Hey guys I have been experiencing issues when I receive calls. I try to slide to answer and it doesn't recognize my finger the first few times which has caused me to miss calls. It is like it is hung up and takes time to recognize finger detection. My family and neighbor have both complained about this. What gives? Should I report these issues to Samsung? Anyone else having this problem? So many glitches south this phone.
Yeah I have this issue as well. Haven't found a fix other than change to pressing home button to answer.

Sliding with my thumb finger to answer does not work
Sliding with my index finger works.
Looks like the touch screen sensibility depends on which finger you use to slide.

I've found that if you rest your finger on the green circle for about a half second before you slide, it will work every time.

+1. Samsung seemed to have changed the way you answer your calls. Was a bit frustrating at first, but am used to it now.

Does anyone have an issue with your cheek pushing buttons while you are on the phone? I am running liberated_aria and whenever i am on the phone, my screen does not shut off like other phones and I end up either hanging up on people or moving widgets and even adding widgets..
has anyone else noticed this? is there a fix for it?
Its happened to me once on an Aosp rom. Haven't had any problems after that though.

I haven't had any problems. The proximity sensor is on the top right of the phone, where the AT&T logo is. Try making a call, to voicemail or something, and then waving your finger over the sensor. Does it ever turn the display off? Could be a software bug I suppose, or just a faulty sensor.
if you use your left hand/ear its pretty easy to dodge the sensor, unfortunately.
I tried a call using my right hand and I dont have that problem. Only the left.. I guess Ill have to start making all my calls right handed.
It figures...
Us southpaws always get the short end of the stick. FWIW, I almost always hold my phone(s) left handed, and only rarely seem to have this problem. ( It might just be that I have a huge head, and big ears. )
Im a righty and sometimes when making calls i get a haptic vibration from my face touching the nav buttons i think, nothing happens though.
My girlfreind is having the same issues with her handset.
We found her an Aria about 2 weeks ago at Best Buy Mobile for $1. They are running some great special for non-iphone handsets. The Aria was giving her problems and we ended up exchanging it. The 2nd Aria also has the same issue. While on the phone, her cheek will press random buttons and even hang up. Sometimes she just feels vibration, sometimes its a number pad press, and sometimes she just hangs up all of a sudden.
It seems to be some sort of sensor issue. Does anyone have some insight as to how to fix it? It's kinda of a big deal if the phone function is impaired by having to hold it away from your face.
Thanks!

Other then making sure her head is covering the sensor, she canlock the phone in mid call and it should stop her phone from registering her cheek while on a call

Huh. I'm a righty, but I talk left hand / left ear, and I never have any problems. Do you tilt the phone in some strange way?

Thats a good idea. Thanks.
This issue is really pissing me off. I love this phone a lot but the proximity sensor is not working as it should, atleast with my head shape.
Seems almost in every other call I make/receive my cheek contacts the screen and pushes something because the proximity sensor is not detecting me head.
I've tried locking the phone with the button on top of the phone but that does not work, it's only temporary until the proximity kicks back in.
And, the funny thing is, when I try to "test" it out or replicate the situation I can never seem to do it again! It always happens unexpectedly.
I'm in the same boat with this too, but it's a hit or miss thing and really could be much worse.

i can't say i've ever run into this specific problem. i've actually been impressed with how well the sensor has been working.
i would agree with the previous poster who suggested to lock the screen once the call is active. make your call then tap the power button to lock the screen and that should help you avoid the issue.

I believe I had this issue 2 times.... But not often tho.
this happened to me once when pulling out the phone out of my pocket to answer a call. I thought it was a one time glitch...

Hi,
Just got my Desire HD today and it's all good except I've noticed a rattle when the vibrator kicks in, ie when you're entering text for a message etc that is a very different sound to the actual vibrator itself. Has anyone else noticed it?

nope, mine does not have that. Hope that yours is OK
Lo,
not sure if it's just me and coming from my Hero, but I do have issues at times with the screen getting to recognise my finger presses. This can be in games to apps; I generally find that a firm press works but surely this should be needed.
Can anyone else confirm whether they have the same or whether mines gone a bit dodgy?

Mine started to feel less sensitive and on web sites I find it had clicking on curtain parts of the page for example I click my ebay tab but have to give a few tries as it thinks I clicked the tabs either side

Yeah,,i'm the same when trying to select tabs on dolphin hd. It was a pain trying to play fruit ninja too.
Mine did seem super sensitive at first too and noticed like others that if you held your finger really close,b ut not touching, the screen still recognised the touch.
I hope then this isnt something that worsens overtime - I'll wait and see.
Thanks
I'm curious about this now because at first I also noticed it would respond if my finger was very close but still above the screen. I don't know if I've gotten used to that now or if it's actually changed. There has been two software updates so it's possible they tweaked a setting. Despite not noticing the hovering touch any more the screen is still far more responsive than my Milestone.
With the last 2 updates, they did change the screen sensitivity.
Could one of you undo the updates or hard reset, and see if it is sensitive again? That way, we know it's just software and tweakable.
I can't because I do not have my phone yet. Lol... (actually that isn't funny)..
My phone has had all the updates done and I find my screen sensitivity to sensitive. But then again I have come from a Touch Pro 2 where it wasn't the best anyway.
No problems here. Search for multitouch test on the market for some objective testing. (You can also see with this app that HTC solved the weird multitouch problem that previous devices had.)
From my testing, it seems to react better to a greater surface area contact; the tip of my finger barely triggers it, but if I use the full end of my finger it seems fine.
Bit odd and annoying
Mine's *too* sensitive.

I would call the HTC helpdesk and ask for a pick-up repairment or go back to the store and swap it for another one.
Has anyone noticed wonking on stock gingerbread? I have GR140. Since this morning I notice that when call arrives on phone screen off, screen doesn't come back on properly.
Only notification area is displayed. Rest of screen is black. Workaround is to press power key twice.
Yes, I am having the same issue. The work around for me(Since my power button is broken) is sliding on right to left approximately where "Slide to Answer" bar should have been and sometimes I am successfully able to receive the call.
Nope, I don't have this problem.
I keep having the same problem every since the new firmware came through. I haven't tried the power-button twice workaround.
Yep.. I'm having this problem as well.. very annoying.. Any one find a fix?
A fix for this will be shortly released by Google. Its a known issue.

I've had it a few times, normally, just rotating the phone causes the screen to re-appear.

Hey everyone, I just got my oneplus 5 and i seem to be having issues with the screen. First, the capacitive buttons don't seem to be working at times, i'll click on them and it's like nothing is happening while using the phone, the fingerprint sensor does work, while that happens the phone will also have where if i'm dragging an app, it'll just stop moving the app and i'll try and hold the app again and it'll drop it a second later, it's like it's not seeing that i'm still holding on, same thing when using the swipe feature in the keyboard.

Take off the screen protector and try.
