[Q] Touch screen behaves very weird.

Hey guys i just bought a nook color and had it shipped to my country but i think i am already regretting it now.
The touch screen starts behaving very weird randomly at any times, it automatically registers touches and keyboard automatically typing own it own, and what ever i touch just goes straight to hell and this continues as long a i don't lock and unlock it again.
Even when i am reading it automatically starts zooming.
I was think about rooting it and installing a custom Rom, will that fix the problem? because giving it back to B&N is not an option for me.
Also i don't have screen guard, and the screen is always smudged with fingerprints, can that trigger this sort of behavior?

I'm using mine in Australia and have a similar problem but only when using the supplied USB cable to charge it.
I've heard stories about faulty USB cables which might be the case as I don't have this problem when I use the cable for my desire. The problem with this is that the cable isn't long enough for practical use and the supplied cable apparently has extra pins which would explain why it still discharges (although slower) when using my desire micro USB cable.
For now I'm limited to only using my nook without the cable plugged in but I'm thinking about finding another cable as sending it back to B&N and then paying to ship it back here isn't really a viable option.
Let me know if you figure something out though.

Well the one with usb cable is a known issue and u can still use it otherwise, mine just happens randomly at any time, its almost unusable.
Does installing a custom rom help?

It wouldn't hurt to try. I know some kernals make changes to the touchscreen sensitivity but I don't know whether that would apply to your problem or not. A nook is very easy to un-root anyways so as far as I know (and don't quote me on this), you should be able to return it if you absolutely have to.
Don't give up though. I'm loving mine and for the price it's an awesome little accessory when it works.

Hi,
Make sure to clean the touch screen - last night I had a different looking
smudge on my screen that was causing huge problems - as soon as I cleaned
it off, back to normal. Are you in a humid location? Condensation will cause
problems too.
Also you may want to search for 'calibrate' in the forums, there is a way to
recalibrate the touchscreen sensitivity, I believe that this is mostly for
low sensitivity at the corners though.
Here are two links I found:

My touch screen acts up as well. I turn the screen off for a couple minutes to "reset" it. It will work OK for a little, then it goes back to wonky.

Hey guys i finally found a solution to this problem, well my touch screen is behaving normally when its not not connected to the power cable. I hope thats a solution good enough for you.
Just go to
h**p://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen
I tried all the custom roms but that didn't help very much, so i tried this on CM7
and so far my screen is giving totally normal tests results when not plugged in and lets hope that it stays that way.

My daughter had a similar wonky-screen problem when she plugged in a particular set of portable music player speakers. Not another pair she has, just that one.
And I was able to replicate it on my nook. It wasn't specific to her nook.

okay, it seems that my excitement didn't last that long but
After a lot of testing, it turned out that the only problems was my oily or moist fingers.
so i got a screen guard and tested it for more than two hours and i haven't had any problems yet. So even if i do see that happening again, once in two hours is not that bad.

[Q] Samsung galaxy Note-Right hand corner of the screen is unresponsive.

Hi all.I bought my galaxy note almost 2 months back.This is my first android phone.I have used iPhone 4 before buying this beast.I must say its awesome.However lately i have started experiencing a little problem.I have noticed that at times while typing my note's screen( Right hand corner) became unresponsive. I had to press the screen a lot of times to actually type a single letter( it was the GO button actually.) After struggling with it for 5-6 minutes it started working fine.After a few days i experienced the same problem again.I took my handset to the service center but the screen was working fine then.
I face this problem sometimes . i noticed that after locking the screen and then unlocking it solves the problem for that moment.Is this a software problem or hardware.
I wasn't able to convince the service person that my device has the problem.How can i make him convince and get the handset replaced.
Any help would be Highly appreciated. (The problem area is actually the place on screen where application icon is situated.)

Is the problem there only when you charge it? Because, there are known issues with many smartphones where that is the case. If it is, then I am right there with you, and trying different chargers I heard will alleviate the issue.

No the problem is not when i charge the device.I face this problem very rarely but not when charging.I would like to mention that the charger provided with the device was very slightly bend on the charging end as if it was forcefully inserted in some device.Though it charges the device without any problem.

Sorry, don't know what else to say. Good luck though.

I have had the problem with the bottom right corner becoming unresponsive to screen taps .This usually happens when the phone is not in my hand but is lying on a soft surface such as a pillow. However the minute I pick it up in my hands, the problem goes away. Strange. I had my note replaced under warranty, only to find the problem re occur on the replacement phone after a few days.

