Hi Guys,
This issue has been really p*****g me off over the last two days... so, would reapply appreciate any help on this...
Yesterday or day before, I was just scrolling through the menus of the phone and decided to do a horizontal calibration (i've never done this since the getting the phone about two months back).
Settings > Display > Horizontal Calibration
And ever since I did the calibration, the screen has been really screwing up with me. Basically, what happens is that, a certain area of the screen gets automatically clicked!! This happens to a specific area of the screen. For example, when I get to the home screen from the app drawer, the widget that I normally have in this area gets clicked on for no apparent reason, and then I have to hit the back key to get back to the home screen. This happens about 5 times and then seems to go away for a while. However, it happens all over again when I use the phone after a little while.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the attached screen capture of my home screen, I have highlighted the area of the screen where this happens in red. This happens not only from the home screen, but from within any open app as well.... For example, when I view the "my apps" section in the Android Market app, the app that happens to be listed in the above area get automatically selected!!!
I have re-calibrated the screen, re-started the phone and the only thing I've left to do is a hard reset. I'm not too keen on doing this as I don't fancy having to re-install 70+ apps all over again!!
Have any of you guys encountered anything like this ?
Would really really appreciate any help on this as this is really flipping me over!!
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
anyone......?
cmon, am I da first one on XDA to experience this issue?

[Q] Auto Clicking - Sorted
ah! no replied at all!!!
neways, finally got this sorted by having the screen replaced!! luckily the phone is still under warranty... otherwise it would hav cost me around 250$ to get it done apparently (according to the service center guy who did it)!!
tried hard resetting, data+cache wipe and even flashed with a different ROM (darky's).... but nothing worked.... so, finally took it to the service center... luckily those people didn't notice that the phone has been rooted and all that plus, got a gud rappo with one of the technicians over there, so got it back the next day as well....
cheers.....

Hey everyone, im having problems with my touchscreen, seems like its out of sync or could be broken, its like when im typing something on keyboard sometimes menu window pops up out of nowhere or if i press lets say on QWERTY keyboard letter "a" on text input box letter "z" appears :s ... even if i slide between homescreens sometimes my menu does pop up, i delivered my phone to waranty service they gave the phone back after 3days and all they did was reinstalled 2.1 i dont know what to do now :s im planning to send the device to waranty once again :/ or maybe i could repair this by myself somehow ? Couse warranty service guys did not find anything wrong with my device
Note: Reinstalling software, changing versions from 2.3 to 2.1 and calibrating screen dosnt help
Here's few screens of touch screen pointers:
RED - Where i actually slide
YELLOW - Where touch points leak

Sounds very much like your touchscreen is broken. Do a recovery backup, restore or install via KDZ an original rom, and take the phone to a service center, if it's under warranty. If not, maybe you can skip the backup part. Good luck.
had the same problem with my phone... it started very subtle but then got worse.. to the point where i couldn't unlock my phone anymore =( send it to warranty, they switched the touchscreen. just got it back today, working fine now. send it back and tell them your touchscreen is broken...
Thanks for response, unfortunetely thats exactly what i did, but they prolly couldnt find the problem, couse it starts only when u use phone a little, screen gets warmer, when its cold, no problem at all
One of first to preorder first patch, and got my nexus 8g since last Monday. Never had and problems with it until an hour ago. Screen suddenly have dual layer overlay my entire screen. Anyone had this problem? Already try the safe mode, the problem still exist. See below screen shot. I would really hate to going through RMA with Google, hear it was pain in the ass

Okay, viewing my own attachment picture from my computer right now and it looks nothing wrong :crying:. So this is screen problem, not the display, so screen capture is useless...
Try taking a picture of the screen with a camera.
Are you meaning like an image retention issue (where previous screens are still "showing through" what's currently being displayed?
(For example, you'd see a faint image of your homescreen when in the Settings panel)
Sorry for the late reply, been too worried about not able to get my RMA...

I did try to take some pictures with my phone camera, but the screen had too much reflection that it's hard to tell from the pictures.
However, I did found Androidpolice had a good report on it with same issue and they were having hard time taking the pictures too

Yes, I believe is the retention issue and worse. My screen got worse each day before RMA came. Screen is pretty much in a VERY BRIGHT LIGHT ( I wouldn't even call it color white because it's really just shinny light) stage before I even unlock the screen. All the light seems to begin to go away after about 10-15 mins of screen use time, then the display will only showing some few "ghost" problem between screen to screen. Maybe this something to do with IPS been too cold? Need a warm start like my old car? lol..j/k
I did made a video of it on that first night it happen, hopefully it will provide some kind of idea how it looks like.

