youtube.com/watch?v=LL_kubZ4ENc
Have anybody else had this issue with their touchscreen? I have tried to factory reset the phone. Go back to stock rom lock the bootloader, and unroot. But the problem still appear. Also tried to clean the screen and only charge it with the original charger. Nothing helps I have tried to send questions to samsung but no answers.
Have anyone here had similar issues and found a fix?

I have the same issue, only the position is different. Have you worked out a solution? Or still waiting for it? Anyone?
Im on Miui with matrix cfs 5.5 (9023)

huh, if anyone have this problem... I really tried almost everything that came to my mind or sparetime, but installing a 2.3.5 based rom solved the problem even with miui it works just fine

I have this problem also, im on CM7 nightly. cant unlock the screen. Phones barely 3 days old

Had that same problem, and it's gone now. Don't know what did fix it, but I flashed new radio and Trinity kernel, and the problem is gone now...

I thought with the 2.3.5 the problem was solved, but its back now... dunno what it is, my phone is 2 weeks old.

I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock, not rooted or in any way modified Nexus S I9023 (SCLCD version) with Android 2.3.6
Also the settings button is right under the line (so the location is different from the video) and it is unresponsive as well.
Does anybody have any idea what to do about this???

Screen turns blurry after cyanogen ROM - Plz Help

Hey guys, ran into a problem, I was able to root mytouch 3g and installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633 3.6.8 release 4. Problem is when the phone goes sleepmode (screen turns black) after you wake it up the screen turns fuzzy/blurry. Is there an easy solution to this problem? or should I install a different ROM? Any suggestions? I really like this rom besides the blurry screen issue.
thanks for any help!
Hey same thing is happening to me...I wiped and reflashed but still having the problem
This is a problem many of us has encountered, I don't know why, try other ROM's I have found 1 that works for me.
I think it's a issue with the refresh rate of the screen.
Ditto. I have this problem as well with Cyanogen v4.0.1.
I've done the customary wipe prior to installing the ROM but the problem is the same.
This is the ROM I am using at the moment with no blurry screen problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549755
i'm not using cyanogen but i am experiencing this issue with ZeroXd's Casper-4.2r2. i'm going to wipe the phone again and start over. So far, the Casper ROM is the only one that won't work for me and it was working well too
I'm having the same issue, but have ONLY noticed it with HERO-based roms. The Cyanogen 4.0.1 rom looked/worked fine.
Interested in the "fix" here...
Screen turns blurry
I am having the same issue but ONLY with the Hero roms. Cyanogen's new 4.xx roms are the frackin bomb so I'm not too sad. They work great for me. Definately want to know how to fix the issue though.
alot of ppl have this problem most of hero roms there is no fix yet sucks i know

what fix >?
Just experienced it for the first time after installing Drizzy's NoName V3. Have installed 10-15 roms prior and never experienced it until now. Trying out another Hero rom at the moment, will let ya know.
Update: QTek's rom seem's to work alright for me without the blur.
format sd card
seems to fix the problem....at least it did for me...

The v3 noname I tried was on a newly partitioned/formatted sd card. :-\ QTek's is still going strong though. With the v3, after the first sleep it was blurry. I've been running QTek's for about 30-45 minutes now and no issues.
+1 to this issue. i had the same problem with some cyanogen ports in the sapphire thread, but using new cyan roms has not given me any issues. also noted that formatting does not help.
possibly an issue with engineering SPL?
i also noticed that a rom would flash fine, but as soon as my screen would lock thats when the issue would occur.
i wonder if it is a kernel / spl incompatibility. I had this same issue with JACxROM that runs great on and ION and is bassically the same phone. So I am a little confused. I am going to try and use Cyanogens newest 4.0.1 build and copy the boot.img to a JACxROM v1.3 and see if it does the same thing or not. Will report back to let you know what happened.
I have tried to use following HERO ROMs but they all turns blurry after sleep mode (when I unlock screen by pressing menu or similar button)
Champion v2, Fullv2 No Name, Superlite Hero etc.

Is this possibly *part* of the issue here? I'm using the "1 click" root method as well. Also, my SD card does have the proper 3 partitions, if that means anything.
Just installed the JACxHEROskiv1.4 ROM, which does not appear to exhibit this behavior. Nice ROM so far!

I used the gold card method to root and I am experiencing the same thing with all the HERO roms. When you try to reinstall Cyanogens ROM's afterwards you experience the same thing. Only way I found to fix it was to format the SD card.
:/
We really need a fix for this. I am dying to use some Hero ROM's.
Well I fixed mine, I clean wiped everything and installed the cyanogen 4.0.1 rom. All is good now. I haven't messed with Hero, but I am liking the new cyanogen rom and he fixed the screen problem as well.

how did you go about clean wiping everything? I went ahead and bought a brand new sd card just to see if a fresh sd card cures it as well.

Dont know if this will help but this is a common problem with htc's. There are 2 pins in the usb port that get shorted out with gunk,rust, or whatever. I use a pick, some contact cleaner and some fine cloth to clean the pins. I also use compressed air to blow it out. This has happened to a ton of my friends evo's and both of my inspires. Its annoying as hell I know. Hope this helps, good luck

Thanks for the answer but unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem
I also have this same issue... Works fine no problems on stock unrooted. But once I root I get this same problem.. I have had this same issue in the past but never only on a rooted phone.. I have also been on a rooted ROM for a long time and this issue popped up last week.. Now I am stuck with stock until I can figure this out.

