Touch Input Bug?

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. I'm on 023, but I'm pretty sure it was happening before that as well.
My problem is that the screen often thinks I'm still touching it, when I'm not. For example, I press the delete button for text and it keeps deleting everything I have entered because it keeps holding delete. Another example is the screen getting stuck between home screens, because it believes I'm still touching it, even though I've already finished swiping.

Ye mine does that. Or the touchscreen freezes and the phone just vibrates for 4/5 seconds

Yeah. Exact same thing for me. Except maybe vib lasts longer. Could it be the screen protector? I have an iphone screen protector on top of the factory glued one.

Not sure if is the screen protector as I only have the original on there.
It is rare it happens but I've just been putting it down to a software issue.

Is this issue really common for you guys? Because I text a lot, and I've only had this happen like 2-3 times in the last 2 months...

I send about 2600 text messages per month ( I don't know if you consider that a lot or not) and it has happened I would guess about 10 times. It's just a tad annoying. Especially when you've written a long text or email and it erases half the text before you realize it. LOL..

I get the long vibrate probably 3 or 4 times a week. It's usually when I'm on Meebo, but I've noticed that it usually freezes up like that when the haptic vibrate from the keyboard coincides with an instant message or some other event that triggers vibrate.

Yeah i have this issue every now and then, rather anoying when your mid text!

Keyboard issue

Does anyone have problems with the android keyboard dissapearing? ?? And the only way to get it back is by restarting the phone?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I have several issues with the keyboard including the one you mentioned.
If I plug it in to charge it kind if messes with the calibration and when I'm tying it seems like the phone thinks I'm touching all other parts of the screen (like hitting the backspace will type P's in the text field)
I've also experienced something with the new m.Facebook where ill tap on text field and it'll open up the keyboard but it'll hide again. I have to try to open it sometimes more than 7 or 8 times before it stays open.
I'm thinking of unrooting it and taking it to best buy (I got the protection for it) I've just been lazy about it lol.

My keyboard will sometimes partly disappear and become unresponsive. It gets really weird when I switch the phone back and forth from landscape. The only way to fix it for me is to restart the phone.

If I use a third party charger from china to charge my Nexus S, the touchscreen goes crazy too lol. The original charger doesn't do that

The worse offense of the keyboard is still the double-letter glitch with the first letter of words (for "eexample"). Still rampant since 2.3.3.
If y'all want to add your recent experiences to the keyboard glitch report I filed with Google, please do: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755

I have the same issue. The keyboard will disappear and they will just be empty space where it was. If you remember where the buttons are u can still type its there u just can't see it (great, right! ) . I am running stock 2.3.3 and I have done a factory reset for that and other issues but it comes back. I have to turn the phone off and back on to resolve.... until it comes back at least. Happens at least once a week sometimes a lot more sometimes less. Either way, very annoying.
So, no, it's not just you.

Waiting time for screen on.

I have tried kj4, kka and sheep rom. All have the annoying long wait after pressing power button intil the screen is lit up. Also tried different CPU governors without result. What is the problem here? And can it be solved?
Is it just me, or do others experience this as a prob?

I've got the same rom, but I don't see the problem you described.... try to reinstall the rom.
ps: you should post this under the thread of your rom, without creating a new one

You may have a defective device.

mine is like 2seconds after the bootanimations and stops at samsung logo..fast enough for me

I have the same problem with my note. I just got mine yesterday. No clue as to what's causing it. I updated my firmware to the latest but left the old kernel so i could keep root access. Had the same problem with both the new and the old firmware.

Just to clarify the issue here:
When the phone is on but screen has been off for a while, the time between pushing pwr button and until the screen lights up is about 1 second, it may not sound much but it just enough to make one press the button once again. Not what i am used to on my previous androids from HTC.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Same here. KJ4, stock KKA and sheep KKA. It is annoying indeed...

Probably a user experience thing, you guys who claim to NOT have the issue:
Can you lock the screen and wait for like 10 mins and then on the screen again and time the delay from button press to screen light-up?

Where do you come frome? I mean are u used to Samsung devices or something else?
I am judging this by my 2 previous HTC's whith all kinds of different Roms where I have never seen this.
My thought is that it is on all notes but some people does not see it as a problem but you and me do.

