[Q] Ghost Touches on Stock EVO

I have the EVO Rooted (the real way) and ever since installing cy's senseless RC I've been having issues with the screen registering a tap on the top left corner about 1/4th the way down the screen so I'm constantly closing the calander or whatever else I have in that area, this is including programs, phone calls etc. I was literally fighting with my phone the other day. Now I've reinstalled a 2.1 rom and it didn't do it and I've installed multiple 2.2 roms and it still does it. I thought it might be the fps uncapping hack most people include so I figured once the stock rom from sprint came out and was rooted for us it would fix my problem. Wrong... Now I'm stuck between a rock and a sprint store as I can't make it happen constantly but it happens maybe 5 times throughout the day and I have to just wipe my fingers over the area of the screen and its usually fine. I want to install the Stock rom, essentially un-rooting my phone but then if that fixes the problem I cant take it back and exchange it at sprint. Or I cant make it happen for them and then I'm stuck again with a phone that I can't root. Any ideas guys, is this happening to anyone else? I've researched online and haven't seen anyone else with a similar problem.

first off, whats the "real way" for rooting?
if unrooting fixes your problem whats the problem? is there some reason you MUST have a rooted phone? are you doing anything that you otherwise couldnt do with a rooted phone?
many people are experiencing phantom screen presses (myself included), also many people arent.
if its a rom issue, then check in the dev secion for the rom and see if anyone else is having this problem. sounds like a screen problem.

The real way for rooting not the unrevoked method.
Every rom after a certain kernel version does it to my phone but I couldn't begin to guess which one with all of these different version floating about. I can flash back to EVOlutionX and it doesn't do it, not that I've seen yet. If unrooting my phone fixed the problem then as I said I obviously would not be able enjoy a rooted phone. I'm not even going to begin listing the benefits of a custom rom or creating my own which I've done in the past. I was going to post in all the particular rom threads but I figured instead of posting multiple repeated threads since it happens in ALL of them, then I would do the forums a favor and post in the general Q&A section as I did. So who else is having phantom screen presses as myself and nenn are, and have you done anything to correct the problem?
Update: I found a forum post on another site of a person who took the OTA update 1.47 completely stock and its doing the same thing. I think I'm going to wait until its happening and catch it on video and then flash back to stock and take the evo in for warranty replacement. Hopefully they will accept this as reason for replacement.

[Q] N7 shutting itself off at night

So my first N7 had dead pixels and when I returned it I had to open 3 others in store to find one that was perfect. Or seemingly perfect. Twice now I've woken up to find my N7 off. The first time it happened I thought maybe I turned it off but last night I know I left it on. I did some searching and found that I am not the only one with this issue, but I haven't found any recent threads about it or any known fixes. Now I'm still on 4.3 and really don't want to update to 4.4 but if this bug was addressed I'll update it. Anyone here have this issue, found a fix, or updated and had the issue disappear? I really don't want to exchange it yet again but I will if it's the only way to get one that doesn't do it. Any insight would be appreciated.

Why don't you want to update to 4.4.2? It might solve the problem.
Anyway, the only device I had that had random reboots was my Nokia Lumia 520 which I straight away replaced.
I would advise you to do it aswell incase 4.4.2 doesn't fixe it.

I don't like the way 4.4 looks. I am a big fan of the blue/holo theme of 4.3. I have 4.4 on my N5 and that's enough for me. 4.4 really doesn't bring much to the table (for me anyway) that would compel me to update.
My N7 isn't rebooting, it's turning off. Never had a device that did that before. I'll probably update just to see if it stops it, and plus I have some bad stuttering when watching embedded videos in chrome and from what I've read, 4.4 solves that too. I really don't want to have to exchange it again, and I'm sure the manager at Best Buy doesn't want me to either lol.

Obvious question here but have you tried a factory reset?

I'm going to tomorrow if it does it again tonight. But the tablet is only a few days old and I already did a factory reset before I set it up initially.

Ok it just did it again right in front of my face. It didn't just go black in the middle of use, I picked it up to use it and before I could do anything it powered down, but did so as if I had deliberately done it. Meaning, the Power Off pop up was on the screen and it said "shutting off" the same way it does when you turn it off manually. That would lead me to believe it would be a software bug as opposed to a hardware one... am I correct in that assumption? Or can some hardware defect actually trigger the normal power down sequence?

