hi my friends..
I have bought my captivate but I have an issue about home button and sometimes to back button.
When eveything all right I using my captivate but suddenly home button starts fllicking .. flicking and 6 last app pop up opening.. and that isnt stopping until I touch any buttons .. also sometimes back button working itself and turning back the page.. but imposible one is home button flicker itself :S
my captivate has 2.1 eclair.. maybe 2.2 froyo fix it ?
please help me about this issue how do I fix it
Your capacitive buttons are playing up. Mine does this when there is high humidity and the like. I've heard people on the forums have dealt with it by using a blow dryer gently or placing into a bag of rice.
Perhaps open it up if you are handy and give the capactive areas a good clean?
thnaks your opinion but I dont want to open it for now if anyone know how to fit it instead of replacing it please help ( if 2.2 fix it I will donwload it ?
Try This
Hardware issue, not software or firmware
Hair dryer and/or bag of rice will remove moisture causing issue
Swap out phone for new one
I was read someone upgraded phone and fix it
Don't believe this is a hardware issue. This started happening to me immediately after flashing Perception, and it has persisted for weeks.
Lots of people reporting it, but no definitive solution.
so what can I do instead of replacing
My search button was randomly activating itself many times a day. After I flashed the paragon 5 rom it hasn't done it again even once.
Sent using XDA App
ımm I hope after the flash to fix it
I've been having the same problem since flashing Paragon 5. Even with 6 I'm still having the problem, I do believe it is software based. I've noticed it gets considerably worse when the media player in on/in the background.
I have this problem. I find if I hit power button and weight like 3 sec before swiping the glass lock, the home button wlll not flicker. Not sure why. But it works. Still really annoy would like a fix.
this is not a hardware issue
it is caused by the way the services.jar functions. which controls the bottom lights. some roms have the back lights on/off/different variables which is why people are reporting this with different roms.
Still no resolution to this? It's becoming more of a problem. I honestly doubt it is due to moisture...
Agree on being software issue.
I flashed Paragon 6.0 yesterday. Now I no longer have this flicker which is a problem with both Andromeda and di11i's rom.
OP never did post what ROM he is running.... So dunno if it is software or hardware related based on info provided so far.
What ROM are you running? Stock? 2.1 or 2.2?
Also.. have you tried the rice idea? It will get rid of moisture and won't hurt your phone. Worse that happens is you've had your phone in a bowl of dried rice and nothing happens
If you are running a custom ROM - try either re-flashing the ROM or flashing back to STOCK.
Also how many apps are you running? I would check your app list and see if maybe one of them went wonky on your and try un-installing it.
If none of that works? Take it back to AT&T - the lights down in the bottom shouldn't flicker unless you wanted them too. I know the only time I've seen that happen is when I pooched a ROM flash and had to restore it.
Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my touch screen. It works fine most of the time, except, when I tap the same area many times very quickly (like when I'm backspacing a whole message), that par of the touch screen eventually becomes unresponsive. It becomes responsive again once I turn the screen lock on and off again (the top button). I've read a few threads around with very similar problems (not on here I don't think).
I replaced the touch screen a week ago, but I've only noticed this today, so I'm not sure whether or not it's related.
I'm just running standard LG software and haven't put any third party stuff on there (apart from apps). I've done a full reset using the update utility, and using the hidden menu, but this did not fix the problem.
Here's some details about my phone:
Model: LG-P970
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35
Build Number: GRJ22
Software Version: LG-P970-V20C
Please let me know if I should provide any more information. I'm just interested in knowing whether it's a problem with the touch screen, or the phone's software.
Also, I'm new to forums and what-not, so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know!.
Ok, I've realised this is in the wrong category. Was bound to have done something wrong - won't happen again!
Thanks
Hi there,
Tell me please, does the same happen on the touch keys (menu, home, back, search)?
Also, do you have any screen protector applied?
I have said this few times in other posts..iIts a strange bug, like the touch being lost.
Its fixed easy by locking the phone, thus shutting down the screeen and touch sensor. After few seconds unlock the phone and check if it is solved, or do the process again.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, sorry I've been away for a while.
It doesn't tend to happen on the home, back, etc, keys. It tends to happen mostly near where the backspace key on the keyboard is. It happens in other places, but it takes a lot more to trigger it to happen in the other places. (by trigger, I mean if you tap the same spot heaps when writing a message it starts to happen).
Also, yes, I've applied a screen protector. The screen protector got put on about 10 hours after the new screen, but I can't for the life of me remember whether or not it was doing it without the screen protector.
Yes, locking and unlocking the phone does fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain doing this a few times when writing a long message.
I'd really like to know if anyone can tell me whether replacing the touchscreen will solve the problem, or if its to do with other hardware/software. I've since started using the CM roms and it's still an issue.
Cheers.
I have a touch-screen problem with my LG P970 (CM-10 stable)
Hi,
I have been using my lg p970 for more than 2 yrs however when I installed cm10 stable i my phone it works fine for some time then touch-screen does not response properly. When I touch in one corner response comes from other corner, especially while typing when I press one key 2-3 other keys are also pressed even though the keys which are press not even close to each other. I have install another keyboard from market this has reduce some misbehavior.
Please any one has a 100% solution to this problem please reply.
Thank You.

