Update*
I think this problem is caused from the software! because the same dead column area on the left of the screen appear in the middle also! No I face huge difficulties to write anything using keyboard! I should rotate the screen many times to touch some characters!

It's a strange issue .
Did you try to reboot to recovery and see how the screen behaves there , if you have the red line/bar in recovery or if that is still unresponsive even there?
P.S : By recovery , i mean touch recoveries as stock recovery can may only show red bar , but you cannot check touch functionality.

Hello XDA-Dev,
My device's screen looks normal, but the highlighted area is not touchable, I colored it with red to highlight it only, but it looks normal.

Any solutions guys?

There's no functions in TWRP in this area on my screen to try the touch!

I've come across the similar problem. But just temporarily. After screen-locking the phone and unlock the phone, it turns back normal.

Reboot to TWRP recovery. Then wait for a while to let the screen go off. After that, touch the dead area of screen to see if the screen recognizes the touch and wakes up or not.

Ghorab , had this been a software issue , you would never have the same problem in recovery(you explained earlier that you are not able to wake the device touching the dead screen part in recovery).
Sorry to say , but it is certainly a hardware defect.

Bottom buttons stops working.

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx
do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it
try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik
I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.
Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.
Warrianty it's a faaaar away past
I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...
If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen
I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.
Where did You get this board? Ebay?
http://www.cellulardr.com/products.php?cat=156
I don't think they send to Poland, but thx anyway..
Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

Sorry, disregard post.
hi, i found out that i have the same problem too. the issue is that if you have screen filter on, this would happen, so for now, simply turn off screen filter before you install.
Thx its fixed for me now

Thx man.
I know this is a little old but it was my first result when googling the problem so wanted to say thanks and add that, in my case, I had the "Rounded Corners" app running and this caused the problem. I stopped that and was then able to hit install.
Thanks

No, it helped only for a while. It doesn't work now
first try taping on other tabs, and than install.
Or scroll to the end of permissions (looks like intentional buyer protection) than it should be available.

Go to settings, security then check the box that says allow install from other sources.

Hello, I have the same problem with not being able to push the INSTALL button. Sorry, could you point me to where screen filter is located--I cannot find it anywhere in Settings? Much appreciate!

Do you have any brightness afjuzting application? If yes then you will find screen filter in that application settings
Thanks doesn't hurt....
Bumping because I just had this same problem with a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 international from Telcel in Mexico running stock ROM.
I literally didn't even know of the existence of Screen Filter until now, so what worked was stopping every single app that was drawing overlays: Facebook inbox, GO Power Master, SuperSU and Battery Mix (it draws a discrete little bar at the top of the screen indicating your remaining battery). Now it works all fine.
The lesson here is that if you can't install .apk's, you have to disable EVERY SINGLE APP THAT DRAWS OVERLAYS, starting with the ones you currently have running, then the ones that could draw overlays: in my case, GO Power Master draws one when the phone heats or when battery runs low, SuperSU pops the kdesudo-like dialog, and Facebook inbox has pop-up Chat Heads.
I had to close out Halo.. That was the app that over layed

[ISSUE] Moto G7 Power - Display graphics error

Hi There,
I am new on the android scene and I have recently got my first Moto G7 Power and flashed Lineage OS onto it without GAPPS as I am not a fan of Google. Once the OS is installed on the device everything seems to work fine and I have had no issues with it. No today I didn't charge the device and the device died. When I power the device on everything is normal and then I lock the device display. When I go to check my next SMS message I find that the colours on the display are all messed up. It is kind of what I expect out of a computer when there is a graphics rendering error. I have some photos below;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I can get the display back to normal with a reboot of the device however after the first lock of the device the display does this again and I have not been able to get it back to normal
Any assistance is appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for your response.
I did follow all of the instructions in the documentation linked. I have not used the "Get Help" options as I didn't see those till today. I will also post this to these communities.
Additional information I attempted to take a screenshot of the issue though when the screenshot is sent to my computer the issue is not shown in the image.

