[Q] Touch screen not responding that well - HD2 General

Hi!
With my HTC HD2, whenever I try to, for instance, type a message, the keyboard on my HD2 barely reacts or hits the wrong key. Installing a swype-like keyboard like TouchPal may solve this but for some apps like games this may get an issue later on.
I'm running tytung's NexusHD2 v2.3-HWA, which runs fine (thanks!). Just this issue.
No idea if this also occurs in WM6.5, but not going to switch back just to check that
How can this be fixed?
Aside from that, is there any way to speed up the ROM? It's fast enough as of now but speed is always useful
Thanks!

Was am issue with my ROM, flashed another one and now it works fine!

Try disabling the keypress vibration or sound when typing. It helps ALOT for me.

same problem for me
i had the same issue with ROM,after flashing to another one it works great

In the future, just run a ROM from SD and see if that changes things, that way you don't lose your current ROM.
But yeah glad you fixed it

From an SD card it's even worse, lmao

Most likely you won't be able to fix this(unless you replace digitizer, but it's not 100% solution!).
Sometimes, it's true very rarely, some HD2 hardware is not fully compatible with android(more often touchscreen function related!), but could be fully working on WM.
Even it seems a bit hassle, you should flash a WM and see what happens!

Thanks for your reply.
It works fine now, so I am not going to fiddle around anymore

No, myMIUI works better than the other ROMs. WM6.5 sucks, I'd never switch back to that

Walking dead.... I can't be the only one

Ok I'm using newest energy cht rom radio 2.12.50 and shubcraft froyo android build with 384 zimage....
Heres the problem that I have had all week my phone works fine when I am stationary minimal screen freezes great speed but when I get up and walk with my phone and try to use it the screen freezes almost every time then the entire phone freezes. I have also noticed this on elevator and when I step out of my car.. this is weird and I know it can't be just me as its been going on for a week now.
So to sum it up stationary best phone ever...walking phone dead and I wanna slam it on the ground.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
try the desire v5's zimage, no freeze at all
Im having same issues,with all the version i have tried, including V5 aparently this screen freezing is a known issue and makes the use of Android in our HD2 very very frustrating.
ive upgraded my SD to a class 6 and still suffering from it
Im wondering if there is a program that causes it or its just the OS...
in any case We have to be patient ,im sure pretty soon the amazing developers will come with a solution.
might be a screen rotation issue
Just came back from street, again same issue.
I thought it may be the network connection that was affecting the phone, so i switched to Airplane mode and turn off automatic updates,still this didnt help...
so im beginning to think this is related to yes,either the screen rotation (maybe as we walk it does affect the sensor )or gps..

I've just learned to deal. Its better than SoD's or being in Winmo and having to pull the battery out.
I actually noticed it today as I went from a dark room to a very well lit room so Im with u guys it seems its either rotation issue or light sensor issue andvi have no doubt in my mind the devs will have it fixed in no time just didn't see it mentioned anywhere else so figured it was worth a mention. Thanks all I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one.

when in windows mobile make sure to disable all battery and back light settings and in android change blacklight settings and sleep setting to stay on
I am having the same issue - using ChuckyDroidROM + shubCRAFT CM6RC2, basically when I start moving or even moving the phone the touch screen becomes very unresponsive and sometimes even the hardware buttons don't function properly. At first I thought it was just my device until I saw this post...
Think its a bug with manusfreedoms 384mb ram enabled Zimage dident get this problem using past images.
sure it will be sorted next image release.
I thought i was alone in this case too !
We are not a lot with that screen touch lag, so maybe we did something wrong. Here is what i found so far :
-Changing build don't rix the problem
-tried another radio, another rom...nothing.
I tested 27/07 03/08 cotulla zimage, now manufeeedom 382mo zimage-nopc, the problem is still here.
changed from a class 2 to a class 4 and seems to be worse. (!)
You are right, it seems to be worse when i am moving from one room to another so maybe it is gsensor related.
Right now it is hard for me to type that text,
Don't know what to do... buy a class 10 sdcard ?
I just got my HD2 today and got android set up. I'm noticing the same thing as everyone else with the unresponsive touchscreen. It happens every time I tilt the phone to try to change the screen rotation. Usually hitting the hardware button allows it to respond once again, but it happens quite often.
hey hey hey first and formost i see u guys all hav the same issuse what i dont see is ur device info along with the rom, radio, android verison, and the location ur android is stored ... i have the lates verison of droid v5 also energy with cookie full and my radio is 2.8 i believe android is on the sd card and running smooth ... now that the intro is out of the way hav u guys read what was needed , reason askin i found the thread where the question and answer is... and yes u guys are the only ones... now please do a search go up to the first thread of android on hd2, and good day to u all
Wingtytn, can you be more precise in your answer ? I am a quite long user in Xda, always try to help when i know and i never ask a question wich have been answered somewhere. I don't think i have the noob profile you seems to write. If you think about formatting sdcard, of course i did. I have a 2.08 radio, latest shubcraft build with manufreedom 382mo zimage. My rom was changed to a light android dedicated one, the latest chuckydroid rom. Just don't know what else to do and waste a lot of time trying to fix that from myself.

