So I recently updated to 4.3 on my N4. I'm running stock, no root, kernel changes, or build adjustments.
I've looked through the forums and browsed google to see if this might be a Nexus 4 issue or a 4.3 bug.
I've noticed that if I'm in any app (most noticeable in the stock messaging app) and the screen times out, the next time I unlock the device and attempt to hit the back button it will not do anything. If I hit the home button or the "multi-task window" button I can back out or close the app I'm in.
Going back into the app shows no sign of any issue. Doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to the issue.
Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice on a fix or ran into the same issue.
At this point the only thing I can think of is a factory reset, and it's more of an annoyance at this point.
I recognize your problem. Had this in a particular app (flitsmeister) myself.
Pushing the back button won't exit the app or app is unresponsive.
This bug sometimes showed up, but not constantly.
I had this problem in 4.2.2 already and haven't found a fix.
Send from my Nexus 4
Pretty much sums up the issue I'm having. That at least tells me it's an Android based issue although isn't exclusive to 4.3. Thanks for the reply.
Same issue... Why isnt google acknowledging the issue?
I had same problem in PA 8/3 trying to back out of phone app or contacts tab even after just opening. fixed in 8/06 PA. idk what change was made though to fix it

Hey guys,
In the last two weeks i've noticed that my Knock On feature stopped working completely. It will Knock Off but it will not knock on. Also, my pull down notification menu will have issues. i will start to pull down and it will "catch" and then stop. It appears to pull down still as long as I stop at the spot it is having problem.
I am running Scott's Clean ROM with no other Mods. Uninstalled all apps since the problem, still nothing. Also, I have tried wiping cache and davlik cache. Still nothing.
Any one else having this issues or a solution? Thanks!

Yeah I have that problem, I had to send my phone to LG for repair.I'm due to get it back this week.
Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
I received my phone back on Saturday, on the return docs it just said 'replaced touch screen'. It's working fine but I'm surprised they replaced the screen, I expected it to be a software issue to be honest.
Had the same issue att sent me a new one
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This just started happening for me too. It's a bar across the screen near the top, which happens to be in line with the power button on back. Considering the knock on stops working, and it being right in line with the power button I feel like it would be software related, but updating to Kit Kat / factory reset did nothing for me. Also I did nothing to my phone to suddenly cause a hardware failure. Hopefully LG is trying to resolve. I am giving it a couple weeks before I try a warranty repair -- a friend of mine had the same issue and it suddenly went away.
I had the same issue for a day then and went away and now its back again.
I don't know if that is hardware or software issue.
Anyone got some info about it? I don't got any warranty so I would like to know more about this issue before paying for screen replacement.
I've had my Nexus 4 since it launched in Oct/Nov 2012 (Don't remember the month), and I've had no problems until recently.
I've searched touch screen and digitizer issues and didn't see anything specifically like I'm having. I've been running my Nexus 4 stock and unrooted since I got it, and recently the navigation bar goes crazy. And by crazy, I mean it thinks I'm pushing back/home/recent apps over and over again. Sometimes it goes away for an hour or so, and then it will come back.
I've installed LiquidSmooth and am using the PIE navigation for now, but does anyone know what is causing this? I figured it would be software, but its still doing it after I installed a custom ROM, so now I'm thinking its a hardware issue.
Anyone else have this? Any ideas on what could fix it?
Thanks!
might be hardware,digitizer issue, i would fastboot back to stock and factory reset and see if it persists. backup first though.
so with pie does it still goes crazy where the navibar should be?, go in developers menu and select show pointer location when it does
Hi guys
I recently bought an OnePlus 2. With the original firmware, I experienced a very strange and very annoying issue: My screen randomly turned off (e.g. during a chat in WhatsApp). The screen turns off and I have to turn it on again by pressing the power button. Then I enter my PIN to access my phone again and it locks AGAIN. This happens like 10 times in a row, then I have to reboot the phone and it was OK again. I seriously don't know what triggered this issue.
However, recently I got pissed of because I tried to call one of my customers and as soon as I entered my PIN and tried to open the phone app, the screen locked again and I almost threw away my phone. Damned troll.
So I decided to try another ROM as I thought it was an OS-related issue. Now I'm running Exodus Android 6.0.1. I did a clean install and guess what: The issue came back on this ROM...
In my opinion there's only something both installations (my previous 5.1.1 stock ROM and my current 6.0.1 ROM) have in common: I've been using XPosed with Amplify, Greenify and XPrivacy. Other than that, I have no idea what it might be.
Have you encountered the same or a similar issue? If so, were you able to solve it? How did you solve it?
I just uninstalled Amplify, as I think it stops somehow the Gyroscope service, that's why it locks randomly. I'll check if the issue appears again...
I think I have good news for you guys: I guess I was able to locate the issue.
I noticed it always happened when I was holding the phone in the hand I had a ring on my finger. Then I found out the phone has magnetic sensors (for flip covers).
I downloaded the Xposed module "Magnet Sensor Control", the bug hasn't appeared so far!
I hope I was able to help you guys with my findings. This thread may be closed now.
Hey guys! I've seen a few threads on this exact issue, but I haven't been able to find any real advice. So a few days ago I updated my Moto X Pure to the newest security patch. A day later the nav keys started to not respond to touch. Occasionally they work but most times they don't. Is anyone having this same problem? Do you know a fix? Thanks!

