Just confirmed this issue on my Omnia7.
This is retarded. Capacitive screens don't work that way.
not having any problem on my omnia 7...tried everything to try emulate some of the effects reported! not seeing any deterioration in sensitivity!
Not a pickle from my Omnia 7, Still as lush as ever and responsive as it should be, i've been mostly USING in on a pillow/soft surface when it's laying down next to me when i'm home and sitting here for hours on end.
Loving it even more when all these bugs/glitches come out and it's stomping them down.
I feel I should come back to this and apologise as I have found a pillow which messes up my phone's touch responsiveness too. Interesting.

What kind of pillow? This smells of static to me, seeing as capactive screens rely on the tiny electrical charges in your body. Polyester fabrics getsquite static, do they not?
It happens to me when I place it on my desk...
I noticed the same thing...but I didn't associate this with the soft surface, the touch screen doesn't work when it's plugged into the charger

It says that in the manual! Page 12:
The Manual said:
While the device is charging, the touch screen may
not function due to an unstable power supply. If
this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the
device.

Of course, that's assuming your power supply is dodgy...

I believe the manual is a load of BS. My iPad works fine when connected to my powerpoint. I've noticed that when the Omnia is charging via powerpoint its screen sensitivity does go down, BUT, when you hold the phone with your other hand, or even just touch part of the rear/side with one finger, the screen starts working flawlessly.... imo it could be some design flaw regarding conductivity
When I place my Omnia 7 on my car phone holder (from Capdase), the screen does not respond at times, and I can't seem to find any pattern why or how this happens. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Once I take it off the phone holder, the screen is working fine again.
I wrote it in the other thread... but I had this problem too and after I flashed the newest firmware it was gone. Now the screen responds perfect no matter where I place the phone.
You should check the thread with omnia firmware out
Another solution I found is that you would need to Hard reset your device not through the settings but turning off and than press/hold volume down + camera and power on. Than press the middle button twice and than you will not have anymore problems with touch screen.

o really?! I thought it was just magic and the magic couldn't work when the phone was placed on soft things! im so glad someone with intelligence could teach me about this capacitive thingy whoever he is!
you have completely cleared this up for me - i now see the error of my ways. must have been having hallucinations or something. sorry for this disruption everybody!
i hope the next version of our phone uses magic because that would be really cool!
on a side note to that, after updating my firmware yesterday this dosnt seem to happen anymore. stupid hallucinations!
Had this before, after the firmware Upgrade the Problem seems to be resolved but after some time ( 1 week or so ) it's back again.
Looks like there is a fix for the laying-flat-issue for the Focus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11077163#post11077163
Maybe it works for some issues with the Omnia 7 as well. Did anybody already try?
Yes, have the same. If I put it on my couch, or bed. Sometimes also on hard surfaces. Doesn't bother me too much though, but it is weird.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn here...but I was literally the first person (or one of them at least) on Microsoft answers, Youtube and forums alike to raise concern about this issue.
It's a conductivity problem. As long as one hand is touching the back of the phone (sometimes near the top or sides too) then the touch screen will operate normally.
The reason it stuffs up when you have it flat is because you're not touching the back of the device, hence the conductivity flaw.
Check all this, it's a problem with the Omnia 7's, deal with it or chose another handset. I ended up keeping mine, I can live with it.

Hi,
On my rooted nook touch, sometimes the touch screen stop working.
It appends whatever software i'm using and randomly. Buttons works, page refresh works too and the nook doesn't lag, it's just a touch screen crash...
I tryed to unregister the nook and to update it from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 then root it again but the problem still here.
Do you know a solution for this problem ? each time it's append I must hard reset the device (power + right bottom buttons)... is there a service to restart to enable touch screen again ?
Thanks
Hi, I'm new here ^^.
I bought the nook touch 2 months ago, and it worked perfectly until yesterday. I installed MSN Mercury from the market, I logged on my account, but when I clicked the menu button, the touch screen stopped working and I used adb reboot from my pc to restart it (I didn't know how to hard reset).
It scared me a lot, and I uninstalled that msn when I restarted the nook.
I request a solution for this too, and, do you know a simple MSN that works perfectly on our e-Ink nook?.
PD: Sorry for my bad english ^^u
Same as you.
Just screen is out of response.
Happened both 1.0.0 1.0.1.

