I am having a random issue. My bottom keys have become very laggy. I have been running Froyo for over a month without any problem and today it started acting up. I thought it was the kernal I was running, but then I installed the Tmobile 2.2 leak, and two other 2.2 roms still having the same issue.
The keys will lag and I will feel the vibrant start stop and start again.
Has anyone had their bottom keys fail?
Any ideas?
EDIT: Formatting SDCARD fixed the issue.

I'm running Black 2.5 as my ROM, but it's happened on all ROM's, including the Cingular stock WM5 rom. The keyboard just stops working. It comes back sometimes on it's own a few minutes later, and always after a soft reset, but what causes it?
Does this happen to anyone else, and is it a hardware issue, or a software issue?
Does happen to me sometimes. Had one this morning. Not only k/b, but the scroll wheel as well.
Keyborad not responding
Hello,
Have same problem after flashing rom.
I thought that maybe I did it wrongly but also my friend discover this issue.
From time to time external keyboard not responding and on-screen keyboard is working but DEL key is also dead.
Also other buttons like green/red phone keys not respondig.
Sometimes problem disapper automaticaly sometimes I have to reset phone.
Any solution?
Has anyone found information on this problem? I have had my 8525 for about 6 months now and this has happened to me on the original shipped ROM as well as both Black 2.5 and 3.0.1.
It happens usually during texting, and like stated previously, sometimes it comes back on its own, and sometimes it takes a soft-reset to get it working again. I am able to finish the typing using the SIP before soft-resetting.
I haven't paid attention to whether or not the scroll wheel stops working or not. I'll keep an eye out for that. Also I can't figure out what's triggering this problem. It seems very random.
I would start to think it's a hardware problem since I have seen it on 3 different ROMs, but so many of us are experiencing the same issue.
Happens on my Vario 2 sometimes. I've put it down to me using the keyboard whilst the CPU is bogged down too much, and it just doesn't 'see' the interrupts coming from the keyboard I/O controller, and then it loses its sync.
I usually just soft reset at that point, because I can't be bothered to wait and see if it comes back
I have it sometimes when using IM and PIE. Closing PIE and waiting a couple of minutes usually brings it back.
Remember eclair, when the screen every now and then went crazy and registered in a whole completely different spot other than where ya touched, causing you to have to shut your screen off and back on. Quite annoying but not a big deal since it rarely happened especially on customs ...
I figured I'd wait for this poll to pop up or read about it, but itching to know.
Anyways has anyone experienced this behavior with froyo yet?
I have not and for me that's awesome. Although it was minor and infrequent it still wasn't cool...
I've had this happen twice so far in two days, both times in the bottom right corner of the screen. Tapping 1 inch away from the bottom right corner would actually tap 1 cm farther down from where my finger was. But a quick screen off fixed it.
I had this problem very frequently the last few days.
I don't know what happend, as I had no problems since the froyo-update, but now it seems to come back – worse than ever.
I have MoDaCo Froyo and sometimes the screen goes really crazy (at every second touch, so not just rarely as in the past). But it still fixed the problem, if I try turning it on and off again…
I hate it
Yeah same, only in the last 5 or so days has this started happening.
Bottom left corner. Whenever i try to press the letter 'a' im either pushing the numbers button or the 'back' button. A right pain in the arse!
Also experienced this issue frequently, recently. The difference is trying to type a space and it going back.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
happens when im typing. i hit "L" but it does backspace or any letter near the space bar as well. -__- like other people said a quick screen off fixes it. still annoying though.
Same for me. Used to be infrequent but since froyo its all the time. I eventually called support and they said must be acalibration issue so they are sending me a new phone. But I don't think its a hardware problem. We will see. Interestingly they did suggest a hard reset and of course I said I'd tried that (which I hadnt). So after the call 4 days ago I did try that and I have not had the problem since. New hardware should turn up tomorrow, so I guess I will swap it anyway and see what happens. Gina tripan was talking about this in This Week In Tech so I think its a widespread problem.

So a hard reset resolved the issue for you? Did you do a Titanum backup or sth like this or would that restore the touchscreen issues as well?
I don't want to lose all settings/app data/... again
But I guess if I only restore apps and app data (and no system settings etc.) it might work?
I can confirm that teh hard reset did NOT solve the problem, and I am still waiting for my new hardware.
I did not do a titanium backup, I just had the setting checked for my data and apps to be backed up with Google.
All my apps got reinstalled automatically, all I lost was the notes from my AK Notepad app which I thought were stored on SD Card but which are not (you can manually export them and reimport after hard reset if you need to).

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!!
Has anyone run across an issue where their back button seems to self-activate and get stuck "down"?
About 2-3 times a day I'll be using my phone and it just goes spastic. The only means to stop the back-spree is to press the back button to "reset it" to the non-pressed mode. It's seems to be happened more and more often, which makes me wonder if I need to warranty my phone.
I'm running Superclean Froyo (.8), but it was happening on Superclean Eclair as well.
Anyone have a similar issue?

I've had lagging buttons recently on DL30 but nothing that severe. I'd try a fresh download and re-installing and seeing if it fixes the issue.
Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my A4g.
Basically, once in a while, the screen starts to press on its own. Usually towards the middle of the screen, so if i go to text message, keys such as "F" and "S" get rapidly hit on their own! Turning off and on the screen helps fix it, but sometimes i need to restart the phone altogether.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on Gingerbread with Unlocked bootloader and rooted but this problem has been around since i got the phone.
we'll need to know a little bit of information on your phone.
are you running stock software? (for instance, i'm using Ninja Speed Freak 0.4.5 and Faux's custom OC kernel)
have you dropped your phone recently?
has your phone gotten any contact with water recently?
do you have any suspicious third party apps installed?

OMG! its like a spirited game!!!
Sometime it happens to me, the screen to become unresponsive..
And i turn of the screen and on and its gone.
The thing happened at you it happens only with raindrops.
And rarely FP sensor dont work, so i reboot..
Are you stock? Or on a custom rom probably ?
As i wrote in OP, i'm running on the AT&T Unlocked bootloader 2.3.4 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
This problem isn't due to the rom, it happened to me before the update too.
Ive only dropped this phone once since May and it was on carpet.
have you tried doing a factory reset? quick google search brought this up for me, but i'm not having the problem so i can't test it out myself for ya =\

That was the first method i tried 3-4 months ago with no luck.
I can't do that anymore because of the unlocked bootloader
