Hello all,
I woke up this morning and noticed while trying to send a picture using whatsapp to a friend that i could not press the attach button. I thought it was an app problem but then realised it was that part of my touch screen is not registering.
I used the Touch Test app to see exactly what was not working and i have taken a screen shot. The area inside my drawn line is roughly the part not registering.
If i swipe over the part really fast in a few directions it will pick up but in general if im pressing and swiping average/ slow / fast it will not register.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I currently am running 2.3.3 Stock + rooted
And I have tried a reboot and uninstalled apps that i have recently installed/updated

no one can help u. either live with it or replace yr touch screen (digitizer) which is costly.
Do you have a screen printing protector?
I had a portion around the "a" on standard keyboard stop working and the screen clicked when I depressed in that area.
Got a new case and different screen protector no clicking and if the "a" doesn't work I blame my fingers and screen protector.

Just had the area around my "o" stop working. Pressed hard got hold responses the pop up for other numbers accents and then about five minutes later went away.
Sometimes it could be days other times minutes seemed to me every word I typed had an "o" in it

I've been experiencing a similar issue, but it pretty much affects my whole screen. Noticeably while I'm typing, I will not be able to click random letters no matter how many times I try. It randomly will start working again after a minute or so, but the affected sections of my screen always change.
It's usually less noticeable while running a Sense Rom, but right now I'm running LeeDroid 5.1.1 and I couldn't use the Spacebar. Is there a program that I can use to see the sections of my screen that respond and don't respond to touch?
did that happen while charging?
i found problem alike once, while i was using wasted/wrong charger - phone was reacting to touch rapidly and irregularily or was not reacting at all.

I don't know about the OP, but with me it happens whether I'm charging or not.
similar problem
Hello.
I am having a similar problem. When I´m texting some letters randomly stop working. I´ve noticed that the letters that fail the most are "a", "o", "n", "s" and "e", but sometimes I´ve had this with spacebar and backspace. I try several times and sometimes it just works after the fifth touch, but in other cases the only way to solve it is to lock/unlock the phone.
Please let me know what can I do to solve this.

Hey guys,
Recently I dropped my Artemis . No screen damage luckily only button damage, so the problem is that my left softwarekey, my green telephone key, and the navigation button won't respond everytime I push them. See beneith (red=broken):

I need to click like 20 times fast and then suddenly the three buttons work again, but as you can imagine that's quite annoying. I don't feel like taking the cover off because it's not that easy, I reflashed many roms to check if it was a software problem but it's definetely a hardware problem. I think the two metal connectors don't connect if i push one of those three buttons, only after 20 times or so. Do you guys have any idea's on how to fix this?
And if not, is it possible to make a shortcut on the Today screen that directs me to the dialer screen because I can't access it with my broken Green Phone button?
Thanks already

You have 2 solutions:
This adds a new icon in your Home plugin
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\Windows\cprog.lnk"
"LaunchApPath"="\Windows\cprog.lnk"
This changes "contacts" to "phone" (112 for Calendar) softkey, just use touch screen
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="Phone"
"Open"="\Windows\cprog.lnk"
Thank you, that did the trick . It's a nice thing that the touch rom doesn't really need the buttons, you can manage and control almost everythin with HTC Home.
Now RollR is the problem
Suddenly all three buttons began to function normal again. But now my UP direction and MOUSE CLICK are not working anymore. The fact that my mouseclick is not working is really annoying because I use it a lot.
I think the problem is a software problem, because my mouse worked good before. I tried many different roms , official HTC, Premium, Touch. But still my mouse click and up direction are not working.
I don't feel like sending the phone in because that would be the third time to send it in for repair .
Can somebody help??
Thanks already

The third time??? Your Artemis is very unlucky!
I think it's an hardware problem, perhaps it's broken a contact in the board, or a littel piece of metal inerrupts some contact (first the three keys and now the mouse).
Try to open your Artemis...
If the problem persists after hard reset and after flashing other ROMs... it's definitely hardware problem. You must send it to service.
I just picked up the GNex Friday and have noticed sometimes the screen doesn't rotate properly. I thought nothing of it until this morning when I had to shake it a few times to come out of portrait mode. I then went on to play some Raging Thunder (car racing game), and my car just makes hard lefts and crashes.
So I'm thinking there is something up with my gyrometer. I downloaded "Gyro 2D Visualizer" and can can confirm that the phone is off quite a bit.
Here is a picture of it on a flat surface, you can see how much it's off:

After your post I went to take a look with GPS Status and you were right. It's a bit off. I calibrated it right away and should be correct now.
Weird they did not add a calibrator in ICS.
Would you mind sharing how you calibrated? I have GPS Status, but I'm not sure what it wants me to do when it says "rotate your device 1-2 times around each of its 3 axes".
Also can you verify that your calibration remains after a reboot?
What you're talking about is the compass caibration. Do the following
end over end (flip); hold it with the screen up and flip it away from you making a full rotation
side over side (roll); hold it with the screen up and move it from left to right so the screen rotates left, down, up right
screen-up rotation (spin); put it on a table and spin it around
Taken from: http://androidforums.com/143593-post3.html
The 2nd one is putting your phone on the table and the pressing calibration.
Hope this helps
Ah ok, sorry for the confusion. I found the other option for "pitch and roll".
Unfortunately, loading the game yielded the same results. I tried to play Doodle Jump and I had to tilt the phone to the left to get him to bounce straight up and down.
I downloaded the gps status app and mine seemed right on, however does anyone know if this app also shows you what the barometer is reading?

