Odd Touchscreen issues - Motorola Droid 3

Hey,
I have Verizon droid 3 running up in Canada, and its been working fine...however it recently started having issues with the touchscreen.
Basically the screen works normally 3% now, otherwise it only works when the keyboard is open to just above the first row of keys.
If I touch the screen while the keyboard is fully open it wont respond, but when I go back to the working position it will respond to a touch made while fully open (ie; I pressed ok after typing, it didn't submit until I closed the keyboard to the working position, like a delayed response).
It seems like a software issue, but I already hard reset.....
Any ideas? I don't want to change this phone after only 5 months (no Verizon warranty here!)..
Thanks,

Which ROM are you on, stock or a custom one?

Its a long shot, but I have odd touchscreen issues when plugged into cheap power sources (inverters, etc). You may want to check the battery - pop it out for a bit, put it back in, maybe try someone else's, etc...

Oh ok, then I'm not really sure. I would, if you want, try and flash right back to complete stock and see if your having the same troubles. If you are then it's almost guaranteed to be a hardware problem. However, if the problem doesn't persist then it could have just been some weird bug or glitch that happened. I've had some weird things happen a week or so after a flash and it was software related.
But all this would be having you do a reflash either through CWM/Safestrap or sbf and then you lose everything you have (Though you can backup & restore apps via Titanium Backup). So if you don't end up reflashing I understand
Also does this happen only at certain times/intervals say when your charging? Hope this helps!
Edit: I looked at the orig post at work and forgot to look at it again. A hard reset should be able to fix it, but you never know. I would recommend a reflash and see what happens. Sorry I can't be more help

I hate you. I read your post yesterday and thought "huh, that's really weird and unfortunate." I woke up today and the same thing is happening to me. I haven't flashed anything since April. It was totally out of the blue.
Mine only works when the screen is slid open bout half a centimeter, not even enough to force the screen to rotate.

That's exactly what's happening....It's been like this for a week. However, it sometimes works when I left it for the night to charge...or randomly, but full functionality lasts only a few minutes.

has there been any update on this status? im trying to fix a friends with the same problem.

I think that is bad luck and your digitizer is stopped working.

I'm in the same train
It's strange.
Yesterday my touchscreen it was completely unresponsive the whole day.
stock rom, everything untouched
i rebooted it a million times. closed or open make no difference.
today, it is working amazingly
what was the difference? nothing at all! it layed on my desk all night
i don't understand how the digitizer can go between perfect condition and not working as it wish.

Captivate Ghost

Well I'm not sure if it was from the multiple ROM flashes and what not, but my Captivate started acting like I hit the bottom back key as it would randomly go back in the browser or exit out of programs. The back key would blink like I pushed it and vibrate. So fortunately I was on the last day of my 30 day return period with Amazon, and they sent me a new replacement. Anyone have an idea of why it was acting up? Those bottom keys are touch so I wouldn't imaginr they could get stuck unless the sensor got messed up somehow.

well I can hopefully tell you what it is. you seem to have a similar problem to what I did. i even called samsung for an RMA then figured it out and canceled lol. mine ended up getting REALLY bad and it annoyed the holy hell out of me. I went to the fair the day before I noticed it and thought when I was riding a ride I jacked it up. Little did I remember I 1Clicked back to JI6 and updated Cog right before we left..
What I determined was when I used the 1 click Odin to go back to the JI6 (iirc) and it has something to do with the Kernel. I flashed up to JH7 OTA using the other Odin and it fixed the issue.
You can see what touchscreen driver you are running by using the SGS Tools, go to the secret codes, in there theres something about touchscreen firmware version. I think the version on 6 is like 0x15 and the one on 7 is 0x16. I dont remember the number perfect but that is what I figured out. For soem reason when I flashed with the 1 click, then up to a COG release it kept the touchscreen from JI6 and my phone DID NOT LIKE IT. Also if you hit Update- it will kill the keypad and you have to reboot for it to work again.
Give that a go and see if it fixes the issue. If you dont want to flash 2.1, bump to Cog2.2 Beta X and I bet that will fix the issue too.
Eitherway, check your touchscreen driver. The touch key part is what you are specifically looking for- the part at the bottom of firmware version info page.
If you dont have SGS Tools, open the phone dialer and punch in:
*#*#2663#*#*
Well I did in fact go from the one click to the cog, but then when I just cleared everything and flashed back to the one click again, it was still there. I just got my replacement today, so I guess I will just take the new one since its free lol. But thanks to you I now know what to do should it happen again, though after that I'm a bit apprehensive about flashing :/
Oh and on this new one I updated it straight out of the box so I could avoid the failed updates, and the version is 0x16 as you said.

