Hi everybody! I have been reading here that some people had this issue, but I don't see how they solved it. I've had this issue since the beginning.
Basically, screen sensitivity is very bad when the device is unplugged, only when it's plugged in or holding it with both hands it responds correctly.
This is a problem for me, because for studying, i put the a100 on its stand case, and only need one finger to slide a word or ppt. With this grounding issue, i have to touch the a100 with both hands to make it react properly, it's very annoying and uncomfortable.
Should I take it to the technical support? it's a hardware problem? I tried the build.prop from crossix and still the same. And tried the recalibrate.apk without any success. I don't know what else I can do.
I'm still in guarantee, i'm thinking seriously to take it to SAT. But i have unlocked bootloader, how can i revert it? How should i prepare the device to keep manteining the guarantee?
people who sent the a100 to SAT with this problem, it was solved?
thanks, I really need a fix for this
I have installed the official ICS rom and now it seems locked again, and I'm not root anymore. I think it's prepared for SAT, so I've called acer technical support, they will take the tablet for repair on tuesday 15.
I will post the results when they send it back to me, if someone is interested.
Did you try it after the update to ICS? the OTA ICS updates did wonders for the sensitivity of most of our tabs.
Yes, this is happening since the beginning when I bought the tablet with honeycomb, and still happens in ICS. Let's see if the technical support can fix it! because I really love this a100 thanks!
it makes any difference to upgrade by OTA or by flashing the rom that's here? I have flashed ICS, not by OTA
Is your build .14? That's the one that seems to fix the touchscreen problems.
I have had the touchscreen issues since day one also. Same issues, works fine without a case in two hands, one handed or laying it on a table/couch the screen is jumpy, random touches, and glitchy multi-touch. I've run 3.2 gen2, ICS .014, and ICS .017. I've even popped it apart looking for something simple (and to take a look at the wifi antenna), but nothing obvious found. I would have to guess it is a manufacturing defect.

Yes it's that build (downloaded from the russian link)
This happens also in the a100 of my uncle. He has not yet the build .14, but I'm starting to think this build won't work to fix that.
I thought this build would fix the problem, but...
I want to believe it's a problem with some tabs and I had bad luck, and that technical support will fix it.
I've made this video showing the problem.

Definitely a problem with your tablet, mine is perfect.
I have similar problem but not bad us yours .. but iam out of luck because i buy it from ebay with no gurantee
I will send it tomorrow, we will see what happens xD
today my dear tablet have been sent to be repaired. I hope it will be with me soon again! xD I'll keep informing!
I've just received an email saying that my tablet is repaired! they will send it to me in the next days, very fast! I don't know if this is good or bad... xD

Well about all I can do is wish you good luck buddy
I just got a refurb off of ebay and it has a 90 day warranty thru Acer, and the fella I purchased it from.
I am not having any issues with the screen even using the stylus they sent with it.
I tried the stylus to see what the hype was with a stylus and found it to be just that hype.
Do you have any type of screen protector on your tab?
Sometimes certain ones can cause issues.
If your device is under warranty I would let them fix it.
yes I have a screen protector, but the issue is there even without it.
I will tell you when i recover my tab and see if it's fixed xD
yea its the device itself i had problems with mine.. it had become completely unresponsive after i rooted it and installed ics i sent it back to the factory took almost a month and got a new one i suggest u do the same
How do I get a new one? today I have received mine and the problem doesn't seem fixed I wonder what they did to think it was resolved

To be honest I didn't think the problem would be resolved. Contact them again and tell them the problem is not resolved; I'm sorry to say this seems like a design issue.
On the other hand, maybe you are being overly critical? My tab works well, but if I want to make the touchscreen seem less than perfect, then I would have no problems doing so. However, in practice this is a non-issue, and I have not had a problem with either my previous tab (which I sent back because it stopped charging) or my current tab (which I've had for 5 days). Of course, this is after upgrading them to official ICS releases.
I don't think I'm being critical, the fact that I can't slide a document properly without having to hold the tab with both hands is very very annoying for me, since I want it to study and the idea was to keep the tab in a stand in the table and touch it only for sliding for example. I stopped using it for this purpose due to that.
Moreover, my mother has another cheaper tablet and tactil control works so much better... In the same situations that my tab. I envy her for that, cause my tab is over 200€ more expensive and it's suposed to be better xD
I have an exam today, i will try to find time to call acer to tell them the problem is not solved.

