hey guys
have been a reader more than a poster on this awesome site..
but i have run into some trouble :/
within the past week, everytime my phone gets slightly hot, the screen alignment goes totally out.. like really out..
for example i manage to open the notes app..
if i tap the extreme left side, the draw tool will draw in either the center, or even far right.. its extremely frustrating.
Happens mostly after a phone call, using gps, or plugging phone into usb/charging..
im using Panosha's 2.2 full
Radio .05
I have tried loading the original HTC rom that came with the phone... no difference..
any help would be greatly appreciated
oh, and i do re-align... 10-15 times a day..
when the phone is cool, it runs like a dream

When you have the same probs with the htc original rom, then it has nothing to do with a cooked roms :-(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhQIyqnTkS4&feature=user
if anyone may have a solution.. please let me know asap.. as i will try taking it in on saturday
thanks guys
damn, mine does the same from time to time!
does anybody have a solution?
did a replacement fix the problem?
unfortunately i havnt had a chance to take it in yet, but i have logged the problem with my service provider..
the problem occurs alot more when i used panosha's rom/s
with the default (and now alphazero) the problem seems less frequent, but definitely still happens..
happened badly yesterday when i used gps to get my girlfriend to a casting, but switched on car A/C and after 5 minutes it was cool again *shrug*
its really annoying though
will let u know when i finally get to taking it in, unless u get there first
Hi there, I have the exactly problem what you had. Whenever the machine is hot, it becomes mad. Any solution could be reslove the problem?
It really sounds like a hardware issue... When you return the phone to the store please flash back to the original stock rom (for warranty purposes )
same problem
i am getting he same alignment problem.i do it many times a day but still tapping somewhere on screen taps the other way.very difficult to dial phone numbers

i dont think its an hardware issue,as after i align it works fine for few hours and then i have to align again to make the taps work acurately.........i have heard there is a cab file for it.if any one can post it here.........................or make a cab file so that clicking it makes the alignment as it was default with the new phone
It is a hardware issue. the screen somehow (usually when carried in front pants pocket) will get pressed and SHIFTED. Then screen pushes against the side-cover and this fools the touch-sensitivity of the screen. Try yourself - try to shift screen to one or other side, and directly after it will be better. it's still a service matter though. Send it for repair.
This is a known issue. You need to exchange the unit for a new one.
hey guys...
so late last year i took the phone in and it spent 3 weeks at leaf (HTC distributer here is south africa)
i got the phone back, turned it on in the store.. and guess what... still screwed..
i threw my toys to say the least and got a brand new phone..
the new phone was 110% up until 2 weeks ago..
it started doing the same damn thing (to a lesser extent)
i have found that its a connection problem..
the touch pad is very all over the place if used normally (so basically its unusable)
but if i hold down the top left of the phone(pushing down just above the start menu) with my left hand and use my fingers on my right.. the phone works perfectly again..
does anyone know how to fix this?
its so frustrating, especially knowing im going to be without it for 3 weeks or more again
hmmm ...
i heard that the radio-part is for managing the curcuits.
try an other rom.
but i cant give garanty, i hard it only.
PLLEASE WOULD SOMEONE HELP ME....
its been a few days ago that my screen was acting a lil weird...
First i would press on the left side of the screen but it would react on the right...
Example i would press on the start menu and it would open the sorta task manager....another example i was press on phone (left softkey) and it would go into program (right key)
and now i thought it was the rom so i got a new rom and now i cant get pass the align screen, and i have tried with 4 different roms now and still the same problem...
PLEASE HELP I LOVE THE DIAMOND I CANT AFFORD TO LOOSE IT
Thank YOU!!!

It's not software's problem, it's more hardware problem, exactlier touch screen problem, for this kind problem we can't do anything, just to send phone to repairing service, and to hope , problem will'not repeat, but from my expirience, just after 10-15 days of using, touch screen start to not responding, i scarried all htc diamonds after some period, became same, and i think this is generally problem of htc diamond 1st generation, maybe for htc diamond 2 , htc company solved this "strange" and big problem, cause this situation means, give money for nothing and problems!
Giving 2 years warranty is ****, if phone will start 3rd year of using with same problem, maybe is better to give 5 years of warrant , cause this problem
I don't know if you've fixed this but i had this very problem and it turned out if you wiped the screen over once then it would be okay.. strange i know but theres quick fix that worked for me.
I had the same problem, I send it to service and tey changed the display
I've same problem, the screen only works well when phone is cold, after warms up it shows the same sintoms
Got the same problem here - when the phone is cold its 99% ok, when it gets warm (or even hot due CPU heavy to flash websites), it starts with this touch screen "dance" (and empties the battery in maybe 2 hours by not going into sleep mode).
But I found out that somehow giving the lower screen border a "massage" does help. I guess there is some screen to board connection behind, which does not get 100% contact when the device is warm/hot.
last tuesday diamond came back from service with new screen....today the same problem

Well i tried to make some pressure but same problem. I can disassemble the phone and see if something is not in place, and also use some contact spray to improve connection. Did someone try something like that?
i had the same problem as you due to water damage from using it after a shower. sent it off for warranty and they sent me a refurbished one. sending it off again because it had bad whites and a dodgy centre button.
to bypass the screen alignment screen create a file called "welcome.not" and put it in the root directory of the phone. not in the internal storage, you must put it in the device storage.

