My touch screen stop working when I turn the phone upside down.. Not sure if this is the same problem.

Haven't had this happen. I've only had the auto rotate stop working.

Honestly that's a really great idea if it was a feature. Think about it no more accidental answer/deny when pulling it out of your pocket if you put it in upside down. And how often if ever is the phone used upside down. I'm calling for a patent on this one!

I have this issue.
I have this issue and it goes far beyond the keyboard. I will be playing fruit ninja and half the screen will be unresponsive. Its happening quite a bit and I am thinking about exchanging my phone.

Same here
I've been having the same problems but I think it has only happened to me when I use custom ROMs such as Cyanogenmod or Coredroid. When I went back to stock I don't remember it happening.
I was running Coredroid V8.1 a few weeks ago and didn't like it because the font looked terrible but I think the keyboard didn't give that problem, it was with an older version of CD. Right now I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0 and it happens a lot and gets annoying. I now for a fact that is not hardware since the keyboard will work normally on landscape and other stuff will respond to the touchscreen.
Still trying to see if there is some sort of fix or to use a new keyboard. Installed GO keyboard and same thing happened, now using Swiftkey X and it happened also but now I took the protective case to see if that has something to do with it LOL.

edit: disregard.

ive had this problem also for awhile. i dont remember having it on the factory rom, but that was awhile back also. ive had it on every custom rom that i can think of. i used coredroid and cm7 for awhile. right now im using miui. ive tried 3-4 different keyboard at least, and had this problem with all of them. the keyboards accuracy also seems to decline. when switching to a new keyboard the problem initially goes away, but it eventually starts doing it again with the different keyboard.

I would try come non CM based roms as I have seen this come up a few times and the omr thing most have in common is that it shows up on CM based roms like MIUI. I have never had this issue on any sense based rom so that would lead me to think like wifi and Bluetooth that it is due to the non OEM drivers CM uses.

Coreddroid is a sense rom, and I had it back then. I've been using absolution, which is cm7 based, and have not since had the problem. The problem has also been reported to occur on non rooted, stock phones.

[Q] Touchscreen issue & need help asap

So I recently purchased the NS. I have one problem though: the very right side of the screen (0.5 cm from the end of the screen) the touchscreen is very unresponsive. Sometimes it responds sometimes it doesn't. On my previous phone (LG Optimus 2x) when running CM7 there was the same glitch. The very left side on my NS it's very responsive. I'm running stock 2.3.6 . What is my problem?
Thanks

U just got the phone and having all Stock with that issue, if I was u, I would use the warranty to solve that imediatly (or u can try to upgrade to newer ROM to see if that's a software prob.)
cheers

wipe the screen down with some alcohol to be sure

Don't do this, you'll risk prematurely eating your oleophobic coat. I'd find some touchscreen testing app first, and if the problem persists go to samsung.

Ok, I updated to 2.3.6 and the touchscreen is a bit better. Maybe that's just my impression. Are you sure none of you have this problem? hmm. So should I send it to Samsung for repair?

I haven't had this problem at all, my phones touchscreen is flawless everywhere. I would first talk to samsung and hope you don't get someone incompetent, then send it in if need be.

OH man. I don't want to be phoneless for a month though However I do have a year warranty and I only purchased the phone 3 days ago so I can wait and see if it get's worse before returning it for repair. It really doesn't bother me for now since I never touch the last 3 mm of the screen anyways.

Ics 4.04 hopefully to us too

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/galaxy-nexus-gets-ics-4-0-4-update/

We'll most likely get it once the sources are updated to 4.0.4. It looks like a lot of things have changed in this build too. Maybe performance will increase on our phones?

ok guys its here Whitehawkx AOKP 29 is android 4.0.4 maybe its just me but it seems a lot smoother

I just like the fact that multitouch was updated in it for the keyboard issues I was having... Typing drunk on CM9 was messing with everything I needed lol.

Anyone know when the OTA will be out
Been trying different ROMs but then my phone started random rebooting even when I put it back to completely stock and re-locked it. So, I sent it in for replacement. Now my replacement phone at the top of the screen used to say "T-mobile" but now just reads "LG" on the glass. I guess the later phones were no longer branded T-mobile.
One thing I noticed though is when I put in a ROM that worked flawlessly on my old phone it would cause the replacement to have random reboots, force close, and just plain lock up where I would be required to remove/replace the battery to get it to work again. Any ideas or suggestions??? I have only been able to run the stock GB rom successfully.
Any ideas on what the phones issue may be?? Or maybe when the OTA for a stock ICS will be available?
Thanks,

1. why are you posting in this thread?
2. some roms/kernels are undervolted, if your phone cant handle it youll get random reboots.
3. nobody knows when ICS will get here, NOBODY. if anyone says they know when it will get here, they are lying. there are no exceptions, EVER!

