[Q] Touch Screen goes nuts after root/bloatware removal?

I recently rooted my phone and removed some bloatware (all backed up btw) mainly the ones on the safe list in the thread posted about it here. I don't know if that is what is causing the following problem, but just to preface that if so.
I noticed it yesterday when I was trying to type something using swype, when I finished letting go the screen started to randomly tap and drag letters without me even touching it. I stopped had to turn the screen off/on to get it to stop. I also notice that if I hold the phone vertically and move it around a bit it starts to drag the home screens back and forth. Also when I am at the phone menu it's hard to tap the exact number I want. If I tap 5 say, it will randomly either tap 5 or 8. It's liek it's not calibrated.
So I go to the display to calibrate it and it kind of sort of alleviates some of the other issues, but I still have inaccurate touces. Is it a program I removed perhaps from htc that is necessary for the screen. Do I need to update the firmware on the rooted one?

[Q] Lag when switching to Landscape mode?

Hey guys,
Love the G2. Anyone notice that there's a 3-4 sec lag sometimes when switching over to landscape with keyboard out?
Anyone have this problem?

Yea it really depends in how much stuff you have on your screen.

No not me. It could be that you have too much things running in the background and its eating your memory. Try killing things running in the background or restart your phone.

I notice a little lag with widgets on the screen. And sometimes the home screen is blank when backing out of apps, but shifting the screen left or right brings it back.

i get the same thing when i have alot of things running.

Yah I get the same... blank empty screen for a while when exiting certain apps and going back to home.. kinda annoying sometimes

Anyone have a work around?
Basically I notice it happens if:
- Screen is off
- Open/Close keyboard (orientation change)
- Screen turns on, if I'm in an app, i.e. messaging I then
- Press home key
- LAG, blank home screen for 4 seconds...
Really annoying, I think it might be something I installed but I haven't done any serious modding (only root, S-off, unlock... installed visionary and setcpu but running stock ROM)

Very minor yet odd problem with screen when I turn Desire on

When I turn my phone on, and then slide down to unlock, it very briefly shows me the 'main' screen on my 7-page wide homescreen (the one that shows the time and shortcuts to email, people, etc) but then quickly zips across 2 'pages' to the left without me even touching it. Like page 2 rather than the middle one, page 4, the default screen when I turn it on from sleep.
Does anyone know why it might do this?

Make sure you don't come near your htc desire trackball, if I assume you have a desire! In my experience with my desire it is some times very sensitive to the smallest movement (skipping 7 screens when trying to switch 1 screen)

I always found the Sense UI very buggy when it came to managing the screens. I would sometimes loose all widgets and shortcuts until I switched to an empty screen then back again. Or it would jump to the last screen randomly when an app closed.
Just get rid of Sense UI and you won't have the problem (you may want to wait until your warranty is up).

Home button continues pressing?

I've had this issue before on my LG Power (Straight Talk branded LG Leon), running on Lollipop 5.0. No matter what I look for I can't find anyone who's experienced similar issues.
It just happened last night on my 5-day old Nexus. I could not open any of my folders to access apps. As soon as a touched a folder, it briefly showed the animation to open it, and it immediately closed. Whenever I selected a widget or the app drawer, they would immediately close as well. When I attempted to swipe down the notification/quick settings shade, they immediately closed themselves. Turning off the screen resulted in the screen immediately turning back on, albeit locked. I was even having trouble turning the device off because the 'Power Off' menu would disappear right after it popped up. Eventually I was able to time it right and was able to power off. Since I restarted I have not have any issues.
Any idea what gives? I'm unrooted, locked bootloader, everything 100% stock, running MM 6.0.1.

the only explanations i can come up with are:
-accidental touching the area in some way (unlikely)
-getting some substance stuck on the screen in that area (unlikely)
-a faulty touch panel (unlikely and very specific defect)
-a hickup in the software (again unlikely)
then again, if the OS (for whatever reason) thinks the home button is pressed, on default it should not only pull you back to the homescreen, but continue and send you right through to google. the conclusion of which would be, that this UI area is triggered repeatedly rather than continuously.
keep an eye out for what could have triggered it in case it occurs again.
check your settings what build exactly you are running (settings -> about phone -> build number).
ans lastly, if it happens again, you should still be able to hold your power button to hard-reboot it (no further interaction with the UI required).

