Sometimes my touchscreen will be terrible, their will be no response at all.. and it will grab, but it will be in the wrong places, ive only found this problem whenever i rooted and reflashed with das bamf so far, and it blows because its literally the only problem i have now after being so happy with this root/rom deal so far.. i never flashed a kernal, so would that have something to do with it, or are kernals necessary to do? i have no idea what one even is to begin with so if that will improve the keyboard and or permit it from failing that would be worth looking into.. or is their a way to increase sensitivity on the phone somehow?
Thanks!
It's not going to be a kernel issue. Kernels do effect how some things work, but the Bamf team pair their roms with a kernel they find most suitable with their work. Kernels are mostly for setting CPU speed and Voltages.
I don't think your issue is a rom/kernel related issue. Does this problem persist when you turn off the screen and turn it back on? Sometimes if you get sweat or moisture on the screen, it tends to freak out. Another thing you can try doing is just reflashing your rom. I remember putting the leaked OTA Gingerbread on my ex's Droid X and after 2 weeks, the screen started selected itself dead center of the screen. Reflashed the rom, and it hasn't done it since.
If all of these things fail, than you have a hardware issue I presume. I wish you luck
Does your problem occur consistently all the time, or only in certain situations?
I.e: When the screen has been off? When exiting certain apps, etc?
If it only happens in certain situations, it may be a clocking issue that is causing the "lag" response.
The only way ive found to fix it so far has been to wipe the screen down every time before use, but i find that odd because with the factory rom back when i never had to.. so i guess its just more suspectable to elememts interfearing with the actual screen.. i havent changed screen protectors or anything.. The craziest thing to me so far..
Which version of DasBAMF are you running? I have a similar problem with their Sense 3.0 roms. The buttons on the MLB at bat widget and the refresh button for the Pulse news widget seem to work only intermittently.

The problems with your widgets may be related to the resizing issues with the 3.0 rom and where on the screen you have to tap for it to recognize the tap. I think many have been fixed, but there may be still some odd ones here and there.

I was pointing out an issue with widgets on Das BAMF 3.0 as a specific example of an issue you might have. This point is not relevant since you are running 2.1.

On RC5, the 2 widgets I mentioned are still wonky. I'm sticking with 2.1 remix for now.
Do you have any kind of screen protector? I get that from time to time when my screen is dirty and as you said wiping it down has always fixed it.

Yeah, do screen protectors fade over time? as stupid as that sounds ive had this one on my phone for six months.. is it starting to break down or something?
also my next theory is temperature.. when my phone is exposed to hot areas it doesnt react.. i noticed that tonight

It's nice that the music player puts controls onto the lockscreen, but they don't actually respond to anything until touched, all I can do is drag the padlock to unlock the device.
Is there something I've missed to make the controls active?
Yea, this confused me too. At first I was like, oh awesome music controls on the lockscreen, nice touch. Then after like 30 seconds of mashing my finger against the pause button I realized that it wasn't interactive and thought, wow that is just stupid.

Actually they do work, but only after trying many times. There's a bug in webOS 3.x that causes notifications to not respond well to click events. I have the same issue in my music app, Music Player (Remix). On webOS 2.x, the notification controls are much more responsive.
Yep, you're quite right, I kept pressing the buttons and they eventually responded.
Here's hoping HP eventually release a 3.0.3 and it sorts this out.
the controls work perfectly fine for me. it registers every single click and ive never had problems. do all of you have the increase touch sensitivity patch installed? ive had it since day one and havent had many problems with my touches registering.

Sure do. Wonder if the kernel would make any difference, I'm running F15.
I've got the "thumb controls" patch installed but it doesn't seem to work, might start removing/re-adding patches and see what's going on.
thanks for the tip, never knew about this (i listen to music on my sensation, use my TP for books/video/browsing)
its working perfectly for me, no lag, running WebOS 3.0.2 w/ uberkernel-52
the one thing i did notice is that you HAVE to hit the white on the button, its not a square framed button, but the actual white icon which is kinda weak, but wont change anyway

I have WebOS 3.0.5, and Increase Touch installed. I also have tried the Buttah patch to no avail.
I have been unable to have them both. i am not sure if you can.
I have never have my audio controls on the lock screen funtion. it would be nice if they did.
I have be a user since WebOS 3.0.2 and no functioning controls
Do you or anyone have any other suggestions to try.

