I updated to one ui 3.1 using the German rom on sammobile and it is good but I'm having terrible trouble with the home screen. The inside home screen keeps taking the settings from the outside home screen and vice versa so I get a lot of squashed up icons on the cover screen and a few spaced out icons on the inner screen. Very annoying. I've tried good lock to fix it but no luck.
Is it a known problem or only bad luck? Have you tried device rom reset?

I accidentally resolved this by setting up a work profile. Everything then magically went back to normal behaviour. Hope it helps someone.

What do you mean by a work profile?? Could you please explain more?
I was actually experiencing what you described as well but I would also get the one UI home app to start crashing over and over sometimes.
I had done everything I had known to do including a factory reset. Just ended up getting a replacement phone through samsung care+ after many frustrating days.

OK, now I have a problem.
If I turn my xoom off and then on again the touchscreen will not respond to any input, only hardware buttons work.
If I hold volume up and power button to restart, it restarts and everything works OK. I can but it to sleep and wake it up and still everything works. Everything works until I turn it off and on again, then the problem returns and I need to hold volume up and power button to restart it again to get the touch screen working.
I searched the net but didn't find anything similar.
Any ideas?
is it still stock or you rooted / update kernel ?

Its complitly stock wifi only Xoom, bought from US about two weeks old.
I tried Factory reset, it didn't change anything.
Strange thing is that volume up and power reset fixes it every time. And it works fine until i turn it off again. What does this volume up and power button command do exactly, soft reset? If soft reset fixes it, it can't be a hardware problem or can it?
If I were you I would return it cuz to me that sounds like a defect with your xoom. But if u messed with it (rooting/unlocking) they won't even touch it.

Like i already said, i haven't messed with it, it's completely stock.
About returning it... The problem is that i'm in Europe and i bought my Xoom from US, so i'm not really excited about sending it back.
Is it somehow possible to install the current android 3.0.1 rom again? Without unlocking and rooting?
I do not know if it works on the xoom but other tablets have a calibration ini file that you can place on the root of your SD card and reboot letting it recalibrate the touch screen? Let me know and I can send that to you?

Thanks for trying to help! I'm not sure i want to mess with this yet. I talked to Motorola about my problem and the seemed very interested in my problem, so i will wait and see what they suggest.
Any news from there? I have a similar situation here (malfunctioning touchscreen, and I'm from Europe).

My malfunctioning is slightly different from yours, but I'm interested in what Motorola says for a problem like this.

They are still thinking how they can help me, there is no solution yet, I will let you know when I get a solution from them.
And yes, my problem seems different from you. No one have reported anything similar to my problem.
I have seen a few threads similar to your problem.

Really? I haven't seen anything like my problem in forums, and everyone told me that my problem is "strange" :S
However, just in case, have you thought about how to return the Xoom from Europe to US? Or are you directly talking with Motorola to file a RMA practice? After all, we should have one year of international warranty by Motorola, isn't it?

In fact someone from Motorola US contacted me and offered help, so I can't really say anything bad about Motorola, they are really friendly and helpful. They offered to replace my Xoom, but later discovered that i'm not in US and suggested that I should be able to get a replacement from europe.
Before I was contacted by Motorola US, I sent a email to Motorola UK and they also apologized for the problems I had and offered to replace my Xoom, only problem is that they don't have any in stock at the moment, so I have to wait about two weeks.
As my Xoom works great after I force reboot it, it's not a problem for me to wait, I can use my Xoom until I get a replacement.
I would like to thank Motorola for the great support that they have offered me and I will update this thread when my issue is resolved.
But back to your problem, I suggest that you contact your nearest Motorola office, i'm sure they will try to help you.

