Hi All,
I have a Galaxy S2 i9100 - Samsung XWLP7 [ROM] and would like to ask if anybody has the same problems.
Sometimes when I want to unlock my screen it responds to my touch on the screen but when I'm dragging it loses my touch and just picks it up as another touch on the screen.
But at most times when I try to unlock again it responds well, and when it is unlocked, I have no problems with the touchscreen or whatsoever.
Thanx!
I'm getting the same issue with the touch screen as well sometimes no response, been flashing a few roms over the weeks and its still a little glitchy maybe faulty screen will keep trying for a few days and see if i can get it sent back under warranty via stock rom, currently using dexter rom huge improvements throughout the phone great rom still got a touch issue though

I hope it's not a hardware issue! But I'm fairly sure it's not because after unlocking it works fine!
It looks like it's not sensitive enough.
Just watch your fingers when you unlock it, and dont let go to early, try to make it a straight line from begening to end, that should solve your problem, dont forget the most important thing, say thanks
Did you guys try to use any 3rd party locker apps???
Use the code given below to test your screen.....

This sucks... out of the blue my touch screen went all kinds of screwy on me. I'm gonna list everything that is going wrong...
1. When sending a text I can see the letters along the bottom of the keyboard scrolling back and forth really fast, as if I'm dragging my finger across it.
2. When on any of the home screens, it's acting like I'm pinching it, like the new sense screen selector thing keeps zooming in and out but I can't select anything.
3. I can't select items on any of the home screens, it is action like I have my palm resting on it or something...
4. When I select something on a menu, it acts like the input is a couple of inches below my finger (i.e. I select power off, it selects turn off mobile network)
If I press the power button to turn off the screen, I can press it again and ulock it, I have full functionality for about 5 seconds, then it freaks out again. This seems to be consistent, however annoying to have to do this all the time to send a text message.
This first happened while using the latest ChronosDroid ROM (CronosDroid_2.1.2), I reflashed with VillainROM 12.0.0 twice, and once with the newer RCMixV10, the symptoms are the same accross all ROMs, the only similarities is that they're all v 2.1 with Sense. I did a wipe of everything before each install.
I am going to try going back to v2.0 with some other ROM (probably SenseHERO-2.1-090610-B5, cuz I liked that interface...) I'll post back if that fixes it... If it doesn't, what can I do? I really like this phone, I hope it's not busted...
***Edit***
Purchased new digitizer and replaced it, all is back to normal.
I had this problem with cronos froyo, wiped everything and flashed fusion rom 6.1.1 and hey presto, everything was fine. Try it it may work for you aswell if not, something more sinister may be at work :$

I'll give that a try. I had flashed to that version before to test it out, but that was before the screen was all messed up. I used the hard OCed version to 710, I'll try the SOC version this time and see if I have better luck.
I did flash with the aforementioned sense hero, and it is still a little bit messed up, but it doesn't seem as bad... I wonder if the OC from the Froyo is partly to blame. This is just so random... That is the only link I can think of. If the Fusion 6.1.1 is the cause, how can I make sure the CPU is back at it's default frequency? I never use any OC tools...
K, response is a little better but still jacked. I think I have a nand backup thing from before I installed Froyo, I've never had to restore a backup before, is it a bad idea to restore a backup from v2.1 on a 2.2 ROM? Or should I restore the backup and reflash to something else?
Restoring to a 2.1 from 2.2 will be fine mate, which Rom is the 2.1 you have as nandroid restore?

Unfortunately this is a hardware problem. I have the same problem and after searching for a solution, I understand that this is something about display's touch part and you have to return it to HTC to change it.
In my country there is no valid HTC center and I cannot trust lcal repair shops so I have to deal with it and change my beloved hero in near future.
But for now, after installing different ROMs I find out that the best keyboard is default HTC sense keyboard and I dont know why. Currently I've installed Froydvillain 1.2.2 and use HTC_mod keyboard and it almost works for me with a bit struggle.

Just do this yourself. You can buy the touch window off eBay for £25, and replacing it will take 20 minutes - see youtube for videos.
Have had same problems which then lead to the bottom 1/2 to 1cm of my screen becoming completely unresponsive. I managed to get my screen back to perfect working order without replacing it at all as this seems to be caused by the screen slightly coming away from the frame.
I detailed how i sorted it in this thread:-
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7710742&postcount=99
I had this problem with CMH-1.4.3 (Vanilla). I did a nand restore to VR12 but the same happened. Then I realised that the screen was a little up from his "standard" position let's say, if the screen is normally like this
______ <-screen
mine was slightly up (diagonally) at the top
_____-
I pressed the two upper corners of the screen with my fingers and everything went back to normal
Try this first, and then if you want, the Hairdryer solution
to all guys having the same issue, did you guys try to fully wipe & re partition your sdcard? try it & let see it still having same issue. best try do a clean flash of rom.

