Hello all,
Been a long time lurker, figured it was time to join.
I'm having an issue with my AT&T G2. It is currently running the Sonic Open Kang 4.4.2 ROM. Before it was running the stock 4.4.2 build.
I've noticed this issue ever since I went to 4.4.2, my touch screen has been acting very flaky on the top portion. Half the time, I try to pull down notifications and it begins to pull down but then glitches back up. I'll have to swipe it 3-4 times to get it. Also, when installing an app, click "Install" on the app page doesn't register most of the time, I have to back out to the list of apps, hit the three dot icon next to it and click install that way. Also, click the top links on Google & other sites causes an issue sometime as well.
I'm thinking this is a 4.4.2 issue, but just wanted to confirm. I've searched around on Google and here but found nothing at all. I can always go back down to 4.2.2 to verify but wanted to see if anyone has had these issues before, or if there are suggestions.
I was also thinking that it could be my screen protector, but I had no issues previously and it's still relatively new.
Thanks in advance!

have you dropped your phone recently? does everything display properly?.. try opening quick memo and drawing over the screen
Sonic Open Kang is an AOSP type ROM so he won't have quick memo to test. Install a stock ROM and see if it makes a difference. Also how does the screen respond in your custom recovery (TWRP, PhilZ, etc)? If it does it in recovery, it could be hardware or your screen protector. If it works fine in recovery, it's a ROM problem.

Hi, i searched all over the internet.But i couldn't find anything related to this issue.Everytime i reboot my device in the morning,if i have 2 home screens , definitely one would be duplicated or one would be erased.I should say that duplicated screen or disappeared screen doesn't come back to its original position until i rearrange those screens.I'm on stock 4.4 Kitkat.I haven't root or did anything to the device.I don't know what causes this bug.Anybody have this same issue?I would appreciate any help.Thank you.
So no one encountered that kind of bug?
update to the latest 4.4.1 came out a couple days ago and see if that fixes the problem.
Are you running a beta of any launchers or just running the stock one?
Never had this issue when I was on stock 4.4.
let us know

Sorry, i expressed myself wrongly.I don't reboot every morning,just boot my phone after overnight charge.
Guys, I have the same problem. About twice a week I am losing one of my 4 home screens.
It always happens after a reboot of the N5. Always the 4th one is gone, and it doesn't come back if I do another reboot.
It's not at every reboot, but surely annoying, since the whole screen is gone.
Haven't had the problem with 4.4, started with 4.4.2.
And pls, no questions, why I reboot my device, this doesn't help to this topic.
Hi,
I am the one who started the tread.The bug is gone after the 4.4.2 update.Hope you find a way to fix that.

Wrong, if you're rebooting cause you're having an issue it could be related to the problem of losing your screens. More information is always better and if you provide incomplete information then people will ask questions.
Please don't ask for help and then act like you're above the people trying to help. Thank you.
There is another bug regarding this and is it related to GEL where some people are ending up with an extra home screen and have to hold an icon and release to get rid of it. I am pretty sure it is related.

Every night, I turn my phone off. In the morning it will be turned on again
No technical reason.
It's a strange bug, never had this with other versions of Android / phones.

Hi,
I have all the same problem about the disappearing additional home screens: it appens randomly(apparently) when ,at the moring, I turn on my Nexus 5.
(last standard firmware 4.4.2 on,GEL Launcher and Google Now disable).
I found this other strange thing: when i found disappearead additional home screens, if I had new home screens with only app in each, when I reboot, SOMETIMES, i found the old disappeared home screens(whit the preovious app icons in them)
I thought it was a problem of "Clean Master" "Delete Junk Files" operation but I cant reproduce the problem everytime.
Anyone have hints about this problem?
thanks
PS: Happy New Year!!

