t3238 3g digitizer problem ?

Gday .. just got a touch 3g from ebay, I think its a clone =-( .. anyway the problem im having is the screen calibration, slide bar does not work properly, it does not click where you tell it to, you might input letter R but it will give you a L or a H or something totally random, even trying to just press a icon it usually selects the wrong icon, miles away from the icon you tried to click..
do you guys think this sounds like a software or hardware issue ?

So anyone have any clues as to wether the rom could cause this jumping touch screen issue or would it definatly be the digitizer its self..
Dont want to order a new digitizer until I get advice from a few of you good people

have the same phone T3238 clone from china, had same problem out of the box, did a hard reset, re-ran the screen calibrator and make sure you touch the center of each x correctly, installed Resco Keyboard and much better now.

how did you do the hard reset ?... just via the settings menu - master clear?..
i have tried this, cant work out how to do the hard reset via buttons though, different method to a origional htc 3g

My phone is HTC T3238 clone from china,
the cover and battery it named (hty)
and i have same problem for side scroll bar of left + the volume it too low ..
I can not find any solution for that, unfortunately,
my device it run under english rom of windows mobile 6.1 + fm-radio but without touchFlo
I need to upgrade it to wm6.5 or any new rom with touchflo.

need digitizer
I have HTC Touch 3G clone from dealextreme. On third day display stoped working. It reacts only on top corners. I can't find a digitizer because it's with connection on right upper corner.

I have the same phone. I got everything working but installed the GreateVK & FreePK SDHC cab, now I can't get the microSD card to work anymore. I wish I could remove things using the uninstall. I'd like to upgrade to 6.5. I still haven't got the 3G working yet. I'm about to contact AT&T, but I doubt they don't know and leave all that up to the Chinese.

In case you are talking about the 3G technology provided by your phone company, please note that this phone you bought does not support 3G. "Touch 3G" is just a name, not a feature, no support for 3G. For now, 99.9% phone from China does not have 3G.

Hey, Martoka, good news.
Try "keepingtouch.com". This site have the part that you search. A hug.

[App] Yay my first app called SmartLock 0.1

Hi all!
Ive been taking stuff from the XDA-Dev Community for a long time so I thought while I learn C# Programming ill post my Apps up here (as a means of giving something back and having a fresh supply of guinea pigs heh heh heh). Anyway this is ver 0.1 and i am a beginner so use with caution.
Also I only just finished it so I would like to hear about feature requests if possible. ANNDD i made this using the Samsung SDK so i dont know which fones it will work with i doubt it will work with HTC as it uses the light sensor (the only thing used from it). So if someone wants to share with me the code on how to read the HTC light sensor (get the Lumens) then I can make it dual compatible .
Anyhoo this is the point of the app: I dont like to lock my phone with the password all the time as i usually listen to MP3s and I dont like the fact that my fone (i8000) sometimes unlocks the screen on receiving a message or email etc. The worst thing is when youre walking and happily listening to your MP3s and then suddenly you hear beeps from your phone as it presses against your leg!
If i lock it i have to put a password on it if i dont lock it sometimes the End Key gets pressed and turns the screen on or some event on the phone turns the screen on and then you have to dig it out your pocket and the Sleeve of the phone and close it again.
Maybe its just me but it bugs me very much.
So what this app does is when the screen is turned on in low light surroundings it presents another lock screen. As im not very good with graphics (i dont even have a program icon ) etc its just three buttons. The first is displayed at the top, tap it show the second and then the third and then it becomes unlocked and you can use it as normal. So next time you receive a message it wont be bugging you that your fone may be making a phonecall or typing gibberish to someone in your address book and so you can listen to your mP3's in peace.
Attached are screen shots of the proggie and the CAB file to install.
Please give me Feature suggestions and other App suggestions im hoping to be fluent in C# before summer is over.
PS: Im testing the app myself so im not sure about battery life etc. I didnt use polling of the screen power state rather i used the Power Notifications and the message queue method.

