laying in bed talking on the phone

so i was in the middle of a phone call while laying in bed. suddenly the call was dropped. i called back and got not answer(which i feel was unrelated to this) but when i tried to hang up to call again the proximity sensor was being fickle and would fade out before i could hit the end button. finally, i sat up and it began to work normal again.
has this happened to anyone? i'm sure it isn't a big deal, but i would like to know if this is common. I had the mytouch slide and i did this all the time with no promlems.
i'm currently running cm 6.1.1

Aw yah i had mytouch slide too the prox sensor is a spaz u have to like not be 1 ft infront of it mines does the same sometimes and drop call is probibly cuz they got att and if u find the prox annoying its on the top of the screen

Was that in english? :O
I noticed this about signal too, and after a little searching it appears that g2 suffers from death grip signal issues..solution is really simple , try to hold the phone on your ear with your fingers, instead of the whole palm..its really easy..
As a side note, i would suggest (for health benefits) that you use a bluetooth ear accessory..I am really enjoying mine and you can find them for very low cost, everywhere

Can we get an English translation please?

Translation:
When I had the myTouch 3G Slide, I experienced similar issues with my proximity sensor. It seems that if you are within one foot of the proximity sensor, it will trigger and turn the screen off. I'm assuming they you dropped the call because they have AT&T as a carrier and obviously every call made to an AT&T phone drops. So you know, if you need the location of the proximity sensor, it is near the top left corner of the phone.
Yeah. I put that much effort into it.

Punctuation is such a useful thing.
For example "I helped my uncle Jack, off a horse."
Now read the previous quoted sentence without a comma.
Sorry to be off topic and such but I'm sure there's a way to config the proximity sensor if they're being a pain in the ass... maybe someone can develop a screen lock while in calls that re-opens the phone when the user slides it?

[Q] Screen sensitivity Issues??!!

I noticed an issue with the screen of the galaxy nexus.
-It seems that it does not regester the touch of my finger as good as my nexus s. " once you touch the nexus s screen very lightly you see a direct response. In the GN the light touches does not regester. Is that normal??
-Another way to test for it is using a stylus... the nexus s works perfectly with the stylus touch. In the GN you have to push slightly for the touch to register.
Finally.. when touching the keyboard very slowly... the button does not register no matter how hard you press. weird!
Have any one noticed this issue?

This simply scientifically doesn't make sense. If the nexus was a resistive touchscreen you would have to push hard, but, it's not. On a capacitive touchscreen it picks up the electrons in your finger, so, the lightest touch registers. It is impossible that pushing harder works better, that's not how the screen works. This is the case on the GPS in your car, not on your phone. It's probably your messed up brain ha ha jk

I know what I'm talking about!!. what I meant is: you need a larger surface area of your finger to touch the screen for it to register the touch.
there is a significant sensitivity difference between the GN & the nexus s

Here is a quick video demonstrating that slow touches does not register:
http://youtu.be/3a8rMJvI7zs

Personally, my nexus allows me to barely touch the screen to register. BUT, in past experience with capacitive screens, when my fingers were particularly dry the screen wouldn't register unless I put more finger surface down. I do a lot of wood working and all the saw dust really sucks the moisture out. Now, whether its the lack of moisture, or the capacitance between my dry static-y finger and the screen surface making mini lightening bolts, I don't know, but there was a big difference

This could be due to the fact your not holding the phone in your hand while interacting with the touchscreen, on nexus ones the touch screen/capactive buttons didn't work too well when the phone was placed on a desk and interacted with.

I have seen the same issue as the op, it is especially noticeable on the system soft keys where they require more finger surface area before they register the touch. The worst offender is the three dot menu key in the soft key area.
Hope they tweak the screen sensitivity a bit.

It also happens when I'm holding the device in my hand. I noticed that the lower screen is less sensitive than the upper part.

me too can confirm this issue.... it's like in the posted video:
trying to touch the screen on the Gnex sooooo slowly/lightly some times the screen don't take the input
you can verify in dev setting on the option that show you touch screen coordinate when you touch.... on the bottom of the screen you can see 'PRS' value (pression): try to touch so light you can the screen, you will never see number lower than 0,26/0,27 values.... now, if you can, try out on nexus s on other phone you have... you will see a very lower number. Lower is the number, better is the touchscreen sensibility.
and..... i know the difference beetwin capacitive and resistive touch..... soo, why can appen this issue to a capacitive one!?!?
p.s. i think this could be a software/driver isseu..... then could bee adjusted by a dev
there is app usefull for this problem, but only for Gnote/Gtab and transformer:

i think some dev can look into this and make one app for galaxy nexus too

can i make....?
Up! XD

To add to this. Overall theGnex touch screen is excellent. The driver seems to be configured to reject touches that are under a certain level of "distinction". If you slowly touch the screen and slowly spread the area of your finger skin over the screen, the touch is rejected. Generally it has stopped some inadvertant brushes, however if using the phone in bed holding it with one hand, it can be hard to use the touch since it can be hard in certain positions to be a bit "snappy" with your touch. It definitely seems intended.

