[Q] Touch Problem??

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my nexus. Sometimes the touchscreen doesn't respond. It goes blank for a few seconds. Only in certain areas. Then it works perfect. Has someone else had this issue? Also noticed that the problem fixes if I lock/unlock the phone.
Thanks,
Kel

Hi,
Do You have by any chance Google sky map installed? If yes, uninstall and reboot.
Cheers!

I have the same problem.

Lockscreen issues

anyone else having lockscreen issues? It was working fine but now of a sudden I have to move the ring like 4-5 times before it unlocks.

Yeah man, well known issue in the forum check out some if the other threads about screen issues. There is not really any real fix except to pray htc sends out their update lickity split and this issue is addressed. Seems most people have this issue after having their phone right around the 1 week mark.

Use the search button... There are numerous posts/videos/magazines/graphic novels/HBO mini-series about this issue.

Actually they are still in talks with HBO.. Looks like CBS Studios is offering more money so the mini-series will likely wind up on Showtime.

Vibrate function not working

Does anyone have a clue why vibrate function would stop working? It does seem like it is very very slight, it happened before, then it started working again but felt for some time like phone had a bad cough then got normal, now it stopped working again and is back to being slight.

Mine has a longer turnaround time. It did not work for weeks. I thought it was memory issue because it stopped working when I did a lot of downloading and then started working when I froze a lot of bloat. But now no such thing happened, I have enough memory.

This would happen to me on my nexus s. I would just reboot and all would be fine.

Have you tried Vibrate Tools?
It fixed an issue I had where notifications from Go SMS weren't vibrating. After I used the app it worked again.

I think It's just a problem with the motor. You should probably send it back in. That's what I'm going to try and do.

Notification sounds don't shut off

Anyone else have this problem? Can't imagine I'm missing a setting.... Mute generally means mute.
According the this screen shot all sound should be off, correct. Dumb question but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

So, I'm the only lucky one with this problem? It's not a big enough deal to return to it but it is annoying.

I have this same problem with my sgs 3. It's really annoying i had checked everything but notification kkeeps popping up even when i have read all my emails next messages.

Okay, sounds will not shut off no matter which method I try. Any ideas? Factory reset my week old phone

Audio manager from the play store effectively shuts the sound off if anyone else has this problem.

Samsung wants me to send the phone in to fix this but I'm not sure being without a phone for a week or more is worth. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I install a custom ROM this problem will disappear. I'm frustrated, this is a stupid easy problem to fix (with an app) but a BRAND NEW phone should not have this problem to begin with. I wonder if I flashed the stock rom on top of the stock rom (lol) if that would work? Only one other person has this problem?

factory reset should fix your problem.

As a workaround you can choose "Silent" as your Notification sound.
If you only need this functionality at work for example look at Llama that will allow you to configure it very easy.

I've tried Llama before but really didn't look into it too far. Where I work is only about 3 miles from my house so I'm bouncing off the same tower in both places..... Did not work too well with Llama. Can someone check if there volume shows the same as mine when set on mute? The only thing muting is the ring tone. Just curious...

I see the same thing if I set the phone for Silent mode.
There's all different notification sound settings in this phone, I've noticed - my email accounts have their own notification settings per account, messaging has its setting, etc.
Maybe Silent mode primarily silences ringtones and doesn't prevent separate apps from making sounds? Which types of notifications continue to make sounds?

All of them. Anything not set to silent (email, text, messaging, etc) makes a audible notification when the phone is set on mute. Also, when my phone is set on vibrate I also have audible notifications.

From the User Manual, pg 124:
Use Silent modes to temporarily silence the sounds your
phone makes, except for media playback and alarms, or
replace them with vibration.

So, it doesn't seem to claim affecting your sounds beyond the ringer and maybe keypad noises or similar. Working as designed, it seems (not that I agree with their design, in this case).

To me that means it should silence notifications since it's not "media" or "alarm"? I'm just going to buy sound manager since it has more options anyway..... $2.99 to end my frustration with this

I would classify "alarm" as notifications, in trying to interpret their jargon for the context given.
Yeah, an app which can configure sounds across all your apps and settings seems best, here.

Appreciate you looking that up in the manual. I actually downloaded it after your post . I bought the app and set my work and mute profiles... Nice app. I know this is stupid thing to worry about but it gets frustrating when I get woke up or a notification goes off during a meeting. Silent on the sound manager app silences everything.

I know this is an old post but thanks for the tip. I was in class last night and someone was giving a speech and all of a sudden my phone starts whistling. I thought it was in mute, apparently the notifications were not. I'll give sound manager a try.

Actually I've had no problems since the jelly bean update.

Hmm, mine was still having the issue, even after I installed Sound Manager that you suggested. I found one "AudioMuter" that worked perfect for me for 0.99.

Google Search arrow over my home button

Persistantly on screen the little up arrow stays over my home button so I can't use it whatsoever. Sometimes if I reboot it will go away for a short time, otherwise it's always there. I thought it may be from gravitybox but I wasn't sure. Any help would be appreciated!!

Are you using any lock screen mods? I had the issue a couple months ago but forgot how I resolved it.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Weird - even the camera icon on the bottom right is what is usually on the lockscreen (not usually in the app drawer). What mods do you have installed?

I have Notification Mod and Gravitybox

I have the exact same problem. Glad I'm not the only one who's going crazy with this thing.
I pretty much have your exact same set-up. I disabled Notification Mod last night to see if that is the problem but that damn little arrow keeps popping back up over the home button.
I have no idea how to fix this either.

Same issue... but no resolution...

Honestly it's been so long I don't remember, but somehow I fixed it! I think I red lashed my rom, removing GravityBox beforehand, and reinstalling it, only enabling things I knew I needed. Haven't had issues since. Weird issue though
