Solution:
Go to Settings (if you're stuck in an app, use the button in your notification panel)
Go to 'System' (try tapping above the broken screen area)
Go to 'About this phone'
That should be all that has to be done! Do note: this fix isn't permanent. Let's hope Nokia fixes this.
Old thread:
Hello all!
When i woke up today and unlocked my phone (while an app is open) the bottom part (starting just above the nav-buttons) of my touchscreen just stops working.
I've had this problem a couple times (at most once per day) since updating from Oreo.
The solution to this problem seems to just to reboot the phone.. (This won't fix it permanently, sadly)
I'm asking if anyone else has this same problem, because i don't know the source of this problem.. (Maybe its because of the app not being P compatible?)
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem after the last update (september). Android Pie beta. Almost every morning i have to restart ..
Before the update was enough to just torn off/on the screen .
i don't have this problem on TA-1046 with Pie DP2-DP4.1 or Pie stable... maybe some incompatible apps? you use some for changing NavBar/Gesture area?
although i use XDA NavigationGesture what replace NavBar/Gesture with own, still not having problem, maybe you can try too this replacement, have many more function/settings that stock Pie gesture
for u its bottom touch screen is not working , but for me top of my touch screen isnt working .. and iam facing some serious problems after updating to pie . my phone restarts all of a sudden while charging , app crashes and more , hope hmd fixes this kind of issues in upcoming oct security patch update .

Issue with charging
I am having a charging issue. My phone usb and adapter is working fine with other phones. But when I connect my Nokia 7 Plus below 50%,My phone shows charging And when I tap the screen it doesn't charge. It occurs couple of time. And then It becomes normal and shows rapid charge after 55%. My charging port is fine when I connect it with my Pc usb port. some how the rapid charge doesn't respond. Does anyone have this problem?

What is real time for charge? Rapidcharging is disabled while you activated LCD
Yeah I'm facing similar issues, or did... I'm not sure... but it's been a non-issue for the past ~36 hours now. Here's to hoping it's not an issue any longer. I speculated it might be adaptive battery related somehow, so I tried rebooting my phone just before going to bed Sunday night, but my navbar still worked Monday morning, and this Tuesday it's still working in fact. I did this to test if it stopped working based on time since last reboot, or because some background process being killed due to adaptive battery/doze putting the phone to sleep. But based on my recent experience I think my hypothesis can be rejected. And I'm still not sure what caused it.

Same for me ta-1046, happened to me twice now. bottom part of screen stops reacting to touch. reboot fixes it.
Hmm... After playing around in the settings while having this problem active, for some reason, going to the phone info section just fixed it... I'm not sure if going there actually did that. needs more testing, I suppose.
+1 I use navigation gestures

Huh, I'll be damned. When my nav bar was frozen this morning I went into the "about phone" section in the menu, and, lo and behold, my nav bar sprang back to life instantly. Now it might still just be a coincident of course, but it's certainly interesting, and could potentially be a fix where you don't have to reboot.

Capture of
I managed to capture a video of the bounds of the touch-registration when the bottom 1,5 centimeter of the screen stops registering.

Same problem for me after upgrading a couple of days ago. Bottom of the screen (navbar and a bit more) is not accessible. Always happens after a night charging.
Going to the "About phone" menu fixes it. Thanks!
I have seen reports of people with other phones saying this is due to the setup wizard being active and preventing using the navigation bar. Tried some suggested adb commands without success. I will still try to disable the setup wizard app and report back.
IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!

This might help getting a quicker fix from Nokia.
Looks like the recent October patch still has this issue.
Would be nice if i can get a logcat this issue, but given this issue gets triggered after hours of inactivity, it would take a looong time to sift through the log.
Maybe there's a way to trigger it without waiting?
I can try logging when i do the "about phone" fix, will come back to this.
same isue here.. after chsrging at night nav bar bottom inch not responsive.. will try the phone info thing in the morning... is this software related ? will there be a patch??

Anyone see their location icon blinking constantly in the upper right corner? It just started this morning. I have had android 5.1.1 since late last week. It's eating my battery. 73% after an hour .
Seeing the same thing after upgrading to 5.1.1 yesterday
What build? I'm on Z and haven't had this at all. Obviously not a common issue. Yet.
sounds as you have an app constantly checking your location. set your location to battery saving.

