Unresponsive lock screen

I have 2.3.4 and sense 2.1. Everything works fine except the lock screen is very unresponsive. I literally have to punch the screen with my finger a few times before it wakes up. I was wondering if the newer versions of sense fix the lock screen?

I have the same problem from time to time. Restarting my phone normally sorts it out.

I wish that was my answer but Its not. At least not for me.

Others have found this post useful and it seems it is similar to your issue. ;-)

I've tried that several times. Infact it helped me calibrate my touch screen after I broke the original. I've honestly had the same issue even with the original screen.

If you aren't adamant about Sense, you could try flashing a Sense-less ROM. In my experience, it improves much on performance.

When i bought my WildfireS i had the same problem , stock came with 2.3.3 . But when i updated to the official 2.3.5 problem solved. U Can try different rom also .

sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys.
I've got a VM Wildfire S thats CDMA and well.....None of the other roms seem to work. I;ve tried Wildchild but its not picking up my service. Simonsense3.5 seems to be okay but things like music crash every now and again. I do still have the unresponsive screen issue but its not as bad with simonsense. I do seem to have a deadzone on my screen for the I key. Specificly the I key. if I switch into that horrible swipe the screen does not track any inputs exactly on or bordering that specific letter. Anyway I can fix that?
Also what else should I be doing now that i've been able to get this phone in a better rom?

Set the minimum overclock limit in No frills to something lieke 245 Mhz or above until it solves.
It worked for me when I used sense roms.
Hope it helped..

Try editing your build.prop
With the touch responsive tweak.

And which tweak are we talking about here? My lockscreen gets quite unresponsive as well. Tried reverting to the slide lockscreen off earlier versions but didn't help either. Tried the solution mentioned on the other thread (Post#4) and neither did that. I have a hunch it has something to do with the sensor, atleast on mine. I've noticed it acts crazy especially under low-light areas, or say if it had been in my pocket for ages. Ah well, hoping to find a solution soon.

Did you try turning off Settings -> Sound -> Quiet ring on pickup & Pocket mode & Flip for speaker?
As cpie20 also stated you can try doing the following to your build.prop to help speed things up.
CHANGE:
Code:
view.touch_slop = 2
ADD:
Code:
# Force Launcher into Memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1
# Enable Graphic Processor Unit
debug.sf.hw = 1
# Improve Overall Touch Responsiveness
debug.performance.tuning = 1
video.accelerate.hw = 1
# Improve Scrolling Responsiveness
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec = 150

Thanks for that. I did switch off the Sound settings as you mentioned earlier. Apart from that, I noticed that most of the tweaks were already present on the build.prop I'm currently running on. Just changed the following:
Code:
view.touch_slop = 2 [COLOR="Red"](Was 15)[/COLOR]
# Force Launcher into Memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1 [COLOR="red"](Wasn't there)[/COLOR]
# Improve Scrolling Responsiveness
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec = 150 [COLOR="red"](Was set on 120)[/COLOR]
So yeah, will see how that helps and report back later.
EDIT: Seems to work great upto now. The build.prop tweaks seem to have finally fixed it. Will report back if I head into any issues but seem quite unlikely.

Sorry but I didn't know where to add the other code
so I have to add them at the end ... or after the code:
view.touch_slop = 2
& with thanks and respect

SGS Touchscreen Booster?

Bingo.

This was suggested before in the sensitivity bug thread. Tried it myself, doesn't do diddly squat, my pressure measurements in the development settings still read in the .40s.

isn't it only for Samsung Galax S up to Android 2.3.x.?

I tried it, set the sensitivity to 0.28 and the time to register a tap to 1 , and the UI really was quicker, overall it was alot snappier, it's not just a placebo... although , i the press values remained the same according to pointer location from developer's settings...
I lowered the sensitivity to 0.26 and managed to get a 0.27 press value, never succeeded before to go under 0.28. Anyways , with lower values than 0.28 and with quick swiping the ui starts to stutter.. not to mention even though the UI felt snapier on 0.28 + register tap 1 , but the sensitivity drop was bigger, and it needs now even harder press..so i ended up uninstalling the app...
I really hate the "recent apps" bug, the sensitivity drops, it's driving me crazy

For press values I wasn't able to get under 28 before or after applying the "Fix". Will keep using it over the day to see if I notice any difference.

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.

There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?

Recommended Apps and Tips after Root!

Use System App remover (root) tool to remove bloatware off Tmobile phones! Make sure you backup your files and data using titanium backup or your favorite backup app! Lets help the new guys have a better chance at not bricking their phones. And support these developers by buying the full versions of their apps! Remember to be careful! Especially when deleting programs off your phone!

Tips:
Some ways to reduce lag:
Turn ART on. You need to turn on the developer option feature. ART will load apps faster and save battery life. The version on KitKat is in beta, but I havent had any issues.
To turn on developer option:
1. On your Android phone head over to Settings->About Phone.
2. Now scroll down to Software Information and tap.
3. Next, scroll down and tap the Build Number for about 7 times, and a popup message will tell you 1. that Developers Options has been enabled on your Phone.
To Turn ART on:
1. Head to Settings-> Developer Options.
2. Tap on Select Runtime.
3. Select Use ART.
4. The phone will reboot and optimize your programs then you'll be good to go.
Another tip to fix lag:
1. Head to Settings-> Developer Options.
2. Scroll Down to Transition animation scale and tap it.
3. Select Animation scale .5
4. Select Transition animation scale and tap it.
5. Select Animation scale .5.
6. Select Animator duration scale and tap it.
7. Select Animation Scale .5
This Should Help speed things up. Another option is to replace the stock lg launcher. I personally use Nova Launcher Prime(paid version).
This is a link to the free version which is very good.
Nova Launcher:

How to run any app in dual window:
First you need to have a rooted phone.
download Build Prop Editor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en
open the app and go to persist.splitwindow.support_all
tap on it and change the value to true, tap save and then reboot. Now you can choose whatever apps you want in dual window.

Then go to nova settings. Then go to gestures and buttons. Find double tap. Tap on it then select the program you downloaded. Youll have knock on and off back.

Easy guys...lag bothers some more than others. ART goes a long way as does debloating and greenifying, launchers and animations to 0, FPS tweaks...all affect lag perception.

[Q] thermal throttling sprint lg g3

okay so im trying to turn off thermal throttling on my sprint lg g3. i type in the code 5689#*990# to get to the hidden menu, but my hidden menu only lists: DEVICE TEST, ELT TEST, FACTORY RESET, LOG SERVICE, and WVDRM KEYBOX. do i have to enable something in order to see the other options or can i just not get them on my model?

Try an app called "shortcut master lite", you should be able to search for what your looking for through that. Sprint disabled a lot of stuff in the hidden menu for some reason. I used that app to disable OTA's also

Oh I know especially with the stock launcher the stutters killed me lol. I flashed barrens ROM not to long ago and running on ART, this thing flys now with no lag or stutters.

yeah i switched to ART too it seemed to help a bit but i was still seeing a whole bunch of lag especially when texting or using the keyboard at all. now that i turned off thermal throttling though this thing is like butter! im currently looking for a good launcher. any suggestions??

In shortcut master lite search "thermal" - two results should be returned. Select the following option (should be the second result returned): com.lge.hiddenmenu.thermalsensor.ThermalMitigation

Try searching either "High Temperature Property" or "Thermal Daemon Mitigation" believe that should work.

u need root
To tirn off the thermal thing you need root then use the short cut app ... Before root it wouodnt launch the shortcut but after root now i can turn it off.
