Hi,
im using Atrix 4G rooted with 4.4.4 kitkat rom BigPart. im using this rom for quite a while when all the sudden my touch screen is freaking out, opening apps by itself tapping at certain place on my phone activates other touch places.
its like the phone is thinking im touch a diffrent place on the phone.
tried recalibrating touch settings but no luck.
I have my phone for 3 years.
how can i fix this?

So here is goes. . Phone has been running great (unlocked). I was running ORFR 2.3.4 (with ram fix) and was on Cherry rom. Its been running steady for about a month or so, and now Im getting these glitches. When Im typing a text message the letter q keeps coming up. When I open up the multitouch app (this rom has the multitouch hack) it will randomly show something touching the top left corner. Kind of like someone is pressing that part of the screen. Then it will go away and will be fine, then it will show up again. I have removed the case, screen protector, etc.etc. Plus I have never dropped the phone. Its been in a Otterbox case since the day it was born.
I dropped the multitouch to 8 instead of 10 thinking that was the issue but it was still doing it. So I reflashed the rom (through cmw) and its still doing it. Tried the 7h3 D/\k rom and its no better. Just have the one bar issue.. great lol.
Do you think going through the reflashing process for the ORFR 2.3.4 should fix the issue? Im starting to think its a hardware issue which is not gonna be good.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like its hardware issue.
I voided my warranty.
Gingerbread Issue
I am having the same problem on Froyo everything worked fine once Gingerbread update came out I know have the q appearing when typing a text as well as random screen freezing. Also if I reboot its fine for a couple of days and then it happens again. If you google gingerbread screen freezes you will see everybody is having this problem. Thanks
Hi first of all sorry about my English.
Ok my phone has an at&t froyo i just install superuser, slide loading, the weptop hack and the sim unlocked.
I'm using spb 3d launcher and every time i do a restart it seems that the spb it's working on his on, if a let it awake charging some times it's go to some shortcut like if i press it but i didn't (that didn't bother me too much ).
but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.
Please help any one
I reset my phone and still the same parts of the screen does not respond and the screen start shaking and doing thing uncontrol.
Please could be sw or is the hardware and i need to change the phone.
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Not sure what the problem could be.....there's a girl I know who's had similar problems, I'll ask her or put you in touch with her. Sounds like yer digitizer?

I am having the same issue, this was on CM7 only flashed yesterday and then I tried to restore my backup rom and this has the same issue??
Hope someone can sort out the problem.
It sounds like a hardware problem in which you should;
A) buy a whole new screen and install it (they will give you the tools to take it apart)
B) Send it back to Motorola if you haven't voided your warranty by unlocking the phone
or
C) this is a long shot as I do think it is hardware related, you should try this fix just to be sure that it is a hardware problem. Mind you this will do nothing more than refresh the .pds file that affects the touchscreen. Touchscreen fix!
definetly sounds like a broken digitizer to me
I have taken my phone in for repair(Not a official MOTO repairer) and I just got a phone call, he believes it is a software issue? I am not convinced, because I have tried 4 different roms? He said he is going to format/wipe phone. I told him I have installed roms to replace software and I thought that this would wipe/replace software problem?
Anyway I guess, I will found out if it sorts out the random screen movement and widget press?

I got the phone back yesterday, all working ok.
I quickly broke it again by trying to install a stock rom and then root it, but it introduced the same random screen/widget issues(I tried wipe/format, but no good?). I then install 2 custom rom, CM7 and Aura and I still had problems, then I install HomeBase and problem has been sorted. Have no idea why it fixed the issue just happy it is fixed. Just to have refrain from installing other roms......for now anyway

I spoke to soon, last night it started the random screen judder and random widget pressing.....
I am not sure what is going on....I've had the phone for about 12 days now(second hand from eBay) and for the first 4-5 days the phone was fine. I then installed CM7 and for about 12-24 hours the phone was ok. Then the random screen/widget issues happened. Did many, many wipe's/formats of various roms and all these issue occurred more or less straight away.
Then I installed HomeBase and for about 6-8 hours, all was ok until lastnight. I guess it is either new motherboard time or new phone time....

Take it back to stock rooted and see if you still have errors. If your saying your having this problem on every ROM then it could just be your phone. I've never had a problem and I flash all kinds of ROMs.

setcpu cause freeze issue in somecases and also swiftkey may give you troubles that I saw from other posts. If your phone is a gsm, returning to stock maybe your best option at the moment anyway.
my phone is cdma sprint service
Mine is stock everything, and I get this freezing issue once in awhile. But its like only the screen responses freeze. Meaning if I try to scroll down on a web page, or sideways on the main screen...it won't do anything. But if i press the apps button, or other "buttons" on the screen... it senses it.
Well I took off setcpu and its been working fine so far going to give it a few hours and see what happens it just sucks I paid for setcpu

I am having this same issue. I have tried several different ROMs and kernels with the same result of the screen doing its own thing and the buttons becoming unresponsive at the bottom until I turn off the screen with the bottom on the top of the phone, which then allows the buttons at the bottom to be responsive again until the problem starts again.
I have also updated my firmware minus HBoot (2.08.651.2 Firmware Minus hBoot.zip) with the same results.
Any suggestions?
I too am having major problems. at first i thought it was just MIUI but no matter what rom i flash my buttons are unresponsive its hard to even unlock my phone like it just doesnt register that im touching it. Ive never had any problems like this it started yesterday while picking a song from a playlist. i would give more detailed information but i cannot get to my settings.
I'm having this issue. Random freezing. I have to pull the battery to reset. Very annoying. This is my third replacement for asurion (after I cracked my screen). I hate this.
I Was having Freeze Problems but Not Lately... If you try the AndroTECH Rom you Might have a little Better Luck...

Hello there...
I am a total newbie to Android systems. My MyTouch 3G touch screen froze and stopped working a few days ago. I have tried soft and hard resets and got it to work briefly yesterday morning but after an hour or so it stopped working again.
It is stuck at the welcome screen saying "Touch the Android to begin" but the screen does not respond to touch. The track ball works though.
I know nothing about rooting flashing or anything of the sort but researching the problems seems to point in that direction.
Can anyone help? Thanks...
It may be a problem due to touch screen. Faulty screen maybe.
Try to send to store to check it

Ok, quite a long story so here goes,
I bought an atrix 4G which worked fine but had a slightly unresponsive area about 3/4 of the way up the screen, no big deal, I was using it happily. It then got rooted and the bootloader unlocked. The room that was then installed also installed a custom bootloader image which wouldn't load and screwed it up completely. I tried all suggestions and could not get passed/by/remove the image.
I have now bought another atrix and have found that this too has a unresponsive screen down the left side (over the w e s z line) that kinda sucked so decided to swap the motherboard. At least I could use the original screen. After doing this I booted without problems. I found the original unresponsive area but also found that the left hand strip was still not responding. Without the ability to boot the other phone I couldn't find out if it worked or not. So I have switched it all back to how it was, no problems but I am wondering if it is just a software fault(?) any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Try flashing a touch recovery and see if you can use the unresponsive zone.
(To see if it's the rom or the kernel)
Digitizer is dying. You will need to replace it.

Thanks for the responses guys, I'll try the flash recovery. I don't see how it can be just the digitiser. I switched the motherboards and the problems continued including the original blank spot which I know is dying anyway but I'm trying to see if the second one is faulty or just software.
