sometimes my touch screen doesn't work and I need to lock the phone and unlock then works again.

is this software or hardware problem? If it is hardware, why I lock+unlock it works again?

but I have tried different ROMS, all have this problem.

Do your capacitive buttons go unresponsive as well?

Bump!

same thing happening to my Atrix. sometimes, even lock/unlock scenario is not working. I have to pull the battery. That's really annoying.

I tried the full wipe, it helped in some way, the frequency dropped but the problem is not completely gone.

Any idea to fix?

Sounds like you screwed up your pds partition while flashing a ROM. Just search this forum for pds partition fix and follow the instructions in that thread.

ႊTried that PDS fix a few weeks ago. It indeed fixed the screen issue, but after flashing that pds thing, my wifi is no longer working. :( any way to fix it pls?

Bah, this happened to me aswell, it's a hardware problem with the digitizer. Download the app touch test and check for dead spots with it.

i have this problem too im on cm7 and i saved my pds back when i unlocked my bootloader and reflashing it does nothing. it will sometimes have no response when the screen is locked, it wont wake up the red led is lit, but just very dim battery pull is the only way to recover any ideas.

Just make an account with MOTOROLA and go to GET HELP tab-->SERVICE MY PRODUCT--> and follow accordingly..

It should be covered under warranty

happened to me too. sent back to ATT was a bit nervous because I unlocked the bootloader, but lo and behold no issues (like always)

it got progressively worse, touch test showed the center wasn't responding, then more and more and more until I couldn't touch a thing (I had since switched to a backup)

got my replacement, all is well.

I did notice that this seemed to have happened after I started spending considerable amount of time playing the game "R-Type" obviously the app didn't do it, but it has touch controls that require you to keep your finger pressed on the center of the screen for a prolonged time, just food for thought.

have the same problem, its very annoying. try going on to stock rom for about a week then switch back to what ever rom you want and then see what happens.
