Had the phone since August, and never really had any of the touchscreen issues that people typically post about. Over the months I flashed many roms, always successfully, however at some point I noticed that my capacitive buttons stopped responding at all. I always had the nav bar enabled so it was fine, however recently I've wanted to get them working again. I followed the guide to restore to 100% stock CM12S, thinking that may fix it, however it did not. I haven't found anyone else that has this issue...is it likely hardware related and an RMA is my only hope of fixing this?

I'm having an issue where random keys stop working on the keyboard. The keys are never the same and it happens completely at random. This has happened to 2 different Inspires after rooting and flashing CoreDroid. Initially I thought it was something wrong with the keyboard so I changed keyboards and the problem persisted. I then switched to ARHD after doing a super wipe on one of the Inspires and the problem arose again.
An example of the issue. When I want to hit the 'h' on the keyboard it won't respond. I'll be able to hit every key around it but not the h. It's never consistent in which key it is and it doesn't seem to have a patter of appearance.
Is anyone else experiencing the issue or is it just me? Any ideas on what could possibly fix it? I'm likely going to flash an ICS ROM to see if the problem pops up in an ICS ROM as well.
I've never seen anyone complain of this before. Since you say it's different keys every time, then it's definitely not a digitizer issue. It has to be software, but since you say you've had the same problem on 2 different phones, with different ROMs and different keyboard software, I'm stumped.
I've seen this issue around the threads before and I've had this issue several tines before (mainly only with ics roms). Mine always corrects itself once I tilt the phone to landscape and then rotate it back up. No as far as why its doing it? I dunno
"I love my Springfield XD40"
ya force it to rotate screen, or power screen off and back on will correct it. its a bug that has always floated around with non-sense roms. minor really
I've only noticed this after I installed an ICS rom on the phone. I get a similar issue while typing that a single key will be unresponsive. It seems to take about 2 seconds for it to work again.
The time doesn't appear to be affected if you keep tapping the screen, or just wait.
Well, if nothing else it's at least good to have confirmation than I'm not nuts
is the problem occuring only with this particular ROM?
Yes, I have seen this on a number of GB ROMs.
Found some threads mentioning digitizers causing issues with this on other models of hardware, but doesn't sound the same.
Been holding off on rooting my Note that I've had for a week to wait for stock recovery, kernel, etc. to be out in case I had issues.
Rooted no issues, went back to stock just to make sure I could, then rerooted.
Not sure if coincidence, but now if I let the screen time out or manually do it, then wake it up.. my touch screen stops working. I can hard reset and it works until I do the same thing, then stops working again.
Anyone else seen this?

i was not rooted so I returned mine. sounds like some people have been able to get it working again
New here but hoping someone can help. My TF300 touchscreen has just become totally unresponsive. The keyboard still has full functionality and nothing else seems to be wrong. This happened suddenly, simply turned it on this morning and nothing. I've tried with and without in the keyboard dock. A system reset. My next thing to try was going to be a new rom to see if that fixes it. I just wanted to ask if this would likely help or maybe I've got a hardware failure.
So I got a refurb tf300 from Woot the other day and it looked and worked like brand new until the touch screen stopped working completely. Left it be for a couple hours and came back to find it working. This happens a couple times a day, it stops and then it starts working. I can occasionally get it to start working again if I flip the device around any which way but there is most certainly an issue with the hardware. I have a feeling it might be some sort of loose touch screen issue.
To make matters worse, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to run CleanRom (great ROM BTW!)
I've heard Asus's RMA service is a nightmare (especially with it unlocked) so I wanted to check in and see if anyone has heard of this or has any ideas of how to fix it. Since it's clearly hardware related I can probably have them fix it but don't want to be out a tablet for six weeks.
Have already tried a handful of cold boots per recommendations online.

A couple weeks into using my new nexus 5, half the touch screen stopped working (if you really had to, you could still press buttons by pressing the thing really hard). It seemed like it was a hardware issue so I unrooted and wiped the device with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
with the intent of returning it. Part of this process involved TWRP (where there are touch controls), and the problem occurred even there. (to me, that seemed to confirm it must be a hardware issue).
Now after everything is factory-reset, the touch screen has magically started working again. I'm extremely confused how this could have happened. My best guess is that the issue was intermittent and i accidentally jiggled the phone in a certain way to make it start working again.
Does anyone have an idea what could have happened, or how I could stress-test things to find out? If it is indeed an intermittent issue and the phone needs to be replaced I'd like to do that ASAP because I'm leaving the country and dealing with warranty will be difficult from overseas.