Interesting indeed. I did not see that my screen was raised at all. I have formatted, used a new microSD thinking it could be anything. When the screen goes wonky, I can set it on the table and it will continue to type in random characters until I hit the power button.
This isn't isolated to one area of the screen though, and pressing the phone together making sure the screen isn't raised does nothing to fix it. I think the digitizer is just going on vacation. Laying it down, it will keep typing in letters, if I hover my finger about 1 cm from the screen it will sense that my finger is there and interrupt the auto imput fuction that has been enabled, but doesn't stop it permanantly until I press the power button and unlock it again, then it all starts over.
I've taken the device apart and reseated everything and it didn't help. I think I'm going to take a chance and order a new digitizer from eBay. I really like this phone, don't want to have to get a new one.

I didn't see a support forum. Is there a better place to ask about this kind of thing on the Hero? I thought it was a software problem, which is why I posted here.

Ah, thank you. Again wasn't sure if this was a bug in the rom, or I screwed up the hardware or something.
On a lighter note, I ordered a new digitizer from eBay for $65, got it in today and replaced it and it's back to 100% functionality!!!! w00t!! Thank you all for your help and suggestions, XDA is the best thing to hit mobile phones since the wheel! I'll update the title of the first post to notate that it is fixed.
Hi first of all sorry about my English.
Ok my phone has an at&t froyo i just install superuser, slide loading, the weptop hack and the sim unlocked.
I'm using spb 3d launcher and every time i do a restart it seems that the spb it's working on his on, if a let it awake charging some times it's go to some shortcut like if i press it but i didn't (that didn't bother me too much ).
but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.
Please help any one
I reset my phone and still the same parts of the screen does not respond and the screen start shaking and doing thing uncontrol.
Please could be sw or is the hardware and i need to change the phone.
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Not sure what the problem could be.....there's a girl I know who's had similar problems, I'll ask her or put you in touch with her. Sounds like yer digitizer?

I am having the same issue, this was on CM7 only flashed yesterday and then I tried to restore my backup rom and this has the same issue??
Hope someone can sort out the problem.
It sounds like a hardware problem in which you should;
A) buy a whole new screen and install it (they will give you the tools to take it apart)
B) Send it back to Motorola if you haven't voided your warranty by unlocking the phone
or
C) this is a long shot as I do think it is hardware related, you should try this fix just to be sure that it is a hardware problem. Mind you this will do nothing more than refresh the .pds file that affects the touchscreen. Touchscreen fix!
definetly sounds like a broken digitizer to me
I have taken my phone in for repair(Not a official MOTO repairer) and I just got a phone call, he believes it is a software issue? I am not convinced, because I have tried 4 different roms? He said he is going to format/wipe phone. I told him I have installed roms to replace software and I thought that this would wipe/replace software problem?
Anyway I guess, I will found out if it sorts out the random screen movement and widget press?

I got the phone back yesterday, all working ok.
I quickly broke it again by trying to install a stock rom and then root it, but it introduced the same random screen/widget issues(I tried wipe/format, but no good?). I then install 2 custom rom, CM7 and Aura and I still had problems, then I install HomeBase and problem has been sorted. Have no idea why it fixed the issue just happy it is fixed. Just to have refrain from installing other roms......for now anyway

I spoke to soon, last night it started the random screen judder and random widget pressing.....
I am not sure what is going on....I've had the phone for about 12 days now(second hand from eBay) and for the first 4-5 days the phone was fine. I then installed CM7 and for about 12-24 hours the phone was ok. Then the random screen/widget issues happened. Did many, many wipe's/formats of various roms and all these issue occurred more or less straight away.
Then I installed HomeBase and for about 6-8 hours, all was ok until lastnight. I guess it is either new motherboard time or new phone time....
Hey guys, so I just updated my att galaxy s2 via kies to android ICS however after that I've ran into some problems.
After updating however I encountered a period where the screen went black and the phone kinda just died on me. After restarting I began to encounter some problems. For some reason, whenever the phone goes to sleep and and then wakes up, my screen gets flipped upside down and the screen gets really bright. Despite that, I still have to press the screen like usual. Which means that if the call button is at the top after flipping, I still have to press the bottom of my screen. Also the screen isn't perfectly flipped and there is space above the top bar.
However, the phone does work fine on bootup, and only fails after it sleeps. Also, very recently my phone just went through a screen repair after the screen cracked under the glass, but otherwise that I have no clue what's going on.
Is this just a poor repair and a hardware problem or is their another problem here?
Also I've tried a factory reset and that didn't help.
Thanks for any help you can give.
(Hopefully I got the right board)

There are alot of things that could go wrong when flashing ROMs.
All of the custom ROMs here have built in safeguards which allow users to recover from issues involved with flashing. The same cannot be said about stock builds.
Unfortunately, your options are limited if you're going to stay stock. You can either try a factory reset and re-installing the update via KIES or you can call AT&T. That's pretty much it.
Personally, i'd Mobile Odin a rooted package with CWM and start flashing some of the wonderful work the developers have graciously allowed us to partake.