Looks cool, I would test it but I have a HTC phone so I cant . Just one question, how would you go about handling this in the dark, will it just lock or is there some way to quickly switch it off on unlock?
Also, if you want some buttons made, pm me I am a graphic design student and would have no trouble doing it for you

In the dark the three buttons will appear on the screen and you have 10 seconds to press them. Once those buttons are pressed you can use the phone until you lock it again by turning the screen off (not the full Pass Code to lock but just turning the screen off with a quick press). This way if you turn the fone on in a dark room you still have the ability to use it. However if it accidently turns on in your pocket the same three buttons are shown but after 10 seconds it will turn back off.

Ok thanks well if you find a way to port it to HTC I would definetly use it.

Its not so much a major port I just dont have an HTC Device to test it on and the only thing i need is the api to get a value from the light sensor if you can find me that i can put an HTC version in one second .

Through the power of search
I hope this works for you http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/07/htc-light-sensor-sdk.html

I need an app like this, my wife hates it when my HD2 pocket dials her. If you can make it compatible with HTC I'll be all over it! Nice job!

Interesting stuff! I'll be updating this. As soon as it's HTC compatible, I'll be testing it

Very interesting.
Hoping to see an HTC enabled version soon

how much ram does it take?

Sorry for the late reply folks,
Im checking out the API now for HTC but i dont have a device to test on so I will post different releases and hopefully from feedback from you guys I can correct it. Also I will be fixing the "Object Disposed" exception problem from the Omnia though i dont have that to test on anymore i sold it but i know where the problem lies UPdates soon thanks for all the replies its nice to have the encouragement.

We HTC owners appreciate the attempt!

Solution for:HTC Desire back button (and others) not working good after a while

Dear all,
I'd like to share a solution with the global HTC Desire community to the "buttons not working properly" issue.
My problem was that after a few months of use, some buttons of my HTC Desire began to not be as responsive as before.
It started by the "back button" and then the "home button" ; I had to push harder on it to get it work.
I saw several topics on this subject and no one proposed a solution that was really working.
Some people were saying that it was a software issue but as I had changed everything on my Desire since the first day I got this issue, I was sure it was hardware related.
I was about to follow the disassembly tutorial on youtube to have a look at the buttons more accurately but my father proposed to use a "moisture remover" before.
The product is this one but I'm sure some equivalent can be found:
MicroCare MCC-DC1 - VeriClean™ Flux Remover - 10 oz Aerosol Can
Basically, from what I understood, it helps to dry the parts where you use it (might help also from swimming pool issue...).
We turned off the phone, and used it directly on the buttons, trying to get the product inside (the buttons are quite loose so it was definitely feasible).
I turned on the phone 1min later and I'm still very impressed of the result.
Every button are now working properly (no need to press harder) and they react like the first day I got my phone. This is is very impressing and for all who might have the same issue than me I'd like to see if it works for everyone. It seems that my phone got wet some day (which doesn't surprise me at all) and the wetness never left, messing with the buttons.
Let us know if I'm right !
Cheers !

So, is it still working?

Thanks for the tip. Had the same problem with my year old Desire. I just tried this with some PCB & Flux cleaner from Maplin (£3.99) and so far it seems to working much better.
Will see how long it lasts.

hi all
same problem here
do you think that crc 2-26 will do the trick? http://www.google.it/search?q=crc+2...=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CC4Q_AUoAA is it similar to what you used? i meanm is it a simple electronic pray (yet "liquid") contact cleaner?
i'm a little afraid of using that on the phone... i tried compressed air but didn't work
thanks
luca

Thanks, i got this issue with the volumebuttons

Hope this help to my phone's volumeUp button.

Me too struggle to get it to go into recovery.

I'm based in Sydney, Australia
Following your advice I found a similar product in a Auto shop
I bought a can of Contacts Cleaner, non conductive, plastic safe and leaving no residue
AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY
THANK YOU SO MUCH

boot into fastboot (back & power)
Code:
fastboot oem gencheckpt
or from system
Code:
adb reboot recovery

My back button is starting to die too!
Will definitely look into the solutions posted in this thread!

