I have had my xoom for about 6 months now and this problem has been with it since i got it...
Sometimes when i push the power button on the back to wake it up and start touching the screen it doesn't respond or barely responds, i have made sure my thumb is not touching the edge or anything... to make it work i have to hit the power button to make it sleep and hit it again to wake it up and it will work fine.
This problem is pre and post ics.
I'm not really sure what to do or if it is even software or hardware.
do any of you guys know what is causing this?

yes i saw this thread in my research but my concern is why would it work after i put it to sleep and wake it back up upon unresponsiveness?
If this was the case wouldn't putting it to sleep and waking it back up be useless, and i dont want to do anything that will void my warranty.

Sometimes when it is busy redrawing a screen (intensive) it is temporarily unresponsive until it's done. How long is it unresponsive to touch? If it will not respond for more than 30 seconds (I just pulled that out of my head, btw) I would think there's another issue.
It does it until i put it to sleep and wake it back up

Reading this over again, I'll bet it's a hardware issue, because 1) it's been a problem since day one, and 2) you've obviously updated your software, so any glitch caused by a bad install or an app incompatibility can probably be ruled out. Are you still under warranty? this sounds like something that could be/should be fixed.

Yeah i was just really hoping i wouldnt have to send it in under warranty because i know they will just send me a new refurb and be done with it ... then i will have to get a new screen protector and recustomize and be without a xoom for a couple of weeks

My Xoom did things like this, yet my foam fix made it end completely. Left the foam in there until I sent it in for the 4G upgrade.
I also had a problem with my XOOM screen. It was a headache for me and found a solutions today.
You should check MOTOASK (under XOOM). It was a new post and really helpful.
Hello guys,
My SGR screen is suddenly showing different color pixels near the bottom and egdes of the screen.. It doesn even appear on the screenshot.. I was on Lidroid ROM, then I reset and flashed Titanium v2.1 and finally now I'm on the stock ROM. Yet its still there.
It is NOT dead pixels. Its as if the LCD screen is corrupted and there is even random blackout from around the same time this pixel discoloration happened.
I think its a LCD issue but wanted to know if u guys think its a software issue by any chance? Else i have to take it to SSC again - 3rd time!
TIA
Same issue on all ROMs, Screen shots are perfect...
definitely HW issue...

Damn I got a totally new issue now. As soon as I connect my headphones to my SGR, there is a blackout. It doesnt switch off coz the touch key light remains on. I have to re-insert the battery to switch it on.
I had the motherboard replaced 10 days back coz of random shutdowns. Since I got it, I noticed that I could not change songs in any of the music players using the headset controls. I just ignored it. And now as soon as I connect the headphones it just goes black!..
Taking it to the SSC right away..

They took an hour to check it and finally decided that the motherboard has to be replaced again. Yes AGAIN!. No wonder there is a shortage of Galaxy R motherboards elsewhere. This will be my third - and hopefully the last one for years.

Might be a problem with the internal wirings or that a part is being overloaded (most probably connects to the screen)

bad luck... probably you would have to take it to SSC....
Even my device had a spot little brighter... I was thinking I should not claim... becoz the service people here are not that well trained....
But, eventually... my soft keys stopped working and.. I was bound to go there... and they will replace it in 4 days...(as they are saying now).... I hope the best.... Jai Shri Ram....

Is your phone in warranty?
can you give us some basic information? such like rom & kernel version, wether you rooted and ade using cputuningtools or something like that.
if you are under stock rom(original samsung & all further updates over kies) and u have done nothing unnormally so far i would recommend use the warranty too; )

i have not rooted or changed the stock rom
i only factory reset it when the problem started
i just discovered that when i plug in the charger the touch screen works normally but does not respond to touch when not charging

I had the same issue. I got my touch panel replaced by the Samsung guys. That's why I was asking whether your phone is under warranty or not.

Here we go, this proves this has nothing to with CM9, this guy is on stock.
Many people are blaming CM9 for this and claiming it caused the problem.
It's a hardware defect.

Agree. :good:
I'll wait for a few weeks or till the phone is usable for the kernel 3.0. :fingers-crossed:
If not then no other option but create a Rs.5000 hole in my pocket. :crying:
Same case with me... Bought the i9003 March 2011.
I'm on DDKP3 and around the same time as the OP, my touchscreen started to act strange... responsive only when charger is plugged in. Tried factory reset, but problem came back after some hours!
If this is a product-wide issue, then I guess sammy should replace it for free, even if it's out of warranty... too busy to go to the nearest service cenrter, will check later.
Till then, please keep me updated how it goes for you.
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------
Just wondering, if a reflash of DDKP3 via ODIN or any custom ROM would solve the issue... please suggest.
I guess the sensitivity settings (or something like that) has changed without you knowing. Don't know if it is the same as s2 but in s2, sensitivity of the phone not plugged in the charger and plugged in has different settings. So maybe the settings for it in your case (unplugged) has changed but not on the plugged in settings. It's all in the kernel btw.

Maybe asking a kernel dev if the values changed or what not. If i'm correct then it's a software problem, if not then maybe a hardware problem.

Same problem!!!
It happened last week when my phone surprisingly started showing this problem. After unlocking the phone the screen becomes unresponsive. In my case it is just 1-2 secs after unlocking the phone.
It lasted for a day, I tried flashing different ROMs. I was on XXKPE when it happened. And than suddenly my phone started working fine until yesterday when this thing again happened and the problem still persists (I am still on KPE). I dont know what to do.
I think it can be some software problem as the screen and touch keys do work for some time before becoming unresponsive and even the logcat shows no problems for the touch screen. I am going to try more ROMs now. Will keep you posted.
Possible solution !!!
Friends, I think I found a possible solution for this issue. Though it seems to work for me... I have to keep the phone under observation for some days until I can say it's the final solution.
A similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695149
The possible cause for the touch screen going unresponsive seems not to be a hardware/software glitch; but environmental issue! And it doesn't depend on the ROM your'e running.
I noticed that most people from India having this issue say that this problem started in June, when the rainy season starts and it gets humid and damp.
In fact my phone showed this issue when it had rained for the last 2 days and it was very damp and humid inside the house.
You can do the following:
1. Take out the back cover, memory card, SIM and battery.
2. Place the backside of the phone near a hot air source (on top of a running CRT TV/monitor, hairdryer, laptop fan vent) for sometime.
3. Reassemble and check if the problem has gone away.
Do not panic if the handset gets a bit hot in the process!
In my case, I left it on the top grille of a CRT TV for a day which ran for 8hrs.
Do let me know if this works for you...

I guess the climate is the only reason. I used his method to heat up my phone a little bit by charging it enough. Than it started working fine. No problems since then. Lets see.

But changing the panel solves the issue..
The kernel won't reset itself if you change the screen.

Touch Screen non-responsive Problem
I had the same issue and when i dismantlement the thing, came across a small batter. could this be the reason? Cos while charging this battery is not used but when running with battery, this small dry typed batter can be in use.
Found Any Solution
Could any 1 find a solution for this matter?
If so pls. update. Mine is still there.
I can't get rid of it.
Lost touchscreen handling in upper and lower part of my screen!!!Pls Help!
I have a rooted device with xsba's custom rom (4.0.4). The problem started before this ROM. I am pretty sure that this is no rom issue. I have flashed the phone several times with numerus roms. Problem persists.
I already have changed touchscreen once because of a serius fall (broke) approximately 6 months ago.
These are all the facts. Before xsba's rom i used thiaiz o3d. (2.3.7). The problem started one day that i hadn't charged the phone up. When the battery fell under 5 % the phone went berserk. (Numerus button presses all the time)
I couldn't even reboot. When I finally turned it off by removing battery and restarted the phone the upper field of touchscreen of the phone never worked again.
Yesterday i failed to charge again.ASfter finally restarting the same issue appeared in the lower field of touchscreen. Please advice!!!!!!!!
Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the touchscreen?

Now , you need to go to developer options in the settings and enable show touches option. Then you touch and slide to the parts that don't work . If you see the line going there , then it's a problem with your ROM. If it's not , then you possibly have a broken touchscreen. Check the contact of the touchscreen ribbon and see if it's tightly sitting on the slot , press it down and try again.
If it's not working , you have no choice but to replace the touchscreen. You can buy one off eBay for 19 dollars and free shipping. It's made in China but it works well without problems for the past 6 months with my device.
Hope I helped.
Cheers!

They must be replaced in combo.Even if there's a way to separate them,it might not be the best idea.

I registered just to respond to you and let you know that replacing the screen did not work for me.
I bough this phone online a few months back but gave up on it because it was literally unusable due to ghost touch inputs. I have since installed LineageOS and completely replaced the old screen and STILL get ghost inputs along the whole right edge of the phone.
Some people say it's due to an issue with the grounding of the screen. I've tried many solutions and the touches still seem random.
