[Help Needed from Devs]Toushscreen Auto Press

Mod, please delete this thread after i get a solution from developers.
My defy's touchscreen gets pressed automatically not every time but very frequently. I thought its a hardware problem but googling has suggested me that many others have this problem so it can be a software problem. I m new to defy so don't know if this problem has got any solution. I m on indian firmware 2.2.2
Sorry for asking this in the developement thread. I posted it here to bring the attention of the developers as many developers hardly go through the general section. I thought it can help others too.
*devs please dont mind and help me.

Simply, if I wake up the screen of my Froyo 2.2 Defy, sometimes it seems that the touchscreen sense touches without to touch it. That's a problem with touch buttons.

This happens to my Defy when the screen or my fingers are wet

Yes, the issue is like the users have water drops on screen or wet fingers but in this case the display is dry.

this is a hardware problem. not software.

isn't it strange for a water resistant handset.
I think i m getting sum hint why this is happening. Tell me if there is any way to lower the touchscreen sensor. Motorola says there is no way to do it currently.

Try disable the in-pocket detection and also disable overclock too. Uninstall multitouch too if you have it running.

Thanx bro. But i m facing the above situation in office only where the AC runs on very lower temperature around 20°
I have flashed cm7 yesterday. Lets see if i face the problen again when i go to my office.
If anybody can tell me how to lower the touch sensitivity, i will b very thankful to him.

Lowering touch sensitivity won't do the job. I remembered my last xperia x10mini pro had this issue and it was caused by my phone pouch strong magnetic that messed up the screen touch senses. Put it away from strong magnet solved my case.

yep! The problem is dirt on touchscreen... usually from greasy fingers or water drops!
I solved this problem by using matte screen protector!

Motorolla strongly reccomends to not use any screen protector. However i will still try this.
The thing that is worrying me is only it happens in my office and nowhere else. As soon as it comes in lower temperature (in office), it starts happening.

[Q] Phone's softkeys are not working at all

My Phone's softkeys are not working at all. It glows but dont work.
Touchscreen is also not working, Everytime I had to lock screen by power button then after unlocking the touchscreen works for 2-3 touches....then again I had to lock screen.
I tried to flash MIUI 5.6, ICS CM9 v6, v7 but same issue.
Now flashed the Stock DDKP3, but issue still persists.
Plz Help me If someone can.....Pleaseeee !!!

I guess there is some fault in the touchscreen.. A hardware issue.. Better show it in Samsung service center.. I don't think there can be a software prob as u have tried all ROM's..
Sent from my fingers to your face using xda premium.!

Have the same issue with my phone!
tried flashing different ROMs aswel..
I guess its a hardware issue! going to change the touch panel and see how it works out!!

It is a hardware issue. I had the same. The service center guys changed the touch panel. Now everything fine.

Wow, another user with the same issue.
Mine is just a wild guess that kernel 2.6.x may be a cause of the problem. ie after shifting to ICS.
Im waiting for kernel 3.0 before visiting service center. Gonna cost Rs.5K man.

i wasnt on ICS..
had stock rom with cf-root, deodexed, and a few mods!!
check out ebay for the touch panel! its there for about $28, im thinking of getting one down!

Opening the device will void your warranty completely.
There's a high chance that you ruin something else in the process, phone hardware is very delicate, so i suggest letting a professional do it..

Look at this post.
There also it is mentioned that trying differenet kernels for CM9 may damage the Touchkeys.
Anyhow......I also had to visit Service center, but after Flashing Stock DDKP3 I regained my warranty, so It saved me my 5k as you told.

WRONG again, it doesn't affect the touch keys hardware wise, it may just affect how it works for that kernel and ROM only, not the hardware, what he changed there is that touch keys only light up according to ambient light, while other kernels don't use that so it just messes that up.
CM9 has nothing to do with ruining your touch keys, it's a hardware issue, stop playing smart with it, only way to fix it is the good ol' service center haha

I had the same problem...soft keys not working...tried many roms but no use...
I am from kerala .a place In south india...I took it to a shop in penta meneka ..they said the display is fine..the small touch sensitive strip beneth the soft keys need to be changed..its worth just 500 rupees.....the moment I heard it I felt relaxed coz changing the slcd display is not an option for me....
If any of you have the same problem ..take the phone to a local mobile service store..
Today I will check the cost with orginal samsung customer care and service shop.lets hope they will change the strip and not the display...

Service center if under warranty (free), other shops if not for a cheap alternative.

Hi ,
I am facing the same problem, In my case touch screen is working fine. Problem is only with touch key. I have also bought this phone from Penta Meneka. What people at Samsung service centre told you about this? Is you problem is resolved? Please reply

Hey, i just replaced my touchscreen and digitizer.. and the soft key prob still insists, i studied it and i have came to a conclusion that the KEYPAD FLEX CABLE might be broken. Luckily, the flex cable costs around $20
I just wasted $83 on my new touchscreen tsk

hi guys. my touch screen and soft keys doesnt work too. but in xxkpe rom, they works perfectly. but any 2.3.6 roms doesnt work. try xxkpe(2.3.4) rom then if it doesnt work, go to service center.

Screen problems and a few doubts.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea

Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?

I`am running 4.4.2 and not rooted and i don`t have that issue. Are you rooted and running stock or custom rom, running mods like xposed framework, running a custom kernel and/or recovery? Info please

ya i am rooted and i m in stock rom only,but using Franco kernal(R32).Xposed framework i m using gravitybox(KK).I have CWM recovery.
What is causing this problem any idea??
N thanks for ur reply.

Look in the Xposed and/or Franco kernel thread for a similar issue like yours, there may be a fix posted. Last resort is to flash a stock image in fastboot and that will probably fix your problem.

When asking for assistance it's best to provide as much information as possible. As it stands I have no idea what you're referring to, and I think it's safe to assume most people won't either.

Ok i will search in there threads.Hope there is some fix posted

Hi,
But what is "this proximity sensor( during call) bug" you are referring? Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about, I never had noticed a bug or anything else with the proximity sensor during call
Like _MetalHead_ said if you want help describe the problem...

Ok fine i will keep that in mind, next time if i post any questions.

For the next time ok, but for now (in this thread here) you can't describe/explain the problem???

There is video on youtube regarding this.i cant post it in here so.
Anywaz the issue is when i m in call,
Steps
1)Call a number
2)Screen goes off.
if i try to make the screen on(to end the all or anything) i have to press 4-5 times power button which also happens by luck to make the screen on.
Also when in call (screen is off),if i try to do something in the status bar.Like if i touch near status bar(in call screen off),when the call ends u can see the status bar was active even if the screen was off.
Hope i m understandable.

i have posted the description of the issue just now .

Historically, this was usually down to a crap screen protector blocking the sensors. OP - are you using an SP?

Ya i m using Sceen protector,but this issue is for poeple who r not using SP also ,in other forums i have seen the same issue.

Only happens to me in the dark.

touch control
I have the same problem, during call the screen go black like it shuld be ,but its stilk active so if you tuch it it still responsive as if its on, i found thet if i disable touch control the problem goes away...

exactly the same for me!!! (except R33)

Same issue on mine, and I don't use a case or screen protector. It's annoying because I have to enter a passcode to check my voicemail, but the screen stays black when I move the phone away from my head. Putting it on speaker seems to fix the issue, but I don't always want my phone calls broadcast to everyone around me.

Phone automatically shuts down

Hi friends, there is a problem in my canvas 2 a110...whenever the battery percentage falls below 50% the phone automatically turns off without any warning. I have to remove the battery and insert it 2-3 times to power on the phone.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem and how much will it cost to repair....?
