Erratic/laggy touchscreen performance

I've been getting very strange/unwanted touchscreen issues for a while now. It seems to happen randomly and for hours at a time. When I press the power button to wake the phone and turn the screen on, I can't even drag the unlock slider to unlock the phone. It takes numerous wake/sleep power button presses until I can get the screen to respond to my finger. Sometimes I'll be typing and it will go crazy and highlight buttons back and forth quickly, usually two or three letters almost always off to the left side of the screen. When this happens I am unable to get it to stop or register any other screen presses. I have to press the power button and then press it again to wake it and I'm stuck at the unlockable lock screen. Only after repeated attempts does it finally get through and the problem will go away for a while, only to come back later.
I have used the program 'Dotty' to track the touch points and I noticed that it will sometimes show a multicolored touch point off to the left of the screen and it will jump around, and it won't detect any other new touch points.
Soooo I think my screen touch sensor is messed up somehow. Does anyone else have this happen? Seems to have started when I flashed the kernel to get rid of the 30 fps cap. I have recently flashed Fresh 3.1.0.1 and still have this problem, different kernel with that rom correct? I'll try to get a video up sometime to show this in action...

Yes, I've been having the exact same issue. I even did a hard reset, with the assumption that it was an app. My plan was to add them back slowly until I got the issue, the problem was it happened as soon as the phone rebooted on the reflash. I have no idea what the issue is, but its very frustrating.
I'm running 2.2 stock...

Some people have reported touch screen problems with netarchy's kernel. There is usually a revision to correct this problem for people who are experiencing it. I suggest you carefully read over the OP in that thread and determine what kernel is right for you. There is usually a version specifically for Fresh users also.

MIGHT i ask what widgets are you running??
i talked about it before when running the pre-official ota rom.
it was my htc music widget (half sized one) i had running on the home screen.. caused lag like a mofo, couldnt swipe most of the time, capacitive buttons wouldnt react, pressing the app drawer button wouldnt respond till 5 seconds later...
AS A MATTER OF FACT.
im running fresh 3.1.0.1 + latest kernel + music widget on home screen.. LAAAGGG like before. removing it makes things snappier again.
YEP. Its happening again.
when i ran the STOCK Official rooted rom, with music widget on home screen didnt produce this lag and poor touch input, even with kernel it didnt produce this problem.

Mine is fine, no screen problems!!! stock rooted rom!!

froyo 2.2 black screen - experienced by most

Froyo 2.2
After putting the phone in stand-by by pressing the "end" key, the phone wakes up fine within 1 minute, 2 minutes or even within 5 minutes.
However, if the phone is left for about 10 minutes or longer, the phone resumes back with the "black screen" or "dead black screen" - as referred to in many threads all across.
Solution found:
Pulling the battery out and restarting the phone resolves the issue.
This solution is quite troublesome and long process to go through.
Any advice?

Can you explain how I update the radio to this one and where I can find it? Sorry for noob questions. Someone upgraded this phone to froyo 2.2 not me.

yes please, help in regards to upgrading the radio would definitely be appreciated!

It seems like I found the solution to my problem. I had to remove the dual boot application by JMZ in order to resolve the "dead black screen" or "screen of death" issue.
I hate to not have dual boot capability, however, would upgrading the radio resolve the issue with continuous use of JMZ?

It did not fix it for me - I went through 7 battery-outs / reboots and then booting into Android - every single time (7 times) I got Screen of death... I deleted the whole thing all together and will test out V2 of FroyoStone Series ...
Forgot to mention my SODs occurred on FroyoStone Series V1...
Quite interesting enough, my V1 FroyoStone worked for about 10-14 days easily without a single SOD (!!???!!) - go figure.

three things to try when you have a black / blank unlock screen / sod :
1) You know where the unlock swipe is. Just swipe with your finger on the black screen and screen turns on. (even if you can't see it)
2) Try waking up the phone by yes/send/call button instead of no/end/hangup button.
3) enable menu button unlock from cyanogen mode (if you have it) and unlock with the menu button.
Please provide feedback if any of this works for you in the long term.

I loaded the JMZ dual boot application and the SOD appeared again. I tried doing what you suggested but it didn't work either. Uninstalling the JMZ dual application resolved the issue and the HD2 works like a charm with Froyo2.2 by Darkstone.

Can you explain how to uninstall the JMZ dual application? Sorry. T__T!

I'll share my experiences:
The SODs have been my main problem with the builds. Everything else works just fine. I have also formatted and re-formatted the sd card and so on... nothing helps.
I tried Finger Lock screen from the market... after installing it I have not had a single SOD or reboot during charging. If I disable it, it is just a matter of time when the next SOD will happen.
And another good thing: it never gets stuck waiting after button press like the regular one, instant response.
But god I hate that lock screen... hope to find some other that makes my phone work like this one.
I have mentioned this in another thread but hopefully someone capable of understanding what is the difference between these screens can also figure out how to fix it .

