Touchscreen freeze

Hello !
I made the march update yesterday, and now my touchscreen freezes if I don't use it for a few seconds. To make it work again, I have to lock/unlock the phone, or to tap the screen until it works.
It's probably a software issue, because it happenned just after the update. Does someone have the same problem ?

I'm having the same problem. It's the right 3rd of the screen that becomes unresponsive. If you swipe over on the left side of the screen, you will be able to use the right side again. This is my second day with this and it's becoming incredibly annoying.

I just realised it ! For me, the only responsive part is the left 4th of the screen. I hope Google Will fix it soon. I don't want to reset my phone.

I'm not seeing this issue... how long is it taking to freeze? also what are you guys running? stock or stock rooted?

I'm running stock. If you wait 5 seconds after the scroll bar vanishes, the right side of the screen is unresponsive. If you swipe the left side, it works again. It's really a problem when I'm doing remote desktop to my computer and when I'm playing candy crush.

You should post any post March update issues you are having, here. https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/nexus/other-discussions/2HXGtYoPwa4

I'm running stock too. It takes aproximately 6 seconds for the touchscreen to freeze.

I just tried to reboot in safe mode : it doesn't solve the problem.

Does it happen in recovery or bootloader?

I just received the update this afternoon and I'm encountering the same issue. Quite frustrating.

I got my Nexus 5X yesterday with exactly the same issue.. Flashing any older factory image did not help. :/

I wonder if opting in to the Android N beta would have any effect. Not sure I'm ready to commit to running beta on my only phone; but I am tempted.

On my phone the problem existed on stock rom (I tried 3 drifferent versions), cm13 and N preview. I do not think that flashing any other Rom would make any difference.

Appreciate the information on your experience. Hopefully this is something Google can track down and is correctable in software.

Exact same issue for me since MHC19J. This is driving me nuts.

I've tried all versions except a full CM ROM. So stock, beta, and a few different AOSP builds. I cannot reproduce any screen issues being reported here.
Is there maybe a common app that you all share? No one has mentioned whether you are rooted or not.

another day (not) in paradise

the best example: Open Wifi Analyzer (in Listview) wait for results and the tap the "Back" Button. (not taping or swayping around during the wifi scan process).
Open Wifi-Analyzer (Listview) wait for result and tap the Backbutton. It took 34 seconds and 34 tapps on the backbutton until the screen turns off, but no reaction until i activate the screen.
Nexus 5X
Stock
Build MHC19J; OTA
No Root Access
for me it's beginnig on entering the SIM-PIN. It takes a few tries to enter my PIN.
Sometimes it's the Back-Button (Back - Menu - Switching Apps)
And it seems to be on the left side of the screen

I'm running stock without root.
Reviewing the previous posters list of apps, the only things I have in common are the standard Google apps.

Stock without root.
The issue is still there even when rebooting in safe mode, so it seems to be unrelated to any installed app.
Time to RMA I guess.
Edit:
Just read this in a reddit thread:
Update: I've managed to fix my issue by reverting back to a 6.0.0 build and formatting the cache,system, and userdata using the fastboot tool during the new rom install.

Same issues here.. Just found that thread.. Got my phone yesterday and thought it might be a hardware issues and thinking of shipping it back.. But now..
Tried newest factory image unrooted, CM13, Bliss, DU every single ROM has it.
It also appears directly after bootloader I think, where you can lock your Phone before booting the real ROM.. It's a pain in the ass!

I have this too on my wife's phone. My 5x is fine. March update caused the right side of screen to go dead to touches after 6 seconds of non use...
So annoying ..

Android 9 Pie and camera crashes...

So about a month ago on 8.1 my camera starts crashing out, airplane mode is no help. Did the 9 OTA upgrade today, and looks like at the least for me, the alleged software fix might not be in it? (Though I may be one of those with the permanent hardware condition that requires an RMA, and not an airplane mode fixes it victim...)
Anybody else with the camera crash problem see it fixed with the OTA P upgrade?

Hmm...I've never had a single camera crash from Google camera on this phone yet.

this is not an issue,
this must be because of an OTA issue or some other app,
use logcat to find out why the crash,

I don't have this issue on 8.1/DP3-5, but I encounter issue after update to official Pie today. Then I did clear cache and storage in APP storage setting and my camera go back to functional.

