my phone touch is not as responsive as it should be like my old samsung s3.Anyone would like to tell me how I can increase my phone's touch sensitivity?
Any help would be highly appreciated///
You mean like it's not as responsive? Such as when you have to swipe two three times to accomplish something thwart normally takes one swipe? Go into your developer's option and turn on the option where you can see the colors that responding to your touches. See if everyone you touch the screen that a trail if color follows the movement of your fingers in the screen. I'm trying to figure out if your issue is software or hardware. If it's software, you may need to reinstall the ROM you're using. Else if it's hardware, you may need to replace the digitizer. As for now, you can try clean the screen, and get an iPad compatible stylus, which is more sensitive to the touch than the human fingers, since our fingers are dirty, and they leave dirt and greasy residue on the screen. BTW, how and when did you started to notice that your phone screen was less sensitive?

What do i have to do in developers option Please elaborate if you can?
I recently got this phone so comparing to my s3 I think the touch is a bit laggy.Its not all time but for a mere second like when I play games like subway and temple run at some point the touch lags.Also when my phone is in pocket and I receive a call or text sometimes screen stops responding.
I am currently on G3 optimus g8 rom.One more thing I recently flashed bliss rom 5.0.x.In that rom the touch stops working till I press the power key to lock my phone and then unlock it and it starts working again.
I don't know if this is a rom thing or digitizer?
Any help from you would be nice.

You know, in the developer's options, under input section, there is an option for showing the touches, such as ever time you touch the screen the color will show under your finger, which tells you if every touch you do on the digitizer screen has registered or not. If you get a color response every time you touch, but the command seems to lag, then you may have to flash different ROM. But if color doesn't come up every time you touch the screen, then there may be something wrong with the digitizer. If you purchase a second hand phone from an unknown owner, the digitizer screen may haven been replaced before without you knowing it. Try different ROM first, such as blisspop 3.2 or vanir's newest nightly, which are lp 5.1.1.

Now everytime I touch screen a pink mark shows with the whole led flickers shortly every time I touch that happens.I think the digitizer is quite okay because every time I touch the dot shows with pink flickering.What is your opinion on this?
And yes you are right this is a used phone.
It sounds like your hardware is okay. If the lagging responses are only occurring sporadically, then you may want to think flashing a different ROM the solution. Also, if the digitizer is working, sometimes when the screen is dirty, or if your fingers are wet, that will all cause the touch response to lag. Try using a stylus, and see if that helps. IMO, using a stylus on this phone makes the touch more precise and responsive. Besides the touches being unresponsive, do you notice anything else is lagging, such as when opening up an app?

Thanks again for your time.
I dont see any lags in apps etc.I will try some other rom and see what happens then.
One more thing with this phone is that its camera pics are blurry at the top and bottom and sharp at the centre.it gives a miniature like effect to pics.the focusing is not accurate.It seems that its lens cover has been replaced.Do you think its a hardware fault or maybe dust particles on the inside lens.
Any idea what might be the cause?
Try different camera app, if issue persists, try clean the lens, this phone is easy to take apart.

It happens to me quite a bit when i open up the keyboard..sometimes i'll get just a "t", lots of times "ty." I don't think it's a coincidence that they happen to be the 2 top most centered keys, but I don't think the casing is rubbing and pressing the buttons. Is anyone else experiencing this? It is pretty annoying cause you always have to delete them before you type anything
i get them as well since i last updated (CRC r11.0)
same rom as me...
hmmm....better check in that thread
Mine does it as well using TNT's Rom. I don't think it's rom related, as every ROM I've used has done this.
It may not look like it, but I'm betting your casing it rubbing. I know mine is by using dry erase marker and seeing the transfer on the T and Y keys.
Good luck
lol.. i get them also.. but it only happens sometimes...
im using FARIA-R32-XDA2 rom
Yea, sitting here playing with mine, you're right, only sometimes. Seems it depends how I open the slide, how it torques, etc.
TY
No... It never hppened to me, actually... No matter what ROM I use...
I wish I could help.
Iim sorry...
Cheers.
Your phone is thanking you for installing a new rom! TY!

