Unresponsive to touch?? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So today my n3 is getting laggy and the screen isn't responding to touch at times. Have restated a few times and tried clearing default launcher from Nova to tw. Doing it on both at times and tw even gave me a fc as well.
Any thoughts?
Is stock and just rooted with using xposed

If only that simple. It's been rooted for weeks(about as month) and with xposed. Today is the first instance of it. Seems turning power saving mode of seemed to help some but still occurring. Example is when playing subway surfer can't move the guy or anything. Went into task manager ram getting near 2gb and cleared that. But nothing really in active to justify why so much ramgetting used up.
Re read mine. When I said "just" I meant that is the only thing done to our. Haven't tried SS or rom yet

flashing to stock rom and reset binary

Just one more thought, is your phone in a case and does the case have a wide border? If the border touches the display it could register as a touch and confuse your device. if it is touching in too many places such as 5 then your touch would be ignored. This could be caused by temperature changes making the case expand and contract, it also could just be you handling the case and putting pressure in certain places while trying to use it. This is just a though though as I had a similar issue on another phone once.

Thanks. The case is the Samsung s-view I think. The one with the Window screen when you flip it close. Have had it on since owned a well.
I'm guessing the only other option would be to flag back to stock and then re rooting again?
So here is my odd question if do. Mine came stock with mi9 and I rooted with dlv then did the ota trick to mj5 and kept root. Would I need to find how to go back to mi9 or would I be able to Odin to a stock mj5? That's something I'm not 100% on atm

Problem with Notification Bar.

I recently ran into an odd problem. I updated my phone from 2.1 to 2.2 Froyo Test 4, then to RC1. I use overclocker app, launcher pro, and advance task killer mainly.
My problem is: When I use my phone, sometimes the screen will not allow me to touch icons, unlock it, ..etc. All it does it move the notification bar up and down like I am touching the top of the screen. If I keep trying to "turn screen off, back on, off, back on"...eventually, I will be able to use the phone for a couple of minutes before it happens again. I tried disabling/reducing overlock settings, uninstalling launcher pro, downgrading 2.2 to 2.1 (ICERoM 2.8). None of this helps.
Any ideas?
Note: Sorry if this was explained elsewhere. I tried searching my best.

Where do you live? I live in florida, and this happens to me when I'm outside for an extended period on a really humid day. Once I take it in to the ac for a few, it's all ok.

Louisiana. Doesn't seem like that would be it though. My wife has the same phone and has never experienced this problem (she has OEM 1.6 version). I am leaning towards software issue.

You posted this in the wrong forum
Anyway, it could be a hardware problem, but it sounds more like a software issue. Sometimes this happens to me when the phone slows down. Are you low on RAM when this happens?
Nope. Ram is ok. 70+ Mb. Seems like it all started when I upgraded to 2.2. At times, the phone is unusable. Right now, it has been working perfect for a couple of hours. I downgraded to 2.1 thinking that 2.2 was the problem, but 5 hours ago, I encountered the same problem with 2.1. So that can't be it. Screen protector maybe?

Yeah, could definitely be the screen protector is changing roms doesn't help. Could also be a bad touchscreen, but most likely screen protector.

New unbranded Moto X keeps freezing

I just switched carriers and phones coming from Verizon galaxy s4. I got this phone straight from Motorola 5 days ago. Right out of the box i let the update run. First thing I notice is how slow and unresponsive the phone feels then it starts doing weird glitchy stuff of which the worst is the screen randomly freezing.
I was really excited about this phone. Am I just expecting to much from a 300.00 phone after coming from a s4?

Not at all. The ones I have had run amazingly fluid. Your OTA may have a glitch. If a data wipe doesn't clean things up try re-flashing the firmware.

Wow I'm jealous, that makes me want to keep it. I did do a data wipe. I didn't think to just re flash everything I'm gonna look in general for a write up on how to do that.

Should not be any lag, are you using a proper nano sim card that was included with the phone?
No? The nano Sim Motorola sent with it was t mobile. I didn't think it would work so I went to att and got theres?

