Hi guys,
I searched and found nothing specifically related to this. I tried disableXT9.cab but it did nothing.
I recently broke the screen on my second Kaiser so I had to replace it with the screen from my first (which reception problems so I stopped using it). To do this I followed the guide posted in these forums on disassembly and successfully switch the screen. I sent text messages right away after I reboot my phone and the keyboard was working fine. A few minutes later a few of the keys had stopped working. The delete key didn't work. At one point it started to work again but didn't work anymore after that.
I figured it was a connection problem so I took my kaiser apart again and rebuilt it. Unfortunately it didn't work. I tried again. This time some more keys stopped working (not sure if its because of disassembly or not - my connections are perfect). It's possible I scratched the connection ribbon... so I replaced the keyboard with the keyboard in my other phone, but I still have the same problem.
Is this a hardware problem I can't fix? (if so why did it work right after I got it to work the first time)
Or is there something funky going on with my software?? Can I fix this?
Thanks!
I tried to flash a new ROM and the same keys are still not working.
I guess this means it's a hardware problem???
Does anyone know if I can do anything to fix this.. i already tried switching the keyboard...
i'd like to figure this out as well.. i don't think it's hardware as i've changed my tilt 5 times already by complaining about the keyboard.. is yours like mine where it works sometimes but not all the time?
Hi guys,
I'm quite newbie... I've just moved from SPV c600 to DIAMOND. I've one problem that really makes me mad. At first I must tell that I've tried everything hard reset , than checking if any apps is causing that one by one-with no result. Occasionally I just can't pick up/refuse a calls with HW buttons. I use S2U2(installed yesterday), but this problem I had even before i installed that app. Does anybody of you experienced such an issue? Anybody knows the answer how to fix it? Thanks in advance
Same thing happens to me! It is like HW buttons work whenever they want but not all the time. If you install AEButton Plus you can remap HW buttons, but again the same thing will happen. The changes will work sometimes but not always.
I have a similar problem. Can you answer with soft buttons? Hoping some solution ideas will appear here or in that thread.
Same issue here.
I have added my experience to the above listed thread, and also opened a thread at Howard Forums.

This has become extremely frustrating.
Sprint has not been very receptive to this either.
what works for me is to lock & unlock the screen.
unless it case is related to another problem which i have experience before as well. But this has gone away since i loaded a different rom from the original htc.
*edit
this should fix it

Hi
I purchased my AT&T 3G compatible Nexus One the first day it went on sale, I just updated to Froyo and I notice that sometimes my screen fails to respond. I have to power on and off my screen for the issue to go away. Some examples are when im typing and I hit and key and it chooses another one or i'm trying to scroll on the menu and even if im picking something from the top the phone highlights the menu icon at the bottom. Are this issue just with my phone? has anybody been able to fix this?, If i call HTC support and they send me and new phone will it have the same issues?
Please guys let me know... this is driving me crazy

the screen on this phone blows... plain and simple... you will just have to get used to it...
do you think i should get rid of it?
Hi,
Don't get rid of the phone. You don't have to reboot, just lock the screen by pressing the power button, then unlock it. I've had it a couple of times but it goes away when I do that.
Also, be aware that it's very sensitive to any part of your hand that might be leaning over the edge of the screen, or hovering over the touch buttons. For example if my finger is hovering over the home button but not touching it, and then I touch somewhere higher up on the screen, it may respond as if I had pressed menu.

So...are you saying we are holding the phone the wrong way? Lol.
the nexus has this issue with the screen. its not a big deal, just lock the screen and unlock it, it fixes the problem. its some kind of mis calibration issue. yeah it sucks, but not the end of the world. only takes 2 seconds to fix it.

Heehee. I guess Android isn't immune to that either. Nor is the EVO or Droid Incredible (not identical problems but they're still there). I think it's inevitable that as we try and jam more and more "magic" into a single unit, things start to crosstalk in unpredictable ways and glitches emerge.
I have to say, the touch-sensitive buttons on Milestone & N1 really throw off people who haven't used them before. If I pull up a picture or video and I'm showing it to someone, inevitably they clutch the phone with a finger on a touch button, and then I have to get them back into the app and explain what not to touch. That's one reason I'd rather have physical buttons such as on the Desire.
I have this touchscreen problem as well, and yes its a big deal for me! I spent $580.00 for this phone. This shouldnt be happening at all! I've tried all sorts of troubleshooting(deleting cache partition, updating to the latest froyo, restoring factory settings, tried without installing 3rd party softwares, etc..) before i finally came to the realization that this is a hardware issue. Ive tried narrowing down to possibly when and how it occurs, but you can't. It just happens when it happens. It's impossible to predict. When this problem occurs, watch closely to where the calibration is off. During the problem, the calibration is only off on the bottom half of the screen, more so close to the bottom right. The top part will work perfectly. You can test this out by swiping left to right or vice versa on the homescreen. This problem will also affect the Pinch-to-Zoom in Browser, and the ability to type correctly using the default keyboard or 3rd party's like Swype. I received an exchange thru HTC a couple days ago, and not only was this exact touchscreen issue prevalent in this unit, but also it suffered from the purplish screen tint. This issue seems to have existed since they first launched this phone, but for some reason there has been no fix for it. It's funny that the EVO received a software fix promptly after the issue was reported by many. Why not the N1?? Because it's hardware, that's why! Feature wise, this phone is by far my best PDA, I mean I really love this phone, but $580.00 is too much for such an issue to exist. I'm hoping that there's only a number of bad batches floating around. I would say, if i receive 4 exchanges, all with the same exact issue, i may look into a class action. I definitely wouldn't want to be stuck with this problem after my year warranty is up!
I haven't had the 'crazy screen' thing since FRF85B, I assumed they'd fixed it.
I haven't had it since upgraded to Froyo too
not hardware problem
I encounter this problem a couple of times and I tested two things: useing trackball I ran touch sens app and tested the touch sensor, it was fine, second I killed all apps using a task man and it fixed the issue. I am on froyo.
Sent by my Nexus one.
I experienced this yesterday for the first time on FRF91 (unrooted Stock build). I couldn't press the "enter" button on stock keyboard. It just kept choosing Delete instead. Lock/unlock screen via power button sorted it.
So the problem is still there in latest build of FroYo (for me anyhow!)
Anyone else?
I've had this problem ever since I got my N1. Sometimes made me want to switch back to my iPhone! Makes it a lot harder for my son (2 1/2) to use the phone too.
Seems reports are mixed to whether froyo fixes it or not. But it gives me hope. I've been using CM5.0.8, holding out for their final release but this gives me a reason to try MCR.
I have upgraded to FroYo FRF91 but still see the same issue.
Sometimes I face with the calibration's flaw for the left bottom corner of the touch screen.
What a shame I have paid 750$ here for this phone. I really love it but this flaw screwed up all the pleasure.

So it is a hardware issue? Maybe we can get htc to replace our phones.
Well looks like I still have this issue with frf91.

i think no one really knows. Would be a strange hardware issue which can be fixed by locking and unlocking.
I notice that this happens quite often where after typing a certain number of words these 3 keys become unresponsive and does not work sometimes i need a long hard press to get it to work rather than just touch. Other keys are just fine.
It's [p] [backspace arrow] and [enter]
Im using the swype keyboard. Is it a swype issue? I have not managed to test it without the swype but my phone has been like this ever since I bought it. I am a heavy user and no1 i know who uses the note has this issue.
Is anyone able to clarify? Is it a screen problem cause i'll go claim my warranty since the service centre is right round the corner if this is the case.
Feedback much appreciated. Thanks
Could this be a screen hardware defect in my unit?

Nope.. If you are in old firmware update to LA4. there was some touch sensitive issues in old Firmwares. but those are fixed in LA4 or LA6.
Thanks but mine isnt rooted. im on Gingerbread 2.3.6. baseband version N7000DXKL2
Are there any known issues with this stock version? I did a full screen test *#0*# and no problems with every category.
Another issue i notice is my SMS's keep getting resent upon reboot and i've uninstalled SMS Popup not sure if it has been fixed will continue to monitor. As far as i have read via google search: there's no fix for this?

There were few bugs are their in old ROMs so Samsung pushing all new LA4 & LA6 ROM to all regions. wait for it. and more over ICS coming to Note very soon. i guess all problems ll be solved.
The original mytouch 4g has the same issue unless you run stock software. Happened to me on 3 different phones, drove me nuts.

Ah alright, that's much appreciated as it;s frustrating to make a typo and not be able to backspace to fix the spelling error lolz ~.~
Check your hand-set with the screen test.Dial *#0*# from dial pad. A screen will appear. select touch test and test your phone's screen. Do it when you are holding it in your hand and when your hand-set is kept on a hard surface. If there is sensitivity issue in any of the test get your handset replaced or change the kernel version to get rid of the 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.

No solution yet, but lets gather the resources!
Another one
I'm with one of these P970h, the screen/digitalizer is cracked but works ok, I tried updating to CM10, the touch/soft buttons stopped working (they light up), also tried official 4.0.4, no luck, then the original 2.3 carrier modded, perfectly working! came back to 4.0.4, dont work anymore...
For me it is rom related...
for now I'm using NavBar with 4.0.4
Any ideas?
another one here..almost same with other members here,softkey not respon when in 4.0.4 and up ROM both stok official or custom,but working when back to 2.3.x down ROM and it not really responsive at all.try and pray for solution.

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.
