Well, it seem every phone I use in last 6 month getting this disease when you swipe or touch on screen and nothing happens, or when you press one key on keyboard and it inputs completely different character from opposite side of the screen...
Just now I had the same exact crap going on on Nitro!
I pressed and hold on back button on the gb keyboard and it was acting like I'm pressing random keys at 50 keys per second!
But before that I had trouble unlock the phone, since the slide off motion didn't register at all, the slider would move a few pixels and go back.
The weird fact is the most noticeable this occur when phone is plugged in and charging, unplug it and problem usually goes away or at least become manageable.
What the hell I'm doing to these phones that causing this? Actually this is the first phone where I f.k with the system files, all others I either used CWM or market, nothing else.
I have not had any touch screen issues with this phone other than its just a hair less sensitive compared to my captivate.
[email protected], are you a ghost? I have heard that sometimes phones will act strangely during use if you are a ghost. Something to do with spiritual electromagnitism. This would also explain why you are having compass issues!
Okay, so back to being serious. I've had the EXACT same issues you speak of when my phones (yes, this has happened to other phones too) were connected to 'dirty' power.
What I mean by 'dirty' is either a power supply that was very low quality or using a USB cable that the phone didn't like. Just recently my Nitro was acting erratically while I have it plugged into my computer. It shouldn't have been a problem because I was using a high quality, well shielded Blackberry branded cable (worked perfectly fine with my Nexus One), but as soon as I used the usb cable that came with the Nitro then everything worked correctly again.
Hope this helps!
i had that promblem today ... but nothing i did fixed it so i was able to pull the battery and do a dreded hard reset and its working as good as gold now

Just got the same problem. Tried everything listed here to fix it. No luck.
Any other suggestions ?
I've found what Namuna said to be true. Also, I experienced this issue with my phone plugged into the power strip on the nightstand. Apparently there is a grounding issue in that power strip.

Could be it. I use a power bar also. Plus I think I'm using a cable from a galaxy nexus now that I think about it.
Maybe I'll try to find an official lg cable.
Thanks again.

I haven't had a complete loss of touch responsiveness, but I have experienced the erratic behavior; but only when plugged in and only while charging in AC mode. I've noticed this a lot more since I dropped my phone with the charging cable attached... I can be in USB mode and the slightest touch will knock it off charge yet I have no touchscreen problems. Once, every now and then, I am lucky enough to get into fast charging AC mode; which is much more stable as far as touching and using while charging... but the screen is almost unusable due to the erratic touches. I turned on "show touches" in developer options and while in AC mode, it shows multiple touches in a horizontal line relative to where my finger is. It even affects my soft keys.
Happens with every charger I've tried; my original charger, both HTC chargers I have, and a charger I found a few weeks ago. I've experienced the problem in my house, multiple hotels, and a few other places; both with and without a power bar. Pretty much, what I'm saying, I'm sure I've been connected to a good grounded source of power, yet I still experienced those problems.
Out of curiosity... have any of you either replaced or had your digitizer replaced? I've replaced mine twice, and my problems began shortly after cracking the screen the 2nd time.
Well i tried the charger that came with my optimus g (using a power bar ) and it seems to work fine now.
One more thing i did was try it without my memory card for a bit. I don't know if that had anything to do with it also.
Anyways so far so good.

My Galaxy Sii X rocks but one thing is driving me crazy!
I use my phone as my alarm clock so its on the night-stand and I charge it every night. I plug it in to charge, hit the screen button on the side to go into Sleep mode, turn off all sync with my emails and everything is good.
HOWEVER, once the phone hits 100% full charge the screen comes on, stays on and very annoying as it not only lights up the room and wakes me up but also I am scared that if left on it will burn the image onto the screen.
I am running with Telus as my provider. Samsung Galaxy Sii X model SGH-T989D
Android version: 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich Kernal: 3.0.8
I have checked my settings and not sure if I am overlooking something or what. Pls help!

My brother's lg optimus does the same thing. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly what it is but run a logcat -c before you go to bed with it plugged in. And then when you see the screen is on, run logcat -d and post results. That should tell us what's happening during the night.

OK - stupid ques but how do I do that? I am still somewhat of a rookie at this whole Android thing.
Just reach over and turn the screen back off... does it stay off after that?
I've also read that a battery pull has solved this for some. It could also be a specific app you have.. for example the screen lights up when charged but another app is stopping it from turning back off..
Also it could be the charger if its not the one for the phone.

I never thought about the charger - could that be it? I am using the one currently for my HP Touchpad - never thought that a piece of hardware would have anything to do with it.

I don't understand everyones answer...all s2s light up and tell you the battery is fully charged...it's not an app or bad charger...you should also get a little green battery in the status bar...on gb it would light up and make a loud beep...but for ics they took out the beep cause that was really irritating...darkside's custom rom took that feature out...but it is normal...the screen should go off in your desired time unless you have the screen to stay on when plugged

Try using it as a clock. Keeps it dark during the night, plus it's very useful. Just go to clock app, and long press.

