[Q] Screen unresponsive in some areas - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The issue is the screen doesn't register my taps in certain areas. I've had this issue since I was a MIUI rom, i'm not on TrollogenMOD so I don't think it's a rom issue.
On the sense rom if I try to select one of the words suggested on the sense keyboard it picks the letter under it. Is there a way to recalibrate it ? or is it a kernel/radio issue. ?
This also happens when I try to click log-in in certain apps when the "log-in" button is towards the center of the page

Bump ? anyone?

I think that on CM there is an option to calibrate screen in settings.

[Q] Answer phone

every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?
Did you try flashing a different kernel?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,
same problem , cannot answer with swipe keys
I have the same problem, which update did you use

Touch panel trouble

Noticed something strange for the first time , screen is laggy and not responsive while charging the phone , I think it maybe is the kernel as its the first time to notice this , It happened after flashing franco-r6 kernel and iam using insert coin 6.3.1 Rom
Is this normal ?

You flashed a ROM, You're not stock therefore you need to consult the dev of that Rom about the issue.
To be fair, I had this issue on stock.. so it probably isn't a problem with the ROM

Yep I get this issue at times as well. Especially when I've left it to charge for a while and try to perform a pattern unlock. Happens about twice a week or so. Screen returns to normal after 10 seconds or so. Weird.
+1 this happens on stock roms all the time. it's intermittent, and often can be temporarily fixed by switching the screen off then on again.
I'm about to send my phone in for repair because of this problem. I actually have a dead patch on the screen which is intermittent. If I go to Developer Options > Pointer Location, and then trace my finger around the screen, I can see the patch where it's not picking up the input. Also sometimes the phone behaves erratically and can become completely unresponsive and flicks back and forth between home screens. Turning the screen off and then on again fixes it temporarily.

"Long press" stuck in cm10.1 - can't scroll in apps

After about a day of use my touch screen thinks any touch is a long press and thus I can't scroll in apps. When I try to scroll it think I'm holding down my finger - in calendar for instance I can't scroll through days, it thinks I am trying to add an event to the day I'm on. In BBC I can't scroll through articles it think I'm right click on the article etc.
Rebooting fixes the issue, but it happens every single day. Any idea what could be going on?
I have the same issue running 10.1 on an HTC One XL. Did you ever find the solution?

did either of you try wiping data/cache/dalvik and reflashing the rom and gapps?
I wiped and installed from scratch originally. I'll try reflashing the rom and gapps and wiping the cache again. I'd rather not lose everything but I'll do it as a last resort. Thanks.

I have had the same problem periodically. I update cm10.1 every morning and it has only happend to me on certain updates, rebooting solves the problem. However, with it happening every day maybe try a different update? Works for me, you might get something out of it.
those single press becomes long press is a known bug from android source code, wait for google to fix it.
the only current fix is to reboot your phone, though it's only temporary.

or flash a different ROM in the mean time. I've used both root box and AOKP with no issues with the long presses. I specifically stopped using cm because of that bug.

"Ghost touch" problem

Hello,
I have been having serious problems with my touchscreen of my Mi5s lately. After 1-2 mins of using the phone it starts registering "ghost touches" in the bottom 1/6 of the screen. Sometimes I cant even use the touchscreen because its going crazy and dont even register the inout from my fingers. I dont really know whats causing this and how to fix it Does anyone here know whats happening?
here an example: http://sendvid.com/r77q5zdt?secret=6919bdcc-a775-49bc-af4b-724694a71d6e

Question Touch Screen Problem!

hello everyone,
I just bought z fold 3 a few days ago,
after hours of working with I found that sometimes the touch screen(inner display) doesn't respond,
for example, some words don't type when I am typing quickly with the keyboard (just sometimes)
factory data reset didn't help.
has anyone run into the same problem? may be resolved with future updates?
Is it only happening to apps connected to the internet ie is it a connection issue?
The internet's been goofed up in some areas the last few days. Try toggling the airplane mode off/on.
Keep power management disabled for now.
Does it happen in safe mode?
Find the factory test settings for the touch display, test (and calibrate if needed/possible).
If you can't resolve it, return it. Otherwise eyeball every square inch of it like a hawk...
I tested the touchscreen with *#0*# and everything is fine.
just sometimes this problem occurs and I think this may be software problems...
have you z fold 3?

No. Basic troubleshooting.
Samsung will likely release firmware updates to correct this if enough devices are effected. It may be a 3rd party app causing this... try in safe mode. Disable animations for now and see what its got.
I stopped at the N10+/Android 10 and will likely stay in this holding pattern for at least 2 years.
I have two now and they run close to flawlessly.
Both Samsung and Android are having major issues, plus I require a SD card slot. Even issues on the N20U, which helped nix it from my list.
It may be a good year for Fold fans but otherwise both Android and Samsung have dropped the ball and are in a flat spin... in my opinion.
my problem is just like what you see in this youtube video in Time 12:15 and 12:49 . I must double try some times to click some things. this is very annoying on the keyboard and when you are typing quickly.

If stateside you can go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience store. They can do advanced testing on it... allegedly.
I would get it resolved soon or return it for a complete refund.

I tested the touch screen with "touch screen test" Application and uploaded a video on youtube, you can see here.
It looks fine to me... do you mean latency time?
What are power settings at? Try bumping it up to maximum performance.
Check ram usage.
Is there anyone here with z fold 3 and the same problem?!!!
I only face this problem when I touch the edge of the display with my palm.

I tried to replicate the issue. I downloaded the same app on my Fold 3. I tried for few minutes.
On my device every click is registered. No missing dots.
I have the exact same issue. I addressed it by increasing the screen sensitivity.
Hey, I just noticed it today as well. When I try to type text faster, sometimes I need to double click on letters. I think this problem came with the latest update, because I havent had that problem before. It is frustrating.
I tried to turn on sensitivity option in settings and I will reply here after day or two testing.
seems to be a bit better with that option turned on
