Top of the screen not touch sensitive sometimes.

I bought a brand new razr maxx 2 weeks ago.  Right after I got it I found that periodically the top of the screen would not be touch sensitive.  I would not be able to pull down the notification panel or click on buttons in apps where the button was at the top.  This would happen sometimes and other times it would work fine. 
I also noticed that during the time the top of the screen was not sensitive, the rest of the phone was fine.  Using the developer debugging tools it showed that I could not move the pointer to the top of the screen.
It would fix itself in the following way:  after a while the screen would freeze.  At that time if I pressed the power button to turn the screen (and not the phone) off and then on, it would start working again.
I have done a full factory reset.  I did not add any new apps since I got the phone.  I tried killing various processes.  Nothing helped.
I showed it to the verizon technician and his only suggestion was to get a replacement phone (which will be refurbished).  Since I think this might be a software issue, I am not sure how that would help.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix this issue.
thanks,

    Hi Leotor
The problems you described would be very upsetting. Let's get this addressed. I'm not showing any known issues with the screen and freezing. It may be the device itself. We may need to look at a replacement.
Our replacements do pass a thorough inspection. See all about them here: http://bit.ly/R69yVZ
Please send me a private message with your account information. I would be glad to get a replacement device ordered.
Thank you

  • My iPod Touch screen is so sensative that when I have my finger right above the screen, not touching it, it will open the app or click on the letters on the keyboard that I have not touched.  How to stop this?

    All of a sudden my iPod Touch 4 Gen (got for Christmas in 2012) has started behaving strangely.  When I go to type on the virtual keyboard I don't even have to touch the screen and the iTouch starts acting as if it's possessed and will start typing those letters that I'm hovering my finger over ... and it's usually not the letter I want.  Has anyone ever had this happen?  It's very frustrating.

    First make sure your fingers and screen are clean. After that all yo can do is:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I turn off the function that touch the top of the screen then turn to the top of the page automatically

    I know the I pad have a function that when you touch the top of the screen, the page will turn to the top automatically. But this function always make trouble. Especially when you are reading some long papers. I would like to turn it off. What can I do ? Thank you!

    It's not something that you turn off, there isn't a setting for it, you will just have to try to avoid touching the top part of the screen. Apart from that you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Touch input appears to be sporadic near the top of the screen.

    I just update to 2.0 and have installed some apps. I am having an issue with the touch screen not registering input consistently at the top of the screen (this is new since 2.0, all was fine yesterday) If I tap several times, I can usually get a touch to register, but this is HIGHLY annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this problem after the 2.0 upgrade? It seems that tapping on the mid/top of the first row of apps is not being registered, but it is registering a touch if I tap on the lowest portion of the icon.

    I guess the good news is that this seems to be software related for me. The App screen has issues, but certain other apps/screens do not (ITunes download screen). It also appears to be affecting slightly different regions in different apps ... WeatherBug setting required numerous taps to select, but icons in the same location on the Home screen tap just fine. WeatherBug is interesting because, it has a mini-title bar, and if I factor that out the issues seems to be in the same place on any give "App" window.

  • Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal

    Hi, After I try to load either an existing or new project in Adobe Premier Elements 9 I just get a blank grey screen with none of the timeline, etc. boxes on view. This has suddenly happened, one day OK next not! At the top of the screen I get the normal Pre icon, File, Edit, Clip, etc.
    I am planning on purchasing Premier Elements 13, would it be better if I bought a new program rather than download an upgrade, just in case the upgrade doesn't load properly due to the error with my existing program?
    If I the deleted Premier Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that were produced using Premier Elements 9 or would they be saved so that they can still be worked on in Premier Elements 13?
    Does Premier Elements 13 work with Windows 7?
    Thanks
    Terry

    Premiere Elements 13 absolutely works with Windows 7!
    In fact, I'd highly recommend you download the free trial and give it a test run.
    Meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, including those that don't install automatically. Then go to the nVidia or ATI site and ensure you have the latest driver for your graphics card, and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.

  • Has anybody else been seeing (Not Responding) at the top of the screen and having thier browser not respond to wheel scrolling and scrolling with the usual slider at the right part of the screen?

    I have noticed my Firefox browser is having way too many incidences where it is "Not Responding". The browser freezes up for a second quite often and the "Not Responding" message will appear at the top of the screen.
    The browser will also not scroll with either the scroll bar on the right nor with the mouse wheel. Both used to work in previous versions of Firefox, but it seems to have gotten worse since Firefox 5 0r 6. The same with the "Not Responding". It is happening more with Firefox 7 than in at least the past two versions.
    Anybody else having these issues? Seems like they are hand-in-hand. Thanks for any and all help or advice. It's making me pretty angry since I'm online all day for work.
    Just an FYI. At the bottom of my troubleshooting copy/paste is a suggestion to update the driver for my graphics. That was a no-go. I tried that.

    Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
    One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
    Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

  • Why is the top of my screen not working in any of my downloaded  apps?

    When I use my FaceBook or any of my picture editing applications, it doesn't respond to the touch at the top of the screen.

    Have you tried to reset it?

  • I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

    I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal).  icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
    Thanks

    Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

    Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

    One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
    You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.