A white line appeared down the middle of the screen last night. Its going back...
Bummer, I hate it when a new toy gets taken away so quickly like that...
Still, sadly there will always be problems with any hardware to a certain extent
and its worthy of mention that this is the only report I have heard so far so hopefully it is an isolated event
Gutted for you mate!
Hope they will pay... Most of the time when it's about the screen, you have to pay yourself:S
sorry to hear that really! hopefully you took out insurance but it will be covered by manufacturer warranty i am sure. hopefully it will just need a new ribbon and not a new screen. by what you described it may only be the ribbon. no issues with mine yet touch wood!

My unit screen is so unresponsive, Only got it today tried a few tweaks and factory reset makes no difference. Crashing and hanging for long periods also. No 3rd party software installed, No sync done. My unit is going back today just packaged it up.
The phone is so slick though best HTC handset to date.

Hard reset makes no difference with this unit. Back to my Nokia E75 for a few days till I get a replacement or I may just grab a different phone. Just tested a friends Touch Pro 2 and his is fine so it is the unit. It is a very nice phone fastest wm phone out. I just wish they would sort the Touch Flow out as it is still laggy in spots. Sure next firmware will sort it out.
Mine did similar right after the intial sync. I did a battey pull and its been working good ever since. My "s" key doesnt register unless pressed hard. Also noticed no weather in calender and when using the keyboard to type it doesnt auto capitalize but it does with the virtual keyboard

no issues wid touchflo and no lags at all! i have tweaked mine and added a few enhancements and no problem. shame if you changed phones as some real good times to come on here with this phone
Bummer, hopefully the manufacturer warranty will fix or replace it ASAP!
I'm sure they will... unless it's visible, physical damage
Hey does anyone know or tried hdtweak? Maybe it will work on our TP2

Just an update my new unit will be delivered tomorrow. Had super serivce so far from handtech just hope my new unit will be fine (I am sure it will be) Fingers crossed.
I can't wait to play around with the unit again. Only sent it back yesterday it was tested and they confirmed it was faulty.
I have been having an issue with my screen. Randomly the screen will become unresponsive. I will be playing a game or something and the screen will not respond to my presses, even the buttons at the bottom dont work. If I hit the power button to turn off the screen and wait a second it will become responsive again. This happens while the phone is in my hands so I dont think it is the grounding issue. The other strange thing is sometimes like if I am typing a text it will start doing things on its own like typing a bunch of random letters and such. Or if I am on the homescreen it will try and resize widgets and slide to the next screen.
Anybody come across this issue or know what I can do to fix it? I am running Cyanogen right now but it happened on Fresh as well all with the stock kernels.
Thanks
Yes, I have that issue as well... When I first got the phone it was a rare occurrence, but over time it seems to have gotten worse and worse. It always seems to be worse if it's plugged into the charger, too.
I decided to do something about it today, so I just flashed the stock (rooted) Sprint OTA on it, and am planning to take it to the Sprint store to see if they will replace it under warranty if I can demonstrate the problem.
I'm heading there now. When I get back, I'll post what they say about it here.
Just got back from the Sprint store...
The technician spent about 20 minutes looking at my phone, then returned it to me saying "You're right, that's pretty annoying." and said that they would replace it under warranty for free. He ordered one and said I could come get it on Monday. I know I'll get a refurbished phone, but I figure a refurbished phone that works is better than a new phone that doesn't.
It would seem that it's a hardware problem, and you'll probably also have to get yours replaced, too.
ah bummer, thanks for posting that at least now I know. I just need to figure out how I can make the issue occur so I dont waste my time at the sprint store.
Just an update, they replaced the phone and I have not seen this issue since. I've nandroided the fresh rom I was using before back onto the phone, so it is definitely a hardware issue. Just take the phone into a service center and get them to exchange it and you should be good.

