In the last 6 months I started to have random problems with google search. It keeps hanging and I can only close it by gesture, swiping up. Going back after a search to search something else is not working. After, for example, searching for a keyword I swipe from side to go back, it does nothing. I can still pres on results and it works, but not to go back. And after 5-10 seconds I see the execution of the back command. It's very frustrating because it's happening quite often. I uninstalled the app, I cleared the cache, it still does it after a while.

Hello everybody,
I was doing a lot of research on this issue and was using the search function of course, however I was not able to find a fix to the problem I am experiencing.
I have a Samsung at&t captivate with cyanogenmod 10.0 installed.
The problem:
Lately I experienced strange touchscreen problems, where it seemed that my phone did what it wants to do. Opening google maps zooming in and out, opening other apps and it even called a friend one time. All that did not seem to follow any pattern, it was more like someone randomly touched on my screen.
What I tried:
After doing some research, I booted to recovery and deleted the cache and dalvik cache. After I rebootet the phone everything seemed alright, except for when writing a message, some keys "p" and "?" where not working.
So I rebootet to recovery again and did a factory reset, and installed cyanogenmod 10.0 again. Everything seemed alright at the beginning, but when I clicked my way through the welcome process, I noticed that the "p" key does not work again, all the other keys though, especially the ones in the bottom right corner, work just fine.
And here comes the problem: On the next screen "Google & location", I can not press the ">" button to proceed in the bottom right corner!
Do you think it is a hardware problem? What is against this is, that the same spot where the ">" button appears, works fine on the other screen, when I enter my Email adress.
Every kind of help is very much appreciated!! Thank you all in advance!
Best,
Moritz

I'm thinking you might have to go back to Stock KK4 and start fresh. If that doesn't work, it's most likely a hardware issue (humidity perhaps). If it comes down to that, take apart the phone and put it in a bag of rice for a couple days. Now if that doesn't fix it, you might have to get a new screen
I'd add bad screen protector to the humidity/hardware list. the key is that it keeps recurring in the same place on the screen. if you rotate the keyboard 90 degrees, does the p key work?

This has been happening the last few days, at least once if not twice daily, but I will unlock my phone to find out the Google Voice Keyboard is frozen with no way to force close it and block the bottom half of my screen on EVERY screen. The only way to get it to go away is to power off the phone and power it back on. This is getting very annoying since it happens so often.
Sometimes it appears out of nowhere, sometimes it is after I use voice typing. I have used voiced typing in between and it opens and closes fine. It seems very random.
Any thoughts to get it to stop?
Without doing anything myself, my Moto X 2014 has almost reset itself whilst I was asleep.
The first warning was no notifications, there's always an email or two, but then it wouldn't let me pull the quick settings down either. The phone wasnt using Smart Lock, in fact most system settings were reset. I figured something might be wrong with xposed (however, it's been running for months with no change, no updates to Android, xposed framework, or modules) so I updated all the modules and rebooted, still nothing. For some reason I went and switched to guest account, then switched back to my account and I'm now able to see notifications I missed and use phone almost normally. But my settings had reset and after setting swiftkey back up I see "Predictions not available. Check SD card." so typing is a pain.
My home button isn't working either, it flashes but doesn't do anything. The back and multitasking buttons work. Holding home button brings up Google Now on Tap, but it doesn't take me to home screen.
What could have happened? Is my storage knackered? Its not near full. Just to be clear, all my apps remained installed and logged in as far as I can tell. Only SwiftKey and the Home buttons remain as a problem.
Edit: Bluetooth devices also reset, wasn't connected to car stereo.
Edit 2: reinstalled swiftkey and predictions came back. Rebooted and they went again! Home button still not working.
Edit 3: Installed CatLog and when I press home it says: Not starting activity because user setup is in progress. So it thinks I'm trying to do first time setup? My accounts are already there (one of the settings that did remain).
Edit4: Ran
Code:
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
as root (use su command) in terminal emulator and managed to complete setup... Home button works now and SwiftKey predictions seem to be working after a few reboots.
I hope that never happens again.
I originally posted this on I don't get to post links, so I can't link you to the reddit post. You can search my username on reddit if you're super-curious.
Since that posting, I let my phone sit, off, for the entire night. Turned it back on, and continue to experience similar issues.
In summary, the issue is as follows: After booting up the phone, I have roughly 2-4 minutes of "uptime" before Apps start freezing, failing to respond. This includes the SysUI app. If I jam the "home" or "tab" button on the bottom of the phone enough times, I am sometimes given an "x app is failing to respond, kill it?: Wait; OK"
If I choose to wait, it doesn't get better. If I choose to kill any of the apps, not just SysUI, the screen goes black, but the phone is still on. Sometimes I can power cycle it with the "Power Off" screen button, sometimes I have to do a hard reboot.
I tried installing Phone Doctor as one reddit user had recommended. It froze before I could see much, but I did notice the CPU was running at 97% which seems abnormally high.
Have you factory reset?
My kids HTC corrupts some system app data randomly every few months and I have to either painfully start cleaning the multiple offending apps cache or just factory reset.
No idea if this is a sign of failing as card or if it is just some app citing multiple apps data.
Starting this evening around 5ish my phone has suddenly started freezing, every app I open "stops responding" and eventually just goes to a black screen with the navigation buttons at the bottom, but the buttons won't respond when pressed. The whole process from startup to complete freeze is roughly five to ten minutes?
I've booted into Recovery mode and wiped the cache partition, I've uninstalled any new apps that I've added this week, I've cleared the caches for Google Play Store/services.
I can't even get into settings to do much of anything because it freezes too and won't respond.
The phone also seems to be running kind of hot?
Any ideas please? It's a stock Blu R1 HD, no root or anything.

Being that you are not rooted, the only option to try is factory reset from stock recovery. And if that does not help there is nothing you can do.
