I just recently bought an Atrix 4G off a friend for 50 bucks so I'm not complaining at all.
This phone went through hell, I couldn't stand looking at the back cover it was so abused, I ended up buying a new one along with a battery. Now my only problem; the digitizer has an area of the screen, goes from the home key all the way up the screen, that isn't responsive and sometimes causes the screen to tweak out and select random things and sometimes goes completely unresponsive until i lock/unlock the phone again. Also the back and home keys are really hit or miss when they work. I just ordered a new digitizer and it should be here this week, I'm curious if this will fix it. Also I plan on replacing or removing the screen anyways since the ffc somehow has dust on the inside of the lens Anyway to prevent this in the future with this phone?
You wouldn't have happened to position your internal drive? If so, sounds like pds issue. Relatively easy to fix with moto fastboot. Google search pds fix Atrix

I haven't messed with any of that, the most I've done is flashed Neutrino EE rom. Which is also giving me issues, but since I'm new to this board I cannot complain about it yet. I'll give the fastboot a try.
Would one for gingerbread work for my rom, I don't want to brick my phone

So did that link work?
It's definitiely the neutrino rom. My phone has been working fine for ever and I flashed Neutrino and sure enough, same issue you are having. Now flashing any other rom has not fixed it. I'm going to try this partition fix when i'm at home, can't do fastboot at work.
Interesting. I just ran into this exact issue. I already ordered a new digitizer. I did flash Neutrino EE a while ago but only kept it for a day. I have a hard time believing the ROM will cause it. Might try that PDS fix but I'm afraid of any unwanted side effects. I thought I remember to never mess with the PDS.
I don't think it has to do with anything software related. I had this problem before and did my researching, turns out a lot of people encounter these issues. Even with stock roms, people that had never even rooted their phone. Screen wise this phone is a piece of ____. Had to exchange mine and now this new one is starting to act up again.

well here is the pdsfix.img if ya want to try it http://db.tt/mRStSurc
save to Root of sdcard not in any folder
then
to install use Android terminal emulator
type
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/pdsfix.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
then hit enter
it should then read somthing like this
4096+0 records IN
4096+0 records out
2097152 bytes transfered in 2.746 secs (763711 bytes/sec)
then reboot and then ya should
be good as new
i have used it 3x now it works!
and yes the last time was when i was running neutreno rom g+ then wiped
and went back to darkside and thats when it messed up for me
THIS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IF ;
all your touch buttons on the phone
dont work AT ALL the keyboard work but
doesnt type Write when you touch a spcific letter
Also cant open anything like app drawer/settings / You lost your boot.img
and it was replaced with 14 differnt options. and a battery pull or fastboot -w and flashing a new rom didnt work!
PDS fix did nothing. Thanks for the suggestion though. Hoping the digitizer takes care of it whenever it arrives from Hong Kong.
It's not the Neutrino rom, it had this problem before hand when the phone was stock and unrooted.
So the pds did NOTHING. I replaced the screen and all my home keys work great now, the vertical line of nothingness turned horizontal towards the top of the screen AND my phone gets locked into a black screen when I make calls now??? What the hell??? This is really starting to piss me off.

are ya still running a neutreno rom
cause sometimes when i made a call
the screen would like go to sleep and wouldnt wakeup till they hung up or i rebooted its a issue a few people were haveing in the dev thread of neutreno
but it could be a cm7 weekly issue too
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Yeah I'm still on board with Neutrino, it seems to run a lot smoother than stock, it's the only other rom I've tried. I really like it.
It's defiantly the screen... When I'm in a call and it's locked into the black screen and I push the screen down into the phone it unlocks from the call.
I also tried the pdsfix from terminal and it didn't work.
Sometimes it wont even turn the screen off now........
as soon as u connect to a call
push the home button it your screen timeout is low like. ,30 try 2 min
but when in a call dont leave the dailer open backout to the homesceen should work "untill the phone gos to sleep.
and my pds issue didnt arise till
i flashed back to a blur rom (darkside)
it could have neen my fault too cause it was late on newyears eve and flashing roms and taquila dont mix IMHO, :sly:

The phone will still lock itself...
Is the Atrix 2 any better of a phone because I could care less about the fingerprint scanner and the docks.
well in my opinion the atrix 2 Not in anyway better it almost seems worse(not much because its still an atrix
because The main selling points of the atrix is the dual core processer and the fingerprint scanner)
well i can confirm
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvic
and flash eather the stable cm7
build or a lite blur rom
WILL correct this issue :screwy:
I'll give it a try, and suggested lite blur roms... I really dont like motoblur at all its crap
I'm just looking for something that runs smoothly and has good battery life.
And so far I really like everything about the atrix, exactly what I want.. just these screen and call issues make me want to grab another phone....

This sucks... out of the blue my touch screen went all kinds of screwy on me. I'm gonna list everything that is going wrong...
1. When sending a text I can see the letters along the bottom of the keyboard scrolling back and forth really fast, as if I'm dragging my finger across it.
2. When on any of the home screens, it's acting like I'm pinching it, like the new sense screen selector thing keeps zooming in and out but I can't select anything.
3. I can't select items on any of the home screens, it is action like I have my palm resting on it or something...
4. When I select something on a menu, it acts like the input is a couple of inches below my finger (i.e. I select power off, it selects turn off mobile network)
If I press the power button to turn off the screen, I can press it again and ulock it, I have full functionality for about 5 seconds, then it freaks out again. This seems to be consistent, however annoying to have to do this all the time to send a text message.
This first happened while using the latest ChronosDroid ROM (CronosDroid_2.1.2), I reflashed with VillainROM 12.0.0 twice, and once with the newer RCMixV10, the symptoms are the same accross all ROMs, the only similarities is that they're all v 2.1 with Sense. I did a wipe of everything before each install.
I am going to try going back to v2.0 with some other ROM (probably SenseHERO-2.1-090610-B5, cuz I liked that interface...) I'll post back if that fixes it... If it doesn't, what can I do? I really like this phone, I hope it's not busted...
***Edit***
Purchased new digitizer and replaced it, all is back to normal.
I had this problem with cronos froyo, wiped everything and flashed fusion rom 6.1.1 and hey presto, everything was fine. Try it it may work for you aswell if not, something more sinister may be at work :$

I'll give that a try. I had flashed to that version before to test it out, but that was before the screen was all messed up. I used the hard OCed version to 710, I'll try the SOC version this time and see if I have better luck.
I did flash with the aforementioned sense hero, and it is still a little bit messed up, but it doesn't seem as bad... I wonder if the OC from the Froyo is partly to blame. This is just so random... That is the only link I can think of. If the Fusion 6.1.1 is the cause, how can I make sure the CPU is back at it's default frequency? I never use any OC tools...
K, response is a little better but still jacked. I think I have a nand backup thing from before I installed Froyo, I've never had to restore a backup before, is it a bad idea to restore a backup from v2.1 on a 2.2 ROM? Or should I restore the backup and reflash to something else?
Restoring to a 2.1 from 2.2 will be fine mate, which Rom is the 2.1 you have as nandroid restore?

Unfortunately this is a hardware problem. I have the same problem and after searching for a solution, I understand that this is something about display's touch part and you have to return it to HTC to change it.
In my country there is no valid HTC center and I cannot trust lcal repair shops so I have to deal with it and change my beloved hero in near future.
But for now, after installing different ROMs I find out that the best keyboard is default HTC sense keyboard and I dont know why. Currently I've installed Froydvillain 1.2.2 and use HTC_mod keyboard and it almost works for me with a bit struggle.

Just do this yourself. You can buy the touch window off eBay for £25, and replacing it will take 20 minutes - see youtube for videos.
Have had same problems which then lead to the bottom 1/2 to 1cm of my screen becoming completely unresponsive. I managed to get my screen back to perfect working order without replacing it at all as this seems to be caused by the screen slightly coming away from the frame.
I detailed how i sorted it in this thread:-
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7710742&postcount=99
I had this problem with CMH-1.4.3 (Vanilla). I did a nand restore to VR12 but the same happened. Then I realised that the screen was a little up from his "standard" position let's say, if the screen is normally like this
______ <-screen
mine was slightly up (diagonally) at the top
_____-
I pressed the two upper corners of the screen with my fingers and everything went back to normal
Try this first, and then if you want, the Hairdryer solution
to all guys having the same issue, did you guys try to fully wipe & re partition your sdcard? try it & let see it still having same issue. best try do a clean flash of rom.

