[Q] Touchscreen not responding - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

---------UPDATE------02-03-2011--------------
Today after some time i noticed when playing with the camera a little response to the touch but it seemed random after that i ran the align screen program and after a few tries it seemed to work correctly, this is estrange since i had previously run the program quite a few times without any result.
I will continue the testing and inform you.
------------------------------------------------
Hello guys I just got a xperia-x1 to play with, but when i turn it off the screen is not working when i touch it either with my fingers or the stylus.
My first reaction was a hard reset of the phone which didn't work, then i tried installing android but the rom i installed asked me to touch the screen to start so i was stuck at the same place, after that i have tried flashing using some roms but the screen is still dead.
I think this is a hardware problem but is there anything i can do to verify it?
And what part should i get to fix it?
Unfortunately i don't know if the device has been in any kind of accident.
Thank you for your help.

Touch Flo Help

Ok so I'm having an issue with touch flo. I flashed the touch it 2.3 rom to my phone. The problem I'm running into is I can't scroll through my program files or file explorer with my finger. It was working then just stopped. So I did a hard reset and it started working again. After about an hour or so it stopped working again. So I thought it might be a program I installed that was messing it up. I did another hard reset and only installed a few basic programs. Now its not working again. Is there anything that I'm doing wrong? Any help would be nice. Thank you in advance.
Hi I actually have the same issue.
I upgraded for the 2.3 release and it worked liked a charm for a day or so, then all of a sudden it stopped working.
Also on my wing, when i hit the green send button, I normally expet the phone to dispay and its not even doing that anymore.
It just stays at the home screen, I have to go into my calls history so tha I can access my phone.
Any idea if anyone has had these issues, if you found out a way on how to fix it please let me know.

Tilt Touch Screen failing after loading Dutts latest ROM

Hey there,
A bit new, just finished loading Duttys WM6.1.5.2.1972_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06[CubeV2] Rom. Seems great at first. Had to download Goodlink for the corporate stuff. It works fine for a bit, but as soon as an Outlook reminder pops up, suddenly the touch screen is completely dead. Tried all buttons etc on the front. The keyboard works and the buttons can be used as the menu choices, but it took a hard reset to fix it. Which then I had to reload Goodlink and it happened again.
Any patches or settings anyone can think of? Goodllink is the only add in I put in. Any other ROM's recommended perhaps? Thanks all!

I notice this is your fisrt post so welcome. There is a great deal of helpful experience here to help but it does certainly pay to pose questions in the correct place. If you ever have a question about a ROM then post your question in that area and you will be far more likely to get the helpful anser that you want. People are also sometimes too quick to 'Flame' people making such errors - but not me so hopefully this will help:
I am on that same ROM and have noticed that after initial ROM installation that the touch screen is initially 'prone' to what appear to be freezes. In fact I noticed on my device that I had to press quite hard to get any interaction with the screen and sometimes it did not respond.
Cannot say why but this has now completely gone and did so with each ROM install. It took a few soft resets to see the screen working correctly but it is great now! So it may not be your additional software. Just try sticking with it for longer and some soft resets. You might also try tweaking the sensitivity of the screen.
Suggest you search within the correct area and you'll see few comments about this kind of thing (but not many).
Regards
Thanks Tony. My first time posting so wasnt sure where to put it. Have done all you suggested. Worse case, back to the ATT rom, oh well. Will search also and try posting in the right location. Thanks!

