So I just noticed that I'm getting a flickering from the homr screen whenever I clear an app from the Clear All screen then hitting the Home button right away. Anybody had the same issue or does my phone have a defective display? TIA!
Doesn't seem to be happening on mine. Have you tried doing a factory reset? Might be a software bug.

So of you followed my latest "journey", I had a perfectly funtiocnal phone, I screwed up the lockscreen font sending me into bootloop, I managed to eventually get an update zip that flashed the correct lockscreen font to the phone, and all is well. Except for one annoying thing
I noticed now when I press the power button to wake the phone, the bottom capacitive buttons will light up first, then the display will light up. There's a noticeable lag where there wasn't one before.
Thinking it might be my system, I took a nandroid backup, then factory reset the phone (Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Reset). When it was done reloading the factory restore, I tried turning the screen off and on, delay was still there. I restored my backup, phone was back to normal, but delay was still there.
Any ideas where this delay came from? I'm going to try flashing a few other backups I have and see of they all do it.
I noticed this too. I think it's Virgin Mobile's way of "fixing" the flickering screen problem... just don't let it power on until it's cooled down. Thus we get a slow-to-turn-on screen.
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.
Recently I've been having lock ups on my screen. The digitizer continues to work as if I keep typing during a text while this happens once it unfreezes everything I've typed will appear on screen. I also get some random graphical glitches kind of like the controller is failing. Anyone seen this behavior before? I'm hoping it is software but a hard reset hasn't corrected the problem, also I've not had any hard drops.
Hey guys,
My wife has an att gear s2 sport. Her screen is unresponsive to touch. Everything else works, the bezel turns and the screens and scrolls though apps, the side buttons works. But can't seem to get the screen to work. There are times where it works and then it stops working again. I already tried to factory reset the s2 but it didn't solve it.
She mentioned that this started occurring after an update. Not sure what fw it currently is on. Anyone have a solution for this?
I have the same problem. Can anyone help?
same issue
I have the same issue not sure if I had an update recently, but my screen is unresponsive and sometimes it will just start clicking things on its own.
Restart, and if that doesn't work, Factory Reset the watch.
I don't have the "how to" in front of me, but a quick Google search should find it easily.
Anyone else have an issue with unlocking the phone either by the power button or fingerprint scanner? My phone at times just sits there when i try to unlock it and will sometimes restart when i press the power button again when its frozen. Anyone else have that issue?
I have the s8+ from tmobile. I tried factory resseting and even updated to the new update. No luck. Any ideas?
Same, looks like a bug in the OS
Good!!! Better than getting a faulty device. Hopefully it can be fixed soon!
Mine froze and went to black screen after i downloaded and applied new theme. And when i press the home button i can feel the haptic feedback. I tried charging the phobe but there was no light too. I just perform a hard reset with the power + volume down keys.
You jinxed me... I read this thread but didn't bother clicking on it because I wasn't having the issue...
well... just did it. iris unlock, and then I got a reset and power button wasn't turning it on for a minute.
Hopefully it will be fixed
Yep
Hello, No issues on my S8+ from Tmobile.
Do you have a theme installed that maybe is causing the delay?
I learned from other posts from xda, when doing a factory reset, do NOT perform a backup and restore for apps. This causes some delays in response from the phone. Is better always to install fresh the apps from the app store and then just log in.
I also recommend enabling the developer options and disable all three animations to off. This will speed the phone response.

No themes and installed the apps fresh on the second time. Has only happened twice since the reset so it improved. Now i just give it time if it freezes on me when unlocking so that it doesnt reboot.
