[Q] CM 10.1 orange screen glitch then crashes - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi people. I'm really new to rooting and I have a note sgh i717m. It's with bell but the root worked. The CM 10.1.2 Rom I installed keeps giving me problems. My phone runs fine for a while then the screen will start to get all fuzzy. ( like a bad cable connection or something) then it will go orange and die. I tried installing the lower stable edition cm 10.1 and it worked for a while but it came back. Any suggestions. I'm frustrated and feel like going back to crummy touch wiz just to get rid of this problem

Have you tried disabling HW Overlays in Developer Options?

In case you didn't know, the Developer options are disabled. However you can bring them back by doing the following:
Go to System Settings -> About Phone
Start tapping on the Build number for a few times and the developer options will be enabled. I know it's kind of silly but it's an easteregg :laugh:

Completely forgot about that!:laugh:

It didn't work the problem persisted. One thing I noticed is when I change the wallpaper the problem temporaraly goes away. Thanks for your guys efforts

I believe you must reset it each time it boots up.

Ya, I just came to that realization. I've done a little research on it and I think its because the rom isn't perfect for my phone yet, and that this thing uses GPU instead of CPU so it uses more battery. Also that it makes my phone choppy but in the end its the lesser of two evils

Menu button not working

Hoping someone can assist as its driving my crazy and searched for a solution without luck.
Running SG2 with custom rom,rooted, Siyah kernel etc. Its not ROM related i believe as the problem occurs on different ROM's.
One day phone menu button decided not to funciton. The backlit part works but jsut doesnt provide the menu etc. If i hold it down it respnods, the keyboard appears but not menu etc.
Only solution to date is to restore a prior Nandroid backup ive made using CWM but then within a few hours the menu button gives up again. This occured when i went from Leocheck ROM to Rarity. Even tried wipe ROM version to clear everything and used Titanium to restore everything but eventually menu button dies again.
Has anyone else experienced this, i cant figure it out?
Damn, guess im the only one lol.
From what ive read on forums it could be a conflict with the ROM I installed being 3.9 Rarity and some apk i may have installed although i havent installed anythnig new.
Others thing some kind of bad framework installed but even when i reflash with a nowipe and reinstall data only via Titanium or advanced restore via CWM, after a few hours the problem reappears.
Besdies getting a new phone lol im really at a loss :-(
Just an FYI if anyone ever has the same problem as me. Via chance i discovered the reason why my menu button would often not work, it was due to Ultrakeyboard v6.1.
Its a newer release and works fine however whilst its selected, it kills your menu button. Once you change input, the menu button becomes functional again.
So end of the day after flashing many stock roms, kernels, modems etc it was as simple as a keyboard lol
This thread helped me. Same thing happened to my fiancee's phone. Menu button didn't work. Even flashed a new rom and eventually same thing happened. So, looked on here, found this, disabled Ultra KB and it works. They need to get this fixed.
Guys,
I have the same problem but dont have ultra keyboard my menu button just doesnt work anymore

Have you tried button savoir from the market.this will determine if its something wrong with the soft buttons or your rom/system itself. phones with hardware buttons use it to stop them wearing out

Does your menu button do anything.what gave it away for me was that when I pressed the button, nothing happened but when I held it down the keyboard would pop up so it was atleast functioning, just not correctly.
Are you sure its not another duplication causing this.have you tried a fresh rom install without installing any additional apps?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yeah have tried multiple fresh roms. Flashed stock with ODIN then upgraded over WIFI. Nothing. I also did a key test in recovery and it wasnt working. It is intermittent. Tho today its barely worked. I have done factory resets etc. Nothing has helped

If it didn't even work in recovery then it sounds like a warranty job to me (of course after flashing back to stock).
In CWM my menu button worked so I knew it had to be app related. Hope you figure it out. Mine now decides to go into the sleep of death lol.

[Q] CM9 touch screne issues

hey people,
ever since i started playing around with the CM9 roms my touch screen has been acting weird. some key on the right hand side of my keyboard do not work (M, K, P). apps open without me touching the screen. press one area of the screen and another area of the screen thinks it was touched. i tried full wipe reinstall many times to no avail. or is it just because i have installed so many roms over the year my phone has crapped out.
if i am in the app drawer scrolling using the same area where the keys would be located i am able to scroll.
reverting back to CM7 as we speak........still no go
any ideas?

Have you tried recalibrating your screen. I've also heard of some 'pds fix' for touch issues. Here's a link for the fix:

think i have figured out the issue. its possessed by the devil. i let it sit on the table and out of know where the icons start moving and apps start opening. kinda freaky to watch.....
the only touch screen issues i had were with early versions of jokersax cm9...the touch screen would not respond at all upon booting up...so going back to recovery and restore always fixed it...but it sounds like you've tried everything...and a screen replacement costs about $50 i believe have you tried going back to stock temporarily??

