[Q] Galaxy Tab 8.9 Touch Screen not responding

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and hope I'm posting in the right place.
I recently got a new GT 8.9 P7300. I updated the firmware with update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-p5-KANG-signed-20120227.zip that I found on this site.
I have to admit, I did not follow the steps as I should have, so not sure if that may have caused this problem.
Anyway, after the update, my tablet just hanged when it starts up where it says "Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9".
Eventually got it working again by loading stock rom. So it starts up and continues to where I can select my language, but the touch screen doesn't respond at all.
I tried different roms after that, all with the same result.
Currently I'm running Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][beta 1.5.1]
Any idea what I can do?
Can it be that I screwed up the touch screen drivers? If so, any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
I really do like the work you guys have been doing, the Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][beta 1.5.1] rom looks amazing on a friends Tab!

I've done the same, flashed cm9 and nos my touch screen is unresponsive. Totally unusable. Any solution would be highly appreciated. I've reverted to a nandroid backup of stock HC, but the problem remains.

One more unresponsive screen over here and that right after flashing CWM.

Same problem here, checked out a place on google maps, put tab down, 2min later turned it back on and the touchscreen didn't work. Running stock Telstra AU rom, not rooted. Used a USB OTG adapter to unlock it, backup my files and restore to factory defaults, and the problem still persists. Tab is 3 weeks old taking it back tomorrow. Would like to know if this is a common or known problem.

Mine is unresponsive as well! I've only had it for 2 months. I have CM9 on it now but I am flashing stock as soon as it finishes download.

Hi.
Was just wondering if anyone got their screens working again. I have the same problem.

[ROM][CM10] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies Topic

I have not seen a thread for CM10 yet. I know Steve has posted for some other devices, but not for the N7, so I figure might as well have one until a maintainer starts one. I am not a developer or a part of the CM team, I just feel a need for a thread for people to post questions, comments, answers, etc for this ROM.

Has anyone had any soft-reboots? I have one occasionally (happened twice now) I was never near a computer so I couldn't pull a logcat.

On 9/6 with no problems. Thanks for the thread!

Thanks for your work!

No soft reboots here. Everything working fine.
If anyone is interested in getting the tablet UI then you should check out this patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31244515&postcount=534

Running 09/07 no reboots here. Must have been a bug with the build I was on, I stayed at the second nightly for a while
Is it just me or did they take the nightlies off ROM manager?

Had a soft reboot some nightlies ago, that's all.
The only annoying bug I found is with the wifi. If I set it to never sleep, the battery drains relatively fast. If I set it to sleep when the screen is turned off, sometimes when I turn back on the screen the wifi "hangs" in "searching for wifi networks". The only solution then is reboot.
Other than that, it's been great.

cm-10-20120909-EXPERIMENTAL-grouper-burnsra.zip is unbootable for me, it just loads CM bootanimation forever. I can't get into recovery to restore backup either :/ probably have to get on a computer with ADB.
edit: nvm just got into recovery. We're good. Don't try running 09/09 people!

Any idea why on any cm10 builds my instant uploads/picasa web albums don't show up in my gallery?

0909 is bootable, but from what I can tell it needs a full data wipe before it'll boot properly. Not sure what got changed, but it's experimental for sure!

thats what i was wondering. I think the trebuchet port has to be finished, as I don't see an option for transition animations. Temporary workaround is to use a different launcher, although I would prefer not, so I wait for it to be finished

There's even a newer one than that.
http://goo.im/devs/projectfnv/gapps/0831
There is a PicSync version and a non-PicSync version. As of now, you have to chose between PicSync (Picasa Web Albums) and the CM customized camera. Obviously, on the Nexus 7, we're not missing out on much by foregoing the CM camera.
There's more info about the updated gapps packages here:

Damnit Jeep, for a second I thought I was browsing in the HOX forums
Use the updated GApps with Pic Sync. I've had zero problems with those compared to the problems with the older Gapps.

Is this normal?

I am currently running Jellybean on my galaxy tab. I am using this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885878 Everytime I turn on my tablet I get a weird screen with lots of different colored lines. I have a picture and a video of it. Hopefully I can upload both, but if not you will be able to see what it is doing in the picture. Does anyone have any thoughts on to what may have caused this? And if so, maybe somethings to try and fix it? It just really bothers me and makes me wonder if I have a defective tablet..

It is normal. Once Samsung officially releases JB I would guess that you will not see that screen.
:fingers-crossed:

Okay. I was just making sure. I didnt see anything about it on the first page of that rom so I was curious.

That doesn't look normal. I recommend you flash back to stock Android 4.0 in Odin and down load all updates it needs. The offficial rom should be getting Jelly Bean soon, probably this month.

