When I go into the my apps section of the Amazon App store, initially, it functions just fine, but after queuing up a lot of installs and while multiple downloads are still in progress, it begins to mis-register touches on the install buttons on the right, partially seeing them a couple inches above my finger if I'm touching low, or below if I'm touching high, in portrait. Mostly the wrong buttons animate a touch a little, without queuing, but a few times, the wrong program was queued for install. It seemed easier to touch the program itself, and install from that program's page. Once the installs are done, it seems to go back to registering touches properly. I was able to replicate the behavior.
I've only seen this behavior in one other place: Tower Raiders Gold. There, in landscape, the miscue is a couple inches side-to-side while in a level, though touches in the menus seem fine.
It doesn't really seem to be a hardware issue because in all other locations, touch registers perfectly, including a sketchpad where I draw all over the screen. Has anyone else witnessed this behavior anywhere?
This happens to me sometimes in the stock browser when many things are going on. Maybe it's just getting over worked? Did you try uninstalling & reinstalling the app store?
Haven't tried that but I did get Tower Raiders working. Zooming out got rid of the issue in the first level and it hasn't cropped up since. The amazon store issue doesn't come up often, I was mostly concerned I might have been wrong and my tab was defective. Your experience seems to confirm it is a bug.

I face a problem which is about the graphical rendering.
Some apps some button will appear as broken which makes me confuse.
And also when I using the browser to surf on some flash video website, it appear to have some broken rendering problem.
Just like the one you may got on computer 3D rendering.
I know the above are hard to understand, but I really don't know how to present those idea.
Sorry for that and also my bad English.
Thanks everyone who came in this post.
This shows the problem when using friendcaster.
Huh, sorry you are having issues. I have yet to see anything like this on mine.
Hope someone has an answer for you.
I'm not sure entirely what you are asking here... so I'll just ask you, what's wrong in the picture?
However, sometimes while web-browsing, certain pages won't show properly (things missing, or off page and you can't scroll to them). Often this can be fixed by changing the setting of the browser to load pages in PC format, (or tablet/phone/ipad). Sometimes just getting a different internet browser can help too.
As for apps having missing buttons - this could possibly be fixed by going into setting>manage applications>(whatever app it is)
-clear cache
-clear data
Then try opening it again. If it still doesn't work properly, uninstalling it and re-installing it might help (this worked for a friend with his phone just last night).
If you are really desperate to try everything, factory resetting your tablet might help - though you will loose all your data and it isn't garaunteed to help .
Other than that, you have to keep in mind that developers don't exactly have every device made available for them to test their apps on, and this being a honeycomb device, it already has lots of compatibility issues they have to tackle - perhaps a polite email to the developer of the app explaining your problem would result in them eventually making a fix for it. Be sure to include your version of Android (in full) and device name to help him narrow it down.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting - I sent Gameloft a very polite email over a month ago requesting their support for sony tablet s, and so far, no change (half their games are still not compatibile).
sometimes on apps that aren't 100% compatable with the screen ratio or resolution, i have to press the little square with the arrows pointed outward near the clock and press either "stretch to fill screen" or "zoom to fit screen"
i had the same button issues with speedtest.net app
Thanks everyone who reply on this issue.
Actually what I am facing is about the "triangle" broken mark appear in the picture which show up in the app "Friendcaster".
I think the app should be a pad version as there were no arrow icon.
I am wondering is this a common issue, as I found out the issue of video site is a common one as I have a try out with some display tablet in the retailer.
I'm on T-mobile and got an HTC One a couple weeks ago. It is running android version 4.1.2 with HTC Sense version 5.0.
Everything is great except for an inexplicable problem I have when typing on the keyboard (HTC Sense input). No swype, just typing.
Normally, if you type a word that isn't in the dictionary, it displays the word you actually typed on the "word bar" that pops up. It shows up on the leftmost side. If you tap the word, it will be added to the dictionary. To the right of that word is the word it thinks you meant to type. If you just press space, it will auto correct to that suggested word. So far so good, this all makes sense.
Now, I have an extremely annoying problem. Say I want to type the word "jellybean." I am very careful to press each letter exactly, and can see the letters that pop up above the individual keyboard letters as I am typing. All correct. However, rather than showing that I typed "jellybean" it shows "helkybean." It does this kind of thing with almost every word. Another example, I'll type "morning." The word that shows up is "nirbibg." This appears on the leftmost side of the suggested word bar, implying that this is what I actually typed, and just to the right of that (first suggested word) it shows "morning." In other words, the phone seems to think I typed "nirbibg" when I meant to type morning.
I am totally baffled as to why this happens. Even if the calibration is off, I am clearly pressing the right keys! The correct letters are shown in the little popup as I'm typing. Why, oh why in the world would this be happening?
Here are some more examples, first showing what I'm actually typing and what the phone seems to think I am typing. I am being very careful to push each letter exactly:
Hello, how are you doing?
Hekki, hiw are yoy diibg?
This keyboard is really frustrating me.
Tgis jeyboard us reakky frustratubg ne.
This makes absolutely no sense at all.
Tgus najds absikuteky no sebse at akk.
Clearly this is a practical joke of some kind.
Ckearkg this is oractucak jije if sine kind.
Riding the Saturn 5 rocket must have been quite an experience.
Ridibg tge Saturb 5 ricjet nust have beeb quute an exoeruebce.
Also, I will type a word like "of," pressing each letter correctly, watching the pop-up confirmations show the correct letters, and still it types "if."
I have bilingual prediction off, and the keyboard language is English. Swype is off, though it didn't seem to make any difference whether it was on or off. My dictionary contains the usual naughty words that everyone must add at some point, with no such gibberish. If I just type normally, the gibberish word auto corrects to the right word when I press space, but I'd like to know why it even shows up in the first place when I clearly typed the correct letters!
I am sure this is a simple fix but I am just totally baffled as to why this happens. Any ideas? For what it's worth, this only seems to happen when I type in landscape mode.
Did you try re-calibrating the keyboard? (Settings>Language and keyboard>HTC Sense Input>Advanced>Calibration tool) Even if you don't think it's the problem, it's worth a shot - it only takes a minute, and it does noticeably improve the accuracy, at least to me. I just tried a bunch of random sentences and I was able to type all of them properly on the first try.
Yep, I did. First I reset the calibration, same thing. Then I re-calibrated. Same thing.
When I am typing in portrait mode it seems to be fine. No such problems. Only in landscape mode does this happen, but the calibration appears to only work in portrait mode. If there's a way to do a landscape calibration, I haven't found it.
Make sure every thing is set to English US. Even under post spellling settings.

