Hi,
I just received my Touch Pro and I tried to use the camera! The app version is 6.01, but it seems to have a few bugs like:
1-When I touch to center button to focus, nothing happens! To make it work, I need to hard press it to take the first picture, after that, the touch focus starts to work!!
2-If I take too many pictures or try to focus a lot of times, the auto focus stops to work and show a red X. The only way to make it work again is to soft reset the phone!
My ROM version is:1.90.405.1 WWE
Could you confirm this behavior on your phones? Or maybe my phone is faulty?

sounds very strange......
I think the only thing that may help is a hard reset....
If that is not working...ya probably have to send it back...:S
But I hope I'm wrong and somebody else has a good idea/solution 4 you! good luck with it!
1. Settings -> Advanced -> Page 3/5
Shoot Option = Touch and Press
Hi,
Thanks everyone for replying.
My setup was already in touch and press.
But like I said. If I soft reset the phone, the first time I use the camera I have to hard press the button and take a dumb picture, as the touch doesn't work. After that the touch button works forever(till the next soft reset).
Seems to be a software bug, but I am not sure. If someone can test it on his/her phone it would be great!
Soft reset the phone and try to use the camera. If the touch button doesn't work, take a dumb picture with hard press the button, after that the button starts to work.
My Touch Pro with stock ROM also does this.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for replying! So seems to be a software bug! Let's see if they will release a fix for it!!
Hi. My touch pro has the no go first time but work afterwards until next soft reset problem too.
But recently I noticed if I push in the button(doing anything or nothing as long as it was pressed) before I enter the camera app, it always work.
EDIT oh stock rom 405.1 WWE
Humm, so seems that the problem with the button is with the device driver that controls the touch part of the button, not the camera application itself.
Well I'm hoping its the software but fearing its the physical button.
I also have exactly the same problem! Stock ROM.
Never experienced this problem since I first bought it. Same goes with my Diamond. Anyway, try hard reset your device. If the problem is still there, it would be best to send in for warranty claim.
Can't we just update the ROM?
Mine it also v. 405.
I think I'll update today.
programatix, what is your ROM version? Could you try to do the soft reset test I posted? So you can see if the problem happens.
Mike, will you updade the ROM to a newer version? Which one? After you do that, please tell us if it solves the problem.
I have the same problem with mine :-(
Sometime the autofocus works, in most cases not and after a while after pressing the button I get an very unsharp picture.
I have the latest german ROM Version 1.90.407.4 GER so other users with this actual version might have that problem too...
I also have this problem but my auto-focus just plain never works...EVER. Has anyone tried a hard reset and had it fix the problem? I would like to know before I try it.
+1 - sw bug for def
405.1 WWE - stock UK rom.
so, it has been a few days, has anyone tried a hard reset or found any other solution to these camera bugs? Or is everyone just trading in for a new pro?
Strange. My AT&T Fuze w/ stock rom doesn't have this problem. After a soft reset, I open the camera and press the center button, it auto-focuses just like it's supposed to. Must have been fixed for the AT&T rom.
Apparently not many people have this problem on sprint either since nobody seems interested in it.
I've been mucking about with mine since I thought the touch/auto focus feature wasn't working either.
What I discovered was that the button doesn't really respond to your touch very well and so you end up pushing the button all the way down which ends up focusing and taking the photo all in one step. At least this was the case with mine anyway.
Instead of just touching the button softly, try 'stabbing' at it with your thumb a little instead. I don't mean forcefully, just kind of tap and hold as opposed to just lightly touching it.
That's the best way I can describe it. It may not be your problem however...
Hi,
I've flashed my phone (HTC Touch Pro) with Hardspl and then the latest Energy ROM.
Everything went perfectly and I was impressesd with how simple and easy it was and how much difference the ROM made to the phone.
Today, while using the camera, the screen went blank.
I tryed turning the phone off, pulling battery and a hard reset but its still the same.
Even after hard reset, the screen is blank but if i press the power button, on the second press, I get a flash of whats on the screen and then it goes blank again.
Should I try to reflash the phone again?
I've searched but not found the same issue
Thanks
The touch screen is still working and sometimes i can see the display, but its very dark and hard to read. Is the flex cable that needs changing?
Why would it stop working so suddenly?
Should i take it apart to reseat it?
Ok, I've found the same issue in a few other peoples phones but they seem to have beeen resolved by sendin the phone back under warantee.
I dont have that option unfortunatly so need to find a fix.
The only thing wrong with the phone is the screen backlight that suddenly failed
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction please? I cant find a definite diagnosis anywhere
New Flex cable?
New Screen?
Pray?
Thanks
Back to stock SPL and stock ROM
Still no luck
Hello, I have recently discovered a very annoying problem with the touchscreen on my Motorola Defy:
I have noticed that the touch screen acts strange sometimes, so I have installed a touch test application(Touchtest by Hermit). In this application I have noticed that if I touch the screen in two different points in a fast succession, a line appears between these two dots. This makes a lot of application that require multitouch pretty much useless, because I have to restart the application to have the touch screen working again.
Is there any solution for this? I have heard that this may be a software issue, so I have e-mailed Motorola, but they have not answered yet.
I have attached two pictures to illustrate what I am saying, one taken before this strange error, and one after pressing on two spots very fast. You can see the line connecting the dots in the second picture. I can make a video if you still can't figure out what I am saying.
Thank you.
Im having a very similar problem here on my defy. When I play games on psx4droid and when I keep pressing x key, it stops working for a while then I have to release the button and when I press it again, it stops working and it continues
I encounter similar problems with my Defy.
When for instance using slide to unlock , 1 / 5 sildes fails. I have to slide 2 - 3 times until it unlock.
It also scrolls very slow in applications and the same thing happens when typing a message.
Solution : Unse lock button.
It currently runs Pays ROM, but the situation appeared since I installed 2.2.1.
I don't remember having this problems on 2.1.
Don't know if the situation is only related to software but it is really annoying.
Found this info regarding touchscreen slowness, but I am using the original charger so it doesn't apply for me.
Motorola Defy Touchscreen Problem
I recently got my Motorola Defy,my Defy's touchscreen acts sometimes really weird, on keyboard it's hard to enter 'r' or 'b' and some other characters, it takes little while to unlock the phone, it automatically opens applications, I don't know if it's due to faulty handset or software, I am considering it returning to Phone4U and get a replacement handset.
What version of Android are you using ?
Same problems here, but I think it is a software issue.
I'm having the same problem on my Defy.
After a while, the multi touch stops. I posted on the Motorola Forums
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44733
but no response.
I used YAMTT and when having two touches, after 20 seconds, one of them disappears
This is repeatable
2.51.1 UK with 2.1 Android
Well, it is clear that this is a problem that affects many Motorola Defy users. But I wonder if someone could fix this thing?
Looks like the new software version 2.51.1 did not fix this bug. I haven't tried it yet, but I see some of you have.
So it looks like our only solution could be a developer from XDA. Could someone help please?
This is ridiculous...i've sent my phone to motorola only because it was giving this problem and basically what i think is that their own software is causing this problem so i'll be waiting for 3 weeks and when i get my defy...it'll still have that problem...Ridiculous...
I did a bit more experimenting.
I flashed the 2.2 Finnish blur, multitouch still disappears after 20 seconds using the touch testing programs
I also booted into Safe Mode (vol up + vol down during boot)
The same problem persists; I was using gallery image zoom to test.
However, I got my friend who has a Motorola Droid to install YAMTT. The multitouch lasted about 30-40 seconds. Not sure what to make of that. He's running some version of Cyanogen Mod on Android 2.3

