I just got my Dell Streak a week ago, I really like it so far, but I've had a pretty vexing problem come up today.
I had it in Silent mode, and when I woke up the screen and went to "Slide to Unlock", the whole bottom of the screen was unresponsive. I had to let the screen time out and try it again at least three times.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running the Stock 2.2 on Rogers, and using ADW Launcher Pro as my launcher. No other major UI Tweaks.
I can confirm that I do experience that problem sometimes. The S2U moves just a little bit, but but I can't slide it all the way over. I'm also using LP+ as my default launcher. I guess it would be a good test to run the Stage UI as a test to see if it's related to LP+ or not.

I had this same problem, but I noticed that it only occurred if I had the screen facing my leg when it was in my pocket.
I think that what is happening is that when it's in your pocket it still detects screen presses by your leg, and then it gets confused, and won't detect any more screen presses for a long time.
To begin with it stopped me from answering calls and was really annoying, but now I just make sure I put it in my pocket with the screen facing out and it works fine.
Yall need to recalibrate ur screen that helped mine never to be unresponsive again! Search for the guide on here cant remember the button combo to get to it i think it was hold camera and power at the same time when turning on but dont hold me to that just search xda its on here
recalibrate the screen, and also its created by the friction/heat from rubbing off your leg (wahay), so either have the screen facing out, or buy a case for it
Since i recalibrated my screen i can have it any way i want in my pocket and it never hangs anymore
Download menu unlock from the market. It will unlock when you hit menu

That's exactly what happened to me all day today! I had it in my jeans pocket with the screen facing my leg! I thought it may have something to do with ADW Launcher, or having it in silent mode all day. I'm recalibrating the screen now!
Mucho Thanks!
Sometimes (about half the time now) when i try to unlock my screen the touch won't work. Some of these times (what was just occurring at first) it will unlock and then the screen will "jitter" and select random things while not responding to my touch, other times it just wont respond or do anything. Originally i thought that this was just a problem with the stock rom but i have boot strapped and flashed joker's new rom and it's still having the problem. Should i be contacting Motorola to gave them replace my phone?
Other info:
I have in pocket deselected.
RUNNING 198_7
Using widget locker, but i think it happens with out it
Launcher pro
Thanks for the help!
Edit:
So I figured out that the top left of my screen isn't level with the rest. When the problem starts to happen I turn off the screen, compress the top left corner and the problem is gone for half a day to a day. So... that's cool... at least it is still under warranty.
I found the it happened to my phone ALOT when connected via USB to the computer and after I cleaned the screen off with glass cleaner when I ran the multi-touch test for the 8-point touchmod.

I've seen it happen on my hero with bad usb cords but this is happening when not plugged in. I've also never used glass cleaner on it or the multi-touch test on the photon.

So I was using my phone and just set it down and it started freaking out and going into things before the screen even shut off. Should I check out the multi-touch thing to just see where my touch points are or can I do some type of calibration?

I haven't ever put 8 point touch on my phone. I could try to flash it though and see if that does anything.

I would up with a similar issue on my Evo, and I wound up having to get a new one. Not sure if the Photon is gonna be the same, but that was how my phone was sadly. Let us know if the eight point touch helps or not.
So everything looks fine on the multi-touch but i cant get the program up while my screen is freakin out so it kinda defeats the purpose. Jokers skinny 4g doesn't have 8 touch point mod correct?

No not that I know of.

So I got the multi up while it was freakin out. There was a point toward the top of the screen (the edge of the touch "disc" was touching the edge of the screen) that stayed where it was but just jittered left to right. The really weird part is that my second touch point could not go above it. This has to be a manufacturer flaw as far as I'm concerned so when I have time I'm going to call Motorola.

Its an issue with charging. Just unplug it if it gets annoyingly useless

I would agree as I've seen something similar with my Heroc. The problem is it happens all the time when it's unplugged... the micro USB could be haunted with an evil ghost charger... I'm not sure what the exercisium protcol is for that.

