My EPIC the touchscreen end button and swap buttons take forever to work, help please

[hotis300boy]

Man I know others have talked about....this is totally frustrating me I will have a call waiting n i have to end up turning the screen on n off like ten times before the end button or swap call waiting button can work, what the hell causes this n how can i fix it? is it hardware or software!?

pretty sure its software. because if its hardware then your screen would not work when your browsing through your phone.

i havent really noticed this problem though. try resetting your phone. sometimes people just leave their phone on for weeks and weeks and your phone just needs a good sleep for a night.

you could also be running too much stuff hogging up the cpu

I restart a few times a day, doesn't make a difference

Was your phone like this when you first got it? If not, try doing a factory reset to clear out anything that might be causing a problem.

I have gone through two and my cousin as well and both of our phones never did it in the beginning but after a few weeks of use started doing this

mine does it too, i just put my hand over the sensor and the screen turns off then take it away and the screen turns back on then the end button works

Mine does this occassionally also.....pretty aggravating! I usually end up trying to press it over and over and over trying to end, but it doesn't end until the connection is terminated from the other side. And as I travel by air quite a bit, there is plenty of down time and reboots.

I have the same problem. Someone suggested a reason for this. Normally when using the screen, you're using your fingers a lot.

However, when you talk on the phone, your hand is up to your head, and not being used, so it gets a bit colder (maybe drier too - and thus less conductive?). So any button you press while talking on a call, will take longer to respond.

No joke, as a good experiment, try breathing warm air on your thumb first (you know, like you're going to fog up a mirror), then hit the end button. Let me know if that fixes it.
