O2 XDAiis Touch Screen Non Functional - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Guys, heres the story before i spill the problem.
This phone i originally own by my brother, it already has screen alignment problem every now and then, until i removed the battery the sim card then re attach everything, then the screen dont have any problem anymore.
Last month i exchange my n73 for his o2. Since i am a teacher, this phone is super helpfull to assist me every second with notes and typing whenever wherever. After 2 month the screen is having problem, ocasionally sometimes words written using the block recognizer all of sudden becomes scrambles, and now, the screen is useless, the touch screen is non functional.
The question is, do i have to replace the screen altogether, or maybe theres a wire loose or something? was the problem reappear due to active use?
Any assist or advice will be helpfull. oh and thanks in advance.

softkeys problem

I'm having problems with the softkeys, specially the left one it usually bounces and repeat the keystroke.
Has this happened to anyone?
similar problems here. little bit irritating.
Sometimes, too. More than that I have to push it few times to make it "click"
This was my last HTC
Same here! Weird.
I have this problem too. And also my camera have one horizontal line that changes color, on preview and on pictures. I tried to contact HTC in UK because i bought my phone there (i live in Croatia). But no response.
Same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem in my phone bougt this christmas. Left and right from joistick, and both softkeys work very very bad. Sometimes I have to press hard to obtain some response and others only one press makes two or three movements. This is very anoying while selecting pictures or using the calendar.
I'm searching for the invoice to take it to the technical service.
Best regards,
same problem here, can you please tell me wich rom you are using, the HTC rom or WM 6.1. I'm using 6.1 ROm and am wondering if the problem is ROM related or a hardware issue
Hardware, I kept the phone as it came in the box.

Ive just sent my phone off to HTC to be looked at (hopefully repaired under warranty). I've had the same stress cracks a lot of people seem to be having. And also the problem of multiple button presses randomly, lost count of the number of blank sms replies i sent because of it.
I'll let you know if I notice any improvement when i get the phone back or if they mention it at all.
problem
I sent 2 time my s730 to repair service for this problem. Finally they change the keyboard. The problem is reduced but not really solved.
I'm not sure it is a HW problem.
My phone is going back to HTC on monday...
1) single keypress jumps the menu twice
2) cracks in the side where the screws start
3) phone is very slow
The guy on the helpdesk asked me if I had ever upgraded my phone... so I had to tell him that it is HTC policy to not make any new updates for phones, they just bring out new phones... no reaction whatsoever...

It's not software's problem, it's more hardware problem, exactlier touch screen problem, for this kind problem we can't do anything, just to send phone to repairing service, and to hope , problem will'not repeat, but from my expirience, just after 10-15 days of using, touch screen start to not responding, i scarried all htc diamonds after some period, became same, and i think this is generally problem of htc diamond 1st generation, maybe for htc diamond 2 , htc company solved this "strange" and big problem, cause this situation means, give money for nothing and problems!
Giving 2 years warranty is ****, if phone will start 3rd year of using with same problem, maybe is better to give 5 years of warrant , cause this problem
I don't know if you've fixed this but i had this very problem and it turned out if you wiped the screen over once then it would be okay.. strange i know but theres quick fix that worked for me.
I had the same problem, I send it to service and tey changed the display
I've same problem, the screen only works well when phone is cold, after warms up it shows the same sintoms
Got the same problem here - when the phone is cold its 99% ok, when it gets warm (or even hot due CPU heavy to flash websites), it starts with this touch screen "dance" (and empties the battery in maybe 2 hours by not going into sleep mode).
But I found out that somehow giving the lower screen border a "massage" does help. I guess there is some screen to board connection behind, which does not get 100% contact when the device is warm/hot.
last tuesday diamond came back from service with new screen....today the same problem

Well i tried to make some pressure but same problem. I can disassemble the phone and see if something is not in place, and also use some contact spray to improve connection. Did someone try something like that?
i had the same problem as you due to water damage from using it after a shower. sent it off for warranty and they sent me a refurbished one. sending it off again because it had bad whites and a dodgy centre button.
to bypass the screen alignment screen create a file called "welcome.not" and put it in the root directory of the phone. not in the internal storage, you must put it in the device storage.

Touch Screen

Hi guys I've got a HTC Ignito and Id like abit of advice the touch screen on my phone seems to be acting up as u can press on the left hand side and it will detect pressure but only the top and bottom 5mm will work properly the rest it will activate what is on the opposite side or will do nothing.
when Ive tried to calibrate the screen it just constantly repeats the calibration process non stop but if you do a hard reset it will start working properly but as soon as you reset phone it messes up again.
Any one any ideas is the touch screen broken or is it another problem its got the stock rom on it
Sorry for the bad structore of post feeling abit tired as been up for hours annoyed at my phone.
I noticed a simmilliar issue starting a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the X-axis of the digitizer starts to die. In my case it only detects touches in Y direction, but not in X.
So far it only appeared under hot condition like sunlight or constantly running device in craddle. After cooling down it always came back to normal behaviour (so far)
Cheers bud for the reply. Its weird tho as its same as yours as it will detect the Y axis movemnt as when i hadnt hardrest it you could minamise the clock but that was it. Simalar problem happened to my grandads orbit and acted like urs then got progressivly worse over a few months.
I wonder if anybody knows if it would be sortedby getting a new touch screen.
HI...
Hopefully we are not the only ones... But yeah my MDA Compact (Diamond on T-Mobile UK) is doin the same thing. Like you guys, mine has staterd to get worse, before it was just a few edge icons that i could'nt press..but now sometimes pressing the screen anywhere does nothing, all i can do is scroll up or down.
Axelpix... you make a good point about temp...mine gets quite warm when charging on the USB. I will try to see if this is causing the problem.
Any info on fix would be greatly welcomed.
PS i'm running the Windows 6.5 Energy ROM. 14/07/2009
Hi guys least im not alone I think the only way to fix this problem might be to replace the touchscreen im just looking to see how much it would cost to buy a new one and if its easy to just replace the screen or if it comes attached to the lcd screen like on the orbit
continuous request to calibrate the screen
Yes, I have experienced this when i switched the handset on for the first time after purchase but it went off when I forced a restart to the handset.