Yes I also face this type of problem while playing games. Screen become unresponsive while playing but can solve by pressing power button(no need to reboot).Not on 2.3.5 base only on 2.3.6.
I also face this problem, after updating my rom to arctic 2.0 rom, which uses some stuff from 2.3.6.....power does not help, have to hard reboot. any idea why?
I've had this problem happen to me on my Droid RAZR (CDMA Verizon), can't remember if its before or after I was rooted... I just had to hard restart and its only happened once since then.

The power button does not work for me
I had try to press the power button, but then the screen still not responding, so I cannot pass through the lock screen, and have to hard reboot......
I am on stock rom, 2.3.5, the Asian version.
But it seems it does not matter to different region's razr since the cdma one had the same issue

I get this too. I had 3 razrs, first two had dead pixels so I had them replaced, all had this issue. Has not happened in awhile and I can't remember if it was always with a game, but at least one time it was with a game. Anyway, I don't think this has to do with rooting because my first one I never rooted and it did this. Don't remember if power button worked or not, but I had to reboot as well with power and volume down, or up, whatever it is, to get it to respond again.
No problems here.
I have had this happen about 4 or 5 times for me as well - got it day of launch. Mine says it is the XT912 though - is that right?
XT912 is the Verizon specific one, so yes.
Seems to be a fairly common issue. What is the chance that this is a software problem as opposed to a hardware one and so will be fixed with an update?
I had it happen for the first time yesterday after about 5 weeks or so, strange cause I wasn't doing anything. Battery was at about 15% though...
I only encounter this bug when I open Rom Toolbox for the first time and the superuser permissions screen shows up. My screen doesnt respond to touch anymore. I have to use the power button to make it work. Thats it. It happens nowhere else.
I've been using ROM Toolbox since day one, can't say it's the issue.

Happened to me today...any need to panic?? On official Stock ROM 2.3.5...
Also, is this a hardware issue or software??
My problem is bit different, on a 4 month old unrooted razr.
Touch screen will start to fail recognizing my sywpe typing and start jumping all over the place, or it will end the word while I'm still sywping the word...
Sometimes it types in different letters (1/2 keyboard away) when I'm not sywping to avoid this BS when it happens.
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this result whenever I want to, I'm currently trying to reproduce the situation.
I believe this happens more often when my battery is low... or when I have been using it for an extensive time.
I go to draw program to test if it is the hardware problem and it is jumpy too, but not by much.
The problem does get better with reboot, but not 100% of the time, so I can't conclude it is SW problem
I also have issues with this. I think the problem is software side. It seems to be poorly responsive often after I unlock my phone and try to swipe screens.
Also while typing quickly with two hands it often does not input all the letters I type, although it flashes the keys and acknowledges that I touched them (this one might be a keyboard issues, not sure yet)
And ya, on an all black screen, I'm noticing some dead pixels- a lot of rectangular patches of dead pixels. I don't really notice it anytime else except when it's all black.
Been making me double think my choice, but I will wait for ICS update and possibly bootloader bypass. But.. I might be getting another phone shortly just because of the size (bezel mostly), these touch screen issues, and the performance isn't exactly where I anticipated it to be.
Razr XT910 touchscreen randomly jumping or not responding
I'm having all the problems mentioned earlier:
- touchscreen stops working randomly
- touch "jumps", like someone is touching it in random places
- some letters on the keybord stop working randomly
- phone gets quite hot at the top
My XT910 is not altered in any way, stock android 2.3.5, as updated as possible.
This happened when it was up-to-date and the very clean one.
This happens really irregularily. At first it happened when I played multitouch games - at some point the touchscreen just stopped responding and could only go back or lock the screen (but not unlock it, obviously).
Twice it happened when I was just going through messages or contacts.
I sent it to Motorola to fix it - they just reset it, benchmarked it for 45seconds and sent it back.
The very evening I got it back I tried to "heat" it myself - I installed a lot of apps, played a lot multitouch games on 3d graphic and voila! - it started freaking out like never before (vidoe in zip file attached).
My last idea is that it happens because of a low quality generic anti-scratch foil on the screen. So I threw it away and tried to "heat" the phone again - nothing.
I used a different foil - anti-reflecting + benchmarking apps - nothing.
If it happens again I'll send it with this video + the one I'll make then.
Hope it gets Motorola specialists off their ass and back to work .
Hey there, my maxx has this weird issue with it's screen too.
Take for example, a game with on screen controller like reckless racing. If i push the screen too long, it won't recognize my press anymore in the pressed area. I tried to go back home, thinking this is the game issue, but it's not, the home launcher button that coincidentally in the same location with game control button is unclickable. i tried with phone tester app and it show the same symptom, the pressed area indicator will disappear within 1-2 minutes.
The only solution is to turn off display and turn it on again. Should i bring it to service center?

