Touch Touchscreen issue

Okay so I've had my Ipod Touch for less than 48 hours, and all of the sudden for the last 12 hours my touch screen is now intermittently working.... Furthermore it only seems to be certain areas of the touch screen (the bottom half near the home button). Doesn't matter what application I'm in but about 25-35% of the time that area of the touch screen will not work for anywhere from 2-15 seconds. It's getting quite annoying. I have no clue why its doing this Its practically brand new, it hasn't been dropped, hit, or forcefully used in any manner, nor has it suffered any other abuse. Certainly nothing that would explain this. I'm not sure if this is an issue others are having and its just an issue with some iPod touches or if its specific to mine...

Touchscreen issue since IOS 5.1

Is anyone else having problems with the touchscreen since installing IOS 5.1? It seems like the calibration is off.
I am also unable to install apps. Ive tried restoring and soft resets but nothing seems to work.
Am I the only one? or does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Sorry -- no fixes for you but I, too, am experiencing this problem with my iPod Touch 4th gen. I even did a restore and reinstall from iTunes to see if there had been in installation issue (I had an installation issue over wi-fi where the Apple logo appeared with an empty progress bar for most of an hour). After a couple of re-boots it finally kicked in but with the touchscreen issue. The restore didn't resolve anything. Kinda got a gut feel like the updates for the Ipad 3 screen resolution is what is causing the problem on the small screen of the iPhone/iPod. My iPad 1 isn't having any issues. I don't know if my wife's iPod is problematic or not. Both her iPad 1 and iPod 4 were updated last weekend but haven't heard any reports.

Very Strange Touchscreen Issue

I recieved and activated my new 8GB iPhone about two days ago and it worked great up until just a few hours ago. I am experiencing the known issue of the bottom 1/2 inch or so of the touchscreen not responding to my touch, which in turn is affecting a lot of main elements of the phone such as SMS, e-mail, iPod, etc. Among that issue, I also encountered a very strange occurrence whilst I was testing the 'dead zone' on my iPhone: Certain sections of the dead zone work if I hover my finger about 2 -3 centimeters from the screen. It is a very strange thing but true, lol. I can even capture video footage of this if it's necessary.
Since I bought my iPhone from an AT&T store, should I return it to them for a new one on the spot or should I do it through Apple? I hope it doesn't come down to the latter since I do not live anywhere near an Apple Store (New Orleans, LA) and I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T so I'd really hate to purchase a cheap temporary phone while my iPhone is being replaced/fixed.
Edit: Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!

I just talked to Apple Support and they are going to repair it for me, it's just I need to wait til Friday since I am broke from Christmas! Once I get paid, then I can dish out the 30 dollars to get a rental iPhone to hold me over. The restore temporarily fixed the touchscreen issue since it happened again hours later.
Also, nobody I know who would have a spare AT&T phone doesn't come to mind so I can't just borrow a phone and start the repair process now, but the wait isn't too bad. At least they do not limit the iPhone rental to just physical Apple Store customers!
Thanks for the help, folks. :V

Touchscreen Issues Growing Across G2 Owner Community...

There is a well-documented defect in the G2 software that surfaces as erratic touchscreen behavior. I am active on XDA and Android Central forums trying to identify the cause of this issue and trying to get LG and VZW to address it with a software update. I have also posted on social media attempting to get the attention this deserves. In addition, I have created a "Voice of the Customer" defect report with LG.
I have provided links below for your reference rather than duplicate all of that text in this post. Just these two threads alone currently have over 15,000 visits by G2 owners, many of which have already observed this defect.
Here is the XDA thread that I started that clearly describes the problem, complete with YouTube links and the latest on this G2 defect:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521663
Here is the Android Central thread to which I contribute:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g2/317709-g2-touch-screen-issues.html
The G2 community is calling for LG and VZW to weigh-in on this issues. A large number of G2's are being returned, which can't bode well for VZW or LG.

My problem is that sometimes the touchscreen doesn't respond - in fairly critical situations, like if I get a call while another application is open, the mini- "answer, ignore" screen comes up, and I cannot hit answer. It doesn't respond. I have to quickly open the Phone, then hit answer and that will work.
If I go to google play store, the install button won't work. but it WILL work if I turn the phone to landscape.
Other applications - random things, but important, like in my banking app, if I try to deposit a check, the "continue" button will not work, no matter the orientation of the phone.
These things did not used to happen. I don't know if it's an app I loaded recently that is causing the problem? Recent apps loaded are Endomondo, Strava, Any.do, DejaOffice. Anyone else have this?

IPad Touchscreen Issues

I recently sent my new 16GB wifi iPad to Apple due to some touchscreen issues I was having. Upon receiving the iPad, Apple did testing on it and concluded that they could not reproduce the issue. The problem was that there was a ½" portion of the touchscreen not responding to touch. I got back my original iPad unaltered and immediately set it up as a new iPad on my computer and tested it using the Adobe Ideas app to ensure the touchscreen was working properly. The same issue is occurring as was before sending it in. It was recommended that I make a youtube video of the issue and post it on this board to get help in fixing the problem.
Here's the video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_U-3kBIJ90

Just take it to the Apple store genius bar. The video / demo you showed should be more than enough to have it addressed on the spot.

TouchSmart 310 1020 touchscreen issues

My TouchSmart 310 1020 has touchscreen issues. Only part of the screen will work, the rest of the screen doesn't recognize touch commands. Specifically, the only part of the screen that will work for touch is the bottom left quarter, the rest of the screen doesn't work. I tried to clean it, I also ran the calibration utility to no avail. With the calibration utility, when the target would move out of the useable area I was unable to touch the targets. I also reset the calibration settings to no avail.
Do touchscreens partially stop working? Should I replace the screen or is there a simpler solition?

