Display touching problem of Atrix

In order to be more focusing on this display problem of Atrix, I started this new post. And I hope every user who encounters this problem can leave a reply here.
Summary of the problem:
Wherever you touch on the screen, if you touch on the exact same spot for more than around 20 seconds, the touching signal will be lost. You have to retouch onto the screen to have the response back. You can identify the problem through some apps called "multitouch test" as they can visualize your touch but this problem is not related to multitouch.
On daily use, this is not a problem because you can hardly keep touching on the same position for more than 20 seconds. However, it is very annoying while you are playing games with atrix. For example, minisquadron, gun bros and Guerrilla Bob. These games require you keep touching the same position so as to "FIRE" a gun. You will notice your gun stop firing after sometime even though you are still holding the fire button.
For fixing the problem, I have sent a few emails to motorola and made a call with motorola. Finally I just received an aceptable reply:
Dear Consumer
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola for help. We could not immediately answer your question, so we are sending it on to our expert team for help. Please be patient while our experts evaluate your question. They will respond to you soon.
Regards,
- Motorola Consumer Support

I hope they really working on fixing the problem. However, if you do have the same problem, I really hope that you can also send Motorola a email reporting having this bug so as to give pressure on Motorola.
Thank you for your attention.

so this thread is just for people that have the bug to post? if so then I have it with my Bell atrix

This explains a problem I'm been having when browsing. I always use landscape mode and when reading lengthy pages apparently i'm exceeding 20 seconds at which point the touch screen loses my touch and i'm unable to scroll until I remove my finger for a few seconds and re-apply it.
I've confirmed that use case and your 'multi-touch test' app as well. I'm currently using OS version 1.57.

My Atrix ATT also has this problem. I am not sure if this is an issue. Many people report the same. MAD!!!

+1 here. Hope it's only a driver issue and can be corrected with an update.

I BELIEVE this is only a matter of firmware. It can be fixed by update but the first thing is to make MOTOROLA realize the problem and treat the problem seriously.

agree,this bug was made by them intentionally, its normalize your screen every 20-30 secs to prevents error touch like droplets water...lame implementation!!!
The problem now is to make MOTOROLA realize how serious is this problem and take immediate actions!!!!I ady posted few discussion on moto forum.

Gosh, I know this is unrelated, but when I scroll on this phone, it ALWAYS clicks on something I don't want it to (for example, the settings menu).
It really pisses me off.

YES YES YES!! THIS IS ALL TRUE!!! Although I feel like it just looses all response input at random. Maybe it is timed. Whatever it is, it's making my games almost unplayable (spider-man in particular).
That and the frikin touch screen accuracy sucks donkey balls. I CLEARLY tap a link and it selects another random link on the screen. Also, typing sucks (not nearly up to par as the iPhones) due to the crappy accuracy.

Unfortunately Moto announced today that Atrix/Xoom sales have been very crappy. This makes it sound like we're never getting another update due to low revenue.
When will these stupid companies learn that they'll do better if they just didn't touch the damn OS? They'll never make Android their own so they should be putting that effort into the hardware.

here is that information? about the probleme I have this probleme too :S

just lodge the complain using the online support chat.hope they will get it fix soon

i dont want to test to see if I have this problem (cant handle much more disappointment).
However I will say .. I had my Atrix for 2 days now. The third app i downloaded was Draw(er), just a simple free touch sketching program. Drew some things, then decided to test the touch screen.
DO/DOES YOUR PHONE(s) DO THIS ALSO:

I was not able to draw in that far left/far right area of the screen (with phone held in portrait mode). I guess its not a big deal in normal usage, but that bugs me. Some apps/games have controls in that area that one would need to grab. On Atrix it would be impossible to do so accurately, if at all.
Thankfully I'm still within my 30 day return period. 95% chance this thing is going back before the time is up. IF only to help remind Motorola YOU CANNOT TAKE AN OPEN-SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM, LOCK IT DOWN, AND CALL IT YOUR OWN. (I'm soured by Motorola's locked bootloader, as I've come from a long/enjoyable history of HTC phones running WinMo)

I can draw at the edge??

here is a video of the glitch. sorry it takes a while this time for it to recognize. http://www.youtube.com/user/Graemegb1?feature=mhum#p/u/7/nce519w3Lak

Is this problem with all the atixs like 100% of them or is it random models that get it?

it's on all the atrix.

He is moving a lot on the scree so that the problem takes longer time to come out.
It takes much shorter time to recognize the problem it touching without moving.

