S2 - no response for fast touches - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. It is just me who mind no/slow response for fast touches on samsung galaxy SII i9100? Or it is just problem of this piece? Please see video on youtube: " Samsung S2 i9100 no response for fast touches "...(I cannot post links.)
I currently have RR v3.8 JB (Nova launcher, pegasusq governor, touch sensitivity=20, protective shield). Is a time threshold which can be modified somewhere in system?
updated:
I have tried 3 years old xperia X10 mini pro (u20i, 600MHz) which seems to react faster and for each (quick/slight/short time) touch.
btw: Can somebody move this thread to some better place?

I've not watched your video, but for touch sensitivity, lower is better. Set it to 5 or below for optimal response.
Setting touch sensitivity to 20 Wii only give you horrible experience.

Hello and thanks for reply. Minimum setting on my phone is 10 from 100. Even now it start to recognize my finger ~0.5 mm above screen which is not pleasant. (10 it is around 1.5 mm) Problem is time of contact.

I am using RR 3.8 as well, with newest Siyah, also I am using a screen protection but I have no problem... It may be laucher or kernel related. How did it work on stock rom? ...before flashing anything custom..

I do not remember any other behavior on previous ROMs (but I have not closely checked it).I have now RR 3.09 freshly installed and still the same problem. It seems to me that somewhere in system (screen driver?) is set artificial time threshold for unattended touches, or perhaps my screen is somehow defective.... LED buttons are more (not perfectly) sensitive for fast touch in my case. Can somebody please reply by video to show other behavior?

Well, I had other problem with touch [not everyone has it, but its releted to the OS - ICS, @GB it works fine] :

[Q] my sceen lag when i play game or hold sceen

have you closed other application. As there is 100% chance that more of them are running in background
does it still lag? or you fixed it?

I think this is a bug in the touchscreen driver. Hopefully LG can fix this. If you touch the screen, CPU load goes up to 100%.

Yep, can't play some games cause of this bug
normally if the device lags you need to restart. restarting the device once in a while is normal for android devices. if you have task killer remove it and replace it with autokiller...work far more better that task killer. IMHO

That's not our case. As corwin said I believe that touch panel drivers are sh1t, this doesn't have anything to do with what you said.
i have the same problem.?mb the reason is tweaks(JIT en hw en)?
Does it happen in the stock ROM as well?
I think that trouch screen bug is the main reason for this problem.I hope that LG will solve this problem soon. But before i bought my p500 i read in some web,they write that this phone have develop with Google team and why have ****!!! problem like this.

where have you try it?
In some game or Neocore, every ROM laging when you touch screen.
Neocore score without touch 44 frame/s, with touch 15 frame/s.
This is maybe problem inside firmware.
Sorry for my English
Yah, you are not alone, I have that problem too.
It lags in games such as Heavy Gunner, and Raging Thunder 2, where I have to hold to boost, or shoot
I hope OC might help since when I held my finger anywhere in the screen I saw the cpu max out in the app system panel.
I have firmware V10c
get similar problem on solipskier (rooted and jit-ed)
I have the same issues.
Has anyone already contacted LG about this issue?
I don't think this is really a bad driver from LG (though I cannot comfirm that).
Native input and sensor events
Applications that use native code can now receive and process input and sensor events directly in their native code, which dramatically improves efficiency and responsiveness.
Faster event distribution
The plaform now handles touch and keyboard events faster and more efficiently, minimizing CPU utilization during event distribution. The changes improve responsiveness for all applications, but especially benefit games that use touch events in combination with 3D graphics or other CPU-intensive operations.
These are two of just a few of the awesome develpments for Gingerbread, and I believe these would help out on our model phones immensly. Thats why I am spending more time that I should be afterhours poking around 2.3. If only this was my job, and I could spend more than 2-4 hours a day on it before passing out...
can someone email LGs support and ask them?
I was ignored two months ago, just got a message from LG bot.."thank you for blah blah blah..we will reply blah blah" and nothing more I told them about the screen lag problem and asked for solution. I hope that Gingerbread will solve it, or that LG will provide some fix before Gingerbread will come out for our phone..

