Received my phone yesterday, and when I was browsing it , the screen went crazy, and unresponsive. did a factory reset and the problem still persisted. Opened a return request at amazon so they can send me a new one. Don't know if anyone had the same issue or it was just me. Here is a video
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12983778/VID_20150527_213832648.mp4
Please check if TalkBack is enabled. If this setting is enabled, the touch screen may behave differently and appear to be defective. Instead of one tap to open an item, you will need to tap once until it highlights with a green box around the selection, then double tap to open. Also when swiping it may require using two fingers instead of one. You may also be hearing voice prompts to every action made.
To disable go to Apps/Settings/Accessibility/Talkback - turn off.

Same problem
Hi,
I had the same issue! I getback the phone in guarantee to Taiwán. The seller says that the phone was repairde, the display was changed.... finally 2 weeks ago I reicived the Zenphone 2 (1.5moths since the deal). Now today the phone have the same issue, I try to clean the dipslay phone and suddenly the touch screen have the same issue, crazy and unresponsive screen!! I very frustaded about the ASUS Brand! tell me what's happened with your phone?
thanks

Try to delete user data,then factory reset and then wipe cache.If after this you're still in trouble simply use warranty:hardware problem,asus fault.
You must use 2 fingers when you type to get through the setup. I know its a pain but when you are able to get in, turn "TalkBack" off.
I bought a zenfone 2 64gb on amazon and I had the same random issues: unresponsive touch screen, unsensitive, ghost touches.
I guessed that it could be the screen protector but it was still happening after remove it.
So, I asked to amazon a replacement.
After a perfect week, I am starting to have the issues, again!
I sold my oneples one to avoid touch screen issues. I am very upset!
I'm having the same issue as you guys. I also noticed that cleaning the screen with a rag (especially the one for glasses) makes the touch screen go crazy. At first i tried to downgrade the firmware, unluckily i had the issue again. Then i upgraded the firmware from the phone and now it's all going apparently well. I'll update for any news.
Same here, wrote to customer care yesterday evening.

Please let us know if you have any answer, it is getting very annoying, thanks.
To anyone who have this issue: Try to test touch screen by SMMI's test option. Open calculator, type ",12345+" (with the comma), then "=" (equals). SMMI menu will show up. Now "single test", then "touch test".
In my case this process gives a straight line of unwanted touch inputs in the upper region of the screen ( sometimes multiple dots in a row forming a complete straight line). Do you guys have the same result?

With the others, I have this one, also. It happens at every restart and the only workaround is turn off/on the display.

It's a software related problem.. Because we're a lot of ppl suffering this problem. But, don't know why, ASUS is ignoring us.
I have sent my phone for repair. They say that they will replace the whole display.
Hi guys. I have almost identical issue and this seems like a hardware fault. I sold the Zenfone 2 to a friend and after 2 months she complains about the unresponsive touchscreen only at the top of the display..... I have the phone with me now, trying to fix it.. Did a factory reset, firmware upgrade, no results. Definitely a hardware issue and it is seems that lots of people are affected. So dissapointed by Asus......
If it's a hardware issue why is it so many people experiencing this now together all in the same time? Not earlier not later? My guess will be software problem. But I'm not sure
Any of you guys have a microsd card installed?

no still slow as... hell and i have the usb debugging on like i read else where

ps i do have a htc desire eye on the three network in the uk
Hi there ,
As being another android user , i would suggest you to install an application such as Clean Master , and see what is consuming your system resources , and most probably another application is causing that lag on the phone .
Sometimes and app is keeps restarting again and again which may cause that issue .
Hope that helps

The same problem
How did you solve?
Please tell me
Hello all
I also have this problem: HTC Desire on Three UK. One minute works fine, next it's practically unusable, everything has a slow response, typing takes 3-4 seconds for each letter to show up.
I've tried rooting, reflashing various roms, factory reset, etc. the works. The only thing I couldn't reset was the firmware. Whenever I tried to do this I got incorrect CID / custom ID fail. I've tried many different methods of making a gold card but none seem to work. I haven't tried with a Kingston 2GB uSD yet so that's the last chance saloon I think...
Just to save anyone the hassle of spending days trying various things, if you have HTC Desire Eye on Three UK, don't bother rooting the phone or reflashing to try and fix this unless you can find a way to get past the CID check. I've wasted days trying to fix this!
If anyone else has any ideas or if someone has resolved this issue I would very much appreciated hearing from you. Only had the phone 9 months and really don't want to have to buy another halfway through a contract! There must be a way to fix this...
EDIT: It is also slow and laggy / delayed response in TWRP recovery, so unlikely due to any unusual app behaviour.
Cheers,
Aaron
I have the same problem too, the phone has become unusable. Did anyone find a solution to this problem??? Please help just bought this phone and really getting pissed off with this problem

