Hi,
Unusual problem here?
Every time I try to type the key 'G' on the keyboard or directly around the letter 'G' the g key acts as though I have my finger constantly pressed on the letter G. So I get a constant repeat of the letter G. And therefore I cannot click one letter G or surounding it, as it gives me a constant letter press down.
What's wierd, is the I can make this happen even if I don't touch the screen, and just have my finger hover, approx 1cm above the letter G and the screen? Weird huh
I've never heard of something like this. Can anyone help on a solution, or is it a new screen? Or is it a take down and check all cables etc?
Cheers
Hi, the problem was solved by tearing down the phone and re-inserting all cables, and pushing in the connectors. No more buttons being pressed just by hovering my finger over the letter g. I've never heard of this one though. Touch screen yes, hovering above screen 1cm and still the button being pressed. Weird.
Spoke too soon! Same problem back again, after going good for couple of hours - hovering over the letter g on keyboard, constant g presses?

so as most huge problems start out, I got what I thought was a good deal on Ebay.
it's a touch pro that they claimed worked great but the touch pad wouldn't respond. All other controls functioned normally and only 4 months old.
4 months is pretty close, I got the touchpad working by re-soldering the 4 connections on the ribbon cable. but the navi pad only responds in the up-down directions. none of the other buttons on the front work, call buttons, home, back and enter all stay black and do nothing. What's strange is that up and down work
I reflashed it with a stock sprint ruu. then hard reset a couple of times. Nothing helps. I'm trying to get my hands on NAVDbgTool.exe, but i think that will only tell me what I already know. it's not working.
any ideas?!!
try to get the whole assembly. on eghey. also i heard there was an website that specialized in getting htc parts. i cant remember the url though.
I just missed a whole keyboard, screen, and everything a friend was selling. The whole top half of a phone, would have been just what I need.
cracked navipad
So, If any one has an interest in this. I think I solved what's going on here.
we know that the navipad is touch as well as having hardware buttons below.
my up and down directional buttons work fine. but no enter and no home ect. Home, back, and the two call buttons have two on either side and then the directional left and right. so in the left and right sides there is only 1 hardware button on each side meaning that it relies on touch to know where your finger is when you're pressing to know what function to perform.
I got looking really close at my navipad and holding it at angles near light i can see really fine cracks on the left side. So I'm guessing that it being broken is keeping the phone from getting a touch response so it can't assign a function to the press if it doesn't know where my finger is.
but the enter button is also touch sensitive and only works for the first few seconds of the boot cycle or when the device is off and doing a hard reset with voldown+enter+power.
So, at least it's a simple fix if I can find a directional pad somewhere.
Touch pro and Diamond interchangeable?
Does anyone know if the directional pad / Navipad of a Touch Diamond is the same as the touch pro? att fuze looks similar, but looking at a close up picture its obviously different.
I have a similar problem...please visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561892&page=2
Is anyone else having an issue with phantom taps on the screen. I know sometimes my screen will pull up the keyboard and start typing. Or if I am scrolling a web page it will think i'm zooming. Or if I go to click and hold a link in dolphin it will just click.
yeah while browsing i had the same problem, maybe some bug that will be crushed after an update.we have to bare with this in the meanwhile.
I'm reading on other forums like the Nook that a screen protector may help fix this.
Plugged in?
Does this only happen when the flyer is plugged in? I had this problem when I was trying to use the flyer while it was plugged in and it just started doing as it pleased. The first couple of times it freaked me out! It just started typing crazy stuff and started navigating from screen to screen as it saw fit every time I went to touch the screen. I thought it was demon possessed (some kind of ouija tablet), but I didn't call a priest I just unplugged it and all was well with it's formerly possessed soul.
.
I have a problem when It's plugged into the power. Scrolling pages sometimes zooms and buttons can activate if my finger is just close to them.
In some countries like here in the UAE, the combination of badly earthed mains, leather-soled shoes or bare feet on tiled floors and a very sensitive capacitive screen causes strange tap response.
Ever held a charging phone or laptop and felt a slight electric buzz??
I usually find if I clean my screen and remove any finger grease, it tends to work fine after that.
Also, even if not on power, I have found a problem with tap and hold (say to trash icons) that if you press the screen too hard, the hold does not 'hold' ... If you use a light tap it works fine.
Large finger surface area on hard press seems to confuse it.
It happens when it's not plugged in.
My screen was so sensitive it would open apps, etc. even when my finger was 1/2" away from the screen. It was frustrating. Cutting down one of the matte, anti-glare screen protectors I had left after I returned my Galaxy tab solved the problem.
I bought some screen protectors of Amazon... Thanks for the input... its the only downside to this thing :-D
So when I hold my finger still at the left side of the touchscreen (as far as I can), for example when dragging the youtube cursor thingy, it will start to jump around.. Anyone else having this problem?
Oh and for some reason this won't happen when connected to the ac adapter.
Used the screen check code , then click on touch
type *#0*# into the dialer

