Help Sometimes can't "press-red-button" to hang up...

[diafiro]

Hello again, everyone!

Does it ever happen to you that when you're done with your call, you can't push the red button to hang up??
Sometimes I have to press several times until it will finally hang up and finish the call.
Is this an actual anomaly??

Opinions??

Thanx!!

What may be happening is your skin is too dry or your touch not firm enough to get the screen to register. Another possibility is that something's running that's causing it to hang.

I do get the strange symptom of not being able to power off the screen sometimes. It seems something is lagging in the background and not allowing it to respond immediately.

Good point, but I've actually tried (quickly, as it happens) to wet my finger with my tongue or lubricate it with skin oil from my forehead (gross, no?)... and try to tap firmly, slowly, etc, but nothing. It still takes a few seconds to respond. This happens both when I'm in/outdoors.

YES! This also happens to me!!
I have no idea what may be causing this either...

There is some sort of background lag that affects all Galaxy S 2.1 phones. I have the same issue with not being able to power off the screen immediately on my Captivate as well. Also had it with my Vibrant.

On my Evo, on the other hand, it has zero lag issues and I can shut of screen anytime I want.

Maybe when we get 2.2 on the Epic these issues will go away... knock on wood.

Ya I had the same thing and I even took it to Sprint and they replaced it but the new one still does the same thing. But I too am getting use to it, Been a few times thought about throwing it at the wall but still haven't lol.

It's still there on the 2.2.1 DK28 leak. I just keep hitting it til it hangs up.