So I called Google on 7/29 for RMA, and got my replacement on 8/2. So far crossing my finger on the second Nexus 7 from Google.....Thanks.
Hi,
when i start my HTC One or update the information on blinkfeed its updating and freezing completely. I cant shut it down holding power button, only when i go via recovery. After factory reset its working again. I run o2 germany v1.27 and installed only some playstore apps. My music, videos, gif pictures and some backups were on the phone.
deactivated apps: 7digital, google maps and streetview, fb, twitter, best deals, chrome, ea games flat (deinstalled); play book, videos, music, google+, children mode, talk,
This is all i see when its starting/freezing:

Thx in advance
I give up. This phone wont start after adding some multimedia files. Maybe my o2 shop can give me a another one.:crying:
Maybe factory reset? That is very weird mine doesn't do that.

I tried this already 3 times and now i dont touch anymore until i take it to the shop. I think also im only one, who got this problem.
Hello,
I've received a brand new phone ( Swisscom Switzerland) today, first time starting, after 1 minutes it starts to freeze without any parameters.
I needed to hold power and volume down to restart.
I think my problem is very similar to yours...
I Tried to make a full charge, factory reset, remove sim card, but still freeze after a few minutes.
Any advice ?
I'll bring back to the shop monday, very disapointed...

Hi, on androidhilfe I asked too, but no one except me had this.
Best way is to give it to the repair.
Beginning this morning I started receiving full screen pop up ads every 60 seconds. Its been continuous for the last 6 hours. They pop up regardless of any ap I may be using at the time. A few ad examples are attached. My Note 8 is Model SM-950U1, version 4.4.78

I was having similar issue some days back. Please go to settings>Apps and check if there is any application installed at the end of list with no name. Uninstall that one and see if that fixes your problem.
An app u recently installed.. Or visited.. It happened to me.. I l
Cleaned uo history in browser and went through apps
Solved
In my case it was a Call Recorder that I downloaded yesterday. I didn't like it so I uninstalled it about an hour later. However, it seems to have left one program behind, called Phone Services. I uninstalled it today and at the beginning of the uninstall, I got an error message that warned phone services was needed by call recorder. All was well after I uninstalled phone services. Thanks for all the inputs. I appreciate them.
Good you could find the culprit

I have helped people with this before and had a few of these on my note. First, diagnostics.
1. Hold down your power button to bring up your power menu.
2. Hold down on the Power Off icon and it will prompt you to restart your phone in safe mode. Do so and see if the problem goes away.
3-A. If it persists, then you may need to go to your samsung internet browser and clear out all website data.
3-B if the problem stops. Then its a 3rd party app and I would need more information to help you track it down. PM me with your results or questions.
Resolved

Hello Shadow Assassin, Please see my post #5 describing what I found. I sure do thank you for the steps you outlined above and will file them away. Good stuff.
I've just taken delivery of a Note 9, and I can't find anyway of configuring the phone so that once the "screen saver" screen has gone dark, one can be aware of a delivered message (if you didn't hear it) without constantly keep "liveing" the phone up with the power button to check.
All my previous Samsung and HTC phones had a little discrete flashing light, which made one aware of any awaiting incoming messages, without having to physicaly constantly check the phone every few minutes, "just in case'!
I hopeing that there is a way to incorporate a feature like this, or it goes straight in the bin?!
You can rule out in battery savings or go the app and set up what you need.my message just pup up.you can even set it as a hidden message ,just a notification

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I forgot to say that you're dealing with an idiot here!!
I've gone all through the settings menu and turned off anything that relates to saving power, in any shape or form, but still no joy.
As for creating an application to reconfigure the phone, I'll afraid that that is way beyond me, unless you can actually list me a "stage by stage" set of instructions to preform it?
I am quite willing to give you/someone a small fee to do this on my behalf, as it will save me throwing it away. Ta

Did someone just send me something, if so, could it be sent again, as I went to open it, and it dropped out of sight, never to be found again!
This is I think all steps to get the message on the front screen.Message on locked display light up screen.
