If you are an Epic Touch user that is experiencing the LOS (Loss of Signal) issue please click on the link below and report in that thread with Sprint.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/339779
If you do end up posting on the Sprint site please do post in this thread as well...
Also it was just pointed out that there also is a Samsung support Twitter @ www.twitter.com/samsungsupport
(Please also contact there if you experience LOS)
If you would like to follow this up with a call to tech support, it will help. Try and get transferred to advanced tech support.
This needs to happen from as many people experiencing this as possible!
Don't be lazy!
Thx!

I don't think those other threads were specifically aimed at getting people to do this
I have been told by a reliable source that sprint is aware there is an issue and their engineers are working diligently to find a fix.

I hope your reliable source wasn't a Sprint CSR.
Those of us coming from the Moment were constantly being told that by Sprint regarding the radio lock up issue. They never did fix it. It wasn't until the devs at SDX got 2.2 onto the phone that the issue went away.
I have also found that tweeting complaints to www.twitter.com/samsungsupport during business hours will get a quick response, which results in escalation of real issues.

Nice find! Thx!
i just got off the phone with sprint and they told me that samsung pushed an update on friday to fix a delay in receiving text messages which has borked the internal antenna. that would explain why i only started having problems yesterday.... sprint will give you a ticket number and they will fix your phone for free at a store.
call up and get it fixed.
its only going to get worse!

This is false. The issue has been going long since before Friday.
It will be fixed in the first update though.
... and here I was thinking about exchanging my 3D for a GS2... it seems the signal problems are widespread to all phones. :/

Its not a showstopper and it doesnt happen on all devices. So if it happens when you get it use your 30 swap to get a new replacement. It hasnt happened on mine at all. Also there is going to be a fix... So, with all of that said I cannot think of a single thing that should cause anyone to decide not to get this and choose another phone. Thx

It is a 14-day swap unless you bought your device pre-launch.
This is a total show stopper, I have 2 of these and they both do it constantly. I cant even surf for more then 10 minutes without it happening to both units. I cant make calls, I cant receive calls, cant go online, cant use streaming music, cant use navigation. total waste at this point. I love the phone physically and its great when on WiFi but that's only 1/4 of the day. I am not taking a chance of getting stuck with a phone that I cant even make calls on. maybe I will try again once everything gets fixed but for now its not worth the trouble.

You have something seriously wrong with yours then. I've had mine since launch and it's done it twice. You should exchange yours.
I rooted my phone and got this for the first time the next day. Hasn't happened before that. Didn't even know what you guys were seeing until it happened. I just got a zero with a line across the middle of it in my top bar and my signal bar and data icon were gone.
Is that what people are getting also that have not rooted their phone? When I say not rooted, not the people who rooted then installed the stock kernal back on. People who never rooted in the first place. That is what I would like to know.
Mine did it once before rooting, once after.
And yes, it happened just like you described. I thought rooting and flashing Zedo v3 fixed it, but it didn't.

Cool, I hope it is device problem and not just a rooting problem. This way we can get a fix for it from Samsung, hopefully.
I have it on good authority it will be fixed in the first software update from Sprint. No idea when that will be though. It's not a rooting problem.
Hi there,
first of all i apologize for my poor english. Got my Galaxy Nexus for a week and i'm not very excited about ICS. I expected great battery life and a few bugs but i've seen a lot. There's an annoying one : sometime my phone seem to live without my touch. If i'm with keyboard on it starts to type messages like "dajhfhakjerehk" then it go on the home and start open apps randomly without my touch. Seems like the volume bug but different; anyone experiencing this issue ?
I hope that's only software, otherwise i had to bring the phone back to the seller very soon.. I wish that 4.0.3 will be released soon so i can decide if it's software or hardware problem.
Thank you all in advance.
I have the same problem with mine, it doesn't happen often though and I can't reproduce it on queue but I have had my phone for 3 weeks now and it has happened happened several times so it's not just a one time thing.

If you're running stock software and this happens frequently I think you should return your device for a new one - sounds like a faulty digitiser to me...

It only happens every other day or even more rarely and it just for a short period so I'm not sure what is doing it.
I also have the more common multi-touch bug after using some 3D games like Heavy Gunner so I'm more inclined to believe that it is something that triggers it similar to that than for the digitizer to be faulty, but that might just be me trying to convince myself that it will be fixed since I don't want to go through the hassle to replace the phone.
Hopefully google will release the next update again soon, be it 4.0.2 again or .3 or whatever, I'm still on ad yakjuxw with 4.0.1 so I was going to wait untill I get the update before I take any action.

