Bottom of Screen Does Not Calibrate

I recently purchased an MDA off ebay from another member on this site. They claimed everything on it was fine, but upon receiving it I found that the bottom of the screen didn't respond. After playing with the calibration I found that the bottom of the screen wasn't completely "dead" it just thinks its being tapped on a different spot of the screen. The seller claims this is a software issue, but after several flashes from different roms the problem still persists. Has anyone else seen this happen? And does this sound like a hardware issue?
I opened notes and took a picture of what happens when trying to use the scrollbar in landscape mode to show how off the calibration is at the bottom. Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this.

I had this EXACT same problem. I had the mistake of pushing down too hard while applying a screen protector and it pushed in the screen on the bottom. From that point, I could never calibrate the bottom of the screen. I was able to get a replacement, because I told Cingular that it was broken and it was only a month into my contract.
So, I think the guy probably messed up applying a screen protector or accidently somehow pushed in the bottom of the screen. This is in no way a software problem....deff hardware issue.

Thanks for the response. I filed a claim with paypal for a refund. With the way that it was packed I'm amazed the phone works at all!

Im sorry to hear someone trying to get over on you. Hope everything works out.

Problem with X1 Panels

Since installing spb3 i was having problems with it eating the battery.
long story short is I done a hard reset on my phone, and reinstalled spb3 and a few other progs.
the problem I am now getting is my 'normal' panels aren't working, and freeze the phone if I go into them.
I have hard reset twice since, and tried to access them without loading the spb3 shell, but to no avail.
what could the problem be, as it's really bothering me having a phone with these great panels.... that now don't work.
the panels I seem to be having problems with are (from internet sourced pics, not my own)

the middle one on the top line, and the second one on the middle line.
when I try to go into them, the phone freezes, and the only way to cure it is to do a soft reset with the stylus into the wee hole behind the cover.
please help me, as I loved my X1 until all this started happening.
It has only occurred since installing spb3 a few days ago
thanks in advance

Not too sure on what the exact problem is, but it may have something to do with a few dll's conflicting.
Best bet is to backup whaterver data you need, and reflash the rom so that everything's restored to default.
Sorry if it doesn't help, rmb to Hard-SPL before using a cooked rom!

thanks for your advice there mate,
how could i go about reflashing the ROM? can you point me in the right direction?
and what does Hard-SPL mean? sorry for being a newb!

Phone reboots/shuts down

Hello you all peeps
I noticed some weired things happening to my phone. Sometimes when I want to use my phone I need to put in my PIN, never realised what it was.
10 minutes ago I received a text message, i read it and ploooops, my phone was rebooting out of nothing. After that my phone is working again, but watch this:

}
There's just a part gone, I know it was there before the reboot. Now i realize that i already had this issue a few times before.
Does anybody know where this strange thing come from?
Oh, I am running Litening rom with CF kernel, not sure if i had this issue before flashing the rom.

I had exactly the same thing on KE7. My phone rebooted itself at least once a day. I tried uninstalling and disabling all the apps I could think of but nothing resolved it.
Eventually, I performed a factory reset which has resolved the issue - it's now been running for 3 days without a reboot.

I had a spontaneous reboot only once - phone was overheating due to well, me messing around :-D
Check if heat is not a problem du to a runaway process

The heat is not a issue since it rebooted too when i didn't use the phone.
I deleted some Samsung bloatware too, perhaps that is the problem. Will do a factory reset, but not for now.
Good(?) to hear I'm not the only one with this problem

Same problem here, but i think it's related with the known bug of "suspend" and events/0 process and there is nothing to do but waiting for a fix :/

Already set up my rma... lasted for about 30 mins (reboot, turned off, still there) and while I was on phone with google, it mysteriously disappeared. Anyone else in same boat? Search is disabled currently

Seems like a software bug to me. It didn't affect the notification area and the nav.
Probably sothing to do with the video controler?
Really weird

Try a factory reset and see if that solves it. You already have an RMA on the way so you might as well test different possible solutions.

You see looking at the picture, I thought it didn't affect those areas too... but I swore it did. I think it was just more visible on the drop down area. Of course I cannot remember now since it is gone...

Dead vertical strip on phone

Hello guys, yesterday at night I noticed that a small spot on my screen wasn't working. It had J and N soft keys included, I got kind of mad, but just tried to reboot the phone, after rebooting it was fine again for some time, then it just stopped working again. I made a factory reset for the phone and just put it to charge while all the apps that I had were downloading. I wake up in the morning and bam, the vertical line, which used to be like a square on the lower side of screen is all throughout the screen now, rebooting doesn't help... I know that it's most likely a hardware problem, but this nexus is like 2-3 years old so no warranty for me so I'm looking for different solutions... Has anyone encountered this and knows how to solve it?

Upadate:
Soooo, I went outside to work, and when I come back BOOM it's working again, I'm happy, using the phone normally and then boom, massive unstoppable clicks began on one spot, they lasted for like 15seconds (they were all on a single spot) and when they stopped the stripe was dead again... I guess it's hardware playing with me but I'm less and less sure that it's the digitizer itself... Any ideas?

I guess your phone was dropped.
Coz my friend's were having similar symptoms. He took it to repair centres they said display need to be changed etc. He better purchased other cheaper android phone.

Had a similar issue. It will get progressively worse over time. I got mine RMAd by Google.