Hi friends, from last week am facing a display issue in my desire z mobile. The display changes the colors when ever i unmask the KB or sometimes even when it masked... when i googled for this problem i came to know that the ribbon cable is loose. so i decided to open the mobile and reconnect the cable. I did everything perfectly, but when i repaired and turned on the mobile , the screen is black.. only after rebooting (by hearing the welcome tone) my menu keys start lighting and by pressing the power key my screen turns on. Even i cant see the boot loader page ..
I think this could be a software issue, but i dont know how operating with the hardware can mess up the software
Friends please guide me
Something is up with the ribbon cable either it came loose again when u were putting back together or its broken.
I actually fixed mine today, it was wearing through the black outer part and was making the screen jump during scrolling and long pressing when only tapping.
I fixed it with a small piece of electrical tape placed over the exposed part. I guess it grounds out once it becomes exposed.
U only have to remove the mother board from the phone to really see most of it.
What exactly did u do? Is there an exposed part of the ribbon from wear and tear?

sorry i cant get your way of cleaning the connectors. could you please elaborate me the cleaning process? Then bro, still i dont know why i was not able to see the bootloader screen and the bootup animation... but after booting up mobile works fine... so confused
Sorry use a cotton swap dipped in the alcohol to clean the connector on the cable and mother board.
Does the phone have a custom recovery? If so what happens when u boot into it?

no it doesnt have any custom recovery. first i come across the screen colour fault, so i rerooted my phone to claim warranty, but unfortunatly i was not able to claim the warranty. so i felt to open the mobile myself and tight the ribbon. After attempting this repair now new problem araised ie i cant even see the bootloader page and boot animation.. but the phone is working fine..
whenever i turn on the mobile the black screen remains , then i will here boot tone then my soft key lights will lighten, then i will press power butto, then my lock screen will pop up. this is my situation.
Dont know what to do
First let me try your cleaning option, but could you advice me something other than the alcohol ?
Alcohol is the best cuz its sterilizes and dries fast. U don't need to soak it just to get the cotton swab wet and shake off excess and dab it on the connections. If u rub it might get cotton stuck. U could also use a keyboard dust blaster or some kind of compressed air to blast away any particles.
The main thing is to make sure u connectors are down all the way and not to have any tension while putting it back together.
If u separate both halves of the phone make sure u connect to the back of the motherboard after u have tightened down the brackets that keep the two pieces together.
Are u trying to avoid having to remove the sticker while loosening the motherboard?

dont know what to do. Its just a 3 month mobile, cant lose it
Ur doing something wrong all ur problems has to do with the cable. That cable connects the screen to the motherboard
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
I think the proper response is replace the flex cable, they do go bad and for the most part I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. Technology fails from time to time, about 20$ or so and relatively easy to replace
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
yes i think i have to replace the cable, but now i think i damaged the digitizer too..so i have to change both the ribbon cable and digitizer.
but i dont know why i cant see the bootloader and the boot animation.
thats my main problem now..
as i want to root my mobile again i need the bootloader page, guys please help me on this
then anyone having a desire z for sales?? (2nd hand sales ?)
I would probably just replace the ribbon cable before doing anything else digitizer is tied into the ribbon cable as well.

I too had the same issue.. I think the HDR option is not working in that ROM, so you better turn off the HDR.
I apologize for my english, i'm french..
I've the same problem. After a 1 meter-fall, it fell to the ground flat. Since, it doesn't work.
When i press the power button, the phone seems to start : vibration, and the sensitives touchs light. But i can't see anything on the screen, it stay black...
Do you think it can be the LCD screen to repair or the ribon cable ? If it was the ribbon cable, the sensitves touchs didn't turn on, don't you think ?
Thanks for your help, and again i'm sorry for my basic english..!

We cant guess it without testing. In my case i first faced problems regarding ribbon cable and slowly the prob builds up and now my screen is full back. But in your case it is most likely to be the lcd part.
So, better you make a test about it by swapping it into another phone or so..
then one more thing, even if the ribbon cable fails some part of it may work like sensitive light and touch..
I had the same problem. Just get the cable replaced.
Hi I have a note 2 and replaced the screen completely before that the phone was working perfectly. I assembled everything back checked that everything was connected putted the battery tried to turned on and nothing. I also connected to the charger and still nothing no charging doesn't boot up. What could be happening here I double checked everything and nothing is missing if anyone could help me I'll appreciate it
Random guess, but like a computer you could have had static electricity and not grounded prior to working and fried your motherboard

man this is scary as I broke my screen on july 4th and is waiting for my replacement screen to arrive. I'm going to try to replace the screen myself. Maybe you broke a wire or something while you were detaching the screen from the digitizer.
Now i'm nervous about doing the screen replacement myself...oh wells, gotta save some money...lol
I think I know why it doesn't work is because I'm trying to use the n7100 screen on my sgh-t889 this version of t-mobile uses the n7105 screen and I bought the wrong one. That's why it won't work

Well, I hate to point out the obvious, but apparently that is not the case.
Did you wear some type of non-conductive gloves when you were doing this? handling circuitry with bare hands is a big no no. It is very possible that you ruined the device simply by touching it.
Here is what I would do (not anything but troubleshooting to pin point a possible problem really):
Warranty the thing.
Good luck.

How do you know the replacement screen is not bad itself..
have you tried connecting it to the computer and getting into download mode or seeing if the phone is ACTUALLY Working..Also a bad or cheap lcd could have shorted something out if you are sure you did not do so replacing it..
Sorry for your luck but it sounds like you need another note 2 phone for some testing. or RMA THE LCD and try another .
Good LUCK
so my incredible was having bad battery issues, i have to move the cable a certain way to charge, and it would only be on for 2 minutes before turning off. so i replace the charging port.
now for some reason, the orange light charge the phone but it wont turn on, atleast theres no display, or sound. when i go to turn it on i feel vibration and all the capacitive buttons light up.
now i was real careful when putting it back together, i didnt even disconnect more than what i had to. does anyone think its a loose connection, or is the pohne finally dead?

i heard the ones for the screen and digi are tricky to reconnect, so i didnt bother messing with them since i didnt touch them when opening the phone.
i got it fixed, im thinking the little orange stickers kept on dislodging the connected, so i was careful in a way to put the sticker back on without messing with latch. so display works now
thanks chilly
