search for "ghost" "key presses", nothing relevant so here we go, hope to get a response on this one or I am going back to another ROM
I am getting really bad ghost key presses with this ROM, I used them with WINMO roms but a fix was released. This suggests the screen driver for Android is not yet stable and needs more DEV or is it just me that is having this problem. Sometimes it is so bad I feel like dropping back to winmo, yes I know it is that bad.
issue 1:
Sometimes all the keys around that key I am pressing fire and not just once, several times, mostly on edges of screen.
Issue two:
Sometimes when I have finished a word I get lots of ghost presses and random characters as if I am running my fingers all over the keyboard.
Could my screen be faulty?

I saw that, however the problem pretty much goes away on winmo ROMS, dont want to go to the bother of removing spl/mag and android to send it for repair if it isnt broken, are you 100% positive my screen is damaged?
Yes dude ...100% sure ...when i had this problem it was negligable on the windows mobile and more on the android builds...its sooo anoying ....just get ur screen replaced ...u will start loving android buils
Thanks, I will look into this, phone is still within warranty.
He's right, see my thread here. I had exactly the same problem as you. Sent my phone back to HTC, replacement screen, no more bounce/ghost keys.
didnt see that, didnt think of searching for "bounce"
I have put in a support email to HTC.
@Major_Sarcasm --- i still remember how much i had to convince u to change ur touchscreen !
​Had my vega for just 3 days, i left it on charge on the first night and when i tried to use it the morning after the touch screen was more or less completely dead, only a 1" stripdown the left side in landscape mode was responding to touch so i couldn't even unlock it without using the wake then press the back button method - even then the screen was non responsive.
I did a reboot hoping this would solve it but no change, anyway after leaving it off for half an hour and rebooting the screen started to work again and I had no further issues that day.
that night i let it go to sleep again and had the same issue again this morning, the screen was non responsive after a prolonged( 6hour ) sleep
this time i decided to see if it was software so put it into nvboot mode and flashed the modaco rom, - after getting the new rom up and running the screen was still lazy, serious dead spots in terms of touch, i let it go to sleep for a few hours in the afternoon and tonight the touch is not working again.
I bought it online from dixons, and tbh the box appeared to have already been opened when i got it.
I'm starting to think its a faulty unit with a serious hardware fault - has anyone else experienced the same - did you find a fix?
Have you tried running the screen calibration tool, i think it is included in the modaco rom. I have not had anything as serious as you seem to have (only a slight dead spot in the bottom left corner of the screen, which the tool fixed) might be worth a go, if you have not tried it, before getting a exchange.
thanks Ganjaman, cant get the darn thing past the accept terms and conditions screen after a fresh install of stock rom because i cant press the accept button because its in a non responsive part of the touch screen.
dont think i have any option but to return it

Bad luck! Hope you can get a exchange in-store.
Have flashed the new 1.09 rom and it seems to have fixed the screen issue.
What was interesting. Was that if I warmed the tablet up slightly near a heater the screen would slowly start working again. Ganjaman, will your 1.08 update add market to 1.09
I am going to remake it for v1.09 shortly, i need to remove flash change the build.prop and i am going to add usb switcher. Glad you sorted it.
I have the WP7 installed. No dual boot.
I have a password protected lock screen, and every once in awhile, the touch screen wont work, so I can't slide up and put in the password. If I hit the windows button in the middle, it kinda bounces for a second, then goes dark again.
It happened yesterday too, and the only way I fixed it was to turn it off, take out the battery and then turn it back on again.
When the touch screen works, it works fine. It's perplexing.
Anyone else have this problem?
Yes, but I only have to tap on the screen and the touch screen is working again and I can slide up the screen. Had this happen with both of the builds I've used so far.
This didn't work for me. My phone's been locked all night.
Hmm, not really sure what it could be. Check with whoever built the rom you are using, they may have a better solution. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Its a hardware problem, not software, i had the same problem the solution is to change touch screen, try to press touch near red button for same time it can help, but not for long time.
Sorry for me english)
Common problem. Your touch screen is fried (or is in the processing of frying). Start the warranty process now.
fried? dunno mate, when my touch screen goes on the blink i sweep a finger in the opersite direction to what i usually do then try again straight after, so forinstance, at the lock screen i try up and it doesnt work, so i try down then up and that usually fixes it, same for the tile screen, if it wont work as i sweepleft, i sweep right then left.
this doesnt happn on android which i would think rules out an overall hardware fault, at least for me anyway, it is however hardware related, the HD2 shouldnt have WP7, the drivers are not designed for our device so expect these odd happenings.
Of course its equally likely that this could be another sign of the pain in the arse SD card issues some of us suffer, reflash and try a new SD card and see what happens.
Man its realy problem of touch screen because it breaks in zone of red button, and when you press it some times it goes ok, and works wery well, but it die from now, replace the touch or it will die in few - weeks- days.
i would seriously get that accusation backed up by some proof before someone does something they didnt need to do.
I have random unresponsive screen issues that are directly related to the install of WP7 it does not happen on android or WM, there for its not hardware, at least in my case, its driver
Hi! First post so sorry if its been asked before, is there any way to disable that annoying feature that makes the defy and others ignore a touch if held for so long? It makes some games unplayable (jet car stunts anyone?) Because you need to hold a button and you can't cos it ignores you after about 30secs, also is there any way I can boost touch sensitivity? I find the defy a bit shaky on recognising some touches, especially when typing, thanks for any help or infos
p.s I'm on CM7 cherry picks

