Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung galaxy s last week from an eBay auction. The phone was described as touch screen lag. I was thinking that flashing a new firmware will solve the problem. I got really cheap though
The touch screen stops suddenly in every 5/6 minutes and I have to lock the screen using power key and unlock again to make it working.
when I got the phone:
Non Samsung battery and chargers were used, I changed and using original ones.
Stock XXJVS firmware in it.
First I flashed stock 2.2.1 froyo and test the screen using *#0*# code. it got pass. But when I start using it, the problem was still there.
Then I flashed stock GB, same story, now slim ics, same thing.
Please someone help me, there is nothing I can do with it now.
I search few threads related to screen problem but couldn't find one with similar problem. So asking here.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me..but it's really hard to say if it is. But it would definitely seem like it since it isn't ROM related. Maybe a water damage or faulty digitizer?

This happens to me sometimes very rarely though, it will be weird and hard to touch but speaking to someone with the same phone they said they had this problem to all I do to resolve the problem is lock and unlock the screen, I thought this was normal?

It shouldn't be normal. I am using another galaxy s for almost two years. But never had this problem in such extent, little bit lag on touchscreen when on froyo. But never after. Now with slim ics Temple run is more smooth then iphone 4.

Thanks for reply. When I got it first time, it was really annoying, the problem was so frequent that it was almost unusable. Now in new rom, after unlocking the screen it works little longer then before. Works like a charm when it works. So not sure this is hardware problem.
Sent from my Galaxy S using xda premium
I don't think this is a hardware or problem either, I broke the screen and replaced it and I still have the same thing when though it is very rare, so if it was the screen it should of gone after I installed the new one, btw I installed a whole new pre built front so the bevil and LCD, and my phone has never hib water damaged? Maybe its something to do with the bootloader? As that doesn't change through ROM flashes

I did that couple of times going through Advance slim setting. That didn't change anything. Now I'll try this as well.
I change touchscreen into chainfire sensitive option in semaphore app. Still lagging.

Guys its really annoying now. Its behaving strangely. I played with it few hours and found out that the screen near the home button freezes first. I cant press the dock but still pull the notification bar? then stops working whole screen. I checked the show touches in developers options setting. Sometimes it works randomly actually without touching it , I just place my finger near the screen but didn't touch and on few occasion it works opposite direction, like I scrolled down but it gone up:crying:
Is this the sensor issue? Is there any way to fix? Any idea please?

I tried all of those apps, nothing wrong. I think I should change the screen and digitizer, I might need to go to the repair center because my hands shake (my usual problem) and hard to fix tiny things. I want to do few experiments before taking it to repair. I already put it in the freezer for two hours it was acting like crazy after.
Suggest me more...

Me too!
and i thought i'm the only one experiencing this kind of problem. it is exactly what i'm having on my sgs. seems to be temporarily fixed by turning the screen off and then on again, but after a while, the screen doesn't respond on the same spot as you're having.
i've managed a low level debug on screen touch response using adb logcat, and my touch doesn't really register any on adb logcat console.
they might be correct on the hardware problem, but when i'm on any gingerbread rom (2.3.6), the problem is gone.
guys, any idea what kind of drivers they're using on gingerbread for our touchscreen?
I have this too on ics, left half of screen stops responding, lock on/off sorts it....until the next time! Bugs the hell out of me!
Me too! on ICS
btw, i'm already on ics team nyx
change
flash CF KERNEL and put ICS CM9
middle screen not responding
- when in stock gb firmware (official from samsung), the touchscreen problem is gone.
- but i want the features of an ics rom, so i flashed one (first was slim ics); the problem appeared first; first guess was the custom rom was still in its early stages.
- flashed back to gb, no touchscreen problem.
- flashed new ics rom from cm9 (nightlies), problem appears again (ugh!).
- flashed backed to updated slim ics since this was the fastest and easiest to install, touchscreen problem still persist.
- found a temporary fix by turning the screen off then on again.
did a adb logcat full trace log of touchscreen input: what i noticed was the whole vertical middle part of the screen is not responding to touch; dragging touch from one side to middle is working just fine, but not starting from the mid vertical part.
the problem may sometimes go away after a while, and sometimes persist even after the temp fix. it's very intermittent indeed.
help please.

