when i touched the screen using my finger thumb in certain area of touch screen(middle), the start menu automatically drop down
i tried my friend's unit as well, also got this problem. anyone got this problem?
Yes, i have to this problem!
how u gonna solve it? seem like this model got this problem...just it seldom happen or frequently happen
I've the same problem too! But I've send it to HTC care (I'm in HK) to repair two times. First time they change the mother broad but the problem's still there; then I send it back the second time, they change the screen as well.
I've got it back for 3 days and the start up menu didn't pop up itself. Hope it won't happen again.....
I have been experiencing the same problem for some time now.
I've had this device for about 5 months and I have been treating it very nice.
Whenever I touch a certain area of the screen (which I haven't been able to figure out yet), the Start Menu pops out, which is very annoying, to say the last. It especially drives me nuts when trying to compose something using CooTek's TouchPal.
All in all, I do not know whether this is a hardware problem or not. I'm not very sure this is covered by warranty...
same problem here, touch screen changed 2 times by htc
i take to service center, they help me changed the motherboard as well but the problem still there...i think need them to help me change the screen as well...
second changed the lcd touch screen, still got that problem but less already
happen once a day sometimes 2 days once
anyone what the problem?
Hey guys, Im having this weird problem. I don't know if its software or hardware related.
I SOMETIMES loose touch functionality when I lock the screen using the "end" key.
What happens is, When I press the end key to wake it from sleep, the touch screen is not functioning. So I have to press the end key again to lock it and wake it up again to see if it works. Its a hit or miss. Sometimes I get it back sometimes I dont. I tried Resetting, Soft and Hard. Wiped the SD too.
This also happens in WM too. Any one know whats going on?
any input would be appreciated.

This thread addresses that issue
if you are using advantage task killer or autokiller, don't use "kill apps when screen off" or " start on boot"...
Auto killer isn't a kill app. It just sets androids natural kill ability a little more aggressive

Thanks guys but it seems to be a Hardware issue. At one point in an HD2's life the digitizer will give out.
Seems like the only thing I can do is try to replace the digitizer myself as I do not have warranty.
Thanks guys
This is happening to me too, thought it was just my HD2...
Moved you over to general were this non dev issue belongs
This happens to me only on Android not Windows.. tmo US hd2

Same thing happened to me. This is my thread explaining it:

unfortunately it is a hardware problem and your digitizer will completely die soon.
Mine is being done under warranty but if you will do it yourself these official teardown and repack videos will provide helpful:

I really like my LG E900 phone. I bought it for AT&T in the USA unlocked on Amazon. Installed Mango recently with all the firmware upodates and until today been having a lot of fun with my phone!
All of a sudden today, the touch screen seems un-responsive. The touch screen works intermitently. It starts to work then stops again. I have tried resetting the phone (have to pull battery). I wasn't doing anything when I this happended. I recently installed Tango and Livestrong mobile app, otherwise phone was flawless.
1. Is my touch screen broken?
2. Does anyone have a clue. I thought maybe the phone is running apps in backround but I can't seem to find the problem. The battery seems to drain also.
3. The phone does become operation for minutes at a time but then goes bad.
I wanted to add that the screen is also very slow at first then starts to respond normally. Almost seems to something happening in the backround. As of now, the screen is still not responding. If I continue to play with the screen, sometimes the screen starts to respond, but slowly.
thanks for help!!
In your position, I would try to:
1. Use the guaranty (if it's still active) and take it to a local service
2. Flash a different rom/firmware with all the latest updates inside and see what happens.
3. Buy a new e900...they cost less than ever nowadays...(almost 180€-190€ without a contract...)
You have got to be kidding me, the exact same thing is happening to me, and for 2 days now. I'm unbranded (I believe) on Vodafone Spain. The entire phone has become unresponsive. Drops nearly every call, has rebooted about 50 times in the last 24h.
fUnny thing is, it doesn't ever reboot when I'm actively using it, just during lock screen.
cOuld you further develop your symptoms just in case we have the same issue? Thnx

More Detail about the LG E900 WP7 Lock Screen issue
OK. SO here are the symptoms-
- Whenever I enter the lock screen, the touch is screen does not respond. TO be clear the touch screen senses I am touching the screen but the lock screen doesn't move when swipe.
Ater some research you can find the SAME EXACT error on HTC Surrround Samsung Focus. here's the youtube video. exactly as it appears except time to unlock takes about 2:30 (2 minutes 30 seconds) on my LG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3QABdcTINc
So here is what happens and what I do
1. Again entering the lock screen, and attempting to unlock the touch doesn't reposnd to any swipes.
2. You continue to swipe and occasionaly hit the physical buttons. This keeps the lock screen on. You have to keep swiping for about 2:30. After 2:30, the touch screen just seems to respond.
3. After the touch screen responds. Nothing out of the ordinary. When I tried using IE, it seemed that IE didn't work as well. Pinch to zoom, swipes not as good. Also portions of the screen are not as responsive.
So maybe start looking for a replacement.
I've tried
- restoring previous OS and files. No change.
- Hard and factory reset. No change.
- changing the brightness setting (AUTO, low) no change
The only thing that I haven't done is upgrade/downgrade the firmware. I think that may help but not clear on what to do.
Are you using the correct charger?
I have an HP Touchpad that has a high output microUSB charger for rapid charging of the Touchpad's battery. Although it hasn't (yet?) given my e900h any troubles, I did read at least one report of a guy's Samsung phone reacting poorly with symptoms similar to yours after using the Touchpad's higher output charger.
I am using a third party USB charger. Not a high power one, but an inexpensive one from monoprice. Ok, I will try.

