[Q] touch lag - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So I got my G Pad a little over a month ago and it was great. Now I've noticed that there's a delay between me pressing an on screen button and the option lighting up as confirmation that I've touched.
Can anyone help me fix it?

Hello..
If your tablet is still stock, I would do a Factory Reset.. BE AWARE if you choose to do that, you will ERASE EVERYTHING on your tablet.. And it will be as stock as it was when you took it out of the box.
If your tablet is rooted, you can create a backup of whatever ROM you are currently running and either reinstall it or try a different ROM to see how your tablet acts.
I don't think doing a simple Cache/Delvik wipe will resolve anything ( If you are rooted ).. it seems like you may just be out of memory/storage which will sometimes cause a device to lag when making inputs. The only other thing I can think of is, you recently installed an app that is really hogging resources and dragging your tablet down..
Be sure to come back and post your results based on what options you attempt to resolve this.. I'm curious to know what happens.

Thanks I'll try the factory reset
:good:

So I did a factory reset and it didn't make a difference I'm gonna deselect the option to restore everything to my tablet and see if that helps

[Q] G2 touchscreen delayed or unresponsive after CM7 update. Solutions?

This is my first time posting. I know how annoying reposts are, so I tried to find if anyone else had the same problems I have. Unable to find an answer, I seek a solution to my strange problem...
I flashed CM7 three days ago. Before flashing, I did a full factory reset, wiped cache, etc. I also performed a backup of rom, which was at the time CM6. Everything worked without a hitch for these past three days. I installed new programs, really enjoyed the new features. However, today, the screen suddenly became unresponsive.
It acts as though I am long-pressing something when I am not. It will not register even hard taps and when I try to hit the home key it brings up the most recent apps list as though I long-pressed. I have reset, but it keeps doing this. When I try to use an app where scrolling is required, it bounces back to the spot I started scrolling. Very frustrating. Any solutions?
At first I thought it was from installing swype beta, but after removing it completely, resetting, and reflashing, the screen continues to act up.
Flash your backup and see if you still have the same problem

Hey thanks for your suggestion. I've tried it but the screen problem continues. I even tried going back to the stock rom. Do you think it's a hardware issue?
Having the same problem using MexDroid for the G2...have to resort to the trackball half the time because the touchscreen doesn't work right or at all.
I reinstalled the ROM twice already and it keeps acting up at some random point after installing a few apps (none of which affect the touchscreen as far as I know). Tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions...nothing. Happens regardless of overclock settings too.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem... i.e. misery likes company... but I'm also sorry to hear that you have the problem, as well. There seems to be nothing that I can do at the moment. Since the phone is still under warranty, I guess I could just flash the original rom, factory reset, and send it back for a new one. I'd rather find a solution, though, in case it happens again.

The weird thing is that it only happens sometimes...like, sometimes I'll get 100% accurate/responsive touchscreen use, while other times I can pinch all I want and never zoom in. I think it might have something to do with my lowering the screen density - right now I have it at 140, and earlier at 190, and it seems that when I have the stock 240 or the 190, I have better luck with the touchscreen than with at 140...but the usefulness of the lower screen density outweighs the better touchscreen for me.

Major issue. launcher stopped

Hi Guys
Got a major problem.
My sgn now does not work.
When you turn the phone on it boots up as normal but then displays this -
Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped.
Report / ok
If you press report it sends a report and repeats, if you press ok it just repeats.
Can't use the phone at all. Took battery out and still the same.
The phone is stock with no mods, the only thing i have done is encrypt the phone today so i can she exchange email. Its been working fine since i did that now boom.
HELP!!!!!!!

Press and hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time as the power button and the phone will boot in to a bootloader and you can then use the volume buttons to select recovery mode, press the power button to confirm and this will basically reset the phone.
Please thank if this helps.

You most likely installed an app or widget not yet compatible with ICS.

Try to get into the settings first before doing a factory.If you are quick enough you should get there via the notification bar shortcut.
Go into apps - switch to "all" - search for the launcher and delete data. That should reset your launcher.
you might be able to clear your launcher data, might be more work then its worth though

Probably can't do anything with the launcher dead.
Factory reset seems to be the only option... although there was a problem with encryption staying on across factory resets (at least the password). If that's the problem, it could result in it failing every time.
I forget the solution the Guy found in that thread. Hopefully it doesn't come down to anything intense.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Maybe try to push an alternative launcher to the phone from the market website. Install and use the alternative launcher to trouble shoot and clear data on the stock launcher.

Home screen loading

Hello.
I have had my One X since its release and have had no problem with it. But now all of the sudden the homescreen has started loading all the time.
At one point today it loaded every singel time I backed out of the browser with the home button. Is there any fix to this other than a factory reset and hoping for the best?
thanks!
Did u change any seting in developer options? Namely the "dont keep activities". If so, uncheck it.
Developer options, don't keep activities.
Tick it, back out, go back, untick it. Job done.
thanks for your suggestions, but it did not solve the problem...

A simple restart of your phone should fix it.