it comes like in waves. aa bit shaky.. then a bit very smooth a bit shaky and smooth... and so on it goes. i wonder why... is any one knows please share think it could help others too
is it anything that can be fixed or not ? or anything i can do to improve the smoothness ? thanks

I think its probably because your phone was running out of RAM. Yes! JB has memory leak issues. To confirm this, please use any Ram widget to monitor your Ram usage especially when the issue reoccur
When your phone runs out of RAM, everything will hyper-lag.
Also, Did you guys change any settings in extweaks?
This is a known bug in the Siyah Kernel, it was fixed in Siyah 4.1.4 but it is now back.
Does it only happen when phone is charging? Mine is fine unless my phone is on charge and then it is very shakey.
You could revert back to version 4.1.4 if it bothers you untill bug is fixed
JB Roms doesn't support HW composer(which is responsible for hardware graphics acceleration in menus), and won't support it until Samsung releases official JB ROM

i am om 4.1.4 due to 4.1.5 gave me lag when phone wakes up.
yea it lags most when the charger is plugged in.
but it is the same on any ics roms also.. but on ics it is even more shakylags.
i have never tried a ram manager but maybe i should
EDIT : conservative governor is the one that i feel is the smoothest on my phone!
Look at the paper guide you got with phone - at "Charging battery" section there's information "During charging process touchscreen can function improperly" (or similar, I'm just translating from my language).

I have already fixed the problem on my LG O3D. I was using my old charger that came with smaller LG phone I dont remember name but it doesnt even had android in it. With that charger my screen was shaking. But when I started Using charger that came with my O3D it worked smooth. And of course problem appeared only while charging so if your phone does that while discharging too, this probably will not help.

[Q] lag on lolipop ?

Just updated my tablet to lolipop yesterday and there're lags with nova launcher as well as facebook and gmail . did anyone else experience the same thing with me ? I would be grateful if someone can show me how to fix it. Thanks a lot
Maybe switching off Adaptive brightness will help
I also have the problem, even sometime very slow to silde the surface, sometime very smooth , i like android 4.4 more than 5.0 lollipop , because is stable
Mine is very smooth. I did clean install but apps restored using titanium backup
Sent from my SGP621 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes I have the same issue.
The version is currently 23.1.A.0.726, sometimes it's butter-smooth, but for other times it's laggy even if you just flip around your homescreen and settings.
Set brightness to ghe low level wil help, yes, it did, thank you,but why ? My tablet is no longer smart =_=
It always had this problem, even on kitkat. I partially solved it by installing lux auto brightness from play store, but it's still not entirely fixed. These Sony devs are really blind, 2 lollipop updates since then and haven't done anything about it.
I received my tab today and decided to update to lollipop. At first I noticed lots of lag and dropped frames. I then put it on charge and noticed that it was buttery smooth. Since taking it off charge it's still buttery smooth. Not sure what I did, but am a lot happier now. I just hope it lasts.
Update...
Have now realised what causes the dropped frames. Its when you have the brightness set too High!! The brightness seems to throttle the processor. Bit stupid if you ask me. Luckily I usually have my brightness set about 50 to 60%. I hope Sony fix this.

Have the same issue, took a while to find the cause.
I'm still on 23.1.A.0.690.
Does anybody already have 23.1.A.1.28 and does still have this issue?
Some guys in a German board say they do not see any difference in low and high brightness and I think they have the newer version...

Hmm, I didn't use my tablet much until recently but I did notice some stuttering while moving around if screen was really bright (on 23.1.A.0.690).
I do not notice the same stuttering on 23.1.A.1.28, actually it seems as fluid on maximum brightness as it does on minimum.

