I think there is something wrong with my digitizer. I'll be using the phone and the screen will act as if its being continuesly pressed somewhere else so it won't scroll and I can't hit icons until I turn it off and on again. Not soft reset. It happens almost everything time I use it. It has happened several times while writing this. Any ideas? Something under digitizer?

Take it back!
Not an option. I bought it privately.

OK, so you bought it privately and returning is not an option, so how about some more information. Has the phone been rooted? What ROM are you running? Have you tried a full wipe to see if that solves the problem?
I have had the phone for a couple months it just started doing this. I'm running liberated fr007. Rooted. Have not tried hard reset.

I thing I'm having the same problem.
My touchscreen get crazy completely randomly, sometimes I'm typing an sms and its almost imposible to write, cause it just get stuck even on the "P" letter or on the emoticons thing of the keyboard.
Sometimes I just can't switch between my homescreens (its like the thing refuses to work), what I do is switch off and on the screen (the slide to unlock works, but not the homescreens) and after several attempts it comes back to normal.
But it all started when I installed the latest version (6.1.1) of CyanogenMod.
Did anyone get a solution?
I don't want to roll back to a previous version or try another ROM.
Thanks!
Try to fix superuser permissions idk id probably just try to reinstall after clean swipe and restore everything with my backup pro. Also check the temp of the phone high temps around 100 mess up the touchscreen responding.
Signatures are fancy.
sorry... but im kind of a noob
How do I check the permisions?
What should I look for?
Thanks!

i would try doing a complete wipe and installing it again. if you've been using your phone with no errors previously, then the issues shouldn't be with your hardware but perhaps with a bad install of the current rom.

But it looks like there's a new nightly version of CM... I'll give it a shot, hopefully this is gonna fix it

would love to know your outcome on this - as it is happening on my phone as well
running a FR008 - was running perfectly until early this morning - then the same behavior that you were getting.
Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?
Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)

*Keyboard/touchscreen/captivate button lag/failure to register action/press
*Streaming music skips (last.fm) while doing anything else; like browsing the web.
*Slow orientation change
*No lineout on multimedia dock yet
*None of the unicorns and rainbows flying out of the screen that were promised by the legion of unrelenting froyo fanboys littering this forum for the past month.

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.
I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.
Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

If you press menu > edit > menu again, there's an option for A-Z order.
Guess it doesn't matter now since you downgraded, but just thought id let you know.

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.
Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.
I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..
My auto rotate has stopped working. Only way to go to landscape is by opening the keyboard. I suspect one of the sensors may be at fault. Raging thunder was much easier to play when it was working now the turning is sort of sporadic. I tried reflashing to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? I have to take my epic to sprint because the left side of my screen is lifting so ill mention that while I'm at it. In the meantime is there anything I can do on my own?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926098, you also may want to try toggling the auto rotation box in the settings, and reboot your phone
Also, if your taking it into sprint, you may want to restore your phone back to the stock rom and recovery first, if it isn't already.
Also if you're using a custom launcher make sure the rotation settings on that don't conflict with the original settings. Sometimes you gotta turn the custom launcher's settings off.

My screen is starting to lift on the left side as well. I've dropped my phone once or twice; but they weren't long/hard drops. Maybe this is why?
my left side screen was slightly raised from day 1 out of the box.
Yea it really sucks. Luckily sprint is awesome enough to fix or replace my phone at the service center near me as long as I'm paying for the insurance... and as long as they can prove that I didn't do the damage to it. I can't stand the screen lift more than I can stand the auto rotate. It scares me lol

Alright little update.
I got tired of stock di18 after going back to it experiencing lag on every 2.2 rom I tried. Just flashed the new midnight rom and NOW everything is.zippy as help with no lag. Just so happens my autorotate works now. Did the autorotate lag fix and now its perfect. Might I add gps works perfectly too.
...finally my epic is now finally epic. 1100/2000 in smartbench. That numbers rounded I don't remember the exact figure but point is I luv these devs!

Not sure if this was mentioned, but if you do the auto rotate lagfix: sensorcalibutil_yamaha method, and you get "failed" results, you can go to data/system and delete (or rename):
Ms3c_yamaha.cfg
(I renamed it to ms3c_yamaha.bak)
Then reboot, use the sensorcalibutil_yamaha method again, the cfg file will have been recreated, and it should work.

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

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?

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*
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.

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 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
