Streak Touch Response Messing Up

This just started yesterday but the bottom of my screen (the side where the serial port is) seems to be less responsive than normally. When I go to click to respond to a text message I find myself having to press it repeatedly. Sometimes the whole screen becomes un-responsive or if I click up top it will actually make a response at the bottom. Could this be at all due to an app or something I installed? Because normally when I put it on standby (pressing the power button once) and turn it back on it will fix it all but the unresponsive bottom section for texting only. Does this make sense to anyone why this could be happening?

Just having touch problems all together
i keep pressing the screen so many timees... even tried to restart and take the battery out. but still same problems
any help
Thanks

Try recalibrating the touch screen guys, that might help. Also if you have a screen protector on, try removing it, I found my first one got more unresponsive over time.

I dont like screen protectors for that very reason and dont use them. But where is the screen recalibration? I've looked and looked for it since this started happening. It's half way working now and really just varies. So if there is a way to calibrate I really feel like that would fix it. Thanks!!

yeah mine did that and calibration fixed it.
power it off, hold down both volume buttons and power it on, holding down all three until the menu appears.
Choose option 3 and away you go!
hth....

Haha, this completely fixed it!!! I'm so excited right now becaus I was terrified I did something to it. It works perfectly again. Thank you guys so much!!!

It's nice to be able to give some advice that works for a change

Back Button Problem

This might be a relatively small problem but it can be a little annoying. The back button (right side of the menu button) seems to be a little less responsive and 'smaller' than the options button (left side of the menu button).
By smaller I mean I need to click it exactly at the right spot and the button reponsive 'area' seems to be very small compare to option button which seems to take up most of the left side allocated to it.
I am not sure if this is intented or some kind of software/hardware fault?
I read about upgrading touchpad firmware through *#*#2663#*#* but there are reports than this could brake the buttons completly.
If anyone has any information it will be greatly appreciated.
P.S phone is not rooted and I bought it from vodafone Ireland.

there are a few threads on the hardware buttons not working correctly try the search.
I found one about the back button, not a lot of info though.

I have the same issue but also to another extent. Mine has an issue where sometimes it will double tap when I only press it once. This can get annoying. I do have a screen protector on and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Same thing happens to me ... but Its kinda rare(I am not using a screen protector). Does anyone know a solution? should updating firmware fix this?
I am thinking about asking for a replacement.

Replace it, same problem with my first unit, 20% of the presses didn't register

So the only way to fix it is to replace it?

I would imagine someone can make a mod to the touchkeys for like a certain millisecond delay between presses to fix the double tap. People have patched hardware keyboards for stuff similar to that.
As far as the non-registering presses, that might have something to do with delay too. A smart developer would have to try and look at it though I'm just guessing here.
I haven't noticed the non-registered presses in a while, not sure if it went away with a new kernel or if I just got used to how to press it to make it work. The double tap happens more often to me now lol.

Happened to me on my first unit, back button was only responding about 50-60% of the time, on the 2nd phone back button was extremely sensitive ( as sensitive as the SAMOLED screen which is a huge plus) 3rd phone seems "normal"

Galaxy S2 back button getting pressed twice on a single press.
When I am in 2nd/3rd level screen of an app, back and menu button lights go off(but screen is on). While pressing back button sometimes it's going back 2 levels with one, single press! As if I have pressed it twice. It doesn't happen always though.
Is there any fix for this?
PS: I am using a screen protector. Will remove it and see if that's the culprit or not.

u shud b thankful mate..my home butoon stopped responding at all

Hi,
Sorry to hear that.
But how did it happen? And how old is your phone? It must be still under warranty. Did you try taking it to the service center?

