I just wanted to share this, since I was able to replicate this issue with three different phones, also asking if other people are having the same issue.
I am using my Samsung Nexus S for three days.
I noticed that the back button (the first capacitive button on the bottom left) appears to have an hardware problem.
Basically normally it works fine, I mean when I'm not using the phone for some hours.
Then if I start to use the phone, after a moderate use (example installing applications from the market, browsing etc) the button gets less and less sensitive.
After some minutes it gets really annoying.
To make it work it is necessary to use a really stronger pressure with the finger, and it is not even always working!
I am planning to return my device, but today talking with some people/colleagues I discovered that two of them have exactly the same problem.
I'm suspecting there is a batch of Nexus S phones with this glitch, I am curious to know how many people have the same problem.
Note:
At first I thought it was a general issue of the capacitive buttons. But I can't replicate the same problem with the other three buttons, they work very smoothly just lighltly skimming the finger over them, even after long usage.
Anyone with the same problem? What is your experience with this button after some usage?
Cheers
I want to say that I noticed something similar the other day, but it was short-lived, and I'm not 100% sure. It wasn't long enough or bad enough to make me think the phone is defective, but I'm a bit used to funky capacitive button responses from my N1 days.
I can't reproduce the issue right now, though. How much usage are you talking about needing to duplicate?
Does your phone get hot, or feel hotter than normal when this happens?
I'd see if there's some particular pattern or software that seems to trigger it if you're interested in trouble-shooting.
The problem goes away when I don't touch the phone for a while (it seems that 1 hour is enough to reset the problem).
It seems "recharging".
Then with normal usage, nothing in particular, just even browsing in the settings/maps/market/browser etc., in few minutes the problem appears. The button definitely loses his "power".
It's very annoying, and my friends confirmed the same behavior.
EDIT:
Forgot to sat that the phone is not getting hotter, everything else is really normal.
Cheers
Mine definitely can be used for much more than a few minutes without the problem you're describing appearing.
I'd take it back. Factory reset the phone to protect your private data before taking it back. After the factory reset, you might want to test the behavior again, if it went away, the phone's not defective, you just had some software glitch.
Reminder, factory reset erases everything on the phone, so if you do it as troubleshooting step, be prepared to have to set the phone up from scratch again...I'm sure you knew this, but just covering my butt in case you didn't. It's a good trouble shooting step no matter what if you don't mind the hassle of re-setting things up.
I have a similar experience with the back button. Not sure what to think yet.

I had a similar problem when I had the Vibrant. Just exchanged it and luckily I got a better one without any problems. I did find out though if you are using the screen protector that came with the phone, it can cause this type of problem.
No problem, I will try everything tomorrow. This is not my primary phone (still loving my rooted Nexus One with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 ;-) I can't renounce to the colored trackball for the different notifications), but just a "dev" phone for testing purposes.

The app NOLED from the Market may interest you if you can't live without trackball style color notifications. Seems to work fine when I tested it.

Thank you, giving it a try.
Anyway, today I factory-reset my telephone and the problem of the back button is still there. I am returning the device.
Back button non responsive
Hi,
I just got my new nexus S (about an hour ago) that I was really excited about and am faced with a problem with the back button too.
Its got factory settings, so it cannot be a downloaded software issue. Also, I have not yet charged the battery at all, its still running on the same battery power that it shipped with.
The other buttons at the bottom of the phone (home, menu and search) all respond fine, its only the back button that does not seem to work. After going through this thread, I tried long-pressing the button, hard-pressing it, pressing just above it, below it, etc. It just wont respond. I had removed the screen protector it shipped with, so that cannot be the issue either.
If this is a known hardware problem (i.e. others have faced it too), irrespective of whether it is acknowledged by Samsung / Google, I'll return the handset. I do not want to spend a fortune and be landed with a handset that does not work - forget working as desired, but it does not seem to be working as designed !
Thanks & Regards,
Rohan
Yep. Definitely a problem here with the back button. There's also two other threads here about it.
I'm having similar problems. I have to touch the button just right for it to work properly

I was experiencing the same thing with my Nexus S, wasn't sure if it was the case I was using! Took of case and still had problem. I eventually returned mine cause it seemed like it was getting worse! I have a new one worth no problems, definitely a hardware problem! Return it!

those buttons work over the heat of your finger. thats why after use it doesnt get as responsive. its because the screen is also heated and the heat of the screen is effecting the buttons. thats why you need harder pressure for the phone to understand this is your finger.
same issue was with Nexus 1. less responsive buttons. thats why there is a bigger gap between the buttons and the screen for galaxy S phones. i dont know why they did such a thing again with the nexus S. its like samsung didnt learn from anything from HTCs mistake.
They work with capacitance, not heat. Hence it being called a capacitive screen with capacitive buttons.
I think this is true ...
I have an HTC Desire with AMOLED screen.
When I play a finger intensive game, like "SkyForce Reloaded", after some times, the touch is not registered.
Then I must stop for a while, or change finger
Try that, you will know what I meant.
But, I don't have issue with the back button on HTC Desire because it is a hardware button. I am just trying to explain about loosing touch registration because finger interaction on (s)amoled screen.
PS: SkyForce Reloaded is an old school shot'em up game where you control a little space ship with your finger, shooting enemies.

The Desire's digitizer is the same Clearpad 2000 which is used in the Nexus One (and quite a few others), the problem there is that it's pants.

lol, isnt called like that because it registers the heat from your fingers. thats why if you try to use a pen, it wont register . and thus. the screen is NOT resistive type "where it will recognize anything since its being pushed by force ? "

from your link
"A capacitive touchscreen panel is one which consists of an insulator such as glass, coated with a transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide (ITO).[7][8] As the human body is also a conductor, touching the surface of the screen results in a distortion of the screen's electrostatic field, measurable as a change in capacitance. Different technologies may be used to determine the location of the touch. The location is then sent to the controller for processing.
I got my Xoom (WiFi) yesterday... already noticing some weird touchscreen behaviour.
It seems to me that whenever the Xoom is laid down flat, there's a chance that the device will stop responding to touch presses properly. Instead of being able to press-and-swipe, it acts like I tapped the screen (eg, pressed my finger on the screen and then lifted it straight back off) or worse, it causes a screen press in completely the wrong position. When it starts happening, it keeps on happening, but picking the Xoom up and holding it vertical seems to fix the problem.
Half the time it seems fine laid down though, so I'm not sure if it's just coincidence that it stops working at the same time I put it down flat or not, or that maybe picking it up means my hand is in contact with the back of the screen and this somehow changes some sort of electrical variable in my hands that affects the touchscreen operation.
Anyone else seen the same issue? I'm thinking I may need to take it back but want to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
Chris.
ok.. judging by the lack of response on this, I may either be on my own or it's just something that nobody is noticing. I've been testing it a bit more - I wrote an app which can show each touch point on the screen so I can see how the screen press/drag is working. This is what I've found.
Holding the tablet upright, screen presses and movements are fine, however I've noticed that if I hold my fingers in the same place for a while, the touch points will prematurely end.
If I put the Xoom down on the couch, there is a strong likelihood that the touchscreen will become incredibly unresponsive. I have had it regularly show up phantom presses where touching one point of the screen makes it appear as if I have also pressed another point of the screen. I also cannot drag my fingers across the screen - the touch points stay where they are until I take my fingers off the screen completely, or they just disappear right away as if I tapped the screen.
When this happens, if I touch the side of the case with either a free finger or my other hand, the touchscreen starts working perfectly! Seriously! I'm not kidding, I've been messing with this thing almost non-stop for the past coulpe of days and it is consistently doing this. So - couch + little finger on side of case = working touchscreen. couch but no contact with metal case = malfunctioning touchscreen.
If I have the Xoom in Motorola's case, it seems to work fine. If I put it on a table, it's a bit buggy but generally works better than on the couch. Any sort of material seems to send it regularly into crazy mode. The only time I've noticed it doesn't do this is if I'm in contact with the device immediately before putting it down and then remain in contact with the screen.
Could some sort of static charge cause this? Is it possible that me touching the back of the case is effectively allowing it to 'conduct' electricity properly on the touch screen? I'm not all that familiar with how capacitative screens work other than I assume they measure capacitance from your fingers. Maybe a static charge could throw it off. Or maybe I have weird fingers.
Anyway, I'm pretty close to taking the Xoom back now. Just trying to figure out if it's actually faulty or whether they're all like it by 'design'.
sorry
need to post to remove my limitations sorry again
This could be a loose touch controller cable. Someone had similar problems and posted a how to fix this, search for it.
It happens with me too, it's incredible annoying when you are developing and the tablet is on your table for debugging..
Did you find how to fix it?
I have a serious unresponsive issue on my Xoom when charging. I've tried several different chargers, (all from Motorola) with no luck. Unfortunately all the ones I tried where at my house so I'm not sure if its a wiring issue in my house.
I also have a similar problem on my Droid Razr so I'm starting to think its definitely the wiring.
Anyone know about this issue or have any recommendations?

Thats weird.. i owned xoom n droid razr too but i dun have any iissue
It could be a wiring issue (try another house, I guess), but a lot of devices are like that where the touch screen stops being as responsive when it's on a wall charger.
Hi everyone, this is my first post here. Thanks in advance for any help that you folks can provide.
I've had the TF101 for about six months now, and it's been fine. I was using it yesterday on the train and all was good, but when I got home and took it out of my bag it didn't seem to start up. I thought it might have been a battery issue, so I let it charge overnight. Tried starting it up this morning and I got the same results. So I started looking in to other issues.
The tablet is definitely starting, adb will recognize it in its list of devices, and if I plug it in to my tv or desktop monitor w/ HDMI, I can see and interact w/ the Transformer UI (of course this is kind of painful since I have to do some guessing about where to put my fingers).
I had rooted it using rebound821's scripts and directions here, so tried an unroot to see if that was the problem. I ended up with the same results.
Does anyone here have any insights as to what the problem may be? I'm hoping to avoid sending it back to ASUS, so I'm fine w/ opening it up to look for loose cables.
So I thought that brightness might be the problem. Maybe it was set to 0 and I just wasn't seeing anything on my screen. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I tried setting brightness at the path below to to 0, 50, 100.
/sys/devices/platform/pwm-backlight/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness
Still no luck.
Has anyone encountered anything remotely similar to this (even if similar is just a dead screen)?
There have been others with dead screens reporting what you are, at least I have read a few reports, I think they just had to get them RMA'd, I don't recall anyone 'fixing' a dead screen, especially if you still have adb and touch working then the screen itself and backlight seem to have broken completely- some have reported the backlight dying and thinking the screen was broken, but it was just the backlight (I guess in bright light they could see pixels working, but couldn't make out what was on the screen without the backlight). I still think they had to get it repaired either by Asus or by someone who was capable of doing internal repairs with replacement parts..sorry for your luck
Looks like I'll have to send it back. I took it into the brightest light I could find and couldn't see anything at all. Guess it's the screen and maybe the backlight too. I'm pretty disappointed this happened, the only thing I can think of is that the bag I had it in was hanging from the chair in front of me on the train and it was swaying a little, and that shouldn't be enough to dislodge a connection. Either that or just some freak hardware failure. Still, I guess it's not that common of an occurrence. Thanks for the reply, I'll slink off and try to get in touch w/ Asus now.
I have experience same
My TF101 broke in the same way, screen blank. Conected to tv I`ve got image digital touch work. I shut down my TF101 normaly and screen never go back to live again. Tablet was in a protective bag (when I trave by car), just no reason for not working ( no problem at screen, previously, screen perfect - no dead pixels)
Did you guys get this resolved? I had the EXACT same thing happen yesterday. Was working just fine. Put it in its sleeve, into a protective case, into a briefcase, got home and dead.
HDMI works. I tried to call Asus but they say i'm out of warranty.
Thanks in advance.
Must be something wrong with the connections that it decays over time. I've had mine since October last year and its been fine except for today when I brought it home it wouldn't work.
I was able to fix it though. I held it vertically with the bottom edge down and tapped it firmly on my desk a couple of times. The screen came back on. There is a strong possibility that this will happen again and my tap fix won't work, but it's working at the moment

I had exactly the same problem discussed in this thread. I was also able to bring the screen of my TF101G to life by tapping it firmly on my desk with the bottom edge. It works for now. But it is certainly disconcerting to know that some connection in this rather expensive gadget are loose and all this can happen again. I guess I will not carry my transformer around any more - just leave it at home...

Same problem here had my unlocked bootloader tf101 for awhile now, one of the first ones out... had a great life gave it to my girl when i got the transformer prime and the screen just went out yesterday, still goes in apx mode and still recognized by computer, screen just straight up died, think it's too late for a manufacture warranty, maybe ill look but think it's gonna be no dice... sucks obviously something in the design to make this happen to so many of them...
My TF101 appears to have a dead screen. I am rooted and running Revolver Custom Rom. When connected to my pc, I am able to recognize my device. My screen will not turn on so I cannot use recovery to go back to stock. I am set up to use ADB, however, I am not very knowledgable with ADB. I am convinced I have a bad screen and I am still under warranty. Is there a way to return the TF101 back to stock using ADB? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I can probably figure it out. Otherwise, I may just try and replace my screen and see how that works out. Thanks for the help.
My backlight died on Tuesday. Similar situation of working in the morning, headed into work with it in my bag, no brutal knocks or anything but one jolt just must of finished it off after a year and 2 weeks abuse (yes 2 weeks out of warrenty).
Going to attempt to take it apart this afternoon and play with the ribbon cable as reseating it has solved quite a few peoples problems.
Woo! It worked! Very happy chappy.

Screen goes derp
I don't know if I have the same problem or not.
Backstory: I own a Transformer TF101 that I got for my birthday from my girlfriend. It was meant for travel and bs'ing around at home. Took it into work and quickly realized that I could use this for work. That went over so well that the rest of the office became intrigued. Once these came on sale on groupon, the office manager went all in on 10. These are all refurbished transformers with docks.
They have all been handed out and I now have a transformer for home and work. Kind of nice...but I do a lot of site observation so using my personal transformer was a risk that I had to take all on my own (survived a 5' fall off of a parapet wall already).
The problem: From the first 5 minutes that I had the thing, the transformer screen went blank. I opened up google play to download a few apps that I could use for work. Scrolling down I saw some choppyness which I considered the processor/memory having issues loading everything on the screen. Before I knew it - boom blank screen. Rebooted and the loading screen stays on for 2 seconds before the screen goes blank. I can tell it's working because it plays a sound at start up. I can also tell the screen is lit up (it's like it's showing a grey screen because it can't show true black colors). If I hit the power button again it goes completely black. I hit the power button again and the screen flashes to the lock screen and immediately goes blank again. I could do this over and over and over again.
Anybody having the same problem? It's refurbished....I'm guessing apparently I got the dud.
I ran into pretty much the same problem. One morning, the tablet screen would just not turn on. Sometimes, it came on and immediately shutdown, but it is still on the "On" mode. Hit the power button again will bring it to the off mode. Toggle it one more time, sometimes, will turn on the screen a off again. I was able to get it back to work with a factory restore. However, it has the following problems.
1) As soon as I adjust the brightness, the screen will go off again. And there is nothing I can do to bring it back except another factory restore.
2) The screen will flicker (and sometimes produces some clicking sound) when charging with the screen on.
Looks like my TF101 is having same issue, screen gone off suddenly (hdmi shows up in TV fine)...I am going give a try on reseating the cable hoping it resolves the issue.
leonpr, is there some tips/things I have to make sure before attempting this. I found a guide here and another youtube video on this issue as a reference...
Thanks..
Screen won't turn on unless factory reset "fix"
My girlfriend has an ASUS TF101. If the brightness goes up to 60%, the screen is blanked (no backlight either) and the only way to get it to turn back on again is to hard reset. This coincidentally happened at the same time as an update from ASUS. After lots of Googling it does not appear to be related. I was hoping it was and installed several custom ROMS which all experienced the same issue.
As a temporary work around, until I get the guts & the money to be able to replace her tablet if I break it, I found and installed AutomateIt. I set a trigger so that when the screen is turned off, the brightness is set to 50%.
Why trigger when the screen is off instead of when the screen hits above 59%? If you have this same problem, hold the brightness and go all the way until the screen blanks and then still holding your finger on the screen, move it all the way to the left and you will notice that the screen did not come back on. Press the power button once to turn it off and then again to turn it on and you will see the screen at the lowest brightness setting.
So, with the trigger in place, if you accidentally (or one of your rotten kids intentionally:angel raises the brightness above the threshold, simply press the power once to turn off the screen and then press it again to turn the screen on.
Just a note, I ended up installing AutomateIt Pro, Available for $1.60 from the Play Market. The free version works fine, but my girlfriend has been struggling with this issue for a couple of months and after so many hard resets, the little app is more than worth the money.
Have you tried Power + Volume Down for 15 seconds, and then leaving it alone for one minute? It will cold boot. Try that and it may work. Just saying; Hope it will help
Sorry for the necro-bump but here's the actual solution.
Problem: The video cable inside the Transformer comes loose and just needs to be pushed back in.

Just fixed my blank display problem on a TF101 which is well out of warranty. Here is the link. I found the connector loose after dropping my TF101.
Thanks!
Fix lasted for a few days, now backlight dead, tried all cables again. No joy . I hate intermittent faults so ordered a Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 10.1.
Well the unfortunate happened and my lcd is dead. How do I know that the its just the lcd? the phone itself works beside the screen. I was suprized to see that the soft keys light up when I tried to see if it has any life left. had face lock on so I was able to get into it and hear the max volume bump noise. Tried to perform a blind call by pressing the screen in places that I think i should be able to make a call and whatdo you know? it calls! so I sat down to investigate more and i was able to get the adb running. problem was that with 4.2 you need to allow adb connection by clinking on a prompt on the thing it self to authorise it. so after a couple of minutes of just poking the screen I got adb running so I was able to screen cast it. :victory: couple minutes later I got Teamviewer working on it so I was able to controll it that way.
Anyway so much for that story. so I dropped it while walking a dog and it was in a leather case so atleast it landed somewhat softer. the screen does not seen to be cracked, the touch screen/digitizer still works, but no light can be seen from the screen.
I did took it apart cause I have no warranty. Sadly I'm no expert so I can't say whats wrong with the insides, but the lcd/digitizer connector looked to be sitting tight in its place. I did took the motherboard out and put it back after a quick look. Checked all the ribbon cables, everyting seemed to be sitting tight. So no luck there and I'm assuming that the lcd is just dead. Currently I have it in blind mode so it speaks out everyting I press
I was looking for some screen replacements and noticed that there is quite the difference between the I9100 and the I9105 screen prices. BUT the I9105 is basically I1900 with a different chipset? So I'm wondering if the screen form/chasi/cable placement is the same? if so than the prices are just obviously jacked up for the newer model.
P.S. writing this on a tablet and I type like a moron on this thing so sorry if your grammar nazi inside you flickers while reading this
Bump, seriously? noboby?
hey guys, this is my first day here lol
so I wanna ask something regarding the touchscreen in my phone because I can't find any solutions anywhere on the net
I just replaced my touchscreen yesterday, it looks good, and it feels good
but then I realised something when I type
the new touchscreen isn't very responsive when I type/tap fast
then i tried something called Yet Another MultiTouch Test
turns out, everytime I tap fast on 2 different points, the touchscreen detects it as a swipe between those 2 points
so it doesn't register as taps, but a swipe
I already tried repairing through PC Companion, glove mode is off (but the weird thing is I can even touch the screen through 10 pieces of paper, and when I turn it on, there's no difference. hypersensitive?), touch & hold delay doesn't have anything to do with it (neither is pointer speed), and tap2wake is off
is this a software problem? or is there any chance that the service guy didn't install the screen properly? or is it just a defective screen?
Hey,
I replaced my Frame and Display with one from Aliexpress.
The LCD Quality is great, but I have similar touchscreen issues.
Mine has normal responsiveness, but has hickups while typing from time to time. It will swipe between two letters for example.
Rarely it also has ghost touches.
My theory is: something is either not grounded properly or shorted to ground by the flex cable, or it might have something to do with the frame beeing just ever so slightly bent and the touchscreen is under tension somehow.
Haven't had the time to rip the screen of the frame and re-adhere it, but that's what I'll try next.
Regarding the paper: My primary phone (Redmi Note 3 Pro) works through 8, so that's pretty normal.
Does enabling glove mode do anything for you? Does double tap to wake work?
For me, both of those don't work.

regarding tap2wake, it works
but turning glove mode on/off doesn't seem to make any difference, the weird thing is the phone still works with gloves even though glove mode is off, so turning on tap2wake is a bad idea because it detects touches through my pockets
and yeah, my lcd quality is great too, heck I gotta admit I like this more than the original
so I went back to the guy that replaced the screen, asked him to see what's wrong with it and maybe rip the screen and re-adhere it like you said, but he keeps insisting that "it's normal because there is no way it can match the quality of the original screen"
so yeah, there're no other way than to disassemble it by myself or go somewhere else and risk it getting worse than before
