I have had no major problems with my Inspire 4G while on Inspire 4G ROMs (well... Stock, rooted stock, and Inspired Ace which is customized for the inspire.) On every DHD ROM I have installed, there seems to be a problem with touch input. When typing emails, searches, SMS, and other things random keys will just stop working! Sometimes I can tap them repeatedly and fix it while others you have to exit whatever app you are in and open it back up. It gets really annoying.
I am currently on CoreDroid, but have had this problem with TB Fusion, RCMixHD, and RCMix3D as well. Since Inspired Ace worked fine I tried flashing its HTC_IME.apk to see if this fixed the problem. It didn't. I seem to be the only one with these problems on the Inspire. Has anyone else noticed? Does anyone have any suggestions for what could cause these issues?
(Yes, I am aware of the problems flashing ime packages from other ROMs can cause, I was just trying to see if it fixed the problem. I had to backup zip ready to flash in case it caused FC problems...)
Thanks in advance guys!
I'm using leedroid and I have the same problems of random keys not working at random times.

It's a driver issue with inspires iirc. No fix

Wait so there is no possibility of ripping the drivers from stock and flashing or getting a kernel with them? And how come it worked on Inspired Ace? Did gtg465x get the driver issue fixed? Not trying to sound angry there just a bit perplexed since IA was dhd based....

Might be hardware than, I do remember it being brought up and it's unfixable.. I've had it happen on factory stock plenty of times. I just change my screen to horizontal and fixes it.

Hmm... Well mine never did that. Only failed to rotate a few times due to a few malfunctioning third party apps... If i find a fix I will post it.
I've had this as well and thought that maybe it was Better Keyboard having an issue with either the Inspire in general, or CoreDroid. So this is happening to others using the stock keyboard. Glad it's not just me.

No you aren't alone... I consulted gtg465x and he only edited a few things in /system/customize so I flashed the IA /system/customize/default.xml and it seems to have greatly improved. Noticed one of those such lags but it is not the one out of every hundred that it was. I typed this a few other things multiple sms one of which was long and only had to tap one key multiple times to get it to work. And only three taps at that!
If I further test it I will ask gtg for his permission and post the default.xml in a flashable zip.
Now all that is left to do is edit build.prop to make my phone say inspire not dhd then flash from mdj v21 to 23, calibrate battery for this ROM (grr... Coredroid updates wiped my battery stats while it was only at 63 percent charge during install) and then I can finally be happy and leave my phone exactly how it is! Yeah that will last all of what? A week maybe? Haha nah I am happy on coredroid!

I've had this happen to me on multiple ROM's and it always seems to be the "e" key that stops working for me. I just restart my phone or change input methods and it usually fixes it for a while.
Wish there was a permanant fix cause it does get annoying.

According to my research, editing the build.prop file on Sense ROMS doesn't directly reflect what is listed in About Phone. It seems that you have to edit default.xml in /system/custom/CID.... before installing the ROM
Yeah I read the same thing.right after i posted that... Oh well! Maybe when I get bored enough to do it. And after further testing i concluded that changing the default.xml to disable some of the keyboard layouts and things as gtg465x did didn't really help all that much... On the bright side, i may just go back to inspired ace and use uot kitchen to customize it
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
So nobody has any other potential fixes for these freezes? Has it happened on every ROM you guys have used or what? I tried replacing my customize folder with the one from ia with cut down keyboard languages and layouts but no luck. Maybe we can find a fix!
EDIT: There may appear to be some confusion here. The problem in reference is not that the keyboard fails to rotate, gets stuck in landscape, or shows that a message is being typed and nothing appears on screen. The problem I am having here is that certain keys in random order at completely random times do not work but the keys around them do. This results in messages such as "Hey that bnd sunded relly gd" instead of "Hey that band sounded really good!!!" because the A and O ceased to function and likewise the exclamation point which is with the A. Also, at times the key will show it is being pressed but stops registering before the symbol it relates to is pressed. These problems exist on stock android keyboard and on sense keyboard. Hopefully someone will find a fix in drivers or something otherwise we will have to wait for a cracked official OTA GB update if that ever happens as they say it will...

I´m having the same issue, and it´s driving me crazy!!!
It´s weird, because I´ve had this phone for months, and had no problems, until a week ago.
I´m on Stock ROM BTW.
no solution? this is an on going problem and hard to ignore...
I have to agree with everyone here.. It is a pretty glaring flaw in the Inspire. And many people think that it barely happens.. But it is a problem that occurs for me at least 5 times a day and that is not an exaggeration. Everything that I have been reading does say that this is an impossible thing to fix.. Just a bit frustrating. Does anyone have a way that lessens this from occurring?
ive had this problem also for awhile. 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.
finally! thanks you, guys. Finally I get support for a bug that supposedly didn't exist. I have been out of the rooting and ROM flashing game for a few months, as I got a new Inspire and never got the chance to root it. I finally caught a break from school work and got fed up with having to do battery pulls on the ATT stock ROM (terribly made, I must say. Sense froze daily.) I rooted and flashed the trusty old Inspired Ace and what do you know? flawless. as always. I flash the new coredroid 8.1 to see if the keyboard bug still persisted. For the first day, I had no problems. Then the freezes came back. I think it is very possibly a side effect of the undervolt kernel. As for those that say all phones are not created equally, and my processor just can't take the ROM, is that really likely on two phones in a row while the inspired ace ROM works flawlessly?
Edit: Also, for those that say stick to IA if it works, it hasn't been updated in a long long time and never will be since GTG465x moved to the Captivate
It's not that people don't beleive you, its just that this is not a common enough bug for it to be a software issue. It has to be a specific hardware malfunction. I have never had this problem on any Rom configuration that I have used. I have never seen it as a reported bug either.
Sent from my Inspire 4G Using XDA Premium
Good point... It just still doesn't make since since one DHD ROM didn't do it all yet others do. Coredroid I is not doing it nearly as severely cd6 did. So maybe there is hope that it is a fluke combination of hardware and software bugs rarely manifested.

