[Q] Buggy keyboard after downgrade - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I'm new to this whole thing, however I managed, with some help from a friendly guy on the IRC channel to get my device rooted. First thing was to downgrade my firmware as it was too high (1.84) to 1.34, I think. After this downgrade I noticed that the keyboard has become buggy and the WiFi not working.
I then flashed a new ROM (wiping first etc) built on firmware 1.85. The problem with the _Keyboard_ persisted, the WiFi issue was now fixed. Then I installed CM 7.0.3 (wiping first etc) and it works wonderful, however the keyboard issue still persist...
What I mean when I say the keyboard is buggy:
It's only a few letters to the right of the keyboard, and I think the keys are, I, K, M, L, O and P. Sometimes it will not react when pressing the key other times it will print out the letter TWICE. The problem persists in caps lock mode, but IS NOT an issue when being in FN / ALT mode (Special-characters-mode)
I did not drop the phone or anything, and have never-ever experienced it like this before. But I felt this bug like 5 minutes after downgrading...
I really do not hope this is a hardware issue.
Regards

My home button is not functioning.

Okay, so I had the g2 for a little now. However, I just recently rooted it. I used visionary r14, and eventually got s-off. I then downloaded ROM manager, and tried installing cyanogenmod 6.1.1. The installation didn't give me any errors, and when it was finally done, everything seemed like it didn't work, as if I had just done a normal factory reset.
I had assumed nothing changed, I didn't even have the superuser app installed. So then I tried going back to my homescreen and it wouldn't let me. The home button is not working. I can use the other three touch sensible buttons, but the home one seems to have been disabled. Would anyone know what could have led to this, and more importantly how can I fix it? For those curious, yes I still have s-off. Is there any way I can remove it, if only it would assure my home button would work again? Thanks in advance.
If anyone has any form of information at all, it would be extremely appreciated.

I'm running CM 6.1.1 Stable on my G2 (just a couple weeks old) and I've noticed that my home button doesn't work sometimes. It works about 95% of the time, but then it will do the occasional hiccup where nothing happens. If I touch it a few more times it will eventually start working again. Not sure what it is, but I read in another thread here that it could have something to do with how the CM ROM is configured for capacitive touchscreen sensitivity. And I believe I read that this has only been reported in CM and not other ROMs.

Does it completely not working??, delayed maybe??

Had this issue yesterday. I did a factory wipe from Clockwork and reflashed CM. Fixed it.
even iam facing the problem, but i guess mine is worst as the all(4) softkeys doesn't respond, but when i press it, i receive the feedback i.e it vibrates.
2nd issue: my physical keyboard layout is pretty much messed up, the symbol key which i press on my keyboard doesn't display the exact symbol
it would be kind if someone offer some solution for this
Rom: CM 6.1.1 (even tried nightly build #85)
Build: HK
P.S: i never had those problems in the stock rom
I'm having the same problem with CM6.1.1. I noticed it after installing Twidroyd app. I couldn't exit it via the home button...had to back all the way out. Uninstalled and still having the problem. Doesn't seem to be working at all now.
I had this sort of problem with my G1, I flashed the BiffMod ROM and some day, the phone just randomly did a factory reset, the background is set to how it was when I first flashed it and the home screen was back to normal like how it was when I first flashed it. My home button would not work, when I pushed the end call button to put the phone in sleep mode, it would turn off but if I were to press it again,the screen would turn on but it didn't go to the lock screen it just turned on. To fix it I went into recovery and wiped all five(I'm using Amon_Ra's recovery on it) then I booted back up and my home button worked again and when I put the phone to sleep, it turned back on like normal with the lock screen. That has happened a few times, some times when I did the wipe, every thing would start working again and my home screen still had everything placed where it is suppose to be. You could try to wipe everything, but I can't guaranty it because I don't even have my G2 yet so this has never happened to me on a G2.
i wiped everything data / cache ,flashed GingerVillain 1.4 , the softkeys won't work even in this rom, the only place where softkeys work is HTC's Stock rom. iam just wondering is it due to my build, as its Hong Kong build, so there is a possibility that the keymap for softkeys are different?

Xperia Pro need help - fxed -

Hi,
I have a Xperia Pro mk16i which has been rooted succesfully, bootloader unlocked and installed cyanogen 10. No problem. I have a swedish/finnisg xperia pro with the physical keyboard that comes with and in cyanogen 10 I was happy to see that I had options for the physical keyboard and I could keep the swedish/finnish keyboard layout.
Anyway, I got a new phone now so I wanted to sell my Xperia Pro and so reflash the official firmware. I've done so, I just didn't find ANY firmware (official) with the swedish/finnish keyboard layout.
After 3 hours of searching, downloading, flashing and reflashing again I'm not only fed up but my phone seems to have serious problems.
1- I don't seem to find a way to have the physical keyboard to have the correct layout again, I know there's a solution on this forum but it requires root + CWM and I don't even know if I still have those.
2- I put my SIM in trying to update through PC companion, thing is it doesn't solve my keyboard problem but also my 3G internet connection is not working at all !!! It is activated but there's no internet at all. Even the network connection icon in the top status bar doesn't change like it should to show that internet is connected.
So, at best I would like to completely erase any trace of rooting or anything else I could have done and just reinstall the original official firmware for my SWEDISH/FINNISH phone. Is this possible ? Or am I doomed to use some tricks to have that keyboard working again (+ 3G data connection) ?
I don't know if I'm asking this properly but keep in mind that I'm no pro in phone hacking, even though I had no problem rooting, unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom.
By the way, I don't find any options in my phone for the physical keyboard layout. And I'm 100% sure that with cyanogen 10 I had that option, and I'm quite confident that option existed before when my phone was running the official firmware (before I flash it to custom rom).
Thanks for the help !!!
EDIT: problem fixed so far with wotanserver.

