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).

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..
Hey guys, is there a way to calibrate the nexus s touchscreen? Sometimes it is unresponsive...
Anybody?
unresponsive? Maybe you just need to make a good wipe and fresh instal of your rom/kernel..
no?
I don't think so because it happened since gingerbread 2.3.6, and now i have brainmaster's stock 4.0.3 with eugene's kernel and still happens sometimes... and i did a full wipe before flashing ICS.
i used the nook screen calibrator from the market...it worked fine for me
sent from Ice Cream Infused NS4g
I'll give it a shot and let you know, thanks. BTW, on the market i've found Nook Screen Recalibrate, it is the same as you used, right?
Edit: I've tried the app and it managed to improve the touchscreen response, but didn't solve my problem at all (phantom touches). But they're almost gone. Is there any other app like that?

Same thing with mine. The phantom touches are only vertical but the device has become unusable.
I'm installing Cyanogenmod 10 now. Let's see if that helps.

It didn't help. touch seems to work but if I hold the touch the touch sensor goes crazy and starts touching several random points in the screen, all in the same vertical as the place I touch.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Could be but since the problem started after I ran the Nook Screen Recalibrate my first suspicion was the program.
I'm trying several different solutions from other threads and none seems to work:
- TouchRecalibrate.apk
- calibration.ini
- ts_calib-signed.zip

If you wipe everything and flash a rom, there's no way it's a software issue.

Well, it's working now. I don't know exactly what soved the problem but in my despair I re-executed all procedures and something must have gone right. Wish I could tell what fixed it for others but I really don't know.
Thanks for the help polobunny
Same problem
Hey,
I got the same problem,
so I did some research, I found out that there lots of people got the same problem.
A wipe, or install an other kernel or rom will work, but it will for some reason return.
For some models it's enough to install a kernel with some other touchscreen preference. One problem, it will only work on android 2.3 there are not jet other newer kernels published
But 99% its not a screen problem, so u can buy a new screen and replace it with no success. But most of the people say it's a hardware problem. So modify the touchscreen driver.
sorry, bad english​

Best bet I know of is to reflash firmware as discussed at length in this thread. I can't guarantee the result, but if you're game, I've done it to correct erratic responsiveness. To give you an example, I replaced the touch screen only to find out I couldn't move the icons from the main screen to where I wanted them to be. They'd just slip as I dragged them. I reflashed the firmware, then tried a few roms. Paranoid solved it. From then on, no more errors no matter what. Good luck.
I had my tab rma'd and techs left a tf300 touch tool on my tab that looks like a screen calibrater. Pm me if you want to try it

Hi everyone, I hope I chose the right forum where to post, and I am sorry if I didn't.
I have a problem with a new cubot s208: sometimes, randomly, my screen starts flickering for some seconds, and then it goes completely black. But the strange thing is that if I lock the screen when the screen is black, when I unlock it isn't black yet and it doesn't flicker. Unfortunately, flickering will re-start after some seconds.
This strange fenomenom doesn't happen very frequently: as I reboot the device, the problem will vanish for some days.
Googling I found some tutorials that suggest disabling hw overlays, but this didn't work with my smartphone.
I need some help, can someone solve this problem? At least, I would like to know if it is an hw or sw problem, cause in the first case I will try to sell it back under warranty.
Hi, its hard to say if its software or hardware as either could cause this. There isn't much info about your phone but I did find someone else with the same one here

Hello everyone,
since I have my motorola moto g 4g I have a bug from time to time the phone starts to do the work by itself without me touching the screen if someone has an idea or just the problem please .
thank you in advance
Bug Moto G 4G
Hello,
I have my Motorola moto G 4g since 2 days, and I have the same problem. But I think it is not the tactile screen because it is not a random problem.
I see the problem only in this application but not each time. (When I don't touch the screen):
In Gmail: New Email / back.
In Hd explorer: Search / back
In appli menu: Go to widget
In parameter menu: back
I have no idea to resolve that. Thank you for your help and idea.
and another one
Hello.
Same as you guys, 2 weeks I have now the moto g (4g) and every once in a while the screen works on its own. I have noticed though the "default" if I might say comes from the upper left part like if someone was touching it. Does it come from the same part with you?
A member from my family has the same phone and no worries (lucky bastard).
Hoping somebody finds soon a real answer to this, because I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of it....
this has been any issue on every motorola touch screen phone i've owned. i still dont have the moto g but i was worried about getting one because of this exact problem

Hello everybody,
It seems to me that this is a widespread problem in the new Moto G. Several people in Brazil are having the same problem.
One way to isolate the problem is to enable the "developer options" (search the Internet how to do it, it's easy) and then enable the "show touches" that will visually show every touch on the screen. You will see several ghosts touching the screen, in addition to real ones, there are also false touches.
My Moto G LTE had Android 4.4.4 and I couldn't find solution via software, had to send it to the Motorola service and it has not returned yet. So do not know if the problem has a nice solution.
One more with a buggy tactile screen
Hi everybody,
Finally, I'm happy because I'm not alone!
I've just bought a Moto G 4G and I have exactly the same problems than all of you (except that it's a "french" phone).
I've tried the reset, it did not work.
I send it back for fixing and the problem is still there. I supposed that as it's transient they did'nt see what was the trouble.
I'm really disappointed because the phone is quite good but too often i can't use it properly...
Any news to help me to find a way to fix it? (Motorola don't belive me and suggest that it's an apk problem)
Hey mates...the problem is possibly a kernel issue...reflash stock ROM with the respective kernel for your device and try again...
Cheers mates
Hi itouchable,
Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm not really sure that i know how to do but i will look for. I was expecting that lolipop will solve this problem. Do you think that it may be possible? I saw that generally the change of the custom rom does not eliminate this bug
