Started using Cyanogenmod with my Z1 compact, with the original rom I had no trouble with the touchscreen but with CM there are now some problems.
Sometimes the screen is not reacting or the screen is doing stuff that I did not want to do. When typing messages a lot this whole issue is getting out of hand, because the screen is sometimes selecting randomly characters or just not reacting when I want to type.
Screen on and off helps sometimes. But that cannot be the solution :/ Any ideas how to get rid of this problem?
I have the same Problem. Im also on CM11 M12. Thought it might be a Hardware Problem but good to know, that im not alone with that. I did not experience this with stock Rom too. Would be interesting if this is a known Problem.

I dont think that could be a hardware problem, as you said on original rom everything is fine.

As I see the bug is there since 3 months: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5689
Nobody is working on this issue :crying: How can they ignore such a big bug?
Probably it would be smart if other people also would open a new ticket there about this issue with their .log so this stuff gets attention.
As for me the problems are the most common when humidity is rather high. So everytime after taking a shower it is impossible for me to use the phone without these annoying Touchscreen issues. Before i flashed cm i never had this problem, i used the phone in the rain without problems. So i think it may be, that the Touchscreen is just not calibrated correctly and it is a lot more sensitive towards external influences as i mentioned before.
Is there a good Rom, thats not based on cyanogenmod? I thought i would wait for good 5.0 Roms before flashing my phone again, but this really annoyes me.

I rarely have this problem on stock 4.4.4 rom. So it's not strictly an CM bug. I think it has something to do with the drivers or something regarding the touch software implementation.

Hi,
sometimes the touchscreen of my defy stops working (but the phone is not frozen)
and the only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the screen...
does anyone have the same problem (and can help me)?
thanks
P.S
i've had the problem both with stock rom (2.2) and with cyanogenmod rc 1.5
When this happens, do the 4 buttons below your display still give you haptic feedback (little vibration) or do they react not at all?
Also, does this only happen when there's the normal launcher/standby screen active or when there's an other app active too ?
Did you undervolt ?
Edit: Also, this seems to be a hardware problem which seems to be well known in a certain German android forum but I cannot find much about it in here. In short, the digitizer unit seems to be broken for some people and locking/unlocking helps because it disconnects and connects power for the digitizer. The people there fixed the problem by replacing the digitizer (which isn't easy at all!).
It would be nice to have someone from XDA who had this problem before too, to confirm this problem!
First of all, thank you for the answer
When I have the problem, 4 buttons stop working too.
It usually happens after a period of stand-by, i don't undervolt or have some other application running than the launcher (ADWlauncher).
I bought the phone one week ago, if it is an HW problem, i can't repair it by myself...
I'd recommend to wait and see whether xda has other suggestions for you and if not, just check the Motorola hotline and ask whether they know something and if they do change it for free.
Also, what you describe fits perfectly to what I've read elsewhere (don't know whether I'm allowed to post a link here or if it were useful at all because it is in German). So it sounds like your digitizer could really be defect.
ok, even if i hope to solve the problem by myself...
News: They've changed the touch screen, but the problem is still present...
Can it be a sw problem??
Keep sending it back, they will replace it in the end.

This is not a ROM-specific issue - it has been an irritating thing for me over the past year. It has happened on CM7/9/10, MIUI, any custom rom actually. Rather irritating when you wanna switch from gaming to texting etc (which is what I often do).
Just wondering if anyone found a fix. Thanks!

I have this issue as well. Whenever I open or close my play, it reboots. If I apply pressure as I slide out the gamepad, it works normally. Most likely a loose hinge or something.

Its not a software issue its a hardware issue for sure because my xperia play reboots when I close the slide on any rom. I'm not very tech savvy nor am I afraid of opening my xperia play I just don't know how the slide on the xperia play ticks. It can be number of things it can be slide, flex, the screen I have no clue. If someoone has a hardware fix on this please share.
Had this problem on stock rom but after flashing cola it's yet to happen.
Maybe I got lucky, IDK, it might be worth a try if it's bothering you too much.
There is a contact problem with your battery and the phone

This is not from your Rom. It is from your battery. Remove the battery use a paper to make it more firm as you put the battery inside the phone. I had the same problem but now I can slide my xperia PLAY open as hard and fast as u want without it rebooting.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED

That doesn't work for me. I had to open my xperia play and replace the flex cable and now no reboots. The flex cable on my xperia play has alot of wear and tear in it.
I gave my R800at to my brother and today it begin to reboot when sliding in or out, it was a little lose, but not much.
I opened it, the flex cable seemed to be secure so I don't know specifically what caused it to reboot. But I tried to secure all the connections and tighten all the screws in the phone and it fixed the problem. No doubt I feel the problem will reoccur again in the future. I does seem sliding out the gamepad slowly and with some pressure down help.
To open the phone you need to use a Torque screw driver with the size "T5", you can get it at Lowe or Home Depot.
Hello everyone. I've been experiencing a problem lately that has me scratching my head. The phone for no reason and at random times because super sluggish like the frame rate or something is super low.. It seems to be most apparent in the launcher.. It happens at random even if the phone is cool or hot. Happens on touchwiz launcher as well as nova launcher.. Clearing ram and open apps doesn't work... The only thing that makes the phone go back to normal is a reboot. This also happens on any custom ROM. With stock or custom kernel.. So.is this a CPU hardware problem? Has anyone else had this happen? It's already been happening quite often and its becoming annoying. Factory resets don't solve it either as it comes back randomly. If anyone can shed some light please do.