So your sgs touchscreen working fine on stock gb rom! It might not be a hardware problem then. We have similar problem, only difference is I have problem on GB too. I've even tried stock froyo, same story
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
same problem here, left part of the screen would be unresponsive at times
can fix by locking the phone through power button and unlocking it, thats why i think its a software problem.
I dont remember having this problem in GB also.
maybe something is messed up during flash?
I have the same problem with ics and jb roms from the onecosmic ics times and i had a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648287
I have written here but no one seems to now what it is, i have been using ics from onecosmics first release and had the problem from that moment on, different kernels, roms etc it is still here i have flashed gb again and problem is gone, flash again with ics the middle part still acts sometimes. ?...
We should request from kernel developers and rom developers to look into it. I have tried almost everything no luck so far

hi guys,
can somebody please help me, since couple of days my Milestone is behaving in a erratic fashion. it automatically opens apps, closes it, disable my capacitive buttons, and many more like this. i was running on stock 2.2 with root. it worked good for 20 days, suddenly it started behaving this way. i flashed it to stock 2.1 and applied cynogen 7.1 (latest version), but the problem still exists. not been able to use my phone.
Guys help me please, really scared, feels like my phone is haunted
Looks like your digitizer is going to die... its a common problem in MS1.
Its like some one is touching your screen... phone goes mad.
Look further in this forum and you may find attemps to fix it (or at least a try)
Good luck.

Are you sure it's totally off? I had this issues when phone looked like it's turned off, but when I pushed buttons for a while it was waking up, so I didn't have to restart it. Some people recommend using jBroid Kernel Cleaning script before you flash new kernel.
And if it's happening after installing new ROM I would recommend to flash stock ROM, then doing a full wipe twice and then flashing ROM you currently use or want to use.
I don't have such problem anymore so it might help.
I'm on the custom rom, I've never rooted my device. The phone is like dead, it's not even turned off. At first I had to put the battery out and then put it in again. Then I discovered that if I pressed the power button for something like 5-6 secs it started again, with the samsung logo and all. Not a big issue but if I don't check my note often I risk to miss important calls. Please help me! Thanks

What apps do you have installed? I had this problem with both WidgetLocker and NoLed.
WidgetLocker I have just given up with - wish id never bought the stupid thing, as it's never worked reliably on my Note or my tablet! (rant over).
NoLed I traced the problem to the flash-the-screen battery saving features. Changing it to leave the screen on all the time when notifying hadn't seemed to use any more battery life and my dead screen problems have gone away.
Just something to consider!
You can try connecting your Note to the PC when running Samsung Kies software. Maybe it will find an update to the ROM you are on right now and this might fix your issue. If not you should go to the developement section of this forum and search for the recent stock rom available and then follow dr. ketan's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If flashing new ROM wouldn't solve your problem, then I guess it's a hardware issue that requires professional service.

I think he should try a different kernel first. Another possibility is that some apps in your phone cause this problem.

I think its a stock kernel and ROM he's on... Even though he says 'custom ROM' he also says its never been rooted, so how would he get the custom ROM working if not by rooting the phone?!
That being the case it must be something interfering with the sleep mode so its probably best to check what has been installed recently, remove those apps one by one over a period of time and check if the problem goes away!
Yes it's a stock rom I am using and the issue happens randomly... Is it maybe lockscreen app? I read the users' comments and no one mentioned such a problem...

Note randomly shuts down - Did you solve this issue?
Hi,
I was wondering if you managed to solve this issue as I am experiencing the same issue where the phone randomly switches off when the screen is locked.
I am using easy battery saver app which sets the sleep schedule to check network data every 15 min.
Cheers
Galaxy Note 2 shuts down
The issue exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well and has nothing to do with software.
The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
Also, take a look at this site I built that goes in to more detail regarding the issue: www.GalaxyNote2ShutsOff.com
One look at that short video and I am sure there will be some light bulbs going off. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.
thanks for the heads up with NoLed....I just hope my issue ( phone's screen just dies when not in use - but I think the device is on as the headphone jack responds with the disconnection sound when unplugged) gets resolved...
I was thinking too that philz cwm may be affecting it ( kernel issues )? ...any way I will update as time passess
Hi everyone,
I was up to ICS Rom yesterday, but everytime i unlock screen, i cant touch in the bottom of the screen, cant typing with h, g, j and somewhere around it, but on the right, left or top screen i can still use normal. Does anyone know what happen and how to fix it?
When im in CM7 Rom is was fine and has no problem
PS: Sr for my bad english i really not good in grammar.
Same problem but different area
I have the same issue.
On Apex i had no issues but when i upgraded to SlimICS 3.2. The right side of the screen ocasionally becomes unresponsive.
That is, on any keyboard from approximately the 'i' to backspace horizontally, and from enter to the top of the screen.
This whole zone randomly decides not to work. the only fix is to turn the screen off and then turn the screen on again, or backing out of the application and reloading it. The application can be anything, chrome browser, swiftkey, messages, whatsapp.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
I'm running slimics3.2 with semaphore ics 1.0
I'm also running slim 3.2 and had the same issue with the sephamore kernal. I just reflashec the essentials and everything worked perfectly for me.