Interesting indeed. I did not see that my screen was raised at all. I have formatted, used a new microSD thinking it could be anything. When the screen goes wonky, I can set it on the table and it will continue to type in random characters until I hit the power button.
This isn't isolated to one area of the screen though, and pressing the phone together making sure the screen isn't raised does nothing to fix it. I think the digitizer is just going on vacation. Laying it down, it will keep typing in letters, if I hover my finger about 1 cm from the screen it will sense that my finger is there and interrupt the auto imput fuction that has been enabled, but doesn't stop it permanantly until I press the power button and unlock it again, then it all starts over.
I've taken the device apart and reseated everything and it didn't help. I think I'm going to take a chance and order a new digitizer from eBay. I really like this phone, don't want to have to get a new one.

Ah, thank you. Again wasn't sure if this was a bug in the rom, or I screwed up the hardware or something.
On a lighter note, I ordered a new digitizer from eBay for $65, got it in today and replaced it and it's back to 100% functionality!!!! w00t!! Thank you all for your help and suggestions, XDA is the best thing to hit mobile phones since the wheel! I'll update the title of the first post to notate that it is fixed.
Hi first of all sorry about my English.
Ok my phone has an at&t froyo i just install superuser, slide loading, the weptop hack and the sim unlocked.
I'm using spb 3d launcher and every time i do a restart it seems that the spb it's working on his on, if a let it awake charging some times it's go to some shortcut like if i press it but i didn't (that didn't bother me too much ).
but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.
Please help any one
I reset my phone and still the same parts of the screen does not respond and the screen start shaking and doing thing uncontrol.
Please could be sw or is the hardware and i need to change the phone.
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Not sure what the problem could be.....there's a girl I know who's had similar problems, I'll ask her or put you in touch with her. Sounds like yer digitizer?

I am having the same issue, this was on CM7 only flashed yesterday and then I tried to restore my backup rom and this has the same issue??
Hope someone can sort out the problem.
It sounds like a hardware problem in which you should;
A) buy a whole new screen and install it (they will give you the tools to take it apart)
B) Send it back to Motorola if you haven't voided your warranty by unlocking the phone
or
C) this is a long shot as I do think it is hardware related, you should try this fix just to be sure that it is a hardware problem. Mind you this will do nothing more than refresh the .pds file that affects the touchscreen. Touchscreen fix!
definetly sounds like a broken digitizer to me
I have taken my phone in for repair(Not a official MOTO repairer) and I just got a phone call, he believes it is a software issue? I am not convinced, because I have tried 4 different roms? He said he is going to format/wipe phone. I told him I have installed roms to replace software and I thought that this would wipe/replace software problem?
Anyway I guess, I will found out if it sorts out the random screen movement and widget press?

I got the phone back yesterday, all working ok.
I quickly broke it again by trying to install a stock rom and then root it, but it introduced the same random screen/widget issues(I tried wipe/format, but no good?). I then install 2 custom rom, CM7 and Aura and I still had problems, then I install HomeBase and problem has been sorted. Have no idea why it fixed the issue just happy it is fixed. Just to have refrain from installing other roms......for now anyway

