hi all
is anyone experience a sticky slide to unlock slider ?
i'm finding, at time, i need to slide-to-unlock up to 5 or 6 times before it unlocks.
is there anything that can be done about this ?
i was having the exact same issue, sometimes it just wouldnt work. cleaning the screen helped massively but was sometimes still there.
Im now running MCR r2 so will test and report back

I use a app caller no lock as the slider to unlock is just utter **** and annoying when you have a call to answer.

I use menu to unlock. Gives you the option of the slide (hate) or just use the menu button as in 1.6. Works very well.

I think I found it here somewhere. It's on the market made by Kmobs for .99 cents and you must be rooted.

Actually I experience he exact same issue, in fact there have been quite a few bugs since upgrading to 2.1.
So far I have found the sticky slide unlock.
Some times screen does not respond at all.
Unit frozen a few times and forced me to hard boot.
Also phone don't vibrate when i receive an SMS message?? <=== is this a setting somewhere i can change. can't seem to find it

It's not a bug! unless of course you have just swatted one with the streak you either have a dirty screen or sweaty fingers
Hi guys, I had the same problems too. With mine, I couldn't swipe to unlock - nothing happened when I tried and had to remove the battery in order to reset the phone!!
To be honest, it felt like it was a software issue than my hands being sweaty or screen being dirty as I always keep the phone in the pouch provided. Apart from that, I never had a non-responsive screen.
I have had the same problem a few times.
It is not sweaty fingers or a dirty screen...
The screen can become 'laggy' and unresponsive, when I eventually get it to unlock I restart the device and it is fine.
It is a bug.
Missed 4 out of 6 calls due to this issue yesterday. Sort it out dell.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
How did it get sorted with dell please explain? is it an software issue
Do any of you guys have svreen protectors on? Make sure there is no dirt between it and the screen. Also make sure the palm of your hand isn't touching the screen (don't have this problem with the streak but I do with the evo).
I've only had this issue twice, first time with the slide to answer, took like 5 tries to get it all the way over (and over course it happened while I was spring the phone off) and the other time it was whole I was attempting to put my lock pattern in.

We will not help you if you will not describe your problem clearly We don't understand your post
I understand you. I accidentaly take my phone, drop 3 litres of gas on it and get it fired by zippo. All was accident, I don't know why the hell operators didn't wanted to give me my money back!
I think the dumbarse that started this thread basically wanted to say that he booted into G.O.T recovery, but now the phone won't start after he tried to reboot. I have encountered the problem just now, and would need help with this...

i am a dumbass i just got a replacement for my epic through asurion. BRAND NEW phone not a refurb. and guess what i did? forgot to uncheck repartition on odin and BAM insta-perma-fossil bricked! not even a sign of life. so yeah go ahead and call me an idiot!
Accidentally did that myself once the night ef02 was leaked. There was someone in noobnl's thread that suggested pulling the sd card and battery and leaving it like that for a bit. I tried that and it worked for me. maybe it will help you too. Good luck and here's to hoping you can revive it.

I knew not to do it and I unchecked it then added the rom, and it checked its self again but I didn't notice and then I look at my screen again and in big red letters it said do not check re-partition so I started freaking it was about 3 am so I started cursing myself haha
I repartition and update phone bootloader a lot, I screwed up in the middle of the process many times and most of the time these so called "brick" are not bricks, it takes a few try to get into download mode
Yeah same here way too early to be using odin safely lol
And I don't see how a repartition would brick anyway?
But I'm glad it didn't either way, if anything I kinda felt like it was better afterwards.

i mightve had the other one checked as well. **** maybe all three of them it changes everytime i start the friggin program i swear! any way im gonna keep trying and if worst comes to worst than ill give asurion a call tomorrow.

Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.
ROFLMAO
That is by far the funniest thread title I've seen on here yet
It does sound like a hardware issue though.

No water damage or anything. I do use a screen protector but it looks flawless in the affected corner

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.
Thanks,

this is so true
I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Try samfirmware.com, down at the botton of the GT I9000 firmwares are the provider's ones.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

Hi
My Nexus 4 is 8 months old and recently for no reason, my power button started behaving weirdly. Sometimes gently pressing it wont turn off the screen and other times it turns off the screen and turns it on again and on some occasions it works perfectly. It is not a ROM issue because sometimes the phone, if shut down, wont even power up.
But as days are passing by the behavior is getting more and more weird. I do not really need the power button coz I use alternatives, but some day if I need to turn on the phone when it is shut down or force shut down the device when it does not respond, there is no way to do so. (EDIT: Pressing volume down button while connecting to AC supply or USB puts device in fastboot mode. Then it can be rebooted using "fastboot reboot" so I am not very worried now)
I checked other posts on XDA but they claim the button is becoming harder to press. My button is not harder to press; it gets pressed just fine and even gives that clicking feeling when you press it. Only the resulting behavior is weird. Has anyone else had this issue? What could be the problem?
(EDIT 2: The power button seems to work properly if I use my thumb nail to press it)

I purchased the phone from the US but don't live in the US so there's no chance of RMA.
Same thing happened on my phone, mainly after I get my back cover replaced. Now I have to use navigation shortcut to lock the screen and volume button to wake.

did u get done with the rma? is it covered under warranty? coz my power button is acting weird but i am worried if the service center guys would say it depends on wear and tear or someting like that..
I'm have exactly the same issue with my 6 month old nexus 4. I'm feeling a bit reluctant to send of my phone for repair, even though it is in warranty and I have not modded it in any way. The thing the issue seems to be getting worse over time. Has anyone sent there phone with this issue of for repair yet?

The power button of my nexus 4 just became weird too today.
I could normally press it , but the screen won't lock. But if I press it for more than 2s , I got the power off menu.
Have no idea of what had happened...
Have anyone come with some solutions?

Got mine back on Friday, button now works as new. Although, the official repair description didn't really mention what was wrong only that two parts where replaced, no more detail.
dabby91: I recommend you go to the LG website and schedule a repair (lg.com/uk/support/repair-service/schedule-repair). I was without my phone for just over a week and they did a factory reset as well.
