I first noticed this on a running game where you have to hold down either the left or right side of the screen to move in that direction. It would usually register the first press, but not that I had held my finger down so I wasnt moving properly. I thought this was due to the game it's self rather than my phone.
I've just downloaded Naugh where you have to rotate the screen by touching either side of the phone, and again the same issue. It's really unresponsive - It will recognise the tap but not that i've held it, it will stop working. Occasionaly this will also happen when scrolling a page.
I did a quick google search and found that the Z1 had this issue, but havent found a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or if not, any suggestions on figuring out whats wrong?
Edit: I recorded a video of exactly what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW2gCWpThWc
I don't know if my problem with my screen is related to yours, but i'm experiencing some problems as well.
On the picture i attached in this post is a picture taken of my screen with a black background.
In the middle of the screen there is a slight discolouring, and in this particular spot the touch screen is very unresponsive, i'm especially noticing this when playing candy crush, making it almost impossible to swap the two candies in this particular spot
Both of these sound a bit like my problem was at first, but mine quickly got worse (in hours) and then I found the hairline crack in the screen.
Bottom corner and not in a part of the screen that displays anything - just the 'glass' front at the bottom - but a third of the screen near the middle doesn't respond to touch.
It gradually got worse over a couple of hours until it stopped responding altogether.

Hi, after a while checking arround problems related with the screen aligment i found out that a lot of people have that problem.
I saw videos where you touch the left side and the phone recognizes the left side.
In my case is just a bit disaligned but is totally annoying align the screen a couple of times a day...final conclusion another diamond faulty?

Hi i saw a couple of days ago that my N1 do something odd when turning the screen to sleep mode, sometimes (not always) some thick and soft colored lines (light green or light red) appear and dissappear VERY quickly in the bottom of the screen... is this a normal behavior? Whut should i check to see if my screen is going to fail?
my screen works perfectly but... i really dont like this behavior
I have seen that too a few times; just don't give it too much importance.
Hey Fran!
I see you are latin american just like me!
If you like, you can ask for me messenger so we can chat about cellphones
Dude, im a little paranoic, does this happens very often to you?
have anyone faced this trouble too?
I just noticed this same thing last night. it happens maybe once every 6 times you turn off the screen. it happens on the bottom part of the screen.
however one observation, this does NOT happen if you are viewing the lock screen and then turn off the screen. it only happens when viewing the homescreen, or web browser, etc.
so because of this fact, it doesn't happen all the time, nor on every screen, so that tells me it might be some type of software glitch or power glitch. I don't think this means our screens are failing.
this is a VERY difficult issue to notice.
Thanks for answering Roger!
Im a little bit uncomfortable with this issue because it makes me think that my phone's screen will stop working any time... i may say that i have noticed that this is happening more often now than before...
I hope im just being paranoic about this!!
Stock N7 16GB
I have always thought the touchscreen on my N7 was a bit jittery, but now I have come to realize the problem is far worse than I originally thought. For example:
Load a webpage
Place a finger on center of screen
Rest palm or other finger on left edge of screen
Display starts moving/pinch scaling like crazy, even if I remove any touch from left side of screen and keep only 1 finger on center screen.
Almost all the time the touch on my N7 jitters/moves around a bit which causes issues with swiping. If I place 1 finger in the middle of a web page, it moves around slightly even if my finger isn't moving.
I think for these reasons I will be returning this tablet.

I'm having issues with the screen too. For me, it seems worst when it boots up. my example was playing Angry Birds Space - I can't control it, then suddenly it releases and (if a bird with an action) performs the action. any known fixes?
i had same problem think i found a fix
I had same problems with my nexus 7 but it started after i installed dead triger i also noticed tablet dosint come with stock file manager so i installed the same game on my asus tf300 and noticed same issues on my nexus i did a factory reset and cant make screen get any dead spots hope this helps you out
I had that once the other day. I had to reboot it was so bad. Almost felt like the tablet was laggy. Hasn't happened again though.
I do have Dead Trigger installed as well, but I haven't played it in a long time.
Hi all. Hoping someone can help or she'd some.ideas to me.Nottingham
I replaced the screen on my eva-l09 and had issues with it ghost pressing and then the front glass lifted off. So brought another screen (and frame) and again getting really bad ghost pressing and generally going mental.
Both screens were ebay so appreciate may not be best but for it to happen to two screens sseems odd.
Problems I have are random mental press in and scrolling. Phone is seen my finger press as got cursor showing but not actually pressing app icons or scrolling.
Of I hover finger close to screen it sees it despite not touching it.
If I press at very bottom the cursor shows at the very top.
I also only seems to do it in a few certain apps.
I've turned brightness down, cleaned it and made sure no processes are being closed by battery management.
Am I missing something really oblivious or is there an issue with the main board?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated
Cheers

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:
