Hi All,
I've got a leagoo lead 1 here. Phone works great however it has a developing problem.
When turning on the screen the phone won't unlock by swiping or pin patterns or anything that involves screen contact.
Turning the screen repeatedly on/off/on/off etc gets the screen to respond. once the phone is unlocked everything works fine as it should be. I'd reckon it is not a screen failure then because it is very repsonsive once unlocked.
The problem only occurs when the screen needs to be unlocked. Tried the stock launcher as I suspected nova launcher to be the culprit but the problem remained.
Anyone usefull tips/tricks?
btw. Restart and batterypull didn't resolve the matter

I got nexus s (i9020T) recently and found the touch screen unresponsive sometimes. I've already tried several launchers(adw, lancherpro, go launcher ex), and it seems not launcher's problem. I've also tried to flash different ROMs, including CM-7rc2 and stock 2.3.3, and the problem remains.
Later I tried to bind Multi-touch Visualizer 2 to long pressing home button, and found the when screen is unresponsive, it can still detect press near edges very well, but not the center. While I press at the edge and drap across the center, it keeps tracking my finger correctly. In addition, Locking and unlocking the screen can solve the problem temporally.
I'm confused by the strange behavior, anyone experienced similar issue?
more info from test,
I connect my phone with adb, and tried to "cat /dev/input/event0"
The behavior confirms what I see in Multitouch Visualizor 2: the when the center of screen is unresponsive, nothing can be read from the device node.
I read the mxt224 touch screen controller doc, and it seems the chip features self-calibration, and thus I believe the "lock & unlock" will trigger the chip to tune it self in some way. I don't know kernel very well, so I cannot find the source code Any help please?
FYI. we are not alone.

I got this problem too whenever my phone is in my pocket facing inward.
I have tried to open the calculator to see which part of the screen having problem. Mine is usually the "8" and "5" location unresponsive if my phone stayed in my pocket facing inwards for a certain period of time.
The problem will goes off after couple of mins when i can feel that the phone is cooler than my body temp.
I knew this happens to the Dell Streak as well.
This issue make absolutely no sense to me, and only started yesterday.
First, I am stock, unrooted, no mods, no crazy sideloaded apps, just a good old Nexus 5.
When I go to wake the phone, I have noticed that the lock screen is 100% unresponsive. I cannot enter a pattern lock. I then switched to a PIN lock, thinking maybe there was an issue with the pattern. Again, unresponsive screen. So I took my screen lock off completely, thinking there is maybe an issue with the lock screen in general. Again, even with no lock screen, I cannot swipe screens, open apps, nothing. This also includes the soft keys at the bottom.
I decide to factory reset my phone. I update only my Google apps, and again notice the same issue. The screen is totally unresponsive, but then 2 white lines will flash at the top, and the screen will work.
Once those white lines flash, the screen is completely responsive like normal, there are no other issues until the phone goes to sleep again. Sometimes the little lines flash 2 seconds after waking up, sometimes 30 seconds, sometimes I have to hard reset the phone.
I also am linking to a YouTube video that I recorded of the issue in case I am not making sense.
So can anyone explain this to me? What could cause this issue on a phone that has never been rooted or flashed or anything?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Weird. Issue. Maybe you should stick everything from your sd to your pc.
And flash a factory image from fresh install from here - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - if you're lucky the drivers maybe corrupt and not the hardware
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
Could also be a loose connection. Maybe the flex cable to from your screen wiggled its way out a bit. I've never seen that before on any phone. I'd back everything up and flash a factory image. If the issue persists, contact Google and see if you can RMA the device.
Hello All,
Basically what happened is this:
I got phone D6603 with "Vodafone protect" lock on and owner gave me a possible code for phone. I replaced screen and then found that lock requires only numeric pin, not what I was given. So, he then reset pin and deactivated lock, but I still had it on no matter what. So, I tried to flash new firmware into it for same phone and got it done, but now phone screen stays black all the time with only backlight on. Phone seemingly loads something (probably the new phone welcome screen after flash), which I cannot see, but when connected to computer from fastboot or something then all system files are visible.
When I boot phone from off position, it boots to a point where I can use side button to switch on and off the screen but touch does not respond because nowhere it reacts to touch or maybe I do not know where and what to click on screen.
What could be the likely solution? I do not think that phone is bricked, but something is wrong with system as it does not light up the screen properly. I tired flashing 2 times successfully with same result.
Any advice would e appreciated.
Hi, can this thread be deleted because I am getting phone swapped and thread no longer relevant? Thanks.
A week ago I rooted my note 20 ultra. Everything works really well. The only problem I have is the random restarts. Sometimes when I use my fingerprint unlock the phone just crashes into the boot screen and then boots back up to the home screen. Whenever the prompt comes back up to put in my pin, I put it in and the phone crashes again. This happens a few more times until it stops occurring and I am able to log in perfectly. I believe that the issue could be occurring due to a lack of memory, but I would like some second opinions. What do you guys think?
Couldn't find any similar topic except in forums for s10+, OnePlus and other phones. Sorry if I missed anything.
As in the subject, after unlocking, approximately half of the screen flickers black and goes to the home screen. It takes less than a second. Always top half, bottom half shows home screen right after unlock. This does not happen on each unlock, but also, there is no pattern - it can be after 5 or 30 unlocks, it can be after 5 minutes or 10 hours of not using the phone. It started mid-July and not only annoys but is starting to worry me. Solutions from other threads didn't help. For example:
Fingerprint sensor problem - I don't use it, I have pin lock.
Samsung Pay issue - I don't even have it available, so, don't use it either .
Animations - setting them off did not help.
I cannot guess anymore what would be the cause, if it's some app which wakes up after unlock or what else. The only thing I've changed (except updating apps) was adding another sim card, but my tiny little brain cannot find connection. I didn't test removing it as I need this sim active and don't have backup phone right now. Also, I would really like to avoid resetting the phone...
Did you experienced anything similar?
Thanks a lot for any help or suggestion.
are using Samsung or some third party launcher. Did you wipe cache? Latest firmware updates?
Yes, I did both, firmware update and cache wiping, no change. I'm using stock launcher.
did you try in safe mode to exclude some app causing it
Yes, I tried safe mode without success.
i would take it to Samsung repair centre if pos
Thanks for trying and all the steps. There's nothing like that where I live, neither any advisory place except for hotline. I can drop it at their service but will need to wipe it down before, which I keep as the last resort. I'll keep waiting for another firmware update and if nothing changes then I'm willing to do the hard reset. I just hope it's not a symptom of some virus - I'm trying to be most careful, scanning device periodically, didn't root, so I naively count on being safe...
i don't think it's virus. fingers crossed it's just software issue
hi again, just to let you know, I think I know what was causing this flickering and now I feel silly . Home screen rotation. I had this option turned on, and it's possible that sometimes, when I put my phone on the table, home screen rotates to horizontal position. Of course it locks after few seconds. I've noticed it completely accidentally, because one time, when screen flickered black there was slow-motion rotation animation in the background (which I've never seen before). That's why flickering was completely random to me, not connected to any type of notification whatsoever. Well, it's not, it has a pattern . I've checked it plenty of times and each time I lock my phone with home screen in horizontal view, but unlock in vertical, half of the screen is flickering black. That's it, at least I believe it must be this, because it happens each time and never when I lock my screen in vertical position.
Once again thanks for all the help!
