I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Hi! I've bought a s 3 mini in Malaysia for my mother, and after 10 days she uses it, the bottom part of touch screen doesn't work anymore.
The bottom part (last icon line) and menu key and back key don't work anymore. The phone is not falling down, neither goes in contact with weather... It's very strange. it has happened after a simple call.
do you think is it an hardware problem? or is it possibile to fix via software?
thanks in advance.
Dear all,
My Xperia phone is really nice and I have been using it for quite a while. However, something happened to my phone about 3 weeks ago. The right side and bottom of my screen has become totally unresponsive and since then, I really had trouble typing letters like 'p', 'l' and 'm', and also pressing space bar and enter. The bottom of my screen is occassionally okay, and I will sometimes be able to type space bar, comma and fullstop as per normal, but it is only sometimes. I have been putting up with it by tilting my phone whenever I type, but recently, I accidentally set a screen lock(password) and since the 'Done' button was at the bottom right of my phone, I am totally unable to press it at all. I tried tilting it, but it seem that the screen would not orientate at all, not before unlocking it. I used the Xperia phone companion on computer to factory reset my phone. Just as I thought that the problem was over, Xperia guide comes up and prevents me from using my phone. Since the 'next' button is located at the bottom right of my screen again, I am unable to press it at all. I tried tilting but it does not work at all and it seems impossible for me to use my phone now. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Its probably a hardware problem you must change the touchscreen by yourself or bring it so service center

Hello all,
my Stratos 2 (A1619) is about 5 days old. I downloaded the most recent official Firmware suggested by the smartphone app (2.3.4.0). Still everything was fine. After installing a lot of watchfaces I experienced problems similar to Youtube 4zQLNsVWvvc (sorry I am not allowed to post external links).
It was not only the screen jumping around but also touchscreen buttons seemed to be pressed repeatedly ("ghostpresses" - like one would press e.g. once a second on the middle of the screen).
I unbound the watch, rebound it, did a factory reset, bound it again. Another factory reset without restoring data and finally it came almost back to normal - except this problem:
If there is a button on the right lower part of the screen like e.g. the purple "nut" button for settings or the "Stop" button of the stopwatch it is extremely hard to hit. The buttons next to these on the right (e.g. "brightness" resp. "Lap/Reset)" are easy to hit.
The touchscreen in general seems to be O.K. because swiping works perfectly fine - even in the right lower corner. Only the buttons there are extremely hard to hit. Maybe one of twenty tries works.
Initially all buttons worked perfectly - so I don't think that it is a hardware problem.
Did someone experience similar problems resp. is there a solution like e.g.:
- increasing the sensitive "size" of the buttons
- recalibrate/reset the touchscreen
Maybe there is an algorithm, that automatically calibrates (learns) the buttons from the presses that got crazy during the "ghostpress" phase?
Probably it's a hardware problem, it's too new (the only other thing that would cause ghost presses are dirty screens, but I don't think it's the case), you should replace it under warranty as soon as possible.
I have a similar problem with my left corner touchscreen buttons.
Here is the result of my hardware secret menu for the lcd screen of stratos.

Have you had the same result?
Am I the only?
I own the Honor 10 64GB Blue from Europe/Italy.
I'm using the honor 10 for something like a month, and I've always had a strange issue with the soft navigation buttons, basically sometimes, not always, whenever I tap the back button, or the multitasking button, it is registered two times, and it is a lot frustrating.
Enabling the hardware vibration feedback, I can tell that is an hardware or software issue because it is too precise. So it is not like my finger slipped and tapped two times.
And I'm not the guy who is installing tons of bloatware apps, (I even deleted half of the preinstalled apps), i just have like facebook, instagram, messenger telegram and whatsapp installed. So maybe not a CPU issue.
So basically what I did was going back to the store, asked for a replacement, and after a week I got a brand new phone, and the same problem happened! So previously I got a Xiaomi Mi5 and never had an issue.
My use behavior consists to do things really fast. But I don't know that has something to do with that, I'm doing the same things I've did with other phones, I owned a Nexus 5 and 5x which also had soft navigation buttons and never had such issue in the past.
I don't know what to do honestly, since no one is having issues with their phone, I've just disabled the vibration feedback for the keyboard maybe is screwing the touch screen (????) I will test it anyway.
And I'm charging the phone with regular USB instead of the fast charge, obviously I've did a lot of hard resets. Now I'm trying to charge it only with the huawei charger
Latest firmware obv. I'm thinking of returning the phone again to get my money back. What a shame, it's a pretty good phone aside from that.
So here is a video attachment showing the exact problem, i just had to tap for something like a minute or two, I've did an hard reset yesterday, only Whatsapp, facebook and telegram are installed, no noticeable CPU load, juts mobile data on
Just look at the very first seconds of the video.
Can't check the video now, but this sounds exactly like the problem I've been having with my Honor 10. In ddition to this sometimes the letter a is not registered. I was going to get my digitizer replaced under warranty,but now I'm not sure if I should. I had this issue from day one.
Similar problem with the touch
It seams related to yours issue my problem. Completely random if I'm on 1 app it minimize, vibrating and the phone go to the home page. Even if I'm in the drawer but not in the home page it turn to the home page.
Is like I've touched the fingerprint sensor, even if I did not. Left at the honor/huawei repair center, back after 3 weeks they did a software upgrade. Now it happens rarely, but still happens.
You guys use some kind of glas screen protector? I had one for some time and had also issues like yours. Some letters werent recognized and also sometimes homescreen button got triggered.
Right now i m using a normal screen protector and all problems are gone.
Same issue here, since day one...
No Screen protector, tried to switch the back Button to the right - but it still exists
Same problem with Honor 9 lite
Using fluid navigation to deal with it , it's less annoying that way , i am Trying to find a workaround for this as well , if anyone know how to fix it.
Let us know in comment ?
Hi, I am too facing similar type of issue with my honor view 20. Please let me know if anyone has got the reason behind it. Thanks.
I never use the on screen button navigation on Honor 10. I was using the fingerprint sensor navigation, and now I'm using Fluid NG.
I don't think my digitizer is broken, since I don't have any issue.
Its all good and smooth.
I just got an Honor 10 Lite this week - I've got a different problem with the navigation buttons.
It's an intermittent problem but I'm sometimes pressing the back or home button half a dozen times before it actually goes home or goes back.
If there's a back button at the top left etc., it will immediately go back.
Enabled haptic feedback and the touch is definitely detected and when you touch the navigation button the screen indicated an circular patch where you touched but the problem remains.
Also tried using gestures, same thing....
Huawei customer service recommends a factory reset, anybody else have this problem?
Well I got a replacement phone, blue this time, instead of black.
For the first couple of days it appeared to be very responsive to touching the navigation buttons but now I'm getting the same requirement to do multiple taps!