I spoke to soon, last night it started the random screen judder and random widget pressing.....
I am not sure what is going on....I've had the phone for about 12 days now(second hand from eBay) and for the first 4-5 days the phone was fine. I then installed CM7 and for about 12-24 hours the phone was ok. Then the random screen/widget issues happened. Did many, many wipe's/formats of various roms and all these issue occurred more or less straight away.
Then I installed HomeBase and for about 6-8 hours, all was ok until lastnight. I guess it is either new motherboard time or new phone time....
For about 4 days now my screen has been acting up and giving me quite the annoyance. It initially started while i was on Deck's "gbsense-e3d-deck [1.0]" ROM. I wiped cache and dalvik then re flashed the ROM twice but the screen kept malfunctioning. I was forced to perform a factory reset and re flash a new downloaded file of the same ROM which fixed nothing. I wanted to see if it was a ROM specific issue so i flashed CyanogenMod 7 VALPHA3 and the issue was still present but to a much less annoying degree. Now it seems as if my device doesnt register touch around the midsection. That makes me unable to select anything that may be in that area. I have tried multiple multitouch apps and testers to "diagnose" what is going on with my touch screen, but all i can gather is that my screen might be ****ed. The phone works flawlessly excluding the touch screen's unresponsive zone, so i don't know whether it's a hardware or software issue. Any insight concerning this matter is welcomed, Thanks.
I have attached a video demonstrating my screen while using the app "multitouch paint"

Could it be a ground issue? Try holding the phone in your hand and see if it still does it. I remember my OG Evo having a similar problem when I laid it on something non conductive.

It occurs both while in hand or on a surface. An example is if i pull down the notification bar, depending what hits the affected zone, i'm unable to select it. I used SBM quite often and now when drawing for example a straight line up it would look like this _____________ __________ (vertically of course) the gap being my speculated affected area but much wider.

Is it possible that both of the roms you tested are using the same kernel? I would swap out the kernel with the stock one just in case. At least it'll rule it out lol.

I'd take it one step further and return completely to stock, if it STILL does it, then I would guess it's a problem with the digitizer and you would either have to buy a replacement one, or take it to Sprint. If you don't have TEP then HTC's warranty should suffice.
Possibly related?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267124
It looks similar to this issue, but you are getting it with a single touch instead of with a multitouch. I get EXACTLY the same thing if I use a second tap while drawing a line. Try "multitouch visualizer 2" from the market and see if it registers one tap that is on all the time or if you can actually get the full 4 touches at once. I doubt it will be insighful, but it can't hurt--and if you have an "always on" (perhaps in the button area below the screen) then you know the digitizer is bad.
If it is the same issue, try restarting and give it time. Mine has gone from happening often to happening about 1% of the time. It is software and can be "corrected" by either time or a restart. It is WORST on the first boot after flashing something (even JUST a stock kernel). I have absolutely no idea why.
Good luck. I hate this junk. My Evo 4G never had this sort of glitchy garbage, but, whatever it is, it is likely due to HTC's glitchy kernel!

I would also like to know whats going on.. I have two evo's 3d and my friend was telling me that he is having issue with the touchscreen he is still on stock... and my was rooted the same day I got it and has no issues.. He mentioned that the same area mentioned in this thread is the are affected in his phone... could this be cause by the screen digitizer??
Ignore this... Thought I found what my issue was... But wasn't the case
I had the same problem but it only seemed to be in one horizontal strip of my screen. Im not sure what caused it maybe its from me dropping it or what. I also did try to flash other roms and kernals but still no fix so i said to myself im going to put it back to stock and take it to sprint. There they looked it for about 2 minutes and deemed it was a hardware issue. The guy asked if i had a warranty. Two days later i received a refurbished phone.
So in all revert it back to stock... search on htcevohacks . com
Take it back to sprint and show them your problem. They should also deem it as a hardware issue and send you a replacement

Ok guys, i have serious problems here..
I just installed viper rom last night and everything works normally in about 3 hours until i restored my apps by titanium backup then my screen goes blank with capatitive button lights on
But everything seems to work, i turn off screen then turn on again i can feel vibrate for unlock screen. even i got some calls i can accept that. but my screen is full black.
Tried to turn off power, go to bootloader and my screen still black. huh. i push vol down button one time to go to recovery mode and it works, my phone vibate once again.
I hope this is not hardware problems bcz i live in Indonesia and htc Indonesia wont accept my phone to be repaired. Anyone had this issue before?
Thanks before..
For info what i did before:
Flash viper rom
Flash de sense script
Flash swipe to clear
boot normally for some hours until titanium backup process make this thing happens.. :-(
I'm guessing its either swipe to clear or tb that screwed your phone up. Since swipe to clear deals with the screen I'm leaning towads that. Also in your tb backup you restored did you have the ponury gesture app ??? Henceforth you should try a full wipe, if you have a superwipe zip I'd recommend flashing it. Then wipe cache,data,davlik-cache. Then either restore a nand or flash a fresh rom without any mods and see if the issue remains. Also if you restore with tb only restore app not apps+data. Also what rom were you running??

