Surface Pro 7 - Android install - touchscreen unresponsive - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello hivemind!
I've recently installed a copy of Androidx86 on an old Microsoft Surface Pro 7... just... because really.
I've got the OS running, but it appears the touch screen doesn't respond, or if it does, it registers the touch 4-5 seconds after, and often in a random area in the bottom left of the screen.
I was wondering, has anyone had any luck getting this to work? Or even know where I can get a vanilla copy of Android 11.0 so I can install and try?
Or even managed to get any version of android installed on a more modern Surface Pro?
Many thanks ladies and gents.

[Q] Need for speed most wanted, just wont work on 8.4 pro

NFS:MW, it works on all of my many android devices but flat out refuses to run on my Tab Pro 8.4. I was hoping the OS update that came out recently would fix it, but the same deal. Anyone else having this issue?

Tab S (VZW) loses touchscreen sometimes

I have a Verizon Tab S 10.5, which has been working fine for months. Now, I'm experiencing random times where the touchscreen is unresponsive. The physical buttons still work, and the bluetooth keyboard still works too.
If I press the power button, then unlock it, the touchscreen works again.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I love the tablet otherwise.

I have the 8.4 and am experiencing the same difficulty. I usually use a stylus and suddenly, the same stylus on the same page of the same site, isn't responded to. I push harder but that never works. I find that using my finger, even for one response often brings back functionality. I've been wondering about the screen protector and whether that gets old or something. Are you using a screen protector?
No, I don't have a screen protector on it. It is in a Logitech keyboard case. Do you use a case?

tab s 10.5 touchscreen unresponsive
I am having the same problem with my tab. At seemingly random moments my touchscreen becomes unresponsive. The home button works but nothing on screen is responsive until I hit the power button, putting it to sleep briefly and then hitting it again to wake it up. At that point the touchscreen becomes responsive again.
I sure hope someone finds a solution.I love my tab but this is a bummer.
Content screen unresponsive
The content screen has suddenly become unresponsive, none of the windows will open or refresh. The other home screens are working, just not the content screen. Any suggestions please?
What firmware are you guy`s using, are you still on stock 4.4.2 or on stock 5.0.2 or something custom.
John.
Hi John
I'm using 5.0.2. I've tried restarting and a soft reset and the other screens/apps work fine, just the content screen.
Jill
I had a search for Samsung touchscreen problems, most were down to the touchscreen connector coming loose due to a drop or flexing of the case, a hard reset sometimes works, a battery pull sometimes works, somebody said he flashed to another firmware and that fixed the problem, but if you are on the stock firmware that cannot be the problem, or is it the new 5.0.2 firmware?
Have you tried a touchscreen tester app ???

John.
It's a pretty new tablet so I guess it's the new 5.0.2 firmware. It's only unresponsive on the content screen so it seems like it's to do with that software - would you think. I don't know how to get at that though. It's Samsung thing and there are no settings for it, it's a bit like blinkfeed on an HTC only it doesn't work!
But thanks for the link, I'll try a touchscreen app anyway. A screenshot is attached hopefully.
Thanks for your help.
Ok, a list of owners affected and tablet models and firmware version, can you give your details so we can get some pattern?
golden422 - 10.5" - need firmware version
mlg250 - 8.4" - need firmware version
dbarkett - 10.5" - need firmware version
jgordon5 - 8.4" T700 - v5.0.2
Galaxy tab s SM-T700 8.4 v5.0.2
Thanks.
Strangely enough i installed nova launcher, didn't like it so uninstalled it and then the content screens started working and are now responsive!
I have the same problem with my SM-T807, running 5.0.2
Any luck on finding a fix?
My touchscreen was only not working on the two home screens where you choose your own widgets. I installed a different launcher, didn't like it and so uninstalled it and then very strangely those two home screens became responsive. Weird!

MIUI 9 Homebutton/Fingerprint not working

Hello,
I'm facing a problem with my mi6.
I really want to use MIUI 9 but I have a problem with the home button.
After some time it stops working, but only when it's laying flat on the table. Eventually the phone will detect the touch.
When i use it in my hand everything is working fine.
Here's a video demonstrating this problem:
The button works perfectly fine with MIUI 8, so it's not a hardware problem.
Any ideas would could be an issue?

Touch screen sensivity issue especially when it is on a flat surface

Hi, I am a satisfied user of the global version of Redmi Note 5 Pro, but in recent days I have noticed an imprecision in reading touches on the screen, especially when the phone is staying on the table or on the bed.
The most annoying thing is that it doesn't take the swipe from the bottom edge of the screen and doesn't trigger the home gesture.
On the phone is installed MIUI Global 9.5.13.0 (OEIMIFA) Stable.
Anyone else noticed this issue?
Sorry for my bad English :silly:
Just tried it out (same version and also using full screen gestures) and everything was fine. Never had a problem going back to the home screen or recent apps while the phone was on a table.

Android 11 update, notification bar stuck over full screen apps?

So yesterday I upgraded to the one ui 3.0 and android 11 update.
Since then, when I'm playing full screen apps/games, if I accidentally touch the top of the screen to pull down the notifications, the bar will never go away. So if I'm in a game I can no longer see the very top of the screen.
