Touch Screen Troubles (big ?) - LG Optimus 2x

Hi everybody,
I'm using my O2X for 2 days and I notified that the touch screen seems to have some problems.
I thought first that it was due to stock rom and I switched to Modaco FR10 and after FR11 (today in fact ) same problem. I finally tried RomKitchen 1.6 with Cpasjuste kernel and it hasn't disappeared ...
My problem is that a part of the touch screen doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
And sometimes, the whole screen/touch key doesn't respond, I must lock/delock the screen I order to solve the problem.
A video to illustrate my words :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dOLL1U7JQ
And sometimes, the touch screen comes "crazy". As some lazy person is touching the screen non-stop and everywhere.
Do you think it's due to some software issue or do I need to change my phone ?
Thanks

That looks for me like a hardware problem.. Have never experienced something like that.
Only sometimes a first unlock try on pattern lockscreen fails, but second try it always registers my input..
I would go back to the shop and swap it!

Ok, I'm thinking of it too ... That's crap when it happens to himself
Do you know where to find stock rom/kernel ? I'm searching that with unroot/uninstall CWM

Hd losing screen alignament?

Hi
i have dutty's holly r0 sense 2.1. i've been using it for a while now, since it appeared, no problems. but a few days ago i noticed that the scrren alignament wasnt so good, but i didnt think it was a big deal, it was not such a big error. today i opened my phone trying to make a call and the error was of about 3 cm. i mean, to press start, i had to touch under the clock!!
and i couldnt get into any problems because the buttons in the lower side of the screen could not be pressed
i could not even make a backup of the phone
i hardresetted, but it didnt solve anything. i flashed duttys r14 and same problem, i almost thought it is dead
i flashed then an original rom, first it worked, then the error started to appear again
i did a screen alignament and now it seems to be ok?
has anyone encountered this problem before? is my hd dying?
thx
Got the same problem here. Looks like the screen connection is buggy. its gonna have to be send in for repairs
you mean hardware? ( i dont have warranty anymore
for nintendo ds you can try cleaning the screen near borders with a teethbrush . it should be a solution! try
what do you mean clean it with a toothbrush?? it isnt dirty (
I had the same problem, but only after i dropped the phone on the street a few times. I hard-resert it a few times, it would work shortly then not respond or respond with 2-3cm wrong press. Cpuldnt even calibrate the screen after reset.
I sent it back to HTC under warranty, and they changed the screen, bazel, front facia and god knows what else. It was all new apart from back plastic cover.

Mega touch screen problems on x1

Hi Guys
I've been having some serious problems with the screen on my X1, most of the time now the screen doesn't respond to me tapping it, alignment is a waste of time.I'm wondering is there something I can do to fix it or will it simply be a matter of returning it. I'm in my last few months of a 18month contract and based on my recent experiences I doubt I will be getting another x1 (or even x2)
Thanks
Simon.
Exactly whats happened to mine! Its my 3rd X1 now and O2 cant (wont) fix it. Its a terrible phone. I cant use it now and you know what, I dont care, I would rather have a Nokia 6310.
Ive had every problem going and Im careful with my phones. First one the screen died when opening, second one no one can hear me and now this. I have also had the usual cracks issue on all 3 phones. Even when the phone works the reception terrible and it hangs all the time. Never a sony Xanything again.
Alignment problems and touch screen problem
I just updated my X1 last week ( 02/17/2010, my phone it's 1 year old with no problem at all, before this ) and everything was OK. Then on sunday the screen wasn't aligned, and I started to aligned almost every hour. Then I realized that after sliding the keyboard, the touch screen was death (not black, but doesn't work the touch function) for about 40 seconds, and after that it works again ( opened and Landscape). I also need to align the screen very often.
Before this happend, I never aligned the screen, only when I updated the X1. Also, on last friday ( before the screen problem ) I installed the Youtube aplication for the X1, and gave me problems because it doesn't have a Landscape screen, and the X1 crashed when I slide it, then I had to reboot it.
After this problem I started to have problems with my X1 ( alignments and death touch screen with keyboard opened )
Does some body have an idea to solve the problem?
Im sure this has to do with software or advanced settings like HKEY config.
Thanks in advance.

when i touch the down list (call, contact etc...) the xperia open the Start bar

and it returns to normal after a while
what could cause this problem
i flashed many roms, with same result
It's not something either of you installed, but your hardware - either your digitizers are on the way out or your flex.
its hardware
yes, i can say its hardware. I have repaired many of them now.
Most of the time when its black/no touch screen response its the flex cable.
somehow the cable damages very easy when opening/closing it.

Have try this?
1. Use a registry editor
2. Navigate to or search for:
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold
and
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
(eg search on "pressure" and you'll find both)
3. Edit the values to any VERY VERY high value such as 999999999 (nine 9s)
*** CAUTION: do NOT change either of these fields to anything less than about 2000
because if you go low enough you will make your touchscreen unresponsive,
at which point it's tricky to change it back (learned the hard way)
Do I welcome aboard?
I have the same problem now and before I read this thread, I formatted my X1 cos I thought that problem was caused by software. Now I am sure it's about hardware. Have to open it soon
are you sure it's an hardware issue?
for me it started today after hard reset...too bad!
Well screen problems in Xperia are mostly caused due to the loose flex cable. Mine had the same problem. At times the screen would work and sometime the screen would not appear. But if you want to open your X1 and have a go at it yourself then do so.
I managed to fix my flex cable without causing any damage *phew*
If you have nothing to loose then give it a try and see if you get lucky.

