My optimus 2x becomes frequently unresponsive to touch although the screen is still visable. Sometimes the back button works. For example it always happens when I enter the Bluetooth connectivity screen..... so I have to go back to main screen then re enter the connectivity screen numerous times till the screen becomes responsive to pair the device. But to be honest it occurs randomly all over the place. I'm just wandering .. is this an Android problem or just an issue with the optimus 2x. Is there a known fix. PS not sure if its connected but Google navigator GPS hangs unless I reboot phone only then will the GPS follow me onscreen. I would love to be able to fix these problems this weekend as they are becoming hard to live with ESP the GPS problem as I have to do emergency home visit to people in the community.

From what I understand you're running LG stock rom rider right now?
As it has been said a thousand of times in this forum, LGs stock rom its prone to all sorts of bugs. Lack of responsivness is one of them, probably due to bugs in the included kernel and framework.
If you really want to stick to the standard look and feel, there's a rom out now that has this and a lot of fixes. Else I would recommend you to take the usual CM7 road for full stability and compatibility.

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

@xsenman;
I did that couple of times going through Advance slim setting. That didn't change anything. Now I'll try this as well.
I change touchscreen into chainfire sensitive option in semaphore app. Still lagging.
Tried over clocking to 1200 but it freezes and automatically reboots into recovery mode. I can use only after changing to default

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.

So your sgs touchscreen working fine on stock gb rom! It might not be a hardware problem then. We have similar problem, only difference is I have problem on GB too. I've even tried stock froyo, same story
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
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
Hi all
I recieved the Update to ICS on 2. July. I was very happy about it and it is really great. But I recognized 2 problems:
-Preformance is not the best
and
-the touch doesn't always recognize more than 1 finger.
What I did to fix:
I tried a hard reset and it fixed the performance, but not the touch.
When does the bug appear:
Often, but not always. Sometimes it works fine and then it doesn't work properly
When I play games, some games needs to tap at varius points on the touch. When I fast tap then the touch doesn't always recognize any fingers. With 1 finger, the touch works fine, with 2 fingers, it doesn't always work.
I attached a link to show how the touch doesn't always work.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4910238/IncSTouchbug.mp4
I started the thread to find other people who have the same problem. At the moment I'm writing with the htc support, and I hope that I find more people who has the same problem, so I can give him the link and they try to fix that annoying bug.
i hope I'm not the only one out there and we and HTC can find a fix.
best regards

Hi MrToastbrot. I have the same issue, after getting OTA 4.0.4 update, from HTC. I noticed the problem early, so I've been searching all over the web to find some solutions, but couldn't find any.
Please write a message, if HTC Support does give you some useful information about this problem.
Best regards
Luckyone.
My Incredible S acts similar, if it is touched by 4 fingers - then fingers on screen are detected "jumping", like in video. That continues even when only 1 finger is still on screen, but ends when nothing touches the screen.
I would post a link of google ''android issues'' page, but I can't because of ''Spam protection''.
The thing I wanted to say is, that this problem doesn't only concern HTC users, but it appers on, for example, Galaxy Nexus with different android versions too.
One guy wrote : ''I've heard people claim its something to do with the digitizer losing calibration when getting hot and that locking and unlocking the device recalibrates it.''
Still waiting for solution.
Edit : p.s. yeah - factory reset didn't help it.
Edit2: ....or it did? Right after factory reset, i tested the multitouch - it still wasn't working. After I downloaded some apps, I decided to test it again, just in case, and it seems to be working now. .
Edit3: It seems, that the theory about digitizer getting hot is true. A minute after I plugged my phone to charger the multitouch stopped working properly. Sad. Well, I guess we will have to wait some updates from HTC, or put our phones in a fridge or something.
Cheers!
ALMOST Solution found!
All we can blame is HTC Sense. You see - when you unlock the phone, the locker(sense locker) does something to make multitouch not working.
When you go to the ''Apps'' menu in ''Settings'' and Force Kill HTC Sense(the one with green HTC logo), touch screen starts working flawlessly again.
After you lock and unlock screen again - it won't be working.
The thing is - I'm a bit afraid to disable Sense permanently.
Let me know if this work for you guys.
Cheers.
Edit : Force Stop ''HTC Sense'' with launcher logo too. I'm really confused, because I can't understand what Stock Launcher has to do with multi-touch issues...
Nice, so we have only to wait until htc fix this bug. But one question:
Why does HTC Sense affect, that the touch isn't working correct in games?