[q] nexus 4 acting weird (possessed)

Hey guys
I hope you can help me, after 4.3 update my nexus starts working weird, like it has been possessed, suddenly it start playing by itself the screen starts moving and open some applications by itself....it recovers when i press the powen buttom two times, so it get back to normal. But this problem has started continuesly apprearing, sometimes im texting and then the phone press some buttoms by itself....so weird.
At the beginning i though i had a virus so i downloaded avast but the problem was still there, then i though mm it might by the image.
So i unlocked the bootloader and then, flash image 4.3, seems the problem was resolved but after 30 min it was there again.
I though OK maybe 4.3 its the problem, i flashed 4.2 but it was worst.
I was reading another post and it seems some users that has NEXUS 7 are experience the same issue:

Yeah haha i dont know how to call it ? The screen start moving randomly and never stop moving, if you open the application list, then some of the application start loading without any touch, its like someone is playing with your device while you are using it haha.

Try an excorcism by doing a data factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and restore. if that doesn`t help reflash the factory image in fastboot.

well i have not paid attention on that.
But the problem does not appear everytime, for example right now ive been playing with it for 1 hour no lag so far.
But from time to time it appears, weird.
It really looks possessed haha

Do you have a screen protector on your Nexus? Sometimes some of the cheaper ones can cause interference with touchscreens, making them do that. (Happened to my old Droid Milestone)

Draw a pentagram " anyone will do. A good one is the alchemy circle from full metal alchemist "
Sacrifice two ducks, a rat, and two hundred donkeys and start channeling your thoughts and summon tool guy "aka Satan"
In all seriousness did your phone get wet? And I mean that in a totally non sexual way....

Ouch it's really acts like possessed one, you need to call some priest (kidding) :silly:
If seriously, what version of android are you using? It is got wet, or it's just started suddenly to act like this?

You're not alone, well then again i did get a replacement lcd/digitizer so it could be a problem with that.
But without a doubt i'm getting the same symptoms as you, sometimes my screen touches itself and what not.
Power on/off does solve it too.

If possible enable show touch events under developer options that will help you track down if its touch events.
my N4 has recently started showing these signs without any specific reason, its not possessed but what i can understand is my device has got a horizontal strip in middle of screen which is non responsive to touch and the random touch events are tracked to that specific region only.

I have the same problem. I've got a brand new nexus 4 and its really jumpy and the best possible way to describe it is definitely possessed. Does anyone have any solutions or shall i just send it back and get it replaced?

Battery issues after changing LCD & Camera

Now, I bought the battery a few mounths back and I had no problems with it. Then, I broked my LCD & Camera so I bought replacements online.
Now, I replaced everithing, all works fine, screen is working and camera is working as well, but, now my battery gives me troubles. I start to hear noises from back of the phone where the battery is connected to the motherboard, wich is weird. The phone shuts down sometimes and the battery percentage change, always lower. Also the battery drains fast sometimes w/out having apps running in background. ("I use greenify with xposed")...the battery really drains fast and when the percentage is near 50% the the phone start to shut itself down, and if I try to boot it sometimes it does, sometimes the phone shuts itself back immediately at the lg logo. (If I go in recovery mode the phone has no problem and it doesn shut down.)
I have this problem since I changed the LCD and the camera.
PS: For 2 weeks or something I had not encountered this problem, but 2 days ago it reappeared.
Any idea?

i think it could be the battery, if not maybe taking it apart and reassembling it might help?

Thanks bro, I allready did it and everithing seems ok. And the battery gave me no issues before replacing the screen so I really dont know.

Well i replaced my LCD and digitizer on my device lg g2 d802, now the knock on is not working, knock off works tho, tried many things which i found on this site, still doesnt work, so like original parts sometimes doesnt work well with replacement parts. Maybe cause replacement parts arent original perhaps. And for battery life, try greenify if you are rooted, if not rooted disable many bloated apps, and the google service apps which can be seen on settings disabling some really does help in SOT. (if you already know, much apologies). Cheers m8

Knok on is eazy to fix, type in the phone app "3845#*802#" then tap Settings and then update touchscreen firmware, then wait acouple of sec and it should start work...if not make sure you have enabled the feature in the settings app
Now, I already use greenify, amplify too. The real problem are the shutdowns wich are casual.
And the display is original, no doupt here

it doesnt work with that tho thats my problem. How much SOT you get while browsing and youtube? Btw have you enabled the 4k camera feature?

I'm on CloudyG2 3.3 now, and yes, I enabled the 4K rec in the camera. Btw I'm usinng xmod.
I'll try changing the battery, if this doesnt solve the problem I'll buy a new phone and done. ?

