Touchscreen scare... - Motorola Droid RAZR

All of a sudden my touchscreen quit working while customizing my ADW themes and lasted almost 10 minutes then magically started working again. Is there a way to do a soft/hard power reset? When I had my D2G all I had to do was slide out my keyboard and press although, shift delete.

Power and volume down for eight secs to manually power off. Miner does this randomly too. And it powers on and off so quickly that restarting isn't a problem.

Cool deal I was doing the totally opposite, up volume and power. Thanks for your response.

I've had the same happen to me with LP pro on my Photon, and now my RAZR. My theory is that blur doesnt play well with 3rd party launchers. I've been able to shut down with the touchscreen though. Strange that it completely craps out on you...

Phone freezes/lockups

Has anyone had a problem with this? Since I got my 3vo two days ago I've had it freeze twice and i had to do a battery pull each time, I also just had my phone not be able to wake up, tried holding the power button down because I thought maybe it shut down randomly but nothing would happen. I ended up doing a battery pull, is anybody else having trouble?
Also, Apps like launcher pro and music beta seem to be lagging...

Do the capacitive buttons turn on and off? when you press the power button.
No they didn't

Mine did that last night. Had to do a battery pull. Any thing significant about the capcitive buttons coming on and off only when hitting the power button?

I had this exact issue and I had to do a 30 day exchange, sprint tech support said it was hardware issues.

Mine did that, the capacitive buttons came on and off but the screen didn't, sometimes they wouldn't i made an exchange, i have a strong feeling it's hardware related, so I would recommend you exchange.
Mine has had this problem since day one but ever since I started traveling internationally and running it in airplane mode with the WiFi left on, I can't get it to crash!!! Now the only thing that's bothering me is the camera freezing after taking a shot. I don't know why the phone has decided to play nice, the only big change besides the airplane mode business is that I uninstalled Text Battery Widget.

Vibrate is too weak?

Just bought one but the haptic feedback vibrate when I press the touch key like home button is too weak and keyboard as well.
Any1 have the same issue? Any solution?

Mines exactly the same, prefer it to be softer

As a usar of CM7 on the Atrix, I know it (and some other ROMs for other phones) have the setting of how long the haptic feedback lasts. Take note, what you are experiencing isn't a "week", feedback, it's a short one, as phones don't really have the possibility of calibration in it's strenght.
Maybe future ROMs for the razr will enable this configuration...
My vibrate is weak too, was going to go to Verizon today to see if it is defective.
When a text or call come in it seems more like a fast jiggle than a hard vibrate...also when typing I can barely feel a vibrate at all (it is turned on)
Is this normal?
I see lots complaining about this. Remember the more vibrations it's going to drain battery faster. Personally I never used haptic feedback till now, the softer vibration is nice to me.

I have a feeling thats just how it is cause mine is too. Keep in mind it's a skinny phone!
Mine vibrates well but is a fairly loud noise when vibrating.

Mine seems to have enough vibration feedback, but what doesn't work is the "screen press sound" I called Verizon tech support for the heck of it just to hear what they would say, and told me I could exchange it. Anyone else having this issue?
A lot of this thread has pertained to haptic feedback, but what about regular vibrate notifications when the phone is in silent mode. My phone barely does anything at all. Even when I'm holding it in my hand it barely vibrates compared to the GSII or iPhone.
Is this just the way it is, or is mine defective?
I've literally missed every single call, text, and email that have come in. This is the only thing keeping me from loving this phone, but I have to say, it's a dealbreaker if I can't have the phone in silent mode and still know when something comes in.
I actually prefer the amount of haptic feedback the RAZR provides. I didn't much care for the keyboard feedback, but that was fixed with SwiftKey. Like Bond32 said, less vibration, less battery usage!

Razr touch screen randomly not responding

I had my razr for about 2 weeks, and this problem already happen to me a few times.
The touch screen will suddenly not responding to ANY touch, only the the buttons are still working(include the 4 buttons on the bottom).

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

Multitouch problems?

Hello everyone, i just wanted to ask anyone if this is on all phones or just the droid razr? i am having some multitouch problems - when i play games ( fps games to be exact ) when i keep pressing the left stick to run and keep pushing my fingers on the other side of the screen to turn my right fighter sometimes start controlling the left side of the screen, where i have my left finger placed ( or the other way around ). is this normal? because this is somewhat irating at times thanks.
I have the same issue
Sliced from my proud Greek RAZR
can anyone tell me if this is just on droid razr or all the phones?
Problem only arises during my RAZR is plugged!! Usually no issue.
No multi touch problem on my nexus s!

I've seen several reports of screen "bugginess" while plugged in. Most of the reports attribute it to 3rd party chargers but I'm not 100 percent sure that it doesn't also occur with the stock charger. Bottom line is for this phone, screen control when plugged into a wall charger is known to cause some devices to behave erratically.

Power button issue

For those who think there power button is broken because they push the button a ton of times..
Its not broken!! Its just a delay push it once and wait it will turn on it takes about 5 secs my brothers take 10 secs..
If it doesn't turn after a minute make sure your cover button is actually hitting the soft phone button, after you do all that then yes there's a problem with your hardware

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my screen didn't immediately turn on when I hit the power button I'd consider it not working properly and warranty it.

I come from the 1st mytouch 3g platform.
For us this was normal, as some devs delayed the power process on purpose for roms on gb,
I could be wrong but I know that when my phone was stock it booted quick after I went with ics and s-off my boot was delayed it varies from rom to rom for me.

True but I'm just saying that I think its normal, to have a bit of a delay now if the phone literally does nothing at all after a few seconds then that's a problem

I had this problem but fixed it with a piece of tape (black electrical tape) over the power button inside the case.
I got a new cover under warranty...didn't fix the issue,
Got a new battery which didn't fix the issue but it did fix the reboots and shutdowns.
Changed back to energy. ( don't know if this did it)
I know the button does work inside the case but I felt like taking a hammer to the button.
What happened is the plastic cover over the button gotten thin over the time by pressing the button so many times.
Now it works flawlessly. Well i guess the until the tape or the plastic cover thins more.
Now i'm loving my Amaze once again and won't be selling it for half the price anytime soon
I use volume buttons to wake phone turns on instantly with power button just have to press it kind of hard but with volume buttons not the case
I'm talking about like if your phone is turned off.. and you hit the power button to turn it back on it lags,
