Lost touch screen control

---

OK, now I have a problem.
If I turn my xoom off and then on again the touchscreen will not respond to any input, only hardware buttons work.
If I hold volume up and power button to restart, it restarts and everything works OK. I can but it to sleep and wake it up and still everything works. Everything works until I turn it off and on again, then the problem returns and I need to hold volume up and power button to restart it again to get the touch screen working.

I searched the net but didn't find anything similar.
Any ideas?

is it still stock or you rooted / update kernel ?

Its complitly stock wifi only Xoom, bought from US about two weeks old.

I tried Factory reset, it didn't change anything.

Strange thing is that volume up and power reset fixes it every time. And it works fine until i turn it off again. What does this volume up and power button command do exactly, soft reset? If soft reset fixes it, it can't be a hardware problem or can it?

If I were you I would return it cuz to me that sounds like a defect with your xoom. But if u messed with it (rooting/unlocking) they won't even touch it.

Like i already said, i haven't messed with it, it's completely stock.

About returning it... The problem is that i'm in Europe and i bought my Xoom from US, so i'm not really excited about sending it back.

Is it somehow possible to install the current android 3.0.1 rom again? Without unlocking and rooting?

I do not know if it works on the xoom but other tablets have a calibration ini file that you can place on the root of your SD card and reboot letting it recalibrate the touch screen? Let me know and I can send that to you?

Thanks for trying to help! I'm not sure i want to mess with this yet. I talked to Motorola about my problem and the seemed very interested in my problem, so i will wait and see what they suggest.

Any news from there? I have a similar situation here (malfunctioning touchscreen, and I'm from Europe).

My malfunctioning is slightly different from yours, but I'm interested in what Motorola says for a problem like this.

They are still thinking how they can help me, there is no solution yet, I will let you know when I get a solution from them.
And yes, my problem seems different from you. No one have reported anything similar to my problem.
I have seen a few threads similar to your problem.

Really? I haven't seen anything like my problem in forums, and everyone told me that my problem is "strange" :S
However, just in case, have you thought about how to return the Xoom from Europe to US? Or are you directly talking with Motorola to file a RMA practice? After all, we should have one year of international warranty by Motorola, isn't it?
