[Q] Touch Screen Deadzone? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue. While typing sometimes my phone will randomly not be responsive on certain keys. Just those keys though for example I could be typing and then when I press "y" it won't register however all they keys surrounding it do "U" "T" "H". I can flip the orientation and get it but it can get quite aggravating. Any ideas?

Nope none at all I've seen this discussed before I have the same issue at times but only every now and then and yes it is aggrivating sorry I don't have the answer I would like.to.knoe the deal as well.....I.wonder do ppl that have stock phones ever have that issue....

Crazy scrolling

Was wondering if anyone else has this issue. My slide did this stock and also does this on any rom I install. When scrolling through a web page I can scroll down just a little bit but when I let go of the screen it will just scroll all the way to the bottom by itself. Its like it lags and then just endlessly scrolls on its own. My behold 2 did this but my cliq didn't. Anyone else ran into this and know if there is a fix?

I have had that happen to me a few times, I always thought it was me not the phone but I guess not.
Have experienced this as well.

ok maybe im not nutz
I have had this happen to me I thought I had a bad touchpad or sumthin, I have even had it click to scroll all by its self even tho im not touching the pad. somtimes I think it may be do to shadow moving over the pad.
bhang
Happens to me too. It seems to be when the phone pauses for a moment like it's busy and then continues... If you happen to be scrolling during that moment it reads your movement as much faster than it actually was and sends your page flying at light speed.

Almost never happened on my G1. Happened ALL THE TIME on my Cliq, and I get it maybe once a day on the Slide. Its annoying, and you would think there would be some kind of fix for it.
Yeah, big time problem with the Slide. BY FAR my biggest gripe with this phone is the HORRIBLE touch screen. It feels nice, but it's not very accurate. They definitely skimped here.

[Q] Creaky keyboard

I have read a few threads on a few build quality issues but not mention this, if I have missed them then mod please feel free to delete.
Anyone else noticed this, its not a big deal but I noticed that when typing on the physical keyboard I could feel even hear a slight creak as I typed away. I worked out that this was being caused by the battery twisting and creeping its way slowly out of position. I have sorted this with a small ball of bluetack, no more creak.

Heh..no noises here except the click of the keys pressed

That's what I am enjoying now but before it was really getting annoying.

Nothing here. Keyboard sounds are just the expected ones.
No creaking here. So far..

Phantom touchs

I've been dealing with a phantom touch issue with my shift. Pefectly centered in on the botto of the screen where it hits the phone button in sense. Its looking like a hardware issue.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and has anybody dealt with taking a rooted phone back to sprint for service?
Thoughts?

I had a weird issue where an area (the left side of the screen 2mm strip) on the touchscreen didn't work at all. I used the one zip RUU back to stock and brought it in and they gave me a new slider (whole top portion). Just happened 2 weeks ago.
I have bad problems with that and screen protectors, especially when it's really hot and humid (like everyday here in tampa)
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
At first I thought it was the screen protector, but the problem persisted after I stopped using them. And then I thought it was a bad rom or rom install, so I tried 3 different ones with no change. So ill just update myself to the OTA GB and take it in for service.

Did the rooted update to GB and it seems to have gotten rid of the phantom touch issue. I ended up having to do a factory reset when I did it, so maybe that helped. Glad I don't have to deal with customer support now. There always seems to be a line when I go in.

Just want to say you're not alone, this happened once temporarily on my G2. It made pressing the "s" and "a" keys on the on-screen keyboard almost impossible!

Bottom touch buttons not as "touchy"?

Has anyone else seen this...my bottom "back" button (menu-home-back-search) seems to be much less responsive than it used to be...all the others seem ok... Is there a way to calibrate their sensitivity?

I don't think there is a way to calibrate those. But some thing you might want to add to the OP is what rom you are on maybe there is a setting that I don't know about.
I'm on mostly stock now... Tried out Thunderhawk's latest and saw no difference.... (with that at least)...

might be a hardware problem then. if you went back to stock and same thing is happening.
Yeah...my that's my guess too...likely that my phone just has a little hardware issue...it still works, but I frequently have to hit the back button 2 or 3 times to get it to register...sigh.

its a hardware issue. My search button isn't as sensitive as the others. Good thing I don't use that often.

I wish MY search button was the one getting weak...I never use that thing! Sigh...

Keyboard issue, gestures sometimes do not worko

Sometimes gestures on any keyboard i try randomly stop working (such as swyping or long press a letter for symbols). I found that if i press 2 keys simultaneously, it would fix the problem temporarily, until it stops working again. Also if i press 2 keys simultaneously when gestures are working, they will stop working. Whats up with that?! Another problem is when the gestures stop working, sometimes random keys such as the letter 'e' will not work. This is getting really frustrating and annoying. I am running a custom rom, dark unicorn v2.5 but this issue has happened with all the other roms ive tried, including the stock from htc.
Anyone know how to fix this or are experiencing the same? This is my second device (the first had some issues and i had to get it replaced) and this problem appeared on both devices I've had.