I am running arhd 8.0 ElementalX kernel had same issue under settings. Its due to the languages . turns out Italian Portuguese Spanish french were on and its auto correcting, just make sure English is the only one checked should resolve the issue.

Yep, everything is set to English. That was one of the first things I checked. This includes the post-spelling check.
I also notice know this seems to only happen in the Facebook app...when I use Gmail or SMS, everything is fine. Hm...
That is not such a huge problem then, but I still don't understand why the behavior would change in a different app. I assumed the keyboard interface was low-level enough that the apps would not affect how it works. Weird...

I don't have a fix, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone. When I try typing "autocorrect" in the Facebook app (no other app does this) I get "auticirrect".
But get this. It only happens when I hold the phone horizontally. Vertically, it types fine.
It does other odd things too, like the word suggestion bar will freeze, even though I can still type. While signing up for this account, it did it again and the Sense keyboard crashed and sent an error report. Hopefully a fix is coming.
This may be stating the obvious, but if this problem continues, there are lots of keyboards available you can try that won't have this problem. I'm pleasantly surprised by the stock Sense keyboard, but there are others that I like more.
Not Isolated
As far as I can tell this isn't an isolated incident, as I'm able to replicate the incident as well.
To replicate:
1. Open the facebook app on a stock HTC One
2. Hit the write status button
3. flip the phone to horizontal position.
4. type an "o".
5. type another letter. watch as the "o" changes to an "i".

Ok I had this problem to, I looked online for help and I found none, so this is what I did. I went to my settings then apps, then all apps and when down to HTC sense input. I disabled the HTC sense input, then I cleared the memory. I turned it back on after that and it worked! Try it out and let me know how it turns out
Facebook is the culprit, but may not be the only one

This worked for me, although it probably destroyed my personal dictionary as well. I'm still curious to know why it stored this specific data (that several people seem to share--I had the "auticirrect" problem as well) but seemingly only for facebook. Either it's a problem specifically with facebook, or facebook was using a different set of algos and files to autocorrect text input within the HTC keyboard's history. My suspicion is that this could happen with other apps as well if it could happen with Facebook, but I haven't run into any.
I don't know enough about the Android FS and what lengths apps are allowed to go to on unrooted devices, but I'd be interested to hear input from anyone that does.
I noticed when this happens to me , the language got changed. Just remove all languages except for English and you'll be fine.
It's mainly profanity that I have to make this damn thing learn.

