I'm hoping you guys can help. I have searched and cannot find reference to this problem, but I cant believe I'm the only one... I have the HTC Wizard in the O2 XDA mini s form.
Whenever I slide out the keyboard to write a text, within a second or so the screen freezes. I can continue pressing typing but nothing on the screen changes. If I press the screen off button to turn just the screen off, then back again, I can see the newly typed text, and then it freezes again straight away.
Is anyone else suffering with this problem please?
Has anyone solved it?
Thanks for you help.

Well, sounds like the keyboard inputs are getting there (a good thing), perhaps something is running in the background eating up resources not allowing the display to update. What’s in your “windows/startup” folder? Also, what today plugins are you running? Have you burnt a new ROM or are you running the original?
Hi, thanks for the reply. Im still running the original ROM. I don't think its a background task issue. The screen freezes and distorts (lighter coloured lines across the screen.) Im pretty sure its not just a refresh issue.
I guess I just assumed something like this must be a common problem, that others have had and solved.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem and I really dont know what to do. Its happening on every ROM I install, even if I revert back to the original ROM. I have a feeling its my SD card, but I cant tell which folder specifically.
Maybe bad flex-cable could cause that kind of problem.
Yeh, same here.. I think its about the flex cable also. It stopped on my case for a while when i dissassembled the wiz and cleaned it up... but it continues now propably would help if got new flexi cable, or could it come when phone gets cold? its pretty freezy in finland sometimes sry about bad language.
Is there a fix for this? No matter what rom I use, Didn't try Froyo, but after receiving a call, the screen stays black, so I spam the hard keys to wake the screen after about a minute or so. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem with 2 HD2 phones. Not aways, but most of the time. I ask this question before - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349809 , but i didn't get the answer.
May be it is hardware problem, but if it is it's gonna make me a problems every time.
If you figure it out, pls PM me.
Once in a while i have the same problem, but when I clean the screen (until it looks shiny ) and it gets better…
(I clean mostly the top of the screen)
I don’t believe it is the “solution” but works for me…

If you push the End button (or any other button) before clean the screen, what happens. Does the screen stays black???
I think that this is a software problem, because other ways every time when I press the End button (or any other button) it will give me Nothing.

I have the exact same problem. I am using the SD card android version. I've tried different ROMs, but with all I have this problem. When I boot into WinMo I don't have this problem at all, so it doesn't seem to be hardware related.
I can use the phone with anything else without any problem using the SD android version, only when I recieve a call or call out myself the screen blacks out and the phone seems unresponsive. After about 30 seconds to a minute the phone shows the lock screen.
I would love to work with the Android version for normal operation but because of this I still boot into Winmo within office hours...

Your better off doing what I did. In Android, sonewhere in the settings for calling, change the sensor to off so it never blacks out. In Miui rom its in program's, then calls.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
Task 29 and start fresh. Only thing that got rid of it, test when you first start the rom to make sure it works normal, then start adding your apps and such.
Or increase the 125mhz CPU settings to 245mhz under cyanogenmod settings/performance/CPU or governor settings.

my screen stay black (off) when i take the phone away from my face EVERY call as well. this is what i do and it works everytime.
1.)pull the phone away from my face (duh)
2.)starting with it facing the sky, i turn it to face the floor (when i say facing i mean screen up ... then screen down)
3.)as soon as i turn it back over (screen face up) it turns on
im thinking its a sensor issue??? either way it works and i dont go on a hardware button mash fest to turn my precious leo back on.
if this helps please send thanks ... if not tell me im crazy :-D