Screen Flickering

Hi,
So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFdyDwuS_w
The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?

Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.

Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?

me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other

Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]

I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen

Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have

The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

Oxygen OS 11 bugs

Hi!
I own the HD1901 (Indian Variant) of the OnePlus 7t. Recently after receiving the OTA update for 11.0.2, my phone has become very buggy.
WiFi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting randomly. Have turned off the auto WiFi switch but not helping.
When I receive a call, my phone starts vibrating however the call notification doesn't pop up for the next 5 or more seconds. Thus I'm unable to see who is calling me until 5-10 seconds after I receive the call even though my phone is vibrating/ringing.
There is a delay in taking pics with the Camera app. Earlier it used to instantly save the images but now there is a slight delay after clicking the capture button.
The overall OS at times seems to be a bit buggy and laggy.
I'm not sure if there are more people facing such bugs but does anyone have a solution as to how to fix this?
Appreciate any form of help, thank you!

Format data (clean flash)

There is also a 3 second delay when clicking on the notification and when it opens the app, anyone have a fix?

Miui 12.5 issue?

Hi I have recently bought a second hand redmi note 8 pro to use with a drone I have also recently purchased.
everything has been working fine. Until last night 21/07/21 I had a notification of the new miui 12.5 update. which I left to do its thing. The issue is the screen does not respond to touch. it appears to boot up ok gets to the screen shown. I have had it on fastboot screen and also wiped all data (can't seem to get mi assistance to work.)
Has anyone else had the update/ issue?
How would you recommend proceeding.

I have the same problem (Redmi Note 8 Pro Global - MI firmware). After updating from 12.0.8, the touchscreen stopped working.
I had to roll back through the fastboot. I also tried to flash version 12.5.1.0 via fastboot - the problem persists.
The phone had a replacement display module, but with an original one.
There is an idea to try to flash it with a version for Indonesia or China, but so far I have not tested it.

Issue with SIM selection for calling on MIUI 12.5 Global - Redmi Note 8 Pro​
Anyone experiencing this bug with default SIM for call?
The Google Dialer will ask for which SIM to call on reboot even tho I already set it as SIM1 or SIM2 in the Settings.
The workaround is manually reselecting the SIM but only effective till next reboot.

Same exclusive Xiaomi Update Fail Forget about help or information from the official Support.
Connect a mouse with a USB-C to USB Adapter and backup your personal data.

I have exact same issue on this update. I also replaced the screen some time ago. I belive it's android 11 problem, because CFWs like PE doesn't work too. ROMs with Android 10 also seems weird to me, because digitizer keeps "jumping" and clicking random places. Android 9 - all works perfectly fine. I am going to find out which partition is used to use touchscreen and check if it's possible to flash it over PE ROM to solve the problems.

I have some problems after updating to MIUI 12.5.1:
1. Have to repeat the procedure twice for uploading any picture from gallery to anywhere on Internet. It doesn't work in first attempt.
2. Fingerprint sensor shows many errors off & on. 3-4 attempts to open the phone. Tried re-registering my fingers.
3. Option of Completely Hide Notch gone
4. While playing Facebook videos, sound continues, video stops.
Too annoying these bugs are.

Yes, the great manufacturer has kept its information behind the mountain. I have just found a contribution to this in the mi community.
It only briefly mentions that repairs should be made with an official display. I also do not understand why Xiaomi makes such a secret of it and does not give the reasons. Link
I have installed the Global 12.0.5 Stable QGGEUXM and I am also aware of these display anomalies.
Do you have any results in the project?

I've tested all partitions but any of them seems to be changing display driver. So sorry, no luck there, I think we're stuck with android 9. It looks like it is hard-coded into firmware.

I noticed a break in a layer of the display within 14 days of use. There was no heavy use or pressure on the display. Xiaomi - K.O.

How to bring back the option of "Completely Hide the Notch" in MIUI 12.5.1?

I have just realised I didn't update. I was having lots of trouble fixing this. I think my reply from xiaomi was wait for the next update this might fix it.
Thank you to Boo-Kah-Kee, I never knew you could plug a mouse in.
anyway I eventually got it back to the prievious rom by following this Video.
No more updates it works fine.
