Hey , I'm new to this dev side of Android.
I've been using moto g2 for almost a year now ,
But now I have encountered this problem where in between apps the on screen buttons do not pop if swiped down . Also only the square button seems to work as I can not minimise the app too. I can check all the background apps , but this the problem I can't get past .
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Try factory reset

Same problem with a droid 4 on ics, rooted
FIX for camera not working on droid
The camera on my droid 4 phone never worked from the time I got it. The app wouldn't even open. I went into Settings, Apps and close to list all apps. I chose the disable option for the 2or3 apps that started with "smart" and closed out. After restarting the phone the camera worked great! Hope this info helps!
Stock on all of your phone's? What happens in safe mode?

I have the same problem and I'm very confused what's causing this. I've even installed fresh CM but it did't help. Two days ago surprisingly front camera start working but then I've used scan app and problem back again. Could it be hardware issue?
Hi, I bought a Motorola Droid 4 (Verizon Wireless) on eBay and I just got it yesterday. I also upgraded the firmware to 98.72.18.XT894.Verizon.en.US. I'm not sure if the touch screen is bad because of the software update or because I bought a defective used Droid 4 from a dishonest seller. I didn't test the screen before updating to Jelly Bean.
My problem only occurs in the home screen and app drawer. There seems to be two types of swiping interfaces. One is like scrolling (the phone book, for example) and the other is the "bouncy" pages found in most launcher home screens and app drawers. When I scroll my phone book or navigate a webpage in Chrome, screen scrolls perfectly. However, when I slide left and right in the home screen (or drawer) it slides partially and snaps back to the original page. Most of the time I swipe to right but I move to the left screen instead of the right. This problem never happens with my Droid 3.
A temporary (but not permanent) solution is that I have to swipe right and pause for a millisecond while still pressing on the screen, and then I have to slide right one more time and release my finger.
I notice that the reason why the Droid 4 go left when I swipe right is because the Droid 4 is so sensitive that when I swipe an inch right but 1/8 of an inch left (at the very end) it registers the last movement so that the screen moves left. It is as if the phone ignores the majority of the gesture and only registers the last portion of the gesture. Don't be confused, the majority of the gesture is recognize by the phone because I see screen moving along with my finger but the phone only registers the last part as the "confirmation" to change screen. If I swipe really slowly following the steps from the temporary solution above, it works. But I never had to do this with the Droid 3 or G2 or Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
So does anyone notice this problem? Does anyone notice that their Droid 3 swipes accurately 100% of the time while their Jelly Bean Droid 4 often swipes inaccurately? Should I return my Droid 4? What is going on? Is there a permanent fix? Can someone please verify whether or not this is an isolated issue? In other words, the problem is a bad touch screen (which doesn't make sense to me because everything else works perfectly) or the firmware (which means everyone experiences the same issue).
Also can someone verify to me that their pinch to zoom does not work when they use the Dolphin Mini browser?
Go into your developer options and check pointer location just to get a better understanding of what's going on when trying to swipe... is the phone on charge when this occurs? The touch is vary erratic when on a non OEM charger... there may be some static interference going on... if you haven't I would FDR and clear cache partition from the recovery menu... test the home screen/drawer... test your touches with developer options... try safe mode... test the touches... only time I have noticed this is while on a charger not putting out the OEM 5.1v 850mA...

(1) Developer options was the first thing I tried when I notice the problem. The lines and dots were as accurate as my finger placement and gesture.
(2) The phone was on charge and wasn't on charge. The problem occurred under both conditions.
(3) I was using an OEM charger purchased from Verizon Wireless.
(4) Static interference??? I get shocked a lot when I touch things, but the problem doesn't occur on my D3 when I touch it. IDK what static interference is or how to fix it.
(5) FDR? You mean factory data reset? clear cache? I don't want to resort to this. Won't I have to reinstall everything and re-do all of my settings? I did a hard reset before the update but not after it. And now I don't want to reset again without knowing the cause of the problem.
(6) Safe mode and test the touches? How do I do safe mode? Test the touches is a bit vague.

This phone has a captivate touchscreen... As the human body is also an electrical conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screen's electrostatic field, measurable as a change in capacitance. This is how it responds to our touch I would think the d4 screen would be more sensitive then the d3 that's why I say static interference... safe mode by hold power when you get screen pop long press power off when you get screen pop press OK... once in safe mode see if it still does it... if it does then its not third party app interference... if it doesn't then FDR and add apps one by one to see which app is the issue... personally I would just FDR and wipe internal storage clear cache partition ( in the stock recovery there an option for that) and try with no SD card... if it still did it I would see if it did it with a stylus

I am having doubts about the FDR. After going to the Verizon Wireless store, I tested the Motorola Razr phones and they all had the same problem with the Droid 4. They all use Jelly Bean. I also tried scrolling with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The Note 2 (didn't check which firmware) was as fluid and accurate as the Droid 3.
Am I crazy or is everyone not able to notice the touch issues with the Droid 4?
its the static I tried to find the link for you with no luck... months back a guy had this issue also... I was going to suggest testing a VZW device if safe mode and FDR didn't work but that's what troubleshooting is...

