I'm having some weird issues with my touch screen. I'm using the Touch Keyboard input method so I can use my thumbs for typing instead of using the stylus all the time.
Very frequently, when i use my thumbs to push buttons near the bottom middle or bottom left of the screen, the start menu auto pops up! It is absolutely driving me mad! I tried to recalibrate the screen, doesn't help. I tried to take off the screen protector and try again, no difference.
Has anyone else has this happen?
Hi,
Yes, it's a common Problem with the Trintiy.
But be happy, that you don't have these Problems.
I have heard, that there are Problems, when the device heats up and the casing pushes on the top-left corner. But with my Trin it only occurs, when I'm tiping something and push a little bit to hard in the middle of the screen. But it doesn't disturb me too badly, as long as it won't get worse.

So it's more of a design issue than anything else? Damnit! I was hoping there'd be some sort of fix or that it was just my phone that was defective somehow.
Sigh, I've never noticed this problem until I started using the soft part of my fingers to type.
Anyways, thanks for your reply.
Every once in a while, the touch screen area at the bottom of the screen by the menu bottom is non reactive. for example when i touch n on the vk, it looks as if im touching h. Is anyone else going through this as well?
just recently my touch screen has problem. when i try to switch screen using touch screen, the screen get stuck half way and shaking. and every time the problem occur, i can't make a selection using touch screen. if i select an icon on the top row, an icon on the bottom row is selected instead.
I've had a few issues lie the two above. I'm not quite sure if it's a hardware of software issue, but resetting the device always seems to work just fine. It's not the best solution, but its better than nothing.
have you tried the VK caliberation tool?
Anyone else having their touch screen stop working property until they have to reboot? It's like it gets way off on where I'm actually clicking.
I have experienced that, but only after I had flashed the modaco rom. I basically returned to stock firmware this morning and am having to re-root my phone...
I have had a couple of occasions where it doesnt seem to respond correctly.
For me its like it looses the calibration, seemed to noticed it when the device is tilted horizontally.
reboot sorts it, only happened once or twice though.
If the phone is in your hand, make sure your other fingers aren't curling over the screen around the edges to much.
I noticed this happening, and backed my fingers off around the edge of the screen and it started working fine immediately.
I think the screen is just extra sensitive.
Curious if that helps.

I read somewhere (maybe on this forum even) that non-multi-touch systems have this problem. Have the same issue with my HTC Magic, but after a while you learn of a way to use the device single-handed while not touching the screen.
I dont know if this helps or not but I have no idea what you guys are talking about

The calibration problem (the screen registers a wrong spot than where you touched) comes up if you try to use a non-multi-touch phone single-handedly, so part of your palm (between the thumb and index fingers) touches the edge of the touch screen. Especially if you are trying to reach a top area of the screen while holding the phone with just that hand, likely some part of the palm touches the bottom of the screen.
If you want to try having the problem, you can touch the edge of the screen with a finger and try to click a link with another. It won't register the right spot.
Supposedly the problem should go away as soon as you lift that body part up from the screen.... so I don't know if this helps the OP or not.

does not look like its happening all the time. Ran few tests and still can't duplicate the problem in order to find the cause. so far this happened about 3-4 times on my phone.
i hope this gets resolved soon and that its not the touchscreen issue.

I've had this exact thing happen to me a few times. I notice the tip of a finger on the edge of the screen, move it, then it works fine right after. Sometimes happens with the base of my thumb hitting the bottom left corner too.
Just make sure you're not accidentally touching any of the touch area and it'll work fine.
same here

Touch Screen Stops Working

I have had this same issue on my G1 as well a N1. This problem only happens from time to time, as happes with stock ROMs and custom ROMs.
For the N1, I was initial pulling the battery; however, I have found that if I hold the power button down (don't let go) and then touch the screen to unlock or power if off.
I have a friend with the Eris who was having the same problem; Verizon released a patch earlier in the week that seems to have solved the problem for him.

You can perform a soft reset on the Nexus One by holding volume down, the trackball, and pressing the Power button on top. A half second later, your phone will reboot.
I am also having these touch screen problems, and I can confirm I am not touching any other part of the screen to have it interfere with the non-touch-screen interface. I been testing with what people has been saying on here with having any other part of the screen being pressed, so I have been testing it out and I can say its a different response then what I'm experiencing.
Here is what is going on with my nexus one:
1) it happens at random times (my device is on my table and I am pressing buttons with one finger)
2) it only affects the bottom-left portion of the screen when it happens, touching everywhere else is fine
3) it thinks I'm pressing an area around the soft keys, an example is if I press 'A' it thinks I press either the '?123' or the 'back' button, same if I press 'd' it thinks I'm pressing the 'menu' button.
I can conclude that since not all nexus one owners has this problem it is a device issue, which what is going on is probably the same as if someone was accidentally pressing a part of the screen, but it could be part of the device is assembled incorrect or deformed. The physical form of my phone is off on the right side, I can feel the gray plastic part next to the black border next to the right of the screen is a little more raised then the left side.
But there is my experience with whats going on to me and my two cents.
Ive had this a little bit on my device as well, but I think it's a software issue since it went away when I pressed the home button.
edit:
Also it has happened exclusively in Dolphin browser
here too
Sporadically, it happens with my N1 as well. When pointing at the middle of the screen (in a list for example), the input registers 2 cm below my fingertip. Rebooting fixes this temporarily but it is annoying.
A SW update could perhaps cure this behaviour?