Hi There,
Well my last TyTn II problem was solved, by a reboot. but sadly its doing other strange things.
Yesterday, as i was using it as i always do, the phone powered off just before i sent a text message. i turned it back on and everything seemed fine. A few hours later i went to use it and the touch screen was unresponsive. Turning the phone off, taking the battery out for a minute or two, and then turning it back on seemed to fix it. Ive also hard reset it and formatted the memory. The touch screen has been working on and off and now it has stopped responding again.
Also, something which has just started happening in the last hour. The Phone when i slide it, has a brief period where the phones screen turns off completely, no backlight or colour on the screen. This occours just after the screen slides past the spacebar and turns back on past the second line of letters (ASDF etc) on the keyboard the directional pad buttons stay lit the entire time.
Has anyone had similar problems? the phone is about 15 months old now, and i really dont want to have to send it to HTC or my mobile carrier.
And if it makes any difference, its the Stock 6.1 ROM from the HTC site for Optus Australia. Not unlocked or hacked in any way.
Thankyou very much for any help you can give me

Im sorry if i waffled on a little... but i said that.
Something strange that Ive noticed. the touch screen does work every now and again, until i slide it. Im not sure what triggers that, but it does it sometimes when i leave it be and come back to it, and others it doesn't.

Oooops, missed that part in your original post.
Well the problem has seemed to get worse now, with the notification lights displaying incorrectly, and the center d-pad button not responding. So ive contacted my Service provider for a warranty repair
good thing i have extended warranty 15 months it has been, maybe its time for an upgrade...
It's probably the ribbon cable that connects the two halves of the phone -- either broken or unseated.
Hey
I am currently running 2.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S the only thing ive done to it is root it, so its running the normal firmware and I'm waiting till the end of september ti get the official 2.2 before I look at flashing something custom onto it, anyway...
I have an odd problem with the phone where the touchscreen part of the phone will become unresponsive for no real reason, sometimes playing a game, sometimes just sending a text or browsing the market. My actuall hard buttons like the homescreen or volume control still work during this and the only way to make my phone un-freeze is to press my power button once to turn the screen blank, then press it again and slide to unlock the phone, then it works fine.
No clue how to fix this... anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance..
Sounds like hardware issue. Get it fixed
Thanks for the response (know it was a while ago)
I've had the phone 2 months now in a contract with T-Mobile UK through Carphone Warehouse... Does anyone know what my return rights are? Talking to them later just want to know where I stand when asking for a replacement.
Thanks

hello, i have same issue. Did you fix this problem?
Thanks
This comes really long after. But did anyone find out the reason for this?
I've got an Galaxy S that works fine most of the time. But from time to time the screen will become unresponsive. If I press power button to lock the screen and unlock it again, it goes away. So it seems that it is a software problem.
Another peculiarity is that the keys on the Samsung keyboard are very inaccurate to respond to touch from time to time. Sometimes it is just impossible to hit a letter in the mid row and pressing "s" can put "wz" on the screen.
I was thinking to just put CM on it anyway. But it will void the guarantee in case it is a hardware problem. So I want to make sure that it is software related.
Did anyone manage to fix this either by returning the phone or removing TouchWiz. I am not living in the same country as I bought the phone. So returning it for a checkup will take some effort.
For what ever it is worth
I took the phone to an unofficial service center that flashed the phone with a brand new Android 2.3.3 (the phone came with 2.3.5). A downgrade, which normally isn't a very good deal. But the dead areas on the screen are gone. The phone is much more responsive and the keyboard is not acting funny anymore.
So... if you are experiencing the same. Try getting rid of the TouchWiz before you start taking the phone apart.
Good luck!
I get it occasionally but I've grown to live with it, mine tends to be the kernel recently flashed devils for 4.0.3 but after fiddling with volts mine stops.

My phone's screen just went black suddenly while i was using the phone last night. Nothing i do will wake the screen up, i tried rebooting by holding the power button, tried power+volume down also to boot into recovery .. no response. However the phone seems to be functioning as i can hear the screen lock sound. I think im stuck on the pin screen (the one to pass the boot-up-encryption). theres some vibration and feedback when i randomly press on the screen too.
The device is running Stock 6.0.1 , unrooted , stock kernel. Has this ever happened to anyone else ? could it be a software issue ?
I believe the LCD panel just went dead ..
Thanks!
Have you hooked it up to a computer and tried to see if it's recognised by ADB?

I had a nexus that had a faulty screen and randomly shut off or something half the screen will glitch out and one day it just stopped working but I could hear the lockscreen sounds. Your best bet would be to send it in for service maybe its a loose connecting or a hardware issue. When mine started acting up it was a loose connecting so if I hit the phone with my hand it would go back to normal and then it stopped working. Its a common issue if you do a google search many people have encountered this
That sounds to me like a return-under-warranty job. If you were in the UK you could quote the Sale of Goods Act, which specifies that an item must be of suitable quality and last a reasonable amount of time, but in my case when I returned my faulty N5 to Google after 18 months they were as good as gold, didn't quibble, simply replaced it with a refurbished one which appeared to me to be indistinguishable from brand new.
Since by definition your phone must be very close to its warranty period, depending on when you got it, I'd start with that. This is the link I used from the UK - maybe different if you're elsewhere, but you should find a link called "Get a call from a hardware specialist":

That makes sense. could be just a loose connector between the LCD panel and the MoBo ..
Problem is i live in Jordan and I got the phone from Dubai. Its still under warranty of the seller (Souq.com ; an online store .. kind of like Amazon of the middle east ), So i have to send my phone to Dubai to fix it. Now i could just go to a local phone repair shop and ask the guy to check the connectors, but im afraid that would void the warranty and not solve the problem ;( .

I submitted the form , although i live in Jordan which has no presence of Google whatsoever but what the heck !
thanks all for your suggestions.
Google is supposedly a global company...
Let us know how it goes, and good luck.
Well, if you figure out that it is just the screen, you can use this program for basic control with a lot of latency