Some people have reported errors and crazy system behavior when using third party chargers...
Still no luck. Using stock charger now. Will wait to see if any improvements. Thanks everyone.

I was one of them. This behaviour would occur with the charger connected.
I get the feeling the problem the OP and I are facing is also related to chargers, but no longer when they are connected. Charging makes no difference for me, the phone is still reacting very strange.
More Info on failiong touch screen
So
Here are more precise deets
- Whenever the backlight is turned off, the touch screen becomes non-responsive
- The touch screen notices touch but not swiping.
- in order to get the touch screen to respond you must continue touch the screen for 00:02:30 (2 minutes, 3 sec).
- the touch screen will usuallly start to respond to swipes but only a single axis (e.g. vertical or horizontal)
- after 2:30 the touch screen responds like everything is ok.
- the goal is to make sure the screen backlight stays on until the for 2:30. In some lock screen cases, you can issue a voice command, camera etc which effectly keeps the phone one (i.e backlight on) for longer without having to continuously touch.
- issues came after tangoi install and livestrong install.
- wonder if tango did something to lock screen
- also tried changing lock screen wallpaper - no changes
- when installing microsoft insider app, I tried using the wallpapers, but the apps crashes. Changing wall paper using default app works
- using default charger no changes
- received the latest update (fixed voicemail and outlook issues) - no change
I haven't been able to retore/flash NODO. That is probably what I need to do.
same problem here, new phone, original recharger and touchscreen of my optimus goes sometimes frenzy...the frequency of strange behavior raises when I fully recharge battery
i found a video on youtube, but yet i cannot send urls, because i'm new user here, u can find it if u search "problema telefono"

hello people, I lve had my nexus 4 for a while now, never experienced any problems with it on 4.3 neither with 4.4.2, just the overheath thing when browsing websites and such, but recently ive been getting this unresponsive touch in the middle that's not letting me send messages or organize the apps on my main page, I'll explain a little below.
When I slide my finger from top to bottom, just in the middle of the screen my touch seem to go slower and then it like makes a jump and won't recognize the touch in one part, that happens all along the middle of the screen is not just a blind spot, when I write a message and try to send it with the keyboard open, it won't let me touch the "send" bottom I have to minimize the keyboard to be able to send it because the bottom is just in the area where my touchscreen is not working correctly.
I downloaded multi touch tester to verify my touches and I found out that if I make a touch in the middle where I have my issue, the multi touch is recognizing 2 touches at the same time, I'll upload the picture to show how is it recognizing my touches in that specific area.
I'm actually using stock nexus 4 with stock KitKat 4.4.2, I haven't root or anything ever, is the first time I have issues with this phone in the touchscreen, I've also been experiencing some touchscreen freeze where I can't touch anything because it won't work and I have to lock screen and unlock it again for it to start working again.
what I have already done?
I have restart my.phone a couple of time and won't work
i have factory reset it and won't work
I have full charge it with USB and laptop and won't work
and that's about it, I'm sure is a software issues because my phone hasn't drop or anything it just started random and sometimes the phone start to work correctly with no issues but most of the time its not working properly and is frustrating.
PD: sorry for my bad English, not native speaker.
well is not letting me post pictures cus I'm new.

I am facing the same problem. You got any fix for this? Please help....
If you've already did a factory reset I doubt it's a software issue. However you can use one of the guides here explaining how to flash a clean stock factory image. This is the last solution that will eliminate any software sided failure.

I am also facing the exact same problem for the past two days, My phone is in perfect condition, not dropped or anything like that.
I think I did some google play updates which where pending for long time.... Do not know what is causing this.
Anyway have started to uninstall the app updates manually, lets see.
A flashing will rule out all software issues. Check whether the touchscreen is working. Enable developer options, then select "Show pointer touches" and the other one just below it (too lazy to check up and tell you what it is; pardon me )
If you're getting normal touch response over the entire screen, then you're facing a software issue. Anything else implies a hardware issue; this may or may not fix itself (somehow; gremlins.)
In either case, let us know what happens. Cheers!

I'm having the exact same issue & tried what you just said. Unfortunately, I'm not getting touch response in one center row of the screen, for that entire row, no resppnse at all.
Is this the problem with touch screen?

