Screen Only Responds With One Kernel - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My SM-N920W8 (Canadian) has been acting up lately. No matter what I do the screen only seems to want to work with SkyHigh MM Kernel or on some roms with Arter97 Kernel. I have restored it through Kies several times; however, every single time the screen becomes unresponsive. It only works with Stylus.
Any idea why this may be? Currently I am running the ArnieMaster Rom with Artner97-N7 kernel. Which seems to be the best combination thus far, but it is still very choppy at times.

[Q] Touchscreen Problem with ICS Roms

I have installed different ICS roms to 3 different i9000s. All of them has touchscreen problems.
Some parts of the touchscreen does not react to your touch sometimes. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen. I have tried different kernels etc... No go. It really annoys when you are dialing a number, writing a message etc.
And interestingly no one mentions about it at ICS Rom and ICS kernel threads. Can I be that unlucky to have the problem on 3 different i9000s (They are not from the same batch, each one is bought from another part of the world, at different years).
I would really like a solution or suggestion. Till now i have tired different kernels, different ROMs (mostly ICSSGS (different versions), and Dark Knight (different Versions)). I even tiried diffrent schedulers and governors.
Peace.
That's weird, I have used SlimICS and have never had TS problems... Are you sure you flashed everything right? Please explain the way you've done it
with one phone installed team icssgs as it should coming from the stock , other phones back to stock with odin than cf root and flashing the roms after wipes factory resets. the usual flashing procedure....
Try flashing the team hacksung base first, afterwards flash your desired custom ROM. That should do it.
could you try to explain the diff. between flasiing without cm9 or or with cm9. whar would
be the difference at the end?
I don't exactly know why this is needed, but I would assume that TeamHacksung or CM9 have some frameworks included which are perhaps missing in custom ROMs. I'm just guessing, don't really know =/
Have you tried it? For a CM9 based ROM, flash CM9 first and for a TH based ROM, TH first
Hello,
Have you checked if the Problem still remains when you are on Stock ROM?

no i havent but it was working just before i flashed icd.
also i have 2 more phones with the same problem. So it is not my phone malfunctioning.
In ICS-333 from you can turn on show touches in developer options in settings menu you could see if its registering your touch immediately or at all. The browser is the only place I've experienced touch lag though.

Hey I got ur prob and I know what causes it, it not a bug, its dirt or water on your screen that causes the prob if u keep the screen spotlessly clean u don't get it

I have activated show touch before, it does not register your touch at all. also I have tried cleaning it no go, since this is happening with 3 different phone, i doubt it is dirt etc.

I know what causing it. It a bug where dirt or water or something gets on the screen and because the drivers on ics is so sensitive it picks it up, try changing sensitivatiy or keep that screen very clean

i have the same problem. its very frustating. never happened in gingerbread. only on ICS.the bug happened occasionally, the funny thing is it only affect the first row area of the screen. (lower left altheway up to upper left corner), it doesnt register tapping on the screen but it still register swiping from outside of the area..., like ussual i need to lock and unlock again to make the touch working again.
I have installed GB back and problem is gone? I am out of ideas anyone?
Flashed back ics bug returns, flashing jb same thing.
Exactly the same problem here
With Stock GB everything works fine, with custom roms the right side of the touch screen doesn't react. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen.
This is interesting this is far more than i anticipated anyone with a clue?
same problem here. my screen was working when i bought it (obviously). it was froyo then. the touchscreen problem appears when i upgraded to custom ICS rom. the middle part of my touchscreen does not respond to touch. none. nada. although the rest of the screen seems to be responding to touch so far. turning the screen off the on again temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. i put back a gb rom, the problem was gone. i was thinking maybe there's a different digitizer driver samsung put on their stock gb roms. it's really annoying.
any more ideas? should i replace my touchscreen digitizer?
Yes it's really annoying :crying:
What is different between stock gb/froyo and ics/jb custom roms that have such an effect on the touchscreen?
I will try the app SGS Touchscreen Booster to decrease the screen sensivity, maybe it helps
never heard of this problem in all the time i was ics.maybe time for some jellybean

[Q] Severe Wake Up Lag (4-8 seconds)

Hey guys,
I have my Note for about 7 months now. The last 4 months I used a ICS nightly rom (can't quite remember which one it was).
Everything went smoothly, but some day the Note started to take a while to wake up. Did not make a difference if powered on by home button or by the power button. I thought this was an issue of too many apps or something. So I wanted to make a clean new install. So I did everything in the normal procedure (wiping everything, install new rom etc.)
So now I tried the Rocket ICS, the Rocket JB and currently the ParanoidAndroid roms, but I still experience this enormous lag of 4-8 seconds when waking up. I tried the Abyss kernel 3.9 (which didn't work with the ParanoidAndroid rom, I guess b/c of the new mali drivers). So I tried a kernel with the new mali drivers, currently the JellyBeer kernel. So the rom booted fine, but still no change to the wake up lag.
So right now I just don't know what the problem is and how to fix this. The lag most often appears after the phone rested for a while. Also changing the cpu governor does not change a thing (ondemand, conservative, performance, and so on)
I hope one of you guys has an approach or a solution to this problem, because this is getting really annoying.
Thanks in advance,
MCSCHMIDD
No ideas?
Additional info: that lag does NOT appear when I have the phone connected to my PC or a power outlet, only when running on the battery alone. Switched the battery yesterday, seemed to work fine again. But after recharging on the power outlet over night the lag appears again.
Any ideas guys?

Weird stutters with any ROM I flash

I have this VERY frustrating issue, hoping someone can help. I just got a replacement Note 4 because my first one had faulty GPS hardware. The new N4 I have has this weird stutter, every couple of seconds it will stutter for half a second or so. You can see animations actually frozen in place for that half a second. Every once in a while the stutter will be several seconds and everything just locks up, but this is only occasionally, the other stutter is pretty constant.
I've flashed Dynamic Kat, I've also flashed it back to completely stock NK4. I've ensured I do a factory wipe, wipe Dalvik cache, complete format, etc etc in between flashes. I still get the stutter no matter what, and it's BEFORE I even install any apps, accounts or settings.
Just to add to the weirdness I installed CM12 nightly build last night and there was no stutters at all, none, not even a hint. BTW CM12 is a LOT faster than any N4 rom I've flashed, it's an amazing ROM but missing too many features to be usable at this time.
So is this maybe an issue with NK4? That's the only thing in common that I can think of. Anyone else?
I have the same issue. It impacts the keyboard as well
Flash AEL Kernel make sure it's the 6.1 version the 6.2 doesn't work for some reason.
I had the same problem, with the kernel flash it went away.
I'm sure you have done this but just in case, check the animation setting in dev options and set all three to .5 . In your kernel settings app get frequency logs and see what's up. I use the 6.2 with no problems with dk4. Try odin then back to stock then repeat. All else fails return device if you verify it's faulty.

[Q] to lolipop rom users

Hello guys,
I've been testing all lolipop roms that had listed everything as working. Such as crDroid, CandyRom, SlimLP. On every of those lolipop roms pretty much most of the important stuff worked. There were stuff like equalizer not working or too dim notification LED, but from time to time I got touchscreen freezes. I mean I could use phone for a couple hours and then the touchscreen would freeze really often, sometimes it froze for couple of seconds and that was it and sometimes it could last for 10 minutes. This is really annoying and unacceptable if developer says that the touchscreen works.
I ended up contacting crDroid developer - davidteri81 and he said that the touchscreen works fine for him. I asked in the thread and I got only a single response saying he doesn't have this issue, but the sensivity is too high.
I've tried like literally 4 lolipop roms on my Z1 and each one of them had those touchscreen freezes. I even ended up flashing liquidsmooth in which I didn't had this issue, or it just didnt had the chance to happen since most stuff doesn't work there and it isn't usable as a daily driver so I quickly got rid of it.
My question here is:
Do you get touchscreen freezes? Please reply only after minimum 24h of usage. If you don't have any touchscreen freezes on lolipop rom on the Z1 then please, tell me what Lolipop rom do you use as I couldn't find any that wouldn't have a buggy touchscreen.
Please tell me if it works for you without issues or do you also have this issue on the Z1 as I'm puzzled because it couldn't be just me since I did a full phone wipe, flashed the phone clean, even wiping internal memory, but it still happens and I cant find a way to use any Lolipop rom everyday on my Z1. The more replies I get, the better.
@olokos: I'm on CM12 official and use it now for many days. In this time I never faced any touch freezes on my Z1.
I've got some other "bugs" that confused me a bit and make some manual fixes like Wi-Fi MAC. But for me I can say that this ROM is really stable and I use it as my daily driver.