I hate to say this, but its probably the fact the phone does not like ICS, it is more than likely some sort of hardware incompatibility issue.
I went through this exact same thing, it was on a 1009 or so build number captivate, no matter what flavor of ICS, none of them would work properly with the touchscreen hardware, there was always a spot of the screen, at the lower center 1/4 portion of the screen, that was unresponsive. Flashing a Froyo or Gingerbread rom, the touchscreen was perfect.
So.. I sold that Captivate, purchaced a refurb Captivate off Ebay, and touchscreen is perfect with ICS (CM9 is what I run).
Wish I had something more helpful, but that's my experience. Good luck with it.
I have installed different ICS roms to 3 different i9000s. All of them has touchscreen problems.
Some parts of the touchscreen does not react to your touch sometimes. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen. I have tried different kernels etc... No go. It really annoys when you are dialing a number, writing a message etc.
And interestingly no one mentions about it at ICS Rom and ICS kernel threads. Can I be that unlucky to have the problem on 3 different i9000s (They are not from the same batch, each one is bought from another part of the world, at different years).
I would really like a solution or suggestion. Till now i have tired different kernels, different ROMs (mostly ICSSGS (different versions), and Dark Knight (different Versions)). I even tiried diffrent schedulers and governors.
Peace.
That's weird, I have used SlimICS and have never had TS problems... Are you sure you flashed everything right? Please explain the way you've done it
with one phone installed team icssgs as it should coming from the stock , other phones back to stock with odin than cf root and flashing the roms after wipes factory resets. the usual flashing procedure....
Try flashing the team hacksung base first, afterwards flash your desired custom ROM. That should do it.
could you try to explain the diff. between flasiing without cm9 or or with cm9. whar would
be the difference at the end?
I don't exactly know why this is needed, but I would assume that TeamHacksung or CM9 have some frameworks included which are perhaps missing in custom ROMs. I'm just guessing, don't really know =/
Have you tried it? For a CM9 based ROM, flash CM9 first and for a TH based ROM, TH first
Hello,
Have you checked if the Problem still remains when you are on Stock ROM?

In ICS-333 from you can turn on show touches in developer options in settings menu you could see if its registering your touch immediately or at all. The browser is the only place I've experienced touch lag though.

I know what causing it. It a bug where dirt or water or something gets on the screen and because the drivers on ics is so sensitive it picks it up, try changing sensitivatiy or keep that screen very clean

i have the same problem. its very frustating. never happened in gingerbread. only on ICS.the bug happened occasionally, the funny thing is it only affect the first row area of the screen. (lower left altheway up to upper left corner), it doesnt register tapping on the screen but it still register swiping from outside of the area..., like ussual i need to lock and unlock again to make the touch working again.
I have installed GB back and problem is gone? I am out of ideas anyone?
Flashed back ics bug returns, flashing jb same thing.
Exactly the same problem here
With Stock GB everything works fine, with custom roms the right side of the touch screen doesn't react. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen.
This is interesting this is far more than i anticipated anyone with a clue?
same problem here. my screen was working when i bought it (obviously). it was froyo then. the touchscreen problem appears when i upgraded to custom ICS rom. the middle part of my touchscreen does not respond to touch. none. nada. although the rest of the screen seems to be responding to touch so far. turning the screen off the on again temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. i put back a gb rom, the problem was gone. i was thinking maybe there's a different digitizer driver samsung put on their stock gb roms. it's really annoying.
any more ideas? should i replace my touchscreen digitizer?
Yes it's really annoying :crying:
What is different between stock gb/froyo and ics/jb custom roms that have such an effect on the touchscreen?
I will try the app SGS Touchscreen Booster to decrease the screen sensivity, maybe it helps
never heard of this problem in all the time i was ics.maybe time for some jellybean
Hi,
I have a problem with my galaxy s3 i9305, it is acting strange. Whenever I have an official ROM, it just hang like not going anywhere and give a pop-up that the setup wizard is not responding, and then i changed it to custom ROM, i tried PA, CM, Resurrection Remix and etc. It works fine, until the screen is off, my s3 will automatically reboot or its hang. But the problem only appear after the screen is off, and it works fine if i never turn off the screen..anyone have an idea about this??

cause it's a strange problem man..no one can give you an exact answer..here is my opinion:
well since you flashed the original firmware and the problem still is(assuming you did a full wipe between instals) your problem is hardware related.. i would suggest going to local service and investigate further...since you flashed custom i guess warranty is out.
today i read an article about iphone admitted they have a problem with their unlock button on the 5 model...maybe they did some voodoo to affect our phones too....