I would contact T-Mobile it could be a phone problem if you are seing it after an Odin back to stock. That would be my only suggestion is an Odin back but since you already did that I would see about getting the phone switched out

How could I prove to them that this is worthy of a warranty replacement? I can't seem to reproduce the problem.. It just happens..I thought Odin would solve the problem too but then it just randomly happened

Explain to tmobile what's happening and let them know you want a new device. they are very easy to work with and tmobile won't make you prove anything. Ive been with tmobile for ten years now. Trust me they are easy to work with if you explain the situation and let them know it clearly interferes with your ability to use the device as it should be used. You should have ZERO problems with returning the device. By the way sounds like your device DOES have serious problems so id call tmobile as soon as possible. They MIGHT try trouble shooting it FIRST as this is procedure they HAVE to follow simply let them know after trouble shooting that your issue IS STILL PRESENT and they will exchange your device for a new one without issue...so call them asap. You won't have any trouble. You will see. They are very EASY to work with so NO WORRIES. Call and get your device exchanged NOW. Hope this helps you out. I've had a LOT of expirence working with tmobile. It won't be a problem. Youll see. Best wishes to you and hope you get this matter resolved today.

I'll have to agree here. I've had many issues over the years (anyone remember the LG G2X?), and they will stand by you. Sometimes you have to squawk loudly, but they want you to be happy...
Unlike Sprint.....I hate Sprint
Edit: If you're not happy with their response, just escalate it to Customer retention...they have the real power.
I had bad lag when I was trying to text, send an email, or anything involving using the keyboard. I flashed a ROM thinking that would take care of the issue . It didnt, still had hang ups and lag. I flashed back to stock and received a new phone and havent had an issue yet.
Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks
If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.
Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.
Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps

Hi everyone,
TL;DR: I have an issue with the touchscreen of my Find 7 qhd (x9076), while on any other ROM than stock it my touchscreen glitches or something.
After installing a custom Rom, like PA, Dirty unicorns, CM, Nameless or any other available for this device (I believe I've tried all of them). The device works just like it should, nothing wrong with the touchscreen. But after like half a day, it starts to 'glitch'. Sensitivity is very low, when I press here it detects a press somewhere else.
I've got a temporary solution which is wiping the cache in recovery, then it works for a short period of time, but then it starts gliching again..
On stock rom the issue doesn't exists, but I realy do want to use a custom one.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Or maybe someone who has a solution?
Thanks in advance!
P.s every install is a full wipe, tried multiple recoveries, non-unified
I've read that the touchscreen fixes implemented by Oppo only work on ColorOS even though ROM makers have already implemented the fixes into the Roms. I'm not sure why, though

Hmm that's unfortunate, but it seems to me that I am one of a few people having trouble with this? Why don't other x9076 users have this problem?

Try to flash back stock recovery then flash COS 1.20 in systembase, then upgrade to COS 1.25, Then upgrade to 2.0 or above. Then flash custom recovery and rom again. This is the step you will not have problem in custom Rom. I am 100% sure.

I have the same problem, and I'm running Stock OS.
v2.1.4i Beta
This is how I bought the phone, interesting that it reads Beta...
I've updated to the latest firmware and still having touch screen sensitivity issues.
Someone has got too have some advise.... Oppoooooo.....
TouchScreen Auto Test - FAIL
I did the TouchScreen Auto Test and showed FAIL. Has anyone else shown this error?
Hi, I am having exactly same touch screen problem with custom roms, have tried both Omni and crDroid.
Is there a solution for this? I didn't have this problem in COS before.
What's the auto test?
I‘m on COS 2.1.5I and sensitivity works ok so far. I did have auto brightness problems but xposed and gravitybox has helped me adjust a lot of that out. Now it doesn‘t over dim in low light.
Auto test in COS is ok, I only had this problem in custom Roms, COS worked smoothly,so I reckon it's could be driver issue in custom Rom, maybe there are new fix for some panels are not included in custom Rom.
I never had any problems with touchscreen on find 7 until now. I have been extremely satisfied with this device until now. I have the find 7 9076.
There is a lengthy discussion of this touchscreen problem on the oppo forums.
My opinion is, it has nothing to do with the rom or firmware. It is a physical problem caused by heat. Once overheated, the digitizer gets somehow damaged.
I left my phone on a table in direct sunlight for hours while working on my lawnmower. I noticed it got very hot to touch. Ever since then my touchscreen has problems where there were no problems for 2 years prior. Dead spots, phantom touches and behaves sluggish in certain spots. Upper screen in portrait.
I tried wiping and reinstalling. Nothing works to fix this.
I even tried sealing it in a ziplock bag and freezing it. This actually works but its only temporary. The digitizer got damaged from heat. There is no "software" fix.
The only solution I can see is to physically replace the digitizer. This is a difficult thing to do but can be done.
I am considering replacing replacing the entire screen along with the digitizer as this is much easier but the problem is getting the high res replacement. Most after market screens are not equal to oppo's. The cost of OEM is too high.
Shame because this problem makes me now shy away from oppo devices.
Okay,
I opened up the phone.
Set to try and pry off/seperate the digitizer and replace with new one.
Decided to try something first.
Unplugged the digitizer and held power button (to release any stored up energy in the phone). Resnapped in digitizer cable to connector.
Reassembled the phone.
Put battery back in. Rebooted.
Sure enough, its all working. The full touchscreen is working with no dead spots or glitches.
For how long? Who knows?
Keeping this thing out of the heat.
