Touch screen lag

When I unlock my phone and immediately tap an icon nothing happens. I know I've read that other people have had this problem. Has anyone figured out what causes it

Never hears of that, when I immediately click on something after I unlock my tn it opens the app no problem

I've tried many Roms and keep having the problem. Even tried different kernels and governors. I don't think it happened for the first week I had it.

You'll notice that it happens when your phone is plugged in. I don't know the reason for it, but I'm pretty sure it's a bug with the phone itself.

It happens even when it's not plugged in. Every time. It's not even a once in a while thing.

This also happens if you under clock very low with screen off. Then its slow to wake up, get notifications, and react.

I thought about that too. I don't have any profiles set and it still happens. Oh well. Thanks for the suggestion. If I can't figure it out I'll unroot and go exchange it.

Are using the sense launcher ?

I had tried sense, launcher, adw, adw ex, and launcher pro. All with the same problem. Somehow this morning its back to how it should be. I have no idea what I did.

Are you running a task killer, antivirus, or setcpu? If yes to any of them that could be causing your problem.

I removed setcpu, and lookout and restarted and it still wasn't better so I put them back on. But today its still better for the first time in a week. Only thing I did different was pull the battery. Hopefully it keeps working.

Random restarts.

I get 1-2 reboots a day. A couple lock ups happen too. Anyone else? Is it normal?

It's definitely not normal. Try wiping fresh and installing only necessary apps then test again. If the issue persists trade it in for a new Infuse.

My wife and I both get it on our two new Infuses. Mine pretty much happens when I am browsing... It will lock up vibrate a few times and basically reboot... Pretty frustrating... And I don't think wiping it clean will help since this happen on both of our phones

Hmm...interesting....
Are you all rooted? Changed any apps? Made any tweaks or all stock?
I've had my Infuse for a week now and it's been great....no reboots of any kind. No real bugs to complain about, though I have noticed it can lag quite a bit when looking at mms'.

The vibrating is force closing. sounds like an app to me. did you and your wife both in stall the same apps? try factory rest on just one to test. BEWARE. take your external SD out. the facotry reset, wipes that too.

Problem with restarts had been referred to SD cards. It is not always relevant, as such behaviour used to happen even on card-free phones. My problems started just after update to Mango, what made phone practically unusable.
I tried and seems succesfully solved problem in following way:
- connect phone to Zune
- click on phone, then settings
- choose RESERVED SPACE position
- change with slider from default 1% to 20%
- apply, disconnect
My phone, with Micro SD, stopped crazy behaviour, f.ex. during making photo, using apps. So far so good.
So maybe, either Samsung or MS had screwed up default settings of phone and use of ROM/RAM upon processes.
Solution can be applicable to Focus S and Omnia 7 too.
Good luck!

WTF...... ? No. Mod.. I think you should close this..

Phone turns off when I try to unlock?

I'm running GingerBeast right now and everyone once in a while(once or twice a day, some days it won't happen) when I hit the power button to get to the unlock screen, I'll see the softkeys light up for a second and then my phone turns off. I have to hit the power button again for my phone to boot up. I was using CM7 before I changed to GingerBeast and the same thing was happening. I've also tried different radios with and there was no difference.
Could this be a bad root? Should I delete everything and try again or what?

Wont help I get the same thing sometimes. Its weird, I think its a sequence that causes It. I noticed the last two times I was walking and holding it and swinging my arms. It vibrates sometimes when I do this and if I hit the wake button right after its reboots.

Have you tried any other ROMs before?

this happens to me sometimes on MIUI

Did any of u restore any system data or any apps + data using TiBu after u flashed whatever ROM u r using?
I would recommend flashing ROM CLEAN from scratch, and not restoring ANY info using TiBu, and using it for a day and see if the issue resurfaces.

yes diablo has a good point. Also, what is your setcpu set to on boot? This could cause instability if you clock high on boot.

Lol..yeah... phone + at a music show = retarded corrections.

I've noticed it almost never happens when I'm just sitting at home. I think it usually happens after I pull it out of my pocket and hit the wake button

this happened to me when i had a lockscreen widget installed i uninstalled and its fine now. dont know if your using a lockscreen widget or not but thats what was screwing mine up

Losing apps and settings when i reboot.

So i rooted with Odin and pushed the kernal and cwd through and the zip file for the sdcard fix. I have root but everytime i reboot my phone i lose all my apps and have to resign back into google, happens with any rom. Anyone know what im doing wrong here thanks.

A similar issue to me happened recently.
For me, I would keep getting notifications that "X application has stopped responding", and an option to force close. These kept stacking on each other, to the point where I could press "force close" and not receive any response from the phone for several minutes. I rebooted my phone, and the same thing kept happening. Eventually I got the "welcome to android" screen. The phone would randomly reset itself at this point.
My solution was to re-install the ROM I had on it, so maybe that would work for you? I ended up taking my phone back to Costco for a replacement, since I figured that my issue probably wasn't a sign of good things to come. You might want to try the same thing.

Cool thx for your reply.

[Q] Frequent force closes...lost cause? Help Please!

My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.

I would try this rom here.

Hey installed FBs Valhalla mod..all is well so far! Only thing is when she tries to unlock into messaging the phone kinda stutters, media scanner restarts and it says something like "ROM author is so lame he broke voodoo sound app"? Familiar to anyone? Other than that so far so good knock on wood.

For the voodoo sound bit go to settings, then applications, manage applications, find the voodoo app and click it clear data and then uninstall the voodoo sound app. Reboot the phone and reinstall from the play store.

You have to go in settings under tweaks and set the custom app to messenger. It will stop soft booting then.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA

It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.

Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.

Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!