Hello Together,
I think it is a hardware problem. When push with your thumbs on the bottom of the screen while you slide out the keyboard (this is my normal methode to slide it out) you push the characters T and Y because they are in the middle of the upper row.
I wonder if it is possible to lock the buttons (in software) till the slider is out completely (when the screen rotates). Does anyone know a register or software solution?
Greetings Pudl
yes its a hardware problem...your keyboard cable is a bit loose probably...
you have to take your phone apart to fix that
its the bottom left ribbon cable with a flat silver plate that u need to unplug when u seperate the motherboard
and the screen rotation is activated by some magnetic thingy if i remember correctly
hehe,i also think it's the hardware problem
Hi,
Every second or third time I tap my screen wherever it opens the start menu instead of touching the area I want.
Is this a config problem, a WM61 build problem, or maybe a problem linked to my HardSPL, or is it a harware problem?
I had this problem with different ROMS, and different screens.
Thanks for your help !!
Search for TopBar 0.10 it's a fix for big finger on today screen that made pop up the start menu, you can edit it in registry. Go there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370478

I have the same problem on my HTC P3600.
It seems it's because you have dust under the edges of the mobile screen.
Anybody can confirm it ?

This bug will popup your starmenu when:
you are using "huge" thumb while tapping the display (xt9 sms writing for example)

I report the same here. Also HTC3600. I just doubt its problem with dust. I guess its the touchscreen or some sort of WM setts.
It happens when I hit larger area. Eg with whole finger. Not just nail, which is OK.
It cant happen with multitouch if Im right.
Soo.. if there is some solution, help someone Its annoying "feature".
edit: Well, now I see sphinxy's answer. Thx, man

I believe your screen got problem... (hardware) or too much dust...
this is a well-known problem and TopBar is the solution...I'm current using it

Yes, I can confirm that topbar works. Here it is http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Tweaks/TopBar-P3600-Screen-Bug-Fix-60642.shtml
everyone, installed Topbar but still have the same problem.
So it must be a hardware problem, and since it happened with several screens, it must be on the motherboard, not the screen itself?
Or maybe it's because of my hardspl (very early version before WM61 came out)?
thanks for your help

I had a similar issue. After reading around I followed someone's advice. I don't know if this will help you but it worked for me:
1. Remove any screen protector you may have on.
2. Place a credit card under the edges of the screen frame and press it upwards slightly. Work your way around all the edges of the screen frame, lifting it up gently to release pressure.
3. Not only can a lot of dust build up under the frame, it can also sometimes bend down so that it actually makes contact with the screen when you press an area elsewhere on the screen.
After 10 minutes or so of bending, the screen suddenly started working again, but it was all out of sync. So, I reset the screen configuration with taps (like you do after a flash). Once I did that it was perfect again and has never troubled me since.
This may not be the problem in your case, but may be worth a try.
Mattster.
Silence....
I'm wondering if you sorted it, in case anyone else has the same issue...?
Mattster.
It seems that the Topbar made it's work for me...We'll see....!
Great. Very pleased for you!

topbar works for me
All,
topbar did not work for me, and I ended up buying a new screen on ebay;
installed new screen, and, problem gone!
Not all screens on ebay are good quality, careful!