hi, i have the same issue since december 15th, does anybody found any solution? could it be a hardware issue? my phone ran pretty good until now, i have 10 months with my Desire Eye
i have 4.4.4, tried 4 hard resets, formatted SD, no SD, without Sim, no luck!
Ok i think its a gpu problem... My desire eye is also lagging so much.. When i looked at cpu z (its an app) my gpu load is 0. Its not usually supposed to be that way,right?
Here's the issue
Mine started doing this a few days ago. Tried doing everything I could to fix it. I didn't try to root it, flash a custom ROM, or Factory Data reset it (AT&T did it anyways made me lose a lot of files). The issue I assumed seemed to be the GPU. The load it at 0 making CPU 1, 2, and 3 work harder not noticeably, but enough to where the GPU was basically a paperweight inside of the phone. The best thing to do if it is still under manufacturers warranty is send it in. My issue is AT&T are sending me a replacement and I'm hoping it is refurbished with no noticeable damage physically. Because if it refurbished they will fix the errors with the phone. If it is new they should have produced something differently by then so it doesn't have the same issue. HTC has always been my favorite brand apart from LG and the Nexus line. Other than that there is no other viable solution to this issue.
P.S. I hope this helped a lot of people out.
I have the same problem, my htc Is so lagging and I flash it root too. Anyone has the solution?
I have the same problem disarmament tel. and moving one of the flex of the screen the phone worked OK but returned to be slow and can not run at the speed it should.
I think it is hardware problem
sorry for my English
same
same thing happened to me i am on marshmallow
and i was looking for a stock rom to try flashing it maybe it would work . but cant find any for my htc

Same problem here, did you guys have any work done to your phone before this happens? Factory reset did nothing, installed a system monitoring app too check CPU and memory usage-both normal. Audio is fine but video is super laggy just like the whole phone. Gonna disassemble it and check cables and connectors for the LCD but I suspect it is not possible to fix this problem, maybe a new LCD would work but I doubt it.
Same problem. i flashed every room but still laggy
If you`re rooted then download an app called Swapper from play store and set Swappiness to 0 and Boom your phone will be back to normal!

Ok so I am having a strange touch screen issues with both mine and my wife's tab S 10.1. It started on mine several weeks ago. When using the device, the touch screen will all of a sudden stop responding. If I press the home button, the device goes to the home screen, it just does not respond to any touch. If I press the power button to put the device to sleep and push it again to turn it back on the screen is working again but it will freeze up again, sometimes in less than a minute. When it first happened I tried to do a factory reset to see if that would help and the problem actually occurred during the initial device setup then so I know it's not related to an App that I have installed. I have sent mine to Samsung now three times trying to get them to fix it. They have replaced the screen once and said that there is nothing wrong the second time (still waiting on the determination of the third time). I have tried to research the issue but have not seen anyone experiencing the same thing. I do not have the rebooting issues that others have mentioned and turning the screen off and then back on does make it work, at least temporarily. I only remember noticing it since upgrading to Android 5 so I am going to try getting the device downgraded to Android 4.4.4 to see if that helps. Wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas. Samsung has basically told me if their techs say there isn't a problem they won't do anything for me.
A few people have mentioned touchscreen problems after upgrading to v5.0.2 mostly 8.4" but some 10.5" have you had any horizontal/vertical lines on the screen.

