Ok so i bought a brand new Nexus S two days ago, the problem is in landscape mode the touchsreen randomly becomes unresponsive for a few seconds or until i change position or turn screen off and then on again or rotate the phone and back.
The wierd thing is it only happens in landscape mode when holding it so the buttons are to the right but if i flip the phone so that its still in landscape but the buttons are to the left it doesn't happen and works flawlessly.
I searched the net and found various touchscreen problems with nexus s, but didnt really find the exact problem. Can anyone tell if its a software issue or a hardware issue?
Also this Nexus S is with Super LCD and not AMOLED
Thanks

I had a similar problem. Happened to me a few times on different custom roms. However, my screen is Super AMOLED. I'm just scared it might be a hardware issue so I'm always ready to unroot my phone and get it back to stock so I can return it for repair.
Butt.... I think that it might be a sofware issue since the touchscreen is only unresponsive until you lock and unlock your device. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again for a while. Always gives me a scare :O

Is it running a custom ROM?
Hello to all.
I have this wierd problem. While I am on a call if I put the phone on my face it turns black. Then when I put it off and it lights up BUT then the HOME button and the right and left virtual buttons stop working ! I can only end the call.
If I do the same but without touching the proximity sensor everything works fine . The problem begins after the use of proximity sensor. Could this be softare or hardware? Anyone else with this problem? Any advice on this?
Doing a hard reset seems to fix the problem. Maybe it was a conflict with some app...thank you though.

Hello,
I purchased an Mi A1 on 20th last month from an offline shop, and on the second day of use the display went blank (Could see lights on buttons, could use the touch, but no display), I raised a complaint and got a replacement from the store after Mi surprisingly approved it.
Now again I faced the same issue on my replacement phone, and the display has gone black, there's nothing I can do.
Has anyone else faced this issue or is it just me, for the second time?
If anyone has faced this, do you have a workaround?

Nope,it's works fine .show the problem to offline dealer .may be they got entire defective units or they gave you same mobile again with proper covering .
Good luck
Sometimes a simple bug can look like a major problem. It can be just the auto- brightness lowering your brightness way below visible range. Next time if it happens, try flashing a bright light to your light sensor, or try restarting your mobile (holding power button for more than 10 sec will force restart your mobile).

Faced the same situation,I bought from big C and I faced touch issue on the same day I purchased but my replaced mobile is working fine
I faced this issue this morning, I think the ambient display was the caused of this since it is on for me, I received a notification then I'm expecting the ambient display to show but it didn't then when I try to unlocked it, the phone is black then I just restart it since I know the position of the restart in screen. I turned off the ambient display now, will update when I happen again.
Mi A1 screen blackout
For those of you suffering from screen black-out on the Mi A1 during incoming calls or messages, here's a solution to try: dial *#*#6484#*#* then select ALS/PS and recalibrate the light sensor and proximity sensor as per instructions .
Xiaomi seems to have shipped thousands of phones with incorrectly calibrated sensors for quite some time and done nothing about it - google search: call screen black site:en.miui.com

Yes it's a bug with ambient display. I've even deliberately tried to trigger the bug and it's a software problem. Should be fixed in an update.

Hope they will fixed it. I did not experience it again after turning it off. Cheers!
The problem was not fixed with the calibration. I had another black screen episode right after receiving a message
Bad Display
I faced the same issue. When I tried to open my phone with fingerprint then suddenly the screen goes black and nothing was working. There was light in the navigation buttons and nothing else. I purchased it from Flipkart and they denied the replacement. I don't know what to do now.

For now I have disabled ambient display. Try this
Happened once to me. Turning off ambient display indeed seems to work in preventing it from happening again.

I have face same issue as per your advice "holding power button for more than 10 sec will force restart your mobile" will help me, Thanks for your suggestion
i have same bug. i'm trying to resolve deactivating ambient display.
Bug is not solved with last release sw
Can we all report this through the Xiaomi feedback app? It seems everyone I know with the Mi A1 has this bug too.
Hello everyone.
I've been using my Joying JY-UL1282N2 for a couple of years now, and I'm really happy with it. But last week the screen has been making problems. I feel that there's a contact issue which causes the screen to suddently turn off. Pressing on the bottom of the screen bezel causes the screen to work fine. The touchscreen works all the time, even when the screen is off.
Here's a video showing the problem:
https://youtu.be/7Le8yL6SvWA
I think it's a hardware issue. Is there a simple way to fix this? I really have no need to upgrade the unit, it's still running the stock ROM too.
Thanks for any help!
Recently i have installed pixel experience rom (PixelExperience_land-10.0-20200122-1928).
The capcitive buttons aren't working. The gesture control not working properly. I have tried many times change the settings to hardware key to gesture control but nothing working. Is it the problem with pixel rom or others too. Need help
My Redmi 3s too has problem with Capacitive buttons. Was using quick ball with Stock ROM. Flashed PixelExperience_Plus_land-10.0-20201122-1450-OFFICIAL build assuming that gesture navigation will help. But it looks like only back gesture is working. Home gesture and switch app gesture are not working. 2 & 3 Button navigation option is also not working.
Any other ROM's where gesture navigation is fine with redmi 3s ?
Same issue is seen in FLOS 18.1 too. So it does not look like it is specific to Pixel experience.
Check with a different ROM. When I had first encountered such issues I had put it down to the software. But later the touch issues kept getting worse and about 6 months later the touchscreen was completely dead. This seems to be a rather common issue in this device.
