[Q] Dead patch on screen - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I wake up my Nexus S sometimes there is a dead patch on the lower left of the screen, I notice it because I can't use the keyboard on the left-hand side. If I lock it and wake it again it works just fine.
It's running 2.3.4, any ideas what could be the problem?

[Q] Section of the screen unresponsive

I seem to have a problem with the letter p on the default honeycomb keyboard - it doesnt seem to let me use the letter p correctly. If I hit the key i the dead centre, it is completely unresponsive. But around the edges of the letter it works fine.
I dont think its and issue with the touchscreen as it works fine in other apps (no dead spots) just i the keyboard in lamdscape mode.
Am I completely crazy or can anyone else replicate?
Actually, after playing with it a little more there seems to be a small area of the screen completely unresponsive to touch.
Could this be a software issue or is it likely to be a fault with the touch matrix on the screen?
Have you tried restarting the tf?
Try turn off and then turn on the screen. Also check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068569
Thanks for the quick replies. Just restarted it and it seems fine for now. Didn't realise there was a known issue wrt touch screen responsiveness

[Q] Top half of screen not responsive

Running CyanogenMod 6.1.2 - 0.10, fastboot with boot2.img, Go Launcher Ex.
Anybody has a problem with the top half of the screen being unresponsive? For example, I can't scroll between screen flicking on top half of the screen. But the bottom half would work.
The HW is fine, because if I tries to drag an icon from the bottom half, I can move it freely to the top half of the screen no problem.
In google map, I can rotate my device to landscape, and the problem rotates with it. I can't access any of the buttons on the top half of the program, but bottom half works fine.
I have only been able to reproduce using boot2 or boot5. I haven't seen this without swap. Restarting launcher does not fix it. I have seen cases where it fixes itself after a while (say 5 minutes).
Anybody seen the same problem? Thanks.
The same thing happens to me occasionally on Cyanogenmod 6.3 RC3. Putting it to sleep and waking up a few times usually solves it for me. A reboot will do it on the rare occasions sleep won't work.

lock screen rotating all of a sudden (CM7)

i have an inspire with cm7.1 stable..
after running fine since i updated it, just the other day out of the blue the lock screen now rotates depending on the phones orientation..
on top of that its also very buggy, if i try to unlock the phone while its re-orienting itself, the phone will reboot..

[Q] Motorola Milestone 3 -Can't get past locked screen.

I believe that my touch screen is not working, because when I turn my Motorola Milestone 3 on it goes to the lock screen (With the circle and a key icon that pulsates) and I cannot get it to move to the left or the right. Basically my phone has become a clock. It also no longer shows me if anyone is calling, but rings on their end. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also if I open the keypad, more often than not it freezes (I know that it has frozen because the icon in the middle is no longer pulsating, and the clock gets stuck.)

Touch screen - upper left corner not registering touches

I noticed yesterday that the upper left corner of the screen isn't registering touches.
Anything I can do to correct? Maybe my tempered glass screen protector is bugging something out?
Since my bootloader is unlocked, I'm guessing I'm up the creek without a paddle for a warranty fix or replacement?
Thoughts?
Disregard, a restart of the phone remedied... Go figure ?
I'm having the same issue
also having the same issue. restart does fix the problem, but then the issue returns after a few hours. it also does NOT seem to be a hardware issue, as even when I rotate the phone from portrait to landscape, the 'new' topleft corner (previously the top-right corner in portrait mode) will also become unresponsive. seems like a firmware bug or something? anybody have any longterm solution rather than restarting the phone every few hours?
I've noticed that if I rotate to landscape , that previously unresponsive spot on the screen works fine.
I've also noticed that if I tap on the status bar just above it, it works fine.
Very odd! Other than that small quirk, I love the phone!
Same thing
Same issue here.. Corrects after a restart... Other than that it's the best phone I've had.
Issue seems to have been resolved in Marshmallow, or at least so far been running all day without the problem !
