I just got my woad in the mail today and I've only had one issue.
The bottom of the screen isn't very responsive.. and the unresponsiveness mostly happens
To the bpttom of the screen I was just wonering ifany1 else has experienced a problem like this.
Should I return it for a new one or stick with this one?
Btw this is fresh out the box so its still on 3.1 not sure if it will make
A difference though if its a hardware defect.
im having few problems with bottom left of the screen not being as responsive as the rest of the screen. This problem becomes obvious when i started using a drawing app to take notes and noticed on bottom left it would skip over little parts of the screen. i tried differnent apps and get this. before that i never noticed this and thos spots arent dead because if i use my thumb then it detects.
So I'm not alone then. I guess I'll ask new egg to send new another epad must be a manufacturer defect.

I've got a whole section of the x axis (in landscape) across the screen that is dead. Pretty ridiculous QC if you ask me. This device is *****ing as long as everything is functional hardware wise. Working on my fifth one here because of various defect. I'd like to kick someone's ass for this.

I got one and the whole top of the screen maybe about a half inch had the same problem. Returned it and the new one is fine.

Certain areas of my ATRIX Screen are no longer responsive. Tried removing my battery and all. Nothing fixed it. Anyone have any ideas?

Have any details? Is it rooted? Unlocked bootloader? Custom Rom? Water damage? Has it been dropped? How long have you owned the phone? 3rd party launcher? Type of screen protector (if there is one)? Scratches on the screen? etc...
If it is running stock then I would use the warranty. If you are running a custom Rom then try flashing it again or something else. If nothing works it probably needs a new digitizer.

If it's all jacked up and your bottom keys don't work either it could be the pds partition if it is google pds partition fix and download and flash the appropriate fix for the version of android you are running.

Sorry for the lack of details. I'm running stock from bell. 2.4.6 I believe. Not rooted or modded. I have had it for 9 months and no water damage it major drops. One tiny scratch but on the other side of the screen.
My last test was to use the Touch Test app and when I run my finger across the screen and it detects touch all the way across except a vertical strip from top to bottom. For instancr I can't use letters w, e, s, z when in portrait mode.
I'm guessing or hoping to be able to get it fixed under warranty.

Yeah, warranty sounds like the best option if the phone is completely stock.

This is a known failure (according to the research I did) that will be covered under your warranty. Mine started doing the exact same thing after 6 months of ownership. There was a 10% strip of unresponsive area in the upper portion of my screen. AT&T shipped me a replacement and all is good.
I found several users who were experiencing the same failure that I was experiencing, so at least I knew it was not just me.
Yea I had the 10% top portion go bad.. Warranty was my only fix.

i will never buy another Motorola devices after experiencing this glitch from the Atrix. I had problem with the screen about two months ago, there are two horizontal lines in the screen that are non-responsive, and since i can't send in for warranty, i had to replace the digitizer at a local shop. after two months and many flashes (i was trying Darkside, Muiu, CM7) and now my screen is messed up at the same places they were wrong before. My experiences with Motorola have been very bad. Motorola in general is not a very good company

Have you been overclocking or keeping your screen in your pocket toward your leg?
The digitizer on any android will burn out using any of those because the phone will get too hot.
When I replaced my digitizer after accidently leaving it OCd all night and slept on it, I woke up with the same issue, and the connector was fried, it literally broke right in half instantly.
I do want to know, why is Motorola a bad company? They have made amazing phones for years, and a lot of them have been widely popular.
I had this happen with my first Atrix out of the box when I bought it. They replaced it at the ATT store.

I had a problem similar to this, notification bar area of my phone would not respond, AT&T wouldn't do sh!t about it until i took it to the local store and demonstrated its unresponsiveness to an employee using a touch test app from the market, it would register the touch and stop for about a 3/4" part of the screen and once i passed the broken section the line i was drawing would appear.
I recommend sending it back, this is my 3rd atrix due to defects. My second atrix had some severe issues, the battery nearly exploded lol.
I have lost all hope in motorola phones, too. Thankfully, i have only owned 2 that were smartphones & not nextels.

I had the same problem with my Atrix, I sent it back to Motorola, and they did replace it under warranty.
My current one seems to have another problem where the haptic feedback fails for no reason.
Disappointed to say the least
Sorry to thread jack OP, but I am too experiencing these issues. Top of screen is unresponsive, and it skips to random home screens. I am running CM7, unlocked bootloader, what is the best way to get my phone back to OEM spec? I want to return it to motorola for 1 year warranty, I really appreciate it guys.

You don't make sense. I've owned a Motorola Nextel phone (i860) and it lasted my whole contract without issues, I then gave it to a family member who used it for a year. Then he gave it to a friend who eventually dropped it in a puddle. Not a bad run if you ask me. I then got the i1 boost android smartphone (not very smart) for the iden network (direct connect) and it lasted till I bought this phone. My cousin still uses my i1. My experience with moto has been great, I had this issue with this phone due to ocing, but they repaired it free of charge (At&t did nothing to help).

