[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Yeah, this issue just get so weird as time goes. It happens sporadically which makes it even weirder.

Didn't have this problem for like a couple weeks straight, and now it's back with a vengeance these past couple of days lol.

I give up. The myTouch 4G just hates me.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
Try sand-paper the spot (I used a needle to do it since its all I had atm) and add a piece of aluminium foil:

PS: Lets not forget that some of the people reported that this issue was gone as soon as they returned to complete stock. I am positive that I have seen such reports.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Me. I returned to stock and the issue was gone, but sense irritates me more often than screen lag.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
+1 to that, I can't stand sense.

It could be just a software related issue. One TeamRoyal member reported that he has no issues while using their ROM...
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Agreed, but tons of people don't have the issue on cm7.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Had another thought. I've been using the gapps from 6-13-11 and just updated to 8-28-11. We'll see if that helps...
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Does anyone know what the last 2.3.3 nightly was? For the purpose of testing I'll roll back and check it out.

Unless the problem disappears completely due to upgrading from gapps 6-13-11 to 8-28-11, but I really doubt that will fix it...
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
7.0.2 would work
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
So I've been using my glacier all day and haven't seen the bug resurface.

Try upgrading to the newest gapps, 8-28-11. It seemed to solve the problem for me, not sure why...
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Really? I'm using the newest gapps with the gtalk in combination with nightly 175 and I still experience the problem everyday.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
After I did the mod (see pictures in my earlier post), I have no issue at all. Once in a while some random letter would get stuck for a second, but then return to work. This morning a third of the space button did not respond for a second or two.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Well of course after I committed that to text the problem came back. :p
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Its more than likely a kernel issue (if you even want to call it an issue) or better yet a governor issue. If you change your governor to performance and up the min frequency does this issue go away? I bet it does .... just saying. For as fast as this phone is its not light speed.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Nope, not that kind of issue. It's more like a dead spot on the screen than a freeze. Other keys work perfectly, but certain individual letters won't register a touch at all. Very strange...
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Try it before you say nope
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
I just don't see how it could be a OC and governor issue because the keys just randomly die.

Especially the delete key when I long press it to delete quickly. It does the first initial delete, but then freezes right after.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
The governor is changing frequencys
[myTouch 4G General] yang yu:
Good question
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Then why do other keys respond?
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I think it is about any letter that you press quick. Last morning I was pressing Space, and one side of it was not responding. Same happened to the delete, but it often goes back to normal in a second or two.

I also very recently flashed DEMONSPEED kernel, with set CPU having exactly same settings as before: standard clock speed, but then under-clocking as the batter dies.

Maybe we should post our set-ups?
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
I guess we could. But I just can't imagine that it's our frequencies that's causing or aiding the problem. Would be nice if the fix was as simple as that, but I have kept my frequencies the same on every ROM. Sometimes I get the problem and sometimes I don't. So I know it's not my clock or frequency speed that's at fault.

But I'm glad we're slowly getting down to the problem and eliminating other factors.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I just saw on my phone, if the letter gets stuck - tilt phone up and down, and the letter comes back to live. Check if that works for you too.

I might be wrong, it didnt work on letter "e."
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I agree man we're definitely making progress and narrowing things down.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Nope. I stop and very slowly and carefully touch the letter several times and get no response. Waiting a few seconds will sometimes solve it but sometimes you have to lock and unlock the phone or rotate it.

During this time other keys respond as normal. It's NOT os lag, it's touchscreen lag.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
So when you went to stock, the issue reappeared?

I will disable CPU governors and see how that goes.

EDIT: When letter gets stuck - I flipped the screen and touched the same spot, and it was not responding. So it is with the screen. Maybe touch input driver is corrupting...
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Nope, issue disappeared when I restored to stock.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Tried to tell you its not a hardware issue
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
So it is software issue. Lets see what is common with all the ROMs, since most of them cause this issue
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Most of them use kernels from the source code from the cm tree
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I'm on unity and I still get the problem, probably moreso than what I did on MIUI.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Someone should ask somebody who knows for a fact but I think they might share some code
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
Not everyone is having this issue, although most of us using similar kernels. I wish I knew more.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Yeah I wish this was a software issue as well.

But TeeJay3800 has run every single ROM that I have ran, even the same versions at the same time and yet he has never experienced this while I have on every ROM we've ran at the same time.

So there's no other way but to assume that it's a hardware problem. I guess not all phones are made the same, and the eMMC and different screen types proves that.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I never thought it was a hardware issue. It must be some kind of weird driver issue. I just wish I knew how to collect some data that would be helpful in diagnosing the problem.
[myTouch 4G General] cbutt:
I agree. Hardware issue. If same roms have been run at the same time with different results, probably isn't a software issue. Just my 2 cents...
[myTouch 4G General] mikejet:
LOL I have this issue sometimes!

I noticed it on CM7 mostly. It's not that bad on MIUI though I do use the Gingerbread keyboard with both.