The thing is that it's not really blinking, it's more flickering really rapidly. Looks buggy. And I've never seen it before. Had to turn off location for quite a while to get it to go away. It's happened twice in two days.

Same issue!
I am having the same issue here. Its not blinking, its more a flickering of the icon like there is a loose connection to a light bulb. Quite odd....
It started just before I update to 5.1.1, sometime after I/O so I wonder if it might be related to the Photos app or another google app update. I hoped upgrading to 5.1.1 would resolve it but it was still there.
I am also on 100% stock android
Same, nexus 5_ 5.1.1 stocks
I've exactly the same issue. Hoping updates~~~ i've notice battery decrease vert fast sincères update. Not sure it's related
One of your applications keeps requesting location access and is being granted then it'll turn off. Find out which application it is and then uninstall the app or deny the location permission to the application.
Or just turn off location / GPS.

Same issue!
I have a Nexus 6. I noticed the issue about 2 weeks ago. I was hoping to get it fixed with the 5.1.1 update, but it didn't.
I haven't been able to find out which app causes this. If someone finds out, could you please let us know?

Boot up in safe mode. Start each app until you find the culprit.
Any resolution?
Has anyone had any luck finding the app responsible for for the flickering icon?
I have started it in safe mode, however am unable to open 3rd party apps in safe mode so cannot find the cause.
Bump
Same issue every startup. 5.1.1 stock. Seems the easy fix is to turn on and off bluetooth though surely there is a more scientific resolution.
I'm been having same issue for some time now.
Today, while location was blinking, I checked the location options and "eye-fi mobile app" (for eye-fi SD card) was at the top of the list.
I have uinstalled it and the blinking stopped...
Will see these days if was the only one causing the problem
This happened to me yesterday and that was completely by mistake. I had the marshmallow update for sometime now and not experienced any major issues other than the random heating (while charging) and some drains at times.
The major issue occurred to me yesterday, when my mutli-window function got disabled by some how and then the phone did not respond to any of my finger touches anywhere on the screen. I have a password lock screen and that too stopped working because the touch response system was not usable. After a struggle for many hours and one sleepless night, the next morning, when I was just thinking of sending the phone to the service center; it just came to my mind and I tried out the SPen and that was working just fine. :victory:
So, using SPen I unlocked my phone and tried to understand what changed. As I normally enable a few functions on my phone, it easily came to my notice that the multi-window function was disabled. So, again using the SPen I enabled it and Voila!! the finger touch started working back.
This is pretty crazy and never experienced this before the marshmallow update.
PS: Even the backlit hard buttons ( left one, home, back right ) had stopped working for me for that instance.
Anyone has any clue on it?
Did you do a reset after the upgrade?

Yes, as I said the upgrade was not the issue, the issue is disabling "multi-windows" made the phone unusable for sometime till I enabled it back and it started working fine. The issue is something with that "multi-window" on marshmallow update.
I don't intend to go back to older version now.

With all due respect, there's no way to know if the "upgrade was not the issue" unless you actually did a wipe/reset to rule out the crud remaining particularly between major version number leaps.
I tested what you described as the cause of your problem on my wiped/reset device and the problem is not happening for me. Enabling and disabling multi-window causes no issues in my case.
IT might be worth doing a wipe/reset if you haven't. (It's not clear from your response if you have or not done so).

I think I have been more clear and transparent, if you says the multi-window is not an issue then it may be something else which I am not aware of. Though I know that over that particular day nothing new was installed on my phone (so I doubt it can be other software).
Why I am sure its the marshmallow update is because the older version I had tried disabling the mutli-window and the phone worked well, only with the marshmallow update the phone got weird (that too with that multi-window disabled) and enabling the multi-window made it work, so that's my point.
To answer you question on "Did I do a reset", the answer is no I did not, I rebooted (and shut) it couple of times thinking its overloaded but it did not change my situation. Only after I realized that SPen was working fine I could unlock the phone and enable the mutli-window and there after it started responding well to my finger touches too. It's working good today as I write this response. I can once again disable mutli-windows and check if it goes weird again. Let me know if you want me to do that?
Regards.
I recognize that doing a reset can be a pain, but it's probably worth it in the long term. It's up to you, but if it were me, I'd do a reset and start fresh.
When you make major version leaps, the chances of problems increases dramatically over point releases. (i.e. going from 5.x to 6.x is bigger than going from 5.0 to 5.1)
I'm experiencing hangs or touch screen unresponsive, I think its the touch that stops responding unless you lock and unlock the phone.
I have three weeks with the phone and started yesterday right after a Factory Reset. Before that, it never happenes.
Today its better but still happen
Attach an image with the touch's firmware version
Has it happened to you?

