It have happened to me 3 times already, and I've only had my Diamond for 3 weeks...
When I leave my device charging over night, in the morning the display looks completely scrambled / distorted and the only thing I can do is a restart... Luckily it boots up normal again.
Am I the only one with this issue??
Btw... I've handled my phone with care & not ever dropped it or had it near any moisture, I guess this might be a harware issue!?
Dun worry owziee....
I having the same problem too.........
nothing but a white static/scrambled screen, right? Happens many time to me...the only thing i can do is re-insert the battery (holding the power button to restart doesnt work).
what about soft reset button ?
Sof reset fixes it. I think that the 3D chip is overheated, because it happens when I play sensory overload (a 3d game) too.
But strangely not when I play Call of Duty 2...?
Alteast we could get it back to normal with a soft-reset, kaiser had similar problem where only a hard-reset was possible after the same situations i guess..
Regards,
Carty..
i had a similar situation after i used my device to send a text, turned the screen off then turned it back on immediately, i had some strange screen with all different coloured pixels and it looked broke as hell, but i merely just pressed the power button on and off and it was fixed again :S
Yes i have the same problem and have no idea what is causing it. The most frustrating thing is when it happens my alarm does not go of... I would realy like a fix for this.
phew! It has happened once with me, and frankly it scared me a bit. Removed the battery and then it was Ok again. Weird behaviour. I don't think it has anything to do with heat tho.
I had the same issue too and I had to perform a soft reset fer it to work but after a week the touch screen of mine stopped workin no idea why i had to give to the service center fer repairs they told me it wud take a week to repair it rite now I am without a diamond
Something like the screen shots below?
I've had this problem for quite a while. If you disable Touchflo3d, you will not have this problem at all. This issue only concerns the 3d gpu.
I've since updated to v1.93 Olinex SPL and its more stable now, thou I still get it once a while, especially after a long period of not touching the phone (e.g. when sleeping).
Quite a few times during the last week, my Diamond's touch screen has stopped responding for no apparent reason. The hardware buttons work just fine, but the screen gets me nowhere. It works fine after a soft reset, but I've had to soft reset it several times some days, which is seriously annoying.
Is this a familiar problem for anyone? If it is, does anyone know of a solution? I tried searching around the forum, but couldn't find anyone with a similar problem..
Hello,
I'm not really sure if anyone encountered this before..
Suddenly today in the morning, I notice my Milestone's touchscreen is acting up.
I can't reach the menu button at the bottom of the screen. It always chooses Phone or Web Browser button instead :/
I use search to get to Dev Tools and Pointer Locations, and I realize there's a segment, about 1 third of the touchscreen, in the middle, unresponsive to touch.
I tried cleaning the screen, clearing cache, rebooting, it made it work temporarily, but then it returned again. I changed to stock 2.1 SBF, still no change. And now, its stuck in this state, I can't get it to work even temporarily..
I really dont want to send it to Customer Service, is there anyway to solve this?
Thanks!

Same with me, i can't reach from menu in a bottom side to upper side, maybe 10mm dead space + 7mm right side from bottom side to upper side.
Please help me!!
Sorry my english is not good
It happen to me last 2 weeks while helping out a friend's Milestone. After i flashed a kernel, the whole screen is not working. Trying to flash back to stock ROM,custom ROM,etc but still the same.
By accident i press and hold both BACK key(the bottom left) and SEARCH key( bottom right) and ON the phone. I let go of the the two,BACK and SEARCH key after the phone is completely ON. To my surprise, it works!!! Until now the phone has no problem with the touchscreen.
I hope you guys can try this out or is it an coincidence,I don't know..

thanks but no fix it for my phone
I had the same problem sometime last year, which I eventually fixed by clearing cache partition and rebooting a bunch of times.
Unfortunately, the problem re-appeared today. So far, rebooting and clearing cache hasn't worked.
By any chance, have any of you installed the WiiMote Controller App? I was convinced that was what was doing it to my phone. (maybe not, as I never re-installed it though)
I'm about to flash the sbf file, but as Lesiroth said, that might not work
i believe u r having GHOST TOUCHSCREEN syndrome
my touchscreen sometime do not response to my touch
it just went berserk!
the notification bar keep sliding up and down
if im in the menu, it goes up and down too!
sometime i cant unlock the screen bcos it do not respon
however, some chinese users found that this could be due to ripped/ torn ribbon
just google it
it is widely reported too!
I just want to say that I have fixed my Droid's touchscreen problem (or maybe it will re-appear in another six months).
Anyway, I just set the screen brightness to max and screen timeout to 30min and let the battery drain. I took the battery out for a second and then charged the phone with the USB that came with the phone over the wall socket.
I think the USB wire is the culprit (I was using a BB one for a while).

