hey guys, I´ve been having some strange behavior on my M2 lately, everything was normal till last week but now the phone started registering random inputs on all over the screen... its like I am touching the screen madly... I´ve already tried flashing the retail brazil SBF and everything still the same... I can´t even answer the phone straight!!!
any ideas? maybe my digitizer has gone crazy...
Take a look at this vid. It's mine. It is happening when i'm scrolling fast. I think I will send it to a service.
I get this when my phone is on the lockscreen connected to my pc.

this happened to me a few times before. once was when i typed a really long email using my keyboard. when i shut the qwerty it started behaving crazy. a few other times was also after i used the keyboard.
then i realized something in common. the problem only occurred when i had 'words' running in the background. i uninstalled 'words' and i have never had the problem since
perhaps u have a really buggy software. try uninstalling one of ur buggy softwares and u would be grand.
if u cant locate the buggy software, turn off the screen (short press of power button), turn it on again, and unlock, and things should be back to normal
well... it look like I gonna have to send it to service too... I´ve already wiped it clean... I´ve done a clean flash of the brazil retail SBF and everything is the same... random issues all over... bad luck right?
thanks for the support guys!
I have not experienced this problem...maybe because I'm running stock ROM?

Hope it can be fixed..

how do you turn down the sensitivity? i dont recall seeing any option to adjust the screen sensitivity. unless u could do this after rooting the phone perhaps?
Hi dude?!! I dont know if you ever experiences random reboot.
I got my phone not responding (when touch power or menu button) and i could see the Samsung logo hazy. But always resolve by reboot (hold the power button for 8 seconds)
I didnt root or apply lag fix. Is this probably cause by certain app ??? i use some of optimizer or tweaking app.
Usually this happen when i didnt touch my phone over 2 hours. This is very annoying to me. How could i resolve this problems. Does anyone know? please share!!!
Me too
Hello, I have the same issue.
My phone is rooted and i'm using the rom: I9003XXKB1 from Movistar ( spanish operator ).
Compilation number: FROYO.BGKB3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
The phone freezes randomly and i need to force a reboot holding the power button.
Sometimes it directly reboots alone.
Greetings.

Funny ****, got the same issue on my i9000 on 2.3.4 JVP with CF-Root... also had it on Froyo 2.2.1... this sucks big time, any input or hints appreciated.
Try a new fw first and post the results. Dont add anything else then observe. If all else fails, take it to where you bought it from and get a new 1.

I occasionally have a random reboot as well though I haven't had any again after disabling the live wallpaper i had running from GO Weather.
Mine is a GT-9000 / 2.3.3 stock /I9000XXJVO/GINGERBREAD.XWJVH/ stock kernel at the moment
Didn't have the reboots/freezes before the last standard KIES update though.
You said "i use some of optimizer or tweaking app."
I'd say start by disabling/uninstalling all stuff that you don't really need.
Check if there are apps configured to run in the background and disable those as well

I ever think that maybe cause by bad memory management in Froyo, thats why i use that kind of tools.
But, i'll try to get rid of it, and lets see.

Everybody seem concern to latest Gingerbread that actualy still trial ROM
Buts every feedback really needed for I9003 sake.
I have upgrade to 2.3.4 and getting worst after 10min idle. But with some trick from this forum getting better and now still evaluate.
Try this
Select all animations from display menu

Hi utkarshshrivastava, i did it. But still no hope
is it related to battery calibration or something like that ???
Now, iam back to xxkb3 an experienced with this reboot issue again
just rooted and use some apps like TitaniumBackup, Go Launcher Ex, Go Weather.
hmm...just dunno how to figure this out, not only with latona, the other device in other brand also experienced it.
In the past few days, my keyboard has been acting up. I've been using Smart Keyboard pro since the day I got my phone and LOVED it, but for the past few days, it's been acting the bollix. Basically, I could be pressing the delete button for maybe 4 or 5 times, and it would enter 2 z's and delete 3 charachters?
I thought that it might just be the keyboard, so I switched to the default one, and it did happen, but not as much. I have just installed the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market, and it seems to be working ok, but it's still annoying. Anyone else had any problems with their keyboard entering random letters?

Try removing the factory installed screen protector... it does wonders for touch sensitivity and brightness of the screen. I highly recommend it.

already done that
I too have had this problem twice now.
The first fix was to install Gingerbread Keyboard and it seemed to fix.
Then i had the same problem again (If i pressed "p" it would also press "t" and pressing "delete" would also press "c") and fixed it by cleaning the screen with a wet wipe.
The problem for me when it happens is basically when you press the right hand side of the screen in landscape mode, it also think you are pressing the middle of the screen at the same time.
Its only happened twice so im not all that bothered.
Try cleaning the screen with wet wipe and see if it fixes.
I've been using swype...and as cool and innovative as it is...I'm always having to double our triple check my text msgs and posts...lately I've been having to correct my corrections..its a bit ridiculous so I'm trying to get into the habit if reading what I type every few words..

