For a while I was doing this almost every call. Now it happens about 50% of the time.
Am I the only one who accidentally disconnects calls with my chin pressing the "End Call" button?
Is there a fix or am I just not used to this phone....?
(I realize that I am opening myself up to some serious smart ass comments)....
Thanks
Clean off the sensor top left of the screen. It automatically turns off the screen when you have the phone at your face. There is also a setting somewhere to control this. Check that it is on.

It happens to me all the time, I've cleaned the sensor many times and it doesn't help. I think its just a design flaw from them putting it behind the mesh for the speaker, this is also why you can't see the led unless your looking straight at the phone. Luckily I don't make a lot of calls because this device wasn't designed to be a phone, it seems like that was just a feature that was tacked on in the last minute because of the horrible proximity sensor, bad call clarity/speakers and mic
Download myLock utilities (free at the market) and enable 'In Call Screen Lock'. It wont solve the prox issue, which seems to be a software flaw, but it will prevent accidental screen touches. Also, make sure the 'back button' option is checked, since the phone does not have a camera or nav key.

Try Settings->Call Settings->Always Use Proximity.
Sometimes orientation can overrule proximity if that's off so holding it between your cheek and shoulder allows the screen to turn on.
I've found that after I connect the call that pressing the power button to turn off the screen prevents all of these issues

I went to Menu=>Settings=>Call=> and don't see anything that lists "Always Use Proximity".
Can you please walk me through this again? I must be missing a step.
Please note that I am rooted and using Das Bamf 1.8 Remix which might be the problem for not having this option available....

The only problem with that is that it comes back on as soon as the sensor no longer senses your face (unless it doesn't senses it when you shut it off or anytime thereafter)

Kinda OT but damn I hate it when I accidentally call somebody and the screen keeps turning on and off and I can't freaking end call!! i especially hate it when it's to somebody random. arg... just wanted to get that out there... Small price to pay for a touch phone i guess.

Most touch phones don't have this problem, at least none of the 3 I had other than the tbolt. I think this is because of the horrible proximity sensor placement, they shouldn't have put mesh over it.

Putting a mesh over it is a very bad idea. I suppose that why they didn't do that. The sensor is under the glass, at the very top, in the "check mark" part of the Verizon logo. Dust can get in through the small crack at the top of the screen, and cause problems - a shot of air will clean it out.

Maybe its the crappy sensor they use, out of two Motorola and two blackberry phones none had this problem (not all were mine, but I use my wife's phone a good bit) this is my first HTC phone and the longer I have the more its looks like it will be the last also
Hi
I have a Korean Galaxy S2 SHW-250K, and I flashed a XXKH3 firmware on it. Used it for a couple of days, then went ahead and installed MoDaCo GR5 firmware on it. Now while exploring the options, I tried to test out that tilt-to-zoom feature in Gallery, but it didn't work so well. In fact, it more or less didn't work at all despite me checking out all the settings. So I went into Gyro and Horizontal calibration, and noticed something strange. The horizontal calibration dot was moving in jitters despite I had a pretty steady hand holding it. So I went into gyro calibration and noticed that this dot was not moving at all.
I then remembered that when I first got the phone, with Korean firmware and all, I calibrated the sensors and I don't remember seeing the dot ever moving as I calibrated it while placing it on a flat surface.
Now I went into the *#0*# menu and ran the tests. The results are like this:
Gyro sensor Display reading while sitting on a flat surface:

The self test apparently cleared:
The compass also doesn't respond to magnetic fields at all, and more or less rotates with the phone. Tested in a couple other Compass apps, and calibrated it by moving in 8 shape and all, but no avail:
Any idea what's wrong with it? Can it be fixed via software, or is it a hardware issue?
What.. no love?
I have the same issue with my s2
the compass is much more jumpy and less accurate than my old HTC hd2
i hope its not a hardware issue.
Im having the same issue guys.
Horizontal calibration works, but the gyro one doesnt- the blue ball doesnt move!!!!
Same here

any solution, I think i have the same issue
Is this a hardware problem?
I have the same problem too. The compass is not working properly. It's turning in the reverse direction. And pointing to incorrect directions.
Is there any config or app to correct this problem?
Same problem on my Galaxy Note... anyone know how to fix this? Should I return my phone?
I just solved a very similar problem on my colleges SGS2 buy removing it from its case with MAGNETIC catches.
Nobody came up with idea it's nothing wrong with it? It is gyroscope, just put phone on something stable and calibrate to get rid of offset in gyro readings. In other word to make phone know to show zero readings when it has no angular velocity (not rotating).
I'm also having a problem with my shw-m250s. I hope someone can find a solution to this problem. It would be nice if someone made a custom rom based on the official m250s rom.
same problem here, with different roms and kernels..
I have also this problem on my GT-I9100G --' the compass is not accurate as well as when I have bought it 2 mouths ago. Maybe it's a hardware issue caused by magnetic fields caused by charging the battery, I'm not sure of that.
My compass problem
Hi.
If your compass doesn't work, check yours cases. I have magnet within my phone case , and matal parts in my phone was magnet too. It's disturb magnetic field and compass was useless.
And my galaxys s 2 gyroscope not working, have solutions?
I have solvet the problem ( for me )

