to judge that problem, why not try to switch between webos and android, if this issue exist in both systems, that must be a hardware problem
Weird, I'm having the exact same issue.

Just tried it on web os same problem came up. Strange that it could be a hardware issue though. Never dropped or abused it. Will buying a new digitizer solve this?
Here's mine. Submitted a claim to hp. Hopefully its worth it to fix. I'm sure its not software related, but OP, which rom were you on when you started encountering this problem?

i would try first resetting your device back to stock. incliuding uunistalling any android partitions. if youre back on stock web os and youre still having response issues i would definitly try replacing the digitizer. they probably dont cost much and if you know what youre doing fairly easy to install. i do them for people with cell phones sometimes.

I cracked the screen on ViewSonic GTablet I am going to send it in for repair but want to make sure that I have gotten any data off of it. Vegan Tab ROM, only other computer is Win XP. I access to Android phones. Any suggestions? I am new to tablets and the forum. Searched the forum but no similar post.

Why not repair yourself? I'm new to the gTab, but aren't their parts available?

No self repair parts are available. The external glass is actually part of the digitizer. Not sure where he's sending it for repair (or what it's costing) but in the past, US Merchants has told others that replacing the digitizer was beyond economic repair.
Was not aware the GTab had a real digitizer. Interesting.
A thought. If a screen has a small crack, I wonder if the automotive windshield repair places would work? Hmmmm.

Yep, it's the digitizer that gives you the capacative touch interface screen & buttons.

Would probably work to seal small cracks but I have no idea if the difference in material would affect the digitizer.
Sounds weird, but this is the 2nd ATRIX I've received and within 4 months, a portion of the LCD screen just...dies. not dropped or water damaged either. Also with both phones it was the SAME part of the screen...and almost exactly 4 months apart...odd.

As you can see, that strip doesn't recognize contact, in either portrait or landscape. Anyone else experience this flaw?
Yup. But mine was at the top. I sent it in for warranty and got it fixed.

I've also got the same problem, except the dead portion of the screen is the exact part where the first notification in the notification bar is.
Any ideas?

Digitizer. The weakest part of that phone. If its in warranty, you're lucky. If not, search around for a replacement.

I just bought my second digitizer. (first one was not oem and worked but it didnt have minor details like tint where the sensors are.) My original one went dead, the second one i dropped the phone and it started going bad. Here is a link to an oem one from amazon. It should get here by monday so I will update you on the condition of it. I would NOT recommend going for a cheaper non-oem version.

EDIT: I got the digitizer... and broke the ribbon cable lol. It was in perfect condition though and the company issued me an RMA so im getting another. I am sure that it worked fine. Seems like a great company (i got it from seller1on1) I have bought from them before, i cant say anything about how good the other companies are.
I have seen yesterday in a shopping center in retailer shop, strange behaviour of S6 edge:

Anybody could tell me what happened with this phone or witnessed such thing? Phone was hot but I can't tell if too much, maybe higher temps are standard in S6 world I own S5 and never noticed such temp. It wasn't burning but was unpleasant.
It's not a demo unit just regular phone. I saw that unit few days ago and it was retail one (checked in phone info).
Maybe someone dropped it but there were no sign on body.
That is the beginning of the show game of thrones, but apparently got stuck in that part ?? more serious now, I don't know why he could be like that, that's the first time I hear or see an s6 like that

Hahah, ROFL yeah it is HBO starting I've read about S5 which had the same issue and user just waited with battery out some time and next boot was OK.
But also heard about S4 which after such thing was damaged and warranty services changed mainboard.

Valar Phonoris? All phones must die Who knows what happened to this poor fellow. Maybe Hardware, maybe Software. You can't play around with it, so we probably won't find out
Hi, all. <SOLVED>
Sorry if this has already been posted. I've searched the forums and Google and I can't find a fix for this issue. Right! The issue I'm having is: I use my Nexus 9 for X amount of time, I leave it on my bedside table for a few hours and when I swipe to unlock the screen flashes black and goes right back to the swipe to unlock screen. The only thing that solves this is booting into TWRP and wiping Dalvik cache and regular cache. I'm having to do this every day and it's really getting on my nerves. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a permanent fix for it?
I'm running stock Marshmellow, With TWRP recovery, rooted and using Elemental X 4.0 kernel. I've tried every other kernel, and nothing seems to fix this issue. Is this a hardware issue or is it just software in which case does anyone know of a fix.
Thank's in advance for any help, this problem is driving me nuts.
No one know's how to fix this problem? Looks like I'll be sending this POS back.
I'd eliminate more variables -- run for a while fully stock for a while, especially the stock kernel, and see how it goes.

Thank's for the reply. I thought that would be the logical step myself, so I went back to stock last night, left my N9 on standby all night and woke up to the same problem. I did use a toolkit to go back to stock though and it seems to have flashed the unencrypted kernel. So, today I'm going to manually flash it back to stock and see if that solves the issue. The only thing left then is to re-lock the bootloader, but I can't see that being the problem. I ill try as a last resort before sending it back for a replacement though.
I think I've figured out the problem. I purchased a 3rd part folio case and I think the magnets on the front of the case were causing the screen unlock issues. I've had the case off all day and had no issues unlocking the device. I'm going to give it a day or two just to be sure, but I think I've found the culprit.
I had the same problem with a roocase orgami. I simply wedged some material between the case and the tablet's top portrait edge and that did the job. A few millimeters was all it needed to stop triggering the magnets.

Thank's for the advice. I couldn't believe it was just the case causing this issue lol.

Hi guys,
I´ve a X820 with a divided screen. some colorful pixel on the left side and working lcd on the right side. I´ve tried 4 different screens. the used LCDs are working well on other phones.

then I removed the black sticker around the lcd connector and catched out that some resistors are loosened.
Do anyone know these issue? is there any fix? soldering? but where I can find the spare parts?
Thanks for your help guys

Exact same problem here too. I've been using the phone fine for two months but just yesterday this screen issue happened. It happens randomly and is hard to reproduce. Tapping or scrolling the left side seems to cause glitches. Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue.
Screenshots do not show the problem, and funnily enough pressing things on the left of the screen still works, like opening apps/typing etc, you just can't see what you're doing until the glitch clears itself! It also happened once on the LeEco splash screen on booting, and in recovery mode. I'm not sure about the bootloader.
I haven't looked at the resistors as the phone is basically new, so if this is a hardware issue I'm hoping for a replacement! If anyone has a fix please post it!
I also had the same issue but for some reason only with LOS 15.1.
When I boot into it it's fine but when I lock the phone half of it turns into RGB noise like on the photo. Restarting does fix the problem but still locking it makes the noise again. I think it's just a software glitch.
Thanks @LameMonster82. Mine is a lot more often than that, and not just when locking the phone. Glad to know this could just be a software issue though!
@toto1988 any update on this? Did you find a fix? There's a solution offered by @geekch to reflash the LeMax2Qfil so I may try that myself over the next few days. Flashing stock Rom and recovery unfortunately did not work so Qfil may be the last resort.
Sorry for delay. Now I got a new motherboard and anything works fine again. So it was definitely a hardware issue. Before I tried all other potential software fixes without success.
