Another one with this problem. Noticed it yesterday. Screen facing in. Will try to face outwards next time in a warm building with carrying in pocket.

Same thing here though. Cant move the unlock but can slide the sound just a little bit. Funny ****
[Streak 5 General] bartsplanet:
I thought it was either the ROM or my phone. I'm thinking about putting a zagg on the front to see if it makes any difference.
[Streak 5 General] zkyevolved:
I'd like to add this issue. I hope dell fixes this. Because its rather annoying. And usually I find just turning off the screen and turning it back on generally helps but that shouldn't be necessary if you ask me.
[Streak 5 General] fards:
It's because the screen gets some condensation on it I think, and with the multi touch it struggles to work out position of your finger.

it was happening on 2.1 as well for some people.

It want as noticeable on 1.6 as 1.6 didn't support multi touch fully across the os...

To demonstrate this try a very small amount of moisture on a finger then draw over the screen, it goes beserk....

Easy fix, as already pointed out, face the streak screen out when in your pocket...
[Streak 5 General] matheprat:
I'm having the same problem here. The screen works fine when it's facing outwards in my pocket, but I worry about it getting damaged more than if it were facing inwards.
[Streak 5 General] jeams:
i usually port the phone to my cheek. the screen seems to regain sensivity after that.

iv got facial hair and it seems that it draw static electricity out.

also cloacking the proxymity sensor whyle trying to unlock make the screen unresponsive. If you cloack the proxymity sensor then uncloack it, the screen regain sensivity.

it seems to somehow force the screen sensor to stop and restart.
[Streak 5 General] taskinlude:
i am living in hong kong, a warm place in south china.

the unrespondsive problem happens these days as the weather is much cooler than b4 (say 12'C)

every time i need to pull the bat out to make it ok again, i didn't try to make the screen "cooler" to see if the screen is respondsive again, but i will try.

There appear to be several other threads regarding this issue.

Search Results - Keyword(s): sticky, slider ; Forum: Dell Streak and child forums

My solution to sticky slider

Steve, can anything be done about the ...

[Q] Sticky slide to unlock (again) advice?

And

sticky slide to unlock ?

My best solution has been to use No Lock and Incoming Call Plus from the Market. However, that isn't a solution, just a bandaid. I have done the screen calibration and going to try it 'screen out' in pocket with No Lock uninstalled and see how it goes.

I'm thinking this is a build quality issue. Maybe the screen is peeling up a little in the corners? If any other company would just build a 5" phone tablet... HTC I'm looking at you!
[Streak 5 General] Dunhamzzz:
Glad I'm not the only one raging about this issue!

I suspect it's down to the hardware, hopefully a screen protector may remedy the problem a bit.
[Streak 5 General] chinkostu:
i always get this. glad im not alone. maybe some sort of screen protector?
[Streak 5 General] michelhuy:
I had exactly the same problem, and this came after the 2.2 upgrade from 1.6 stock dell upgrade. I tried the nolock app, but this didn't solve the problem as now it wasn't the slide to unlock screen that was frozen or extremely sticky, it was the main "desktop".

I now remember when I first received my phone with stock 1.6, I had really weird screen behavior which led me to believe that the phone was busted on arrival. Before starting to see a lawyer to sue, I did find out that the screen could be calibrated and therefore did that, twice and fixed the problem then.

After upgrading to 2.2, I had the sticky / frozen unlock screen and thought it was a 2.2 bug - which made me regret upgradinbg despite all the other benefits from 2.2, and even considered getting another phone. I re-calibrated the screen again last week, and haven't had a sticky/frozen screen yet, no need to take out the battery or reboot since.

Good luck

[Streak 5 General] dmarsalekjr:
I have the sagging, makes no diff , still happens.
[Streak 5 General] stevenlong:
One thing that appears to have helped (e.g. I don't see the problem) is putting the microfiber cover that came with the streak on when I put it in my pocket.

When it is on I don't see the problem but when it is off I do (either facing in or out).

I have also tried the recalibrate but that only appears to work for a limited amount of time (I've done this two times now and both times it would work for a while but then have the problem again).
[Streak 5 General] Dr.Dellka:
Well, I always carrry it in microfiber bag, but... that wasn't the issue.