Back button problem sgs 2
I was also having this annoying problem.....searched over XDA....and found some tricky (fishy) codes for updating touch firmware.....which may end up braking those keys....so i stayed away from those tricks..
i googled again and found one method which finally worked for me
To get sgs2 into sleep use power button...nd for waking up use home (centre) button...this worked for me

Odp: Back Button Problem
Sorry for digging it up. I have the same issue, sometimes back button is acting like it was tapped twice. Is there any sofware solution instead of replace any parts?

touch screen problems on used Atrix

I got a used Atrix yesterday from my local secondhand store here in the Sunny UK
I have been using it stock with nothing done to it. and when I turn it on I can swipe to unlock but then when screen loads it will not allow me to swipe or touch, to do anything on the phone.
Its done it a number of times, also one time I had the market icon on the top right hand side of the first screen and the camera app second icon in from the top left second row down and when I pressed the market icon it started to load the market, then cocked up and i was told to force close it, and under the force close bit was the camera app running even when I had not touched it.
also voice control has started when i have only pressed once on the touch screen. I was told in the shop I took it back to that voice control starts with two quick taps on the home button. but I had only pressed it once.
I made a video of it going wrong and the checky bloke told me that it could be anyones phone i had video'ed and they could not allow that to be used to prove the fault.
its in for test, but I do not hold much hope for them as its not something that happens all the time.
I do like the phone but if they do not test it right ( ie long term ) they might say its fully working.
what I'm trying to find out is, where do i stand trying to send it back to motorola as its used.
i will film it again as when you turn screen off then on again it works and then i can pull up the imei number to prove its the same phone.
one last thing I did notice with a white background there seems to be a tiny dark patch on the screen about 5mm

Does the phone say "unlocked" when booting? Could be an issue with the PDS partition, search for the PDS fix and flash it if you're unlocked.

Voice control starts with 1 long tap of the search button, not two short taps. You may have been confused.

no it does not say unlocked. while booting, it just has the motorola dual core icon and then the t mobile logo

[Q] Screen Not Responding to touch

Hi-was wandering if anyone can help. I brought a Samsung Galaxy Note a few days ago and was really pleased untill someone tried ringing me. When I tried to answer the call by pressing the Green Accept Call icon and sliding my finger (as per the instructions) I noticed that the screen didn't respond. The same thing happens when the phone is asleep and I press the home key to bring up the unlock screen to use the phone. I would have press the home screen twice before pressing my finger on the screen for the screen to respond.
The strange thing is I can do all the above if I use the stylus.
This leads me to suspect I may have a setting wrong.........can anyone help or has anyone heard of this?
thanks

I do not have a note but there are 2 places in the Galaxy phone where you can set screen sensitivity so I would guess the Note would be similar. One is in the secret code section and to be honest it has been over a year since I played with that, so you will have to look that up. The other was a normal setting menu I think it was in display settings but don't remember now since I have been on a custom rom forever. Google the Galaxy phone touchscreen sensitivity. I do remember this the settings I played with were too sensitive or to hard no in between. Not much help but it is what I recall.

Hi oka1
thanks for the advice. I rang up the retailer and described my issues with the mobile and they told me to send it back for a replacement as it is only 3 days old.

NP not much help I am going to close this thread since this is resolved

Phone sometimes vibrates when pressing power button

Hey all, my Slim Armour finally arrived and have put it on, so far i am liking it so will see how it goes
However... sometimes when i pick it up and press the power button the phone vibrates, i cant remember if it was doing this before i put the case on as well
the case has gone on pretty well, was a pain to get on (split it into 2 parts) and the plastic bit is slightly slanted, not even 1mm though, tired to move it but it wont, you cant notice it unless you go looking for it
all the buttons work fine and cutouts are all lined up perfectly
i thought it was only when i had a text message on screen but it did it when there wasnt one, confused :S
its just done it again however this time i locked the screen after i received a message and a few secs later it vibrated

It's a feature. I don't know how to turn it off though. It must be somewhere in the Settings.
Everytime you recieve a message or any other notification and you don't check it, the next time you use the phone it vibrates to tell you that you have unread notifications.
Maybe someone who has a Note will tell you exactly how to turn it off. But don't worry, your phone is fine.
