Hi, has anyone experienced the screen going nuts?
From time to time this happens. There seems to be an empty spot where it doesnt detect any input. For example, if I'm swyping a word, the line just breaks and I end up with gibberish.
My capacitive back button doesn't seem to work as well. I have to sort of hold it before it registers any input.
The problem started only after i flashed the latest version of CM7.
The problem is not a permanent one cause it comes and goes. This makes using the phone a pain in the ass sometimes.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way for me to fix it?
I've reflashed the ROM countless times to no avail.
Please help.
Which version of CM7 are you using?
Did you format system partition before installing?
I'm running on CM7 V7.0.3. I've flashed the previous 2 versions and it was the same. And all those times I formatted everything before i flashed the new rom.
Do you think it's the rom or it's a hardware problem? The digitizer going bad perhaps? I haven't dropped the phone before and the problem is intermittent. but it's such a pain.
can anyone help me out?

Same thing happened to me. Took my phone to an AT&T store and they replaced it since I was still in my 1 year warranty. It was the digitizer doing out in my case. Happened after I tried cm7 too. Even unrooting didnt fix.

Lately my Fascinate's been freezing up like crazy. I'll be doing something, and all of a sudden the screens stops (music if any is playing does to) and I am forced to pull the battery out. I thought it could be the kernel, so I flashed another but no dice. Then I thought the rom could've been the problem, I switched, but still the same problem. Am I the only one experiencing something like this?? Any advice?
I love my phone but things like this that really irritate me..Thanks to anyone in advance!!
EDIT: I ODIN'd back to DIO1 in hopes that it would surely help but STILL..same problem!!
I desperately need some help, After boot up, it seems like I can olny do so much before it freezes again and it's unbearable..fml
If I were you, after a few different odin flashes to no avail... I would get it totally stock with the ed01 update and use the one year warranty for a shiny new one. Cause it sounds like a bigger problem.

I must admit, i have tinkered with the actual phone (installed new lcd/digitizer bc it broke) I did this a couple weeks ago, but does anyone have any idea what would cause a problem like this?
bump anyone?
Occasionally I would lose touch screen input on my phone when flashing etc however that was back in June/July time.
The only fix I could find at the time was to SBF back to 1.8.3.
Last night playing with the new CM9 ROM it happened again, my fault, responsibility and nothing to do with the ROM.
Now I have 6 months of backed up ROM's and PDS's and nothing is working for me. Tried Fruitcakes and no go. Fresh install, no go, PDS's restored for like for like ROM's and no change.
Anybody got any ideas before I start SBF'ing ?
Sbf'ed 2.3.4 Pudding and stock 1.8.3 and so far no joy.
Will keep playing. Convinced there is not a hardware issue but have an Atrix with a dead motherboard that I keep looking at and wondering about.
is it possible that's a PDS related issue? I saw people reflashing PDS to fix that.
Tried 5 different PDS's and no joy.
SBF'ing hasn't worked so far. Been playing with this on and off all day and about done.
Will have a think and return tomorrow. I have 2 batteries that need charging.
i have a real pds fix.img pm me and ill send ya the instructions and the file
and if it doesnt work then its deffinetly hardware related worth a shot cause my backed uo pds img did
not work when my pds borked but this pdsfix.img did
I have tried the Google pdsfix no good here neither.
Defo hardware
I fixed mine for time being just knowing where on the phone issue is

As said have an Atrix with a fried motherboard.
Took the motherboard from the one that lost touch and swapped it with the one that was fried and all good.
Odd thing is that the phone had been working well for 6 months without an issue not of my making through messing around with ROM's etc.
Thanks for the offers of help, appreciated.
I've experienced a problem with my Atrix actually quite randomly one day. While on jokersax's CM9 KANG ROM my touchscreen and capacitative buttons became unresponsive at a seemingly random time.
I've tried to wipe dalvik cache, reflash the ROM, wipe to factory settings and then reflash the ROM, even tried the PDS partition fix but nothing has worked.
I don't know what to do now... can anybody help from here? Thank you so much!
After trying all that I would start wondering about the hardware not the software
Hit thanks if this was helpful