Bump
Well, in preparation for android 4 I decided to get used to AOSP ROMs since they will probably be more widely available than ICS Sense ROMs. After using cm7.1 for just two days, the bug is still there. Note that this is a different inspire than the thread was started on. Does anyone have any solutions? It just makes no sense that this bug does not occur for me on Inspired Ace or Stock but does on every other GB Rom I have tested. For everyone reading this with the urge to pop a comment at me like "Stupid, stick with IA if it works," that ROM has been abandoned since May 5, so it is outdated. Any hopes for ICS roms solving the problem?
Keyboard app is not the problem. Does it on touch input (sense ROMs), swiftkey X, swype, and android default keyboard.
After upgrading to cm7.1 rc1 my inspire can't get a gps lock. I'm starting to get a little bored of cm7 anyways so I'm looking for other roms to try, preferably AOSP.
The only feature that I must have is volume button music control.
any recommendations?

Just throwing it out there if you really like CM7 there's a fix for the GPS. Just make sure you look through the thread and get the right GPS fix for your region.

Weird after applying it. Still seems like the GPS isn't locking
Sent from my HTC Inspire cm7 nightlies
With mine it took it a few minutes to get a good lock after I rebooted. Download the GPS Status app and it will show you how many satelites you are locked to. It might take a few minutes to connect but you should get 5-6 connections for a good position.
Where does it show how many satts your on
Sent from my HTC Inspire cm7 nightlies
It should show you a number right to the bottom right of the compass and it will tell you how many satelites it detects and how many you are connected to. It will look like 5/6 (five being how many are connected, 6 being how many are present). It might take a minute before that appears.

For a couple of weeks now the RUU for the HTC one S is out but i still can't find a ROM with bluetooth working. How is it that this still doesnt work and any other feature (hardware) was fixed within 4/5 days.
besides that, why are like 5 and more roms which all contains the RUU of the S, and futher only a downloadable kernel. I dont see the difference in a those roms, except for the developers own opinion of spamware. I believe there is a rom which uses install menu, so why not do the follow:
- make one basic rom
- fix what gotta be fixed
- and make a install menu where you can choice all app's to be installed. where only maps, telephone, message, play and browser is basic (maps since is not downloadable)
no offense but for me (as a noob, i can't deny that) it looks like where wasting time just because people are donate- & thanks- horny, where the mean goal should still be offering the user costumized or fully ported roms
well, when the fix comes out, every chef will put that on his rom...so, if you can't find a rom with BT working, is means that there is no fix out...
for your "ideal rom" I agree, there are too many customised roms, i like the stock feel (and I use arhd), if you want something like that I think that ordroid is the best stock like rom...is not working just bluetooth...
I still use arhd until an official relase of sense 4 will be relased...
I am also anxious to use sense 4, but the source has got bugs in it, and the chefs are helpless on this.

Mainly coz the user's don't post logcats?
If someone gave me a logcat of Bluetooth turning on/off in settings it can help pin down the file causing it then reference what has changed in Sense 4 to sense 3.6 then hopefully get it working.
As it is it will be difficult because the Bluetooth for sense 4 is Bluetooth 4.0 whereas sensation us only capable of Bluetooth 3.0 so there is probably a huge variation in the files

didn't it worked at the RUU of the one X, which also had bluetooth 4.0?
Hello,
I hope this is in the right area, xda / android newb (switched from iPhone within the past three months WOOHOO :good but here goes...
I have the HTC One X (at&t) and I'm running CM10 nightly 20121216 with rohan kernel b6. Every once in a while I when I unlock my phone the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, meaning the lock slider does not work whatsoever nor does the notification center pulldown. I did my best to research this issue and I'm not sure how to replicate it or if its even relevant to CM10. As in is it just my phone, or is it rom / kernel combo that causes this? The only way to resolve this issue is to power down the phone using vol down + power as the power menu is unresponsive as well. If anyone has any insight and would like to provide a solution OR if this is a completely new bug I would be happy to provide more information.
Oh, and a big shout out to Richard V. for figuring out LED for notifications :laugh::good:
I'm pretty sure this is probably a bug with Sweep2Wake, enabled by rohan's kernel that you have installed. Try reflashing CM10 without any custom kernel and then see if you have the problem.
Under volting has cause that for me several times on cm. Its the death sleep. I stopped using kernel mods altogether because of stability about a month ago. So not sure if that's what is still happening for you. But perhaps give it a shot
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Thanks guys I'll be sure to try that out. I somewhat had a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel.
I have been using the CM10 ROM for about a week now and I have been having this crazy issue with the camera exaggerating the light like crazy. I went outside to take a picture and the entire screen went completely white. Same goes for indoors when there are semi bright lights around but it isn't as intense as when I go outside. This wasn't happening before I switched to CM10 so I am guessing it has something to do with the AOSP camera app. Does anyone know of a fix or a different camera app I could flash?
Update: I played with the camera and discovered closing it and reopening it seems to do it. It isn't permanent but it works when it happens.

I thought I would take a moment and maybe link some of you all of this because it fixed my issue permanently. Keep in mind that it may not work on all phones but it worked on my US version of the HTC One X.

Apparently this is the new Google edition camera app and if you're coming to this thread for a fix maybe this will help.
