Touch Problems - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I bought the mobile I have experienced problems with the touch (the touch is not responding properly, or ghost touchs happen). Change my phone and the same problem happens, try the phone from my cousin and brother, and the same problem happens. In normal use (navigation, internet, music, reading) is not annoying, but in the games it hurts much experience, because the touch stops responding indefinitely and acts on his own for a few seconds so I have to lock the mobile for the touch working again until the problem happens again. I've noticed that the problem occurs more frequently when the mobile is hot. Definitely not if the problem is software or hardware, because the problem happens on all phones I've tried. Maybe someone can help me, because I find no solution so far.
Also all phones I tried was : i9192
Thanks

This used to happen on my Galaxy S Advance when it was hot. Maybe it happens with all phones which are hot.

Ok, now I tried the screen protector and the problem persist. No more people have touch problems and possible fixs?
I don't think that I and my brother and cousin are the only with this problem.
Greetings!

It is my video, made a thread about it but couldn't link the video (needed 8 post)
The weird thing is that it works sometimes and sometimes like in the video. I am going to return the phone tomorrow, so sad it's a great phone.
Did you try a factory reset?

Yes have done that
Yep, same issue. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. While I'm playing a game and it doesn't work, i just press the power button and then press it again and unlock it and from then on it works flawlessly.

So I am not alone, what are you planning to do return it? I found one more on youtube that had this problem. It should be software related right?
Having no issues atall with mine that I can see, just tested it using 'phone tester' and it has no trouble recognising 10 touches which is way more than I could ever need it to do.

I hope the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a flawed touchscreen like my Nexus One.
No issues here. Tested it with an app and it was able to recognize 10 simultaneous touches.
I had those issues too. It happened to me in Onlive app for the first time and then in some another game using two virtual sticks. I am almost sure it is software related (maybe some incompatibility with ICS) because I have just installed the multi touch tester from the marker and it is working flawlessly (10 recognized touches).
I think it could happened to every Gnex user from time to time, it is just a matter of time.

When you have these issues in games try the multitouch tester, I think you will get like me in the video then. I noticed it in games and after that I tried the multitouch tester. Have been able to play zombie age now without any problems.
That's what I was talking about. After using the multi touch tester and getting normal results, I am fairly confident it is the software bug in ICS or Gnex itself. I am not sure what is causing the bug to "activate" though.
I think I am going to wait now returning the phone now when so many seems to have the same problem
I saw this and my heart sank. As long as its working normally in several testing apps then I'm confident it isn't a hardware problem like the nexus one.
Probably able to touch up any bugs with an update.
-sent from temp HTC Rezound waiting for Galaxy Nexus
Could also just be a compatibility issue with the game(s) itself and ICS
try testing it in your hand, and not on a surface.
does it still give you the same bug?

[Q] Continous Vibration

Hello people!
I am a new member with XDA Developers
Anyways, I would like to ask if any of you face this problem where at any random time the phone would start vibrating continously until you shut down the phone and is there a fix for this?

Hello and welcome the the XDA Forum!
I've found at time that the app "Whatsapp" when I get a message, My phone will constantly vibrate until the screen goes off for 5-10 seconds then it's fine until I turn the screen / unlock the phone, I think it's a common problem as I remember someone else had this issue.

Yes i also found that too, but sometimes I encounter the problem with SMS too. Never encountered this problem with my previous phones, the GALAXY Ace (GT-S5830) and the GALAXY 3 (GT-I5801)

When my profile switch app change profile and take phone to silent mode sometimes makes my W too...
The only solution reboot...

I have tried stock, Bagux's, Blacknote, Kezra, and deodexed rom.
maybe something to do with HW version?

Unfortunately mine too. No more idea.
Damn, mine is also REV 0.6 as well.
Still same problem
Mine also rev 0.6
Tried Rebel Rom, Bagux, Bionic Cow 2 v 7, stock DXLM3, stock XXLM8 , all still has the same random vibration.
And the vibration won't stop until you reboot.
Probably hardware related?
This happens to me since the first day I got this phone...
Honestly, it's annoying me !
Cause the only way to Stop it, is a reboot..
Sometimes it starts to vibrate in school, and as Im using a TPU SoftCase it's even more uncomfortable...
I thaught I was the only one, but seems like it affects all Wonders..
No matter which Rom I use, everytime the same Problem
A random time.