Hello,
My N7100's a little too sensitive to rotation on the right. This just started happening 2 days ago, out of the blue. For the left side, I have to rotate my phone properly into landscape mode but to the right, even if it is tilted 1/8th of an inch e.g. while picking phone up, switching hands or left handed operation, it will suddenly rotate to landscape.
I have tried calibrating the gyroscope some 10 times but to no avail.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!
SOLVED: Read post #8
No one?
It's a bug in samsung touchwiz (4.1.2)..I have it too only solution I got was to use ultimate rotation control it will help or else if you can wait for samsung to fix it in 4.2.2
Here's the app link I hope it helps

@mufaddalezzi Thank you for your reply. However, my problem has not been solved by the app since it doesnt adjust the sensor.
My problem:
Phone thinks its tilted to the right while it is only 5-6 degrees to the right. I cant play games that require motion sensing such as Temple run because the character is running to the right with the phone being perfectly straight.
XDA, i need your help!
P.s: i tried restoring to an older nandroid backup from TWRP but to no avail
Tried. Calibration from the service menu at *#0*# under Sensors and again, no help. This wathe post that fixedit for someone else

Maybe it's a hardware failure(accelerometer or gyroscope)..that means you might need to change/replace it

Sure? I am not covered by warranty and would hate to sell my phone the gyro works fine its just that the calibration of it is wrong, the phone thinks it is tilted slightly to the right
I figured it out. For anyone else with this problem:
1) Boot phone into safe mode (Turn phone off and turn it back on. As soon as animation starts press and hold volume down button - It should say SAFE MODE in the lower left corner of the screen when turned on)
2) Reboot phone
Voila!
Mystery solved. Case closed.
My big problem, that you can see it on image, is always after I have my note 8 some minutes with screen off. I push power button and it apears something image. After some minutes, or if I shake it a little, or if I touch somewhere on screen (not always), or aleaotory, it becomes in good image, and, it doesn't repeat problem until I close screen and wait some minutes again. One intend to found the origen of problem: software or hardware, I have rebooted note 8 quickly while problem is active, but it resets showing problem from initial splash of note 8 starting process... anybody with same problem?

Looks like a hardware issue. Better get the warranty replacement.

never seen another user complain about that one...that is definitely an issue id want fixed via warranty
did you try to do a hard reset? like brand new out of the box?
if it still persists then...then its def hardware
I've seen this before on other tablets and laptop LCD screens.
It's almost certainly a hardware problem. The display cable that connects the screen to the mainboard is either coming loose or nearly broken.
In your case, it looks like the cable or connector is being shifted when you shake it. When that happens, the pins on the cable that carry the vertical data lines are being disconnected, so you see the horizontal stripes on the screen.
Eventually, or through another shake or touch, the failing cable makes contact again and everything seems to work fine. Until the next time it happens.
This problem is only going to get worse and more frequent over time. It's definitely a warranty issue.
Hey guys, I've had my phone for a day or so now and just wanted to list some bugs I've found and see if anyone else has experienced them.
When hanging up a phone call my wallpaper is the application settings screen of a random app (reboot fixes)
Sometimes the screen randomly turns itself on
Sometimes after leaving an email (Touchdown Exchange mail) when I press back I am brought to the application settings screen of a random app
When I get a notification and attempt to open it on the lockscreen the lockscreen becomes a rectangle about 3/4 the size of the screen which is empty and I need to swipe within that to open the app that the notification came from
I will add more as I come across them but just wondering if anyone else has experienced those same bugs/glitches. Thanks!
Not a bug but I cant seem to hide folders in my gallery
Verizon g4 here, i have none of those problems except the last one i thought that was normal my g3 did that as well

I guess that's not a bug then per se but it is ugly none the less.
I am having issues with my wifi. It will show connected, but will not connect to internet. If I turn off/on wifi, it will work again. I have tried on a airport extreme and anetgear extender. Same issue on both.
My screen is randomly turning itself on and off very quickly sometimes.
Number three is normal, it's the same on g3. Lg changed it from stick Android where a simple double tap would open the notification. However . If you excited the notifications first, then tapping it goes straight to the app, without swiping.
Hey Verizon people, are you all seeing - when using a lock screen setup (not just swipe) like knock code or pin or pattern - the ugly Emergency Call button?

I'm guessing it's a Verizon thing... I have that on my KitKat Droid Razr M.
I have Verizon and have the Emergency Call on mine as well.
This is going to sound weird but I hope someone can help. Only on my phone and only on WiFi i cant use Amazon. It shows no connection in the app and only lets me go to the sign on screen in the browser. Every other site is functional.
