I rock a Droid Eris (yes I'm pissed that Verizon isn't going to release a Stock Froyo ROM) and before I root it and put Froyo on it JUST to spite Verizon, I want to make absolutely sure the phone is in good working order before I void the warranty.
I think I'm getting phantom screen taps but I'm not sure, so I'm looking for an app that will do the following:
1. Log the number of screen taps in realtime
2. show where on the screen the latest few taps were located on the screen, using colors, crosshairs, ect.
Can anyone recommend such a touch screen test app?
And while I have your attention, can anyone link me to the One-Touch Eris root method, and install instructions for the Clockwork Mod bootloader?

I am having problems with the swipe down Notification bar on my Desire HD. I would have posted it in there, but this is a general problem, as I have seen it on several android phones in other forums. However, the ones I have seen are all HTC. Whether this is a manufacturer related issue I do not know.
Put quite simply; it won't slide down in portrait. But when I switch to landscape it works perfectly fine.
One of the suggestions was to use Draw Pad and see if there were any deadspots on the touchscreen. So I go nuts, and find a bar about half an inch on the top of the screen that isn't responding, unless I flick upwards quite quickly. But it's not a deadspot, as when I'm using that part of the phone in landscape it works perfectly. I can also swipe down in landscape from the corner (top right) perfect as well. So I would say it can't be the hardware.
The last time the notification bar worked was when I was in Tweetdeck, and swiped like mad through a load of tweets to class them as 'Read'. I've since uninstalled Tweetdeck, restarted my phone (both by using Restart and by removing the battery), and returned the phone to Factory Settings, but nothing works.
I understand that I can install a ROM as a last resort, but I am pretty sure that there must be an app that can reset the touchscreen calibration or something similar, to reset the dimensions of the screen when it's in portrait, or a hidden setting that can reset it. My phone isn't rooted, so I would much rather fix the problem, rather than overwrite it to save the extra work when I wouldn't really appreciate a rooted phone with a custom ROM.
I am running Android 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1. My Kernel Version is 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb | htc-kernel(at symbol)and18-2 #1. The build number is 2.50.405.2 CL87995 release-keys.
(The (at symbol) is because I am new and outside links are forbidden for new users)
My phone isn't rooted, however I am not averse to doing so if it helps solve the problem. I have minimal experience with the Terminal, however, so if it is required, I could do with instructions rather than 'do X and Y'.
Thanks, and sorry for the wall of text.
I have searched all over looking for some type of port for this lock screen. I just updated my girls Razor Maxx to ICS, and it has it on there. Just wondering if there's any way that we could have this on our Skyrockets! Don't know if someone can port it, & make it into a zip file. Just curious, and would love to also have it on my phone. Very convenient to me..

Go launcher has those locks screens, I'm not sure if you can just use a go lock screen or you have to be running the launcher too
Need a shortcut to turn off screen and lock device without touching power button.
GF got use to using the one I put on HTC Inc 2. Looking for one that works on
our Sammy S3 Verizon.

I use Screen off and lock found in Google play store.
Screen off and lock ap by Kattaca is one of the only "real one" of these apps available. The multitude of widgets are useless, they just black your screen. Only problem with these apps in android 4.0+ is there is an instant reflash of the screen when the screen shuts off. This is not an issue with the app it, is a bug in the android os. I personally do not mind because I love the app, get the donate version and be glad you did. I've been in contact with the dev testing on different os's and he is on the issue as soon as there is a fix available.
JustCause,
Screen Off and Lock by Katecca is your best bet. There are many
others but none of them work. Although Screen Off and Lock isn't
perfect its the only game in town if you need a one click to turn off
screen. Here's a link 4U https://play.google.com/store/apps/...reenofflockdonate&feature=more_from_developer
Hope This Helps:fingers-crossed:
I've just installed TEAM VENOM 3.1.0 on my Sensation 4G. It is my first custom ROM thanks to the All-In-One tool that made it so much easier. So I've been trying out the new features to figure out all the things that can be customized. What has happened now is I can't unlock it. The pattern unlock screen is so zoomed in, only 1 dot is completely visible, 1 is partially visible, and 4 are barely visible. The whole bottom row is not usable. What can I do besides boot to recovery and reinstall the ROM?
BTW, what is causing this? Because it used to be zoomed out a little so the dots don't fill the screen. Then it was zoomed in a little but still usable. Now it's so zoomed in it's unusable. I tried to look for somewhere to change the font size, but maybe it's the clock size affecting it?

or boot to the bootloader and select reboot
after that uninstall whatever changed it
i'll give it a try
Thanks, that looks promising. No driver or adb installed at work computer, so have to wait until i get home. I can still get calls; just have to do without messaging today...
VERY strange touch screen behaviour
Device: LG P920 Australian Optus Model, was upgraded to 2.3.5 using LG tools, then rooted ( cant remember which guide I used but it installed a package and su, was not superone click, maybe VRoot? it was for 2.3.5 and it worked) .
- then updated to v28b- eur- xx ICS , 4.0.4, kernal 3.0.21 using guides from Drastic00 xda guide
I am a bit of a phone noob, just learning to root using old samsungs and did my first ics flash on the LG P920. All good so far and thanks to all the guide contributors.
So the problem I am having in that the touch screen has two dead sections, the bottom section exactly covering the area occupied by the phone , message ect icons, and half way up a similar size section right across the phone. I have searched every post and forum I can find and cant find any thing like this. The touch screen works, just not in those sections. To get around it I can some times flip the phone to access things on parts of the screen that work, but a lot of time not.
I believe this started after I rooted the phone, although its always had issues with touch lag. If I hadnt rooted the phone, and its was just some random section I would put it down to hardware, but using the developer touch screen tests i can see the dead parts are exactly rectangle over the main phone controls at the bottom, which seems to me to indicate software, and on the new ics home screen I have activated the touches to be visual, and there are quite often two touch points racing back and forth along the little white line just above the dialer, message ect icons. when this happen you cant activate anything else because it thinks you are using two touches on the screen already.
I have used the LG remote computer controls program and i can access all sections of the screen perfectly through it, so that rules out everything but the link between the screen and phone in terms of software/ hardware. Have pulled off the ribbon plug and reattached also. I was hoping after upgrade to ICS it would be resolved but no luck. Unfortunately I cant remember how I rooted it but it was working fine for a few days then i noticed the touch issue after I started killing bloatware with Titanium. Is it possible removing an app has somehow messed up the touch screen code and its somehow not being repaired by the ics upgrade? Anyone seen this type of thing before. Found one post with a dead section after removing an app, but wast the whole bottom section and no ghost touches running around. Possessed?

actually this post is similar to my problem but no solution found, will contact poster to see if it was a screen failure or software. My screen is also periodically doing the flashing buttons, going beserk thing as described in this post.