yes.... thanks for the reply
i hope some dev can look into the driver and increase a little bit the screen sensibility.... as you had spoke, on the bed it's harder use the softkey.... and when i put my gnex in cardock it's the same....

you can try this app too it can change the sensitivity, minimum motion and duration to register touch. i have it installed and it does make the touchscreen quicker and more accurate for me. Need root for this one.

it seems only for samsung galaxy S....

yes but it's reported to work for the galaxy nexus as well. im using it with my nexus.

I posted this in franco's thread but it didn't receive a response.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1559015
It seems you can edit the touch screen driver in the kernel for the Galaxy S2 and improve the sensitivity.
It has to be some sort of setting to ignore slow touches.

We have to find the equivalent driver code for the nexus. But definitely interested in this, looks like the solution we need.

Noticed this on my Galaxy Nexus as well. Thanks for the confirmation

did anyone find a solution to this problem? I tried the SGS Screen Booster app and i still can't get some touches to register. (i.e., the App doesn't seem to make a difference)

R: [Q] Screen sensitivity Issues??!!
Yeah i can confirm this!
My Nexus is D1 production (jan 2013) and i noted that in general bottom part is less sensitive than upper part!! Quite obvious in the corners and the nav bar. It is not linked to accidentally hit buttons, because you can try to rotate and that part will always be less sensitive.
Even in the upper part, my s2 is far more sensitive than this!
I hope it can be tweaked via software, but I smell crappy hardware here (Samsung Samsung....) because I already returned two devices.
Now that i know someone else noted it, I feel less crazy

Screen burn in issues?

Anyone else getting issues with screen burn in, ghosting, or image retention whatever you wanna call it. I have had my epic 4G touch since around February and I can see that my status bar has burned in on the top and right side. It's not that bad but still pretty noticeable and just wanna know if there's a way to correct this.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

insurance?
I never heard of burn in on a cell phone.

I have the total protection from sprint but they say they don't do screen replacement. What the hell am I paying am extra 9 bucks a month for if they won't fix the most vulnerable part on a phone. I discovered it in the app lcd test you can see how one edge is brighter than the others. More visible on blue or gray screens

Throw it off a roof then they will fix the screen.

I got my e4gt used and didn't notice the burn-in until about a week later. You can see the gingerbread status bar and a blank messaging screen (along with keyboard) in certain conditions (I'm guessing the previous owner fell asleep and the phone didn't ). Not much I can do since I'm not even on Sprint, but at least it's gotten a little better over time.

I had burn in on my last one. Went in told them gps was messing up and this screen had burn in. They gave me a refurb. I had burn in from my notification bar and I had the panel in opera mobile burned in.

aluminum bumper and battery doors on ebay

So just a quick run down the bumper has some tape that prevents contact with the metal. Side buttons are a pita to press due to lip on top plate. As far as signal loss the only thing I notice is where I get really weak 4g I stay on 3g now....by 4g weak I mean where I might get 1mb if im lucky. Overall I love the look and feel of this combo and the slight signal loss is not enough to warrant not using. Have not tested nfc yet.....will update when I have.

Are you having a hard time pressing the power and volume buttons?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Yeah....have to press from the back and that is kinda hard without nails.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Just to let you know, you will eventually have quite a bit of the plastic on the power button chipped off as your using your nails to press it.

I have two Of these bumpers... love them. The buttons isn't really an issue after you get used to them. I would recommend to anyone that isn't a battery swapper. It does add a bit of weight to the phone . But I like that, I doesnt feel like im going to break it.

VZW Tablet screen loose

Maybe I'm being a little OCD, but if you pinch the upper left corner of the tablet... just to the right of the audio jack...so the screen and the back of the tablet are pinched together, does anyone else feel like its not sturdy and a little loose?

I'll resist commenting on you being OCD but will confirm that I tried two units and they both flex ever so slightly in that upper left corner.