same thing happens to me from time to time, i have the phone for 8 days now, it started maybe 3 days ago, screen unresponsiveness happened maybe 4 times to this date
temp fix for me was downloading Google GO files and using it to delete cache, it works for now, no screen freeze up to this point
I think is not the same issue, I refer to touch issue thats come unresponsive some times until you lock and unlock screen. Now I'm testing android P which have another firmware for the touch panel. I will report later if dont presents the issue.
I installed the preview of the Android P developer and used it for two days and after a day of use I had the same problem, very disappointing, I went back to version 8.1, I do not understand why this happened, I never hit it, threw it, nor nothing. I was very carefully with it.
Has this issue been fixed yet?
We have a few of these phones in our family and one of them is doing this sporadically, several times in a row and then it's fine for days.
I can't see a pattern as to when it happens though.
Short Question : any of you using the Nova Launcher? Ive got same problem but using the Nova Launcher since years. Yesterday i did a clean Nova Launcher (stable) install and not taking my Backup file... And my Problem with hanging (Touch panel not recognized often my Touch) seems gone. Dont know why but after testing a whole of things im trying the standard Launcher and it works better.. So i did a clean install of Nova.

Hi guys, do you guys Enable or Disable "Tap to wake" function? If not, try enable that function, maybe that help.
Same problem in my Nokia 5.1 Plus. automatically touched at top of time side and battery indicated area. and i cant open notification bar.
I turned ''Tap to Wake'' on and my screen has worked perfectly since then. So i think this is definetely bug, not HW problen.
has anyone managed to solve this? its diving me nuts since the past few weeks and i dont know what to do with it. I would try to fresh install the OS but if that does not fix it, ill loose everything (game saves and such) but dont fix it.
i noticed sometimes the screen does some kind of refresh and then it starts working again. But mostly i have to lock and unlock to get it working again.

The only thing that worked for me was returning the phone untill the screen was replaced.

Hey all just checking to see if anyone has same issue, it is persisting beyond an update. I plug in for night and usually every morning screen is off. Takes me holding down power button for ten seconds for it to come back. Not sure if I'm rebooting phone and it was on or if it was off.
Same here. Got it 2 times. No idea!!!
Exactly same issue, happens every 3-4 days.
I have same problem. After last update, that hapoend 3 times already. I wonder why...
Guys you have to search before posting. Here is the topic i made a while back. Have had this issue since then and i notice it because i have the aod (always on display) and the screen disappears.

Which of these are you guys using? Maybe we can deduce if its an app or some firmware issue.
From your list I'm using only Spotify. However I'm afraid that my phone was turning off even before I got this app. Will check anyway (already uninstalled it), and will let you know.
What I can say for sure is that my phone is switching off completely (not only display) as all my Bluetooth devices are disconnected straight away.
Hope we will find a solution for this issue!
it happened to me twice as well, having the phone for almost 2 months. It is a bit annoying and I dont understand why it happens. Among the list of these apps, I only have Spotify installed as well.
I dont have any apps from Your list. My phone turned off twice since last update, before that, for 1 month everything was ok. Now seems good aswell, we will see.
Seems like its none of the apps. My phone also completely disconnects from my devices and none of the buttons work (like double press volume button for camera). Have to hold the power button for a while and it starts up.
My Always on display is off
Random phone off was happening before the update and it's still happening after!
Also at times phone send to be so sluggish! 7gb+ram still available at that time.

Ok, this issue together with the reported complaints of dust in camera lens has made me hold on the purchase of this phone.
Isn't there an official ROG II forum where all of you can complain so Asus can look into this issue maybe request dump files and resolve it once and for all?

