Touch buttons freezing after root? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Anyone ever get this problem. I noticed after rooting that my screen buttons are freezing every now and again I pretty much have to take my battery out to restart it. My volume and power buttons pneumonia the side still work though. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Make sure you are properly rooted.

If you are, try flashing another rom, or doing a complete system wipe.

That just told me i was rooted, not that my root might be corrupt? Idk. Thanks tho

My dad had this problem with his SGH-T989. Boot into recovery and wipe Dalvik/Cache. That fixed it with his.

Swipe to call or text

So...does anyone else get this problem?
It is intermittent but very annoying when it happens. When I go to a contact and swipe there name to call them the phone will not call.. it freezes up and then 20 seconds or so later will call.
Anyone else get this?

you got too much stuff running in the background
it does it immediately for me
Thats not it. It does it with nothing running in the background. I've checked that before. I've killed everything then tried and still did it

I had that on complete stock kl1. I used tl swipe over and pver again and then like 20 seconds later it used register all the swipes at once and call like 5 times. Really annoying. I flashed stock deodexed and the problem hasn't happened since.

I'm unrooted on stock rom... don't know why it happens.

same here.. happens ALL the time for me.. was thinking about taking my phone in for it.
That's why I posted this.. if this is not a common problem and only a few people are experiencing it.. I'm gonna have my phone replaced
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Don't think replacing the phone will solve it.
Try stock Deoxed or any one of the custom ROMS. I've been running smooth as butter with Vultures 4.1 + Synergy Kernel and getting better batt. life than stock.
Hope that helps.

Why wouldnt replacing the phone solve it? That doesnt make sense.. i never had that problem before rooting and hella-flashing.. it has to be an issue with the phone. (For the record, that doesnt mean i dont recommend flashing a custom rom and kernal!! )
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
My phone is completely stock (not even rooted) and it occasionally does the same thing you describe. I just reboot when it does it and it seems to stop.

Because sometimes odex files will mess up things if it was your phone. You would have problems swiping left to right for screens. Meaning the digitizer was damage. Just flash a Rom and the problem will go away.

I am on stock rom. It happened to me randomly.

[Q] Phone does not shutdown

[not the first time]
Rooted my girls GS2 with the updated 4.0.3 stock.
Deleted a few bloatware, and I'm more than certain that I didn't delete anything dangerous.
She can't shutdown her phone now.
I have no clue what's causing this.
any help?

Thanks datrapstar... but that was one of the first thing I did.
Also wiped dalvik.
Before making any changes, I backed up the rooted stock ROM.
So we restored it... still has the no shutdown issues.
very weird.:crying:

1. If you haven't yet, download DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955 . Make sure you download cache.wipe, NOT super.wipe, because super.wipe will clear your data.
2. Remove the battery and put it back in.
3. Go into ClockworkMod, or whatever customer recovery you use. To enter it, hold vol up&down together, while pushing power to turn the phone on, and continue holding the volume buttons the whole time until your CWM comes up.
4. Flash DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE, reboot, let phone sit for 5-10 minutes, and done.
I've tried doing the cache wipe though, even multiple times after the first few tries, and I still get shutdown hang/freeze.

Sorry for the simple questions but did you pull the battery? Are you sure your battery is is not dead?
Do you have access to recovery?
If no flash a firmware with fastboot.

You should still be able to get into fastboot menu and recovery though through holding volume up and down and then the power button.....
Anyway, glad you back up again.
Was your phone hot? It's possible that safety throttle stuff shut down the phone and waited till it cooled off? I honestly don't know how the throttle craps works.

my pc self is buggy but yeah

SGS3 will not rotate. Please help!

I am a new SGS3 owner coming from the OG Evo and I've never really ran into a problem like this. My phone will not go into Landscape/On its side at all. I tried everything I know of and I'm stuck. I pulled down the notification bar and switch the toggle, went into settings and display and unchecked auto-rotate, wiped both caches, fixed permissions, formatted the entire phone (internal, external, sd-ext). I'm absolutely stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was going to say return it because it's covered by the Samsung warranty which will cover any hardware issues which you are having. Play temple run and see if your tilt will work. But unfortunately you rooted your phone therefore breaking warranty

I was actually just about to Odin back to stock, and now the rotation works. It did drop on the floor, not far at all, before I turned it on. So it has to be a hardware problem. But hey, it works now! Lol

Phone keeps rebooting (even in safe mode)

So this is exactly what I did before the problem started happening. I was on version 7/15 and I went to the recovery and flashed the 6/10 version and cleared dalvik and cache and then fix permissions. When I booted up, it acted normal for a few seconds and then it started happening. It would start freezing and then get that and shut off. I flashed 7/15 again and the problem still occurred. I cleared ktweaker data too...
Please help, I didn't backup my room (it's on my pc and I'm on vacation) I'm using my brothers phone.
I had to wipe everything and start over. Flashing ROM and everything.

It's not the phone. It's ROM and kernel related.

I think it sounds exactly like what was happening to me. I will try to do what you did and remove my SD card next time it happens. I only seem to get that issue when im updating the kernel on Touchwiz ROMS, and on first boot it works ok for like 5 minutes and then the crazy lag, freezing then reboot loops start. From there every boot gets the freezing and lag within a minute of booting up and its either completely freezing up or rebooting itself over and over. The only way i figured i could get over it was doing a full wipe and re install my ROM and everything all over again on a clean install if i wanted to update the kernel. Definately going to try pulling the SD Card and see if that solves my issues next time it happens.

Did you debloat at all? Like delete system apps? I feel there are system level apps that i deleted and the ROM is trying to utilize them but it can't so it reboots. Cause if you look at the last_kmsg there aren't any kernel panics in it.

Yeah that's exactly what happened to me! When my phone would freeze, it would get extremely hot and just stay on the screen/or the screen would turn off and I couldn't turn it back on
Not sure what the SD card has to do with anything but I removed it before I booted back up! If it happens again to you, then good luck I hope it fixes it!
