Yesterday when i take my milestone out of my pocket I noticed that the Settings touch button(second from left) wasn't working, every other "bar" button was working fine, except that one. Then I noticed there's a vertical line, that goes from the Setting button to the top of the phone that doesn't work. It simply stopped working... Some1 Help me pliz. It' s a Software or Hardware problem, and if it's a Software problem this thing will solve my problem??

same with my phone, may be digitizer was broken
Are u using a custom Rom or the Original ? My touchscreen had a similar issue, and reflashing the ROM solved it. It took 2 flashes, but the issue is gone.
Dont know if yours is the same, but if the issue still remains, atleast it can confirmed that its a hardware issue and not a software one.

I have used CM6 on my phone, but when i got this issue, i made my phone back to 2.1. The problem is still standing.
uh oh. Looks like a Hardware issue then. U still might wanna take to the store and get it verified. Is it still under warranty ? Any possibility of an exchange ?

This may solve my problem??
Havent seen any such issues.. Thanks god..
it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..
I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..
is it really true ?
please share this problem,,
thanks,,

Hi all!
I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!
I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!
Regards
Lucas

I have had good success with a combo of rice (inside a ziplock bag) to absorb humidity and/or a toaster over at the lowest bake setting.
Worked on MANY electronic devices over the years.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !
If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task But if you take your time it's ok !
ive the same problem, and i believe that's because of moisture. because every time when its raining except the problem with right side of screen im not even able to use the phone touch screen doesn't work at all and the phone just does something by itself! this issue started with small vertical bar from right side of screen and it growing everyday now im not able to use right side of screen till home button.
i want to know do i have to replace touchscreen or i can fix it with something to absorb humidity?
thanks in advance
Hi, a person offered me an HTC One factory unlocked, but he told me that he attempted to update and after that the Home and Back buttons stopped working and starting from the bottom of the touchscreen up to 2cm don't work either. I don't know this guy, so i don't trust him, do you say it's a software problem? Or maybe relationed with harware problem or cause of a drop? Thanks!

I know you said "might", but are you shure it's a Software problem? If I would buy it, I would at first S-OFF then download the corresponding RUU and run it, it should fix it, thanks
It doesn't matter if I have stockrom or custom (as we speak iHackers stockrom 1.1) the touch drives me crazy.. For an example when I surf on the Web and want to scroll down it works time to time then suddenly when I press my finger on screen it locks on that spot and start zooming page instead.
Exact same problem with the Facebook app.. Some setting? Would really like to disable it. If it's possible.

There's already a thread dedicated to the touch issues if you search a bit. In my opinion it's a hardware issue. I think it has something to do with a short somewhere between the case and screen.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47791462
There is no need for forum members to start a new thread about the same issue every day. You could have posted your question in any of these 4 threads that discuss the exact same issue.

or

And to answer your question, it isn't a setting and it isn't related to any specific apps. It's a widspread issue that affects a lot of Z1's and while there are many suspicions, there isn't any confirmation whether it's a hardware or software problem. A Sony rep called Rickard has posted about a fix that is coming in the next software update here but it remains to be seen if that fix actually works.
Right now the best advice we can give you is to take your Z1 to the place you purchased it from and ask them to get it repaired or replace it with a new one under warranty.

Welocome aboard with the Touch Screen Issues. (just kidding, I know its not happy time)
BTW, return your phone to the Store where you bought it to repair or replace via warranty. It's 100% faulty device.

Dude have you seen the latest leak of Sirius in XB? Maybe what the sony rep is saying a fix will come is that they will port the glove mode to the z1

I didn't. Do you have the link? I think they are aware now of this problem and they try to fix it, I hope so, but for the solution we still waiting.
Mine did the same thing, I tried rebooting it and the problem went away for a day or so, so now I use an auto reboot to reboot every morning at 3am. Done this for three weeks now and the problem has vanished.

Maybe on 4.2 you didn't know how to reproduce it but if you want to know my touch screen get worse after upgrade to .290 so you are not the only one.

It's the same. Touch screen do not recognize the movement of the finger but it do like you will just touch it one time, touch screen problem. Had problem even on scrolling pages.

correct, also when long pressing you can see that the screen fails to recognize the touch after a few seconds. really annoying when playing games.
BTW @eclyptos did you got your phone back?

Sure, when mine Z1 come back or I will find something I will spread all over the xda!
It also happens when I'm not in a range of 3G connection. I though that there is a mistake in rom but it does in every single rom i tried. Should I try it in the Stock rom or what ?
Symptoms are...my phone decide to click on whatever in middle row of a screen or it holds a specific place of a screen and sometimes it becomes uncontrollable (I have a fight of clicking f. eg. The phone taps on Calc when I'm trying to open Settings and it opens calc.)

I never had such a problem with my Ace. I have pretty much tried all the roms here. Can you check this with a stock rom? If you are still experiencing this problem even in the stock rom, then it must a hardware problem. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Yeah I will try in a few days...I wonder that it could be hardware problem because I changed a digitizer two months ago and I could damage something
Same problem is there on my friend's Micromax A45 on stock firmware(only while charging)

Well, where did he bought the phone ? From second-hand (I mean from another user) or brand-new from a shop ? He could try fix it on his own but I don't recommend it with non-popular brands they are difficult to repair (I know I had some chinese phones) or try his luck at service center or if he still has a warranty he could reclaim it.

Phone was brand new & this issue happens rarely, not always...so he's ok with it.
Does anyone alse have problem with the camera?
The imagine in my screen never stops from moving, and if I take a look at the back sensor I can clearly see that it's moving. I think that this is the OIS not working properly.
Here's a video recorderd from my Nexus 6:

Did you try an hard reset?
I'm quite sure it's an hardware problem but right now I can't reset my phone.
Ya, did a factory reset, no change here.
