Hey guys,
I've had my X1i for a year now. No hard falls most falls are on soft surfaces. & Suddenly today morning woke up & the touch screen isn't responding. So I looked up posts, some said turn it off & turn it back along with removing the battery & it should work fine. Tried that, worked for a bit then stopped working again. Also tried soft-reseting & gave the same result. So is there any other method you guys know ? I'm thinking the other type of reseting..forgot what it's called but that'll delete everything so i gotta back things up first. So any solutions? & thanks in advance.
Have you got a screen protector on it? If so, try lifting the edges of it a little.
Nope, no screen protector. Does it have to do with any .cabs i've installed before ? Or they're not related? Is the battery related? Could it cause something like that?
I once run into the following, it may help you too:
after installing an app(from a cab) my screen was allmost non responsive.
Calibration didn't help.
I have "Advannced config" installed, uppon checkin the sensitivity it was waaaaay down, even under default.
Hope it helps for you too =)
i had the same problem to on my proto x1
it completely stopped working and i tried everything (reflash rom, boot android)
but all without luck so i bought a replacement screen
after a while my touch screen started working again but still occasionally fails
i have not yet replaced my touchscreen, i am thinking about a loose connector or something...
btw i was on official r3 fw
your flex cable might have worn out!

Where is that located? Where can I get a new one?

here is one thread about it, there should be others if you search some more than I did
and this would be a means to get a new one (official site, similar price), if it really is the cause and you don't like to tinker
cheers and gl
If your LCD is working, then it could be bad digitizer like mine instead of the ribbon cable. (Well, I use X1 a lot in humid place like bathroom.....). Just pay a few extra to buy the LCD+Digitizer for about ~$30 that will save you a lot headache for just the digitizer alone. There's a thread in X1 accessories forum.

I had a keyboard problem with one of my treo and I tried to cut up the phone to pieces. I pulled all of string cables one for the keyboard and one for the display. Cleaned all and then assembled it. It looks like workink well but the touch screnn doesn't answered. I cut up again and plug in the display cable again. It works now again.
Since then I dont cut up the phone

You know I already disassembled it and assembled it back for few times, but it still not working. Everything looks very nice and clear - like new but...
New screen doesn't solve the problem. I purchased a new touch screen (lcd + digitaizer) - it start working for few minutes, then stop again. I put off the battery an leave it like this for a month. Than I switch it on - it works (I successfully unlock it, passed f..... alignment screen). Now I use it, but touch screen doesn't work!
Please if anybody now what is the real problem, let me now.
I have the same problem. I upgraded my Treo 750 to a new ROM. It worked for a couple of hours and then it doesn't work.
I have read in a different forum that you have to turn down the screen brightness to less than 1/2 and it should work. I tried that and it still craps out.
I am also looking for a new digitizer from ebay. Would this work? Or do I have to purchase the screen and digitizer.
Would a new screen or digitizer work or will it crap out in a hour or so?
Besides getting a new phone what would be the next step for a solution?
I think it is a software problem. With WM5, 6 and 6.1 the touch screen didn't work but on the newish 6.5 version here it works just fine, all the time!
same
am currently having the same problem whaat is d solution pls is it rom WM6.5? who hav solve this problem?
Hey guys, this is my first post, I'm glad to be a part of this community.
3 days ago, while surfing the web, my phone stopped responding. After restarting it, the touch screen stopped working with the phone flipped in landscape mode. In normal mode it was working fine. After one day the touch screen wasn't responding fine even in normal mode, I would have to perform screen alignment a few times a day for it to respond correctly. In addition to that, now the screen won't even change to landscape mode when I flip the phone, it just freezes. I don't have warranty, I have the latest software version from SE installed. Clear storage didn't help. Got any ideas? Do you think it might be a hardware problem or software?
Thank you for reading this!
PS: I've just reinstalled the latest software from SE and still the same

Welcome, bro, but sorry to hear about your problem.
Did you make any tweaks to the registry or anything? If not, I fear this is a hardware problem. You could try installing the X1 softtouch cab in my signature, because that maxes out the screen sensitivity, but I'm not optimistic.
Let us know.
This is definately a hardware problem, if your under warrenty send it in asap, other wise browse this forum 4 other cases
might be ribbon problem
anyway I would second it's hardware related
Thanks allot for the quick answers. After reinstalling the entire software again, I'm also pretty sure it a hardware issue. I'm gonna look into that ribbon thread. If I don't solve anything I guess I'll just have to take it to a service. :|
Hello, sad to hear about ur problem.
There has also occured a similar problem to me, but way more harder problem.
I read about the ribbon thing, and looked into it a bit more. How to open the whole phone and check the ribbon cable, also named flex cable if I am correct.
The cable were cut in half.. At the moment I am trying to find a store of where to buy one, I found a site from Sweden, cause that's where I am from but the price is not that cheap, around 600sek=85 dollars.
Does any1 know a site where I can find a cheaper one?
If not, I guess I have to buy this cable..
Edit:
I found another site, ebay. Way more cheaper than the previous site I gave.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/for-Sony-Eric...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item563a472301
Sorry dont use the link above, out of sale..
Edit:
However, if the problem is the ribbon cable.. Go into ebay and search for Xperia ribbon cable.
You will find way more lower prices.

