Hey guys and gals,
I have nexus 5 that is just about a year and a half old. Every now and then, when I wake up the phone from sleep, the touch screen becomes unresponsive and I see white horizontal lines running across the top. I have tried restarting the phone, resetting the phone to factory. The problem still persists. The only way I get the lines to stop from showing up and get the touch screen responsive again is pushing down on the screen hard at random location.
I have attached a video of the problem I'm getting. https://youtu.be/CzgZ1bcN1Lk
I'm suspecting its a screen issue and I need to replace the LCD panel, Digitizer, etc
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You need to replace the digitizer (if I'm not wrong), I've encountered this issue before on my older phone.

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.
The device is Samsung Vibrant.
So recently I replaced the screen and it has an annoying bright strip on its left side that randomly shows up from time to time, so I decided to reinstall the screen to fix it. After doing that the screen would stay black but it still reacts (it vibrates upon unlocking, etc)
Before I do anything else, I was wondering if anyone has encountered this and managed to make the screen work again, before I send it back. Thanks.
I think connection was failing and by replacing display it failed ...
yea probably. gonna send it back. thanks
My Nexus has a display problem and i'm trying to troubleshoot what the issue is and I'm wondering if anyone could help as it's not obvious where the issue lies.
What happened is I was using it as normal this morning and then the screen started flickering to different sizes/colours until it finally just went off. It was almost like it is trying to find the correct refresh rate and the colours appeared polarised at one point. After holding power down to reset it, the google logo appeared and then the spinning dots. Once the boot was complete the android logo appeared and then as soon as the main screen was displayed the display cuts off with a white pixelated mist and shuts off. The phone is still running as if I connect via HDMI I can see everything as normal however the phone responds extremely slowly. I can get into recovery however the screen quickly does some strange things, it flips like a mirror and cuts 1/3 of the screen off.
I'm not sure if this is a LCD problem as its a replacement from ebay that I've been using for a few weeks now. I would suspect that before anything else however it's odd the pre boot logos display fine. I've checked and cleaned all connections however it's still doing it. I'm running stock 5.1.1 rooted.
Hi everyone,
After I dropped my phone I had to change the display.
Only after I've changed the screen another problem surfaced: the screen becomes unresponsive (like it enters slowly in sleep mode) and pink lines apear.
The display is OK since I reinstalled the ROM twice and the install screen work without fail.
It looks loke an overheating problem.
Has someone else seen this behavior?
Thank you!
seems you have installed screen not correctly, I mean the ribbon has a small amount of circuitry and components. did you check those?
When installing and configuring Android there is no problem, just after it starts the problem begins.
My phone screen suddenly started flickering and now I have white noise/dead pixels on the top right corner. Any Ideas why or how to fix it if possible?
That will require a new lcd screen, its the only way to fix it, send it in to warranty.