Try check your RAM usage. If the RAM usage high this might be the problem.
Cause i had this problem also. I remove some games that use high volume of RAM and reset the phone. And the problem solve...
if you have rooted your phone try going to cwm and go to advance and fix permissions....
For some reason im constantly using over 800mb of ram, but nothing is using anywhere close to that... No root, and I would really love to not have to do a factory reset, tried removing some games and stuff now. But if it dosent help, its factory reset next
that worked

That seems to have worked for me, at least for the time being. Thanks. Now I just need Root and a tasty rom.
This worked for me! Cache may be the issue.
Download and install Android Assistant. Go to tools/cache cleaner/ and clear the cache. Then click the monitor tab and click the quick boost button. Bingo, problem solved for me at least and for a while I guess that's is until the cache gets full again. Good luck.
It worked for me

Thanks. IT worked for me. I unchecked "dont keep activities" and now my home screen is back to normal.
I have exactly the same issue. My RAM gets full and it keeps restarting apps. When I push the home button it looks like home screen restarts and needs to load again. Verry annoying! Tried the developper setting thingy now. Did already a factory reset but the problem was there again after a week or so.

I747m screen problem...please help!

Ive searched everywhere and can't seem to find anyone with a solution. Ive found a post with the same problem but no solution.
So yesterday my s3 started having problems waking up. Meaning when I lock it usually you bring up the lock screen by pressing the power button or home button. Problem is when I press either one, screen doesnt come on. The buttons do. If I tap the screen I can hear the ripple effect but the screen doesnt light up. I have to keep locking and unlocking till it finally works. Averege of about 6 tries. When I get a call most of the time the screen doesnt come on either. I can still answer since I know where the slider is. When I do turn it on everything works perfect. No flickering or any other issues. When it boots it works perfect...never fails. Just when I lock it.
I tried restoring already, thinking its a software issue...still does it. What piece of hardware could cause this? I'm stumped. Please any advice would be great.
I'm not rooted and running 4.1.1 oem rogers software.

My guess is that you have something draining all your RAM or being hard on your CPU. When you restored, did you factory reset?
You might have to backup your stuff, factory reset. Test it, if it still does it, bring it up with Rogers for a replacement. If it doesn't, reinstall your stuff until you find the culprit.
You could troubleshoot it also by uninstalling the latest apps you installed.

Like I said...Already did a factory reset. Meaning All apps were gone. Started fresh. Even without going through the first setup (setting up google account etc etc) if I lock the phone its hard to wakeup.
Phone is out of warranty so no go there....
I'm just not understanding what is causing it. I know the screen is fine...buttons are fine...everything points at a software problem. I found a post from a while back where someone was having the same problem....no solution was posted though. I even took the phone apart last night thinking a bad connection or something...disconnected the screen and reconnected it...didn't do anything.
If the screen was going bad wouldn't I have issues all the time? Once I wakeup the phone it works perfect...no flickering or anything. When it boots (which I've done like 30 times between today and yesterday) the screen has come on every single time perfectly fine. Everything tells me it's software related...but after doing a factory reset and running original firmware it seems as though it must be a hardware issue...but which component.
I know the phone wakes up when I press the buttons...I can see the menu and back buttons light up...and if I tap the screen the ripple sound is there...just the screen doesn't wake up....till I try a few more times....very frustrating.
Thanks Again for trying...if anyone has any ideas....greatly appreciated. I'll try and find original Rogers firmware and install with odin...see if that works....

Sounds indeed like software issue. I'm not so sure what would cause it on stock rogers though.
Either way, you can find the stock ROM on sammobile.com or on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822308
You'll need Odin to flash it. (It doesn't trigger the flash counter)

Did you buy your phone with a credit card? Some cc's have warranty built in. Mine doubles what the manufacturer offers.
Thanks for the link. I will try it tonight and post the results. Really hoping it works.

I downloaded the newest firmware. 4.1.2 official rogers. Problem persists. Must be a hardware issue. Thing is what could cause this? Is it the screen...is it the gpu? I imagine if its gpu the phone is only good for parts as I imagine its part of the motherboard. Oh well...might be getting the s4 sooner then planned.

If you're down for a little test, you could try with a custom ROM.
Use the link I gave you and flash pre-rooted Rogers' ROM. From there, install TWRP (or cwm) using goomanager (from the Play Store) and flash a custom ROM as per their instructions (Don't forget the Gapps).
Before anything though, make a backup
Never know, might save you some time on that S4.

Thanks. I might try it. Dont think I have too much to lose at this point. I always try and keep my phones nice so that when I get a new one I can sell the old one for good money to help offset the cost. This really messes with that system as the phone isn't worth much now...just bought an extended battery too...was planning to keep it for at least another 6 months.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
So just a quick update. For no apparent reason the phone started working fine again. It now turns on and off just fine. I'm not going to mess around with it anymore. That's really bizzare. I'll give it a couple days and will report back if it continuous to work fine or if the problem comes back. Thanks for the input.

I don't know much in that realm, but I read this one time - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34960691 - looks interesting if you know what you're doing. Anyway, all I really had to offer is attempting a cache wipe, which you probably tried. Besides that, if it happens consistently, you could experiment with disabling Xposed modules one at a time, for a day or so, and see if that reveals it. I have gotten black screen before from installing incompatible modules before, but it would just boot to the black screen. I haven't had it happen only occasionally like that. My guess would definitely be somewhere with Xposed. Maybe something clashing with built-in settings, ( I don't remember what it's called, but there's something that senses when yo pick up the phone, and it wakes up automatically - that kind of thing).