I am having the same issue. Takes 1-2 seconds until the device is fully powered up from standby...

I think I figured out the issue. I disabled weather on the lock screen and now my phone comes straight on. Maybe everyone with the issue can try that and see if it works for them?

Confirmed, getting rid of the weather on the lock screen gets rid of the lag

I'm having the same prob. I'll try removing the weather app and see if that helps.
Great no I cant remember how to remove it. help

Nope still does it, 2sec delay.

nope mine is snap on... did u try turning off display animations? if not try it

This was there even on the s2..

yea, mines also has the same 1-2 sec delay. no weather on lock screen. found it odd, cause i've only had HTC phones so far, and never saw this.

Samsung don't use early_resume in the kernel, that Seems To be more qualcomm Related code.
It's that Code that gives you instant screen resume on the HTC devices et al.
I found this a niggle on the note as well, but have got Used to it,especially compared to amount of work it would take to fix it.

Disable volume warning?

How do you disable sound warning its extremely annoying because it turns on the screen when you raise volume

If you are rooted poke around under system media for the right file and rename it.

Also curious if anyone finds a solution for this.. Its super annonying when riding my motorcycle. With my helmet on if I lower the vol then try to go back up to max it doesnt because I have my phone buried away in my jacket and inaccessible.

Having the same problem. Trying to work listening to music but keep having to take my phone out of my pocket to change the volume back. Getting really old really quick! I listen to a lot of music and this just isn't acceptable. If it wasn't for the crappy camera of the HTC One I would already be considering taking this phone back. I don't want to have to root and fiddle with my phone anymore, I want a phone I can just use without having to tinker with it.

I too had this problem, but it's gone now... not really sure what I did.. I definitely didn't mess around with any system files.. now I'm really curious how I did it.. I'll see what settings I changed and report back!

Charge your phone?
But seriously, just use root explorer to delete boot.ogg in system/media/ui/audio
Obviously you have to root to do this.

Check the Development section. I think there is a mod in there to disable it.

I can't find it? link?
The only way round this is to keep the level above the warning and dont go below. If you need to go below use your headphones volume control (if it has one)
What is this warning all about? why has it been introduced? is it only on the s4? it's health and safety madness, i'm sure people have the sense to listen to music at a level they want, if its too loud for their ears thats down to them, its our ear 'oles

I got the message once, I think I just hit a check box to not appear again. Now when I do it a little warning pops up that says it could be dangerous and goes away but doesn't stop me from increase the sound to max

It's weird, the first week I had the phone I had to click an 'OK' button every time I wanted to go over about 80% volume. Now I just get a toast-style message but I don't need to click through any confirmation window. I don't remember clicking or even having an option for a 'don't ask me again' box. Maybe once you've dismissed the window enough times it just never comes back?

That's to remove the boot sound, I don't think he read the title or op...

If I have my phone in my pocket and I turn the volume up when the screen is off I still get a pop up that will not allow me to go past until I hit OK. Annoying when I am on my bike and I have to stop and take out the phone. I am also using different head phones so I have to use the volume rocker from my pocket.

When screen is on you get a warning but doesnt effect sound. When screen is off and you use the rocker to adjust it will stop the increase, light up the screen and force you to click ok to proceed with vol increase

Same for me, when the screen is on I just get the small message at bottom but it allows me to go past it. Whats annoying is that all head phones are different, and half the time I am just using the phone as an aux plug-in for my truck.

Keyboard lag

Does anyone else experience extreme keyboard lag? Even on my old Galaxy Nexus it wasn't this atrocious. Have yet to try another keyboard.
Sometimes when it lags this horrible repeating happens and words words are repeated multiple times. I think think it think it has think it has something to do with the auto correct lagging behind. See?

you could try resetting settings see what what happens happens

Haha I appreciate the response and the humor. I tried clearing the data for for the keyboard but I'm still running into the same problem. The only way that I can get around it is to slow down my typing speed. Annoying.
I tried using the Google Google keyboard Google keyboard as Google keyboard as well Google keyboard as well and encountered the same results.
