I seem to have developed a kind of dead spot where the "i" is on the keyboard. I have tried 2 different Swypes, the stock keyboard, Switftkey Flow, and the 4.2 keyboard. It will work sometimes, but if i repeatedly tap the i, sometimes it will go for periods of 20+taps without registering, or stop indefinitely until I swype over and include the I. All of the other buttons work perfectly. It has been in a case since the minute I got it, I have never dropped it, hit it, or anything, and recently I put a screen protector on it. Should I bring it back to Verizon for a warranty replacement?
Edit: This doesn't happen when I use the S Pen to tap, it only fails to register when I use my finger.
sounds like a touch screen defect, do take it back

i have the same exact problem but its on the 'u'. did you take it back for a replacement?
If you have a screen protector installed try removing it to see if the issue goes away. Have seen touch input issues with marginal screen protectors.

Yup I took it back. They did a hard reset and said I absolutely had to reproduce it for them to swap it out, so I sat there and pressed it until it started giving me problems again. Swapped it out no problem. It did this with or without the screen protector, do that wasn't the issue.

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

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

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.

wasn't the Prime's gorilla glass enough protection eliminating the need for a screen protector in the first place?
it doesnt look like there is any holes on it to get into

Edges around the screen?
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.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
There is a vertical area on the touch screen that is totally unresponsive. Because of this I am unable to hit c, v, f, g or t on my soft keyboard, and using the input text icon thingy have seen that it goes higher up.
Some background now.
Back in January/February, broke the digitizer on my phone. I ordered a new one from repairsuniverse. Installed, all perfectly fine. I would sometimes get "bubbles" and dust between the screens (I messed up the heat tape some.) I would use the lil plastic prybar and fix the issue without opening the whole phone. No issues before.
Yesterday, I decided to finally root, s-off, and try some mods. Before I got to it, I fixed another one of those bubble things on my screen. Went through it all, and went fairly smoothly, and installed cleanrom de. Touch screen would sometimes wig out and become completely unresponsive last night, but hitting the power button would bring it back. Went on and started downloading allot of my apps from the market, and went to bed.
Woke up this morning, touch screen was completely unresponsive. Couldn't get past the lockscreen, even after pulling the battery. I though I must of messed something up earlier when I popped off the screen yesterday (because the signs before compete unresponsiveness.) Tore the phone apart, physically inspected the cable and screen, found no visible defects, and firmly reseated the cable back into the...thingy.
Still no go. Yesterday I had only flashed the kernel for 3.13 on scotts thread, thought that might of been the issue, and flashed the whole 3.14 ruu from nils business sense rom page (because it has a fixed mainver) onto my phone. Success. The screen was working again. Go unlock>recovery>install cleanrom de again. Trying to sign into google, cant hit the listed letters above, flipped into landscape to continue. Couldn't figure out still what was wrong. I went back to the 3.14 ruu, not testing it before when it was installed, and the issue persisted there as well.
So, software? Hardware? Any ideas for fixes would be greatly appreciated.
In the market download an app like touch test and go over the area that is having problems and see if they persist.
From what you have said sounds like a hardware issue. I just am not sure what you would need to do next.

Downloaded the app, dead area all the way vertical between the 6th and 9th grid
I went and wiped absolutely everything and installed cleanrom again (like you I'm doubting software is the issue.)
Going to open her back up, maybe before it was software, but this time its hardware...I don't know...
Did u ever get this resolved I am having the exact same issue but mine is a "like new replacement".
I too have a dead zone going horizontal from line 22-24, but can still use the keyboard in that space so it's not completely dead
Actually I can touch almost anything in that section, only a few apps give me fits in that area???

Op issue is similar to mine, it got to the point where I called VZW and I am having a replacement sent AGAIN! doesn't it annoy you?
Also tried touch test and yep big void right in the middle vertically on the phone but the weird thing is that it goes back to normal after a while.
Also I re flashed thinking it was a software issue but nope.
So do you think it was the cheap digitizer or bad install?
Today my Atrix 4G started acting like a ghost was controlling it. It can be just sitting there with the display on, and somt part of the screen will be pressed and a program started. I have Elixir 2 buttons, Multicon buttons, and the regular app buttons installed on the display by the basic ATT controls. All three have had buttons "pressed" in a seemingly random way. I have rebooted several times. The phone is quite unusable.
Then I also get my regular reboot problem. The phone will be fine all day, but at some point, it just starts rebooting every 2 minutes. The little LED in the upper right corner turns often purple (it is usually green.) I get the process stopped message a lot then, too. It happens even if it is fully charged.
Part of your problem can be after having widgets on screen if you then froze the program which is for the widget the widget remains but as a ghost. You don't see it but its there. I had this issue with something like beautiful widgets and it played hell with my phone. Just a thought.

No wifi, nothing frozen
I have not frozen any programs. It happened after several reboots. I also did not have wifi turned on.
Thanks for your suggestions

I have this issue too, but it happens at random times and I can stop it by turning the screen off then on.
I think it might be the digitizer going bad.

Mine was accompanied by dead zones. I had to rotate the phone to get certain spots and keys on the keyboard to register. Sometimes pressing a spot on the lower left side registered on the upper right.
When I finally replaced the digitizer, I found the left side ribbon had detached and was being held in place by pressure. if the ribbon moved around, it caused spurious connections. I even had one ROM install itself with the Aroma installer because it kept thinking I was hitting the "next" button.
Digitizer replacement fixed.
Will replace phone, need to copy old phone to new
I think my phone needs a new digitizer. The wty expires in a week, so I'm going to a service center tmw. Thanks to all who made these useful suggestions.
Do I need to unroot it before I return it?
Do you know how to ghost my old phone to my new one?
Two days ago 2 smalls parts on the bottom of my screen stopped working to the touch. i press they keys on the keyboard on those stops, which are "W and E" or "B and N" in landscape.
I tried rebooting and also did a re-installation of my Rom "NottachTrix 1.3.1", but it doesn't work.
When i removed the battery cover the entire screen becomes very unresponsive and if i press the top of the phone, above the power bottom, the screen goes crazy as if it gets pressed everywhere, which leads me to believe that it's definitely a hardware issue.
I called AT&T and i can get a replacement phone for $125, which would be the Samsung Captive Glide.
However; i have to return my atrix once i get the phone.
Obviously I have an unlocked bootloader and also a different rom.
Does anyone know what i should do, as far as returning the phone to it's original condition. Should i bother locking the bootloader (if it's possible) or should i just install an original rom?

Your atrix's digitizer is broken. Replace it and it should solve your problem.

I'll look into it.
Has anyone notice the L button doesn't work every time you press it? I called verizon they said it's a known issue. my white n2 worked perfect. Now the grey one has that problem.. Press on the L key real fast and u will see what I mean . it doesn't register every time. I don't have to do it real fast for it not to work on mine.

So this is a wierd situation for me. My old Thunderbolt had this exact same problem, certain keys would not register most of the time, and I'm pretty darn sure L was one of them. When I downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en and tried pressing on the screen where my L key generally is, I could see what was going on. Something was wrong with the digitizer or how the software was interpreting the input.
Now this is where I got scared. You are not the first person to talk about this problem with the Note 2, and when I tried it after reading the first post a few weeks ago, I too was having the problem. It was about in the same spot as the L key. And sure enough when I opened up the touch visible app and checked that spot there was something wrong. There was like a dead spot in the shape of a circle in that area. Now I don't know what happened to it, but that was on stock unrooted. Once I unlocked and installed Jelly'Beans' the problem went away and I haven't had it since... knock on wood.
If it's software then whatever, software can be fixed easily. Hardware though.... ugh I do not want to replace this thing.
Hmmm I hope I dont have this problem, that exact thing happened on my thunderbolt also and drove me nuts it just started one day always had to use in landscape thats why I got the note 2...hopefully its just some sorta software issue

Actually I thought I messed up the first one, there was dust under it and I took it back off by prying instead of taking the phone apart. It also worked if I rotated the phone 180 degrees

I noticed the same thing with my Thunderbolt. If I put the phone in landscape those dead spots worked just fine using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterypoweredgames.mtvistest&hl=en to see if the screen was registering. This lead me to believe it was a software issue, and it unfortunately was never resolved.
Thankfully though I am not on the Note 2 and am not experiencing and screen dead spots, yet (knock on wood)

Just out of curiosity...are any of you using the Otterbox Defender? I have the dysfunctional 'L' key, and I think it's because the screen protector built into the case is raised at the edge of the screen. When I take it out of the case, I never get the 'L' key problem. Oh, and also the backspace key as you've noted. LOL I'm just glad I'm not alone.
