Hi everyone
I have been using sprint g2 for a little over a month with no trouble until one day when it started acting up. So whenever my screen wakes up, be it after the knock code or after receiving a call, it shows a phantom touch right in the middle of the screen. My screen wouldnt recognise any touch till that phantom touch is gone. In order to get that gone, ive to generate interference by multitapping randomly for sometime which seems to solve the problem. Interestingly my screen works just fine after the phantom touch is gone even for prologed usage..but once the screen turns off (by doubble tapping for instance) n i wake it up later, the problem reappears..ive tried factory reset n custom roms to no avail. Oh n one more thing, when i restart my phone n the first time it shows the unlock screen, there's no phantom touch but as soon as the next tap on pr a call ends,the prob reappears.
Guys ive been reading all threads n couldnt find a Similar issue solved...ur help would save me from hating this otherwise awesome phone...thanks indeed.

my tp2 touch screen is not responding suddenly!!! the problem started only after i answered some call through the screen slider, however, the touch screen is not responding to my fingers ever since !!!!
now i'm operating the phone only through the buttons !! but as if it is not touch screen!!
anyone have a clue about what the problem can be?? please help me. my device runs wm 6.5 and this is the first time to have this problem, i did soft reset many times but no imrovment!!
I had SOD this early morning and it was my first, do you guys think there is a relation between these events???
I have the same problem.
Just happened this morning.
I was able to use my mobiler to access the screen.
Tried several hard resets. No luck.
Tried re-installing energy Rom (4.1)
Then tried the new Energy Rom (4.11) still no luck.
But then I got the big idea to go back to the stock ROM. Now I cannot use the on screen prompts to access "my mobiler"
Anybody have any suggestions or is it back to AT&T for a new phone?
so whe you back to the stock rom, did u get ur screen working again??
No. no workey
Now that stock rom is on. I keep going back to the "Sim Card Changed" screen. I can not tap "cancel" or "Next". I can use the hard buttons so I am able to get to the phone and then use keyboard to dial.
Still no touch screen. And no work around with keyboard to get to screen. need a "Tab" button. then might be okay.
this sucks.
Just a quick bump before I go to AT&t in the morning.
Try running task 29 and then flash back to a stock.
And have you tried taking your sim card out of you're phone? Maybe that will avoid the message.

Does your screen look as if an oily residue is under the touch screen part?
My screen stopped responding a few weeks after the appearance of the 'oil' and Vodafone swapped it with no problems. It seems like a fairly common problem
yes, I've got that oily spot and somehow i managed to relief the problem only for minutes when i raised the digitizer carefuly which got me the screen working for few minutes untill it went unresponsive again after while. I'm looking forward to do alcohol swab to this oily spot and will see weather this will solve the problem..
anyone had problem with the screen not responding after waking up?
There's no way to turn off the phone / make it respond unless to unplug the battery and plug it in again. Had this problem on the first GN and my second replacement GN.
Yep, happened to me the other day as well. There was a crash right before which made the phone reboot. Once it came back, the hardware buttons responded fine but the touchscreen was dead until a battery pull.
Hasn't happened since though.
Had this at lunch today also had it a few days ago.
When returning from sleep the touch input seems to be completely unresponsive.
I left mine for a while to see if it recovered, it did, it came up with the crash report for "System Process" The screen was then responding fine.
Weird. This is indeed different to the sleep of death, because the screen comes on.
Although maybe it's related in some way?
This just happened to me, and so I googled to find an answer. It thankfully led me here. It's like you guys described: I just tried unlocking my phone, but the screen was completely unresponsive. Not a single touch would register, even when trying to touch the Power Off option.
I read robaldred's comment, so I decided to try the waiting game. Thankfully, after a few minutes the screen just came on and the device was ready to use. I don't believe I saw a crash report though.
I hope this won't become a serious issue. I'd hate to be stranded at a point when I need to use my phone.
I had this problem too. have you guys used custom notification sounds?

