let me cut straight to the point. I use a Nexus One stock 2.2 ROM.
For some reason, my screen dimension changed.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11834745/screendimensionerror.jpg
This link shows the app GPS Status and it used to be full screen but for some reasons (maybe I did something but i dont know what happened exactly) now it occupies only half of the screen. I tried to uninstal and reinstall and it still remains the same. I tried to rotate screen and move back and still the same.
Actually a couple of games it shows the same problem such as the objects in the screen got smaller as if it is not 800 x 480 anymore.
It seems like the dimension of the screen changed or something.
Can anyone please help me if you know how can I fix it? Please.
Or else I will have to spend hours to do a hard reset and rework everything.
Did you make any modifications to build.prop file?

across a few forums, you are the only one who tried to help.
thanks.
problem has been solved.
GPS status developer went right through the problem and diagnosed that I played around with "Spare parts" 's compatibility mode.
Now everything is fine.
thanks a lot again.
Damn, sorry, I forgot about this option. I knew it affects widgets, but I didn't know it affected programs as well.
Glad you had it solved.

Yes I did a search and I found a bunch of post about people wanting their phone to wake up............
Mine wakes up for no reason all the time and this of course drains the battery real fast. is there any way to stop this. I messed around with some of the roaming options but not knowing what I am doing solved nothing. Please dont yell at me if I missed the obvious post on how to fix this just point me in the right direction ;P
Device 'Wake up'...
Hi there... have you installed some third-party software which may be causing this? There is always a reason for your device to wake up... they don't wake up for no reason at all, as you put it! Maybe you have installed some device locking software / system backup / alarm or reminder function??

Are you using Klaxon or Throttlelock?
I have the exact same problem, and found that either of these two cause the problem.
Actually I have this problem too, installed nothing 3rd party but the device just wakes up as if something happened
no third party software, I have installed, or replaced image files (IE no cab files just the png files) to make the bottom icons look different.
I believe the issue has something to do with dropping evdo and picking it back up but I changed a few settings that should have stopped that, so I think, and no effect.
Hey,
I have an HTC One black - stock os - UK unlocked version - after 4.2.2 update.
I've got a strange problem regarding the top of the touchscreen. when the phone is horizontal, the top bit (between the top bar to the first widget) is not working. the rest of the screen working fine. when I pick the device up, the screen is working fine 70% of the time. as a result, I cant open the notification bar and it thinks that I'm clicking or re-arranging my widgets.
It's weird because IT DOES work 60% of the time.
1. did any of you experienced any of this before?
2. What do you think it is? software or I have to replace the digitizer?
3. Is it just calibration problem? I tried to calibrate the device using the keyboard screen calibration and it didn't do anything.
Thanks!
Eran.

Bump for more responses

I just started experiencing this same problem today as well. I was on a Google Edition 4.3 Rom for about 2 days, Viper 3.2 I believe and everything was initially working as it should. Suddenly I began experiencing the non responsive status bar. I cleared data & cache, fixed permissions, and even tried a factory reset with no luck. I then reinstalled the Rom and the problem persisted. I then downloaded and installed black jelly Rom along with a complete wipe of the entire storage after transferring important data to my PC, but the status bar was still unresponsive and it appeared the top 1/4 inch of display had a digitizer issue. I tried to restore an older backup of Venom Rom running Sense and I still had no luck, until I went into the browser so that I could rotate into landscape to see if I could access it from this orientation (don't know why that didn't cross my mind sooner?) After I pulled the notification shade in landscape I left it down and rotated back into portrait mode and drew the shade back up slowly, following through with the gesture all the way to the top of the display. Then the functionality from portrait was restored! I believe this is a software bug of some sort, but I'm contemplating returning it to stock and relocking the bootloader to return it. I'm actually using the Tmobile variant and it's only about 30 days old. My insurance will cover a replacement for a faulty unit, but who knows if will happen with another? After a Google search I discovered this was an issue that surfaced with quite a few One X's as well, so I'm thinking it may be a bug that's consistent with some HTC hardware of a different variants? Any updates or insight would be appreciated.
Hey all, i recently flashed the factory image for 5.0.1 and all of a audden auto rotate stopped working. It did fall put of my picket from about 3 feet onto the ground. Nothing externally was harmed . however, i cant remember if i had issues wuth rotating the screen after flashing the factory image and before i dropped it... Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this from either a physical drop or from a bad factory image flash. Thanks...

