Touch malfunction - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Friends, I was purchased an used defy from ebay. It comes with android 2.2 and also rooted. From the first day onwards i noted some freezing. First i thought it is due to rom. But then i found orientation, volume buttons and power button working properly. During that time screen display may jumb. Then i was found the problem will solve by pressing power button to lock the screen and then unlock. Then it remain working for few hours. The touch may not work during call also. Pressing power button is the only hope.
Please help.
Sorry for my bad english

Hi, test to flash the right sbf for your defy. Maybe its your software.

I am using latest sbf "sea 15" in my phone. I am from India. One more incident i found that this problem is more frequent during morning and later evening i.e during cold hours.

Try limiting multi touch (no of points) to increase sensivity.

I am decreased the mutitouch points from4 to 2. But fault is still there. Its happening during morning and later evening. So after heating the digitalizer using hair drair suddenly the problem solved. But it again happens later evening. So i am confused. Is it due to faulty digitalizer or anything other?

I think you should try stock flash once, and if not resolved it is definitely a hardware issue
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

Recently a similar problem happened to me. It's hardware issue. Tried several stock ROMs and nothing.

This sounds exactly like my Defy. It is rooted now but with no flashed ROM just stock 2.2.2
It has had the problem long before rooting.
If it is a hardware issue is it likely it could get worse & maybe stop working?
Is there any possible fix?

I am changed froyo kernel based wiui. Now running perfectly with gb kernel based wiui rom. No problem till now(3 weeks test).
So i think its a kernel issue for some defys. Try it and report. Hope it help u too

Look at development forum for wiui rom and download defy + rom, gb kernel and battery fix and flash it.

[Q]ICS ROM clarification

Hi Now am using 2.3.7 version and kernal 2.6.32.9-gb in my defy,
Am planing to install ICS 4.0.3.What kernal should download?
Becoz i already tried Mar 3 build but its stucked many times and getting restarted again so pls tel the correct methods and kernal.GApps.
Can any one help me?
If you have gingerbread kernel you need to install a Defy+ build. If you have a normal defy, I think you need to install batery fix as well. I'll try to find it. Defy+ builds work well with red lense defys, but I don't think camera works for green lense users.
Thanks...so shall I install defy + build...and kernal link available separately....what is the use of those kernal...how. and wat should be install
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
You already have a kernel. Or else you wouldn't be able to use the phone. You've already told me that you have a gingerbread kernel. So don't bother flashing a new one.
Gapps is on first page for main CM9 thread. Battery fix is somewhere in the thread :-/ Look around page 300

CM9 Kernel gives bootloader error. It's for froyo kernel users only (as far as i've understood)
DON'T flash it! It will soft brick your phone!

I hope all doubts over
CM9 builds,gapps & battery fix is enough to my phone to run ICS.
Have to flash above three things?
Am i right?
Yup, that should be it.

That is true. I have a Defy+ and I installed the CM9 kernel. It soft bricked my phone and I had to do a SBF flash, root CWM recovery and all things all over!! Flash the CM9 built for Defy+ by Quarx. It does restarts and freezes ocassionally but is okay otherwise for a beta version!!

I have a green lens too and I'm happy with CM9, build from 06.04 by Epsylon3 with Froyo kernel (keep in mind that it's still in early development, so you might experience bugs, errors and crashes - I didn't had any though). It also has working 3G (if not, try to move around basebands).
Trimis de pe Defy CM9
Flashed the rom u suggested, flashed gapps but gtalk won't connect unless on wifi. What gapp have u flashed? Thanx
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
The latest ones for ICS - 20120317.
Try to clear data and cache for GTalk - it may fix the problem.
Try latest defy rom. I believe it has working 3g and wifi. I have red lense defy and both works.

Just to confirm again, the epsylon 1104+ build mentioned above has the best connectivity to date for me. This one's a real keeper.

Your getting Sleep of Death. If using a custom kernel, disable deep idle. Also install voltage control (or nstools for custom kernel) and bump up the voltage for 100MHz by 25 - 50mV. Did the trick on my friends phone after I put cm on it.

Thanks for the info, I don't have a custom kernel, and I can't change the voltage, should I install one?

I think this could be a battery problem too.
Is your battery old ? Mine started getting crazy after 18 months of service.
Newer battery last longer that is a good point too (i bought a 1800mah battery)
CU
I also think it's a battery problem. Try a new one.
Thanks, my battery is almost 2 years old

Change JVT modem
Hi !
I had the same issue (Sleep of death) when i was using JVT Stock ROM ! After moving to JVU and Lately JW4 the problem disappeared.
Flashing CM9 and keep on using the Stock Modem which is the JVT one bring back the Sleep of Death problems to surface, i moved to a JW4 modem by flashing it from the recovery and everything's fine for a week now !

Now that you re saying it, I had this problem on a JVT modem indeed.
Well lcalin77, try that solution first before buying new battery I guess ^^
I downgrade to 2.3.6 xxjw4 and re install the latest nightly 7/29 and went back to jvt, what am I doing wrong, how can i flash jw4 on cm9
Thank you

What i think you should do is :
1 - Wipe (means for the following Data + Cache) ;
2 - Flash Stock JVU with repartition (3 files version + pit) + Wipe ;
3 - Flash JW4 + Wipe ;
4 - Download and flash CM9 (I prefer the RC2 which is known being more stable, the nighties may bring some bugs to the ROM) + Wipe ;
5 - Install the Google Apps Package (The recommended version is "gapps-ics-20120317-signed") + Wipe again ;
6 - Flash the JW4 Modem from recovery after downloading it from : http://www.mediafire.com/?l1h126w7l8d57u5
7 - Once on the system wipe the internal sd card and restore your previously saved data on it (Don't restore app with titanium or so...)
7 - Hit thanks !
Proceed for the WHOLE operation with Sim card and External SD REMOVED !
Thank you very much

It confuses me to no end why people are still on stock roms when there are awesome roms out there.
Check out this rom, its one of my favourites so far.

[Q] Flashlight on CM10

My flashlight is not working on CM10 by Quarx,it flashes very weak,not with full potential. How to fix that?
Stop using it immediately, use the latest version of cm10. If you still have weak flashlight then its an hardware issue
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
I am using this build: CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526 .
Flashlight was perfectly working,and then I flashed froyo .sbf because I wanted to go to CM10 and now its very weak.
Well, its a recent build with the flashlight issue solved that could burn the flashlight. But in your case I think it may be damaged depending on which froyo sbf you flashed.
You should try gb kernel and you can then use the cm10 builds, though I think it had suffered permanent hardware damage
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Can you give me the link for that GB kernel? I have MB525.
Dude just flash any gb sbf, preferably for your region

Does anyone has CM10.1 reboots?

Recently i installed CM10.1 stable(clean install).
After i applyed franco kernel it rebooted then 2 weeks after i uninstalled Tasker after it was done it gone for reboot.

have u tried going back to stock first? i believe it's a hardware issue because in my experiences using so many custom roms based on aosp, cm and aokp, i never even seen the screen flickering issue at all.
