I put it on charging and when I woke up in the morning it won't turn on and was a little warm on back...
it's been more than 6 hours and its still nit turning on
EDIT: it still gets warm from back when I put on charging but screen remains off
just found out it was on the whole time but screen is off and I only hear touch sound when I press on the lower side of screen as if keyboard was on
Edit:it's working all fine but screen is off I can hear sounds I can unclock too
ALL I KNOW IS THAT ITS CAUSED BY MAGNET COVER OF MINE
Have you tried holding the power button for 20-30 seconds?

This just started yesterday but the bottom of my screen (the side where the serial port is) seems to be less responsive than normally. When I go to click to respond to a text message I find myself having to press it repeatedly. Sometimes the whole screen becomes un-responsive or if I click up top it will actually make a response at the bottom. Could this be at all due to an app or something I installed? Because normally when I put it on standby (pressing the power button once) and turn it back on it will fix it all but the unresponsive bottom section for texting only. Does this make sense to anyone why this could be happening?
Just having touch problems all together
i keep pressing the screen so many timees... even tried to restart and take the battery out. but still same problems
any help
Thanks
Try recalibrating the touch screen guys, that might help. Also if you have a screen protector on, try removing it, I found my first one got more unresponsive over time.
I dont like screen protectors for that very reason and dont use them. But where is the screen recalibration? I've looked and looked for it since this started happening. It's half way working now and really just varies. So if there is a way to calibrate I really feel like that would fix it. Thanks!!

yeah mine did that and calibration fixed it.
power it off, hold down both volume buttons and power it on, holding down all three until the menu appears.
Choose option 3 and away you go!
hth....
Haha, this completely fixed it!!! I'm so excited right now becaus I was terrified I did something to it. It works perfectly again. Thank you guys so much!!!

It's nice to be able to give some advice that works for a change
Well this seem to happen when the screen is off the power button does nothing unless held down for 10 sec then it reboots. My galaxy s phone does the same thing but alot more often and is away getting fixed. Anybody else notice this.

Happened to me for the first time last night (had the tab just over a week)
I was in an app that used the camera, it made a loud beep so I pressed power to turn the screen off (wife was next to me trying to get baby to sleep so didn't want it to beep again), then it wouldn't come back on
Hi,
I'm begging for some help. I had this problem that my soft buttons were getting pressed by themselves. All of the sudden when I was browsing the phone vibrated 3 times and all the sudden I was 3 steps behind. Or when I opened an app it vibrated and whent back to the home screen. I noticed the if I pushed the buttons hard it would stop for a while but it would start after some time again. This morning it really pissed me off so I turned of the phone and pushed all 3 buttons really really hard and up and down. I turned the phone back on and it didn't do the probem. At first I thought it would start after a few hours but it has been over 12 hours the problem is still gone. That makes believe that there is some connection problem under the plastic of the touch button.
Now I have a new problem. The back key is very unresponsive. I have to press it 2-3 times in order for it to work or I have to press it really hard witch is not very good.
Is there a way I can calibrate the sensitivity of the soft buttons or open the phone and clean the contacts or something? What do you guys recommend?
If I take it to service they will keep it for over 3 weeks and I don't have a spare phone. I will do this only as a last resort.
Thanks

I think the buttons you are talking about are the back/menu/home button on the right hand side of the screen. As far as I know they use the capacitance of your finger to detect when they are pushed. No electrical contact is made as a result of the button press.
Has your steak been pulled apart before? If so, there is a possibility (unlikely) that the connector to that circuit isnt properly connected.
There is an app called soft keys or similar that will give you these virtual buttons if yours dont work properly.
It could just be one of those things. (ever tried using a hot steak when you have cold hands? Or put a warm greasy fingerprint on it? It fools the screen)
Best of luck.

I am sooooooo tired of this.
When I had 2.2 I had no issue, but, ever since I upgraded to Gingerbread (2.3) the screen will just turn on out of no where while I am on the phone and a lot of times my cheek will turn off the call or sometimes mute the call. It is so darn annoying.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this issue? I am sure I can't be alone with this.
Odin back to 2.2 and confirm that it is software and not your sensor that has gone bad.

My wife and I have the same phones and she compains of this too. I never have an issue with this on my phone. But, she can use my phone and have this problem. She also said she never had this problem on froyo, only after the gingerbread update.
I've tried installing several proximity sensor apps that are supposed to lock the phone when you put the phone to your ear. But not had the luck witht them that I was hoping for. The phone will lock, but the dialer stays on top of the lock screen. You are only taken to the lock screen after you hang up and the dialer goes away. Please let me know if someone has a solution like this that works!
I think the difference is how she holds the phone to here head. I've noticed her ear doesnt complete cover the proximity sensor all the way. She also likes to hold the entire phone screen tight to her cheek. I've tried to encourage her to hold the phone a little different, but she would rather that it just work for her. She also wants me to restore her phone back to froyo. I hate the idea of that.

also make sure your screen is clean. perticaly around sensor. had a problem with screen not turning off when on phone once and as soon as cleaned screen problem went away.
Just press the power button when your on a call so ths seen won't turn on

Yes, that's a good suggestion, but that wont always keep the screen off. I agree that it *should*.
To test, I call my voicemail.
Putting my finger over the proximity sensor will cause the screen to turn off. Now, lightly pressing the camera button to its half way point caused the screen to turn on. Pressing the volume buttons also turns the screen on. So, overly gripping the phone will turn on the screen.
Next test, turn off the screen with the power button. First call to VM, turn off screen with power button, screen stays off while I try to press volume button, but turns on with half press of camera button.
Seconds call, turn off screen with power button, screen turns on when pressing volume or camera button.
I continued making a few more test calls with these same mixed results. Finger over the proximity sensor always turns the screen off if it was on previously. I just can't get the screen to stay off during a call for my wife. I've tried to convince her she just needs to use a BT headset or wired one for long phone calls. She doesnt care for the solution. LOL.

I should also mention I'm on CleanGB 1.1.2 EL30 modem. This problem happened for her when she was on Sprint's stock GB rom too.

I find that the proximity sensor doesn't work well through hair. if i get a little hair in front of the sensor it would turn on and my cheek would hit end.
My proximity sensor stopped working on CM9, but works just fine on a TW rom (CleanGB). It's not a hardware issue that I assumed previously. Ditto autorotation...
Its not your phone or apps, its Gingerbread for the epic. It has done this since day one for me and others. It particularly happens when you get a text message while on a call. The only thing you can do is if you see it light up, just pull away from your face and then back to it and it will go back off.
I upgraded both our phones to Cyanogenmod 9 beta 1 and she hasn't complained about the proximity sensor problem yet. I think it's almost been 2 weeks. Otherwise, she was about to throw her phone out a window because she was so frustrated.
I've noticed the sensor is setup so there is some delay when turning the screen on and off. So, having the screen come off your face for a second or switching ears quickly, won't aways cause the screen to come back on. So far so good. Plus, I LOVE ICS. It's been a perfect daily driver!

When call is connected go to home screen then push power button
Sadly I couldn't resist and pop the back cover off as my screen was only slightly out,
Tightened the screws not too tight and put the cover back on,
Now few hours later the touchscreen started acting up,
Apps, browser all opening up on there own,
Couldn't even restart it it so held the power to switch off and on,
But now on startup the screen doesn't respond to any touch,
So can't unlock the screen or even shut it back down,
Holding the power button to switch off only restarts it...
Anyone know of a solution to fix this???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can use an OTG cable with a USB mouse or keyboard as a method of input.
Maybe you could pop the back cover off again and check to make sure that none of the connections are loose.
