I have this weird problem with the shell on the device itself where the cursor is couple spaces off the actual typing position, so it is quite confusing. I'm running KyanROM 1.28. I tried it in "terminal emulator", "Connectbot" and "ROM toolbox", same problem so I believe it is not an application related, it is either shell binary problem or some system settings. See the screenshot. I was typing there "ls -l" and cursor is couple positions to the right.
Any idea what could be the problem or suggestion how to troubleshoot it?
Mines the same way, on every rom I've tried. Maybe it's supposed to be like that?

I know it wasn't like that before, I just don't know when exactly it broke.
anyone solved this yet?

So I've been experiencing an odd issue intermittently. I'll be using my phone normally, and out of the blue, the touchscreen input gets flipped along the vertical centre axis in portrait mode. this flip remains when i change the phone to landscape mode (the issue itself doesn't flip). It's an odd phenomenon that disappears once I reboot, but I thought I'd record and upload for all your curiosities' sakes.

I've got the same problem but it doesn't go away when I reboot...
Can anyone help?!
Experienced the same issue. Rebooted and it was fine. Unnerving to say the least.
Have you tried a factory reset? And/or reflashing ROM
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app
I've tried rebooting, tried resetting to factory settings and now I will attempt to reflash the ROM.
From the power of google it appears that this is an issue with a lot of tablets and that it's a driver issue. Mine happened only after I replaced a faulty lcd so that would make sense. I'm still not confident on how to fix it though!
Doubt that reflashing is going to help, then. If you can get the device to run a recalibrate you may be in business.
Installing a nandroid on my WinMo TP2 there was a calibrate app in the ROM that ran in the command line before the GUI loaded up. Hopefully you can find something like that.

CORRECTION
it was not the nand version but the version that loads from WinMO with Haret. Maybe you can look at one of these files and extract the calibrate code or find out where it came from.

Thanks Igor - that's the most constructive answer I've found to the problem.
Having said that, I'm not sure I possess the neccessary skills to extract the calibrate code and secondly I still hold out hope that it's a driver issue. The reason I say that is because the old lcd was working fine in so much as left and right worked ok (just the display and colours that were ruined) and the problem only started when the new screen went in!
But I guess that still leaves me needing to extract lcd driver files.......

...been googling the issue and it seems that you can get Android to force a recalibrate. IF you're rooted and handy with adb or terminal emulator.
...now that might not fix your issue BUT it might.
Google for ts_calibrate and ro.calibrate

Well I'm not rooted... yet! But I've been working on it (looks like I need a goldcard...) I'm not especially handy with adb but I can follow instructions and have a very small amount of common sense
So I'll try it!
Thanks again for your help man - very much appreciated.
Make sure that you use the gfree method from the wiki page for rooting. And read n re-read before you do it for a flawless and easy root.

Hi, I am a noob and wondering what is the solution to this problem?
After installing the TeamBURST ROM on my andoird the screen is working fine in the bottom half but the upper half has the y-axis flipped.
Appreciate any inputs that point me in the right direction (I just started rooting and flashing yesterday so fairly know but I do know coding).

Because if you can't replicate something, it's not a bug. It could be something with a certain users own environment/setup.
I've never had that occur, so unless one were to go line by line, app by app to see what's causing it, how can you call it a bug? It could be another app that's causing the issue.

Unless you understand the nature of the bug, perhaps you are not reproducing the correct conditions for it to occur.
That blanket statement is fairly inaccurate.
Happened to me before, it's due to the rotation sensor getting confused. It thinks it's in horizontal mode; just turn it to the side and back vertical again and it clears it right up. Nothing major.

Agreed, however the same can be said if you call something a bug without evidence to support it.
The word "bug" is used far too often in my opinion.
It's just like when you file a bug report for cyanogen nighties, they require you to be able to replicate it, for it to be considered an issue.

Open maps once and let it find your location. That should keep it from showing up in your recent apps all of the time.

Hi....... Im using Tsf shell on my Samsung s3. The only problem I have is that every now and then the shell loads up., just like when you turn the phone on...*It happens when I use an app and then try to go back to my home screen... Most times it's okay but every now and then the shell needs to load......... It only takes about. 10 second to load and then all is ok
Happens when I use various apps or sometimes when the phone is on standby
Anyone else having this problem
Any advice*Sent from Samsung S3

Same thing happening to me every now and then. Haven't found out an exact cause or fix for it yet sorry. Best email the devs directly. Just it hasn't bothered me enough yet to go and moan at them about it.

********UPDATE*********
Thanks to hardcore,I found a fix in another thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843837&page=4
Using a terminal emulator or adb shell,
su
cd /data/log
chmod 444 dumpstate_*
This sets those files to read-only permissions and that seems to fix it.
Ever since Jellybean instead of apps force closing as they normally would my phone becomes unresponsive and reboots after 2-3 minutes.It gets quite annoying and I wanted to know has anyone else has been getting this issue. I have wiped dalvic/cache also factory data reset,I am unable to do anything in anycut,the phone automatically goes through freeze process,any ideas on how to fix issue?
got the issue too. Only on tw based roms tho. why i only **** wit cm10/aokp. And anycut doesnt work completely with jb yet. You have to use the anycut widget instead
Thanks for the response I guess the only way to stop the problem is not to have a tw Rom,I guess I might just have to bit the bullet on that one,im not really into flashing roms I'm only rooted for hotspot and system settings to change certain things

Could always setup the dualboot to have stock and an aosp rom
Okay I might have to look into that, thanks for the quick responses I thought I was the only one, my friends have s3 to add well and was not experiencing issue,I can see now that's for top them not having stock Rom

You could also find out what process is causing the bad behavior, what's not playing nice, and remove or freeze that app. You could also try to do a fresh install of your rom.
I was getting the same issues, but I found out that Maps social pin-point (Latitude) was causing my issues and unchecked all of the options related to check-ins and location sharing. No problems since.
When you say fresh install do you mean hard reset?if that's what you are referring to I have done that and wipes in recovery. And how exactly did you find it was that specific app doing That to your phone?

For that specific problem, it was trial and error, but a logcat would help. At the time, I couldn't figure it out. I believe there's an app to help read logcats.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Did you use the app? It seems that the app triggers a force clse popup if (im guessing here) a certain amount of time has gone by (like the OS itself does, but maybe shorter) or whenever an app goes unresponsive (it comes up instantly)
So either way, its supposed to fix the force close dialog not showing up for you.
I have our installed but I guess im still working on how to use it, I'm going to try to run it in the background

Thanks for the tips guys. This was also irritating me to no end on several Samsung roms. I think it happens on the Note and S3 too. Maybe even the S2.
My solution was:
Using a terminal emulator or adb shell,
su
cd /data/log
chmod 444 dumpstate_*
This sets those files to read-only permissions and that seems to fix it.

Has anybody ever seen a yellow screen that looks very similar to custom recovery, and says
"Device has detected a hardware reset"
I can take a picture when I get home, it doesn't do anything to me, but in one specific application if I try one specific command it sends me to this screen. I just reboot and then it optimizes applications and throws me back in as though nothing had happened.
Thoughts?

It happened to me. I sort of just shrugged it off though.
I think it's related to the root method tried, which one did you use?
