Hello, I have a problem.
Left-top corner of the screen, when my phone is awake, is acting like someone put a finger on, and taps the notification bar and holds it like that, and my phone won't respond properly, until I lock phone and unlock it again. But then again, that thing happens again. Sometimes it does not happend, but most of the time, it's happening, And it is irritating. Sorry for bad explanation, I did not know how else to explain. Thanks.
Known as ghost touch.
Also caused when phone is hot, search a little bit on forum.
Only fix which is temporarily, is lock/unlock phone or restart

I've had issues with the screen since I got the device. Typing on the keyboard, or tapping any buttons, or drawing, the line is very inaccurate where it shows up. In order for it to work I need to press enough to flatten the tip of my finger so the surface area is about a 1cm diameter circle, and the point it makes is random as to what side of the circle it seems to appear on.
I wasn't certain if it was my phone, or me, or what until recently. I bought this generic pogo capacitative stylus (DX sku.23061). I tried it on my phone and it didn't work. I had to push down extremely hard to get any response, so much I was worried about scratching the screen. I was just writing the problem off to the stylus, but I just tried that same stylus on my friends HTC Touch Slide. It worked beautifully. No pressure required, just the corner of the stylus and it gets perfect accuracy.
Is this type of thing going to get better going from 1.6 to 2.1? Is it just a **** phone? Did I get a lemon? It's hard to simply tap a single icon on the home screen without the one next to it being tapped instead.
Yeah, I tried a stylus too and it was useless for me on the Zio, bit I do not know if that will change with the update

I wouldn't imagine it would change much from an update. Capacitive is mechanical, and is only as good as the screen itself.
My phone has zero issues with the touchscreen display. calibration is bang on (within 1mm).
I'd suggest to RMA it or swap it out if you have a protection plan-- sounds like there may have been some defective products released.
I'm having the same issue with the touchscreen on this phone. I have been posting in several posts about a few issues I've been having but it seems either i'm posting in the wrong areas or i'm invisible in the post altogether.
I'm new to posts and its all confusing to me, I am slowly learning how to get through them, and i've been reading the hell out of just about every one on here for this stinking junk phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer and smash the thing and just buy a real phone that works.
Sounds like a defective touch screen. Hope you have a warranty or protection plan :-\

BTW
If the general public isn't aware, if you have your device plugged in for charging (USB or AC) your touchscreen will not respond accurately.
I'm not sure why this is, but it's something to be aware of.

I'm still noticing some touch screen issues that were present in the old firmware. For example, I will hit the power button to wake up the phone, and the slide to unlock wont respond until after several attempts. If it does respond right away, it will unlock and then the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive. Happens several times a day to me and this is the second Zio I have had since the phone's launch last year that has done this. Also if I have a screen lock pattern, that will not respond either, but as soon as you touch "Emergency Call" it responds to just that. It will always clear up after a couple tries, but it is very annoying and resetting the phone doesn't help either.
How much memory is free on your phone?

the only thing i have noticed with the lock screen if you halfway unlock it and let go that the unlock slide completely disappears and its only happened once. putting it back to sleep and waking it back up brings it back.
My phone usually runs with 30 to 60 MB of free memory. It's done it before right after a reset I don't believe it has anything to do with memory.

I also am running with 60MB free space, I have the XDA app and the 2.3 launcher running.
I wonder if there is any way to increase the available memory, it would definitely do the phone some good. Perhaps a custom rom about 50MB in size would help.

So, I downloaded and launched it perfectly... everything so far i tried is working fine except the lock screen... Some times when i press the Cancel key the button lights lid up but there is nothing on the screen and sometimes it appear the lock screen but nothing happen....
Do someone have any solution to this...
Thank you.
I have the same problem. I have been reading that possibly going back to an older kernel / roofs fixes this problem but have not seen and confirmed reports.
Can anyone confirm this and what version?
Thanks
Same problem at me. Both builds are running very fine for some tine but after that are running slow.I don't know why. Maybe is somehow related with the lockscreen problem?
I have this problem as well i get lucky if i manage to move passt the lock screen and the OS runs really slow it takes like 20 seconds just to open the app screen and the app screen laggs like no to morrow how come so menny ppls can get it to run just fine but i cant it makes me sad face
+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...

For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look.
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!
Thanks
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:
- Turn screen off via end button.
- Turn on screen via call button.
HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.
Screen does not turn on at this point.
- Turn on screen via call button again
- Screen comes on with HW button lights
about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger
Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen
When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.
Thanks!

my screen never wakes up
end up using soft reset to windows mobile
(it could be something to do with startup??)
Hello i just bought the phone and i noticed the following when i tap the device even if the phone is off i can feel the vibrating device spinning.
Is this common for all devices or is there a problem with mine?

