Strange Flickering Screen

Have a strange problem..
My Diamond is 40days old, till 15days of buying i did not have this problem.. I installed Spb Mobile shell 2.1, since then the lower 1/5th of the screen flickers and when i wake the phone from sleep & press volume button, in the grey background of Volume control screen exactly the lower 1/5th i can see a dull image of the letters or icons that the screen displayed just before sleep at the lower 1/5th..
What's this?? Is it a defective screen, or Spb Shell's problem..
I uninstalled Spb Shell, still no change.. Did a hard reset.. solved.. But Installed only Spb shell 2.2 (after hard reset) problem persists...
Did a search on XDA but found none other similar flickers..
1) Anyone faces this problem??
2) Any one can think of the cause of this??
3) Any Solutions
I'm running original 2G (Indian Airtel) rom 1.37.720.2WWE
if it's gone when u hardreset and it came back, it should be software related
Just curious... Is Spb shell 2.2 VGA compitable?

i just asked him because it might be the cause of the proble...
No need to go all gippo about it... geeeez
Noticed something.. Did a hard reset yday.. Installed nothing.. no problem overnight.. Put it for charging.. Yes i could see it agian now.. Now my question is whether this can happen due to overheated Diamond.. Coz after stopping charging the problem disaapeared.. Had a long call sometime back, when my diamond got hot again, and i could again see ghosting of lower 1/5th of screen..
that could be the problem, why whole screen seems to be flickering, but that's when i unplugged the USB whilst synchronizing with the PC after quite some time
the weird thing is, after i turn off my screen and turn it back on using the power button, it's gone

Halfing the touch screen

So I apologize if this problem has been adressed before but my forum searching abilities suck.
Ive had a few roms installed on my tilt now but I keep running into a problem with the touch screen. Randomly Ill touch the screen but its registers the stylus touching halfway between the bottom and the where im actually touching. So if I touch the top of the screen I end up hitting the exact middle. Doing a stylus reset seams to fix the problem but thats ridiculous to so it that often. Its not very fun only being able to use half my screen. Any suggestions?

flashing is like pooping, 99% of all problems come from not wiping.

Over sensitive touch screen

Need HELP ASAP! It is very hard for me to type and use the touch screen.
When I type and key in the letter ever so lightly, I end up with the wrong letter or the letter is entered 3 times. It is like it rapidly presses the letter.
Have you tried wiping / reflashing (if rooted) or factory reset (if not)?
That's always the first thing to try.
Thank you! Will let you know once it's fixed.
I tried different roms, it improved a little, nut now it hangs a lot.
You lucky yours is even sensitive. Mine barely recognizes my touch inputs .

I have to just let HTC replace my screen.
Yeah, I think the common problem is a not sensitive touch screen. Is there a way to tweak the screen to be more sensitive?

Dead Touch Screen??

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

Hi, do you try calibrate the touch panel?
Quick key hold volume up and down key at the same time, then touch the touch panel.

I had the same problem, connector(the one connecting motherboard and digitizer) is wrongly connected. Try to connect it upside down, and it should work. I change 2 digitizers already and had same issue on all.
Cheers!