Say goodbye to that display. I have to get my display replaced too (clumsy fingers grumblegrumble) and the LG guys say the display unit costs 3750 rupees to replace... Get it done ASAP.
Greetings!
If it is a software issue try re-flashing the stock factory image might as well work

Hi guys
I have moved from iPhone to a note 4 and loving it!
I was just wondering if anyone has found the touch screen occasionally doesn't respond to their touch and you have to touch it again. On the iPhone it only ever missed a touch if my finger was in the wrong place, but it never happened on the keyboard. Every so often maybe 5/6 times a day I touch a key on the keyboard and nothing happens, when I try again it's fine. I can't reproduce it, because when I tap anywhere on the keyboard something gets pressed. I was just wondering if this was normal?
Hope you are enjoying your phones!!
Anyone?
It's most likely cause your palm is on the phone. One of the downsides of a slim bezel on a big phone. Also keep in mind if your spen is on the screen, your fingers won't work. A case might help.
I thought about another part of my hand touching the screen, however with half my hand layed across my keyboard I can still type with the other hand. Thanks for the response
I Pele tried factory resetting today and not installed any apps, but it is still happening
I rang Samsung this morning and they advised I return I to the store and get an exchange. Luckily my local store got its first batch of note 4s in this morning and they swapped it out. I restored it all firmware updates put on it and now works fine! The only thing I haven't installed is a Google play system update thing. I was wondering if that was the cause x
Similar issues
I've had similar issues (in fact, that's what brought me here in the first place). Initially, I was able to tap on the screen in the text box and then continue typing (I use Swype). However, now my messaging app (default Messages) just freezes up, forcing me to close the app, clear the memory, and relaunch the app before continuing.
Were you using the default app and/or Swype when you had issues? I'm going to try to factory reset my phone to see if it helps.
It's taken a couple of weeks for this problem to develop, so please keep us posted if this problem arises again on your new phone!
Edit: Also want to point out that when I text, I use one hand to hold the phone and only a finger to swipe my text. As such, only the one finger touches the screen.
unable to use touch screen. only hard key were working >>Note4
Hi everyone,

Same thing happened to me last night. The touchscreen became unresponsive while using chrome. The phone was a little warm but not bad. I didn't try the pen, sounds like a good idea. I am not certain it was a touch screen issue with mine. Almost more of a processor issue. I got the phone to lock. After pressing the menu or lock button to wake the screen it would take 5-10 seconds to wake. Then I could swipe my unlock pattern. It would not show any lines. I would wait, the screen would turn black after timing out in about 5s. The about 5s after I could hear the speaker make the unlock sound. I ended up doing a battery pull and that fixed the issue. Anyone else have something similar?
Should I try and replace it?

Observe to see if it happens when you're using other apps too. Chrome has been notorious for causing all sorts of problems, like reboots, freezes, etc on some devices.
Also it may be worth installing Chrome Samsung Support Library.

Got the same problem after 2 months of normal usage... I initially though I had installed a third party application which was causing the system freeze but this was not the problem.
- tried factory resetting and not installed any apps, but it is still happening
- When this happens if I take out the spen .... surprise it work. The pen allows me to do anything... But the touch screen does not work with fingers...
- I used the pen to reboot the note4... Still the same problem after reboot... I ended up doing a battery pull and that fixed the issue for.... a couple of minutes... Then the problem came back....
The only solution remaining was to return the phone.... They gave me a Note3 while my Note4 is being repaired...
That's a shame for a product of that price!
:crying:
Same thing is happening with my 2 months old note4 since two weeks ago. An horizontal line 1.5cm in width about 1/3 from the bottom of the screen, became unresponsive. At reboot it works sometimes then it becomes unresponsive again. It looks like in the image I attached, the difference is that the area is horizontal, not vertical. I'm taking my note4 to the store today for warranty, hopefully they will replace it. I haven't abused the device in any way, I have a screen protector since its first day.. I really hope this isn't a serious problem that affects many users.
Just like some of you mentioned above, the pen has no issues on any area of the screen.
Cheers!

Never purchase a device without a return / DOA policy. Not worth the hassle. If it hasn't been 30 days, you should call your credit card company or Paypal and place the amount on dispute, wait, you purchased from another market, please tell you didn't pay by cash.

I have this problem after I flash CWM recovery, before this was flashed with twrp recovery, I reflash stock rom with odin, I flash many times CWM and TWRP and I still have the problem, my warranty it's void now but I think to go at Samsung store to see if they solve my problem. This problem look like a driver for touch corrupted, if somebody find it out how to fix or have any ideea please weritte here, thanks you
I've started to have this problem as well, lower part of the left side of the screen sometimes registers touch instead of scrolling! Very annoying, tried to update recovery, tried tapping screen, doesn't help. The worst thing is I cannot reproduce the issue at will... It seems pretty random.

Unfortunately, if the phone is on Verizon, the dialing codes will be disabled.
Potential fix.
Please excuse the necropost But I came here looking for a solution from google and others may too. I found a way to solve this issue/s.
There appear to be two issues affecting this.
1. Overloading the processor.
2. Static.
If your touch input is lagging or doesn't register at all but then suddenly does a few moments later, its likely a type 1. problem. I fixed this by disabling resource intensive features such as s voice. This also improved battery life and overall performance considerably.
If touch simply doesn't work at all, but s pen works fine then the problem is more likely type 2. That being static buildup in your person. Simply touch something that can ground you and it should fix the issue. A metal tap should work. Be wary, you might even get a little zap as you discharge