Hello guys,
first of all, yes, I read all the similar threads, but I don't think that they are like my case...
so .. I'm using my TP2 over a year and a half and it was brand new
the phone is hard-spl-ed and I changed my Roms hundreds of times
my Freezing issue starts about month- month and a half
and it appear when the phone goes in stand-by then i cant drag the unlock button .. to solve it, I have to touch and moving my finger many of times over the whole screen , and at some time it start to work.. it is like my touch screen stops responding.
I'm using mostly Energy roms, but also I'm using the XAndroid versions
and this issue was also when i'm using Android, but the intresting is, when it happens when the phone is not at stand-by the screen moving but right after remove my finger it returns to previous position and this is all the time again until i start to touch and drag over the whole screen
I already known that the issue is not from the Xandroid, because I removed everything , and re-installed clean Energy Rom , and it happens again
It is not and from the Storage card (micro 4GB class 6) because it also happens when i removed the card ...
So can somebody advice me something , what could be the problem, what I can try to do or check...
thank you very much for the assistance
Regards

do you have a screen protector? it will need to be removed if so. you might need to increase you screen sensitivity as well
yes I have screen protector
how can i increase my screen sensitivity.. do I need to start using my device w/o screen protector ?
i still can not understant how this start to happening, before I never had any problems in past...

because what happens with screen protectors is that sometimes the screen itself reads pressure from the screen protector as if your pressing down. and since tp2 isnt multitouch, it thinks your pressing the screen before you actually press it. it happens a lot, sometimes it happens to me. but my screen protector is removable so i just pop it off real quick to release the pressure it creates and boom, much much faster and smoother.
i think i read somewhere you can make your tp2 multitouch, that might help. but ive yet to try it so i cant say.
you can search the forums to find the best way to increase sensitivity, there are many diff ways. heres one. it says hd2 but i think it works for us too

again, this may not be your issue, its just a possibility because the situation sounded similar to mine

I was never thought that the screen protector could be the problem, so thank again
ok. but dont forget to remove the screen protector. if you leave it on, increasing the screen sensitivity will only make the problem worse.
my wife has the att nitro hd, when the screen goes off during a call sometimes nothing including power button will turn it back on. Anyone know of a fix? did the ATT small update fix this?
Actually it comes back on after a long minute or two. Not very helpful if you need the dialpad or keys, etc.
I have just rooted it for her and installed CWM.
I have added a few proximity tweaks to build.prop
gsm.proximity.enable=false (rebooted twice but screen still goes off)
also used the ro.lg.proximity and the mot.lge.proximity (dont recall exact wording) both were set to a value of 5.
I'll have to take alook into the lg hidden dialer menu to see if I can disable this.
I dont like this sensor on my device either, but I have an option in settings to disable it, which makes it bearable.
thanks for the help guys.
I have noticied LG throws together some junky builds, typos, bad english/grammar. Wonky sensors etc. Incorrect kernel build ReadMe's
I thought I recall someone with another device just placing a peice of tape over the sensor. hmmm..worth a try.
cheers.

What about the tweaks that aren't BS? Are they already included in your CM9 builds?
From what I can tell, pretty much the main thing that build.prop is good for is providing information about the system and software (i.e. info about the build). It's not really used much for useful configurations as far as I know.
networks tweaks actually have doubled me download speed.
I still have faith.
but can anyone answer my questions I posted in ICS SLim thread and PM'ed Andasa , no responses yet.
does ICS slim or CM9 have option to keep lcd no during call? and does it work??
what's working not working? I found changelogs but not a working/not working list for CM9.
and has anyone successfully restored a nandroid from ICS to GB without real issues?
thanks guys.
i doubt the ota fixed your issue as the issue is not one that occurs for every nitro.
I can tell you that when I make a phone call they screen stays no.
what's working not working, well, many of us are running it daily with no probs.
as you prolly know, it is a nightly build so a public list of what's working or not isn't rly part of the deal.
i've succesfully restore a nandroid from both slim and cm9 back to the stock att rom and others many many times. dozens.
thanks good enough.
I will have to give it a go.
would you recommend one or the other?
CM9 or slim?
thank you.
well, I like them both a lot. slim is just a trimmed down version of cm9 and i _think_ it does run just a bit snappier........maybe..but it's not wildly different from cm9. I usually switch back&forth throughout the day.
There's no setting in CM9 to disable the proximity sensor, although there may be a way to do it.
We just got a Nitro HD for my wife and her phone also has this issue. I have not gotten to know the phone well enough to try rooting or anything else of that nature, it's pure stock.
When she makes a call the screen turns off immediately after hitting the call button and will not wake up. When she receives a call we get a glimpse of the in-call screen with the various buttons etc but then the screen turns off. If the other party hangs up her screen turns back on, but if she calls something automated, like voicemail, she can't do anything except pull the battery to disconnect.
I've tried putting my thumb over the proximity sensor, hitting all buttons including power, and nothing makes the screen wake up or turns the phone off other than a battery pull.
The phone was running a build from last November when we first got it (V10i?) and today prompted us to update, so I did that hoping it would solve the problem. The phone is currently on V10j, but the problem persists.
Any help?