My Thunderbolt is rooted, and I have tried several different ROMs (some AOSP even) and different kernels, and still I get this strange problem... I use WidgetLocker and fairly often when I go to unlock my phone, the touch screen doesn't work. I have to turn the screen on and off several times and sometimes that works, but it may take up to several minutes for it to finally register my touch. I even sometimes have to pull the battery because after ten minutes, nothing is responding. At first, I thought it the ROM/kernel - I used BAMF in the beginning and that is when I noticed it. Then I switched to ShiftSense, and I barely noticed the touch screen ever failing on me, but the lack of GPS locking and accuracy made me switch to NonSense, which I enjoy but again the touch screen not working at the WidgetLocker lock screen comes up again. My other theory was maybe the HTC Ring Lock Screen gets in the way, so I downloaded NoLock and disabled it, but that didn't work. Then I tried use the WL HomeHelper, but that didn't work... I tried different settings, but no avail. I really enjoy WidgetLocker and I want to try to keep it, but I am not sure what other things I should try to fix this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
widget locker did that to me several times so I gave up on it. Its definitely a problem with widget locker and not your phone or ROM. It freezes. I even set it to unlock with long press of back button and that would freeze as well.
my phone does the same thing, i think its a problem with our phone and gingerbread. it happens less with froyo. I believe its a radio issue.

I have used widget locker on over 10 different android devices I've own. I've never had a freeze issue with it. Reason I've had freeze issue starting with low RAM device. Then voltage to low or cpu frequency to low.
Is there a good alternative with Widget Locker? I just love the use of my own custom slider/widgets/custom background... Does any other app do that? I sort of want to try another app and test to see if it is in fact my phone/RAM/ROM/whatever or Widget Locker.

take off or freeze widget locker for a few days and see how your phone does. If it doesn't freeze, then you know its the app.
As for the guy that has used widget locker on 10 devices without problems, I call BS, I tried it on stock, and several customs and always had problems.
I sort of like the features of WidgetLocker than my default lock screen doesn't have and the look of it, so if I turn it off, I sort of want to try to find a replacement app in the meantime.
I just wanted to chime in and say I have this issue with my Thunderbolt and Widgetlocker as well. I've found that it usually freezes if I let my screen turn off by timing out. I'll turn it back on and the screen doesn't respond at all. I've found that if I let my screen timeout again while on the Widgetlocker screen, my touch screen will be responsive the next time I turn it on again.

Same problem here, I stopped using widget locker and just use the sense 3 lockscreen now.
I just wanted to put in my two cents - I was have the same problems with WidgetLocker on BAMF Forever (1.0.7 & 1.0.9). I found another thread on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151269) that someone with a BAMF Sense 3 ROM and a custom kernel was having the same issue. Someone else suggested upping the voltage on the kernel to 368 or changing the kernel. It didn't work for him, but it did for me. I'm not using a custom kernel, but there is an option to change that in BAMF Settings. I've been running it at 368 for several days now and I only had one lockup (but that was shortly after bootup and the phone was probably busy doing other things in the background). HTH
Howdy kids,
I noticed today that my screen was flickering off the charts after the most recent update this morning to .15. I'm on a WW prime in Canada. BCOKAS serial. THe only real problem I've had is never-stellar wifi, and a nearly complete dead GPS.
Updated today, and the screen was flickering off the charts. I noticed first it was on the home screen. I had installed multi picture live wallpaper, to apply proper HD walls to my prime last night, but after extensive messing around I've never seen this flicker/tearing before.
Static lines horizontally, the status bar @ the bottom and top (ADW EX) would jitter a bit, and I was starting to freak out! Upon more review of the screen, it WAS in fact only happening on home. SO I disabled Multi pic live, and any transitions I had set last night. No good. Cold boot, Regular reboot, no good.
I noticed that the bottom status bar (with the home, back buttons, etc) looks slightly out of proportion, and my icons I had set up at the bottom row were overlapping the bar. I decided to try and switch back to regular Launcher (stock)
After clearing defaults, and switching to ICS launcher, everything returned to normal. Bar at the bottom was back to regular size. I re-loaded ADW EX, and everything APPEARS to be cool again. NO tearing, sizes of bars are good, my bottom row of apps is not overlapping the status bar. I'll report if the issue comes back, I'm at work so I can't play extensively, but I will reboot it now, with a fresh ADW launch and see what happens Hope this helps somebody out there!
I seems to me that maybe you should do the update on the stock launcher (assuming you were running ADW when you installed .15). Maybe the OTA doesn't like non-stock launchers running while doing updates.
I am messing around with ADW EX right now but don't have it activated as my permament launcher yet because I don't have it looking good yet. Thanks for the tips if I run into any problems with ADW.
ADW Ex was causing me problems a while ago, also ... I switched over to ICS Launcher and have not gone back. But, I still hold out hope to go back one day.
I've never had a problem installing updates on ADW before. Here's what I've come up with. I had to remove the Multipic. After rebooting, problem came back. I noticed w/ multipic enabled on ICS, it was weird as well. And I couldn't find the app in the app drawer either in ICS launcher.\
Removed multipic, and have rebooted a few times. ICS and ADW, no problems with flickering so far. Might try to reinstall multi later when I get home, but removing it has adressed the problem... just my wallpaper looks like crap on ADW again
I'm running multipic on ICS right now and when I am in ADW. I'm about to update now and let you know if I have the same issue with it. One thing I've noticed with multipic and ICS is when you come out of sleep mode the lock screen wallpaper would show up, fade out then come back. My home screen wallpaper would do it as well.
It's not unique to .15. Search the forum for triangle, jitter, dancing, flicker, or any other word you'd use to describe it.
I had this issues right after the original ICS update was pushed, and it somehow cleared itself up before I even had any updates. It happened to my friend as well on .14. It never seems to be a daily issues, just something that happens after a recent update, I don't have a clue as to the cause, however.
I've had screen issues since I received the Prime. It actually seems better now. But I also have access to the original Transformer and I noticed that after the ICS update this morning it also would occasionally have the same issues. On both devices I just see it periodically. Funny thing is, this is almost the only issue I've had with the Prime.
It happens once in a while, but certainly not every day. If left alone, it will resolve itself. If you want, you can reboot to make it go away.
No issues for me. I have used .15, with combination and ADW EX and Multipic live wallpaper. Both with random transition settings. Working fine. Stock launcher is what I normally use. No issues with stock launcher either.