The TS issue is kernel related, that's why using an older kernel say the no speedy one should fix it. This is also the reason why this issue is being seen over multiple builds.

Thanks a lot shu8i, i will try an older zimage than the 27/07's cotulla.
Edit : Mmh exact same problem with the 23/07 zimage Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY. That is weird.
I will order a clas 10 sdcard and see what happen...
Try the game ”Runners”. It uses both the camera and the g-sensor and freezes mad anytime, anywhere. Huge affirmation to the idea it's a bug of the g-sensor's or otherwize the screen's drivers.
DuperMan
Me too with screen freezes, i had tried all builds and same result. I think this is a problem with SD access because i noticed more freezes as more apps opened in backgroud.
Try to calibrate the g sensor
Found something ...
try disabling auto-rotation feature (settings -> display)
It works perfectly for me now.
Can you confirm that works for you too?
Did you dind a way to calibrate g-sensor on froyo?
Why the auto-rotation feature hangs so much for us?

Auto backlight and Android on HD2

I am using a TMOUS HD2 with Hyperdroid v1.5 and everything works except the auto backlight. Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone who uses this feature as well because

Which radio are you using btw? If you own the TMOUS HD2.
I was using 2.12.50.02, now testing 2.14.50.04
light sensor/auto backlight isnt radio related
it "works" on latest evo git builds, however it likes to get stuck at 0 sometimes, so if you have auto backlight on, this means your screen will be off and you will have to pull battery
so dont use it yet

I think you misunderstanding, he thought that we live in the same area (Bay Area), using the same phone (TmoUS), that's why he asked about radio.

Is there any way to use the end key to lock the screen during a call? I'm using the straight FRG33 build, and I can't seem to find anything in the settings menu.
I feel like this is a stupid question, but I can't find anything ANYWHERE, and without the proximity sensor (or whatever it is) I keep hanging up or dialing during calls...

Honestly, I don't know of any other way besides using a different version of android. The Hyperdroidv1.5 is the one I'm using and although it isn't as great as the standard one on the HD2 built in WM, it's the best I've ran across. Hope it helps
As far as proximity you maybe using a older kernal. Mine works I dont ever hang up on anyone.
Shubcraft 1.5 with his stock kernal. I wont mention winmo rom cause I dont really think it matters. My radio is 2.11

I havent really updated in a while so i was wondering

So I haven't updated my rom and radio in a while and was wondering if there is any real point to do so. everything works fine on my phone including any android ports i've put on it. my winmo doesnt allow me to turn sense off as its an old version but that the only real difference that i have noticed. any advice on which rom/radio's are really good right now would be great.
I am using this ROM:
http://htcpedia.com/kwbr_HD2/soft/htc-leo-rom.html?page=1
If everything is working ok then tbh there is no point in changing, if you do just make sure you have all of the old ROMS;RADIOS & BUILDS to get back to happies again.

To be honest, if you're happy then I wouldn't change a thing. If there's anything specific that you'd like then that's obviously a different matter.
As for turning off Sense, there's no Windows ROM that you can't do that in. Go to settings, menu, all settings, today and turn of HTC Sense as a today plugin. (That may not be 100% correct - it's been a while )
thanks i have turned sense off, i think the way you explained it was better than i had heard which i couldnt figure out but now im good.
as far as rom/radio. i guess that answers that too.

I could quote you what I use, and I think it's great, but everyone uses different things so we'd all give different advice. Like I said, if you come up with something you need and you don't have it, it may be time for a change, but until then just stick with it.