[Q] Software or Hardware problem? Help pls! :)

Hey guys so recently I've been having a permanent glitch on my phone. To be accurate, I just started realize this problem yesterday and it got a bit more serious today. It's like this:-
About 1.3cm from the search button softkey, my phone is not able to be touched. As in the screen touch doesn't work. I can't press the backspace key ( when I'm on cyanogenmod or IceCold ) and I can't press the enter key ( When I'm on Nik's ). When I go to Note ( I'm still on Nik's ) and I start to draw something, I can't draw all the way to the bottom of the page, it stops 1.3 cm away from the softkeys. It's that whole horizontal line of " unsensitive touch ". But I can still unlock my phone ( htc's ring lock ) tho I need to do it quick or I'd have to try again.
I tries flashing different ROMs but the problem persists. It's getting a little fustrating and I'm on wits end here on how to fix it. Have anyone had this problem before?
touch screen issue
Hi
i had the same problem, but with my sony ericsson satio. i didn't get it serviced or checked, but sold it off while buying a new phone.
i believe the issue is a touch-screen malfunction since multiple roms you have installed are unable to resolve the issue.
try taking it to a service center to flash the firmware. perhaps the touchscreen needs replacement.
hope this helps.
-f.
@farhadrarapore whatttt Nooo I was hoping no one would give me that answer.. Thanks a lot btw for the reply.. I guess I have to sell it then :''''(
Sounds like a hardware problem to me , but first take it to a GSM repair shop maybe its cheaper than to sell the whole thing and buy a new one...

Touch screen responsiveness issue

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my touch screen. It works fine most of the time, except, when I tap the same area many times very quickly (like when I'm backspacing a whole message), that par of the touch screen eventually becomes unresponsive. It becomes responsive again once I turn the screen lock on and off again (the top button). I've read a few threads around with very similar problems (not on here I don't think).
I replaced the touch screen a week ago, but I've only noticed this today, so I'm not sure whether or not it's related.
I'm just running standard LG software and haven't put any third party stuff on there (apart from apps). I've done a full reset using the update utility, and using the hidden menu, but this did not fix the problem.
Here's some details about my phone:
Model: LG-P970
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35
Build Number: GRJ22
Software Version: LG-P970-V20C
Please let me know if I should provide any more information. I'm just interested in knowing whether it's a problem with the touch screen, or the phone's software.
Also, I'm new to forums and what-not, so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know!.
Ok, I've realised this is in the wrong category. Was bound to have done something wrong - won't happen again!
Thanks
Hi there,
Tell me please, does the same happen on the touch keys (menu, home, back, search)?
Also, do you have any screen protector applied?
I have said this few times in other posts..iIts a strange bug, like the touch being lost.
Its fixed easy by locking the phone, thus shutting down the screeen and touch sensor. After few seconds unlock the phone and check if it is solved, or do the process again.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, sorry I've been away for a while.
It doesn't tend to happen on the home, back, etc, keys. It tends to happen mostly near where the backspace key on the keyboard is. It happens in other places, but it takes a lot more to trigger it to happen in the other places. (by trigger, I mean if you tap the same spot heaps when writing a message it starts to happen).
Also, yes, I've applied a screen protector. The screen protector got put on about 10 hours after the new screen, but I can't for the life of me remember whether or not it was doing it without the screen protector.
Yes, locking and unlocking the phone does fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain doing this a few times when writing a long message.
I'd really like to know if anyone can tell me whether replacing the touchscreen will solve the problem, or if its to do with other hardware/software. I've since started using the CM roms and it's still an issue.
Cheers.
I have a touch-screen problem with my LG P970 (CM-10 stable)
Hi,
I have been using my lg p970 for more than 2 yrs however when I installed cm10 stable i my phone it works fine for some time then touch-screen does not response properly. When I touch in one corner response comes from other corner, especially while typing when I press one key 2-3 other keys are also pressed even though the keys which are press not even close to each other. I have install another keyboard from market this has reduce some misbehavior.
Please any one has a 100% solution to this problem please reply.
Thank You.

For me it is rom related...

Any ideas?

My main reason for reverting back to 2.3.4. Usually occurred when receiving a call; I couldn't answer or reboot the phone. I had to pull the battery every time.
I'm not aware of any fix, save reverting back to a GB ROM.

i think its hardware issue,,if i press and hold a little while on upper screen (right beside lg logo) touch screen became normal again. but sometimes need to hold on there when touch not work again. a member on this forum call it a flex issue of the touchscreen.
anyone know how much cost to replace it with new flex to fix this issue?

If it works with 2.3.4 and not other versions, it's a ROM issue. Changing the screens probably won't help.
This loss of touch was reported by many users, and it's always a 4.0.4+ problem. Something software-wise is crashing, or there's a driver bug.

