Problem Details below:
The problem is with the screen, though there is not a single scratch or anything wrong physically..
the screen misbehaves from left side of screen, only that portion.
it automatically starts touching itself... :cyclops:
had found its solution too but it which works temporary.
have to use an electric lighter on the screen to make it stop misbehaving.
This way phone works easily for almost a day without troubles.
Please let me know if any one has a permanent solution for the problem!
In case of any further query, please post in or pm me, any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks & best regards,
Mortal Eternity!
Seems to me that digitizer is broken. You'll need to replace it.

by digitilizer you mean screen? no sir the screen is not damaged form any where....
I mean glass or touchscreen. It doesn't matter if u can see the damage or not, it can be faulty either way...

You tried changing roms, kernels, etc? This can help you identify the solution.

Im running Glorious Overdose V2 but I had this issue with other roms as well for some reason my touchscreen sometimes doesnt respond. In order for it to start working again I have to lock and unlock my phone sometimes it happens frequently and other times it doesnt. Any tips on how to fix this issue?
Sorry no tips on how to fix, but I'm running stock and it happens to me too. I though it might have to do with my crappy screen protector or me somehow messing with the optical trackball, but it seems not since you're experiencing the same issue.

Nope
I tried the app and it didn't help at all and sometimes my phone also starts randomly selecting as if I touched it.
Its a hardware problem. Samsung claims its a software problem but I doubt it. It happens to me all the time and I've posted threads about it as well.
What I have found is that any sweat or liquid on your fingers that gets left behind on the screen causes it to act sporadically. All you can do is constantly clean your screen when the phone is locked.

i have this problem, but i have noticed its only after iv gotten my hands wet. i kinda figured it was 1$ screen protector.
My screen would do the same thing until i bought one of the sk screen protectors. Haven't had that problem since.
Hello,
my Backbutton activates itself. While I am watching Videos, or whatever I do it stops shining and I am out of every application I'm using. After about half a minute it's shining again and I can use it normally. It's like pushing the button multiple times. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? I tried different roms but it looks like an hardware failure to me.

Happened to me as well it is an issue sometimes with samsung but covered under warranty bring it in to sprint
Hit the thanks button if i helped
Sending it back for support is not an option for me. I imported my device from the US to Germany. The support at Samsung Germany told me that they are not responsible for AMOLED devices.
My second problem ist that my IMEI is crashed since I flashed a rom where the dev made a little mistake. So Samsung won't give me any support.
I thought about changing the display but the price for a new one is about 190 Euro. Way too much... I can assemble and disassemble the device but I think that cleaning the device will not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with the display though.
That's likely the part failing:

Verify that the one you currently have isn't simply not connected right.
Thank you. I will have a look if the part is not right connected.
Maybe I have to replace it. But in that case 25 Euro are much cheaper than 190.

This happened to me once. A day later my display completely died. I could turn on my phone, answer calls, etc the touchscreen worked, but I couldnt see anything. I had to get a new one..
I had this problem too.
I flashed a different radio, and boom!! issue resolved
I occasionally get this too. It only comes up when I'm using cm/cm based kernels though, very odd. I'm on matrix right now and it seems to Beowulf, anybody have some tips or suggestions?

I tried a different kernel and it looks like the problem is solved. I know that you should not count your chickens before they are hatched. But I really think that the kernel was the problem.
Anyway, I am just happy that my phone is working properly.
And now I am waiting for jellybean.

What kernel were you using?
It was not the Kernel!
Changing the radio solved the problem.

I don't see how the kernel would have anything to do with the backbutton. Although if it worked out then hey that's awesome. Amazing how much I have learned by reading the forums on this site.:victory:
Just clean off the the backbutton, and maybe it will stop or you have a software bug.
Hi, I have a problem with the touch screen of the Nexus: a few days ago I realized that a central band of the screen, more or less half an inch high, no longer responds to touch ... To understand, I attach a picture made with 'Position pointer ' from 'Developer options'.
I wonder if anyone has ever had experiences like this, and what do you advise me to do,namely if trying to change the screen, or maybe other most basic solutions (I've read on the web of people who recommend 'squeeze' the screen). Unfortunately the warranty has expired three months ago ...
Thanks in advance
Exact same problem with my nexus, strange:screwy:

Had the exact same problem with my old android phone, it was after a great fall... I assume that it is a hardware problem and you have to replace your touchscreen to fix it...
But its not a big deal as you dont use that part most of the time and also "auto-rotate" is always present to help you... And if still you cant touch some things then use VNC viewer...

I do not know if it can be somehow help .. The page is in Italian, use google translate .. It is said to 'squeeze' the screen, many people seem to have solved .. Do you say that is our case?
Thanks

So I have a minor touch screen which is a strip near the top of my phone that is completely unresponsive. I have seen somewhere that this may be caused by a loose connector to the motherboard where not all pond are making proper contact. Is this possible? Should I try to open the phone up and reconnect the connector? Thanks in advance.

Does the issue persist on all ROMs you flash? Does it persist in recovery? If you answered yes to those you're dealing with a hardware fault. You can try investigating yourself, but be aware it can be tricky getting this phone open and you could do more damage.
Sent from my Evita
Yes it happens in any ROM and recovery so its definitely a hardware problem. If I knew there was a possibility that could be the problem I would take the risk using a YouTube video and the correct tools.

i have seen touch issues come from screen protectors, especially the tempered glass ones, when there not made properly.
other than that, considering its happening on multiple roms, i would lean towards a hardware issue.

I want to ask you something.
Do you use your smartphone during charging.
Or play games which need to tap a specific point on screen mant times a min.
These can also cause the problem.
I too hve that problem. I went to service center and got my screen changed and now its working fine.