.BetaBoy: My HD2 is setup pretty much in the same way as yours (in your sig) however I am running 2.11 radio and get the "blackness," as I call it often. I am updating my radio to match your's from your sig and hope it works. If it doesn't, any other suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

3.1 deep sleep bugs

Hey everyone. Ive been searchnig around and cant find any information on this. I was told that the tablet enters a deep sleep mode to save battery. Ive noticed that while im playing music and the tablet screen times out, after the song finishes it never moves on to the next song. Also when it wakes up the screen is unresponsive for a few seconds. I have tried a few roms and thiese issues seem to be on all of them. Anyone else having this? Any fixes?

i have a similar issue where if the screen is off for longer than about 5 minutes, the wifi disconnects. its not really a problem since it jumps back on pretty quickly, i'm more wondering if anybody else has this. and sometimes, if the screen is off longer than a day or so, it worn't wake up - i have to powercycle it...

Your wifi is disconnecting due to your wifi policy in settings.
As for the "deep sleep", I've seen this once or twice. Seems to be something endemic to the Tegra chipset itself, as it gets reported on all devices.

the screen not responding i can put up with if i have to. but i have never had these issues with 3.0.1 stock. im not downplaying any of the amazing roms out there. because i know this is an android related bug. i was told i should try another music player as some have a workaround for this issue. but google music on the tablet is the best music player imo. anyone know of a fix? can someone else also confirm that the music issue is present on their device?

Hi,
Same things here : when the screen is off, the player never goes to the next song.
Any fix ?

I've noticed this deep sleep thing a few times with HC3.1. Can't seem to wake it backup up once it's in it. Don't know about the song issue with it.
Normally when the screen goes off, i just hit the power button and it's ready for me to do my unlock pattern. But when it goes into this deep sleep, it refuses to wake up. I have to hold the power button down for about 10 seconds (no vibration noted). let go, then hold it down for about 8 seconds until I feel the "boot up" vibration.
It hasn't bothered me too much yet. It doesn't seem to do it very often. I guess I use it often enough to keep it from doing it.

Yeah, that's what i was trying to describe in the second half of my post. Much better said here, anyone else experiencing this annoying if non-frequent issue?

yes, i have a few times, on 3.01 and 3.1

both of my issues where solved in android 3.2... i am once again happy

Can you all possible update your posts with what build of 3.1 you're using?
I am in the US and was on .08 and my sleep issues from 3.0.1 were completely resolved so I'm trying to find out if it still exists on foreign builds of the ROM.
If you're on the U.S version - I know you don't want to hear this, but you might want to try a factory reset. There could be some settings 'stuck' in the system. A file that didn't get overwritten which was supposed to by the update, etc. Anything can happen. It's like going from 1 version of Linux/Windows to the next using an upgrade when you don't factory reset.
Alternatively, you could also wait for the .10 version being seeded right now to see if that helps. But as I mentioned, I didn't have the issue on my tablet so it's likely some folks are experiencing a software glitch.

Any solution to this? Any good players that would work as they should?

[Q] Screen not coming out of sleep when pressing button

I'm having temporary screen freezes when I want to take out my HTC HD2 with tytung's ICS version. When I press the buttonss they light up but the screen stays black. I can still receive phone calls and connect it to a PC, where the PC recognizes the phone. Sometimes after 20-30 minutes the wakes up like normal when I press a button.
Does anyone know the cause of this and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Has your screen been unresponsive lately ?
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993787
I think your end button .. is dying?

It is not just the end button. None of the buttons give a response although they light up when I press them. Sometimes after 10 minutes or half an hour the phone is responding again.

Does this happen on every ROM? Also try flashing another kernel. It may be driver or hardware related.

It also happened with the previous ROM from Tytung. I disabled wifi for 2 days now and the problem has not occured yet. Normally it occured every day. Can it have something to do with WIFI?

i have had the same issue, and for me the only solution was to flash a new rom. if you're going to do that: try miui, i think it is very good(as soon as you've fixed all the problems with it it works perfect)

Did you try a clean install with task 29 before?

I only did the task29 the first time I started flashing a rom. After that I only changed the partition size once and updated from the zip file. What will another task29 do?
I have wifi disabled now for 4 days and haven't had the problem again. It seems that other people also have this issue, but is there no solution?

Nexus 4 screen freezes randomly, no reaction when touching.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!

The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.
Sent from my Nexus 4

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me

Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