Touch Screen (Goes Nuts)

Well a little while now my phone been reacting on it's own. Keep going haywire as if some sort of bug/virus infected the phone.
Also i notice sometimes when i connect the USB it chimes like a bird for several minutes.
I been looking up to see if anyone has the same issues and seen that some call it ghost screen and only way to get rid of it is hard mod or replacement.
But i only seem to get this issue the day i install a process manager which had 3 processes which i notice that sort of vanished from the menu. So i'm not sure if this has cause the issue with the phone.
So i went ahead and installed GoT and CyanogenMod which boot up nicely btw.
But still i get the USB Chimes going crazy once in a while and half the screen is is no responsive . I can't even unlock the phone using touch screen. Cause the sec i swipe to almost the middle of the screen it stops. But at least the random ghost touch thing is gone i think.
Anyone know my issues? Before installing i did wipe/reset/everything.
Could it be my firmware is corrupted? But doesn't that get refreshed when i install the got/mod?
I wish to get my phone re-installed to a fresh status like go back to a fresh copy of 2.1 to see is that works how do i do this?
That was how my phone acted before I lost functionality of part of my touchscreen.
To go back to stock, flash a stock sbf using rsdlite. Sbf's can be found here. Use the non service versions.

Exactly my problem. Is it the left side right up to the top? I cannot use the back button nor any icons on that column.
It is a hardware problem.

Sounds like you need to replace the digitizer?
I had my touch screen going crazy. Couldn't use my phone at all no matter what rom. Flashing it back to stock didn't work either. I put it in the oven as per other thread and it's been working over a month now.

Dunno if this is relevant, but had same issue when i was using cheap but extra small chinese charger
It is relevant, because if I use wall sockets without grounding (@countryside, par example) it goes nuts while charging. Same sh*t happens when connected to USB, no matter if the PC/laptop is plugged in a grounded wall socket.
I'm going through the same problem. There is like a line in the screen where nothing works, it's around the 5th home screen page (I can't select it). Since I have this phone for almost two months, I'll try checking with authorized support.

[Q] Lock Screen Password Enabled Even After Factory Reset

hey everyone!
my phone went a little crazy by randomly shutting off while using cm10 so I decided to restore to a stock non-root nandroid I made around 8 months ago. Everything went well up until the point I rebooted: I unwittingly had set up a text lockscreen password that I had since then forgotten (who remembers passwords from 8 months ago?!). So I went in CWM, did a factory data reset and rebooted. I turned off the screen and turned it back on to BAM! the lockscreen again... And the fracked up thing is that there isnt even a "forgot password" gmail confirmation option thing at the bottom so I'm completely locked out of my phone! Is there anything I can do other than buy that $4 screen lock bypass exploitation app??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe try another factory reset (sucks I know) and this time after boot go into security settings and turn off the screen lock before your screen turns off. If you just try and change the password you'll be prompted for the old one first. That being said, I haven't used stock in so long I can't promise this will work either.
Those random reboots you got with CM10 were common with older versions and the other variants such as Pacman, Slimbean, etc, but the latest one I haven't had that happen and I've been using it a week. I only say this because stock is just makes this phone crawl IMO.

Haha, thanks, not an absolute fix but at least it works. Kinda strange since I read that CWM factory resets wipes out everything including lockscreen passes... And my phone wasn't rebooting, it would just shut off randomly, battery would drain at horrifying speeds (from 99% to 0 after a 7 minute phone call) (I also had the latest ver). I was thinking that I could maybe restore stock rom and send it back to samsung or provider since its still under warranty
EDIT: I'm gonna try Samsung Remote Screen Unlock and see if that works. Plus I just checked my battery: It's as swollen as Rosie O'donnell at Mandarin, which explains the crappy battery life.

