Boring Error - Streak 5 General

i tried 3 different roms same here.
when i got sms touch screen is not responding. when i reset it no problem. but i cant unlock i cant answer calls.
any people have same error ?
or
any offers to solve this problem ?

there is a thread about this somewhere around. it seems to have to do with a defect of the touchscreen panel especially if you place it in your pocket facing your leg. place it facing outside you should have no problem. also screen calibration via bootmenu is supposed to solve the problem (partly?). happened to me once, calibrated the screen, never happened again

Recalibrate the screen that fixed the issue for me
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

i made re-calibration lets wait for one day or two. bec here time is 11 pm so no body calls me after now lol lets wait for tomarrow

yeah now i have no more problems
re-calibration fixed every problem thanks all.

G-sensor calibration not working

Ever since I had this HTC Tattoo, I couldn't manage to calibrate the G-sensor and therefore the display doesn't turn when I rotate the phone.
I always get the message "Calibration aborted".
Do you guys have this problem? Did you find a solution for this?
Please help!
Reset phone
Already did it. Still not working.
Did you fix the problem yet, you could try a different rom or even reflashing the one on the phone already.
same problem here.....
I did try a different ROM, still nothing.
Then it could be a hardware issue. If I were you, I would've looked for a replacement.
have you tried holding the phone at a tilt and then calibrating?

Yep, I did try that. Still nothing. I think it's just a hardware problem.
I saw this in the Hero forum and I think it might help. There are 2 ways of checking a hardware fault with the G-sensor:
- either the Bubbles game which does not depend on the OS for sensor data
- or the Sensor Debug app.
If anyone of these apps gives you a good response from the sensor, then it is a software fault and you should harass HTC for a software patch. That's what the Hero guys did and it seems to have worked for them (in that case it seemed to be some kind of permission problem with the calibration log file).

[Q] HTC Legend Touchscreen Problem

hi,..
i own a HTC legend with A1 (Austria) Branding and made a 2.2 Over the air update. when i started to use it i thought that it would be faster but this has now rly changed.
Last thursday i could use my legend properly but then - 2 hours later the touchscreen didn't work any more .
i tried to unlock it but only the right side of the TS worked.
so i already tried some of the tips of some threads of XDA like hardreset , refreshing the update , and now it is a bit more useable , so i can slide the homescreen pages on different points but i cant start apps with touching..
Does anyone have a solving for this problem ?
I have no idea if the froyo update is responsible for this but I have the same problem. The top part of the screen is no longer responsive. I cannot slide the notification bar down and sometimes crazy things happen on the screen without tapping anywhere. This makes the phone practically unusable until I reboot and it usually works for some time even though the top part is not responding (notification or letter 'q' when in landscape).
Can I try something or I have to visit service? I cannot find the link where they explain how to change the refresh rate as you mention could you please provide it? also I found a couple of other threads dealing with similar problems and it looks like there is no solution am I correct ?
thanks
same thing happened to my Legend. After two months, the thing appeared, next few days all was good. Another two months and it came back. I had to send for service: they DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, anyway, after they sent it back to me, it's working again (until now, which is almost another two months)
My guest: there's some weird thing with the range/sensitivity of the touch screen, maybe a problem of the screen being magnetically/electronically charged without being discharged (as it should), after a while (e.g. a week) the problem disappears.
I far as I know, there's no solution. I have even found a clip on youtube (search for 'htc legend touch screen problem' or something) describing the same situation, maybe you should take a look there to for a abetter description of the case.
Anyone, please, if you know a way out of this, please, post it!
I have the same problem, the top notification bar cannot be pulled down in portrait and in all orientations I cannot use the touchscreen near the HTC logo. Mine is an unbranded and the problem just started this morning. I am running a custom rom from here and have been running the same one for a while so I don't believe the ROM is responsible.
Edit after using multitouch visible test from the market, it turns out I can't get a response that is higher than pixel 57 vertically.
I have already sent mine for service under warranty. I hope everything turns out well, because I really like my legend (form factor/design/specs). After the slow down I experienced with the froyo upgrade this problem came to spoil all these months of happiness. I will keep you posted.
EDIT:
I got my Legend back from service 3 days ago and everything looks fine at the moment. I hope that my bad froyo experience has ended.
According to the documents I received they just performed a ‘software upgrade’. This means that the problem was related to software. I guess some files could have been corrupted during the OTA froyo update. Maybe that also explains the sluggish froyo experience.
I can only suggest that before any critical updated a factory reset should be performed and hope for the best. I will update this thread if this serious problem with the touchscreen ever returns.
yeah i sent i to the warranty service too . But they said that the problem has mechanical reasons. So they suggested to repair it for 218(!!) Euros . -.-
I had exactly the same problem HTC have repaired it under waranty, so must have been a software issue, looks lik eits happening to quite a lot of poeple, pretty unacceptable consideringhow long it took them to release the Froyo update, not sur ethey bothered to test before releasing
Solution for screen problem ( HTC LEgend)

