Non responsive touchscreen

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..
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

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.

Sudden reboot issue thread/kmsg dump

Those who have the sudden reboot issue please get a kmsg of your boot process
su
cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait a 60 seconds then close window and upload, do this as soon as you boot. We need also a last_kmsg of the reboot issue if one is created (sometimes it isn't). For this just copy /proc/last_kmsg and upload after the reboot happens, if it doesn't exist then it wasn't created during your reboot. My friend @laufersteppenwolf is working on a fix for this, he thinks its due to bad sources, he already has my logs but some additional "testimony" might be helpful

The boot log is not required, only the log, recording the crash

Thanks mate, I'm gonna get my replacement tomorrow, if it still reboots I know how to reliably reproduce it. Kmsg sometimes gives different stuff, no pipe error, system bin files not existing, and sometimes no error at all. The games Modern combat 3 and 4 frequently cause this reboot, my favourite games seem to be the "control" here, damn seriously big thanks here, you don't even own the device!

and please, give me some more logs of the crashes, so that i can compare and make sure what causes the reboots
thanks in advance

Hey there i had those reboots problems on stock rom and kernel too. Started with the official update to .140.
Over a month of craziness I flashed yesterday .141 and since then not a single reboot. Ill report back in a few days if its still ok.

maybe a 3rd party app makes the phone reboot this way, hm? i suggest to try a BARE stock ROM for a while, for a day or two, what's your idea?

Which superuser app do you use? After switching from supersu to clockwork su reboots seem to have stopped. But sometimes they don't happen for a while. What I'm gonna do is use the app "root logger" to trace shell activity, maybe something I use is accidentally issuing this command, because it does it like terminal does it.

I really don't know. I just use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026918 with this clockwork http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012738 .
I use small amount of third party apps - only Messanger, some games, Llama, feedly, Total Commander and some utilities. No modifications, no tweakers, pure stock and I happily live without problems.

Problem still exists on this ROM for me. Perhaps it is a rogue app, the trouble is finding out which. If not then three has a bad batch of T's since hardly anyone seems to have this issue

New from three, only a month in, they gave me a second one, still happens sometimes. The new .142 firmware helped, now it only seems to happen with < 35% battery, so I think it relates to that. You said you had some shutdowns on low battery too right? I think on the previous firmware something really intensive like playing modern combat 4 online caused some sort of power failure, on the new one its only unstable once the battery is low. So its bearable now, once my battery is that low I tend to recharge
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I am affraid that the battery in T is big fail. It is not normal, to have such big drop in voltage (in li-on battery) on heavy load.
In full load, the voltage drop can be about 300 - 400 mV, which means when you have 3,6V (which could be around 40%) and the battery drops to 3,2V, that the phone shuts down. Android probably doesn't know that, because it isn't stable 3,2V so there is no notification.
Install Cooltool, go to advanced, custom label path, write there "/sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8921-charger/power_supply/battery/voltage_now" and select labels, custom label.
Watch the voltage when playing.
I already ordered new battery, so I will test it with new.
Btw what is the capacity of your battery? There are two - 1850 and 1780 mAh.

(help) Galaxy s diaplay turned pink

My phone's diaplay has turned pink.But when I press the home button to open task manager then the area behind recent apps dialog box becomes as it should be.
So please anyone could tell me if it could be repaired or the screen is to be changed!
Thanks in advance

Hmmm. This is interesting.
Did this just suddenly happen or did something happen to it, eg. Did you flash a rom/kernel or did to get submerged in water etc
If it did get submerged in water, its likely a hardware fault
Try flash in Sempahore GB, that has Voodoo colour, and see if that changes anything - if not, its likely a hardware fault

Follow what @Soryuu said to do. In my opinion, if this is a hardware issue (display to be changed), then you better buy a used phone as it costs equal to the display. Or you may use it as your secondary phone and buy a new quad core phone

That's probably why - when you reassembled the phone you must have also done something to the screen digitiser without realising.

Check that the display flex cable is properly seated. Or see if you can tune it out with colour calibration.

Same setting point in CM 10.x
In CM 11 it is called "color calibration" under "Other device options"

Thanks for the help but i have tried this several times.

Not really satisfying but the main thing is your display works ... :good:

Digits not showing up when pressed in call

Scenario: on call with any service center, they ask u to press bunch of keys according to which department u r trying to reach.
In my case when I'm in call, I can press the keys on on-screen keyboard and they take effect as required, however I don't see what key I've actually pressed.
Is this common issue for everyone? It's not big of a deal only thing is I need to be very sure what exactly I'm typing even then I would like to fix it, if fix is out there.
I'm guessing it will be fixed with custom Rom or an update so I'm not worrying too much (but that seems bit far fetched - due to bootloader camera issue )

You probably have Screen Adjuster installed in your phone. If you do that is the culprit to your problem.

Well I've installed bunch of launchers and widgets, few games. I don't recall installing something along the lines of "screen adjuster". Is there a way to find app responsible? Or do I have to uninstall one app at a time and try?

First, verify if it is a software issue by factory reset and/or flashing a new rom. If that does not work then it's most likely a hardware issue and the only solution to hardware problems is to bring the phone to Sony if you're willing to pay or to a black market area in your city if you wanna pay less, either way the screen replacement won't be cheap and if its not OEM quality might be compromised. Good luck

Had the same problem. Did factory reset but the problem was not solved. Unfortunately it is a hardware issue. The phone was still under warranty so I sent it to sony service center. I got it back in three days. They changed the screen and a banch of other things as well. All is working ok now.
