Multitouch issue

Hey guys i'm wondering if you could help me out. I've only just got the Desire and its working great but sometimes the multitouch just seems to stop working for some unknown reason and i would have to reboot the phone to be able to get it to work again. I was wondering if any of you guys have experienced this and how you managed to fix the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

For me the problem was caused by some other input methods dl'd from the market.
Try switch back to factory input method or the HTC_IME mod from the forum,
that immediately solved the multi-touch issue for me.

Hmm ok I'm using swype atm so if it happens again I'll try and switch back to the original keyboard. I thought out might have been caused by my task killer (eStrong). So I uninstalled that to try and solve the problem

Also, try to re-calibrate your screen to improve touch precision:
Go to Menu -> Settings -> Language & keyboard -> Touch Input -> Text Input. Scroll down and select Calibration tool and Reset calibration, if necessary.
If you still have the same issue and if after trying what was posted above fails, hard reset.

Cheers I'll try that the next time it happens. It just seems so random

Its been reported that the issue happens when swype is installed... which you have.

Yup, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6265748
one person mentions it causes multitouch issues after you install the app, but if you reboot the phone then it's fine. Try rebooting before anything else.

Cheers guys that seems to be the issue. Ah well its a small sacrifice i guess. Swype is really awesome . already getting quite good at it after a day playing around with it.

[Q] swype turns off on me...

anyone know why swype would turn it self off on my dinc?
I have to go into settings and turn it back on at least once a day....
I'm runnin cm nightlys as a rom
thanx

This is a known issue with swype. After reboot it will need to be reactivated.

Swype fix
Dont bother going through settings, just open an email or sms, long press on the text box, change input method to touch input, then repeat, selecting swype. It's a little quicker. Hope to see a real fix soon!

Trust me when I tell you that doing this gets REAL old REAL fast. I do it, but it is disheartening to jump through this hoop when you go to do something and realize, ooops, you can't because it turned itself off again.

Have you guys tried fixing your permissions in rom manager or cw recovery? If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall. I've has this problem previously and this always fixed it.

I had some issues with a nightly a little while back (maybe 10 or 11?) that all seemed to start with trying to get swype to work and I had to completely wipe and go back to virtuous. I haven't had time to flash the latest nightly yet and try again though...
In the end you're basically running "beta" software on an alpha ROM. All those bugs probably don't play well together - it's a lot of buggy software for one device.

A few small issues with my device. I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging?

Hello everyone,
I just bought my S3 last Sunday. Since then I have noticed several issues with it and I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging. They seem to be both software and hardware issues.
1. It's pretty laggy. For such a "groundbreaking" phone this is lagging much more than my old Sensation. It's rarely smooth switching between screens and going from lock screen to home screen is also laggy. Overall, it's not very smooth. Is this common on this device? Maybe I'm expecting too much.
2. The music player skips and repeats A LOT. Whenever a song is playing, it will constantly have gaps in the music. It will just stop playing for a brief second but then continue normally. It also will repeat parts of a song, such as saying some lyrics twice.
3. Whenever someone calls me, my voice sounds "distant" to them. If I call someone my voice sounds totally normal but when I receive the call I am either echoing or I sound like I'm holding my phone away from my face.
I guess my biggest problem is the lag. It really bothers me since it's supposed to be such an amazing and smooth phone. It takes several times longer to load apps and things than my old Sensation did, and I don't have many apps installed at all. Opening the app drawer is consistently laggy as well.
Are these common issues or do you guys think it would be worthwhile to exchange the phone? As of right now, I'm not very pleased with it.
Thanks for all your input, guys!
Edit: Also, whenever I hit the home button it takes several seconds to load it up. Is there a way to speed this up?
Also, I am not rooted yet. I always like to spend a few weeks with the stock setup before rooting.
Edit 2: Last thing, S Voice is a piece of **** on this. Literally. It takes FOREVER to load up and RARELY does what I say. Does this actually work for you guys or is S voice generally useless?

Not common at all. Exchange.

Smooth as butter.

Have you tried installing the latest OTA? It may help with some of your problems. For the home key lag, double press to open s voice, then go into settings and turn off double press home to open.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

1. Try this. Settings >Developer Options > Window animation scale ->change to 0.5x or off. Transition animation scale >animation is off
Also make sure Do not keep activities under developer options is unchecked. Check it first then uncheck it. This should solve the redraw issue on teh homescreen (at least it did for me)
2. Did not happen to me
3. Turn off noise reduction

For the distant sound issue open the dialer>call settings>additional settings>uncheck noise reduction. Even running unrooted the interface should be very smooth however.

that is yet another odd thing about my device. it claims I have the latest OTA, when I know I don't. Also, it says the music hub is still unavailable (even though I know several people who have it running)

I haven't actually used s-voice myself, but a lot of reviews said it wasn't very good.
Another thing you can try for the lag you mentioned is in Developer Options, change the Force GPU Rendering option.
Also try limiting background processes to 3 or 4. Though you shouldn't have to resort to this. If other options don't work id still take it back for exchange.

I just tried all the things you listed in number 1 and it is definitely faster, in a way. When I click the home button, the wallpaper pops up immediately. The apps however take significantly longer to load up and the app drawer still takes quite a while to load. I think I am stuck with a return. Thank you for all your help!

To speed up the home screen button:
Double tap home screen (bring up s-voice)
Tap menu softkey
Tap settings
Uncheck launch s-voice
You will need to do this with your new device as well.
And s-voice is generally useless, or as far as I've found.