Solution, I think, is to do HARD reset. Atleast it's working fine now in ''MultiTouch Visualizer 2''. Haven't tried in games.
:good:
Note: This will return your device to its original factory settings(all the data from internal storage will be removed).
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the Volume Down key;
- With the Volume key held down, press and release the Power key;
- Release the Volume down key;
- Press the Volume down key twice to highlight FACTORY RESET/CLEAR STORAGE;
- Press and release the Power key;
- Press the Volume up key to factory reset the handset;
The phone is restored to factory settings.
:good:
EDIT: GOSH, I'm sick of trying every freaking thing. Doesn't work with Hard reset!!!!
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
The problem is inside HTC's kernel, so we can't really do anything about it.
And I think I will go for a custom kernel, because HTC will take it's time to fix this and realese update.
Cheers.

Any news on the touchbug yet?
I'm experiencing the same problem.
When I type fast (with two fingers) in Wahatsapp or SMS, the keyboard starts acting weird.
On a HTC Rhyme with ICS and Sense 3.6 (frow htcdev.com) everything runs smoothly. (same processor and resolution as htc incredible s).
So it's bug specific on HTC Incredible S ICS/Sense 3.6 software.
Has anyone received news yet or contact with htc about this? It's pretty annoying and I would think that HTC should issue a patch to resolve this.

The problem is in kernel, so i guess if you put a custom kernel this bug will disappear.

False. Just flashed Nik Project X v4.1 with HTC Sense 4.0.
Multi-touch bug is gone, even though they use stock kernel. I guess the problem was in HTC Sense 3.6.
P.s. ROM is working flawlessly. Best rom I've ever had. :laugh:
I'm also facing the multi touch prob using niks project x v4.0, with lost prophets Kernel

I'm getting tired. And anything I could say now is - ''What the f**k?''
Multitouch was working on Nik Project X v4.1 fine until.. I don't know really.
And now, when I want to get it working again, I randomly change some settings or force close some apps(for example ''Media Link HD setup'') it starts working again, but, unfortunately - not forever.
Trying to find solution, but can't find any.
Begging for solution... :laugh:
Peace!
p.s. Multitouch is working in some apps. For example N.O.V.A 3, but not working in other apps, like Jet Car Stunts, Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, MultiTouch Visualizer 2 etc. Zooming in browsers and something like that works fine.
can't type "P" or "0" on keyboard. dead spot on touch screen.
I can't type the alphabet "P" or "0" on sense 3.6 Rom.
and on sesne 4 rom, can't type "0" ( P is working)
With show touches & pointer location from dev option, clearly about 1 cm of touch screen is not working. (no touch show beyond 1 cm of right margin.)
take a look at pic, pls.
Because of dead spot, I can't type alphabet "P" and "0" and can't play some game like https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5lY2FweWNzdy5vbmV0b3VjaGRyYXdpbmciXQ..

Hey, first I want to let you know the wonderful news that XBMC is available for android (at it is sweet). But I've noticed that when I hook up my USB to HDMI cable to my phone, the display screen gets lag. Plays fine on the phone, but the display on the screen is pretty bad. I'm running the latest holics and tried playing with CPU speeds, still no fix. If anyone knows what to do to get the lag to go away on the big screen, it would be helpful.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you're really annoyed by them, I would advise to switch to a sense ROM
