[Q] Strange touch screen problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I bought recently one galaxy s3 mini with defect from ebay. The defect is weird, because it don´t allow me to press the number 7 8 and 9 (it enters the above or the ones down in the keypad. What I find really odd is that when the keyboard pop-out (browser) i manage to enter all the letters I want in that particular place where it should not recognize touch.
(BTW, When I dial*#0*# and use the touch test it don´t recognize touch in the 6th square in all 3 rows, i never see it say pass).
Is there any way of putting the android with the level of accuracy and precision of the keyboard for all the time and screens?
Thanks for you help,
João Azevedo

sometimes wiping cache and factory reset will help :good:

Well, the first thing I did was a full wipe. I´ve already flashed different ROM with ODIN, so that won´t help (unfortunately). I manage to dial, I simply have to turn my phone and I´m able to use it... And when a button of confirmation appear in that area also do that or use the rotation locker app to force Landscape.
But I´m sure there must be a way to put all the touching with the accuracy and precision of the keyboard... The difficult is to find it.
Thanks anyway for the ideas.

My kaiser tytn ii gone crazy

Hey guys, i looked all over for an answer before posting this here , but no luck.
This is what´s happening, i have a kaiser tytn II which i had problems, was going extremely slow, i removed some apps that i had installed including tomtom and same thing, so i thought about the soft/hard reset, i did it, and now......its crazy, i can´t use the touch screen, example : i want to enter my pin code and when i press number 6, it only presses number 2. its like the whole thing is messed up and the theme is really ugly, grey color . I thought maybe i could install a new firmware with a nicer looking and might solve the issue, but i don´t know where to get it and how to install it. Could someone help me how on some tips please ?
Thank you so much in advance

Maybe if you start sharing what rom are U using My advice is that you definitely should flash another rom or reflash your stock rom to solve the issues you are experiencing. Please read the sticky of how to do it
you can reset it to factory settings (the ROM you last flashed that is) by this method:
press and hold the two upper hardware keys next to your call end and call button. While pressing and holding them do a soft reset. A white screen with blue text should come up. Press the green call button and wait for it to reach the screen after the percentage screen. Then press the green call button again and it will be like it first was out of the box (or when you flashed a ROM).
Kaiser tytn II
The soft reset that exactly what i did and that´s what screwed up my kaiser , i am going to re-flash it , i will look on how to do it and will have a try.
ok, one slight problem, i have a macbook all i find is for pc

You'll either have to create a partition and install windows on it or flash via sd card. Link here to get you started:

hardware keyboard lag

hello i'm using the official latest rom from the HTC site...i have a problem with the hardware keyboard...what happens is that when i'm typing, the characters take too much time to appear on the screen and many(almost always) times characters are missing and i have to retype them...when i bought the phone it had hyperdragon III and the problem was the same but without the part "characters missing"i have tried 5-6 other roms and the problem is still not solved...does anyone know how to fix this?i am 99% sure that there is no hardware problem from the keyboard cause that would mean that some certain letters in the keyboard are broken...but in my case it happens on random letters every time...thanks in advance!
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try the speed increase .cab in this .zip
The hardware keyboards are notorious for going wrong on Kaiser.
thanks for the advice...i installed both cabs and then did a soft reset...the difference is not big and the lag keeps going but the characters missing issue got a lot better...stil not perfect...thanks so much...
That's cool glad it helped, good job you got a Tilt or your keyboard would be messed up as the other .cab is layout for keyboard Like i said the Kaiser is notorious for the keyboard gettin bad, mine i have about 5 keys i have to stomp on with thumb
really starting to feel like i have to get rid of this phone...it has so many good things but sometimes i forget i have a phone and feels like i have a really old crappy pc which freezes all the time...maybe it's the time to buy an HD2
HD2 would be nice "mind you think i'd get a Rhodium for keyboard", i use Raphael as no contract still better than Kaiser especially now have me own custom ROM rockin away
yeah i know...the keyboard is why i bought the kaiser from the first place...i had a samsung f490 and i couldn't stand it...everything was touch...i had to press a combination of touch buttons to answer a call!imagine me driving my car and trying to answer my girlfriend on the phone...so i traded it for a laptop and bought a kaiser...the reason i am going for an HD2 is because it's the fastest...i wish they could make a keyboard version...that would be really nice!
also have the lagging button syndrome! sometimes letters missing, sometimes duplicates and other times it hangs and makes 3messages full of a single character, so frustrating! now my 'g' button is broken and 'n' and 's' also dont work. but at least i have the screen keyboard to use! otherwise i love this phone! better than any other brand!
the problem is that this isn't a hardware problem...it's software for sure...sometimes the phone freezes...i'm pressing the same button like a million times and nothing happens...at that time the touch controller doesn't work either...and after some time like 5-6 seconds the phone is accepting input again like normal but with lag and with characters missing...i recall that the cabs provided solved the problem...maybe it was a coincidence or something...if it was a hardware problem i would buy a new keyboard and voila all fixed but that's not the problem...many times it misses my touch commands and even more times i have to press the power button to put the phone to sleep state and then press it again to wake it up in order to let me use touch commands again...really nice phone but not for me...i will go buy a practical phone with 60-70 euro which never freezes and doesn't even have wifi or bluetooth but at least i can type a freaking message without have to try 5 minutes to write 160 characters...i use messages a lot...like 2000-3000 messages every month and the full keyboard was the reason why i bought this thing...now it will be the reason to sell it...