i just reviewed the software online and i can make several predictions why this is conflicting with the rom. 1) htc home
go to settings>personal>today>items>and uncheck htc home.
let me know if goodlink works thereafter if not I have a few more predictions to why it doesn't operate correctly.
Oh, and i just noticed you had a cube version, which could also be conflicting.
Thanks for the input Red. Tried that to no avail. Even tried soft reset afterwards. It is dead before goodlink even starts. BTW, this will be worth a Pint or two if you get me working.
I thought it might be the Cube version so after several hard resets(storage clearing), I went ahead and flashed it with Dutty's Non Cube version just to see if that was it and it wasn't. I tried tuning the touch screen too, bumping sensitivity up to 200, didnt help either. Tried loading the tweaks program, but nothing there either helped(actually cant even use it when frozen). The keypad, buttons all work, but the touch screen is dead. Hard reset fixes it, loading Goodlink, which I have to have for its a corp phone, kills the touch screen. I believe it worked for a few minutes, then locked up. I need to reverify that just to make sure it didnt happen immediately with Goodlink install. Very strange.

[help] Diamond only powers on sometimes!

Hello guys!
I'm having some trouble with my HTC Touch Diamond. I am running the latest ROM, and the phone has worked perfectly since I've got it!
But one day it suddenly powered itself of during a phonecall and I was not able to power it on again. I removed the battery, put it in again, didn't work. Took out the battery and waited for almost 30 minutes, tried again and now it worked!
Since then the phone locks up in no systematical pattern (when I wake up in the morning it mybe locked itself, sometimes when I listen to the radio or typing an SMS..). Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Can't type in the serial number as I just have managed to turn it on.
What should be mentioned is the behavior when trying to start it. Either the phone gives no respons, or it "buzzez" and the display shows "touch diamond", but the rom version is not appearing down to the right. When it starts, it starts just as it should and no error messages is displayed.
I have not tried doing a hard reset yet, which I must say is considered the last option.
Have anyone experienced something like this? Or does anyone have a suggestion about what might be causing this?
Thanks on beforehand
Edit: have performed a hard reset now (did not format the 4gb). But the problem is not gone.. The phone just died while surfing. Now it locks at the green windows mobile-screen just before the homescreen loads (if it even boots at all...)
Please help anyone!

Touchscreen not working??? HELP

All my hardbuttons work but nothing works on the screen no matter how long i press down or hard or soft. The touchscreen just isnt working. I just woke up this morning and it stoped working.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Please help I dont understand why its doing this I cant turn my volume up or anything
Well,
You still have to provide a few more information if you really want someone finding out the cause of your problem!
What have you done last on your device before it happened? Are you still running on the factory installed ROM? Have you tried SOFT RESET and HARD RESET yet? And so on ...
Hmmm,
people always seem to forget that we have no clue about the actual condition of their devices! We further can't possible know what they have tried already to solve the problem. In addition, it is important to remember what had been done last on the device before the problem occured (such as installing / removing software, screwing with the device's registry, reflashing, giving it a bath and so on ...)
Well the last thing I installed on my phone was slide to unlock and that was like a month ago. I have soft and hard reset and I'm stuck in the set up after the Hard Reset were it has you touch to continue. I am on factory rom. The only software on it was TomTom 7, spb shell, slide to unlock. Everything worked fine on it and then I touched my screen one day and noticed it wasnt responding to my touch and it really just came out of the blue like I have not dropped it or got it wet or anything no problems until now.
Any other information you need let me know?
Thanks

Touchscreen broke, way to bypass welcome screen?

Hey all, I've been looking around the past few days and didn't see anything on this particular issue.
Basically, I washed my G1 and had to get a new one. The one that got washed has been starting up (slowly, and not always), but the touchscreen no longer works. I reflashed the software to hopefully alleviate any of the problems when it was starting up. My initial thought was to use fastboot to flash the backup I made on my new phone with nandroid, but the bootloader isn't working properly (I'll try a reflash of that too).
So, do any of you guys know of any other ways to bypass the startup welcome touchscreen?
Try placing your finger on the Android, press the trackball, then lift the finger and press the trackball again

