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!
Hi,
Anybody having issues with the webtop application while using the laptop dock and their mouse freezing while using the firefox application. Its really annoying. I have to remove the phone from the dock and put it back for it to start working again. This happens only with the mouse, everything else works... such as the keys.
I've seen this problem before while testing some other things on the webtop and figured it was my BT mouse. Control from the touchpad that the atrix turns into when in webtop mode seemed fine though. I'll see if I can figure out what's causing this.
Stupid question, but a possibility.
When you double click the corner of the touchpad, it turns if off. There is a small indicator light in the upper left. Is this on or off when it freezes?
If it is off, try double tapping that corner to turn it back on.

Hey jkrohn,
thanks for your help but I already checked the basics, obviously the light is on because the touchpad is on but when it freezes the light is still on and does not respond to the double touch.. like I said correctly it freezes...
I gues you have not experienced this huh..
No, luckily I haven't experienced it.
The only time I had a freeze was after about an hour of watching hulu.
I had this problem, but I didn't know about the double click option for tuning it on and off. I fixed it by undocking and redocking the phone. I'll have to keep an eye on this next time. I don't think I double clicked the light on the touch pad at all when this last happened, because I never tap the touch pad area.
mine has once or twice. I closed the lid and reopened it and it fixed itself.
I'm hoping there's a software update/bug fix to speed webtop up, and fix the track pad.
Yes mine does it all the time in firefox, i have mine on a uk orange brand with latest updates. How do we go about updating the lapdock? Any fix woul be great as its very annoying.
Thanks
Paul
hi, guys...i have the same problem got a 200$ laptop dock from amazon and my touchpad move around to different area especially to corners of the screeen when the firefox is open. This is really annoying....I have Aura 1.1.3 build 8 with 2.3.4 webtop fixed image [CWM Install] V1 . So much money spent on this phone.....
Moisture?
My trackpad sucks too, and the mouse freezes once in a while, but for me it's usually when I get something on it like if I took a drink of my soda can and had some moisture on my finger, and then touch it. That's when it starts bouncing around all funny and sometimes not moving. Solution is obviously just wiping off the pad with your shirt, or any other absorbent material for that matter... I really did write this in hopes that it would help, but reading it back now almost feels like a waste of space. Oh well, good luck with your trackpad!
I am having the same issue and I just received one from AT&T. Is there a current fix for this?
Today my Atrix 4G started acting like a ghost was controlling it. It can be just sitting there with the display on, and somt part of the screen will be pressed and a program started. I have Elixir 2 buttons, Multicon buttons, and the regular app buttons installed on the display by the basic ATT controls. All three have had buttons "pressed" in a seemingly random way. I have rebooted several times. The phone is quite unusable.
Then I also get my regular reboot problem. The phone will be fine all day, but at some point, it just starts rebooting every 2 minutes. The little LED in the upper right corner turns often purple (it is usually green.) I get the process stopped message a lot then, too. It happens even if it is fully charged.
Part of your problem can be after having widgets on screen if you then froze the program which is for the widget the widget remains but as a ghost. You don't see it but its there. I had this issue with something like beautiful widgets and it played hell with my phone. Just a thought.

No wifi, nothing frozen
I have not frozen any programs. It happened after several reboots. I also did not have wifi turned on.
Thanks for your suggestions

I have this issue too, but it happens at random times and I can stop it by turning the screen off then on.
I think it might be the digitizer going bad.

Mine was accompanied by dead zones. I had to rotate the phone to get certain spots and keys on the keyboard to register. Sometimes pressing a spot on the lower left side registered on the upper right.
When I finally replaced the digitizer, I found the left side ribbon had detached and was being held in place by pressure. if the ribbon moved around, it caused spurious connections. I even had one ROM install itself with the Aroma installer because it kept thinking I was hitting the "next" button.
Digitizer replacement fixed.
Will replace phone, need to copy old phone to new
I think my phone needs a new digitizer. The wty expires in a week, so I'm going to a service center tmw. Thanks to all who made these useful suggestions.
Do I need to unroot it before I return it?
Do you know how to ghost my old phone to my new one?
I noticed today when i woke up i cannot press the right side of the screen and get any kind of response. It is only about a thumbs with of the right edge but this prevents me from being able to hit send on text messages on the default messaging app and also on go sms as the send buttons are in the same general location. Is my phone just FUBAR or is there some way i can resolve the issue. Have tried power cycling and thats about it. I guess i need to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue and if there is any way to find out and fix the problem.
I've been having the same issue actually. In the bottom right corner, anyway.
Like when I go to attach a picture to a text message, I have to hit the text box first so the paperclip button is out of the corner. I've also had some trouble unlocking with the camera or touching it from the Navbar, where it's positioned in the bottom right corner. :/