It's the same for me. Today I turned on the phone and the last home screen was disappeared. No way to recover it. I'm thinking to install an alternative launcher.
hello all,
It has been 2 weeks since I have update my OS to version 5(Lollipop) and in the last days i have experienced problem with apps that are installed in my phone. Once i open an app after 30s it will go away in background without any action from me. Yesterday i got an update for chrome and it made it worse, now i do have problem with keyboard it doesn't show in some cases were i do have to insert password.
Is there any solution to such problems?
best regards,

Since updating to Lollipop I've also experienced a number of issues, including laggy home screen (it's blank for a second or two before the icons start loading, whereas before it was immediate) and huge number of Chrome crashes. Anyone know if there's anything we can do, or should we expect an update from Google?

Hi,
as i was not able to get any info regarding how to solve the issue, i did Factory Reset.
at the moment problem seems to be solved, i have left not installed now only 3-4 apps which I had before when the problem started.
2 hours after the operation finish i got nearly 10 google apps aupdate, chrome was one of them. it doesn't crash any more, keaybord shows up and works.
Also menu button works perfectly, when i press it all the apps show immediately, its doesn't take like 10-15sec for the apps to show up.
I do recomand to perform factory reset.
regards,
I've got an odd problem with my p900. If I install any lollipop ASOP ROMs, the first time I reboot after initial install, the display mostly stops working. The first boot works fine, I go through the setup wizard, set everything up, and the tablet works and displays fine as long as I don't reboot.
Specifically, what will happen if I reboot is that the tablet will go through the normal boot, and get to the point when the wallpaper and status bar will come up, but no homescreen icons or anything. Then after a while, about 2-5 minutes, the display will go black except for the status bar. I can pull down the notifications drawer from the status bar, and it will display, as will the quick settings, but anything I tap to try to interact with will seemingly just do nothing. If I have 'show touches' on, then touches will display properly, anywhere on the screen, but they seem to do nothing. I've tried trebuchet, google now, and adwex, the home app doesn't seem to make a difference.
The problem first began in I want to say october, when I flashed a CM12 nightly update. I unfortunately no longer remember which nightly I was on nor which I flashed to. I of course immedately tried to flash back to the previous nightly when I discovered the problem, but it did no good. It took me a while to figure out the pattern to the problem after it first occurred, as I often don't reboot the device for a long while after a first install. I don't have a lot of spare time to devote to sitting down and just focusing on trying different things, so it wasn't until president's day weekend that I tried what I *thought* would fix it, ODINing back to stock and installing the latest CM12.1. Clearly that didn't work, or I wouldn't be posting.
I've tried the 20151104, 1029, 1006, and 0910 CM12.1s from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945. I've also tried Civz lollipop, pacman, and resurection remix. Anything not stock based has the problem. I tried running stock, but I've been running CM since G1 days, and I just can't stand stock, even the stripped down and modded versions. It just doesn't work right, and I can't get used to it, even after forcing myself to use it for several days.
I've never encountered such a weird problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this beyond what I've done already. I'm currently running thompatry's Cm12.1 20160212, having not rebooted after the initial install, and it's running mostly ok, but I live in dread of my battery dying, and of course I can't install any xposed modules like xprivacy or multiwindow, which is bothersome. I have the wifi only US model, v1awifi, and I'm currently running TWRP 3, tho I was on TWRP 2.8.something when the issues first started happening.
what's the last 3 characters of your bootloader version?

