Nexus 4 Sweep2wake pocket problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have had sweep2wake/double tap to wake for a long time now, and I've always had a problem with waking up in the pocket, but there's one thing that is weird. If I leave it in my pocket for too long, the screen will become unresponsive, eg I can press the power button to turn the screen on, but after that I can't use the screen. I have to reboot to get the screen to work again.
Anyone have a problem like this?

i do get that some times.
you can try placing all ten fingers on the screen at one time and then try the touch screen again.
works well for me when my touch screen hangs.

That is a well known issue and we can't do anything for it. you can use a flipcover case and avoid such problem or else sacirfice s2s/d2w feature.

I see, thanks

[PROB] HD going on by itself from standby.

Anyone experienced the same issue? After using the phone I press the power button but after few secs. the screen goes on again and its annoying.. Especially when I take out my HD from pocket and I see it. It was happening on stock rom now on Duttys. Could it be hardware issue with the button?

Try it without stylus inside. maybe faulty stylus thats what happened to me.
I have exactly the opposite, I switch it on, and a second later it switches off again!!
Faulty stylus? Do you mean that I try using the other one or?
When we´re already talking about the stylus, I noticed that sometimes when I pull it out my HTC doesn´t wake up from standby.. That didn´t happen on my Diamond.
The only solution I found so far is using the device lock after 0min. so I could avoid accident calls in my pocket. But there is the annoying PIN nr. every time... :/
Today I noticed, the device keeps going out of standby cca. every 10-20mins. Bad. The screen turns on and after few secs off..
mine too, every 10/20 mins.
will be some software doin it i think.

Streak Touch Response Messing Up

This just started yesterday but the bottom of my screen (the side where the serial port is) seems to be less responsive than normally. When I go to click to respond to a text message I find myself having to press it repeatedly. Sometimes the whole screen becomes un-responsive or if I click up top it will actually make a response at the bottom. Could this be at all due to an app or something I installed? Because normally when I put it on standby (pressing the power button once) and turn it back on it will fix it all but the unresponsive bottom section for texting only. Does this make sense to anyone why this could be happening?
Just having touch problems all together
i keep pressing the screen so many timees... even tried to restart and take the battery out. but still same problems
any help
Thanks
Try recalibrating the touch screen guys, that might help. Also if you have a screen protector on, try removing it, I found my first one got more unresponsive over time.
I dont like screen protectors for that very reason and dont use them. But where is the screen recalibration? I've looked and looked for it since this started happening. It's half way working now and really just varies. So if there is a way to calibrate I really feel like that would fix it. Thanks!!

yeah mine did that and calibration fixed it.
power it off, hold down both volume buttons and power it on, holding down all three until the menu appears.
Choose option 3 and away you go!
hth....
Haha, this completely fixed it!!! I'm so excited right now becaus I was terrified I did something to it. It works perfectly again. Thank you guys so much!!!

It's nice to be able to give some advice that works for a change

Unresponsive screen from sleep

Anyone having an unresponsive (to touch) screen when the a500 wakes up?
I thought it was just me or the rom i had or some app doing it but a coworker just got his a500, hasnt installed anything really and is not rooted.
I can sometimes push the sleep/power button a few times and it will come to life but not always.
I think twice i have had to use the hard reset button.
Almost seems as if the screen is not responding to touch when you wake it up and it has to rotate the screen to the orientation you are holding it, but that is 100% speculation and i only say that because the l9ckscreen is unresponsive

Once in a while. Usually only when the device has been asleep for a long time. Not sure how to prevent this issue - i usually find hitting the power button a few times clears it up, but I have been forced to reboot from the issue once in a while.

Windows button not always responding?

Hello! Just bought an Optimus 7! Really good phone for the price!
But i got one problem! When im going to turn on the phone with the windows button its sometimes not responding!
Somebody else got this problem?
Yes. Happens to me all the time, but I always use the power button to turn on the screen so it doesn't bother me that much...
Sounds like a known issue.

Same here. It must be a software bug because the button is always working when the phone is unlocked.
If you still hold for a while it works
One reason for the screen not turning on is that you may be blocking the proximity sensor at the top left of the phone. The reason behind that is probably to avoid turning on the screen when the phone is e.g. in a pocket.
for me the start button for screen unlock always works, but many times screen is unlocked and all black, the systems listen to the touch input but doesnt show nothing at all....it happens very often usually when the phone is hot...

Screen Wake On Calls

Hi, I just got my Galaxy s8 about 3 weeks ago. I've had very little in the way of problems with it. Well, except one thing... Everytime I make a call on it the screen will wake up at random. It doesn't matter if it's a call from the installed phone app or hangouts. I thought this might have something to do with the apps edge so I disabled that. Didn't fix it. I thought it might be the home button so I put it on the lowest sensitivity. Didn't fix it. I frequently call while laying in bed (who wants to hold a phone up all the time?) so the phone is between my head and a pillow. When the screen wakes up it clicks and than shuts off after five seconds because I turned on the keep off when in pocket or whatever it's called in settings. Before I turned that on the screen would stay on and buttons would get pressed usually ending up with me ending a call. I still think it's the home button but I'm not sure how to fix it. It anyone has any ideas or has the same issue please let me know.

Its the proximity sensor.

Proximity sensor is working though.. I have no way to test it properly but if I place my hand near it the screen goes black and when I move it it lights up again. It also doesn't make the click
Had this bug on every device
So it's just a bug? No fix currently? I'm just wondering because I haven't seen anyone talking about this specific issue before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm also suffering from this issue
