Hey you guys, ive been using my N1 for about 10 months now, and lately its been a headache because I've been facing weird touch issues since about 7 months... and its getting worse every day...
Initially I thought that this problem was caused because I installed the HTC_IME keyboard that can be found here, I uninstalled it and the problem dissapeared but just for some weeks untill a few days ago, I installed the "gingerbread keyboard" and my problem reappeared, I have tried everything, wiped, flashed, wiping the KB data... and this issue is still there...
Sometimes Im writing and when I press (for example) the "E" button the phone puts hjk.. its practically impossible to write an sms or in gtalk, because when i write the nex letter "X" (for example) the phone puts yui, so instead of ex it appears hjkyui...
Im also facing the thing that you can see in the minute 2:09 of This Video (as far I know, every nexus one does this).
One thing that i noticed is that this issue started when i flashed my first Cyano rom! (I think).
This happens 6-8 times every day, i have to turn off the screen and turn it on again, but sometimes neither this solve the problem!
Is there a way to calibrate my screen? or any app to check if something is wrong?
Im begging for your help, Its very difficult to sell this phone in my country couse everybody uses blackberry... and i dont have the money to change it... Im using last nightlie build (295).
try a different rom... we all have the same touch screens so you problems cannot be any different than anyone elses... the biggest thing i have noticed is the problem starts when you rotate the phone alot
Ill try another rom tomorrow!
any other suggestions?
I have sometimes the keboard problem like yours it's rare. so far as I know you can't fix the touch problems it is there and will be forever. when typing sometime you can touch the screen with the inside of your hand and everything goes wrong then.
if you really having issues when typing you can turn off the screen and back on most of the time it acts normal again.

Not that much. i have auto correct and everything off. I can typ very fast with few errors.

no i don't have that much, really maybe once a week or two.
Maybe your digitizer is broken. i have my nexus now for a year and never had that much problems with the touch screen.I only notice that the multi touch isn't good when playing games on it.
Im using my keyboard without the prediction and since yesterday I have not had any touch issue.
Ill continue using it that way and see how it goes!
Please keep us updated on the progress. I also have this issue. Uninstalled HTC_IME and replaced by SmartKeyboard Pro which solved the issue for a while but recently I have the issue again. Not too often but it indeed is annoying... Would love to see some ultimate solution to this because other than that I am very happy with Nexus.
PS using official OTA ROM (2.2.1 for now)

It only happens to me about once or twice a week for the last year. It happens more often than not immediately after plugging in the charger.
Of course I use the day lights out of my phone, 2 charges a day with 6 hours of screen on time a day.

Well thats odd, each of us are facing different beginnings of this annoying issue!
I've noticed it happens whenever the phone gets hot, usually when charging via an AC adapter.

well, just for you to know, yesterday I chatted with my GF for like an hour and a half with it connected to the charger and not happened to me, im starting to think that this is caused by the auto complete option (which is odd too)
after 2 days of not having any issue, my touch went crazy again, but just a little, I was not charging it, it had the autocomplete option unticked, and it was liying on my bed couse I texted a lot today with my GF.
i did not turned the screen off, I i forced it to write what i wanted it to write... then i left it again on my bed, it turned its screen off and later another message came and it was just fine...
Ill continue testing it like this couse this time the issue was very short.
Its the digitizer. Its a flaw in the N1. But Ive also had the same expierence with launcher pro.

Is there any reliable way to check if its the very source of my trouble?
Any suggestions?
It doesn't matter what app you are doing on the phone at that particular time. It's a hardware defect and just happens wherever you are at the moment.
I've had it happen on the main home screen, typing a text with the keyboard, browsing the web, anywhere. Just a quick sleep the screen resets it back to normal.

I know and understand that, the problem here is that its happening too often that its annoying...
Just to let you know, sometimes i cant even use my phone, and as you said "Just a quick sleep the screen resets it back to normal" ive done it and nothing is fixed, i even wiped to factory settings and when the wipe is completed, my phone its still the same!
Try using another keyboard like swift key or something. You can calibrate the phone in your settings menu

Hey guys,
I could need a bit of help! It's now the third time I'm having this problem, don't ask me why. I've got the feeling that I read the whole forum here, but didn't find anything similiar.
The 1st time I didn't change anything (ok, rooted it, but nothing else)
The 2nd time I overclocked it slightly (~850-900 MHz)
Now I'm using MIUI.
But back to the problem:
I'm unable to use the keyboard, every time I'm sliding open the keyboard (even when it's turned off), it "crashes". The screen stops working or it freezes, the only way to turn it off is taking out the battery.
However, the bigger problem comes now: I'm barely able to restart it. It tries booting, but is restarting all the time or the screen is just turning on (in some angles you see that it is turned on but it's black). After many retries, it starts working, sometimes the bootloop is running 15min or i have to manually restart it 10 times or more. The strange thing is that the keyboard works fine, nevertheless I have to choose between using it opened (taking it with me becomes difficult ) or closed...
...the main problem now is flashing a new Rom, I'm currently trying it through the android sdk and adb, but using the power-button + x is easier
I don't think that I can solve the problem, I sent the device two times back (warranty till may 2012), but maybe someone here knows a bit more. My guess is that one of the sensors is broken, or some parts of the display that should manage the sliding process...
Anyway, thanks for your attention!

