I just got this problem recently and out of nowhere.
When i plug it into computer or charger with the cable, the screen is unresponsive but when i unplug it, it acts normally. But now it sometimes happens even when i'm not charging it. Sometimes when i pres the power button to unlock, it's not responsive AT ALL. I have to turn off the screen again and turn it on again so that it can be unlocked.
Any of you people know why this is happening?
I have read some thread in HD2 section that this is caused by the broken Gsensor. Is it the same with mine?
Also, I had almost similar issue with my HTC Desire once where sometimes the touchscreen recognized two touches while I only touched it with only one finger. It was then cleared when i change the ROM to MIUI and only MIUI (this also occured and solved with MIUI too with my friend's Droid1).
I want to know whether it's software or hardware issue and how to solve the problem. I already flash another ROM but it's still the same. Can it be solved by flashing sbf? Thanks
I've had that problem to but no clue why. I just ignored it.

just recently with the new froyo roms my 32b magic is having problems, everything works great except i cant long press to say drag a widget to the bin, it just selects the quick touch action. its not always like this but when it is its really anoying, it happens with multiple roms, so i think it may be an app causing the problem, anyone else have this problem
UPDATE:
figured it out, for some reason this problem is happening when i am plugged into the charger its all very strange
it looks like you have similar problem as I have
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795157
does it happen only when you have phone plugged in charger, or also to USB in computer?
and what happens when yuo slide keyboard?
Hello all. Sorry to post about this, but I see it's a somewhat common issue with some other 'Droids and figured I'd toss this in here to see if anyone else has had any issues.
Basically, whenever a USB cable is plugged into my computer and the phone, the screen stops responding properly. I've heard this could be a kernel issue?
Any suggestions?
not sure, its it fully unresponsive? I have minor issues with it not working for time to time but it will come around. This is both on and off USB. I just wiped everything and reinstalled super clean 1.0 and that fixed it, I also installed only apps I need and none are on SD as I think SD is not so responsive in this leak. My gallery app takes forever to load and I have a class 6 SD card.
I'm using RubikS' ROm of Froyo and just pluged my phone into my computer and the gui and all touch elements are working without issue. What version of Froyo are you using?

I notice this when I'm charging the phone, I just avoid having to use it while it's plugged in.
I have my phone pluged in at work to my laptop all the time and have never seen an issue with the touch screen.
Not all USB power connections are the same
I have the USB provided with my fascinate. In addition, I have a cheap power only mini-USB connector. When I use the latter, on any ROM, I find the touch screen to be non responsive. When I use the stock power it works. Just a FYI, so please check your power cord first.
I'm using the stock cable that came with my phone (of which I picked up this last Saturday).
Right now, I'm running the Blackhole ROM, it happens quite often, but there are a few instances where the touchscreen does work fine. It seems to happen mostly whenever the screen goes to sleep and requires an unlock.
I don't think it could be the Blackhole rom, as it would have been more widely reported... could it be? I have absolutely no issues otherwise with it (Except pressing the redial button crashes the dialer and hitting "Setup Wizard" in the options causes an exception/FC)
this has always happened to me, i think its just an electric interference from the charger to the screen. a better cable might fix the problem but i'm not positive on that, just conjecture
Don't use 3rd party chargers/ cables, this is a known issue to messing up the touchscreen. Also hold your phone while you use it, you need to do this because it seems to ground the phone and make it responsive. I have tested this on a few phones and they do not like it when you touch the screen while you are not holding it.
When my phone is plugged into the charger, the screen becomes almost unusable. Very hard to scroll around, different letters get selected while trying to type. If i hold my finger still on the home screen, it jumps around like its having a seizure and wont stay still. Unplug the charger though, and everything works perfectly.
Was just wondering if anybody else finds it difficult to use the screen while charging, or if anyone notices any difference in screen sensitivity while charging?
I don't have your problem.
Neither have I encountered this problem
Seems like you have a faulty device. I suggest to go to a SE center and ask their opinion and maybe ask for another one
I just found an old charger and tried that, and no problems at all, so the issue is something to do with the charger im guessing. Weird....
my phone is connect to the PC and I am not having any problems, did you try charging it through a PC?
i encountered the same issue when charging with a nokia n900 charger.
while with PC charging it seems ok.
Not had that problem with whatever charger I use. I have used the in car, desktop and PC connections, also used an HTC and ZTE charger with no issues.
Have not experienced this problem.