I'm trying to do it right now
A little update.
I have been using my faulty Xoom for over two weeks now. I didn't turn it off so it worked until today. Today i tried to install a app from Market and My apps crashed, so i tried to stop it and this caused Launcer to FC (Does Launcer FC cause a automatic reboot?). The screen went black and in about 20 seconds it did show me the lock screen and i had no touch screen control. So i force rebooted it and now it doesn't even start up anymore, it's stuck on boot animation.
So it's starting to get really frustrating... I'm even considering to buy another Xoom, but this really isn't a solution, i have no use for two (if i ever get a replacement).
Has anyone any ideas? Why is it now stuck on boot animation, doesn't this look like a software problem? Is there any way to push clean images to it without unlocking? I understand that unlocking will void my warranty?
Is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking?
Ok, i got it to boot up again. I did Wipe data/factory reset and now it boots up again, but still no touch control.
And it seems that i have confirmed that doing too many force reboots will mess up the system.
BTW, there is a way to get into Android recovery on WIFI only Xoom, i wish i had known this before, "adb reboot recovery" works.
Can someone please answer my question, is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking? Maybe that will fix my touch screen control problem...
I've having this same issue but mine is worse.. the touchscreen is not working AT ALL.. only the power button works..
I can restart the xoom with the volume up power button but after it restarts still no response from the touchscreen!
What can I do to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated..
Hey guys, is there a way to calibrate the nexus s touchscreen? Sometimes it is unresponsive...
Anybody?
unresponsive? Maybe you just need to make a good wipe and fresh instal of your rom/kernel..
no?
I don't think so because it happened since gingerbread 2.3.6, and now i have brainmaster's stock 4.0.3 with eugene's kernel and still happens sometimes... and i did a full wipe before flashing ICS.
i used the nook screen calibrator from the market...it worked fine for me
sent from Ice Cream Infused NS4g
I'll give it a shot and let you know, thanks. BTW, on the market i've found Nook Screen Recalibrate, it is the same as you used, right?
Edit: I've tried the app and it managed to improve the touchscreen response, but didn't solve my problem at all (phantom touches). But they're almost gone. Is there any other app like that?

Same thing with mine. The phantom touches are only vertical but the device has become unusable.
I'm installing Cyanogenmod 10 now. Let's see if that helps.

It didn't help. touch seems to work but if I hold the touch the touch sensor goes crazy and starts touching several random points in the screen, all in the same vertical as the place I touch.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Could be but since the problem started after I ran the Nook Screen Recalibrate my first suspicion was the program.
I'm trying several different solutions from other threads and none seems to work:
- TouchRecalibrate.apk
- calibration.ini
- ts_calib-signed.zip

If you wipe everything and flash a rom, there's no way it's a software issue.

Well, it's working now. I don't know exactly what soved the problem but in my despair I re-executed all procedures and something must have gone right. Wish I could tell what fixed it for others but I really don't know.
Thanks for the help polobunny
Same problem
Hey,
I got the same problem,
so I did some research, I found out that there lots of people got the same problem.
A wipe, or install an other kernel or rom will work, but it will for some reason return.
For some models it's enough to install a kernel with some other touchscreen preference. One problem, it will only work on android 2.3 there are not jet other newer kernels published
But 99% its not a screen problem, so u can buy a new screen and replace it with no success. But most of the people say it's a hardware problem. So modify the touchscreen driver.
sorry, bad english​
I have tried restoring to factory settings and installing only a few of my apps in my account. It'll happen without warning and without too many things running. I even watched it restart itself while I left it alone charging on my nightstand. Other than this issue, I LOVE using it, but I really don't want to have to resort to RMA and waiting a few weeks on a new one. Any ideas?

My Nexus 5 has the same Problem. Nothing helps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520587
Hey all. I've gotten good responses here before so I figured I'd come back.
Right, well, I've had a Moto G for not too long now, so I was surprised when I woke up this morning and there were huge latency issues on the screen. About a 3/4 of a second delay. It was working perfectly the other day, and I'm confused. My phone has never had root access and still doesn't. The strangest things I've noticed when using a screen tester app is that only when one finger is down is there latency. Two to five fingers is as fast as it should be.
And also, the soft buttons are working fine, the ones down the bottom.
So if anyone can tell me what's wrong, or perhaps what I should do to correct this phone killing problem, I would be thrilled.
(PS. I've noticed a dead pixel at the top right of my scree. Perhaps they are related issues?
Thanks again for any or all help! ^^

Its always a good place to start. Could just be some background app data causing havoc.
hmmm...
Mmkay, I reset the phone, and nothing changed. Still getting the latency, even just from moving around the home screen.
Any other suggestions?

That sounds like it could be a hardware issue then. There wont be any software changes you can make to fix it if a factory reset didn't help.
You may have to warranty the thing.
Is it through a carrier or did you just buy it outright?
Oh man I'm really sorry about this, not replying. I fixed it with factory reset but keeping my SIM in the machine.
Thank you xD

You need to start with removing the new SystemUI. This is a buggy application and this is perhaps a cause of your scree issue.. And because of some FC i would recommend a factory reset.