and everything should be fine after that

if you have question

Weird HD2 unresponsive screen

Now I've read about a problem of the hd2 having digitizer problems and that only a replacement will fix the unresponsive touchscreen issue. But why is it that when I can get my touchscreen to work that it works flawlessly until it goes to sleep? Then i have to continually wake and swype and sleep over and over until it responds. It just seems very weird that after it wakes that it never seems to have a problem. I'm using the miui rom right now and have set the screen to never go to sleep. So I want to see how long it will go without this problem. Has anyone else seen this happening with their phone as well?
Make sure the kernel, and Rom are up to date.
I have that too on an AOSP Gingerbread rom. The screen is not unresposive per se but calibration seems off some times, strage for a capacitive screen.
ive had the problem with android before and there were a few different fixes ...
one fix was to turn off compatibility mode
another was kernel
ive also had the problem with wp7 ( nothing a few hard resets and patience couldnt cure )
either way good luck
well since my first post, i hadn't let the phone go to sleep once and it worked perfectly fine. so i decided to turn off compatibility mode and let it go to sleep.... and when i woke it and i slid my fingers down it actually worked. so far it's worked every time. why would compatibility mode mess up the touchscreen though?
i have NO earthly idea! just a little tidbit i picked from a dev. i would speculate but would end up looking and sounding foolish. so im going to quit while im ahead and have actually been of help :-D cheers
Where can i disable compatibility mode?
I get the same problem. I've used a ICS rom for a day or so and suddenly the lockscreen was unresponsive. I thought it was ROM problem, so I flashed Cyanogen 7, but the screen didn't respond as well... I flashed everything to stock (removing magldr and hspl) and the problem stayed... After several restarts the screen started to respond and now it works (sort of). The tricky thing is: sometimes when I go out from some app in android, the screen doesn't respond again. Locking and unlocking the screen fixes this, but only temporarily.
Did this ICS rom screw something (...hardware?!) or is it a pure coincidence that a few people encounters the same problem for the first time in such a short period of time...
And one more thing... my warranty expired 5 days ago... please help!!!
I had this same problem with my phone before my warranty expired; before I flashed any android roms on it, and while it still had stock WM6.5. I called HTC customer support and they had me send in the phone for repair. They replaced the digitizer and I haven't had the same problem since. It was wierd because in my mind is seemed like a software problem because it would respond nicely as long as the screen was unlocked and the instant it was locked the response was very crappy, sometimes it took forever to unlock my phone. So it might somehow be a hardware issue

spare parts!
I repair phone myself and i can say that i get A LOT of hd2's with this problem. For the most part it is the hardware because no matter what software you put on the phone it is just a matter of the luck you have to get it working. My hd2 broke 2 times b4 and it was always hardware. Htc must of messed up with the hd2 digitizer

from what ive seen in photos of the leo mobo it looks like the connection for the screen/digitizer (not sure on hardware) is located right behind red end call/power button and from being mashed off,on,off,on,etc loosens/damages connection.
or is the hardware screen issue just a complete shot in the darks chance?
OH ... ive had the software issue (fixed as i mentioned earlier) AND unrepairable (with my limited tools and balls to physically tear into this badboy) hardware issues.
well, it's been a few days and my phone still seems to be fine. it hasn't once locked up on me yet. i don't know why turning compatibility mode would fix this. or maybe the phones connectors were loose and are now miraculously back in at the same time i unchecked compaibility mode. the only bad thing was that this was happening the last couple weeks and i had given up and already ordered a sensation 4g. or well, guess i have 2 phones now
Its seems possible. Every since I replaced my digitizer with a non OEM one its has never failed on me again. And I hope it never does. There dam expensive.

