Phone: Huawei Ideos (U8150)
OS: Stock (Froyo)
I have a very strange problem with my phone. Tomorrow my trail period of Swiftkey X (beta) expired so I had to purchase it. Since Swiftkey X was a beta I uninstalled it so I could install the new version from the market.
Then problems started to occur... I wanted to type an SMS to see which keyboard I had. But it didn't show my Android keyboard or Touchpal (Standard with Huawei strock ROM) it showed a transparant black stylish screen with in each corner a button (Back, Settings, Home and Search) none of those buttons respond so does the black area. It makes a noise when touching an vibrates the phone but it does nothing!
Now the black screen doesn't dissapear anymore, it is still there. I can't touch the lower part of the screen anymore.
Tried:
Reboot: nothing
Battery pull: nothing
Uninstalled Launcher Pro: nothing
Most ****ED up thing of it al. If i'm too slow to enter my pin I can't enter my pin at all due to that stupid ****in box!
I'm going to post a video of the problem as soon as it is on Youtube.

Phone works and everything but the touch screen is not responsive.
Does anyone know how to call up the "Start" menu just using the keyboard?
or
How to press "Send" using just the keyboard for SMS msg?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure that it is possible. this has happened twice to me* (see below) and those were the only 2 things that I could not do. you can go to the program tab to the far right and start any programs you may still be able to use...
*I've had this happen to 2 of my touch pros...What I was told by a rep was there is a small plastic tab on the back of your screen. If you look on your phone where the volume buttons are...opposite side. That small plastic tab should be removed because this rubs against some connector inside the phone that causes the touch screen to die. soooo long story short you'll need to take it in and get it replaced
Sort of the same issue:
I've got a stock ROM, PhoneAlarm (latest beta) and a few other applications installed on this device, only recently has it caused me as much of a hassle as it has. I get a phone call and no matter if I press the softkey "Answer" button or the answer button on the bottom left below the jogdial, NOTHING picks up a call. Sometimes if I stab at it wildly enough it answers and immediately places a call within a call which means I can't get back to the original one i answered. It's frustrating and really annoying.
@sanjsrik - I'm having the same issue.
Using a Sprint issued TouchPro. Along with the 'Answer' issues, I'm also having problems with the screen jogging around. When I go into applications or the phone keypad, the screen is skewed, however if I touch the screen (in the correct spot), the correct command happens. For example, if my keypad screen is skewed (which only happens sporadically), it shows the '7' where the '9' should be and if I touch the screen there, the '9' correctly apprears. I plan to take the phone to Sprint either tomorrow or next and hopefully will have a clearer verdict.

I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Hi! I've bought a s 3 mini in Malaysia for my mother, and after 10 days she uses it, the bottom part of touch screen doesn't work anymore.
The bottom part (last icon line) and menu key and back key don't work anymore. The phone is not falling down, neither goes in contact with weather... It's very strange. it has happened after a simple call.
do you think is it an hardware problem? or is it possibile to fix via software?
thanks in advance.
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:
watch?v=ixWozCI8sek
I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hello people,
I've noticed a weird problem with my Samsung S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5 (yes, I know, it's old... but the last time I've upgraded to anything more recent, the battery lasted less than one day. I'll happily receive any advices on newer versions tho).
let me tell the story:
the phone is "quiet", with the screen black.
...a message arrives! (doesn't really matter if it's an SMS, Telegram, WhatsApp or anything else. Even notes will be affected, everything needing a keyboard input)
I press the power button, the phone "wakes up" and shows me the lock screen - I've set a static image with the time in the upper area.
so the phone starts running and I go to the desired application (sms/telegram/notes/etc...)
the keyboard (swype keyboard, but is the same also with my other 2 keyboards) shows up.
I try to input letters, words, but nothing gets written. If I press longer to get to the special character selection, I can't select any of them, all I can do is touching the Back button and return to the keyboard.
I usually press a key from time to time to see when the keyboard starts working.
After a delay of ~15 seconds it starts working, but I have to be careful not to let the phone going back to sleep or I will have to endure the delay again (this usually happens during a chat and it's quite annoying).
so, I suspect there is some application that gets stuck after waking up from the lock screen, but does anyone have experienced this? Any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks!
Best Regards
Max
