This stuff is making me nervous.
Recently I've started to experience a kinda strange bug. Sometimes, screen calibration goes nuts. When I click on the right part of the screen, the click actually goes to the left part edge. But if I scroll up/down on the right part - everything is ok.
At the beginning this bug appeared rarely and only till device is turned off/on. But for last few days it's almost impossible to use it. Bug appears a lot and doesn't go away even after soft reset.
So far I've experienced this bug in Opera and in TouchFlow shell.
Is this a hardware problem? firmware?

I bought my HTC tytn II about a week ago and I am having a problem with the touch screen. Sometimes when I touch for example on the start or on the ok button with the stylus it doesn’t respond from the first time and I must touch again to respond. I have align the screen so that’s not the problem because most of the time it works ok. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks.
Sometimes the corners just need a firmer press where the digitizer layer is held more firmly. So you would need to check whether yours really needs two presses or just a firmer one.

The problem is not just the corners but the whole screen. Sometimes it just doesn’t respond from the first touch.
After further usage of the device I think it’s not the touch screen that has the problem because when it’s not responding it freezes for about 2-4 sec. and then it’s normal again. Is anyone experiencing this strange behavior? What can it be wrong it drives me crazy! Can please someone help?
My ATT Tilt is doing the same thing. Right now im running the stock ATT Rom with the ATT autoload crap disabled after a clean hard reset.
I notice that when my touch screen stops responding so do the soft keys and function buttons. The device appears to hang-up and **** the bed every once in a while. Its often enough to also drive me crazy as well.
I've been using my HTC Diamond for about 2 weeks now.
Bought it from www.plemix.com and it came unlocked , and I had no trouble at all using it and installing the HardSPL's / updating ROM (Dutty's Diamond v1.6) .
Today I ran the TomTom Navigator 7, and after a while it started to make continuous sound - the default sound when a button is pressed or touchscreen is tapped- , so I did soft reset a few times, didn't solve it, touchscreen was kinda jammed, and I took out the battery. A minute after I put it back, and it worked fine, I took some photos right after, and everything was working fine.
Then two hours later, I took out my phone from pocket to check the time, I see it's halted on the photo screen, and no response at all. So I just turned the phone off by taking out the battery, and just left it off until I came home.
Now the touchscreen is not responding to any taps or clicks, except that it seems that it still detects any sort of tap/click, because the backlight comes on from dim state when I try to tap it.
So it definitely means the touchscreen is not completely dead, but it's just not functional most part.
Hardware buttons works fine, but I'm stuck at the initial "Tap your screen to begin configuring your Windows Mobile" after hard reset. I even updated the ROM to Dutty's Diamond v1.8 just now.
Since I can't do anything and just leave it idle, it goes to [ Align Screen ] page, and still I can't press any cross, since the touchscreen is completely not responding.
Anyone had this screen death problem? Any method of solving it?
---Updated---
Just now the touchscreen worked for 30 seconds, i could actually align the screen, then it showed me the Date/Time setting page, where I could scroll the cities , but then it stopped working again. So i'm still at Date/Screen page...
--Updated--
The touchscreen works for 2 minutes after I do a soft reset / power on&off, or I should say, it works until you press some hardware key on the bottom (volume up/down buttons doesnt affect this).
After I press any of those buttons at the bottom, the touchscreen stops working.
Also, after I turn on the device, enters WM, and runs TouchFLO3D, for the entire time touchscreen works, it's constantly pressing the tasklist dropdown (upper right corner of the screen), making it constantly pop down the task list.
have you tried a hard reset?
Yes, like 3 times. Wiped everything, OS, ROM, NANDFlash.
Also updated the ROM from 1.6 to Dutty's 1.8 ROM. Everythingn works fine except for the Touchscreen.
Right now, when I turn on, the touch screen seems to be pressing all the time at the task manager part of the screen (where the [X] is), its popping up all the time the task list, then after a while, like say, 2 minutes, touchscreen again ceases to work.
Not really promising, but you could try to remove the screen-protector. Perhaps this releases any tension onto the screen.
Thanks. I've thought of that, maybe I'll try later on.
For now i'm suspecting that maybe water went in through, so I've put the phone upside down to maybe take out the water using gravity for 2 days.
It seems like it's working better now, with longer hours of normal functioning..
I'll wait and see one more night... if water is the cause of the problem, it should dry up in say 3-4 days.
It may sound strange, but pit it face down on the carpet and rub it around for a while. Its how I fixed mine. Don't ask me why it works but I had the same thing happen. I think somehow the electrical charge got dissipated from the screen and the static from the carpet recharged it.
Actually your words makes a lot of sense
My Diamond was acting completely alright today, used GPS for 2 hours and called a few people along with many weather updates.
Seems to be working fine now...
But I think what you said is pretty reasonable, since when I rubbed my dead screen , after a few rubs it started to work (2 days ago).
Thanks