Hello, I've recently having this exact same problems with my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
The screen sometimes doesn't respond as it should:
-Random touches.
-Not detecting swipes.
-Not detecting anything at all after long press.
-Detecting the touch location wrongly...
When this happens, sometimes a reboot fixes everything. Others, I just have to stop using the phone, and come back later.
Has anyone managed to find a possible cause and/or solution to this problem?
I've tried diferent roms, full reset, rsd flashes... But still the same problem
So I've into this issue lately where at the end of a call the touchscreen will become unresponsive. I basically have to wait for the other person to hang up and then the call to disconnect. Is there a way to force the phone to hang up without the touchscreen working? Or is there a reason why this is happening?
I've been experiencing the same thing. I switched from SOS to CM9 and that did the trick. I am just assuming that it was the launcher but not sure. What is your setup?

Finally!
I've been asking this same question over and over and no one seems to have the answer, it happens with a lot of GB phones. I'm running a ice cream rom and its still doing it, maybe when the screen starts going nuts bcz of facial moisture, who the f knows. But I hate it. Usually when people nowaways always want me to hang up 1st. Weird but true.
Mine's done this for awhile. Sometimes it happens in the middle of texting... But it has never happened while tapping away on FPSE or other video game emulators... Very odd.
I don't have this problem with my evo. However in my gs2 it was due to a proximity sensor. It just had some stuff over the sensor. After It was cleaned it worked as normal

Dont have anything special going on, on the phone, not using a custom rom or anything. I am using a Zagg screen protector but this issue is recent as of a few months ago and pretty sporadic.
This happens to me sometimes or also when texting th message thread scrolls to the top?? All I do is lock the screen then unlock and it works fine

Are you using any lockscreen app's?

It's from the skin moisture that's left on the screen after you have finished speaking(especially if you speak for a long time).This issue also appears when it's raining on your phone(not heavy rain,just some drops will make it go crazy).I have tested it and after I have cleaned it with my shirts everything was normal.
This is the reason why it doesn't happen while playing/browsing or other stuff(cuz the screen is not wet).
This is the reason why I usually try to keep the phone a little far from the ear.Especially in hotter seasons.
I've had this issue on my 3D as well, I have a feeling it has something to do with the proximity sensor, but I don't feel like opening the phone up now.
then use bluetooth and you won't have this issue.
Got 2 issues recently. I havent changed the rom or anything since this started, just happen out of nowhere. Im using nottatrix rom? (Forgot how to spell it).
Anyway issue is the fingerprint reader for whatever reason acts like its being swiped for no reason, it will be locked (and sleeping) and when I push the fingerprint button to wake it up, it will vibrate and say 'invalid fingerprint' or whatever, like 6 or seven times in a row and Im not even touching the fingerprint reader when this is happening. The fingerprint reader doesn't look dirty fyi. I usually bypass the problem by using unlock pin.
Second issue is I have a Motorola car dock for the phone, and sometimes when I take it out of the dock, the phone will still think the dock is still connected and will actually have a charging icon. Its annoying because when someone calls and I answer it goes straight to speaker phone (like if it was in the car). Any tips or hints would be awesome!.
Thanks for the support,

I'd recomend a FULL syatem wipe/ reinstall and see if that helps
I was thinking about doing that but seeing ICS is right around the corner im going to wait.
