Hello all,
Awhile back the touchscreen on my Sprint TP2 (RHOD400) was off. I click in one spot, it clicks an inch high. Sometimes more, sometimes less..I tried calibrating, but I couldn't even click the center target once. The problem stopped for awhile, then started up again last week. This time the problem is worse. I press in one area, it presses one to two inches away. I have the phone in landscape mode and try to press the upper right hand corner 'x' and it brings up the notification window. Sometimes the lower right part of my screen is completely inaccessible, and I cannot send a text for quite awhile. Other times it is fine, but not fine to the point where I can get super accurate clicks. I was running Mr.X rom, and flashed to Mighty, but this did not solve the problem. I have also cleared storage. I used to run haret android for awhile, would this have caused any problems? I thought I should try that again since I can force the phone to use a calibration.txt file that works for sure, and see if the phone is "fixed" then. I guess my options are...
Try haret android again
task 29?
reflash?
be sad, it's a digitizer issue
(tldr) Touchscreen is off, but not always by the same amount. Reflashing wouldn't cure it and I can't calibrate it. Targets keep going around and around after the reflash, where before I couldn't get them to click even once.
Maybe one of those will fix my problem..I hope so, but I posted here to see if anyone else had heard of an intermittent touchscreen issue like this?
Thanks for reading/help guys.
Can a mod move this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=488 Touch pro 2/Tilt forum? I feel as if I posted it in the wrong forum and I'd get more responses in the other. Thanks!
Have you tried pressing the two volume buttons at the same time to get to that calibration screen. Then try to calibrate and see what happens. If this does not work for you then I would think its a hardware issue.
At first, i don't know where i have to post this.. That's the only hardware section i found. I have searched for my problem too with no success.
I have a SE X10 Mini Pro. I had my charging port broken, and i open it up and i fixed the port by just putting some glue to the port. It's fixed. I reassembly it, i open it up, and the phone thinks it's slide up, so it's on landscape mode. I have tried to disable the sensor, or limit the sensor not to rotating, i have played with the sliding up-down just in case, i flash my firmware again on it, but no success.. Now i have disassemlied it again to find anything about sliding "sensors" or something like that, but i don't find anything :S
Any help please?
Hi guys,
I am having a weird issue on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 where, if you hold in one spot for too long, the tablet stops detecting your finger on the screen. This is most apparent in games where, for example, you have to hold one direction on a d-pad for a while. After holding the button for 5-10 seconds, input is no longer detected, and the character stops moving. At this point, I'll need to remove my finger before input will be detected again (and this can take anywhere between instantly to a few seconds).
I've tried it on 4 tablets and all present with the same issue. Does anyone have any solutions/suggestions?
Yes am too facing this issue but still no fix found...
Its called water drop detection which means if u long press screen your touch get disabled for 2-3 seconds...this"FEATURE" is for avoiding accidental touches....i hate it....gives a lot problem in games gta,where is my water,moto racer etc...
I first noticed this on a running game where you have to hold down either the left or right side of the screen to move in that direction. It would usually register the first press, but not that I had held my finger down so I wasnt moving properly. I thought this was due to the game it's self rather than my phone.
I've just downloaded Naugh where you have to rotate the screen by touching either side of the phone, and again the same issue. It's really unresponsive - It will recognise the tap but not that i've held it, it will stop working. Occasionaly this will also happen when scrolling a page.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or if not, any suggestions on figuring out whats wrong?
I have recorded a video that shows what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2gCWpThWc

When you go to Settings>About phone - there is a Diagnostics section>Test device. You will see a list of tests you could do including touch screen.
I've tried this, thanks.
There is no aparrent issue using this diagnostic. It doesnt detect multi-touch though, which I find a little odd.
I did find this article though:
http://johnhaller.com/blog/2014-03-06--sony-xperia-z1-z1s-touch-screen-issue
Which seems to be the exact same issue I have on my Z3 now.