When you touch and hold an area of the screen after about 30secs the touch will no longer register even though your thumb is still there. Apparantly its to stop the screen staying awake if you get water on it, I want to disable this, sorry hope it makes more sense now D:
Noone has a solution to this? I can't sprint on Nova 3 in multiplayer for long because it stops responding
then u go for the never turn off option in the display menu..screen will stay awake until u press the power button..hope it helps..defy's touch is too gud man..i nevr had any problem..

I really should explain better, thanks but that isn't what I mean, the screen will still be awake, just the touch will become "invalid" somehow if you hold the same spot too long, to demonstrate download multitouch visualiser from the market and hold 2 points, if you hold for long enough the touch disappears
I totally got your point as it happens to me too.. but occassionaly... i think its a hardware fault in the touchscreen.. like you said, it stops getting the point after 30 seconds, actually, the problem is that it starts reading your touch at another point on the screen, so you cant accelerare or sprint in jet car stunts and nova because when you tap the respective buttons, the touchscreen recognizes it as you are tapping somewhere else... i myself didnt found a solution to this problem, i just turn the phone on, wipe the screen and my fingers clean, and turn the phone on, sometimes its gone sometimes not.. and 30sec is too much.. my touch lasts for only 3-4 secs... hope we'll get the solution one day.. did you got your phone repaired? I got my touchscreen replaced few months ago but i think this problem was before too

No its an actual feature according to cyanogenmod forums to prevent "phantom input" caused by water on the screen, I dunno whether the digitizer handles this or its a driver, because if its software controlled theoretically it can be disabled

No just a fixed point or small movements, large movements is fine, its not practical to constantly move or let go during some games, and once it goes it doesn't reset instantly it goes crazy for a while, you try and press again and it "flickers" on and off if that makes sense
I've had that issue in 2.2 (Stock), CM7 and now, in CM9, as well...
A friend of mine made me aware of that (I hadn't and probably wouldn't have noticed).
I understand this happens only in Defies (not in Droids), so it shouldn't be impossible to avoid.

Actually some of the Droid series do, if you look on the webpage for jetcar stunts they've even identified it as something they can't fix with advice on how to avoid it, I think it was the Droid x. I'm desperate for a fix, hopefully this is not something in the stock kernal otherwise we need unlocked bootloader :/

phone was working fine but from last two week the screen starts moving automatically, Wi-Fi turns on automatically at any time. the install button of Google play doesn't work (seems like touch issue) but when i touch the same spot with camera application, it works fine. i am on stock ROM (4.4.2, kernel 3.4.0, KOT49l ) and tried resetting the phone multiple times but facing the same issue.
please help me resolving this issue.
regards.
Just flash the firmware again !!

These are not software problems (dead touchscreens spots), your knock on will not working. It's hardware issue, I think you need sending it back to LG

You are just scaring ppl .. You said that my phone has probblem too .. So just dont scare ppl .. and try to help them..
i had this kind of issue with my other phone, I just downgraded to Jelly Bean and it worked fine ... and did the touch drivers update from the hidden menu 3845*#802# ...
i think you have a dead section along the top of your screen, about half an inch down. Its been fairly common. Its not real noticeable at first , bc that area of the screen isnt used often, but its EXACTLY where the play store install button is, and your knock on will no longer work. you need a new screen. or flip it to landscape whenever (seldomly) you need that area of screen. you can test it by getting LCD tester from the playstore , or by using quickmemo to draw on your screen.

This happened to me exactly, about a month back. It seems to be right across where the 2nd from the top messages are. You can download YAMTT https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt&hl=en
I use the PAINT option and move my fingers around the top. It was a solid strip out near the top. Knock On will no longer work, but Knockoff will.

when i touch the same spot with camera application, it works fine.

that could be because the camera button has more "active area" meaning, it will still work if you tap near but not exactly in the same location. the install button on the play store is very very precise. if your knock on does work, then its probably just software. but if your knock on does not work, i recommend testing the hardware with quick memo.... draw lines all the way up and down your screen slowly, and see if there is a break in that area. if its not the screen, unroot, and go all the way back to stock
i don't know how but it has started working automatically form last 10 minutes and google play button is now accessible.
i hope it wont give that error again.
thanks for all good suggestions.

In developer options. Tick Show Touches option. you touch any area on touch screen and check dead zone or using Quick memo
