Odd Touchscreen issues

Hey,
I have Verizon droid 3 running up in Canada, and its been working fine...however it recently started having issues with the touchscreen.
Basically the screen works normally 3% now, otherwise it only works when the keyboard is open to just above the first row of keys.
If I touch the screen while the keyboard is fully open it wont respond, but when I go back to the working position it will respond to a touch made while fully open (ie; I pressed ok after typing, it didn't submit until I closed the keyboard to the working position, like a delayed response).
It seems like a software issue, but I already hard reset.....
Any ideas? I don't want to change this phone after only 5 months (no Verizon warranty here!)..
Thanks,

Which ROM are you on, stock or a custom one?

Its a long shot, but I have odd touchscreen issues when plugged into cheap power sources (inverters, etc). You may want to check the battery - pop it out for a bit, put it back in, maybe try someone else's, etc...

Oh ok, then I'm not really sure. I would, if you want, try and flash right back to complete stock and see if your having the same troubles. If you are then it's almost guaranteed to be a hardware problem. However, if the problem doesn't persist then it could have just been some weird bug or glitch that happened. I've had some weird things happen a week or so after a flash and it was software related.
But all this would be having you do a reflash either through CWM/Safestrap or sbf and then you lose everything you have (Though you can backup & restore apps via Titanium Backup). So if you don't end up reflashing I understand
Also does this happen only at certain times/intervals say when your charging? Hope this helps!
Edit: I looked at the orig post at work and forgot to look at it again. A hard reset should be able to fix it, but you never know. I would recommend a reflash and see what happens. Sorry I can't be more help

I hate you. I read your post yesterday and thought "huh, that's really weird and unfortunate." I woke up today and the same thing is happening to me. I haven't flashed anything since April. It was totally out of the blue.
Mine only works when the screen is slid open bout half a centimeter, not even enough to force the screen to rotate.

That's exactly what's happening....It's been like this for a week. However, it sometimes works when I left it for the night to charge...or randomly, but full functionality lasts only a few minutes.

has there been any update on this status? im trying to fix a friends with the same problem.

I'm in the same train
It's strange.
Yesterday my touchscreen it was completely unresponsive the whole day.
stock rom, everything untouched
i rebooted it a million times. closed or open make no difference.
today, it is working amazingly
what was the difference? nothing at all! it layed on my desk all night
i don't understand how the digitizer can go between perfect condition and not working as it wish.

Flashlight always on problem

Ok, so, I've had this for a while now... I've searched for solutions, found people with the same problem, but no definite answers, so I thought one of you guys can help me.
My flash (camera) light is always on. By always, I mean ...when the phone itself is on, i.e. the light doesn't go off until i turn the phone off... ALWAYS. The light is not at it's full strenght, it's somewhat hard to notice during the day for ex., but I just don't know how to turn it off.
I thought maybe that some app might be using it, but after checking into it, I don't think that's the case here...
So, any solutions or at least ideas on how to aproach this? Thanx...

then maybe try downloading other flashlight apps from play and doing the same thing?

I have torch app that comes with CM 10, and I've tried the thing, nothing...
I doubt that it will be different with other apps, but I'll try them too. Thanx.

Ok, just noticed one majpr thing - the flash is on even when the phone is turned off!!! Not sure what that means...
Btw, tried with 5 different app store apps, no change.

Same problem with stock ROM?

Haven't tried that yet... It's a major pain in the ass. And even if it resolves it, I'm not going back to stock, for sure.
But, if it is gone on stock, and then doesn't come back on new CM flash, then it could be worth it. (even if it's double pain in the ass)
But, I doubt that will be the case. I am thinking more and more that the problem is hardware orientated.
As for the time before I migrated to CM, I don't remember.
Anyway, thanx, I'll think about doing it if I have the time.

It's not that hard to try it, just to know if it's software or hardware related.
Make a full backup in recovery, then flash stock with Odin.
See if problem is solved.
If not, it's probably HW related.
Now you can just flash recovery and restore your backup if you don't have plans to bring it in for service.
If it's fixed, then it's probably best to make a clean cm install anyway.
Hope you'll find a solution.

I suppose my problem was hardware related (phone went through A LOT), but for you... Sorry, don't know.
You should definitly object to the seller, if you are in position. It's not a small problem.

Can't answer incoming calls!

When someone calls me I can't answer an incoming call. If I'm lookin at stuff on my phone it just rings and freezes what ever its on. If I try to touch the screen it doesn't respond to any touch. Really frustrated as this is my first motorola smartphone. Isn't the call screen supposed to pop up? I have rooted my phone and I'm using xposed, but I've tried to disable every module on it and still same problem! And there is others with the same problem as mine (probably without root) out there :/
Please any help would be very appreciated! Thanks

There is a gravity box setting called 'non-intrusive calls' or something like that, might be part of the problem.
My guess is its exposed. Uninstall all modules, uninstall the framework, flash the disabler zip in recovery and try it again.

I helped another user with an issue that matches what you have described exactly. After much troubleshooting, the only thing that fixed it was to flash the entire stock SBF as per the "Return to Stock" thread.
Keep in mind this erases EVERYTHING, including anything you have downloaded to the internal memory. So save anything important to your PC first, and put it back afterwards.
You can try other methods, but I fear they won't work - based on [much] experience.
Good Luck!