Long thread about the subject.
From the thread and running into the issues myself, it seemed to be a sensor/dust issue as the only solution I found working is wiping the screen with a cloth or so. This is kind of sad since I already has a screen protector on it but I guess any bit of dust on the screen could cause the touch function to fail.

I do not have much faith in the dust theory, you'd need some serious dust, like sand, on your screen for the sensor array to even notice it
Remember, it's not a touch sensitive screen like those on phones and pads, but a rather coarse infrared grid "above" your screen.
I've experienced this once myself, and then I simply put the NST away for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working again which makes me suspect a lockup in the driver,
Had this happen to me. Here is the timeline
1. Girlfriend bought nook for birthday
2. Dropped said nook after 2 months or so
3. Bought refurb off ebay from B&N's ebay account
4. Screen would stop working randomly
5. Contacted support
6. They shipped me a refurb replacement
My second nook wasn't under the extended warranty or even a 30 day warranty. Its a manufacturing issue so they should replace it for free.
Ok, so I had this same problem, and took it to B&N, they said that they hadn't seen that before a gladly replaced it for me. To this day I'm still not sure what caused it, but I know it happened after leaving it in a pretty how car, but not sure if that's linked or not. My current one which I've had for about 5 months hasn't had any problems.
Old thread is Old but I'd gotten mine knocked out of my hands. Screen looks undamaged but the hardware buttons don't appear to do nything other than holding down the n switch to make the glowlight come up. Tried putting it to sleep, plugging it into a computer. Only thing that seems to indicate it isn't a total brick is the glow will come up. Other than that screen has a static of the last book I was reading in coolreader.
Bought the thing for an easter preasent to myself from walmart. Still have the box but it's rooted and til the drop had no problems whatsoever (well problems that weren't due to user error.) Saw a 'leave it overnight' suggestion and am going to ttry that.
Is there anything I can try or is this going to be one of those 'the outside looks fine but the slight bump wiggled something loose that you're going to need to tear the whole thing apart to fix.' things?
Edit: failing that could someone walk me through the button presses/times to press each button to un-root/restore backup using NookManager? I'd be doing that blind as the screen only shows an image from coolreader but I figure better to try taking it back to stock before returning even if nobody looks it over.
Hi All,
Solution for screen as simple as... get tissue, dump it with a bit of water (tap water will do) and clean your screen carefully. Solved Make sure that water gets into corners of screen. There is some kind of filter. It must have connection with top of the screen... some how water do the trick. I was designing custom cover/case for my nook when I discovered it. BTW your finger shod be a bit wet when you use your nook.
Hope it helps!
Thanks

The Nook doesn't have a capacitative or resistive touch screen, so having a wet finger is irrelevant. Instead, it uses an infra-red touch screen. Between the screen and the grey plastic bezel, you'll see a transparent lens protecting the IR emitters and receivers used to determine finger position. Reportedly, if that gets dirty, it fails to register finger positions.
About an hour before writing this, I moved a cable off my desk which was also under my Force, and off goes the force back first onto the floor. Seems perfectly fine, using it just like normal, but after doing some things in the play store I decided to lock the phone with the power button, I pressed it. Aaaaand nothing.
Volume keys worked fine, everything else worked fine..why not the power button? Who knows. I tried restarting through adb hoping that was the issue and not the drop, didn't fix anything. So...I had possibly the dumbest solution possible. Lets replicate the drop and see what happens. Power button starts to work, but barely, you have to really press it hard to get it to work. Thought lets do it again. Now it's back to not working at all.
At this point I'm scared of dropping my phone any more because I don't want to break the entire thing, but I'm starting to get hopeless. One of the drops I tried to replicate it, it landed face first and cracked my screen protector. So I'm like screw it.
I cover the back camera of the phone with like 4 sheets of tissue and put it inside a PLESON TPU case, to cover the camera, and I just outright drop the thing from like 5 feet high, back first. Now the power button works perfectly again (What the ****?) All that was lost was a good screen protector...?
TL;DR don't drop your phone back first, your power button might become misaligned with...god knows what.
Thanks for the tip... and... Congrats