Did you factory reset? It is not the optimal solution as it takes time, but a reset dues fix the majority of issues phones have after an OTA. If you still have problems after this report back. I did the factory reset immediately after the latest OTA and had no issues. Android practically restored nearly everything app wise. All I had to do was wait it out.
FR does not work
I have the same problem, just did a factory reset but still not working, is weird to find out that is not a touch "hardware" fault, since I got into the configuration I am able to tap the next and backs buttons also the mic icon and camera works in the locked screen, the problem is only in the "Home bar" or soft key bar i don`t know the name. If someone had a solution please share.
I am also having same problem in my moto x style..

I am also having same problem. So I take my phone to moto services centre but they are also failed to resolve this problem..
Hey! So, give this a try:
Install Nova launcher, then on the home screen long press and click widgets. In the widgets section, at the top there should be an option called "Activites" long press and put that on the home screen, then it should ask you which activity. scroll to the "S" section, and select "Setup wizard" and then select "SetupWizardTestActivity".
Once that wizard is set as a widget, click the widget and go through the wizard again, and see if that does it. It did it for me, on many occasions haha
Hi, I am also facing this issue. I did the Nova launcher steps, and it worked for couple of days. Then, the same issue happened. I did factory reset of my phone and now i can't configure the phone as I can't get past the wifi selection screen. Stuck with this.

As in you're stuck in the setup wizard? Do you have root by chance?
I'm having the same problem, nothing works :crying:
So it is not just me, wow!
2 days ago my touchscreen started acting out, now I have a deadzone at the navigation bar. I've been using my phone upside down, if anyone has been through this and fixed it please let me know.
Guess what!
I just did a downgrade using ADT so I flashed my Moto X Pure to Lolipop to validate my theory but no success.
I can said that the touching problem is a hardware issue and not a software like I was thinking.
Why is this happening, IDK but let me ask you if you did the same "ordinary behaviour" like me.
The day my Moto X starts to get like crazy getting ghost touchings and ghost slidings I was having my cellphone in my back pocket and driving my motorcycle mid trip 3-4 hours.
When I took my phone out to take some pictures I got a hot phone and the touchy doing crazy ghosty responses.
I turned the phone off but when I restarted like a minute after the ghosty touching was persistent, turned off the phone again and like an hour latter turned on, no more ghosty touches but the softkeys ( back, home, tasks) stopped working.
I read before that for some tablets this is caused by the protection case and they removed the case and worked again, well is not my case since I have not any case attached to my phone, but seems to be some bad pressure in some part that damage the touch area.
Please share your comments if you applied some pressure like me sitting in the phone, for me is a "ordinary behavior" (having my phone in my levi's rear pocket) but for Motorola seems too much.
this happened to my phone as well "After a Security Patch Update thru OTA" and navbar stopped working the Other Day and I guess we shall wait for the Next update to by MOTO "ANDROID NAUGAT 7". but for Now I use simple Control navbar from Play store Until The OTA update fix the problem.
on Lock screen mic and Camera shortcut works Properly so is the software issue....
I'm trying help my friend with her Moto X Style. It has the same problem and I could test the screen with a screen tester. And works fine all touchscreen. Apears that programing for buttons was missing.

Just happened to me as well with a Moto X Pure - was driving in my car, security updated...buttons stopped working and have found zero way to get them back. They work when you flip the phone upside down, also work when the phone is locked to drag the camera or microphone shortcuts up, they just dont work on the 200x1080 pixel bar across the bottom.
-Uninstalled all "Screen Overlay" apps - nothing
-Boot to recovery and wiped cache partition - nothing
-Factory Reset the phone with Auto Restore - nothing
-Factory Reset with NO Auto Restore - nothing
-Factory Reset and 100% setup as a new device - nothing.
I cant believe there is no fix for this yet? How can a company rollout a security update that for the most part makes the phone very unuseable, cant even seem to see that they have addressed this.
No issues with mine and I am running the Dec patch.
Almost sounds like it was a corrupted OTA release. It could have been a server issue or whatnot. Call Lenovo/Moto support of the touchscreen is working in the navbar area but the navbar itself isn't. It is worth a try even if out of warranty. The worst they can say is they can't help.

I installed a custom ROM with your OWN buttons and saved that device.
I Installed a Resurrection Remix on her Moto X Style, the battery sucks, but the device is working.

Nope, so far there is no video you youtube, no actual fix on any forums or no actual working solution whatsoever. This is ****ing pathetic, Motorola a Fortune 100 company released a security patch that clearly effected a small percentage of their phones. They have not addressed it or even offered to rush another patch that ADDS BACK IN THE PROGRAMMING for the 200x1080 bottom bar.
That is the problem, someone on a thread I found had dissected the patch, and the line for "Program; TouchPoints x200x1080 were just missing"
With this being more than just a few hundred phones, one would think they would actually try to assist. NOPE
Currently using a SoftKey App on the side of my screen, never buying motorola again after this type of blatant disregard for customer support.

Same problem here. Today morning, my 2015 Moto X Style just stopped working (the buttons). I did not do any update or install anything. So I do not really understand what you talk about here - it was an automatic whatever from Motorola that broke all the phones? That's ridiculous! Like a virus
I'm using the old Android Lollipop BTW - anyone knows if this issue remains on the new system? I never update due to serious slow down after it. Both Google and Apple are complete assholes when it comes to updates. So I've just been ignoring their "brand new awesome cool all is gonna work releases"
I've been a proud Moto user for years now. This is just unacceptable. They're gonna loose big with this one.
If you would do a factory reset after flashing the newest major rom releases it would be plenty fast.
