The process "to unpin this screen, touch and hold Overview" however this does not work. I've tried holding all buttons in different combinations but other than a restart the device will unlock the screen. To have this working it would be great does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working and how to fix it? thanks
Try this...
Hi Joffjofferson,
I know your post is a few months old. I came across it when I was looking for an answer to the same problem you addressed in it.
I don't have an Elephone P8000. I have an Asus Zenfone 2. However, I found a solution to the same issue on my phone. So, I thought I'd post it for you in case it might work for you.
According to Google's support page for the Nexus (https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6118421?hl=en), to unpin the screen, "When you're on the pinned screen, touch and hold Back and Overview at the same time." I did the equivalent on my phone and this worked for me.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Halebopper

Hello and good day all,
I just buy my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) for 3 days now.
Straight to the point, I'm having this weird problem where I didn't experience it on my previous Samsung Galaxy Note.
The problem is, my screen freeze whenever I open the phone. (Pressing Home button and then you should either put password or swipe)
The screen doesn't respond to my touch.
I have to Lock it again (Power Button), and Unlock it (Home Button) and then it works like usual.
Another thing is, when I'm on the freeze state, my S-Pen can be use but touch of the screen with fingertips doesn't work at all.
And the Freeze Screen only occur when I let the phone for a moment (Going Locked, Black Screen, more than 5 sec)
By the way, the screen also Freeze whenever there's a call. I cant Swipe the button to answer the call.
Already try this few step but the problem still occur.
1. Restart Phone.
2. Factory Reset.
3. Turning Off Wifi Mode Saver (*#0011#)
4. Turning Off S-Voice.
5. Changing Lock Screen Option (Swipe, Pattern)
6. Removing some of App (Facebook, Instagram)
I think the problem occur since I'm upgrading the Firmware to the latest one via Kies.
Is there anyway to fix this problem?
Seeking for your advice sir.
Anyone?
I also try to clear cache partition at recovery mode.
Still no luck.
Ugh, this is really getting frustrating.
Last night I alrdy reflash my old stock rom with Odin v3.04.
Still, the problem occur.
Read someone post, mentioning that screen protector is disturbing the sensor, yet alrdy remove the screen protector but the problem still persist.
And doing some test, SensorHub Test (#*0*#) and fail.
Alrdy include as a attachment.
Can someone just tell me this is factory faulty so I can claim the warranty......
What's the problem.....
Did you find a fix for this? I'm getting a very similar issue, though with mine when it's locked it won't respond to anything and have to do a battery pull
Nooe. Didn't find any. Already try all solution that I cant find. I think it's a hardware faulty.
Just now I go to the retailer and a good news is I get a 1 to 1 exchange with a new device since the retailer itself didn't found a solution for it.
And my suggestion is bring your device to the retailer where you buy it. Hope they can figure something out.

if you havnt rooted your devices and since it is only 3 months past, your phone would be in warranty period so according to me the best you should do is go to the authorized service center and just ask for a replacement
i wasnt able to sign in from my ze550ml after update so i gave my phone to the service center and replaced it with a new one a few days ago
may be this would help you out give it a try :good:
I have done that. Asus send my the RMA to Shipp it, let's see what happens after that. And no it wasn't rooted. Thanks
One thing that may cause touch screen to behave erratically is TalkBack being enabled. With TalkBack enabled the touch screen may behave differently and appear to be defective. Instead one tap it may require double tap to open an item or when swiping it may require using two fingers instead of one. Go to Apps/Settings/Accessibility/TalkBack/Off (do not turn on if already off). For more information regarding TalkBack please see http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1012384/

Hey there guys , I've been searching through the forum topics about my issue but so far I've found nothing close to my scenario.
A few months ago I bought my first HTC phone (M8). Its a great device for sure , despite the fact that I had to return it back twice.
First time it was a faulty microphone , so they sent me back a brand new device. Great isn't it ?
However recently I've noticed a few .... let me call them 'glitches' .
Let me give you some details on what I've experienced with the device:
Despite the issues that i'm going through ... the phone works great, but...
Sometimes the screen wont turn on when I'm receiving incoming calls (same goes for the alarm clock) but the phone is able to recognize touches - i've managed to pick up the call when I swiped the screen in the area where the "green" answer button appears .
The above issue doesnt happen so often but the thing that bothers me is the unlocking issue.
At first I thought that it was stuck or faulty power button.
When the phone is idle for some time and I pick it up and press the unlock button ... nothing seems to happen I've tried pressing it hard ... i've tried pressing it gently ... i've tried pressing it multiple times until the screen wakes up .
Same goes for motion launch unlocking .
When I use motion launch to unlock it the phone only gives me a vibration feedback ... and thats it until I try harder to bring the screen back to ''life'' .
(I can also press my security pattern buttons while the screen is dead and feel the phone vibrating , BUT NOT ALWAYS , sometimes is just .. dead )
I already sent the phone back describing the same problems and they just flashed the firmware , which did not fix any of the issues.
Stock Rom android 5.0.1 , not rooted
Soo what do you guys think? What can I do next .. is it android bug or a faulty unit ?
is it possible to be a sensor problem (proximity , accelerometer)
Already tried factory reset and dalvik cache wipe.
Any advice would be useful.
Thanks for taking your time .

