[Q] Digitizer scrolls down suddenly/randomly - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems my galaxy ace will suddenly scrolls down by itself, mostly in opera mini.
Sometimes, in google map, if "flicks" to another place by itself too.
Any one has the same digitizer problem? I'm thinking if I should take it for repair.
Or if someone already tried to get it fixed, but it'll never be fixed like some design error, I'd rather save my time...
Edit:
Tried both stock rom and CM7. My GF, a colleague and a friend who owns an ace told me they have the same issue

i have this bug too, and i think all ace users has it too. and for now there isnt any fix for it.

And I thought I was the only one having this problem. Samsung sucks >_<

I'll take it to Samsung later today.
I hope it can be fixed, its getting annoying.

Lol, you can't fix something that's wrong with all the Aces. I have that problem too. I'm guessing its another factory fault like the battery meter.

Got the phone back,the problem still exists.
What apps are u guys using when the erratic scrolls occurs?

No wonder samsung doesn't care, it seems the users don't really care, except me
I'll try to fix it in the touch driver in the kernel and release a patch if it's fixed.
The plan is to filter those extremely quick finger press and release events, where those events are impossible to be human(by time and distance of the 2 points).
I can't seem to find the kernel source for the CM7 roms for ace, so it'll be a patch for the stock kernel.

Same problem here, this scrolling glitch gets very annoying after some time

Its kinda spooky hhhh. Like a ghost using ur phone too

Is there any patch for it ?

For me it scrolls up...
Then I used a touch test and this after repeatedly moving my finger around in the left bottom corner, this is what I got.
This problem also makes it difficult to use swype!

I just seen a thread for this. Some people have taken their phone into repair which they can't fix it. Its a hardware fault. If you can prove that its doing that after they repair it, there is a chance to get a different phone of about the same value.

same, hope it was a freak accident and not a simple drop
Rule #1. Don't ever give your phone to a pissed off person... exhibit A attached.
Instead of replacing it with a new Captivate I went with the HTC Aria.. maybe not the best choice, but I think it will do the trick. I like the size, and GPS actually works out of the box. I plan on frequenting the XDA Aria section.
I'll prob try to sell my busted up Captivate on eBay, for anyone that might have bricked their own phone. Other than the screen the phone seems to work without issue.

Edit for helpful-ish answer: Hope you were paying for the insurance =/ I don't know where you'd go about getting replacement glass, and standard manufacturer's warranty won't cover physical abuse like that

Drawing straight lines/inaccurate touch screen.

Has anybody figured out a way to draw straight lines on their galaxy tab easily?
I understand inaccurate touch screens are quite common on android, especially compared to apple products.
If a fix was possible, I guess it would have to be embedded in firmware or the os. Any thoughts?

Get a stylus and a ruler? I sure can't draw a straight line on my ipad with my fingers
swyped from a galaxy far far away
Maybe I should try it ;-)
All the lines I draw in drawing programs on my tab come out sort of wobbly. I tried using a demo ipad 2 earlier and the results were much more pleasing.
I suspect some smoothing could be applied to make the whole situation much more sane without losing any significant information.

I've got Sketch Book too. Seems to be the only real choice on Android.
The problem I have is with trying to draw a line slowly and even more so diagonally, which as I wrote before, I don't see on the ipad.
The smoother lines were drawn more quickly.
You can try touch screen booster sgs, play with that and see if it helps, I think the problem is it may be to sensitive

Thanks for the tip. I google for quite a while touch screen settings but nother turned up of use.
I can confirm this.
And personally I dont think there is a fix.

No dice Runs but doesn't make any difference.
Well remember the tab has a higher dpi than the ipad, I think its hard because your finger isn't going perfectly straight, see if a stylus would help and if it does you know its your finger
swyped from a galaxy far far away
Tried a stylus before and out was even worse.
I'm using overcome, I'll check with altbridge if it honors ts.conf and see off the tunables there help.

Told you so, dont double post.
Sgtabhi has answered your question in AOKP thread? Didn't you read?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
yes he answer that it is normal !!!!
but why happend to me and no one else !!!
and u said u saw be4 similar issues so there is a proplem then
it is impossible that samsung said that there will be problems in touch when charging ... are their devices in beta !!!
It is because of your house power supply.
That is why I said try charging somewhere else. Bring to your office, or friends, or relatives place.
Use voltage stabilizer. Test all you want.
Besides, capacitive touch screen depends on proper voltage/grounding to work.
If your car manual said don't turn on the engine while filling up gasoline, will you still do it?
And when it explodes to blame the car being in "beta" stage?
Certain device works in certain condition.
It is good that SGTABHI found the manual saying exactly that, so you can rest assure your device is 100% like others.
iwill give a try and i hope that it from house powe supply !! but i doubt that

Extreme Right side of touch screen not working

Hi,
As titled, need help in finding out what's the cause of the problem.
My extreme ride side of the screen (near e edge) for the middle section is not responding to touch anymore, so with e default keyboard, in portrait mode, i can never press the P letter.
I tested the screen with e multi screen test app and i found out that the length of e unresponsive side stretches to around 5 to 6cm in e middle section, with e lower end just under the P letter and stretches up...
I tried to use the Nook screen calibration app but didnt helped, i also reflashed CM7 and Mirage-CM7 over multiple times but still same issue...
Any idea wats going on? It was still working find few days ago
I have just recently started having the same problem on my phone. My HTC EVO 3D is running on D3RPs ICS ROM and I just recently noticed the problem, but I have not tried anything to attempt to fix it yet. Have you made any new discoveries since posting this?

Blurry in app icons

Hi, I have an ROG Phone II on Android 10 version 17.0240.2108.103, and a lot of my apps have blurry icons when I'm inside the apps for no apparent reason, almost like it's loading the wrong DPI for the icons. Snapchat, YouTube, Google maps, Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, and my Asus router app are all effected in some capacity. I attached screenshots of the apps I've noticed the issue in so far.. any ideas would be helpful. Deleting the apps and reinstalling them doesn't help

That's what my plan was, but I still don't have any OTA notification over a month after release.
I haven't looked much into updating manually, but it seems more complex than I'd like.
I'll be going for any other brand the next time I need a phone. This poor software support really sucks. I sent an inquiry about the headphone jack not functioning on the fan accessory when using the gamepad attachment, and never got anything useful back out of it.
My first Android phone was an Essential PH-1 and getting updates the same time as Pixel devices really spoiled me. Security updates were always current, as well. Much better experience overall, on a much more limited device.

Update: I dropped the . ZIP OTA file into root, and it fixed all the issues I was having.
It also removed a gesture I liked having to get to the app tray. "innovation" they call it.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it! At least the icons look better now
