i dont know if anyone else is having this problem but when using NSFANS, Groove or any newer 6.5 rom, when i slide my keyboard out and press any key, the screen reverts back to portrait view, EVERY time. help pleeeease....
I've had this issue the first rom I tried, Hard reset fixed it. but sometimes the issue still pops up
Hey all,
I'm experiencing a strange touchscreen phenomenon. I'm rooted and was previously using xtrSense. Recently I switched to xtrROM and while I LOVE so much about this ROM, I have been experiencing some touchscreen issues that arise with increasing intensity and are making my experience with this phone increasingly frustrating. I seem to encounter dead parts of the screen; consistent areas where the touch screen becomes unresponsive or acts strange.
Examples:
Keyboard - There are consistent letters that just will not recognize when I press them or can only be accessed by starting on one letter and then sliding over the the one I want, e.g. the L and M in landscape, the V, I and caps toggle in portrait. Other things go in and out as well, i.e. the sensitivity of touching one letter. There are times when the keyboard just wont consistently settle on one letter when I try and select one.
Other buttons - I am consistently having issues selecting buttons in gmail, like the OK button on a pop-up window. I have to play the rotate my screen game to get the button to work. Also, the OK button in the window of many SENSE programs, like alarm clock and mail. I press in the area of the button all over and I get nothing, but the CANCEL button right next to it work without fail.
I do have other screwy touch screen issues at times as well, e.g. my home, back, menu buttons won't respond, or will think they're part of what is displayed on the touch screen. I also on occasion have bizarre issue switch the LP dock. It won't find it's home and will constantly shutter between two rows.
The question is, has anyone else experienced this, either with the ROM and/or LauncherPro? I'm going to be re-flashing the ROM, and maybe even loading up some other ROMs to see if that alleviates the issue, but I wanted to first see if before I go through this if anyone has been through it before and can impart some hard-earned knowledge. I've tried to do some digging on the forums but didn't find much of anything.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

I have not had this experience at all. I used to use both xtrSENSE and xtrROM for several months, although I currently use FroShedYo. It frankly sounds like a hardware issue.
Just to eliminate the possibility, you could 1) do a fresh FULL wipe and flash of xtrROM, 2) go back to xtrSENSE or even better restore a nandroid of your xtrSENSE from before and verify if the problem still persists, or 3) try a completely different new ROM just to see what happens.
If the problem still happens on other ROMs, which I'm very sure it will, then you will know it's a hardware issue and if your phone is either still under warranty or you pay for insurance, then I would exchange it for another Eris.
Yeah, I figured as much. Like I said I am going to do some ROM work, but it may come to admitting that the hardware may be going bad.
Thanks for the reply.
PS GO BUCKS!
Hey guys I did a quick search but couldn't find anything specific. Randomly, the Y, H, and B keys on my atrix have stopped working. When I hit them I sometimes get nothing, or sometimes it gets the key next to them. If I try and swype across them, it will stop right at that line that all these keys are on. Any ideas on what this might be and how to fix it? I have rebooted and cleaned the screen. I'm running Cognition beta rom (had to flash back from CM7 in an emergency using CWM).
I'm really hoping this isnt a fried digitizer...
ok so i have a huge problem...i dont know whats causing it all of a sudden but im on the updated KOA rom and out of no where my keyboard is bugged out, i hit a letter and maybe 1-3 random keys take action....ive tried re flashing, wiping caches, different roms....and still have the same issue...and i think my phone itself is acting up as far as random key presses when im pressing another key....what is this !? and how do i fix
Yeah weird stuff happens with the keyboard sometimes. I'm using switfkey, and it only ever bugs out in the browser search bar.
I dont know what is causing it, but I cannot seem to type work a crap since the OTA. Not sure if they changed the layout just a hair, if they changed the sensitivity, the hotspots for each key or what but its annoying.
I seem be having a lot of trouble with the spacebar and hitting "b" and "n" way too much instead!
I've been having these 2 issues for a while now and I have a feeling they may be connected.
Both issues happened with stock and with paranoid android. I thought that Greenify was the culprit because they seemed to go away for awhile after I uninstalled it but both issues returned at about the same time.
Basic Info:
LG G2 VS980
paranoid android 4.4
rooted
xposed
Issue 1: Screen
My screen will sometimes not turn on. Neither the power button or knock on will work. It seems completely random when it will and wont turn on. The notification light will shine if I have a notification but the screen itself wont turn on. I can usually turn it on again if I wait a few or minutes or if I restart the device by holding down the power button.
Issue 2: Keyboard
I will open an app (hoverchat, chrome, snapchat, ect) and they keys will respond to my touch and the spell checker will show what I'm typing but nothing will show up in the text box. If I type nonsense eventually some of it will show up and I can continue typing. Clearing the data and cache of the keyboard didnt help. Usually I have to quit and reopen the app a few times in order to be able to type.
This happens with every keyboard I have tried. I am currently using Android L Keyboard (I think it got removed from play).
Both of these issues are incredibly frustrating and I would love any help anyone can offer. Thanks guys!
