I've been experiencing random touchscreen hangs, seemingly regardless of the rom used. The device is still responding, and I can see activity, but I have to turn the screen off and on again to get it to resume function.
Any suggestions?
This happens in CM9, and all tested ICS roms, as well as native Ubuntu.
Please help me!!!!

Does it also happen in webOS?

I have not used WebOS enough to determine this, but since it does it in Ubuntu and CM9/ICS, I would assume it's a cross-platform issue.
Only way to tell is using webOS... if it does it in webOS then I'd have to say its hardware related

If you ever have those exact issues again, I've replicated them by using a different charger/cord combination: it's strange because it works fine with an HTC charger/cord, and the stock one, but I used a Samsung one in a pinch and got EXACTLY those issues.

It is still doing it :/ But I'm not sure what you mean. I charge my Touchpad using many different cables, but it always seems to freeze when it's not connected to power.

Have you eliminated it as a possible hardware issuse. You may want to run a diagnostic on the TP, You can do that by starting Webos, opening the setting tab, and clicking on the "Device Info" icon. From here in the upper left corner select "device info". From the drop down menu, select "Diagnostic" and perform the "Touch sensors". If you get errors I would suspect the issuse is not software. related
Another suggestion:
You may want to check what your Touchpad is optimized for, *"Finger" or "Stylus" input. Start CM9, *go to the "Applications" tab, locate the "HP TouchPad" icon. This application/shortcut will take you to setting and allow you to check what input the Touchpad has been optimized (finger or stylus) for. Choose you preference and exit. *If you don't have the icon; *Go to "Setting", Scroll to "Advanced". That will bring you to the "TouchScreen Optimization Strategy"screen. As before choose the input mode you want.
Hope this helps.
One of my TPs has also been doing this.
I have 3 32GB TPs all running CM9 nightlies. One of the 3 has had touch input stop working 2x when coming off charging(touchstone). It comes back if I long press power + home key to reboot.
As it only occurs on 1 of my 3, I am thinkng its HDW related.
I will try the diagnostics and report back

I have this occasionally (increasingly) problem where either the keyboard will not work or my scroll wheel will keep on scrolling or the select will keep on selecting. has anyone else seen this? I am using the latest PTTfix and that could be the problem?
The first thing that should be done is to determine whether this is PTTFix's or the ROM's fault, versus a hardware problem. See what happens when you uninstall PTTFix, and if at all possible, what happens when you install a different ROM. If you still have that problem, then it's a hardware issue. (I apologize if you were not looking for generic troubleshooting techniques)

I'm using a similar setup, and the worst of my problems have been the screen alignment issue so many people have experienced. This started recently for me - I thought I was off the hook, even though my serial number was one of the affected ones...
@richy240 what does your SN start with and how long have you been using your Hermes before the SA problem happened? I might eventually run into the same problem... but that's definitely hardware, not software.
i have had this problem with both hermes that i have had... even without third party apps.. what i found to solve the issue is to use my thumb and hit all the keys on the dpad (i have a fat thumb ), center, up, down, left, right, all at once and then my keyboard starts working again..
Heh, reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer got "hyperobesity"...
The fingers you have used to dial... are too fat. To order a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your hand now.

It seems to be a hardware problem rather than software or Android problem Did you remember if your HD has fallen in the last days? Try to make it work in Windows or try to hard reset your Phone if everything goes wrong. Maybe you are lucky. With my previous phone I had similar problems.
it isnt a hardware-problem, in windows mobile is no problem, i have tried the last 30 minutes without freeze
and no, my hd2 has not fallen, till yesterday 5 pm were everything ok, without any freeze in last months
I get that occasionally too. I have just reported sometimes as many as 3 times before it behaves.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
me too
happens to me too, from time to time.
freeze last about 2 secs max.
Im using evo kernel (20?, oct) and the android 2.2.1 build.
okay....it was a silent death of my TS ...
now under windows mobile wont work too (with original wm build...)
i wrote htc support for repair/change of the phone...i hope they will answering fast *cry*
iAm also having this problem, iThought it was my android build at first but iTried a different one and it still continued to freeze. Then iUsed wmo for a whole day and the freezing attacks continued.
I am having the same problem myself!
Whenever I use the red power button, whether it is for waking up out of standby or using a long press to activate the Phone Options menu, the touch screen stops working.
I have found that waking up the phone, then quickly putting it back to sleep and waking it up again gives me about a 90% chance of it working. So I have to press the power button 3 times in quick succession to wake up my phone now.
I hope I won't have any serious long term effects on my phone, but I'm definitely going to be talking to HTC and T-Mobile about this soon.
it happenned with me also when im using 16 gb memory that come from the phone. but when im using smaller one (8gb class 2), it work fine. maybe 16 gb took long time to read.my suggestion try it with smaller capacity or you can buy new one with higher class(6 or maybe 10)

