Screen problem? - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Alright after almost two years of owning the evo I would be doing something on the phone.. example texting and when I will be typing it type random letters repeatedly so I would always wipe screen or restart phone n would go away but then come back until it fell and screen wouldn't turn on now my gs3 seems to stay doing this. But seems just on xda app. Well that's what I'm mostly on when on the phone. Anyone else have this or happened. Might have to take it back if gets worse.. argh:banghead:

Touch Input Bug?

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. I'm on 023, but I'm pretty sure it was happening before that as well.
My problem is that the screen often thinks I'm still touching it, when I'm not. For example, I press the delete button for text and it keeps deleting everything I have entered because it keeps holding delete. Another example is the screen getting stuck between home screens, because it believes I'm still touching it, even though I've already finished swiping.
Ye mine does that. Or the touchscreen freezes and the phone just vibrates for 4/5 seconds

Yeah. Exact same thing for me. Except maybe vib lasts longer. Could it be the screen protector? I have an iphone screen protector on top of the factory glued one.

Not sure if is the screen protector as I only have the original on there.
It is rare it happens but I've just been putting it down to a software issue.

Is this issue really common for you guys? Because I text a lot, and I've only had this happen like 2-3 times in the last 2 months...

I send about 2600 text messages per month ( I don't know if you consider that a lot or not) and it has happened I would guess about 10 times. It's just a tad annoying. Especially when you've written a long text or email and it erases half the text before you realize it. LOL..
I get the long vibrate probably 3 or 4 times a week. It's usually when I'm on Meebo, but I've noticed that it usually freezes up like that when the haptic vibrate from the keyboard coincides with an instant message or some other event that triggers vibrate.

Yeah i have this issue every now and then, rather anoying when your mid text!

Keyboard issue

Does anyone have problems with the android keyboard dissapearing? ?? And the only way to get it back is by restarting the phone?

I have several issues with the keyboard including the one you mentioned.
If I plug it in to charge it kind if messes with the calibration and when I'm tying it seems like the phone thinks I'm touching all other parts of the screen (like hitting the backspace will type P's in the text field)
I've also experienced something with the new m.Facebook where ill tap on text field and it'll open up the keyboard but it'll hide again. I have to try to open it sometimes more than 7 or 8 times before it stays open.
I'm thinking of unrooting it and taking it to best buy (I got the protection for it) I've just been lazy about it lol.

My keyboard will sometimes partly disappear and become unresponsive. It gets really weird when I switch the phone back and forth from landscape. The only way to fix it for me is to restart the phone.

If I use a third party charger from china to charge my Nexus S, the touchscreen goes crazy too lol. The original charger doesn't do that
The worse offense of the keyboard is still the double-letter glitch with the first letter of words (for "eexample"). Still rampant since 2.3.3.
If y'all want to add your recent experiences to the keyboard glitch report I filed with Google, please do: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I have the same issue. The keyboard will disappear and they will just be empty space where it was. If you remember where the buttons are u can still type its there u just can't see it (great, right! ) . I am running stock 2.3.3 and I have done a factory reset for that and other issues but it comes back. I have to turn the phone off and back on to resolve.... until it comes back at least. Happens at least once a week sometimes a lot more sometimes less. Either way, very annoying.
So, no, it's not just you.

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

Touch Screen Issues!

Is anyone having issues with the LG G2 touch screen.
The things I'm noticing is
guesture typing it loses it's trail and begins a new word. So if I'm trying to spell "Think," it'll get the "TH" then space it out and get some other string of letters etc.
Web Browsing; it'll click a link I'm not trying to
Zooming in on photos and scrolling while it's zoomed it'll sparatically zoom out or move to the next pic
There's several other things that I can't seem to get to replicate! Anyway with my research here's what I came up with.
My issue is much like this but far less easy to replicate!!! And not nearly as bad. How ever I was able to do it when my phone started having symptoms I pulled up the note pad and it did exactly like this just way less significant.

Here's another forum with people going through issues!
I'll take that as a no
I was having issues like that with gesture typing on both swift and stock keyboards. Basically it would just add all kinds of random entries. In another thread someone suggested using a microfiber cloth on the screen. It seems to be working now.

Just noticed that mine does the same thing... But it's not consistent, only happens once in a while. After I reboot it's fine. Really weird.
I posted earlier, looks like it didn't make it up. I had same issue, I tried flashing back to stock, assuming I had done something with rooting it, tried making sure that it was not an issue with ram bring to low, nothing fixed it. Took phone back to att, replaced it, havent had the issue once since then. I'm rooted, flashed and modded work no I'll effects. If you are within your return period, I would suggest that you return.

Cool I'm glad there's some good ones out there. As soon as my replacement Zagg Symphony Dry comes in I will switch out phones.

Well I have seen some quality control issues with these phones for sure... I'm still on stock and not rooted and mine does this. Going to have to go by the Verizon store Monday and get a new one.

I made a video to help illustrate what's going on!
Well I got a replacement phone and the problem is still happening. So I went into the shed grabbed my old Cyanogenmod MyTouch 3G and I plan to use that until the Nexus 5 comes out. Hopefully I'll get a launch unit.
Just holding this little phone makes me feel all nostalgic lol. I bought it in 2009 and it still holds a decent charge.

Are you just going to wait until the nexus 5 comes out and then take your g2 back, tell them that this is the second one that has done this, and demand they replace it with the "newer g2" ie Nexus 5? I thought about this!
I'm hoping this is a software issue..mine is really annoying

[Q] Not responsive and restarts

Today I came home to my NP acting weird. Left and right don't seem to register unless I go up or down and then go back to the same spot. It gets less and less responsive until it just restarts. This hasn't happened since day one. Anyone else seeing this?
