Hello,
I've been having problems with the touchscreen lately. Everytime it is not 'grounded' via my PC USB cable, whenever I try to put two fingers horizontally or vertically they seems to disrupt each other ie:
http://i.imgur.com/ASwFmhw.jpg
This doesn't happen when:
1. USB connected to the PC. (seems to have the best result)
2. I hold the phone with my hands and it doesn't lie on a flat surface. (still ghost touches when I align 3 or more fingers in certain position)
3. It is hooked to a decent charger with proper grounding.
Seems like there is some kind of static charge leftovers or something that disrupts the multitouch in horizontal and vertical positions. Any way to permanently get rid of such static electricity? Or is it literally 'leaking' somewhere from within the device and the only thing I can do is RMA?
People on the MIUI forums reported similar problems but only while charing the device with improper chargers.
if You have root try adding persist.usb.hvdcp.detect=true to build.prop, always take a backup before changing anything, see if that helps

Tried, didn't work. The issues seems hardware based. The grounding of static electricity is simply broken inside the phone and there is no way to fix it other than to disassemble and see what is wrong.
Thanks anyway.

Damn that's bad, I've solved with this line, hope You find the problem but as You point it seems like a defective touch panel :good:
I also have ghost touchs while charging AC. I've tried a lot of roms and anyone solved it. Anyway, I learned I shouldn't use the pone while charging xDD

That's just a bad filtered charger, I own a 2A charger which is bad filtered, i hear the mains hum in my earbuds when connected to the phone while charging with this one, ghost touches and random taps included.
And then I have another 2 chargers, one is 1A, which came with my MI3 and the other one is a 750mA Nokia AC-20E which came with Lumia 520. None of these two make ghost touches or hum from mains. All depends on their filtration circuit quality. Try some other charger, for instance some Samsung charger and see if the phone is usable then.

The left one is the 2A "ghost touch" charger and the right one is the original charger which came with my Mi3.

I RMA'd the phone, the technician stated that a change of the touch panel was done.
Alas, the problem persists. I specifically said that there is a grounding problem yet they only service the touch panel. I am quite furious right now.
Waited almost a month for them to do exactly nothing with it.
I too hv this issue why is it anyone knws or hv solution for it?
i m facing this problem even when phone is not connected to usb...and when i restart it problem solved for some time and then again continues ...any solutions found ? one plus one also got this problem
found temperary and good solution :

Hello,
I've had my tilt for less than a year now. Today, my screen, when I turned it on, shook and while it was shacking, it was showing multiple lines on the screen. At the end, the screen was complete white. I can still make/receive calls, however, I wouldn't know what's going on since the screen was white. It seems to me it was a loose connection???? It got me extremely worried. I took off the battery, made a hard-reset, tried to physically move the screen, non worked. all of a sudden, the screen was fine. Later today, it happened again.
Can anyone please explain this problem to me and how to fix it. I would really appreciate that...
Thank you
Not sure what "shacked" means.
But given you are under 1 year, you probably have a warranty. Would be best to try and get a warranty exchange.
To have you dig around inside checking connection and voiding your warranty, would not be wise with an active warranty.

Ahh Booo.
Ok, Find mikechannon's disassembly guides and wiggle all your connections. Sounds like a loose connection to me.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply, I dismantaled my device and made sure all the connections are fine. The problem still appears....
Ok Next Thing it, The LCD panel is "dieing" you will probably need to replace it.

I noticed that when it happens, if I touched the OK and the end call button together, it would sometimes solve the issue. I would have to do it several times though. Is that any hint? are there screen related connections underneath those buttons?
Thank you for your continuing support, much appreciated!
OK, I've noticed that once I click on the call button, the white screen shows up. As I said, I dismantled my device and checked all the connections. However, I didn't go further than the 15th page, i didn't go further because I though that it wasn't necessary.. That's the websites of the tutorial I followed:
http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/Replacing the LCD on a Kaiser.pdf
So the two connections I made sure they are properly in was the small and big one only like in the picture below....

Please help as this issue is really bothering me. Anyhelp is much appreciated!
Those connections you have pointed out in those pictures are the keyboard ribbon connections....I think you might have to dismantle a bit further to get to the screen.