Loving all the improvements that come with this update. I just installed AOKP build 31 and have had zero issues thus far. Just one thing missing...can't hangout in G+ and we know whose fault that is. Nvidia

Problem With Proximity Sensor/Screen Freeze

Hi,
I have a strange but a small problem with my phone.
Its with the proximity sensor and screen freeze.
The problem is that when i make a call, put the phone near my ear the screen goes off (Which is normal). But when i hang up the call, screen never comes back to life. Its total black... and when i tried calling to the phone....... it WORKS.....but then again the screen is total black. it doesn't comes back to life.....
I tried pressing the home button....No Luck.
Tried pressing the power button....No Luck.
All that i could notice is a red light in the proximity sensor. That's it.
I am on a stock ROM 2.3.5, Indian Firmware. No Root, No Custom ROM.
I started facing this issue after i gt this phone from SSC for motherboard replacement. Before it, i had used it for a month, it worked far well.
Moreover this issue occurs on a very random basis, like 4-5days once.
All i could do is plug the battery out and plug in.
The below posted link also the same problem, but with no solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195858

Try doing a factory reset.
If that doesn't work, reflash your firmware.

And that is why i dont like factory reset, I will again have to install all my apps and other stuff all over again...!!!

I used to have that problem in the stock Indian rom too.. But it went away since I upgraded to stock 2.3.6 xwla4 austria rom. I've rooted and flashed titanium and still no problem, so I think it's a rom fault.

Ok people...
But when i had bought this fone, i used it for a month, i never witnessed such prob.
Its nly after the motherboard replacement.
So it makes me think, whether other parts of fone are manipulated or watever....
If its a software glitch, not a issue. it shldnt b a hardware issue.....!!!

Doesn't seem like a hardware issue. Hardware problems are generally more consistent.

I too have started facing this problem started since a month back but appears randomly. It might have happened around three to four times by now. I am on stock rom 2.3.5 too.

Even i had the same problem. But never appeared again after a factory reset. Maybe ICS update can fix every bugs.

I have exactly the same issue, moving to xwla4(Titanium) didn't solve it but haven't experienced any freezes since I moved to zcla1(glx-r rom). Its still early stages though, I switched just 8-9 days back, keeping my fingers crossed
However, I would like to share my findings
1. The phone restarts on looooong press power button(10 sec appx), so no need to take out the battery (At least it worked for me)
2. Its not just Galaxy-R, the problem occurs with many phones, especially on Custome kernels/Roms. It can most likely be configured by Proximity sensor calibration in the kernel. See this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858
But the application posted here doesnt work on our kernel right now, not for me atleast. Maybe ardatdat can help us out with kernel changes for proximity sensor recalibration in his next release.

PLz Help my phone behaving abnormally

Hello guys...strange things are going on in my phone from last 2 months..at first it used to react as if the back softkey is prseed..it used to bring me back to home screen through all screens i passed to open a app (like setting->wireless and..->internet seting..->apn..)and reversly it sent me back to home without letting me to change any data.....then it used to act as if the option/search soft key is pressed..like if the home screen is not altered for 5 sec..the google search option opens...many times pressing home key took a screen shot...and my touch screen started to be unresponsive...firstly i could use my for but sometimes the screen remained unresponsive which could be fixed by pressing power button and locking the screen agin..then it used to response...now a days the phone hardly responces 2-5 times a day and accepts only one selection(like i may open app drawer but cant se;ect any app its frozen or open the phone app but no number could be pressed..its frozen)
i have flashed almost every rom but none fix the problem...recovery mode key test does not detect my 2 soft keys..
...samsung care is verry laggy here ..and irresponsible..last time they took my samsung j 150 and returned it after 3 months with a new defect of speaker blown and a huge billl..
plz help me... thank you

On my device, if I put the phone in my pocket with the screen facing my thigh, i tend to sweat a bit in long pants and thus the phone gets some sweat on the screen. After wiping it off, the phone would not be very responsive. I would pull everything out and leave for a while, I assume water had gone in, then it worked. So is something similar happening?

First of all..THANKS for your reply..yes..u r very right..even in early days(near abt 3 months..when problem started) the phone used to be more unresponsive after taking it out of my pocket..but pulling off didnt fix anything..a funny fact (may be logical due to drynesss) is keeping the phone in a.c room makes it work for a while(not the soft keys..every thing else)..so your guess is right..but pulling out all didnt help me..

Then your problem may not be the same. Maybe a hairdryer will do. If it still doesn't work then maybe it's your touch panel. My phone works perfectly at home

Me too think that its not the touch sceen..but something due to the softkeys...i have been observing my phone from the first day of fault...but may be the touch panel is faulty...not sure..any way thanx for your active responce...

I think you should clean up your phone and then cover the gaps between the glass and the chrome colored plastic design.
Try it?

This can happen also due to bad flash or kernel malfunction...due to wifi panic
Try flashing zero fill tar and flash fresh rom.

Deep sleep kernel panic makes the phone unresponsive when exposed to some heat and moisture... generally a clean flash would solve the problem...
zero fill is a tar file that helps clean the system by removing all the previous system data..just flash any rom after flashing zero fill.tar normally.
also you have to take care that screen stays out of sweat(moisture)

sorry,tried your advice...but no luck...thanx anyway....(i dunno why the touch buttons not working???i am sure they are the culprits..)

Unconventional, but if you wanna check the softkeys you could open up the phone (it's really easy if you use a guitar pick) and disconnect the buttons. Phone should still boot. If the behaviour is better, you could swap the softkeys for a replacement and problem solved. I take no responsibility for this. I myself have changed some electrical parts including the display, but I cannot say for sure that the phone boots without the softkeys connected without taking permanent damage. But you sound like it can only get better^^
