[Q] Touchscreen unresponsive at times

When I'm using my ARC, sometimes the touchscreen is unresponsive. For example, when I'm playing Fruit Ninja, sometimes the touchscreen does not respond at all. I thought it was a problem with the game. Then same thing happened with Cut the Rope. It happens when I'm clicking on the screen, not a problem with swiping. At first, I was still in denial, thinking that it has to do with the games. Then when I'm using the camera, the freaking phone is unresponsive again for like 3-4 seconds (multiple times). What is going on?? Anybody facing the same problem?

This usually happen when you are low in RAM. Try reboot the phone, it usually fixes the lag for me.

At my arc, sometimes touchscreen get a finger press blocked on right-bottom corner. I have to lock and unlock the phone to make it disapear. It happens on both stock rom and CyanogenMod

Mine has also started doing this quite often. It seems like the screen is registering a finger input that isn't actually happening. When this happens to me, one area of the screen becomes unusable until i lock and unlock the phone.

yup you have to reboot and it will be a long one!

So it's a general problem ? Hopefully a software one....

Have had this several times, but not often enough to annoy me.
Maybe once every two weeks, and I just wait and it sorts itself.

I can't stand lag ! I have to do my phone 4 to 5 times a week

Seems like we're not the only ones with this problem. Could it be a hardware issue?

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone. Does it void my warranty? Do I have to lock my bootloader and unroot my phone so that I can send it in for repair??
man...after surfing around for problems with the arc...seems like this phone is packed with problems...the screen problem, the case cracking, etc...what is going on?

Shadowgun crashing since update

Anyone else having problems with Shadowgun crashing all the time since the OTA update?
Seems like it does it when the phone gets warm, the game freezes and sometimes just comes back to the pause menu but if you keep playing the game actually crashes and closes.
Didn't crash at all for me pre-update.

Really? I played for maybe 10mins before giving up. In that time it froze twice and took me to the pause menu, and the third time the game froze and closed altogether.
Tried again not long after and the same thing happened. Will give it another go in a bit

Try uninstalling it and install again. Some files may have been messed up during the update

Hi guys, what is your battery use when you play Shadowgun for 1 hour??

you need version THD 1.1.2 which fixes One X bugs

Just tried it again and it ran fine without a problem. Very odd

I'm not that daft

its not a bug! its your hand hitting the touch buttons during gameplay which causes the game to pause, all you have to do is flip the phone and play with the buttons on your left side, problem solved! lol

The game only crashes at explosions.

[XS]GTA Vice City - freezes (must do hard reset)

I've just installed GTA Vice City on my Xperia S and I was excited about getting to play it at last.
The bad thing is, after about 30 seconds of gameplay the game totally crashes and the only way to cut out of the game is to do a hard reset (hold power button + volume up)
I'm just wondering if anyone else has got this game on their device and came across the same problem?
And if so, have you been able to fix it?
My XS is completely stock and unrooted running the latest ICS update.
Thanks in advance if anyone could shed some light on this issue

Same here. But also the game feels a bit laggy.

It actually felt pretty good for the time it would let me use it. It's just the total crash which means I can't do anything with it.

Same here!

Sorry guys for OT, but how did you get this game? IT doesn't show on Google play
Sent from my Sony Xperia S rocking JB

It doesnt show on play store because rockstar have removed it due to the issue of it freezing or as they call it 'technical difficulties' it should be fixed soon though. Fingers xed

I heard of a bug in the game that Rockstar will solve in their next update... For source, simply google 'vice city android'
P.S. GTA III works fine for me

I can confirm IT Also crashes on CM10

WAIT A DAMN SECOND. KIDCARTER93, DIDN'T YOU SAID YOU HAVE SOLD YOUR XPERIA S? You god damn bastard.

Same here with my Xperia Acro S rooted stock...
It was smooth and good at first, but then crashes...
will wait for fix from Rockstar

Same thing here. I'm from a different phone Galaxy S Blaze 4G ( i googled the issue and came across here) It's REALLY smooth at first but then it freezes. Like, the visuals.. cause i can still here the sounds, and im driving and running people over, then i hear the cops.. it just freezes.. BTW im on CM10.
Oh and i dont have to hard reset.. just exit the game, if you're wondering.

I can run around the city but I can't drive cars it freezes as soon as I press the gas but over all this game is way better than GTA 3

I'm guessing this game will be working fine once it's officially released because a ton of devices are having problems running this game at the moment, even though they're on the approved list of devices to work (like our xperia s).
I've managed to get the game working on my S2 and even some people have problems with it on that phone aswell.
Hopefully Rockstar will be able to get this issue solved soon enough

The game is still quite unstable. It crashes on my phone after selecting a button/menu too. Hope they fix it!

Same problems also with the new Gta Vice City 1.01 version relased yesterday!
Sony Xperia S with Cyanogenmod 9.1 Stable

Still freezing on 1.0.1

Yes, even I am facing issue with 1.01 while driving alone

Same thing on CM10

Is the screen faulty?

My friends One X's screen is acting like it should not - when the phone heats up, it becomes unresponsive in one corner, to be more exact, the place where the gas pedal is located in GTA3. Is it a warranty-repair?

Can he use the gas button without steering? And when he steers, he can no loger press it?
I've had this problem with vice city. It would go away after a restart of the phone. Don't know if this is the same issue. But from time to time it came back, but atleast it's gone for me now. See if a restart helps with the problem.

If you can use the gas pedal without stearing, try unmarking the HTC gestures thing in settings -> Display, gestures & buttons.
I have had a lot of problems with the multitouch before disabling the gestures option. It sometimes didnt even recognise 2 finger touches.
You can try some apps to test your multitouch. However the problem could be in the GTA if you use a pirate version.

[Q] Screen randomly stops responding

It usually only happens when playing a bigger game like Real Racing 3 or Heroes of Order & Chaos. The screen will stop receiving any input for a second or two, then be fine. It's happened since I was unrooted on stock, and on every ROM since after I rooted, so I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with that. Is it a hardware problem or a security thing or what?

Then it isn't random. Your phone is either overheating to the point of forcing a reboot or running out of ram and triggering a reboot.

You mean a screen reboot? Overheating is actually probably causing it. It doesn't reboot the phone or anything, I just am unable to use the screen for a second. I'll try to keep the phone cool now.
