hello XDAexpertes
I have one of this Chinese phones that looks like want to go holidays forever, specifically a Star A3 (Mtk6575)
things is, for few days, soft keys start intermittently stop working, it did got funny because as I take out the back cover they work again, also, the screen protector was little dirty, so I took it off ...
but things have become worst, and up to the point to do not respond at all, but only soft keys, touch screen works perfectly. More over, and this is happening more and more, ghost strokes of the soft keys have start to appear
so I guess, touch screen has got wet(?), fail(?), nuts(?). Anything I could be doing to repair it ?
But my main question is:
- is any way to disable the soft keys (to prevent the ghost strokes) and enable some app to emulate the menu and options soft key (maybe shaking the mobile)
I just need it to make it works for sometime, so I am not without mobile up to purchase a new one.
It is funny, as the soft keys seems to be part of the screen it self, and not separate buttons or anything else. and the touch screen works, while the soft keys do not ...
Hi, recently I started facing touch screen issues.
My touch sensitive buttons aren't responding and sometimes the lower part of the touch screen is unresponsive. That is fixed with a gentle squeeze and a lock and unlock. Sometimes the touch behaves as if I'm using two fingers than one (scaling when trying to fast forward video using one finger )
Sometimes the entire touch screen goes unresponsive which is fixed with a lock and unlock. The scroll becomes dead slow too sometimes. Again the fix is the same.
I'm not sure if this is a firmware issue or hardware issue. The rest of the touch works fine.
I'm using a Gionee P6
I tried to trouble shoot using the secret star codes but unfortunately the menu is in Chinese for this device.
If someone could help before I send it in for repair which will take a long time I'd appreciate it
EDIT : I Was able to use the touch screen testing from the diagnosis hardware menu and there are no dead points. Every part of the touch screen responds. Except when I actually use them in Android
I recently managed to break the screen on my Honor 7 so that it affects the touch functionality, and i am now left with some ghosting on the bottom part of the screen.
Was wondering if there was a way to disable the touch screen on my phone, but still be able to send touch commands through USB, hopefully without removing the screen.
(The ghosting is bad, but i can still pick up calls, which is why i do not want to remove the screen)
Thanks
its really tough,, what you are asking.. you can still connect a mouse, but touch is the formfactor of any android phone, if you want , you can connect a mouse via otg ,
but i highly suggest you to change your touch panel or display...
Same problem ..Tip!
I have the same ghostly problem..and I want to disable the touch input without disabling the external keyboard or mouse control. ...I tried touch lock app..but it also disables the external mouse control. .May be if the Touch Lock app modding will be a great solution for both of us
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!
is anybody having this ..this made me noob in pubg mobile
What color OS update version is your phone on?
Edit:
Is the screen has screen protector applied? I tested my realme 3 pro screen, sometimes my fingers didn't register on the test app, and what's even weirder is after several test, when I put one finger, the app register multiple touches. BUT, I turned on the "pointer location" from the developer options and nothing seems wrong. All touches are registered normally.
What is the possibility of the pre applied screen protector messing up the screen sensitivity?