If you're rooted you can remove gesture.key using adb shell but I forget where exactly it is. Google it

yeah... can't root, need this phone to be as stock as can be if I'm to get it replaced (or at least the battery). Btw, Is there a way to possibly remove CWM in case they check recovery?
PS: Totally irrelevant but I keep reading about a CM10.1 rom for this phone; I've searched far and wide but I can't seem to find it! Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Yes the easiest way to get rid of cwm is to flash the stock file. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G there are, i believe two methods, one using Odin the other flashing something in recovery. Just read. As for cm10.1 camcory is working on it so is smartguy. Even i compiled it but it doesn't boot all the way. Check insomniaforums.org that is probably where it will be posted

CM10.1 boots fine and runs smooth but not yet ready for release. There is a few broken items in it I believe if I recall but cannot restore it due to limited battery till I get home to verify what was wrong. Be patient and when ready public will know about it.

phone vibrates even when switched off! - please help

ok so i got my htc one a couple of days ago and it sees to have a serious problem!
Basically the phone goes through stages of random vibrating every few mins to full on constant vibrating like there is a fan or motor buzzing in there. It even does it if the phone is switched off! Ive just had an episode of it vibrating no stop for 10 mins, didnt make a difference when i switched it off or when i factory reset it!
It seems to overheat or something and only stopped doing it after i had just left it for a while. I have tried to speak with htc about it but they were useless and had no suggestions what soever.
I really need some help here, i bought the phone privately and to all intense purposes it seemed like brand new

SO you CAN NOT exchange the phone?
if not... root your phone and flash different rom that should resolve problem...at least give it a try!

No cant exchange it, only option i might have if i cant get the problem ressolved on here would be to send it to htc for repair but can take up to 2 weeks.
when i got the phone it was still on 4.1 and told me update available to 4.2 so i did that. Thats all i have done , apart from unlocking it from 02 using a code.
its almost like on a computer when its being worked hard etc that you here the fan cut in, thats what it seems like except it sounds like the buzz you get when you first start the phone. sometimes it does this just once every few mins or so, other times it will start doing it and not stop...even when switched off.....everything else on the phone seems to work fine

Did the device get wet at some point? Sounds like a hardware problem if a factory reset didn't solve the problem.
There's a slight chance it could be a real bad app or an issue with the rom. Maybe running a stock RUU for your device if you can find it might help.
Pretty sure it hasent got wet .
Would be happy to put stock Rom back on it but not sure how I go about reflashing it .
Don't know if this normal or not but when I did a factory reset I thought the device would be wiped completely, all my pictures and videos etc however when I set it back up again I found some videos on there still that I had downloaded to the phone off the net.
Maybe it's not wiping itself correctly either?

Resetting the device should wipe everything and bring it to the same condition as new.
Go to settings>>Backup & Reset>>Reset phone>>now check "Erase all data", then tap "OK".
If that doesn't work, try to do a factory reset from the bootloader.

Factory reset will wipe the device but leave the contents of the sdcard untouched which explains why your vids are still there
Appreciate the help guys, thankyou
So, is there any benifit to wiping the device completely over and above what I've done allready?
Today the phone has just done the odd sudden vibration as if you were just booting up, around 5 times in total, nowhere near as bad as last night, don't know why that would be.
Would it be possible to reflash standard firmware?
Is so how would I do it. Phone is completley standard and was in 4.1 prior to the ota update to 4.2, could 4.2 be the problem?

I'd try it. You can back up your pics and music on your PC via HTC Sync first.
Ok so I have tried it but no joy
Still getting the random buzzing/vibration for no apparent reason.
Could it be a bug with the update to 4.2.2?
Can I go back to 4.1?
I'm at my witts end with this now

Don't think it's a bug with 4.2.2 but a hardware issue.
Couple of other things to try ; download "CID Getter" from the play store, run it and find out your device's CID number. Now search on Google or xda for the RUU for your device's CID number. Download the RUU.exe to your pc, connect your phone to the pc and run the RUU.exe. This will bring the phone back to stock 4.1..
Or you can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Step by step instructions can be found on xda
Sorry, don't know of any easy solutions.

thanks for sticking with me on this :good:
I have just followed a a video on here on how to unlock the bootloader and s-off and root - so now good to go
not sure how i put a new firmware on here now though..going to have to do a bit more reading....
i think to start with ill try downloading standard htc 4.1 rom when i can figure out which one it is and how i put it on and then go from there.
ok so just to update this....
last night i have tried the standard google edition rom on my phone and for the first few hours all seemed fine untill 4am this morning when i was woked by the phone doing its random vibrating thing...it was just sat by the side of my bed on charge
Can only think it must be a hardware issue now...but still dont know what or what is triggering it

You tried everything so it's has to be a hardware issue. Maybe the vibration starts when the device gets warm. Sorry we couldn't fix it.

