Is anyone else having issues with the multitouch? i have noticed it while gaming i can press on two points of the screen at the same time, it seams to loose one of my fingers.
No problems here. Try Multitouch Visualizer 2 from the market. It might confirm your suspicions.
Thanks, i did try that and i get point one to show up but if i tap the screen and hold my second finger down i lost point one :-( i think i will have to bring the phone back.
just as a follow up i did a factory reset on my phone and things are running normal again, i am not sure what caused this issue but happy its resolved. Thank you for your help argolfermd

Did this fix the problem permanently for you? I returned my first vivid because of this exact problem. My second worked fine for a few days, so I rooted it, but then the problem returned. Flashing a new rom solved the problem for a little while, but now it's back again.
Rebooting the phone fixes it for a little while, but the multitouch issues always return.
Here is a video I made with multitouch visualizer just so its clear what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI0GKZL1cqY
I think it had to do with the launcher I was using but the go launcher has been updated and is no longer a issue so yeah it's permanently fixed.

Thanks. That's strange because I have had this problem on multiple vivids, launchers, and roms; it just keeps coming back. I guess it could possibly have something to do with an app I have installed, but I have no idea how to figure out which one other than uninstalling them one by one which would take ages and might not solve the problem.
Does no one else have this problem on their vivid? Its pretty frustrating as it makes a lot of games impossible.

What you could try is use titanium backup to back up your apps and data then uninstall apps and see if that fixes it. And if not you can always restore back. I am on wild child's 3.5 Rom with mods and this thing is so fast I don't see the need for launchers so I am using stock sense.

I actually flashed the latest version of Wild Child's 3.5 ROM last night, and as I added my apps back one at a time I found the culprit: the Unlock With WIFI Free app. The problem only occurs when Unlock with WIFI is running. After some googling I found someone complaining about a similar problem with the app on another forum.
I'm glad I figured this out. It was driving me crazy.
glad you sorted out the issue.

Apps that replace lock screen or mess with wake lock seem to cause multitouch issues. Widget locker was always the culprit for me.

I'm rooted (VZW) and use most of the Xposed modules. I woke up this morning and tried to use touchless controls. Didn't work so I did some investigating. Noticed it was turned off so I turned it on. Didn't work. Rebooted then noticed that reboots turned touchless control off. I tried Google now and while it worked, I didn't hear the usual sound that plays once it's acknowledged "Google". From there I noticed I had no sound whatsoever. Bluetooth was on. I turned it off, sound came back but not touchless controls.
Last night I remembered trying to install themed Google keyboards. While it worked, it took uninstalling the stock Google keyboard, installing the one from Google play, uninstalling Google play version, then installing the themed apk. I had since backed up all my apps, meaning I've written over the stock keyboard. Now I don't really think this would effect touchless controls, since I can't seem to fix them, I figured I'd factory reset and see what happened. Unfortunately, it doesn't work through settings. Just reboots my phone. Any ideas? I've yet to try it through a stock recovery or something similar. I've yet to find answers on how that works on this phone (actually haven't searched yet).

If you rooted using PwnMyMoto then it has overwritten the stock recovery. Basically it writes an Android system without write protection on the recovery partition when you root. You will have to flash stock recovery back and then a factory reset will work.

Excellent, thanks.
I've searched for a possible cause for the touchless controls issue but to no avail. Have you heard anyone having these issues?

Excuse me for butting in. I've been checking out some threads for the Moto X on both the Q&A and General boards for some time and your the first person that has written about such an issue as far as I've seen. Very strange. Hopefully that factory reset works in your favor.

Please, butt in! I'm hoping to avoid going to stock recovery. Which I'm assuming requires unrooting. I was also having sound issues. No sound until I went into settings and went through ring tones. None would work, no sound. Until I cleared settings from recents and then went back into it and tried again. Then it would work. I began deleting all root apps. It was a module within Xposed. Not sure which but now sound works as it should. I've since deleted all root apps but still haven't fixed touchless controls. It almost seems as if the microphone for touchless isn't working? Aren't there two microphones on this device?

So you've removed Xposed and all modules? Have you rebooted the system since removing them? If I were in your position, I would want to completely unroot and start fresh because if it's a problem with the microphone, it's covered under warranty and you need to get a replacement.
You can follow this tutorial to return to stock, just make sure you download the correct version for your phone. If you're familiar with adb and fastboot, it may be easier to just fastboot flash recovery and system and that should return you to 100% stock unrooted.

Yes, rebooted so much thought I was going to wear out the power button lol. I've switched to my G2 to prepare to go to stock on the X. Was just hoping to avoid going to the VZW store, I really hate dealing those people. Loathe it.
I'm familiar with adb. Just need a good internet connection. I have to use hotspot for internet where I live and while we have TWRP on the G2, no bypass on wireless tether. I thought about trying the method I used on the X but I'm not savvy enough to know if that'll break something. .bak isn't always a sure thing.
Did you have a link to the stock file? I can search it but it looked like in your post you had it.
Edit: all these new phones forgot about the S4. There's my hotspot.
Thanks for help bro

Never did.. Only thing I didn't return to stock was the keyboard. Still used the Google keyboard, but not the built in Google keyboard. Have no idea if that's what it was but it's the only thing I couldn't get back to stock.

so, my front soft keys somehow disappeared, and I cant get them back; in the settings menu, there is no longer an option for them, and I have no clue how they went away...
any suggestions?
I uninstalled xposed framework, and gravity box, in case that was the issue,and have rebooted many times, but still not there..
thanks!
Not sure if you can or if it would help but did you try another launcher? Maybe a reset but not sure if that would even work.

