I haven't found any other mention of this problem, so apologies in advance if this is already documented and I missed it. I thought I would see if anyone else is having this problem?
The issue is that the top of the touch screen stops working intermittently, preventing the notification bar from being pulled down. It's not just a notification bar problem, as buttons in that area don't work (Spotify in landscape mode, shuffle button for example).
The problem does go away after a forced reboot (up volume and power) but will eventually stop working again.
I've not noticed any pattern as to apps in use causing this.
Any ideas?
My phone is stock UK on Vodafone
version 4.2.2 (2.24.161.1)
Bump - same issue.
Mine works intermittently - some parts of the top of the screen some of the time...
Anyone else?

So the only tweaks I have installed on my phone are the Voodoo Lagfix + Colour.
I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Essentially the phone will turn itself off (I think, it refuses to wake so I have to hold the power button until it reboots)
It happens if I have it in my pocket, have it on my desk, pretty much anywhere at random. It occasionally freezes on the main text messaging screen.
Just wondering if anyone knew why this was happening/ how to fix it.
EDIT - Disregard all this, just read through the entire comatose thread.
Hi there,
did anyone else have this problem? Occasionally, my screen would not react to my touch input. That is either the status bar stopping in the middle of the screen whilst collapsing, a character on the touch keyboard appears pressed and activated, even though I don't type anything (Can't continue writing when this happens) or the widgets screen on the home screen appears and re-appears and I can't change the homescreens since they are stuck in-between.
This is my second Z (Switched from a black to a white one) and so far, everything's been fine. It doesn't have any custom stuff on it except root. But the problem also occured prior to rooting.
Does anyone have a fix for this? My workarounds so far: Switching it off by POWER+VOLUP or leaving it in standby for a couple of minutes.
Might this be a hardware problem?
Thanks you very much in advance!

you can try to reflash a stock ftf via flashtool, doing a full wipe maybe will resolve this issue!

I've ran into what has been a lingering issue with Lollipop ROMs I've used. Randomly I would be shown a black screen. I can click on the navigation buttons and they'll highlight but nothing happens. I can swipe down from the status bar but whatever I click, nothing happens. If a call rings through, the black screen will show the contact ringing in, but I can't interact with anything. I've also experienced this on lollipop ROMs for my OnePlus One as well. Same exact issue.
I've done a Google search and some people mentioned maybe having Smart Lock settings enabled, Tasker installed or Light flow installed could be causes, but even after uninstalling and turning those settings off will not fix the issue.
Has anyone else ran into this?
My A button not responsive at all, and also the top left of my screen , like when i try to hit back inside facebook for example , not working at all .
I'm having the 2nd part of what you describe. Same area menu button on Google Play store is. Seems to start/stop happening as it wants, when it wants.
I have an S6 (not edge) and am having a similar issue where the bottom rows of the keyboard do not register everytime and also pulling down the notification shade takes a few tries sometimes. Don't know if it is something to do with the cold weather or a software/hardware issue. I am thinking of sending the phone back to Samsung for warranty repair.
Mine is working without a problem. Is the keyboard problem persisting across other apps?
My Z3C started having a problem about 2 weeks ago.
It seems the drop down notification is being too sensitive or activating when it shouldnt.
Eg - on the home screen it seems ok
However, if you start a SMS or keyboard app or navigate Facebook, the nav bar keeps dropping (and obviously interfering with the screen)
Since then I have reset to stock and eliminated any applications.
What could possibly be happening and how to fix or turn off nav bar?

I have had the same issue today and I have tried everything possible to fix it. You know your desperate when you search the tenth page on Google for help like I did... I didn't find ****. I then decided to turn of my phone completely instead of pressing the restart option and it fixed my problem! I cant guaranty it will work for you but its worth a shot if you haven't tried already.
Check if the glove mode option is turned off in your settings, Glove-Mode makes the screen more sensitive so it might be causing your problem!
I've had this same issue. A couple of weeks later the top side of the screen stopped functioning completely. The touch screen was broken. I got it fixed for free under warranty, Sony did a great job, within 2 weeks!
Test touchscreen
Faced same problem. Found out that it was touchscreen issue and got it replaced under warranty.
Run Touchscreen service test from the service menu and check that the top part of touchscreen is detecting touch or not, in my case top left corner was not working.
