I've been experiencing an intermittent issue with my touchscreen when gaming. When I'm playing any games that require touching both sides of the screen at the same time to control the character(Dead Trigger, Wildblood, Shadowgun, Samurai Vengance) if I'm moving my left thumb on the screen to control the character and touch the right side of the screen to shoot/move the character/etc the touchscreen cancels what my left thumb is doing causing my character to stop moving. It's a total PITA. I thought it was something with the stock JB update but flashed MeanBean 2 days ago and am still having the same issue. Weird thing is there have been entire gaming sessions when this problem hasn't happened but it's borked at least 90% of the time.
Any suggestions???
P.S. I do have a Zagg HD installed but haven't had any issues with them since installing on launch day.

Ditto. I experienced the same problem in GTA III (when trying to drive, especially) and turned off HTC gestures, but the problem continued occurring.
I feel like I'm stuck in a situation where I don't want to take the screen protector off and order a replacement Zagg shield through warranty because if removing it for some reason fixes the issue I don't want to use a Zagg again...but I don't want to take it off without having another one handy.
So I just fired up some games and the screen is deciding to work properly today. This is frustrating lol
....and then a couple hours later I'm back to the screen not working properly again.
Just wanted to update this post about my findings. It turns out the new stock "No Lock Screen" option we got with JB breaks multtouch. Changing it to any lock screen other than "No Lock Screen" prior to using any application with multitouch will fix the issues.
Messing with the lock screen seems to do that. When I had widget locker it would do the same ****.

I had read a couple threads about that happening with 3rd party lock screens. It's weird that a stock lock screen is doing the same thing.
I just ran a couple test runs on games and the multitouch visual test from the Play Store and it seems that the issue with the No Lock Screen lock screen(and I'll assume Widget Locker and other 3rd party lock screens) are no longer breaking multitouch with this new touchpanel update. Freaking aye!!!!!!!!

I'm been messing around with my tablet and the multi touch apps that show the points that your tablet recognizes when you touch the screen. I found out that if i hold my finger on the bottom row of my tablet and then try and press with my right hand thumb on the same bottom row of the tablet the screen does not recognize my right thumb. Can others try the same thing and verify that this is an issue with the everyones touch screen and not just mine. If you play games like pewpew, minisquadron or samurai vengeance II, you may notice this issue where you can't use the virtual joysticks at the same time. Or they are not responsive. Can others give this a test and let me know if your tablet lets you hold your finger on the tablet and then press your other thumb on the same horizontal row.
I just tried this and with the power cord plugged in the touchscreen works Flawlessly but without I get the issue reported above.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've tried the Calibration app and that does nothing.

Video shows what i'm talking about.
i have played samurai vengance, dungeon defenders and zenonia and all of them work correctly. have you checked this in other roms?
I'm thinking it is just vegan 5.1.1 i didn't seem to have this issue with Calkulins rom. What rom are you running?
I have noticed that Gun Bros has a problem with the two dpads, but it does not seem to happen in the multi-touch app. Strange

Odd, i think it is a rom issue. Gonna try another rom but I'm not sure which one. Frustrating.
I want good HD video playback without this multi touch issue.
I have not noticed this but if you have "Spare Parts" or "Developer Tools" there is a cool app in there that just shows where you touch and tracks it. If you touch 2 spots it shows that too. Open up Dev Tools and find Pointer Location. Impress your friends if nothing else.
Hi All,
Picked up a new SGT 10.1 today on the Staples deal. Well, actually two, the first suffered badly from the dust under screen issue and I returned it, cleaned out two stores in the process.
Trouble is, after the first time I engaged the orientation lock (literally the first time I locked the orientation), it no longer auto rotates when on the home screen. Worked fine for a couple hours prior to that. When I go to the camera app, it rotates (although lags sometimes, but can't tell the cause).
I've tried hard resetting multiple times with two different methods, made no difference. Searched around, found only one other person describing the problem and no solution.
Has anyone heard of this? Is there any app I can use to further test the sensor?
Thanks all!!
P.S. Sorry for the double post in Q&A, I posted there by accident.
Go to the home screen. Once in at home screen, press and hold anywhere to bring up the screen to add Widgets, etc... Click on the App Short Cut tab and then tap the home scree without actually adding anything. All you are doing is going to the App Short Cut tab. Now when you rotate your SGT the rotation will be much faster.
Try your rotation first before doing this so that you can see the difference in speed.
Enjoy...

Wondering if any one else has had this issue. The left edge developed a series of blocks that would disappear when I touch he screen, and then reappear when I stopped touching the screen.. The issue persisted into app browser, but reappeared while playing a video in mx player.. It appeared again after I quit mx.
I took screenshots, via the app switcher button throughout, and and I can see the corruption in the shots, and so I suspect its a software issue and not something in the display itself. Screenshots will follow once I compression them a bit.
*edit*
attached.
Rebooting caused the issue to go away. Locking/unlocking made no difference.
Screen Issue
I also have a Problem with the Display. The issue is best seen here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIO2LBMG-dc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
the problem comes and goes... some days nothing happens and then its always flickering!
That's more concerning to me. My issue went away after a reboot, but it wasn't really too bad. That twitching would get on my nerves though.
The first three pics actually look really sick. It would be cool if an app could apply an effect like that. The fourth pic... not so much.