Touchscreen unresponsive on lockscreen

So I had my L90 D405N repaired (whole motherboard was replaced) and I noticed something strange afterwards. The touchscreen seems to be unresponsive, but only when I try to unlock the device. It's especially noticeable if I set a pattern unlock. I can only draw the pattern successfully after like 10 or 20 tries. The touchscreen basically does not record the whole pattern consistently. This is not such a big problem when using a simple swipe to unlock method, though still occurs from time to time. I have installed the latest available software update (I'm now running V10d firmware), also had the touch firmware updated, but the issue persists. Strangely enough, none of the issues are noticeable past the lockscreen. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the problem and the solutions to it? Thanks in advance for any answers that might come.

Oh! Sounds like the issue of phantom touches I once had.
Tiny water particles caused random touches while swiping that broke my swipes too.
The issues persisted even past lockscreen for me.
I cleaned my screen and put on a screen guard.
I dunno if this will help you, but this is what helped me.
Turn on "show touches" in developer options.
You might see phantom touches here and there when you swipe
Thanks! Will try that right when I get back home. Sure hope it works. I'll report back with results.
EDIT: tried removing screen protector and cleaning the screen, but the issue was still there. Even did a factory reset, but the unresponsiveness didn't seem to go away. I'm beginning to think the digitizer is messed up. I'll probably take it to warranty tomorrow. Again. Unless, of course, anyone has any solutions.

I am also having the same problem after replacing motherboard...
I tried factory reset and fpashed kdz again...
Same problem..
I called lg service centre who replaced motherboard..
Said that touch should be replaced....
Seeing as the issue is probably the same as mine, your phone's screen (and digitizer as well) just has to be replaced. That should not cost anything, so just have patience. My phone is working fine after everything's been fixed.

i have an LG L90 D415, and i have same issue.
the touch is irresponsive only when unlock the screen, but when i do a call and hang up, the touch works fine, i dunno why is this. i dont know if is hardware, or software.
Run an app that tests the touchscreen and/or do a factory reset (backup first, you will lose all data). If the problem persists after a factory reset using the stock firmware then you have a hardware issue.

I have the same un responsivness.. now I cant even get into my phone bc its locked and it wont let me touch the code so what can I do to get in my phone... it did just update firmware also.. plz help I dont have money for a phone
My touchscreen does not responsive and i couldnt drag even after the initial screen unlock. I solved this problem as follow: dial this 3845#*410# (my model phone is 410, if you have 405, put 405 insted 410). After, go to HW DEVICE TEST --> TOUCH TEST --> TOUCH FIRMWARE UPGRADE --> OK. Wait a minutes e after reboot the phone. Try again if not work in the first time.

Great tip
This tip also solved my phone issue.
On a friends phone we had the same problem. At first the touch gesture on the lock screen needed a few attempts and after some time it was impossible to do the gesture and we were essentially locked out of the phone.
I'm not sure if this helps anyone else, but for this L90 (405) phone the following helped: I applied hot air (from a hair dryer) onto the device screen and while the hot air was hitting the screen I was able to do the unlock gesture on the lockscreen successfully. This was repeatable because I required it a second time as the device locked itself while I was doing some data backup. As a side note: The screen had a small crack at one edge.
Though after the lock screen various other places like scrolling through galleries, pinch-zoom and swipe-keyboard did not work reliable.

After I was finally able to unlock the phone again, then this above TOUCH FIRMWARE UPGRADE from brunolcs also solved my problem (after a second try, and removing the battery in between).
PS: One thing that helped during the backup phase before the TOUCH FIRMWARE UPGRADE. I connected a bluetooth mouse and then I was able to scroll with the mouse at important places were I needed to do backups.
Turning to the community with the same issue after I've tried just about everything I could think of. The problems started after the original digitizer was shattered and replaced with a knock-off. My touch firmware is already on the latest 2.07 version, heating it with a hair drier does not alleviate the symptoms, I've already tried four different touchscreens from four different suppliers, with some claiming for their wares to be "original" (thou what that means exactly is not entirely clear as you may know!) and still touchscreen is unresponsive on lockscreen for the first ~5-7 seconds. Once past lockscreen, everything goes away. This YouTube video depicts exactly what I mean.
Any ideas? Can any of you still on the original phone firmware launch service tools (3845#*405#) > HW Device Test > Touch Test > Check Touch Panel and see what it reports for Raw Data? (Mine says "Channel Status: PASS" but "Raw Data: FAIL".)
Anyone?
Hey,
don't know if this is the same issue, but the phone of my mother (LG L90 - D405) can't be unlocked while doing a call. Started with calling the mailbox, we were not able to unlock the phone to delete the messages. Screen didn't react at all until phone call ends. As soon as the call was over, the screen reacts completely normal.
Now the problem exceeded to any call: screen does not react, ending call is only possible, if your talk partner ends it. Screen reacts normally, when no call is made.
Does anyone know a solution? Haven't tried the solution posted above, perhaps doing a factory reset will solve the issue?
Or time to switch to a new phone, as this one was heavy used...
