Had the phone since it first came out and loved it until the new Android software came out. It sometimes will go back to previous screen when typing and hit the space bar as well as occasionally not show what you're typing but nothing big. What do i need to do? Do i need to update?

Remember eclair, when the screen every now and then went crazy and registered in a whole completely different spot other than where ya touched, causing you to have to shut your screen off and back on. Quite annoying but not a big deal since it rarely happened especially on customs ...
I figured I'd wait for this poll to pop up or read about it, but itching to know.
Anyways has anyone experienced this behavior with froyo yet?
I have not and for me that's awesome. Although it was minor and infrequent it still wasn't cool...
I've had this happen twice so far in two days, both times in the bottom right corner of the screen. Tapping 1 inch away from the bottom right corner would actually tap 1 cm farther down from where my finger was. But a quick screen off fixed it.
I had this problem very frequently the last few days.
I don't know what happend, as I had no problems since the froyo-update, but now it seems to come back – worse than ever.
I have MoDaCo Froyo and sometimes the screen goes really crazy (at every second touch, so not just rarely as in the past). But it still fixed the problem, if I try turning it on and off again…
I hate it
Yeah same, only in the last 5 or so days has this started happening.
Bottom left corner. Whenever i try to press the letter 'a' im either pushing the numbers button or the 'back' button. A right pain in the arse!
Also experienced this issue frequently, recently. The difference is trying to type a space and it going back.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
happens when im typing. i hit "L" but it does backspace or any letter near the space bar as well. -__- like other people said a quick screen off fixes it. still annoying though.
Same for me. Used to be infrequent but since froyo its all the time. I eventually called support and they said must be acalibration issue so they are sending me a new phone. But I don't think its a hardware problem. We will see. Interestingly they did suggest a hard reset and of course I said I'd tried that (which I hadnt). So after the call 4 days ago I did try that and I have not had the problem since. New hardware should turn up tomorrow, so I guess I will swap it anyway and see what happens. Gina tripan was talking about this in This Week In Tech so I think its a widespread problem.

So a hard reset resolved the issue for you? Did you do a Titanum backup or sth like this or would that restore the touchscreen issues as well?
I don't want to lose all settings/app data/... again
But I guess if I only restore apps and app data (and no system settings etc.) it might work?
I can confirm that teh hard reset did NOT solve the problem, and I am still waiting for my new hardware.
I did not do a titanium backup, I just had the setting checked for my data and apps to be backed up with Google.
All my apps got reinstalled automatically, all I lost was the notes from my AK Notepad app which I thought were stored on SD Card but which are not (you can manually export them and reimport after hard reset if you need to).

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my A4g.
Basically, once in a while, the screen starts to press on its own. Usually towards the middle of the screen, so if i go to text message, keys such as "F" and "S" get rapidly hit on their own! Turning off and on the screen helps fix it, but sometimes i need to restart the phone altogether.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on Gingerbread with Unlocked bootloader and rooted but this problem has been around since i got the phone.
we'll need to know a little bit of information on your phone.
are you running stock software? (for instance, i'm using Ninja Speed Freak 0.4.5 and Faux's custom OC kernel)
have you dropped your phone recently?
has your phone gotten any contact with water recently?
do you have any suspicious third party apps installed?

OMG! its like a spirited game!!!
Sometime it happens to me, the screen to become unresponsive..
And i turn of the screen and on and its gone.
The thing happened at you it happens only with raindrops.
And rarely FP sensor dont work, so i reboot..
Are you stock? Or on a custom rom probably ?
As i wrote in OP, i'm running on the AT&T Unlocked bootloader 2.3.4 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
This problem isn't due to the rom, it happened to me before the update too.
Ive only dropped this phone once since May and it was on carpet.
have you tried doing a factory reset? quick google search brought this up for me, but i'm not having the problem so i can't test it out myself for ya =\
http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-general-discussion/889-screen-issues.html
That was the first method i tried 3-4 months ago with no luck.
I can't do that anymore because of the unlocked bootloader
I have an Atrix 4G, from time to time and becoming more consistent lately. I'll go to type a message or just click an app icon and all the buttons just press on there own or app icons get clicked on there own, wifi will shut off on its own sometimes but that i dont care about. Right now my phone is just bugging out typing gibberish and what not. I can't even use it currently. It did not get wet and I just recently did a factory reset. It is not rooted or anything like that, all stock. Please help. Thanks.
Just got hit with a Google software update
I pulled the update package to Inspect it.
It's 251mb and seems to address security issues.
My phone has been very laggy since I installed the update. Keyboard takes several seconds to catch up after I type a sentence. Swiping and scrolling is very jumpy. Now half my screen goes black sometimes, or when I switch apps half of it freezes on the screen and I can only see half of the home screen. Have you heard any other reports, or plans to roll back the update? Don't want to unlock and void warranty if I need to return it.

Same sh#t with mine. And it seems to be a usual problem for 10 Evo/Bolt as you can watch different videos on YouTube describing the problem.
HTC is still silent while some folks tell that they've problem with screen after 3 or even 4 replacements. I love the brand for a long time. But now they are really disappointing.
BTW, try to fast-knock the upper-center part of the touchscreen with 2*usual force. My screen goes black for 5-10 seconds and then works normally again.
camera lagging and playing video lags
Not sure if this is in the right thread but my Bolt was fine for about 6-8 weeks than seemingly out of the blue i noticed my videos lagging and when i move my camera around there is a lag before the new spot is focused in on.
I started with 1.17.651.15 and upgraded to 1.17.651.22. If was sometime after the upgrade that i noticed this. When i factory reset my device it will seem to work fine especially if i leave it alone. But after re-installing apps and setting up the phone this lag comes back. also notice on the keyboard entries and sliding down and acrosss the screens
thanks,
Tim
My phone shows ALL of my notifications for ALL of my apps on BOTH the second screen and primary screen. I tried turning the apps on silent and it didn't work. No one else seems to have this problem. It looks very cluttered on both screens and I want it to only show in the second screen. It used to do that fine when I bought the phone but a month later it stopped. My phone is not rooted and I didn't touch or download anything I shouldn't have. I turned it off to charge the phone one day and when I turned it back on this started happening.
Are you talking about the big heads-up notifications that appear at the top of the main screen?
I think those are just on by default, I don't know of a way to disable that from the UI, but you can do it through adb or a terminal emulator, root isn't required. See here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/manually-doing-ui-tuner-t3493986/post69510885.
I think thats part of the latest update. I have my phone rooted and currently using overdrive latest rom but in previous versions it didnt have that.