I'm having the exact same problem and thinking of taking it back to the service point. However, could it be rom related?
I'm running LA4. GOing back to a backup of KK5 alleviates the problem.
Something else I've noticed is that when left on a surface the application
button rarely responds but as soon as I touch it on the sides it works and when Ialso plug the usb cable it also works flawlessly.

A friend of mine has the same issue, but it only occurs if the device is laying flat on a table which is odd, he plans to have yet another screen replacement but will probably wait a few months due to shoddy quality control.

I had this issue since the 1st day. It became worst during charging. Have tried every old and new rom with no luck. I though it was a screen issue where I even applied much pressure to the affected area hoping it would help but no luck.
But the issue went away after I flashed Abyss kernel 3.9 via cwm. Now the right bottom corner is as sensitive as the left bottom corner. You might wanna try a different kernel 1st before sending to the service center...

If I remember correctly one HTC phone had similar problem, screen was unresponsive when lying on table but as soon as u pick it up it worked fine. It had something to do with screen/digitizer not being grounded properly.

I got my handset replaced last Saturday, but i am facing the same problem with the new handset.Are you sure that by changing the kernel the problem will be solved.If yes then how can i change the kernel of the handset ?

Interesting, this is theme #1,500,000.

Definitely a hardware problem because when I took it to Samsung service centre, the first thing they did was to flash the phone firmware. Only when the problem persisted, a replacement was given.

shot in the dark here, do you have a case on your note? I was going nuts on the first few days with my note using a flip style case only to find the damn magnet was causing the touch response issues. Took the case off and haven't seen the problem since.

After further testing it seems in my case at least it was definitely a kernel issue with cf-root kernel la4. Replaced it with a different one and problem solved.

Same problem here, put it down and bottom right corner doesn't respond, pick it up, responds instantly like rest of screen. I thought I had some kind of insecure Note that needed to be held or something. Last few days it was really freakin me out to the point I was purposely putting it down and then pressing and pressing and pressing the back button...nothing...pick it up...works with one slight touch, I was like WTF? What the hell could cause that???
Somewhat relieved to see I'm not the only one with a clingy Note. I'm going to wait and hope ICS fixes the issue, if not I'll guess I'll have to learn how to flash.

Right-hand corner of death
Thank goodness I'm not the only one in the world with this problem.
I first observed the problem when i upgraded to LA1. I was loving the improved battery life like a puppy until i noticed the bottom right part of the touch screen was as dead when placed on a flat surface. It started working again after I had picked it up, making me wonder if it had a "Hey I'm being hand held" feature, but it would still trip out when i'd type an SMS or email.
Called the Samsung service center to ask about it. they said they've never heard of such a problem and that I should just bring the phone in for software downgrading since my Note was ok till I upgraded it. For them, it was a firmware problem so replacing it was not on their priority list.
I ended up downgrading myself to KJ3 (using odin) which works fine. Unfortunately, i no longer enjoy the improved battery life or one-handed keyboard config.
No choice now but wait for ICS and hope it works flawlessly.

This is definitely a problem with screen. I got mine replaced an hour ago and did the LCD test. The new one is working perfectly fine (with and without flip case).
Try the LCD test . *#0*#.If the test fails get the hand set replaced.

Outsyder,
What software version are you using?
Tried the screen test and mine works flawlessly on KJ3. Since I'm from southeast Asia, I don't have any other updates available except for LA1 which is buggy on my Note.

Possible MAJOR discovery regarding battery/red lite issue.

So I'm one of the people that's been having major issues with the red light/ no boot issue.
I think the issue (for me at least) is a hardware flaw. Upon completing the steps to reboot the phone (take case apart, disconnect battery, connect power, wait for battery charge indication, reconnect battery) I can get the phone to boot and function just fine.
I have discovered that upon screwing the battery connection back into the phone, it applies a bit too much pressure on the connection which sends the phone back into the redlite "no boot" mode.
TL;DR, If the battery is connected to the phone too "tightly" with the screws, the issue is caused.
Hardware flaw? I think so.
My Fix? Took out the connecting screws, the connection seems to hold without them and there is no more pressure on the connection without the added thickness of the screws (when putting the back of the case on)
EDIT: Here's a video of what I'm talking about, for those of you who haven't had to deal with this (yet?)
Video of Issue
Hey Google/LG, if you're reading this, Send me a new phone, please!! This is unacceptable!

