Hi everybody! I have been reading here that some people had this issue, but I don't see how they solved it. I've had this issue since the beginning.
Basically, screen sensitivity is very bad when the device is unplugged, only when it's plugged in or holding it with both hands it responds correctly.
This is a problem for me, because for studying, i put the a100 on its stand case, and only need one finger to slide a word or ppt. With this grounding issue, i have to touch the a100 with both hands to make it react properly, it's very annoying and uncomfortable.
Should I take it to the technical support? it's a hardware problem? I tried the build.prop from crossix and still the same. And tried the recalibrate.apk without any success. I don't know what else I can do.
I'm still in guarantee, i'm thinking seriously to take it to SAT. But i have unlocked bootloader, how can i revert it? How should i prepare the device to keep manteining the guarantee?
people who sent the a100 to SAT with this problem, it was solved?
thanks, I really need a fix for this
I have installed the official ICS rom and now it seems locked again, and I'm not root anymore. I think it's prepared for SAT, so I've called acer technical support, they will take the tablet for repair on tuesday 15.
I will post the results when they send it back to me, if someone is interested.
Did you try it after the update to ICS? the OTA ICS updates did wonders for the sensitivity of most of our tabs.
Yes, this is happening since the beginning when I bought the tablet with honeycomb, and still happens in ICS. Let's see if the technical support can fix it! because I really love this a100 thanks!
it makes any difference to upgrade by OTA or by flashing the rom that's here? I have flashed ICS, not by OTA
Is your build .14? That's the one that seems to fix the touchscreen problems.
I have had the touchscreen issues since day one also. Same issues, works fine without a case in two hands, one handed or laying it on a table/couch the screen is jumpy, random touches, and glitchy multi-touch. I've run 3.2 gen2, ICS .014, and ICS .017. I've even popped it apart looking for something simple (and to take a look at the wifi antenna), but nothing obvious found. I would have to guess it is a manufacturing defect.

Yes it's that build (downloaded from the russian link)
This happens also in the a100 of my uncle. He has not yet the build .14, but I'm starting to think this build won't work to fix that.
I thought this build would fix the problem, but...
I want to believe it's a problem with some tabs and I had bad luck, and that technical support will fix it.
I've made this video showing the problem.

Definitely a problem with your tablet, mine is perfect.
I have similar problem but not bad us yours .. but iam out of luck because i buy it from ebay with no gurantee
I will send it tomorrow, we will see what happens xD
today my dear tablet have been sent to be repaired. I hope it will be with me soon again! xD I'll keep informing!
I've just received an email saying that my tablet is repaired! they will send it to me in the next days, very fast! I don't know if this is good or bad... xD

Well about all I can do is wish you good luck buddy
I just got a refurb off of ebay and it has a 90 day warranty thru Acer, and the fella I purchased it from.
I am not having any issues with the screen even using the stylus they sent with it.
I tried the stylus to see what the hype was with a stylus and found it to be just that hype.
Do you have any type of screen protector on your tab?
Sometimes certain ones can cause issues.
If your device is under warranty I would let them fix it.
yes I have a screen protector, but the issue is there even without it.
I will tell you when i recover my tab and see if it's fixed xD
yea its the device itself i had problems with mine.. it had become completely unresponsive after i rooted it and installed ics i sent it back to the factory took almost a month and got a new one i suggest u do the same
How do I get a new one? today I have received mine and the problem doesn't seem fixed I wonder what they did to think it was resolved

To be honest I didn't think the problem would be resolved. Contact them again and tell them the problem is not resolved; I'm sorry to say this seems like a design issue.
On the other hand, maybe you are being overly critical? My tab works well, but if I want to make the touchscreen seem less than perfect, then I would have no problems doing so. However, in practice this is a non-issue, and I have not had a problem with either my previous tab (which I sent back because it stopped charging) or my current tab (which I've had for 5 days). Of course, this is after upgrading them to official ICS releases.
I don't think I'm being critical, the fact that I can't slide a document properly without having to hold the tab with both hands is very very annoying for me, since I want it to study and the idea was to keep the tab in a stand in the table and touch it only for sliding for example. I stopped using it for this purpose due to that.
Moreover, my mother has another cheaper tablet and tactil control works so much better... In the same situations that my tab. I envy her for that, cause my tab is over 200€ more expensive and it's suposed to be better xD
I have an exam today, i will try to find time to call acer to tell them the problem is not solved.
Hi guys, I have a weird problem and I need your advice.
My brand new galaxy Note 3 Sm-N900T is having screen blackouts....
Its like after the screen timeout the screen goes off and then when I press the power button it doesn't go back on again.
Or if I turn the screen off it doesn't go back on again... the buttons are working the sounds are on, I can answer calls and everything but the screen is black.
If I play with it (pressing power or home buttons) for a while it comes back on. Sometimes the phone restarts (rarely, I think because i press power button).
I have tried everything from playing with settings to wiping the cache and resetting the phone few times.
It looks like its a software issue to me, or maybe sensor.. but i think that when power button is pressed the screen should turn on regardless of sensors.
I do have the custom S-Case but I had the issue even before I got that.
Now.. I have few choices :
1. Go to t-Mobile and get a replacement.. probably refurbished, not a fact that the problem will away because I heard of lots of people having this issue ...
I of course do not want to do that.. I have this phone for less than a month.
2. Wait for KitKat....
3. install some kind of custom rom and see if problem goes away.
If anyone can help, Id really appreciate it.
I would do an exchange.. you paid good money for it and a defect is a defect, I wouldn't depend on a 3rd party patch for this