I also have 3113 but this no ....

I don't think that is normal. I have the GT-P3113 and have flashed mutliple ROM including CM10 and AOKP AOKP being my favorite). I have not run into that issue before. I would say, make sure you have the last Recovery, but I have not used the Rom you are flashing though, so it could be the ROM. I would say...try to flash another ROM like AOKP and see if still is an issue. If it is I am going to say it has something to do with the Tablet or something went wrong in rooting or flashing.

It is normal for the pre-released stock Samsung JB ROM or variants of this ROM (RomsWell). Sheez.
I think we should have another button besides "THANKS" like "I don't know what I am talking about, but I like to answer questions" LOL

Use triangle away app, flash stock, then see if defect still found return !!!

[Q] drivers?

I have a Craig cmp745e and have rooted it and installed cwm. I have found a custom ROM that loads and runs quite nice, the only problem is my touchscreen doesn't work. My question is there a way to get the drivers for my screen off my tablet and make them work with a different rom?

This symptom is exhibited if you flash the wrong kernel for your device, thereby making the touchscreen not to respond. However the hardware buttons might respond. Flash the right kernel for your device.:good:

I'm pretty sure I got the right kernel, I found that the screen works its just off by several inches. I used the stock kernel posted somewhere on here. Before I used the stock kernel I couldn't even get it to load so I think its the right kernel.

Since you are on stock kernel and have found that the screen works then this won't be a kernel problem.:good:

This might be due to a wrong dpi setting of the rom that doesn't match your device's display hardware . You can use an app that changes the dpi setting back to its stock value. Since it is a custom rom, maybe it might have an option to change the dpi in settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since it is off by several inches, it might be difficult to use an app to change the dpi. Its better to edit the rom package zip using a computer to change the dpi back to stock value and again flash this modified zip in CWM.
Follow these steps to edit the custom rom zip file
1. Copy the zip file to the computer and open it using winrar (no need to extract)
2. Navigate to System folder
3. Open the file name build.prop using notepad.
4. Scroll down and under 'Additional_build_properties' look for the line ro.sf.lcd_density = xxx
Replace xxx with stock value and save it.
5. Save the zip for the changes made to be merged.
6. Transfer it to your sd card and flash it.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks! I can't wait to try it. The wireless keyboard I have works great so I'll try to set it from the device.. ..do you think an LCD density app would help of there is no option within the rom?

A wrong dpi setting makes the displayed objects to appear shifted and not all objects will be visible. Hence ensure that you have the stock dpi value.

I tried it with a LCD density app, no matter what I set it to the touch was way off and always by the same amount. I could see the coins and keyboard change size but the screen was off by the same amount each time.

This might be a bug in the custom rom you have used. Ckeck to see if this is a known issue from the site you have downloaded the rom. Perhaps they might provide a fix or an update.

Have you found any solution yet? Im having the same problem with the screen being off by several inches even with the stock image from the craig website flashed back on it.
same with me it started after i flashed the kernal from the craig website.

I never flashed the kernel from the Craig website. I used a rom I had found here. Before I flashed a new rom I used the online nandroid backup app. After I flashed the new rom had the same screen problems. The cwm recovery was installed with the rom and with the help of a cheap wireless keyboard I was able to use my nandroid backup to restore my backup. After it was restored my tab was working fine and I have cwm. Now I'm just trying different things hoping to find a cm rom that will work.

you should have "focal" as your camera app, but you can also just flash a stock ROM that has root so everything is back to its familiar setup and apps.

Hi guys, i have exactly the same problem. I have a 3110 and i decided to move from cm 10.1.3 to cm11. I performed the data wipe/factory reset with the latest version of twrp, installed the rom, installed the gapps package and everything seems to work fine except for the camera. There is no app at the drawer, i can not install google camera from the playstore, and the apps that i installed either in apk or zip form do not work. Some crash, camera zoom fx doesnt have the option to take picture and some other apps throw an error message about "can not find the hardware camera" and staff like this. Can someone help me plz?

then it must be an issue in the ROM itself.
either a bad download or an bug in the system.
inquire in the specific rom thread to address the problem and if you have time Google "log cat android" and make a log when you try to open the app.

@tokenpoke its indeed a bug in the system, camera is broken at cm 11atm, you need to apply a fix. The solution can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53381666&postcount=2909 , thnx goes to @webdroidmt for pointing that out.

i have tried the thread stated in this forum where i also found many having such issues, but the remedy just didn't work out for me.
I guess i will have to re-root it again.

no need to reroot if you've installed a custom recovery.
most ROMs are already rooted and there is an option when booting your system from recovery that injects root into nonrooted roms