Well my doesn't randomly turn off and I'm using blockada if that sheds any light...
Also, I don't use Spotify
I have deleted all the apps. Literally done a reset to the factory settings to see what happen and this morning phone turned off again... That's really annoying.
I have found relevant topic on Asus forum: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/12715/rog-phone-2-12-512-freezes-and-auto-restart-problem
Looks like they are not fully aware of the problem....
Is there any update for this case?
I'm experiencing random hangs as well after updated the firmware to the latest. It reads my power button and will shows the options to reboot but the UI is totally not responsive, have to hard reset it Everytime.
Since factory reset everything seems to be fine, however it's just few days since I have done it.
09/12/2019 - I can confirm that after factory reset everything works fine. If anything change I will let you guys know straight away.
02/01/2020 - Annnnnd it's back... After few weeks phone started switching off again and tbh the whole thing intensified. Yesterday phone went off 9 times. On top of that when it's off it drains battery like crazy - 5mins and 20% is gone. Bluetooth doesn't work properly as well. I'm aware that others don't have any problems with ROGII, however I'm afraid that due to personal experience I won't buy Asus phone again and won't recommend it to anyone.
Rog phone 2 turns off automatically
Same problem here happened twice in 2 days everytime phone is off i have to hard restart to switch on the phone
Does anybody got any solution for this problem
Yes I have faced a similar issue since I have updated to android 10 beta. This happened once. I left my phone for charging and the screen blacked out. I had to press the vol up+dwn and power to restore the functionality. Strange.

It happened to me twice in three months. The smartphone got stuck/freeze in standby mode: no response from the physical buttons or touch. I use the official android 9 rom.
I managed to restart it with the power button and volume up/down pressed for 15 seconds.

No apps install in the list nd it randomly switch off my phone it's software issue
Mine started turning off after 1 minute of use. Couldn't stop it nor control it.
Managed to barely get the WhatsApp backup and then factory reset the device. So far things are ok. But setting up from scratch is a pain in the ass.
I suspect that I tried to enable twin apps on WeChat while being on Nova Launcher. That may have triggered something, But I'm not sure.
Was shocked to see the notification this morning, jumped in with the update before leaving for work and seems fine so far. Navigation Bar customization lost for now, Nav Star under Good Lock says they're working on an update so hopefully that takes care of things. Haven't had much time to explore yet but initially phone is much snappier, even after considering it restarts automatically once a week.

Good question, don't really see an update Log. Last update was November so I assume it was SJ1. Updates have been running around 45 to 60 days on this phone.
I will say, and unfortunately not sure this option was around on Pie, but looked up Android 10 tips and enabled Adaptive Power Saving under Device Care / Battery / Power Mode and at least for the first day it seems battery draw has improved. Time will tell.

Yeah it's kind of.....odd.??* I don't even want the beta. I just want to know what the banking schemes are for the firmware itself. It'll give us a hint IF Samsung is leaving towards a bootloader update. Which will help tell us they fixed something nasty from the current bootloader. ?
I think I did register for the Beta so that makes sense, went to the Members Center looking for something else and tapped the icon for it, never got confirmation of anything though. The upgrade notification didn't state it was Beta either. Based on dates per Samsung Phone was probably on SJ1 Pie prior to this. I assumed this was the December 1 patch when it first popped up.
Notification popped up today when opening Settings that this is the Beta, a fact not communicated by Samsung during the update. Went into Settings upon noticing the Phone which was good all weekend today at work without using it started getting hot and draining the battery. Shut it down wiped partition cache a during startup then went into Battery / App Usage and found Camera, which had not been open since last night had used 62.7% of Battery over the past 6:43 hours. Toggled on 'Put App to sleep when not in use' for Camera App and will keep an eye on this along with everything else. All other App Usage seems to be normal. Charging phone now and it has cooled down.
Realize this was the Google Camera acting up that was installed from a link on this forum and mapped to activate by double tapping the Bixby button through BxActions (Samsung Camera activates by double tapping Power Button). Explains why it was acting up after the update. I like the G-Cam night mode and have been comparing the results to the S-Cam night mode including a few shots of Christmas decorations last night.
Updated this Thread Title to reflect what this upgrade actually is. Very happy with this upgrade so far, even though it wasn't labeled as the Beta version in the notification when it first popped up. Only real glitch I've noticed besides the G-Cam battery drain episode which is no fault of Samsung being a sideloaded App, is the settings security page. Phone is setup to require security log on when Settings is opened, currently the security pattern screen flashes then goes to Settings menu without requiring login fingerprint or pattern. Lost Navigation Bar customization I assume will be recovered when NavStar is updated, there is a notification in LockStar that let's you know they're working on an update.
Received another Beta update today.
Another Beta is pending, brings Security Patch up to January 1st, will install tonight.