go to the store for change this defective note.
This may be jelly bean bug... Lots and lots of people report the same problem...
If I replace my piece I will probably get a refurbished one with a great chance of having this or some kind of another problem......

sucks man.
I know on my htc onei have the purple camera problem but everything else was fine. they had to send me 2 replacements because the first one had a yellow screen and worse camera then mines.
Tmobile doesnt even check there replacement. Most of the time there phones that people traded in. And all they do with those is a power on check.
Now if you just got the phone and within the 14 exchange you can take it to the store and get a brand new one.
Had it for more than 2 weeks now.. since i was always playing with it i did not notice the problem .. (the screen was always on).
I called Samsung and Tmobile. I told tmobile that samsung said i have a defective phone. so Tmobile is sending me a "Like new" phone meaning that someone returned it within 14 days. I get to check it and if i dont like it i will just send them their phone back. and suddenly mine doesnt do the problem for 30 minutes lol.. maybe it got scared. Personally i think that KitKat would fix it.
Any force closes? I had this problem too untill I stopped using the crapy My Magazine bloatware, which was also sometimes force closing...
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
No, no force closes, but one time it was funny, a little bit of status bar appeared from the bottom and on top it was a little bit cutoff.... like someone slid the screen up few pixels.
And whatever was cut just came from the bottom. Its weird... for $700 phone it should be flawless... I hope they dont send me crap phone and i hope they dont send my phone to someone else.
How can i get rid of it to see if that was the problem?
My phone works perfect and I had if since the first week they came out. .. It's not a jellybean thing you phone has a problem. ..

I figured id try to reflash (not data reset, but reflash via Kies) so far so good no problem.
The whole thing looks like soft prob, not hard.
If it comes back Ill let you know. This could be a nice fix if works.
I'm in nyc, and my local store called the warrenty center and got me a brand new SGS2 one time. It still had all the blue plastic in the sim card and sd card slots, and plastic on the screen. So I'm know they can request it, just depends on your store if they are willing.

My sgs2 had problems out of the box. After I installed custom ROM they went away. It does happen. Restored stock via Odin, still no problems. Sometimes the software doesn't flash correctly from the manufacturer.

Well, I dont know what to think anymore... Looks like the problem persists but happens so rare that without the past I wouldnt notice it.
This makes me believe that with KitKat it will probably disappear. If soft changes cause this to go away or be less it means (to me) that the phone is not defective. New phone is still on the way, to bad I did not purchase it at local store... I did it online, so there is no one to yell at.
It will arrive on Feb 6th so I have plenty of time to test my phone, with some luck KitKat will roll out during this time and then I will be able to definitely see. And if new phone is cool I have the option of exchange anyway .
Thank you all for your help, keep posting, its an interesting issue.
:/
Phone went worse and worse everyday ... now the S-Pen "Air Command" doesnt pop up, several weird disfunctions...
Waiting for the replacement.
So, I got a Tab S a couple of months ago and then about a month ago I started having some trouble with it. Lines flashing down the screen and the screen turning off. I'd have to lock and unlock to get the screen back on. Sent it to Samsung for repair and they sent it back about two weeks ago saying they couldn't find a problem. Well, the problem is definitely still there so today I took a video. Samsung said I would have to send it back in for more tests and that they would not watch the video. I'm afraid they're not going to find anything again so I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and could help.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 glitch: https:// youtu.be/ 7kOFewYbNzw
That's the video, remove the spaces
Does it still happen when you use power saver mode?
When the display goes blank, you press the power button twice, once to enter sleep mode, and again to wake it up, so it looks like a loose display connection or a faulty display, does the screen ever come back on without pressing the power button.
Does the brightness level effect how often the display goes blank?
John.
Thanks for getting back to me. It does still happen on power saving as it turned that on not long after I took the video. Screen brightness I'm not sure though because I packaged it back up to return or send for repair, whichever I decide is best to do.
This happend to me 2 times in the 6 months I have the tab s, seems more like a software thing for me.
All you can do is a factory reset, then install no apps (in case they cause the fault) and see if the problem is still there, if it is, all you can do if you are still in warranty is get an replacement or repair.
John.
I've got the tablet back out of the box while I wait for my repair packaging. I did a factory reset when I got in from work and restored a backup and straight away I had to the same problem. I've now done another reset but with out restore, I haven't even logged in to my Google account. So I'm thinking it's either an app I have installed, not that there were that many or some of the factory installed apps I disabled/removed. I don't think the restore from backup reinstalled apks such as remote play and show box so they can't have been the problem. Could deleting any of the factory apps cause any problems?
You can only delete factory apps when you are rooted, any you have delete without root will make no difference to your tablet stability, try and use the stock apps and see if the error shows.
John.
I've disabled a couple of them like New York times and the office suite one. It's working faultlessly at the minute. The problem is when it came back from Samsung it was working fine for about a week and then the problem returned so I can't be sure if I've solved anything or its just a ticking time bomb.
I don't know how Samsung tests the tablets, they will just send it back if they cannot find a fault, download a couple of benchmark apps, to stress your tablet and see if the fault shows up, see if increasing the brightness while benchmarking doe anything.

