this has only ever happened to me with certain kernels on android however i remember a thread with some people having to get their screens replaced as it was a hardware fault for them. Try flashing a different rom, if that dosent work revert to stock and call htc
I had this and it was hardware, got replacement phone but yea, that's a good idea, flash new rom, test and then revert back of still faulty

Just curious to know what keyboard you guys all use?
I use SwiftKey.
Swiftkey
Maybe would have been better with a poll.
Stock Android Gingerbread keyboard, the "Samsung" keyboard is a joke compared to the stock experience. Sometimes Swype, but not usually.
stock ginger keyboard here.
The awesome thing that is Swiftkey, of course !
Stock Samsung.

SwiftKey all the way.
Tried a few and I have finally settled on SwiftKey, I used a Desire Z for 4 months so its gonna take some time getting used to a virtual keyboard again but the extra width and bigger keys is a huge help.

By the way millions of regular users use what is selected by default which means samsung keypad or swype.

Stock Gingerbread from the Market.
I'm using the HTC_IME mod for the Desire. Used it for months and I prefer it to the installed keyboards.

How did you get this working, I tried just copying the one over from my old HD2 mod but then cancelled when it said touch input will replace system settings or something along those lines and now get force closes even though I've removed it. Can this work alongside the other keyboards or do you have to replace? If replace, how can I backup the standard please?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks.

The HTC MOD one is really good, i used it with my Galaxy S. you need this version (which i am using): .
Just a little test for the various keyboards out there, over the many months since i first got my first Galaxy s, i have tried many many different keyboards and none, except the HTC MOD one, would allow you to enter anything into the drop down 'search this thread' box on xda's full site which i always found strange, granted, you have to be in landscape and it takes a couple of touches of the box to allow you type anything, but no other keyboard i have tried will allow you to do this! I challenge anyone to find a keyboard that does.
All of you using the Swiftkey or Smartkeyboard....
I tried using both. But in the email composition application neither of those keyboards shows word suggestions...i.e. in Swift key the word prediction bar appears in all apps except email compose mode. In Smartkeyboard, the word suggestions appear in all apps except in email compose mode.
Am I the only one facing this issue???
Please help. Because of the above I am having to live with the default Samsung Keyboard.
Thanks so much for the HTC keyboard link. The stock keyboard is very frustrating. I'd tried lots of others but all had their problems. This has improved my phone tremendously!
For some reason on my S2 go launcher keeps on loosing its settings for instance shortcuts of apps disappear or appear on top of each other or move around or widgets disappear etc all the time.
Any reason for this ?
Thanks

I have had not problems with Go launcher until wednesday when my copilot icon disappeared then the next day 2 other icons disappeared which is weird. Luckily I had done a Go Launcher backup so it was easy to fix but I might email the dev for the app and let him know.
left feedback on their home page and downloading/installing the 2.31 beta to see if this works

Im having the same problem too on KE7..
Its not a big deal but its kinda annoying when suddenly some icons went missing.
i've found 2 temp solutions for it..
1) if in portrait, switch to landscape once or twice, it should return to normal.
2)if point 1) didnt work..backup the Go launcher config under preferences,n restore the config when when icons missing again..
N other this little bug, the launcher EX is a fantastic app!
I get the same. Shortcuts disappear. I just restart the phone and the icons come back

That's what I do... I just hope they fix the issue soon, it's a great launcher.
Wow, I had the same happen to me today, while at the super markeg my wife took the phone to take a photo, of our daughter and the 5 buttons at the bottom gone and 5 pluses were there instead. They came back earlier when the app updated though.

I had a little bit of flakey behavior with this one too, not just here but on the N1. To be truthful as time has gone by all the big players (LP, ADW, GO) have become more and more similar in their features and functions and to me it has come to a few simple things, with ADW I get a little hitchiness in the launcher, not big but its there, with GO I get a little bit of assorted things as described, with LP I get no issues and it works smoothly. With touchwiz I get no issues and it works smoothly.
I had been using LP but thought I would beat around the stock launcher and see what could be made of it and truthfully I like some of the things touchwiz as a launcher alone does. It used to be that when I switched back and forth between launchers I felt like I was doing something new and different, rather than the same old thing which had grown boring. Its one of the reasons I switched in the first place, to spice things up. Nowdays though the big three feel much the same, I know I have switched because of the little differences but it feels like using the same launcher. With TW I feel like I'm doing something a little different, its nothing major but its there. I like that. I like the home screen slider that allows me to slide from one far screen to the other or any screen instantly with one hand. No need to pinch and pull up the overview or swipe across. The only real fault I have with it is that you cannot define rows and columns and other basic setup items that would greatly improve my ability to set it up the way I want. I had been hoping that someone might step in and offer a utility that allowed that. So far changing default home and sorting the app drawer alphebetically is covered if you're rooted.
At any rate IMO unless you are a launcher fanboy start checking out the rest of them and see how your performance with your setup is, if its good and you have no issues you're done because the difference between them as far as function,form, and features has become very little. Also consider giving TW a go, it really isnt too bad once you remove all the wiz and use it strictly as a launcher.