yeah this had happened to me about a week ago exactly the same thing I had hardspl mine and updated radio to .05 and then a few days after I had the identical problem. However I took a shortcut and sent the phone back in and requested a replacement claiming it was defective they agreeded and sent a new one however this one already has .05 radio on it so I didn't have to hardspl it. I can't say any of these things would have worked form me as I did not try them byt symptoms are identical. my .02
Hi i saw a couple of days ago that my N1 do something odd when turning the screen to sleep mode, sometimes (not always) some thick and soft colored lines (light green or light red) appear and dissappear VERY quickly in the bottom of the screen... is this a normal behavior? Whut should i check to see if my screen is going to fail?
my screen works perfectly but... i really dont like this behavior
I have seen that too a few times; just don't give it too much importance.
Hey Fran!
I see you are latin american just like me!
If you like, you can ask for me messenger so we can chat about cellphones
Dude, im a little paranoic, does this happens very often to you?
have anyone faced this trouble too?
I just noticed this same thing last night. it happens maybe once every 6 times you turn off the screen. it happens on the bottom part of the screen.
however one observation, this does NOT happen if you are viewing the lock screen and then turn off the screen. it only happens when viewing the homescreen, or web browser, etc.
so because of this fact, it doesn't happen all the time, nor on every screen, so that tells me it might be some type of software glitch or power glitch. I don't think this means our screens are failing.
this is a VERY difficult issue to notice.
Thanks for answering Roger!
Im a little bit uncomfortable with this issue because it makes me think that my phone's screen will stop working any time... i may say that i have noticed that this is happening more often now than before...
I hope im just being paranoic about this!!
Now there is another long topic on freezing, but its basically about 10seconds freeze , then things normal and stuff. Mine is different so I made a new topic.
Have sprint note. On Marshmellow now but happened on Lollipop as well.
The problem is:
After several hours of use, or may even a day, the phone just freezes....partly. Let me explain. Basically if you touch anywhere on the screen, it won't register the touch. If you hit the hard recents button, it'll show recents, but you can't click any program (it doesn't register your touch). When it first happened I thought I needed a new screen, but quickly found out I probably don't: If I hit the nav bar, it will pull down full screen, and if I have it full of notifications, I can click any of the notifications, whether its near the top, middle, or bottom, and it registers the touch and sends me to the app. But then again, at that app, the screen doesn't register. Even if I touch in the same place on the screen where I clicked the notification that sent me to the app. But the nav bar still works. It recognizes the touch, and will pull down full screen, and I can click anywhere on the screen and my touch will register. Also if I hold the power button and the reboot options come up (which on mine has option from top down to bottom, I can click any option on the screen, and it will register my touch. But if I hit the home button, the whole screen is non responsive. So I have a partial freeze. The whole screen doesn't work, but then the whole screen will work when I pull the nav bar down, so im totally confused. I already tried usually differnt launchers, but same thing, after while, screen will be non responsive
If I reboot then everything works fine and normal, so I doubt its a screen issue. Because if its broke its broke. Also tried a hard reset,problem still came back. I guess it may be an app clashing problem but I have over 100 apps it could be any one of them
Has anybody experienced something similar?
I had a buddy give me an LG Lucid3 that had a similar issue... It actually got worse over time and the touchscreen totally stopped working. (He thought) I took it apart and actually the connection was good. Put it back together and just kept rebooting it multiple times in a row. Finally, the touch started to work a little an for some reason I thought to go and download an antivirus program. The phone had 11. Got rid of them and phone has been working fine for a couple weeks now. Idk if that's your problem but I figured I'd share this experience because I've never seen anything like it.

I dont know why, but sometimes my screen will stop responding to touch. I can still use the top and bottom of the screen, but the 90% in between the top and bottom lip of the screen wont respond until i restart the phone. This can happen once a week or three time a day, seemingly at random. Anyone know about this problem?
I had this happen the other day and it really surprised me - exactly where you said as well. The top & bottom worked, but the middle was dead. I did have a little skuzz on the phone, so I spat on it & wiped it off and that brought it back to life. Not sure if that was truly the problem, or if it was just coincidence. Which screen protector are you using?

At the moment i dont have a screen protector on, ive had the problem with and without screen protectors. Its so weird, its like the screen just dies.
Hopefully it's just a background app/service and not a hardware issue. I'd try freezing the snot out of background apps - particularly anything that didn't come pre-packaged with the phone - and go from there. Should this work, enable a handful at a time until you find the culprit. Pretty much anything can lock up an app nowadays, particularly keyboards and the like.
Below is my "final" list of frozen apps on a11 and the phone performs exceptionally. No root & no security broken. This is a preset file for ADB AppControl - I hope this helps.
When you say freezing, do you mean adding to deep sleep or removing with adb?

I mean freezing/disabling via adb. I only remove once I'm completely comfortable with a practiced configuration.
