I decided to move this thread here in hope of more experts seeing this.
I broke my screen and digitizer of my note 2, and I replaced it with a new one. Upon booting up I noticed that the phone keeps vibrating as if I was pressing one of the buttons, and when I tried to open apps they immediately stopped and returned to the home screen.
I then charged my phone fully and the problem disappeared until just now when the same problem came back.
Is there any touchscreen expert here that would know what could be the possible cause? And secondly, is there a way to disable the right button all together in android?
Edit: if I keep my finger on the touchscreen and use the spen, it doesn't bug at all.

Hi guys,
My Vibrant screen recently broken hence I ordered a new screen from ebay. Got the screen today and while removing the old faulty screen, I accidentally tore a thin wire which was connected to the 4 buttons at the bottom. Out of the 4 buttons, 3 of them just came off the screen. So now I have successfully replaced the faulty screen with the new working screen. Everything works except the 4 buttons at the bottom. I press those buttons but nothing happens, not even the backlight comes up.
I believe I have done some serious damage to the buttons. What's my best options now? Should I take it to Samsung Repair Center? Will they even be able to fix this issue?
Its so frustrating because if I open any app I cant go back. I have to restart the phone to be able to use any other app.
Please help,
Dinesh.
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.

Thanks i appreciate it.
I'll look into it.
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.

Hi
Can someone please give me some advice on a problem I have with my S3
It has recently had a new screen fitted and now I find I cannot long press anything on my home screens instead it thinks I am pressing it and just opens it. Although I can occasionally drag something to the bin to remove it.
Does this mean I have other hardware fault or the replacement screen has been improperly fitted.
It does also freeze up until I press power button off then back on swipe to unlock then its back to normal
Factory reset to no avail, considering flashing ROM but I suspect this is hardware related.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Lee
the replacement screen has been improperly fitted.
Most likely

Same problem with my nexus 7, had the screen replaced, and it thought I was opening apps instead of swiping through the home pages, most likey a badly fitted screen, get them to double check its fitted correctly.
