all backwards button

I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. I am currently running the latest cyan 7 nightly but i do recall it happening 2 other times on cyan 7 RC4 and RC1. I am not at all saying it only happens on cyan, i am just showing when and how it happened. All 3 times it happened my battery was below 10% and i restarted my phone to have the issue occur. It seems as if every button on the screen would choose the exact mirrored opposite of itself on the screen. If i would press the phone icon on adw the default on the other side wich happens to be internet browser would launch. If i pulled down on the notification bar the app drawer would open and so on and so on. the only thing that was regular was when i would press an option in the main menu such as wifi or location, basically anything that didnt have an option next to it that it could switch to. after a few minutes i restarted the phone again to have the issue go away as fast as it started. It was not only in adw for those wondering it was anything that had an option next to it, such as pressing favorites in the browser and it would launch whatever is opp of it, settings i think im not positive at the moment. Oh well i just figured i would share some of my story with all of u in case it somehow starts a topic or even some how helps somebody out in any way. thanks, veritas

I work for a cell phone repair company and we recently had a G2 come in with heavy water damage. after doing the water damage treatment the phone powered on, everything working fine.
I powered it off to put my SIM into it to test the call functionality and when it powered back up the entire touchscreen was backwards, even the softkeys at the bottom.
we replaced the digitizer and that fixed the issue, so maybe T-Mobile or HTC will warranty it if its a bad digi

STRANGE touch sensitive button problem

Just got my SGS2 and encountered a really odd problem.
When using the phone while lying down on your bed aka checking email in bed, the back key registers 2 key presses.
To reproduce it every time, just slide your finger slowly onto the back arrow from the bottom left.
This only happens while lying down and is actually pretty annoying because it makes navigating pages hard.
Anyone else have this issue?

Tried it and it's perfectly fine for me..

Actually, it happens both normally and upside down. Maybe time to get a replacement, can't be firmware right?

Maybe you should get a replacement.. Have you flashed or rooted your device?

A couple of old threads reported that the back button is not sensitive enough and sometimes would require 2 taps for it to register the command, must be something related?

When looking into buying an s2, I was considering buying a damaged one where the touch buttons wouldn't work. Upon researching so I could find a fix and buy it cheap, it turned out to likely be a hardware issue and on a side note, most of the people that had reported similar or same issues also mentioned using a third party charger/non samsung one.
Basically the kist of the signs of problems - charger thing, erratic touch screen behavior while using the charger, intermittent issues with the soft keys not working, and eventually failure of the soft keys.
But every post I saw resulted in a successful warantee claim. Hopefully the same can be said for you if worst comes to worst

Thanks for the replies,
The phone is less than a week old so I might just have it replaced.
The double tap issue only happens when lightly/slowly pressing "back". But that is very often since the touch screen is so sensitive.. I feel like this all started after upgrading from kg7 to ki2 using kies. Oh well..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Quick question for the community: Would rolling back to KG7 from KI2 using Odin void my warranty? I want to see if the problem was still there, because the phone came with KG7 installed 10 days ago.
I noticed how the touch screen immediately got much more sensitive (too sensitive for my taste) after upgrading to KI2 in Kies. It seems like it starts registering a press when a finger is just barely hovering over the glass which makes it hard to control and the capacitive keys super jittery.
Now, both the "menu" and "back" buttons registers multiple key presses if not pressing them super firmly and quickly.
I hate this stuff... I have never once bought a phone without running into stupid problems like this.

If you only tried to flash official firmware your binary counter won't increase so you can just return to stock firmware.. Check your binary counter in download mode, if it increased even by one use a jig to reset it to zero (with old bootloader ofcourse)..

I do have this issue too, but i'll just tap it very fast to avoid the double tap. Using stock from KF1 still.

I just figured it out. The double tap only happens when the lights are off for the keys. I switched to 6 s/always on and I can't get it to double tap by itself anymore. Worth trying for others with similar problem!

Won't turn off.