Good find. Maybe you could try packing the back in places so that no pressure is put on the battery

Good Idea, will try it if I encounter this problem again. Seems to hold up, though, even when pressing on the back of the case where the connection is made (down and to the left about 0.5cm from the "n" on the back of the case).

bump--I think people should really see this.

Nice find dude!

I always thought it was a software issue but turns out it is not!
It's still strange that most people have encountered the issue when benchmarking.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence. I'll still stay away from benchmarking, though.

If the finding is true then here my theory on why it happens mostly during benchmarks.When you run benchmarks, your phone and battery heats up a lot. This can cause the connectors to expand causing screws to get tightened.

i can confirmed this find is true, altough its kinda late for me to read this thread.
here is my version.
im a proud owner of nexus 4. got my phone from the 1st batch order, and the original bumper also :angel:
this morning while watching my kid at school, got nothing to do but overclocking my nexus 4 with morfic's latest beta kernel.
silly i put the min and max at 1.8++ghz and run an antutu test on it. and in another 5 seconds the N4 turned off and practically dead. all buttons combo were negatives. as soon as i arrived home i plugged in the official charger. it just blinking red. few moments after i plugged in the N4 to my laptop. blinking red and driver installed notification showed up. then the red light gone. like forever... no red when i put it on charger nor when connected to the laptop.
ok its a dead meat. im in JAKARTA n got my n4 from the US. none of any LG service centre in my country could help me with it. and the RMA things just too far from me.
so since i left with zero to none option, i was wondering "what if i take off the battery?"
i remember read an article from ifixit about how to teardown the nexus 4 then i found the link.
here it is:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/1
what i did was:
1. follow steps number 6 [pictures #1 & #2]
2. number 7 [pictures #1 & #2]
3 and number 9. [pictures #1 & #2. no need do the pictures #3]
4. see the white wire with blue sticky tape right next to the battery? i dont know what is that but i unplugged the golden head off also.
i left it that way for 10 minutes before i put it back all together again [ including the screw battery port holder. just dont screwed them too tight. give a small effort to none power ]
all done and i pressed the power button. its ON like nothing happened before.
when im about to share my fixed in the other thread, i got someone direct me to this thread. so here i am confirming this fixed is legit

Wow!! This fixed my nexus that didn't even have an LED light. You are a life saver!
It's been dead for a week and I was just waiting on warranty. But now it's up and running like a bawse!

This is simply a fault with your phone. Most likely a chip or component isn't soldered correctly or you have a dry joint. When the board is flexed by some force it is breaking or making the connection.
The time will come when even this "fix" for you stops working.
The reason the phone is sometimes failing during stress tests and not coming back on is a safety device. The lithium battery is reporting it is under stress or too hot and the phone shuts down to avoid an explosion. Because there is a big chance the battery is permanently damaged and so potentially dangerous the phone remains in a safety condition wanting to be returned to the manufacturer for testing. Lithium batteries if damaged can explode, imagine if a phone explodes next to your face while you are talking on it? The manufacturers, not wanting a law suit that disfiguring someone might bring, deliberately er on the side of caution.
It's a bit like the limp home mode some cars have when they detect some parameter outside of the norm. You might be able to reset that back to normal by some hack found on the internet but it hasn't fixed the underlying cause.
Regards
Phil

This thread should be stickied as this is a common problem with the Nexus 4.

Just wrote this to bump the thread back to first page so more people can see

Sticky This!
This needs to be stickied!

I'm having a similar issue with my completely stock nexus 4. I can only turn the phone on when it is connected to charger, but this is also very rare. If I manage to turn it on, it shows I have -22% battery left and this doesnt change. I can enter bootloader when charger is connected. I have left it charging overnight, but still it doesn't boot without the charger connected.
Any idea if the fix described here can help me? Can LG service somehow see that the phone has been opened?
I live in unsupported country, so I can't send the phone back to Google. My only hope is this fix here or my local LG service, but I'm not sure if my local LG can even help me, because the phone is not sold here.

Ahhh good thoughts. I've got a replacement battery on the way for that reason... Hopefully it's a problem there.