I just tried Safe Mode, and scrolling seemed better. I don't have the scrolling/swiping issues as frequently after I uninstalled ADWLauncher EX.But then again, I never had that problem in the Droid 3, which I had the ADWLauncher EX installed on it. I still have the problem though. Whatever, I guess???
Droid 4 seems really to be very sensitive on touch. At the beginning I had the problem that when I tried to open a program from home screen (using Go Launcher Ex) I suddenly was on the next homescreen instead of having the programm opened. I was coming from Droid 1 and it took me 2 weeks to get used to it - but now after some month it happens just once a week to me.

I believe this touch issue that we are having is a design feature for the new Motorola Droid phones running JellyBean. I've gotten used to it but I think the D3 has a better touch screen.
I just want to update this very old thread to say that my Droid 4 no longer has that problem. I think it really was static that caused these issues. There hasn't been a single software update but over several months, the screen just got better.
Hi ,
I have the Moto X a little over 7 months. I used the Touchless at first, but soon stopped . The bit I decided to go back to using since released more commands to the language of my country ( PT- BR ) .
After starting the Touchless , use the command and exit , while trying to use again , it opens the Touchless , but when I say the command, it does not even detect , lock applications and then restarts . When he comes back , I can use 1 time again and then he stops.
Use the ROM Retail EN 4.4.2 with root , unlocked bootloader and Xposed from the beginning and never had problems with it . I just reinstall the ROM via RSD , because I thought it might be something I did that caused this, but even with the ROM without modification , the same happens .
I did not find anything similar on the Internet . Can anyone tell me what might be happening?
--- Edit
I've just noticed that after playing or give some pause in the audio received direct Whatsapp , it also hangs . If the screen off , not care any more, until it restarts and goes back to normal .
I have the XT1058 .
Update
I made this video below after calling the Touchless the second time, that's when it crashes (like when I give pause in the audio Whatsapp) and he gets so until restart.

If you did rsdlite and touchless froze and rebooted phone BEFORE you installed a single app or rooted.....it may be a hardware issue. Especially if it happens with another app doing audio tasks.
If you did rsdlite and installed apps first, then tried it....its an app causing it.
So make sure you've tried it after a fresh install and zero apps installed.....and before you flash custom recovery. If it does the same thing, try just installing whatsapp....see if it still does it. If so....probably some sort of hardware issue.
Good luck!

On my first Note 7 the Samsung keyboard was really laggy. I switched to the Google keyboard and everything was ok with the speed of typing (accuracy is still bad with Google keyboard). Now with my Note 7 replacement both keyboards are laggy. I type and the letters appear 0.5-1 sec later from time to time. The vibration of the keyboards is also off. Has anybody the same issues?
I did when I used Smart Switch to do a full swap on my device... my new device I moved over data via alternative methods and only restored Settings, Call history, S Note, and Messages with Smart Switch... it's working allot better this time I did a similar thing on my Note 4 when I temporarily reverted during the recall and saw a similar performance improvement

Hmmm. I did a complete clean install after I got the replacement and I got the OTA update. I even installed all the apps newly. I didn't restore anything. Might try another factory reset.
Almost every Samsung phone I had has had a leggy keyboard, my note 4 was really bad. Even after flashing different roms and what not on my note 4, it was still Larry. My note 7 has been pretty decent actually
Do you guys know what's going on with mine? I notice sometimes I'll get a notification and for a split second the notification doesn't fully load at top. Here's a screen shot to show you what I'm talking about. I also just put it side by side my other note that I'm returning and got the same notification while same app open and it didn't do it on the other note. Wtf.
google keyboard lags, samsung keyboard lags aswell.
just installed swiftkey. well see how that turns out.. seems OK so far
I turned off nova accessibility and it fixed the issue for good for me.

So I just to America from India, and the moment I landed in the states, my Moto E started acting weird. The touch works automatically, it keeps pressing randomly on the lower part of the screen. I thought my screen protector was messing up so I removed it. Then I thought there's some software issue so I reset the phone (twice) still nothing.
I dont know what happened to my phone I think the screen got pressing too much in my pocket while I was in the flight for 30 hours. and they won't give me the warranty as it's from India.
Can anyone help?
Have you tried formatting it?

I'm also experiencing the same issue...My Motoe4 plus touch started acting weird especially in the lower part of the screen
A Google search shows that most often the "Ghost touch" is a hardware issue. It seems to happen on a fair number of Moto devices.
If you can't return your phone (best option) then try cleaning the screen and clean your hands before using the phone. It can be the result of oil on the screen.
You can feel free to try clearing caches and data, but don't count on that solving the problem. There are a lot of discussions about this, but the general consensus is hardware, not software.
Try an "External reset"

Hi, I have probably the same problem here .. Moto E4 Plus (XT1771). I was trying to do:
- different fw, without any result
- lower backlight, maybe better, but still there
- complete FR from Settings
- complete FR from 'bootloader menu' - off > power+vol- > power+vol+, here in menu clear cache + clear all data
- external reset, tutorial in upper post
And the result is the same. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's impossible to write anything on keyboard, for example. The only solution is switch off display and turn it on again and wait, if it's better (Developer menu > show touches). If not, switch off and try again ..
I suppose that it's HW problem, do you thing that if I'll replace complete LCD+digitizer+frame, that it will solve this problem?
