My Screen is Touching Itself

Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.

ROFLMAO
That is by far the funniest thread title I've seen on here yet
It does sound like a hardware issue though.

Hehe....nice title

Yeah I agree with the person who suggested it was a hardware issue. Always worth getting someone to check it out for you

Tell it to stop or it will go blind.

is it happening only while phone is being charged or all the time?

No water damage or anything. I do use a screen protector but it looks flawless in the affected corner

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though

I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.
Thanks,

this is so true

I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Try samfirmware.com, down at the botton of the GT I9000 firmwares are the provider's ones.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

About to buy a atrix, anything to look for in particular?

What are some red flags I should look for? I will be getting the phone with an otter box case, lapdock and also a cardock that I will have no use for. The phone and everything is pretty much all brand new and the guy clams it was never rooted or hacked. What are some things I should look for and test besides the obvious? Did these have any screen issues? I just dropped my Galaxy S2 cause of the tremendous screen defects.

Boot it up and check the top left corner of the screen. If it says UNLOCKED then he's lying.
Also, you might want to check for dust under the screen as it could get annoying if you find out later on

Thanks for the swift reply! I was actually gonna be bringing my T-Mobile Sim card along and popping it in. And damn these get the dust under the screen also?
EDIT: Oh did you mean UNLOCKED as far as if it's ever been rooted or hacked?

I though flashing certain ROMs hid the "unlock" text at the top left during boot...?

Yep, the unlocked is refering to an unlocked bootloader. There would be no reason to unlock the bootloader if you werent going to put a custom rom on it or root (gingerbread based) firmwares.
As for things to look for... while this phone has excelent call quality a minority of users have some issues with voices sounding garbled on either end. You might want to throw a sim card in and make a test phone call to see if the one being sold is problematic.

Not sure about that. Ive tried several roms and still had the "UNLOCKED" text on the top left corner. The only time that happened was when I messed up the guide for unlocking bootloader and it disappeared. I have jumped from CM7 to Darkside etcc.. and back. So far its still there.

I would look for the moisture indicator. It varies on where it is located but it should be under the battery door near the sim slot or under the battery itself. It should be a little white circle, if it is red (I think) then it has been exposed to water.

Dust can get under the screen as the digitiser isn't glued to the LCD which makes it easier to repair but problematic for dust (but you can open it if it gets too bad and clean it out which is always a plus).
Yes, the unlocked message means that the person has unlocked the bootloader and messed around with custom roms etc. Check for it to see if he's truthful but if he was clever he could've flashed an SBF which got rid of the unlocked message (and the only way to be sure is to do something in terminal emulator which i can't remember).
Checking the moisture sticker is a must!

As @W3BSurfer mentions, it will still be visible going from ROM to ROM but if you flash an SBF with RSDlite (as @coolnow mentions) then it will be hidden. So, if the guy flashed the official SBF then it really wouldn't matter because it would be stock and should pass the MD5 checksum for future "official" updates (if that is the concern).

That's good and all, but the seller is saying they haven't messed with it so it's more to do with trust than anything. If they have indeed flashed the phone and said they didn't, then what else have they done that they aren't saying?

Very good point. I usually don't trust anyone when buying things anyways and the simple act of inspecting the phone shows a lack of trust regardless but I do agree with you.

[Q] Section of touch screen not working

Please see attachment, it is a screenshot similar to the problem I have.
A part of the screen is not touch-respondsive. It only happened recently, never had this problem before.
Possible to fix? I have trouble unlocking the 9 dots pattern everytime I turn on the phone because of this problem.
Please help, thanks.

Never mind, flashed a different kernal and its working now.
edit: Wait, no it's still there.
update: I wiped everything and installed factory 4.2.2 patch (occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz) but still cannot fix this problem. Please help!
update: Tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027476 still not working :crying:
update: This also not working for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163924... possible hardware issue?
verdict: I will live with this for now, after 1 day and still can't fix it then I will contact google hopefully for a replacement.

bump

I am having the exact same issue. That almost makes me think it could be a software issue but you said you already did a factory reset.
The weird thing is that it looks like the same part of the screen. Its a horizontal section in the very middle.
My best conclusions are that its the digitizer. It just started happening out of no where though. Very frustrating. Makes it impossible to hit the send button on the stock messaging app without minimizing the keyboard! I take excellent care of my Nexus 4. It has a case and it hasn't been dropped. It hardly has a scratch on it! Its a month old.

Strongertyer I can feel your frustration.
Here's mine (the one in my op was found from google). Mine is a bit lower, it blocks the top half of the qwer line on the keyboard and the yes/no buttons on prompt windows.
I can still type qwer just fine by pressing the bottom half of the keys, but for the the prompts I have to tilt and rotate the screen every time so the buttons aren't under the "dead zone".
Strongtyer are you also thinking of sending the phone back to Google?

Just talked to support and they seemed helpful. However, his first suggestion was to do a factory reset of course. He said if that didn't work then I could send my phone back for a replacement. Did a factory reset and still the same issue. Looks like I'll be calling again tomorrow.
I guess the plus side is that they send brand new phones and not just refurbished ones.
Any luck on your end?

I gave up fixing it already as you can see in my 2nd post and I believe it is not possible to fix it other than having the whole screen replaced, so I asked directly for a replacement under warranty. Then after a brief moment google emailed me a set of instructions for packing the phone.
So on Sunday evening I booked the courier, printed the documents, picked everything back in the box, warped and taped it. And today the courier came and collected my phone.
Now I have to use my good old HTC Legend again. However it uses regular SIM card, so I had a bit of fun making myself an adapter to up size the Nexus 4's micro-sim!

