Galaxy Nexus with random inputs.

Hello, I have been experiencing an intermittent issue, that is become very frustrating when trying to do anything with the phone; text messaging is unusable at this time.
This issue has happened on the original version of android, and current version which is the KANG Milestone 2. I also have Franco Kernel. This is a GSM model running on USA AT&T. It has happened everywhere. At home, work, etc. It doesn't matter if I am close to another electronic device, if I am holding the phone, etc. Sometimes I can go days without having this issue, but it seems like lately it has increased.
I uploaded a youtube video, but cannot post the link, if someone can post it for me. here is the information after the website address watch?v=HbCs9_JUQFE
Basically it will keep inputting buttons or key presses, or switch my homescreen, etc. If it were a hardware issue wouldn't it happen all the time?
Anyone with advice or have had that issue? If you need anymore information I can try to get it to you if the phone will work with me.
Thanks!

I may be wrong, but it looks like there's something wrong with the digitizer. A wire maybe coming loose or you could have more problems than that. I'd go get it swapped out if I were you. Could be a simple fix, could not. Why risk opening your phone when its still in warranty?

i got an issue with random inputs on my galaxy nexus too.
i activated the setting to show touch-inputs in developer-options and recorded a small video
as you can see i happens along the right side of the screen and you pretty much can´t do anything while this is happening (when you´re in an app, the screen will just scroll around like crazy and do random stuff.
edit: new users can´t post working links...

Looks like a hardware defect, that one you'll want to send back.

[Q] Erratic Multi Touch / Continuous Force Closes?

First off, I purchased my Nexus 7 on the 26th from my local Gamestop. 32GB WiFi. Since then, I've had a number of issues with the device, and I just want to know what you guys think on what I should do.
First, I'm one of the users affected by the erratic multi-touch issues on the touch screen, (meaning that the screen will hit stuff by itself without my input). It's only happened to me once, so shrugged it off because i figured its more of a bug, if anything. As I've looked on this forum and found that multiple users are actually affected by this issue, so part of me thinks it may be a hardware issue, but on the other hand, it could be a software thing.
My second issue happened just a couple hours ago. I clicked on the screen to see that my wallpaper was reverted back to stock and was then bombarded with continuous force close after force close (we are talking every 2 seconds on the dot, literally). I clicked The Play Store and it logged me out as well. So I signed in and then cleared data and force closed all of the Google Services and framework and stuff. The force closes seemed to stop, and everything seems to be okay as of right now.
I'm thinking of returning it and getting a replacement, but something tells me that this may be software issue instead of a hardware issue, I'm not really sure to be completely honest.
So I ask you guys if you've ever experienced any of the problems mentioned above or something similar. I'd like to wait it out, but as said before, a return may be the best thing to do. Any opinions are welcome.

Inconsistent Playing of Touch Sounds

So I am hoping someone with some real hardware/software knowledge can provide some input...
I recently received my warranty replacement unit because of unresponsive touch and phantom touches. My new unit seems to work perfectly, except now every 10 to 20 touches, the touch will register, but the touch sound "click" doesn't play (if I put my ear close to the speaker, I can hear the speaker activating though). Repeated touches (like repeatedly pressing back) won't reproduce the problem, but more random timing and touches (like in regular use or typing) will. I'm wondering if anyone thinks this is a hardware issue, or some component of the stock software that wouldn't have been overwritten between the update to JSS15Q, and then to JSS15R (it happens in all three versions).
Think I should go for another replacement? Or do you think I should root and unlock, and see if a full installation of a ROM fixes it. It's definitely a sign that something is wrong and it's annoying, I just can't figure out if it's software or hardware related. I'm definitely not going to just ignore it.
(SIDE STORY: When I called nexus help for my first unit, the guy was so helpful and took my word that I had already tried factory resets, and set me up for an RMA. My call on this unit, the woman told me to reboot and toggle touch sounds, and kind of rudely insisted that I was on 4.3 and that Build Version (e.g. JSS15R) had nothing to do with software!! :what: She then told me she'd send me an email with more troubleshooting steps, which never came. I had figured I'd wait for the email, so that I had her name for my next call. Totally unacceptable.)

You come off as just looking for a reason to complain at this point, there doesn't seem to be any real problem with your device other than you being overly picky

You're completely right. I was so delighted when I managed to find something wrong with my new tablet...
Seriously? You come off as just a worthless ass of a poster at this point. The problem is there, and can be consistently reproduced. I press home and it clicks, and five seconds later I press home and it doesn't click. Your opinion on whether this is a "real problem" or me being overly "picky" is completely irrelevant. It is most certainly real and not normal, and indicates either some software or driver bug on my device, or a strange hardware malfunction. My previous unit (which had very real problems) did not have this problem.
I hope I speak for others here, when I tell you to **** off unless you have something worthwhile to contribute. Just because you don't think something is important, annoying, significant, etc. doesn't make it any less so for someone else.

