We’ve had a few interesting reports of folks having huge problems with the AT&T Nexus Ones. Here we see a lad tap-tap-tapping away, unable to get anything pressed.
Anyone else having issues?

OMG! How could you! I just ordered mine last night! Oh well I can’t imagine this being the general consensus for everyone, I mean not everyone got the original 3G issues. I trust that should anything go wrong software-wise, HTC and Google will be there to fix it.
I have faith.
I’m pretty sure Apple is grabbing them en route and fucking with ‘em. Ha, take that for stealing our “innovation”!
As if this issue is very surprising, considering the scenario that N1 really had some problems on its touchscreen during its debut.
Anyway, I’m sure its fixed now…
I also have issues with my Sprint Hero TouchScreen when plugged into the wall. The issue does not appear when plugged into my computer, but when plugged into the charger I get extremely frustrating behavior. I noticed yours was plugged in also. Try unplugging it and try again.
This seems more like a HTC hardware issue instead of a Google or Android problem.

The same thing happens with my Motorola Droid when I have it hooked up to a wall charger purchased from Walmart. When it’s on OEM charger, it works just fine.
I hope it’s the charger.
I want to order one. Of course, that depends on the good folks on eBay buying my iPhone 3G.
My Hero has issues with the touch screen when it’s plugged into cheap chargers too. When I use the one that came with the phone it’s fine but the charger I got on Amazon for dirt cheap makes the phone almost useless.
hey there, just watned to say this is one well written article! Thanks for posting this. I was looking for a site that has this kind of info and im glad i stumbled upon this one. Keep up the great articles.

The capacitive touchscreen senses distortions in your electrostatic field.
Works fine in the lab. Then you put electronics next to it and there’s noise.
You cancel the noise with ASIC. Off the shelf ASIC work… somewhat. Not iPhone perfectly well but decent enough.
Then you switch the chip in the phone for AT&T’s network and you get an entirely different kind of noise.
This is hardware, not software. HTC/Google needs in house ASIC designers for every phone and every configuration.
“My Hero has issues with the touch screen when it’s plugged into cheap chargers too”
Precisely, the phone is emitting new kinds of noise with a different charger.
Anything and everything affects it and the ASIC has to be designed to cancel precisely that noise.
There is no one size fits all ASIC!
Some think it’s just to put a new chip in the phone and have the iPhone on T-Mobile, China Mobile or Verizon.
I have a nexus one and the fist phone became un- usable. HTC replaced it and its much better, but the touch screen is starting to fail again.
This screen and keyboard is terrible. I love the phone, but with this keyboard problem it is useless when I often need it for “quick” notes, etc.
I am using my iPhone as a iPod touch, but often think about re-activating… The truth is the iPhone just works and this nexus one does not work ALL of the time.
Google you should be honest with all of us and fix our phones.
My phone is with T-Mobile and same problem.
Haven’t seen this particular problem, but these screens work best when you press with the pad of one’s finger, not the tip.
My Nex wrks just fine
No problems here. At&t n1
I’ve had my T-mo variant of the N1 since the second week of January… and no problems here. And I’m ALWAYS on this thing…
got the at&t n1, very pleased, nothing wrong that i can see with the screen issue.. maybe they fixed it after the first batch?
Quick note, Calibrate Keyboard before you start recording.
I hadn’t had a problem until this morning when I was trying to use they touch pad in bed. My two theories were the orientation (I was lying on my side) or the fact that it was a cold morning and my fingers were dry and cold and hence had different capacitive properties. It was unusable- keystrokes were out by two or more positions. Now it’s fine again as I type this with minimal errors.
