HALP! I can't hit all my letters - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

over the last couple days my onscreen keyboard has been acting flaky. I cant select so of the letters, e's are r's , s's forget about it. if I rotate the phone it works. do you think the digitizer is bad?

There is a touch screen test app in the play store that you could try, and you could also try a different keyboard and see if there are similar problems.
I hope that halped.

wow, it is screwed.there is about 1/2 inch band top to bottom that you cannot use

yeah no wp8 either *spit* looking at LG optimus. I just dont want to make a horrible mistake like my wife's HTC inspire, i really wanted to upgrade that, too bad my atrix is becoming unusable for texting

Hm, phone recommendations now? This is quite off-topic here, not to mention there are several other threads about this already...

Get a replacement digitizer with the bezel off eB!ay and search YouTube for a guide to replacing it. I've done it twice now and I'm rubbish at fixing things usually!

awesome! looks pretty nice, like a S2 but wider...
so its kinda in between an s2 and a tab 7" then? might have to invest now i sold my tab....
Cracking phone but wayyy too big for my liking, the size of the GS2 is perfect anything beyond that is just too big you may as well just buy a tablet.
I love this phone. Will buy it if the audio and yellow tint issue is not there on this one. I love the size as well as don't think it wont fit my pocket. Great combination of phone and tablet in one. And remember G2 itself is usually much more powerful than most of the tablets! If this phone has better audio, will definitely go for it.

Looks like I killed a portion of my screen... any suggestions?

I noticed today that when I tried to hit "e" button, it would hit "w" or "r" which was getting annoying. I thought maybe my build (Epinters JB) might have been having some problems.
Well after some reasearch, it looks like a line of my touchscreen is not functioning. Here is a screenshot from the Dev Tools "Pointer Location"

So my question is what options do I have... is it game over for my lovely Atrix? is this a fixable problem?
Thanks for the help!
The same thing happened on my EVO 3D. I replaced the digitizer and LCD and it works fine now. If you feel up to it you could purchase the parts and replace it yourself.

I don't think there's any need to replace the LCD. Just the digitizer and it should be fine.
Where can I find the proper item? Did you follow specific directions?

You can find it in ebay, search for 'atrix digitizer', a friend of mine bought one a few months back for less than 40 USD.
As for how to do it, here is a good tutorial.
I purchased an oem one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EYGEO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 I bought one before and it was not oem. Attracted more fingerprints, broke rather easy, and didnt have tint where the sensors were. So I recommend paying the extra couple bucks for oem. The seller I got it from (Seller1on1) actually issued me an RMA because i broke the ribbon cable by mistake. Which definitely scored some serious brownie points. Just be careful you don't buy an inferior or refurbished product.

[APP][KEYBOARD] Slice keyboard it will blow your mind

One of the biggest benefits of Android is, and always has been, the plethora of
available software keyboards. Don't like stock? No problem - there's something
out there that will make your typing experience suck less. But what works great
on phones may not be so hot on a large-screen devices like a tablets, so there's
basically a whole subset of keyboards - or at least keyboard layouts - in that arena.
Enter a newcomer to the tablet keyboard ring: Slice. This keyboard... well, it's insane.
Just watch.
Unique? Definitely. Brain-melting? Without question. Practical? You can be the judge
of that one. There's a demo version of Slice in the Store so you can give it a shot, and
the full version will set you back a five spot if you're ready to commit. If nothing else, you
can use it to play Space Invaders.

It will all depend on how well the spell check and word prediction is. Right now i've yet to find anything that can touch swiftkey.
I watched this couple of says ago, it would certainly screw with people's heads if nothing else.

Invalid ram console

Hey guys. I had my LG G5 H831 for almost a month and I sold it off to a guy who is calling me and telling me that it reboots twice a day and he gets this screen

I have never had any issues with it. Is there any way to fix this?

Definitely a hardware issue for LG to look into. Not sure what warranty/guarentee is avail because of changing ownership - but it should stll be obviously less than a year old.
How do you know it wasn't caused by something he did?
If it was me (and assuming it never had a problem before it was sold), the guy would have to sort it out himself. That is part of the game when buying second hand stuff.
His problem.

Good point. I did unlock the phone right before I sold it to him. Do you think that could have caused that?

A quick search led me to the same answer. Contact your carrier/LG. https://www.google.com/search?q=lg+...i57.10464j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
The first G5 I received gave that exact screen a couple times and began rebooting then died completely within the first 12 hours of owning it.

Yep I did the same. Well ...i preordered this time before seeing the phone in person, but it's a Note 8 I had no doubts

Thanks for posting pics of the Orchid Grey Note 8. I blindly ordered it and read somewhere that it was purple'ish and started to freak out [emoji23]. Looks fantastic and I'll be glad to have something other than a black slab for once. Finding it in the car floor while driving at night is a nightmare haha.

It's because most activities require scrolling down or upwards, a taller screen would mean more viewing and less scrolling. At least this is what they said on the live release event.
Personally I think it looks great too now they have moved onto software keys instead
