So every once in awhile my phone will start scrolling in-app. At first I thought maybe it was just oils on the skin, like some hp laptop touchpads, but after a while I disproved this. Now the real weird thing is that if I shut the screen off the come back to the app it stops. I'm thinking maybe something to do with sudden changes in ambient temps. Any thoughts?

Same here has done it since day one not very often but out of the blue screen acts up. I have watched it move icons on homescreens around before. But turning screen off then on stops it

Sometimes happens on mine, but only when using a high amperage charger or there are water drops on the screen (from rain).

Add me to the list. Mine has done it a handfull of times but turning the screen off then right back on has always corrected it.
Very odd.

Happens to me a lot when it's freezing outside. On/Off cycle fixes it
So my question now being, if we can assume its temp related, could this be solved by a patch to adjust based on ambient temps, or is that in the proprietary driver for the touch panel?

I notice it happens to me if I get the screen wet at all.
As stated, turning the screen off/on fixes it.

I have problem with yellow spots but with backlite no, sorry. What happens if you set brightness to max or min?
I think that it might be a loose ribbon cable.
And I used to have yellow spots, but I left the phone off for a day and the issue was fixed.
I turned of phone for a while and put down backlight OK now

I know the mod is probably going to lock this thread, but I just wanna tell you that today I went a local AT&T store and took a good look at their Galaxy notes there...they all got obvious burn in on the screen.. they were all the same, the charging symbol. I guess they left them at full brightness for too long..I guess what I'm trying to say here is that no amoled is better than the other and we don't need to turn to Notes when their screens just have higher resolution but still suffer from the same problem.
Pretty cool story huh?

Yeah Samsung was saying that the pentile screen would last longer but in this case will still eventually have a burn-in problem.

It's called being careful with your phone....
Burn in usually occurs from leaving a still image on a screen for a very long time. So unless a user were to leave the screen on constantly, and leave the phone still for a long time repeatedly, there shouldn't be a worry for burn in. I've always used full brightness on every smartphone I've had and none of them have had any sign of it.

In case you forgot, the notification bar with the time, battery, and signal icon is almost always on the screen. Very few applications an games are full screen so those icons will burn in at some point as they are a "still image on a screen for a very long time".

Except MIUI. The statusbar inverts colors when you pull it down.
And yes, this belongs in the off topic thread.

It took me 8 months of use to get clear burn-ins to my Galaxy Nexus.
If I hold my nexus landscape, on the other end theres a bluis dark shade exactly the area where my status bar is on portrait.
On the other end there are the three soft navbar buttons, clearly visible and burnt in to my screen. The status bar is way worse though.
I almost always keep auto-brightness, guess I'll start having more from now on to avoid further damage...

Keep in mind that the display phones are on from open to close. Also that's even if they turn them off after closing. So I wouldn't be surprised if the screen has burned in.
Leave your TV on for 12 hours straight 7 days a week and I'm sure it will start to burn in.

Sometimes my screen randomly acts like it wants to rotate and will black out for a second, do the rotation animation, then be normal. And its really random sometimes, like on home screen, app drawer, even when its laying flat. Its only about once or twice a day, so not a real big issue. Could jb fix this you think? It just started about a week ago, had the phone for 2 months.

Have you tried calibrating it?
Recalibrate the screen if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold HTC One X.
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
Tap Display (or Display & gestures) and then tap G-Sensor calibration.
Place HTC One X on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
After the recalibration process, tap OK.
Just calibrate it,will solve your problem.
Press thanks if i helped you!

I've noticed a few times when my phone vibrates and its pretty much flat the screen sometimes rotates. Not sure if this is a normal thing happening with most phones, I'm assuming the vibrate motor is confusing the accelerometer somewhat.
You can see a video of it happening below. The phone is flat against the table. Vibrate is set at 63 which I believe is close to stock. It happens on 50 too.
youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iuo7zsbCj8&feature=youtu.be
Could someone else try this? The app is free. Just switch to auto and set it to something like 0.999 and repeat. Obviously make sure auto rotate is enabled

I've always found the auto rotate on android a bit over sensitive, just trying to figure out if this might be a fault with mine.
Its done it to me before when my phone was laying on my bed charging

Yes, I used the test your android app and vibrate on short bursts. I think camera lens is tilting the phone. It was on a flat desk.
Ahh sorry was trying to quote the other guy on my phone but screwed up. Thanks for letting me know. my phones in a case and it does the same.