I have never noticed any lines. I have noticed after the first time at the repair center that the touch screen also seemed to be acting erratically, jumping around when trying to scroll or pan instead of having smooth motion. If I am able to get the device downgraded to KitKat and that improves things, I will just stay there until they figure out what is wrong with Lollipop.
I have stayed on kitkat because of the problems with lollipop, it`s just not worth it to me, but the majority of people don't seem to have any problems with it, I cannot see how upgrading to lollipop affects some touchscreens and not them all, but some people have reported the problem after upgrading i just don't know what to say.
It is normal for the touchscreen to behave erratic if you use it while your tablets is being charged, it is mentioned in the user manual.
I would say you have a faulty touchscreen, do you use a screen protector, have you tried the setting that increases the sensitivity of the touchscreen.
John.
I did not know about the charging item so that might explain the erratic behavior. I thought it might explain the screen locking up too but I know that has happened at times when I am not charging the device. I will be interested to see what happens this time when it comes back the third time from Samsung and whether downgrading my wife's device helps the issue on hers or whether we will need to fight with Samsung about hers as well.
For a couple months, I've had exactly the same problem on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T807V). It comes and goes in severity; some days, I lose all touch input every 5 minutes, it seems, while other days, I can go hours without trouble. Using the device without a case seems to help, as does restarting it, at least temporarily.
I have not sent my device to Samsung, nor have I performed a factory reset. But based on your experience, I'm not sure if either option is worth it.
Hi.
I would suggest removing any screen protector and cleaning the screen looking for any damage, download a touchscreen tester app from google play and testing your screen.
After searching around i found an touchscreen recalibration app for android, but i am very wary of it being fake or causing more damage or that it is for a specific brand of phone/tablet.
EDIT: I used an hex editor, and found this text within the apk file, see photo below.
John.
Well Samsung is finally sending the device back to me. This time they said the found the problem and replaced the main board and updated the software. So we will see what happens when it gets back to me tomorrow.
For anyone who is having this problem like I did. My wife has not had problems since she stopped using the device while it was charging. I have not had problems with mine since it got back related to this but whether that was Samsung fixing the issue or the fact that I also am not using it on my charger, I do not know. So if anyone else if having the problem, try the charger thing; otherwise, you may be looking at some kind of hardware issue that Samsung will have to resolve for you.
Most devices behave erratically while being charged. My HTC does it so does my tab.
Samsung even mention it.
Hi, i am having EXACTLY the same issue. The tab toucj freezes and normalizes if i lock it and unlock it with home button. I think its a software issue.

Any luck finding a cure ? I have noticed that the ram usage gets crazy. Any given time 1.8 gb is utilized out of he 2.77 gb available. I have uninstalled quite a few apps and shut down background processes but still the system is eating too much ram. Can any one help me on how to monitor aap ram usage ?

Hi.
I was reading the HTC forum as i have qone of their phones, and i read that some people were using an Samsung touchscreen app to boost the touchscreen as they were having problems, the app is called "SGS Touchscreen Booster" link below, The Tab S1 has it`s own touch screen booster in the settings, maybe try that first.

That's how android works. Its pointless trying to reduce ram usage if there is still ram to spare.
Android utilises ram not wastes it.

I had multiple problems with 5.0.2, ram hogging, touchscreen problems, my solution was to root and install a custom rom 4.4.4 the tablet is so much more responsive after reverting back to kitkat. I know it's not a solution for everyone but it fixed mine (SM-T800). Just throwing it out as an option.
Used kies today to upgrade to the latest firmware but still the problem continues. I have the Samsung sm t807v Verizon locked. Is there a way I can downgrade it to kit kat? Xda experts are saying it's bootloader is locked

This is a strange one I used to have the opposite. 4.4.4 every now and then touch screen stopped responding. Pressing power resolved it.
When I upgraded to LL the problem went away.
However I mostly use custom builds. At the moment the best for me is PhoeniX ROM.
Absolutely bug free so far.
Can't say I had any issues with Ironrom either.

I'm running BlissStalk (discontinued) but I haven't had any issues with it. I was running the CM11 unofficial also without issues. But the stock 5.0.2 it had on it when I purchased it (used) had issues. All my devices eventually end up with a custom rom eventually!

I flashed stock kitkat firmware via Odin... But it is a different tablet than yours (SM-T800). I found the following thread when I was trying to do it. Just make sure you flash the firmware for your specific model.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/sm-t800-best-to-downgrade-5-0-2-to-t3069929
Bootloader unlocking
So basically searching around the internet to find a kitkat firmware for this. I think it can be downgraded but I need the stock firmware for the sm-t807v.
XDA forums have support for the other variants but for the one I have which is Verizons sm-t807v there are no STOCK firmwares anywhere.
Ashyx and steve if you know any resource, please help me out. I need to get this fixed. I don't have access to any verizon stores where I could go and get this fixed or sorted. It just me and the internet.
I have an LG G3 D855. I am not rooted or anything. The closest I have to changing the stocks on this phone is using Nova Launcher. Recently my phone has been acting up. When using apps like Clash of Clans or Snapchat, it restarts. After it restarts, i notice the battery percentage drops. This happens several times a day. What do you think might be the problem? Do you think i need to change the battery? I tried restoring to factory settings and recalibrating the battery but that doesnt seem to work. My battery usage graph shows that it dropped in percentage like a cliff. Its not a continuous line anymore. Unfortunately i cant post a screencap of it because this is a new account. I hope someone here can help me. Thank you. And im sorry if this post is lame or in a wrong section. Im new to this types of things.

I've had my phone for over a year now. I have not changed the battery since. Do you think that might be the issue?
Hello venztrr,
Have you found a solution for your problem? Because I have got the exact same problem as yours... It reboots every time I start Snapchat (but also with other apps) and the battery drops with around 25% each time, after the reboot it also is charging itself without being plugged in or something.
Anyone got a solution for it? I have already tried a Hard Reset and factory reset. My phone isn't rooted or something...
I have the EXACT same issue.. now it's even gotten so bad that even if it's plugged in, the phone wont work..!
gonna order a new battery now, then repost once I try it out.. otherwise I'm gonna go full ninja on this phone - root it, clean it, install all the newest/best ****, reset the **** out of it, disassemble it, THE WORKS - and ofc repost again..!
I'll be back....

As promised - an update; just got the new battery, and now the phone works.. wheee..!!

I have my d850 for a long time. in the past it did this thing where it would reboot constantly until I plugged it in. A new battery solved that issue. Now, 8 months later, it happens again, only difference is that plugging it in doesnt help. Ive tried two new batteries this time, first one didnt work and i figured it was faulty so i returned it and got another, which still doesnt fix the issue. I turned on the phone without my sim and sd card which made no difference either.
I just unrooted my phone and reset to stock, which still doesnt fix the issue either. should i bother with a third new battery to test this? this phone works so smoothly, still fast, still a GREAT phone...I just cant pin point the issue thats causing the reboots as ive tried all i can think of. Id hate to have to toss it. any other suggestions?
thanks in advance!

wow thank you. i have seen a few other threads on how to disassemble the phone for screen flicker, overheating, etc but I havent came across this one. I tried applying thermal paste ( an idea i found in the thread you linked me to), it seems to restart less (without the sim card in, but wifi and location/google maps works fine). since its restarting a lot less, im thinking of opening again and actually purchasing and applying the thermal pad.
Does anyone else have suggestions? and again, thank you!

I use Non-Stock ROM for my device ever since 2 years ago (not a fan of Stock ROMs), and I have no issues aside from early throttling (can be solved with thermal pad). Maybe the issue only persist because you use Stock ROMs. Try changing into Non-Stock ROMs like AOSP or LOS with a good kernel.

Edit: If you don't want to, I also remembered that "paper" trick, don't know what thread is it, but it fixed the bootloop on some users. Maybe it's on reddit

thats the thing, ive always been rooted. always. but for testing I did unroot and revert back to stock and the problem still sticks. after realizing that I rooted again and went back to marshmallow (instead of nougat, and ive tried more than a few roms using marshmallow and a few different ones with nougat). So ive done with non stock roms for a long time, and i do prefer it.
So ive done the thermal grease without the thermal pad and it worked for a day(literally), and stopped working and constant rebooting all over again. I got a new sim card today, no luck. so i may try this thermal pad. but since just the theermal grease seems to not have fixed the issue, im not so sure the thermal pad will work either, but will give it a try.
another thought though, when flashing roms or kernels, it goes through the process like normal! but when actually booting up or when operating (like texting or surfing the web, or just sitting on the counter/in pocket), it just restarts constantly or bootloops(just shoes the LG screen and turns off, and then LG screen again, and so on)! i cant pin point the issue. im gonna look into the paper trick and possible look into purchasing a thermal pad. can anyone provide links in the one they used? i saw the link in another thread just wasnt sure how long that would take to ship to me. maybe i can see what other used?