Yup.
I recently had to replace a cracked lcd (bought off eba) and now the digitizer wont respond. I sent the first back, and the second does the same thing. I have flashed numerous roms, including the factory ones,to no avail. All connections are good and clean. Do I need to change registry settings, or is there someway to "reset" to digitizer?
Thanks in advance.
The only thing that comes to mind is.

Not sure that I follow. I have looked for 3 days at older posts, tried their "solutions", but none worked. Did I miss one? If so, can you help point me in the right direction?
The title of your thread comes up at least every other week.

I had this problem. I did the Align Screen thing and it fixed it... Does the screen light up when you touch it?
The screen lights up fine, and has a good image. The stupid thing just won't respond to touch. I have tried tweaking the sensitivity in the registry, numerous hard and soft resets and at least 4 different cooked roms as well as the stock roms. The phone is hardspl'd to 3.29. I can bypass using the remote tool, but still can't align the digitizer.
Update: After still pouring throught the forums and trying everything I came across, still no luck. I have reflashed the stock rom (Cingular 6.1) and spl (1.93) per instructions found on here. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help! I can't even think of new google terms to try to find a fix. the phone works fine after running the remote alignment tool and bypassing the alignment. All keyboard buttons and softkeys work fine, it just won't respond to screen taps. Mods and seniors, I implore you, if you know the fix, please pm me.
I had the same problem, and I think it was because I removed the soft black liner that is between the screen and the bezel (because I was having a hard time getting the LCD to fit). I replaced the liner with one from another housing and now it works great. Good luck.
Try this, your going to have to take it apart again.
Check the ribbon where it's soldered onto the lcd, place a piece of tape over the exposed solder connections. For some reason mine was making some contact to metal and the touch screen won't work.
I put a piece of tape over it and it worked great. This was on a new replacement lcd as well
Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it did not help. After now a third different replacement, I have pretty much given up.
My Xperia X1 had a fall and the screen glass was broken heavily, so I bought from ebay a cheap replacement screen+digitizer (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300628817380), today I got it, and went ahead and installed it following online guides on the diassembly of the X1, all went ok (the guide did not say how to separare the broken glass from the screen itself, so i went ahead by some force.
But after the assembly, the phone is not accepting any touch input, I am sure I put back all cables and contacts in their correct location, but no touch is working
is the digitizer not a compatible one? how can I be sure of it? I don't want to spend a lot on fixing this phone, it is old and slow, I want to use it as a second sim holder.
Thanks in advanced....
i diassembled and reassembled the device and now touch works...

Greetings,
As I said in my old post, after re-assembling the device a second time the touch works again, but this time I did something and the backlight remains always on, which is consuming all the battery.
Did not investigate more in the issue, my X1 is in the drawer for the moment.
Hello guys! Saddly for me my touchscreen stopped working but the thing is that i bought a new screen assembly but i still have the same problem and the same spot doesnt work (on the digitzer, lcd works perfectly). I really dont know what to do i have tried to google my problem but people always solve there problem by replacing the screen and i did the samething and still nothing. I'm running the latest stock rom from at&t now but i have tried to flash viper rom and cleamrom, etc... but i have gotten the same result
i tought that it could be the digitzer connector on the motherboard but it looks new so i cant find the problem...
To be more specific the spot thats shown on the image does work but when i touch it, it shows that iam using 2 fingers when iam only using 1 its really anoying when i use the keyboard. When i touch that spot, the phone starts to select things arround the "dead" spot.
My apologies if i have made some dumb mistakes in the text, i'm from belgium so english isnt my mother laguage.
IF theres no liquid damage.
The phone was working just fine, then mysteriously stopped working in one spot. I would guess replace digitizer (aka glass) But if replacing glass has yielded the same result. Now it gets tricky. Now its either a board level issue or a problem with the Kernel interfacing with its hardware.
Since not a stock device and has been rooted with custom ROM its possible those software mods might have affected it.
My suggestion is do your best to go back to completely stock and hope for the best.

Thanks but iam already on stock i have used RUU to reset the phone, same result. And liqued damage is possible any idea what would help?
Or is it possible that the connector on the board is broken?
As you start to eliminate your possibilities the fixes become more difficult.
If your back on stock everything and still bad then its going back to board level stuff. Meaning the connector on the board or something along those lines.
If thats the case then the fix is near impossible.
Might want to get a good strong magnifying glass out and see what you can find.

Did you ever find out what it was?
My HTC One has a 1/4" section that doesn't respond to touch at all.
Hi
I have the same problem in my HTC ONE E9 PLUS where a longitudinal line along the screen does not respond. Does anybody find a solution for that please?

Most likely a faulty digitizer, replace your lcd assy.