Hi all,
I recently sent my GN (Running 4.0.2 stock, yakju build) back to be repaired because my phones wifi stopped working. what happens is that the phone's wifi seems be stuck "turning on", but never actually does. No wifi icon or anything appears. wifi hotspot doesnt work either. I had my GN from about a week after it was released (I'm in australia so that was about the 22nd December), and around the 15th January is stopped working. This issue cannot be fixed with a reboot, a hard reset, flashing stock roms, toggling airplane mode or anything trivial like that, as I (and others) have tried.
Now i have searched a while on google while i have been without my phone and I'm finding this problem is surfacing for other people too. From what i have seen there seems to be a correlation between 4.0.2 and this issue. Also, it seems to happen some time into the phones life; they do not have this issue when first purchased. I am concerned that this may be a recurring issue which surfaces over time, due to a design flaw or some sort of software issue. If so, this problem will start affecting a lot more people. If anyone who reads this has the same problem, could you please post when it started occuring and what rom, build etc (and anything else which may be helpful) you are running so we can shed a little light on this issue. which many more users i am sure will experience. cheers in advance
just incase anyone actually reads this Galaxy Nexus was sent back, and it was found that the printed ciruit board (PCB) needed replacing. More forums have surfaced since i last checked up on this problem so numbers are slowly rising. Once again, post here if you get the issue, we need numbers
Hi same issue i have butni solve i am living in turkey and i use habertürk news and i saw this application make notification wifi turning om.i reset my phone i load factory firmware but nothing happen ...always say wifi turning on...you need to change your system language another still write wifi turning on on screen in eglish and a application cause to this like my haberturk app

Hi,
i had the same problem, wifi mac info was not showing anymore on the Nexus. Reboot and factory reset didn't help. Wifi wouldn't come on anymore.
Ask for a replacement, that's the only thing you can do
Can i ask what version of android you guys had? I'm wondering if this is going to be a recurring problem with hardware due to software issues or if it is purely a design flaw (PCB burning out, etc..) Cheers!
I have the same problem which happened last Saturday and it frustrated the hell out of me, i flashed to different versions of OS....didnt help...
restored to factory firmware and didnt backup the pictures and stuff on the phone!! (FML)
and brought it in to Fido on monday to have it serviced....
talking about bad luck...sigh....
they told me the turn around time is 10-15 business days... (N)
will report back once i hear from them
Before the issue happened, did your phone have any other issues? Say heating up while charging or running the WiFi?
I received a device in for repair with this issue and the customer reported it got really hot before the issue started happening. Everything looked fine on the motherboard - the WiFi antennas were intact. Reloading the software did nothing which means it's a hardware issue..
So very strange. I wonder what's causing this.
i remember when my wifi stopped working i was running 4.0.2. I was actually on holidays in Japan at the time and i was wifi hopping quite a lot around the airport (i was walking around and the wifi would go out of range, latch on again... etc) not sure if that had anything to do with it. Hopped on the plane home and i remember i was on airplane mode using an app called colornote. the phone hung pretty hard and i had to pull the battery. rebooted and tried again and after 10 mins, phone crashed again doing the same thing. Got home and the wifi wasnt working. Not sure if any of this had anything to do with it, but maybe. Didnt notice any overheating, but then again i was around snow haha
hi mrmiklepower
just wondering if your phone has been good since you got it back from repair?
i noticed the phone would reboot itself over and over again after i flashed it back to the stock rom. I just called the third party repair shop that my carrier sent the phone to, they told me its still being fixed.
Oh i hope they will return me my phone soon.
My phone is actually still being repaired also. It's been a total of 2 months since i sent if back! they contacted me and all i know so far is that the phones PCD needed replacing. when my phone arrives i will update as soon as i can. should receive it sometime this week, but its not certain. the majority of my ownership of this phone has been me waiting for its return
Holy mother of lord...
I actually called the third party repair shop that my carrier uses to check on the status of the repair. And they told me its actually In quality control which means the problem was fixed and they're just testing it before they send it back to the store where I brought the phone too. Hoping they'll send it in on Monday so I can either pick it up on the day of or the next day.....keeping my fingers crossed.
Will keep you posted on the status of it too.
Sigh
Ok I got my phone back today.
on the reference sheet I got from the repair shop
it states REPLACED PBA, BGA Failure
I looked it up online and PBA means Printed Board Assembly
which probably means the motherboard was defective and had to be replaced.
and now the phone is working fine. So i guess when this phone was made, there were some flaws with the motherboard on it, thus causing this problem.
Anyways, I hope this information helps with others who experience the same problem
Thanks for letting us know! O got mine back today with the same thing. So looks like there is no way of fixing besides sending it back. Good luck to anyone else who gets this problem

So it seems there's no fix for this?
I've been doing some research and it doesn't seem anyone can fix this.. I tried reflashing, wiping every possible thing, etc.. even flashing the stock software via odin. Still no luck.. It seems that we are indeed stuck with sending it back in for a supposedly defective part which seriously blows.
My other question is.. you guys who already received your phones back, did anyone end up with the problem again?
PLEASE if anyone knows how to fix this.. chime in!!!
I had an issue similar to that with my transformer and to fix it I just flash a new kernel im not sure itwill fix the problem for you but it's worth a try

