've already noticed but it's more of a hardware problem than software.
Yes, I know that there is no gyro. However, most of the posts I read could not even get the camera on the photosphere option to work.

If this has been posted already, my apologies! i've been reading in the forums for months now and haven't seen it posted yet unless it came and went down the list faster then i could see it.
so the main issue seems to be, after taking a few pictures over time the camera app just freezes with the LED on like a flashlight and won't take another picture. until i found this google code submission
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=40996
i've always had to reboot my phone just to take pics again. it's been embarassing when in public with friends i've bragged to about this phone... its a good laugh thats for sure, but not what i expect out of this phone. has any of you experienced this? do you guys on custom roms have this issue? is this a google code issue only or are all roms experiencing this issue? i haven't rooted yet as i always wanted to take updates automatically and stay up to date, but with this camera issue i'm in the process of rooting right this minute but want to make sure its worth my hassle.
discuss.
I've had this issue as well. It only seems to affect the stock app though as other camera apps continue to function. A reboot is the only way is been able to fix this bug.

It happened to me for the first time on New Year's Eve but happened three times. The app reset when I either closed it from the recent apps list or switched to video camera and then back to regular camera. Not sure what caused it and hasn't happened since.

So what you're trying to say is whenever you try to repetitively take photo, camera freezes with led light on? Never happened to me. Then again, I barely use my camera
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've had this happen as well, although I don't think I needed to reboot, just closed the app and it stopped. But I've had this happen several times, not recently though. I'm very disappointed with the camera on this thing, it seems to take lack luster photos and the app is very fritzy and the rotation animation awful, as well as this occasional glitch.
It's a bug and has been reported. You can star it here:

that's exactly what I'm saying. I take a lot of pics especially when we go out. it does it all the time... it just freezes with the led stuck in. I can hit home but when I reopen it and take a pic it gets stuck in again. I just read I can switch to video and back and it should work, but that's annoying. my girlfriends gnex just works and she always laughs at me when it happens.
question, does this happen on anyone's rooted nexus with custom rom?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Happens to me all the time. The camera app on here is pretty disappointing. I don't get it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I just got it to produce that problem and I see what you mean by annoying. One easy solution that I heard people using is using a third party camera app. Try a free camera app and tell us how it goes. Tried to reproduce the problem with camera zoom fx and couldn't do it. Also I believe this is a problem with terrible auto focus of nexus 4. Because when this happens the focus ring looks like as if it's still trying to focus into a object. Hopefully this gets fixed with software update. Cheers
BTW, using a rooted stock nexus 4 with Franco kernel and camera mod that'll increase the quality of the image and video.

Me too and I've now "Starred" the bug.
Hopefully everyone here has too so it gets noticed by Google.
Same issue. Experienced it for the first time on New Year's Eve. Both my Nexus 4 and my wife's had the same thing happen. Only happened to mine once. Happened to hers about 3 or 4 times.
Used the camera the most on New Year's compared to any other time so that's possibly why I never experienced it until then.
Happened twice when asking strangers to take pics of us too, which was extremely annoying and embarrassing.
The LED flash stays on and you can't take any pics. Closing the app and swiping it from recents and reopening does nothing. The same thing will happen on the next try. Need to reboot the phone. It's the only fix.
My phone did this on new years eve too.

Happened the same to me more then once. I don't use the camera that much but when I really need it doesn't work.
This is embarrassing when everyone around you is taking pics with their iPhone.

Try the Camera Zoom FX app. When I say amazing control, I mean AMAZING control of the camera. ISO, tap to focus and shoot, programmable hardware buttons for shutter/gallery etc...
The ability to control ISO means you can get rid of noise for stills/landscapes in almost any light. It works great. Furthermore, the pictures appear to be better from this app. When I started the app, I played around with it and thought "hey this is great, I have control over each shot, but the quality of the picture in auto mode appears the same as stock." Then I found in somewhat hidden "All Settings" menu a SAVE menu which was defaulted to 85% for jpeg output. I put it on 100% output and the pics look very good if not better than stock. The hardware is decent in this thing so the pics should be good. Take a look at the app and try it out for a few minutes to test it.
Disclosure: I have NO financial or personal interest in the company or developer of this app. But I do have a personal interest in photography.
