Bad digitizer. My OG Droid did that.
Don't think it'd be covered under manufacturer's warranty due to it not being a defect. But you can try.

Bad digitizer sounds like faulty hardware to me? I would think if that's the case it would be covered under warranty.

It's possible but more likely is caused by being dropped or hit.

That is not true! The digitizer can fail for any reason. Call vzw and let them know. My wife got one and it did the touch screen crap b4 she even finished typing her gmail addy at the store. Factory reset may work if it is just corrupted.

Yeah it can just burn out in the T-bolt. Send it back after returning to factory settings, you will be golden.

I've been having touchscreen issues that I believe is related to the pds partition, is flashing the fix dangerous? The thread says i'll lose some unique information that's tied to my phone, a mac address for one. I know what it is, but will this end up screwing me over in the long run? The screen going crazy is really annoying...

I dont for sure, the symptoms just fit. the screen goes crazy like I'm touching everywhere and then just stops working, i have to turn the screen on and off four to five times for it to start working. It might be the digitizer, but i don't want to have to change it out unless I have to...

OK so recently my phone has not woken up from when it is unlocked. I've tried waiting and I've tried pressing it harder, multiple times etc, but nothing happens. I just end up resorting to a battery pull. This has just been starting this past week. I am running stock gingerbread no root. Should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this with their note?

i guess no one else has this issue?
If you are running stock without root and you have this issue then you should be concerned. Does a battery pull fix it? Do you have some memory hogging apps running in the background? Have you tried a factory reset? All else fails contact ATT for a replacement.

What exactly you want with this thread? If your digitizer is broken, buy another and replace it
Sent from my MB860
Try this link. It's a weird fix that might work. If not you'll just have to buy a new digitizer and replace it.

Highly doubt it. Atrix 4G is known for having issues with the digitizer. I myself have a dead stripe vertically too. Let us know how it goes tough.

Same here. I upgraded to a new phone. I was hoping I would be able to stick with Motorola, but nope.
At some point I'll probably drop $30 on the new digitizer and try to resurrect it.

Im thinking the same thing. Im going to buy something used though. Maybe a S2 or something. Only requisites are that it must have official ICS and great dev support.

Couple of question:
1) Did you replaced the digitizer yourself?
2) Where you bought it?
3) Was it hard to replace?
4) How much it costed?

Just get a new phone. There's still a chance that the replacement digitiZer won't work either.

The digitizer is super easy to replace.
I used ifixit.com's teardown and was able to figure out everything I needed. In fact I was actually replacing a water damaged lcd but I had to tear the phone down in exactly the same way. 20 minute job for someone with almost no experience inside of electronic devices.

Possibly a hardware fault, you may have to take it to a store. But are you using a custom ROM? If yes, can you give more details?
This happened quite in surprise I was watching a video in YouTube with the charge cable connected and suddenly the screen went crazy and then the problem a started.
It works at time but not all

Are you on the stock ROM? Or have you rooted the device and installed a custom ROM?

There is a section on your problem. Many of us have it. Seems to be the screen protector causing it.

Just fyi, I have a screen protector on and I have no problems with the buttons. HOWEVER, when using a custom kernel, I have sensitivity issues and unresponsiveness issues. So take that for what it's worth.
