Hi, I got my Elephone p9000 about a month ago and it's been running perfectly fine until the last few days. When I leave the phone locked for a while, and I try to unlock with my fingerprint, it will occasionally refuse to acknowledge i've placed my finger on the scanner, it can take up to 5 or 6 seconds until it unlocks, almost as if theres some kind of lag while the phone is asleep. This extends to locking the phone, if i'm in an app or on my home screen; and press the power button to lock the phone, sometimes it will just turn off the screen, not actually lock the phone, until 5 or 6 seconds later again, when I hear the lock noise and I'm back on the lock screen.
I've not changed anything, this has just started happening in the last week. If anyone has any ideas, i'd be very grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Holt

Hello,
I'm new to xda-developers forums. My X10 mini pro is only 2 weeks old but I got this random problem that pops up from time to time. The touchscreen is not working. I can't unlock the phone when I took the phone out of my pocket, I can't enter the unlock pattern. Then it registers a wrong pattern. for example, the pattern to unlock my phone is:
12*
*3*
**4
sometimes it just registers
12*
***
***
or
12*
*3*
***
or nothing at all and it ends up that I'm being asked with the security question. It gets frustrating.
There's also this one time when I have an incoming call and when I took the phone out of my pocket I can't slide the phone to receive the call. I ended up having a missed call (good thing it's not an important call).
Any ideas on this problem guys? Have any of you experienced the same problem before? Are there any good practice/app to improve the x10 mini pro's capacitive touchsreen? The problems occurs usually when the phone is fresh from my pocket or I am out in the bright sunlight if that helps. I really need it to be much more reliable.
P.S.
Can't wait for the 2.1 update... Hopefully it supports 2.2 and other future versions too. I don't know why the music player has no repeat. And the camera haz no zoom. And there's something funny about the dialer but I just can't pinpoint what. (any idea if x10 family can support gingerbread?)
No one bothered replying??
Well, that sux.
Anyways, for an update, I've rooted my phone, overclocked a bit, managed memory,... so far so good. I think having the the phone in your pocket, butt-dialing overloads the touchscreen with a lot of input (even if it's locked, but lighting up) that's why it becomes unresponsive.
-----------------------
Hope devs crack the bootloader soon, the news from SE regarding the update is devastating.
Same problem here. I've had the phone for 48 hours and almost everytime I unlock the phone the touchscreen becomes unresponsive.
Any solution? Should I return it to retailer?
it looks like the CPU/Memory was on power saving (low performance), until you turn it on.
Can you wait before you enter the unlock code a few seconds(5~10 seconds) to know if the problem is solved?

doesn't work, once the screen is lock the only solution is to remove the battery.
Is your phone rooted? Since I rooted my phone, played with setcpu and autokiller, touchscreen performance increased a lot. My guess is that it has something to do with memory management. While android claims that it has hardcore memory management, you still need to kill apps once in a while.
Right now, whenever my touchscreen becomes unresponsive, I press the power button (to turn off the screen, not shut down the phone) and press it again (so the screen will light up). It becomes responsive again. Works everytime without fail. I hope this helps solving your problem.
I have an unlocked streak with streakdroid 1.6.1. My touch screen seems to work fine when the phone is unlocked but when the phone is locked the touch screen never works right. When I try to unlock the streak part of the screen doesn't work. Some times it's take many reboots and battery pulls to unlock the phone. Other times the touch screen works like it should. Does anyone know what the problem is? I'll upload a video with my wife's phone when she gets home.
Thank you,
Rymn!
Here are four threads that you would have found if you had searched first.
unable to unlock screen "screen totally unresponsive"
Touch Screen Unrsponsive after pocket time
sometimes can't unlock the phone with the slider
Fix for lack of screen response?
When your phone locks up try holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Many times this will power down the phone and keep you from having to do a battery pull.
For possible answers to your screen problem read the other (many) threads already started about this.
My brand new unbranded Mozart has terrible lock screen lag issues. Phone was perfect to start with then after the usual updates and 2 days later, is proving very hard to release the lock screen. I need to wait at least 5s until the phone starts responding. I have noticed it does the same when on the phone (i.e when the screen senses proximity and goes blank). anyone no of this phone having wake up problems etc.?
Quick update - if I swipe up the left hand side of the screen the lag seems to vanish! (for that unlock only).
i.e swipe with index finger from the bottom left above the back arrow upwards and the Mozart seems to respond better!
Wierd but true. Just wondered up this works for anyone else experiencing the same problem.
The lock screen hasn't been responsive on mine. Strangely, once passing the lock screen, the screen is responsive, so shouldn't be a hardware problem right ?
Then I installed the new update and I can't get through the lock screen anymore. It responded to some flicks, but never completely unlock. But the rest of the interface (after doing a reset) is responding as good as always.
A test using the camera button, the screen needed two and a half minutes before responding. That's more than twice the time needed to response from a reboot

