Hi,
Problem:
My phone isn't rooted. No other ROM installed. Not flashed. Not bricked. Works perfectly, except the touch screen is dead. I have set-up a patern to unlock, which I can't unlock... so I can't use the phone.
Is there a solution to this issue?
I don't want to install another touch screen, just delete the whole phone and not set-up a patern to unlock. I tried to search for
- RSD lite since that's the only thing I can work with and it's easy
- "unbrick" my phone
- a similar topic like this one >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845912<
No success...
Greetings.

well you can fix teh touch sreen (buy a new one and replace it - it's easy),
but i don't want to do that, I just want to disable the touch screen (no pattern lock). I actually want to format it, so i need to restart and i wills kip the pattern lock
Anyone with a tutorial?
No tutorials?
Sit down and seriously think what you are asking and what your phone does.
If you wipe phone you would need to 'Touch Screen To Start' so that option is out the window.
To get rid of the lock pattern you need to enter the lock pattern first, reason being for security.
New touch screen or nothing, sorry.
I have a similar situation. i am trying to sell it cause i bought another phone but need to factory reset or delete all the info from this one. cant even get pass the unlock pattern. its a motorola cliq. please help
You're right,... Bummer! I'm sitting down and speculating. Seriously, no work-around?
Isn't there a costum ROM without the "touch to start"?

Hi everybody
I did a hard reset to my phone this morning, everything worked fine, i took the phone with me to work, and there, I discovered that the touch screen would stop responding.
I tried soft reset few times, didn't helped.
Then I tried Hard reset which also didn't helped - I am now stuck on the Align Screen thing.
1- what can I do to solve it? I have tried blow trying my phone gently for a while in case some moisture got inside somehow. I also tried to clean the edges of the screen with a business card.
2- will att help me with this? I bought this phone on Ebay few months ago. the phone is less than a year old. all I got is the HTC imei and unlocking code.
Any help?

I'm sure that somebody here have an advice for me
Not sure if this'll help you, but I had a similar problem, and what was causing it was the screen protector had slipped and was squeezed between the casing and the screen itself down one side - one I removed and replaced the screen protector, it worked fine.

I had a similar issue yesterday. I am using Dutty's v2 ROM. My problem started when I tried to enable TouchFlo. I could not get the TouchFlo to work and I did not have a lot of time to play with it. After 30 minutes, Goodlink locked the phone and when I went to unlock, the touch screen did not work. I did a soft reset and that did not help. I had to go back thru and disable TouchFlo and do a soft reset. This fixed it for me.

I just put the file there and it skipped the align screen.
The setting for the touchflo are only enabling/disabling the sound when scrolling. how can I disable it?

HELPppppp!
if you already did a hard reset, and its still not responding, it most likely is a hardware problem.
First...
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FLASHED THE PHONE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RADIO AND ORIGINAL ROM!!!
Second...
Call AT&T. Tell them you have a tilt cell phone and you need to warranty exchange it because the touch screen stopped working.
Third...
Tell ATT that you already hard reset, you already soft reset, and you have already factory reset the phone. Then tell them you have NO additional software on the phone, no installed programs, and have changed nothing.
They will ask you some questions, get your imei# and etc. etc.... then they'll make sure you still have a warrantly remaining. If THAT phone still has a warranty remaining, you should be able to get it exchanged.
Let us know what happens. It DEFINITELY sounds like a hardware issue.
I would go for the business card trick again, it surelly sounds like you have something between the casing and the screen. Perhaps you should try with an other "object" to clean between the screen and casing.

Yup agreed, i have had this very same issue, I just ran my finger nail around the edge of the screen under the casing. Even a small build up of dust can cause this issue.
Good Luck

Thanks all for the help.
I tried fingernails, business card, everything. not working
Installed 2 different tweak apps (KaiserTweak , PocketTollMan) to disable the touchflo. Both can not be controlled at the relevant areas without the touch screen. God, it's getting complicated.
Should I open the case around the screen and make sure everything is clean?

i agree with this one, i would just do this.... since you have pretty much done everything there is to do... plus if you exchange it... you wouldnt be left back on anything since you have already hard reset your phone so your would just be right back in the same place....

thats a very, VERY naughty android.
anyways, why don't you unroot your phone and send it back to HTC. its still under warranty for 10 more days atleast
They should be able to fix it for $39 (or free0
call them. that way you can experience the phone like its supposed to be experienced

you have to finger the green guy really hard to get him to go away, and if you finger him just right, then he will return every time you wipe your phone.
Hi guys. It's been a while
I have a Stellar that is displaying a white screen with blue buttons, like a phone dialler, and is prompting for a password to unlock. I have seen this once before on another Stellar but it's been so long I've forgotten what to do. Does anyone have any ideas how to get round this or get rid of it without doing a hard reset?
I don't really want to lose the data as it's not my device. If I have to rebuild I will but wondered if there was a quick fix for this?
Basically I can reset or switch off and it goes through the O2 splash and then the WM splash too....then this dreaded bloody screen pops up! I initially thought it was an issue with the SIM so I rang O2 and had them check it, all is OK that end.
I've stuck another SIM in and it still does it, so I'm sort of thinking it's hardware? I've also tried various combos of numbers to try and bypass this screen. All I can do is ring 999 which is not clever or funny.
So, I'm all ears. Cheers guys!
Oh, and if you need to know, it's the standard O2 ROM over which we apply our company build using spbclone. Don't know the version but it's not running Home Brew as such - our clone is basically tweaked user settings and GPRS settings
I think the first thing you need to do is to unlock your phone. Search here or they are many sites that will offer you a good deal to do that.
Have you try a hard reset? just to double check. If you see the unlocking # prompt your screen again you will need to unlock the phone.
Unfortunately unlocking is not an option. As no-one else has posted suggestions, and you guys were my best bet, it would appear I'm going to have to re-image it. Poo.

Did it here Settings > Language and Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Calibration Tool
But still the same.. Do i need to reset the calibration?
Have you tried to reset phone? If that doesn't help, try factory restore
mine plays up. im stuck on cyanogenmod, cant go on other roms or even stock yet -.-
Basically it stops working or certain parts wont work, I would then press the power button (to put screen into sleep) and then wake it up then it's good again. very frustrating though.
I have a long pattern to unlock my phone and sometimes it won't work because certain parts of the screen isnt working. It's not physically broken I think, because all it needs it to be turned off and back on then it's good to go.

No. Turn off fastboot in power menu, then turn phone off and turn it on again. That should do the job. I had that problem either, but very, very rarely.

Probably it hardware problem rather than software, but you should try factory data reset first (settings, sd& phone storage). There is possibility that some app caused this.

Hi,
out of noting the screen of my HTC one mini 2 stopped working. It stays black.
The Phone is still on but unable to see anything on it, and looks like touch is not working.
Is there a way to get the data from the Phone?
USB debugging is not on. Can send it back to HTC, but that will result in a factory reset.
Would like to retrieve the data from the Phone if possible.
Thanks.
Rgrds,
Jeroen
If there is NO password on device then you can use HTC Sync Manager to backup all data on the device, Good Luck...otherwise bad luck..
