I was in a drawing app testing the issue and I noticed that if you draw slowly you get the jittery issue but if you draw faster you get a straight line with no issues, this may just be the app I'm using but if its not then I believe this is probably able to be fixed by a firmware update. Just sayin, please don't flame me if this has already been said.

I've already read somewhere that HTC is indeed working on a firmware update that will fix the screen sensitivity issues so it's only a matter of time. Should be sent out OTA soon
The most recent update fixed the grounding issue.. but now more often than not the screen won't register any touches on the top bar. It also will freeze in transition between sense UI slides.
Anyone else having this problem? I'm taking it back to Sprint to show them the problem.

I was starting to think I was going crazy... I didn't have any grounding issues before the recent update (tested in a variety of ways), but there have been a few times since updating where the screen was not responding properly. I thought it was 'hanging' or something.
Is this what's happening to you/anyone else?
I cant recall having this but i do know someone said it fixed the touch lag too...well not on my device!

Just got my SGS2 and encountered a really odd problem.
When using the phone while lying down on your bed aka checking email in bed, the back key registers 2 key presses.
To reproduce it every time, just slide your finger slowly onto the back arrow from the bottom left.
This only happens while lying down and is actually pretty annoying because it makes navigating pages hard.
Anyone else have this issue?

Tried it and it's perfectly fine for me..

Actually, it happens both normally and upside down. Maybe time to get a replacement, can't be firmware right?

Maybe you should get a replacement.. Have you flashed or rooted your device?

A couple of old threads reported that the back button is not sensitive enough and sometimes would require 2 taps for it to register the command, must be something related?
When looking into buying an s2, I was considering buying a damaged one where the touch buttons wouldn't work. Upon researching so I could find a fix and buy it cheap, it turned out to likely be a hardware issue and on a side note, most of the people that had reported similar or same issues also mentioned using a third party charger/non samsung one.
Basically the kist of the signs of problems - charger thing, erratic touch screen behavior while using the charger, intermittent issues with the soft keys not working, and eventually failure of the soft keys.
But every post I saw resulted in a successful warantee claim. Hopefully the same can be said for you if worst comes to worst
Thanks for the replies,
The phone is less than a week old so I might just have it replaced.
The double tap issue only happens when lightly/slowly pressing "back". But that is very often since the touch screen is so sensitive.. I feel like this all started after upgrading from kg7 to ki2 using kies. Oh well..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Quick question for the community: Would rolling back to KG7 from KI2 using Odin void my warranty? I want to see if the problem was still there, because the phone came with KG7 installed 10 days ago.
I noticed how the touch screen immediately got much more sensitive (too sensitive for my taste) after upgrading to KI2 in Kies. It seems like it starts registering a press when a finger is just barely hovering over the glass which makes it hard to control and the capacitive keys super jittery.
Now, both the "menu" and "back" buttons registers multiple key presses if not pressing them super firmly and quickly.
I hate this stuff... I have never once bought a phone without running into stupid problems like this.
If you only tried to flash official firmware your binary counter won't increase so you can just return to stock firmware.. Check your binary counter in download mode, if it increased even by one use a jig to reset it to zero (with old bootloader ofcourse)..

I do have this issue too, but i'll just tap it very fast to avoid the double tap. Using stock from KF1 still.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I just figured it out. The double tap only happens when the lights are off for the keys. I switched to 6 s/always on and I can't get it to double tap by itself anymore. Worth trying for others with similar problem!

I remember reading a few days back about people having issues with screen tearing. My screen will display a symptom where it has a jagged line shoot across the center area of the screen real fast and then go away. I was wondering if anyone found a solution to that?

No progress has been made, yet. Some think it will be fixed in a software update. When I notified Google support of the issue, they thought it was a hardware problem, but if several people have the issue, maybe it's software.
I'm hoping it is fixed in a software update. That is literally the only issue I have with the tablet.

Yeah I hope so too, but I already have a replacement on the way. I have some other issues with mine though that I felt warranted getting a replacement.
Does the tearing happen to you all the time or just in certain apps? It only happens on mine when I'm playing music. It will show up for a split second as a quick horizontal line then disappear. The line appears in different areas of the screen each time. I notice it the most when it happens in Chrome, but I've seen it on the homescreen and in other apps as well.
Mine happens frequently throughout the ui. Xda app, chrome, everywhere really. If it is a software issue though there really is no point in exchanging. It seems to happen more frequently in an app with a light background.

