Hey gang, here is the dealio, back in August I bought a Chinese S5 clone called Kingelon G9000 i9600 S5 Android Smart Phone (5.2'' FHD Screen MTK6592 Octa Core 2GB RAM 16GB ROM Dual Camera 13MP) that up till now hasn't given my any problems at all. However, the last few weeks the touch screen has started to give me a lot of problems. When I try and trace the unlock pattern, the phone just doesn't respond at all. It varies from a low of two tries to up to twenty or more. The screen is just "dead" as it were, I trace and it doesn't react at all to my finger! It's really starting to get annoying because it's starting to cause me to miss calls because I simply can't unlock the screen when I need to. It's not always, but getting is certainly happening enough to be a real problem now. I did a factory reset and hard reset, but neither helped. I also tried to use a pin instead of a pattern to see if tapping would help instead of swyping, but the screen still stays unresponsive. The strange thing is that once I unlock the phone the screen works perfectly normal the whole time I am using it. It's only when I turn the screen off and then back on does it get unresponsive. I've tried using no security pattern or password at all, and it still stays unresponsive when the screen is turned off and then back on. In theory it has a year guarantee, but I'm not thrilled about trying to send it back to China to have it repaired. under warranty. Any help would really be appreciated as it is really starting to become a problem with missing calls. Vin.
