Had my vega for just 3 days, i left it on charge on the first night and when i tried to use it the morning after the touch screen was more or less completely dead, only a 1" stripdown the left side in landscape mode was responding to touch so i couldn't even unlock it without using the wake then press the back button method - even then the screen was non responsive.
I did a reboot hoping this would solve it but no change, anyway after leaving it off for half an hour and rebooting the screen started to work again and I had no further issues that day.
that night i let it go to sleep again and had the same issue again this morning, the screen was non responsive after a prolonged( 6hour ) sleep
this time i decided to see if it was software so put it into nvboot mode and flashed the modaco rom, - after getting the new rom up and running the screen was still lazy, serious dead spots in terms of touch, i let it go to sleep for a few hours in the afternoon and tonight the touch is not working again.
I bought it online from dixons, and tbh the box appeared to have already been opened when i got it.
I'm starting to think its a faulty unit with a serious hardware fault - has anyone else experienced the same - did you find a fix?
Have you tried running the screen calibration tool, i think it is included in the modaco rom. I have not had anything as serious as you seem to have (only a slight dead spot in the bottom left corner of the screen, which the tool fixed) might be worth a go, if you have not tried it, before getting a exchange.
thanks Ganjaman, cant get the darn thing past the accept terms and conditions screen after a fresh install of stock rom because i cant press the accept button because its in a non responsive part of the touch screen.
dont think i have any option but to return it

Bad luck! Hope you can get a exchange in-store.
Have flashed the new 1.09 rom and it seems to have fixed the screen issue.
What was interesting. Was that if I warmed the tablet up slightly near a heater the screen would slowly start working again. Ganjaman, will your 1.08 update add market to 1.09
I am going to remake it for v1.09 shortly, i need to remove flash change the build.prop and i am going to add usb switcher. Glad you sorted it.

I had that problem before but i couldnt fix it my self... the best solution is to send it to the warranty and if they detect the problem they will provide you a new u8800, at leats thats what they did with me. maybe it's a problem with the screen itself

I'm sorry to tell you this, but it sounds like a part of your phone's touch-screen digitizer is broken. This happened to me four weeks ago, and I just got my phone back from warranty repair today. If you are not within warranty anymore, it is possible for you to order the part from Ebay, for example.
Of course, you should try restoring your device, before you rush to buy new parts, to make sure it is a hardware issue.
Additional information:
Unfortunately, I am unable to post links, but you can find the part on Ebay by searching "U8800 Touch Screen Digitizer".

You could analyze what is happening on the screen by going to System settings > Developer options > Check "Pointer location", and possibly "Show touches".
Of course, this is on Aurora ICS and I do not know what ROM you are using at the moment.
If you are using some other ROM which does not have "developer options", you can go to the Play Store and download an application called "Screen Touch Test".
it's digitizer for sure
My brother and a friend had this problem. Its certianly digitizer and it must be replaced. In turkey warranty covered it.

So I've finally gotten my tablet to work on stock firmware (2.2 i believe)
The touchscreen has flipped somehow. In order to unlock the device, I have to swipe down to unlock and up to silence. Once I unlock, I have to swipe from the right side to the left to get the top menu to drag down. Then I can kind of figure out where to touch to hit each button.
Anyway, this is terribly annoying. It's as if my digitizer is flipped. Anyone had this issue?

It's may be a sensor problem, try to deactivate the auto-rotation and reboot your device.