Nexus 4, 8Gb, in UK
It arrived Sat (2 days ago) @ 80% charge & about 5 mins after unpacking I noticed it was the 8Gb & not the 16Gb I had ordered
Phoned google for RMA - currently awaiting replacement.
Repacked it, took it to work, had a play, installed maybe 3 apps, browsed a lot though - reboxed it afterward. as I had no case & as I didn't want to risk the RMA I decided not to take it next day.
Case arrives from amazon & I'm back to work today, so I decided to risk it - nexus battery almost dead & powered off.
Connected charger - nexus indicates charging on screen when power button is pushed.
As I lift the phone to power it on 20mins later, charging display blanks & red light starts blinking - swap cable, charger & check connections - all ok - nothing but a red light on a dead phone.

After pressing down around there, the red light clears instantly, small vibration & nexus is now charging again.
Am glad I'm sending this unit back, if replacement does this within 30 days then I will give up on LG & wait for next gphone; between this and the glass cracking issues I read of, this may not be the best nexus ever quality wise.
tl;dr Almost virgin Nexus got red light & unresponsive on first charge. After all else failing, firmly pressing the back, directly above the battery connection area immediately revived it...

So you didn't even take it apart to revive it? Interesting... I haven't had this issue myself in the 2 and a half months with this phone, but nice to know what to do if it arises.

It sounds like it could be dodgy solder joints, although I'm tempted to say that I'm currently ****ting myself. Things like glass cracking doesn't worry me, people are clumsy and that usually will cause that. However, we have no control over the quality of the circuitry inside.
The thing is, the poster above says wait for the next GPhone, it's been announced for next year. So you're going to be waiting a hell of a long time. This phone I hope will suffice while you do so however.

Touchscreen Issues

Hi Guys; I recently got my new 2nd Generation Moto G but after setting it up and using it for 20 minutes or so I noticed that sometimes while scrolling through settings, contacts and webpages, that when i am swiping over a horizontal band in the exact center of the screen, the sensitivity of that region of the screen becomes very unreliable and the phone will often interpret scrolling as a press. While scrolling in my phonebook it has a tendancy to call people, when browsing the web it has a tendancy to press links i never wanted it to, and this same behaviour is repeated regardless of what application i am in.
It certainly seems to be more frequent and prominent while I am charging the phone, regardless of the charge current. I have charged it from my pc, 1000ma wall adapter and 850ma wall adapter; all with the same results.
Sometimes turning the screen off and on again can rectify this, but its usualy back again in no time
I have tried factory resetting the phone, with the screen protector both on and off, while on charge and off charge and while making sure nothing else could be interfering with the touch screen i.e., a case.
I only got this phone from ebuyer in the UK 3 days ago, 2 days earlier than it was actually ment to come! so its a real shame im having these problems, I've already spoken to Motorola about it and they have advised me to RMA the phone as they cant give me a definitive answer as to wether or not this is a Hardware or Software issue.
Has anyone else been having issues similar to those that I have experienced with their own new Moto G devices

I would RMA, mine is fine.

my moto(2014) has the same touch screen issues while phone is on charging. unresponsivene & its very annyoing. hpns only whn ph is charging

Unfortunately my phone displays this behaviour both on and off the charger. It does however display the issue more frequently while on charge.
The chargers I'm using are all 5v which is typical of a phone charger. I have one at 850ma which charges painfully slow, I have another at 1000ma which charges much more quickly. And I use my Computers USB ports to charge at times, no matter how I charge the phone the problem remains.
Sometimes it will work fine for an hour or so then it will go insane on me. I have requested RMA with ebuyer. Had the phone only showed this issue on charge I may have been contempt with it, but the problem can happen anywhere, anytime and for a brand new phone that's not acceptable.
@ xDDen: have you tried charging the phone from any other source besides the Samsung charger you have?

yes now am charging with moto g's charger and it is working fine now without any issues

Mine actually didn't come with a charger. I was a bit surprised, but checking the Amazon page (for Germany, since I bought it here, though not from amazon) reveals that this seems correct/intentional. It did include the usual µUSB cable though (and it's not like I don't have enough USB chargers).
For completeness sake: I don't have the described problem, no matter if plugged in or not...

Touch issue
I'm using Moto G 2014 charger only and still facing issue bringing down notification panel.
Also i face issue when trying to unlock phone via pattern lock.
Flipkart offering me a replacement- Shall i go for it?

