I have an s3 but decided to sbf back to stock to root and ROM etc.
I completely forgot I have to activate my phone before I use it on stock and I obviously can't because switching back from a 3g phone to a 4g is a pain.
Is there anyway to bypass this screen or at least get a recovery on this thing without activating?
Thanks.

I just got a Droid X for dirt cheap and ran into this same problem. After some googling, I found if you press the 4 corners of the touch screen it will unlock. Weird, I know but it worked for me.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. I am currently running the latest cyan 7 nightly but i do recall it happening 2 other times on cyan 7 RC4 and RC1. I am not at all saying it only happens on cyan, i am just showing when and how it happened. All 3 times it happened my battery was below 10% and i restarted my phone to have the issue occur. It seems as if every button on the screen would choose the exact mirrored opposite of itself on the screen. If i would press the phone icon on adw the default on the other side wich happens to be internet browser would launch. If i pulled down on the notification bar the app drawer would open and so on and so on. the only thing that was regular was when i would press an option in the main menu such as wifi or location, basically anything that didnt have an option next to it that it could switch to. after a few minutes i restarted the phone again to have the issue go away as fast as it started. It was not only in adw for those wondering it was anything that had an option next to it, such as pressing favorites in the browser and it would launch whatever is opp of it, settings i think im not positive at the moment. Oh well i just figured i would share some of my story with all of u in case it somehow starts a topic or even some how helps somebody out in any way. thanks, veritas

I work for a cell phone repair company and we recently had a G2 come in with heavy water damage. after doing the water damage treatment the phone powered on, everything working fine.
I powered it off to put my SIM into it to test the call functionality and when it powered back up the entire touchscreen was backwards, even the softkeys at the bottom.
we replaced the digitizer and that fixed the issue, so maybe T-Mobile or HTC will warranty it if its a bad digi
I've been dealing with a phantom touch issue with my shift. Pefectly centered in on the botto of the screen where it hits the phone button in sense. Its looking like a hardware issue.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and has anybody dealt with taking a rooted phone back to sprint for service?
Thoughts?

I had a weird issue where an area (the left side of the screen 2mm strip) on the touchscreen didn't work at all. I used the one zip RUU back to stock and brought it in and they gave me a new slider (whole top portion). Just happened 2 weeks ago.
I have bad problems with that and screen protectors, especially when it's really hot and humid (like everyday here in tampa)

At first I thought it was the screen protector, but the problem persisted after I stopped using them. And then I thought it was a bad rom or rom install, so I tried 3 different ones with no change. So ill just update myself to the OTA GB and take it in for service.

Did the rooted update to GB and it seems to have gotten rid of the phantom touch issue. I ended up having to do a factory reset when I did it, so maybe that helped. Glad I don't have to deal with customer support now. There always seems to be a line when I go in.

Just want to say you're not alone, this happened once temporarily on my G2. It made pressing the "s" and "a" keys on the on-screen keyboard almost impossible!
Please help me. The top part of my screen does not react to touch imput anymore. There are no scratches or visible dammage to the screen. What could cause this? It only affects the top half inch of the screen. When i try to select email in my inbox, the top email does not select.

Similar thing happened to my girlfriends atrix. She lost touch down the left center of the screen. Would not respond to touches from top to bottom .25" from the left side. Factory restoring and/or SBF did not fix this issue. Hell once I restored it I couldnt even setup blur as the E and W wouldnt work on the keyboard. Also, she couldnt unlock it without it being a major PITA. Warranty replaced and all is good
Thx for the replyes. How do i get a warranty replacement? Phone was bought at cosco when it came out.
Also da i still have warranty if i rooted and turned on wifi hotspot?

