My touchscreen won't allow any input. I tried hard reset, reflashing ROM and radio - nothing helps so far. Now it's stuck on the 'tap the screen to setup your device' on the initial setup screen. The buttons work, slide works, but touching the screen won't. Any ideas? I saw the posts about frozen screens, but I don't think this is it.

Maybe its a loose connection?
Uh - is there a way to tighten it??? ;-)
Any ideas? If the screen is hosed - any suggestions as to who could repair it?
Bump? How about difficulty in replacing the screen on these?

just did mine, it's not TOO bad.. just 4 screws and a lot of careful prying but it's definately doable. There is a how to somewhere on here. If I were you I'd try the tool that lets you skip the screen setup and see if your touch screen works otherwise... strange thing is when I try to align my screen right now it freezes my phone on the "align screen" screen... so hopefully that's what is happening to you and you dont need a new screen. so yeah look for the align screen skip and see if it works.
Thanks for the info - I'll look around for the skip alignment tool. I assume the screws were those outer four teeny tiny torx screws?
OK - Dude - how crazy is that... it just started working again. I just kept hitting around on the screen by forcing it to alignment and it's now working. What gives? I saw a post about magnetization screwing up alignment, but this is kind of crazy. It works if I push the screen part of the phone 'south' and then I can tap and get the alignment to complete. Loose connection somewhere, I'll check out those guides to figure out if the ribbon is tight or not.

glad to hear you've got it working and saved yourself a headache... you might want to try sliding it open and giving it a squeeze below the screen but above the buttons... that's where the screen attaches to the board... give it a try.
OK - more of a 'tard moment for me - the screen protector was jamming against the screen. I figured that out after I had the whole back off and pried open to look internally to see what was going on and then noticed the screen was working fine with the back off.... oh geeze, time for a stiff drink. Thanks for the suggestions - you guys are cheap therapy bahahahahhaaaa!!!
Look out for dust particles
Glad you found out what was wrong. I would like to add that in general, if a touch screen is unresponsive, examine the device for dust particles stuck between the plastic and the touchscreen. It will be understood as a tap by the touchscreen, thereby rendering your own tabs unrecognized. I've tried that 2 times now.
I had a similar problem with my touchscreen. Sometimes it doesn't recognize my touch with a finger or stylus. I have to keep pushing the same spot for it to register the touch.
Now I took a needle and cleaned the space between plastic and touchscreen. For now it seems that it helped. Lets see how it works for now on.
Thanks.
ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
at leats you admint the retardness
D'oh.. the problem stays. Do I have to open the whole machine, and clean it that way, or can the problem be in the software?
I think, that after a soft reset the screen works properly, but after a little while it overlooks some of my taps.
What SPL are you running? Are you experiencing the 'screen freezes'?
"XDA-Developers HTC Kaiser HardSPL CID Unlocker v1.0" says in the readme.txt file. Does 'screen freezes' mean that I can't do nothing with the screen, or what? What is the SPL's job in the PPC, I thought it was needed only for the OS flashing.
OK, now I know what you mean with screen freeze. It sure does freese. So the problem is not in the touchscreen, but in somewhere else? The whole phone freezes in time to time.
what spl are you running?
OK, I suppose that was a tip. Thanks for the tip. I upgraded my SPL from 1.0 Olipof to HardSPL 3.56.
Everything started going very smoothly for now. Lets see how it keeps being smooth after couple days of using.
Hello, I've had my diamond about a week, looked after it, no physical damage to it as far as i noticed...
but just been browsing and notice a small line about 1cm long across the screen only visible on light background, rainbow coloured. would this be a scratch underneath the screen? i dont feel any roughness on the outer screen. how would this happen, any solutions? cheers.

Same here...
Thats a fault with the screen, I work for a big TV company and that is the most common fault we see in our service centre! is it a green line? if so then its probably some dust on an internal connector, According to our engineers its easy to fix but invoves taking the whole screen off!
(this is how it works with TV's im pretty sure its the same with a phone screen!)
That's funny, I recently noticed the exact same kind of scratch on mine.
I can only tell with a white background though...
That happened to me aswell. Just do a soft reset, it worked for me .

We're not talking about the same thing here.
In my case, it's clearly a scratch considering I can see it with the device turned OFF under the right lighting conditions (and at a certain angle).
I can't tell if it's the screen protection or the actual screen that's damaged though and I don't really care to try to find out
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.
Anybody have this problem with the Screen:
Before doing HARD SPL, my X1 have a great screen, it's all dark when open a black picture. But after HARD SPL, my screen show some brighter pixels at the corners and another at the middle. These brighter pixels locate exactly the same at the colours of BOOTLOADER screen.
I report this problem because I have 2 X1 and after HARD SPL, both of them have the same screen trouble.
I don't know where the problem begins. Does anyone have the same? How to fix it?
No issue on my side - I'm using 0.72Olinex.
mine is also the same after i've hard reset a few times....when booting the upper left n right corner of the screen seems fader than the centre...
Well, when I do get these issues, a soft reset solved it for me.
No problems here. I'm using 0.72Olinex

Mine too have some brighter pixels in the corners (most brighter in top right corner). I don't know if this is a issue of Xperia because I've hard SPL my phone after 10 minutes I've got it.
Cheers!
Just do a software reset. Sometimes my screen flickers like crazy, a reset solved it.
Sooo, some users have this problem but no solution...trying to reset my X1

For me it doesn't work. This is how always the screen appear, not after a while. Since I've hard SPL my phone I've hard reseted and soft reseted the phone for many many times.

Flash back Stock SPL but the screen is still being this issue.
I've actually seen this issue with many TFT screens. They all look great in the beginning but after some use you notice the brighter colors around the edges. I don't think SPL affects this.
But that's just my experience/view on this.
i had allways brighter corners of my display... since i put my xperia out from the box... and i notice it only when screen is all black (movie begining, boot etc.)
same problem
same problem here.......i have top left and right corners more bright then rest of the screen......this problem is from the date i brought it and unboxed it..
so i want to know whether it is a hardware screen problem or software problem...
even i have done hardware reset as well as updated the firm ware by SEUS
since my phone is still under warranty...so i would like to know whether i should get the screen replaced or keep it as it is..
please reply asap!!!
Its not a fault of the screen, and its not a fault in the software its called backlight bleed. Most tft's have it some way or another.
Its because of the way a tft screen is lit, just google it.

I don't think it will be covered by warranty, its just a perk of the technology. You can try though, let us know how you get on
I take extremely good care of my phone and one day, this thin white line horizontally ran across the screen. It bothered me but all the touch functions and screen sensitivity were in tact so I left it for a few days. When I would turn it on the bottom half of the screen would be white but I could get it to go away by touching the top half and I could touch anything under the white block too. But now I can't even do that, it does some weird flash and won't let me look at my phone at all. When the white line appeared at first I did a factory reset etc. But it didn't help. I don't know what happened to it, the screen doesn't have one crack or scratch either. So my question is what the heck is wrong with it? and if I were to replace what is wrong what would that be (screen, lcd, touch digitizer) or something I didn't list? please help!!