I was messing around today and even the single touch disappears after a while
30 seconds or so
Mine sometime stop response after few seconds
really wierd
Tell me who is on stock rom and is having problem..because im on 2.2 leaked..so i cant really say if u hv this problem on 2.1...
I got this response from a Motorola employee. Anyone know of a way around this?
Motorola Employee said:
If you touch the screen and don't move for a long time, the screen will eventually try to ignore that touch as it'll be considered invaild. That's what you're seeing. If you continue to move your finger(s), touch will continue to work. Also, when you release the screen, it acts to clear the invalid touch region that you generated earlier.

I have the same problem. screen sometimes go crazy. i am using stockrom eclair SEA 2.59. sometimes it seems that it tap icons or part of the screen even without I actually tap on something. and it seems it affect the capacitive button under the screen. I am not touching the search button but the search box suddenly appear.

somebody please help us. I am also having this weird problem. Touchscreen gets pressed itself not everytime but it happens very frequently. Tried everything, hard reseted too.
At least I gotta hope that its not a hardware problem as many of u are also facing this problem. Any body please confirm if flashing cm7 has helped u or any other solution.

i returned my defy months ago but what you can do is, try to flash cyanogenmod on your defy...that should fix the problem.
Hi, I've registered myself just a minute ago, reading the link that efpod left here and I've remembered that I charged my Defy with a Galaxy S i9000 charger friday (I've charged it once the batery was drained later with my original charger) and today it is failing A LOT, it's really anoying.
I got Cyanogen Mod (latest) installed on my phone so that doesn't fix the problem.
I'm uncharging it with "StabilityTest - CPU / GPU Test" and when the battery drains out I'm gonna charge it with the original one, after that, I'll test it during the day and I'll leave a messege to keep you informed.
Hi! I have an issue when im trying to connect the captivate to the tv... i can see the image, but... the touch buttons go crazy (home, search and back).
Begin to push themselves many times and not let me use the phone "well"
There is any way to fix that problem, or at least lock the touch pads?
Thanks! (PD: sorry for the english)
A little more info would help. What Rom, etc. r u running ?? And any other info that u might find useful to provide that might help in getting a better answer for ya. Anything major u have done to the phone as of late, mods, etc. Thx.
Hi everybody,
I'm new, I've just registered to ask your help. I've already found useful info on xda several times, and I hope to fix this problem too.
After having fallen on the floor, my xperia U screen doesn't work properly anymore. The phone is working, the touch is working, but the sceen is black: when you turn on the phone, the screen is back-enlighted, then turns black and if you touch the power button the screen flashes briefly showing correctly but only for a fraction of second.
What to do? I disassembled the phone to check inside integrity and I didn't found anything clearly wrong. Should I buy another screen and try to change it, or you think that the problem is elsewhere?
I put a link to the video of my xperia U showing the problem:
wwwDOTvideosproutDOTcom/video?id=0d19d245-4079-408a-b5dc-3ca5cb339904
(sorry for putting the link even if I have to wait 10 messages before being allowed, but I think that the video is the best way to show you the problem)
thank you guys
Hmm...theoretically (not necessarily correct but may be), each type of screen has this thin file of wires (it's like a flat-translucent sheet of plastic with parallel black stripes like you often find in monochrome displays) soldered to the board. Maybe that part broke?
I don't know but it's definitely not a software problem.

Thank you for tha answer,
well, I tried to check each internal connection, nothing seems out of its place, how to say... of course I have not an expert point of view
The strange fact is that I would understand if the screen wouldn't show anything ever, but when I press the power/standby button the screen flashes and for a very brief second it works normally....
