I have a really strange problem with the touchscreen. When i touch it with one finger and hold my finger in the same location without moving it on the screen for 20-50sec, my touch is not recognized anymore at this location. Around this location my touch is "seen" by the screen, but not at the specific location. After a few seconds trying to touch the screen at the dead location, it "repairs" itself and everything works fine again.
That is a real problem when you want to play a game like reckless racing 2. There you need to hold the finger at the accelerate-button the whole time and after a few seconds it doesnt work anymore. Has someone experienced the same issue? The best way testing it is with a multitouch tester app .
I would be very thankful if someone could test it. Maybe i have a faulty device.
Im using a german razr with the latest android 2.3.6 firmware.
You can see a video of the problem here at vimeo.com/37909738
Something like this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467696
Thanks for the link. This really looks like the problem i have. This seems to be a feature? A feature which makes playing some games on the razr almost impossible .

Hello there,
I have a qeustion:
My HD2 with the software in my sig, sometimes wont respond when i try to unluck it, or sometimes i cant press the W on the onscreen keyboard, could it be that the place where the W is on the onscreen keyboard, is broken?
Or could it be something with the ROM/Radio?
It also happends that the screen doesnt function at all, also the sensor doesnt flip my screen, i have this witl almost all HD2 ROMS, just pick one WM or Android and it does this frequently.
But sometimes there is nothing wrong, i can easy unlock and also press the W again.
Any tips?
Thanks!
No one?
Seems no one knows how to help
Ill be flashing stock SPL and ROM and return it to the store.
I think it is the screen it self, the little part where the W key is doesnt register touch anymore. (if someone says this could not happen for example, that would help, cause i dont kow if only a "part" of a touchscreen can be broken).
apparently is definitely hardware issue.

Hi there!
First time I need to make a topic, as I don't find the answer anywhere..
Had my Touchpad since about two weeks.
However the accelerometer has not functioned at all since I got it.
First thing to check is the auto rotation lock -> it's turned off
Second thing I did was download a sensor visualizer app -> Seismograph.. This shows very weird results for the x-axis (see attached file), fyi, the Y and Z-axis functioned as expected..
Then the third thing I tried, Need For Speed Hot Persuit... A game that uses the X-axis accelerometer (right!?)
This works brilliant!
Other things I have done to troubleshoot this:
Restart the device.
Full reset the device.
Run HP doctor.
All have failed in resolving my problem.
As I've bought the touchpad from a french webstore (fnac.com), HP Netherlands (where I'm from) tells me I need to get back to them for a solution, as they don't offer worldwide repair (unlike ASUS for example).
Fnac.com has not answered to my request to exchange the product (2 days after I got it). And actually I just want to solve it myself if possible, bought it for fun anyways (and reading of course xD)
Any ideas how I can make the OS recognize the accelerometer?
Last thing, the auto rotation functions in the following way: Tablet is stuck in landscape, I turn to portrait, screen turns as well, but within the second the tablet is back in landscape. This behavior can be read from the seismograph screenshot.
Thanks!
Hello
I just started a new thread for a different accelerometer problem (it is just dead)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284760
Was wondering how you ended up fixing your problem.
thanks
Just wanted to ask you the same question...
I still have the same problem. Need to contact Fnac.fr, but my french sucks and my time is scarce. So have been postponing this. My unit actually came DOA.. however Fnac didn't respond to my request, and has now asked me to call them.. sucky service
You have no solution I guess?
Well this is odd..
Out of nothing the auto rotate function is working since today.. I noticed it while reading a PDF in Android. Booting back to WebOS didn't make a difference, the sensor is working again
I've got no clue what did the trick.. I have not updated the kernel or something like that lately.
I wonder if the sensor was kicked back into action by brute force (for instance my cat jumping on the tablet..)
Anyway, problem soved for now =D
So I got my phone almost two weeks ago when It got released.. Basically it's amazing and everything works fine except that when I play Temple run or Magic Piano these two games that I tried out are so good and they run smoothly but the speaker gives me cracked sounds like I can't hear smooth sound coming out from the speaker without cracking up I tried to use a headphone and restart my phone, hard reset and it's still the same. I don't know why I get this issue I saw few people they were saying that temple run and magic piano works so fine with them. Not sure if it's a hardware issue.
---
My device also heats a lot when using it, like playing a game or just browsing and listening to songs nothing that uses lot's of graphics or anything but I get lot's of overheating issues. Could it also be a battery issue or that's normal?
I'll be taking it to service tonight to check it up It's so unusual and I don't like how it's really bad although it's a new phone and I don't use it a lot.
Thanks
Yes from what you have mentioned, it looks like you have a defective unit and they can replace the device. The behavior is not normal.
same problem
i recently bought the s3 and im having the same problem.. apart from this the phone screen tends to be a bit yellow when im using whats app.. what did the samsung guy say to when you took the phone to the service station??
Same again...
Snap. I've had my Galaxy S3 since last Saturday and have exactly the same issue. So far it seems to affect Temple Run, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Magic Piano and Real Racing 2. All of them have crackled, distorted sound that makes them near unplayable with the sound turned on.
Bizzarely this is the only thread I can find that even mentions the issue! Please can you let us know what Samsung's feedback is?
temple run with and without headphones gives perfect sound for me
solved... or not?
try doing a factory data reset.. it worked for me.. but someone i spoke to said that the problem came back after a while.. after he installed a launcher... i dont know if using a launcher causes this problem but as of now.. running stock touch wiz... both temple run and magic piano work fine..
Hey guys..I have a brand new s3 and it is also exhibiting the same issues with temple run. The sound shutters ( would appreciate if anyone found a fix to this.. I have a galaxy s3 white international version.

