A couple of hours ago something weird happened when using the phone, apparently a zone in the touchscreen got stuck (near the K key), so when i tried to write something the path started from there, and at home screen it pressed whatever it was over that zone....
I had to turn off/on my phone and the problem was gone...
Has anyone experienced this??? What could have caused this?
This happened right after receiving a sms and a pingchat message.

Getting a strange screen glitch on my x10 mini, it does it on all roms including stock
The screen sort of splits just below the notification bar and aort of shifts up so that the notification bar is shown at the bottom.
The touch screen still acts normal as if everything is in the correct place, its strange.
Has anyone had this problem? Or can anyone help solve this

same problem
I have exactly this problem, i've had it for 9 months now, it drives me up the wall, and ive periodically trauled the internet for someone with the same situation. you are the first i've found, did you get this fixed?
i think it happened for me around the time i started learning to make phone apps, so one of the apps i installed to help me with that could've triggered it, but i can no longer remember which apps i installed, and have since factory reset the phone.

About a week ago I had strange things start happening with the touch screen. There would be a "screen touch" where I did not touch and sometimes the screen would go unresponsive all together. Turning off the screen and then back on would typically fix the issues but sometime I would have to restart. So I figured the ROM got corrupt somehow and so I changed the ROM. Well similar things continued to happen. Then at one reboot, it lost connection all together. What I realized is that it didn't have an APN. However, when I tried to add an APN and save it, it did not show up and I still have no connection.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or how to fix this?
Update - Flashed a new radio and seems to have fixed the connection issues. I am still looking for answers as to why this is going on.
Also flashed the raindrop fix which did help the touchscreen issues. They still persist sometimes though
Hey guys. My S3 started freezing randomly a few days ago. What happens is that I will be playing with it and then it will literary become unresponsive along with the hardware buttons except the power button. The weird thing is that the animation on the screen is still active: say I was writing a text and the little blinking bar keeps blinking as if nothing is wrong but the phone is simply unresponsive.
I did a factory reset and it is still happening.
Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Is it hardware or software related?
Have a read of the freezing thread in general forum, sounds like the operating system is dealing with bad memory blocks.
Well, same thing happens to me, i looked up on that tread about bad memory blocks: well i even tested the memory and works fine, no bad memory sectors, my hardware power button responds to restart (no need to pull out battery). When it does freeze it doesn't unfreeze at all after some time ( i once let it unfreeze for entire night on charger and it stood on the same screen after 8+ hours). I even reinstalled a different software (JB 4.1.3 Darky edition) and it freezes very rarely now but when it does, it's still same kind of freeze. When it freezes it freezes mostly on Twitter app but sometimes random app. I don't know now is it really a faulty memory or just software bugs... btw dummy file didn't freeze my phone (to be clear) after i reinstalled the software, but did it before on old one
Help! Galaxy's freezing!
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have exactly the same model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about three weeks ago, when google play started updating iron man game. I tried dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 2-3 days, but it still freezes, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone. If you know somehing, help me!
after exchanging my phone due to the reboot problem, im encountering a new problem
my screen sometimes turns on by itself, and if i try to operate it at that point, the screen will turn black and nothing is functional except for the soft buttons and the pull down menu, only restart will solve this
sometimes it will also just crash to black even without the screen turning on by itself scenario
does anyone have the same issue? i suspect this is a software problem
I just got the z5 last night, and experienced the same problem this morning. Turns out that if you give the power button a 'double click', the screen comes back on. So this solves the problem reported above.
HOWEVER, there must be a setting (I hope) which we can change, I find it very irritating that as soon as I make a call, the screen goes blank, and you have to double-click the power button to see what is happening. If anyone knows about such a setting, please let us know!
My screen went black about an hour ago.
After Hotspotting for 40ish minutes so I could use my iPhone on the way to work on the train, I tried to check this forum with my Z5C, the back of it was really hot & after a few minutes, the screen went black & the phone was unresponsive for around 20 seconds & then basically unusable once it came back on, for another 20ish seconds, due to lag.

Did you ever find a resolution for this? it is driving me crazy, I've tried factory resets, software repairs via the Sony Companion and this still occurs, sometimes it won't happen for a week then sometimes it happens multiple times in a row even straight after a reboot. The fix that RohitMayor describes does not work on my device. This phone is really terrible compared to the Z3 Compact
I have the same issue. This pb occurs since i have update my phone to 6.0.1...
Any solution ?
First i noticed that whenever i chat with someone over messenger, it starts calling them randomly while i type.
I thought it's about messenger and i cleared the cache and reinstalled it. Problem is still occurring.
Later, i noticed in one game that screen does that touch again - on the very same spot as in messenger - somewhere in the top right corner (where's the call button in messenger).
I turned off the phone, waited 2-3 minutes and then turned it on. Problem is still occurring.
I started service "thing" (found on the internet what to type in the dial to activate it) and tested the touch screen, everything seems to be okay. So from my experience it seems it's not hardware problem. Do you have any suggestion or experience with this kind of problem? I wish i could fix my phone
And one more thing, it happens only when i'm touching the screen too, it wont do that when i leave it alone and just watch the display.
