Has Anyone Else Had This Problem?

Okay I've been having this issue since I got my Nexus a couple of weeks ago. Several times a day I'll go to take it out of my pocket or pick it up off a table and when I go to hit the unlock button at the top nothing happens, the screen never wakes up. The trackball will still be lighting up as always but nothing on the screen. I have to pull the battery in order to get it to reboot so I can use it.
Due to this issue and getting dust under my screen I called HTC for a replacement. I got my replacement yesterday and got it all set up again. Within the first 2 hours I picked it up off my table and it wouldn't wake up. And this has probably 4 times since I got the phone yesterday.
Is ANYONE have this issue? I think it's a little weird it happened on my original device and now on my replacement.

Never happened to mine so far that I have noticed. Not that this information helps you any but...

ive bought 2 for me and one for a friend. None have any issues at all so far

I haven't had this problem...
just for the hell of it have you tried restoring it.

you bought 2 for yourself and one for your friend? Can I be your friend?

Maybe you're just not pushing the button hard enough, or you need to find a "sweet spot."
I've never had this issue. Is it possible that you have installed an application that could be the issue?

i had this problem too for the first time last night. My notification light was flashing... pressing power button did not wake up.... I even long pressed power buttoin in the hope of getting the shutdown option, but nothing... i did a quick google search to see if there was a way of soft resetting, but couldnt find one, so pulled out the battery.
Its been fine since

No I only bought one of them but had to do an exchange on it because of it not waking up and the screen was getting dust under it. The exchange I got in the mail is still doing the wake up thing.
It's not due to pushing the button wrong I know that much haha. I'm a pretty skilled button presser
Well at least one person knows what I'm talking about. Let me know if it happens to you again

I have 2 nexus ones and one of then does have this issue. I have had it happen 3 to 5 times.

Have you rooted either of them? I'm thinking it's some type of software glitch that might be fixed once new ROMs get cooked up but I've been holding off on rooting to preserve my warranty because of this issue.

Never had that problem.
Just so the forum doesn't just fill up with complaints.

iv been having this prob with the mt3g, tmobile is sending me a new phone im thinking its the htc keyboard apk or the nexus news widget apk, i have never had this problem till i put these two apps on my mt3g

Oh man! I thought I was the only one with this issue! It sometimes a couple of times a day and it's extremely inconvenient! I thought maybe my phone had gotten too hot and it froze or something but I could never figure out why it really happened. Mine is also rooted so maybe that's the issue? I hope someone finds the cause of this problem and even better, a solution, soon. It's pretty annoying, and one of the very few things that I don't like about my new partner.

I must be a lucky sob,beacause my nexus has no problems at all, working vib, no dust under screen, all buttons work, no problems at all (knocks on wood)

I'm having one issue and it can be annoying. Sometimes my screen just doesn't respond and if it does it's miles off. like if I press in the middle, the menu pops up as if the calibration is off by an inch or so. The annoying part is when a call comes in and I can't slide to answer which makes me miss a proper button.
My N1 is not rooted and a reboot normally sorts it out.
Edit: I forgot to mention that this almost always happens after I plug the charger like it is now arrrrgghhhhhhh.

I'm not having any issue with power on button and my N1 is not rooted (yet).

[Q] Digitizer unresponsive?

I got up this morning, grabbed my tablet, switched it on and found that no matter what, it wouldn't respond to touch input.
Hoping I could sort of "kick it" by using a keyboard I plugged one in and while that worked fine, it didn't unstick the digitizer.
Had to reboot.
Anyone else seen this?

I've had this happen once or twice, and as you mentioned the only way to get it to respond was by a reboot.

oooooo.... never happened to me for the full 6 day since i have this tab i suggest you turn then for replacement....

just remembered something are you guys by any chance use screen filter? that causes touch problems in some spots....

I'm using it on my phone but but not the iconia

its has happen twice in the last two days. Usually when the tab is left for a while hours. You're right the only way to unlock is to reboot.

Na, I'm not using a screen filter. It happened twice in the first couple of days of owning it and hasn't happened for the last couple of weeks. I've had the same thing happen on the Desire HD a couple of times as well. It doesn't happen very often so I'm not overly concerned.

Jup, sometimes the screen doesn't respond. I found that if you rotate it (even with the lock on) and then turn on the device the screen wants to rotate and will then be unresponsive. Reboot and all is fine. Seems like a software bug to me.

Just in case you haven't done so, remove the sticker on the right border. It has a metallic back and interferes with the screen. I had that happen on a display model at BB twice withing 10 minutes. Once I removed it, no more problems. And I haven't had any problems with my purchased one.
A friend of mine bought one online and complained about the same thing. I told him to remove the sticker and the issue went away.

the sticker on mine was removed in the first five minutes. haven't had the problem again yet. hope it was a fluke