I just download this apk and will try it ....
But I think it's hardware problem (may be with the sensor), because when I turn back on Win Mobile 6.5 i have the same problen ...
I think to bring the phone to service
... when I take it back will tell you what is exactly the problem ...
Task 29 then install windows, next install the right radio version , finally install the android
like dragonovus say´s try completly reinstalling android.
and please feedback here
BUILD.PROP baby!!! there is a tweak for this and i believe it works( in the prop ) dont know exact address but google "build prop tweaks" also use setCPU and set the lower number to about 350+ also try to use the end hardware button less cuz this has been addressed in another thread..... the button sticks or sum crap..... i use zmooth and never use the red end button........... good luck
Will try all, but now I use ' Screen stays on '

well ... for me Screebl Lite didn't help me
Reinstalling Windows is not necessary. Just make sure you have the right Radio and HSPL then do a task 29 before installing Android. But your problem is most likely hardware related. The end call button is most used and therefore prown the wear and tear... Try using the red end cal softbutton. I guess you only have that problem when you use the hardware button right?
In that case it's the problem with the button and not the software...
And at the end did anyone of u solved this? If u need help post reply or pm me. I think i have a solution for u.

Yes, man! I have the HSPL2.08 and radio 2.15.50.14 ... I think we all do. I can't use the soft buttons, because I can't see them. That's is the problem. The screen is black and won't lights up. May be I can't read you ... but I try to run back Win Mobile just to check is it from android OS or the sensor...
build.prop does not help
I tried the build.prop thing. I added those 2 lines at the end of the file:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
No change, still a black screen after any call.
Any other idea ? How to completely deactivate the proximity sensor ?
Fixed !
I finally fixed the issue by removing the screen protector sheet and cleaning the upper left part of the screen with a dry towel.
It works fine now. It was just a problem of the proximity sensor not being exposed enough.
I hope this helps.
I have recently purchased a Motorola defy+.i am facing touch screen problem.applications randomly start on their own..if i am dialling a number unwanted numbers get pressed.screen becomes unresponsive and if i press the power button the issues goes away but reappear after some time.Plzz let me know the solution...thanks in advance.
android version : 2.3.6
I had the same issue doing a battery pull fixed it for me.

By battery pull do you mean you removed the battery and put it back again ?
Just try a simple reboot, that should get it to work normally.
Is the scrolling also lagging? That used to happen to me, I just OCed my phone, and it worked smooth as butter.

It seems I often have the same problem after plugging in the power cord.
Simply removing the power cord solves the problem.
While I have this issue I found a bunch of errors from logcat or dmesg, next time I'll try to post some relevant snipset.
Can someone confirm that CM7/9 are immune from this issue?
android version 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3, build 4.5.1-134_DFP-139.

im getting both d problems...
the one in opening post is not so frequent -- once in 2-3 days...i expect its because of sweaty fingers
d one with power cord -- d screen works if u do press it bit hard...like resistive touch...but if battery is below 20%, pressing hard dont work either...strange...

Guyz, dont ignore this problem. This is due to broken digitizer (f*ck you moto). I had this problem about six months back. I was madly asking for help in this forum. Got suggestion from everybody but nothing worked. at last I have given it in moto service center where they replaced my digitizer. All's well from then (six months now) but I am always afraid of that ghost can return since I have no warranty left.
Will never ever buy a moto phone again. (I am here only bcoz of the best dev community, otherwise I would have left already). However I love my defy.
you have used membrane ?
you have used membrane on your screen?
This usually happens when my screen is wet. Or in cold weather.
Are you sure its neither of those?

Hi,
Had this issue with a Defy Plus (one of two with problems). Sent it back for a replacement from the retailer. Third one has been fine and still going strong!!
Regards
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 :/

Hi,
i have a problem with the milestone 2 of my wife.
Part of the screen is not working, a half-circle, starting from "settings" button to th "home" button.
All that's left is working. And i don't think it's hardware related, because there is schratches or damages on the screen.
I have installed the EngleMars's kitkat rom wich work great; but problem is still here.
I have tested three rom, the issue remain.
Has anyone encounter this problem or a similar one, or is there any hope of recovering the screen?

It looks like dying digitizer(touch screen). I had a same problem on Milestone 1. Sometimes it help when you put your phone to a sack of rice so that it will suck moisture. But eventually you will need to replace it.
