[Q] Touch screen problem - HTC Sensation XL

I have a problem with the screen.
I can't unlock it or answer calls, it does not respond to touch
but when i connect it to the computer i notice that one half of the screen is responding and the other half is not!
has anybody experienced such a problem??
is it a software problem, doing a hard reset will solve it??
or it's a harware problem??
Thanks in advance??

Try flashing a new rom. If the problem persists, it could be H/W.

I did a hard reset but the problem still persists!
i haven't changed the official rom since bought it

Is that issue since you bought it? Since when do you have that problem? Be a little more specific..... Did you droped it ?

it happened yesterday, bought it 2 months ago.
No i didn't drop it.
the screen completely does not respond to touch but when connected the pc the right half responds while the other half does not!

You have still warranty and you can take it back for repair. So i rather to do that. Don't'do anything you've not aware of. When you root and flash it there will be no warranty...
PS: If you can make a video to see what's goin on. Coz the Sensation and the HD2 model's had similar issues.....

could be hardware....possibly could be that small ribbon cabel for the digitizer that came loose or something.....just a thougt...

Well you are not the only one to have such problem, there is a similar case here in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609250 it would be best not to do anything with your phone ,just send it to repair

anyway it was just a thougt don't do anything stupid with the phone unless you know what are you doing..... really could be software problem but to me sounds like hardware....best thing is send it for repairs they should sort it for you.....just relock the bootloader if you can

softkeys problem

I'm having problems with the softkeys, specially the left one it usually bounces and repeat the keystroke.
Has this happened to anyone?
similar problems here. little bit irritating.
Sometimes, too. More than that I have to push it few times to make it "click"
This was my last HTC
Same here! Weird.
I have this problem too. And also my camera have one horizontal line that changes color, on preview and on pictures. I tried to contact HTC in UK because i bought my phone there (i live in Croatia). But no response.
Same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem in my phone bougt this christmas. Left and right from joistick, and both softkeys work very very bad. Sometimes I have to press hard to obtain some response and others only one press makes two or three movements. This is very anoying while selecting pictures or using the calendar.
I'm searching for the invoice to take it to the technical service.
Best regards,
same problem here, can you please tell me wich rom you are using, the HTC rom or WM 6.1. I'm using 6.1 ROm and am wondering if the problem is ROM related or a hardware issue
Hardware, I kept the phone as it came in the box.

Ive just sent my phone off to HTC to be looked at (hopefully repaired under warranty). I've had the same stress cracks a lot of people seem to be having. And also the problem of multiple button presses randomly, lost count of the number of blank sms replies i sent because of it.
I'll let you know if I notice any improvement when i get the phone back or if they mention it at all.
problem
I sent 2 time my s730 to repair service for this problem. Finally they change the keyboard. The problem is reduced but not really solved.
I'm not sure it is a HW problem.
My phone is going back to HTC on monday...
1) single keypress jumps the menu twice
2) cracks in the side where the screws start
3) phone is very slow
The guy on the helpdesk asked me if I had ever upgraded my phone... so I had to tell him that it is HTC policy to not make any new updates for phones, they just bring out new phones... no reaction whatsoever...

htc diamond alignment

Hello
I have a diamond htc rom 1.93.412.1ESN since I bought the unit come with serious problems with the display on the screen of alignment "Alinear pantalla" in system menu. Who here has or has the same problem, I already hard reset several times but not resolved, will defect in the unit? can you help me?
* Forgiveness by basic English, I am Chilean living in brazil
are you having a similar problem to this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438733
i've got the same problem.
When i align my screen it's ok buth 1 hr later when i put my stylus at the lower half of the screen its perfectly ok buth whe i put it at the top the presspoint is allways 1/2 a cm higher then my stylus.
so i have to do it several times a day
That is defect, I had that problem with my 2nd diamond. I tried several different ROM but the problem still there. So I returned it and get a replacement. My new one is perfect.
i had the same problem, i phoned htc who advised flashing with a orange uk, rom, then send to them if it didnt work
flashed it, same problem, so sent it in
just got an email, saying the warranty is void due to the rom being flashed
has anyone got a repair report for this issue
as my only recourse now is to get them to repair under the sales of goods act , as this is a hardware fault and their liability to fix
it is down to them to prove it was not inherantly faulty at the time of sale, but would like as much info as i can get to show that this is a hardware issue that has been experiance by other users

HTC Sensation XL digitizer has a mind of its own!

