Possibly a hardware fault, you may have to take it to a store. But are you using a custom ROM? If yes, can you give more details?

This happened quite in surprise I was watching a video in YouTube with the charge cable connected and suddenly the screen went crazy and then the problem a started.
It works at time but not all

Are you on the stock ROM? Or have you rooted the device and installed a custom ROM?

Digitizer is dying. You will need to replace it.

nothing happened. i still have the problem with the dead stripe. it is said that if you try the pds partition fix your digitizer might be fixed. there is a thread about that in xda and you can find it by searching in google. i would point you to it but im not on my pc. oh and be carefull when messing with pds, or at least thats what everyone is saying

How to solve?
1st : Factory Reset?
2nd : Reflash?
Yeah! I got that once or twice
I think it's a mental thing... had the same ghost vibrate or ring a few times well...even with my old nokia 5800

Councelling I think.
Did it twice yesterday. Suppose it gives the phone individuality.

Mine just has seizures from time to time. Mostly when I am typing. I found that if I am typing too fast the screen locks up and it vibrates for a solid 5 seconds, then the screen un-freezes and all the letters I hit before it froze appear.
Seems like my X10 can't keep up with my lightning fast typing speed.
Same here lol

Don't you wake up after having a bad dream sometimes? ;-)
posted via pigeon.
Perhaps you had your laptop on the sofa at the same time. That will vibrate it a bit......
Perhaps I didn't...

PDS fix - is it dangerous?

I've been having touchscreen issues that I believe is related to the pds partition, is flashing the fix dangerous? The thread says i'll lose some unique information that's tied to my phone, a mac address for one. I know what it is, but will this end up screwing me over in the long run? The screen going crazy is really annoying...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
How do you know it is the pds?

I dont for sure, the symptoms just fit. the screen goes crazy like I'm touching everywhere and then just stops working, i have to turn the screen on and off four to five times for it to start working. It might be the digitizer, but i don't want to have to change it out unless I have to...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Unfortunately I have the exact same symptoms and can assure you that it is not my pds

What exactly you want with this thread? If your digitizer is broken, buy another and replace it
Sent from my MB860
Try this link. It's a weird fix that might work. If not you'll just have to buy a new digitizer and replace it.

Highly doubt it. Atrix 4G is known for having issues with the digitizer. I myself have a dead stripe vertically too. Let us know how it goes tough.

Same here. I upgraded to a new phone. I was hoping I would be able to stick with Motorola, but nope.
At some point I'll probably drop $30 on the new digitizer and try to resurrect it.

Im thinking the same thing. Im going to buy something used though. Maybe a S2 or something. Only requisites are that it must have official ICS and great dev support.

Couple of question:
1) Did you replaced the digitizer yourself?
2) Where you bought it?
3) Was it hard to replace?
4) How much it costed?

Just get a new phone. There's still a chance that the replacement digitiZer won't work either.

The digitizer is super easy to replace.
I used ifixit.com's teardown and was able to figure out everything I needed. In fact I was actually replacing a water damaged lcd but I had to tear the phone down in exactly the same way. 20 minute job for someone with almost no experience inside of electronic devices.

[q] help pls!
