Hi guys
My nexus 4 touch screen stopped working (only the lower screen part). The whole navigation bar area is not responding to touch, remaining screen is working fine. Please help me solve the issue.
Regards

It's hardware not software

Try a different ROM. Let's when what happen then.
Bad luck! The navigation buttons at the bottom of twrp doesn't work too )':
I don't understand how this happened. There was no damage to the phone. It was completely safe.
Then try to install stock ROM.

Or. Use cwm recovery .navigate using physical button. And try another custom ROM.
It happend once in my s2 skyrocket. Switching it to another ROM helped.

You can try several software things but I am 100% sure its hardware.
Your digitizer is broken and for N4 it comes with your screen. You have to replace whole things.
Offical LG comes at around 100 USD
Guys, good news! The area which was not responding to the touch started working on its own, when I took phone out of my pocket this evening!!
I'm really happy now, thanks guys for replying and giving your suggestions.
I just hope this problem doesn't return

If you searched the net,you saw it's a widespread problem. I guess poor quality and lack of knowledge on Lg part(2,5 yrs ago. I hope they learned by now.

Yea, you seem to be right. Because I kept my n4 with too much care for 2 years if I take out the bumper and screen protectors, it looks exactly like new. It definitely is lg's mistake!
I guess I'll better start getting used to pie controls now ):
Dear folks, I do face the same issue. No cracked screen but some areas wont work. Is it possible to calibrate the screen via adb?
Can anyone help out with commands or scripts to maybe revive my n4?
Kind regards Soldiaz

How did you get it?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
the people that butcher these things can suck it imo.
imo we should have pulled the display just for S's&G's...
Is that huge piece of copper part of the flex circuit, or just a heat spreader under the battery?
Are you selling any parts? If that AMOLED/Digitizer is still apart (never been replaced/pulled apart) im willing to buy it.
I replaced mine, and the screen keeps getting dust under it. Once the digitizer is replaced, it's hard to keep dust from getting under it.
Both myself and crusher work for a used electronics reseller... its already on ebay... its broken though so you might be able to get it for cheap. The bids start @ $1
And no the diaplay/digitizer havent been separated.

Wow that was a powerful hack, what rom did you flash? Did you even do a nandroid backup before flashing? What recovery did you use?
I can PM you the eBay listing once it actually goes active. Don't really think there is anything usable from it. Whoever sent it in DESTROYED it.

Pretty much everything. Most of the ribbon connectors were messed up, all of the mounting screws and hardware were gone, wouldn't charge or power on, and it was just generally beat to hell.

Yes i am stupid, youre right but sti susessed @ porting latest cm 6 nightly with awesome fm radio.
Cynanogen is my favorite hacker ))
But anywayz what did you flash to get following result.
I've had my Nexus 4 16GB for almost a month with no problems.
I plugged in my phone and went to shower for 10 minutes.
When I came back, I turned on the screen, and now I have a constant dim flickering over my entire display!
I've restarted twice and the problem persists.
How can I determine if this is a software or hardware issue?
If it is a hardware issue, do I have to remove the root (done about a week or 2 ago) before I send it to Google for a replacement?
Likely software. Some other phones I've had have also had screen flicker. If you do RMA it and it turns on and boots you should probably unroot and relock the boot loader.

Try flashing another ROM and see what happens. (Make a android backup first). To send it back to Google you're going to need to revert back to stock.

Update for anyone who might get this problem randomly. I turned the phone of for a little while and then turned it back on and it was fine. I've since switched from stock to CM10.1, and it's still fine.

Strange, I've got the exact same issue right now... flickering is present in recovery/boot so I thought it maybe hardware failure.. will try CM10 instead of MCR once I've backed up! For reference:

That's not exactly what mine looked like, the flicker was more of a flashing of the entire screen. That very well could be a hardware issue, but don't take my word for it. I never flashed a ROM or wiped anything to fix the problem. I simply turned the phone off a few times for around 10 or 15 minutes each time, and I just didn't see any more flickering. Hope yours can be fixed this way too
Doesn't look like it, I left it off for about 6 hours, still pretty stuffed. This is definitely hardware... looks like my night just went from bad to worse. :/
Oh that sucks
Hopefully you can get a replacement quickly.
Good luck

Guys. See the attached pic. Bought Galaxy S4 octa 3 weeks before. Working fine. But suddenly today appeared a small red dot on screen. You can see it besided word wifi. It gets disappeared when screen gets off or if I turn off the mobile. But when screen is On it is clearly visible. What is it? Is it a hardware issue? Has anyone faced the same isdue on any phone. Currently downloading the latest firmware. Wish after updating firmware this issue get vanish. If not then I have to go to svc.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, it seems that your phone has a dead pixel which is a hardware issue... there are some apps that pretends to wake-up dead pixels but for me it never worked. The only solution was to send it to repair

Hi, looks like a stuck pixel on your screen. Use an app from play store that fixes stuck pixel and should fix it.
Something like this >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5odGMuY2hyaXMuYmxhY2tzcG90ZGV0ZWN0Il0.

A dead pixel is black. He has a stuck pixel. This can be fixed with some apps. In case doesn't fix , you can go from where you bought it and replace it, but first give a try to some apps that fix stuck pixels.
Thanks for reply Dean and Kimkim. I have installed that app and run it twice. First time for 10 mins and second time for 30 mins. But no luck. That stuck pixel is still there. Now have to go to service center only.
Btw what is the reason behind happening of this? Any idea?

I have managed to remove a stuck pixel on my S2 by simply rubbing the screen!
It sounds crazy but someone told me to try it and it worked, it never came back.
Just apply pressure to the screen where the stuck pixel is and keep rubbing, it should disappear.

I remember i did this on a old LCD monitor and it worked, but i really wouldn't suggest apply any pressure on s4 screen. They're lots of reports of broken amoled under the glass. So doesn't sound like a good idea. Better to have it replaced for free than to bring it back with broken screen and to be charged for that.
Ok. Thanks everyone. Will go to service center in a day or two to get it replaced.

If I have one, mine is not blinking.
It works on mine, no real need for it though.
Wonder if I need to turn it on....Blinking on front....not on back. I have it flipped on screen and nothing.
Make a call and see if it comes on. During the call it should slowly pulsate.

haven't tried lightflow because it never worked on my GS3/GS4, and i only used it on my nexus back when i bought it...mainly bc there was some bad battery drain issues apparently.
wonder if they'll update for the back led?

Thank you for your advice I'm going to try that and yes my phone is updated with the latest software. What is strange is that it doesn't lag on YouTube it's just seems to be there. But it makes me mad because it's a great site to stream new movies and it works fine on my mom's iphone. I am using Google Chrome when I go to try it. Thanks keep up with ttrying to help the new guy.
I'm using the stock browser and it worked fine on the movie I tried. Great quality, quick loading.

Flashlight app isn't lighting up the physical camera flash? See if it requires root access to do so, and consider rooting. Rooting = admin access on your phone basically, good to have if you don't care about warranty
