Had my G1 since day one. my touch screen is way off every once in a while. And sometimes can't even select stuff on the screen. I reboot the phone and it works again until my phone hearts up from me using it. Then problem comes back. Could it be a software problem? I am hoping not hardware. Is there anyway to reset it or calibrate the screen? Or art least tell what the problem outs? Thanks

I have a Touch Diamond and this is getting really annoying.
The screen is losing alignment all the time. I align it and it works okay... for a couple of minutes. Then the center of alignment goes either way up or way down. Sometimes only for a couple of seconds and sometimes for couple of hours. Hard-resetting it doesn't help, either.
It's happening on every single ROM I try.
And since I'm currently using win 6.5, the only way to get to screen alignment is through the start menu, so if the center of alignment goes up (I think it's up), I have to just wait until it's back to normal as I can't press the Start button.
It's annoying as hell... I have to be lucky to be able to write a message or type in a number... or do anything else actually.
Help? Pretty please?

No help for that problem, all what you can is sending phone i service , if you have warranty!
Before that, you can try with stock rom, and stock spl, and using mtty tool, use button search to find threads about that!
Good luck...
I have emailed support center about this issue. All they could come up is the usual stuff - try hard resetting etc...
Of course, nothing helped.
Seems like I'll have to get it repaired. However, my warranty is out.
Has anyone had problems like this? I mean, how much could it cost (I hope they won't have to change the screen itself)?
Hello, zdravo,
i think they'll have to change display, cause same thing was at me ...
You can find cheap display and all tools with it for changing display and instructions how to do that with yourself, i'm not sure how much, look at ebay, if i remember not more than 40$
Good luck, sretno
Calling all X1 medics, surgeons and miracle workers
Ok so last night the when i got out my car my X1 hit the ground in my pouch (leather ones) it beeps and i think nothing of it. When i take it out of my pouch i notice the screen is white.
So I do the following..
I try to reset via the power button..... no luck
Next i remove the battery, so obviously it works, so the phone boots up.
Now the interesting part, phone boots up completely when it comes the enter password numerical pad the touchscreen does not want to work.
So I use the qwerty to enter my code. Its works but still my screen it dead to touch.
So next i do a hard reset( maybe was not the best idea dunno?) and this where i am cause i cant get pass the "touch the screen to activate windows" bit to do the setup of windows.
I even tried installing the ROM again but still end up at the same screen.
So anyone got any ideas where the problem lies?
You guys think my touch screen has gone to heaven?
Anyone know if I can do a soft reset and upload to the stock ROM without using the touch screen and can it be done now that i cant get pass the set up screen?
Thanks guys
i believe there are some roms that doesn't require you to touch the screen to continue.
examples are roms using wm6.5. sometimes you have to confirm something, but you might get it done with the ok button.
Does the screen NEVER show any image or does it look normal until the touch-the-screen-exercise?
Hi
Well the touch screen comes up and seems to be active cause when the screen dims and you touch the screen it goes bright again.
Like i said i did a hard reset so now when i boot up i get to the screen alignment exercise and i cant get further than that.
It basically boots up as normal just cant use the touch screen.
When i rebooted the first time after it feel i managed to use the qwerty to log into the phone but i no able to use the touch screen.
I could see everything as per normal but the screen touch ability is gone.
Do any of you guys know if there is another url where i can find a UK Generic rom besides rapidshare as it looks like its going in for repair number 2.
I am just hoping i will able to to soft reset.
I did download a exe ROM file from the ftp site but got a file corrupt error when i tried extracting the file. I also noticed the file would have extracted as a image file. Is this correct as its the first time i have seen this.
Thanks
Are you using a screen protector?
i'm affraid to say, that it's broken digitizer
My touch screen on my unrooted G-1 stooped working. The screen display was fine, but touch was dead. Without thinking it through I did a Master Reset hoping it would fix it. It did not and now I am unable to touch (or select) the Android guy to do the initial setup. But after the reset it dawned on me that the trackball is still working, so while the touch screen was not working, I at least could have still navigated and used the phone with the trackball. But the master reset pretty much screwed that up, as the android setup guy requires a real touch, not a trackball selection.
Anyone have any suggestions or recovering the phone to a state that would allow navigation and selection with the trackball. T-mobile is sending me a replacement, but said I could keep this phone. I would like to give it to my son if possible, as even without the touch capability, using the trackball and this phone would still be an upgrade from what he is currently using.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Jack
If you want to use a google account you need the touchscreen, there is no way around it.
New digitizers are cheap as chips on Ebay and easily replaced following this guide, I have done it MANY times without a problem.