[Q] Wifi freezing even after os changes and hardresets

Hi there !
My Xperia S has been quiet slower ever since the problem appear, the wifi wouldn't turn on, button just freezes trying to work.
I have changed several custom roms and kernels and nothing worked sometimes a normal factory reset let the wifi work for 1 day (I thought that this will exclude the hardware problem ?). I know the tricks that consists into wiping the data\misc\dhcp directory but this won't work neither; I really can't see what is wrong; do you guys have any idea ? So if hardware though i don't think it's that wich piece is it ? (i've taken evrything out of my phone cleaned and reassembled but nothin made it .. :/ ) and if software, which firmware is the right one ?
(by the way XDA is just great)
Thanks

Tab S 10.5 (Verizon SM-T807V) screen-only freeze

So the tablet sometimes loses touchscreen function. The physical buttons work fine when it freezes, it's just the screen that gets completely unresponsive.
The physical buttons work fine when it freezes, its just the screen.
I don't remember facing this issue in Lollipop, only in Marshmallow. Reseting didn't help.
This issue is similar to this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/tab-s-vzw-loses-touchscreen-t3037140
Same problem with my 807R4. Will be in the middle of something and the capacitive buttons and screen stop responding. Tried restoring all available firmwares thru Odin and problem persists. I'm wondering if it's a memory issue? This tablet is a pig with RAM! I would like to flash an AOSP rom to see if it's a memory issue unfortunately my model is snap dragon based and there is only 1 working recovery and 0 custom roms.

Haha across this and my starting doing this as well. I was even thinking of looking for a broken SM-T800 model and swapping the motherboard so I can use ASOP.. but idk.. might not be worth it...
Use the shortcode to access the firmware TSP settings for the touch screen and ensure that all parts have the same build number. If not tap the general update button and it should fix the mismatch.

What is the process for this?
Apparently very common. Have the same issue with my wife's SM-T807R4, the US Cellular version. Also seemed to get worse after MM update. Rooted it a couple days ago and started disabling or deleting the Samsung bloatware but so far it hasn't done anything. One thing that did work, though only temporarily, was clearing the cache with Titanium Backup. After doing this (and it took several minutes), I was able to surf the web (with Chrome) for over 30 minutes without it freezing. However, it started freezing again after a while and now is back to freezing every 2 or 3 minutes. It will however play an entire 2 hour movie without locking up so it definitely appears to be related to the touchscreen.
Update:. I think this may be a hardware issue. I booted into TWRP recovery and had the screen freeze. When booting to recovery, there's not much if any of Android loaded. If it was software related, I don't think the screen would freeze in TWRP.
Udate? Samsung nor Verizon offer update!

Zuk Z2 Plus Touch Freeze

Hello Guys! I recently started to notice a very odd issue on my zuk z2 plus. I currently am running AospExtended ROM V6.4 (Android 9, Pie) with magisk installed. But this problem started before magisk was installed.
What happens is when i unlock my phone, after a mere 2 seconds, the touch absolutely freezes. I mean the screen is on, hardware buttons (U touch, Power & Volume Rocker) work, and i can even receive notifications, which means the phone is working, but the screen is not? If I turn off the device (Not Power Off, Just a tap of the power button) and unlock again, the touch resumes, but only for 2 seconds. This can be done infinitely. Reboots, shutdowns, forced power off, recovery etc all seem to go in vain, though some lucky reboots can save the day. Also, if I unlock the phone and then open google in a flash and start typing anything, it sometimes works and the touch resumes. This issue also persists in Safe Mode. ​
My issue is also very similar to the one seen here :

Forum : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/help/touch-issue-t3708645
Keep in mind that I faced the same issue on my previous rom, Resurrection Remix v6.0 Oreo. I can always provide additional information if anyone wants. If anyone has faced the same issue, or has the fix to this, please do tell me as it is very difficult to manage.
Did you change something in root partition. I had the same issue in msm xtended when i deleted some app from system but after dirty flash it was solved.

No, I did not do anything, also, the issue persists in safe mode too, so that means no 3rd party app is causing it.

It could be a rom issue, try posting it on rom thread. Sorry i may be of no help.
have you tried to QFIL to latest zui and observe if the issue persist in zui as well??
Same problem here. Never rooted my z2, don't even have twrp installed. Always have been on 2.5.104 ST rom.
Really frustrating issue caused by Lenovo. Will ever avoid any Lenovo devices in future.
****
Same problems happening with mine too
I think that my hardware problem but now i guess its every one problem slowly
As a matter of update:
I got my z2 repaired locally. Service diagnosed short-circuit failure of the sensor. Nasty /really wanted to use another word here/ production quality by lenovo. Cost me around $60.
