Can you boot it into fastboot/recovery at all? (Turn on while holding Vol down)

Sounds like a weird bootloop problem but then you said sometimes it goes to the home screen and then it shuts itself down. Try switching your phone off and switch it back on WHILE pressing(and holding) the volume down button on your phone and let us know if you see "fastboot" written on the screen? You should do.

thx for the responses,yes it says fastboot and just sits there

So it just says "fastboot" and not "unlocked....fastboot"?
Either way, when you get to where it says "fastboot", press Vol down until it says "Android Recovery" and then press Vol up.
If you haven't flashed CWM you should get the little android with the triangle. At this point, press both volume buttons at the same time.
You should get a menu, use the volume keys to navigate to "Wipe" and then there should be an option at the bottom/left of the screen for "okay" and select that.

If your phone says "unlocked" they'll charge your bill 175 because that's user damage

I would have replied if I saw this earlier, but yes, other posters were right.
The solution to bootloops in 99.9% of cases is wipe data / factory reset. That should have fixed things up for you. But if you get a shiny new phone, that ain't bad either i reckon.

Thx for all the help!!!!

[Q] cant get out of activate screen

this droid x isnt activated on any network yet as i just purchased it yesterday and everything is still stock..
so today i updated it to gingerbread via the ota update. i used it for a little and it was fine. like an hour later i pick it up and it tells me welcome to droid x touch android to begin. its the activate process. but i dont want to activate. and dont know how to get out of it.
i would appreciate any ideas. thanks

Click all 4 corners in clockwise direction starting with the top left. If you do it correctly it'll close the screen.

thats not working.

top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left... bottom will be right above the line that says activate/back

Get passed the activation screen on boot on the droid

Hey guys Name is chubs aka chibixzero, You would normally will find me on the SGH-I777 Forums, But today I have a question My cousin gave me a droid X or x2 Don't Quite know for sure, He own me some money and I figure I activated for my GF or something. But turns out I can't activated because, How he puts it He's friend found it and gave it to him
So I decided to just make it into my Daughters play phone so she doesn't drop mine or whatever. Long Story short I wipe everything from the recovery and now Every time It boots says I have to activate it, Which obviously I cant
I can get into recovery (Not CMW) because is not rooted but Is there anyway I can root/fix get pass the activation screen via the Recovery?
I try searching but dont really know what to search for.

Try pressing the top left, top right, bottom right and then bottom left corners of the screen. (I believe thats the combination) this will.bypass the activation screen

This. Also, make sure you're pressing in the center black area at those points, and not on the status bar and buttons.

Broken knock on

A few days ago my knock on broke. I've changed Rome,kernels, and restored a stock backup to see if any of that was the problem and it still won't work. Then I noticed that a line of my my screen is not registering touches. If I swipe across the area it registers, just not to touch. I have a feeling that with a portion of the screen dead it is affecting the knock on feature. Can anyone attest to this or does anyone know what my next course of action might be to get knock on back. I have included a picture of lcd screen test to show which portion of the screen is not registering touch. Thanks in advance!

In having the same issue on my Sprint G2. Only just bought this device 3 days ago and knockon with the screen off stopped working. It works with the screen on in every launcher, but turn the screen off and nothing.
I'm thinking factory reset but I came here first because it still works with the screen on.
Oh yeah, what app ate you using to see the dead zones?

Defective sensor is causing the problem. Only option is to get a replacement.

Sometimes my G2 does not recognize knock on, when I tap on the screen too fast… but this is not related to any particular area of the screen.

The app is called lcd test or lcd screen test. Just an update. The dead zone is gone now and knock on works again. It is more than likely a hardware issue with digitizer and will probably come back, but for now I am getting my knock on.

Found the screen test earlier by rereading your post. Gonna turn Knockon back on to see if it comes back.
Thanks.

This is exactly what i'm experiencing!!! Same dead zone for tapping and no knock on! I submitted a service support ticket to LG earlier.

Mine is doing this and seems to be same zone. How I figured this out was by quick memo and drawing lines to figure out which spot does not registered. Now I'm just waiting on my replacement. This is just strange that 4 people are having the same problem on the same section of screen. And who knows how many more

This is how I figured the screen was messed up the screen did not register my touch in that section the screen

Did anyone fix this issue?