[Q] [POLL] Screen-Off-Issue after call

Hi,
many people still claim there isn't such a problem but there IS:
After ending a call the screen stays off and can't be turned on again. Hardwarekeys don' t do anything.
Only option: Hold the phone in bright light or take battery out -.-
I tried the most popular roms here (NAND&SD)
In WinMo everything works fine.
So here i want to show that not only i but many others suffer by this issue.
Hopefully some real CHEFS/Devs realize this.
Making tons of senseless customisations and graphics tweaks isn't enough to be a real Dev...

this really helps! But now the screen stys on all the time, must be careful not to end the call by touching the screen XD... But it's better than having a blocked phone.
But still the issue itself isn't solved ...
You could try http://www.xda-developers.com/android/proximity-sensor-re-calibrator-for-desire-hd/ this?
yes tried this already before, thanks, but didn't work.
I know this problem sounds weird to those who don't have this issue but it's real (i'm not crazy XD) The hardware is also working correctly as on WinMo everythiong's fine
I'm been having this problem since my first rom. I actually thought it was just my phone. It drives me crazy, as I found that plugging it in gets the screen to return. Very annoying!
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

lots of freezin goin on up in here!

long story short i went from an old GB to an ICS. didn't care too much for it so i went back to this one. loved it but i noticed that when i went to reboot none of the options worked. also then noticed that it would freeze at other times too and the only way to get unstuck was to put it to lock the screen and unlock it.
thinking it was the rom i switched again to this one just a trial and error. well its doing it on this one too. but now i can't even unlock the screen.
unless im missing something, i am doing all this through cwm and doing a data wipe and cache wipe each time.
what else can i try to get everything rectified
edit: and no, my digitizer is not broken as it has worked for well over 2 years as well as when i had the ICS rom up until the past weekend!
But the digitizer can brick from one moment to the other. In my case, i flashed miui and my digitizer was broken after that. Before that all was fine.
What i did to find that out, was to reset the phone completly. What means, back to WM 6.5. It's just an idea to do another trial and error. If it doesn't work in WM 6.5 u're digitizer is nearly to 100% broken.
Sorry for my bad english. May i could help u

pls change the rom to gingerbread.....use asop roms i.e. non sense roms for less freezing specially when unlocking screen freeze...currently ics hardware acceraltion under some issue the xda members are working hard to come issues...wait for a stable daily use ics build release..........all ics rom are beta hence no hardware video codecs etc.....dont doubt your screen it works well ,,,my htc is 1.5yrs old it is fine.. dont doubt your digitalizer..it is fine ...only your kernels in rom make this error ..

every time i hold the power button in to reboot/turn off it hangs. i can't choose any of the options. if i hit the back arrow it removes the options screen but is still hung. i can hit the power button to black the screen but then i have to wait about 10 seconds to unlock it. if i try right away its still hung. but if i wait the 10 seconds or so it seems to be fine.
i know its not a big deal since i rarely reboot/power off. and now that i have that app it works.

Hey, whilst it's great that you're trying to help, this is fundamentally wrong. This is an opinion based question but you're stating this as fact, which is misinformation and could cause confusion. Please choose your wording more carefully as the majority of ICS users DON'T have issues and I find it a tonne more stable than GB. Also overuse of emoticons

Since you say you aren't opposed to reinstalling the ROM, try that. If that doesn't work, try WinMo. I'm inclined to agree with Kameirus here, it sounds like a digitizer issue, and you shouldn't rule it out as a possibility just yet. Installing WinMo should be able to tell you whether or not this is your problem.

well i am on reinstall #2 of this exact rom. like i said since going to ICS a couple weeks ago this is my 4th rom within said 2/3 weeks. even up to the install of ICS i have had zero digitizer problems.
can i install winmo from cwm? if so does anyone have a link so i can give it a whirl?
ok reinstall #3 of that rom. this time it acted like the first time i installed it. the touch screen was responsive when choosing the options for installation.
the only thing i did was flash CWM 150mb instead of the 400mb i think was on there. not sure if that had anything to do with it but at least i would eliminate it.
ok up and running. i won't do any updates and see how it acts.
HA! well that didn't take long where's that winmo rom i can try out LOL!

Provided you have the right ROM for your device type (i.e. a TMOUS) then yes, it would work fine. I find his guides very good actually, much more noob-friendly than some of the ones here on XDA (general statement, not trying to say you're a noob or anything)