I just had this happen for the first time, all my presses were registering way below where i was touching, tilting into landscape in an app then back to portrait fixed it for me.
So now it happened to me too. I have the Nexus One for almost two weeks and I never had the unresponsive touchscreen. Of course I noticed that the center of the softbuttons is shifted upwards and that they don't register very well in the middle where they should and I had the problem before that the sms text input box didin't registered in the center so that the keyboard wasn't popping out but that is all only a problem of adjustment. Today in the morning after my phone was on standby over night I put in the charger to charge it and I got an email with pictures. I scrolled through the email and all of a sudden the screen became totally unresponsive. I tried to scroll and the screen registered at a complete different place. All of a sudden the email was gone because the phone registered the delete button even though I never pressed it. I could close the gmail program but I had a hard time to scroll between the home screens and the live wallpaper became unresponsive too. I decided to do a restart but I had a hard time to press the shutting down button because it was unresponsive too. This all happened not after heavily usage of the phone but after maybe 1 minute usage.
I am sure that I didn't touch another part of the screen when this occured because I realized before already that the screen becomes wacky if you touch it at two different places (lack of multitouch, so stupid to disable it). I hope that this is a software issue too. I can live at the moment with the 3G problem because it doesn't stop me from using the phone. The unresponsive touchscreen scares me more because because it becomes completely unusable.
i've noticed this with low battery. Twice its happened to me, the first time was when i first recieved the handset. and secondly was this morning when my phone was off with no battery again.
anybody want to leave their battery to empty out and try test if this is correct?
I've had this happen a few times in the ten days i've had the phone. I always make sure I'm not double dipping on the screen, and its easy to do since it will exhibit this behavior for a few minutes.
In my experience battery level has no effect on it.
A reboot always fixes the issue.
I figure it's software based.
Hello
I have 2 months old LG Nexus 4 and I have a problem with touch screen. These is a field in a buttom of the screen whitch is not reacting on touch. I ca touch it 100 times and nofthing happens it is not respondint to anything even harder touches.
so the field is here
shrani.najdi.si/?2k/2D/4dhib9sI/screenshot2012-11-04-14-.jpg
under these field and above is screen working normaly. now i want to know if is these maybe a softwere bug or is these a hardwer one and i should take the phone on the serverice, btw the phone never fall or anything else.
Thank you for advices.
Try going to developer options, enabling here "Pointer Location" and then swype across the screen a few times so there will be a long blue line (it's important to move your finger on the screen near that faulty place). If your finger suddenly stops drawing that blue line then it's definitely a hardware problem.
Hi ppl my E7 start giving a few toutch screen problems a few days ago. At fist it start unlocking the screen and opening apps and doing calls on its own when on my pocket what it never did before since i bought him months ago. The when i was playing heartstone the toutch screen become totaly crazy no leting me do any grab and drag options e clicking screen at randow :S After a few turn screen on/off it become ok again.. But after a few minutes it hapend again :S when form tha moment it was never the same.. sometimes stops from responding other can do the drag up action to unlock screen others cant drag items others it just starts clicking like crazy on screen on its own.. Had a few power on/off.. Problems continues.. Had a factory reset problem seem a little better but not much.. juxt stop clicking on its own now but cant do drag actions across full screen. Now i installed a toutch screen test app. Found that a part of the screen is not responding (or is responding really really bad like a dozen pixels only in a finger from top to buttom size area) in a paint test... the lenght of a finger.. from top to bottoum near the middle screen (Landscape mode). Cold it be a software issue on the rom ? i did installed some suspecius software (im rooted) a few times could it have damage the rom or the touch drivers or controls in a way the reseting it wont fix? could installing other rom fix it ? Could it be that the screen got out of calibration or something like that ? or its really an hardware issue ?
if its hardware is it cheaper just to exchance the touch screen since the screen doesnt have a single scrach? Or replacing the touch panel is the expansive part when screen breaks? Please any idea is welcome even if little help. Thx for any answer in advance and sorry for my bad english :S im Portuguese