Got a question. My girlfriends phone won't stay off. We press the power button to put it to sleep and/or turn the screen off. When we do, it comes back on right after. It is a little annoying and battery draining. Any help?

Just do a battery pull

Yeah we do that, but sometimes it still does it too. Its weird.
Sent from planet Vegeta.

If its plugged in it could stay on. Is her phone rooted? Can you clear the cache and dalvik? Make sure its unplugged and do a battery pull. Then leave it out for a couple mins, replace, wipe cache and see if it still happens. She may also have a crappy power button.

Nah, she's not rooted. I've thought about it, but I also don't want to mess her phone up and go through the long gfree process. Mine is rooted, g2. But I told her maybe later I would. She likes the way it is, dunno why, but does. So ill let it be for now.

B4 I was rooted I use to use go launcher and other home replacement apps and I found sometimes it would make my screen turn on randomly so it could be an app she has down loaded
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. She has a theme on go sms that tries to get her to download go launcher. I want her rooted so her phone will work 10x better, but she's an if ain't broke don't fix it girl. But her phone is pretty broke ha ha
Sent from planet Vegeta.

Haha well it could be an app and I think you should just keep trying to get her to let you root it and then give her a great custom rom and she won't have any reason to complain lol

wont turn off
hi, i have a rooted my-touch 4g w/ cyanogen 7. i am currently experiencing the same problem. pressing the power button only momentarily shuts screen off then it comes right back on. after that it will continue to shut off and on. i believe the problem has to do with the track pad button, possible=y something making contact or an improperly working switch. i have found that if you time pressing the power button right when the screen starts to turn back on it will stay off, but you have to time it right. as to why i think its the track pad, i have found that if you hold the track pad button down and then press the power button the screen will remain off until you release the track pad button. i pressed down hard on the track pad and released then tried the power button by itself and it seem to be functioning correctly for the moment. i am 99% sure its the track pad button.

Could it be stuck power button

Any One Notice this? Bright Line flash on the screen

This happened about once per hour, my screen will flash ,i means : a bright line appears at the left edge of my screen, brighter than anything i have ever seen normally on this screen, and disappear immediately. and not thing more is wrong.
I am using the CM9 Rom from locerra and it is a great rom, i don't know if this is caused by the rom, but i have not notice this when running stock HC.
I am just worrying if this will do any harm to the screen, or is there any way to get rid of it?
I have not find any pattern when will this show up, it has been shown when i am watching a movie on the MX player, and when i am using Chrome.
Has Anyone noticed this?

Just noticed this for the first time with LQ2

As test, turn off Surface dithering under settings -> performance
Edit: seems this is jackpot, have not seen the white left line issue anymore..
EDIT2 : nope, still on left side seldom, also noticed on bottom once today

Try the app SyPressure.
In my p6810 with stock ICS the app triggers the white line to flash like mad.
Try and report if you be so kind.

Experienced this a few times. Stock ICS, left side too.

Rectangular smudge near the back button

Hi
I have an sm-n900...
I can see a rectangular smudge near the back button. It is almost the same dimensions as the back button but not completely coinciding with it. Its top edge is a little below the back button top edge.
If I clean with a cloth, it is not visible anymore. But once I start touching the back button, it becomes visible again.
Someone else seing this ? Is it some kinda sensor ? Seing it irritates me !!! Maybe coz I spend a lot of money on the phone.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app

capacitive sensor, it's on the menu button as well! can only be seen under special circumstances, but everyone has it! on my note2 it was a little more visible, till now I had 5 note3's and all of them looked equal to me in this regard (although other big differences, especially in screen quality)!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hi
Well it cannot be seen for the menu button. But it is very much visible for the back button. And it becomes visible as soon as I touch it. Why should it be visible only for the back button...
Are you saying that it is visible on all the units ? Well let me see if I can get hold of another piece and see.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app

Huh? Hang on. *nicks magnifier* Yep, it's there.

Hi
What exactly are you talkin bout ?
Why is it that the same thing is not visible over the "menu" button ?