-tried a different launcher, and it didnt work

-rooting had nothing to do with it, as I rooted a week ago, and everything was fine until last night
thanks so much!
This is one of the reasons I've been leaving my Flex stock til we get a recovery. I know with the G2, zips were made to shrink the keys. Not sure if you could even get them back if you had a zip like that. Maybe you can search G2 threads and find a way. Sorry I can't help ya.
yeah, I even did a factory reset just now, and they are still not there; even in the settings menu, the "front screen buttons" entry is gone..
I guess I'll take it back to T-mobile today and tell them I want it replaced..its only 11 days since I got it, so it shouldnt matter..
I cant imagine rooting had anything to do with it, since I rooted a week ago, and its worked perfectly until it just went out last night

Before you do that you should try restoring with wolfgart's thread downloads. If you're going to be changing stuff, its good to know how to fix a brick.

good advice; but frankly, after only 11 days, I dont even want to mess around with that.

Can you pull your build.prop via adb and enable the software keys like that and push it back?

i thought about doing that, actually, but it was alot easier to just return it and get a new one today.
If it happens again, which it better not, I will try that.
I think Gravity Box was the culprit, after reading through the 500+ pages of that thread; it seems to play havoc at times with soft keys, so users beware..
That was one of the reasons why i was debating on getting this phone. Nothing beats a physical button.(that works...)

Yes, that is a good possible solution but also one I try to put off. Re installing and re configuring is an ordeal. I also cannot recount the number of times I went that route and the problem persisted. That's why I post here first. That said, it might be the only option left now. Thanks.
I hear ya. It's a pain to do that for sure. Definitely a strange problem however... let us know if you find a solution other than factory reset.

Just did a quick check and after some weeks of consistent problem it looks like it may be gone. Strange. Maybe an update to some app that runs resident like Lastpass or something.
Hello everyone,
I have been having this problem for a few weeks now, and it has gotten to the point where I think something is SERIOUSLY wrong with my phone.
I have a 512gb UNLOCKED N960U1. Never rooted. I'm a little OCD with my app arrangement so i have every app on my phone in folders so i dont have to get a finger hernia scrolling through everything.
My problem is that I use low-power mode often. I also like to turn in on while driving, and charge my phone in the car that way. Lately when coming OUT of low-power mode, I've found that my apps have DUPLICATED. Every. Single. One. Doesn't matter if the phone is charging, or not. They duplicate, BOTH APPS OPEN, and I have to uninstall the second ones with no data loss to the original(?) one.
I also like to change my themes weekly. Thats what originally started the problems. Recently, after switching a theme out again, I found that the phone had emptied out my folders into a giant CF in my app drawer. Thinking "at least its not old school Samsung LAG", I just put them BACK. No biggie.
NO GO. I did that THREE SEPARATE TIMES. I have 425+ apps on my phone. Sometimes SOME of the apps will be removed from the folders, sometimes ALL of the apps.
The breaking point for me was when I took it off of low-power mode as I was leaving the car, and the apps spread back out, and SOME WEREN'T EVEN SHOWING. Furious, I knew I was going to use my tapatalk app to get onto XDA to ask for help or guidance. Tapatalk Pro is on my phone, but WAS NOT SHOWING IN THE APP DRAWER. So i searched for it instead. It came up in the SEARCH, but not alphabetically where it SHOULD be. Now when you find an app by searching, if the app comes up, you can long press it and it will give you the option to "locate" where the app is store on your phone (folder, which screen, etc.) When that was done, the phone froze briefly, and then did nothing.
Im at my wit's end on this issue. The most horrible part is that I can't find ANYONE who is having this issue other than me. Phone has not been dropped, no cracks, nothing.
What the hell is wrong with my phone??
This is the most horrific problem I've ever read on XDA is all my time here. Sorry that I don't have a solution to your problem, but just reading through your post is terrifying.

No third party launcher. I use the standard, built in theme options when I switch themes, and the themes are downloaded from the Samsung theme app/store/part.

Unfortunately thats exactly what I did. I started putting my apps in folders as everything was downloading. I also began to get rid of apps because I figured that definitely didn't help.
By the time the phone finished downloading all my backup'd apps, the two apps I deleted were BACK, and the apps came out of the folders I had just put in. Back to the same situation. :silly::crying:

Since what you're experiencing is most likely a software issue, you may want to factory reset and try not restoring any of your backed up apps, just manually install the basic ones and see how it behaves for a few hours.

This is a SOFTWARE issue...not a specific phone or app issue.