UPDATE: I have the stock ROM but rooted and it works well, however if i install another ROM the problem starts again, I install cyanogenmod and found out what is causing the problem, the car dock mode is automatically turning on, also the car dock apk from other ROMS are newer than the car dock apk from the stock ROM
I was able to disable Cardock in Virtuous Unity but still got the speaker phone issue... I guess HTC fixed this issue in the newest Inspire Rom because of all the phones returned because of it, but those fixes haven't been implemented in community roms.. That's the only explanation I can come up with.
UPDATE: I installed the stock ROM rooted and was working well, but when i changed the kernel the problem was back.

Glad you were able to find the issue. I would let the kernel Dev know about it.

System UI has failed!!!

I'm running miui 2.9.14 and i always lose my status bar and the ability to answer calls when i get the message "unfortunately system ui has stopped working" and once that happens i am forced to wipe and then reflash because thats the only fix i know which is so frustrating setting everything up again just because of the problem. is it because im flashing gapps, could that cause the problem, or is it a system problem? serached through so many forms and all they say is to wipe dalvik and cache and when i do that it happens again! Please someone help me
Have you tried posting on the miui site ? I'm not familiar with that Rom but it could be a sort of "bug". You can post on the Rom site and see if others are experiencing the same issue. If they are, perhaps they likely know of a fix for this issue.?? Wish I could be of more help but I don't know much about that particular Rom. On the miui site they sould be able to direct you towards a solution . Best of luck to you!

Multitouch issue

Hello everybody!
There's something strange happening on my P5110. Here's the thing... when I use the tablet with one finger, everything moves as smooth as I expect... but when I try to use the pinch to zoom or just the multitouch (2 or more fingers) it may become less responsive and less smooth at the scrolling. The way to fix that is by shutting down the screen and turning it on again (I presume that it's a software issue). I use the stock 4.1.2 rom and I tried with factory reset and by searching the web, with no success. Any ideas?
I hope that someone could help me out with this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Barktooth ,
I had the same problem with my P5110. I was on stock 4.03 DBT and after the update to 4.1.1 Btu I had the same issue with pinch zoom like you.
I tried everything .. flashing other stock versions, resetting and so on. But the problem stayed. Then i sent it to samsung. They reinstalled the stock 4.03 DBT version. But the Problem wasn't solved. I sent it again to samsung with a video to show them the issue. Now they solved the problem by changing the motherboard. I'm now on stock 4.03 with a new motherboard and without any issue. I think you have to send it to a samsung service center. Did the problem appear after flashing a stock rom?

Hi fredy66!
Thanks a lot for the answer. It was exactly the same for me. The issue appeared after flashing the 4.1.2 stock firmware... and is staying even if I flash another firmware or by hard resetting my device. I have far mor problems though... I don't know if there's any Samsung service center around my city and my warranty is gone. I'll try to find one.
Thanks again for the answer!... I thought it was a software issue... but now it is a hardware issue =(.

Hi Barktooth,
This is really strange. Maybe it's a software problem and the service center only couldn't solve it by flashing the normal stock firmware. It's possible that some p5110 needs a special driver because of a problem with the touch controller on some motherboards. Did you update the tablet with kies or by ota? I flashed my p5110 with odin. Have you tried cm? I'm now afraid of flashing again.

Hello fredy66!
I flashed the 4.1.2 stock firmware via odin too. I tried reflashing another version without luck. I'm gonna try with the 4.2.2 stock firmware and see if that solves the problem. It's really strange... I had a Galaxy S for a long time and flashed it like there was no tomorrow... nothing happened to that device... it works flawlessly even now. That's why I thought it was a software issue... but it seems that just a few of us had the bad luck =(.
I'll try the 4.2.2 and if it solves the problem, then I'll tell you through this topic
Thanks again for your time!

[Q] Crazy insane inverted touchscreen issue

crazy touchscreen problem
After flashing a ROM my touchscreen x axis seems to have inverted itself, so right is left on the screen.
This problem happens during the recovery screen also
I have tried changing recovery's,Kernals,flashed ROM's that I know work
I have even returned the phone back to stock nothing fixed it.
I have even went as far as removing the motherboard and installing one out of a working phone and guess what it does the same thing.
So i ask all you knowledgeable people WTF wold cause this and how can I fix it ?
these are the last two ROM's I was trying out when all this happened
they both ran without a problem I just didn't like them
MokeeOS 44.2 24/12/2013 [UNOFFICIAL],
UNOFFICIAL AOKP][4.4.2] [S4] [12/26/13]
I'm in no way blaming the ROM developers for this issue I just need a little help
Strange problem. I think you should flash firmware, it is worth to try i guess
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
mines actually doing the same, and from what i've been reading, i believe it has to do with your hboot version and ics not being compatible with it. try flashing your original ruu if you can. that's what i'm trying to do as we speak. if i ever get my problem figured out, i'll let you know if it works.

This was my test phone I had flashed just about everything you can think of before I would install it on the phone I use every day
I guess my luck ran out
I ended up flashing the phone back to the original firmware and OS version using the factory RUU without a problem
If I try to install anything over 4.04 it goes right back to the same crap
I tried different firmware, kernels, roms with sense/ no sense doesn't matter.
the phone is being sold as I type this and I'm leaving my other two One S phones alone for now on
Nobody should have to go through this much bull for newer OS version so I'm saving for a Nexus 5
Thank you for the suggestion