I don't know how that could indicate anything like that.. (prob just don't get it).
Anyway it is easily noticable. For example when held with the left side down when watching a youtube clip. If you then hold the cursor still while holding your finger as low as possible, it will start to jump around. Or when sliding the homescreen to the left and holding it when your finger reaches the end and it will jump around.
Just tell me if you have this problem too.
Come one, anyone?
Anyone else having this? Just hold something and move your finger to the left of the touchscreen. Mine starts to jump around randomly.. I really don't need sensor things to test it as it is just clearly noticeable. I think I'm going back to the store with it tomorrow.
Ok, so aside from a few barely noticeable dead pixels, my TF Prime is fine.
But 3-4 times I've had this weird issue... the TF will all of a sudden start freaking out, flipping screens back and forth, tapping on app icons, keyboard keys, etc. It's as if a ghost has taken over my Prime, lol... what the??
Just happens at random, doesn't seem to be a particular app or action that's setting it off. Has happened while using the stock browser, Evernote, and typing an email.
Anyone else seeing this? Some kind of software glitch, or do you think I got a dodgy touchscreen?
By any chance, do you have the keyboard dock attached? On a few occasions, I've had the palm of my hand kind of resting on the mouse pad and that will set it off - not a tablet flaw, it's just my hand in the wrong place. Without the dock, I've managed to accomplish the same "flaw" by resting my thumb too close to the screen. With a sensitive capacitive screen, you just need to be really close to the screen to set it off. If not, then you have a real problem.
Bye.
No, I'm not lucky enough to own the dock yet, got one on pre-order, lol.
It's not just one tap or two, I mean the thing just flips out, scrolling home screens back and forth, typing automatically on the keyboard, etc., like it's possessed or something... on auto-pilot. It will go on indefinitely, and the screen will become unresponsive to my own taps. The only way to stop it is by doing a hard reboot by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Now that I think about it, probably a touchscreen hardware issue... seems like it's "holding" the tap on, not releasing the tap off when it happens. I guess I'm gonna return it next week, ugh.
I qwas having this problem also but it started happening after i put on a skinomi screen protector. People thought i got water in tablet but maybee that wasnt the problem. If your having same problem.

I've had that happen many times on my Nook Color. Drives me nuts. Certain games trigger it for me. Or sometimes it seems to be caused by my hand touching the screen or more than 2 points ( which is all my NC can handle )
Found that if I turn the device to sleep mode and wipe screen good, it usually fixes the issue. Either that or sometimes I have to reboot and it is normal again.
Glad I'm not the only one with a possessed tablet.
I noticed today when i woke up i cannot press the right side of the screen and get any kind of response. It is only about a thumbs with of the right edge but this prevents me from being able to hit send on text messages on the default messaging app and also on go sms as the send buttons are in the same general location. Is my phone just FUBAR or is there some way i can resolve the issue. Have tried power cycling and thats about it. I guess i need to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue and if there is any way to find out and fix the problem.
I've been having the same issue actually. In the bottom right corner, anyway.
Like when I go to attach a picture to a text message, I have to hit the text box first so the paperclip button is out of the corner. I've also had some trouble unlocking with the camera or touching it from the Navbar, where it's positioned in the bottom right corner. :/

I have similar issues with that when my phone is plugged in. And my acreen often locks up kinda with the last image on the screen being the only thing you see until you reset.

I don't think I've had an image stuck to my screen yet. I have this problem even if it isn't plugged in, which is really strange. Not sure why it's so unresponsive, takes several tries to unlock/select.
And kudos for being in Portland too! :good:
Have either of you found a consistent way around the problem or a way to resolve it? Also are you running the phone in the base state that you bought it in or is it rooted / unlocked?
I just tested my phone, by opening the browser to google.com (mostly white background), all around the edge of the screen. And I can see feedback animations for all my touches around the edge of the screen. So I don't think there is any problem with the touch digitizer, at least on my phone. Phone is still stock, rooted and TWRP.
I have touch animation when I touch the bottom right corner on the lockscreen, but it doesn't always drag/ripple out. Sometimes it acts like I've pulled my finger off so I have to do it again.
Rooted, unlocked, stock.
After touch responsiveness got increasingly worse i contacted AT&T and they are sending me a free replacement since these issues seem to be covered under the one year warranty. Just throwing that out there in case anyone else gets as frustrated with the problem as I have and cant find a permanent fix.
I can confirm that I am having very similar problems... it is getting worse.
I am stock rooted and unlocked.
It is getting harder and harder to press things, fling actions (like scrolling through a list) hardly move a thing.
I just installed a multitouch visualizer and whenever I have 2 fingers on the screen and then go to cross them (start with fingers in opposite corners, move one up and the other down until they pass each other in the middle) it actually loses both fingers and then sometimes only one pops up again on the screen.
Can anybody try an app like this Play Store Link.
I've had similar results with 2 other multitouch testers.
Is it my phone, or everybody's?
----EDIT-----
Figured I would install the Base ROM (7.0>7.3) because either it was a software issue and maybe the ROM would fix it, of it was a hardware issue (I really didn't think it should be acting like that) and I would try to get it replaced.
The Base ROM fixed my issue (for now, fingers crossed).
Now using a multitouch visualizer, the contact points are always seen, even when the fingers cross.
Don't know what caused it, but it was software (at least for me).
----EDIT----
Just plugged in the charger again... now the touchscreen is acting strange again... this phone does strange things when plugged in...