So i heaved the same problem ( when playing a racing game the car goes left even if you have tilt the phone to right ) i was using the phone whit Snapdragon v2 when this problem occurred ( i don't know why but in 4.1.2 there is no proper calibration ) and after long research on that stuff i flashed some random 4.0.4 costume ROM (because i can't find stock ICS ) i calibrate it and everything worked like a charm / Then i installed again Snapdragon and everything still works perfect. So try some old ICS or Gingerbread ROM's
checked with sensor kinectis app ..sensor is working ..but the direction it suggests in any app is like captains jack sparrow's compass
Never worked for me
I also have a S2 and the compass never worked.
I downloaded several apks and none worked.
I flashed some roms (latest is cyanogen), and this doesn't help - the compass still doesn't work.
The compass is base in a magnetic sensor, inside the phone, and it doesn't work.
The gps-based compass is, in reality, a compass based in calculations made when you are moving with gps enabled, and it doesn't use the internal magnetic sensor.
That's more than one year i have this s2.
Today, I have found something that can help, bus, as I can't post external links in the forum, do this:
Open youtube.
Add, to the address ( after the .com): /watch?v=Rak2xhnk0qE
Hope this help
Ok heres my problem.
I have an unlocked atrix running on redpill and this morning i noticed that i have a "dead line" across my screen. About 1 inch down on my screen there is about a centimeter space where the touch does not register. So I downloaded a touch test and it sometimes does not register at all and sometimes it registers even when I'm not touching it.
I also checked and the screen is flat across (no dents/cracks etc...).
Do you think that this is a hardware or a software problem?
And any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
Try flashing the pds image. There's a thread about that in General.
I cant find that post i've been looking for an hour and a half, can you help me with a link?
sorry...
Also will reflashing my rom help?
Ah, you asked nicely..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649
Try flashing another rom, you never know. Doubt it though..
We have the same problem I think. I missed this thread and started a new one.
After installing Faux's 2.0 enhanced kernal on my CM7, I now have a dead region of my touchscreen which is a little above the middle of the screen, 1/4 inch all the way across (horizontally). I verified this by using the touch test app from the market.
It is also very obvious as scrolling is extremely laggy.
I have already tried wiping my phone with fastboot, performing the PDS fix, and then wiping again in recovery and reinstalling CM7.

You can see the dead space, very frustrating.
I have even tried flashing back to 1.83 using fruitcakes, then downloading the official moto gingerbread update so I am as close to stock as can be other than being unlocked and still no go.
Is this a hardware failure (that others are having too apparently?)

although the OTA update is essentially the same thing, i would say your last glimpse of hope is using rsd lite to flash a gingerbread sbf. (2.3.4 sbf file, just to clarify)
and if that doesn't work, at least your phone will be in a completely stock state to go in for a warranty replacement?
Just flashed it, i'll check back in later

Well I just felt like a fool.
I did absoloutely nothing from yesterday (when I went back to 100% stock, reset phone) to today.
At 1:30, I did the same test with Touch Test and got the same dead zone. By the time I got to ATT for a warranty exchange, the screen worked flawlessly. Other than turning on airplane mode and having an extremely low battery @ 5% I did nothing in that hour.
I'd rather have the problem come back at this point and get a new phone than it work fine until my warranty ends and i'm stuck with a dud.
My dead spot is a little higher... but same thing.
Can you think of anything that happened to the phone that would damage it like this. My wife plays coin dozer (there is a lot of tapping) and the dead spot is around that area.
And wow that's bad luck. Mine was going on and off (more dead then alive). Did yours die again or is it back to normal?
I just want to figure out if this is a software or a hardware problem.
On another note i just flashed redpill v4 and it hasent happened yet... maybe. I can only hope...
Well, my phone fixing it self was only temporary.
After going home and doing nothing to my phone other than charging it, the dead zone is back.
This is a hardware issue for sure, the digitizers seem to be failing after some time.
Get a replacement.
thanks.
more money into this phone...

"Screen Touch Sensitivity | Fixed touch-screen ghosting and phantom touch events."
Your digitizer connector is cracked.
prove it by pushing on the top left above the glass and use touch test and watch the difference. You need a new digitizer it cost $60 and about 30min to an hour of work.
What's the difference should be? One time touchscreen wasn't reacting but only one time. But how could it prove digitiser problem?

because that's where the digitizer connector is, and pushing on the screen there will cause it to move.
when mine cracked, it caused it to double the effected area when I was to push there.
also, I had made a typo in my previous post.
it's the top left, not top right; i apologize.