Moto X is very fluid and smooth. Factory reset and if that doesnt work exchange phone under the 14 days
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
You should return it and get a different one.
If you want flash factory firmware, read the "Return to Stock" section in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/ref-how-to-root-4-4-links-guides-t2603358
Just make sure you flash the correct firmware or you may brick the phone. If you have the XT1053, use the "T-Mobile US" firmware.
The Moto X run smoother than the S4 without all the bloats, it's overall a better experience imo.
Follow up - did factory reset, all the problems are gone except for the random freezing.
I want to clarify for anybody else having a similar problem. The phone is not locking up completely, what it is doing is suddenly refusing to recognize to any touch input and stays like this until the sleep timer kicks in. Then the screen fades out the phone goes into its normal Active Display mode and is back to normal. I can just unlock and continue. Alternately I can also lock the screen manually then unlock instead of waiting for sleep timer.
I can not reproduce the problem its still random. I am usually using chrome, youtube or tapatalk when it happens?
I tried changing sleep settings, turned active display and every other Motorola add-on off. And messed with the proximity sensor but i didn't make any difference.
Went ahead and got the RMA from Motorola. I thought about trying to manually re install the full rom, but I hesitate because im not sure if that could jeopardize my return?
*Update went ahead and flash full rom via adb phone seems alot more responsive has not froze yet, gonna keep testing.
** Update 12 hrs later NO PROBLEMS I think it is fixed!
Any update about random freezing?
I'm suffering that when i switch between apps or play games. I think it's because graphic rendering problem. I'm still trying to fix that.
Update:
After I uninstall 'GPS status', the phone will close apps sometime instead of freezing. A little improvement huh?

[Q] TW stopping working, unfortunately

Hello!
TW stops working several times a day, I've haven't managed to narrow down the apps that might crash it (unless everything I use on the phone crashes it). It sometimes crashes in the home screen, in Chrome, in YouTube. The two apps I use the most are WhatsApp and Facebook, and it has crashed when I'm using them, too.
I have the habit of pressing the home button to leave an app, and the phone always takes a little bit to reload all the icons. I know TW lags and stutters for many, this is not a complaint but an observation. I used phase beam as the wallpaper before, so I changed it to a solid black picture. That hasn't helped.
My phone is not rooted, though processes unused are stopped in App Manager.
Any assistance and suggestion would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Reset phone
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Hey guys,
I am facing the same issue, where TW crashes and I receive the message that TW has stopped working, however in my case it happens each time I reboot the phone. Once I OK the error message, TW reloads, and remains stable until I next reboot my baby, which I tend to do once a day, for good measure. This is not the end of the world, something I can live with, yet I do find it irritating that I cannot figure out what is causing this.
Anyone with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I am running stock at the moment.
Regards,
Raziel
I'd be tempted to odin to stock or flash firekat.
Raziel, I cleared TW cache and then wiped the cache partition earlier this afternoon. It seems TW hasn't crashed as often as it usually does, but it has crashed. It might remedy your problem, though, if you haven't tried this already. I'm avoiding resetting my phone.
If you rooted and tw goes crazy on you something went wrong. Delete everything you got. Turn of antivirus software. Download everything. Start by going back to stock then update then root then your good to go. If you start with a bad hicupp it will just keep getting worse.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
ChinWonder dude! Thanks a bunch for this suggestion... I cleared TW cache in Application Manager, then booted into Recovery and proceeded with wiping the cache partition. Honestly I feel like a bit of a noob right now LOL, I should have thought about this myself!! But hey thanks nevertheless, much obliged .
BACARDILIMON, as stated above by the OP, ChinWonder, as well as myself, in both cases the devices are not rooted. Thanks for the effort though . I'd like to add however that all of my previous and current Androids (S2, S3 and Nexus 7 2013) have been rooted, and in the last 2 cases, on day 1... hell I even made my own custom ROM for the S3 based on stock Bell 4.1.1 and stayed on it despite several available upgrades, I was getting such good performance and battery out of it, and FULL compatibility since I used a firmware base from my carrier, which is not the case for most custom ROMs found here, since none of them (or close to) are using Bell, but AT&T in most cases. From my experiences, I was always getting issues receiving voicemail notifications when using those. Long story short, I have been on the flashing bandwagon for a few years now, and tweaking the hell out of all my devices up to now, but this time, I feel this is the perfect (ok nothing is perfect) smartphone for me, as is, stock, and it performs like no other device I've had until now, and battery is just incredible!! getting regularly well over a day of charge, mostly average 36 hours, with 6 to 8 hours screen on time!!! WOW!!! seriously for the time being, I don't feel I want to root and flash and all that jazz, but instead I just want to enjoy this beast, the way Samsung thought of it, for a little while.
Again ChinWonder, thanks!