I had this problem and managed to fix it.
Mine had nothing to do with the charger though. Typing went crazy whenever i hit the space button or the p button. Pressing p would produce a 2-3 y's and pressing space would produce a , and 2 spaces.
I cant remember EXACTLY which fixed it but i can tell you what i did -
1) Installed a cache cleaner. Cachemate. (although i have recently switched to Android Assistant). Performed a power cache cleanse with Cache Mate.
2) Went to Titanium Backup and selected "Default Input" and "wiped Data".
However, here is the thing i THINK fixed the problem -
1) Went to market place and installed gingerbread keyboard and selected it as my default input.
Switching which keyboard you use i believe resets the touchpoint settings. I prefer Gingerbread Keyboard btw, use it as my default now.
Be careful when you wipe cache or data using titanium backup. I accept no responsibility for any misuse that causes your phone to function incorrectly
A lot of Android phones do this with incompatible chargers.
Happens to me when I keep my phone on a flat surface it goes all mumbo jumbo and I can't even unlock the screen properly

By battery pull do you mean you removed the battery and put it back again ?
Just try a simple reboot, that should get it to work normally.
Is the scrolling also lagging? That used to happen to me, I just OCed my phone, and it worked smooth as butter.

It seems I often have the same problem after plugging in the power cord.
Simply removing the power cord solves the problem.
While I have this issue I found a bunch of errors from logcat or dmesg, next time I'll try to post some relevant snipset.
Can someone confirm that CM7/9 are immune from this issue?
android version 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3, build 4.5.1-134_DFP-139.

Guyz, dont ignore this problem. This is due to broken digitizer (f*ck you moto). I had this problem about six months back. I was madly asking for help in this forum. Got suggestion from everybody but nothing worked. at last I have given it in moto service center where they replaced my digitizer. All's well from then (six months now) but I am always afraid of that ghost can return since I have no warranty left.
Will never ever buy a moto phone again. (I am here only bcoz of the best dev community, otherwise I would have left already). However I love my defy.
you have used membrane ?
you have used membrane on your screen?
This usually happens when my screen is wet. Or in cold weather.
Are you sure its neither of those?

Hi,
Had this issue with a Defy Plus (one of two with problems). Sent it back for a replacement from the retailer. Third one has been fine and still going strong!!

Hello-
I usually do not open threads but I need advice on this recent touch responsiveness issue that has been happening. My Nexus 7 8 GIG was running great I had not had one issue with it, until one day I opened the case "Poetic leather case with magnet locks" and the screen came on notifications were on and animated everything looked fine. I went to unlock it and the touch screen did not respond to anything, now the screen rotates fine and all but it would not respond to touch. So I reset it with the power button, the touch screen then works until it times out and turns off, I wake it up and the screen does not respond again. I took it out of the case and have manually turned it on/off and it still does not respond to touch, but it will work every time I reset it. This problem has came out of nowhere it was running great.
I was originally on AOKP Milestone 1 with Franko's Kernel r25 so I thought maybe that was it so I re flashed Milestone 1 and kept the stock kernel and the problem persists. So I wiped everything and put BAMF Paradigm on it and it still does this, but the touch screen responds every time it is manually reset so I am trying to figure out if this is hardware or software related I am led to believe it is software considering the touch screen works flawlessly upon reboot but again I am not sure.
I have not added any new apps or anything like that to cause a memory leak or such. This problem started when I left the N7 for two days without touching it, then the problem happened after I tried to use it after the two days of inactivity.
Update: I turned the N7 off for about a day booted it back up now the touch screen is working every time I am confused.
So I still have 7 months on my ASUS manufactures warranty should I send this unit back? I just do not want to think its software related and it will get fixed through updates and then find out it is hardware related and be out of the warranty period.
I am on 4.1.2 with the last boot loader "not the new one"
latest version of TWRP
Thanks everyone in advance for your time.
It seems like a magnet bad effect to me! not sure though cuz the nexus 7 suppose to work fine with magnetic cases but it could be a Magnetic field effect. In my opinion as long as it works don't send it cuz you don't know what happens there in the service center, I mean once the device is opened it would never get the same as before.

Yea I had thought that was it but I took it out of the case and still does it so no dice on that field
well i flashed the latest google image and just started fresh. The touch screen is now working without issue so hopefully it was nothing still not sure though what would have caused this though -_-
