It doesn't really matter what keyboard I use..whether I use regular touch input, the swipe keyboard, or the gingerbread keyboard I installed...once out of every 6-7 times I use the keyboard...it doesnt type at all...
this problems occured even before I was rooted...what could be causing this?

Faulty touch screen is my guess. Try a full wipe and flash a new ROM. If problem persists call tmob and get an exchange asap
I wouldn't even mess around with rigging it to work, if the touch screen doesn't work, and it is an all touch screen phone...thats kind of a big deal, should get it swapped out asap...
Same prob, doesnt happen as often though. How can it be a bad touch screen if every other touch function works?

exactly....i factory reset and it seemed to help a little bit...i only had it occur once today
now that i factory resetted tho, my root is gone isnt it...
Factory reset just wipes all user settings I belive.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
OK, now I have a problem.
If I turn my xoom off and then on again the touchscreen will not respond to any input, only hardware buttons work.
If I hold volume up and power button to restart, it restarts and everything works OK. I can but it to sleep and wake it up and still everything works. Everything works until I turn it off and on again, then the problem returns and I need to hold volume up and power button to restart it again to get the touch screen working.
I searched the net but didn't find anything similar.
Any ideas?
is it still stock or you rooted / update kernel ?

Its complitly stock wifi only Xoom, bought from US about two weeks old.
I tried Factory reset, it didn't change anything.
Strange thing is that volume up and power reset fixes it every time. And it works fine until i turn it off again. What does this volume up and power button command do exactly, soft reset? If soft reset fixes it, it can't be a hardware problem or can it?
If I were you I would return it cuz to me that sounds like a defect with your xoom. But if u messed with it (rooting/unlocking) they won't even touch it.

Like i already said, i haven't messed with it, it's completely stock.
About returning it... The problem is that i'm in Europe and i bought my Xoom from US, so i'm not really excited about sending it back.
Is it somehow possible to install the current android 3.0.1 rom again? Without unlocking and rooting?
I do not know if it works on the xoom but other tablets have a calibration ini file that you can place on the root of your SD card and reboot letting it recalibrate the touch screen? Let me know and I can send that to you?

Thanks for trying to help! I'm not sure i want to mess with this yet. I talked to Motorola about my problem and the seemed very interested in my problem, so i will wait and see what they suggest.
Any news from there? I have a similar situation here (malfunctioning touchscreen, and I'm from Europe).
You can read my story here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036009
My malfunctioning is slightly different from yours, but I'm interested in what Motorola says for a problem like this.

They are still thinking how they can help me, there is no solution yet, I will let you know when I get a solution from them.
And yes, my problem seems different from you. No one have reported anything similar to my problem.
I have seen a few threads similar to your problem.

Really? I haven't seen anything like my problem in forums, and everyone told me that my problem is "strange" :S
However, just in case, have you thought about how to return the Xoom from Europe to US? Or are you directly talking with Motorola to file a RMA practice? After all, we should have one year of international warranty by Motorola, isn't it?

In fact someone from Motorola US contacted me and offered help, so I can't really say anything bad about Motorola, they are really friendly and helpful. They offered to replace my Xoom, but later discovered that i'm not in US and suggested that I should be able to get a replacement from europe.
Before I was contacted by Motorola US, I sent a email to Motorola UK and they also apologized for the problems I had and offered to replace my Xoom, only problem is that they don't have any in stock at the moment, so I have to wait about two weeks.
As my Xoom works great after I force reboot it, it's not a problem for me to wait, I can use my Xoom until I get a replacement.
I would like to thank Motorola for the great support that they have offered me and I will update this thread when my issue is resolved.
But back to your problem, I suggest that you contact your nearest Motorola office, i'm sure they will try to help you.

