Unwanted long pressing when I'm tapping? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Seemingly out of nowhere my girlfriends S3 running a nightly of CM10.1 is acting like you're long pressing when you tap in Chrome or Maps for example. Yet texting is fine, she can type normally, dial normally. It wasn't doing this when I first got her up and running. I'm confused here. Wondering if anyone has run into this or knows what's going on. Otherwise I'll have to flash another nightly and cross my fingers.

Did you consider inquiring in the cm10.x Q&A thread? It's right here in the troubleshooting forum, dude

I thought maybe it would be better to have a broader set of eyes to look at the problem.

I'm not having any issues with ICS. You should only be getting that issue with JellyBean ROMS.

YES!!! I've been saying this for awhile now lol. Don't know how to get rid of it. I've tried to flash with both trwp and cwm6 to no avail. Sad about it :'( my usual go to roms are cm9 and tdjs dark side v8. No more cm9 now.

I know you guys are looking for ways to eliminate flickering on cm9 but the cm10 flickering issue has many different solutions. I am quite sure they can be attempted on cm9 as well. First off though I think you guys should list what you have done to remedy the situation so people just don't inform you of what you already tried.

That's the thing.. its an issue with cm9 itself. I've tried disabling gpu rendering, flashing that useless gpu mod, fully wiping with both trwp and cwm6 touch.. not sure what else I can do.

Interesting... I just flashed cm9 9-30 nightly last night and i don't experience this screen flickering, or at least i'm not noticing it if it's happening.
I'm using sk8's cwm6.0.1.4 and I just followed the instructions on TC's webpage. And I just came from erick's cm10 9-28 nightly. Don't know if this'll help, but that's what I did and I don't see any screen flickering. What's the best way to reproduce this issue? I can try and report back if I see it or not.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.
Same here. it appears randomly for me. i see no trend. also at times my data stays on E. but overall i love it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I'm going to flash the 9/30 nightly with trwp and see what happen. I'm going to try to flash without installing gapps to see if that has any effect.

Try adjusting the build.prop entry below:
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3
change it to ->
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=1
....this might or might not fix the flickering issue.

Can't bring up open apps from home button

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager. Most the times it works, but every once in awhile it will completely stop working. A reset fixes it or if i just wait awhile it will come back.
Anyone else get this or know of a fix? Home button still works, just not the long press

Restarting my phone fixes it, but its just annoying to do it to fix it. It shouldn't do it in the first place. Also it will come back and start working on its own too. Most of 90% of the time it works though

Hardware Key Issue

Hey everyone,
I'm running 01/06/13 CM10.1 and have been having an odd issue. Its been occurring since flashing 4.2.1 so it may be a 4.2.1 issue...
I'm running a d2att, twrp 2.3.3.1, cm10.1 i747.
Occasionally, probably twice a day, for an unknown reason, my hardware keys act like they are being held in instead of a regular single touch when pressed. This is causing Recent App List to pop up on a single touch of the home key and Google Voice to come up when single pressing the menu key.
Thinking this was an issue with CM10.1 I disabled hardware key shortcuts in the CM settings but I am still having issues (due to the default mapping).
Only temporary solution is a reboot, but it just happens again a few hours later.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is this a known issue? ...and are there any fixes? Thanks!

You should probably try another rom (make a nandroid so you can go back easily and quickly) just to see if it is hardware or software. That is what I would do, it is a hassle though I know.
I'll give it a try. kinda wanted to try slim bean anyway. I'll report back and let everyone know how it goes after a couple days =)

hey just saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085171(10.1 known issues) remembered seeing your thread about this issue.
Your problem is one of 10.1's issues, so it is most likely software.
Thanks for finding that!! =) Now I won't be left wondering if its my phone while I test new ROMs =) I decided to flash Tasks AOKP and am very happy. As of today in call volume and speaker distortion were fixed. I think I'll stay on this one a while. Just wish it had lock screen shortcuts. =p

Buttons not functioning

Anyone ever have the home, menu, back, and search keys not function properly? Doesn't seem to be an issue with the ROM as I have tried a couple and have the problem on both all of a sudden.
By not function properly, I mean not function at all. Hitting those buttons has no effect.
Any ideas?

Started happening on ascension oblivion after about 3 weeks of using the ROM. Switched to chillybeans cm10.1 to see if that would fix it but no luck. I have also tried doing a few full wipes and reinstalling both ROMs.
Thinking about going back to stock to see if that fixes it, but really don't want to.

Turning them on didn't seem to fix my issue. However turning them off completely and using the navbar in cm 10.1 is working for me for now. Thanks for the tip.
Is it possible that the buttons not working is a hardware issue?

Do you have a screen protector on? I've never heard of em having issues though sorry to say.. of course i twist mine a little side to side outta boredom.. Semi take it apart you might have dust or dirt in there
No, don't have a screen protector on. I haven't heard of them not working either. Unfortunately, my phone is my only source of internet access for the next few days. So its not easy to do much research.

CM10.2 Nightlies Discussion

In the heritage of CyanogenMod discussion threads, here is a new one for the release of the 10.2 nightlies. Nightlies started on 8/26/13 (my b-day thanks aremcee). 10.2 will bring you up to Android 4.3 Jellybean.
If you are on 10 or 10.1, go to Settings > About phone > CyanogenMod updates, and change your update type to Nightly. Download, install, enjoy.
If you use Google Apps you must flash newer gapps. After CM update download the latest gapps here: http://goo.im/gapps. Currently the 10.2/4.3 package is 20130813. Reboot into recovery and flash the gapps zip.
Not on CyanogenMod? I recommend wiping everything and installing:
Download CM: http://get.cm/?device=p930
Download Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps
Change Log: http://10.2.cmxlog.com/?device=p930
I updated to 10.2 yesterday. Seems to be really smooth and generous on the battery. Obviously this is not a formal test. I'm not on WIND kernel anymore so I don't think my idle battery use is nearly as good. I hope he releases a 10.2 version soon.
Those of you having issues with no mobile signal from 8/27 on flash the baseband/firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842763
That will fix it.

trying 8/30 nightly apn's are working. Looks pretty good so far, will have to leave it on the phone for a day and see how things progress.
Is there a way to partially flash Gapps or is best to put them all on regardless of whether I use them?

You can open the zip with 7zip and remove the applications you don't want, then flash gapps zip.

I am having horrible issues with Google maps and cm10.2. After install and I run for the first time every thing works (as long as I am on WiFi). As soon as I go to run it the second time and go to navigation I have the following issues:
1. The recent location, home & work, & history/starred cards will flash for a second then disappear.
2. When I have the above state it takes 5 - 10 min to achieve GPS lock, then I loose it about every 5 min.
3. The green ribbon at the top no longer has the street name, just an arrow and the number of mile on the left and the letter mi on the right. Correct orientation should have the arrow, miles & mi on the left with the current road on the right, and then when you approach the turn the banner should get larger with the street larger in the middle of the banner.
4. If I uninstall and reinstall, I can get it to work the first time and as soon as I exit and go back into the app its back to being messed up again. Clearing data, cache & rebooting have no impact.
Can this be repeated by anyone else?
I do not have this issue with stock, cm10.x, miui, or any other ROM I have tried except cm10.2 4.3.

Found battery life was horrible for the 8.30 flash, phone never went into deep sleep. However just flashed the 9.1 and phone did go into deep sleep now.
