Hi,
can anyone shed any light on this mystery? Suddenly, my Jasjar seems to have touchscreen problems and only recognises "calendar" and "contacts" no matter where I tap (e.g. if I tap on the left side it's calendar, on the right it's contacts). Keyboards works fine.
I tried to install the latest ROM and maybe fix the problem, but now I cannot get past the display calibration as it seems to go in circles. Looks to me this could be mechanical, but nothing drastic happened to the phone.... STRANGE...
Looks like you answered your own problem here. If you reinstalled all the software on the device, the problem can't be software, can it? :wink:
Should be covered by the warranty.
Hey bandit,
What did you do? Did you get yours fixed? Mine does the same thing, only intermittently. I sent it in to Topps and I suppose it started working again, but I guess it was working correctly when they received it, because they sent it back to me still malfunctioning.
hi
needed jumper for i mate jasjar touch
I just wanted to open this topic up. I've been having problems running tomtom:
It seems that the buttons (including the joystick) stop responding. The only workaround i've found for it tapping the power button (or home button and clicking on tomtopm icon again). This makes jumps back to tomtom but activated the buttons for a few seconds...then nothing until the process is repeated the process.
I am followed the instructions in the "WM6 ROM for Typhoon(Rom Ready For Download)" thread heading. I am using sp3i smartphone.
thanks for any input.
Interesting notice and I'm not sure what to make of it.
I installed Pocket Controller-Pro 6 (for my sp3i). While running Pocket Controller-Pro on the PC it shows you what you should be seeing on the device itself (like a copy of lcd screen but its your computer). When I launch tomtom all the correct screens, prompts show up in Pocket Controller-Pro view on my pc. I can naviagate through different menus etc...
But on the phone itself the display is not changing at all (it is at wm6 home screen and stays there) I wonder if this is wm6 phone lcd resolution question...apparently tomtom is running perfectly (but for whatever reason it is not showing on the screen of the phone)
Just dug my c500 out for a change from my Vario Flashed to WM6 and mine is doing the same
possible fix
I just flashed wm6 from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323668
and tomtom seems to work okay...but have not had a chance to run it too much.

THE PROBLEM of WM6 and TomTom 5.20 on Feeler (ANDOT image I have try) is:
THE DISPLAY DON'T TURN OFF: SO TT5 WORK GOOD, but BATTERY DESCARGE VERY FAST!!!
So you can use only for a short travel!!
this will be my 4th fone from t mobile, but unfortunatley is now out of waranty,,,everything was fine and working ok til last week, i used the tomtom on it and left it in the car for a few days, took it out and it wont work at all now..
it switches on and lads up, but as it loads the screen has little lines on the boot up screen , then it shows the windoes screen then i get the main screen,,
as soon as i select a program to use the screen frezes and fades away
and i cant do anything with it unless i remove the battery,,,
can anyone help????
many thanks
this can be either a hardware or software problem.if its a hardware problem you cant do anything about it except getting it fixed.if its a software problem try flashing another ROM or try a hard reset
put new rom in and reset it,,,still the same...
could it be the procesor???
Hi there,
Just wanted to run this issue past you guys with my htc tattoo. Basically, sometimes my touch screen just doesn't respond to touch input at all, the phone still woks using the buttons but that's all. its random as to when it does it and it can go a week or so working fine.
I've tried re calibrating it (when its working) but the problem still comes back. I didn wonder if the screen was faulty, but its not all the time?
Its still on the original (orange)rom, ive never put an unofficial rom on it.
Could it be a loose connection inside the phone,ive no other screen issues.
I have reset the phone back to factory defaults before but this doesn't stop the issue from coming back
Any help/advice would be great
Regards, Chris
Hello, suddenly my softkeys stopped working, I already tried doing a factory reset, reflash a different rom, but still no go.
What's strange is that even on landscape mode the keys dont work.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with the touch screen since the touch screen works fine as long as the soft keys aren't present.
Any help? Thnx!

Hi Salvy,
Did you flash a mod or another kernel?
It's a very common problem with the Nexus 4. I've been using paranoid android pie for 6 months to work around the issue. I can confirm that it is a hardware issue and not a software problem. A quick Google search can tell you that.