i have a tmo_de mozart, and when i flashed it with an unbranded rom, problems with the screen lag appeared, now i flashed tmo_de back and its as good as its supposed to, after 1 month
Had all kinds of touch screen lag problems with my friends Mozart, but lastnight i flashed the stock ROM again and it seems to have VASTLY improved it!
It was like the above video, but now its a million times better, but still misses the odd first swipe when unlocking.
Hi all.
I received my g5 a week ago as a replacement for nexus 6p which had inFamous early shutdown fault.
For first 4 days i loved g5, but on 5th day i started having problems with unlocking device from sleep.
I don't use tap to wake but fingerprint scanner. no screen protectors or case either.
As mentioned first day gave me more or less 1sec response from placing finger to unlocked device. But later it took 5-6 seconds, sometimes pressing power button was helping, and sometimes not. Generally 'always on screen' have to pop up for fingerprint scanner to work properly, but sometimes even after always on screen shows up it take 5 sec for fingerprint scanner to unlock device.
If i lock device and right after i'l try to unlock it with fingerprint scanner it works flawless. but if phone is locked for a few minutes problem comes back.
In addition to that i have noticed that when i make a phone call; take it from ear and put phone in front of my eyes screen lights up after 5-6 seconds a few seconds slower that my wife's 4 year old nexus 5.
I did factory reset. No change. i checked proximity sensor and testing software showes that everything is fine.
Does any of you had something similar?
Hi everyone,
I'm sure this question has been asked by many users, but for some reason none of the ones I read seem to match the problems with my S6 Edge.
The other day I was playing music Youtube on my 3 year old S6 edge (for like 30min) and I forgot that autoplay was off, so the screen turned off, within 10 seconds of it doing so, I pressed the home button to 'wake it up again', but the screen won't turn on. the phone reboots once by itself but the screen remains off, and I know the phone's on because of the blinking LED light of messages, or the red when it is charging. The backlight lights up too, and it seems the screen's touch system works, as I am able to turn it off. I wait for a couple of minutes before hard resetting it (Volume down+Power key) and the screen lights up again and it's all good.
However, I have noticed this happening way too many times lately and noticed a bit of a trend. It usually happens when I use any app (except the music app) for 30 minutes or more, and if I manage to keep the screen awake, it works perfectly fine. The problem begins when the screen sleeps due to inactivity, or is voluntarily turned off. It also heats up quite a bit.
I am on the latest firmware, and have already formatted the phone once and tried, yet the problem persists. With that I suppose we can rule out that the problem is due to any third party app, or due to not updating the firmware. I also replaced the motherboard last year at a reputable phone repair shop, so I think it's a safe bet to say that's not the issue, but I am not 100% sure (the problems began 6 months after I 'unrooted' the phone, after replacing the motherboard).
As I kept going with it, it kept getting worse until eventually, now the phone is in a constant state of 'screen off but phone on', where it charges, plays music, can receive calls and messages, but cannot turn on the screen. I kept trying at 15 minute intervals to no avail, even though the phone is at room temperature.
Before I go blow a couple more 100 bucks on fixing this, I would like to hear all of your opinions on what the problem might be (and hopefully the solution).
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem but i have the galaxy s7 edge. often i can unlock my phone but my screen will stay black. no aod or backlight but the vibration from unlocking with fingerprint is there and the sounds of opening an app are also there...