Edit: Found the download, file is corrupted.
I also made a mistake, I'm already running on 2.3.5. I will try the download again and see if I can rerun it all with heimdall.
I just tried like 3 different stock roms
Honestly I'm about to give up. If I use any ROM except stock it won't boot up whatsoever (tried cubed 3 or whatever too).
Ive tried to load CM10 but my tab won't see the SD card with the zip file on it even if I follow the instructions to a T
I'm done with it for a little while. Thing is useless. Digitzer is flipped for NO reason. To make matters worse, it can't even find WiFi signal, so it's useless anyway.
don't know about CM10 for CDMA, but for GSM, there is one version of CWM where the external SD and internal SD are swapped around at recovery.
But it is easy to spot which is which if you know your own storages.
I have CDMA so none of those fixes for GSM will work since apparently the hardware inside has slight differences
hello people, I lve had my nexus 4 for a while now, never experienced any problems with it on 4.3 neither with 4.4.2, just the overheath thing when browsing websites and such, but recently ive been getting this unresponsive touch in the middle that's not letting me send messages or organize the apps on my main page, I'll explain a little below.
When I slide my finger from top to bottom, just in the middle of the screen my touch seem to go slower and then it like makes a jump and won't recognize the touch in one part, that happens all along the middle of the screen is not just a blind spot, when I write a message and try to send it with the keyboard open, it won't let me touch the "send" bottom I have to minimize the keyboard to be able to send it because the bottom is just in the area where my touchscreen is not working correctly.
I downloaded multi touch tester to verify my touches and I found out that if I make a touch in the middle where I have my issue, the multi touch is recognizing 2 touches at the same time, I'll upload the picture to show how is it recognizing my touches in that specific area.
I'm actually using stock nexus 4 with stock KitKat 4.4.2, I haven't root or anything ever, is the first time I have issues with this phone in the touchscreen, I've also been experiencing some touchscreen freeze where I can't touch anything because it won't work and I have to lock screen and unlock it again for it to start working again.
what I have already done?
I have restart my.phone a couple of time and won't work
i have factory reset it and won't work
I have full charge it with USB and laptop and won't work
and that's about it, I'm sure is a software issues because my phone hasn't drop or anything it just started random and sometimes the phone start to work correctly with no issues but most of the time its not working properly and is frustrating.
PD: sorry for my bad English, not native speaker.
well is not letting me post pictures cus I'm new.

I am facing the same problem. You got any fix for this? Please help....
If you've already did a factory reset I doubt it's a software issue. However you can use one of the guides here explaining how to flash a clean stock factory image. This is the last solution that will eliminate any software sided failure.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
I am also facing the exact same problem for the past two days, My phone is in perfect condition, not dropped or anything like that.
I think I did some google play updates which where pending for long time.... Do not know what is causing this.
Anyway have started to uninstall the app updates manually, lets see.
A flashing will rule out all software issues. Check whether the touchscreen is working. Enable developer options, then select "Show pointer touches" and the other one just below it (too lazy to check up and tell you what it is; pardon me )
If you're getting normal touch response over the entire screen, then you're facing a software issue. Anything else implies a hardware issue; this may or may not fix itself (somehow; gremlins.)
In either case, let us know what happens. Cheers!

I'm having the exact same issue & tried what you just said. Unfortunately, I'm not getting touch response in one center row of the screen, for that entire row, no resppnse at all.
Is this the problem with touch screen?

Say goodbye to that display. I have to get my display replaced too (clumsy fingers grumblegrumble) and the LG guys say the display unit costs 3750 rupees to replace... Get it done ASAP.
Greetings!
If it is a software issue try re-flashing the stock factory image might as well work

phone was working fine but from last two week the screen starts moving automatically, Wi-Fi turns on automatically at any time. the install button of Google play doesn't work (seems like touch issue) but when i touch the same spot with camera application, it works fine. i am on stock ROM (4.4.2, kernel 3.4.0, KOT49l ) and tried resetting the phone multiple times but facing the same issue.
please help me resolving this issue.
regards.

You are just scaring ppl .. You said that my phone has probblem too .. So just dont scare ppl .. and try to help them..
i had this kind of issue with my other phone, I just downgraded to Jelly Bean and it worked fine ... and did the touch drivers update from the hidden menu 3845*#802# ...
i think you have a dead section along the top of your screen, about half an inch down. Its been fairly common. Its not real noticeable at first , bc that area of the screen isnt used often, but its EXACTLY where the play store install button is, and your knock on will no longer work. you need a new screen. or flip it to landscape whenever (seldomly) you need that area of screen. you can test it by getting LCD tester from the playstore , or by using quickmemo to draw on your screen.

This happened to me exactly, about a month back. It seems to be right across where the 2nd from the top messages are. You can download YAMTT https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt&hl=en
I use the PAINT option and move my fingers around the top. It was a solid strip out near the top. Knock On will no longer work, but Knockoff will.

that could be because the camera button has more "active area" meaning, it will still work if you tap near but not exactly in the same location. the install button on the play store is very very precise. if your knock on does work, then its probably just software. but if your knock on does not work, i recommend testing the hardware with quick memo.... draw lines all the way up and down your screen slowly, and see if there is a break in that area. if its not the screen, unroot, and go all the way back to stock
i don't know how but it has started working automatically form last 10 minutes and google play button is now accessible.
i hope it wont give that error again.
thanks for all good suggestions.

In developer options. Tick Show Touches option. you touch any area on touch screen and check dead zone or using Quick memo