my problem seemed to be disappeared after i soft reset n use stock rom
i tot launcher pro was the culprit but it is not
so i re-install LP n use for 1 day
d only problem i had was when i went for a jog, i tucked it on my waist (no in the pocket).
after that the screen stop working at all, i have to reboot by taking the battery a few time.
after 30 min or more, the problem was gone.
tis could be due to the stress applied to the screen when im joggin (as it it as "touched" while im jogging).
however, i removed beautiful widget n its addon too, dat could the source of the problem as well.
SOLUTION: soft reset, use stock rom / launcher for 1 day
if it still persist, it could a hardware problem

I am glad that you solved your problem. Unfortuntely the past week or so has been a really busy time for me, I could not focus on this problem. I will try your solution, although I still think it is a broken digitizer on my part.
maybe the problem is the digitizer..
try to change rom or wipe it first..
if the problem still persist i think its the digitizer..
use only the original charger..
OMFG that worked on my phone!!!

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
I've had this problem for a while now where after a bit (haven't kept track of how long yet) the soft keys don't light up with the screen. This isn't so bad in the day time but when I'm in a dark area it's a bit difficult to use the keys. I've tried reflashing my ROM, tried different ROMs, even went back to stock but I still have the same problem. The only way to get them to light up again is by changing the brightness. Anyone know what the hell is going on?
NOTE: I replaced the screen myself but I'm thinking this is a software issue more than anything since the keys do work on a few or more unlocks before they stop.
If you're tried changing ROMs (software) and the problem persists, what makes you think it's not something else (hardware)?
Has anyone had issues with their Z3 compact screen becoming unresponsive to touches? This happened to me last night even after hard shutdown via power button + volume up key.
My phone is encrypted so after restarting, I was stuck at the code unlock screen but the touch screen was completely unresponsive. After a few more hard shutdowns, a few hours off and alot of cursing, the touch screen finally started working again as if nothing was wrong.
Any ideas guys? I don't want to send this phone in if this was a one time thing, but I'm afraid it won't be the only time...
I guess I'm the only case of this happening?

It can occur for lots of reasons
This can be only software lag instead of touch panel problem.
and even 3rd party app can freeze your phone like this.
anyway the possible solution and way to understand if it s software or hardware problem is to repair firmware by PC companion
:good:

The reason I don't think its software related is because after the reboot my phone goes into the device encryption unlock menu right away. This menu theoretically should have little to no software loaded at this point, yet it still didn't response to touch. Now, I did recently downgrade from the latest UK ROM to the next available U.S. ROM. Not sure if that may have affected anything...
No more problems yet though...

Was the phone wet? Water can mess with the capacitive screen but shouldn't still be a factor after drying it with a rag. I'm assuming you realized this already, but doesn't hurt to double check.

Screen is not the issue… its the system

My Z3 do this too.. i dont know what to do
Same here. Happend 5 minutes ago and since no response from the phone -.-"
I hope it settles itself again.
Edit:
Now it works again. Strange behavior
I just returned my Z3c because of a touch screen malfunction. But in my case, it wasn't unresponsive, it just went nuts. It located taps at totally different spots from where I was touching, so typing, scrolling, etc. just was impossible. Luckily, this state only lasted for a couple of seconds up to a minute max, but occurred several times a day. Phone now exchanged for the "big" Z3 (due to arrive tomorrow), hope it hasn't the same issues.
I have found the reason my phone was unresponsive. I disabled some apps through adb, one of them seems to have caused the issue (dunno which though).
So I just restored the phone using the pc companion and since then no unresponsive touch screen.

Z3 Compact top half of touch screen not working
The top half of the screen of my Z3 Compact doesn't register any touches anymore. The bottom half is OK.
The phone wasn't dropped or anything. I did a repair with PC Companion and nothing, still the same....
Sigh!
hello, well the same thing is happened to me but my phon is z3 dual, this happened just before hour ago
Any solutions ..
I've just bought it about 2 weeks ago
I have the same problem, the touch is not responding and I can't use the phone since yesterday.
did reset by buttons and also by that yellow reset button and still nothing, it powers on but I am stuck when it asks me to enter the PIN code, because the touch is not working.
Anyone got a solution for that?
Which apps you have disabled on adb and say cause that issue?
Same trouble over here. Experimenting this unresponsive touch panel since today, several hours without working at all. I just blocked some boatware apps, but this should not affect touch panel, right?
Just restored the whole phone using official from Sony PC Companion software. It remains the same trouble with touch panel.
Today, in house, we put the phone under tap water just a blink. Do you think this could have damaged the device, though is water resistant? Do you know where are the humidity sensors, that could have change? Thank you for helping!