I have this problem as well.. I only notice it in tapatalk though.. I'm not sure If its because I use tapatalk all the time or what..

Mine happens in chrome pretty regularly as well. Could it be something with the video drivers for this thing?

So apparently it was a bad kernel that I was using that caused the problems. Flashed a completely stock build and the problems are gone. To the people that chimed in and said they had the issue, are you on a stock ROM or did you change that and the kernel?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've noticed this, but it's only happened twice (so far), Once was whilst using chrome, the other time just sat on the homescreen. I'm currently using stock.
(Not too worried, just as long as it's not a line of pixels about to give up the ghost as some other people have had).

Happens to me on stock rom. My N7 is not rooted or unlocked.
Pretty sure this only happens when you force GPU acceleration. I had the same issue, turned it off, and never saw it again.
Of course I love GPU acceleration too much to leave it off, but a jagged line every once in a while is not a deal-breaker for me.

Glad it worked for you, but I don't have that option on nor any other's enabled in the development menu. Regardless, the issue persists.
Is there anyone else having this issue?
I received a replacement today, but I couldn't escape defects on that on that one either. I'm trying to figure out if I should hang in there for a fix on the screen tearing/horizontal line issue, or if I should just send both back and call it a day.

I just found this thread. I have the same issue. I'm on stock kernel, unlocked/rooted, and stock rom. I don't have GPU acceleration forced.
Any further ideas? Could be a driver issue.

People here think the screen flickering issue could be resolved in software, but I'm not sure about the issue we are having.
I might go through the unlocking process just to see if the horizontal line stuff happens on other roms/kernels.
I really hope it can be addressed in a software update. I just struck out on my 3rd nexus. All of them have screen defects. All have had other issues like creaking and slight screen lift, but those are a lot less of a problem to me. The original one is ok except for the horizontal line issue. My two replacements each have dead pixels and dust in central areas of the screen.
This is ending up to be a very tiring and disappointing pursuit.
If it's a software problem it's likely to be in the tegra3 proprietary driver blobs. If this is indeed the case, changing rom and/or kernel will make little difference (because they share the same blobs).
It might be possible to work around the issue outside of the blobs but its likely only nvidia can fix the root cause.

Hopefully someone at Google watches some of these threads. I have 2 nexus 7s with this issue. Thanks for trying to save me the time of trying a different ROM/kernel, but I might still try a CM10 build for kicks.
My first tablet had one dead pixel and it had this issue too. My second one is perfect except for this problem. It probably does have to do with the tegra 3. I hope its a software issue because this one is perfect except for that one problem. I'm not rooted nor unlocked and no force GPU rendering either. It only occurs on some apps with mine. Tapatalk, facebook and barely ever on chrome. I haven't seen it on any games or video nor on the home screen. There should be a place to report this to Google... I doubt they are searching through xda looking for every little problem. I've had this issue for a while and have been searching specifically for bit and just found it today. Also I never see it in horizontal mode.

I have this issue too and I think it's likely to be a driver issue as it appearance seems random and sporadic in frequency, but it's always really hard to tell about these things.
In any I'm guessing some people just don't notice this issue and thus haven't really talked about it. But it sure is discomforting seeing it.
I seem to suffer from this too.. Everything is stock on mine, no mods, no flashes no unlocks.. It appears to be worse when its been on for a long time.. Wondering if its heat related?

Still no idea how to replicate it. Seems to happen randomly. I usually have to turn off and on the screen to get it working again.

Strange issue, in thinking it could be the screen protector, or maybe you have all in one gestures enabled or a similar app that allows you to tap on statusbar for something. , or could just be defective. That's all I got. There was an awesome update today for T-Mobile
It fixes screen sensitivity and palm rejection as well as battery and performance upgrades. Its a great update but don't take it if you are gonna want root because they might find a vulnerability on the old software. Or maybe they find it on later software. No one really knows right now. Its up to u but I upgraded. Its worth it to me.