TyTn II screen and touch screen issues.

Hi There,
Well my last TyTn II problem was solved, by a reboot. but sadly its doing other strange things.
Yesterday, as i was using it as i always do, the phone powered off just before i sent a text message. i turned it back on and everything seemed fine. A few hours later i went to use it and the touch screen was unresponsive. Turning the phone off, taking the battery out for a minute or two, and then turning it back on seemed to fix it. Ive also hard reset it and formatted the memory. The touch screen has been working on and off and now it has stopped responding again.
Also, something which has just started happening in the last hour. The Phone when i slide it, has a brief period where the phones screen turns off completely, no backlight or colour on the screen. This occours just after the screen slides past the spacebar and turns back on past the second line of letters (ASDF etc) on the keyboard the directional pad buttons stay lit the entire time.
Has anyone had similar problems? the phone is about 15 months old now, and i really dont want to have to send it to HTC or my mobile carrier.
And if it makes any difference, its the Stock 6.1 ROM from the HTC site for Optus Australia. Not unlocked or hacked in any way.
Thankyou very much for any help you can give me

Im sorry if i waffled on a little... but i said that.
Something strange that Ive noticed. the touch screen does work every now and again, until i slide it. Im not sure what triggers that, but it does it sometimes when i leave it be and come back to it, and others it doesn't.

Oooops, missed that part in your original post.
Well the problem has seemed to get worse now, with the notification lights displaying incorrectly, and the center d-pad button not responding. So ive contacted my Service provider for a warranty repair
good thing i have extended warranty 15 months it has been, maybe its time for an upgrade...
It's probably the ribbon cable that connects the two halves of the phone -- either broken or unseated.

Mega touch screen problems on x1

Hi Guys
I've been having some serious problems with the screen on my X1, most of the time now the screen doesn't respond to me tapping it, alignment is a waste of time.I'm wondering is there something I can do to fix it or will it simply be a matter of returning it. I'm in my last few months of a 18month contract and based on my recent experiences I doubt I will be getting another x1 (or even x2)
Thanks
Simon.
Exactly whats happened to mine! Its my 3rd X1 now and O2 cant (wont) fix it. Its a terrible phone. I cant use it now and you know what, I dont care, I would rather have a Nokia 6310.
Ive had every problem going and Im careful with my phones. First one the screen died when opening, second one no one can hear me and now this. I have also had the usual cracks issue on all 3 phones. Even when the phone works the reception terrible and it hangs all the time. Never a sony Xanything again.
Alignment problems and touch screen problem
I just updated my X1 last week ( 02/17/2010, my phone it's 1 year old with no problem at all, before this ) and everything was OK. Then on sunday the screen wasn't aligned, and I started to aligned almost every hour. Then I realized that after sliding the keyboard, the touch screen was death (not black, but doesn't work the touch function) for about 40 seconds, and after that it works again ( opened and Landscape). I also need to align the screen very often.
Before this happend, I never aligned the screen, only when I updated the X1. Also, on last friday ( before the screen problem ) I installed the Youtube aplication for the X1, and gave me problems because it doesn't have a Landscape screen, and the X1 crashed when I slide it, then I had to reboot it.
After this problem I started to have problems with my X1 ( alignments and death touch screen with keyboard opened )
Does some body have an idea to solve the problem?
Im sure this has to do with software or advanced settings like HKEY config.
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem
but now, the problem is horrible
the alignement doesn t accept
when i touch the down list (call, contact etc...) the xperia open the Start bar

and it returns to normal after a while
what could cause this problem
i flashed many roms, with same result
It's not something either of you installed, but your hardware - either your digitizers are on the way out or your flex.
its hardware
yes, i can say its hardware. I have repaired many of them now.
Most of the time when its black/no touch screen response its the flex cable.
somehow the cable damages very easy when opening/closing it.

Have try this?
1. Use a registry editor
2. Navigate to or search for:
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold
and
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
(eg search on "pressure" and you'll find both)
3. Edit the values to any VERY VERY high value such as 999999999 (nine 9s)
*** CAUTION: do NOT change either of these fields to anything less than about 2000
because if you go low enough you will make your touchscreen unresponsive,
at which point it's tricky to change it back (learned the hard way)
Do I welcome aboard?
I have the same problem now and before I read this thread, I formatted my X1 cos I thought that problem was caused by software. Now I am sure it's about hardware. Have to open it soon
are you sure it's an hardware issue?
for me it started today after hard reset...too bad!
Well screen problems in Xperia are mostly caused due to the loose flex cable. Mine had the same problem. At times the screen would work and sometime the screen would not appear. But if you want to open your X1 and have a go at it yourself then do so.
I managed to fix my flex cable without causing any damage *phew*
If you have nothing to loose then give it a try and see if you get lucky.