That's the craziest thing I have ever heard.... Something doesn't act right after accidently dropping the phone, so let's drop the phone many times on purpose and drop it from 5 feet..... Really???
This does remind me of a computer I was repairing ages ago. I got frustrated with trying to get data off of a clicking hard drive so I threw it on the cement floor. Worked perfectly after that. I think the head assembly was stuck or something lol.

Happy new year everybody,
I have a screen issue. Sometimes half of the screen is static/white noise (see attachment (not my pic, but issue is same)).
It is a hardware issue.
I contacted ZTE and they are willing to replace it.
But i have custom ROM installed on it.
Do you think this will be an issue for them?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Yes it also has the static in recovery mode.
The issue is independent of the software, it is a hardware issue.
I successfully put my A2017G back to full stock yesterday by using TWRP to flash stock bootstack, stock bootloader and stock recovery.
I would recommend to try to find a 'back to stock' method that works for your specific model. I have no experience with ZTE RMA service, but ZTE does not officially support unlocking. For this reason it would not hurt to be safe and make sure the phone is full stock when you send it in.

I guess you were the one asking for the button placement on the TWRP thread?
There are two ways around this:
-If you have an A2017G: Flash raystef66's B09 flashable packages, then follow the guide on how to get rid of the bootloader unlocked message. You don't lock the bootloader but it also doesn't show that it is unlocked. Also, in Europe, OEMs can't refuse to fix a software-tampered phone's hardware problem unless they can prove that the issue was caused by the software. So if you are on B09, no 5 second screen, they will most probably not even notice, and if they do they can't do anything.
-If you have an A2017U: MiFlash then lock BL. Just put the phone in EDL mode and flash a full stock package (i think WesTD made a thread with back to stock files for all 3 models). Then try to access Fastboot; if you can't then maybe you can use raystef66's guide on how to get rid of the bl unlocked message, because it also restores fastboot, but we're unsure if it works on the U for the time being. Or get Fastboot some other way if there is. Then lock the BL and send the phone on its way.
I have a theme on TWRP so the layout is totally different. Would send you screenies if i didn't have it.

Hello, i had the same issue with my Axon.
Try to push with your thumbs in the upper right corner of your screen gently. The issue is because a loose screen connector. For me this Problem dont come back.

I had the exact same issue after I dropped my phone - press down with your thumb quite firmly about 1-2cm to the left of your lower volume button - may notice just the pressure actually temporarily fixes the display, but if you press a bit harder it will fix it permanently. (well at least untill the next time you drop it agan )

My phone had this issue yesterday evening....it kinda flickered in and out a couple of times. I didn't know what to do, then gave it some "percussive maintenance" and it seemed to be back to normal. Looking here....I see that exact same issue pop up. Know I know what to do to actually "fix" it if it happens again. Thanks a lot!

Hi, are your phone's screen flickered or just the LED ? Can you describe it more clear?

is it really a hardware problem? It happened to me when it provides the android version 8 beta. Also happens to me when i'm in recovery twrp 3.2.1
Had the same problem before, and a hard press along the edge 2 or 3cm from the botton right corner and there's a click and problem solved.
However, on this occasion I believe my 2 year old daughter washed my phone as it was wet, and even after 24 hours in a bag of rice it's still not working, so time to try out this VIP warranty!
This is a hardware issue. The connection for the screen can pop out just enough to cause this issue. There isn't any tape holding down the connector so it can pop off really easy if dropped the right way. I actually brought a phone with this issue for cheap. Took me an hour to fix it permanently and added tape to the connector so it doesn't happen again.