I found a simple solution to fixing a digitizer that's starting to go bad, after having replaced the digitizer on my phone TWICE. The first digitizer started having the typical symptoms, where about a 1cm bar about a third of the way down the screen just wouldn't register touches. And if it did, it normally ended up with spontaneous, erratic behavior. I ordered a replacement, which turned out to be worse than the original digitizer. Sent that one back, got another digitizer, and it worked great for about a month. Then I started having same issues all over again. (And if anybody here has replaced a digitizer on this phone already, you probably understand how painful it can be.)
So, for those of you who haven't ordered a replacement yet, and are having the issues I've described above, try this test first. When you start experiencing erratic behavior and dead spots, squeeze the upper portion of the phone, where the camera, speaker, and Motorola logo is, moving in left to right. Don't be afraid to use a good amount of pressure, but don't squeeze to where you might crack something. If the problem disappears, the thin cable underneath that area is starting to separate away from the connections. (Don't know the correct terminology here.) Now, I'm not sure if it's just glue or really thin amount of solder holding these connections together, but I do know that they break pretty easily. I ended up using a heat gun, and heating up the upper portion of the phone till it was a little too hot to touch (be careful, though, too hot, and you might cause some damage to the LCD screen.) and used a rag and squeezed from the center, moving outwards, maintaining as much constant pressure as I could, till the phone was about normal temperature.
It's been roughly an hour since I've tried this, and I haven't had any issues thus far, except for a couple hiccups. I may end up doubling up on the double sided tape on the bottom, to create more of an incline to prevent the ribbon from further separating. But this may help squeeze some more life out of the digitizer. Hopefully this helps a few of you!
Well, turns out the fix really didn't work. Still trying to figure out what causes the digitizers to go bad. I have noticed, though, that squeezing the upper left corner (where the camera is) gets rid of the problem, but it reappears usually a few moments later.

i dont for defo, but thats the area that i posted about, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719653
you use that piece thin of metal, to push against the fingerprint area, then screen display is good
working for me over a week now.
I got caught in the same problem,i have read a thread about how to fix this problem the other day (which is to insert a small stuff between the battery and fingerprint scanner)
then i tried to pull the scanner upwards a little,then it seems working!
but this issue comes back after i placed the back cover
finally i found that my problem would disappear once the back cover taken out!and appear once covered!
I think the problems starts when you push a lot of times the finger print to wake up the phone.

Anyone had issues with random touches still after 4.4 update? I never had them on 4.3 but have had it twice now where the device does random things until I am forced to hold the power button to switch it off as the menu that comes up when you hold the power button can't be used because the touchscreen touches outside the box.

I'm also experiencing it.Randomly though.It doesn't appear when I type.It's frequent when I play Injustice,I can notice that my actions are not detected and when I try to power it off,I get stuck with the power off menu,same as you mentioned.My homescreen bobs between adjacent panes sometimes. Any known fix?

Same issue here. Sometimes a touch is not registered unless you hold it for a second.
Rebooting fixes it ... But I was wondering if someone is getting on the bottom of this?
Exact same issue here, I have to keep rebooting by long pressing power button to fix it temporarily. So damn annoying.

Plug your tablet via USB to either your computer or an outlet and do some typing. Does the problem go away? I saw someone mention on the forum a while ago about a possible grounding issue, something to do with hardware. Mine does go away. I have zero issues typing when my tablet is plugged in.
Same issue. I guess it is related to kit kat. I am running omnirom, and the reason I flashed it was because my nexus 7 starting spazzing out on me. I thought flashing a rom would fix it, but it did not. What I do it enable show touches in developer options to see where the screen is touching. Then I swipe the entire screen row after row especially the point(s) where it detects the touches that you did not make. Just touch every area of the screen, and it went away, for a little bit at least.
Mine touch problem worsened after kitkat. Not recognising touch At all while lying on the table, to ghost touches to, missing touch it's having all. Though I still love my nexus but it has made the experience bitter sweet

Happens on my Nexus 7 2013 with stock 4.3.
I tested my screen when I first got it with no problems, after updating to 4.4.2. There was one time where it wouldn't register any taps, but problem was fixed after reboot.
My Nexus is still wrapped in its original plastic cover. I have used it very little, and have not noticed any screen mis-clicks or whatever. Are there any guaranteed steps to reproduce the problem ?

just using it, download a multi touch testing problem and place 2 fingers (imagining a grid) one on top of the other or horizontally, if it doesn't happen quickly, give it a few minutes without shutting off the screen and try again...
I sent mine for warranty and ASUS lost it... so I'm just gonna get my money back, dealing with them with the BBB
Mine actually improved drastically with kit Kat. I now get nearly flawless touchscreen response. The one or two times it has happened since, simply locking and unlocking the device resolves the issue.