Hi, you just described my exact problem. I'm using GingerMod 2.3.6 # 9 but I can't remember if I had this problem with the French ROM, that was my first Custom firmware. The only way to make it back to normal in my case was pulling out the battery and, recently I discovered that "adb reboot" worked too, so, if I'm not near a PC I need to pull the battery...
I'm afraid it's a HW problem, since my warranty was voided almost a week after I got the phone. Hopefully someone could post something that can help us.

I had this same problem and eventually my screen wouldn't work no matter what. I tried all the same things you guys did to no avail. I just flashed a stock fruitcake [couldn't find original recovery] and sent it in to Moto. They just got it a couple of days ago and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully they look past my software modifications and realize that it's obviously a hardware issue.
When I was on miui rom a few months back, this problem was very small and almost never happened.
Back to cm7 nightlies and it happens all the time.
Just happened. Lol

Same problem..
Flashed Turl's CM9, experienced a crash and 30% of the screen has become unresponsive since... It sucks and I need proof of purchase in order to send it in.. Too bad I bought it second hand.. Motorola... never again.
Me too. I've been blessed by unresponsive capacitive buttons. I was looking on how to edit an ICS Rom to include on screen buttons, but I just settled on downloading Button Savior to save time.
Is it possible that there is a bad connection inside the phone that I could fix by myself?
If someone knows how to make a ROM I would love if there were an on screen keyboard ROM (fingers crossed!!!).
F word... same problem for me.. i dont think it is hw because i just got my phone back from motorola for a dead touch zone repair. it never became unresponsive until i put cm9 on it... WE NEED A FIX!!!! i cannot use my phone at all. pds fix didnt work for me either
Hey whats up everyone. Ok long story short, I got the evo3d the first day it came out. Also rooted it with the first solution and never installed a custom rom for a while. Now a while back I started experiencing problems like when i touch a number key it either presses another, or sometimes enters it twice. It basically is making the phone impossible to use. I then figured maybe it had something to do with the original rom and the phone being rooted. So I then installed ViperRom as so many people have good things to say about it. The rom worked good for about a week or so and then the problem came back with the buttons just having a mind of its own. Now sometimes it will work with no issues for hours on end, and sometimes it just goes beserk from the get go. If anyone has experienced this and can please suggest something as Im ready to just call it in lost and have them send me a new one but if I can fix it I would much prefer that as I plan on just having it flashed to boost anyways since I've never used the 4g since the day ive gotten the phone.
Thanks in advance

I had this problem with another phone and I reinstalled my keyboard, because that's what was causing it.

It sounds like you've got issues with your digitizer. The only sure fix is to get a replacement.
response
Do you think maybe just trying to flash it back to stock would resolve the issue or possibly trying another rom? It happens so sporadic and only started after I rooted the phone. Also, to the poster above how do you reinstall your keyboard?

You can try to return to stock/unrooted and see if you can repeat the issue. And I didn't mean reinstall the keyboard, the digitizer is part of the touch screen assembly, so if you can repeat the problem for a sprint rep, they may give you a new/replacement phone.
Flashing back to stock, flipping kernels etc... Didn't fix mine. I had to get 2 of these 3d's until the 3rd finally worked. It's the digitizer.

Up until a few days ago my phone was running fine.
Now it randomly freezes. I've tried 3 different ROMs and a different modem/baseband. Wiped every time.
The UI still displays but it does not accept any input, although the backlighting still recognises touches.
It would suggest a hardware fault, possibly pre-SDS. Has anyone else experienced this and managed to fix it? (Assuming its not pre SDS).

could be SDS or try this one, I had the same symptoms and the thread helped me.
Seemed to do the trick for now at least.
Thanks.