My HTC one has been doing the same thing. Vibrating randomly even when powered down. Brought it back to Sprint and had them order me a new phone. The only way to stop it from vibrating when powered down was to bang it on a hard surface, then it would stop. Crazy!
Vibrating non stop
My HTC One had been vibrating cotinuously too. I kept slapping the upper part of the phone to stop it from vibrating. However, this worked for the initial few days only. Later, it continued to vibrate continuously without stopping at all ! In the night I left the phone in the other room while it was still vibrating and the next morning the phone wouldn't charge at all! Now the phone is not booting/ charging. It is dead! Any leads?
EDIT: I slapped the upper part again, it suddenly woke up from the dead! It is charging now, the LED is red too!! But it is still continuously vibrating. I have left it to charge as of now, but please help with this vibrating problem. Any ideas?
I've had the same issue with my M7 today.
There were no software updates or any new apps lately.
It all emerged when i was pressing the home button (to exit from some app) and at the same time an incomming call started.
I have tried:
switching it off - did not help
Changing volume setting silent\vibe\sound a couple of times - no effect
Soft reset - no help
Hard reset - no help
Slapping with upper side of the phone against my had - helped for some time, the it started again
Seems like hardware issue.
Currently working solution for me:
Switch off the option "Vibrate on keypress" in Settings ==> Sound & notification
UPD: had to turn off all the vibrations
So far so good. Apparently there is some issue with vibe motor, and it just does not stop. I assume that by disabling that option it is not getting started and thus no constant vibe follows.
UPD 2 Fixed:
Issue reoccurred on hitting the device against my palm.
Had to disassemble it, there are a couple of instructions on youtube, i used plastic cards.
Motor was spinning even with a switched off device. Had to unplug and plug the motor a couple of times and it helped.
Turned on all vibrations in settings, no issues so far.
Hope that helps.

Strange problem with BSOD on the ONE

Hi everyone.
I would like to report a pretty fightening situation I faced with my ONE this morning.
I was at a coffe shop conected with wifi and at some point I tried to run Antutu (which I had done lots of time since the 31st of October that I got my One) the dvice gave me a notification that Antutu didnt work and If I wanted to report the problem.
I did click on the report the problem and the phone became unresponsive.
I pressed the power button to see if I can restart the phone but instead the screen became black and would turn on.
Pressing power button long the capacivity buttons were flashing and thats all.
I returned home and I connected it to the charger but the LED light didnt come on.
I tried immediately to turn the device on and to my delight it did boot and worked fine.
I also noticed tryibg quadrant benchmark this afternoon did not work.
Almost performed the test but then it stopped of course I didnt push harder and uninstall quadrant and antutu as well.
Has anyone faced this before?
If that happens again how can I reboot the phone to escape the frozen screen?
That sounds like defective hardware. I think you need to exchange for a new one or send to HTC to be fixed.

Since its working and its fully functional I think I can leave without the prety much useless benchmark apps.
Funny part is that this is a replacement phone from HTC Europe because my HTC ONE X had a BSOD problem after they replaced my mainboard and battery after another problem.
All in all it was a deja vu for me to see my almost 10 days old HTC ONE do the same problem the HTC ONE X displayed.
Maybe there is some kind of curse on me.
There is an ex-girlfriend I suspesct........

I have a similar problem with my HTC One, which i bought back in July.
Sometimes the phone refuses to wake up, i have to hold the power key, together with the home key to make it reboot.
Other times the screen refuses to turn off and only rebooting as described above helps.
I waited for the upgrade to Android 4.3, hoping the problem would be fixed.
Unfortunately it didn't help. I also tried to hard reset and initialize the phone a couple of times, also without luck.
I also tried to run the phone without my apps to be sure the problem was not caused by any one of them.
Yesterday i initialized again and the phone worked without problems, so this morning i added WhatsApp.
Everything worked ok for a couple of hours, so i added 2 more apps (news reader and an app to control the heating).
After a few hours the problem reoccured so i removed the last 2 apps and rebooted. After a couple of minutes it got stuck again.
Since i'm struggling with this problem for some weeks now and it seems to become worse, i decided to request HTC to repair or replace my phone.
Two of my friends also own a HTC One and don't have this problem.
Maybe you should also consider to get in touch with HTC.
Good luck!
What rom's and kernels are you all running?
You should be finding some girls in the coffee shop but you try to run Antutu instead?

Well the place was pretty boring in that area which explains why I was playing with the phone.
I thought that was apparent.....