Been having a problem with the screen, mainly on the back soft button part of the screen, keep finger on it and it multi presses like a mad thing, doesn't happen all the time though, was driving me crazy. took off the Ultimate Shield screen protector and the problem went away, put the shield back on and the problem didn't come back, then couple of hours later (today) I got the ota update and the screen goes mad again, took shield off again and the problem continued, a few minutes later and it's all fine again. now (a few hours later) still all is fine.
Problem is I was all ready for doing a RMA to Amazon.co.uk for it, stuck on what to do now as if I send it back and they find no fault.

Same issue here, but without any screen protector. OTA update hasn't changed anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes the screen recognizes double/triple taps where it should be only one...

Well the touch screen issues got way too much for me so I returned the phone to Amazon uk and got a refund, bought another moto g from Argos the same day I returned it and I'm glad I did, everything is ok with the new phone, no screen issues at all.

Moto G 2014 Tocuh Screen issues
Same issue here.
Bought phone 1 week ago from Argos. Initially fine, then suddenly cant use the swipe down notification bar.
Turned on the Show Touch indicator in Developer options and it clearly shows that the screen is registering the touches about 0.5cm down the screen from where I am touching. So you can never hit the notification bar when its doing that. I found that turning the screen off with the power button and then back on again usually clears the problem.
In the UK the phone only comes with a USB cable, so I use a variety of chargers.
I think mines going back as not functioning properly

I also having same issue you should post your emei. It might be I purchased defective from one of previous user having same issue. I'm at Singapore.

Me too! I am very sorry to learn that it is a hardware problem.
I'm afraid to take it to the service center because the problem is intermittent and technicians could not detect it .
Any of you have solved?

If it was a hardware problem we could try asking a kind of compensation, I don't know, some free accessories, or maybe the change of the device...

Had a problem with mine, it would go mental pressing the back softkey, press it once and it would just keep doing it by itself, so a problem with lower left of the screen, sent it back to Amazon for refund and got another one from Argos, this one is mostly alright with the screen touches but will sometimes do a double press or think a press is a swipe anywhere on the screen, it's not been so bad that I kept it, but now other problems like the memory shortage making apps close is starting to really get to me, also the screen rotation get stuck in landscape now and then, even it sometimes goes to landscape by itself.
In the process of getting a different phone as this is starting to annoy too much.

Mi3W TouchScreen issue

From yesterday I was having a strange issue with my Mi3w, I'm using this phone for a very long time. I have noticed that, a small part of the screen is not responsive. If I want to swipe my lock screen up, then a certain point the touch does not respond. more over the device is not also responding if I reboot my device al least 3 min, after that the screen become responsive again, with recovery mode the issue is there, it does response after couple of minutes. I'm not quite sure what the issue. It's not a ROM issue I guess because I've flashed a MIUI 7 ROM and it's the same issue. Could it be possible that the LCD connector got loosened up somehow?

Take a touch screen test using *#*#64663#*#*

You wont even believe what i had been going thru
I had the same issue on my mi3 due to which i made a decision to test out a custom rom.
it was little strange for me n let me explain :
While i was using Miui ROM , My phone started going into "Button Non-responsive" mode
While trying to find the cause i realized it was sue to heating on near just above area right in center where board is placed
Non button responsive mode means : Recents app will open, I can still use screen but i cannot use any buttons (hardware/Software based)
I am currently on RR current version : i still get recents open up or G Shortcut open the menu but i can use button (Thanks Custom Roms)
Did you recently faced any liquid/wetting issue on phone ?, if not, still get the phone opened up & get the cleaned up.
Try changing the protection glass or smthing installed or use it naked
Try touching your phone to metal rod where you can static discharge
Cannot comment much as yu are facing issues in receovery too but still try & report

No liquid damage that is for 100% sure. Check the screen test snapshot from here. http://tinypic.com/m/jgs5zb/1 Between those two line touch is not responsive. As I have mentioned that Device is in non responsive mode after reboot and even in recovery mode after couple of minutes. One reapair guys said that the digitizer has doomed. You wont believe the quoted price from 1 of 3 service center here in kolkata 5800 INR, 2 of 3 said, they don't have the parts and company stopped sending the item, please get the work done via local technician, 3 of 3 said, quoted price is around 6800 INR. My best bet is Ebay. BTW do you still have the issue?

Well I do have the issue but my phone is working fine otherwise
buy from Ebay & it should cost you around 1500-1800 only including fittings.
Try it & i might buy a new screen+digitizer too !!!

Going to buy a original one? BTW here is a Ebay search result. Suggest me one.