This has been happening since I remember getting the device. About 3/5 times when I bring my device out of standby and I go to enter my pattern the touch is off. I have "show touches" enabled in developer options to verify this.
When I put my finger on the top left dot of the 3X3 pattern, which is around the middle-left of the screen, it is detecting that I'm touching the device all the way in the top left corner. If I drag my finger around the screen, the touch is offset. If I remove my finger from the screen and place it back on the screen, then it is properly detected.
I didn't run on stock for very long, maybe an hour or two, before I rooted and flashed AOKP. Right now I'm on WhiteHawkx's unnoficial AOKP nightly and Franco's Kernel (r122).
My plan is to flash back to stock and see if it still happens then. But currently I have a really busy week ahead and don't have time so looking for insight.
Anyone else experience something like this?
No one? So I guess I should call Google for a warranty exchange?

Try recalibrating the touch screen, I think there's an option in settings.

I posted in that thread a while ago about this issue and no one confirmed. Thanks for your reply. I'm going to go back to stock this weekend and run it for a couple days to verify.

Let me know your results. If it persists, I might have to send mine back.
I'm on stock ROM. I have this issue too, when I power on and drag to unlock, I get a delayed mismatched response. I have to power off then back on again.
It started this recently, so might be app related.

Turn on " show touches" in developer options to help verify if you the save thing happening.
I don't have to reboot mine but I have to lift finger of screen and put back on to get it to properly detect where the touch should be.

So just as a follow up I reverted to stock for 5 days and didn't see this issue. Flashed back to AOKP and Franco kernel and now it's happening randomly when I go to hang up a call. I tap on the red hang up bar and it detects the touch in the top left corner.
I called Google play support but since I didn't buy my device from them they directed me to lg.
I'm starting to think it's my screen protector.

lol, I had insensitivity issues on the bottom of the screen way back, I use a displayed pin pad on lockscreen so I just tap a certain spot to unlock, I sometimes wonder why the digitizer register incorrectly.
flashing a different kernel helped, I'm using motleys.
Have had this problem since launch, im on stock rooted, maybe its a certain app?
If anyone wants to compare their apps with me to find a similar problem, shoot me a pm
Is anyone having issues with the LG G2 touch screen.
The things I'm noticing is
guesture typing it loses it's trail and begins a new word. So if I'm trying to spell "Think," it'll get the "TH" then space it out and get some other string of letters etc.
Web Browsing; it'll click a link I'm not trying to
Zooming in on photos and scrolling while it's zoomed it'll sparatically zoom out or move to the next pic
There's several other things that I can't seem to get to replicate! Anyway with my research here's what I came up with.
My issue is much like this but far less easy to replicate!!! And not nearly as bad. How ever I was able to do it when my phone started having symptoms I pulled up the note pad and it did exactly like this just way less significant.

I was having issues like that with gesture typing on both swift and stock keyboards. Basically it would just add all kinds of random entries. In another thread someone suggested using a microfiber cloth on the screen. It seems to be working now.

Just noticed that mine does the same thing... But it's not consistent, only happens once in a while. After I reboot it's fine. Really weird.
I posted earlier, looks like it didn't make it up. I had same issue, I tried flashing back to stock, assuming I had done something with rooting it, tried making sure that it was not an issue with ram bring to low, nothing fixed it. Took phone back to att, replaced it, havent had the issue once since then. I'm rooted, flashed and modded work no I'll effects. If you are within your return period, I would suggest that you return.

Well I have seen some quality control issues with these phones for sure... I'm still on stock and not rooted and mine does this. Going to have to go by the Verizon store Monday and get a new one.

I made a video to help illustrate what's going on!
Well I got a replacement phone and the problem is still happening. So I went into the shed grabbed my old Cyanogenmod MyTouch 3G and I plan to use that until the Nexus 5 comes out. Hopefully I'll get a launch unit.
Just holding this little phone makes me feel all nostalgic lol. I bought it in 2009 and it still holds a decent charge.

Are you just going to wait until the nexus 5 comes out and then take your g2 back, tell them that this is the second one that has done this, and demand they replace it with the "newer g2" ie Nexus 5? I thought about this!
I'm hoping this is a software issue..mine is really annoying
