as the title says i was reading when the menu started showing and hiding again and again i tought was some book issues but when i got to the homescreen it began to run apps i had on it, i have no idea of the cause of this problem
I've had this same problem. I believe it's just the software and not a deficient screen. If you look over on the nookdevs website, there's a page about recalibrating the screen. I've tried it a couple of times and it's definitely improved it. Every now and then something wacky happens, but I guess that's to be expected when you let B&N develop for Android.
I had this happen myself once, and it was pretty annoying... If I didn't have adb available I don't think I could have fixed it until I did. I wasn't able to tap the screen myself, it was taping all over the place.
I did manage after a few minutes to get multitouch paint installed and it was drawing weird dots, lines, angles, etc...
I now have the recalibrate command in gscript but not sure I could run it while it's acting up. Luckily it's only happened once, and it happened while plugged in but never seen it happen again.
Happens a lot on my NC, and I think every time its because my kids touch it with dirty fingers (sweets, chocolate etc), smearing small amounts of dirt on the screen.
The screen goes nuts within few seconds, thinks its being clicked etc...
Wiping/cleaning the screen helps to resore normal behavior, btw - while the screen is moist it does not work for me at all...
Ordered screen protectors, lets see if it makes a differencel
My screen randomly goes nuts as well. It seems like a sudden, rather than a gradual thing. The screen sometimes gets pretty dirty, but cleaning it didn't seem to make much difference. Odd thing is, what DID make a difference was taking it out of the aftermarket case. I have no idea why this would work, but it does. One thing this case does is that it pushes the power and volume buttons in, as it uses four elastic straps at the corners. Maybe holding these buttons a certain way recalibrates the screen, and if you're touching it at the time, it freaks out?
I've noticed my screen only bugs out when I have it plugged into the charger.
As long as its unplugged, its fine. As soon as i pop in the cord, the screen goes haywire.
Only the wall charger though, not when its plugged into the USB on the computer.
My screen was doing that until I got a screen protector.

Also, if you lock and unlock the NC it should stop acting funny.
I noticed that too. Mine hasn't gone REALLY nuts since I took it out of it's case, but sometimes when playing angry birds, it freaks out to the point where I can't play. Hitting the power button, and then hitting it again, and unlocking makes it normal. Wouldn't that indicate it's software instead of hardware? Maybe there's more than one problem?

Mine does the same thing every now and again. And like you, locking the screen and waking it back up fixes it every time. It's definitely software related.
Do your cases have a latch? With a magnet? Because I'm starting to think that may have something to do with it.
My case has a latch, but the magnet is not against the nook when I'm using it..

Heh, I've considered that.. Also considered the mystery sensor to the left of the Nook button too.. Nook is afraid of the dark.
Seriously though, with the CPU guvna' set to ondemand and wifi turned OFF before I power it off I haven't seen it reboot yet. It rebooted once yesterday and I know it had wifi left on as I had just been using it and didn't turn it off before it went to sleep.
So totally making up numbers here....
Default CPU governor + wifi on = 30% chance it's gonna reboot when it goes to sleep..
ondemand governor + wifi on = 20% chance it's gonna reboot
ondemand govenor + wifi off = <10% chance it's gonna reboot (not gonna even say 0 here.. heh)

I tested this theory. When the Nook is in the case, I get crazy screen taps when i try to type something. Out of the case, its perfectly fine.
When I just rest the Nook on the open case (not inside the straps/holders), it will also get crazy screen taps.
One thing to note is I also did not have any problems before updating to 1.0.1. Not saying the update is the cause of the problem but its one of the variables.
So, i was using xperia z for 2.5 weeks and everything was great so far.
But four or five days ago i noticed that power button changed the way it presses. Now, if i havent turn the screen on for some time, the button makes a little crunch when it is touched. This effect repeats in lighter way on the secong press of the button, and there is no such issue if button is in constant use. But the problem appears again, if device has not been used for an hour or more.
And the proccess of pressing is sort of going in two stages: in the beginning goes the crunch (the feeling is like the button scratches something with some resistanse. There is also a little dangle of the button while unpressed), next the gap ends, button touches its membrane smoothly and silently. Sure, the issue is not really unbearable, but it does concern me as it is the only big problem i experienced on my device.
So, should i wait for issue to disappear itself, is it possible to make any steps to improve the situation on my own or is it better to visit service centre at once?
I forgot to mention this: device has been used gently and carefully, it has never fell down, it has never been used or carried in conditions that could possibly make damage to button, neither sand nor dirt could penetrate button's mechanism and so on.
Get a replacement to be honest I wouldn't want water getting in. Sounds like the button has loosened or something.
This has happened to people with game controllers with the Wii, ps3 Xbox etc

The problem has surprisingly disappeared today. There is still a little gap, but annoying sounds went away and the pressing of button feels just fine.
I guess i'll immediately visit service center if the issue will happen again, though.
Just picked up a second hand S4 Active. At times, the screen gets jumpy. It looks as though you are trying to swipe between screens. Also, it will at times go unresponsive. Touching the power button to turn the screen off, then turning it back on with power or home, fixes it.
I am going to take it apart to see if there are any signs of corrosion, and make sure the LCD connector is tight. I really don't think it has water damage, because the stickers are white. I suppose they could have been replaced.
I saw some youtube things that said a swelled battery could be the culprit, but the battery is not swelled at all.
Any ideas on this? It's a flicker - it jumps around. Turning the screen off and on fixes it, so I'm not really sure what the deal is.
Thanks much.
Should have added - it's on stock 4.4.2, if that matters.
Is anybody else experiencing unresponsive screen on some parts?
Couple of days ago I started having problems with letter "a". It wouldn't react unless I pressed it all the way at the left side of the key, which I attributed to being close to curve of the screen - if the phone was in my left hand then I pretty much punched it on the right spot every time, so I thought it had to be it. It's an ongoing thing.
But now I was making a video in Quik app, and in one of the screens the play/pause button is right at the place where the letter "a", and I found my self having to press the key like 10 times in a row before it reacted - on a couple of occasions. I doubt it's some sort of memory issue since this thing is a beast and no way a couple of pics in Quik app could make it unresponsive.
I am utterly crushed now, since I love this phone to death. I really hope it's not a defect :crying:
So I'm just curious if anyone else has this issue... I've had my ROG Phone 2 for almost a year now and I'm pretty sure I've always had this weird issue, it's really not that bad though, mostly just annoying sometimes.
Whenever my phone is charging, the touchscreen gets super sensitive. While charging, just about every time I go to hit the home button, it will trigger the home button multiple times within like a quarter of a second, like I tapped it crazy super fast a bunch of times or something, even though I didn't. I can also barely hover my finger above the home button on the screen and it will do the same thing sometimes while charging. I have to quickly and firmly press the home button to avoid this most of the time while charging. It's not consistent though, it doesn't happen every single time I go to press the home button (it also does the same with the back button), but it does happen a lot, and only when charging.