Compatibility Mode
I also have this issue, therefore I just recently flashed my hd2 with Tytung's 4.0 ICS Rom. As expected, this didn't help very much.. What I am now going to try before I send my phone to HTC is to disable compatiblity mode. BUT, I can't seem to find this compatibility mode check anywhere. Could someone please guide me there?
..
Windows 7
I will be flashing my phone with w7 now, to see wether this is an android kernel bug / softare issue or if this relates to hardware. I also see a lot of people saying that after fixing the digitizer it works again, so it might actually be a hardware issue. I will post my feedback when I have tried with w7.

Proximity sensor faulty galaxy s gti9000

Does anyone know of a way to remove the proximity sensor drivers or shut it off completely my screen just goes black during a call and i need to use the keypad during calls i have tried all the proximity apps on market and it has no effect, have tried calibration etc odin firmware updates to the point i killed my phone just got it back from repair and was told it needs a new chip to rectify the problem.
I have spent weeks going through forums for a solution and i know on my brothers sgs 2 it has a setting in the menu to turn it off.
This seems to be a common problem with no resolve so im looking for someone to resolve this problem and make alot of people happy.
We all no As these phones age this will be more and more common.
Techies get ur teeth into this or even software writers make An app n earn some cash,
This would b a great ego booster for someone to say i solved that when no one in the world could.
Thanks...........looney

Maybe this sounds stupid but why don't you just press the home button while you call. Screen will turn on again and you can access keypad or speaker or whatever. This takes only seconds...
Sry when I understood you wrong...

The common keypad when using phone is phone-keypad... *#0-9
Never tried other keyboard to send DTMF signals :\
Thx for reading, press THANKS if u like
if your phone screen goes black but does not become visible again when you move the phone from head (proximity sensor got two states 1 and 0) you either have badly flashed firmware or faulty sensor. for the first you can try reflshing to LATEST (unrooted) stock firmware from samsung and then checking again if your bug persist but for second only thing you can do is to return phone on warranty to service center.
anyways no app is needed for that. should work without any.
Hi thanks for the suggestions phone is in a crash state until force close happens so force close won't work pressing the home key or any other for that matter.
As like many i brought my phone second hand and although i have loads of Samsung kit registered with them Im an engineer and look to solve things in the future when warranties have long expired.
Thanks for the reply though monk.
I have googled the problem and i don't seem to be the only person with the fault.
Someone has written an app to kill drivers but don't know where the driver is for the proxy and its a new program with hardly any testing done so not sure if it will have any other adverse effects and killed my phone once already that's why Im asking more expert advice as Im fairly new to android os.

Nexus 4 touch screen defect (dead zone, phantom touch)
I have the same problem, I have a permanent ~1cm tall dead zone spanning the width of my Nexus 4, right about the location of the SIM card tray.
On occasion it is not a dead zone, but rather a "very haunted zone" where there are MANY phantom clicks/drags on different areas of the dead zone in VERY QUICK SUCCESSION. When this happens I have found that constantly resetting the phone (maybe 5-6 times) until it returns to normal (see: dead zone) is the only way to fix it.
That whole situation can take up to an hour to sort out, especially since during the orgy of phantom clicks/drags on the dead zone, the touchscreen is essentially a write off and turning it off is next to impossible, meaning that my phone is bricked for a portion of the day. This happens arbitrarily about once every 5 days.
I purchased my phone from Australia one month ago. Was not aware of any problem until I had returned to where I am currently living in China. I'm absolutely gutted that my first android experience has soured, especially after shirking apple because of (living through years of) their own hardware/software issues.
Why can't I just have a quality, working piece of tech?
So far the warranty options available:
1) Store I bought it from says: Send it to LG Australia (1 non-international warranty)
2) Google says: No google store purchase number, no return
3) LG China? - Can't find any information about LG warranty claims in China.
If I send it back to Australia for repair I will be waiting without phone for weeks, AND I'll get taxed at least $100 by greedy China customs when the phone comes back in. (not to mention the postage there and back)
The problem has become worse and worse as have used the phone. Can any of ye android bros possibly offer any sort of advice or even better, a fix, for solving this problem?