I had this exact problem and I found it was due to Juice Defender (I have the Ultimate version as well). It kept happening after I installed and but since removing it over a week ago no problems.
Just had it happen here, had to pull batt. Using BatteryXL but will keep it on and see if it happens again.
Using the stock ROM for the Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.04 from Google, I'm finding this bug (which has been elsewhere reported, but not acted upon by Google) where the touch screen is unresponsive. You press the 'power' button, the 'slide to unlock' screen appears, but the touch screen doesn't respond to anything.
If I get a call while the phone is sleep, the same thing occurs - can't answer the phone.
I usually have to put the phone to sleep/wake it up 5, 6, or more times before the touch screen again becomes enabled in these situations.
Does anyone know why this happens? There has been much conjecture about this, but I have yet to see anyone say for sure why this would be happening. A disabled touchscreen at such a crucial point in a GUI is pretty horrific.

was gonna make a new thread on this but since i found one with the exact same thing happened figured why waste space, but anyway this just happned to me running stock 4.0.4 cdma unrooted. was just charging my phone unlocked it to check twitter and the lock screen was completely unresponsive for whatever reason. I continued to turn the screen off and on several times and then just decided to pull my battery and it worked fine.
This is the first time its happened to me and its kinda troubling as I dont want this to be a recurring thing and was wondering if this continues to happen or its just some single random occurence?
Hi i have this supper anoying problem after 5.0.2 update! So basicaly What it does is when ever i will pick up the phone it would turn off like the screen would dim (not rebbot or shut down) and after a little tapping on a screen it would turn on again and sometimes when it does that it would glitch a little. While typing this it happened twice its sooooo anoying idk what to do now if i wont find any solutions i will just buy samsung galaxy or something like that. Also my carrier is Virgin Mobile thanks
Same problem, same phone.
Definitely annoying! Seems random but especially while rotating for me. I have not been able to dig up any solutions thus far.
Check out your proximity sensor settings in the HTC testing app, or try Gravity screen. Mine did the same thing a couple times, also clean off your screen at the very top left, if you look real good you can see the sensor just under the front camera hole in the glass, also sometimes a screen saver will mess with this sensor. One more thing is the stock lock screen can cause an issue similar to what you are talking about, hope one of these help yo out, cane0716

hi
thanks for information i already gave that phone to my friend and i think he fixed it by actually having different lock screen i currently have samsung galaxy s5 its wayyyy better lol
Phone turns off during use and will not complete boot unless plugged to charger even when the battery is almost full.
This error started last night after I did factory reset because of observed phone lag. I did mistakenly "wiped internal storage" but got the alert of "no OS during reboot", so I restored from my backup from SD.
the phone started properly but went off during initial setup and will go back off each time I tried turning it back on. I thought it was battery so I plugged it to power.
it did boot but will go back off once I have few touches on the screen.
I had to leave it plugged to setup my accounts else it will go off.
I'm using its Wi-Fi to send this message via my PC because any 2 - 3 touches will switch the phone off.
once it does that, it won’t even boot to bootloader before it goes off again unless plugged to power.
what I do to solve this please??
Hi there, first of all I've seen some other threads which kind of have the same problem but not quite. So here is my problem my touch screen isn't responding most of the time, it started happening like a week ago when it froze while trying to send a picture in messenger, after 1-2 reboots it started working again but after that the same thing happened while I was typing in messenger, so I thought it might be software problem and made hard reset and installed new stock android(that didn't help). The last couple of days most of the time it's not working and I'm using it with a mouse, but there are periods when it works for some time. I've entered the hidden menu(without updating the touch firmware because I saw that it might kill it for good) to try and test it and had 2 different results
- The touch screen firmware version on my phone is -1
- And the one from the photos that I've attached(obviously during this one it actually worked for a couple of minutes)
Something else I've noticed while the touch isn't working when I turn off the screen from the power button first it dims the light for 2 seconds before really turning off.
Other things that I've tried are changing kernel, opening the back of the phone and reconnecting the screen to the motherboard(which helped the first time and it worked for 1 day or so but doesn't help since then) .
There is one more strange thing for some time now may be 3-4 months the phone has problems connecting to WiFi)
And one last thing after the screen problem the phone started booting quite slow some times and showing "Process System Not Responding'"
The phone is running on Stock V30b MM and hasn't been dropped for a long time
The problem is that I don't know is it software problem, screen problem or motherboard so any Ideas will be appreciated.