Do you have this issue with SwiftKey?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yeah. It's actually everywhere throughout the OS. System settings, stock launcher, Nova launcher, Swiftkey, AOSP keyboard, etc.

I have the opposite problem as you. When muted, every 20 or 30 taps I will get a 'pop' from the speakers, similar to the sound of plugging a guitar into an amp when it's on. Pretty bloody annoying, but I don't want to risk returning it for receiving a unit with worse problems.

Exactly my thoughts on going through another RMA. But I do feel that it's reasonable to expect a properly functioning tablet on our parts. What you're experiencing is strange. I can tell you that on my Optimus G, when muted, I can hear a faint speaker "activation". Sounds like maybe yours is a hardware issue. Are you stock, or have you tried flashing other ROMs?

Well, I installed CM10.2 last night, and the problem went away. Maybe you might want to try CM, or even just unlocking and reflashing stock JSS15R. You might get lucky with your popping noises.

FYI: I've seen this on multiple tablets (TF101, GTab, Nooks, 2012N7, 2013N7) with different customed ROMs.
So, I wouldn't blame it specially on the Tab. In fact, I see this issue less often on the 2013N7. It usually happens
after I just freshly loaded a new ROM.

So a couple of nights ago, I decided to try disabling touch sounds in settings. Since doing that I haven't heard a single pop from the speakers. Looks like it was either the touch sounds 'leaking' or the speakers popping from being activated, which they do even when muted (the mute being software)
I'm quite happy with this fix, since the tablet is muted 99.5% of the time, and I don't care for the touch sounds anyway.

Hi Folk's,
Sorry to drag up an old post, but I've noticed my N7 shows this behaviour on KitKat as well.
It misses the touch sound if you pause for about 5 secs during input. Does it every time and it's very annoying. I've tried a couple of different KK roms and it does the same on all of them.
Just tried going back to CM10.2 (JB 4.3) and it works fine!
Does anyone know the cure for this, apart from going back to JB, please? Would really like to be running KK, but this bug is bugging me!
Thanks for any info.
Cheers

@Petermira @Xi2or @spackmanbr
I have this same behavior on a stock 4.4.2 S3.
After 5 seconds, if I click anything UI (keyboard, Soft buttons, shortcuts, toggles) there is no sound. If I quickly click again and keep clicking, the sounds work as normal. It's definitely ROM related but is there a fix???
UPDATE: Issue does not happen with headphones plugged in. STRANGE!!!
UPDATE: Issue does not happen if I keep a song playing in Power Amp or similar.
Affected UI items include:
- keyboard
- shortcuts
- toggles
- capacitive buttons
- dialer pad
- etc.

No response bugs

Some background info.
I bought my pixel XL from the Google store and I believe it came with the 63L build out of the box. I have since made it a point to completely wipe and fastboot flash the latest image Everytime an update is release, right now I am on the 26U build. The only thing I have done to my phone (and these bugs happen before and after) is bootloader unlock and root.
The bugs.
Every once in a while, my volume controls will quit working. I notice it happen more if I cast to my Chromecast and play a song or video (seperate) on my device. I'll hit the volume button and literally nothing will happen. To fix this I usually have to turn the display off, wait a few seconds, wake it back up, then the controls work fine again. I do not believe it is a hardware issue because i can fix it Everytime it happens.
The second bug, probably the most annoying, is that my nav bar will become completely unresponsive occasionally while in landscape orientation. Say I'm watching a video on YouTube in full screen, if I swipe to pull out my nav bar and hit the home/recent/back button, nothing will happen. I will see the animation however no vibration (feedback) or a action occurs.
This happens in games, YouTube, web browsers, doesn't matter as long as my phone is in landscape mode. Also note that when this happens, my device refuses to rotate back to portrait. This leaves my only solution (same as the volume bug) to turn off the display, wait a few seconds, and then I back on. Sometimes, however, this don't even work, and I'll have to jump straight to settings from my lockscreen to force the phone to portrait where the functionality of the nav bar returns.
I've contacted google, they run me through the typical steps "delete cache, have you tried a reset, update to the latest software", but nothing fixes it. They have told me repetitively it's not a common problem and it's not a problem that's worth rma'ing over.
I've been discovering my pixel has many small issues that no one else has. Such as the horrible transfer speed explain in my earlier thread, these bugs above, refusing to charge when the device is off, etc.
Has anyone had similar problems?

@noidea24,
I've had none of those issues. In fact, my Pixel XL has been flawless.

Not good. I guess I'm going to try and force a RMA.

