Nexus 4 Random touches on its own - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All,
I have nexus 4.. I was on stock rom 4.4.2 and suddenly three days back my phone started to be weird.. I see randomn touches on my phone. ( i have enable option show touches in devloper options..)
I was using art runtime..
So when i press the power button and lock the phone twice then i unlock it runs normally..
But these started to occur very frequently..
When it happens it freezes my phone or you can say touchscreen doesnt work sometimes it just freezes..
So i decided to Factory rest my phone i thought it was some apps having bug..
But it was still happening..
So I finally installed Cm11 with the installer.. I still have the issue...
Any Solutions?
It first showed when i was charging my phone but later it happened when i was not even charging ..

This has happened to me before. Call Google to begin an RMA and replace your phone if you're still under warranty

Sense Keeps Crashing

im wondering if its just me..
most times, when the phone comes out of sleep, after i slide to unlock, it just hangs. i dont even get to see the clock, sometimes, it just shows a black screen, and sometimes, all i see is the lock screen..stuck.
i can push the start button, and it would work as normal, but i cant go home.. and everything else related to sense...music, settings, message, ..just crashes.
i always have to reboot phone to get it back to normal.
could there be something making it crash? ..and does it happen to anyone else?
yes it happens to me from time to time. sometime HD2 just lies on my desk and 'fall asleep'... cannot turn on the screen though all the buttons light up.
when this happens i have to call from my HD to turn HD2 on and when it's on, it's unstable, and i have to reboot it.
same problem
I have exactly the same problem. it just crashes for no reason. sometimes when WiFi is on. sometimes after I synchronize. sometimes if only plugged out of the charger.
it was in version 1.48 and kept happening even after I upgraded to 1.66
I hope this has a fix or something or atleast a way to restart sense because the Windows button works, phone works, except the volume, the turn off and the settings in the start menu..
help!
thank you in advance.
Same problem here. Freezes at the lock screen and the lights appear from the buttons. Occurring with worrying frequency now. Twice in the last three days. Any ideas?
folks, do report your issues here .. i have a feeling that this is a known hardware issue by HTC and they are just keeping veru quiet about this.

[Q] Screen loses sensitivity

Hi there. I'm running CM6•1. Finally made the decision to do it recently. Everything has been working fine save for a couple of issues. This thread was to highlight the screen. At times, certain areas of my screen will fail to register any touches. is this a common occurence? The problem goes away after rebooting.

I've been running cm6 for a few months now and haven't noticed anything.
Sent from my cm6.1 Aria using XDA App
i've been observing when it happens but i still can't put a finger on what exactly triggers it. the thing is, part of the screen still registers. usually the top half of the screen just stops responding whereas the bottom one still works.
am i the only one who is experiencing this?
YES! this had been happening to me too! I did a clean install of 6.1.1 and it hasn't happened again :/
This may sound dumb, but especially since its been getting cold here in NY I've noticed this. It usually happens when my fingers are pretty cold. So maybe it has to do with the say the touchscreen works with cold skin? When I'm warm it never seems to happen. Just what I've noticed.
I totally agree with this .. I m having same issue .. the screen gets non responsive mostly when my fingers r cold or the cell stays in cold atmosphere ..and I hv tried several things but nothing works .. it becomes usable sometimes after 5 min n sometimes it doesn't work for even 12 hrs .. I don't understand that why it behaves like this in cold .. I even tried changing roms but no use ..
If you bought your phone from AT&T, it should still be under warranty since it's been out for less than a year. Call them up and get a replacement.

Screen Bug

Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with my A4g.
Basically, once in a while, the screen starts to press on its own. Usually towards the middle of the screen, so if i go to text message, keys such as "F" and "S" get rapidly hit on their own! Turning off and on the screen helps fix it, but sometimes i need to restart the phone altogether.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm on Gingerbread with Unlocked bootloader and rooted but this problem has been around since i got the phone.
we'll need to know a little bit of information on your phone.
are you running stock software? (for instance, i'm using Ninja Speed Freak 0.4.5 and Faux's custom OC kernel)
have you dropped your phone recently?
has your phone gotten any contact with water recently?
do you have any suspicious third party apps installed?

OMG! its like a spirited game!!!
Sometime it happens to me, the screen to become unresponsive..
And i turn of the screen and on and its gone.
The thing happened at you it happens only with raindrops.
And rarely FP sensor dont work, so i reboot..
Are you stock? Or on a custom rom probably ?
As i wrote in OP, i'm running on the AT&T Unlocked bootloader 2.3.4 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182526
This problem isn't due to the rom, it happened to me before the update too.
Ive only dropped this phone once since May and it was on carpet.
have you tried doing a factory reset? quick google search brought this up for me, but i'm not having the problem so i can't test it out myself for ya =\

That was the first method i tried 3-4 months ago with no luck.
I can't do that anymore because of the unlocked bootloader

[Q] Touchscreen registering touches automatically !!

Hi
I have a nexus 7 2012 running on Android 4.4.3 . My issue is that touches are automatically getting registered without me pressing the display . It mainly happens in the back button area , so its very irritating . I tried soft reset , full factory reset , software update and touch calibration with an app available in xda . But it still reoccurs .
Can some one suggest any other methods ?

This could be a hardware problem. Phantom touches should NOT be happening out of the blue.
It happens to me too on my grouper Nexus 7 2012, mainly in the center-right of the screen. I activated the option to see the input and I can clearly see it.
I know the most obvious cause of this is hardware issue but the strange thing is that mine does it only after a certain time without a reboot. As soon as I reboot it stops for a while. So I guess it's not 100% hardware or caused by overheating. And if I just put it aside instead of rebboting it the minute I wake it from sleep the problem is still there, only a reboot can help. And it doesn't do it on the recovery.
The other thing I should mention is that I have issue with the headphones on the tablet and I have to "twist" lightly near the connector to make the sound play on both channels. This is a known hardware issue. I had the touchscreen problem before that so the "twisting" is not the cause of it (and again since a reboot makes the problem go away I guess that's not it)
I tried many roms with the same problem and it happens only since I have f2fs (must be a coincidence) and I am now on 4.4.4 saberdroid and I have the same issue.
Is there a possibility that it could be anything else beside hardware???.... I will try 100% stock soon but I wanted to find if anyone had ideas about this...
Thanks! (if it doesn't work I might have to buy a Shield tablet, poor me!)

Nexus 4 screen freezes randomly, no reaction when touching.

Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!
The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me
Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
