Sometimes when scrolling, as I swipe my finger across the screen, it will just stop tracking my finger. Even if I am pressing firmly. Once it stop tracking it will not start again till I fully lift my finger and press down again. It happens on all the roms I have tried so far. unless I use the gpi-ish kernel. If I reboot the problems goes away for a while. I do not know if the issue occurs on the stock rom because the first thing i did was flash. I rooted and flash recovery on 4.2.2.

Just want to know if people have experienced weird problems with their touch screen on their Gnexus, i've had this phone for less than 1 week, and the problem arised twice.
the screen just dont reach to your finger touch, normally you swipe left or right in the home screen, and the pages just moves to the next screen centered, but the screen just stops when ever you let go, and on home screen when you push and hold an icon or widget the bin pops up at top to discard the item, on my phone, just a slight touch and no need to touch and hold will do the same thing. it's just like the screen has gone malfunction randomly with the screen registering a touch. I also think this happed when it is connected to a non samsung charger, but not too sure if i had the charger connected.
to rectify the problem, you need to power down the phone and on.
not too sure if this is a bug, or problem with the display, it's very hard to discribe it, but it's not normal.
thanks
I was typing out a text today (normal mode, not landscape) and out of nowhere the screen faded out and went to the lock screen. What was even more peculiar was that I had no option to unlock the phone; when I tried to swipe my finger where the unlock button should be, the screen dimmed and the letters for the time turned blue while the other stuff (signal, battery, etc) disappeared from the screen.
When I hit the home button I was able to get back into the phone, however it faded back to whatever mock lock screen was there before. The second time I hit the home button it let me get back to the text and finish it.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and have flashed several different radios (currently on ugkl1, stock was xxkk6).

I have not had that happen...I am unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom and kernel. The only thing i did not switch is the radio...So may be what is causing it?
I reset the radio to XXKK6 just for safe measure.
Anyone else seen this issue?
I had weird problems with typing messages in Handcent with weird lag and even force closes on 4.0.2. Have not had these problems on 4.0.4.
So, as it turns out, this problem was cause by my own stupidity...
What was happening as that, in a very small amount of time, my thumb hit the task manager button, and the Clock app was the one that was right under my thumb, which was subsequently selected. For some reason, if you start Clock and try to swipe your finger, the screen dims.
So, total false alarm. Move along, nothing to see here.
So... I replaced my perfectly working glass screen the other day, just to change the color
All went well it seemed.
But now, the touch stops responding completely at random intervals. Sometimes after a minute, sometimes after an hour.
All i have to do to get the touch back is lock and unlock.
I updated my rom, no go. I cleared cache and dalvik, no go.
Any ideas? :silly: thanks
I went to developer tools and enabled the option that lets me see the touches...
it seems when my phone stops doing the touches, its because there are like 8 different locations on the screen that are being "touched".
I messed something up obviously... but it seems to go away when the touches are reinitialized...
Is there an app out there that will automatically refresh the touches automatically? That would fix my issues...
I just now found out how to replicate the issue on command!
If i press down hard on the screen, it stops responding to my touch commands.
at least now i know how NOT to get stuck... just have to hold it gently
I think the reason was because i didn't put enough glue on the glass screen, thus its too close to the digitizer... and when i touch too hard the glass touches the digitizer and causes it to go all outta whack. mebbe...
i'ma put more glue on it and find out though.
thanks for all of your help so far though, you guys have been a great audience.
I did the exact same thing and have the same results. If I don't press too hard it works. Any solution would be nice
Hey guys, so I flashed TWRP onto my device but it keeps freezing when I try to reboot or when I press the power button it brings up the swipe to unlock but then when I slide to unlock it doesnt do anything. I have to hard reset it each time. Anybody have any ideas?
It works, you have to touch the screen with 2 fingers though. Like, 1st hold your finger on what you actually want to tap on, then while the holding the 1st finger down, tap the screen elsewhere with a different finger. when you have to swipe, swipe the bar to far right, hold it at the end, then tap a 2nd finger in the middle of the swipe bar. can't really explain perfectly without hands on lol. I prefer TWRP, so i just played around with it and figured it out. stupid bugs. Also, I don't know if i need specific drivers, but i can't mount my sd card to my PC in TWRP. If anyone can answer that.

Oh wow you're a genius!!! Totally works now!! Thanks!!!
I'm new at this phone and added a couple fingerprints my 1st finger in right hand and 2 nd finger on left hand when I hold it. Is it really a clicking first then it vibrates opens up phone? Is there an easier way for the sensor?
Are you asking if there's a way to unlock the phone just by touching the fingerprint sensor? If so, on the stock ROM, there is not. I just press the button and keep my finger on it until it unlocks. Only takes a second.
I haven't tried any custom ROMs (or even rooted for that matter, for Marshmallow and onward, I haven't felt the need to), but one of those might have that ability. I can't make any promises, though.
