Help : Touchscreen Un-Responsive Bug?

Hi there XDA.. I recently have been experiencing problems with my Nexus S. The first one has been the G-Mail.... say I get a new Email.. ill pull down my status bar... click on the email, then it'll switch to gmail app. I can view everything in the app... and the four bottom keys (home, back, menu, search) all do their respective jobs.. but there's absolutely no feedback from the screen when you press on Something. Thank God its only that app. But I also experienced a problem when trying to install 3rd party apps. Everything goes throughfine..then it takes me to the screen where it warns you about what permissions you're giving the app.... and whether you want to install it or cancel. Well... everything on this screen is responsive except for the Instal button. I've tried to factory reset twice... and well.... the same problems keep coming up. I was woundering if anyone else had these problems ? Of if there was a solution? Thanks so much!

Are you using the stock kernel?? the Netarchy kernel have a touch tweak, you can use it and check if it fix the problem...

I haven't touched the kernel .... but what would I use to flash a new kernel? Definitely not odin ... lol plus I'm on 2.3.4 soo.. gingerbreak isn't working so no root for me

Wow actually I'm using screen filter... do you think that's the problem? !?!?!?!?!?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

That's exactly what it is. I'm using that too that's why I know. Lol. I had the same problem I restored to factory also but then I eventually figured it out that screen filter is the culprit. Haha.

Screen filter is actually the culprit. It even mentions this issue on its info in the market. Though it also says that with the latest version of gmail the issue is gone.

Unresponsive screen

Anyone experiences randomly unresponsive touch screen after wake the device or try to pick up a call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Are you rooted? Custom ROM? How many background apps were running at time? I have had it go blank on me but it is always looking at Facebook pics....needs update....anyway..but never unresponsive. On that note let me update my sig so everyone will know my specs.

I have heard of people complaining about this when there phone is plugged in but not otherwise maybe a bug? Or defective

Mine is stock but rooted. Not a big deal, can get it back to work by turning off the screen and turn it back on

Aokp home button acting up

So today my sensation running aokp started acting weird, basically whenever I touched the home button it makes a click noise and the screen goes white then back to the app I was in. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot it.
Does anyone know why this would happen and how I could prevent it?
Thanks in advance for your help

looks like a software bug.
if u use a custom rom try reflashing after backing up ur data.
a nandroid is also recommended.
if u are on stock... send it to htc

Its a app that's making it do that....do you have any apps that put ads in your notifaction bar or any crappy looking apps with no put in design? Then uninstall them.

Found the problem... It was an ad app ' top offers ' which was putting ads in notification bar.. It didn't know that was the thing causing the screen to turn on.. But now its fixed.
Installed the 'air push detector' and found the ad apps n uninstalled them hopefully it won't happen again.

Same issue on my end. I'm stock. I use LN, but it happens when I'm not running the app. Has anyone uninstalled to test? It would be last resort for me due to all of the notes I have.

I contacted samsung and was told the normal wipe system (factory rest ) I have done that before and when asked with the same problem.
The next fix by them was to take it to a walk in centre, my tablet was sent to Samsung in about feb.
So that wont help.
I have seen sum1 say the fault only happens with auto brightness on.
So I will try with this off unless sum1 can say if the fault us still there either way.