Most annoying posting style ever.
iRecommend selling your HD2 and buying an iPhone.
Have you wifi on ? If I use wifi or wifi hotspot then after the phone wakes up I always get a touchscreen freeze it's definitely not the hardware.
Tried G sensor fix? i.e. editing AK8973Prms.txt
This has something to do with android on the hd2 eventually causing it, I work for tmo n see all the issues with the hd2 n this has never been an issue so I thought it was just me when it happened to me I just exchanged my hd2 and its fixed but now I see more people having the issue n the only thing thats common is we use android

iRecommend for you not to replay if you dont have a solution to the problem at hand.
I think it's due to the G Sensor. I have meet this before and have some test on my HD2. I found that if some application running on G Sensor, it may cause the freeze, ie GPS, Google Map， Compass. I am not sure this is due to my setting.
I shut down the G Sensor by Gscript and the script below found in XDA and seems this help. I hope this can help you too.
1. Create a script name 'Stop'.
SU is required, input
mv /system/bin/akmd /system/bin/akmd2
killall akmd
save this script and run, it will shut down the G Sensor.
2. Create a script name 'Start'
SU is required, input
mv /system/bin/akmd2 /system/bin/akmd
/system/bin/akmd
save this script, and you can run this to restart the G Sensor while u need it again.
I dont' know whether there is some widget or application to control the G Sensor better, but you can try this first to check if G Sensor cause this problem.
I found if shut down G Sensor, the GPS won't work. If anyone have idea how to make GPS work without G Sensor please advice.

Turn your WIFI off then put it to sleep, works for me 100% of the time.
Same problem here. All ROMS based on HTC Sense freeze. Press the turn off button once and wait for 5 or 10 mins, and then the phone doesn't come back from lock anymore. This issue doesn't seem to be happening with any Nexus one Roms.
I have tried all possible solution, WM roms change, SetCpu, etc...

If press turn off button while it's freeze, it's hard to come back from lock. While it's not freeze, press any key while the phone is locked, if the screen is not come back, I still can touch the screen and the unlocked screen will be come back again.
I think it's a problem that the screen won't turn on immediately after we press the button, but at that moment, the phone can receive our control by touch the screen. If it's freeze, touch screen is not work, so keep dark. But if it's not freeze, the screen will be on. So I think it's the problem to solve the freeze problem.

Anyone know where I can buy this part?
ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

No, you use the app rigth. The app only disable deepsleep.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
Hey guys,
I've been having some keyboard issues for a while now and it's really starting to bug me. I'm currently on BAMF 2.1, but I've used various iterations of BAMF and I was even experiencing the same problem on CM7. Whenever I install a new ROM I do a complete wipe 3x and lately I haven't even been restoring data on my apps.
When typing, certain letters just don't work. It's really odd. I can sit there and tap tap tap away, and it may take like 6 taps to get a letter to work. At first I thought it was my screen, but I experience NO issues with the screen anywhere else but typing. The fact that what letters don't work often change (both in landscape AND portrait) also makes me think that it's not the screen.
I'm currently using Smart Keyboard Pro with a DX skin (had a DX before this and loved the keyboard), but I've even switched to the market version of the GB keyboard and experienced the same problem.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't always happen. I could go half a day with no issues, but then it pops up and it's pretty persistent.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's really starting to become a problem.
I have experienced maybe something similar. Since I flashed gingerbread ( my keyboard sometimes locks up. There's usually a delay of 3 seconds before it picks up. I'm using swift but it has happened on swype and the stock keyboard.
Happens to me, exact same problem but it also happened on my inc so I'm not too worried lol it IS annoying but doesn't last for an extended amount of time

Ugh, this is still happening to me and still being a pain in my ass
Unsure if this a problem caused by CM 10.1 or android 4.2.2 but using both jellybam and paranoidkangdroid I am unable to put the screen to sleep, the hardware button still works for shutting down just not turning off screen. I also have a hard time getting music to play, requires reboots and shutting down of apollo app, unsure of which of these actually does the trick or if its just luck.
Part of the symtoms include a flashing black screen, what it looks like is a black overlay with part of the status bar still visible. As well as rare random reboots.
Does anyone know if this a problem with the i717 and the most up to date roms or something else.
Help much appreciated thanks.
The only issue I can comment on is Apollo. Mine you have to select the music you want or hit play, wait, hit back when the app freezes and then wait for the pop up saying "Apollo has stopped working". Press Ok and go back into the app and hit play or the song you chose again to get it working. After that the app works amazing! I think it actually is a common problem on 4.2.2 but can't say for sure. The rest, I don't really know what to suggest. Sorry
Best of luck to you

I'm getting this same issue in JellyBAM, PAkangdroid, and CM10.1 M-release (2013-04-11 latest). Re-flashing the ROM in recovery seems to fix it for a while, but I still haven't been able to narrow down a root cause yet.