Same for me, although, the touch screen did freeze once, but I locked it and unlocked it and it worked again. It's probably hardware since I got my Z1 replaced because of this issue that even happened on stock ROM occasionally.
using CandyRom 5.0.2
I never faced any touch freezes issue
@olokos: I'm on 20150214 and now I've got touchscreen freezes. This is the first time for me on Z1.
But I think that this could be a global Cm12 issue, because my Nexus 7 also get some freezes and I thought that something is wrong with my fingers or tempered glass.
The problem is how to debug this?
im on candy 5 and my screen dont freeze, but my screen percieves touches from nowhere... but only if i have earphone plugged in .. thats more than just annoying
anyone has the same prob?
sry for my really bad english
Touchscreen freezing issue definitely isn't hardware issue on custom roms. I haven't tried CM12 or any other apart from those listed on XDA, but I will propably build some lolipop rom from source by myself if I get enough reports that will be useful for me. If touchscreen works for you then please, tell me what rom you are using and for how long you use it, what't the way you flashed it.
I only need those 3 things. If touchscreen doesn't work just for me then I'll build my own stock based rom based on Sony sources. I just have to make sure that the touchscreen issue isn't just on my side.
All I need is:
Do you have touchscreen issues? Yes/no
What ROM/Kernel you are using? CandyRom 5.0
For how long? 5 weeks
Answer those 3 questions, legitimately and I'll consider that. I'm not sure If I'll have enough time to work on this, so please, be honest with your answers because I'm not going to fix the touchscreen, or maybe I will if it doesn't happen for everyone.
I experience dramatic touch screen freezes as well since the first time I installed Lollipop nightlies. (4 weeks now). Tried clearing cache, factory restores, de- and reinstalling apps. Reflash kernel, format SD, reinstalling gapps, puzzeling at logcat logs etc. Nothing helps. Random freezes from seconds till minutes. Only thing that 90% of the time will help is keep pressing powerbutton until screen becomes responsive. It happens more when I have a lot of (hangout or whatsapp) notifications, or when trying to type something (stock keyboard). Tried other keyboards: no luck. Tried every toggle: WiFi , Bluetooth etc. : no luck.
I experience dozens of freezes a day. Almost to the point that cm12 is completely unusable. Love this ROM, but this is a real showstopper.
1. No
2. AOSP Vanir 5.02
3. Since first availibility (12/14)
I experienced this issue on 2 roms in 2 forms
1. No (coming from Stock 14.4.A.0.108)
2. KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] / iHackers advanced Stock Kernel
3. Since installing the Rom
This was the first time i experienced touch-issues. Not a freeze of the screen, but the screen sometimes started registering touch-events on the wrong places. This was temporarly fixed by locking/unlocking the display.
1. Yes (coming from KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] )
2. crDroid-5.0.2-20150303-honami / 3.4.0-crDroid (packaged with rom)
3. Since installing the Rom a day ago
This time i get freezes. And they are much more frequent than those "ghost-inputs" from KitSlim_AMG. Unlocking the device also fixes it temporarly.

Having some touchscreen issues

Bought my One Plus 3t almost 14 days ago.
I am running latest freedom rom with xceed kernel.
This annoyance has kept going on intermittently. I noticed it when I'm on calls , but it still happens when I'm not.
I'll turn on the screen, use fingerprint, it unlocks phone, soft buttons work and UI responds, but the screen itself, won't respond to any of my touches. If i turn the screen off and on twice, it will begin responding.
WTH right?
Edit, def happens when i'm on a phone call way more, just happened twice while on the phone with OPO. could it be my glass screen protector?
anyone?
Never had that. You can't really do much warranty-wise unless you can replicate it with the stock ROM, as it could be a software issue (though it's unlikely).
Never had this. But I've only been running stock until 4.0.1 and from there clean Lineage OS with stock and Boeffla kernel.
