Hi there to everyone, I broke only the glass on my screen couple of weeks ago (it felt face down from about half a meter, thats stupid) and I change only the glass my self but since then i have a problem with the screen like: if I press a bit harder anywhere on the screen for about 2 sec the screen became irresponsible and also the back and menu buttons, home and power button work normal. If I press the home button it react as it should, it goes to home screen, so it's just the screen frozen on touch and I have to lock and unlock the phone to go to normal. On daily use it's not such a big problem as i don't press the screen too hard, the problem mostly occurs when playing games.
I would try a hard reset but I not rooted as I use some apps that don't work if I'm rooted and I can't save all my settings, saves and apps and personally I hate to reinstall everything back again.
I'm thinking this is a hardware problem but why it goes to normal only after lock/unlock procedure and i also find on a forum that this can be from the screen protector. It's something similar with the phone in this video the difference being that mine it freezing and that it moving by itself. youtube.com/watch?v=isBDKgxB5vs
Did anyone also experience this?
PS. I sorry for my english as it's not my own language but I'm trying to make my self clear as best as i can, Thank you

Hi, I both an HTC 8525 from eBay and it worked fine for first few days but yesterday a had first problem. At first his touch screen stopped reacting on touch, i tried rebooting, restoring on factory settings but every time he works for few minutes from the moment i start him and then again the same. My screen doesn't react on touch or if it reacts he opens a program and close it right away by it self, now he started doing that and when i start a program with buttons (not on touch screen). Please tell me is there a way to fix that by my self or should i return it? Please answer quick, thank you...
Factory default? Did it means hard reset? Had You done it? There are 2 ways :
1. Launch clear storage,
2. Handser OFF, press and hold right and left softkey, then do softreset with stylus..
If it still exist, i'm affraid of it's hardware problem, i hope not
Hi all,
I'm not too sure if anyone else has ever experienced this but it is starting to annoy me.
When my screen dims after 1 minute and goes to the lock screen I'm able to press the 'home' button and the unlock screen appears but I'm not able to do anything.
Its almost as if my devices jams and I have to press buttons to get it to come back.
I've reinstalled my device and this doesn't happen.
This happens during a call when the screen dims when its near my ear and I take my phone away from my ear the screen doesn't come on and it jams
Please - your help will be greatly appreciated

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wish that was the issue.
My smartstay is on.
When the device's screen turns off the 2 issues happen:-
1. You press the home button to turn the screen on and the phone goes into the pattern lock screen - when i try do my pattern it doesn't pick anything up almost as if the screen has frozen and I have to wait 1 minute for the screen to go off and do the same process and hope it works.
2. I'm in a call and the screen is supposed to light up after removing it from my hear however it stays black. I have to lay the phone down, wait 1 minute and press the home button and hopefully the screen comes up and hopefully it isn't jammed
try this see if it works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
Hey Aimara,
It didn't work.. It almost seems like the phone jams i.e. there is no RAM left or something
Check your running apps, and could be too many apps running on background using up ram, try to freeze some unwanted apps
I have no issues unlocking my stock Sprint GS3 as you describe. Like some other have mentioned, maybe free up some internal RAM by moving some apps or data to SD storage?
I think it might be caused by CPU tuner and the governors? I noticed when my battery was low it would get stuck on the unlock screen.
Hopefully with my changes it works

hello XDAexpertes
I have one of this Chinese phones that looks like want to go holidays forever, specifically a Star A3 (Mtk6575)
things is, for few days, soft keys start intermittently stop working, it did got funny because as I take out the back cover they work again, also, the screen protector was little dirty, so I took it off ...
but things have become worst, and up to the point to do not respond at all, but only soft keys, touch screen works perfectly. More over, and this is happening more and more, ghost strokes of the soft keys have start to appear
so I guess, touch screen has got wet(?), fail(?), nuts(?). Anything I could be doing to repair it ?
But my main question is:
- is any way to disable the soft keys (to prevent the ghost strokes) and enable some app to emulate the menu and options soft key (maybe shaking the mobile)
I just need it to make it works for sometime, so I am not without mobile up to purchase a new one.
It is funny, as the soft keys seems to be part of the screen it self, and not separate buttons or anything else. and the touch screen works, while the soft keys do not ...
Dear friends, see this, see in the youtube:

I activated the phone in their own settings of android to show screen touches and strokes that you can see in the video above, and installed YAMTT app to better show the problem.
The Problem on mobile touch in the middle of the screen there is a track that is not recognized touch, but if I press the screen sinking, she returns to work temporarily, and now recognizes the touch - but after a few minutes the problem back and touch is not recognized again.
The screen is perhaps dished up, and when I press down her back to be in contact with the part of the cell that recognizes the touch, but with time the screen should be getting back dished up (this is my guess, not i'm sure).
Detail, not always when I press is running, sometimes I press the screen to the center of the touch again be recognized, but it seems that the phone is registering touches alone.
What would be a solution, and change the screen (it does not mean that changing the screen the problem solved), want to try other alternatives before changing the screen.
Perhaps heating up the screen with hot air, in theory it will expand and become more pliable, and then if I press down the center panel of the phone with something for a while until it cools, in theory the screen would remain indefinitely, and if that is the problem could solve -
Anyone have any thoughts, has been there?
Thanks in advanced!
Hi all, i received my Verizon Galaxy Edge on friday and the phone is perfect, but i'm having a issue. I've looked everywhere to see if others are having the same issue as me but nothing, zip, nada.
The issue im having is with the touch screen, lets just say i'm texting, i normally keep my left thumb near the volume down button, kinda touching the edge screen but not really much, well im texting and sometimes i dont have to be pressing the keyboard, but its the issue with the left edge screen, it's making it press in the center where my thumb would be. i've turned on to show my input presses and all that and its confirmed the center of the screen touch input when i'm only touching the edge. any help or issues? does this sound more of a hardware defect or a software defect?
This is weird. I'm kinda having the same problem, but not "frequently". I wonder if other people do. I think it has to do with our palm/fingers accidentally for a short period of time so it registers as a touch, then if you were already touching somewhere else then it'd mess up and register the touch in a random place, but I'm not sure. For me it isn't in the centre but it's annoying when it happens.
Well its not all the time dead center, but yeah its annoying. We might have same issue
an update, today i was typing on facebook and i noticed my right thumb was kind of near the L key but it was recognizing presses with my other hand without touching the screen (heat presses) tried to get the video but it went back to normal 5 seconds after the video, will record when it happens again.