I had this trouble and found an app called 'Button Savior' which displays an icon on the screen that when tapped displays a 'strip' of buttons onscreen (Home, Menu, Back etc)
It requires root for full functionality and as I am rooted I don't know what functionality it would have for un-rooted phones.

say it also works for the volume button? if I do not crush very strong does not work ... it is for what?

It has Home, Menu, Power, Back, Phone, Search and Camera buttons.
There is also an app callled 'Volume Widget' which allows you to put a widget on a screen to turn up or down the volume for Call/Music/Ringer etc.

tried it and it stained my screen....streaks shooting up when white

Man, your father is a genius. It worked perfect for me, got myself a KONTAKT LR spray (easier to find in switerland) which does the job at 100%, my back button is working perfect now, the volume button is also like new. Thank you guys.

Yes !

Yes ! It really works!
I have a HTC Desire brown and my Home, Menu and volume down buttons were barely working.
I used MicroCare MCC-DC1 - VeriClean™ Flux Remover - 10 oz Aerosol Can
because the suggested product above is not available here in Belgium.
I removed the back panel and the battery. Then carefully sprayed some flux remover on the malfunctioning buttons, waited a minute and done!
Thanks so much to you and your dad for sharing this solution !
I can really recommend it to everyone with this problem.

how you that.. i too facing same problem.

screen far too sensitive?

New member here, first post.
I had my g4 several weeks ago (uk version). Great phone, however recently the screen seems far too sensitive. Sometimes apps or other features are activating on their own without me pressing on them.
I looked in the settings but havent found a way to resolve this. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Just to clarify a bit more about my issue.
Its like the "floating touch" some phones have, where i can be an inch or two away from the screen but it still activates. More rarely, it seems as if it was activating by sensing light or movement. Strange. Is the g4 supposed to have this type of function?

That sounds like a problem. The G4 is actually known for lacking sensitivity and yours is doing the opposite. enable this settings to see if it is actually detecting ghost touches.
Settings, About Phone, Software Info and tap on 'Buidld number' 7 times. Then go back to settings and tap Developer options, enable 'Show Touches'
if the dots show without your intervention, then it's likely due to faulty touchscreen.
Anyways, do a factory reset and see if it helped.

Does reset solve the issue? , happening on mine right now. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks

Same here, on Imperium and Stock rom, I have the phone since 6 months and it is a really random issue... my bootloader is unlock so I don't know if I can send it to warranty.
For information I have enable the touch "tracing" in developper menu, and when the issue occurred it's getting me perfect vertical line from bottom to top screen, and open a lot of apps..

And from the sound of it... Yours pretty much ****ed, at least to my knowledge. Hardware screwed and no warranty. Just bought mine like 3 weeks ago, and hated it so much. So much hyped, but the experienced is so far ****ty at best.
I suspect mine hardware issue. This seems like it's gonna be the first, and the last LG for me. Even mine with warranty still intact. Blackberry used to give this feeling long ago with their ****ty storm. Now, LG and blackberry can share that same ****ed up grave.

As madgibbon indicates, I was on Accessibility / Motricity / Response time (my phone is in french so i'm not sure if it will be exactly like that on yours) and I have set to "Long".
Since that, the issue is no longer appear, I have also switch to rom V20F (Turkey) with still the same setting for accessibility, and I don't have the issue anymore.
I don't know if it is a hardware issue, my phone falls maybe 4 times but with a case and from a little height, no broken glass or something else.
This is all the things I tried before that ;
Using flipcover (QI charge and quick circle), I have tested the "normal" case but same issue
I had a glass protection, I have removed it and cleaned my screen, same issue
I have done lot of hard reset (i'm kind of full wipe addict), same issue
Only the solution of madgibbon works fortunately, thanks mate
I'm also a bit disappointed by this phone, it is great sure I mean fluid, great camera etc... but I have some little issue that ruin the experience unfortunately (this issue with touchscreen, i'm experiencing issue with my Chromecast too that i don't have with other phones, some heating, I don't find the battery usage so good since MM, can't relock bootloader since now). I don't blame LG because i'm using some of their products and I'm / was really satisfied with : Optimus 2x, Nexus 5, TV, Monitor, Sound Bar. Anyway, waiting for 2016's Nexus and I will see if I switch or not.