OK, I went further and was able to see the screen ribbon. I made sure the connections are in tight. However, after putting everything back, the problem still persist. Now, I'll be more than happy to buy a new screen IF it solves the problem... Please correct me if i'm wrong, doesn't seem more like a connection problem; maybe the chip that holds the ribbon cable is loose? In this case, it would need soldering???
Moreover, I noticed that the screen ribbon is underneath the talk button. Like I said before, touching the talk button solves the white screen*. Isn't that more proof that its not a screen issue?
I am very grateful for any advice...
Thank you
* Before completely dismantling the phone, it used to be touching the talk button brings the white screen problem, now its the opposite
hello
I have got a problem with my xperia, the top bar shows that my stereo headset is connected but is not...therefore, i cant hear anyone who is trying to call me or i call anyone.. i have been in a vodafone store and they could not find a solution, i also have done hard reset and is still the same... now im about to flash new rom. would that be a solution or any of you got different?
please help me, thanks in advance
try connecting headset again but give it a wiggle about, not too much also try pulling it out and puting it back in quickly several times in a row. be carefull.
i tried that already, not working
after a hard reset i can only assume it's a hardware fault, so i would go get it fixed because if you flash a new rom that will invalidate your waranty.
do that in the FMradio application
thank you guys, i also think that i should return it for vodafone service..
i tried in fmradio and still no working
sorry to hear that. good luck with that
last time that annoying thing happened to me i had to go to the htc HD fm radio app and plug and unplug the offical 3.5 connector to make it work( try plugging->listen to radio->set output to speakers-> then unplug)
a bunch of questions:
-what rom are you using
-did you try different 3.5 connectors
-is the earphone that caused the problem low quality?
the last time this happened to me i used the stylus and just waggled about for ages and ages and eventually the sensor registered that the headphones weren't plugged in.
do a search as plenty of people have had the exact same problem ...
good luck !
yes - just waggle the stylus around in it until it goes - worked for me
thank you..the thing with stylus works, hopefully but its still anoying to do that every time i put my headset
i have got an original vodafone uk rom
yes, i have tried many different headsets
the quality is fine
I have the exact same problem on my 4 month old X1, and now i dont rly know how hard i should wiggle with the stylus...

try waggling and then try inserting the headphones a few times and taking them out too
I've had the same prob for a week now.
After reading up on other HTC phones with the same issue I've found that what went wrong was a little hardware switch inside the jack failed to reset to its off position when the headphones where removed.
To locate the switch:
Turn the phone onto back so that the screen is facing upwards. The switch is at the 4-5 o'clock position if you look directly at the headphone jack, at around 1cm in.

I inserted a small pin which was bent a little at the end to relative position I have described and after I felt it snag just gave it a small wiggle. When doing this I noticed the headphone icon would disappear for a second and return.
This is how I knew I was in the correct position. Then I gave it a good twist.
(I think anti clockwise, but you will know from which direction worked when you wiggled)
The headphone icon disappeared for good and now I'm back to normal phone use!
(Do this at your own risk! But its more precise than sticking the stylus in blind)

DO NOT RETURN IT. This happened to me once, and ONLY once after using the phone for like 6 months. I soft reset and nothing happened.
There is something wrong with the way the device toggled the connection. Just replug and unplug and press play and pause on your video/music player. It should purge sooner or later.
You can also hard reset your device you will find that the problem will most likely purge.
@Charcobeans: Thanks, it worked within 5 seconds Thats just the instructions I searched for. Waggling around did not work, but more precise it was easy. Thanks!
Hi! Some weeks ago my kaiser stop playing sounds like music and the ringtones.I dont know if it happened when i dropped it on the floor... So i opened my kaiser (bought on ebay and has no warranty) to see if there was something changed. The speaker looks well but i bought a new one from ebay (received it broken ). I just opened it a little but i saw something that i dont know if is right and i would like you to tell me. I dont know if it's a little battery but it looks like it's covered with a strange substance.Now is it supposed to be there or could it be caused by huminity for instance?
Here are some pics:

Hi. It Is "golden cap" which is back up source. The P/N is in the service manual. The replacement part could be found on digikey...The substance sould not be there. Cheers!
you should replace that battery, its fully corroded, which may lead to rust in your kaiser... take it out and wait for the new one to arrive!
Yup that's one leaky battery. You'll need to replace that and clean up the contacts extremely carefully, being careful not to get acid on yourself or anything else.
use of golden capacitor
Hi
I face some trouble with my Kaiser (sometimes don't charge battery, sometimes reboot...)
Since it did not charge battery at all, I opened it and remouted it : it work properly again.. then it started not working again
I'm asking myself : if this capacitor is old (about 3 years) what could be the symptoms of its failure ?
Thank you for your help
Yes, Good question!!
My kaiser stopped charging. The PC would recognise it and it would (usually) boot fine but would not charge. I found another one that i bought cheap.
I had the other one laying around and thought i'd have a play with it.
I tried:
--Other USB cables.
--Other chargers.
--Other battries.
--Charging with an external battery charger.
Turns out that it all works fine but the phone will not work as a charger. I read somewhere that the fuse may have blown that is why the PC still recognises it. However, i'm not sure i can rule out the golden cap. Anyone changed a fuse? anyone had the same problem and a change of the golden cap solved it?
There is not much chatter about these problems either. I may start a new thread...
Hi
I guessed that my problem came form the internal battery connector.
I soldered directly a battery on the connector, and the battery charged OK.
But this fix seems more to be a "lucky strike" then a real patch to the problem.
Tell me if you open a new thread about golden cap.
I have a guess why the phone stopped playing music: I think the slot of the volume button is loose. On your first picture next to the main battery pins there is a small slot into which the volume control connects. When you put it back, make sure it is well pushed into the slot, I had this problem previously.
Hello,
Recently I sent my nexus one for a button replacement. I got the phone back with some strange symptoms:
- Flash light blink at random event (first boot, after I hang up a call, etc..) but cannot be controlled by software (torch and camera app in CM7, MIUI or the stock firmware). The camera however works fine.
- The ambient sensor is dead. It either reports a very high value (2600 or 5800) or a very low one (10) (these values were taken from the CM7 auto brightness adjustment settings)
- Mic from the headphone when I plug in does not work anymore (the mic works before and tested to be in working condition)
From some online research, it seems like a loose connector can cause the wonky flash light problem (report by fblodroid, he fixed it by plug the connector back)
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=46ef1e3a49030ed9&hl=en
My question is: can the other two problems be related to this connectors as well? Or did I get a defective board?
I plan to fix it once the tools arrives (dealextreme takes forever!). Another option is to bring it back to the service center to get fixed (this will take a week, and who knows what kind of fees on top of that). I'd prefer to fix it if I can.
Anyone has some knowledge about this kind of issue? Any idea what do those connectors do?

