I am having a very annoying problem that I think may be related to the lock screen issues. I have the lock screen issue that is intermittent. My biggest complaint is that after I unlock the phone and say want to type a text or dial a phone number, the right hand side of the touch screen is not responsive for about 3-5 seconds. Very, very disappointing.
Is this common or related?

The main issue I'm having is, on occasion, the touch screen seems to behave erratically, registering input even when I am not touching the screen. I can't seem to figure out how to reproduce it reliably, but it seems to happen at least once every day. The phone seems to think something is touching parts of the screen, as it launches apps, types garbage on the keyboard, bounces the lock screen up and down, etc, all without me even touching the device. And of course, when I do touch the device, it either doesn't register, or 'fights' with the ghost input, and basically doesn't do what I want.
Try changing your touch sensitivity from High to Normal. Find under Settings - touch - Touch sensitivity.
This worked for me Mine was very sensitive too when I first bought it but after messing around with it for a couple of days and changing the setting from High to Normal and back again it's been fine ever since, Crazy!
I've got an intermittent problem - sometimes when I wake the phone up, the touch screen doesn't work. It happens when I wake it up with the power button, when someone calls, or when an alarm wakes up the screen. That means when the problem happens, I can't answer the call, or turn off the alarm (sometimes locking the screen and waking it up immediately works).
It doesn't seem to be affected by whether or not the phone is or has been charging, whether it's been in my pocket or the temperature of the device. I've not been able to discern a pattern at all. Once the phone is unlocked and the touchscreen is working though, it works perfectly. The problem never returns while I'm using it, only if I lock it, and only sometimes.
If I leave the screen on while touch is unresponsive, I can tell when it is responsive to touch again by a line that quickly flashes along the top edge of the screen. At that point, the screen operates entirely normally.
In what may be a related item, when I'm on a call, sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work properly and the screen turns back on and starts working. I get off the call and find my phone in a different app.
Does the Nexus 5 use the proximity sensor while the screen is off as a way to weed out unintended touches while the phone is in a pocket?
I'm going to try and store it face up over the next couple of weeks and see if the problem continues, but I was hoping that someone might have some insight.
About the phone:
I cracked the screen over the summer and had it replaced, but I didn't have any issues with it at all until I installed Lollipop. 5.0.1 hasn't made a difference
Hi, I have problems with touchscreen on my sensation xe. The touchscreen is unresponsive in lower part of screen. Sometimes it's working properly but just for few minutes. After heavy usage it also starting making fake touches on the area.
First picture in attachments shows what happened when i slowly swipe from top to bottom.
Second picture shows what happened when i swipe with one finger on the "failed" area from left to right. Even single touch on this area makes two fake touches or nothing.
I want to ask you if you experienced similar issue and if so how you solved it?
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 !
So I recently dropped my phone (with a case) and a rock may have hit the screen directly. There is only a tiny, minor scratch on the top of the screen but the internal touch sensor on the bottom half seems to be messed up. Certain places of the screen will identify touches randomly to other places on the screen causing random swipes and taps when typing. I probably wouldn't be able to type this post on my phone without it tapping out of the keyboard or exiting chrome completely. I could barely swipe through developer tools without it randomly tapping the enable toggle countless times.
Now I know I probably can't fix this cause its a hardware issue but is there any way to make my experience any better for me until I can finally get an upgrade?
RIP, looks like it was just the crappy block I was using to charge the phone