It's weird because if I wipe my finger across the areas where the O and DEL are they start working again. Same if I wipe the whole screen clean. I always though I just had oily/dirty hands and that was the culprit.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I was reading the Sensation thread..

Does everyone, who has touch screen issue, have a case on the phone?
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Yeah I have the TPU Fusion case on all the time But I've experienced it with out the case as well. :(
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Nope, I run my phones NEKKID!! ;)
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I have no case on mine.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Btw what keyboards do all of you guys use?
[myTouch 4G General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I have used Smart Keyboard PRO forever, and i have experience what OP talked about on many devices, mostly with stock android keyboard, like on my G1, MT3G, G2, and after one day with my MT4G yet to experience it.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Smart keyboard pro. But its happened to me on other keyboards as well.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I use stock, but tried HTC keyboard and few others.
[myTouch 4G General] cbutt:
Stock, smart keyboard pro, flex, etc. Happens on all of them. Right now I'm using the virtuous doubleshot ROM, stock keyboard & I've experienced the issue much less frequently than previously. Cm7/royalginger 3.0 was brutal, miui was decent, this is the best so far. Sucks being stuck on sense tho...

sent from my HTC glacier!
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Ahh I see. I'm always a SKP user as well, has some awesome themes and just works the best.

But yeah I'm on CM7 thus far and it has been quite brutal for me as well. Pretty much every time I text it happens every time on the Delete button. I'll probably have to go back to MIUI to lessen it.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Yesterday I flashed the new update to VU and instead of just wiping data/cache/dalvik I also wiped the system. I've sent a couple hundred texts without any problems. Knock on wood. Just thought I'd throw this out there.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Yeah I was on VU for two days. I had to leave because battery life was god awful. Battery wouldn't last longer than 8 hours with minimal to moderate usage. Even after a battery calibration. So beats me.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I was getting okay battery life with 2.37. With the 2.39 update, I'm currently at 18 hours with 3 hours of display time and 15% left. Wifi, GPS and everything else on all day. If you like sense I'd recommend thinking about giving it another shot.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Yeah I like Sense, but I'm just too used to CM7 and MIUI's transition animations. And it's overall fluidity. When VU comes out with a Sense 3.5 ROM then I'll probably try it.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I still have no problems. Happened about twice in past two weeks or so
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
After wiping system and flashing 2.39 I've sent close to a thousand texts without the problem. Used to get almost every text I sent.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
And did you guys do the foil/pin trick?
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
No
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I did. I also have no issue so far.

Earlier, I installed MIUI for test, and then did nandroid restore. Not sure if its related, but no issue so far.

Edit: As soon as I wrote this, letter "t" got froze.
[myTouch 4G General] mniroy:
i got the same touchscreen issue few days ago, my "a" letter sometimes stuck and i have to wait for few second to get it working again. when the letter "a" stuck i tried to test it with drawpad and yes, it's not a keyboard problem because in drawpad i can't draw a line in area that near "a" letter before i go to drawpad.

i am using soft jacket ( i take it off immediately)

and sony ericsson charger which is 5V 700mA output. the original HTC charger is 5V 1A right?

how many you guys here using non genuine HTC charger and got the touchsreen problem?
[myTouch 4G General] mustk1ll20:
I'm using a cheap Walmart charger. Screen kinda craps out when plugged in. touch goes out every now and then when off the charger, so gonna try pulling that contact out a little bit and maybe drop a bead of solder on it. See what happens..
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
That 5$ Wal-Mart charger/car charger one? I love that one, so cheap lmao.

But to answer the guys question, I'm using the OEM charger. Gonna switch back to MIUI to see if the screen lag will lessen. It's been terrible lag on CM7 so far for me. :(
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I rarely experience it on Royal Ginger 3.0

Try to use it and see for yourself
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I'm using one of those target dual USB slot chargers for my gf and I.

Causes no issues on my sensation or her inspire.

I suppose I could switch to OEM to test it out.
[myTouch 4G General] mniroy:
i ordered an OEM charger on ebay hope it will fix the issues.

btw, what about keyboard calibration? have you try it?
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I'm using cm7 so don't have the OEM keyboard installed.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I don't think it is a charger issue. I am using the original one, and still I have an issue (
[myTouch 4G General] cbutt:
same here.
[myTouch 4G General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
+1 I got this today on MIUI
[myTouch 4G General] mniroy:
it's strange. i have this issues since i'm using motorola milestone. but MT4G is different, we got the same issues like only letter "a" "p" and "del" stuck.

and it just stuck in a second and after that everything normal again.

in motorola milestone i figure out that is was sweat go into the speaker hole and short circuit the digitizer flex cable. make the touchscreen touch it self and never stop.

here, i have no clue. try to live with it.

zzz
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
+1 the OEM charger is the only one i've ever used
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Overclocked to 1305 and it seems better.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Lol tried telling you that buddy
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Still had the bug today. I think overclocking is masking the problem, not fixing it.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Ya that's what I was thinking. Its what makes me think its somehow a kernel issue
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Personally, I don't think it's a kernel issue cause I've had it happen across several different kernels on several different roms. But I'm open to any idea because the cause of this problem seems impossible to pinpoint. I've been having the problem a lot the past week or so, so I'll change the governor to performance and raise the min frequency and see what happens.

