Stock Rom and 6.1.
For as long as I can remember My Sprint Touch had intermittent issues with responsiveness. After boot up everything would be great, but over time the screen would require more and more pressure to execute commands. Eventually it wouldn't even respond to tremendous pressure from the stylus. At this point I'd reboot and everything would again be normal .
A similar misbehavior afflicted my D-Pad when scrolling. After boot up everything would be great but over time D-Pad scrolling became intermittent and then stopped altogether. At this point I'd resort to the stylus. If I rebooted everything was normal again.
After much googling of different search terms I found this thread - http://ppcgeeks.com/forum.ppcgeeks/showthread.php?t=34132&page=5
My symptoms seemed similar to theirs'. I even had the occasional "startkey.exe" error upon bootup. The thread suggested a potential connection between my push email client and these problems.
I was using the Sprint "Mobile Email" app found in "programs" on my device. I understand it is an earlier version of the "SEVEN beta" client now available online.
With this in mind I uninstalled the Sprint "Mobile Email" app and am happy to report that my screen and d-pad are functioning error free and have been for a week.
I apologize if this issue has been discussed here before. If it was I couldn't find it. With this in mind I thought I'd share my experience so others might benefit.
I've learned alot here and hope this is helpful to someone.
With this problem behind me I only have one issue left to resolve...
Bluetooth Volume .
Ho all,
I am having a serious problem with touch display alligning. It happened two times, on resuming it from stand by, touch screen lost its configuration. So that display becomes unusable becouse finger touch doesn't have a correct corrispondance. I had to restart device to have it working again.
Have you installed any custom ROMs? If not...
You'll want to contact HTC as this sounds like it may be a hardware issue. http://www.htc.com/www/support/nexusone/

No, I still haven't rooted it. It's with stock rom. HW problem? I wish in a SW issue..
I've seen this issue crop up on my rooted N1 as well. A reboot fixes it, as does waiting it out. For some reason I seem to notice it happening when I'm in the browser. There's a thread here about it (which evidently I can't link to since I'm new). Check the second page of the general section, the subject is "touch screen issues".
Seems like a software issue to me, but who knows.
The first thing to do if you have these types of obvious software issues is a hard reset (Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset). If that doesn't work, then it's time to call HTC.

Thank you all! I found the post where this is being discussed.
This is an issue many people are experiencing on google support forums, in fact it is the second longest thread after the 3g issues. It has also finally been pinned. Here is the link: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=04134c63c784258e&hl=en#all
Anyone experiencing the same problem please post in that thread, the more people that post the more chance for google to acknowledge this and remedy.
BTW I also experince issues with the touch screen which happen quite randomly and can normally be cleared with a power on/off. When the screen goes bad the touch is no longer registered in the correct spot on the screen.
So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????
To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??
I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.
Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?
Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.
Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.
All the best
To the OP,
There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:
- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out
- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you
- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc
- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there
- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.
Plenty to be getting on with.
Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.
Any different?
thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.
Two questions I have now:
-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time
-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...

I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.
so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?
using cooked roms you can generally expect a few lockups and restarts.
Also, the screen not powering up, just the hard keys backlight is an issue across the board, from custom roms to official roms. Some roms seem to do it, some don't, but one that doesn't do it to me might well do it to you.

It has been mentioned before that if you have a large number of texts stored, it will take a while for it to allow you to reply to a text. (It has to go through the database, check for the texts sent by the user, then arrange them alongside the ones sent to them by you, then put them in chronological order, then display them, this takes time)
but i would presume the device should be working anyway (but slower, of course) and not flashing the display and being "frozen" ?
The frozen issue with texts is all in the SMS thread I pointed you to earlier. Solutions to the phone freezing are in the HD2 Died thread, again as I pointed out earlier.
How many of these potential solutions have you tried? Tryy these things first then come back if they don't work rather than make assumptions about your ROM.