Just ran Geekbench 3 adjusting brightness from lowest to full and nothing, worked fine. I'm at a loss, I know that if I send it back to Samsung they're not going to find anything and spoke to Very today, they won't refund me without Samsung authorising it.
Is that Very UK, if so they send phones and tablets for repair, if they cannot repair your phone/tablet in 30 days they give you a refund unless as you said the manufacture says to refund.
Hopefully your problem will not show again, but it could have been an downloaded app, or an update to an stock app that causes the problem only time will tell.
I suppose you are on lollipop, I decided to stay on Kitkat as it`s super stable for me.

Yeh it is, but I bought it a couple of months ago. And they've have to find the fault first.
Hello i have similiar kind of problem i mean it shows stripes and boom reboot or sometimes screen goes black.I wonder if you found any solution?
Have you done a factory data reset from the settings menu, you will loose all internal user information so backup first.
If you have done an reset and still have the problem and you are on the stock rom and have not flashed an rom and have not rooted then you have an hardware fault.

If you are out of warranty check the battery as it sound like an bad connection or a bad battery, there are guides on youtube on how to get the cover off the tablet, you can buy a kit from the link below for $65 or cheaper on ebay for the battery and pry tool.

So, I bought the Huawei watch in November 2015 and everything was working fine till Thursday last week. Thursday is when I bought the new HTC 10, so I had to factory reset the Huawei Watch in order for it to sync with the HTC 10. After doing that and syncing with the HTC 10, I have noticed that none of the sensors on the watch work anymore. By sensors I mean pedometer, heart rate sensor, gestures etc.
I have done a factory reset several times and also tried pairing and syncing the watch with other android phones, still the same result.
Can someone help me please, as this looks like a software problem as the watch has not been damaged or anything and it was working absolutely fine before I did the factory reset.
Google fit is installed?

Yep, it still did not work, I just sent it back to Amazon for a refund.
Must be a software glitch. Mine started acting up a couple of days ago. At first I noticed the screen would go to sleep although I had "Always on" on.
Today I noticed that neither the pedometer nor the HRM are working...
Same here.. for few days already hrm pedo and gyro? Not working. Never installed an update tho.

Has to be a software glitch if many people are facing similar issues, all the hardware sensors cannot just go faulty all of a sudden.

Any solution to propose or did it just start working again on its own? Mine's sensors are still dead...
i just did factory reset using the recovery. then after that still not working. then tried paring to other phones. 3 phone to be exact, then it started working. im pairing it to the original phone now no issues again so far.

do you tend to wash your watch? or submerge it into water?

Nope, never. Always remove it before showering. It's supposed to be waterproof to 10m as well.
I think it has something to do with the latest android wear update, since all the issues started around then (for me it was May 19th). It cannot be a coincidence that everyone's watches started going wrong around that date.
just restart your watch then try again.
I have already restarted/factory reset the watch many times to date and still no luck.
Me too sir how i can do for make it work again
Dear all concerns ,
Now , my watch can touch and i just install to 6.0.1 version but i can't using Heart rate sensor and another sensors anymore How i should to do ?
Thank you so much for kind support
I have the same problem, the sensors do not work. Some solution? Restart factory settings I have done several times. Thanks
same problem

Last I have seen that Huawei has made a deal with Samsung to use Tizen. They are not happy with Google not letting them customize Android Wear.

I know it is a problem with the android wear app. Does someone know how to fix it accept to the returning solution?

If you do a system wipe, and still have the issue, you'll either have to get it serviced or replaced... or strap a vibrator to it.

It's probably a hardware issue if you did a factory data reset and it still vibrates constantly after your done.. If you made any changes or settings adjustments then try putting them back to defaults, or uninstall anything you may have installed recently (maybe a rogue app).
You can try going to safe mode and seeing if it still vibrates all the time.
IMHO the simplest approach (if possible) is if you can get it replaced by Amazon I would just do that and not try to delve to much more into it.

Yeah Samsung won't touch my international phone. Ubreakit said they'd fix mine, and for cheap. But fortunately for me, the seller was kind enough to replace the phone. And it stopped working after ten days of opening. Very irritating when something so simple, yet important and expected to work without issues can cause such a hassle.