Since getting my phone back the problem has not occurred again. I don't think there is anything that can be done as a component needed to be changed apparently. Good luck :/

Thanks, when returning to stock it flashes a new kernel. Also tried it again for the hell of it with faux's kernel, still no luck .
This sucks! This very same thing happened to me yesterday! I Odined back to stock.. no luck! Now after finding this thread, it looks like a hardware issue! That blows! I'll have to give Sprint a call tomorrow!
Hmm sucks to hear it's still cropping up around the place, I heard someone say this issue entered quality control. But anyway, if it helps I've had my phone back for about a month and a bit and its still going strong. hopefully it doesn't happen again though. good luck, hopefully it won't take too long for your phone to come back!
Hi,
I'm with Telus in Canada and had the exact same problem and had my GN repaired. It took only 2 weeks and I just got my unit back. I had already read a lot online about this issue so I asked the Telus rep to tell me what the issue was. She told me that the report states that the board was replaced. This is definitely a hardware problem. I'm hoping that the new board doesn't have this problem and my phone won't need to be repaired again,
I run 4.0.1 on my phone. Telus hasn't released an update yet. I was going to update mine by switching to yakju, but that's when I noticed that the wifi is not working and I thought it's not a good idea to change the stock ROM.
On the 3rd of June 2012 I bought an Archos 80 G9 tablet, I was happy with it, it worked fine, until December 2012. Suddenly I could not charge it any more, if I connected it to try to charge it switched off. So I contacted ARCHOS repair service and I sent my tablet to ARCHOS. After almost 2 months waiting for a replacement, they upgraded my old tablet with a brand new ARCHOS 101 xs. I was a little fed up because I was waiting almost 2 months for a replacement but, well, I thought, let's give ARCHOS an opportunity.
Guess what. The brand new ARCHOS 101 xs was faulty as well. Without touching the screen the borders are active, it goes back or opens the menu on the clock side without touching it, if you are watching a video the menu appears without touching it. I tried whatever I could: I tried not to touch the keyboard connection (thinking I could short-circuit the tablet), I rotated it because maybe it was a problem with some corners, I upgraded to 4.1 and to 4.1.2 and also I downgraded to 4.0.26, I recalibrated the screen from Android menu, I recalibrated the screen from Archos recovery menu, I reset android and I reinstalled android.
I wrote ARCHOS replacement and they asked me to send it again. GREAT
I received the replacement (second replacement, third faulty Archos tablet), apparently a brand new Archos 101 XS(PC123902679), I say apparently because it fails again. What a coincidence, don't you think?
I recalibrate the screen a dozen of time, and blah blah blah...
Now I've recorded some videos showing the behaviour of the screen without touching it but I cannot added them because I'm a new user on XDA.
The same day I received the tablet I called archos (didn't work) and I wrote to [email protected] and to [email protected], after 12 days they don't response to me. What do you think? What should I do? I'm waiting for a solution since January, first time I sent the tablet to RMA.
My situation is very similar to yours. I had three faulty 101G9s in the space of a few months!
Eventually Archos upgraded me to a 101XS but this tablet displays exactly the same problem you are describing.
My screen suffers from touches even when I'm not even handling it.
I don't really want to send back to Archos again (yet) as it means being without a tablet and restarting with all my apps etc yet again.
I have found a way to calibrate the screen to stop this issue.
Hopefully it might work for you too.
First, in Developer Options enable Show Touches.
Then In Repair and Formatting calibrate the screen when you can see the phantom touches being recognised : I have to hold my tablet at the very edges (not touching the screen) and then I see touches displayed at the bottom-left, top-left and top-right of the screen.
Sometimes it takes a couple of tries but you know it has worked when part way through calibration the areas showing touch, stop displaying (as though they're no longer being touched).
I plan to use my tablet as it is until just prior to the warranty expiring and then send it back because, although I have found a solution, it is still far from perfect; the digitiser is definitely faulty.

Thanks Extreme_One that worked for me! Maybe I will do the same and send it back just prior the warranty expiring. Although, I don't know, maybe I keep it as it is, I'm tired to deal with Archos.

