Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks
If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.
Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.
Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps

Hi,
sometimes the touchscreen of my defy stops working (but the phone is not frozen)
and the only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the screen...
does anyone have the same problem (and can help me)?
thanks
P.S
i've had the problem both with stock rom (2.2) and with cyanogenmod rc 1.5
When this happens, do the 4 buttons below your display still give you haptic feedback (little vibration) or do they react not at all?
Also, does this only happen when there's the normal launcher/standby screen active or when there's an other app active too ?
Did you undervolt ?
Edit: Also, this seems to be a hardware problem which seems to be well known in a certain German android forum but I cannot find much about it in here. In short, the digitizer unit seems to be broken for some people and locking/unlocking helps because it disconnects and connects power for the digitizer. The people there fixed the problem by replacing the digitizer (which isn't easy at all!).
It would be nice to have someone from XDA who had this problem before too, to confirm this problem!
First of all, thank you for the answer
When I have the problem, 4 buttons stop working too.
It usually happens after a period of stand-by, i don't undervolt or have some other application running than the launcher (ADWlauncher).
I bought the phone one week ago, if it is an HW problem, i can't repair it by myself...
I'd recommend to wait and see whether xda has other suggestions for you and if not, just check the Motorola hotline and ask whether they know something and if they do change it for free.
Also, what you describe fits perfectly to what I've read elsewhere (don't know whether I'm allowed to post a link here or if it were useful at all because it is in German). So it sounds like your digitizer could really be defect.
ok, even if i hope to solve the problem by myself...
News: They've changed the touch screen, but the problem is still present...
Can it be a sw problem??
Keep sending it back, they will replace it in the end.

the whole phone?
Yes, the whole phone. They have two year warranties, but don't put up or make do, you should have a phone that works right

I use to get that problem on stock and some versions of CM.
Was definitely a software problem for me, havent had that problem since I'm on nightlies.

Hello,
Recently my phone get stuck a lot, when i am chatting via whatsapp for 5 min,
I am getting an the error messege that we all know ("[Force close] [Wait]"),
and the notifications bar disappear,
and then the only thing i can do is to lock and unlock him,
and if i want to do something, i have to reboot him.
i have tried lots of ROMs, and it's still kept happening.
so i think that thi is a hardware problem.
currently i know nothing about the phone hardware, there is anything that i can do alone, or buy new hardware and install it by my self ?
or i should send it for fix by professionals?
thanks
Anyone ?

Try flashing stock ftf then you'll know for sure if its a software issue brcause that should solve any software issues

It's probably cheaper, but if you mess it up, you're screwed.
Have you tried different kernels? Maybe start with Dommkernel for GB which is know to be very stable.
Still sounds like its more likely to be a software issue.
If not then i am not sure what you need to replace or if there are any replacement-parts for it.
I am currently using DooMKerneL and AuroraPlay.
yesterday, i have locked the phone, and i tried to power on the screen and the screen, was off for an hour and half, so i am pretty sure it's a hardware problem.
the issue is that i dont know what part of the hardware i need to replace.
my thoughts it may be the power button and the CPU or chipset,
are they easy to replace and where i can buy them or even better parts that will upgrade the perfomance of the phone ?
i have tried to flash the stock rom via fllashtool, and the problem with the screen kept happening.
can someone tell me what is the problem and how i can solve it ?
Thanks for trying helping me
I wouldn't waste your money on a power button, that's not the problem. Also, I don't really think you can upgrade the phone. It'd require other drivers & stuff. You can find parts here. Got the link in this thread.
There might be a guide here.
My sensors are good, this must be software related since it happened at the first boot of a new ROM.
Problem is, even if I flash stock firmware I have no luck making auto rotation and other motion features such as quick glance to work.
Anybody got an idea?
Anyone?

Are you Sure Your Sensors are Good.
Open The Phone & Apply Alcohol to the Sensor Connecting Strips ....
OR
Trying Using a Different Sensor Flex from Your Friends or someone else's Note 2 ...

