Hi,
I am having a peculiar problem with my screen. For most of the screen the alignment is perfect except for a particular region of my screen [the portion near the "New" button at the bottom left] has got a different alignment. I have tried to run the screen alignment software several times and hard booted my device several times but no luck.... The screen is not broken nor any portion of the device. I have being using this device for 2 years now and i had no problems yet, but this is a very wiered problem whose resolution i tried to find in many xda forums but no luck... Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem. Do i need to change my screen or chuck the phone
One more thing, We dont have a XDA repair center in Mumbai, India... Does anyone know a good shop where i can get my XDA repaired!!!!
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
Last days my Nexus 4 start to have a problem:
the imaginary middle horizontal line of my touch doesn't work fine.....it's just a line!
It makes difficult to scroll o to posh down the notification bar, to tap or click and so on!
I'm not sure it's physically damaged!
I've installed CM 10.2 20131026.
I saw someone else have this kind of problem, but everyone is a noob! (About like me)
Just for info, I've tried to use the developer setting to "view the taps".... it confirmed the problem!
Thanks in advance guys!

Nexus 4 on the roll!!!!
restore to stock and check if its still there, generally you use the phone for a few days to check if its alright before you flash
No solutions guys, now I've two horizontal not working lines!!!!! Digitizer broken maybe.....
Nexus 4 on the roll!!!!
Seems to be the same problem that I got. I also opened a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660476
And I did a bit of research and it seems to be a known hardware issue. I will return it with warranty I guess.
Edit: Take a look at my screens I did in the thread. Or try it on your own with any screen tester app.
I just had this happen to me. I just get the nexus 4 from t-mobile last week. And know the touch screen is no working in the middle of the screen. I got a replacement coming. But I was play with its some time work normal if I had it plug in for 30min or more..
I just like to know how common is this issue. I hope it not that common. because I just paid 30 for the phone the first time and now I paid 20 for the replacement. They gave me the option to get a different phone. I hope its just a uncommon thing. they did made over 500,000 phone.
its just a bad digitizer.
(its specific to some areas due to lg´s zero gap techonology)
For a few weeks my G2 was showing some very weird touchscreen issues, like ghost touches and dead spots where touching wouldn't do any good. Although the former problem seems to have been gone, the latter looks kinda permanent. But yesterday another problem showed up: my cellphone will only recognize touches if I long-press the screen for like three seconds. Eventually if I'm typing some password the touchscreen will work as well as ever but only for a short time, then I'll have to press the screen for three seconds for every touch I want to be registered by the device. Anyone has had this before or heard about this? Is there a fix? I looked at lots of threads before and none of them seemed to sympathize with my issues.
It looks hardware failure. My advise would be try and go into service menu and then settings and update touch firmware. You never know it might work

That was my first bet. It didn't help much.
I had the same problem and it comes back with random conditions. I had the digitizer replaced (not the complete LCD panel) which had my problem fixed for almost six seven months until the problem showed up again but the dead zone moved Much lower than before. I have not gone for LCD replacement because i don't know if it will fix my problem. There are numerous threads here. Go try them Maybe they will work out for you.
Hello all,
Something strange suddenly happened to my tmobile s7 edge, all of a sudden whenever I dim the brightness on the phone the screen goes crazy with flickers and greens. I need to set the brightness to the highest setting so the flicker can go away I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they found a fix that doesn't involve having to change the screen, I live outside the US and I bought the phone on EBAY so any chance of getting it replaced is not an option.
P.S I've never dropped my phone ((
That's a software issue, nothing is wrong with your phone. I had that on my S5 from Lollipop to Marshmallow. Hopefully somebody could give you a more in depth answer.

Its not a software issue it sounds like a hardware issue and some customers reported this problem on a german portal. They got a replacement of the display/board.

Its a hardware issue. You need to ask your Ebay seller to replace it if they have such guarantee.
Hey y'all,
Picked up a SM-N935L a few weeks ago. Last week, for no reason I can think of, the touchscreen started causing problems.
As of now, a 1 inch swath of the screen on left side doesn't respond to touches unless they are long touches. This is annoying on the homescreen, but IMPOSSIBLE when trying to type on the keyboard as the number key, shift, A, Q, and 1 key barely ever respond to touch.
AT first it was intermittent. Now it's permanent.
The S-Pen works perfectly, even in the affected area of the screen.
I tried flashing the original firmware the phone came with before the OTA, no dice.
Long story short, the phone is now back in it's box and I am back to my old n9005 Note 3.
Has anyone else run into this?
Before someone says that maybe the screen connector is loose on the motherboard, I cracked the phone open (heatgun, etc) and checked that. Not the issue.
I even tried the secret code *#6233*# which allows you to "update" the touchscreen firmware. No difference.
Any thoughts?
you didn't mention the software version you're using.... did you update to the latest OTA for the L version of the Note FE? Google Translation change log
Build Number: N935LKLU3AQG6 Android version: Nougat (Android 7.0)Release date: 2017-08-04
ㆍ Improve the phenomenon that the tone of the song is reduced or silenced in a specific environment
ㆍ Correct the phenomenon that the photo position information is displayed when the camera is shot
ㆍ Intermittently break when touching the upper / lower touch
Build Number: N935KKKU3AQFEAndroid version: Nougat (Android 7.0)Release date: 2017-07-06
ㆍ Apply stabilization code related to camera operation
My bad for.not being specific. Yes I am on QG6. I went back to QFE hoping for a change. No difference.

