Bottom buttons stops working.

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx

do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it

try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik

I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.

Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.

Warrianty it's a faaaar away past

I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...

If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen

I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.

Where did You get this board? Ebay?

I don't think they send to Poland, but thx anyway..

Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

[Q] Touchscreen "stepped" movement

After the ICS roms started to come out (and I started to flash them), at some point my touchscreen started to perform strangely... when I'm swiping between screens(slowly, so i can see the screen transition) the screens move "bumpy" like if my fingers was moving in steps... and other indicators (the one that show where is my finger is on the screen) show that when i glide my finger smoothly across the screen the input is stepped movement...
what shall I do ?

Mate, I think this is the touchscreen problem that the ics developers mentions. What ics rom do you use?

I thought most touchscreens had that?
Before i bought my DHD, i saw a video of some guy drawing in one of those drawing apps and he moved his finger from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
It wasn't a straight line but looked like steps.
AND he wasn't using a DHD!!
I've had that behaviour since i bought my phone with Froyo on it.

That's made with the app Paint Joy to show you what i mean.

now I use lord's AOKP and the problem started after I started to install ICS roms.
I dont know after which rom it started but Im sure the problem wasn't before, i installed painting app on the blackice rom (before there was android 4.0) and it worked good (the lines was straight and accurate) but when i installed the same rom again and the same app again (2 weeks ago, to test the touchscreen) the line wasnt straight anymore
any help ?
*also I remembered another problem, if I draw a line near the side of the screen the line is cut, a line near the upper or lower edge of the screen is normal and is one line but near the edge it isnt. ( i dont know if this was from the beginning or came when the other problem started)

I seem to have the same problem. I have flashed a few ice roms, and am know back on mikrunny Rom a and my touch screen does not seem to be as fluid as it was before flashing the ice roms, I thought it was my imagination, but if you are having the same problem, there must be something that is causing this. I use the super wipe zip before I flash a new Rom or restore a back up, so its a bit of a mystery.
Edit: I pulled the battery and left it out for about 20 mins and it seems to be ok now and moving smoothly will see how it goes

This is due to the screen technology in the handset and has nothing to do with your ROM or software configuration. The sensor grid for the screen is in an isometric array instead of a regular matrix array, because this saves money and gives nearly the same experience, BUT 1:1 tracking is not possible on our screens.
To reproduce this and observe the layout of the array, you can simply download any app that allows you to draw on the screen. Try to draw a straight line from a corner of the screen to the corner diagonally opposite.
I first noticed this on my Australian Vodafone vendor Ace running stock Gingerbread in early 2011. It is worth noting that I haven't seen this screen technology in any other handset before or afterward - my sister's Ace was the same, she recently upgraded to a Runnymede and that has a great screen.

with flashing ROMs you can't brake touchscreen...
you can try with touchscreen test from market if it has movement from lef to rignt and up/down in both portrait and landscape

Well, i understand that already 2 people said to me that its not flashing a rom problem and im probably wrong.... but im certainly remember i used a drawing app before and was able to draw normally but all the lines are like in the post above.
Also i remember few roms that asked to RE-CALIBRATE the touchscreen after i flashed them, can this be the problem ??? and after changing rom i cant wipe it the same way i cant wipe the clockworkmod ???
** im really frustrated because now, instead of a great smartphone with great and large touchscreen, I got a smartphone with (what seems to be) ~10 sensitive dots on the screen and making every movement on the screen stepped and irritating.

all touch screens suffer from this type of thing. They usually take about 0.1s between you touching the screen and doing something with it on the display. You can see an effect of this lag on this mikcrosoft video:
youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vOvQCPLkPt4
I think it's just a nocebo effect in your brain that you think there might be a problem when your running a completley different rom that your used to!

i really dont understand waht exactly are you talking about. are you sure there isnt something lagging your phone alltogether? because either i dont have that or you are massively oevrreacting (which i doubt)
so could you please state what rom are you using? and kernel? any other extras? how many user apps? try a fresh install, of course make a nand first...
@others:
i tried drawing on my screen, and to get the pattern from the post above, your "finger speed" has to be just right. if you go faster, it dissapears, and if you go slower it is greatly reduced. has anybody tried with a stylus and a ruller? i think that it is the closest to mesurable we can easly get.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiNa8EHkViE
not mine video, but it shows exactely the problem i have.....Do you have this problem ? does everyone have this problem ? if not, how could this be solved ?

ok, now i know what you ment
i get that too, but it seems to have more to do with scrolling than touchscreen, because i can see slight movement between the steps, and then it just jumps to the next "step"
i tried drawing a line in paint, and if you try hard enough to draw a straight line slowly you can do a much better job then the one on the screen shot on the previous page. it still isnt perfectly straight, but wiggles much less and quite randomly. in this case i think the reason is accuracy of my finger, since i did manage to get a few cm of pretty straight line. as i said, does anyone have a capacitive stylus? try that with a ruller

In the video they said it could be caused by bad/wrong drivers.... could it ??

As i said in my post with the screenshot:
This behavior has always been there for me with froyo, gingerbread and now cm7.
And since there are so many with this "problem" i suggest that it's not a problem but just how it is.
If it really is a problem for you, you should write an email to HTC and ask if there is a fix or if this in fact is the normal behaviour.

OK, my last try... Can this be caused by some wrong/bad drivers OR can it be caused by the screen calibration after a rom is installed??
AND can I fix it ? or at least minimize the problem ?

I've never seen this icon until I installed then Uninstalled Edgetouch by Good Lock. Anybody knows how to get rid of this annoyance?