When I first opened it up I was thinking the same thing. I feel like as time goes on, these phones will show up on eBay with this issue. It's definitely a design or manufacturing flaw. A bit of tape would solve this issue but a metal plate would be ideal.

Thanks man! Dropped my phone 30 minutes ago and the same thing happened. I was devastated not because of the damage itself but because of the expected wrok and wait for parts. I hate fixing these new phones with glue everywhere. A nice thumb press and presto! Back to order. Thanks!
Re: thumb-press fix: Thanks! It worked!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your fixes! I had the same problem of half-screen and flickering on and off after dropping it, and yes, it is definitely a hardware problem which I fixed permanently by taking ollie196 and freeknz's advice. Just press firmly with your thumb near the right-center of the screen -- poke around until you hear a faint but audible "click". Worked for me (it's been about a week with no problems, so far). Just be careful not to drop your phone again!

Just found this thread. Same issue here after a hard drop. Pressing on the screen as stated above does seem to fix it. It's clearly a hardware issue so I suspect I'll crack open the phone soon and see if I can snuggle up the loose connector.

well, know that there's no going back. You'll lose the double sided tape and you'll also probably ruin the protective cloth that goes upon the speakers, plus you risk breaking stuff like the volume buttons or getting the frame dinged up. Since your phone works, i'd suggest you keep it like that until you want to change the battery or something else.

Hello guys !!
So I just discovered my screen doesn't work well anymore. Nothing is broken and my phone didn't fall or anything, but now when I scroll my screen it's split in the middle of the screen.
For example when I scroll down my screen the right part follow my finger, but the left part is a bit late. There is a time lag everytime. I can see this disconnection when I'm watching videos too and that's really annoying. Also sometimes my screen goes black for few seconds and comes back to normal.
I tried to turn off and on my phone but it didn't change anything, restart it either. I'm not really good with technology so that were the only manipulations I tried. I don't know why my screen is like that. The only thing I can think is that the day before my phone turned off by it self because there was no more battery.
Please can you tell me if something like this happens to you, and if yes what did you do to fix it ? Or if anyone has a solution for me, I would be really grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Did you install any weird apps lately?
Just do a factory reset, that'll probably fix it. You can back everything up from the settings anyways

Hey ! Thanks for your answer.
No I didn't install any apps at all lately. I did factory reset and it didn't fix the problem
But it's a bit better, it seems the screen doesn't go black anymore, but there is still the disconnection in the middle. Especially when I'm looking at videos or when I want to make picture.
I don't know what can be the problem
Try to squeeze the phone with your index finger and thumb, a half an inch besides the spot between the volume switch and power switch. There is an internal screen connector there that can get a bit loose

Thanks for your answer Waancho ! I tried your solution but it didn't work either. But now I think I might know why my screen is like that. One night I fell asleep listening music on my phone and when I woke up it was totally discharged. I could urn it off, I had to charge it a bit first. When I turned it on the screen was split and the left part of the screen was higher than the right part. I know it isn't good to let the battery discharged completely.... ?
Do you think the battery is damaged ? If yes, is there a way to fix it ?
Waancho Try to squeeze the phone with your index finger and thumb, a half an inch besides the spot between the volume switch and power switch. There is an internal screen connector there that can get a bit loose

This does seem to help somewhat for me, thanks Waancho!

Thanks for your answer Waancho ! I tried your solution but it didn't work either. But now I think I might know why my screen is like that. One night I fell asleep listening music on my phone and when I woke up it was totally discharged. I could urn it off, I had to charge it a bit first.

the battery has nothing to do with it. the display connector gets loose and does this all the time. Fortunately it never happened to me but i've seen more than 10 people with this problem
here's a couple pics for ya, the best solution is to take it apart and secure it but if you never did it then just push upon the screen, where my finger is pointing, about half or 1 cm from the side