Brand New (pretty sure) Transformer Screen Issue

I just got my transformer in a few days ago, bought it off of a store on eBay that I HAVE ordered from before. All the plastic was on the device and everything, thank god I haven't flashed custom ROM. Just a few minutes ago my girl was playing pinball when the screen started going NUTS on her. The screen started flashing on and off and then colored waves of pixels started passing through random bits of the screen. The game stayed in the background while all this happened I guess on top of it. It just kept doing it and would act like it was going to stop for a second then happen again. Finally I was able to turn it off after having to time my ninja-like finger jabs with the screen flicker. I waited a few minutes and turned it on again. The ASUS screen popped up and then went black for a minute, I pressed the power button quickly and the Eee pad screen popped up and then went into the lock screen. Everything seemed normal for 2-3 minutes, I downloaded a quick dead pixel detector app and everything passed fine. I just rooted last night using Razorclaw, so I checked my superuser to make sure there were no problems (just in case) and it needed an update. I did so and checked it, because it kept force closing auto-open apps when the tablet booted, after the update those apps opened fine (titanium and rom toolbox). right after this, maybe about total 7 or 8 minutes after booting, the screen began flashing again as I was trying to uninstall the dead pixel app. eventually she timed her own finger jabs with the demon screen flicker and clicked OK to uninstall app. as it was uninstalling the screen started working fine. right after it was done uninstalling (bout 30 seconds), what do you know, the bloody ( i love that word) screen started being crackhead-ish again. Its turned off now. Does anyone have any prior experience with this issue? I will contact the razorclaw team to ask them if maybe its a side effect, but I just wanted to see if any of you folk knew anything about this. It IS a newer B70 model and I do have another 5 days to ship it for a return from the seller. I'm pretty sure I will unless I get a response with a sure fix for this being software or something. Also while I've got your attention, I'm under the impression I can boot to stock recovery to factory reset? hopefully at least.... and if I do so, please tell me this will remove root access?
Thanks much in advance for your answers, which I'm sure there will be some useful info as usual with XDA.

UPDATE: MY tablet won't turn on now.

Best option, return the defect peice..
Hey .. if you have 5 days to return to the shipper, go ahead and return the defect piece. My wild guess is that it has no connection to the software installed or rooted, its mostly an hardware issue (first of its kind though).
I have not faced any screen related issues with my B80 version...
Return this & Get Prime
Cheers,
Amrth

i do agree with the guy above,
write what hapend and return it, and in hope that they can fix it, if not u will get a brand new or the money back.
My TF101 works flaviously and it's something i wanted and even with custom rom its more better and funnier, so yeah, thats a hardware issue or some "wrong made tablet"

Can't unlock - just relocks and goes black

My rooted 32GB has just started doing this (2nd time this has occurred now). When I try to unlock, it just makes a click sound and relocks and blacks the screen. The first time resolved itself. Not sure if a reboot will help (probably so), but wondering if anyone has seen this or has any suggestions.

Is there any magnet near the N7? (if you have case, maybe the it is not working to well, most of the case is not prepared for daily use )
Ábel

Does the screen turn on and everything looks fine, but there is no touch response at all? Do the hard buttons prompt the menu's like power down and volume control but there is absolutely no touch input? I am asking these questions because if it is doing this you are having the same issue as me, I had been working on this issue for a solid month with absolutely no luck and the issue kept getting more frequent.I have re-flashed stock Google images both 4.1 and 4.2 with absolutely no luck. After the clean installs I did not root it I left the it completely stock and the issue is still there, also I thought it may have been my Poetic magnet case, well i took it out of the case and it still does it. I even removed my $20.00 dollar Steinheil Ultra Crystal Screen Protector thinking that may have something to do with it but that's not the issue. After every reboot it will work fine, so I was completely frustrated and could not find that many people on line with this issue. I finally had to send mine back to ASUS and they stated it was a screen assembly issue and they could replicate the problem, well I got it back last week and five minutes after booting it up the issue is still there so needless to say I have to RMA it again. What really bugs me is the Nexus 7 worked fine for two months not one problem then, I left it in a cabinet for 2 days without touching it and that's when the issue started and it has just gotten worse.
I apologize for the long story if this is not your issue but I just wanted to save you a lot of hassle if it is.

My issue isn't as complicated, fortunately for me. The screen is black (even though cover, with magnet, is open). I hit the power button once to get the screen to light up and slide the unlock. It looks normal but only flashes for an instant, then makes the click and the screen goes black again.
It self resolved again, so I actually am suspecting that it could be that when the case is folder over, the magnet may possibly be causing this. So thanks for that suggestion. Next time it happens I'll be looking specifically for that to see if I can narrow it down.

Phone suddenly freezes, not responsive, cant unlock?

Hope someone can help on this one.
In the last 3 weeks I have had events where the phone becomes non-responsive. What I mean is that it will not unlock by finger sensor, and the lock screen will not slide up to enter pin. The phone shows at the bottom of the lock screen the 3 icons for locked, camera and something else but, can not get it to swipe. If i reboot sometimes it does and sometimes it does not solve the problem. If it does it, I have to power off the phone, wait a few seconds and power back on. Other times the phone gets hung up on the volume level screen will trying to adjust up or down but, not movement and locks the screen and becomes non-responsive. Also, during this time, it tends for the phone to get warm. Other times if I leave the phone alone for a few minutes, it tends to settle down and fix itself?????? I never get an "android stop working" like message either.
The phone is stock unrooted from day one from BB but, now I am over 15 days and can not return or exchanged. Went by BB today since I am Elite Silver member and see what they could do. They suggested have the geek squad look at it but, I do not trust those guys to even power my phone off. The other option they mentioned was to send back to Huawei.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Elite status extends your return window to 30 days. Tell them you want a new unit.