It must be software related.. When i flashed the leaked 4.3 it was fixed, but after a week stopped again

What apps are you using to test the errors... If they aren't compatible with the leaked 4.3 then that might be the issue? Also kernal compatibility might be what's throwing it off

Well i try to rotate the screen for starter's.. Calibration don't even respond to movement as the ball stays in the center. Gyroscope demanding apps such as flight games dont work. Its not 4.3 as 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 don't fix it either
Same problem since 2 months
i too have the same problem...
i guess i can say that i'm not a noob... searched everything on the internet for this problem...
found no solution yet...
i too thought this was a kernel related problem ... tried many roms and kernels ... even i unrooted my phone and installed the stock ROM ... no help still..
i got the sensors working by accident sometimes ... but they again stopped working randomly...
i didn't open up my phone yet .. and didn't give it to the service center... thinking of doing that in some days
i guess the problem started when i dropped my phone and cracked the screen ... 4-5 months ago .. gave it to an unauthorized repair to replace the screen .. i guess he messed something up ..
but the problem started way after i replaced it ... started giving the problem since 2 months after the repairs...
any help before i spend more money to repairs/replace the sensors? .. \
attaching a screenshot from CPU-Z
So I am having this problem since 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 update. Once or twice a day the screen won't respond to touch. Should I use a custom kernal or this might be a hardware problems.

How do you fix it when it happens? Do you have to restart? Does the touch fail or does the tablet freeze?
Honestly not very sure what you could do, besides maybe trying a factory reset? That would work if a software problem.
What about cleaning it and removing any screen plastic guard.
U can say it freezes then I have to restart it. This is happening after two factory resets.

Same issue here, I think.
Just purchased a refurbished Nexus 7 (official factory refurbished) from Amazon. My touch screen works great for a day or so, but eventually touch stops working altogether and sometimes requires a hard-reboot (holding the power for 10-seconds). Downloaded a touch screen test app which works great (even with ten fingers on the screen), tracking well on all parts of the screen. It's just like the touch atrophies over time until it stops working.
First thing I did to the tablet after getting it was to unlock the bootloader and load stock/rooted 4.4.4. Is there some way to update the touchscreen firmware that I'm missing?
I don't want to open this thing up and muck with the hardware for fear of damaging it. I'm holding out hope that there is a software fix, because rebooting fixes it right up.

Oops - I looked at the link to the hardware fix, but not the firmware fix. Thanks, I'll give this a try first.
Firmware fix above seems to have alleviated the issue for me. At least I haven't seen the issue over the last several days, which is good news. Hopefully that holds up over the long term. :good:
Started using Cyanogenmod with my Z1 compact, with the original rom I had no trouble with the touchscreen but with CM there are now some problems.
Sometimes the screen is not reacting or the screen is doing stuff that I did not want to do. When typing messages a lot this whole issue is getting out of hand, because the screen is sometimes selecting randomly characters or just not reacting when I want to type.
Screen on and off helps sometimes. But that cannot be the solution :/ Any ideas how to get rid of this problem?
I have the same Problem. Im also on CM11 M12. Thought it might be a Hardware Problem but good to know, that im not alone with that. I did not experience this with stock Rom too. Would be interesting if this is a known Problem.

I dont think that could be a hardware problem, as you said on original rom everything is fine.

As I see the bug is there since 3 months: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5689
Nobody is working on this issue :crying: How can they ignore such a big bug?
Probably it would be smart if other people also would open a new ticket there about this issue with their .log so this stuff gets attention.
As for me the problems are the most common when humidity is rather high. So everytime after taking a shower it is impossible for me to use the phone without these annoying Touchscreen issues. Before i flashed cm i never had this problem, i used the phone in the rain without problems. So i think it may be, that the Touchscreen is just not calibrated correctly and it is a lot more sensitive towards external influences as i mentioned before.
Is there a good Rom, thats not based on cyanogenmod? I thought i would wait for good 5.0 Roms before flashing my phone again, but this really annoyes me.

I rarely have this problem on stock 4.4.4 rom. So it's not strictly an CM bug. I think it has something to do with the drivers or something regarding the touch software implementation.