Please help - root issues

I consider myself an moderately experienced root and rom person. I've done the note 2 the note 3 and now the note 4. Both times that I rooted this phone within an hour or two I get the same issues. Apps in the AppStore hang at 89 percent. Current apps needing updating hang at 31%. A considerable lagginess with typing and opening and closing apps. So both times within a few hours I have odin back to stock and left my phone non rooted. I just don't understand why it keeps happening. Is it because I'm not doing a complete factory reset after a root and recovery? Maybe there are some data within my apps that is causing this? I really want to root this phone to make it better but this issue that keeps happening is really annoying. Does anyone have any insight? Please and thanks.
Hmmm well what rom are you flashing after root? Apps getting stuck could be network issue or play services trying to to update it self.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
No ROM. Stock. Two different WiFi and LTE same issues. I even did a davlic and cache clear Nada. Makes no sense
Ok then time to odin back to stock. What are you running. Which stock.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I am back on stock. Nk4.
It's the reason you should flash something after you root.
I use firekat as my base.
That'll work. But maybe what the op needs is one of those stock deodexed/odexed roms.
I use this one for people that are scared to flash:

Pixel 4 XL a stuttery mess?

I've been using the Pixel 4 XL for over a month now but lately there's a lot of scrolling lag. Especially on Google feed and Play Store. It doesn't matter if 90hz is forced on or off, it stutters and lags when scrolling and it's very unsightly especially when trying to show off against iPhone users who want to check out my phone. Other than that, performance is excellent.
I'm running 100% stock with the January update.
Anyone else facing the same issues and what could be done to alleviate or completely resolve it?
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
I know this is extra, but I factory reset my phone after every new update. I've done this for the past 10 years of owning smartphones and i've almost never encountered any sluggishness or lag.
If your issues still persist, RMA. When a factory is churning out hundreds of thousands or millions of a product and each product itself is made of hundreds of tiny electrical components, it could just be something defective. Sorry about your luck but I hope factory resetting fixes it!
Yeah I would do a reset because I have never owned a smoother phone.
I haven't done factory reset and it's been perfectly smooth here. I used to do it once a year but I didn't need to with my 2 XL and probably won't need to with the 4 XL too.

Besides a random restart that hasn't happened twice, this phone is ultra fast doing all the every day things. Have never experienced lag on social media, YouTube, emails, web pages or any of the things you've mentioned. Maybe a reset is in order and it the problem still persists, warranty repair cause something is definitely wrong.
Well I factory reset the phone and the stuttering is almost gone. I guess it's normal for the play store and Google feed to lag a bit as it renders images/videos?
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
I get a little lag in the play store when I'm scrolling the main page (with pics and videos), but not really anywhere else. So far, this phone, like the last two pixels I've owned has been very smooth. I typically only factory reset when going from an Android beta to the stable, or if something isn't working right during the betas. I DO clean my phone and restart twice a week. I use SD Maid (rooted) to clean cache and such from system and apps. That works really well. If you're not rooted, unfortunately, most cleaning apps won't clear all app/system cache data. Anyway, something to try.
I've had the 4XL for almost a week and find some lag when unlocking the phone. The colour on the wallpaper will stay black and white for 1 second and then normal.
Also find swiping down for notifications will lag too after unlocking. Running stock, rooted with active edge mod and a font mod, ElementalX kernel.
Anyone else experiencing this? I mean it's not a big deal, maybe a reset and run everything stock to see if it continues.

Perhaps it is something to do with the mods and kernel causing lag? Try a factory reset like I did and see if that fixes it without getting rid of the mods.

So I noticed it's the way I have my unlock process. I didn't have soli on when coming to pick up the phone for automatic detection. I liked being able to just check what songs playing on the AOD without it waking up while picking up the phone.
For the last few days I turned soli back on for that particular feature and no more delay or lag.