What do you mean? There are two options; one which shows dots where you are touching, and another which shows two lines for each point you touch; the lines cross at the point you are touching. They absolutely do detect multitouch, so if you're using more than 1 finger but only seeing one point, or one pair of lines, then you have a problem.
I only have one option under that test, which is to see a yelow line. It doesnt detect more than one touch at a time though.
I have downloaded a seperate screen testing app, and that detects up to ten points at once - again without any obvious issues with unresponsive.
I really can only reliably replicate the issue when playing games.
Mine does have a similarish issue.
Double tap doesn't work on first try when you last use the phone for some time.
But i think it is a software thing cause it worked fine when in continuous use.

In Settings, enable the Developer Options, then tick "show touches" and "pointer location".
I notice this issue all of the time in Ingress, however I have tried multi touch test apps and can easily get perfect tracking with 5 fingers on the screen, so I am sure the multitouch and display is working fine, and I have no problems with Google Maps or Waze where similar gestures to tap on things, and two fingers to rotate and shrink/enlarge are used.
I have no idea what is causing it, but it seems to be software rather than hardware.

I don't play games on the phone, but did try Modern Combat 3/4, which I have purchased long time ago, just to try them out. So I have played last night and have not had touch screen issues.
Yes I have noticed it, and it has at times been extremely frustrating, and 99% of the time I think part of my fingers holding the phone are touching the screen somewhere, each time I see this and adjust my grip the problem is not longer there. I think this also is partly related to the thread about ghost touches.

Yes exactly the same issue.
I agree I think it's software. Another strange thing is If I flip the phone around (So the headphone jack is now on the right, rather the left), and the game allows the screen to rotate, the issue goes away completely.
Such a strange bug.
Same thing here, and it happens very often. I ran all tests and it seems a software issue. Hope Sony solves it 'coz it's damn annoying.
Just discovered something else, in Ingress, it's always been dodgy with multitouch, however if I put the phone on the table or sofa and just touch the screen it's even worse.
Again using the same gestures in Google Maps it works fine.
I don't understand why not holding the phone would make a difference. I tried propping it up on the table to see if it was related to the angle, but still a lot worse when not holding it compared to holding it.
Never had it during games but during calls it kinda doesn't respond to touches properly.....weird.
I am facing too many issues with the Z3. First the camera quality, then the front bezel leaking light, then the 3G, now touch response. Duh!!! Should've bought the HTC M8 EYE.
No such issue for me so far at least.
Isn't the M8 Eye for China only?
I can't type for **** on my Z3 compared to my SIII. Taps don't register as quickly. Not sure what the heck is going on.
I can confirm that the latest firmware 23.0.1.A.5.73 released by Sony today, has fixed my issues with the responsiveness with the screen and games.
I hope I see that update soon. I can't wait to type quickly and double tap with no issues.
No issue with games but, typing is a chore, it keeps pressing the wrong keys like b for spacebar etc....

I've been noticing this lately as well when using the phone when it's on a flat surface.
Sometimes pulling the notification bar down can take a few times.
While play Ruzzle, it's nearly impossible to spell a word unless you pick the phone up.
Was thinking it might be the way it detects your finger, as I normally use the tip of my finger when it's flat, and my thumb when it's in my hand.
My screen is showing the static that is symbolic of a broken flex cable, so naturally after a quick google i realised thatd be the part to buy.
I bought it and its been fitted and the phone is still not working. It shows colourful static still.
Whats unique about my problem that i havent been able to find elsewhere is that
a) if i bang the phone on the back the screen will flicker to the boot up (swirly pattern thing) and freeze and after a couple of bangs i can eventually get it to stick on a working screen, hence why i think this is a hardware issue.
b) not sure if this is a coincidence or not but when the phone was opened up and the back was off, pressing on the front facing camera and around that area appeared to help sometimes, could simply be coincidental though.
thanks