I guess I'll be sending my phone to lg..
Posting from my LG G2 while driving an Evo IX.

As a temporary work around for the dead zone, I recommend installing the one handed xposed app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-one-handed-mode-devices-t2735815) and toggling it to shift the screen down by 100 pixels. This allows you to move necessary buttons (such as the install button in google play) out of the dead zone temporarily.

I've sent my phone back to lg to have this corrected. Seems a little silly that I have to work around a dead spot on a new phone with less than two months of usage.

Exactly same issue here on my vs980 with dead spot in exactly same place. Weird...

Okay folks. Knock-off works, but Knock-on doesn't.
Turn off the setting in the gestures menu. Reboot your phone. Turn on setting. Power button lock your phone.
Now tap screen firmly for one second then tap firmly again. (No quick tapping like you're trying to turn the screen off)
Say this out loud. (1.- 2.)
One dot, two dot.
The first touch has to be firm and for a solid 1 second.

Well it still doesn't work. Regrettably...

I have this same problem on mine now....
I wish we could figure out what is causing these issues....Has anyone flashed TOT back to stock ZVC to see if it takes care of the issue?
EDIT:
Fix For Me:
Since Sprint doesn't have the update touchscreen driver,
Goto: Device Test-->Individual Item-->Touch Draw Test - Auto
Draw the outline as close as you can (notice the touch screen works everywhere!) then press your power button.
It will ask you PASS FAIL - SELECT PASS! (trying again if only Fail - but it worked on fail too for me)
NEXT:
5689#*980# (From Dialer)
Goto: Device Test-->Individual Item-->Touch Draw Test - Manual
Draw the outline as close as you can (notice the touch screen works everywhere!) then press your power button.
It will ask you PASS RETRY FAIL - SELECT PASS!
Exit, your touchscreen should be responding now that was previously dead.

This worked on my Sprint G2!! First time the dead zone (btw, it's always the same region at upper half of the screen, compared to other people's screenshots) happened, I thought it was the running out storage space, because after I transferred some of the photos out, it worked again. This morning, same thing happened and I moved all my photos out, leaving 3Gb free space, but did not recover. Tried the update touch firmware method, not working, but this one worked (my Touch draw test auto actually failed), but still after the manual draw test and reboot, it worked.

Sadly, it kept happening to me and eventually the method I used stopped working. I sent the phone since it was under warranty to LG. They replaced screen and digitizer. Took care of issue permanently. Sorry for bad news, but it will prob get worse till you have to replace too. ?

Phantasm Touch and finger slider

Hi all,
I'm new here, a friend refered me this page to ask for some troubles I'm having with my Nexus 4.
I bought it from ebay about 4 months ago. For all this time, it worked perfectly, no problems at all, running fine.
The thing is that this last week the telephone is doing strange things. While using it, at a few minutes of use, "phantasmal touches" occurs, getting hit the buttons from back, back to desktop and last applications.
Also, after some minutes, or just touching the screen for scroll, the slide malfunction, getting harder to slide, even sometimes this doesn't works, but touching stills operative (sometimes not).
The only way that temporarily works, is locking and unlocking the screen, but problem still appear again and again.
Tried also to restore it (like as it was new). But nothing.
Hope you can help me with this. Thanks.

The problem stills, for example, im in facebook or whatsapp, i slide up and down for reading, and from the nothing it's harder to slide/scroll... it's not that sensitive as before. I mean, with just a slide of the finger at early is scrolls fast, as it must be, but for some reason, after a few slides, with the same finger slide, it just scrolls a bit.

Have you tried cleaning the screen with (alcohol free) screen wash? Otherwise it sounds like a hardware issue or something wrong with the touch drivers.

Even with the screen protector? Can try it. If it's the touch drivers, how can they be "reparired"?

It's probably the screen protector causing the problem, take it off and then try using the phone again and see what happens.

Well, for the moment I've done a wipe from all data, the other option from the "recovery menu", and it's been a while using it, and the problem doesn't shows, non of both i mention.