Had the same problems with a few LCD replacements.
The only fix I had is oem screen replacement with another G2 screen that didn't do it.
May have to try a few screens until you find one that doesn't do this to your phone.

6P Sudden Screen Failure

So i was scrolling through my facebook feed today and suddenly the left vertical half of the display started to flicker bright white. I was like #WTF is this? The right half went dark while the left was blinking randomly (once every 10 or 30 sec).
Reboot did not help; Called Google and told them about the issue.
I was told that this was the first of its kind issue reported and this needs to be investigated. :eek . As i was about to end the call the agent told me the replacement request is approved. :highfive:
This is my second 6P (first one had network connectivity issues) and I hope the third one doesn't give me any problems. This makes me doubt the Huawei build and hardware quality seriously, since many people have reported defective units being received.
These are the pictures of my defective device (32GB Aluminium):

A week after I bought mine a thin green line showed up on left edge. It got more noticeable with different colors. I sent it in and they fixed and sent it back....been fine ever since.

This also happened to me. It was a colored line vertical on the left side. It then changed to a very bright white line. I got the screen replaced out of pocket.

For the people with the broken displays, try this to recovery some data if you need it in the meantime of repair, or if you're replacing the device out of pocket etc.
1. Turn off your device
2. Boot to bootloader (hold Power + Volume Down), and wait a bit to be sure you're in the bootloader
2a. Flash twrp if you don't already have twrp
3. Scroll down to recovery - Two volume down clicks if nothing is visible
4. Hit the power button
5. Use the USB to USB C adapter that came with your phone, one side into your computer and one into your phone
6. Pull files FROM your phone to your computer if you have any important files
As for the stock firmware attempt after backing up important stuff
Steps 1-2 from above
3. Download the stock firmware of your choice
4. Flash stock, your choice to wipe userdata or not, instructions in the Sticky Thread
5. Press the power button on the bootloader after the device is done with the process from the fastboot side of things.

How do you know if your GPS Hardware working or not

How do you know if your GPS working or Hardware defective
I install Dr. Ketan L16 version ROM for my note 4 and did all the instruction to full wipe and install clean ROM but my GPS not working properly ( it s keep bouncing while I drive my can and never stayed in the road but when I reach my destination GPS helper sound say you arrived to your destination although the arrow for direction does not accompany me and there is no one telling trun right or turn lift even though I make sure that I did on the helper to speak while I drive) so my conclusion is it is not working as it should be I contact Dr. Ketan and he replied to me that there is no problem and no one report that tere is a GPS problem so I would like to know and want your help on how to discover if it is GPS haredware or software problem in my note 4 my device is N910f please I am really disparete to know the solution.
please help me I do not want to change Dr. Ketan ROM it is really rock if you have a similar powerful ROM tell me it's name I tryied Kuby rom also it's very good but I notice some battery drain even though I do not use my phone and no wifi and I am not using it it drop down from 100 to 90 present in one hour also I want to mention that my Battery is brand new.

I had the same problem. My GPS used to work well but someday when I needed it, I discovered it was not working anymore. I tried many different roms, many tweaks, many apps, nothing helped, my GPS was next to unusable. I finally found the strength to crack it open. The GPS connectors were not touching the back of the phone where the antenna is, no connection was made and so the GPS was not working. I raised the pins just a little and now everything is perfect. It seems to be a common problem among Note 4 users. Opening N4 is not the easiest thing in the world, but if I have made it, then many people should be able too.
First thing to do is try this app. If you cannot get a strong lock in 1 minutes max, maybe you should consider the hardware problem.

thank you man I will try but please tell me if you have a trusted apk that can tell you weather your GPS hardware is working or not. or something similar to this.

See after installation this is what I got

I do not think that there's an app to definitely tell you that your GPS hardware is faulty. The app you used gives only clues and your picture indicates that your GPS is not receiving any satellite signal. Mine used to show the same thing. The GPS pins are located on the upper right corner of the phone, as you watch the phone from the back.
This video shows how to open Note 4, it helped me a great deal.

You are welcome my friend. If this is actually the problem, then it's easy to fix, once the device is open. And maybe you should tell the technician to put a tiny piece of paper under the GPS pins, so they cannot loose connection again. I did not do that and now I'm just waiting for the pins to get loose again, so I can open it again and fix it once and for all.

In any case ask a moderator to move the topic to Q&A section!

please do not move it just yet today I am going to a workshop and if it's a GPS pin problem I will report with picture then you can close it and remove it... please just wait