Sometimes the upper half of the screen would freeze up in the middle of texting which was REALLY ANOYING.

And after removing app killer, I haven't noticed the problem. It's been a week now. I will wait and see
[Streak 5 General] stang393:
I had posted this as a new thread, but it appears I am not alone.

I too am having the same problem. I can't answer calls, unlock my screen, it's a PITA.

I've tried carrying it im my coat pocket, hanging on the back of my chair, inwards, outwards. Neither helped.

when I first uprgaded it did not have this problem, it seamed like when I started installing apps, So I'm slowly removing everything..
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
i had this problem when i stored my phone in the bag in my jeans pocket with lcd facing in or out, after i recalibrated, seemed to fix the problem, havent had it since. on the other hand, prior to recal i did not have the problem when i stored it in jacket pockets
[Streak 5 General] boonadx:
This was the first problem I encountered after getting my 2.2 Streak... within the hour before anything was installed. Top half of the screen worked so I could drag the volume but not unlock.

So I don't think the problem's got anything to do with any installed software.

I thought I had a DOA screen until I googled and found that it could be fixed with a screen recalibration, which did solve it. Then it happened again so I noticed that it only did that after I left it in my pants for a while. Turning it screen outwards like what some of you are suggesting, did stop it from happening again.

Because of that, I did an experiment and found that the screen reacts to touch EVEN with a layer of cloth in between, which I thought capacitive screens aren't supposed to. On confirmation with an iPhone owner, that screen doesn't respond if there's a piece of cloth in between.

So I'm thinking maybe it's because the screen is getting swamped by repeated/random multiple contact with through the cloth and gave up.

Does anybody has another capacitive screen device they can test my Sensitive-Through-Cloth theory with? :D
[Streak 5 General] CrArc:
I don't think this is to do with software, temperature, humidity or the rest of it.

I reckon this is a build-up of static electricity.

Check the facts:

- Screen is

capacitive

-

Different fabrics

affect whether the issue occurs

- Problems can occur in pockets when the

screen is facing your leg

(which is rubbing against the fabric as you move around) and

not when facing the other way

.

- Your phone can do this r

egardless of how warm or cold it is

. Surely it would stop working randomly during use (as the phone warmed up) if it was temp-related.

- It takes

roughly a minute

to start working again (while you inadvertently discharge it by trying to unlock the phone)

It all sounds like static to me.

When it happens to me, usually putting my entire palm on the screen and gently swiping off is sufficient to discharge it and make it work again.
[Streak 5 General] stang393:
Only problem with that theory, is that why would only half the screen work? In all cases I could draw (im my head) the exact area which the screen was working and not, And it was in fact the same each time...
[Streak 5 General] CrArc:
Okay, there is that but, that doesn't really disprove or prove any of the prevailing theories. And in my case, there isn't a particular region on the screen that is solely affected either. Its just the whole screen :/
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
this worked really well for me, thanks!
[Streak 5 General] DJ_Steve:
Static makes sense. If my reading of how the streaks touch screen works and is designed works

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] Streakr:
I know this sounds simple but I found it helps. Clean your entire screen more often. I have found even a slight bit of oil on anything that is active on the screen will hold it in a frozen state. Discovered this by accident while swiping the top notification bar to try to unfreeze the screen. I ended up cleaning up the build up by accident. It wasn't even noticable. I will be testing this further but I haven't had the issue since frequent cleanings. I use a micro cloth. Don't know if that matters.
[Streak 5 General] cacacho:
No problem with frozen screen any longer

I had problems with the screen after upgrading to 2.2 EU, where the screen froze and would not allow for any input. I found that using the Streak in the sleeve avoided the problem, but made handling it cumbersome. After reading about using the phone with the screen facing outwards when in the pocket I decided to give it a try. i am happy to report that after a few days, there is no lockup any longer. Definitely recommend this as a solution.
[Streak 5 General] br4nd0nh347:
What works for me, when I remember.

Keeping the screen clean. (it get's oily quickly, maybe a screen protector would help)

Facing the screen outwards, or better yet putting it in coat or jacket pocket with the screen facing outside. I do this mainly so the screen would not get too cold in the winter.