I am having similar issues, however, my device was not dropped nor was it flashed. The last thing I remember doing was turning the phone to landscape to watch a youtube video, then when exiting the video to select a new one it would not rotate back. I didnt think anything of it at first, but then when I couldnt rotate videos to full screen I became suspicious that there was something wrong. Checked other apps to see if they would rotate, no dice. I have checked the sensors with "Check My Android" and they are all working fine, however, the calibration is way out. I have also rest to factory settings, and the issue persists.

Is the auto-rotate icon enabled, or greyed out on the quick settings pulldown ?

Yep, it is there, I can toggle between on and off, I can also select it in the accessibility menu too.

I had a conversation, with Motorola support and they seem to think the only option is repair/replace. I will be speaking to a memeber of the aftercare sales team tomorrow, ill update tomorrow.
Hey I'm having a similar issue, I bought my nexus 6 in mexico no more than a month.. Today it slipped from my pants and felt screen down.. Had a few scratches but nothing to bad.. Well I haven't noticed that after the fall my auto rotate is not working.. Camera, videos, photos etc. Nothing auto rotates, the only thing I can see in landscape is YouTube because of the option to see it on landscape.. I don't know what to do, I have re booted the phone 3 times and nothing.. I'm thinking in installing the firmware or something like that but I need some help with it.. I don't know if someone can help me this???
Having both issues.. No auto-rotate and I've lost all cellular connectivity. Wifi works fine though. The heck is going on?
Has anyone else found a resolution to this?
All of a sudden mine decided to stop rotating earlier today and even though I can toggle it in the quick settings, nothing changes. I've since rebooted a couple of times but no luck so far. I'm on 5.0.1 by the way, non rooted, straight out of the box.
Edit: I've downloaded "Accelerometer Monitor" and confirmed that the accelerometer is responsive in Y,Z axis but the X axis was flat lining. I gave it a gentle slap onto the palm of my hand and all of a sudden the X axis jumped to life. It's as if the axis was stuck or something. It's responding now, though I have still had a few strange issues, like apps going to landscape when the phone was being held in portrait.
I have this phone last month then return it for screen issue. I just wonder does the software update solve the screen sensitive issue? otherwise it is a great phone. I will buy it again
Nothing has been fixed as far as I can tell.
SGS Touchscreen Booster works. Install it, slide the top bar all the way to the left, and apply the change.

I really wish that worked for me, I've installed that app 4 different times at least and tried 4 different settings and it never makes a difference. I've noticed the biggest difference when I just forget about it, if I look for it then it drives me crazy. We have root,unlocked bootloader and recovery so now I wait for a real fix.
So, wondering if anyone else is having this. It definitely seems to be software related, I just can't for the life of me figure out what installed app did this, but hoping someone has the same issue and will chime in here. At random, the top left where the menu button is in Google Play store, for example, will act like it's not taking my touch input. The same goes for where the Edge app/contacts is. I know it to be software because if I rotate the screen in Google Play, the menu button still doesn't work and it's in a different spot while rotated obviously, so not physical from what I can see/determine. I did a factory reset only a few weeks ago, after the last update (as I usually do) and it was fine then (and right after).

Ive had similar issues on OE2 stock.. it seemed the whole top half of the screen wouldnt recognize input and this waseven after reboots and hard resets..
It wasnt til i went back to a fresh install of a custom rom where i got it back.
I havent been able to determine a culprit outside of the software in general.
Yeah, I was sure it was software because if I pull the notification bar down and slide my finger past the "dead" area on the screen, it works fine. Also, the "dead" are moves with whether you are in portrait or landscape mode. What sucks is, my Edge bar seems to not work most of the time. Wish they'd fix this, I'm very certain it's not hardware.
Update: Think I found a fix. It's been a whole day without issues. Believe it or not, change the theme you are using (I was using default, hope you were too?). I switched to the free material theme I found in the store (I like it), and have had 0 touch issues since.
*Edit, well I had 2 good days, but the issue came back. Not as frequent, it seems, but can't nail down why it happened. I did a factory reset after this update, too.
