I had my razr for about 2 weeks, and this problem already happen to me a few times.
The touch screen will suddenly not responding to ANY touch, only the the buttons are still working(include the 4 buttons on the bottom).
I had to hard reboot my phone to get it working again.
Does anyone face the same issue?

Yes I also face this type of problem while playing games. Screen become unresponsive while playing but can solve by pressing power button(no need to reboot).Not on 2.3.5 base only on 2.3.6.
I also face this problem, after updating my rom to arctic 2.0 rom, which uses some stuff from 2.3.6.....power does not help, have to hard reboot. any idea why?
I've had this problem happen to me on my Droid RAZR (CDMA Verizon), can't remember if its before or after I was rooted... I just had to hard restart and its only happened once since then.

The power button does not work for me
I had try to press the power button, but then the screen still not responding, so I cannot pass through the lock screen, and have to hard reboot......
I am on stock rom, 2.3.5, the Asian version.
But it seems it does not matter to different region's razr since the cdma one had the same issue

I get this too. I had 3 razrs, first two had dead pixels so I had them replaced, all had this issue. Has not happened in awhile and I can't remember if it was always with a game, but at least one time it was with a game. Anyway, I don't think this has to do with rooting because my first one I never rooted and it did this. Don't remember if power button worked or not, but I had to reboot as well with power and volume down, or up, whatever it is, to get it to respond again.
No problems here.
I have had this happen about 4 or 5 times for me as well - got it day of launch. Mine says it is the XT912 though - is that right?
XT912 is the Verizon specific one, so yes.
Seems to be a fairly common issue. What is the chance that this is a software problem as opposed to a hardware one and so will be fixed with an update?
I had it happen for the first time yesterday after about 5 weeks or so, strange cause I wasn't doing anything. Battery was at about 15% though...
I only encounter this bug when I open Rom Toolbox for the first time and the superuser permissions screen shows up. My screen doesnt respond to touch anymore. I have to use the power button to make it work. Thats it. It happens nowhere else.
I've been using ROM Toolbox since day one, can't say it's the issue.

Happened to me today...any need to panic?? On official Stock ROM 2.3.5...
Also, is this a hardware issue or software??
My problem is bit different, on a 4 month old unrooted razr.
Touch screen will start to fail recognizing my sywpe typing and start jumping all over the place, or it will end the word while I'm still sywping the word...
Sometimes it types in different letters (1/2 keyboard away) when I'm not sywping to avoid this BS when it happens.
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this result whenever I want to, I'm currently trying to reproduce the situation.
I believe this happens more often when my battery is low... or when I have been using it for an extensive time.
I go to draw program to test if it is the hardware problem and it is jumpy too, but not by much.
The problem does get better with reboot, but not 100% of the time, so I can't conclude it is SW problem
I also have issues with this. I think the problem is software side. It seems to be poorly responsive often after I unlock my phone and try to swipe screens.
Also while typing quickly with two hands it often does not input all the letters I type, although it flashes the keys and acknowledges that I touched them (this one might be a keyboard issues, not sure yet)
And ya, on an all black screen, I'm noticing some dead pixels- a lot of rectangular patches of dead pixels. I don't really notice it anytime else except when it's all black.
Been making me double think my choice, but I will wait for ICS update and possibly bootloader bypass. But.. I might be getting another phone shortly just because of the size (bezel mostly), these touch screen issues, and the performance isn't exactly where I anticipated it to be.
Razr XT910 touchscreen randomly jumping or not responding
I'm having all the problems mentioned earlier:
- touchscreen stops working randomly
- touch "jumps", like someone is touching it in random places
- some letters on the keybord stop working randomly
- phone gets quite hot at the top
My XT910 is not altered in any way, stock android 2.3.5, as updated as possible.
This happened when it was up-to-date and the very clean one.
This happens really irregularily. At first it happened when I played multitouch games - at some point the touchscreen just stopped responding and could only go back or lock the screen (but not unlock it, obviously).
Twice it happened when I was just going through messages or contacts.
I sent it to Motorola to fix it - they just reset it, benchmarked it for 45seconds and sent it back.
The very evening I got it back I tried to "heat" it myself - I installed a lot of apps, played a lot multitouch games on 3d graphic and voila! - it started freaking out like never before (vidoe in zip file attached).
My last idea is that it happens because of a low quality generic anti-scratch foil on the screen. So I threw it away and tried to "heat" the phone again - nothing.
I used a different foil - anti-reflecting + benchmarking apps - nothing.
If it happens again I'll send it with this video + the one I'll make then.
Hope it gets Motorola specialists off their ass and back to work .
Hey there, my maxx has this weird issue with it's screen too.
Take for example, a game with on screen controller like reckless racing. If i push the screen too long, it won't recognize my press anymore in the pressed area. I tried to go back home, thinking this is the game issue, but it's not, the home launcher button that coincidentally in the same location with game control button is unclickable. i tried with phone tester app and it show the same symptom, the pressed area indicator will disappear within 1-2 minutes.
The only solution is to turn off display and turn it on again. Should i bring it to service center?

Hello, I've recently having this exact same problems with my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
The screen sometimes doesn't respond as it should:
-Random touches.
-Not detecting swipes.
-Not detecting anything at all after long press.
-Detecting the touch location wrongly...
When this happens, sometimes a reboot fixes everything. Others, I just have to stop using the phone, and come back later.
Has anyone managed to find a possible cause and/or solution to this problem?
I've tried diferent roms, full reset, rsd flashes... But still the same problem
My vibrant is in a bit of an issue. The screen is black and not responding but the 4 buttons are lit up.
The phone boots normal with its standard boot animation and load screen but as soon as the phone gets to the actual UI it blacks out and becomes unusable.
I can get into both recovery and download mode, and i have already flashed 2 different ROMS through ODIN in hopes that it would fix the issue, but no dice. one ROM alleviated the issue for about a day then it came back. the other ROM I flashed was no use.
I want to ask what else could i try ... or what could be causing the issue with the phone.
My thoughts is that theres is a I/O issue within the phone that is blacking the screen out when it gets to the GUI, other then that im at a loss for options.
I was having exactly the same issue with my wife's phone. When it booted up it seemed to try to turn on some of the various antennas (3G, Bluetooth), sometimes it ran the media scanning step, and then it black screened and started over. I cleared the internal SD memory and cache from recovery mode and that _seems_ to have fixed things for the moment.

What were you trying to do when the screen went black? load a gb bootloader or anything?
Hello everyone,
I have a question, sinds today my phone is doing trange thinks.
If I use the phone, don't matter what app or game sometimes my screen flips. I see very fast black screen and then is the creen back. Also the screen flips very quick from normal to landscape and back. This is not the only problem, also my battery gets hot. If I use apps or games the battery gets very hot, and normal this is not happend. This problems are getting up from to day and normal nothing strange happend.
I have reset my phone and have do a factory reset but this will not help. What can be the problem and is it possible if I flash a ROM that the problems are gone or is there a diffrent sollution of problem.
Thanks allot!!
What ROM are you using? Have you tried to flash a different kernel, like Siyah?
I use LPW ROM and its not the kernel because I use months the chainfire kernel without problems and now there are problems sins yesterday.

Hey,
I'm getting the same problem with the screen quickly going black for 1 second and then back to whatever I was doing. It seems to happen on any application. I also have the issue where the screen will randomly rotate into landscape mode, then go black, and back to portrait. It does this with the phone laying flat on a level table or holding it upright in my hand, regardless of auto-rotate being on or off. It even does it on the home screen but it seems to reload the icons after it goes black, almost like it did a RAM reset or something. The black screen flash and rotate problems seem to be related, as they started happening around the same time, but don't always happen together.
The phone is Galaxy S II LTE from rogers running ICS 4.04, stock everything including touchwhiz. I have done a factory reset using the option on the phone which appeared to fix the problem only to come back after a few hours of re downloading my apps and whatnot. Also calibrated the gyro on a level surface...no fix.
I can leave my phone plugged in and charging and quickly check a text message and reply, and my phone will be fine. But if I try to use my phone any more than that, the display gets strange artifacts (it's different every time, ranging from a dark grid overlayed on top of the image to the screen filled with different colors on each pixel) and sometimes the speaker emits a constant loud high pitched noise, even if it's on silent. I noticed one of the times that the sleep button worked, but using the touch screen and the capacitive buttons is impossible and I have to yank out the battery every time it happens. I'm running a recent CM10.1 nightly and default kernel, and I've experienced this problem independent of which nightly or kernel I'm using for the past few weeks (I have had no problems in the recovery menu). It even crashed one time upon boot up when I tried to unlock the phone immediately. Another minor problem is that my home screens got screwed up one of the times it crashed. It seems like a hardware failure to me. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this problem or has any ideas that might help. Thanks.
It certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me. I have not seen anything similar reported on these forums. Is the phone currently stock, or custom firmware? The best test to see if the problem is firmware or hardware related is to flash a fresh stock firmware using Odin3. If the problem goes away, then it is obviously a firmware issue.
If it is a hardware problem, you may have trouble flashing a fresh stock firmware, or may not be able to at all. Or if you are able to flash a new stock firmware, but the problem does not go away, then it is probably hardware.
This is my first post here in XDA (go easy on me), and I've created this account solely for the purpose of asking you fine people what to do with this problem.
My brother has a Philippines-made phone, named MyPhone TV, and it has been acting up. It's (probably) display (LCD?), the thing underneath the exterior, and interior lens (past the touch screen) is showing black and white filter like spots all around the phone, kinda looks like a cool galaxy-like thing, and I wouldn't have payed any attention to the situation if it wasn't for the fact that it would boot RIGHT AFTER the battery is placed on it's slot, but it doesn't complete the boot, it stops midway then restarts. It's a bootloop of sorts but a normal bootloop would be an understatement. I have *some* experience with bootloops since I like to mod android phones, so I tried to enter Recovery Mode, but I can't get to the wiping process because the phone RESTARTS before I can even select the option. SOMETIMES it completes the cycle and boots to the actual OS, but before I can do anything, it restarts and the cycle goes on again. I don't think a simple replacement of the complete screen will suffice.\
Visuals is on the way. Please respond ASAP, thank you.

I have never heard of your device before so excuse me.
However if its a mediatek powered phone then just use sp flash tool to flash in a new rom.
If its not mediatek and / or it continues to reboot even after flash, then the lcd or something must be messing with the power button...like keeping it pushed down or something
