Every now and then, my Surface will start glitching and it's becoming more frequent. The screen will become unusable as invisible input causes the screen to zoom in and out, or if the keyboard is up, random things will be typed. I only started seeing this after I jailbroke. Has anyone else ran into this problem whether jailbroken or not?
I haven't yet. I did do a reboot recently to address some issues I was having (files not copying/deleting correctly) about a week after applying the first-gen jailbreak, but I've had no problems since. I'm now using the all-in-one tool.
Mine was jailbroken and I have not faced an issue like this.
Try cleaning your screen to see if that's the issue ?
@LastBattle: it's definitely not the screen. I always keep it clean and oils from the finger should not normally cause input to be registered.
@GoodDayToDie: I'm using the original jailbreak netham45 wrote. I'll update to the all in one tool and see if that changes anything.
I did a complete factory reset, and it still occurs...time to go to the MSFT store

hi,
I'm not sure when exactly this issue started on my phone, but I updated my touch pro with the chevron updater and have quite a lot of apps installed.
after several seconds workling with the phone, the touch screen stops working while the phone acts perfectly normal. I can use the keyboard and tilt the phone but I cannot use the touch screen anymore.
By turning the phone off and on it works again.
has anyone experienced a behavior like this?
I noticed my touchscreen becoming unresponsive when loading particular websites. Even had it freeze once (only time it ever froze on me)
What were you doing when it does this? Do you have the multitasking reg edit on?

I know this is an old thread but this is the only reference to the exact same problem that I'm having. I'm having difficulty putting this down to hardware as the screen becomes responsive again when locking and unlocking which might point to software.
It could be a hardware issue that is resolved by locking then unlocking the phone but I don't know enough about the construction of it to have an opinion.
The advice I've had from htc is to wipe the 'phone and start again but I don't expect that to solve it (especially as their call handling system refers to Window Mobile 7 - the second large commercial organisation I've seen that on in recent weeks without looking too hard!).
Has anyone else seen this since the original post or @exilkubaner was a solution found to your problem?
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I hard reset my HTC 7 Pro, but no success, my screen doesn't respond until i lock/unlock the device.
So, any one have resolved this issue since the first post ?
Regards
Had the same issue, but I didn't have any roms installed.
Brought it in to Sprint and they found that I had a fried ribbon connecting the screen to the phone. Replaced under warranty.
It happened again, I determined that it was caused by my click in belt clip/holster. When I pull the phone out, it pulls the screen away from the keyboard a bit.
^Wow. Nice find. I'll have to be careful with mine now as I could easily run in to the same problem pulling it out like that.
this may not explain all screen issues, but it may explain the issue of the screen freezing and also the issue of it reacting on its own. i believe that this screen is highly sensitive. my current theory is that dirtiness and dullness cause screen lag. this can result in freezing, but i think more commonly what happens is for it to cause a delay in the screens responsiveness. so lets say you touch the screen and it doesnt respond right away. so you tap the screen again, and it does respond. but maybe its responding to the first time you touched it, and then you exit out of that screen or do something else, and forget that you touched the screen again. but the phone remembers and responds, and the phone does something odd, seemingly on its own. now remember this is just a theory of mine, and i am no expert on touchscreens. it just occurred to me that this could be a possibility, because i cleaned my screen really good and the screen seemed a good bit more responsive than usual. feel free to share your thoughts and opinions on this.
There are times when a greasy/wet touchscreen will misbehave, but I think the majority of our touchscreen problems stem from a buggy driver which tends to crash during low memory conditions.
yea i definitely think its just a buggy phone. wish it was as simple as keeping it clean, but i have these problems even when clean sometimes. its not a deal breaker though, at least not for me.
i just wish we could have custom lock screens or AOSP lock screen that wouldn't break the damn auto-rotate.
i know this is a different subject than my op, but i have a question. i converted several apps to system apps. two browsers, opera mobile and dolphin mini, dolphin to replace my stock browser and opera for desktop browsing, as well as a volume control app and a few others. i use an app called optimize android toolbox to clean my cache. before converting these apps to system, they all stored a cache. now, opera and dolphin dont. the volume control app still does though. i dont think its a problem, it just perplexes me. any possible explanation for this?

Ayoteddy got us the aosp lock and the puzzle lock, using it right now no prob.
sent from my....WAIT THIS ISNT MY PHONE?
When it's cold mine never responds.
I put a screen protector on my phone and I haven't had any touch screen problems since. Might just be a coincidence, though.
before i got this phone, i read a review that said only one android phone has a more functional lock screen than the sidekick. of course, that statement is based on phones with stock roms, but still, thats definitely saying something. i like the stock lockscreen a lot. i like the media room lockscreen widget. tried other music players with lockscreen widgets, but they take up the whole screen. then you have to exit the widget to unlock the screen. plus you can slide down to unlock or slide up to launch an app. thats pretty tight.
I'm not saying the stock lock screen isn't clever. It's really is quite cool... when it works.
So often I've had to struggle to unlock the phone because the screen was lagging badly. Or the home screen has come up for a second before the lock screen. This is especially a problem when text messages come in, and often result in my phone doing crazy crap in my pocket. Next time I pull it out I discover that it's gone to CNN, changed my brightness, turned on bluetooth, etc.
Not sure I've seen this before. I'm fully stock with an unlocked bootloader and when writing an email or a post of any lenght, my keyboard begins to slow down to a crawl and is almost unresponsive at times. Anyone has similar experience or how can I solve this problem.
I've had this problem for a while now, completely stock through all of the point releases. Restarting helps for a little bit. Now I swipe everything I type to cut down on the lag. I rarely turn my phone sideways to type anymore. That's one way to fix it, lol.
Only seen this happening since the last Google Keyboard update, myself. A reboot fixed it up though.
I bought an XT1540 as a birthday gift for my wife and she is having an issue with apps and other things opening when she scrolls. It may be on Facebook, in Hay Day or whatever. I ran through several apps on it and did some of the same things she was doing. I didn't have any problems at all. So maybe it is a matter of how a person scrolls or touches when navigating. However, I now have a very unhappy wife who is ready to throw the phone across the room half the time because it keeps opening stuff when she scrolls. And convincing her that it is her and not the phone is not an option. Tried that and she went to work angry at me.
Any suggestions? Does the Touch and Hold Delay help? She is on stock 6.0 and her phone is an XT-1540.
One final thought, is it possible that residue on her fingers from makeup, hair gel or some other product she uses may be affecting how sensitive her touch is? Just a thought because that is the only thing I can come up with that is different between her and I.
There have been issues with newer touchscreen firmware on some devices (including mine). With the 6.0.1 firmware, my device gets super sensitive and frequently registers swipes as a tap then swipe. The solution is to roll back the touchscreen firmware to the Lollipop version, though you need root access to do so. If her device is rooted and running a custom recovery, you can try flashing the "L_Mretus_synaptics.zip" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66002023&postcount=1262
I'm having this problem with my NEW mi note 10 phone.
I notice it when first when I'm typing on my keyboard as usual speed.
It kept doing this phantom swipe across two finger taps.
I posted some videos to illustrate my problem.
Is it a software or hardware problem? (This problem is intermittent as well so it's really hard to pinpoint it)

Anyone else having this problem except for me?
When this problem comes, I can't even properly play a game.
reformat factory reset - fail
reinstall latest miui global 11.1. 2 - fail
optimise animation all off - fail
gboard - fail
xiaomi keyboard - fail
SwiftKey - fail
turn off Miui optimization - fail
restart phone - fail
clear ram, clear cache, clear recent, speed boast - fail
CPU slowing down due to background processes?
Touch digitalizer got problem? (I tried shaking it gently, poking it but it does not affect anything at all)
As I said, this problem is intermittent. There are times when I can use it without any problems at all.
It's really weird.
It can be totally fine one moment and then it acts up again.
There's another thread about this. Most of us face this issue on all variants of the phone (Pro/Lite). This started with April or May update where Mi added a edge sensitivity control setting.
What happens here is that touch sensitivity suddenly reduces and it will be hard to do anything that involves rapid touch such as typing.
Lock and unlocking the screen or restarting the phone will fix this temporarily. There's no permanent solution.
Also when this issue occurs again, go to the settings and turn on Game Turbo for an app such as WhatsApp, without and then try typing on WhatsApp, you will see that the issue is gone.
We all are waiting for Mi to fix this. But I would advice to return the phone if it's under warranty though this is a software issue
