'crazy Volla'
-
@sven yes, i want to replace touchscreen. I searched from China to Portugal and couldn't find it.
I'm in Portugal and I can buy in the European community. -
@Carlos said in 'crazy Volla':
I'm facing the same problem, "ghost touches".
BTW: I have seen another Volla Phone (= GS 290) under Android (/e/ OS) and its main aging symptom was: ghost touches. Hence, probably you are facing a hardware problem, not a software problem.
-
Hello, I also know the ghostly touches. It happens to me about once a week. In a short time, 4-5 applications are started. Mostly when I have the mobile phone in my hand. I wonder if this could have something to do with the high sensitivity of the display on my volla x23. It is designed as a rough phone for glove operation. Even at a small distance above the display (from approx. 1 mm), inputs are accepted. Perhaps the fingers of the hand holding the mobile phone by the edge are enough?

A curiosity, when the touch doesn't react to touches, if I press long on the touchscreen area between 7 and # of the dialing app, the touch works again briefly.
Mine is a first generation vollaphone. -
Finally, I already had this problem with the screen remaining frozen unresponsive without being able to unlock it on the Volla. The screen becomes responsive after two short presses of the power key (dark screen then lit). Nothing to do with screen protection glass because I've never used that. I wonder if this doesn't happen when the rotation is unlocked: to be observed. Or maybe another software bug that activates under certain circumstances.
-
@domubpkm Does your Volla support Double Tap To Wake? If so, is the setting on? Maybe you could try turning it off, if it is?
-
@arubislander No double tap but the fingerprint sensor allows you to wake up and unlock the screen. But I really suspect that the problem comes from the unlocked rotation. If I remember correctly, leaving the rotation unlocked has already created problems on other smartphones.
-
I have always blocked the rotation, but still have the ghost operation regularly every few days. Strange that this only happens with volla phones and then with different hardware. I use an x23.

Yes, that's exact. I had 'a Volla delirium attack' with the rotation blocked after receiving an SMS that I could not answer (innactives keys)
. A mystery.Now I've disabled access to the launcher when locked to see if that improves things.
-
So unchecking 'allow launcher when locked' seems to have removed the bug on my Volla. Which could therefore mean that it is a Lomiri bug (for the vollas only ?) if it is confirmed.
Please test on your vollas (reboot one time your volla after uncheck) and do feedbacks..

@domubpkm
I have just checked my settings. But "allow launcher when locked" has always been deactivated for me. -
@Charly The Volla X23 being under halium 12 and not halium 9 like the volla or 11 like the 22, the problems can be even more specific. What can be solved for the volla or the volla 22 might not be solved for the Volla X23. But i confirmed what i did fixed the issue for me at this time..

@domubpkm
It's hard to test this because "crazy volla ghost" only happens occasionally. -
@domubpkm I have a FP4 and it also happens. Rebooting seems to fix it for 1 or 2 days
-
Yes, the volla that goes crazy with multiple apps opening without doing anything is a real mystery. It doesn't happen often and fortunately, like the unresponsive screen freeze. 2 restarts of the volla may be necessary to fix this. A thorough cleaning of the screen is always welcome as I don't know if it could be an electrostatic reaction of the screen...

Well,kl.k ä n j
My phone is bare ly ubskmkl äl ukhs usable anymore because of this scary ghost touches. I just wanted to sign in to an account and gave up after 15 minutes.As you can see by the text above, sometimes I can write stuff, sometimes it just types nonsense by itself or doesn't response at all. Sometimes it is messing with my configurations (e.g. by turning stuff in and off through the head bar; wifi, sound, etc). More and more nothing works at all.
I don't have the capacity at the moment to set up a new ubuntu touch phone. And I've never used or want to use any Apple or Android smortphone. I hate this at the moment. And the fact that nobody seems to get how the ghost touches appear makes it so weird; often enough I thought someone else is messing with my phone remotely.
PS: didn't expect to get this far with typing after the start was very very not promising. I need to turn off the screen a lot in between to be able to type

@Taiga-Woods
I also have a Vollaphone with same "ghost touch" problems. I decided to change the touchscreen myself and contacted Vollaphone to buy the touchscreen, but the answer was that there are no parts available.
I then found the courage to disassemble the Vollaphone, I take note of part-number of touchscreen and did contact cleaning on connectors. It worked well for some days.
Now I am waiting for a spare that I ordered and maybe fit this model. -
@Carlos
Wow, that's brave.
I haven't had any crazy volla signs for a while. The reasons for crazy volla are not yet clear to me. I suspect it is due to the high sensitivity of the display. I'm told it can be operated with gloves. Maybe it's due to static charge on the rather thick display protection film? It could also be a software bug. Maybe we can narrow it down together. -
@Charly There could be several reasons: a static overload of the touch screen (I do not use protective films in my case) and also one or more software bugs which would be triggered under certain conditions.
In any case, regular cleaning of the screen is recommended and one or two restarts of the Volla are the solutions that work in my case.