Flash the ADP1 software.
Edit: You'd still need touch for that, sorry.
The driver was all wonky, uninstalled, reinstalled, fastboot works now Flashed over to my new G1's state, but forgot to take off the lock screen... Flashing yet again. Everything should be good from here.
Edit: Alright, washing the G1 makes it wacky. The touchscreen works now after restoring it to the new G1's state. Weeeirrrdd.
Edit 2: Anddd now the touchscreen doesn't work :S
well.. when my touchscreen broke i used remote control software to control my ppc from pc .. thats one way to bypass welcome screen, but won't get you much further. I used it for making a backup from my phone.
just leave it off for a while and keep it someplace dry and warm so it can dry out.
You may try to modify build.prop in the rom you flash
ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED
I think it will skip the setup
Sorry can't help myself. In the laundry?
I guess I'm wondering what exactly you did. I'm assuming it didn't make it into the dryer....
If you need the data off it, you might be able to ADB pull what you want to keep. If I'm not mistaken, ADB is as close as we have to remote controlling for Android at the moment.
There may be some places around, like PPC Techs, that can do hardware repair. I'm guessing what will happen is you'll occaisionally get it to work for brief stints after reflashing or whatever, but it'll keep conking out until the hardware issue goes away/gets fixed. Hardware issues do that, printers, routers, sometimes PCs.
Not to be a naysayer, but I don't think changing out the software is going to help.
I washed my G1 (was in pocket of jeans under the water for about 90 seconds), and after that I disassembled it to let it dry. It was running fine up to the day I SPL bricked it.
Hey.. i split water on my phone.. it couldnt have been that much but the touch screen wasnt working.. thought if i factory reset it, it may started working..
I dont actually understand all the lingo you guys use.. but any ideas on how i can fix it?

oh the main issue is i cant get past the touch android to continue set up... please i just want my android to work!!! J x
I'm having a similar issue... My phone randomly stopped loading android.process.acore and it's messing with my heart. The touch screen doesn't respond but I can use the trackball to navigate, and every acore process force closes instantly upon activation, such as dialer, contacts, music, etc. The wonderfully helpful people at T-Mobile instructed me to do a factory reset on my G1, and it should fix the problem.
New problem: I can't get past the "Touch me, I'm an Android logo" screen. When I click Emergency Dial, it force closes because the acore processes are still messing up. The intention today was to reload the Cupcake SPL and Radios onto the phone. The issue there is that I can't touch the screen to start the USB connection with my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions aside from paying another $130 bucks??
This will do the trick
google androidscreencast it will allow you to contol your G1 via your PC
...let me know if you have resolved android.process.acore im on the same boat and a wipe and flash has yet to solve it...
same boat for me too! wow, this is three, maybe 4 of us currently experiencing same problem!
I love screen cast. Droid explorer is great too, basically a GUI for adb, and has a plugin for screen cast. Too bad you have to be online though, I'd love to use screencast offline!
I'll update if I figure out the error problem!
Well it looks like a complete wipe and a flash back to non root status is whats gonna take to fix the android.process.acore issue. BUT now w/o root, I cant access the G1 via android screen cast...so im totally stuck on the "Touch Android to begin" screen... sucks to be me lol
I think I'm in the same boat. I didn't know about the screencast application before I did a complete wipe to stock. So I'm stuck at the "touch android" as well. This phones pretty much junk to me right now.
I wonder if any of you have tried restoring your latest back up?
Yes, no help, either on the touchscreen, or the incessant errors. I think there must be some code that checks whether the touchscreen works, and sends back an error if it doesn't. I've tried almost every combination of radios and spls mixed with several different cyanogen roms going back to 4.1, both fresh installs and nand restores.
Currently I'm running the latest cyanogen, radio and hard spl. I get errors often, and can't use the phone / dialer at all without force closing. For now texts and google voice work so I have at least some communication. Ironically, I can't even unroot because none of the spls will flash dreaimg.nbh, but that probelm is in my unresponsive bootloader thread.
Sorry to hear about your predicaments allthrottle and r1ch. Strangely you are right where I'm trying to get, I have warranty coverage to fall back on.
