Hi all,
I've recently got this tablet from Google store (and out of stock now).
After installed all things needed, a serious problem has appeared during in use. Its screen unexpectly trembles, pops notification out, runs and closes apps randomly then unable touchscreen at all. These make me crazy even in screen saver, and power button doesn't work sometimes to stop those happenings.
The device hasn't rooted and staying as 'pure' with only afew apps, so I've done erasing system cache partition on recovery mode and factory reset twice to solve this problem.
Nothing happened so far since reset the device but is still unsettling.. and now I just supposed touching screen badly (with sweaty fingers for example) or the screen protect film I affixed since unboxing might cause the problem.
Does anyone faces a problem like this?
Regards,
Allen
If it was greasy fingers my tablet would be completely unusable. Luckily a quick clean sorts any issues that causes.
My first suspicion would be the screen protector, as mine has done similar when there was something touching the screen. Maybe try taking it off and seeing how it goes? You can also turn on show taps in the Developer Options to be able to see what touches the tablet is detecting when it goes mad.
Better than before

Thanks for your reply. Now I've used a BT mouse to match with mine and less touch on the screen apparently. Nothing happened so far.
It's not a problem of hardware I supposed and pretty sure that the screen protector interferes a certain touch as you commented. Still my eyes are keeping on what caused the problem.

The touchscreen simply stops responding every now and then, witjout any pattern related to external or internal factors. When this happens, battery pull or a restore to factory do not help. After a while, everything starts working normally again.
Any idea what's causing this and how to cure it?
If it survives restarting and resetting, and then suddenly goes away again...
Sounds like a hardware problem, e.g. a not-so-good connection from the screen to the main board. Might need repairs!
Do you have a screen protector? I had a vikuiti one and after a while the display became eratic.

Iv found if I hold the device and my fingers are very close to the screen it effects the screen sensing my input.

Recently, my touchscreen has been either registering random presses about 2/3 of the way up the screen, not registering touches at all, or registering double touches wherever I touch. Before I bring this in, any ideas on something to try? I cannot remember anything that would have caused it like drops or water damage.
Note: My phone is rooted, but I have tried different roms and kernels to make sure that wasn't the issue.
menu from the home screen...settings...language and keyboard...touch input...text input...calibration tool.
You can download Dotty from the market, not the game one. That will let you know exactly where the problem area(s) is(are). The right edge of my screen messed with me for some time before finally not working at all. It would cause all sorts of funky keyboard mistypes, repeated letters and such. Sent it to HTC last thursday, they replaced the screen and I should have it back by the 20th. Covered by warranty so no charge too! I believe my digitizer went bad?
Could also just be a widget causing the problem as I've heard they can somehow screw with the touch input. Faulty digitzers don't seem to be too common...
I should have mentioned that I did the screen calibration, but thanks for that tip. Well I used Dotty and Screen Test and they both confirmed the issue, so I sent it in. Thanks for the help.
I had a day or two where I was unable to get my phone to change orientation from portrait to landscape. Mainly for watching netflix or Youtube. I found a work around for youtube, I had to flip the orientation of the device and press the full screen button. But then my phone was locked in landscape and wouldn't go back to portrait unless I shut the screen off and unlocked the phone again.
I dealt with this for two days, I checked settings to make sure that "auto rotate" was enabled, I disabled it and re-enabeld it just to be certain.
I'm not sure what really fixed it, I started tapping it lightly against the table while the phone was in landscape mode. After about 3 light taps the phone started responding to the changes in orientation again.
Now my question is... What happened, and Why?
I assume that the accelerometer got stuck, but has any one else experienced any issues like this?
So far this is the first issue that I have had out of the device and it has been an awesome 3 weeks
I have an Otterbox Commuter installed on the phone, in case that helps.
Happened here too.

