Hi all,
My N4 is a week old and there is a thing with the screen.
When on portrait mode, the area of the "c" letter isn't working and when on landscape mode, the "o" and/or "p" area isn't working.
Tried to switch to CM 10.1 but same issue there.
Tried different keyboard, same issue.
Anyone had it? Know what to do?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
J.
anyone?

Help!
Anyone?
Does it respond when clicking on another screen where those same touches would be? Try to gently mark the spots you aren't getting a response and then go to another screen, like a link of some kind and see if you get a response. If you don't, I would say it's definitely a hardware issue and RMA time.

First thing: Activate developer options (Hitting build number in phone info seven times) and activate "show touches" and "pointer locations". Thus, you can locate your weak spot precisley (do it for landscape and portrait mode)
Then, do what the post above says. Check responsivness in other apps, browser, etc..
Next, I would install some kind of multi-touch-check app. With that, check again your weak point including multi touch responsivness. perhaps it has something to do with multitouch input - who knows.
If the problem in consistent, i would recommend to do an rma.
Edit: after finding out the location, lock the phone (display off) and have a look at the display. In bright light and under a certain angle, you can slightly see the digitizer. If the defective locatios corresponds to one digitizer substructre, it is a hardware fault (pretty sure)

I did some searching for someone reporting a similar issue but i didnt find anything.
my question is with an issue im having with my cing 8125. when i slide the keyboard out, or even start to slide it out, the screen goes really crazy, and isnt readable. i tried to take some screen shots of it, but the issue doesnt show up on screen shots since the screen capture intercepts the signal before it gets to the display. has any one else had an issue like this? is it possible to open up my wizard and fix it, or am i stuck using the onscreen keyboard until i get a new phone?
Have you tried to reset your device? Maybe its really just a problem with your firmware. If it were a hardware problem, it would not only appear if you slide the keyboard out, i think.

Hi Guys,
Has anyone else noticed this problem? and / or Could you please test this too to see if it's a common issue?
I use the "phone keypad" style, to enter text as I find i'm the most efficient with that one. However when the phone is horizontal, on a table for example, the backspace key just does not respond. (Which is on the right hand side of the screen near the edge)
As soon as I pick it up, so the phone is at a 45 degree angle for example, the backspace "key" responds again.
In summary I have noticed the left and right areas of the screen do not appear to be very responsive / don't work when the phone is horizontal. The middle "keys" / area is fine.
Any ideas / anyone else?
Had it for a few weeks now, not dropped it or anything, and everything else seems great. What's the deal with replacements from Orange if necessary, do they have to "repair" it? (EEK!)
Cheers, Si
I think you are experiencing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4340678#post4340678
It seems to be more about whether your fingers are touching the bezel!

Rather than pick up the phone, just hold it using the thumb and forefinger and see if it works correctly. It seems to me that the touchscreen definitely works better so long as you're physically touching the device elsewhere than just using the screen. I do wonder if this is an artifact of the capacitive touch screen - I'd be interested to know if iPhones show the same behaviour.

I have an HTC hero and I am having problems with the bottom third of the screen. I cannot "click and hold" in order to drag a program icon, for instance. Instead it just registers the click, and not the hold! Very annoying.
I have MoDaCo custom rom 1.5 on it, but don't think this could be a software/firmware issue. I don't recall it being a problem before, so it appears it has developed a fault!
Nightmare. Anyone experienced anything similar and an easy way to fix it?

Hi,
I can't actually help you but i can tell you the first iphones would develop a similar problem with their touchscreen where sensitivity dropped off, especially near the edges. This turned out to be a coating wearing off.
This seems to be happening from time to time with capacitive screens.
If you are sure it's a hardware issue, i wouldn't hesitate to send it back.
Kr,

Have you tried re-starting the phone?
Yes, and it made no difference. But pulling the battery and restarting (I had to do this to get theserial number fot HTC support!) worked!!
Cheers
James
You could also download a "Draw" app to test all areas of the screen.
When I first had mine I had problems hitting the Backspace on the portrait keyboard, I tried a calibrate but I think its better now because my finger knows where to go.
I find my screen seems more responsive when the phone is in my hand, less so if lying on a table. Is this a quirk of a capacitve screen or more to do with the angle of attack?

This. It doesn't seem even remotely responsive when I have it lying down flat on any surface, but as soon as I pick it up it works again.

The metal bezel actually acts as a grounding point between the capacitive areas that don't have any adjacent space to get a good contact...

Some irony there.
Hey Guys,
I wonder if someone else has experienced the following: When you use your mobile during charge it's hard to use swype or "slide" through your apps since the display "jitters". I mean that when you try to do a straight line on the display it's not possible.
It's the same as with the issues the HTC HD2 displays suffered from.
It would be great if someone could confirm my experiences with the GalaxyS display.
Cheers!!!

Defective unit? mine doesnt do it.....
Well... don't know, however I didn't realize until I tried to "swype" a message. So tapping an Icon or similar "actions" work perfect. It only happens on swyping or e.g. when you slide in Launcher Pro and keep finger on display... then it doens't hold still but jums around all the time :-(
After the 3.1 update a few weeks ago I noticed that the area around the bottom of the screen just above the bottom tool bar (in landscape mode) is not responding to 'buttons' if they are in that area. I have to turn the screen to portrait mode and I can then hit the 'button'. The other odd thing is if I hit the tool bar (in landscape mode) it will pop up and be responsive with out a problem
Any ideas?

Stock or custom kernel?
Did this problem exist at all before hand? I assume not by the way you worded your question. Would you have anything against flashing back to stock again with factory images to test that issue again, and then update one more time?

Stock XOOM WIFI. It did not exist before the 3.1 update. I had not considered going back to stock but it is an idea.
Did you try to recalibrate your screen there is an app in the market that may help called touch recalibrate. Also I have a calibration ini file that you can place on the root of your SD card and reboot letting it recalibrate the touch screen? Let me know and I can send that to you?
