Hey guys i thought i would share a simple fix for the touchscreen problems that people are having. I used to have some problems with my touchscreen on stock, basically sometimes the right side of my touchscreen would be difficult and unresponsive. Im not sure what happened, it seems that after i flashed the Codenamesammy ROM it started to have these problems. I though my first tablet was just faulty so i returned and recieved a new one. I flashed the same rom on it then went back to stock and was having similar problems. I thought to myself that it was a software problem, so here is how i solved it.
Fix
Unlock and root your tablet if have not yet. Flash This using TWRP or CWM.
How it works - Im not entirely sure why this worked even though i was in stock and it had stock drivers. Anyways it replaces the current drivers with the one in the build it has posted.
Credits - I give complete credit to the one who extracted these drivers and posted them.
Thought i might help some of you out with your problems before deciding to RMA it. If this does not work for you then it might be the actual hardware.
Is it still working?
Has anyone tried this fix and can confirm if it has worked for them?

Looks like a grounding problem to me, don't think that can be fixed in software.
Thats deff a screen issue hardware related.
For me, this problem is solved : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArlV8jTdkRM

People shouldn't really have to repair their nexus tablets on their own and run the risk of voiding the warranty. You should all have it under warranty.
For me I would keep returning it until I receive one that no longer has any defects, even if it means returning 10 of em. This way Google would see a high amount of returns and hopefully do something about it.

I don't have the issue, but I'm on franco.Kernel + Team EOS Stable ROM + JRO03R Binaries. I thought I noticed the issue on stock though, but I could be wrong.
I have same this issue especially when the device is heated .. the touch unresponsive in the center..
But I return my N7 to the warranty before i see this topic..
Thank you

I was having dead spot issues. The screen not reading my touch, but now after update i could have sworn i saw a horizontal line flash across the screen. Never seen it before I've only noticed it once though.

This unfortunately didn't resolve my issues, as can be seen here. Is there any other attempted fixes for this issue? If I reboot my device it seems to work dine for a while, but after several hours of being on, it experiences these problems.

Yes, I have. Those videos I took where after I had flashed the new drivers.
Still getting touchscreen issues after flashing over cm10. In fact it may now be worse. Now I get ghost taps and swipes, apps have a mind of their own. Fortunately turning the screen off and back on seems to clear it up though.

All my vibrations aren't as strong I guess you could say. And the haptic on the 4 bottom buttons don't vibrate at all when I press them, but what's weird is it makes a slight click noise like its trying to vibrate. Whhat should I do? I updated my cm6 nightly and it didn't change. I'm about to try a different rom. Is this something HTC would fix?

If it's hardware, they'll fix it assuming that it wasn't a software issue that caused the hardware. When I sent my unlocked/rooted device in for rebooting issues, they repaired it free of charge.

Same here. I will be sitting there, and all of a sudden, the LG logo shows up and reboots. I went over to the LG forum and stated it there. May not be a bad idea for others to do the same thing so that they realize it is a widespread problem.

Mine has had one random reboot, but that's it.
Out of curiosity, is everyone using the stock battery? Or do you use an aftermarket one?
I use both, but it seems to do it with both.
Has any one linked the software version to the problem? Either 10A or 10E?

I'm on 10E
It also seems to be an issue on the Optimus 3D and was on the G2X
I am on my second Thrill (that just sounds funny to me) and I have not had the reboot issue with either of them. The first phone had serious GPS issues and was running V10e. The second device has worked perfectly so far, even GPS, and is curiously on V10d. I tried the LG software, and the on device, update and it states I am currently up to date.
I was not aware there even was a V10d version. The full version number is LGP925-V10d-JUL-20-2011.
I don't know if there is any relation to the software version and random reboots. My original V10e device did not experience this issue. I am thinking it must be a combination of software and settings, or truly defective devices. It is entirely possible that it could be related to software syncing (i.e. email, contacts, etc.) or wireless AP causing some sort of memory leak.
Has anyone noticed any heat issues when their device is rebooting?
i have Thrill "not for sale" , not reboot
has anyone ever come up with a solution to fix this problem with the random reboots. I have yet to flash any of the custom roms. due to the fact that i dont know if that will fix this issue. Any info would b greatly appreciated because i really enjoy this device.