EDIT: It happened again after the second text that I sent.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
For me issue is mainly tied to how long it's been since a full wipe. Almost gone on a fresh wipe but after 10 or 20 nightly flashes it comes back.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I've kinda noticed that too. But for me, I flashed TDJs sense 3.5 port and the issue came back up right away. I went back to VU 2.39 and the issue hasn't appeared once for close to 2 weeks now. I used to get it all the time on Unity, but there's something about 2.39 that seems to fix it. Anyone else on Unity who has any thoughts on this?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
I flashed 2.39 last night and the problem has intensified. It happens more often now. Just came from spending two weeks on CM7.1 with ADW Launcher Ex and it didn't happen once.
[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
I'm still on unity since that last post and haven't had the problem once. What kernel are you using?
[myTouch 4G General] tinpanalley:
Sorry, I have no idea which it was so I had to look it up in the phone. I haven't ever changed the kernel, wouldn't know how.

It's this...

2.6.35.14-unity-v9-gdfc9a05
[General Questions and Answers] NSCoyote:
if this is in the wrong place mods i am sorry so feel free to move to the right place at your discretion as i am not sure where this question would go.

is there an easy to understand way to make an app that would install 1 specific file to a specific folder on the system (/data/local). im no coder so i have no idea how to do this but i want to make an app that is simple and basic so that when a user opens the app it's only function is to install a certain file into the /data/local folder
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Couldn't you just use Root Explorer to do this? I would think there would be a way to do this with Tasker, but I'm not really familiar with the app. I tried out the trial (available on the Tasker website) and learned a little about how to work it, but ultimately realized that there wasn't much that I'd use it for.

I'm sure if you gave your intentions - what file for what reasons, etc - you'd be more likely to get a solution.
[General Questions and Answers] NSCoyote:
i use root explorer for my own phones but i create custom boot animations and i am lookign for a way to make an App that would include (X) bootanimation, and upon downloading/installing it he app would automaticly install the bootanimation.zip file that its bundled with into the users /data/local folder, as some people dont have the tools or abilitys/familierty with the there phone to move the bootanimation to where it needs to be to actually work.

I wasnt able to see it in Google Market from the Nook, strangely, the incompatible Epic (Galaxy S) does let me download it. After wrestling with trying to get the Nook to be able to download directly, I purchased the app and downloaded on my Epic, then used Titanium Backup to backup the app, then downloaded the backup onto the Nook using DropBox, and finally, was able to "restore" the app to my Nook. Works GREAT! Just goes to show you...when there is a will, there is a way!

Market doesn't give a download link. Purchased on my Droid X just fine. I don't like the new market at all. Anyone figure this out?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DrSarcasmo:
I got it working by buying it for my Droid X. Then I installed the old market on my Nook. Did a search for the app. It showed up as purchased. I then just clicked on it and it installed. The key here is to install the old market on your Nook. You can grab it from the latest GAPPS file...I hope that helps ya...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gsc1134:
All I can say is "wow", thanks for the heads up on this. I was using the wiimote/classic controller combo, but picked up a white PS3 controller and I have to say it totally rocks, ie it is a huge improvement over my previous setup.

Getting connected is easy enough and the range is great. Less bulky + better controls = Awesomeness for all My Mario World patches :)

[7 Mozart General] lkachun9129:
I am using Mozart with build 7712.

It seems that I can't access Skydrive ,WLM and fb chat through Message with EDGE data connection enabled.

For Skydrive, I can only access through the browser, but not from Office Hub.

And I tried IM+, I can chat with my friends.

So is EDGE not supported for connecting to Skydrive and chatting in Message?

Thanks in advance.
[7 Mozart General] orouborus:
EDGE might really just be slower compared to 3g. but based on my experience wiith the phone, somehow it has limited support when using edge. for example, if i am using edge, i cant download and send mms. so i guess you have to switch to 3g

Sorry, I'm actually on miui. And

I've never flashed it either, however I do know that there are some very small bugs left in it. I think a certain settings menu force closes. But it's nothing really big. It lists the bugs in the thread. Sorry I can't link to it, I'm mobile right now!

[Droid Incredible General] pcmedics911:
I take it miui is a custom rom?

I just went to the op links and there is mention of AOSPs. I take it that's the Rom to flash then the sense has to be flashed after that?
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
No, they are separate things altogether.

Sense roms are based on HTC's roms, AOSP roms are based on Google's android code.

AOSP = android open source project.
[Droid Incredible General] pcmedics911:
Thank you for the explanation

Now all I have to do is find the elusive 2.0 beta leak of GB called liberation 2.0.

It's alright, gets the job done. It fits the 4G since the S2 is larger. The only issue is you cannot use this with a case. Only the phone can be in there.

There are others on Dealextreme that apparently have a stylus attached.
