Here's a temporary solution, as this is said to be a combination of a software and a hardware defect. Just press the power button to lock the screen and press it again to get to the unlock screen. The screen will recalibrate.

I had similar problem.
I sent my phone to HTC, and received it next day with a replaced hardware
But after couple of days I placed screen protector and it caused the problem again.(But this time power button had no effect). So i removed it, and since then, more than a week, i don't have any problem with touchscreen.

Read the FAQ, question 5.

I had the same issue. HTC warranty dept considers this a hardware deffect and they offer a service repair IF the phone is still within the warranty period. So I sent my phone to HTC, received it back 10 days later. So far no issue.

It didn't explain why htc desire users don't experience the same problems.

how is it possible to know if they replaced the digitizer with a newer (non-bugged) model?

There is no such model, I believe.

Thanks to all for your input on this issue.
I tried everything and I end up staring from scratch. Reformatted and reinstalled the OS and that seems to work so far.

They do. Possibly to a lesser degree.

I have a related question: would replacing the digitizer by a brand new one (say, after "accidentally" dropping the phone and breaking the screen) fix this problem or not?

The FAQ says it's must be turned off and on?!?! shouldn't it be 'lock/unlock'?
also, brainstorming a permanent fix for this, maybe in the kernel:
What if after Xmin of the screen being on, the kernel flashed it off and on again?
i rather have my screen flashing .5 sec each 5min than loosing calls or pressing the wrong button at the most inconvenient time

Touch screen problem

Which method did you root your phone with?...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I dont remember. I was rooted, and than updated my phone to the latest moto release. Lost root and than i had to flash somethig to get root back and than to unlock the hotspot app.
This was about 2 or 3 months back. All was ok till about a month ago, when i dropped the phone to the floor. Noticed the screen issue shortly after. Not sure if the drop caused this tho. There are no scratches on the screen, and it had a silicone case on it.

do you think the problem came from dropping your phone or were you messing with something on your phone? and yes your warrentty is voided, but you could get your own new screen on ebay for like 30 buxs and fix it yourself

Not sure if the drop caused it. Maybe. I noticed the pb soon after. I didn't mees with the phone, other than rooting and enaibeling hotspot.
The screen on ebay, is it the same as the stock one? Same quality?

Try a advanced restore of pds.img from the cwm only to see if that fixes your problem.. Thats if you did backup from cwm..

No, i didn't back up anything. Just rooted. I barely mannaged to do that.

My phone had the same thing and I sbf'd back to 1.26 and took it back no problems. Mine was also unlocked.

I also have that problem, the problem is with the touchscreen not the software. At first, the touchscreen will not work for sometime you'll need to turn the screen off and on again. The problem will start more frequent. Then, the touchscreen on some part of the screen will not work at all. Only to fix is to call ATT for a repair. But, I live in Thailand and I brought mine at US. So, it not worth sending it back. I buy the touchscreen off ebay for $60 and change it myself. Working great now.

Pretty cheap on ebay, some for $40. My screen started acting the exact same way. I honestly believe it's heat damage. I remember reading that there are layers of the glass that are glued together. Extreme heat could cause the layers to come apart enough that sections of the screen are unusable.
My screen is exactly as the OP said, about a half-inch from the bar at the top. I noticed it soon after I started mounting the phone in my car near the top of the windshield where it could get some steady sunlight (obviously I didn't realize it was doing that until I noticed this problem).
I just ordered my replacement off ebay and will give it a shot. It's worth $40 if it'll let me use my phone properly again and hold off having to get a new phone prior to my upgrade price kicking in.
Hopefully installation won't be too hard. Good luck to the rest of ya!

This happen to my boyfriend's phone recently as well. I posted everywhere trying to find a solution but no one could help. It started to get worse after about a week or so where another section, towards the bottom of the screen, became unresponsive as well. My boyfriend finally called Motorola and sent it in for repair. We don't have ATT's insurance so we didn't try that way. Anyways, he's suppose to receive the phone this Monday...we'll see if it's fixed.