after 3 months i still have the issue with missed strokes.. even after the latest energy rom update :\
anyone?
Has anyone experienced any cut offs in audio when watching video of streaming music while all notifications sounds work? Tried to reboot phone, clean headphone jack and clear system cache but still doesn't seem to work. If anyone has a solution to this problem, leave a message.
Also: I have looked around and it doesn't seem this problem is that well known yet.
I am having the same issue! It's driving me crazy.
I'm experiencing the same issue . For me, it most likely to happen when i play game. I tried to watch youtube for an hour and a half to see if this happen, but it didn't do I'm not sure if its because of the game or the software/ hardware issue
Today I noticed that audio from videos (received via Whatsapp, or on YouTube) would fade out after a second or so. Reboot solved the problem.
I play YouTube streaming all the time in the car, and upto now it never did that.
What app are you using for music/video?
Stock?
I'm using Spotify or Amazon music and Youtube mainly. And this issue 100% will happen when i play Fire Emblem Heroes, i tried other games for ~15 min but this issue didn't happen
I've been having this problem the last few days. It started with Allo messages playing for two seconds then stopping. Now it's happening to YouTube videos I watch. So frustrating.
Found this thread over on Samsung community forums: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...rd-id/GeneralDiscussion/thread-id/2913/page/1
Sounds like lots of people are taking their phones back for exchanges. Might be a bad soldering connection on the phone.

Have you restarted your phone? Fixed the issue for me, so I think it's just a software-related bug. Plus, it only happens when I open games or other media when I have music playing (for example.)

multiple times....and I did the USB audio routing option. still doesn't fix anything.
only thing that gets the speaker to work is pressing HARD on the back cover of the phone about two inches above the speaker....and if that's the only thing that makes it work, it's gotta be an internal wiring/soldering issue

Man, do you think it's both a software bug AND a hardware issue, both causing similar problems?
The S8 really is a great phone when it works, but it seems to have a lot of infancy problems.
Think I found the solution.
Okay. First of all, thank you everyone for reply to this thread. I think I found the solution to the audio cut off problem. Every time when the audio goes off I just gave the phone a few Taps against my palm. So far, this method worked out pretty well for me.
The method I used was to held the phone by the top ear piece area and aimed the speaker area and just slapped it against my palm for a few times.

what a horrific "solution"
I have done similar.....press my finger hard against the rear panel...right above the speaker grille on the bottom of the phone.
so clearly, it's a hardware issue with wiring/soldering in the internals.
Here is a thread on the official Samsung foruns with LOTS of people complaining about the same: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...rd-id/GeneralDiscussion/thread-id/2913/page/1
I tweeted that thread to Samsung and Samsung USA....no answer from either
I'm slightly shocked more people aren't complaining about this problem
Because your phones are defective and defective phones (out of the total number sold) represents a tiny percentage.
Just get a replacement.
Some of the comments on Samsung forums make it look like a software issue. If you restart your phone and it works again it is a software issue and the "tapping" thing is just a placebo.
If it was hardware (bad connection), rebooting would do nothing.
But that is what makes it so crazy, the behavior is mostly pointing to software but the tapping on the back has worked twice for me. I'm really curious about an official word (if we're that lucky)
same problem
I have the same problem with my S8. Couldn't find any solution until now.
I have written several times to Samsung support, no answer until now...

I wrote Samsung support and Samsung Mobile on Twitter multiple times about his issue...and copied the link from the official Samsung forums that I linked on page 1...and they keep refusing to answer my question about it
I had the same issue with the sound I have a sim free s8 rang Samsung UK support yesterday they arranged a brand new phone which I received today via ups just swapped them over so I am very impressed with the there service
So far no issues
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
same issue here in the netherlands.. samsung told me to send it in for repairs
guys sorry to inform that it is most probably a hardware issue since only few customers including me are facing this. If it was a software issue then more customers will come up with similar complaints. Bad luck we may all got the same batch of faulty phones.
The reason why i am saying is that i started the device in safe mode and the issue is still there. By tapping right above the speaker clears the issue and same vice versa while playing if tap above the speaker the sound again cuts off meaning to say IT'S AN HARDWARE RELATED THING
I received a Z17 a few days ago and have really struggled with it. The phone feels really good but I am finding operation really difficult - the screen seems excessively sensitive. Most of the time when I touch or sweep the screen it register multiple touches - I hear multiple ticks. More often than not the app just tapped on opens then immediately closes (not force closing just going into background). Operating the phone is near impossible.
Is there a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity?