No solution yet, but lets gather the resources!
Another one
I'm with one of these P970h, the screen/digitalizer is cracked but works ok, I tried updating to CM10, the touch/soft buttons stopped working (they light up), also tried official 4.0.4, no luck, then the original 2.3 carrier modded, perfectly working! came back to 4.0.4, dont work anymore...
For me it is rom related...
for now I'm using NavBar with 4.0.4
Any ideas?

My main reason for reverting back to 2.3.4. Usually occurred when receiving a call; I couldn't answer or reboot the phone. I had to pull the battery every time.
I'm not aware of any fix, save reverting back to a GB ROM.

i think its hardware issue,,if i press and hold a little while on upper screen (right beside lg logo) touch screen became normal again. but sometimes need to hold on there when touch not work again. a member on this forum call it a flex issue of the touchscreen.
anyone know how much cost to replace it with new flex to fix this issue?

If it works with 2.3.4 and not other versions, it's a ROM issue. Changing the screens probably won't help.
This loss of touch was reported by many users, and it's always a 4.0.4+ problem. Something software-wise is crashing, or there's a driver bug.

So when i bought my Z1 it was on 4.2.2 firmware. Then i updated it to 4.3 and i never had any single problem with it, so no bugs at all. At that time there were a lot of people complaining about touch screen problems but i really never faced any.
Then 4.4.2 came, and problems with it as well. First of all battery drain, my battery was 40% wrose then with 4.3, and i started facing some touch screen problems. Usually after i enable my 3g and start surfing the net touch goes nuts and uncontroled. Also when i was typing usually only left side of my screen was buggy, for example when i type letter A it is shown as D or S or even F, and sometimes it's stop working completely, i mean only very left side of my screen.
Couldn't resist anymore so i decided to downgradd to 4.3 .290 (coz it was wroking so perfectly and i never moved to .136 coz i head there are some problems). I did that with FlashTool and i thought everything will be as before and i will be happy again. But guess what? Touch screen problems started popping! Hmm i thought what now? So i decided to upgrade to .136 as it was offered with a hope that it will fix issues. But ofc nothing happend and i am in a problem.
I even found how i can produce these touch screen problems. I turn on my 3g and start a game Clash of Clans and after few mins my phone goes crazy. Then i go in "Sketch" program and i drow a straight lines from the top of the screen to the bottom and "lines" are not lines at all, it's crazy.
So i would like to try to repair my softeare with Sony PCC but it's not possible coz there is a new software update (4.4.2) and i wont update that.
What should i do in order to get rid of this problem, im pretty sure it's software related. How can i repair it? I should fash with flashtool again?
Recieved my mi5 yesterday and used it for about 15-20 minutes (just playing around with MIUI), turned the screen on and off multiple times but suddenly the screen wouldn't turn back on I rebooted the phone (hold power button) but nothing happend when turning it back on.
the capacative buttons and charging LED works as well as volume up and down (I can hear the volume change sound). After about 4 hours it suddenly worked again and I thought it was fixed (it was not), I booted into fastboot and unlocked my device but when I try to turn it back on the screen was dark again, and after several hours it still doesn't work.
There are other people with the same problems but I don't think anyone has been able to fix it.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, did you fix it? I thought I'd should mention it anyway.
same problem..no FIX !!
Few months ago I also received a 32gb device and had exactly the same issues you mentioned. First with MIUI and locked bootloader, then unlocked and tried 3 different Rom's, MIUI 7, 8 and Lineage OS. No difference.
IMHO a common hardware issue on some devices, mine has a LGD Display. Meanwhile I got another one, which is working fine, but have this faulty one still here, for spare parts right now
Would help if someone could state whether this issue is screen or motherboard related, so I could maybe replace parts and use or sell.
Sometimes it went completely off, no capacitive buttons, no volume sound, no reboot possible. But battery not empty. Had to disconnect battery or wait one night until it would respond again.
Also observed less black screens in warm surroundings, had more problems being outside in winter.
yesterday my mi5 died with this problem...
hope the warranty over tradingshenzhen works fine...