Sorry to nit, but when I read the statement above I can't help but wonder if you actually did a factory reset. Reason I say that is you stated "have you tried a reset" and you didn't explicitly state that you did.
I kind of doubt the responsiveness stuff you're referring to is hardware related, it's probably software.
Whether or not a rogue app is affecting your device or a root app is impossible to determine without doing a factory reset and carefully adding one app/change at a time until the problem comes back. It's a PITA but that's what I'd do first to rule out hardware, and I'd simply run email and messaging apps unrooted for at least 24 hours to rule out hardware issues before I start loading up my favorite apps.

A factory reset is far from a pain in the ass, and yes, i have done it many times. the only things that makes it suck is when i have to transfer files back to my device because (as mentioned) i have terrible transfer speed from pc to device.
i have literally done everything i can to make this devices worth the price, and things are only getting worse. Since the post (later that night) i factory flashed once again, and re locked the bootloader. No root, No extra apps, hell, the only apps i had on my phone to begin with were facebook messenger, and that pixel car racer, i dont use anything else. ive had an even worse bug come in where my phone completely freezes when opening google camera and swiping to the video section. ill have to hold power until it force resets.
ive been with xda since my Motorola droid, Ive built roms for the community for my lg g2 and my nexus 6. hell, i even built kernels for my 5x (not public), so im a little past your average user complaining about some things that dont work due to user error. these are legitimate device flaws and malfunctions, and i was simply asking if anyone else has experienced them. and since it seems no one has, i have deemed my device faulty. now i have to come up with $600 for a service hold to get it replaced.
My experience with Googles first official flag ship has been pathetic, and im hoping that this replacement device i get (eventually) will persuade me not to go back to my 6p.

Well if that's the case then yeah I hope a replacement device will solve your issues. Sounds like it will.
Didn't mean to rile you up, just looking for clarity.
Good luck!

Low FPS on games after One UI 2.1 update

I'm playing Call of Duty Mobile and I've been experiencing frequent FPS drops from time to time while playing BR mode after the recent One UI 2.1 update which is quite annoying. Anyone else experiencing this? I was able to do a factory reset, yet the problem still persists. Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/120-hz-refresh-rates-galaxy-s10-note-10-t4077139

Ui 2.1 may well, be the worst update experience ever!
Yep, I am experiencing very poor gaming on my 10 + unlocked, snapdragon variant. I've owned every note released. This one was by a lot my favorite one, after the note 7 debacle. That phone was a beautiful phone, before its time (apparently).
Ever since ui 2.1 I can hardly stand to play my pubg. I play every day, have since season 2. A couple hours every night. There is a very obvious frame rate decline, and major lag. I've tried all the typical dev options tweaks but it doesn't work. Nothing does. I've cleared cache partition, repaird the game, uninstall/ reinstall and nothing. I'm irritated to say the least.
I also HATE the keyboard. I want my stuff back! Setting up a phone to be the way you want it takes a long time. Erasing my predictive text learned words, and shifting my keyboard? Come on! Not cool. My hands muscle memory is having a hard time adjusting, becoming very slow to type. I text A LOT for work, and now I know it seems I can't spell for crap! Lol. Anyway I hope we can get this garbage fixed soon! Good luck!

Hey guys, I'm just curious if anyone has had any luck finding a fix of some sorts. Pubg Mobile is not running like it was before this stupid update. It's just so disappointing to pay over a grand for a phone so you can play a game on it and have Samsung screw it up with an update.
I tried everything you did as well, and no improvement. Is there any chance of being able to roll this back?

I think that the last firm with ui 2.0 had a bootloader 2, the firm with ui 2.1 has a bootloader 3, so, no roll back

One ui 2.1 is still TRASH!
No fix insight i guess. I've tried everything I know how to. I've tried all suggestions, and anything logical, but nothing makes it better. My pubg time at night is going on pause until this gets resolved, I can't suffer ranking down anymore! :crying:

for most stuff it isn't terrible on my unlocked UK Note 10+ 5G, but I use lawnchair and using the lawnfeed google feed or the google thing on the home home screen the frame rate can drop that low it practically locks the phone up leading to me having to force close all apps and wait a few seconds for the phone to get back to the home screen and let me use it.
in most other apps it's a couple of seconds delay on load at worst, but the google apps through lawnchair seem to lock the phone up.
so for me One UI 2.1 added nothing apart from inconvenience when I try to check the google feed. hope they fix it soon. hell I would be happy if they just reverted to the base Android UI.

I feel your pain...I've literally had to create a 2nd account to play on until this gets fixed so I don't destroy my stats...and it sucks.
I remember standing at the att store debating the Pixel 4 xl and this...needless to say, I'm not thrilled with my choice.