i mean everything is works but screen is black. i cant see anything also bootloader and recovery mode. but i believe its works.
go to bootloader by holding vol down and power 5 second then prress vol down then power it boots to recovery mode, i know bcz my phone was vibrate one time, but screen is black.
im on hboot 1.5 so i tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" and my phone vibrate again. i know my phone works normally except the screen is blank.
im using twrp 1.0.3
if the screen is dead why i can stiil recieve call and turn on hotspot?? (i know place of hotspot toggle in quick setting, 2nd row)..
really appreciate all helps..
i feels like on evo 3d blind mode now..
If you're in Indonesia, I'm guessing you have a gsm phone.viperROM is cdma. You'll have to flash a gsm ROM. Your screen issues are probably due to kernel issues.

no, my phone is cdma unlocked with local network. thats why htc wont accept my phone, they just accept all gsm evo 3d that officially launch here.
anyone can help? please..
It sounds like LCD is bad. The digitizer is good still. You will probably have to order one on eBay and fix it yourself. Sorry man

It is the lcd screen. I have a coworker who has the same issue. Can answer calls, but screen dead. You will have to replace the lcd. There are guides and videos on here, so it shouldn't be to hard.

Hi all im having a interesting problem with my touch screen. Infact im not sure its the touch screen or a software bug really. Im runing a Droid X2 with Eclipse 2.2.1 now. Th problem started out when i was texting it would suddenly stop sensing the text keys i was touching. If i locked the screen and re opened it the problem stopped then the problem suddenly only started affecting the send button. and the odd thing is when i changed to swype entry it started working. I sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and the problemed seemed to go away. Then i rooted saved with voodoo root keeper updated to 2.3.5 418 build then restored root and cleared data and loaded eclipse 2.2.1. I belive at this point the problem was fixed then i reloaded all my apps with titanium backup and then suddenly the problem reocored. I went into manage appas and went yo multi touch input app and cleared the data but that didnt fix it any sugjestions? Ps im still not 100% sure its not a harware problem but i think its software.
Wipe and call Verizon to get a new phone. Had same problem but it would happen about 5-20 times a day and no I'm not kidding in fact some days it was worse then 20. Its a bad digitizer. Not software related. I had it on froyo, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5 all rooted and not rooted, on eclipse and a few other roms that I liked. Nothing will fix it and it will get worse. But from all my experience all Droid x2 have a bad screen in one form or another. I went through 3 Droid x2 and all of them had a bad screen.
A fun little experiment to try and I suggest all owners of dx2 should try is call tech support but don't talk to any one just try selecting options and or speaker phone. I found 3 Droid x2 with this whacked glitch that happens on every rom official or not. What to look for is if you try to select an option see if the screen goes shuts off as soon as you hit the option. Its a random glitch and all 3 of my dx2 had this but in different parts of the screen.
My first dx2 had issues with selecting option 1 and 2nd dx2 had issues with options 2 & 5 and 3rd one got it when I tried to hit speaker phone. And I knew it wasn't because of a screen time out cause it would do it even when I was rapidly trying to hit the numbers. This happens with any phone # that has a select option portion. May take a couple phone calls to get the glitch to happen.
But original poster just call Verizon, your original issue should he enough to warrant a replacement as long as its still in warranty. I assume its a bad digitizer cause that's what allows your phone to register what your touching on the screen. Its hardware not software.

Well i would love to do that but the phone is one i put together from parts and im on page plus cellular which rents verizons towers and offers exceptionaly afordable plans you dont get threw verizon. Also I have done some cheking and i really dont think its the touch screen simply because it only ever does this when sending texts and the dead spots on the screen never show up when im doing anythign else.
I would bet it's the keyboard your using. Try SwiftKey and see if that works.
