Is anyone having an idea on how to handle the following:
- Start menu is opening and closing by itself, and
- after a while the device stops to respond to any input on the touchscreen, while other functionalities seem to be OK;
- neither a soft nor a hard reset help. The screen remains 'frozen' until... again difficult to say why, it recovers and then ...all over again as above.
thanks,
Nic
Sometimes, the "Time Settings" display opens automatically. Don't know why.
r u using a screen protector?
no screen protector... just a clean screen. I assume is a driver or another soft issue. Have it sent to eurotwice for repairs. They changed the touchscreen and worked for a while. So I assume it is not a faulty hardware... Could it be linked with installing skype?!
Some of my friends with the same type of HTC have no problems with that.
However the device is slower than before.... although after a hard reset
I have an AT&T Tilt...until Friday it worked great...It has WM6.1, HTC Home and spb Mobile Shell.... Friday I changed the screen protector from the same pack that I have used for months and then the problems started.... Randomly when I try to touch the screen it appears to lock up, but then the start menu will drop down. The soft buttons work, but then every once in a while the start menu will drop down again. I have soft reset to no avail, but then in an hour or so it will start working fine again. Anyone have any ideas, does it sound like a hardware or software problem? should I hard reset the phone and start over? Help
Thanks
Andy
pull off your screen protector.
chances are you have it touching on a side which causes pressure somewhere else and it (touchscreen) thinks its being touched in a different place.
which in turn makes you believe its locked up, since it does not have multi-touch touchscreen it will not respond because it is perceiving a touch somewhere else.
Thank You...Thank You... I believe that was the problem.....
HI guys..
I have a weird problem..
Sometimes the screen shows up with a weird diagonal overlay. A couple of times the screen has just been blank, but with full touch screen capability. Anyone else experienced this?
I am presuming that its ROM related, as removing the battery for a few seconds seems to solve it (the blank screen issues) or soft off-ing and on-ing the device for the diagonal lines.
it is weird though!
I'd try hard resetting your phone, to test if it's gone. If it isn't after a hard reset, then I'd send it back.
Frozen screen
My TD2 was just a week old. After I installed a screen canvas software my screen did not react anymore except the hardware keys. I have no other choice but to hard reset my TD2. Another weird is that I was still not able to have my screen reactable in the connection setup once after the hard reset. I have to remove the SIM card and try another soft reset and this put back my TD2 to have the connection setup again without problem. I wonder if I have my TD2 back to service centre or to the shop for a return, but the device seems not having trouble now. Wish my TD2 can work without this issue again.
My TD2 sometimes have a VERY little white line in the very upper-left corner of the display.
If i rotate the screen in landscape mode, that line will remain in the upper-left corner, but in landscape (in vertical mode it will be in the upper-right).
And with Coreplayer i always see, in fullscreen mode, 2 purple lines or a green lines in the upper screen.
Even yours TD2? I tought it was finixNoverbattery, but even uninstaling it the problems are there.
My kaiser's touch screen suddenly has aquired an attitude. Some time it works, some it doesn't. When I touch nothing happens. Also when I slide open the keyboard, it works, but as soon as I close the keyboard, it stops working again. When I reboot, the screen works, but it stops after some time. Then it works if I open the keyboard. I have done hard reset, but that hasn't solved the problem.
Is there any thing I can do to fix it.
Now the touch works only if keyboard is open and doesn't work when closed. Any tips (already did hard reset twice).
With more research, the touch screen works but only when pressed very tightly at the point shown in figure (See red circle). Is there any solution to this ?
Will this get fixed if Change LCD ? Or can it be fixed by tightening some screws ?
My friends G1 is unresponsive whenever the screen is closed, but seems to work when sliding it open. The funny thing is, while the device doesn't perform any actions when the screen is closed, it still seems to be responding to touch. When the screen is opened again, your touched actions will "catch up" and the phone responds. This happens from recovery mode as well as in Android.
Can anyone help?
Anyone? Please?

The phone is in standby/sleep mode while screen is off, so you cant use the touch screen. You must double tap Menu to get to the home screen.While in recovery mode you cant use the touch screen cause you have to use the hardware buttons or the trackball. Im guessing you were unaware that the phone goes into sleep mode. When you slide the KB the phone wakes from sleep mode and allows you to use it.You only have to slide it when you need it not just to do it randomly.
No no, sorry if I worded it incorrectly. The screen is on and it is frozen when the slider is closed. Once you open the keyboard, everything works fine. As soon as you slide it in, the screen freezes on its current display and stops updating.

What rom are you using?
If it is a hero rom then it doesnt work while in landscape mode so you cant open the KB while on home.
Its a 2.1 ROM by Kingx
The screen behaves the same in and out of android though...such as in the recovery (JFv1.4) console. If the screen is closed, the screen "freezes", but the frozen picture is still displayed. If you slide the screen ouţand expose the keyboard, it works fine. The phone otherwise operates normally, as does the standby mode.

You need to upgrade your recovery though

Try wiping and reinstall the rom and wipe everything.Also you need a task manager cause you might have a billion apps open.
I'll try it on his phone when I get off work. Thanks for the recovery link. Do you prefer this over JF?

JF is super old and lacks many features from Amon_Ra. But it's based off of Cyan 1.4 recovery. It makes a lot of things easier like partitioning,wiping,backup,restoring roms.
Alright,
Home now with his phone. I swapped JF's recovery with RA. The issue still exists, and I'm wondering if it's hardware related...
This is frustrating. I don't know if I can fix it for him...
The problem seems to have gotten worse on its own. If the screen is closed at all, the screen will go black with a slight image shown with what seems to be an unworking backlight. However, upon sliding the keyboard open again, the backlight does not return until the device is rebooted while leaving the keyboard open.
Edit:
The backlight seems to come on sometimes when you slide the screen open...

You might wanna wipe and install another rom to see if the problem stays.There might be a hardware problem with your phone.
I've wiped and tried a couple of other ROMs but the issue persists. If it's a hardware issue, is there anything I can try to fix it?

It could be the ribbon that connects to the display.If you can find the assembly guide you could replace the broken or loose piece.But i'm not 100% on which part of the display needs to be replaced.You could ask someone at T-Mobile or at a electronics store what the problem is.HTC offers a free 2yr warranty so you might be able to get a replacement.
Bumping this to see if this was ever resolved. Having the same issue, and considering replacing it brand new, but wanted to know what exactly needs to be replaced so I can order it.