Tried to use one a time ago, but it wasn't working right....
However, now I'm not even able to boot it, the screen just flashes and turns off itself before trying to restart a few moments later....guess I lost my Milestone

But I'm still not getting the point, why my mobile had these issues three times, although they "repaired" it twice...and nobody else is having the same problem
hi , my SGS shuts down in my pocket with no reason.
i change the battery but nothing changes.
thing i've made : wipe all,instal new rom via ODIN and CWM,put out the microsd..but nothing.
my phone its now clean with no apps installed and restarts frequently
firmware:2.3.6
i9000 XXJVT
kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9000xwjvz-cl762604 [email protected] #DarkCore_4.2.1_jvz
build: v10.4.2 xwjw1
if somebody can give some ideeas...i've change 4 custom ROMs since now.
i use Darkys ROM 10.4.2 since first day and i dont have this problems
are you sure that it is switched off?? maybe it's a SOD

i dont know what is SOD. if you mean the phone wgone in standby...no.
i just see my phone restarts
might seem like a stupid idea, but i had this problem solved by changing my jeans. If you have tight jeans you push and hold your button you dont even know when , since then i haven't had any restarts ;D
im not sure its a jeans problem...because 10 min ago my phone was on my desk...and restarts...and any time restars, my battery drain about 20%.i made another time wipe and reinstal the ROM...my phone its clean.
Have you tried any other firmware version?

Please tell me if I've understood this correctly:
1) when your phone is on external power, it works fine..
2) When on battery it switches off..
3) your phone switches off, does not restart

so,
1)when is on external power my phone doesnt give me no problem(im sure of that because i have SIM Pin unlock and every time i have to use it) all the night my phone was on charge and no restarts.
2)when is on battery,in my pocket or on my desk,restarts.
now i made another flash via ODIN with NO additional app(Darky Rom 10.2 Extreme Ed) to see its a ROM/APP or hardware
i wanna try with CyanogenMod 7 but i didnt find a link to download

Maybe try a stock firmware coz everything is supposed to work as Samsung intended it to on stock.. If it still happens, it's a hardware issue..
I still feel it sounds like a hardware issue.. On battery, how long does it last between reboots? Is the battery loose? Have you tried another battery perhaps?
I have 2 batteries but my phone restarts.i think is a hardware problem because on clean rom the problem persist.
Sometimes restart 2-3 times in 15 minutes...sometimes for 2-3 hours doesnt happens anything...

if the battery was loose, it would shut down, not restart..

Maybe its not that loose maybe its loose enough to cause a drop in voltage and amp ect so the phone reboots as some kind of protective measure.

I recommend, making something hold ur battery tightly in place, it just a theory but it may work.

Hi guys,
Today I tried to unlock my phone to find out that the touch screen wasn't responding (android was still responding because if i longpress the power button it goes to power menu) So i got a pencil and pressed the reset button after reboot the touch worked normally again..
after about 3 hours this happend again!
I am running cm10.1 if that could be the problem
EDIT: it's not the touch screen when the screen dims and i press it it goes on again?!
anyone that had this problem too?
This happened to me too the other day. Running CM 10.1 also. I reset the phone from the back
That can be a cyanogenmod bug. Try to get a logcat when reporting it

It happened only once in the week I've been using 10.1. I cant really force the phone to make the bug in order to record it with logcat
If it happens again. Plug it in you pc and run adb logcat > Touchissue
Must admit it's happened to me once as well. As it has happened to a few of us at similar times, it hasn't happened before and it hasn't happened since (for me), I suspect it was an app that was updated on Google Play in the last week or so.
i have this problem
me too have this problem
im in cm 10.2
but my friend is on stock 4.1.2 he also suffering from this problem
its not a major issue ,facing during once or twice a week
Hello XDA,
This is my first post/question for XDA so please excuse the errors,
PHONE DETAILs :
Motorola Moto G 2nd Generation (XT1068)(India Release)(16GB/1GB)(Dual SIM)
Issue : Erratic / Unresponsive Behaviour of Moto G 2nd Gen. Screen post root (2-3 weeks post) and reinstalling XMOD .
Brief : 2 - 3 weeks back I had rooted my phone for using Xmod for COC, it was working perfectly fine for sometime i then removed xmod and then after few days reinstalled now this time a lot of issues started popping:
Specific region of screen became unresponsive
lock screen would not allow any swipe like screen got frozen
screen completely becoming unresponsive in between use
I tried the rooting procedure again on my phone but the above situation still persisted, did a hard reset/recovery via no command menu.
still the issue persists.
Some observations :
The bottom left corner is the most un responsive or erratic behaviour prone. FYI this is the region where COC's next button
is drawn which is overidden by xmod.
consistent reboots is required, lock/unlock also gives few minutes of normal behaviour.
the dock/slider is also higly prone to be stuck/unresponsive.
sometimes it works hassle free but first points spot is still many times buggy.
I am open for all suggestions and help and also have no problem with completely re installing the OS (please do provide the process).
P.S. I have attached a screen shot marking the buggy corner which is mostly down or erratic.

I have the same problem. it is not related to xmod, probably a hardware issue of the touch screen. I know because it even happened in twrp recovery once. My best advice is to turn on show touches in developer options and turn screen off and on to temporarily fix it. I'm thinking about getting a one plus two to replace it depending on the price.
Flashing stock is always an option. If it doens´t solve your problem you can still buy a new phone.