Did your touchscreen come with the adhesive? If not, you'll need to be extremely careful when you remove the old one cause you'll need the adhesive or you'll need the two sided tape with <0.25mm thick and apply it to around the touchscreen and remember to apply it as a close system or the dust will go under your screen.
If you need more info just PM me

I think i.ll call moto.

Did u get it back? Is it fixed?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Mine had the same issue, ive unlocked, rooted, modded the rom and radio, so no going to ATT, instead i took it to UbreakItIFixIt, just google them, best $99 i spent and kept all my custom goodies!

Sorry I haven't responded, hopefully you got your phone fixed but just in case you haven't...The phone came back and he hasn't had a problem with it whatsoever. The rep on the phone didn't know what was wrong with it or what they did to fix it but whatever they did, it worked. It took about a week or so to get the phone back and the only thing he had to pay for was shipping the phone out.

The IMEI sticker on the back? That's part of the screen protector that comes with the phone when you first opened the device. I thought it was separate when I had it on for the longest time haha.

What IMEI sticker?

Ditto.

I would say it shouldn't be a problem. The IMEI is software accessible and on the original box too. Probably internal on the casing as well. I am sure most people take this off with no issues. Mine is still on because I've had to RMA this phone and I am awaiting my replacement.

The IMEI is also found on the SIM tray.

The IMEI is displayed on several places as mentioned already.
Settings / About Phone / IMEI
is probably the easiest one to check.
So peel with confidence!
(But since it's an important thing to have you might want to write it down somewhere.
You know, in case your phone doesn't boot one day for whatever reason)

[Q] what happens if the serial number gets scraped off?

hi all,
I've just purchased an LG g2, everything is fine but upon reading the warranty conditions I've found out that the (European, in this case) warranty is considered void if the serial number becomes illegible or damaged. The thing is that the serial number on the rear of the phone seems already quite damageable, half of the sticker is already gone (imei and serial number are still perfectly legible though). Am I missing something here? I don't think the SN on the box would suffice in case I needed to avail myself of the warranty, is that right? sorry but it's my first device so maybe I'm making a blunder here
thank you

I am worried about the very same thing. Mine also started to scrape off I know somebody on here who simply peeled it off and saved it in the box. I don't know.

wouldn't the removal of the sticker be considered an alteration? I was considering sticking a piece of invisible wrap on it but it all really seems absurd to me
I guess that removing it and sending it along with the phone would be ok after all?

Yes, I thought the very same thing, hence the 'I don't know' in my previous post. I think that's the best idea. I was kinda surprised to see it already started fading despite the fact that I have a case on the phone. Funny thing is, according to Danish law it is prohibited to put on a sticker/anything that is warranty related, that can't last the entire warranty period without fading with normal usage.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

on some other threads I'm reading of people with other devices peeling it off right away and keeping it in the box; it's got to have its importance since without it I suppose it would be impossible to prove it's the legit phone you're sending (I don't think there's a SN inside the phone too), the question is whether keeping it in the box or on the phone is the same thing, hope there's someone here who knows for sure

I can't find it in the hidden menu nor in the 4636 menu

I've just peeled off mine, upon further googling it doesn't seem to have much to do with the warranty

EDIT:

I don't know if the displays are the same or not, so you'll have to do some research to try to determine that. Try to find the specific part numbers, if you can, of the different models and see if they match. Even if they look the same, have the same connectors, and whatnot, but are different part numbers, they usually won't work....

Anyone knows?

Please don't act on my information, research it first.
The url in the 2nd attachment is where I got the clipping of the text in the 1st attachment where they have taken both the SM-900 and the SM-9005 and seem to believe that both screens and digitizers are cross compatible.
Hope it helps,
Cheers.

I know for a FACT the screens are exactly the same size but as you say that does not mean the digitizer connections and ribbons may be slightly different on different regional Note 3's.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Do you want to replace the screen with frame? If so, you'll need to do some researches, as most of the screen comes with frame are not fit with each other. However, if you just want to replace the lcd and touchscreen without frame, then yes, they can fit and work.