Try to clean your screen also with a towel

That is extremely weird. It really sounds like a faulty digitizer, but you'd be the first... Maybe it's a rogue app, but unlikely.
Were you doing something before this starts to happen?

I haven't noticed any consistent apps or behaviors when this would occur. This most recent time, I was low on battery (10%) and I had just flipped on my data.

fyi. you could also just press and hold the power button, for 10 secs, for a reboot ( might come in handy when the screen isn't working properly).

appreciate the tip! I'll keep this in mind if it happens again.

Finally was able to capture a video. The issue occurred after I was playing around with Open Camera and it crashed. Holding down the power button didn't work when this glitch is happening.

What's the icon on the lock screen, top right in the status bar? That behavior is unusual if it's not a screen defect. Are you using any apps that monitor battery, a task killer, or maybe a security monitor app?

The icon is a picture for my user profile on the phone.
I don't use anything like that. I had Clean Master installed briefly but it's been uninstalled for a couple of days now.

so it seems like this issue pops up whenever the camera crashes. happens occasionally when using the camera shortcut (double power tap) or in an app that uses the camera.

It's got to be software IMO. It didn't happen when you went to Google Now and your Recent Apps. I'd try uninstalling the Open Camera app first. Do you have Face Unlock active by chance? After that I'd FDR...

right, that's what's confusing me. i did a factory reset last week, set up the phone as a new device. haven't installed a new camera app, just the stock google camera. the issue occurred again last night when using an app called Shopkick, which accesses the camera but crashed.

Question Annoying screen problem

So here is an annoying situation.. Working on the external screen, if I keep it on, and I open (unfold) the screen, I get the home screen of the UI5.0 with a display on the left side, and a blank on the right half. If I turn the screen 90 degress (unfolded) the full screen is then turned. Turning it back will give a full screen in the orientation that gave me half screen only. it does not happen if unfolding the screen is done when the outside screen is in landscape mode.
I tried changing setup, not have apps keep open, and other screen setups. Nothing. I have to turn the screen 90 degrees and back to fix this stupidity?
Anyone else experienced it? Anyone has a fix or knows what cretaes it?
Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year

What app are you using?
I use SCRPY on my Windows PC and got the same "problem".
I just reconnect my phone when i fold/unfold.

I actually do not connect my phone to any device. It happens when I have the outside screen on, and I unfold the phone. It does not ask for any PIN or Finger print, and it opens with half left on and black on the right side as shown on the attached pics. If I now tilt the phone 90 degrees it turns 90, and turn the black side on, then I rotate it back, and all the screen is on. Now if I unfold the phone when the outer screen is off, it wakes up asking for PIN, and touching the fingerprint, will turn the full screen correctly. That rules out a screen problem, butthere is a definition somewhere I may want to change. Can't seem to know how. It is just annoying.. not an epic failure of the phone..

Let's add more info ... I turned the phone into safe mode, and the problem can not be reproduced, so my guess there is an app that cause it. Anyone willing to attempt an guess what app can cause it? Besides regular, reputible apps like Email, Google messeges, Skype, Whatsapp, I use 'led me know' , 'Galaxy MaxHz' , 'Kaspersky'. I checked my running services and nothing in that list makes me think it causes it. Any ideas are welcomed..

Only thing i can think off look under permissions - draw over other apps.
Disable them one by one and check if the problem exists.

Removed 'Led me know' and the problem can not be reproduced. Shame, I like the app.. . Looks like the recent update has some 'fix' to enable the location on the status bar area, and at the same time it broke something for the 'FOLD' 4 folks. I found someone else leave a 5 star review (which if did not brek the fold move from screen the screen, is the right rank) and state just the same observation.. Oh well.