I'm trying to do it right now
A little update.
I have been using my faulty Xoom for over two weeks now. I didn't turn it off so it worked until today. Today i tried to install a app from Market and My apps crashed, so i tried to stop it and this caused Launcer to FC (Does Launcer FC cause a automatic reboot?). The screen went black and in about 20 seconds it did show me the lock screen and i had no touch screen control. So i force rebooted it and now it doesn't even start up anymore, it's stuck on boot animation.
So it's starting to get really frustrating... I'm even considering to buy another Xoom, but this really isn't a solution, i have no use for two (if i ever get a replacement).
Has anyone any ideas? Why is it now stuck on boot animation, doesn't this look like a software problem? Is there any way to push clean images to it without unlocking? I understand that unlocking will void my warranty?
Is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking?
Ok, i got it to boot up again. I did Wipe data/factory reset and now it boots up again, but still no touch control.
And it seems that i have confirmed that doing too many force reboots will mess up the system.
BTW, there is a way to get into Android recovery on WIFI only Xoom, i wish i had known this before, "adb reboot recovery" works.
Can someone please answer my question, is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking? Maybe that will fix my touch screen control problem...
I've having this same issue but mine is worse.. the touchscreen is not working AT ALL.. only the power button works..
I can restart the xoom with the volume up power button but after it restarts still no response from the touchscreen!
What can I do to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated..
Hi guys,
I'm using Motorola Milestone XT720 as stated in the title, and it is running on Dexter 2.2 Froyo.
About a month or so ago, my phone keyboard had been giving me problems, the letter 'Q' and '1' on the keyboard are no longer working. Then recently about 3weeks ago, the whole row including of 'Q','W','E','R','T','Y','U','I','O','P' is not working as normal. Now the column of 'Q' is not working as normal. Maybe i should say the screen. But by giving the phone a little knock on the screen it will allow me to type properly for awhile but the problem will return after awhile.
I read up on posts and some say it is the software problems.
What could be the cause? Is there any solution to it? Can you guys help me out please! Thanks in advance.

There is a post in here for a new digitizer replacement, not sure if that would fix it, but not if it is a software issue. what kind of warranty do you have? my provider gives us 2 years. I'm not qualified to answer your question just my 2 cents. Good luck bud.

Try using a different keyboard and if qwerty isn't working with a different keyboard, it is probably a hardware issue. My guess is that the touch screen isn't calibrated. A different kb will tell you if it is hardware or software.
sounds like a hardware problem... why dont you email the service center and ask how much it costs to replace the screen, and then go for it if the price is reasonable? my phone's still under warranty and the guys at the service centre are quite good. went there to fix my lcd and they even helped me replace some other stuff like the metal frame and the digitizer...
I dropped my phone for the second time and now bottom touch sensitive keys aren't working. When I press those keys it registers input as bottom part of touch screen. I can't go back, press menu key or home key. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
I have exactly the same problem.
It seems that display is ok but i cant type letters like:
t, y, f, g, h, c, v, b.
Also, it's similar area when i want to hang up, i can't press red button. However, other applications it seems to work ok.
Did you tried to put phone keyboard in landscape and have you same letters that doesn't work ?
You can download android system info from market and use multitouch test. With one finger you move in all screen area and you see if the circle is on all area. That will tell you if it's hardware or software.

If you have same area not working with keyboard in landscape and with android system info app it's may be hardware related.
You can try to flash back stock sbf to see if it's the same, with a nandroid backup you can restore all after and if you send your phone into warranty you have to flash back your stock sbf.

Did you unlock your bootloader?
If yes, there's really no reverting that. If you used the exploit (motofail2go or whatever) then I think you can.... Not sure about that process, I've officially unlocked
yeah i did unlock the bootloader

Yea, if you went thru the official unlock process, you've registered your serial number with Motorola and voided your warranty...
There's really no going back on that. What were you looking to achieve exactly?

honestly, this is my problem. my screen won't turn on. like, the phone turns on and i can see the notifcation light ant all. but the screen is all black. and before it completely died, it used to glitch out and ****. i'm not sure if it's the digitizer or lcd screen... but i guess i'm just going to have to manually fix it. i'm just not sure exactly what i'm going to have to replace.

Yeah, I had a similar problem except it just the screen wouldn't come on until like a whole minute later. A bit annoying, but I could manage.
What you could do is use rsdlite and the stock files in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=36613321 This'll reset your phone back to stock.

Well I've been okay for the past few days, but before it was extremely annoying. Hasn't happened too much lately. Thank you for the suggestion, though, I will use that whenever it arises again.