Got the same damn problem. I would normally use a smart phone for at least 18 months but the Nexus 4 only lasted 14 months. I was hoping to use it till the Nexus 6 came out but after sending it off to be fixed, using a dumb phone for 10 days and the phone came back with the same problem, I had to go buy a Nexus 5
My soft keys work in portrait but not in landscape. I enabled the 'show touches' option in developer mode and I can see the lower 4mm of the screen isn't registering any touch. Do a quick search on Google and you'll find there are loads of people out there with the same problem. The only solution is to change the screen and I haven't seen anyone manage to get it changed under warranty . I have sent it back and expect them to fleece me off £100 for a new screen.
Disappointed with the quality of the N4 but I had no choice but to get the N5 even though it is also by LG cause once you go Vanilla, you cant go back

Check out the guide below and hopefully you can avoid replacing your nexus 4 screen or digitiser

Ok. so I have been told by the LG service centre in Mumbai that this happens when an android update doesnt get installed properly, it definately is an android update problem according to the service centre. But since i am out of warranty by @ DAYS I have to pay Rs. 5300 for no fault of mine... ****ed up!!!
I found a solution somehwere on the internet!!
I had this problem for the last day this is the solution.
Download the application: GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys ★ root
Use it, toy with it and restart your phone. And it just works.
This worked with unrooted phones aswell, as the solution said. I don't know.
Your welcome!

I paid Rs 4700 which includes service charge, taxes etc in addition to the cost of the screen+ digitiser. The guys at service center dont have separate screen and digitiser but just both of them as single replacement. I just hoped that they could have better service centers and support, but you cant help.
Using `wm` command on phone via ADB shell to add an blank border on screen

I used virtual buttons for awhile, but in the end, discovered a way to do it without rooting, so long as you have the `adb` command line tool installed for development, and don't restart your phone that often:
From a command-line termal:
```
# Log into a device connected via USB.
# (Look for a tutorial on using adb, as it need some config on the phone)
adb shell
# Change the screen "overscan" using the window manager tool on the phone:
wm overscan 0,0,0,80
```
The trick is that, overscan essentially adds a buffer (black bar) on any side of the screen for positive numbers. (the screen extends "offscreen" for negative ones.) `wm --help` will show you that the accepted format of overscan is:
```
wm overscan [reset | LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]
```
ie. you can either reset it to default, or set any border. In my case, I set the bottom border to 80 pixels, and that was enough to avoid the non-responsive section of the touch screen.
Of course, I assume this reset on reboot, but haven't tried yet. If it does, I'm sure someone can figure out a clever way to make it persist
Anyhow, hopefully this helps!
Found the issue and got it fixed
It worked for me. I had the same Problem and it occur when i bought new power cable. The i plugged the original blackberry micro usb cable for power up and it started working for me. Its weird but the cause of the problem is when i plugged the cheap micro USB.
Note:- this is my first update to any forum just to help people if someone has the same problem as mine.

Yes,it could be a microusb,i was in a hurry two day's ago and took one problematic microusb cable,when i put it to charge touchscreen has gone mad,it was ghost touches,slow respond,all until i turned it off,then after reboot my softkeys stopped to work,it was such for a whole day,i tried to remove batt and discharge pressing power button for 1 minute but nothing,cleared cache,uninstall app,but nothing...so i discharged it completely,took hairdryer and heated it for 45sec,and then charged overnight. In the morning soft keys worked....
This worked for me very good altought still present some softkeys bug (but just turn off the screen and turn on again and works again).
Look on google for nexus-4-navfix (gkraynov)

I have recently traded my NEXUS 4 and now own a Grand X Max Plus. Thank you for your help.
found solution in Chroma ROM
Hi Guys, was using CM 13 Android M, Soft keys stopped working. Tried flashed with multiple CM 13 nightly. No luck. Finally installed Chroma ROM. Over there keys are working fine.
I experienced this issue tonight and was able to fix it quickly.

Issue:
-Softkeys not working when located on the side of the screen closest to the charging port. Softkeys would work when the screen was rotated such that the softkeys were located on the side of the screen closest to the headphone jack.
Device:
-Nexus 4 running 5.1.1
Conditions:
-Battery was 85%-90% charged
What fixed the issue:
-Plugged the phone into a USB charger. I did not use a Nexus charger; I used a random LG charger I had laying around.
-Pressed and held the power button for 30 seconds. The phone powered off after ~10 seconds. Shortly after the phone powered off, the notification light flashed red for the remainder of the 30 seconds.
-Powered the phone back on. When the phone was finished booting up, the softkeys worked again.
What didn't work:
-Restarting the phone multiple times
-Restarting into Safe Mode
-Disabling Chrome (Settings >> Apps >> Chrome >> Disable)