I talked to Google today and they are sending me a replacement. They told me I can keep the phone till the new one arrives. I just have to return it within 21 days.
Just crossing my fingers that they don't say the damage is my fault. I don't know how o could have caused it. I haven't does it and I take really good care of it.

You should contact google anyway if you want a warranty replacement. Go to the link below, click contact google, answer a few check box questions and there should be a phone number.
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?hl=en&ref_topic=2803008
Because I believe that the only way to fix this is to have the screen replaced.

Have the same problem here. I have the phone for 1 month now.
I live in the Netherlands and the nexus 4 did not get official release here. Should I still contact Google?
Could it be this problem only happens with the newer phone's? I have the one with the little feet on the back. Version 605 I thought. What version do you guys have?
Also should I unroot and lock the boot loader when I send it in for repair ?even though the problem has nothing to do with it.
Sorry for the poor English...

Welcome to xda-developers. Your English is fine.
You should contact Google.
Interesting that you mention the newer version of the phone -- I'd be interested in knowing if this is in fact a result of a newer manufacturing process, different materials, or maybe the place of manufacture (Korea or China). The place of manufacture can be identified by the letter in the fourth position of the serial number found on the box.

can someone update us on this issue? I have the same problem and i am so sad! I saved up 8 months to get this phone!

Digitizer, for what I know.
But no easy solution.
Would have happened due to the faulty charger.
But google is not helping!

Is there any other fix other than an RMA (currently not in the US)? :crying:

I have this same screen issue. Mine is is first row from top which makes it very frustrating. I am on 4.4.2 and still have this issue.
Can you describe what you've tried in more detail?

I have the same problem but mine is like 2 inches from the bottom of the screen. I can use the softkeys in portrait but they are unusable in landscape. I have had the phone since Nov 12 so sadly my phone is now out of warranty. LG's approved repair centre want £95 for a new screen. I am thinking maybe buy a Nexus 5 and trade this in for £70. I could sell it for like £130 but I would feel bad selling a phone I know the screen is on its last legs.

[Q] Considering a switch from HTC One

Hi guys
I'm considering making a switch from HTC One to S4. I just a have a few quick questions:
1. I'll be buying the I9500 version; will it support LTE in Canada and HSDPA/3G in Spain?
2. Are there any "issues" in S4 that a lot of people are being affected by? Such as the "purple tint" issue in HTC One. (Which is why I'm considering tossing my One.)
Thanks for your help guys!

1. I9500 is only 3G. Buy the international i9505 for LTE Support.
2. If you are talking about hardware problem. AFAIK only the battery swelling issue. Which is highly resolvable by claiming it to your warranty.
Note: I too came from HTC One but gave it up because of the purple tinting issue. As much as I don't want to leave my One because of its beautiful design.. I just can't stand the purple tinting issue..

The camera sensor has a hardware problem that generates huge amounts of red and blue noise (makes it purple) in low light situations. It gets worse with time and can only be fixed by changing the sensor. It affects about 85% of Ones shipped to date according to a large poll here on xda. Mine is one of those...
The S4 camera is very good from what I know although it seems like a similar purple issue is showing up on the note 3

Thanks for your reply. I absolutely don't wanna sell my One, but I'm kinda being forced to. I bought it from the US and HTC won't honour the warranty in India
And regarding the S4, only I9500 is available in India, so that puts me in a fix, again.

If you could live with the purple tinting issue. I suggest you keep your One. Then just bring along a point and shoot camera. Then maybe wait next year to buy a new phone. We both share the sentiments, if not because of that purple tint issue, I would have not given up my one. Because here in our country, there are less people who use HTC. I tend to use something that is not common but like I said I can't stand the purple tint issue. And samsung is what comes in my option next to HTC.

If camera is your concern then the i9500 has slightly better camera than i9505 ... i have the i9500 and i m a bit disappointed about it's development and no HMP after all but it's a solid device ... i don't know how now performs compared to the i9505 but when i bought it with the first firmware versions the i9500 performed slightly better in real life scenarios not bechmarks ...
Also if you re fine with stock then the only thing you ll miss is opengl 3.0 support nothing else ...
But keep in mind ... the s4 overheats more than the one ... either version

I have both the phones and love the htc one overall.Not saying s4 is bad but HTC one is 100 and s4 is like 95 to me.

The reason why I came back to android after using an iPhone for a year was freedom. This would probably be my last Samsung device.

I never had a problem and when I did have a screen problem it was because I had a JDI one and I fixed it. Its an awesome phone (Better than S4) so you should really try playing with it. Rooting it is also another option and I dont think custom roms give you the touchscreen problem.

Since when I had my phone repaired and they had to change out my prox sensor, screen, and digitizer, I really think it's a hardware issue.

Just had to have my D801 replaced by T-Mobile for an issue where the screen was picking up two finger touches instead of just one in a small area in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Warranty replacement was easy but I wish this wasn't an issue.. I love this phone.

I was going to do that with TMO, but they wanted $19.99 "processing fee" or something ridiculous. On top of that, I'd get a refurb device. I ended up going through LG - they had my phone for about two weeks.
Like I said though, the issue is back..

as i was going to buy the korean version without warranty... I think it is not a wise decision to do that seeing so many issues with the lg g2 screen... I am disappointed as this phone looked like my ideal phone with ideal screen size (not too big, not too small) with a good camera... but I don't want to take a risk on the screen issue.. I have the htc desire and it has issue with multitouch and it is very frustrating (can't even rotate on gmaps) ... I don't want this again lol