Have downloaded a multutouch application and have tried it until I got bored. It seems that it detected correctly where my fingertips where, one, two or three at the same time and moving all the time.
I had it disconnected from the USB and laying on the couch, seemed to work OK.
Maybe it is the plastic wrapper making it all work OK?
I had zero touch issues when I first got mine (did 10mins of multi-touch testing with app), after the recent 4.4.2 update, I was getting erratic/missed touches. Multi-touch app confirmed the same, 8 fingers on the screen, it jumped from 8 all the way down to 2 touch readings. A little digging around and I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428133
I tried it out and fixed my touch issues. Give it a try.
I reconnected the touchscreen connector, after that most touch issues were gone except for a rare occasion when I still get ghost touches. Tap sensitivity (typing) is so much better now, it used to be nearly impossible

I went thru 3 of them all had the same issue with the touchscreen not being properly responsive and it corrected when the USB cable was connected (tried all 3 with JB and KK saw no change). Its obvious there are grounding issues with this product and It looks like Nexus doesn't really care; which is really disappointing since my first gen has performed flawlessly. Looks like I'll keep the original and start looking into some other brands.

This game works awfully on my nexus 7 as the connected line broke prematurely when my finger never left the touchscreen at all.
Anyone face same problem with the game as me?

fixing it yourself is really easy, it takes 5 minutes and breaks no seals, so no warranty problems
so my screen started with this crazy thing. theres a dead line on top of the screen. and touchscreen litteraly goes crazy. opens and closes apps, zooms in and out, swipes. this stops when i turn the screen of and back on, temporarely.
the phone has never been dropped or damaged in any way. just started randomly. i've tried 4.4.2, 4.2.2, custom roms, franco kernel,
flashing stock rom via fastboot fixes it,.
dead line desapears, everything goes back to normal. but when i leave it over night charging. the problem revives. i've seen this problem in youtube and google forum.. with the same deadline on the upper screen..
I Made a touchscreen text and everythiing is fine. but when the deadline appears fails
HELP!
My gf is having the exact same problem with her phone at the moment. I'm guessing that the digitizer needs to be replaced...but any other thoughts are certainly welcome.

I also disconnected battery.. no fix. right now theres no deadline. i think it could be the battery. like when you plug in with wrong charger and phone goes crazy.
right now theres no deadline. works perfectly no deadline. low battery tho:crying::crying:
Could be a grounding issue. When I use chargers that aren't probably made I'll have that problem. Try using another wall charger and another wall socket.
Well, mine it's definitely the screen. I enabled screen touches in developer options and there is a dead rectangular area across the top of the screen that doesn't register most touches...and occasionally sporadic ghost touches start erratically pressing this area not allowing me to touch elsewhere. I'll likely have to start looking at repair options.

happened to me with my previous phone lg optimus black and kind of happened with my nexus. in the previous phone i had a lot of ghost touch. they started happening one every phew days and after six month i had ghost touches every single day rendering the phone almost unusable. got it for guarantee and they changed the touch screen. the problem started again on the new digitizer with some sporadic ghost touches, on the same day! after that i bought nexus. after a while i saw ghost touches too but it's rare. for me the ghost touches happened when i was playing a game called tubing and with time happened every where. tubing is a game where a lot of quick touches is required. now that i stopped playing that game everything seems fine
a friend of mine had this problem some time ago with htc hd2. the service told him that this kind of touch technology has problems in warm weather(i live in cyprus and in the summer it gets up to 42 43 degree celcious) .

nexus 4 ghost touches and dead screen.
Believe it out not, the crazy ghost touch and dead screen areas are NOT the screen. It is the battery. It sounds crazy, but it is true. The bad party is, nexus 4 batteries are old. Buying a new one won't necessarily solve the problem. I would buy the brand name this party battery.I have had bad new oem batteries die to their age.
Hello guys ley me join this party of ghost
As my device is also doing same weird thing like unnecessary touch without my feedback in most of third party app, setting app and in play store it goes crazy and start clicking on any option available without my touch
But the thing which is making me frustrate that this happens only on custom kernel as I tried all with stock google factory image 5.1 and this problem arise just a few days back and I was on custom ROM with custom kernel before 5.1 update everything was fine but after 5.1 update I mean custom 5.1 ROM with custom kernel this problem arises now if I m going back to 5.0.2 custom ROM with custom kernel my device become crazy and just start clicking any option in setting app I m totally stuck with Google factory image and stock kernel
Please guys if any one has pepper solution for this ghostly touch help me so that I can enjoy custom ROM and kernel :crying:
Mouse BlueTooth (without adapter)
I found the cheapest possible solution, as the replacement digitizer is not profitable.
I bought a mouse BlueTooth (without adapter) without problems and now I can move the cursor around the screen over the entire surface.
N4 is not for me everyday device.
In my case, I bought a mouse i-Tec Bluetouch 243.