I've been experimenting with the issue, and it possibly might be a conflict with the screen saver and the main display, as I think when the screen saver kicks in, it adjusts/shuts off the colors to the monochrome of sorts we see when it "bugs out". I tried shutting of the screen saver (Go to the options"Display-Advanced-Screen saver-When to start" and click "Never."), and it seems to be good for the moment. Not sure if this will hold as a temporary solution, as I have only been testing for a few minutes putting the phone to sleep and waking it several times, but I might be on to something...

This problem is happening with me too, it is when I plug the usb cable and block the phone, when it wake up the display are messed. Reset is normal again. Tried to turn off screen saver but it didnt help.
I'm experiencing this problem with other situations too. After more tests I saw in another site this workaround: Change your color profile [Display] -> [Advanced] -> [Colours] from 'Natural' to 'Saturated' and back. Colors will return to normal. (https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2832)
After doing that and what PhoneThe4th said I am not experiencing the problem.
Sorry, I didnt know how to delete this message and use only my upper message.
Sorry, but the above answer is only a temp fix.
Try this:
System - Buttons
( long-press all buttons, to see menu)
Back long press action-Kill foreground app
Home long press action-Kill foreground app
Recent long press action-Kill foreground app.
I did this yesterday (1/10/2022) .
Still working.

Question how to disable that mini wakeup screen on pixel6 pro when touching the phone having fingerprint unlock ?

there's the screen im talking about, when you even touch the phone that screen seems to happen for you not to even touch the screen to input the fingerprint.
i've walked the whole config and found nothing.
it's deffinitely NOT the raise to wake, it's somethign else, but i dont know if its even workaroundable otherthan disaling the FPR which i dont want to.
Did a quick search and found there is an ADB command to disable it. I haven't tried it, so I am not sure if it works or if there are any issues that come up after running it, but if you want to check it out here you go

I'm confused also. That just looks like the aod. What's the problem here?
You mean that you have AOD off, and when you touch the screen you want to go directly to homescreen instead of the AOD, right?
The behavior on mine is exactly this one, I would like to have the AOD instead...
That "quick pickup" BUG has been really annoying me. It started with the december update -- did not exist before then. Glad to see a solution for it.

the bug is from nov, or maybe from beginning.
Is this about the phone screen constantly waking up whenever you touch the phone, regardless of whether you have disabled things like Always On Display and all the gestures like "Lift to wake phone"? If so, there's a fix you can use through ADB. I found this solution on reddit, and it's worked perfectly for me. No downsides.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0
Found the solution from this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/qvg2nz/_/hkx0fiv
Perhaps I'm a little OT, but can you please help me which settings/adb commands should I use?
I have the AOD set to off, I would like that my phone shows the ambient display of first post when I lift the phone or touch the screen.
Thanks!

No, didn't exist at the beginning. Started with December.
While the options are there to deactivate it I find it far too sensitive to the slightest touch sets it off

Yes, thanks, I did this, and when lift to check is set OFF, I have the ambient display when I lift up the phone, and this is OK for me. But if I enable Tap to check, the phone goes to homescreen, if I disable it the screen remains dark.

Question Video Fainting while playing on the device

Hi, well I was new here so I was thinking of starting with one problem at a time but,
Whenever I try to play a video, like from all platforms (Prime Video, Youtube, video players like VLC, websites, etc....), the normal color of the video is hindered like there appears to be some kind of a fainting screen overlapping the video reducing the color and playback experience.
And the main thing is this seems to go away when we press the Volume rocker button and until the volume bar appears on the screen the natural colors of the video appear but as soon as it disappears, it goes back to the hindered color version.
It seems like a film is pasted over the screen area and as soon as you press the volume rocker, it is removed!
I have tried formatting and also deleting specific apps used for playing videos and reinstalling them, but of no avail.
Could someone maybe help me out?
Idk if it will work but I would suggest to turn of all options in menu called "Dark Mode options"
Maybe it will help

Hi there!
I changed my motherboard due to another issue with networks but the video issue still remains!
Now the service center guys are saying that it is a feature in the device but what kind of a feature it is if it doesn't let us use the amoled screen with the original colors and darkness!
Well currently don't know any solution have suggested to feedback app in miui but no updates of the same!
If you have got any solution please do tell!