Looks like the way to go. Thanks.
Hello,
My Touch screen doesn't respond to touching since an hour ago.
I see no logical reason for this fault,
My screen is guarded and nothing happend to it.
I tried to remove battery and insert it with no luck, I booted my phone into CWM touch recovery, and it also doesn't recognize touching.
update2:
The problem appeared again.
just flash a kdz to return to stock rom

The problem appeared again I tried a lot of times to remove battery&insert but it doesn't help.
Please help me.
I've just flashed my phone to stock rom,
I'm still having the same touchscreen issues - the screen won't respond to touching.
Any suggestion please?
Is it possible that the touchscreen issue is caused because of the screen protector?

Screen protector protects screen If you have got stock FW back on the phone, just bring it to your carrier and they should do it on warranty.

Thanks for the advice,
I flashed stock rom and now when I turn on my phone It shows me the "Android Welcome Screen", Is there a method how to bypass this screen without touching the screen? (If I'm taking phone to my carrier, it might seem strange to them that my phone shows the "Welcome screen" whether the touchscreen doesn't work so they could know I flash my phone and not to accept my phone's warranty)

You can try on-screen phone, which is a software by LG, but i think, that this also needs to be setup first... Otherwise, just tell them, that you did a factory reset, because your phone wasnt working properly anymore, and thats when your error occured.
I dont see another way... Maybe repair it on your own

I'm going to take my phone back to carrier
But there's very strange thing: the touchscreen rarely works.
I removed the battery for a night and when I got up in the morning and I inserted the battery and turned the device on, for a few seconds the touch worked . What does it tell about phone?
I've just received my phone from repairing, and my touch screen has been replaced.
I'm a little disappointed because I expected for getting new phone(I have a warranty). I've also noticed that the screen is a little thicker, about few mm, which is weird.
Is it right that phone with replacement touch screen won't be as smooth and good as normal one, or not necessarily?
Same problem of Freezing screen
Disappointing but i too have this very same problem with my brother's P970... any ideas how or why?
though sometimes it would respond but leaving it a few minutes would again make it freeze. The hardware buttons work but the 4 touch buttons wont. now i cannot get thru the rom manager to make it into Bootloader mode so i can install another rom...
some things i did a few days before this happened:
1. flashed CWM recovery successfully.
2. installed a lot of apps and happened to fill up the SD card.
3. installed a new ROM Gingerbread Repackaged V20N
I can still get to S/W Upgrade but all I need is the Bootloader Mode. I honestly dont think this would be a digitizer malfunction since it works well in a given time. It's like it lagggggs much and unresponsive. I cannot get past the lock screen. Any ideas or any other way to get to the B/L mode? Thanks.

ARZAKEM i have the very same problem too i was also doing the same stuff which you atempted and end up with none responsive touchscreen.
my phone is since then lives in a my draft in the kitchen and i was also curious about the malfunctionality because it worked sometimes and other times not.
I just thumbled upon the post when i search the web i know its too late to ask but could you please please tell me what you done with that phone ???
I ordered a new touchscreen from ebay and it will arrive soon but i was wondering wether you managed to fix it or not? could you please tell me what was the real problem did you replace the touchscreen or is it not the touchscreen?

You need to indicate your current ROM. Then can the issue be accessed

I bought an HTC Desire C on Cricket the other day and the touch screen didn't work in the middle of the phone. I went to exchange it and the new phone has been working flawlessly until I noticed something VERY annoying. When I press the power button or let the screen timeout, the blacklight flickers on for about half a second or so, and then goes off again. My girlfriend got the same phone and hers did not do the same thing. I don't know if it is a hardware or software issue but it annoys me so much. If anyone knows of a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.