I have this right now. It's about a third of an inch located near the middle of the screen. It spans the entire width of the screen.
I sure hope it's just a software and not a hardware issue. I bought this in the US and I am now halfway around the world.
I had the same problem. For me it was right where the middle row of keys on the keyboard are or where the ring is on the lock screen.
5mm thick bar across the screen. I sent it back to be fixed and it's been fine ever since touch wood.
They replaced the entire screen on mine. This is definitely a hardware issue. I did a factory reset before I sent it back and the problem was still there.
Digitiser is too close to surface I think causing problems.

Guys i have the same problem since this morning.
I tried everything change roms 4.3 / 4,4 and finally returned to stock.
Nothing worked although i had never the same problem before.
So i tried my last chance. Changed radio image with the help of a Toolkit of our forum ( thanks N-Cry Toolkit )
It seems to be fixed for now , i just rebooted.
Hope it will be ok and you could fix yours too

Had the same touch screen issue for months; had a dead spot in the middle of the screen that would interfere with browsing and games.
Updated OTA to stock KitKat just last week and the problem went away. Hope you guys get lucky as well. :cyclops:

Ok... i created an account here because ive had this same problem for the past month at least, but I think i found a fix. It may take a few people to try it as well to see if its definitive.
I have the same 1cm high deadzone spanning the width of my device just lower than halfway from the top.
My troubleshooting led me to this: If its hardware, its only because the software is telling it something it shouldnt be. I'm sure nothing is broken (i.e., from being dropped, etc.) Something is wrong, for sure, but not broken per se.
I took screen shots of temperature and voltage (using CPU-Z app) trying to figure it out. I paid attention to when it happened and when it did not. I boiled it down to two possibilities: temperature and/or voltage (i can explain how i came to this conclusion if you want... would take a bit more explanation).
I charge my phone with the charger plugged into the wall typically. I live in asia so the voltage is a lot higher (but within the appropriate range of the phone). Yet, lately when i go to sleep, I plug my phone into my laptop to charge, rather than the wall... when i wake up the problem isnt there. About 2 hours later or so the problem comes back.
I tried this for a week (charging my phone with my laptop) and the problem is dissipating. As quickly as it escalated (getting gradually worse) it is now getting gradually better.
Try it and see if it works for you. At night when your phone is nearly dead, charge your phone with your USB port attached to your laptop. Try this for a few days. Maybe it will help. Im still troubleshooting specifics to see if it is definitive.
UPDATE: today, the day of writing this, i haven't had the problem at all and it's been nearly 7 hours and the 3rd consecutive night of charging with USB on my laptop.
Nexus 4 - 4.4.2
My dead zone appeared post-Lollipop update
I created an account for the purpose of also reporting this "dead zone" issue.
I elected, on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, to opt into the OTA Lollipop update. During the process of updating, I noticed my battery drained all the way to 0, while I thought nothing of it.
When the update was complete, I started to notice a dead zone in the middle of my screen when in portrait mode.
Actually, my dead zone spans an inch of my screen.
I have performed several hard resets, soft resets, learned about the ADK & adb, and downgraded all the way to 4.2.
I took the phone, this morning, to a cell repair shop and the technician said that it's not a hardware issue (although I'm not sure he's right).
So, that's my story. If I find a solution, I'll post it.
these dead spots IMO , are because of bad battery or bad charging ...

i could try the battery replacement on my nexus, when i get the time, ill get back to you if it works....
ok got the dreaded dead spot where the sim card is, i can't unlock my phone. i dont have usb debug enabled, i can push/pull files in recovery but not much more.
ive tried to change the dpi to move the pattern away from the dead zone by editing build.prop manually and pushing it to the phone but cm13 doesn't seem to take the change to build.prop so the dpi is stuck at 320.
now, im trying to set up usb otg and unlock my phone using a wired mouse and y-cable. but quanta doesn't have otg for marshmallow enabled out of the box and i dont have root access to enable it in an app.
is there a file that i can edit and push to the phone to enable otg_hack?
