Portions of touch screen unresponsive - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My fascinate has this issue of parts of the screen usually the middle not being responsive to touch. For example if I was doing the pattern lock, when I go to the middle, it would say that I did the pattern wrong like if I took off my finger mid way doing the pattern. If I was say browsing the settings, it wouldn't respond to my swipes in the middle to scroll. Or my favorite when texting. The keys in the middle of the keyboard would not respond to my touch only the sides. If I press enough times, it will register my press. The only thing that would fix this unresponsiveness is to turn the screen on and off. From what I've seen this doesn't happen with the stock roms just with anything else that I flash. I've been flashing since the early gingerbread leaks and with every single rom, I had this problem. Do you guys think its a digitizer problem? I am using currently AOKP milestone 5 glitched.

[Q] Slide to Unlock Problem

I just got my Dell Streak a week ago, I really like it so far, but I've had a pretty vexing problem come up today.
I had it in Silent mode, and when I woke up the screen and went to "Slide to Unlock", the whole bottom of the screen was unresponsive. I had to let the screen time out and try it again at least three times.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running the Stock 2.2 on Rogers, and using ADW Launcher Pro as my launcher. No other major UI Tweaks.
I can confirm that I do experience that problem sometimes. The S2U moves just a little bit, but but I can't slide it all the way over. I'm also using LP+ as my default launcher. I guess it would be a good test to run the Stage UI as a test to see if it's related to LP+ or not.

I had this same problem, but I noticed that it only occurred if I had the screen facing my leg when it was in my pocket.
I think that what is happening is that when it's in your pocket it still detects screen presses by your leg, and then it gets confused, and won't detect any more screen presses for a long time.
To begin with it stopped me from answering calls and was really annoying, but now I just make sure I put it in my pocket with the screen facing out and it works fine.
Yall need to recalibrate ur screen that helped mine never to be unresponsive again! Search for the guide on here cant remember the button combo to get to it i think it was hold camera and power at the same time when turning on but dont hold me to that just search xda its on here
recalibrate the screen, and also its created by the friction/heat from rubbing off your leg (wahay), so either have the screen facing out, or buy a case for it
Since i recalibrated my screen i can have it any way i want in my pocket and it never hangs anymore
Download menu unlock from the market. It will unlock when you hit menu

That's exactly what happened to me all day today! I had it in my jeans pocket with the screen facing my leg! I thought it may have something to do with ADW Launcher, or having it in silent mode all day. I'm recalibrating the screen now!
Mucho Thanks!

[Q] Mozart Lock Screen lag

My brand new unbranded Mozart has terrible lock screen lag issues. Phone was perfect to start with then after the usual updates and 2 days later, is proving very hard to release the lock screen. I need to wait at least 5s until the phone starts responding. I have noticed it does the same when on the phone (i.e when the screen senses proximity and goes blank). anyone no of this phone having wake up problems etc.?
Quick update - if I swipe up the left hand side of the screen the lag seems to vanish! (for that unlock only).
i.e swipe with index finger from the bottom left above the back arrow upwards and the Mozart seems to respond better!
Wierd but true. Just wondered up this works for anyone else experiencing the same problem.
The lock screen hasn't been responsive on mine. Strangely, once passing the lock screen, the screen is responsive, so shouldn't be a hardware problem right ?
Then I installed the new update and I can't get through the lock screen anymore. It responded to some flicks, but never completely unlock. But the rest of the interface (after doing a reset) is responding as good as always.
A test using the camera button, the screen needed two and a half minutes before responding. That's more than twice the time needed to response from a reboot

i having the same problem...
Huhhhh
same TT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsRtofL9DQA << That's mine.
i have a tmo_de mozart, and when i flashed it with an unbranded rom, problems with the screen lag appeared, now i flashed tmo_de back and its as good as its supposed to, after 1 month
Had all kinds of touch screen lag problems with my friends Mozart, but lastnight i flashed the stock ROM again and it seems to have VASTLY improved it!
It was like the above video, but now its a million times better, but still misses the odd first swipe when unlocking.

Touchscreen functions without touching it directly

My evo 4g lte has been wonderful with MeanROM. I have noticed one peculiar thing with the capacitive touch screen. When I brush my finger slightly above the panel and not touching it, functions activate. Or sometimes when I'm entering data I'll make a motion toward the screen but not touch it and it triggers. This is disconcerting because I'm afraid that I'll dial out inadvertently or save any entry when I'm not intending to. Have any of you noticed this same behavior? Is there something wrong with my touch screen? Also, this behavior exhibited itself even when the ROM was stock.
I tried doing the recalibration on the keyboard but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Jon

its normal. happens on mine and my original evo. these screens are crazy sensitive. just gotta get used to it
You obviously have some psychic powers!!
It's because the screen and most touchscreen these days are capacitive. They rely on electrical impulses that the body naturally gives out therefore you can be close to the screen and without touching it, it'll register the touch

Touch Screen Issues

having a problem with my touch screen. i've factory reset, wiped, and have even flashed a few different roms, i'm convinced the problem is with my phone and i'm hoping it's not broken. i turned on the touch indicator option and can see that sometimes when i wake my phone there is already input on the very center of my screen, almost where the Sense unlock ring would be. if i'm touching the edge of my screen and wake it happens a lot more often, and i was just playing with it and i'm able to make this occur by touching where the screen meets the bezel. anyone have any suggestions? it's really annoying, it'll open apps, unlock my phone, hang up calls, ect. thanks for any time in reading this and any suggestions you may have!

I had the same issue with my Samsung Gal ( the org) and ended up having to get it replaced at Verizon. But again i also had the issue on my DINC and that was just some dirt after taking it apart and cleaning everything was good to go...other then that it very well could be the screen

[Q] My HTC One's touch is acting weird...

So, this thing drives me crazy...I've tried everything I knew and still nothing solved this problem.
I'm using HTC One. About 10 days ago weird things with touch started to happen. It seems that touch is partly unavailable/unresponsible on touch in one or two small areas. It seems to me like theres an empty place on my touch. Visualy is everything fine. Screen is crystal clear and has no damages or scratches. But I can't slide icons without troubles. Somwhere on 1/4 of screen, touch brakes briefly and I need another try to slide the icon. The same thing happens with status bar on the top of screen - I can slide it until that 1/4 part and it stops there and goes back. If I slide it quick with short move, it works fine, just slide alone over problematic area.
Also, few times I had that problem where screen works things on itself will. Makes pictures, or adds filters on Instagram, or, I don't know, just jumps around for few secons. Then, I lock the screen, then unlock it and usually that calm down the screen.
Also weird thing is that, when I want to send message, I can't reach "send" button in first try. I have to drop down writing sheet, than to touch the letters to put it in writing mode again, and then I can click the "send" button. On the same place where it was previously!
At first, I thought that plastic case or PVC protection is the problem, so I took off the protector from the screen. That solved problem for a bit. Then, I put back screen guard, and problem came back. After I totally rejected screen guard, problem is still here. I've tried to reset phone on factory, but that wasn't helpfull...
I forgot to state that I'm using Android 4.2.2 and this started to happen after that version update. I had no problem before.
So, now I'm here, as I don't know what else to do before I take this beauty to service. I just hope that this happens because of software bugs :crying:
Is there anyone who could help me? Have similar problem or know how to fix this?
In the meantime, I'll just hope that 4.3 will fix it themself... :fingers-crossed:
