I'm coming from CM 10.1 and I recently flashed to the 4.4.4-20140706 Nightly for the Oppo find 5 and I noticed there was a jerkiness in the middle of the screen and being unresponsive. You can see it here (I can't post links yet but it's in the very middle and even an icon couldn't fit in it.). In between the spotify and drive icon. The space between them doesn't work. So I thought it was my screen doing it but the problem is there is no damage to my phone so I flashed back to CM 10.1 and it worked perfectly.
Another issue is when I tap the screen sometimes it turns it on which randomly turns it on in my pocket. is this a setting that I can turn off?
I don't know about the unresponsive part of the screen, but about waking your device: it's probably "double tab to wake" in settings -> advanced.

Thanks a bunch I'm just hoping a nightly update fixes the screen issue. I haven't gotten a single reply anywhere about it.
I don't think this is fixable with a nightly. I have a find 5 as well and no problems whatsoever. It would be strange if it occurred only with some phones. Well it might be due to different variants but I highly doubt it since the different models are essentially the same as far as I know (correct if I'm wrong). This seems pretty strange..

Just got my SGS2 and encountered a really odd problem.
When using the phone while lying down on your bed aka checking email in bed, the back key registers 2 key presses.
To reproduce it every time, just slide your finger slowly onto the back arrow from the bottom left.
This only happens while lying down and is actually pretty annoying because it makes navigating pages hard.
Anyone else have this issue?

Actually, it happens both normally and upside down. Maybe time to get a replacement, can't be firmware right?

A couple of old threads reported that the back button is not sensitive enough and sometimes would require 2 taps for it to register the command, must be something related?
When looking into buying an s2, I was considering buying a damaged one where the touch buttons wouldn't work. Upon researching so I could find a fix and buy it cheap, it turned out to likely be a hardware issue and on a side note, most of the people that had reported similar or same issues also mentioned using a third party charger/non samsung one.
Basically the kist of the signs of problems - charger thing, erratic touch screen behavior while using the charger, intermittent issues with the soft keys not working, and eventually failure of the soft keys.
But every post I saw resulted in a successful warantee claim. Hopefully the same can be said for you if worst comes to worst
Thanks for the replies,
The phone is less than a week old so I might just have it replaced.
The double tap issue only happens when lightly/slowly pressing "back". But that is very often since the touch screen is so sensitive.. I feel like this all started after upgrading from kg7 to ki2 using kies. Oh well..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Quick question for the community: Would rolling back to KG7 from KI2 using Odin void my warranty? I want to see if the problem was still there, because the phone came with KG7 installed 10 days ago.
I noticed how the touch screen immediately got much more sensitive (too sensitive for my taste) after upgrading to KI2 in Kies. It seems like it starts registering a press when a finger is just barely hovering over the glass which makes it hard to control and the capacitive keys super jittery.
Now, both the "menu" and "back" buttons registers multiple key presses if not pressing them super firmly and quickly.
I hate this stuff... I have never once bought a phone without running into stupid problems like this.
If you only tried to flash official firmware your binary counter won't increase so you can just return to stock firmware.. Check your binary counter in download mode, if it increased even by one use a jig to reset it to zero (with old bootloader ofcourse)..

I do have this issue too, but i'll just tap it very fast to avoid the double tap. Using stock from KF1 still.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I just figured it out. The double tap only happens when the lights are off for the keys. I switched to 6 s/always on and I can't get it to double tap by itself anymore. Worth trying for others with similar problem!

Hi, wondering if others had similar problems or fixes.
After a while of use, the touchscreen becomes unprecise and quite unresponsive. For example, it becomes difficult to input strokes or use the keyboard. This problem disappears when I immediately sleep and reawake the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

I have been having the same issue. I really don't want to send it back.
Here is the other thread where this is being discussed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792722&highlight=touchscreen
I have the issue sometimes too. Nothing to write home about. I just turn off the screen and turn it right back on and it seems to work. For the money and performance this thing is my new love. I haven't turned on my laptop in 3 days.