Did you set edge touch to optimized setting before uninstalling?
I don't think that's even part of that app.
I just ditch it, no issues.
Try in safe mode.
Try clearing system cache.

Yes I set it back to optimize before I uninstalled. I'll try Safemode.

No luck after safe mode and clearing system cache. I used the phone for a full week without a case and never saw this icon until I installed edgetouch. It happens every time my palm touches the screen while using without a case. Palm touches without a case are unavoidable with the S20 ultra

Thank you.
For reminding me of this apk.
I had forgotten it was running and with the case I use it's not needed. The bloody thing was causing edge zone cut/paste issues.
I had been blaming One Handed Operation + for that issue. Fixed
I don't think this apk is causing your issue though. Try reinstalling it and see if any change ocures. It's definitely a 3rd party apk though.
Sometimes poorly written apps will alter hidden settings. Never seen one do something like this though; I think it's a currently running app on your system. If safe mode removes it, there's no doubt.
If a system app it may be a bugger to find.
I look at the app cache (Device Care) after clearing it to see what loads first and/or when the icon first appears. I also use Package Disabler to troubleshoot this kind of issue; disable the offending apk, it will disappear.
I would not do a factory reset as it will likely reoccur unless you ID the root cause.
Play with it... sometimes it takes a while but the answer will eventually turn up
Note: always use a good case. These phones will get severely damaged eventually otherwise.
They are corner hitting, face planting happy devices. I use the Zizo Bolt on my Note 10+, it has provided excellent protection. The kickstand tends to break but that's it's only weakness.

I feel like such a noob. That was my edge panel handle that mysteriously got moved to the bottom of the screen lol. Could have happened when I was trying different resolutions and DPIs.
I take my case off only at home. The S20 ULTRA is already a big device and the added bulk of a case can become uncomfortable very quick. I've not cracked a phone screen since the S6 edge and I've carried caseless about 90 percent of the time. As heavy as this thing is I know one drop on concrete and it's over the screen

Sorry I didn't even think of that little bugger. I did the same thing over a year ago and drove me nuts too.
I thought it looked familiar
I only use it for easy multiple cut/paste... probably need to revisit that for a better option.

Question Video Fainting while playing on the device

Hi, well I was new here so I was thinking of starting with one problem at a time but,
Whenever I try to play a video, like from all platforms (Prime Video, Youtube, video players like VLC, websites, etc....), the normal color of the video is hindered like there appears to be some kind of a fainting screen overlapping the video reducing the color and playback experience.
And the main thing is this seems to go away when we press the Volume rocker button and until the volume bar appears on the screen the natural colors of the video appear but as soon as it disappears, it goes back to the hindered color version.
It seems like a film is pasted over the screen area and as soon as you press the volume rocker, it is removed!
I have tried formatting and also deleting specific apps used for playing videos and reinstalling them, but of no avail.
Could someone maybe help me out?

Idk if it will work but I would suggest to turn of all options in menu called "Dark Mode options"
Maybe it will help

Nope I have showed it to the xiomi sevice center and they think it might be a motherboard issue and asked me to let them keep the device for a couple of days but since I'm not free enough I couldnt give it to them! Am planning on giving it next week!

Hi there!
I changed my motherboard due to another issue with networks but the video issue still remains!
Now the service center guys are saying that it is a feature in the device but what kind of a feature it is if it doesn't let us use the amoled screen with the original colors and darkness!
Well currently don't know any solution have suggested to feedback app in miui but no updates of the same!
If you have got any solution please do tell!

Thanks for the update , i've lost hope for the device

this issue was fixed after installing riceDroid rom for me

General Android 13 with OneUI 5.0 out in the EU

France, Italy and UK confirmed so far, no update for me though.

installing right now - T-Mobile, Czech republic

Just installed in sPain. Feels way snappier

Update done, Portuguese TPH version. Since its new ONE UI and new Android, its important to do a factory reset?

You need to wipe cache and repair apps by plugging in the phone into PC, then turn off phone and hold launch button + volume up, fixed issues for me!

for me it is very annoying - previously I used to enter my password once a week and now it happens to me several times a day because the failure to recognize my fingerprint several times forces me to use a password (and I have a long one)

I have no problems with fingerprint recognition. But since I updated 4 days ago, the fingerprint reader didn't "light up" on turned off screen several times already.
I also experienced very heavy battery drain the day after I installed the update - 35% over night, then ~15%/hour during short geocaching hike. But rebooting the phone fixed that.
Other than that, I don't really see any difference in speed/performance - I feel it's identically great as it was before.
Oh and the new "pocket detection" screen with swipe up is really annoying and difficult to unlock.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone else lost the ability to use the cellular band selection hidden network setting - under the Call Settings menu? I'm not able to access it in Android 13. It says the app is no longer installed.
This is the menu: com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui.hiddennetworksetting.MainActivity

Update went smoothly for me, no hiccups or crashing problems after it.
Biggest problem I've had so far, like jenda.69 mentioned, is the new accidental touch protection screen, not sure why Samsung felt the need to change something when it was already working well. I could not for the life of me unlock the screen.
Other than that, I'd say everything else is pretty good. Mini stutters from OneUI 4 are fixed, like the ones that happened often in the quick settings menu. Personally I prefer the animations from OneUI 4 but I don't have a problem with the new ones either. The new clock font options are pretty slick as well.
Lastly some nitpicks; The default animated call screen is gone which is a very minor thing but I did like that gradient animation a lot and how it changed according to contact pictures. New one is pretty dull. Samsung didn't make use of the new Android 13 media player either which is kinda disappointing but I don't have too big a problem with that.
Overall a decent update. 9/10 has a little something for everyone