[problem] CM11 Black screen ISSUE {c1905}

Hello everyone. I've just installed few CM11-based roms (MIUI and AOKP) and noticed a strange thing. When I am just locking my phone and trying to unlock it after a while, screen doen's wake up. It just stays black and there is no reaction for power button. I have to reboot my phone by removing battery so that is really annoying. Stock was working fine, i hadn't notice anything like that. Anyone know the solution?

I found another solution i think. I just set up minimal CPU freq. over 400mhz and it's working fine. At least under the charger. You have to press it every single time or once and it's working fine then?
E: Without charger the same issue. Not solved.
I have the same problem and I think it has something to do with the proximity sensor.
Sounds interesting. Why do you think so?
Btw. I don't know why but I am happy that I am not alone with this problem.
Because:
Proximity Wake-Up support – prevent accidental wake-up of device by checking to see if proximity sensor is blocked (eg. Device is in a bag or pocket).

Looks like a hardware issue - you may need to have it physically repaired.

I had the same problem recently. I thought my little cousin killed it or something.
I read up on the net to see how to fix it. There were stuff like auto brightness, Wi-Fi, etc. Doesn't work.
Then somebody said to disconnect the battery and reconnect which worked for him...no luck for me (tricky taking it apart w/o breaking it).
I tried factory default and nothing.
Then I realized the last time I used this was months ago...Google pushed out an update.
So, I decided to reflashed it back to 4.4.3.
IT WORKED!!!
I tell you, nobody does software testing like they should anymore.
I wasted a couple of days to figure this out and reflash the device.
Give it a try.

Lock Screen unlocking problem guys, screen is unresponsive for 3 seconds.

after each lock when i turn the screen on with double tap or power button screen is unresponsive for good 3 seconds. This started happening after the latest camera fix update. When if i use aod and use the fingerprint through the aod this doesnt happen. tried reboot and factory reset with fresh install (no backups) tried safe mode. Same thing happens.
S20 plus exynos.
Yup happening to me too (s20+ exynos). For me the time of unresponsiveness is around 1-2 seconds. Happened after the latest update.
Yes, have been facing the same issue since "ATCH" update.
Yeah has been driving me nuts. Same problem.
I'm surprised this isn't gaining more traction? Can't be the only few experiencing this!?
Glad to see it's not only my device. Waiting for fix.
I have similar situation
I'ne noticed the same after the last update.

Seriously when it happens(which it does like 90% of the time i wake the screen) i feel like i'm using a cheap 100$ phone and not a 1000$+ flagship.

This. I'm afraid if it goes unnoticed by samsung we may have to face this issue for longer.
BTW any user here with Snapdragon that has this issue. Or is this exynos only ?

There is an app called samsung member where you can send error reports. I have already done it, its currently under review. I suggest everyone affected to do it.

Seems like a pertaining issue for Note 10 Users too. They found a trick and seems it works better now. Can you try this and let me know if it works better?
turn off the battery optimized for apps: com.samsung.android.biometric.
Go to Settings>Apps>Select "Special Access" from three dot menu>Optimise Battery Usage>select All from drop down menu>Search for "com.samsung.android.biometric"> Turn it off and Restart.

Did accordingly as above.
For a moment it felt like the issue is resolved!
But after checking several times I can confirm the issue still exists.

Ofcourse I did. In fact restarted one more time since it didn't resolve after the first restart, post disabling the optimization.

I did this already and while it feels like fingerprint is faster, unfortunately this is a screen issue. You see if the screen is off and i put the finger in the correct spot it always scans my finger without any lag. The issue is occurs when -
a) I have unlocked the phone using above way, then the screen becomes unresponsive right after unlocking.
b) The screen is off and i either press the power button or double tap to wake, then the screen will be unresponsive and its during this time the fingerprint scanner doesn't scan (because the scanner doesn't know it needs to scan since the touch is unresponsive)
so TL;DR its not a FP scanner issue.
I am quiet sure Samsung is already addressing this issue for next update.