Want to share following with people who experienced also blackscreen issues with Mi5:
lately needed an identical Mi5 device to recover some apps from another device and decided to try with this "damaged" one from last year. Fastboot flashed Miui9, then wiped, installed latest TWRP and LineageOS 15.1. Did my backup/recover tasks. Then I just kept using the phone, because I was curious how long it takes until the blackscreen issues would appear but they didn't.
Device is working without any screen issues now since a week or so Seems like new firmware has fixed something, at least for my device.
I am having touch screen issues with the phone after some time of it sitting in place,its becoming super unresponsive and i have to restart the phone,i have tried flashing xiaomi eu,china dev latest,but i was having the issues even with latest xiaomi eu.

same here, i tried almost every ROMs from Android 6 (CM/MIUI/ASOP) to Android 7.xx (MIUI China, and RR...)
The touch screen will suddenly have no response until i force rebooting the phone.
However, it seems hardware-related issue, i had found the touch not work while entering TWRP (the ROM is not loaded yet).
Next step, i will try to teardown it and re-assemble to see the method works or not.

hi, i tried to teardown my phone and re-connect all connectors, but the touch screen will still be no response after a while.
does anyone have any other idea?
Its probably hardware problem, as i don't stay long enough in recovery to notice the issue or unable to notice it because all you do is press and not a lot of swipes, and another problem is that its almost impossible to buy a new original oem screen,all those sellers on aliexpress claiming to sell new screens in reality just sell a refurbished screen with very low quality, it looks like the old saying "if its made in china its
sh*it" is true, yes most phones are Chinese but they are older companies, better engineering, more experienced, yes issues like this also happen with them but a lot rarer, but here it looks like 10%off all sold phones have problem, some same as ours some worst, and i was typing this for so long, i try to type one letter, another one is pressed or none at all ?
Have you tried flashing Stock ROM ? If you don't then please give try.
earlier versions of TWRP had this issue but only in TWRP. Now it's fixed. And some devices doesn't support such custom kernel and causes problem with nav button.
So first flash thw stock rom and see if the problem exist or not.

I am currently on stock global beta firmware and still facing the same issue, no root not costume recovery and still facing the same issue, now i almost sure that its a hardware problem, like many other users that face it ?
Okay you can post this one to MIUI forum. Try submitting an issue there. Hope you'd get some solution.
I don't think there is another solution other than changing the screen, but thanks anyway
i thing this is the hardware issue, anybody can detect the problem?

While the touch screen lose response, you can press middle part of mi5 (i.e. the connector) vigorously without shutdown the phone. And then, you can find the touch screen will work again. Therefore, in my case, that indeed a hardware issue.
FYR

Can you explain this better? I have the same issue, if there's a way to fix it without reboot I want to try it, but I don't understand where/what I should "vigorously press"...
For your reference.
I had touchscreen problem at the beginning when I received it from Gearbest in 2016. It would take much time to send it back and forth so I decided to flash it with a newer Global stable rom (I think I was Miui7) by myself; after that, the problem was 95% gone, (it still happened sometimes but not severe). Lately, I cable updated it to Miui 9 Global Stable and the problem was back and severe.
I TWRP installed Miui 9 Global developer Rom - not working
TWRP LineageOS 14.1 - not working
There are no points to use LineageOS 14.1 if the touchscreen problem is still there.
So I TWRP cleared data and cable-installed Miui 9 developer Rom, and The problem is completely GONE!!!!
Maybe you could try some of the steps above.
I also change my charger from 2V to 1V output after installing, and only charge it from the wall socket. (I used to charge from the extension ones more)
I only installed necessary apps at the beginning then gradually add more.
Hope that would help!!