Have you tried changing kernel? I mean in the case of civz lollipop rom you do get an option of 2 different kernels try choosing the opposite to the one you had chosen before. Thank you, hope it helps.
I won a year ago 2 Note Pro, one works flawlessly while the other is slow af and it has the same issue that you speak about. If I stay on stock everything is good more or less (sometime little slow), but if I install Lineage or any other Custom Rom is too slow and has the same issue you speak.
I changed both batteries, but nothing to do. If anyone knows, text please.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
My phone updated to Android 6.0.1 a couple of weeks ago, as the update rolled out.
Since then, I've been experiencing some sort of keyboard "freeze" while I type. The keyboard doesn't lag, it just stops taking in the strokes after having pressed a few letters. I have to stop typing for a fraction of a second and when I start again, it does take in the keystrokes (until it "freezes" again). I have uploaded a 20-second video to show exactly what the problem is, as it is hard to describe in details: youtu.be/5JI-Zsji85E (I cannot embed it as I am new to the forums)
This is annoying as I cannot type quickly, I periodically have to stop while I type.
I have a Onetouch Idol 3, 4.7 inches
Model number is 6039S
Android version 6.0.1
Build number 1BGD-UED2
I have already tried the following but none of these would work:
- Reset to factory settings
- Change keyboard (I use Swype but the same did happen through the stock keyboard)
- Turn off all animations
Any idea what the problem might be?
Used to love my Idol 3 until that update, any help would be appreciated!
I am in the same boat. I thought I was going crazy until I saw your post. Does your double tap the screen to turn it on also not work as expected? Just today I downloaded the Mobile Upgrade Q program and completely reloaded my phone. I'll let you know how things go.

I just realized it isn't only the keyboard, it seems to be the whole screen that stops working. As if the connection between the screen and the hardware got lost for a fraction of a second and then got back.
However, it can't be a hardware problem as it it intermitent: sometimes the phone will work fine for half a day and then the problem comes back for a few hours.
I never use the double tap screen to turn on so I wouldn't know :/ .
I'll be waiting to know if the Mobile Upgrade Q program worked for you!
have you made a factory reset after update to 6.0.1?

Yep I have, it didn't change a thing, which is why I tend to believe that the bug is due to the android version itself.
Yes, this is also my experience. My advice would be to stay the heck away from this update for now.
Hi all, I did a search with no luck, so hopefully this is a valid question!
I have a weird problem with my moto G3 2015 and was hoping you guys wouldn't mind reading about and possibly offering some kind of advice if it's not too much trouble.
Every so often, I'd say at least once a day, the screen becomes unusable until I press the power button a couple of times (to turn the screen off and on again). Even when I do this quick fix, the problem comes back very shortly afterwards. It only goes away after 10 minutes or so, or if I get annoyed and put my phone away. I thought this was a hardware issue but don't believe that now due to the following:
1. It is a different problem depending on the app I am using. In facebook, scrolling is no longer smooth, and doesn't continue scrolling if I flick down the feed. It only scrolls down while my finger is actually on the screen. I am also unable to actually 'click' on anything, only scroll. In Brave (my browser) it acts as if I've just double tapped the screen, as in if I move my finger down it zooms in, and if up then it zooms out. In snapchat when watching a friend's story it acts as if I've held down on the screen in order to forward their snap to somebody else, and then it doesn't respond at all to any touch.
2. The 3 buttons at the bottom are always functional no matter what
3. If the problem begins when I'm in an app, if I go to my home screen, I am able to navigate my home screen and app drawer with no problems. It's as if the problem is contained within the apps.
This started a few months ago while I was running the copy of android that the phone came with. I put on lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170629-nightly-osprey-signed) and pico gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170629). This seemed to fix the problem for a while but then it started again a week or so in.
The fact that the problem is only happening while I am in the apps, and disappears when I exit out of them makes me think it can't be a hardware issue? I am also no expert with phones or android, but am somewhat experienced in rooting and playing with settings etc. (I'm not sure if it happens in other apps I'm afraid, I can test if need be next time it happens).
Thanks so much for any help, and please let me know if there is any more info I can give you!
P.s. The new ROM is much better than the old one.! The battery definitely drains faster though, but that's a whole other problem

That is actually typical behavior on older devices using as many social media apps as you're using. Especially Facebook and Messenger if you're also using it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache when this happens?

When I flashed lineage OS I believe I wiped the cache. I will do it again though to see if it helps.

Yeah, you wipe cache when you flashed, or at least you should have.

Hi there
If the issue was software related, a change of rom should have solved it.
If the issue is kernel related, all users must face the same issue...but that is still not the case.
So This might be an issue with the screen being old. When the power consumption fluctuates, lcd screens can misbehave.
