I have an AT&T Tilt...until Friday it worked great...It has WM6.1, HTC Home and spb Mobile Shell.... Friday I changed the screen protector from the same pack that I have used for months and then the problems started.... Randomly when I try to touch the screen it appears to lock up, but then the start menu will drop down. The soft buttons work, but then every once in a while the start menu will drop down again. I have soft reset to no avail, but then in an hour or so it will start working fine again. Anyone have any ideas, does it sound like a hardware or software problem? should I hard reset the phone and start over? Help
Thanks
Andy
pull off your screen protector.
chances are you have it touching on a side which causes pressure somewhere else and it (touchscreen) thinks its being touched in a different place.
which in turn makes you believe its locked up, since it does not have multi-touch touchscreen it will not respond because it is perceiving a touch somewhere else.
Thank You...Thank You... I believe that was the problem.....
i was replacing my g1 digitzer. I had the guide with me still took me 12 hours to figure out how to do it. i disassembled assembled it thousand times before the slide was properly working and touch screen was functional. Now the problem is, something is wrong i cant figure out.
When i open the keyboard the screen doesnt flip orientation. It does on its own.
When i type through keyboard the buttons change randomly and they dont respond to what i am pressing
. The music volume bar shows up it self , the sound is very very very low from the speakers.
Camera still works.
touch screen working perfectly.
The trackball, menu button, and all those on that panel are working fine.
please help me fix this thing
This not the right place for this. But might have somthing to drivers? And know this probly won't help but u should wipe ur phone if you have not all ready.
Youll have done what i did when i swapped my housing round, i missed 1 conntction that stopped my touchscreen working,,, and then i realised i put the keyboard sensor on upside down :how embarrasing smiley:
actually i damaged one of the connectors on the strip of my keyboard
everything else is working now except for few alphanumeric buttons!
Hello,
I'm not really sure if anyone encountered this before..
Suddenly today in the morning, I notice my Milestone's touchscreen is acting up.
I can't reach the menu button at the bottom of the screen. It always chooses Phone or Web Browser button instead :/
I use search to get to Dev Tools and Pointer Locations, and I realize there's a segment, about 1 third of the touchscreen, in the middle, unresponsive to touch.
I tried cleaning the screen, clearing cache, rebooting, it made it work temporarily, but then it returned again. I changed to stock 2.1 SBF, still no change. And now, its stuck in this state, I can't get it to work even temporarily..
I really dont want to send it to Customer Service, is there anyway to solve this?
Thanks!

Same with me, i can't reach from menu in a bottom side to upper side, maybe 10mm dead space + 7mm right side from bottom side to upper side.
Please help me!!
Sorry my english is not good
It happen to me last 2 weeks while helping out a friend's Milestone. After i flashed a kernel, the whole screen is not working. Trying to flash back to stock ROM,custom ROM,etc but still the same.
By accident i press and hold both BACK key(the bottom left) and SEARCH key( bottom right) and ON the phone. I let go of the the two,BACK and SEARCH key after the phone is completely ON. To my surprise, it works!!! Until now the phone has no problem with the touchscreen.
I hope you guys can try this out or is it an coincidence,I don't know..

thanks but no fix it for my phone
I had the same problem sometime last year, which I eventually fixed by clearing cache partition and rebooting a bunch of times.
Unfortunately, the problem re-appeared today. So far, rebooting and clearing cache hasn't worked.
By any chance, have any of you installed the WiiMote Controller App? I was convinced that was what was doing it to my phone. (maybe not, as I never re-installed it though)
I'm about to flash the sbf file, but as Lesiroth said, that might not work
i believe u r having GHOST TOUCHSCREEN syndrome
my touchscreen sometime do not response to my touch
it just went berserk!
the notification bar keep sliding up and down
if im in the menu, it goes up and down too!
sometime i cant unlock the screen bcos it do not respon
however, some chinese users found that this could be due to ripped/ torn ribbon
just google it
it is widely reported too!
I just want to say that I have fixed my Droid's touchscreen problem (or maybe it will re-appear in another six months).
Anyway, I just set the screen brightness to max and screen timeout to 30min and let the battery drain. I took the battery out for a second and then charged the phone with the USB that came with the phone over the wall socket.
I think the USB wire is the culprit (I was using a BB one for a while).

my problem seemed to be disappeared after i soft reset n use stock rom
i tot launcher pro was the culprit but it is not
so i re-install LP n use for 1 day
d only problem i had was when i went for a jog, i tucked it on my waist (no in the pocket).
after that the screen stop working at all, i have to reboot by taking the battery a few time.
after 30 min or more, the problem was gone.
tis could be due to the stress applied to the screen when im joggin (as it it as "touched" while im jogging).
however, i removed beautiful widget n its addon too, dat could the source of the problem as well.
SOLUTION: soft reset, use stock rom / launcher for 1 day
if it still persist, it could a hardware problem

I am glad that you solved your problem. Unfortuntely the past week or so has been a really busy time for me, I could not focus on this problem. I will try your solution, although I still think it is a broken digitizer on my part.
maybe the problem is the digitizer..
try to change rom or wipe it first..
if the problem still persist i think its the digitizer..
use only the original charger..
OMFG that worked on my phone!!!

Hello,
I am new to Nexus one coming from Iphone 3G. the phone is quite good but i experience a little problem.
When the phone is plugged in and is charging, the touch screen becomes very inaccurate. Typing on keyboard is impossible...etc, the only solution is to use the trackball. Everything is gone after unplugging it from the power cord.
Do you have any advice for solving this ?
Best Regards,
I've heard that if you press the power button to put the phone asleep and then press it again to wake the phone would reset the touchscreen

Is the phone getting hot while you are charging it?
I found that when it gets really hot that it can mess up the touchscreen a little.
Common problem, no fix for it. Just black out the screen, and the problem resets itself and goes away. Takes 1 second. It's a hardware issue.
i have same problem too....
sorry... wrong post
Thank you for your answer, i understand that plugged or hot can mess the touch screen. It's not "fixable", i will live with it.
I sent mine back 3 times and it is finally fixed. I have a perfect touch screen. Have not had san issue in over 2 weeks. Send back and leave note with your phone. As I said I would not except no for an answer.

I'm having this problem for almost a year now. The problem is with the screen. After a week or so once every month my mi3 goes Blank without any preceeding problems at all. The on screen buttons are on and the phone is also on that I can confirm by using the volume keys and the power key.
Sometimes the phone screen turns on automatically after few days sometimes not. Then I have no other option but to use fastboot.
I would like to add that my screen got broke and got replaced from service Centre and since then this problem started happening. But i personally don't think this has anything to do with it.
It's nearly been an year now and I have tried all possible solution at all leading forums. I think there is something to do with proximity sensor but tried all solution for that too.
Any help would be acknowledged.
