[Q] Unresponsive screen within SMS/MMS interface - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had issues with the screen within the SMS/MMS interface? When in portrait mode, I cannot select the first message underneath "compose message" as if the screen doesn't recognize the touch. Only "compose message" and the second message can sense the touching on the screen. However, when I switch to landscape, there are no problems. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
EDIT: I was having issue with the above in Ice Glacier v1.1.6 and then I flashed the latest MIUI from eViL and was having issues touching the screen in the same area. Not sure what to think now...

Screen Freezes In Text Messaging??

If I am in the text messaging screen in landscape mode, and close the phone into portrait mode, the screen does not completely rotate.
The top portion of the screen switches, and the bottom menu bar switches, but there is a section about 1/3 the size of the screen that remains in landscape mode until I close the text message program.
It only does it in texting, no other programs cause this problem with the screen, and it has only started doing it since I hard reset the phone.
Any help??
Yeah, texting does some strange stuff for me too. Sometimes when I push the button to select the contact i want to text it takes quite awhile for it to bring up the texting screen. And yes, same as you on the switching from landscape.
hmm.... That's wierd. I cant seem to find anything else relating to this problem
i am having the same problem also.. but recently it stopped.. idk wuts going on?
well, i figured out what the problem was with mine. It was doing it because I hacked the registry for the SIP to completely kill the pop-up keyboard. After re-enabling it, no more screen issue.

Weird problem in SMS app

Whenever I tap on a message to reply, i cant simply tap to insert text, if i do it take away the cursor and highlights the last message in black. Or, I open then message and have to wait a few seconds for the last msg to be highlighted in black, then enter my text.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks.
I'm not sure whats happening with this bug, but I had this happen on 2 HD2s that I've had so far. It happens with both Swype and the regular HTC keyboard. Sometimes, I'll just be tryping, and all of a sudden, the screen will jump, and highlight a previous message (turn black) and then I have to tap the lower part of the current SMS message to get it refocued back again. Very unusual bug and I hope there is a fix for it.
I can start typing, but as you said it jumpes back. Then I must scroll down again.
It's the crappy HTCMessaging app. It has never been properly sorted since the HD2 came to be. Just do what i did and install a ROM that doesn't have that utterly ****e app on and you'll never look back

Do you know of a ROM for the T-Mobile USA HD2 that doesnt have HTC messaging?
Or is there a way to remove it from my current ROM?
Same thing happens to me today, I start typing, it jumps to the previous message and highlights it in black. Ugh, annoying!
same here
have the same bug and my HTC is becoming very slow..even when there is no application running in the background..have to soft reset atleast once a day..so much for the snapdragon and RAM
Same problem as I have - it's very annoying. Running the 1.66 SEA ROM, with Swype installed - although the problem began before I installed Swype. I find what actually happens is that the phone registers the keypresses, and if you tap on the write message area, those keys you've tapped appear. I believe I read somewhere else on the forum about this problem, but couldn't find the thread. Any suggestions for alternates to HTC Messaging?

HELP PLEASE! Text and In-Call Issues on HD2

I have the TMOUS HD2 and I am having 2 problems and I want to see if anyone else is either experiencing this or if it's just my phone.
On SENSE SMS messages, the keyboard will auto deploy and I will begin to type or Swype and nothing will show, unless I select or highlight the last message and then refocused on the blank area of my current message and then it will show. It's almost as if the screen doesnt redraw the text as I input it. It's VERY annoying.
When I'm in a call, and pull the phone away from my face, the screen will come on, but I can't press or access any button on the dialpad (Eg, Red Endcall or Keypad button) but I am able to press all of the hardware buttons and go to the home screen of Sense and do everything else on the phone. This is really frustrating, because I call my bank and I can't use the touch tone features to access my account or put a caller on hold and do the other features while on a call.
I would just like to know if these are isolated incidents that I'm just experiencing with my HD2, or is there a solution to theses issues. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys.

I think that's just something you have to deal with, I used to get it on the O2UK stock 1.43 ROM after installing the hotfix (I assume it's cooked into the TMOUS ROM). After installing Windows Mobile 6.5.x I haven't come across the issue.

This is a known bug that we all have. When you start typing, sense is busy loading all your txts from that contact, and when it has finished loading them it auto focuses on the last text. During that time you cannot see what you are typing, though it is still being typed. When you then select the text input area your typing appears.
The fix is to not have many texts saved.

you have either bsbtweaks "increase tap time" tweak turned on, or the increase taptime cab from the hints tips thread.
This tweak stops the incall screen from registering presses. Turn it off.
These are both very common, and there must be a few hundred threads asking the same questions.
The BST thing fixed the call problem I was having. And imma try to clean out the sms message to regain speed. Thankyou VERY much Samsamuel and Kalavere! Luv ya like a play cousin!

[Q] WidgetLocker ForceClose

I recently began using WidgetLocker. However, When I slide the keyboard out when the display is off, WidgetLocker force closes.
I'm running Bonsai Leafless 1.0.2, Gingerbread 2.3 theme, LauncherPro and WidgetLocker when the force close occurs. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Can anyone confirm this issue or is it something with my settings?
well i am running midnight ext4 v2.4 with LP and WL and I have no issues when I open the keyboard with the display off, the screen come on and WL is in Landscape.
happens to me 2 i stopped using it.
I think I *may* have found the issue. I'm not sure if it's the ROM, the theme, or some of my settings...
WithOUT WL running...
When I slide open my keyboard, it brings me to my home screen and bypasses the lock screen.
With the keyboard "closed", when I press the power button it brings me to my lock screen. If I slide out the keyboard while at the lock-screen, it bypasses the lock and brings me to my home screen.
I didn't find a setting for this in the phone settings or within Spare Parts. I guess I'll have to wipe and reflash the ROM and take it one step at a time to track down the problem.
I have been having the same problem with WL. I use GoSms to display incoming text messages on my lockscreen and i've noticed if my phone moves into landscape mode while displaying the text, WL force closes. I have tried the settings within WL to force portraid screen orientation but it didnt solve the problem
Yeah getting FC's on my R2D2 as well. Every time i slide the keyboard or set the phone in the dock. Hoping a fix comes soon.

No touch input after update to Lollipop

Need help as my phone became barely usable aftaer OTA update.
The top end of the screen (about 1 cm top to down) is not responding to touch. I cant tap any input in common use cases like using google search box widget, answering a call while in app using the new call feature, tap Send when composing an email and so on...
The only case this part of screen is active is when pulling down the notification bar, tapping objects like the clock (time display) Setting icon etc'. So I beleave this is not a hardware issue.
I did wipe the catch with no help and reset to factory setting with no help as well.
Did anyone experiance the same issue?
Any idea how can I overcome this except down grading back to 4.4.2?
Any easy trick for some one who is not a developer or deeply technical?
THANKS!