I have the exact same problem, and I must say I am so relieved to see it's just a software bug! Thanks, Rilazi
sorry for bumping this thread but the issue it's very annoying.. I can't even use my phone, it start doing things himself!! How can i do ?
So I'm one of the unfortunate users that has the stupid mic muting issue. I've just been dealing with it and waiting to see if a update from vzw ends up fixing it. Well, it's been five months and still no update. I rooted my phone immediately after the first time I ran into the problem. I'm on the 4.0.4 radio now and it's still there.
So has anybody had luck switching out devices? It sucks because my screen is beautiful and the call muting issue is the only one I have. Should I go through the hassle of getting a replacement?
Edit* crap, can a mod move this to q/a.

I've never had this issue on my LTE GNex. I don't believe its a common issue. I would definitely get it replaced.
what exactly happens that mutes it, and for how long? does it happen when you are not holding the phone?
reason i ask, is the microphone is a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, and if you hold the phone like many do, with a finger underneath, even slightly blocking this hole will completely mute the microphone out.

To all Verizon Galaxy Nexus users who have no idea what issue we are talking about, read the following:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
It basically happens on full signal (with LTE and/or CDMA turned off and on), stationary or moving, under bluetooth + speaker + ear piece while physically holding the phone or not, makes our voice turn into a choppy robotic sound and we can hear them but the other party can't hear me.
Only resolution to this problem is hang up and call again.
There is a huge variation among devices, some has this issue as soon as 5 seconds into a phone call, some have it well into 15 mins or even 40 mins into a call. Some happens basically on every other call, some happens once in a bluemoon.
Yes, we've all tried every single ROMs and radios. And yes, we are not holding it wrong to cover our mic with our finger tips.
And yes, it is not user error because it happened to all 2 new gnex and 2 refurbished replacements STOCK without any apps on it. I got mine to happened on pretty much the entire state of california (I travel very frequently from SoCal to NorCal)
The only reason a few might not face this issue is simply because 1) either they picked the cream of the crop out of all these affected devices 2) not using the GNex as a phone as much as some of us do.
I simply do not use GNex for business purposes...
To OP, getting a replacement might help a little but no promises.
Man I'd have replaced it long ago. I would imagine it's hardware related or they would've pushed an OTA to fix it. I read somewhere that Verizon stated an update would be sent out that would fix it, but I'm not buying it.

Yeah I'm just scared to swap it out and receive one with a ****ty screen. Plus I have a invisible shield on here. And there's no guarantee it will be resolved. Has anyone had any luck with swapping them out? I really don't want to switch to a different phone. I've waited for a nexus device to hit verizon for so long.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
Ya know, honestly, I'm not all that impressed with the phone. I've only had it a couple weeks, but it doesn't do anything better than the Epic 4G Touch that I came from. The E4GT was awesome, the Sprint network, not so much. The camera and battery life were just so much better and I'm struggling with that.

Gotcha Bro

I just got off the phone with VZW about this very issue. They said they have a release tentatively scheduled for May, but "tentatively" could end up being August. It's a known issue so, there's no workaround for it and getting a replacement probably won't help.
The only thing they could possibly offer is switching to another device altogether. Spec-wise, the Galaxy Nexus is at the top for me so I don't want another phone. (frustration)
Alas, depending on what's important to you, you may just be better off waiting for the update. :-(

I know it's kind of a old thread but wanted to update my experiences.
I am on my second replacement now and I'm sticking with it. I've had the issue maybe 3 times in the month I've had it. My first replacement had a terrible screen, crappy signal, and the muting issue happened just as frequently as before if not more.
I'm assuming this will never be spoken of by Samsung since we've already had the phone almost a year with no acknowledgement. I just hope the next nexus is a different manufacturer (HTC especially) since every Samsung phone I've had has had issues with the actual phone part. My first being the fascinate and now this. Especially since if I want to upgrade from now on ill end up paying full price.

I have had the same problem.
I've gone through 2 replacements and still the same issues have occurred. The update that was supposed to fix this was released in May and it fixed nothing. I called Verizon several times asking what will be done about this. Their answer is that another update will fix this. I frankly don't believe it.
Verizon also told me that Samsung is aware and they're "actively" working on a fix.
Being that I use this phone to make business calls, I can't have a phone that I can't depend on. Their answer: We can give you the RAZR. Not the RAZR Maxx - the RAZR.
I said that won't work because the RAZR doesn't compare to my phone as far as specs go. It's worth 200 less than my phone on their website.
The only phone that compares to mine is the Galaxy S3. Not to mention, I flat-out don't like the RAZR (or the RAZR Maxx). They said they couldn't give me the S3 because the phone was just released.
So, in short, I'm VERY upset with Verizon, because I don't feel like I'm being treated fairly. I'm willing to wait for this so called fix they will push out since my warranty is until December and they claim they'll get it right this time. But if this doesn't work....well, I feel sorry for whichever Customer Rep catches my evil side lol.
Yeah they are gonna get an earful tomorrow when I call. I've had the phone maybe 18 days and it didn't start this until day 11 and ever since its been non stop. I don't think any of us should suffer through calling 10-15 times per 30 minute conversation.