Dude, if your N1 is on warranty I wouldn't even bother to think what is causing this problems Send it back. You'd have o wait some time but you will still have your warranty for the future, and if you disassemble it you will probably loose it (not mentioning that your problem could be unfixable!).
They screwed up and they should fix it for free. I hate when electronics come back in worse condition after repair than before...
Well, it's out of warranty. But I think I have 3 months part warranty from the last repair.
They didn't put any seal on the screws this time. Maybe you're right, it's smarter to just send it back to get everything resolved.
I'm just curious whether all the problem described above can be attributed to the board they replaced (or one or two loose connectors).

I didn't know about the warranty, BUT: They spoiled your phone while fixing button so as a consumer you have right to demand that they fix it free of charge! Maybe it's something like silicon defect or "cold solder" (don't now if it's correct name. Google-Translated it) on the main board. They should have tried it before sending it to you.
Wish your N1 will get better soon
Hey guys, I'm pulling my hairs out on this problem I am getting with my note 4.
Long story short - I cannot get a GPS fix (to even a single sat) with my N910T.
The longer version:
This thing had a cracked screen - but worked great before that (no GPS problems) and I used it a good year before breaking it. So I bought a N910A (ATT) note 4 to use the screen to fix my trusty note.
I gutted both phones, and put my N910T motherboard in the N910A's frame, with the screen still attached to the frame. I kept the N910A's USB daughterboard (with the charging port) because in the research I did, it seemed basically identical to the one from my broken screen frame, and I knew it would be tricky to get that out and into the new one without busting the new glass or destroying the flex cables.
So after some trouble with the S pen not working initially (the cable didn't press in fully, had to stick paper behind the flex cable and it went in properly) I was able to get the phone up and running again, and all features seemed to work great again.
However - I noticed after a couple days that the GPS was super spotty, so bad it was mostly unusable. I noticed that AGPS was on and it was using wifi and mobile data to help get a fix, so I turned it to GPS only mode. In GPS only mode the phone gets not signal whatsoever, no matter where I am.
I tried the simple fixes many recommend online, one which is to try tightening the screws a bit, and in fact, as this process continued I opened and closed up the phone several times, making sure to carefully but tightly screw all the screws back into place. That didn't help. I also tried making sure the compass calibration was good - and it made no difference. And I even factory reset to make sure there were no issues with installed apps or anything like that.
I got to thinking, perhaps its a issue with the small bendable pins that press from the motherboard into the mid-frame not making good contact, so I tore the phone down a couple more times, slightly bent out - very carefully - all the pins that press into the mid-frame to make them all have a solid contact, and even tried to get any corrosion or debris from the pads on the mid-frame. I even made sure there was contact for those little ones alone the sides of the phone which seem to have something to do with the buttons rather than what I'm dealing with.
Still no luck, so I tried doing a NV rebuild, which I read might solve getting 0 sat fixes, and discovered my phone wouldn't let me into that menu of the service options, so I had to install root and then do it through shortcut master instead. Once I finally was able to get to the menu and run the NV rebuild.... nothing changed.
So I am fresh outta ideas, and I'm thinking that A) that ATT USB daughterboard actually plays a part in GPS somehow and I need to take my TMO one out of the old phone and put it in the new frame and screen.... or B) Something is damaged on my motherboard.... or C) Somebody out there has a better solution
Any ideas, experiences of what worked are all appreciated!
BUMP --------
Still having this issue. Tried opening it up, and realllllly making sure those antenna springs are making contact, and I made sure the contacts on the mid frame are clean.
I tried TopNTP and that made no difference. Here is an image of whats going on when I run GPS Test:
