Aria touchscreen errors. Acting weird.

I think there is something wrong with my digitizer. I'll be using the phone and the screen will act as if its being continuesly pressed somewhere else so it won't scroll and I can't hit icons until I turn it off and on again. Not soft reset. It happens almost everything time I use it. It has happened several times while writing this. Any ideas? Something under digitizer?

Take it back!

Not an option. I bought it privately.

OK, so you bought it privately and returning is not an option, so how about some more information. Has the phone been rooted? What ROM are you running? Have you tried a full wipe to see if that solves the problem?

I have had the phone for a couple months it just started doing this. I'm running liberated fr007. Rooted. Have not tried hard reset.

I thing I'm having the same problem.
My touchscreen get crazy completely randomly, sometimes I'm typing an sms and its almost imposible to write, cause it just get stuck even on the "P" letter or on the emoticons thing of the keyboard.
Sometimes I just can't switch between my homescreens (its like the thing refuses to work), what I do is switch off and on the screen (the slide to unlock works, but not the homescreens) and after several attempts it comes back to normal.
But it all started when I installed the latest version (6.1.1) of CyanogenMod.
Did anyone get a solution?
I don't want to roll back to a previous version or try another ROM.
Thanks!

Try to fix superuser permissions idk id probably just try to reinstall after clean swipe and restore everything with my backup pro. Also check the temp of the phone high temps around 100 mess up the touchscreen responding.
Signatures are fancy.

sorry... but im kind of a noob
How do I check the permisions?
What should I look for?
Thanks!

i would try doing a complete wipe and installing it again. if you've been using your phone with no errors previously, then the issues shouldn't be with your hardware but perhaps with a bad install of the current rom.

I've done that before.
But it looks like there's a new nightly version of CM... I'll give it a shot, hopefully this is gonna fix it

would love to know your outcome on this - as it is happening on my phone as well
running a FR008 - was running perfectly until early this morning - then the same behavior that you were getting.

[Q] Random shut down - Diagnostics?

I have had the Galaxy Note for a month now and I have had 4 times randomly where it seems to have shut down. When I press the power button nothing happens, I have to take out the battery for it to get it started. I suspect maybe an app is the cause, are there any diagnostics programs for android phones that can log so you can see what causes the crash?

You are in Stock ROM or Custom ROM??

ROM version

Latest stock ROM, 2.3.6 XXKL7 kernel 2.6.35.7, since ICS is on it's way I thought to wait with using a Custom Rom.

Are you rooted? Custom Kernel maybe?
Also, no need to pull the battery, simply long press the power button for about 10 seconds and the phone will restart.

Haven't changed anything yet, so no Root. I tried the 10seconds every time it happend but it doesn't work seems like it has crashed and only removing the battery will do the trick.

I had rather similar problem with my G. Note after about 1 month.
Problem seem to come from Android System failure and cannot read
the Ext SD card after some of the apps had been transferred to the
Ext SD. I am not quite sure why it behaved like that.
The phone just hanged and will not respond. I could power down by
pressing the power button. Then I would press power button for more
than 10 sec it will boot but after a short while will still hang. I would
then remove the Ext SD and try to re-boot and this time it will work
but those programs transferred to the Ext SD are no longer available.
Problem appeared to be due to the inability of Android reading the the
program(s) in the Ext SD. Uninstalling the programs seem to work.
The data in the Ext SD did not interfere with the working of the phone.
Deleting the program files in the hidden .android folder seem to do the
trick.
Can any of the Gurus or expect please advice on this and why it is behaving
like this? Is there a a diagnostic program that can assist in identifying the
problem? Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Today my phone has shut down twice and I missed some important calls. I adore this phone but I have to ckeck constantly whether it is on or off. It is not really off, when I charge it I hear the connection sound. So it must be on but in a state of coma. OP can you see if we have the same problem? I am on stock and rooted, but I've been having this issue prior rooting. Pressing the power button for 15 or so seconds restarts the phone. Surely it is an app, but which one?

I have a similar problem.
Running RocketROM R17 + CFRoot Kernel.
Some days it is fine, other days it can just hang twice a day, and I only notice it when I try to wake the GNote up.
Have no idea how to even start debugging it.

am using note since 2 months and i haven't faced such problem. and am suspecting this issue may be with some of the app or apps not responding properly. take all backup and try resetting your G note.

Exactly the same thing happened to me like the OP, twice since I bought my phone. I am running stock & no SD card.

[Q] CM7 dual boot on NC: The screen will start to move on its own

I found that every so often my screen will either start to move on its own or will no longer accept my finger press's. I can fix it by hitting the power button and then turn it back on and it will read again. is there a way to fix this so I don't have to press the power over and over again?

I've had this same problem with my Nook Color (which is about a year old). I solved it by installing a newer version of the ROM I was using. If you still using the stock software that came with the device try doing a factory reset as this problem seems to have evolved and wasn't inherent to the device. Good luck!

Well odd thing I was messing around with Themes this weekend and the problem disappeared. it doesn't move like it was, but now I find that some of the more intensive games seem to slow down a bit now. Doesn't happen often but enough. Hopefully all this completely disappears once ICS is stable

ICS LOCK/STANDBY power button doesn't turn on screen !