Exact same story they told me. I'm in my 5th device. 1st one camera broke completely and signal issues. 2nd one screen had a nasty yellow tint on half the screen. 3rd one had the worst screen I had ever seen. I wish I would have taken pictures to show. 4th one was great till the ear speaker completely went out and the speaker broke. 5th one that I currently have has a beautiful screen with no issues so far.

After downloading the app Multi touch screen test I have found that the nexus has problems receiving 10 touches at once. There is ghost touches when ten fingers are placed in the test. Sometimes the screen is unresponsive and glitches. My device is not rooted (don't want it to be because i will loose my warranty), It is brand new running 4.4.4 Kitkat with runtime ART, Model number is KTU84P. Any possible fixes? Thanks in advance.

I think 10 is a bit overkill. Does it do it with 5?
If yes, RMA. Don't bother with flashing the TS files.
Ummmmmmm... Why on earth do you need to place all ten of your fingers on the screen at once? Anyways, the ghost touches on Nexus 7 2013 are a known issue. I haven't come across any fixes for nonrooted device. Good luck.

10 fingers is an example when it the ghost touches are "activated" straight away. When I leave the nexus for sometime it starts having trouble with three fingers and five. Is there a way of fixing this if i rooted my device (i have a mac).

I'm wondering how many people are productive on their tablets when using 10 fingers at once on the screen. I can't seem to get the hang of it.
Have you tried it with 20 fingers? If it works with 20 fingers simultaneously, then the screen is made of awesome sauce, IMO.

Hi all,
I have recently been noticing ghost scrolls, where I would be slowly scrolling downwards, say, in the XDA app or reddit app, and randomly it would scroll quickly upwards when I lift my fingers. I was thinking this was a hardware issue so I got a replacement device on the way. However, I saw this https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/7rczu2/scrolling_up_when_scrolling_down/.
Has anyone else been experiencing the same thing? I posted a vid and pic https://imgur.com/a/ny8fT. The second pic is touch input trace enabled in developer options, you can see there was a ghost long fast drag down to the bottom below the navbar.
Have been away from XDA for a while, please let me know if I am going against any rules about posting images hosted on other sites.
I wonder if something like this is what causes Twitter to randomly show me a different tweet when I tap on one. (maybe it's doing a phantom scroll briefly).

yep, thats happened to me a few times before as well. Not twitter specifically, but in reddit I would click on a post, and somehow I would end up on some random other post like 2 post below it, and if I hit back once, I get to the post I originally intended to click on instead of the subreddit list.
So there must be some sort of ghost touches/scrolls on finger release, causing the unintended post to be queued up just before the intended one.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more people bringing up this issue (assuming this is indeed a software 8.1 issue and not an isolated issue in the touch panel).
Reddit has done that to me too, come to think of it.
Agreed that it's surprising we aren't hearing more of this. Makes me wonder if I should do a warranty swap.

definitely doesnt sound like a hardware issue.. ive experienced this on more devices than the p2xl and more so on stock.. u also might get it when ur data lags..
on the available custom roms i cant say i remember the last time it occurred.. either way, it cant be that bad to even remotely consider replacing it

Oh really? Have you only experienced this on 8.1 only, or also 8.0? I had the pixel 2 xl back in October/November on 8.0 and didn't experience any of this. I just repurchased the 2 xl several days ago and immediately noticed it within the first few hours of playing around with it.
I think it definitely is a software bug, if not a hardware issue. The touch input trace shows a ghost drag of a perfectly straight line to the bottom of the touch panel with an incredibly high Yv, I got one as high as 179. Normal hard flick scrolling would top out at around 30 or 40, so definitely something fishy going on here, whether it's software or hardware.
It happens for me like between 5 and 10 times within half an hour to an hour, and they are usually annoying enough where I lose my place where I was scrolling.

prolly 8.1.. i got mine around december late nov. pretty sure its software related.. they had an issue with touch on the lockscreen right?
It seems like so many touch issues with 8.1 release. For this reason, I am still using 8.0.

Any update with the replacement device? I am having the same sporadic ghost scroll: I'll be scrolling down a page on reddit or slickdeals app (happens with other apps as well), and randomly it'll perform a strong up-scroll... I notice it more often when I lay in bed on my side, and have the screen orientation locked to portrait, resting the phone on the bed horizontally...

Replacement device has the same issue, so this is definitely a software bug. Hopefully Google fixes it soon in the next patch update.
Nexus 6P here. I started getting these ghost touches with the last security update. 8.1 is the problem, not a solution.
My mom has the same issue of touch on places she doesn't touch, on Pixel XL.
Could it be the same?
Here is a video about it that I took, just by scrolling in the settings screen:

It's a bit hard to reproduce, but it occurs eventually.
Has anyone tried to use Android P, and see if it helps?
Anyway, I've reported about this here too:

Any fixes yet?
I know this is old, but I wanted to know if anyone found a fix for this. I eventually found an Oreo 8.1 Rom that I like and this is the only issue that's bothering me.