I have three users configured and at times the tablet seems to lock up. But I can still pull down the notification drawer and setting drawer. I can touch the back, home, or multitask softkeys, or slide up for Google now.
But no matter where I navigate to, the N7 does not register touches in the "screen" area.
I have found that pulling down the setting drawer and tapping the user to "logout" and then logging back in immediately fixes the issue. Also toggling sleep/wake button and logging back in also fixes it.
Is this a known issue? Is this multiuser, software or hardware specific? Any solutions?
(I read back through a couple weeks of posts but didn't see this issue)
--- UPDATE------
Just happened again. But I left it alone for a minute, picked it back up and it was working fine. Perhaps this is app lag. The notification and navi bar work because they're systems but the screen stops taking input while it lags....(just a thought, I don't know how that stuff might work)
BTW I have a 32 GB N7, it is not rooted, and is fully up to date running 4.2.1

Damn. Well maybe get a log cat next time it happens. Maybe there will be something there to show why it stopped working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'll have to learn how to get a logcat. But I was able to recreate the issue and get a video. I could only get it to affect settings and the play store but I've had this in the launcher before too. I don't think you can hear but tapping the screen was causing the touch sound.

No one has had this issue? I've only experienced it in Settings and PlayStore on me first and second user, nothing on my third user. Also noticed a litte lag on the homescreen too.
In the video you may be able to hear the touch feedback sound. The screen is recognizing taps but not doing anything. Sleep/Wake fixes the issue until you leave the app...
Guess I'll need to exchange my N7 and hope to get one without this issue.
Why did this get moved to Q&A??
Are Issues not discussed in General?
[SOLVED]
I was using APP LOCK on User #3 and that caused what seems like an overlay that prevented touch on users 1&2.
I sent this issue to the apps support. And will try to find a free app locker that is milti-user friendly.

This has been happening since I remember getting the device. About 3/5 times when I bring my device out of standby and I go to enter my pattern the touch is off. I have "show touches" enabled in developer options to verify this.
When I put my finger on the top left dot of the 3X3 pattern, which is around the middle-left of the screen, it is detecting that I'm touching the device all the way in the top left corner. If I drag my finger around the screen, the touch is offset. If I remove my finger from the screen and place it back on the screen, then it is properly detected.
I didn't run on stock for very long, maybe an hour or two, before I rooted and flashed AOKP. Right now I'm on WhiteHawkx's unnoficial AOKP nightly and Franco's Kernel (r122).
My plan is to flash back to stock and see if it still happens then. But currently I have a really busy week ahead and don't have time so looking for insight.
Anyone else experience something like this?
No one? So I guess I should call Google for a warranty exchange?

Let me know your results. If it persists, I might have to send mine back.
I'm on stock ROM. I have this issue too, when I power on and drag to unlock, I get a delayed mismatched response. I have to power off then back on again.
It started this recently, so might be app related.

Turn on " show touches" in developer options to help verify if you the save thing happening.
I don't have to reboot mine but I have to lift finger of screen and put back on to get it to properly detect where the touch should be.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
So just as a follow up I reverted to stock for 5 days and didn't see this issue. Flashed back to AOKP and Franco kernel and now it's happening randomly when I go to hang up a call. I tap on the red hang up bar and it detects the touch in the top left corner.
I called Google play support but since I didn't buy my device from them they directed me to lg.
I'm starting to think it's my screen protector.

lol, I had insensitivity issues on the bottom of the screen way back, I use a displayed pin pad on lockscreen so I just tap a certain spot to unlock, I sometimes wonder why the digitizer register incorrectly.
flashing a different kernel helped, I'm using motleys.
Have had this problem since launch, im on stock rooted, maybe its a certain app?
If anyone wants to compare their apps with me to find a similar problem, shoot me a pm
Randomly it seems, when I tap on the touchscreen on my new N7 2013, nothing happens, and I have to repeat the process several times before my touches are registered.
Does anyone else have this problem?

See my thread titled " Another touch issue, with reproducible steps".
Go into developer options and enable "Show touches" and "Pointer location"
If you see your touches registering but the app isn't responding, it is probably a problem with the app. If you see random stuff on the screen, probably a problem with the digitizer or digitizer in combination with the driver/software in this release.
Ive experienced this a few times and it seems to be a software /hardware interface issue with particular custom rom builds ive installed. I know the touchscreen hardware itself was fine when I forced reboot into recovery and the touchscreen worked as normal in custom recovery.

I wouldn't. If you had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus when it came out, you'll remember that it had the same issue with certain points on the screen (lower right hand corner) when using multi-touch applications. The entire screen would either stop seeing input or start going erratic and creating faulty inputs that weren't happening. It isn't a hardware issue, proven by some users experiencing it and some not. The only time I've experienced it is in the Netflix application while trying to choose a show to watch. I re-boot the application and viola, no more issue. Some in this thread even are stating that they only see the problem sometimes after getting the 4.3 update.
In short, it's software and not hardware.
Same issue when not touching with both hands somehow (like if the tablet is flat on a table).