If you bought it from a store, get it exchanged for a new one.
actually works much faster on cm9, but therr still should be an optin to keep lcd on during call. i found some free apps that will disable hardware drivers but cant find the name of the proximity sensor driver, only that is named LGE.
Unfortunately it was given to us by a friend after my wife lost her Captivate, so taking it to a store to exchange is probably not going to work too well. As far as I can tell it was never used before we got it--the battery was still in it's own sealed pouch, the texting and driving warning was on the phone, and the phone went through the whole initial setup routine--but they didn't send us the box, I guess to cut down on mailing costs. I was hoping there was a known solution.
Ok, I downloaded two proximity sensor test apps today, but neither showed any activity. On my Captivate I get different readings with Proximity Sensor Finder (market link), but on the Nitro it is stuck at 3cm and it doesn't register anything no matter where I put my hand over the phone.
Can someone whose phone works right try installing this app and make sure that it picks up different readings on this device? OP, if you are still having issues, can you also try this app and see if it is static for you?
Thanks.
Took off the screen protector that they installed at the AT&T store and now the proximity sensor works just fine. OP, do you have a screen protector on your device?
we had an awfully thick one from att. we have since changed it to a super thin one. screen off is not a real problem on cm9, however i feel all devices should have the option to disable proximity sensor/keep lcd on during calls.
It's worth trying to use the warranty on the phone. Even though you dont have the original sales reciept, the phone has been released for less than a year, so no matter when you bought it, it is still within it's year long guaranteed warranty window.
Finished reading the thread, I suppose this post is now irrelevent
I have recently received my G3 32GB (855), however, I noticed the screen is not responding to all touch screen inputs. Id say it responds 8-9 out of 10.
For the record, I'm running all stock, no root, only ART enabled.
I even went to the hidden menu to check double check if there are any faults, but it was correctly recording every time I touch the screen.
It feels like the UI is not responding sometimes...
Any suggestions?
I've noticed that today on mine as well for the first time. Double tap to unlock has been very hit or miss, even with a reboot. I'm totally stock and didn't switch to ART yet. Not too happy about this and will keep monitoring.

If your not looking closely, its easy to assume that it was due to lack of proper contact.
But when I started noticing this issue, I started paying attention to each screen touch and then I felt that I had some misses...

It was to the point that it didn't work on first double tap, didn't work on second double tap, and I slowly and methodically did it a 3rd time with no luck. Had to use the power button on the back. After a restart its only done it once since....kind of weird.
I'm not facing any knock on problems usually, it actually responds more than my G2 I have to admit.
My main problem is swiping thru the launcher.
Even inside apps I can't recall any prob, it makes me feel like it could be related to launcher lag...
I just installed Nova and I'm no longer facing any issues with the launcher not responding to certain swipes. I guess there are more optimizations required for the LG launcher ui
I am having the same issue. I did install one of BodyGuardz tempered glass screen protector. I have art and I am rooted with towelroot.

Not the solution you are looking for but, I have to say, this was the case also on my G2 and G PRO 2. It's an LG thing. Not to bad by any means but noticeable and something that should be sorted.

Maybe you're right about that, I still have my G2, but its running cloudystock 2.0 and Dorimanx Kernel v5.8, so it feels like a different beast.