Also it seems that sometimes right after charging or plugging it into the computer, this would happen. (although my screen was oiled up during those times too)

I use bluetooth so I can still accept calls.
[Nook Color General] up_roscommon:
I finally got the proxy settings for work working properly. I can now browse the Web at work.
[Nook Color General] kingu:

[Nook Color General] Homer_S_xda:
I could not get this to work for me. I got Firefox installed and made sure it would browse at home. At work, I fire it up, plug in the network.proxy.http and network.proxy.http.port, then change network.proxy.type to 1. No joy. Note, I'm using the exact same settings as are in my iPod Touch 3G for the same network which works flawlessly (shameless NC/Android dig, sorry). Any tips?

Homer
[Nook Color General] ColdH33t:
Ditto, I can't seem to find a clean solution.

So far my best bet is to use connectbot to tunnel all my conections through to my server. I'm not sure how to go about that but we'll see what happens.

I'm about to put Nookie Froyo on this b/c I really want Internet at school.
[Nook Color General] triggrhaapi:
Would this setting perhaps allow me to use my nook color on a linksys wireless bridge? When the bridge is plugged in, I get a "connected but no internet" and when it's unplugged, I get, "connected to the internet" but with a weak signal.

I'm not sure what the issue is, but the Nook is the only device that constantly has this problem.
[Nook Color General] tsukaza:
A better solution is use Opera Mobile 10 beta and select opera:config. The proxy setting is in there. Works 10 times better then Fennec/Firefox.
[Nook Color General] Yoy0YO:
but what I really want is something that can proxy the whole system, so that market and gmail and other apps have access to the internet

Are you all sure that there's no solution to that? even as of now?
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
k

so

i put my phone on craigslist.

k

for this conversation

we will use the following :

Scrizz

I get an email from UnlockWirless@Gmail.com (not misspelled BTW)

I replied with my price.

then i get this response.

Do I care? Go complain somewhere else.

Its 24... 16+ 8 external.
Smartass

Bullfucking**** go to T-Mobile and buy it w/o contract for $122

I am done.
Have a nice day you ****ing thief.
This phone isn't even going that low on xda.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
You're a ****ing joke.
Even used this phone is selling for a lot more.
Don't give me the I buy ansld sell phones BS.
Because that's what I do.

Then go to eBay.

Good for you.
Go buy you brand new sealed phones on eBay then.
You're not getting this phone.
Actually might have a trade for a mt4g,

i lol and say

Wow, you're an ignorant and presumptuous dumb ****.
If you really knew as much as you claim to know, you'd know this phone is basically unbrickable.
Samsung anyway ftw.

I really wish he was infront of my face to teach him a lesson in rooting.

looks like you need to do more research.

lastly he comes with this.

moral of the story is:

is a F****** JOKE.

don't ever do business with them.

I like how he tried to use his email address to establish some form of credibility. Congrats dude, you were the SECOND person who tried to get unlockwireless from gmail, either that you you just suck at spelling. How about you put enough effort into registering your own domain first, then maaaaaybe some people will take you seriously.. but judging by the way you speak to others I find that highly unlikely.
[Vibrant General] west-siiiyyde:
Call me old fashioned, but.....

Why would you talk to a stranger like that?

You must have known after his second email that you weren't going to be selling it to him. Why not take the higher road, wish him a good day, and end it there?

Maybe we should all send him email asking him how much he's selling Vibrants....I bet over 300! :p
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Scrizz, I really would of expected more from you..

Really think next time.. Ok, so this is what you do :D

1.) Tell him "Ok, $150 sounds good" (After he shuts up)

2.) Meet Him

3.) *POW* "Does that look like a $150 phone?!?!"

4.) Walk away and wait for more replies.

[Vibrant General] howetechnical:
To each their own. I realize that my previous comment may come off differently than what I had intended (more blunt, which was not my aim), but the truth still holds. One's vocabulary and sentence structure dictates much of their personality and aim in life, which is not to say the occasional heated discussion involving profanity marks that person as anything negative, but continual repeats do just that. As far as I know this was a one time thing, and as often as I have wished to speak similarly to T-Mobile CSR's or others I come into contact with that should be wearing helmets, I don't want to get into that habbit.

No insult meant, and by all means anybody may judge me if they like (this is a public forum after all). I'm not sure your final statement would really bring the result you are inferring, though, if that were to be done.
