When I first bought my Nexus One, everything worked fine, but after about a week (it had been rooted and working fine for a few days), a line-shaped area of the touchscreen stopped working. There was no visible line and everything displayed properly, but no input was registered in this area:
________
|.....I......|
|.....I......|
|.....I......|
|.....I......| (this is the screen, the Is are where the problem occurs. The periods are just so the image will display properly.)
|............|
|_______ |
This problem seems to be hardware-related, as it persists through several OSs, including a nandroid backup I did before the problem started. I can't imagine why it would start after several days though...
Has anyone else been having this problem and if so, is there anything I can do about it?

my nexus 4 is behaving abnormally... the lower part of the screen(1 cm) is unresponsive to touch(tested with pointer location) and sometimes out of the blue the touch input for the entire screen stops working and works after a couple of lock/unlock and the sometimes the phone starts pressing anywhere by itself.... I was running pa latest version... it was working fine ... so i restored the phone to the old pa since i need pie because bottom screen not working= no navbar.... it still didnt work and screen with similar problems. have anyone experienced something like this... is it something with the screen or other hardware parts ... help!
i had this issue with the bottom right side and a irresponsive touch screen at times, it was fine at beforehand, i backup and reflashed and it worked, using PA. it depends if the phone was fine for months before or something that has happened when you first used it. try restore to stock rom and kernel
If you've already done a factory reset, it's likely a hardware problem. You'll probably have to have someone repair it. If you're really desperate, I guess you could try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes, and seeing if that fixes any connection problems. That might just make it worse/cause other problems though. It works with hard drives on occasion.
Every couple of hours my orientation get stuck on portrait. it means I can't play games that uses movement, when take a picture it doesn't recognize that I took it horizontal, my launcher stops rotate and also youtube and the image gallery. you got the picture.
downloaded "android sensor box". nothing happens in "accelerometer" and "orientation".
on CPU-Z sensor test it seems to work (values changes).
restart my phone fix the problem but it stops working again after a couple of hours.
I restart my phone 5 times a day because of this issue.
tried reset using GPS Status --> Tools. didn't work.
tried starting my device on a flat surface till lock screen. didn't work.
any idea what to do? my phone is 2 months old.
thanks.
I found what caused the problem
Just came back to update that I found out what cause this issue.
After full reset to my device, I've noticed that the problem started after installing a certain application from the play store.
It's an Israeli app called "Isracard" (to manage your credit card account).
When I've uninstalled it this problem solved. Reinstall it again brought the problem back.
I've notified the developers. Pretty sure this issue is unique to nexus 4 users because it's a well known app.
So for a couple of weeks everything is working fine.
If anyone else has this issue just try to locate which app caused this mass by enabling / disabling apps one by one and change rotation setting under display settings after each time.
Hi all.
I'm having these days a really weird issue with my G2. It was working fine while I was using 20G update, but after updating to 20H I have an odd issue with my screen. I updated via OTA (first time I do in that way) and it was successful, no errors or problems there. After one or two days I started to have problems with my screen, it was freezing sometimes while I was using an app. In the beginning happened like one per day or two for a few seconds, but now I'm getting annoyed since is like that almost every time I need to use an app.
The problem is that I don't think is a hardware problem like many others had, seems that is a software issue, so that's why I first decided to do a factory reset. Nothing changed, so after that I decided to flash a downloaded .kdz from different zones (20D, 20G, 20H from North of Europe and 20G, 20G from Open Europe). I still have the issue.
I recorded a video about my problem that you can watch here: youtu.be/5rYQiMQtpDg
As you can see, while the app freezes I still can use the sliding bar and bottom side buttons (back, home, menu) and I can open others apps that in a few seconds will freeze too. Sometimes when freeze appears there is a second issue with the screen or touch. Look in the video when I'm drawing lines, you'll see that there is a column in the left side that isn't working (sometimes seems that when I'm drawing in the rest of the screens, some lines or dots appear next to the frame). By the way, my screen don't have any dead zones. When my left column isn't working I still can slide down the upper slider.
Another thing that I saw is not working like should do is the brightness. Every time I switch on my phone is like when I bought it, with 100% brightness that I never use. Seems that my brightness configuration isn't saving or something.
I'm afraid of sending it to repair since is something that is only happening sometimes. I'm sure that they'll install everything and send me back the phone again, saying that they don't see any problem.
Any idea of what's the problem with my G2 or what can I do?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my text. English is not my main language
I searched for this a lot, and found a lot of people experiencing similar things but not exactly what I happen to have. So here is what happens:
1. first screen freezes and you can't touch anything (icons, nav keys)
2. ghost touches start (as if someone touches screen quickly in lots of places), and this causes apps to start at random, numbers are dialed, random strings of characters are being input, etc.
The only thing I can do is to turn off screen, then turn back on and it will unfreeze the screen, and stop ghost touches for a few moments. It will not stop randomly dialed calls so I often have explaining to do to a lot of people why I have called them. In short it's a nightmare. My phone is practically unusable.
It all started just a week ago. I did a factory reset back to the same custom rom - helped for 2 days, and then problem came back. I wiped everything (including internal memory), and flashed a different custom rom - problem appeared within 10 minutes of starting the phone. Both were 5.1 custom roms. Has anyone had this happen?
I found out it can be either faulty screen or battery, but I have no idea how to determine which. I do not want to try replacing one after the other. Is there a way to figure out the cause of the problem?
I will try to take a video of what happens.
My touchscreen stopped working yesterday. The device was booted several times again. Sometime it works again. If the device goes to standby then it may be that the touchscreen no longer responds. If you then reboot the device several times, it works again sometime.
The hardware buttons and the software (CM13) works with no problems. Could anyone help me?
Meanwhile, the problem occurs also during use. For example, just when typing a message.