I have similar issues with that when my phone is plugged in. And my acreen often locks up kinda with the last image on the screen being the only thing you see until you reset.

I don't think I've had an image stuck to my screen yet. I have this problem even if it isn't plugged in, which is really strange. Not sure why it's so unresponsive, takes several tries to unlock/select.
And kudos for being in Portland too! :good:
Have either of you found a consistent way around the problem or a way to resolve it? Also are you running the phone in the base state that you bought it in or is it rooted / unlocked?
I just tested my phone, by opening the browser to google.com (mostly white background), all around the edge of the screen. And I can see feedback animations for all my touches around the edge of the screen. So I don't think there is any problem with the touch digitizer, at least on my phone. Phone is still stock, rooted and TWRP.
I have touch animation when I touch the bottom right corner on the lockscreen, but it doesn't always drag/ripple out. Sometimes it acts like I've pulled my finger off so I have to do it again.
Rooted, unlocked, stock.
After touch responsiveness got increasingly worse i contacted AT&T and they are sending me a free replacement since these issues seem to be covered under the one year warranty. Just throwing that out there in case anyone else gets as frustrated with the problem as I have and cant find a permanent fix.
I can confirm that I am having very similar problems... it is getting worse.
I am stock rooted and unlocked.
It is getting harder and harder to press things, fling actions (like scrolling through a list) hardly move a thing.
I just installed a multitouch visualizer and whenever I have 2 fingers on the screen and then go to cross them (start with fingers in opposite corners, move one up and the other down until they pass each other in the middle) it actually loses both fingers and then sometimes only one pops up again on the screen.
Can anybody try an app like this Play Store Link.
I've had similar results with 2 other multitouch testers.
Is it my phone, or everybody's?
----EDIT-----
Figured I would install the Base ROM (7.0>7.3) because either it was a software issue and maybe the ROM would fix it, of it was a hardware issue (I really didn't think it should be acting like that) and I would try to get it replaced.
The Base ROM fixed my issue (for now, fingers crossed).
Now using a multitouch visualizer, the contact points are always seen, even when the fingers cross.
Don't know what caused it, but it was software (at least for me).
----EDIT----
Just plugged in the charger again... now the touchscreen is acting strange again... this phone does strange things when plugged in...
This has been happening more often the past week or so.
I'm running the late-December-2012 "Energy ROM" release, and from time to time the touchscreen goes all wonky on me. It seems random but is happening more often as time goes on.
I can, for example, tap to open my Gmail account, but then holding my finger down in one spot in the message list will cause it to scroll down, scroll up, select and deselect different messages - sometimes when I tap on a message it registers somewhere else altogether.
I did apply a Skinomi skin not too long ago, so I'm wondering also if it's interfering somehow. I thought it was lotion having come off my hand once, mimicking another finger, but now it happens even when totally dry.
Anyone else find this one?
Thanks,
R
Is it plugged in or laying on a wire that is plugged in?

It is plugged in when it happens - I generally leave it plugged in at home - but not always.
Unless you count 'plugged in' as in, attached to the dock.
I pulled off and replaced the skin yesterday, I think I did a better job on the 2nd time through.

sometimes being plugged in to power source from wall or laying on a wire that has power to it will cause touchscreen to be erratic. get it away from power it will be fine.

This has started happening for me aswell at random. I don't have any skin on it or plugged in. Do you know if I can send it to ASUS to see about repairing it even though I have unlocked the bootloader?

Well - with a sample size of one, this seems to work.
I was having trouble scrolling through a large list of items, it was jumping all over - I unplugged the dock from the wall charger, and it smoothed right out.
So - thanks to whycali again!