Screen problem after all, just picked my phone up from the place that I bought for under warranty fix, and they told me they did replace for a new screen, and all is looking fine and dandy for now. Hope it stay this way, finger crossed. 3 weeks purchased and already this problem. I doubt this thing will last.

Works brilliantly, I live in UK, and have to use the quick short maker app, must have for stock roms

Installed them all, played about with them all, only one I kinda like is the recent apps one, but even that I'm beginning to get a bit sick of now, pretty much the same experience of when I tried it on either my S5 or S7, that also got uninstalled very quickly

The new task changer is so good. If you quickly switch between the 2 recent apps by quickly double tapping there's no lag whatsoever. Old version had a little hiccup!

Yea I liked it too but my muscle memory has gotten used to swiping left/right to clear recent apps and was constantly doing that instead of swipe up/down, so have reverted back
Think I'm stuck in my ways tbh, at least with Samsung, same reason I cannot think of anything I would like to use the Bixby button for, so it just sits there useless, maybe with a different manufacturer's phone I could change my habits

Use bxactions!! I use it and if you give it increased control just by following the instructions (involves plugging into computer). It's so good because I've programmed it to launch google assistance, pause music, flightlight etc.

This is the last versión 1.0.00.27?

Like I said, I can't think of anything I would want to use the Bixby button for, I don't need another button for anything
I know about bxactions, I tried it (buggy) but even still there was no action I wanted to map that button for
Maybe if I lived in a cave it would be handy for the flashlight...

It's pretty buggy if you don't give it full control or whatever its called. Involves plugging in computer and executing a file on phone. Cause otherwise it launches bixby for a split second and is pretty annoying. And for the flashlight, sure you don't need it all the time but it dos have its uses once in a while. The better features for me is pause music, skip song and importantly launch google assistant instead of bixby

Yea I executed that file with adb and the phone connected originally, I set it up via the instructions but it wanted to do something other than I told it to
The button is just in an awkward place for me, I press it whenever I pick up the phone, or press the power button, they've placed it in such a position that they get a load of stats saying it's being used 10x more than it really is due to accidental presses, similar to when Microsoft changed the X close button to OK Accept for upgrading to 10 and claimed it was a mistake
Above the volume up or above the power key would have been a better place, somewhere you only press it when you mean to
If I map it for flashlight or anything else I'm gonna get sick of constantly accidentally launching whatever I map it to
Maybe in 12 months when the novelty of a new phone has worn off I`ll start playing about with it but quite happy to have it do nothing atm

I never had the chance to try this on my S7, so it's a breath of fresh air on my S9. Trying everything now to see what I'll keep. So far the lockscreen options are nice indeed.

True, the button is very easy to press, i have a case so less of a issue for me. Yeah i would root my phone but the disadvantages that arise greatly outweigh the benefits

Good lock has been officially released for the US galaxy store

Will it be available in the EU too?

Hopefully it will be, it's a good app, best for custom without root, the other apps are good also, the newer edge lighting has more effects, and also a routine app, one handed mode + and edge touch which I not used yet.

Thanks for the links! After installing all the apps I found that I preferred the way Samsung gave me my device!
However I've still retained one hand operation +, edge lighting plus and quickstar. The rest of the apps didn't seem to attract me much.
Thanks again!
Cheers!

I really like it, bit more customisation is always a good thing.
I got the "Badlock" version here which doesn't need any other apps to be able to change settings etc. - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/lock-lock-2018-8-0-devices-t3804657