I didn't mind it when it was just doing the first three. Now it sometimes decides to expand into a double-wide box (see attached). I suspect it has to do with letting the screen lock and stay locked during a fullscreen netflix playback, and/or the network monitor mini overlay. Or at least I hope so. I don't want it to be a corruption issue...
Hmmmm, not sure why but sometimes when my battery is low, some parts of the top of the screen tend to stop registering touch input. As an example, if i'm in the Play Store and I try to touch the search bar to bring up the keyboard but it doesn't work...also sliding down from top to bring down notifications also doesnt work.
Anybody else have this issue?
nope
I've never had the screen stop registering touches, but I often have the notification bar stop responding to swipes.
I can resolve the latter by going to the lock screen and trying it there. The notifications will always open from there, and it starts working after being done once.
I've also set up a gesture shortcut to open the notifications by swiping down with two fingers. I'm using Nova Launcher, and that one always works.

I also am using Nova and have had prime installed for a long time.
I also had this issue (though at 100% battery) after a reboot. Rebooting again didn't work. Switched to TouchWiz briefly which also didn't work, but then I hit the Nova Prime button (already installed) and after reverting to Nova Launcher it started working again. Not sure exactly what fixed it though.
I think I'll send a link to the Nova dev and see what he thinks
delete
I sent en email to the devs with a link to the thread. Maybe they will find the cause of the problem
I restored my phone 2 times in the past week and problem randomly comes back. I don't even have to have a low battery, it did it to me 10 minutes after taking it off the charger for a full night. I have no idea what is the cause but about 1/2 inch of the entire top of my screen has no response to touch. I can solve this by rebooting but recently i discovered that if i flip my phone and force it to rotate the screen, the problem stops right away. I doubt its a hardware issue, but then again, if it was software, a restore should have solved that issue.
This is happening to me as well and I'm using Apex, not Nova. Seems like it's been randomly happening since 5.1.1 was installed. Any word yet on a fix?
Hi. I'm having trouble with my v10. When I go to the home screen from what I'm doing I get "loading". Example: I'm on chrome I hit home button it goes to home screen "loading" apperes. Its so quick I can't get a screen shot of it. Idk why it keeps doing it
Any idea ?

Well I had weather on my home screen I took it off and thought that was the problem but it wasn't. But I also don't see it as much...and yes stock launcher
Same problem. I've had the weather app on the home screen since day 1 but didn't start seeing the loading message until last week when I was playing around with my lock screen settings.
I turned off fingerprint lock and changed my knock code a couple times and then changed my mind and turned the fingerprint back on.
I've been getting the loading message randomly since then.
What the heck? It's strange.

I think it's when you're in an app for a long time and the home screen is cleared out of the ram. When you go into home it has to reload. Just a guess..

how many apps do you have running, i have never seen this but i greenify everything thats not lg and my keyboard i actually dont even have a lag from when i hit home button to when i see the home animation flipping my apps across my back ground. but one question did you freeze or disable any lg apps, i saw on another post were they had issues with knock on and the fingerprint scanner after disabling the LG home launcher app, but they didnt have the problem when it was enabled even though they were using nova, it use to happen on my note four till turned back on the samsung apps so try that.
I have 18 apps in my home screen. And I'm running everything stock. I did disable some stuuf but nothing lgish

I haven't disabled anything. I have very few apps and I didn't have the "problem" until starting last weekend.
The only thing I can remember changing was playing around with fingerprint vs no lock screen vs only knock code. Went back to knock code with fingerprint and started seeing the loading message randomly.
I definitely don't have more open than I did a few weeks ago. I close whatever I'm not using.

I'm on my third device and two of them had this issue. I could always replicate it by going into an app like chrome, turning off the screen while still in app, turning the screen on then pressing home. Everytime I got the loading message, no matter what I did it persisted. I factory reset and flashed stock. I'm thinking it's a bug that only effects some devices.. I'm sure a software update will fix this and the smart notice app restarting like first install after every boot too.

Did anyone else that has experienced this have a G3 or 4 and transfer data through lg backup?
it might be you have to many apps running at once that arent closing. what are you using to close the apps i noticed even after doing a clear all most of the apps are still running when i have greenify close them. also this isnt exactly part of your problem but i noticed that my phone acted weird like not turning on or screen staying on after i hit the power button when i reset it. but after taking out the tmobile apps it worked fine, i think one of them is causeing a problem once you root the phone cause it was fine the first few days i had it untill i rooted it and reset it to fix the knock issues i was having. so try removing all the tmobile stuff and the blue app thing is tmobile to. i also dont have lock out on my phone anymore it only messes with my rooted apps.
Only apps I'm using regularly are chrome (usually have 4 to 5 tabs open) TuneIn Radio (only open when using it) email, text messaging, camera, gallery.
I've only installed 10 apps. TuneIn, Dropbox, Shazam, my album (Facebook picture uploads), cartwheel (from target), Verizon fios, charging report, flipp (shopping circular ads) and tapatalk.
My main home screen has the smaller weather widget (was there when I got the phone) and one of my other screens has a clock widget.
I really don't think multitasking is causing this issue. No idea what but it doesn't seem like I'm using any more than I was last week yet from the day I bought the phone up until just days ago I had never seen it.
Curiouser and curiouser.

What the heck? It's strangs.
Here's one for you :
It's not only doing it when I press the home button.
It just did it when I pressed the back soft key from the messaging app back to my app drawer.
I got the "loading" message pop-up right in front of the app drawer window.