When vibrating?
Yeah when it vibrated while laying flat the screen would auto rotate in no particular direction.

Old thread, but it happens to me when I'm playing some games. Vibrates and the screen flicks upside down, then back to proper orientation. I'm holding it in my hands and it's not totally flat either, so it's really getting thrown out of whack for a moment, then re-orients. Doesn't happen in every game, doesn't happen for every vibration, but it happens enough to be annoying.
Bumping this thread. I have been facing this issue for a while now. Did anybody find a fix for this??

This still happens to me every day.
It happens for me too
Anyone knows a fix for this? It seems to be a hardware issue. Did you guys send to technical repair?
Well this is weird. This morning I woke up and grabbed my G from next to my bed and the touch screen is being all slow and not responsive. I can't swipe left or right without doing it very slowly and deliberately. Same thing with bringing down my notification drawer.
Its making the phone near unusable. Even to type this all out I couldn't use Google keyboards swipe typing feature and have to hit each individual button really slowly.
Anyone know what could be causing this?

Install this and see how it behaves https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=multitouchpro.tests&hl=es
Thanks for that useful little app. It registers all my fingers fine, and its good if I swipe slowly, but if I swipe too fast it loses my finger for a second, which I guess is why I have a problem swiping.
I have no idea what's causing this still though since its been working fine for the past month.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Do you by any chance have the charger plugged in while doing this? (My nexus 4 screen acts that way when I connect the wall charger)
Have you tried resetting it?
It's not plugged in, I did try rebooting it but not a reset. I'll have to give that a try now.

Same here, part of the screen is unresponsive, except if you move your finger very slowly.
I have the problem described by OP if I am charging with a high ampere charger. It is solved by me by turning the screen off and on after unplugging it.
I forgot to update. The problem just kind of fixed itself over a few hours. I took it to work and it was still having the problem, and then I took it out of my pocket a few hours into my shift to check a text and it was working like usual.
I dunno. Magic I guess.

Guy who did a waterproof test on the Moto G encountered the same issues you described. As the phone dried out the screen slowly came back to life and became responsive again.
I suspect that you have moisture egress into the device, it could cause a strange capacitance differential affecting the digitiser, or even just a short.
Have you used the phone, in shower room, in pocket while exercising. In rain. Taken it from cold outdoors, into very warm indoors. All these things can cause moisture to condense inside the device.
If it happens, the symptoms will reduce as the phone completely dries out...

Hello, I am also facing same issue only when my Moto G is connected to Wall Charger [Be it switched Off or On]. Can any body please help me resolve this issue? Or Do we actually have a solution for the problem stated?

this behavior happens to me with stock keyboard in whatsapp, after star typing and pressing the "a" key in loop, press the home button and start multitouch test (YAMT) and the screen area that is not responding is where the "a" key is located....
after a while the screen start to response in a normal way...
i tried swift keyboard and guess what.... the same issue again....
this is weird...
note: try to remove the grip shell
Solved,
Okay so I had this issue just now and i got worried, but there is nothing to worry about. The problem is in the charger, use a different charger
my 2 have done this a couple times and I think they were charging at the time. I unplugged the charger but no change. Then I removed the silicone cover I put on and it immediately worked fine both times I did it. I did not turn phone off or reboot. It did not start this trick until I put the covers on. Covers barely touch the screen on the sides. When I replaced cover it still worked until the next time it became unhappy with the cover. Anybody else...................
Update-just checked my other phone. I removed cover w/o unplugging and it did not restore it. Unplugged charger and it was fine. Almost seems like both are contributing to it. more research necessary..........
Maybe the phone just wants to be fondled???????
