Having a really weird problem with my OD. When the phone first starts up, it works fine. As soon as the screen turns off, the touchscreen stops responding to input. The phone still works, as I can do a long-press on the power button, and used the arrows on the physical keyboard to reboot the thing. Everything (acceleromater, all buttons, hardware keyboard, etc) work as expected, just not the touchscreen, and the buttons on the bottom of the touchscreen (back, menu, home, and search). As soon as the phone is rebooted, the screen responds to touch, until the screen shuts off (either through timeout or pressing the power button).
I was running CM7 when the problem started, and since then I'v tried Liquid Gingerbread, and using the SDB to put it back to stock. The problem still continues.
Any ideas?

This is the second Sprint Touch Diamond I've had with this problem, and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing it. I boot the phone fresh, then when it's done turn off the display with the power button. When I press the power button again, it turns on, and then the buttons stop working. The device is fully usable other than no buttons, including power, work. The display also stays on, and will not turn off after the normal period of time. I also noticed if I hold the power button, the pop-up for a soft reset will come up, but choosing yes does not actually soft reset it.
Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it without bringing it in?
Thanks!
No problems with my Serendipity 7 ROM aside from a few occasional crashes/freezes, on my i897... but then last night, out of no where, my screen wasn't coming on. I thought it had froze again, so I did the Vol up/down+power reboot.
Came back up, then when I tried to turn the screen on again, it wasn't working. I put the cable in for power/USB, and the screen came up no problem. I thought maybe the power button wasn't working, but it reboots with all three buttons down... not sure why. Then I tested just holding the two Vol buttons and no power, but it still rebooted...
Looks like the power button is acting stuck down even though I can clearly hear the button working. Ideas?
Mobile tech videos has a fairly affordable power button replacement service.
sent mine you him, got it back in perfectly working order within a week.
My Nexus One was suffering from boot loop problem and has a broken power button. It was stuck at the X screen. I followed the steps in the fastboot method from the Nexus One wiki. Everything went fine. When the phone rebooted, it showed the static X screen, and before showing the Nexus loading animation, the screen went off. After a few seconds, the trackball started blinking, but the screen wont turn on. The capacitive keys' lights turn on when I press the volume keys and I get a haptic feedback too when I press the capacitive keys.
But the display just won't turn on. I tried rebooting multiple times and even tried the fasboot method again. But in vain.
What could be the problem? Please help me.
Thanks,

Hey, so my phone has been working fine and then all of a sudden I tried to double tap to turn the screen back on and it didn't work. So I pressed the power button and the screen turned on but I couldn't drag to unlock the screen. I tried tapping all over the screen and dragging and nothing make it unlock. I held the power button down and tried to select to power off, power off and restart, airplane mode, or cancel and none of them worked either. I took out the battery and put it back in and still nothing. The touch screen wouldn't register my inputs but would instead register random inputs throughout the screen and then stop doing that. I took the battery out and put it back in and even in TWRP it would register random inputs and then stop doing stuff altogether. I don't know what the heck to do.

Turn off your phone and inspect the screen. You may have some spot of oil that causes multiple touch inputs. Other temperature conditions that introduce condensation can have the same effect.
If not hardware, try to get to your recovery with and and make a backup first.
Hello,
I have a rooted and TWRP installed but otherwise stock 5.something T710 that I had worked on months ago. It's been great and my daughter had been using it to watch videos a couple days ago. I took the tablet from her at the end of our road trip and noticed it had about 63% battery left. I left it in the truck while we went to the movies(about 40 degrees f outsides) and then drove home without ever touching it until we got home. I went to use it when we got home and it would not turn on. I plugged it in to let it charge thinking it died for some reason, using the stock charger, though battery icon never appeared. The next morning I went to check it and it still would not turn on.
When I press the power button or plug in or unplug the charger the Recent and Back soft key lights will turn on for a second, then turn back off again.
I've tried:
Holding the power button down alone for over 3 minutes.
Held the power and volume up button for over a minute
Power and volume down for over a minute.
Home, volume down and power for over a minute
Home, volume up and power for over a minute.
I can connect it to my computer and it recognizes that my Tab S2 is connected but no files show as the default for the device was just charging mode and not the file modes.
Odin3 v3.10.7 recognizes it as connected. But fails to send the TWRP file again.
Any help?
Since the soft keys light up and the computer recognizes the device, it sounds like maybe the tab is still working but with no display? By any chance did you have adb working? I f so you could try rebooting, or booting into recovery to see if you see anything on the screen. It's possible that when you held the button combos, that it did boot into download and recovery but you couldn't see anything? In which case it could be a hardware problem. Hopefully it will fix itself! Sorry I can't be of more help..
Well adb shows the device as unauthorized. Reboot command says the same thing.
The home key is unresponsive to my finger print unlocks and no sound plays when I try to adjust the volume, like the ding sound it makes to hear if this is the volume level I want. There are never any of the capacitive touch vibrations or whatever its called to feel when you press a button on the screen.
I was wondering if it had something to do with hardware it's just strange that it would stop working from just being in my truck. From my knowledge it was never dropped or bumped heavily or anything, at least recently.
I guess it is possible something just burned up inside, that would be inconvenient, I've got to look up if its still in warranty. I love the size and performance of this thing.
Thanks for replying, hopefully more to come.
Still can't get it to work, same issues as above. I let the battery fully die which took about 2+weeks from the initial post. Which is to say that eventually the back and recent buttons stopped lighting up. I recharged it and after holding the power button for a few seconds the same condition repeated itself. If I touch the power button or home button the back and recent button back lights turn on for a moment and turn off again. There is no other indication of life. I would assume if it was just a dead screen then I should feel it try to turn on.
If I had to replace parts which ones should I look at first? Probably just the main board?
Buy a new one. Send yours in as defect. Done.

I see that is an old thread, but I having the same issue to a certain degree. The screen goes dark, but I can see the back light. If I play around enough times, (pressing the back and process button, before pressing the sensor button... Sometime, pressing the volume buttons and back button before pressing the sensor button), everything goes back to normal. Of course, it some random time, even when I am reading a web page or some other activity, it will go back to black.
So has anyone figured out what this issue actually might be? I thought maybe it was an issue with the ROM I was using, so I just moved over to LineageOS 16, but the problem still continues!