Archos are by far the worst piece of kit I have ever used. As for customer service....non existent. I too have a 101XS....with too many problems to list. Ended up getting a Samsung Tab 10"....not a single problem. Archos release a media player....then ask you to pay for the codecs to be able to watch media on it. Cowboy outfit with low spec/tech.....soap box away!
Another bad experience
Hi Everybody.
I'd want to share my own bad experience with Archos service department.
I bought an 101xs at the third quarter of 2013. A few days after it fell down from my hands while the earphones were plugged, the outcome was earphone jack not working anymore.
I asked for an RMA clarifying that the problem was my fault so I wanted to pay for the repair. They agreed and sent me the RMA and I delivered the tablet to France (35 euros shipping cost!).
Briefly: they sent me the device back, unrepaired, saying that warranty did not cover physical damage! No message quoting our previous mail conversation was successful. Always the same reply: "Warranty does not cover physical damage".
I wonder... was I contacting human beings? Maybe they are but, are they Chinese recently migrated to France?
Never ever more Archos!
It's interesting what touchscreen chip (digitizer) does this tablet have? What's the output of "lsmod" and what's the output of "cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/name" on stock firmware? This problems are mostly due to cheap or buggy touchscreen chip or due to bad EM shielding inside some parts of the device. It may happen also when you are charging the device and using its touch screen simultaneously on cheap digitizers.
I realize I am late to this, but after sending in a dead G9 I also got the 101 xs. I must be one of the lucky few, been working great for the last few years, wife loves it.
Did not like RMA experience though, like most it took months. On the plus side, my G9 WAS out of warranty and they still sent me a free replacement.
Hi guys!
I have a F180L (converted on a E975), my phone never fell from any distance, or had any kind of impact, BUT...Since I updated to last version o Carbom ROM, I've got a issue on my screen...
There are random touches on my down-left corner of the screen. It's completely random, while the charger is plugged, or not. But it only happens when an app is opened, while in homescreen (even on google now cards) everything is ok...
I've already flashed another rom, the AOKP Android L release 11, the problem still here...I installed a screen tester app, and this corner is not recognizing when I touch.
What can I do? Is there any kind of fix for it?
It's really annoying (mainly while typing)...
Thank you for any help!
I guess its time for a replacement.
Made some research on other forums and found some people with the same problem, but on other devices...On Nexus 4 and Xioami (mostly)...They solved this by replacing the battery...I'll try to do that this week...
But any other tip about can help...
it might be a kernel issue
if u have jolla kernel try changing the kernel first
I have also the ghost touching on my E975.
Tried to do a scan with antivirus with no luck.
For instance it's hard to dial number, because there are ghost touches often.
It's like on tihs video, but I have touches even more often:

I'm on stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
Any ideas about the issue?

It's relatively common issue, hope it will not appear again...
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I seem to have a problem with my screen, not with the ghostly touches but my screen has like one part of it not responsive to touches especially the keyboard. While typing in portrait mode I can't type in the letters x and d and the whole line of the screen above those letters can't respond to my touches. The others are OK though. Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me? Already flashed different ROMs but same problem
So...I didn't manage to get a new battery to perform a test yet...Maybe I'll do that until the end of this week, and post the results here...
About the kernel...Mine is "3.4.0 [email protected]" ...
Going to update to new Kevin's L ROM and see what will happen...Hope I can help u, guys...
I had the same problem as well, unfortunately my phone was just out of the warranty period so I couldn't get a repair or replacement. I tried everything to do with the software and firmware at first to see if that was the issue(no luck). I noticed when my phone was either hot from heavy usage or charging, it was at its worst..couldn't even put my lock pattern in without it spazzing out. After almost throwing my phone at a wall numerous times I decided to get a new digitizer (easily bought online at reasonable prices). Watched a tutorial on Youtube and replaced it successfully and haven't had a problem since.

So tried the touchscreen test and found out it was like a whole strip of screen that got affected. It was okay just a few days ago though,

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit). Yeah the Moto G look great but it seems to be more of a downgrade from your current handset right?

Yeah no problem and thats unlucky. I've got the Korean variant and wasn't ready to wait weeks to get my new digitizer either from Asia. I managed to find a european version that arrived next day and included front housing aswell (although modifications were needed a bit for the internals to fit).

Where did you get the eu one? My screen has been like that for a long while, I have learned to live with it, but would love to change it.
thanks

I live in the UK I managed to find one here on ebay. I know you can get some from Italy , Spain and I'm positive there some in US aswell. Search "E975 housing or digitizer" depending on what your after. Do be careful as some replacements screens lack the LG logo or a bad quality. Im would give direct link but im not sure about the forum rules on that are. If your still unsure do PM me your country and I'll PM you back an appropriate link.
Hope I helped.