[Q] Bad touch screen response.

Hi All,
I have a Galaxy S2 i9100 - Samsung XWLP7 [ROM] and would like to ask if anybody has the same problems.
Sometimes when I want to unlock my screen it responds to my touch on the screen but when I'm dragging it loses my touch and just picks it up as another touch on the screen.
But at most times when I try to unlock again it responds well, and when it is unlocked, I have no problems with the touchscreen or whatsoever.
Thanx!
I'm getting the same issue with the touch screen as well sometimes no response, been flashing a few roms over the weeks and its still a little glitchy maybe faulty screen will keep trying for a few days and see if i can get it sent back under warranty via stock rom, currently using dexter rom huge improvements throughout the phone great rom still got a touch issue though

I hope it's not a hardware issue! But I'm fairly sure it's not because after unlocking it works fine!
It looks like it's not sensitive enough.
Just watch your fingers when you unlock it, and dont let go to early, try to make it a straight line from begening to end, that should solve your problem, dont forget the most important thing, say thanks
Did you guys try to use any 3rd party locker apps???
Use the code given below to test your screen.....

Touch screen not working, pen working????

Ok guys i have another question for the experts. Im dealing with this GS i717, the phone was rooted at some point since i found a touch recovery in it when i got it in my hands. Problem or issue is that i got it back to stock ATT and now touch screen is not working at all. Funny thing is that i noticed it wasnt working with the touch recovery but since that recovery looked so weird i thougth it was a matter of incompatibility since ive seen that before with touch recoveries. Anyway, the LCD doesnt look bad at all. In fact theres not even a minor scratch on the phone and or lcd(digitizer). But strange enough the digitizer responds perfectly to the pen. Im asking for help cus this does not look like a hardware issue. Seems to be a matter of configuration or something like that. Any advice??
Which recovery was on there? You may want to download a new ROM and see if you can flash that. And see what happens. Just a thought.
I would try pushing a ICS stock ROM via ODIN to try first.. if that failed, I'd try reverting to gingerbread then updating via kies personally. I'm no expert I promise but that just seems like the only logic I'd try.

to start i was running padawan flawlessly for almost 2 days when my touch screen failed on a reboot. the only thing that worked was the pen, it led me to this topic. i tried the firmware update, didn't work. spent a few hours looking for a better answer but when i didn't i decided to try again. after updating all 4 of the options the pen stopped working as well. i then installed the original 4.1.2 using Kies hoping to roll back the firmware/drivers or whatever stopped working. this didn't work either now I'm staring at that ridiculous AT&T Ready2Go screen and can not make anything happen with my phone. all 4 of my capacitive buttons register and get me the tactile feedback but do nothing else. i know i'm not that experienced, but this seems to be a software issue somewhere. before i trash the phone or have to pay for a replacement note is there anything else i can try?
If your not under warranty try taking it apart. Maybe you'll find something disconnected. You have nothing to lose.
If you do decide to take it apart, I found this link to be very helpful. (Warning! Autoplay)

This is a good suggestion because the screen is several layers (glass, digitizer, lcd, capacitive touch, and pen) with connectors for each one, and each layer is independent of the others. A good knocking could loosen a connector.
If that doesn't cure it, a new screen assembly is $160. I just bought one for my N7000 note.
well i've tried everything i could think of and everything i could find on this site. after opening my phone to make sure all connectors were in their proper place i flashed the original stock 2.3.6 OS, no working touch screen. upgraded back to padawan, still no working screen. has anybody ever heard of a way to flash the touch screen drivers, its my last idea other than getting rid of the headache and just waiting until my upgrade
From what you describe, it seems like you are dealing with a dead part. It's not like a PC where you can just install a driver to make the touch screen work.
If you don't want to spend any money to replace the screen, I would sell the phone as it is to recover any money that I can.

I just had this issue with a Note 4. This is what worked for me. Install Samsung Kies. Go to tools > update firmware. It's going to warn you about erasing everything. Just do it after you backup what you need. It'll download the latest lollipop firmware, boot into download mode, and then flash the firmware. When it reboots, you'll still have the screen issue. Dial *#2663# and update the firmwares. It should work now. Worked for me!
Exact same issue here as well. After rooting my phone and installing CM 12 on it all of a sudden my touchscreen calibration is waaaay off. Its more pronounced the further down the screen you go (ie I click in the 2/3 section top to bottom to click on the actual bottom) but with the s-pen everything is fine. I tried the code dial *#2663# but then I receive the prompt "connection problem or invalid mmi code". I am connected to the mobile network (Rogers in Canada) and mobile data is working without issue. I've tried completely wiping the phone again, all partitions and reformatting system, reflashing CM12 + gapps and still the issue persists. Google-fu isn't turning up with much either, please help!
Thanks!
*#2663* did the Trick! Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy s3 screen stuck on black screen when idle

Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important