Try *#2663#, which will update the TS firmware. Used this recently to correct a touch screen reversal (which was a weird experience at first).

Sorry. That's the code I used, not 2633. It didn't help at all.
Have you installed any apps that control screen brightness, remove the brightness slider from quick settings? If yes, uninstall and see if that fixes the issue.
Very late to the party but I'm having the same issue. Tried everything and no luck. The left side of screen not responding unless I use the pen. Stock OS no extra apps installed. Gutted.
I also have this problem..after one month use..right side screen doesnt respon..
Im runing on ARA1 firmware
hi pro, did you fix it, i have same issue
I had the right edge screen problem too. You can use *#0*# to test. Select touch to start the test.
Press 'volume up' button once done.
My problem on the right side and only not responsive to touch only. S pen works fine though.
I went to samsung and they said they had replaced the screen. And it works ! So guys, maybe it's really a hardware problem with the display screen.
Now after 2 month, the problem had resurfaced
I really like this phone and my note 4 previously was great and not having any hard problem.
I'm going to send this again to samsung for repair since it's still under warranty. Hope the problem will diasppear and not repeating again once we warranty expires.
Hello, i am having the same problem. It started about a week ago when the left side of my phone became unresponsive to touch. I have to long press the left side of the screen to register my touch. I tried the "Touch" test at *#0*# and the left side cant be touched. Now the lower and right side of the screen became unresponsive too. Anyone knows how to fix? Using Android 8.0.0 on this Samsung Galaxy note FE
exactly happen to me too...
went to samsung center and replace the screen, under warranty
Same Here
Hi
the same issue started happening to my Note FE yesterday.
have you found a way to fix it? or have you returned the product?
BAD NEWS everyone
Hey y'all,
So I have bad news for you.
The problem is hardware not software. I ended up giving my dad the phone when he went on a business trip to Hong Kong. He's got a guy there that owes me a favor or two so he got the screen replaced. That fixed it immediately.
Sorry for not updating you guys. I ended up just picking up a brand new Note8 back in Nov when I had enough of the touchscreen thing. When my dad finally brought me the FE back with the new screen it worked perfectly.
No software changes at all. Just replaced the screen.
Hi !I am having the same problem here with the right side of the screen.
First it started when the right side started to be less sensitive but then after a while it suddenly stopped working for the touch. The S Pen works ok.
Its really terrible to use it like this. At least if there was an option to squeeze the screen. Where did you guys bought the phone? I am in Europe but i think the company imported it from Saudi Arabia. Dont know if its a regional issue but i am courious. I tried clearing the cache and updating the touch but no difference. Haven`t tried factory reset yet....

hi what is your update about your screen problem ? and for how long did you use your note fe before this problem appeared? maybe you dropped it or something?
Hi. I'm having the same issue. I'm in Saudi so maybe it's a region thing?
Right side not working with touch but only for the s-pen. Also now the s-pen or finger has wrong touches in the screen.

I have been using it for about 3 months before it first started to lose its sensitivity and then to not function at all on a 1 cm wide area on the right side. I havent dropped it for this to be an issue and since i already seen other people complaining its definately a manufacturing issue. I have sent it to the service and hope to have an answer and i will update here about it.

Hello, do you know if your phone was imported from Saudi Arabia? It might be a problem with the phones for this market.
Thanks all for your reply. Really its very scary, just brought a new one from Saudi Arabia, where made in Vietnam. Sometimes I feel some lag with back button . But I dont think its common defect, I heard about same problem in Note 8. Those screen curves brought troubles to all of us ,
I installed tempered glass screen protector but it didn't cover the whole screen , anyway I preferred it rather than the normal elastic one.
Exactly the same issue on my FE
Nope. It happened to me as well just this morning. It is exactly as you've described. I did a factory reset but the issue still persists.