OP, I agree with the sentiment here, but you can't use mobile odin until your are already rooted. One option you could follow the guide linked in my signature to root the phone and go from there.
My personal suggest is that if you're running stock ROM, updating an official stock ROM and having problem, I call the provider for help.
My download and install went fine but I incounterd some unusual problems afterwards. My phone doesn't always keep a data signal while browsing the internet and a phone reboot makes it return. Setting browsers home to Google instead of default AT&T doesn't stick. I also had few dropped calls and very low signal bars in status bar at my house which gingerbread gave me full ones.

What android version are you on?
Have you rooted/unlocked your bootloader?
What ROM are you using?
What kernel are you using?
What other modifications have you done?
What was the last thing you did before this problem occured?
well my bad because of short explaination
i am running android 4.0.4, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with AOSP rom. the last thing i'd remember was flashing the rom. i think maybe because i have dropped my phone on the floor, so the hardware become malfunction. just my assumption.

You dropped the phone, and now its not working....its not too hard to figure out what happened.
The screen is broke and no amount of flashing will bring it back.
Its time to put your hand in your pocket and pay to get it fixed. If you can afford to take it back to the shop then try ebay to get a screen and fit it yourself.
well thats great. thanks for helping me throughout this thing. will try to solve this problem ASAP.
well,
With due respect, i would let all of u guys to know that i have been suffering from touch problem with xperia neo MT15i. the problem is that when i want to unlock my phone with slide lock than the touch does not response properly! i mean i need to slide the lock for several time through my thumb. is not it bothering? despite it , whenever i can manage to unlock my phone by sliding over, initially the touch does not respond smoothly! suppose, whenever i go to the apps drawer instantly after unlocking, the app or game start while i try to slide over to go to the next apps drawer! that means on which app or game my thumb touches for sliding and going in next page, my phones receives that i wanted to stat the game or app! please help me! please!!!!!!! please response my sms!!! i ardently request to all the XDA guys!!!

Just want to say that same thing is happening to me last few weeks with same phone. Thing is, it didn't worked worse and worse, but it just worked well one day, and the other day it was terrible, and it still works equally terrible. I never rooted or flashed my phone and never sleeped on it so I think that's not the problem.
Hope you can help us..

Hey, I'm having the same issue with my Xperia Neo (MT15i). :crying:
My phone is nearly 2 years old. I have used Gingerbread, then ICS, Jelly Bean (Rooted-Cyanagenmod). I had no issue with the touch screen earlier. Since the phone performs bit slow on advanced android versions I decided to install Gingerbread again to make it faster.
From the day I installed GB again, I'm having this issue.
Gotta swipe about 4 times to answer or reject a call. (Even I do press power button to off the screen, then power button again only then swipe works)
Swipe about 4 times to unlock the screen.
Try the pattern about 4 times.
I believe it's a software issue. If it's a hardware issue touch screen should not be working at all right? The thing is, it only malfunctions like that for the first 4~5 touches when the screen turned on. After that the whole touch screen works perfectly.
I was using my phone rooted for a long time without any issue. This started when I tried to flash gingerbread again in last month. I flashed another gingerbread tft, but the problem still remains.
Today I flashed the kernel to FusioN v5.5 and installed MIUI 5, still the issue is there...

i am totally confused bro what to do!!! on a very day i went to a hardware technicians shop to solve the problem!! they said it may be hardware problem but did not say surely!!!!!!! i am looking forward a kind help from any expert of this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm having the same.i have tried anything but still same issue.
Hello people!
I had the same problem when 2 of my friends tried to pull the phone vigorously! -_-
I had to swipe 4-5 to get it to respond and the screen would act weird for another couple of seconds! -_-
Tried Factory Reset etc but still no use!
So I took it to the service center and they said it could be the digitizer(screen) problem but not sure, and that it would cost 4k for that!
Fortunately I had another problem with the sound setting on my phone so I gave it back to them to solve that at least. They flashed the phone with latest ftf(some GB ftf at the time) and gave back the phone saying they couldn't solve the sound issue.
BUT to my surprise/luck my screen prob was fixed! And I dint pay them a single pie!
So I think y'all should try flashing the Stock ftf, preferably ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and its Kernel
Here is the link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952333