Yea s-voice makes home button laggy. And have u tried to factory reset it?

Do a master reset without restoring back up. Sometimes this all that is necessary on any Rom. If that fails do a buyers remorse exchange.

wow. i cant believe i didnt think of this. i just did a factory reset and it is a world of difference. so much faster and smoother! i still think i'm going to exchange it tomorrow, however. the speaker issue worries me since it is probably a hardware issue

Thank you for making your own point.

make sure power save option is disable.it will make it very laggy

I haven't had any problems with my device. But a lot of times when I'm talking to my girlfriend she always asks if I put her on speakerphone and I haven't. She sometimes also says she hears an echo.

Issues with CM9

I just got my S II a few days ago and I flashed CM9. I've noticed the soft key back light is messed up and won't turn on after I get a notification, I read a post where someone suggested an app but that didn't work for me. Does anyone else have a suggestion? Is there a similar problem with other AOSP roms? Thanks

I am running Cm9 stable and I haven't had any issues, make sure its enabled in settings/display and play around a bit with the settings. Otherwise I would recommend a reflash. That is all I can really think of.

Its actually pretty much a common issue. With both CM10 and CM9, i had only heard of it being perfect on AOKP ICS. I too had this, i ended up disabling BLN due to a wake lock drastically draining the battery. I miss the old static BLN cause that didnt use a wake lock. It just woke it once to allow them to come on then went back to deep sleep.

Well I installed AOKP ICS, and it works like a charm with the exception that it still doesn't really work with BLN but I didn't realty care much for that.

This is why i started this Thread, So we can discuss Bugs in the latest versions. :highfive:
I heard AOKP JB is stll having SODs and RRs. Do u find anything like these?

Why do we say there are no more SOD or RR? are we just taking guesses? Haven't seen any changes that would be anywhere near relevant for fixing those.

First we have to fix our flashing methods and recoveries used. I for one haven't experienced one single RR or SoD since I started flashing official nightlies. People are probably causing these issues themselves to begin with. Expecting a fix for an issue that has no identifiable cause.. I wonder if any other phones outside the t989 forums are experiencing RR and SoDs with Jelly Bean..

running 10-10. I experienced one soft reboot after restoring apps and then running all of them (I don't blame my phone). no sod yet. i don't know if they fixed rr or sod completely but i believe they made an impact. I think people are making assumptions since the 4.1.2 update claimed "better performance and stability fixes" and the bbq log shows a lot of framework and system updates

We are not guessing. I said there are no SODs or RRs because I installed each update and i am pushing hard my device to get a RR. Also as i observed that there are no SODs. CM10 09-Oct Nightly is more stable than previous Nightlies. I know there are still some issues like as i stated above. We can find solutions for common problems but not major problems.

Great to hear that your running latest 10-Oct Nightly. A Simple advice to you & all other users, is to restore app without data if your are using any backup tools such as TitaniumBackup etc., Restore Apps with data cause Problems.

Sorry, I don't mean to crap on the thread but unless you can confidently say that SODs and RRs have been fixed (changelogs, yourself writing the code, etc.), going by your own experience shouldn't be the end-all-be-all to say whether something is fixed or not. Just like with call echo, some devices are worse than others.

I see that supposedly the issue with audio and docking has been addressed. However, the docking option is still grayed out for me when docked. Just looking for audio pass-through while docked...

Been running CM10 for the past few days and updating nightlies. My issues so far:
1. No sound with Alarms, just vibrating
2. I have been told by caller that I sounded weird using phone mic, but fine with headset
3. Had phone freeze once this morning on 10/9 with touch keys lit, but screen black, had to pull battery
I am now on 10/10 and plan on doing a clean install of it this afternoon, so I'm not sure how many of these issues with persist yet

SOD RR is not fixed for me, ran latest cm10 as well as aokp nightlies

1. There are issues with all of the volume settings. To fix your alarm volume open the clock settings, go to volumes and chnge the volume level. It should work. You can fix all volume settings with a simple toggle. 2. Make sure you have noise suppression enabled in call settings. 3. To avoid pulling the battery hold down the power for 10-15 seconds and it will reboot.
running 10-10 with TWRP and clean install (no tdj scripts). No rr/sod for 6 hrs so far. just a soft reboot after loading a ton of apps and running them all to push my phone to the max. No issues except the ones above and a tiny camera app issue thats already been reproduced (switching from camera mode--> video mode-->panorama-->camera will cause fc). I'm starting to think this is dd material. will let you know of any rr/sods.

I'm on recent CM10 Oct10 nightly and the BLN lights stay on, even with the Oct 7 nightly.
Update: fixed my own problems. This post helped: go to menu - systems - advanced settings - sensor and uncheck and check enable keys notifications and then send yourself a text or email. It actually should work out the box mine always has. Make sure you have notifications checked off in the apps like sms and gmail.
Also check display - notification light to make sure it enabled and you can add the apps you want to have the light enabled to work

well there was a difference in this reboot because my phone didnt actually fully shut off. the "cyanogenmod" boot animation came up and the phone was ready to go in about 20 seconds. there was no usual vibration indicating that the phone has shut off and no "samsung" boot image as a regular reboot would do. call it what you will

Run only One ROM. Do a clean reflash. We are not experiencing any SODs or RRs. Use only one ROM because Flashing different ROMs one after the Other will Make your device weak. The data left by the AOKP causes some errors to CM10. Thats why i said that don't restore the apps with data.