I recently wiped all of my phone (factory+cache) and installed the latest 4.0.3 official update from SAMSUNG.
I also enabled the FULL DISK ENCRYPTION while doing this.
I am now waiting to decrypt it to see if this problem persits if I turn the encryption off.
The problem is that if I leave my phone locked for a few hours/minutes it randomly won't turn on the screen again, when I press the power button.
A hard reboot (holding) fixes this everytime. But this is not a fix, we all know.
It never happened on Gingerbread 2.3.5.
I am beginning to suspect there's a bug in the ICS firmware, although it's 4.0.3, it could slip through.
It's hard to say what's causing the trouble. I have connected the phone to USB now. Waiting for the symptom to show again. I assume I can get a good logcat.
adb shell logcat > logcat.txt
So I'm waiting for an error / event of POWER button at this moment, and will keep logging till it produces the same error again.
Regards,

That's called the black screen of death. It's an ICS bug. For now, rebooting seems to be the only solution ice seen on xda.

I can't believe this ! Is this a SAMSUNG or an Android/ICS problem ?
My version is:
4.0.3
IM74K.XXLPQ
Any custom ROMs addressed this issue or how can you avoid this on ICS? Is the only solution to go back to Gingerbread ?

Hi guys, hope your well.
I am having a similar issue too. I am on Hydrogen AOKP Rom, and I get exactly the same. However, apart from just the blank screen, my phone gets extremely hot too.The only way to get it back on is to remove the battery. Very annoying!!
I cant seem to figure what it is. I have tried to search here on XDA for the resolution but to no avail. Could it be the Kernal? The Modem? Tweaking via SetCPU? or a combination of all? Atleast if I could get pointed to the right direction that'll be a start! lol
Are you guys getting the overheating problem too?

Its a bit like continual posting in the wrong forum nobody knows why ??

No overheating (yet) you can help if you can keep logcatting through usb cable till it lock/standby freezes and your screen won't come on when pressing power ..
Install SDK + Drivers, write in commandprompt:
adb shell logcat > save.txt
Wait for the error / freeze where screen won't come on.
Then paste here or upload somewhere might contain a lead to a solution!

It's a kernel issue. I had exactly the same problem. Flash the latest siyah kernel that should sort it out. I went through 10 different Roms till I worked it out

Nah!
It's there on all the kernels. I myself am a Siyah user.
I moved back to GB for this weird and terribly serious issue, but that time i didn't know it was a common problem.
This is ICS' best feature for sure.
I really CAN NOT believe how this issue is NOT yet known well and haven't brought in to front line. Google knows about it and yet I haven't seen any official statements about it. How ****in unbelievable or not perhaps? Google way?? Well **** it.
Utter Nonsense. What i wonder is, really, does any Android user actually use the phone but show off only??

I can almost reliably reproduce this problem.
I'm on ICS LP7 stock XEU version. When I have downloads running with Ttorrent, there's an almost 50% chance that the screen will not turn on once it goes to sleep. The phone is not frozen as my downloads continue to run; just that nothing is being shown on the display. If you hold the volume down button you will feel the phone vibrate to tell you it went into silent mode, which means the phone didn't freeze. After about a minute or so if I try again everything will work as normal, until I put the screen to sleep again.

Do the logcat as I provided the correct command to extract it to a file.
Then do your torrent thing, and make it crash- so we can debug !

Used to happen, since I installed latest hydrog3n-ICS rom (13-05) never had those again!

have you uv your phone so much?
i tried to uv my phone so much, and it can't turn on screen when i lockscreen about 1min

Hi,
It happened to me as well after the ICS update and I tried to plug the AC charger to see what happens, and surprise...the screen turned on .
It's not a fix (especially when away with no accessories) but it's better than nothing, hope this helps; also you should try plugging the USB cable. Tell me if it helps.
Thanks,

Yep,I mean under volting, you need to look your kernel, and I think it doesn't work fine because your kernel has under volting so much.

[Q] Screen wake up lag since KitKat update

Hey guys
I updated to the OTA KitKat update, and now have a rather irritating issue that I did not have before. My phone is not rooted, and I'm not using an s-view flip case. I've tried using different lock screens, but it makes no difference.
Since the update, if I press the power button or home button to wake the screen, it sometimes takes 3 - 5 seconds to actually turn on. The strange thing is that if I turn the screen off, then back on within a minute or two, it's as fast as it should be at turning back on. But if the phone sits, untouched, for ten minutes or longer, it takes forever to turn on.
I tried wiping the cache partition, and disabled S voice wake up commands, and double tap to launch S voice.
Any ideas?

Do you have an SD card? That has been known to cause that issue.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I do have one, but it's an old crummy one. Does a bad one cause it? Or a lack of an SD card?
Thanks

Actually having one in your phone has caused that lag before. If you don't have one in your phone then not sure.

I have an sdcard in my Note 3 and if anything my phone turns on quicker with NC2 than it did on MJE.

I disabled double tap home to open S voice. I don't want to completely disable S voice, because in conjunction with S for switch voice, it's a very handy tool!
Since I removed the SD card, it has been performing as it should. Must have been the SD card all along. I feel a bit guilty starting a thread about this, when there is already information out there about SD cards causing lag, but but my problem didn't start until immediately after upgrading from JB to KK, and I've had this phone since launch day. Made me think it was a different issue. One again the awesome community at xda helped me out, and quickly!

What I don't understand is why this is just accepted. I have a class 10 card and my only solution to lag is to pull it out?

I'm not complaining because I had a really old, crappy 8gb SD card, and I stored nothing on it. Didn't even need it. I assume an updated sd card wouldn't have this problem, but that's just an assumption on my part.