I don't have that issue. My screen issue is that it's too dark. I have to put it over 75% brightness or higher. I have a Bluboo Maya Max that also have an LCD screen from JDI that is pretty bright at 25% level.
Brightness seems OK here - although I might not be the best person as I typically run my screens at minimum/very low brightness unless I am out in the sun.
The sensitivity issue is driving me nuts though.
Bee
Updated to latest software version (2.44) but this has not improved the situation.
I have noticed that this is worst when I pick up and use the phone after it has been sat for a while. Things settle down if I continue to use the screen for an extended period of time - it seems like the screen is hugely sensitive and is picking up static on my hands.
Hopefully there will be a way to recalibrate the screen, maybe once root, unlocked bootloader and custom roms all become possible.
Still surprised no one else has reported this issue. Really hoping to find a way to re-calibrate the screen sensitivity.
Here is a video showing the problem. Basically it is nearly impossible to use the phone when you first pick it up, it does seem to improve after continue use.

If you turn up the volume (and watch the red home indicator) you will hear/see that each touch is being registered multiple times.

i will receive my Z17 on Tuesday... then, for my part, i will answer again.
actually i have an off topic question: u can use google chrome?
if yes, how?
any other google apps?

Yes - chrome works. You will need to get from apkmirror or similar.
Like others I tried installing google framework & play but this didn't work. Google music would run but unless you have local files you can't do anything with it.
I REALLY want to like this phone but so far it just isn't usable as a daily driver.

I have the same problem, exactly as you describe it! It appears that it's the Recent Apps button that has the problem (at least on my phone) as it is the only one that activates on its own. It also seems as if it "accumulates" button presses when left alone, so it has to "release" them during the first couple of minutes that you pick it up again. Then it is more or less ok.

I was hoping the same but this is not the case unfortunately. Problem is still there with the latest Resurrection Remix (5.8.4). It's a shame, it's a great phone otherwise but this bug is driving me mental
Not just me!
Sort of pleased someone else has the same problem! Agree that it isn't fixed in RR. Hopefully there will eventually be a solution.
I tend to deal with it by holding the phone between my two palms (i.e. holding my palm fully across the screen) for a second or so when I pick the phone up after it has been sat for a while. This seems to reduce the sensitivity (or remove static build up?) and things work normally.
Of course this shouldn't be necessary and not something you want to do when trying to answer a call.

Hello Boboskins
Can't access to your video
Sadly still not found a solution. I have tried RR (up until about 10 days ago) and now using Mokee. Appreciate your comments on the recent updates - I will take a look at the log in case the latest RR updates solve anything.
EDIT: Ursus91, just took a look and Photobucket appears to have stopped allowing 3rd party views. I will upload somewhere else and update the link once I am done.
@boboskins : thanks, it should be helpful to understand the problem you encounter. I'm not sure to understand. And I'm still waiting to use the phone every day
I have the same problem
Same problème here ! When i use the phone it seems it close app or back like i hit the button. :/ Really annoying :s
Hello,
I have the same problem too. The sole solution from GeekB is to return the phone for repairing...
I have it sometimes on the left button (in the major cases), the middle button has actually no problems, the right, sometimes.
I use the middle button to come back to "the main view" (icons) and then, the left button seems going alive.
I'm not sure it is a hardware problem
Edge gestures issue
Greetings!
I've just started using Nubia Z17 Lite and found out that the specific edge gesture to control the brightness level doesn't work on my unit. Does anyone know if this is a bug that can be resolved by an update or did anyone have the same issue and has fixed it?
I'm quite sure the problem isn't with the hardware because other edge gestures seem to work fine.
Thanks ?
Nubia Z17 black screen
Good evening. I own a Nubia Z17 8gb ram 128gb rom and today had a problem. His screen is black and the LED on the menu button is on. It obeys no command. He did not fall, everything perfect. Could someone help me with this problem?