I did do a search of the forums, but as I mentioned above, I haven't seen it until todays update. And its also odd, that it is happening after today's update, but the direct cause seems to be multipic
You're other comment doesn't make sense either. It'll work itself out? If I've never had the problem, and the cause was software based, how would it work itself out
Still haven't seen the problem come back, still planning on re-installing multipic later to see if something in the firmware doesn't like it.

My update was done with ADW running and have had no problems. I did a temp. unroot before update but things went smooth here. Serial # BCOKAS1xxxx. This build seems to be the smoothest so far.
Multiplication live wallpaper most likely the culprit. Its not fully optimized for ICS yet. Same thing happened to me several updates back. When I tried to use my adw launcher n multipic. Both caused issues so I uninstalled both n never looked back. No problems since.
Definitely going to chalk this up to Multipic, uninstalled, and have not seen the issue return at all. And agreed with demandarin, this build does seem a little snappier in browsers, I use nightly, and although its crashed a few extra times today, its definitely a lot faster picking up the tiles than it has been!
I also forgot to re-root after the update, which I have since done, thanks to OTA rootkeeper, I don't THINK it should have an issue, as I don't think multipic asked me for root, but just something to throw into the mix.

I don't know why it works itself out, but at certain points I've just left it alone because I didn't feel like rebooting at that moment. When I brought it out of sleep afterwards, the jitter had stopped of its own volition. I don't use any live wallpapers, fwiw. That doesn't mean it won't come back, but it went away on its own without my intervention. That's what I meant by "work itself out".
I've been suffering from sporadic sense restarts for a couple of weeks now, usually after heavy app use and when using the 'back' key to get back to the main screen. I've tried uninstalling programs and removing widgets to try and isolate the problem with little success. However, I may have stumbled upon it's root cause...showing the weather on the lock screen.
Right before a sense restart one day I briefly saw the weather lock screen flash which I thought was peculiar, so I disabled it (set it to the basic wallpaper) and it has been running perfect ever since! Also the lag moving from screen to screen that was happening from time to time is totally gone now as well. It's like the turbo has been turned back on....
I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, or possibly gets sense below a memory threshold that's the underlining issue, but I thought I'd pass it along to see if it helps others that have been experiencing the soft restarts as well.
Yeah, I have been having the same reboot screen problems with Sense even without the Weather lock screen. It makes me like Sense more and more after I really liked it on the TP2, OG Evo, and Evo 3D.

E This has been covered in a number of threads. Weather in and of itself is not the culprit, it's the resource use and how much of that sense and the Sense loader takes up. A search will show many discussions

ALL of Sense's lock screens take up about 50MB of data. Productivity, Weather, nothing but the wallpaper.. they're all the same.
The best bet is if you're root to delete HTC's lockscreen, saving 50MB, and going with stock ICS. You have to unlock to answer phonecalls, but it's worth it.
Also, get a different launcher like nova or apex. Even if they have to restart they're MUCH quicker than Sense.
try my rom
ive never had sense reboot
From more experimenting it looks like it's not the weather lock per se, as soon as I added a battery widget I started getting restarts again. It's like Sense gets to a certain memory usage and the restarts ensue. The last thing I did before it stopped restarting was change from the weather lock, so it's quite possible it was on the edge and the weather graphics/etc. put it over the threshold.
Anyways, a custom ROM is definitely next on my list, would have already done if I could get into wallet to reset.....
Did you try changing the build prop? I did that to reset my wallet so I could Rom it.
You don't have "Don't keep activities" checked in developer options do you? I had that checked and it it caused sense to restart constantly... As it should, I wasn't thinking when I checked it.

Regarding resetting the wallet..
I edited my build.prop to have ro.device or something along that to say htc_jewel instead of just jewel. I was able to get into wallet, and I used that lucky break to clear out my wallet settings so I could wipe out the OS.
For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.