I have the same issue. There are times it takes me hitting the power button 20 times for it to finally light up but I can press buttons with it black. The weird thing is it does it on every single ROM but I havent noticed it on Stock...maybe I'm not using stock enough to see. I'll probably throw stock on there today and take it into sprint and let them replace it.
I have the same problem whether it's on stock or custom ROM (KK or L). I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Unfortunately, my m8 is out of warranty so HTC won't fix it for free. I read it some where that it could be a faulty proximity switch so shining a light beam to the top part of the phone may wake up the screen. I haven't tried it yet because every time it happens, I don't have a flash light handy. It is an annoying problem to say the least.
When this happens, I pushed the power button, the volume up button, and swiping the screens. Eventually the screen would wake up and every thing works fine... until the next time.
Its a ****ing pain in the ass.
however none of the sensor reading apps report a faulty/stuck sensor.
the wors thing... I've already sent my phone for repair, describing the problems in details. .. and it took them a whole f*cking month to bring it back to me with no results.
I don't think they will replace it because its a problem that takes time to be experienced...and no one is going to wait for it to happen. ...
Any other ideas?
Should I wait for android 6.0 or should I try a custom rom too see if these problems presist.
Fml I love the phone but this is frustrating.
I have the same problem I think. I just bought an M8 on Ebay. I am S-off, unlocked and rooted, using the Viper Rom currently. I have also tried AICP, the stock Tmobile Rom and a few others. Same issue.
If I double tap, I feel the screen vibrate, but nothing comes on. Then, I keep pushing power button a few times. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes I am too impatient to wait, so I just hold power and volume up.
I also know that the phone internals come on, because after that vibration, I swipe up and push the screen a few times. Then, when I am fiddling with the power button and it does come on, I do see that there is an app already on the screen.
I think this is a rare issue, as I haven't even been able to find many posts regarding this. I may have to get a new one if this keeps going on so bad.

I am experiencing the exact same issue with my M8. I have seen a lot of people stating it may be a hardware fault related to heat and internals but something about how it reacts seems software related.
I really hope someone who has fixed or uncovered the reason comes forward. At this rate I may be switching back to a S4 LTE-A.

I think it IS hardware related. I was able to return that one and got another M8. No problems at all.
So hello community !
I have an OPPO Find 7 device, and I love, but happens that I have some problem with it, let me explain it best I can
It turns out that I simply cant Power ON the device, no matter what I try, no matter what combinations of key I am using or so. Let me explain better.
As I was using one day my phone standard it happened the lock/power key doesn't respond every time I press it, and it was so, sometimes the phone reacted to the button some times didn't. One day I had the device, and forgot to charge it, and it went completely off, so I can't even boot it up. Went to an mobile center, where they repair mobiles or so, it is small place, I explained them what is the problem, they told me it is the button power supply or so, and fixed it. That was nice, finally I had my OPPO again. After 2 or 3 weeks, again the same problem with the button didn't responded and I again took it with me and gave it to the person that fixed it the first time. They said the it is kinda complicated or so, I took it to other place to see if they could fixed it, they told me it is the POWER SUPPLY to the POWER/LOCK key. It is a waste this phone to throw it in garbage because one maybe small problem if you ask me .
Hopefully someone will see this and reply to me, I still have the phone just cant power it on.
P.S The battery is fine, the charger is fine, tried every combinations of key (just the power key doesn't seem to reply in any way or it cant get power supply). I have some minor knowledge in phone's I can tear it down but I need help or maybe solutions from you guys. Thanks again !
Still no-one that can help me maybe somehow

Hi, do you still have this issue?
Did you just upgrade your phone before this happen?
Yes I still have this issue, I didn't upgrade my phone before this issue. I don't think it is an software error tho....
Got my phone still sitting in my shale
I was facing similar problem, but in my case I cannot charge the phone, and it turn out to be software problem during upgrade.
I went to oppo service center and they re-flash with the latest ColorOS then my phone back to normal.
I thought if you just upgrade your phone, you might face same issue like what I was. Or maybe you can try to go to oppo service center?
Try this. http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067
If its software related this will fix it. If it doesnt I dont know anymore.

Sorry, didn't realized you replied my comment already. Since you purchased your device from Oppostyle, i would suggest you to do RMA. However, the process is going to take quite a long time.
Hello all,
after leaving the tablet for 1y I gave it another try and am seeking on one hand some general advice how to proceed, or possibly specific if somebody had that bizarre behavior or something similar.
The problem is mostly described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/my-sm-t800-will-not-boot-normally.4016731/post-82060775
Now I fiddled with it a bit more and the status is:
- switching it on causes it to crash at arbitrary stages: directly after the samsung logo, while showing the lineage os logo, right when ready for using, any time later, sometimes it is even possible to use it for hours
- it works almost reliably when I keep the power button pressed
- entering download mode is possible without problems
- entering recovery mode works only sometimes, in most cases only with power button pressed continuously
- when it works "normally" I can enable dev options, connect adb and do whatever I want (as it seems)
Now since the device is fairly old, I want to avoid major investments, however I still have some hope that there is a way to fix it. However, I'm a bit ouf of ideas ...
Any suggestions how to proceed are very appreciated!
I know this reply is one month late, but I think I know the reason and fix. The exact behavior happened to my T800 but I was able to fix it after viewing this video:
It is the power connector to the motherboard, which is apparently not soldered. Once I have soldered the pins to the motherboard. All is good.
