[Q] Screen is unresponsive? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My screen cracked about 3 months ago,but my screen still worked fine. But now, it is completely unresponsive. Sometimes, if I go into recovery mode, it'll be responsive. Then when I reboot it, it'll respond for a few minutes before it stops responding again. Also, sometimes it works when I just press the power button, then turn it back on. Just last night, there was ghost touches too... They've stopped but now it's just unresponsive. Any ideas? Thanks!

Get a new phone or replace the screen. My screen is cracked, too. I'm just waiting for a new phone to come out.

Slow from turn on issues?

Hi Guys
So I've had a wizard for nearly a year now. No issues. Works fine.
Over the last few weeks, every time I turn the device on, it is unresponsive for the next 30 seconds or so. Basically, it turns on, screen lights up on the screen where I turned the device off. If the screen was an email or something like that I can still use the scroller on the right, but cannot navigate away from that screen until 30s later. None of the keys work during this semi-hung mode.
Weird hey.
Any ideas how to resolve would be much appreciated?
Thanks

Screen Turning on delay !!!!

Rom: Olyfr sbf upgraded to 4.1.5.7 from 4.1.2.6 via OTA
Not rooted
I have not yet modified the power button.
'Cause I set up the fingerprint unlock,Im used to swiping my finger after press the power button.
after pending or standing by a while(maybe),It vibrates once after my unlocking through scanning fingerprint.But!!!! The screen is still black!!!
Meanwhile,touching the four buttons on the bottom,it still vibrates!
And waiting for seconds,Screen on~~~~~
Symptoms sound a lot like my Bell Vibrant before it died after the Froyo upgrade.
Have you tried resetting your phone yet?...
Okay,I have flash it to 4.157sbf,and temporarily nothing goes wrong
I have the same symptoms. Sometimes when I push the power button it takes 3-5 seconds or more for the screen to light up. I did a power off and on and it works better. Not sure what is causing this but it is annoying.
I've had this on.both my atrixes and it seems to.resolve itself as the phone gets older

I have had the same issue on mine. It occurs intermittently. Not always, but sometimes. And when the screen is turned off, I push the power button and nothing happens for about 3-5 seconds. Sometimes longer.
I do also have the fingerprint security feature on, though I am not sure if that that has something to do with it. However there is another problem with the fingerprint security.
Sometimes I want to check the time so I just turn on my screen and quickly turn it back off. But the screen turns right back on cuz it recognized my click as a fingerprint. However since it is too short to be recognized, it just turns my screen back on and says to try again. I try to turn the screen off again and the same thing. This also happens on occasions.
They need to make the power button better so that ways it does not recognize a screen turn off as a fingerprint swipe.
I have had similar problems. Rebooting has usually fixed them, at least for a while

Unresponsive screen from sleep

Anyone having an unresponsive (to touch) screen when the a500 wakes up?
I thought it was just me or the rom i had or some app doing it but a coworker just got his a500, hasnt installed anything really and is not rooted.
I can sometimes push the sleep/power button a few times and it will come to life but not always.
I think twice i have had to use the hard reset button.
Almost seems as if the screen is not responding to touch when you wake it up and it has to rotate the screen to the orientation you are holding it, but that is 100% speculation and i only say that because the l9ckscreen is unresponsive

Once in a while. Usually only when the device has been asleep for a long time. Not sure how to prevent this issue - i usually find hitting the power button a few times clears it up, but I have been forced to reboot from the issue once in a while.

[Q] Touch Screen Unresponsive

Today I started having a weird issue with my screen. When I open up some apps, the screen stops responding after 10 seconds or so for a few seconds, then works for a few seconds, then stops again, an endless loop. It starts working again for a longer while when I lock and unlock the phone
I think it starts in the middle of the screen, coz if I scroll down in an app, it staggers when my finger is in the middle of the screen.
.
I factory reset the phone and installed a different kernel but the problem persists.
I also noticed that the same thing happens in recovery, which worries me.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Do you have touch control?
If yes, it's a known issue.
It can also be the case of defective unit.

Touchscreen either stops responding or doesn't touch where I'm actually touching

So today I just started having this issue out of the blue. Sometimes the touchscreen and the capacitive buttons stop responding and most times when I touch a part of the screen it shows me as touching another part of it.
If I lock the phone then unlock with the power button, it'll be fine for a bit then happen again.
Is this issue known and is there a fix for it?