Well, no, it's not normal!
Can you explain in more details?
Yes, when i tap the phone or i shake it, it's like the phone vibrates. I mean it's like forcing the vibrator to spin...

That's not normal.
As a friend said, it's like there is a spring moving inside the device...
Change the "vibration intensity" setting and see if that helps at all...
Settings->sound->vibration intensity (bottom choice)

It's not about the vibration settings. It happens even if the phone is switched off
If I tap my device, I can hear a very, very small noise--something a bit more than the noise it would make from just the tap itself. This, I presume, would be the reverberation from my tap, caused by the vibration mechanism.
If you tap your device and can then feel your device vibrating, I would suggest taking it back. If it's enough to notice, it's probably not right. Although common sense should work wonders for diagnosing this problem (or lack thereof).
I also presume that it's a reverbation from the vibration mechanism. But I it's enough to notice. It's a bit less noticable than the real vibration...
Your phone is defective get it changed from samsung!

Their is a little bit of a vobration in every sgs when you tap it but you are saying that phone actually feels like its vibrating then its weird!

It was like that on mine too, but after a few weeks of usage, such vibrations disappeared.
I sent the phone back. I could feel the vibration with the phone inside the box and wrapped...
I can feel mine too. It's not as strong as a real vibration but oticeable, like a feedback.
Does your vibration work?
I think too that it is normal. When bored, I keep taping on my sgs just to feel this small vibration and although I keep doing it perhaps too often, vibration still works ok.

totally normal, it vibrates a sec when you turn it off
i don't know is this a good question or stupid question,but i realised that my xperia sp's touch screen is awesom, i don;t know this may b a fault or a option in my phone. have anyone tried this?? ->
it doesnt happen all the time,it happens sometimes when we dont need this,then i can't even type a messege.itz annoying sometimes. but i tried this few times and i saw the magic .this is how i figured it out. ok i took my fingers near the screen, but i didnt TOUCH SCREEN. keep it away from 1mm and move my finger slightly near screen without touching it. in few tries i will saw a white circle on my screen right down where i kept my finger.i think screen detected my fingers heat without touching it. then i can do everything without touching screen, white circle moves where i move my finger and click where i stop. all this happend automatically, but i realised that this is not fault, because if screen can show white circle when i do it, itz something in system. please anyone tell me what is that?

Now there is another long topic on freezing, but its basically about 10seconds freeze , then things normal and stuff. Mine is different so I made a new topic.
Have sprint note. On Marshmellow now but happened on Lollipop as well.
The problem is:
After several hours of use, or may even a day, the phone just freezes....partly. Let me explain. Basically if you touch anywhere on the screen, it won't register the touch. If you hit the hard recents button, it'll show recents, but you can't click any program (it doesn't register your touch). When it first happened I thought I needed a new screen, but quickly found out I probably don't: If I hit the nav bar, it will pull down full screen, and if I have it full of notifications, I can click any of the notifications, whether its near the top, middle, or bottom, and it registers the touch and sends me to the app. But then again, at that app, the screen doesn't register. Even if I touch in the same place on the screen where I clicked the notification that sent me to the app. But the nav bar still works. It recognizes the touch, and will pull down full screen, and I can click anywhere on the screen and my touch will register. Also if I hold the power button and the reboot options come up (which on mine has option from top down to bottom, I can click any option on the screen, and it will register my touch. But if I hit the home button, the whole screen is non responsive. So I have a partial freeze. The whole screen doesn't work, but then the whole screen will work when I pull the nav bar down, so im totally confused. I already tried usually differnt launchers, but same thing, after while, screen will be non responsive
If I reboot then everything works fine and normal, so I doubt its a screen issue. Because if its broke its broke. Also tried a hard reset,problem still came back. I guess it may be an app clashing problem but I have over 100 apps it could be any one of them
Has anybody experienced something similar?
I had a buddy give me an LG Lucid3 that had a similar issue... It actually got worse over time and the touchscreen totally stopped working. (He thought) I took it apart and actually the connection was good. Put it back together and just kept rebooting it multiple times in a row. Finally, the touch started to work a little an for some reason I thought to go and download an antivirus program. The phone had 11. Got rid of them and phone has been working fine for a couple weeks now. Idk if that's your problem but I figured I'd share this experience because I've never seen anything like it.