I have from 2 to 5 ghost fingers, which a) moving horizontally toward the edges of dead zone, b) located motionless at the edges of the dead zone. What behaviour of screen should be if I press that point on the healthy phone?
Is it what I need to replace?

These chinese devices are awesome for their price! I got a chinese Jiayu phone that works nicely. but uh too bad about your sour egg. Best option - return it for full refund or replacement. Other options:
1. contact JXD
http://jxd.hk/
Voice phone: +86 755 8397 3170
[email protected]
[email protected]
2. if the touch screen or physical controls work, then do a 'factory reset' under System Settings and power off and power on. (google it...)
3. if there is physical volume button, then when power is OFF, hold volume UP and power on. or try to hold volume DOWN and power on. hopefully :fingers-crossed: you get a screen like this

. (taken from this blog.) Another way is to hold either volume button and then connect USB cable (still holding volume button). You got golden profit now. :victory: That is recovery mode. You can do a data wipe in there and install the latest firmware from JXD. Choose the right firmware FILE for your model. (google it...)
4. can you remove the battery? if so, remove the battery, disconnect all cables, press power button for 10 seconds, let go of power button, insert battery, and power on
5. you can google and search inside this xda site. "jxd 7800 hardware" or "jxd 7800 touch fix" or something like that. I found "dingoonity" forums and wiki.
good luck & cheers with a beer mate.
*EDIT* -- Here is a youtube video of my JXD device playing an included game "Monster Shooter - Lost Levels" in its stock rom Unfortunately, the touch screen sometimes stops responding to physical touches (my finger). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju44OWs6G2I

I found the main chip controlling the analogue sticks on these devices can sometimes be poorly soldered. I had a similar issue and fixed it by reflowing the solder. The analogue control chip can be seen here....
https://www.flickr.com/photos/plymouthbiker/22084151708/in/dateposted-friend/
My fix was to resolder the bottom right pin seen here....
https://www.flickr.com/photos/plymouthbiker/22259048902/in/dateposted-friend/
But of course it might be different on yours. So check all connections and chips for poorly soldered points.
Best get a good magnifying glass and look up close to see if any are poorly soldered. If you have the skill to do it without shorting out any of the connections, it's an easy fix. But be careful as you could very easily wreck the device for good with a blob of solder in the wrong place.

Once again, it might be the soldering. Check inside the device. There are a couple of videos on how to dismantle it floating around online. Be careful dismantling it as the ribbon cables are very delicate. once you've broken a ribbon cable its near impossible to replace as parts are rare online. Once broken the only general option is a new device and sell yours for parts. So honestly when I say take care I mean CAREFUL!!!! See the picture links I've just posted for the chip issue that you might be experiencing. Or something closely related.
I found as my device heated up, the expansion of the metal inside created a loose connection where the solder wasn't correctly done on the motherboard. Re-flowing or adding a tiny bit extra solder is the only way to fix any poor connections. (SKILL REQUIRED NOT TO SHORT ANYTHING)
Also while doing this make sure all the ribbon connections and correctly seated when putting the device back together.
Best of luck.

I have the same problem. I assume it might be a hardware issue, as long as only the lower third of the screen is affected. My screen only starts flickering when on low brightness only (<20%). Also, if I set the brightness the lowest possible setting, the RGB color balance seems to be distorted and shifted to the green (the screen seems 'greenish').
I've had this phone for over a year. The problem manifested a couple months ago, maybe in Oct-Nov 2015 and has been pretty stable since then.
Same problem. Just up your brightness a bit.

@MOMO1265 yes it's probably a hardware problem because i used to have epsilROM when i encountered this problem for the first time and i reinstalled the official firmware and it didn't help and i've sent an email to samsung and they couldn't help me all they said is that it's probably because of the custom rom i used to have all they will tell you to do is to replace the screen and it's probably your fault not their ****ty materials fault...maybe if there's an international email to samsung we can send our complaint to,maybe they will be more helpful
Samsung does nothing about it
I have the same problem so sent it back under Samsung warranty and they did nothing. They claimed to have repaired it but the problem is still occurring. Anyone have a fix? Anything would help. Thanks
Possible solution...
I had the same problem, seems like enabling soft-key back light solves the issue. I installed Screen Filter app and now, if I set the filtering to 50% from the app an brightness to 2 on Auto, no flickering happens. The app also helps if you want a dimmer screen than the standard minimum brightness setting can give you.
I hope it helps.
Replaced the screen ...still happening!!
A couple of months ago before my warranty got expired i went to samsung and they changed my screen. intially the problem disappeared but it came back recently and i don't know what to do.