Mine is currently stuck as well. My girlfriend turned rotation off and since turning it back on it won't work. Turning the phone off didn't help.
I've seen multiple users here and on Reddit have fixed the stuck accelerometer by lightly banging against a table.. I find it quite amusing
They get stuck sometimes, especially if the phone has had an impact from dropping. It's a small miracle that they work at all.
If yours gets stuck all the time it could be a bad chip. I'd replace the phone while it's under warranty.
Same problem
After accidentally turning off auto rotate several months ago it stopped working. A light smack on the back of phone fixed it and haven't had a problem since.
HELP!!!
All in a sudden, I am not able to turn on my Nexus 7 again, it just stuck in the first screen showing GOOGLE, I use Pure Nexus rom all the time and it works very well, not sure what happen. Tried to reboot to recovery but the touch screen is not working, is that the problem with the screen or the system issue? is there anyone has the same experience can share your solution?
Much appreciate!

This happens with mine every once in a while as well. Sometimes it will get stuck at the google logo like you are describing and my way to fix it is to do a full wipe and re-flash my ROM then restore my apps and data with Titanium Backup. I also occasionally get other issues like the touch screen being unresponsive or autorotation not working. If autorotation stops working I'll just power off and reboot until it begins working again. As far as the touch screen being unresponsive, sometimes the fix is as simple as just doing a reboot. Sometimes I have to tap on the screen or the back cover with my knuckle using about a third of the force I'd use if knocking on a door. If that doesn't work sometimes lightly tapping the corner of the device on a countertop or table has helped. One more thing that sometimes helps is to set the tablet face down on a flat surface and firmly press down on the back cover with both hands. Be careful though because this is a good way to scratch the glass if the surface isn't 100% smooth and clean. Its better to lay a towel or piece of cloth on the surface under the tablet so the screen doesn't get scratched. My screen was perfect until I did this one day on a dirty countertop and it put about a dozen small scratches on the screen when the tablet slid about a half inch while I was pressing it against the countertop. You just have to experiment while being careful not to beat it up. I hope this helps.

The other day I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I felt a vibration on my wrist. I looked at my watch and it was flipping out on it's own. At the time, I had Wear 2.0 DP installed (in which, you just swipe left/right to change watch faces) and my watch was switching between watch faces on its own, acting as if someone was holding their finger on the screen and rapidly moving it back and forth.
Using the hardware button, I pulled up the apps list and attempted to scroll down to Settings (so that I could try simply restarting the watch). It was like the watch was fighting against me, and each time I would scroll down on the list it would scroll back up on its own a little bit. After a brief struggle I was able to get it to restart, but the touch issues persisted. I opened the app on my phone and unpaired with the watch so that it would reset itself. I got through the Wear 2.0 first time setup screen, tho with enough touch input weirdness that I suspected the issue was still present... and I was right.
I managed to navigate to the Settings and got developer options re-enabled and then proceeded to flash the stock factory image. Hopeful that this was somehow just DP weirdness, I started the first time setup on the watch and could not proceed past the Language Selection screen. No matter how much I tapped, I could not select any of the languages. I noticed that the bottom 1/4 of the screen seemed to be the only part that seemed to be responding to touch input.
I pushed and held the button and got into the Settings and used gestures to get into developer options, re-enabled ADB (so that I could relock bootloader, since at this point it seemed likely that I'd need to send it in and didnt want that to be an issue) and also turned on the options to show touches and show cursor. I backed out to the language selection screen and confirmed what I had been noticing, only the very bottom of the screen was responding to touch input.
At this point, I am just looking for any additional ideas for things to try before giving up and sending it in for repairs. My watch has never been immersed in water or damaged in any way, I've always babied it. I do use Cape Cod's polishing wipes (which are lightly moistened with a polishing solution) periodically to remove minor, unavoidable scuffs and scratches from the body of the watch. I'm careful to avoid getting anything on the screen and always wipe things dry immediately after finishing, but I'm wondering if somehow a small amount of it got in around the screen somehow?
I'm a repair technician and am regularly taking apart and repairing phones, tablets and laptops, but I've never worked on a watch before. Since my watch is still under warranty (purchased in march 2016), I know the smart options is probably just to send it to Huawei, but I've heard numerous negative things about how slow their turnaround is and how they've tried to get out of providing warranty repairs for other customers. I've become quite dependent on my watch in my daily life, and hate the thought of being without it for weeks on end!
Thanks in advance to those who take the time to read this and give input!
I also having almost the same problem. Did u found any solution?