Thank you! I got my One last week and this problem has been a PITA. Multiple google searches turned up nothing on it too. Don't know why I didn't think to check xda to begin with.
Same problem
I've had the exact same issue. cant for the life of me figure out the cause but interesting realization
The letters it replaces are the ones to the Left of the button, and only on the right side of the qwerty keyboard
For example, UIOP seems to replace letters with U < I < O < P. Im also getting J < K < L and B < N < M :/
Will try the fix suggested now but this is such a strange behavioral glitch...
Happening with my HTC one too. Sense my ass lol it's making no sense. I think what causes it is the stupid menu bar on the right which occupies exactly one key column worth of space. I don't use facebook so I don't know if that app has the soft menu bar on the right/bottom of the screen. The keyboard is offset visually but the autocorrect algorithm seems to assume the keyboard is laid out across the entire screen (ie even using the space occupied by the menu bar). Anyone care to check?
For what it's worth this problem should fix itself once we get the 4.2/4.3 update, when we can remap the menu bar to long pressing the home key.
I am getting this annoying screen flicker. The screen will dim as if it's going to sleep and then brighten again. This happens when typing, opening apps, and other times. I can deal with it but it is getting annoying.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so, any fixes for it?
I was having same problem. I think it might be a app causing it. My PayPal app I think did it to mine.
I have this aswell lol i thought it was just me “ it happens randomly with me on apps like twitch an youtube “ my screen dims then brightens twice in a row quickly “ i thought it was just reading the apps that i had moved to sd card so i put them back on device but it still dose it atleast twice a day “ weird?? must be a software bug as its not normal or called for surely “ its only recently started doing this so im all out of ideas maybe ill factory reset and use my phone for a day without installing anything to see if it still happens

Had the same thing, when opening camera the navigation bar would bleed through into the UI, appeared like a slow flicker, removed PayPal after researching and problem gone.

I've disabled Google smart card notices. I noticed mine doing it when the weather alerts from Google would pop up in my notifications list. I tapped the weather message and went to the Google page, then to settings and disabled notifications and the smart cards all together.
I have actually been to the point I was ready to take the brand new phone back to Verizon over this. But I didn't want a "re manufactured" or "second" after paying for this beast.
I'll see if this helps and report back.

That didn't work...
Going to try removing the PayPal app....
I think I've seen this issue here and there, and also where the screen will almost 'invert' colors... Not exactly, but things will look sort of greyscale-ish for a short while. I THINK it's when the device is in sunlight, so could this be an adaptive feature? It seems to be remedied by covering the light sensor
Same issue here....
It seems completely random - but it's always 2 large flickers - as if the screen is almost turning off, and then back on - twice...
Still the best phone ever - i'm sure this will get resolved.
I had this problem too ` i removed the paypal app 2weeks ago and it went away permanently
Have had the same issue on the Verizon and AT&T varient. Had PayPal app on both. I just removed the PayPal app so lets see if that works. Otherwise this phone is pretty nice.
Same here. ..
I've also noticed this issue sporadically, though I haven't been able to tie it to any one task. Seems more like a an OS/application programming issue with the core system. It's kind of annoying; hopefully it'll be pathedone in an update, though i'my not sure if LG is aware of the issue or not...

Having issue on an LG stylo 2. Usually occurs in Messaging app, but 5 minutes ago occured while in dolphin browser. No paypal app on phone, all apps have background data restricted unless on wifi (All Apps), and it only started today. Phone is current for all updates.
Hi All
First of all, i´ve searched about this issue but i didn´t find anything. English is not my first language, so maybe i didn´t search with the appropriated keywords too. Sorry if there is information about this already.
My issue is that after installing one app in my device, the screen flipped horizontally, all the screen! status bar, home button, etc...
I don´t know if installing the app is the cause or just a coincidence.
My device is a car radio, rk3188, and the app i installed is from play store is torque. I can´t indicate the link due to forum limitations, i´m new user.
Not only the rom is flipped, also the recovery menu appears wrong, the initial screen, the booting logo, everything!
Is there any option to fix it? how can be possible to flip the recovery too??
I switched it on previously and for a few minutes all went right, left at left and right at right, but after these minutes it happened again.
As a possible cause of this could be that a rear camera can be attached to this device and there is an option to mirror rear view. I´m afraid something could be wrong with this feature and x-mirroring is always activated, could it be possible?
I´d like to know the cause, but as a work around it would be useful some application that flip screen horizontally to counter this issue. Do you know any app? i´ve searched in google play without success.
Thanks in advance. I´ve read a lot in XDA but this is the first time i need to write requesting help...
