I just bought a archos 101 g9 when it was on sale on woot last week and so far it is working pretty good, however I have an annoying problem with it.
If it has been sleeping for over a few minutes (regular sleep, not the deep sleep) and I wake it back up the touch screen goes crazy. The bottom left corner keeps detecting a touch event. It will cycle from multiple on/off touches a second to one on/off every few seconds. If I rotate the tablet to portrait, it will start scrolling the screen none stop to the left. So far the only fix is to do a reboot.
It does not happen every time, just occasionally when I wake it up from sleep.
Today i got a case for it, and whenever it is in the case, the touch screen goes crazy. Same touch events in that same area.
I am guessing something is wrong with the digitizer. Anyone else seen this problem before?
Have the same problem, and as I've read on xda and archosfans forums, this isn't an uncommon issue. We'll just have to wait for a firmware update, as rebooting seems to fix it, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.

I have exactly the same problems.
@ARCHOS: PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG !
Sensitive Touch
I have similar problems with the touchscreen. If I'm holding it with one hand by a corner, it detects touch. The rest of the time it is a little jittery and releases or double taps in games. It's still not a deal breaker, though.
I hope we don't have to swap digitizers to fix it.

I'll give that a try and see if that works. I just got a case and as soon as it is in the case it is even worse.
EDIT: I installed a calibration app on xda and it really made it worse!
What app are you using to calibrate it?
I have a similar issue sometimes.
For me the fix is simply to clean the screen.
The strange thing is, it happens even when the screen doesn't appear to be especially dirty but I put the tablet to sleep, give the screen a serious clean with a microfibre cloth and the touchscreen issues vanish.
Could be a different issue to what you guys are having but the symptoms are the same and it's an easy 'fix' to try.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, I had not noticed that area in the settings before. Recalibrating it in the cover has helped a lot.
I pretty much had this since day 1......
The current state is ; it doesn't work at all then all of a sudden It will pop back into life and then pretty much go "mental" as already described, I also found it reacts poorly to minor temperature variations, i.e going from outside to inside and general day to day travelling. Recalibrating used to "help" but now has no effect.
From watching the debug logs part of me thinks it's a bit of both, hardware and software ( just a hunch ) I noticed the driver fail to get a "ping" response from the hardware a couple of times.
I've pratically given up on it myself and plugged a keyboard and mouse in via a hub on the full size usb...... The hub has now stopped working for some reason , I'm now on a OTG Keyboard with a Virtual Mouse Driver using the numeric keypad and some adb input trickery ,
I've got another touch screen/digitizer to plug in, just not got round to putting it in yet and a little part of me is starting to enjoy finding more elaborate ways of interacting with the device... :laugh:
Does anyone know who the OEM of the digitizer Unit is? My previous investigation led me to china but information seems to be thin on the ground with this one

I put a skinomi skin protector on and after that touch screen stopped working. I took it off and screen is still not working.
I got it to work by doing
by jk.jolin On Dec 29, 2011
Well, hard reset may help you fix this ASUS Transformer Prime touchscreen not responding issue: 1. Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off and Press and Hold the power button and the "Down" volume button together for 6-10 seconds and let them both go. 2. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Boot" appears in the list near the top of the screens and just press and release the "Down" volume button again and let it reboot. If you own the dock be sure and do this with the dock connected.
Nevermind its not working again

sounds like you've been remoted.
Maybe you spayed too much application solution that got inside tablet? dip it in a bag of rice may help..
This is funny.. play by play of what is happening
Hard reset and wait.
I went into my email and it started deleting emails
That's a wet screen protector, right? Definitely sounds like water damage. Same thing happened to me with the original Droid phone. Power it off, put it in a bowl of rice over night, and cross your fingers.

I had a problem with my screen that was bad enough to cause me to return it. It was amazing in every other way, but the screen problem was a deal breaker. I'm gonna give it some time before I try again.

I have let the battery discharge and then then restarted it after some charging but no Joy
Please guys Help and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Open prime and push in the cables into the lcd.. they must be loose. I had the same issue when i replaced a new screen.

Today something strange started happeneing. When the pen is a short distance from the screen, the flyer starts to pick up the pen's movements.
Yesterday I was using it and this was not happening. I didn't update anything overnight so this has me a bit baffled.
Last week I added a screen protector but the pen has been working without issue since. Well until today. This on the official HC ROM.
Any thoughts?
Battery may be getting weak.
I'd check the batteries.
how long has it been used?
i had taken it off the battery probably 2 hours earlier.
anyway i switched it off for some time (30 or so minutes) and since then it has stopped the behaviour. strange.

Check the scribes batteries....
I had similar issues and replacing the battery did not help.
I ended up opening the entire pen mechanisim, (un screwing the front and back portions) and cleand all the electrodes,
The pe is working well again.
This happened to me. I took out the battery, and then screwed the back on as tight as I could, and it worked properly again.

Does your tablet pickup strong frequency?
My flyer also show strange behavior yesterday on one particular place.
My pen is battery off but most of the time tablet pickup all finger touch as pen touch, take screen shot and cannot navigate with finger touch. Reboot didn't make any changes.
After 20 minute tablet become back normal function. I suspect on place that happen. Probably tablet pickup some frequency and though as pen is nearby and reply every touch as pen touch.
I cannot verify since cannot go back to that place.
I have this problem all the time in class, I think I figured out how to fix it and avoid the problem.
To fix it: Remove the battery and wait about 10 seconds.
To avoid it: I have a nasty habit of playing with the two input buttons. I think that if you press both buttons together at the same time or even possibly some odd combination, it causes the board to crash and thus you get the behavior described.
Hallo,
I had the problem too, but getting out of the battery doesn't help. The other day suddenly it works again (and i set my Flyer off and on without success the day before).
I have no explanation for this behaviour. I know for sure I didn't press both keys.
Greetings
Komm wir essen Opa. (Satzzeichen retten Leben.)
I have a HTC Jetstream and faced similar problem. But faced the problem only after wiping the screen. May be too much static which caused the pen's scribe field to be amplified creating this strange phenomenon. When I swept my hand across the screen and tried or after a while of use-like 15min or so, the problem self resolved.

If the buttons are facing up the problem goes away
HI, since I've always had issues (from stock rom up) with hw capacitive buttons (home/back/search/menu), I would like to disable them, maybe my Folio is faulty on them (randomly the back button fires by itself, even if the tablet was left alone on the table).
So I ask Artem or anybody who knows it: I can build from sources, what is the minimal diff I can make to the sources? Is it sufficent to comment out line 'CONFIG_KEYBOARD_FOLIOCAP=y' in tegra_betelgeuse_android_defconfig?
Thank you.

Hello, posting for the first time =)
Anyway, i've had a problem with folios crazy buttons and screen response since day one.
Nothing really changed for me with rom updates and different apps. I have tried it all...
I had enough and finally unplugged that little cable that connects into circuitboard
of those buttons and power-led. This is really no solution but takes care of that problem =)
It also disables power indicator led, so that's a little inconvenience =/. But since unplugged,
touchscreen started to work in every way better like its more responsive and doesn't "freeze" anymore.
But this requires you to disassemble your folio to get to touch with the cable to the circuitboard.
Removing plastic back cover isn't enough, but you Dont have to detache the screen from faceplate.
I'll plug it back on when there's a software fix for buttons behavior. Meanwhile enjoying peace from
button madness =D. Sorry if poor english, i'm Finnish

After disassemble screen seems to work, but after some time is starts again and I don't have "crazy" buttons though.
I'm using mouse and keyboard and it's comfortable.
Hi everybody,
Recently I've been encountering a problem where my streak won't respond to any touches after I open the screen. Pressing the power button and waking the phone up again does not solve the problem. I've read about the static issue, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case here as the problem still occurs even when my streak isn't in my pocket.
Oddly enough, rebooting the phone solves the issue temporarily. The touchscreen will work perfectly until I turn the screen off again, but when I turn the screen back on, the phone doesn't seem to register any touches. The phone itself works fine as it still receives notifications even when the touchscreen is unresponsive.
Is this a hardware or a software issue?
I'm currently on DSC 2.2 and baseband 366. I'm going to try a factory reset right now to see if any will improve.
Thanks!
Edit: did a factory reset, problem is still occurring
I have the same problem, does anyone know how to fix this? thanks

Yeah I have. I'm currently assuming it's a hardware issue since I've reverted back to a stock rom along with several other custom roms but the touchscreen still remained unresponsive after waking it up. I'm hypothesizing its a bad connection somewhere, especially if the display and touch sensor wake up separately. Does anybody know anything about this and whether it can be repaired?
On the other hand, I might be completely wrong...
I noticed that some bags for DS5 produce static electricity, such as the original Dell Bag (Futon bag - ?)
The Leather Bag (with red fissure) does not produce static electricity even when having the DS5 in trousers.

I had this problem once, pried and screwed the Streak open, checked connection ribbons, and cleaned it with (a little bit) electric contact spray. This has saved my irresponsive power button as well! Success:good:
Yesterday I purchased this awesome phablet but I found few bugs.
I already updated to 14.1.B.1.510
1) screen of death -2 times.(volume down + power key help me to reboot)
2) Touch response during charging is very weird..
3) I never saw such a ugly camera.
So I Want To Know Should I Replace It OR its software fault
54 views but no response. Friend please let me know this is hardware fault or software fault.
When I put my mobile on charging screen touch becomes less responsive.
Anyone facing this problem
Please reply me it's very costly mobile...
And is there any permanent solution for SOD.( screen of death)
1. Try ticking the optimized backlight setting, or turn off adaptive brigthness, or factory reset, or repair via pcc. Or claim warranty.
2. No not for me, still sensitive enough I don't see noticable difference when charging. Try charging it in different place (other than your home or something) or try using another charger.
3. Yes, downright ugly.

From the first day it was reported no one truly knows whether it was software or hardware. Firmware update seems to make a lot of reports die down, but not all - making it likely to be software. The trigger seems random and varying it suggests it could be hardware for some.
Hell, no one knows. I never had sod in my old fw (461 and 475, but I used it only for a very short time) but on 510 (wiped clean) I do experience occasional "fake death" issue, but I only need to press the power button two times max to wake up the device. So well, maybe its not even sod.

My previous phone was huawei with amoled, and the sensitivity while charging was very bad. Turns out every device was like that. My zu isn't, clearly. Wonder if the OP's case is really that bad.

I currently use the Galaxy Note 1 running on Jellybeer (custom ROM) and will be going for the Ultra LTE (100% sure no backing out.. lol)
2. Weird touch behavior while charging is present on the Galaxy Note.. I am using my Original charger + Cable and I notice that it is not really sensitive whenever I use it while plugged in.. Worst is at the middle and gets better as you go out to the edge of the screen. (problem gets amplified if I get into skin contact with anything that has direct contact with the ground)
I suggest trying out a different cable or socket as it seems like your body and the charger gets grounded to earth somewhat.
Try using your Ultra while touching the wall or standing barefoot on cement and see if it gets worse..