I think you may have just swiped the 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen mate. There is a setting in Go Launcher to have around 3 bars at the bottom of the screen. If you make it so its only 1 then you can't swipe it and get those +'s.
lol Good point Matrix, the buttons are swipable so you can add more shortcuts there. I can see how someone could accidently swipe over and think he had something screwed up when the shortcuts were "gone" and only the pluses where you would move new shortcuts were showing.
Same issue here. Icons sometimes disappear when restarting the phone. Restarting again brings them back though

Hi all,
I just would like to ask someone to spare literally 2 seconds of their time and drop the market/youtube widget onto their homescreen (the widget thats like layered and staggered) and once its on your home screen, flick the home screen to the next screen along (either direction) but do it VERY SLOWLY.
Now, out of curiosity, do little dots or lines appear on the widget?
Thanks

VIDEO SHOWING THE PROBLEM
No, they do not for me.
Bumpppppppp
nope .....
I uploaded a video of the problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCckl3fluZg
(Watch it in atleast 720p to properly see it)
If anyone can doublecheck against theirs thatd be great
You need more confirmation?
try another launcher.
I no longer have the tab at hand and won't do until after christmas.
Can no one else look at the video I made and tell me if they get anything similar?
No one? Really?
Well, I noticed them. However they are faint and appear only when scrolling rrreallly slow... So, what? Do you have any info that this means faulty H/W? I think that it is launcher related.
Edit: Used adw and the problem is gone. Plus the widget looks better.

You get them too?
I don't think it means faulty hardware, that's why I was trying to confirm if anyone else had it.
But it seems its launcher related! Thanks!
Anyone else got any input?
I love the option on the browser that when you get to a page, you can click the green r button on the top bar and it'll organize the page so it'll be easier to read. I'm just curious if I'll lose it if I switch to a non touch wiz Rom. If it is a touch wiz thing, can anyone recommend an aftermarket browser that also does this?

It's a TouchWiz thing. I had to actually go see what the F you were talking about because I had not seen it before... I'm using chrome, not the stock browser, but I used the stock ICS browser on my HTC Incredible (running ICS, of course) before I got my SGSIII, and I know it wasn't there.
I can't recommend an alternative though. Sorry
I tried searching for even the name of that option and it doesn't show up anywhere. I know that the iPhone (ugh) also has this option and its called reader in ours browser but I can't seem to find the android alternative. Hopefully someone spots this within the million posts and can help out. Thanks for the help though
UPDATE
I tried the CM10 preview #5 and theres no delay or "elastic scrolling" at all.
Seems to be something samsung added as a "feature" in the stock rom.
Heres a video of scrolling in CM10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey,
I already found this thread but no real answer or solution.
I noticed a lag between the physical touch points and the positions the apps are getting. Some people referred to that as "elastic scrolling" but it seems to be present everywhere.
Heres a little video that shows the touch position from the android developer options and from a multitouch test app.
As you can see the positions the app gets is indeed "elastic" and seems to be delayed just like scrolling.
Another one that shows the scroll delay (even in lists with just a few elements).
I find it quite annoying compared to the direct input on the HOX or even compared to my old phone running CM7 (a Motorola Defy).
Is there any way to get rid of that behaviour? Oh and since I did not try one yet: is the input/scrolling in custom roms delayed too?
The S3 should have enough computing power for direct scrolling ..
I see this elastic scrolling more of a feature.
Me too, this looks more like a feature to me. Can anyone try AOSP-based ROMs and see if the result is the same? Especially on CM10.

Updated the OP with a video showing scrolling in CM10. Apparently theres no input lag or "elastic scrolling" compared to the stock roms.
Why the hell did samsung add this loose input?
this "elastic scrolling" thing annoys me like hell....
I just bought a quadcore CPU phone, and now my phone likes some WindowsMobile6.0 thing?
Come on Samsung, ever tried scrolling on an Iphone?
Please come up with a better solution...

You do realize CM10 is based on "Jelly Bean" and not "Icecream Sandwich" as the current Samsung ROM's are?
ICS has elastic scrolling...
