Hallo,
i described the same problem almost in the Desire Generel Thread but that wasn't the right.
I have a HTC EVO 3D GSM and one big problem.
My notification bar scrolls down without any touch of my side. It scrolls down a little bit and stuck there so i cant do anything at this time because of the scrolled down notification bar. To fix that i can only lock the phone by pushing the power button and relock it again as usually. But after that the same problem begins. This problem starts at monday around 12 am.
At that time i had installed a cusom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616
The Kernel which i had installed was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31376376&postcount=874
I thought it might be a problem with custom roms or something i decided to go back to stock rom, lock bootloader and unroot the phone. But the problem exists in the way i described above.
I went to stock by using goldcard and extract the rom.zip from the temporary file of a Shooter_RUU of HTC Gingerbread. After that i installed the official HTC ICS Software.
Now i installed a app of the Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=multitouchpro.tests&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm11bHRpdG91Y2hwcm8udGVzdHMiXQ..
There i can see, that i have two fingers of the display (red and blue). No Problem but after a short time two other circles came to display but i dont touch that. They are in that area of display where the notification bar is to find (with 2 circles green and yellow).
What can i do!? Is there anyone who can help me to fix that terrible problem? I dont know how i can fix that.
If nothing can help, can i give that phone to my local electronic retailer and he dont notes that the phone was one day unlocked and rooted and there was a custom rom installed?
Best regards,
Marc

I have searched the forums and not found an answer so I am posting a question.
I flashed Aura ROM and been very happy for a very long time then suddenly the notification bar wont pull down.
The only thing I can think of is that I tried to use the Entertainment Dock and, although the phone went into entertainment mode, the TV remained blank, I unplugged and got on with my life.
I have since tried wipe (data/cache/dalvik), reflash Aura, wipe reflash Aura w/Bl, wipe reflash Home, flash update, flash theme, wipe...
After the above I went to restore a previous backup and got an MD5 Sums Mismatch. I repaired the backup and restored...still the problem persists.
Any ideas would be welcome. I am getting concerned that I have managed to ruin a fantastic phone.
I can confirm that there is no problem with the screen, that portion of the screen responds to swipes across and moves the desktop, just not the notification bar.
The really weird bit is that the buttons stop working, if I run my finger across from one side to the other then the screen responds (my home screen moves around).
If I go into landscape then the pull down works but the buttons are still shot and back to portrait doesn't help.
Standby and back seems to fix it (I do not have to power off).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Quick update (problem persists)
I used multitouch tester to see what was happening when I dragged down the notification bar. When functioning correctly it see's one finger as one. When going wrong it sees the finger at the top of the screen as two / three / four separate presses. When I drag the one finger down the extra points stay at the top. I guess this is why the notification bar doesn't go down.

Hardware Fault
I have decided that this is a hardware fault and so I am desperately trying to hide the "unlocked" text and return the device
...or brick it in the process
wish me luck...

Just flash a GB SBF to remove the unlocked and you don't have to worry about bricks as long as you don't attempt to flash a froyo SBF. Don't worry if it doesn't boot after flashing the SBF. Just ssend it in. That's what I did.

I actually did the motorola update from their software update tool. It removed the "unlocked" text, put the T-Mobile startup animation back in and soft bricked it.
I have now sent it off for repair...three weeks
Thanks for the comment
As the title says, I was using my N10 quite a bit yesterday but just before I went to bed I noticed a strange icon (?) in the notification bar that I couldn't get rid of... kind of a white spot/circle fading out towards the edge... Anyway I turned off the Nexus using the power key and choosing shutdown. It was then stuck on the Nexus "X" screen loading for ages >10 minutes! Occasionally it partially loaded my lock screen but not for long enough for me to unlock it or anything, and then reverted back to the loading "X" screen. Anyway the only way I could "fix" it was to go into boot recovery and choose "data wipe/factory reset".
Its working now but I am slightly frustrated that I have lost all the photo's and downloads I saved onto it (I know I should have had a backup but I wasn't modding it or anything).
My questions are, has this happened to anyone else with stock rom and unroot and any idea what the icon was in the notification bar? Also, should I return it for a replacement?
Much appreciado!

Hello friends.
I just got my Motorolla Atrix 4G and im not abble to unlock it on the unlock screen, the touch just dont works at all there, even the capacitive buttons below not responding. The first day I managed to unlock it somehow after removing the battery, after that the unlock screen was working fine even when I lock the phone so I tough the problem was over and stated to install some basic apps. Like 2 days later the problem was back and now not even removing battery was working, sometimes I get to unlock it but now thats less and less posible. I read that installing an optional unlock screen could do the trick so I installed "Widget Locker" and worked some hours, then the same thing even the Widget Locker unlock screen dosnt respond. Its weird because once I manage to unlock it the touch works perfectly at all so that makes me think its a software/system problem.
Currently I cant unlock it at all, not even removing battery or anything.
The phone its used, I was thinking to bring it to a tech center on here and try root and installing a custom rom?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Bump...
Just to add... tried hard reset and didnt worked =/
¿Any sugestion? ¿Should I try an screen change?
Thanks.

Does the problem occur when you move the phone into a vertical position (moving the lock screen)?
Try turning the screen off/on by using the power button (but don't turn the phone off) ... does this help?
When you installed a custom rom did you do a full system wipe? (goto 'mounts/storage' and format pre-install, data, system, osh, cache) before
installing rom.
Hello barry, thanks for the answer.
Yes, the problem occours in both horizontal and vertical positions.
If I press the power button the power off dialog appears on screen and im unable to touch the options, holding the power button dont turn the phone off so im forced to remove the battery to turn it off.
I havent installed a custom rom yet. Thats the next step ill be covering. I toke the phone to a tech center place and asked them to install a custom rom (since I cant persoanlly do the root and flash rom proces) They just told me that it didnt fixed it, but when i turn it on i saw the same Moto Blur interface wich make me think they didnt changed the rom at all...
Sadly when puting a SIM and starting the phone the Motorolla interface screen appeared, but... touch wasnt working there neither wich now starts to make me think it is a hardware problem after all... Im not sure anymore and dont know what to do now
Sorry for the long answer and the bad english.
sounds like your digitizer might need replaced, based off of what I read. just out of curiousity, what android version is it?
Stock Android Gingerbread 2.3 with Moto Blur UI
Digitizer? Not Screen then?
EDIT: Ohh nvm, Digitizer = Touchscreen right?

Yes. Don't confuse the two, the screen has nothing to do with the digitizer, other than one being on top of the other physically.
Hello, I have an i605 and have been using CM12 since it has been released and really like it as a daily driver. I have tried many different ROM's all using CM12 as a base and all, without question have had this same issue.
At least once a day (time of day varies) I will pick up my phone and turn on the screen (which button I use makes no difference) and it will be black, I see that the backlight is on but the screen is black. The home button does nothing, swiping left or right does nothing, the status bar shows up just fine, I can swipe down and see notifications and access the quick launch but if I try to access anything, it just returns me to a black screen. The only way I can get out of it is to reboot.
I am currently running the June 16 nightly with the kernel that is bundled with it. I did try a difference kernel before (I cannot think of the name right now) but the problem remained.
I have tried googling this issue to no avail and I haven't seen anything here on the forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you access to the recovery mod ?
I'm at the end of my rope with this. Several days ago my s5 started refusing to drop down the notification panel and the quick settings menu. I'm running stock rooted kitkat 4.4.2. I did a factory reset, disabled xposed (in case some notification bar mod was causing this even though I hadn't changed my xposed settings for months), got a replacement SIM card, went back to an earlier version of google, and now sometimes it will work for a whole day and then stop responding again. I took out the external SD card and it still does it. I uninstalled anything new (not much) that had recently been installed. I have been using Nova as my launcher, so I tried going back to just Touchwiz, but no change.
It's not just the drop down screens, when I open Titanium Backup and try to use the "clear" or "menu" buttons at the top of the screen, they don't respond either. It's like something is freezing the top half inch of the screen (I measured it in frustration).
I went into the diagnostic menu and checked the screen and everything is responding as far as I can tell--the line goes up to about an eighth of an inch from the top of the screen but the pictures for this when I googled looked like that so maybe they aren't supposed to reach the actual top of the screen.
Googling shows that several models at least of Samsung, and even some Sony, are showing this problem and nobody seems to know how to fix it.
Has anyone got any clues they can give me about this? I can't seem to find what the problem is.
Update--I tried flashing Hispasian Kernel but it didn't solve the problem. I tried defrosting everything I had frozen with Titanium Backup and that didn't solve the problem.
Flash latest stock lollipop FOL1 and see if it's still there. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware defect and you'll need to get your phone repaired.
That's a good idea. Thanks!