Mines definitely stutters on 23.1.A1.28 when brightness is over 50%. Still faster than my old Samsung galaxy tab s.
Just checked another device in a local "MediaMarkt" store.
It was running on 23.1.A.1.28 and also had this lag - it was really terrible... When I covered the bightness sensor, it started to fly.
This is ridiculous... I hope Sony will fix this in 5.1.
On a side note, mine has a rainbow effect when looking straight at the screen, which is disturbing when reading web pages. The demo device in the store had exactly the same effect - so I'll have to send it back.
Sigh, that was such a great device, but these two issues are a killer for me

Phone gets really hot on certain roms

Hi all,
I seem to have a problem with certain roms on my S3 that will heat my phone up excessively after just a few minutes use, while other roms don't.
I used to use Omega Rom V43.3 and JKay and that never once heated up to the extent that I would almost burn myself. I decided to try Revolution HD, Glamour S5 and Blisspop and my phone would heat up with all of them.
I am looking for a new rom as Omega Rom is really outdated and I am missing out on newer updates.
What would cause this? Is this Kernel related? If so what Rom or Kernel would reduce this?
I use the screen on the lowest brightness setting and don't use too many apps at once, Spotify, Facebook, Whatsapp etc.
Does anyone have an idea? I would have asked in a dev thread for one of the roms but I don't have the required 10 posts.
Thanks!

Underclocking is hardly the solution. I'd check for CPU-intensive apps. One of them must be running in the background. Check the battery stats for clues too.
Its ROM code issues
The rom is probably taxing the hardware more
Is 60 degrees celsius a normal temperature for a phone cpu to reach? This seems really high to me as I am almost burning my hands. It's really uncomfortable. Battery reaches about 43 degrees celsius.
Using Boefla Kernel and Android Revolution HD rom. Tried Blisspop with Archi Kernel and it would get just as hot. Omega rom the same thing.
Screen is on it's lowest setting and I tried undervolting as well, no luck. These are all fresh wipe installs
Is it just one of those things that some S3's will heat up more than others or is this temperature a bit too high?
Thanks
So long as the device doesn't shut down it wont do any damage. The main problem is comfort. Have you activated power save mode?

Touch Lag/Sluggish touch response on COD/PUBG

Hey. I have searched extensively for the solution. Can't find it anywhere. So basically I just bought this phone.
Now whenever I am playing CODM or Pubg. The touch delay is huge, I mean if I swipe anywhere it takes half a second to swipe and in a floaty and Sluggish fashion.
This makes aiming almost impossible ?*
Anyone got any solution? I have tried to downgrade OOS to 10.0.3 from 10.0.8 using EDL method. No luck.
I know this is a software issue. So does anyone have any solution?

The game works butter smooth. It's the touch response I have a problem with.
Meaning touch latency is delayed if that makes sense.
I personally don't have any issues but I've read somewhere that setting the graphics to High helps
Have you found a solution ? Im getting the same problem on my one plus 8 pro brand new... playing codm is unplayable, movement is slow and heavy .. touch delay is crazyy .. help :|

I believe OP has low touch refresh rate to 90ghz..where apple 11 and gaming phones has greater than 120ghz which is really important same to samsung highend..OP concentrated on screen refreshment only that is not much useful but also should look into touch refresh rate for gaming and quick touch responses. I fed with OP now
The touch refresh rate of the OnePlus 7T Pro is 1.5x the screen refresh rate meaning it is 135 Hz. That shouldn't be an issue. There are several factors that can play a role in this but I suspect that it comes down to the kernel and poorly implemented drivers. You can try a custom kernel and see if that improves anything. Most custom kernels at least include some kind of upstream and optimisations that can make a huge impact (like Smurf Kernel for me on the OP6 made a huge improvement).
Mine is oneplus8pro not 7

The same applies to the OnePlus 8 pro, though the touch sampling rate is 240 Hz so 2x times the screen refresh rate. I would still try to use a custom kernel to check whether or not it improves the latency issues. Smurf kernel is available for the OP8P which I can recommend. But there are other custom kernels available for each and everyone's liking
As this thread is posted in the OP7TP section I assumed the question was regarding this device. I didn't get that you are talking about the OP8P
This issue common on devices with higher refresh rate, this delay is causing because you could set your screen refresh rate lower than maximum refresh rate (like using 60 fps).
To fix this issue you just need to increase your screen refresh rate to maximum then only your device will use the maximum "touch sample rate".