[Q] Screen sensor bug. Please help

Hello,
After a month of using Note, I take the bug, that make device unusable. Touch screen press themselves, without of contacting of my fingers in the left bottom corner (near button 'z' on screen keyboard). And it become more and quickly.
But this problem have the "solve": when I connect the phone via usb and charge it, bug falling away. But if I disconnect, they return.
I try a lot of roms and kernels, but problem have not solved.
In the program "Multitouch vis test" i find that sensor take pressure in pixels placed 1108-1109 y and 95-120 x coords. So, maybe I can stop processing of touch sensor in that rect? How can I do that and can I do that at all?
Maybe charging let the screen sensor to be less sensable? Can I do this via programm (or kernel)?
And I don`t understand is it the problem with screen sensor or usb?(usb module is mush sheaper).
Sorry for long thread and bad English.
Thanks in advance, Giggsoff

Maybe you can try this and this
Thanks for links, but it don`t solve problem.
I record video, with my phone. May be it describe my problem

Just saw your video.
Looks really weird.
How long does this bug exist? From the beginning?
your sensor is very sensitive
I got that after month of using (two weeks ago) when playing "Order & Chaos Online", or maybe I start notice that. In the bottom right corner of screen (in landscape orientation) the button, that mean fire, was located. So I press it fast. But I get massages "select the target" when I don't press any key.
I was in hospital, when I notice problem, and it didn't falling away, when I connected the charge. But when I back home, connect there phone to charge it is disappeared. I mean, that it was result of my operations (I open the phone and clean, reinstall os), but it was only because I had connected the phone. Now, I try to use S-Pen, cause it lock touch screen, but it's hard and don't a way out. So I am going to return the phone. It's hard, because I am an international buyer - from Germany to Russia. Intresting thing - when I open my box I see, that on charge was words in Russia (maybe cause in it )
It's going crazy
Returning it back is a good solution, I think.
It's definitely a hardware problem.
Ok, thank you. I will do it next week. Sadly lose that amasing phone for a month or longer, but I shall have to do it.
When I had returned my old Galaxy S it just took 10 days until I got it back, so let's hope the best

touchscreen some points not working

hi guys i just bought a captivate from a friend and when i open the keyboard...the keys u,j,n, full stop ... are not working is it a digitiser screen problem?? or a software one??
any solutions to the problem???
If the same keys are not working in portrait and landscape mode, than it is a keyboard (software) problem.
If the same spots of the screen do not register touch in any app, then it is the digitizer (hardware) problem.
do we have any custom keyboard in which that area can not be put to use???
That's not what he said.
Do those points on the screen (where the keys are that don't work), work on any other app? (ie go into the web browser, load up a random page, and try touching the areas that didn't work and see if you get a response. If not then it's the screen. If it does work then it's the keyboard. Swift 3 or w/e worked with my cappy, so you can try that if you want.

If you want a root procedure, refer to the technique set forth by the XDA user Abhiraj4u.. It was a major breakthrough..

Any update on this? My phone started doing this and I'm not sure if it is from an upgrade or if something broke. Same deal; j n u don't work.
I'm running cyanogen 10.1.2 now and I enable the "show touches" on the developer screen. As I slide my finger from left to right, the vertical line stops moving and then two lines appear, and then it goes back to one line past the dead spot. Look like there is a region about 1 cm (1/2 in) that is a dead zone where the input doesn't work. It is dead from the top to the bottom of the screen.
This is on a captivate i897 that was upgraded from 2.3.5 gingerbread to cyanogen 10.1.2.
Any ideas?

[Q] Note 4 after Root not calibrated anymore

Hi XDA Forum,
I have a problem with my Note 4. After i Rooted the phone my touchscreen doesn't work anymore. It started when i restart the phone and i couldn't type my code for the sim. With the pen it works fortunately but not with the finger touch. If i am in an App the touchscreens works sometimes correct sometimes not. But in the screenmode it has a deviation of half a centimeter. I've tried anything, also completely back to the initial factory settings but nothing helps. Is there anyone who can help me?
Greets,
Herman from Holland (sorry for my bad English ).
What model phone do u have