3 weeks old S3. Cracking noises when I used the speaker during phone calls.
When other party speaks => clear
When I speak => crack, crack, crack especially the first few words
Tried setting call quality, no improvement. Not sure if this is a hardware issue?
I had the same issue, but aparently this had something to do with one of the updates. Yesterday's update solved this issue.
Temple run runs without any issue.smooth.will be checking other games too after downloading

Well guyz even I was facing the same problem but I finally figured out whats the exact issue...All u need to do is go to settings ----> Sound ----> Disable Auto Heptic or click on auto heptic ----> Mark the application you want it to be disabled for.
Well one more thing...Its is turned off by default so if you will reset your phone it will work ....I happened to turn it on accidentally without knowing whats exactly it is and I am sure that most of you must have did the same thing....!!!!

Good for you. My heptic feedback is always off. Still have speaker cracking.
Just did a factory reset. Have to monitor and see if it solves the problem.

I'm getting the exact same issue with the games above...haven't seen the issue arise with any other apps so I'm not too worried however it would be great if a fix was found
Edit: Just tried turning off auto haptic in sound settings and strangely enough this actually fixes this problem for me :s
It's a common fault, return the unit and get a new one.
Gob done.

To fix that, you have to open S-Voice> Settings> uncheck Launch S-Voice by double tapping home button
Thanks everybody. I had the problems with home button lag and temple run and the fixes described here worked perfectly.

Hi
I have this very weird problem with my Galaxy S2G. My gyro sensor stops working. This is happening for the 5th time. Just to clarify this is not only with the orientation problem. I cannot motion sensor games like Temple run, Bounce, etc.... Every time this happens i have to go back to gb stock rom. Calibrate the sensors. At that point it starts working. This problem is not to a specific rom. On all roms i face this problem. Is there a permanent solution for this? Every now and then it is very irritating to flash stock gb and calibrate the sensors. Hoping to find a permanent solution. Guys help :fingers-crossed:
I have browsed through all the threads and couldn't get a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance for your support.
I have a Lenovo z2 plus whose bootloader I recently unlocked, installed twrp, installed viper os (android - 7.1.2) and rooted it. whenever I try to use my phone (since the last evening) , the touch works for about 2 seconds and then stops working(every time) . I was thinking it might be a software/rom issue but when I close the Screen and before opening I keep my thumb at the portion near the front camera/speaker part pressed and then open the phone, then the touch works fine till I remove my thumb from there. When I remove my thumb, then again the touch stops working. Then to make the touch work for more than 2 sec again , I need to shut the screen off and do the thumb thing again. Due to this I'm thinking this might be a hardware issue but it were a hardware issue, then why does the touch stop working exactly about after 2 seconds without the thumb thing and touch starts working every time I open the screen with the thumb thing again till the time I remove it . And due to that timing thing it seems like it might be a software issue. All the other buttons are working perfectly. I really don't want the factory reset the phone till it's really necessary due to all the data and stuff. Can anyone please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Manan
Are you able to fix now?

HI Manan,
Are you able to fix permanently? I tried to hold between speaker and front camera but not seeing that touch is working. Can you please share some pic pointing where exactly to touch? Also are you pressing hard or lightly? Please share how to do that?
Also later are you able to resolve the issue? Did you change digitizer etc. Did it worked normally? Please let me know.
Regards
Anil
Workaround
I tried one workaround indicated by someone else on another thread. Follow below steps
Press power button to put screen off
Hold phone in left hand and put left thumb on screen
Press power button to start screen
Touch with right hand fingers
It will work till left thumb is there on screen..
If touch is lost follow from step one
Atleast this helps alot instead of only 2-3secs stuff..
Thanks to one who indicated this workaround

As said in above post, please follow workaround if you are getting issue still.
For my case after couple of days, it started working normally. Sometimes that issue comes again, but i use workaround to use the phone.
I have the same issue! Please provide where you found this solution and workaround. Did you have to change screen?