I just posted a thread about a multitouch issue on the xperia play. I think it may be causing your problems. It may not make sense what I am saying right now but if you read my thread it might make sense.
Basically when you are typing fast you will definitely have 2 touch points on the keyboard. and the Xperia Play is counting more than 2 touch points. So your third touch maybe registered as a 3rd finger.
Here is my post if you want to take a look
OK. I've just cleaned the screen with a wet wipe. I'm going to post this message and leave it if it makes any incorrect entries.
Seems to have worked. I will now try landscape orientation.
OK, so portrait seems to have worked well enough. I'm trying out the landscape input now. Seems to be working. I was kinda worried about this problem, but cleaning the screen seems to have sorted it out.
Also, I have installed swype, but I do not really like it. Its awkward. I used to love it on my WinMo 6.1 phone (Omnia) however, I do not feel that i should be restricted to what keyboard I can use because of the phone not responding to input properly.
Back to portrait, OK. Seems to have worked. Nope, its doing it again now. Dunno why?
Stress
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I have a question.
Is this problem consistent like it happens every single time or does it come and go?
I personally use swype and I love it. I have not had this problem yet.
It's not a software problem, it is hardware.
When mine has had the problem, it does it on stock keyboard, chinese keyboard and gingerbread keyboard.
Basically, for me, when i touch the furthermost right hand side of the screen in landscape mode, it also registers as touching in the middle of the screen too.
Well it only started happening in the past few days. I'm gonna reflash back to 2.3.3 stock and see does that fix the issues. If not what's everyone's suggestions?

Tried to replicate this problem using the stock keyboard, and couldn't get the problem to happen.
So i'm not the only one who is having this problem?

Well that was just my theory to the OP. The multitouch problem does exist but I thought the problems with the OP's keyboard was related to this. Turns out its not.
I flashed CM7 and haven't experienced this problem yet, but I'm sure I will at some stage... *sigh*
Sometimes my backbutton fires twice. Its very annoying when browsing and going a page back and it actually jumps 2 pages back.
I checked the behaviour with the app "KeyEvent Display" and it clearly shows that sometimes 4 events are fired instead of 2 (keyup + keydown).
The app requests root, but you dont need it for only testing the keyevents. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks
Mine does exactly the same, from what I've worked out its related to the phone running slow but I have no idea how to fix it, if we find an answer if be very grateful its very annoying!

Same here. ButI figured a way-out. just press it and take you finger off quickly then it works normal.

Anyone have any idea if this is software or hardware related? Is it all types of xperia plays, out just certain types?

Tested a bit more. The menu button is also haunted here. Fires sometimes multiple events like a fukn uzi. I really hope its not hardware related and se will fix the softwarebug

I feel left out haha ive never had this problem. I have however had an issue where the screen decides to freak out and decides to do things at random, it gets annoying when im typing and all of a sudden all the keys start being pressed on thier own.
locking and unlocking fixed is temporarily.
Does anyone have a custom rom flashed with this issue still happening? That would tell us pretty quick if it was hardware/software related.
I have had this problem too well since i upgraded to 2.3.3
I have a UK Sim free generic handset unmodded.

All the custom roms except for CM7 are based on the SE stock rom anyway, so if anyone on CM7 dosent have this problem the info would be useful
I have same issues with this for the up and down arrow it always post two key strokes in Bruce lee. I can't do some special moves and finish moves because of this I am wondering if I should try and get a replacement Verizon stock ROM
Could the double back button issue be caused by the circle button?
Maybe as you press the back button the back of the screen also pushes the circle button?
I dont have this issue btw.
Tbh i have only noticed this problem if i have the phone in my right hand and i use my thumb to press the back button (reaching over the phone to the back key). If i use the phone in my left hand and use my thumb no problem lol.
If i use it normally (phone in 1 hand and using a finger from my other hand) to press the keys i do not have this problem..... Strange
Well, I think I worked out what's happening. Try holding the 'R' shoulder key and press the back button.
I imagine what is happening is android is picking up the shoulder button press but it doesn't do anything. Then pressing the back button fires the event twice. The same way you can fool windows into repeating the wrong key when you hold 2 buttons down (may be fixed in windows ).
Now the question is, how the hell fan you fix it?
I'll submit it to SE later on tonight and see what they say.
EDIT: definitely seems to be certain apps. It doesn't happen in settings but does happen in tapatalk.

Heelo.
I have noticed that sometimes (happened to me 3 times in 4 weeks now) while doing random things (most recentone was when i was looking at a picture on facebook and wanted to exit the picture), back and menu buttons under the screen don't respond. Home button works, touchscreen works, but menu and back key doesn't. In order to make it work I have to turn the screen on and back on so that they start working. I am using OMEGA 3.1 ROM and Faux 003 kernel.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Check if on stock rom it doesn't work either, or ask in the rom/kernel thread.
Sent with Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT I9505)
As I mentioned it happened 3 times in about 4 weeks now, so it's not a kind of thing that I could test with other roms, because it's very very rare. But I have also noticed that sometimes the same two buttons are less responsive than other times (like sometimes I can barelly press it with a tip of my index finger and it responds, but other times it does not respond when touched with point of finger, it only responds when I touch it with the pad of my finger - does it have something to do with electricity or softer skin on pads of fingers?).
Thank you
I've had this a few times in a bit over a week. Doesn't bother me as it's pretty rare and most likely a bug that will be fixed or possibly bugs in the apps themselves.
Good thing home button still works.

I also think it's a bug. Just had to ask as I didn't find anything with google
Thank you!!
I think he asked if you could test on a stock rom so you can see if its a hardware issue. Ive had mine for almost 4 weeks now and my back and menu button never failed to respond so far. Im on stock btw.
Same thing has happened to me a few times also.
I will be using an app or something, attempt to push the back button to get out of that app, and all of a sudden both the back button AND menu buttons die.... u press the area where they are located and nothing happens, no vibration, no light up, no nothing. The only way to fix it, is to restart the phone.
Only happens very rarely - and hard to guage when it might occur and repeat, due to its random nature.
Same thing happens to me. Also very rare, it's happened twice in 1 month