6.0.1 Changes for LG G Watch R

So my watch updated last night, and now I am trying to figure out all the changes.
I see that we have new gestures. I don't really use them, so Meh.
I also see that my battery projection jumped from 50 hours to 3 days, so that I freaking awesome if it pans out.
Anyone see anything else?

I think Google's reason was: "Why? Because F**k you, thats why!" It also baffles me that they still haven't incorporated custom canned responses to declined phone calls; you are stuck with the default ones even though you set up custom ones on the phone - the reason was probaby the same as the reboot omisson.

Have you tried 'Unpair with phone'? To me that sounds like it would do a factory reset since an unpaired watch is basically useless.

Big change
Hi all,
Also got marshmallow, and biggest change for me is that it won't pair with phone. It comes up alright, and after accepting the Bluetooth code the phone wear app says "couldn't connect with ...". I tried factory resets (via unpair phone setting item), fresh install of wear phone app, and what not - still no luck.
Will try to downgrade and see if that helps.
Yours,
Christian

From what I understand factory reset is "Unpair with phone" now, as when you select it asks: "are you sure you want to unpair and factory reset watch.
Interesting thing, is the new Reminders app, doesn't seem to work it asks to update android wear on phone when I open it, but nothing happens.

I replied to you in the other thread but will post here as it may be useful to others..
I have the same issue. After OTA , i factory resetted and now it will not pair. I get "failed to pair...." I have tried multiple resets and cleared the data on the android wear app but no joy. I have gone back to 5.1.1 using the first post of the factory image thread. I was able to flash boot.img and system.img but recovery.img failed due to a partition error. Now everything is working again. Paired and synced on first attempt.

I also went back to 5.1.1 and things now work again - recovery flash also worked.
Seems the problem is really on the phone end. I have a Nexus 4 with "Fake stock" ROM (marshmellow). I could get the watch to pair with my Nexus 7 running stock 6.0..1 and that paired just fine. I also see other problems with the same Nexus 4 ROM with other bluetooth devices - e.g., my Jabra Tag II bluetooth audio RX/TX. I've posted on the ROM bug report forum.

My watch gives an error about a muted microfone although the mike is enabled everywhere in the settings where possible.
" Microfone disabled, waiting for injected audio."
Any suggestions?
Edit: Also the screen goes off after some time although I haven't enabled it anywhere?
Maybe I'll just reset it...

The biggest change for me - now we have native vibration when the watch disconnects (on connects) ... it was about f'in time ...

Manually updated mine to 6.0.1 using adb and now my iPhone (9.3 beta3 and latest android wear app) constantly looses connection. Have to pair as new device, restarting phone and/ or watch won't help.
Does anybody experience the same?
Might have to go back to 5.1.1 ...

Hmm, well thats a disappointing. The removal of the reboot and reset is moronic and the new gestures are useless.
For the most part I cant get them to work, and even if I could why would I want to look like I was a nutter because I was randomly flapping my arm around trying (usually unsuccessfully) to control my damn watch?

Bluetooth failed

Hi guys, just got my mix around a week ago. Flawless at first, no real complain, then this morning i noticed my smartband hasnt given me any notification and it turns out the phone bluetooth connection is dead.
Dead as in you can click it to tell it to turn itself on, but nothing happens. It doesnt recognise any bluetooth nearby either. Tried the test in the about section of the phone and it doesnt give me anything on the bluetooth status, just blank.
Tried restarting the phone, same thing. Factory reset, same thing. Im on 8.0 global rom straight from when i bought it. Any idea if this is hardware or software?
Thanks

I flashed EpicROM from last week and now I can't connect to my Bluetooth speaker. I can still see Bluetooth devices but it's not pairing. Worked on EpicROM from february

That is vendor ROM.

Well at the very least you still able to toggle the bluetooth on and off, while mine just doesnt even budge. Really disappointing though...

Good point Jazz....when I dirty flashed to the 8.2 global rom I was having all kinds of forced closes literally almost every few seconds it seemed. It clearly stated in the guide if you go from developer rom to global you should do a complete wipe but I seemed to miss that part. I then re formatted and started from scratch and it worked like a charm after that...zero FCS. Give it another try if you didn't wipe it last time, could make the difference.

I'm from official rom 8.2.3.0 stable and without bluetooth since 3 days ... I wait for an official update or it's hardware problem ? What can i do ? I'm so sad and disappointed with this !

Nobody can help me ? It's software or hardware problem ?

Try to do a clean flash with another rom, like global or last beta. Probaly, is a software problem.

I'm already on global rom ... A clean flash is full erase of the phone but Mi Mix without SD card is a big problem for backup all my phone ...

I gotts say i bought this phone with high hopes but it is a total c**p. Moving from opo5 I regret it all the way. My Bluetooth doesnt work also. I tried resetting phone and settings only since it doesn't back up app data (except for sone google spps) i dont want to factory reset. Anyone had a chance fixing it?

Did you buy it new, which ROM, could it be vendor rom, do as suggested, back up you're data, install custom rom it's the only way to find out if it's hardware, no one else is reporting these sorts of problems even after 2 years of abuse.

Sorry posted in wrong section. I bought new global mix 2S and has latest ota.