I have an HP TouchSmart 320-1030 that I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have had similar issues at various times.
1. Believe it or not, some of the calibration issues I experienced in the past were actually caused by Microsoft's calibration tool! Undoing the calibration helped. To do that:
Move the mouse pointer to the lower left corner of the screen, right-click, and select Control Panel from the menu.
Click Hardware and Sound.
Click Tablet PC Settings.
On the Display tab of Tablet PC Settings, click Reset (if the Reset button is grayed-out, that means there is no data to undo.)
When prompted, click Yes to allow Microsoft's Digitizer Calibration Tool to make changes to your computer.
2. To get my touch screen to work after upgrading to Windows 8, I had to disable my graphics card.
You will find the instructions on how to do that in this HP support document (the fourth set of instructions under Touch screen doesn't work after upgrading to Windows 8):

Taken Aback- touchscreen issue

I have enjoyed and supported this company's products and services for some time. So, today when I inquired with tech support about my touchscreen issue (non working band of the screen ..the 456 area on the dialpad)...I was taken aback at the very least that I should send my phone in for repair and then PAY for a loaner. hmmm..I just paid 700 for a phone that is now handicapped two months later by what seems to be a common issue, accourding to the forums, and I should fork over some more $$$? Principle alone may make me dust off my Blackberry.

these kind of comments are just besides the point. there is a degree of company loyalty that is ok, but this is a clear shortcoming of Apple's understanding of the mobile market. I am a huge Apple fan (have had Macs for more than 20 years, I had a Newton, and now the iPhone), but I have also had about 30 mobile phones over the last 15 or so years. And I have to say that I have never had a phone before that broke, that needed repair. Or that broke just by falling down (that is what happened to my iphone, one fall out of 1.5 feet and the screen is cracked). What Apple has to understand is that the mobile phone market is not the computer market. Phones have to work and have to survive some everyday punishments, otherwise they are just nice looking but otherwise useless devices. Just take a look at Palms and Blackberrys, the thing about them is that they work, just like Nokias and in the past Ericsson's.

WT10-A Touch screen Issues

I bought this less than a week ago and i am having issues with the touch screen. It just stops working all of a sudden for no reason and i have to restart to make it work. It will work fine for hours sometimes but sometimes i have to restart every five minutes. Can someone please help me solve this issue. ThanksKarman

I'm no scientist (although I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express)... but do you think that perhaps the touch screen issues a lot of folks are experiencing could be due to liquid evaporation? Maybe these people are leaving the iPhone in a hot car (or some other really warm place) for an extended period and not admitting it? I mean it is summertime.
Not liquid, but you could be onto something.
Heat is one of the few things that can cause a capacitive screen system go out of calibration, due to the effect on surrounding part specs. Perhaps that's what we're seeing.
I suppose someone with the problem could stick their phone in the refrigerator (not freezer!) for ten minutes and see if that cures their problem.
More likely, there are several different problems going on, and what works for one won't work for others.
My biggest suspicion is that a memory interface is on the edge (either power or timing), and thus weird glitches show up. Restorting the device only when it is fully charged might be one experiment. Give us a dozen bad devices, the source code, a lab with an ICE, and a coupla weeks... and we could figure out what's going on.

Z10 Touchscreen Issues - Possible Solution?

A few months back my Z10 touchscreen became unresponsive. I could not find a solution, so I purchased a new Z10. Recenty I dropped the new Z10 in water...so, still in posession of the old unresponsive Z10, I decided to give it another try. I put my sim card in, and the new battery that came with the new phone. VOILA! Works like a charm. Try replacing your battery. i wish I had known this months ago, could have saved myself spending $200 on a new phone upgrade.

I'm happy for your positive outcome but I would argue that the battery was not the culprit. Sure, it appears that it was but exchanging batteries to correct a touchscreen issue is not something we would have suggested; I'm sure this is just coincidence.
Whatever the situation, you now have a Z10 in perfect working order. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Za touchscreen issues

I recently bought a Z1 and i found an annoying touchscreen issue that might be a software bug.
If i put my Phone on a flat surface the touchscreen does not respond wel. It detects taps that are not there. Unlocking Phone with strong pattern lock is almost impossible.

Touch Screen Issues on Xperia Z1

Who else is experiencing touch screen issues?
On my phone, the screen fails to register the finger gesture appropriately, for instance, a tap on the screen will be identified as scroll up. single touch on the back button will be registered as many taps, ultimately exiting the application.
OHH!this phone has made my life **bleep**!

Touchscreen issues if not touching iPhone frame!

Hi all,
I´m experiencing a major issue with the iPhone 4 Touchscreen:
As soon as I lay down the iPhone on any surface and trying to open an app
or make an entry or so with one finger, the Phone often just doesn´t react!
Sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.
Only if I touch the frame, everything is working perfectly.
Is anyone having the same problems? And @apple support: How to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Paul

@iMatt.co.tv: Just keep your senseless comments for you, if you don´t understand
the question!
And if someone didn´t understand (like underexposed iMatt does), I´m talking
about the steel frame, that needs to be touched so that my Phone accepts the
touch command.
It seems as if this is a grounding problem, because as soon as I plug the Phone
to a grid (either on the Mac or a plug socket) it works fine.
By the way, a FW Update didn´t solve the issue and a friend´s iPhone 4 doesn´t
have this problem, so I guess I´m going to exchange a 2 day old iPhone.
I´m curios how often I have to change this one...my iPhone 3G has been changed
3 times during 2 years.
Thanks for HELPFUL replies.
