Hey guys and girls,
Recently, my TP screen died. I was sleeping at the time so I am not sure exactly what happened.
The phone seems to function perfectly aside from the screen. Turns on, lights up, etc.
It did magically come on for a short amount of time. When it did, it was ghosting lines to the right if that makes sense. Not constantly though, it would flicker.
Now, does anyone know what this issue is? I've read a bunch of threads on here and haven't really found a definitive answer.
Help!
Cheers.
One more thing. The touchscreen function works fine, just not the screen.

Hi,
I've had this problem several times so far. At first, I thought maybe it was just a one time thing, but it happened again, and it's pretty problematic as it eats up battery, so I'd love to know if anyone else has this issue or knows a fix.
The problem:
- Out of nowhere, the screen comes on (locked screen).
- The screen stays on unless I do something. I mean, it stays on forever unless I do something to it.
- When I log in, the phone all of sudden starts vibrating forever unless I press the volume up/down button. It's not going vvv...vvv...vvv... Instead, it goes, VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV! forever unless I stop it.
It's really weird, and I don't know how to fix it. It's also random.

I got my Xoom (WiFi) yesterday... already noticing some weird touchscreen behaviour.
It seems to me that whenever the Xoom is laid down flat, there's a chance that the device will stop responding to touch presses properly. Instead of being able to press-and-swipe, it acts like I tapped the screen (eg, pressed my finger on the screen and then lifted it straight back off) or worse, it causes a screen press in completely the wrong position. When it starts happening, it keeps on happening, but picking the Xoom up and holding it vertical seems to fix the problem.
Half the time it seems fine laid down though, so I'm not sure if it's just coincidence that it stops working at the same time I put it down flat or not, or that maybe picking it up means my hand is in contact with the back of the screen and this somehow changes some sort of electrical variable in my hands that affects the touchscreen operation.
Anyone else seen the same issue? I'm thinking I may need to take it back but want to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

ok.. judging by the lack of response on this, I may either be on my own or it's just something that nobody is noticing. I've been testing it a bit more - I wrote an app which can show each touch point on the screen so I can see how the screen press/drag is working. This is what I've found.
Holding the tablet upright, screen presses and movements are fine, however I've noticed that if I hold my fingers in the same place for a while, the touch points will prematurely end.
If I put the Xoom down on the couch, there is a strong likelihood that the touchscreen will become incredibly unresponsive. I have had it regularly show up phantom presses where touching one point of the screen makes it appear as if I have also pressed another point of the screen. I also cannot drag my fingers across the screen - the touch points stay where they are until I take my fingers off the screen completely, or they just disappear right away as if I tapped the screen.
When this happens, if I touch the side of the case with either a free finger or my other hand, the touchscreen starts working perfectly! Seriously! I'm not kidding, I've been messing with this thing almost non-stop for the past coulpe of days and it is consistently doing this. So - couch + little finger on side of case = working touchscreen. couch but no contact with metal case = malfunctioning touchscreen.
If I have the Xoom in Motorola's case, it seems to work fine. If I put it on a table, it's a bit buggy but generally works better than on the couch. Any sort of material seems to send it regularly into crazy mode. The only time I've noticed it doesn't do this is if I'm in contact with the device immediately before putting it down and then remain in contact with the screen.
Could some sort of static charge cause this? Is it possible that me touching the back of the case is effectively allowing it to 'conduct' electricity properly on the touch screen? I'm not all that familiar with how capacitative screens work other than I assume they measure capacitance from your fingers. Maybe a static charge could throw it off. Or maybe I have weird fingers.
Anyway, I'm pretty close to taking the Xoom back now. Just trying to figure out if it's actually faulty or whether they're all like it by 'design'.
sorry
need to post to remove my limitations sorry again
This could be a loose touch controller cable. Someone had similar problems and posted a how to fix this, search for it.
It happens with me too, it's incredible annoying when you are developing and the tablet is on your table for debugging..
Did you find how to fix it?
I have a serious unresponsive issue on my Xoom when charging. I've tried several different chargers, (all from Motorola) with no luck. Unfortunately all the ones I tried where at my house so I'm not sure if its a wiring issue in my house.
I also have a similar problem on my Droid Razr so I'm starting to think its definitely the wiring.
Anyone know about this issue or have any recommendations?

Thats weird.. i owned xoom n droid razr too but i dun have any iissue
It could be a wiring issue (try another house, I guess), but a lot of devices are like that where the touch screen stops being as responsive when it's on a wall charger.
Hello everyone!
I have been visiting the site for a long time but this is the first time I actually post.
Well the problem I have with my nexus is that the screen stopped working a few days ago, but the touchscreen is still responding. I was walking at the beach with the phone in my pocket and after some time I realized the phone was not working. I suppose it was the humidity because the phone was completely dry.
Now the weird thing is that the touchscreen works perfectly, I can feel it when I unblock the phone, but the screen is completely black. Anyone has any idea how to fix this? I already changed the screen of my old nexus 4 a few times, but is there any other option? because I do not want to pay for the whole screen replacement when the touchscreen is working. I would say that it is just some contacts not working properly, but I do not really know how to fix that.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.
Thank you!
Maybe this thread will point in the right direction. Mentioned is flashing stock recovery.

Thanks for the reply! I tried that but it did not work and after the battery run out I realized it was not charging either. So I think the only thing left is to send it to repair to LG or something...
i just got a one plus one replaced. and in the new phone sometimes while touching 'I' "ou" gets touched. i dont know why its happening. and its really frustrating while typing. Please reply me suggestions to fix this problem.
