Hello,
I have a Motorola Defy. Games work really well on it, but a couple of days ago I have encountered a problem: while playing games that have virtual buttons on screen, after a while the buttons just stop working, then if I pause and start the game again, it works again.
Let me give a concrete example: while playing a racing game you have to hold the acceleration button pressed all the time. I do this, but after some time that button stops working well. I keep it pressed, but the game recognises the press only for a second, then stops again. I press it again, it recognises the press for a second again, then stops, and so on. This happens to all of the buttons on the screen. If I go to the game menu, then enter again in the game, everithing works fine again, until this thing happens again.
It is really anoying, as I don't think there is something wrong with the touchscreen. Everywhere else, the touchscreen works fine.
Anyone knows what the problem might be?

When I wake the polaris up, it seems that the left button (the one in the wheel) is permanently pressed until I press another button. I have to do this in order to unlock the device, as the button is pressed I only get the message "Press cancel and then unlock".
This happens every time I wake up the device and sometimes when I am using it in other situations. It is almost unusable in this state.
I suppose it is a hardware problem. Any ideas for a way to fix it? I wouldn't like to send it to service, but I am fearing this is the only chance I have now. Any help would be appreciated. I have already switched it off, and also removed the battery for a while, but I have the same problem when I turn it on again.
This has happened to me for the first time yesterday. The device has not fallen to the ground any time since I have it (since February). I only carry it in my pocket.
Thanks for your help.
ah, I forgot to tell you. When the button stops being pressed (because I have pulsed another one) it doesn't work anymore. If a press it, no effect, the cursor doesn't move to the left...
I have read in another forum that someone who had a similar problem with the wheel managed to solve it by doing a hard reset and by restoring a backup done before the problem. He stated that using the option "erasing memory" didn't work and that he had to do the hard reset by doing "gps button + ie button + soft reset".
Here is the funny thing. I cannot do that kind of hardreset. Why? Because as the left button seems always pressed the confirmation screen in which you must press the send button to perform the hard reset, never appears. I guess it is due to the cruise which detects that the combination of buttons is no good or because the confirmation screen is shown but as the left button is pressed, you do not have enough time to press the send button (I don't even see the screen).
Is there anyway to perform the hard reset in another way? Thanks for your help...
Well, my cruise works fine now. What have I done? Nothing. Maybe it was a hardware problem in the contact of the button (some dirt or whatever) and now it is working. I don't know, although it wouldn't surprise me if it were software (I had a similar problem with the vibrator in a Mio A701, two days broken, got to work after that and never again failed). I just used the bluetooth and received a couple of calls.
Now I can hardreset. As the button is no longer permanently pressed, the combination of buttons works. Although I haven't pressed "send" to actually do it, since it seems fine.
More here if it fails again, but as I told you I read similar problems in the wheel in another forum...
Anyone have problems with the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone and the scroll wheel? Talking about the att fuze here. Randomly when using the text program it will scroll in and out without stopping. Only way to make it stop is to press the power button to turn the screen off then again to turn the screen back on. Also, when i press the bottom left key to bring up the dialer sometimes it will not and just do nothing. Just as in a phone call i press the bottom right hard key to hang up the call and sometimes it will not respond what so ever.
I know the keys work because when i press them they light up showing i pressed them but they have no effect. This happens about 50% of the time and not at all rom related. I have tried over 8 different roms including those with tf3d2 and wm6.5 and all have the same problem. I have even tried flashing to the stock att rom and even on that rom i am still having this problem. I have never dropped my phone or any physical damage. Any ideas? I have already called warranty exchange and have another fuze on its way to me. I am convinced it has to be hardware related some how since no rom will work 100% for me with these keys. I have had my phone since january and out of the blue this all started about 3 weeks ago.

I dont have that problem, but sometimes my keys dont work and I have to turn off the screen and turn it back on
sometimes I even have to soft-reset my phone
this is partially because the Left and Right directional button is roughly between the Home/pick up and Back/hang up keys respectively. you have to press more towards the corner otherwise it will register as a left or right press.
another situation is when it is running a bunch of processes in the background it forgets what keys are what and you just have to turn it off and turn it back on (the display) and it should work again. that or open a random program and exit out back into tf3d
goodluck
Actually, I have exactly the problem that you're reporting where the zoom in happens circurlarly, without any ceasing. It's driving me batty.
I've got an HD2 running Android. I installed iheartradio and it works fine most of the time. But, intermittently, most often after I make a phone call and hang up before it's answered (purely anecdotal but that SEEMS to be what happens), the radio won't work any more. I can press the play button, it tries, but no sound. Eventually, I get a popup that it "can't connect to server"...
I've toggled the wireless off and on, and looked at other settings, but I don't see any indication of why it'd suddenly stop working.
I'm not sure it's the same problem but sometimes when this happens, pressing the play button is ignored. Pressing repeatedly has no effect.
So far, the only way I've been able to get things working again is to power off the phone and reboot...
Ideas of what I should check/change?
Well, I see this problem just sat here like a turd in a punch bowl...
I presume this means it's just another app that mostly works most of the time on the HD2 running Android. And when it fails you just shut the phone off and reboot...
Hi guys,
I am having a weird issue on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 where, if you hold in one spot for too long, the tablet stops detecting your finger on the screen. This is most apparent in games where, for example, you have to hold one direction on a d-pad for a while. After holding the button for 5-10 seconds, input is no longer detected, and the character stops moving. At this point, I'll need to remove my finger before input will be detected again (and this can take anywhere between instantly to a few seconds).
I've tried it on 4 tablets and all present with the same issue. Does anyone have any solutions/suggestions?
Yes am too facing this issue but still no fix found...
Its called water drop detection which means if u long press screen your touch get disabled for 2-3 seconds...this"FEATURE" is for avoiding accidental touches....i hate it....gives a lot problem in games gta,where is my water,moto racer etc...
Hello.
just got my W8 phone few days ago.
works fine, but just tried to play Temple Run game... and it is laggy.
after swiping my finger on the screen it takes around 1 second until it jumping ...
I tried to install other temple run games and still no improvement..
What can I do?
I also noticed that when I press the Power button to unlock the phone from sleeping it takes 1-2 seconds until screen turns on.
Got root with 2.5 TWRP recovery.
Also checked that no other apps are running in background
Any suggestions?
How can I decrease response time for buttons and touchscreen?
Thanks!
Anyone?