Persistent Auto-Rotation Problems

Hello everyone,
Before people start asking me to search the forums, I have searched for months about this issue and I'm hoping that we'll finally get a proper answer from some kind devs who are willing to take time to really debug and trace this issue.
I got a Nexus 7 2013 a looong time ago, used it on pure stock, locked boot loader, no root, no recovery, nothing. All the way until KitKat and the issue was never resolved. Can't remember when it started but the rotation gets stuck just randomly throughout use and doesn't work anymore, sensors show no data as others have reported, etc. Reboot and voila it works again. Rinse and repeat.
So I tried unlocking and flashing CM11 M7 at last. Same thing.
The thing that drives me up the wall is how little attention the issue is being given. Google barely acknowledges it, and not a single hint in the XDA forums of where the issue originates. Kernel, ROM? It's obviously most likely fixable via software if a simple reboot can fix it... We just need someone to start debugging.
I'd appreciate it if anyone who has the same issue or info about it post it below
Thanks

No ideas other than to suggest that you do an RMA with ASUS. I just looked and I pre-ordered mine through Best Buy and it shipped July 26 of last year so you might still have time left on the one year warranty.

Hey, I hope this topic is still alive. Mine has exactly same issue as yours. It all started after I re- clean flashed Mahdi ROM (I messed up some stuff so I had to do it). Ive tried clean flash again, but it doesn't work. I've also tried different settings and apps but nothing helped. The only thing I found working is turning on lockscreen blur. For some reason, it makes the rotation work for a bit longer.

Anybody lag on keyboard

Hi everybody,
I've got a 16Gig nexus 5x which I recently purchased, and everything works fine but I have a very silly problem, but definitely critical to me.
I just have a problem with the backspace button of the keyboard which sometimes it seems very laggy. I mean when I write something and want to clean it with the backspace button and push it bunch of times it works with lag.
I tested all other buttons on keyboard and also tested a bunch of other keyboards but the problem is still existing.
Can anybody please help me with this issue? It can be a harware problem? I mean tauch problem?
I will really appreciate if anyone just gives me a hand with this....

I've the same problem as you. My keyboard would lag sometimes especially on the far right side of the screen. It would lag for a sec or two and goes back to normal.
Anyone else having the same problem??

Thank you buddy,
So you think It is software or hardware problem?

I've just checked my keyboard in both portrait and landscape and all the buttons respond very well. Maybe it's the rom your on? If your on stock I would say it might be your phone. Another thing I found after running a quick google search is that it seems most people complain about this while the phone is charging. If so then your not the only one but I've never noticed this myself.

No problems here.
Try clearing keyboard cache and data.

I'm also having the same problem. I'm on stock. Tried clearing keyboard cache. Replaced the keyboard with third party one. Still no progress.

I'm having the same issue with the back button while clearing text, it's intermittent, doesn't happen all the time. I'm on PureNexus ROM.

I've tried different ROMs and different third party keyboards and still I have the issue. Now I have pure stock ROM... It's so annoying to me. I really want to look for reason and solution..

Same thing here. Its most noticeable when using backspace.

Go into developer mode and force GPU rendering. That should solve your problem.

I did, but still have the issue... Nothing happened...the same lag is still on going...

I had occasional typing lag - MHC19J seems to have fixed it/improved it a lot though.

That's a good news, would you please guide a bit much more? Who is MHC19J? How can fix myself too?
I really appreciate

Thank you buddy,
Would you please tell us about the process? How can we fix it?
Thanks a million for it :good:

MHC19J is the latest stock android build for the nexus 5X. After the March security update (build number MMB29V) a further update was released incorporating a few other changes with the build number MHC19J.
The MHC19J build has been widely reported to help with the 5X in several areas such as performance and memory usage for a lot of (but not all) people.
You can either wait for your phone to receive the update which is rolling out slowly, or flash it manually by downloading the factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - I chose to download and flash the whole image which wipes all your data etc but does give you a nice fresh install. Just make sure you back everything up first.

Thanks buddy,
But I checked I am on the same build MHC19j. But I got it through OTA. I give it a try with fresh image install and I hope the problem would fix on it.

Sorry to hear the update hasn't helped you. It vastly improved (but did not eliminate) by keyboard falling behind while I was typing then suddenly catching up on the missed words I had typed.

I'm on MHC19J and I still have that Keyboard lag. Especially when pressing 'Backspace'. Tried many Customs roms. Custom kernels. Hasn't solved my problem yet.
I upgraded from a G2 to N5X. And i'm regretting the decision i made. Not only G2 didn't had any problems with touchscreen. It didn't even had touchscreen lag like on N5X. Whenever i'm typing it feels like keyboard is catching up to me after few milisecs which is frustrating to say the least.

How is it possible that some people have this problem the others not?

Gestures too sensitive?

Hey everyone. I recently got my watch. Came with 5.1.1 and no issues. After updating to 6.0.1 my watch has a mind of its own. Keeps moving pages up and down and going back and forth without touching the screen. Anyone know a solution or has a similar problem? Already tried factory reset.

Same here. Sometimes it triggers gesture when I'm scrolling through a gmail text and it's quite annoying.

I turned gestures off which works better for me.

Ok, so i'm not the only one with this issue. Is it a software bug that might get a fix or an issue with hardware?

Most likely a software issue.