I've had it happen to me once in the past couple of weeks with the stock GB rom. Hopefully it is on Samsung's bugfix list. BTW, does Samsung have a public url to report bugs?

It could be possible that its just a software glitch, have you taken it to the service center and asked them to update the software? I've read reports about those before with the Galaxy S2, some had it fixed with a software update while others got a replacement.
No I haven't because I would have to send it to them and then I would be without a phone. I hope when ics comes out it fixes the issue. If not I'll give them a call.

Mine was doing that, I couldn't move icons at all until I did a factory reset. Now it is a lot better but still a little flaky when moving icons. I think it is a software problem, maybe be improved with an update.

I'd need to look at the video again to see if it caught I'm talking about. But, I would hold my finger down and the touch indicator under my finger would flash as if I was tapping the screen.
That's not good then.

it kinda reminds me of the multi-touch issue the Gnex had at launch. Or maybe even the grounding issue the EVO 4G had.

Having the same issue. Unrooted, returned to stock. I'm convinced it's a heat issue - it is fine when cold, and then goes wonky after a bit of use. Decided to return rather than exchange it - wait on my pre-order from J&R that is like a month out. Should be worked out by then.
Here's my video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZPDzKhQzSU&feature=g-upl
A touchscreen device where the touchscreen doesn't... recognize... touches... kinda sucks. :-(.
Google Guy said there were a lot of problems with the pre-orders, not for retailers, FYI. He was quite honest, refreshingly so, so I won't reveal his name . If it's any indication, it took me about 45 minutes on hold to get through just now!

My girlfriends has this issue, but I fail to see how it can be a hardware issue since it seems to stop upon reboot at least (yet to try it just sleeping and waking it).
Will keep an eye on it and worst case RMA after a few days when their support is a bit quieter.

Reboots aren't stressing the hardware too much, at least not the GPU. If the GPU is overheating and heating up the digitizer or something else, it can be cool enough to work when the reboot is complete. Just a theory...

Turns out putting it to sleep and waking it also fixes it. Really not sure now if it's hardware.
I did not have this issue start until yesterday and have been using my I/O Nexus since the event.. I feel like its something to do with flashing Roms that somehow changes the way the digitizer responds to touch.. Maybe a calibration issue of some sort.. Just an idea.

Hey all,
I recently (2 months ago) got a brand new HTC One. It's been great so far, love it.
Only issue I have is last week it started going to Speakerphone mode when making calls and receiving them. All I have to do is turn off the speakerphone to get it back to earpiece but it's slightly annoying.
I've tried resetting the device to no avail.
I'm running on the Rogers network in Canada running Kit Kat.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

The weird thing is that i have been on 4.4.2 for a while now via ViperOne and this issue has just recently popped up (or so it seems to me). So not sure if this is related to sense based rom running 4.4.2. or something different.
Well I do feel slightly better that I'm not the only one. But also wished I wasn't part of this so special group. Ha!
After a little googling people seem to think it might have something wrong with the docking mechanism.

Mentioning the dock makes me wonder if those who've looked thru the call settings have looked thru the dock settings to see if there is an option there to open with speaker phone on? Or in the headphone or bluetooth settings. My feeling for looking in these places is that if for some reason the device thinks it's connected to one of these devices that could be changing it's behavior? Anyway, I don't think I'm having this issue but I rarely get calls and usually when I do I use speaker phone, but I'm also pretty sure that I'm having to turn it on also.

So i guess this is a general sense 4.4.2 issue then and not custom rom, kernel, other specific. Strange that it seems to only start after a random amount of time as i deffinately did not have this issue for quite some time after upgrading to 4.4.2 based rom.