Hello!
This is my first topic on XDA but I think this is the right section to post this at. So my problem is that I have a HTC Sensation XL which I got back in Januari 2012. It's a decent phone in my opinion but I have a really annoying problem with this phone.
First off, my phone is rooted. I am not a pro at rooting and using custom roms because it was my friend who rooted it, @devstaff.
So, when I start up my phone it works perfect and smooth until a few minutes in when my touchscreen just stops working and also the 4 touch buttons below the display. I think it's the digitizer which is a bit crazy because my volume buttons and the off button works. When I try to lock the phone by pressing the off button it has a delay to ''darken'' the screen compared when it is working normal. And after I have locked it I can't make it light up again so I have to restart the phone my picking out the battery. I have tried to factory reset the phone via recovery too, but the problem still comes back. I have read that I can press the off button hard to make it nudge the digitizer but that was on the HTC HD and I don't know if it works on this phone.
That was all I know about the problem and I really want to fix this because I haven't used it since November 2012. And I couldn't find this same problem on the forum so I will post this.
Cheers!

HTC One M7 Touchscreen Dead

Hi all,
Anyone else having any issues like this? I see this was a common problem on that HTC One X as well (thread for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010897 ). I haven't seen any reports of this and I searched the forums and the internet...maybe I've had bad luck because of the similar name, but I haven't heard anything official from XDA or otherwise
Occasionally, it seems that the middle area can work if there is enough static on the screen. Here is my screen map to show what I'm talking about:
UPDATE:
How strange. This issue started happening on Saturday, but on Monday when I was about to go down to T-Mobile to return the phone for a warranty repair, it suddenly fixed itself. I have full screen functionality. I didn't change any settings, didn't flash anything new, etc. The phone was never turned off (other than when I was testing if a restart or power cycle would fix it). I'll keep monitoring it in any case...

Exactly, I haven't heard before this similar problem... I think you are the first.
Have you installed a special app ?
Have you tried to reboot before to use it a another time ?
But I think that it's a problem with your touchscreen. So the best you can do, it's to send it back to HTC
This is definitely a digitizer defect. Only fix is to replace the glass/digitizer. Send it back to HTC as soon as possible because it will only get worse over time. I had the same problem with my one X

I have the same problem; RMA time it seems. I am a bit worried if they will accept it under warranty or not, because I unlocked the bootloader .

Did you find out if it can be replaced under warranty if you unlock your boot loader? I also have the exact same problem on mine the top part of my screen which has a completely bunked touch sensor it goes nuts if used touch anywhere near the top of the phone..
But like you I unlocked my boot loader and installed quite a few different roms thinking it would solve the problem… I am wondering if there is a way to relock the boot loader and make it look like it never happened? Although I doubt it because they probably have the information about the phone at HTC since they sent me the token to unlock it..
Well, apparently there isn't much you can do if you are on hboot 1.54 (like me), since you need to be s-off to erase the *tampered* flag if you just relock it will stay.
I didn't send it for repairs yet, but I will report when I do.
Hello guys,
i've got the same problem, my phone just started to act very wired, my top part of the display is not responsible, seems part of touchscreen is broken. Have you solved it somehow or you applied for warranty.
the same situation -bootloader unlocked and flashed different roms, I'm S ON, so can't flash RUU to see if it's software problem or HW
Did you brought it back to HTC? Since today im having the same problem.. Same for me, unlocked. Guess I'll have to pay

yes, you can simply revert everything back to stock, btw please do so asap, i'm really interested in if the stock will solve the problem with touchscreen, best would be if you flash RUU, please let me know the result

Yes I will report back when I flashed RUU. I'm pretty 100% this will not solve the problem but it's worth the try.
I'm also really struggling if I should it send back to HTC or not, I have this feeling they will flash my Hboot to 1.54 so newer customers can't get their hands on S-Off. A local telephone repair-dudey could fix my screen for 170 euro which is a pretty good deal.
I Sent HTC an e-mail with the current situation and still waiting for a reply, will report the whole story back

Okay I flashed RUU but with no avail. Im still having a line in my screen that doesnt work! I'm thinking of just letting it repair by the local telephone guy. HTC here in the netherlands work with an external company called Dynafix which will take about 3-4 weeks of time to repair it, and I'm also afraid that they will upgrade my hboot to 1.54 so I will lose the ability to s-off. (Not 100% sure, but just feeling it)
I hope you have enough information, we're both screwed without replacing a digitizer.. oh well, karma will strike back someday
They won't put you back to s-on, read in another thread that some phones ship with s-off and htc do not have any way of knowing who set the flag to off

HTC should replace your ones under warranty regardless of bootloader/soff. It is a physical hardware issue and has nothing to do with the software on the phone.

not good news, i was hoping that the problem might be fixed once RUU is flashed at least we know that repair center is the only option here
i would suggest to send the phone to HTC, better than to give it to someone to fix it, this phone is quite complicated when speaking about opening, but up to u and i think u will get a new phone if u send it to htc repair center... so no signs that the phone was opened etc.. up to u, the same with my phone, if i apply for warranty i will have to wait about 30 days, but for now no go without LOCKED and TEMPERED removed..
if i had to apply for warranty with tempered...no s off in upcoming few months, i will arrgue with HTC that screen HW itself doesn';t have anything with software, even if there would be status "hahaha htc" and not unlocked i will not pay for their crap more money
Well I have really no idea what happened but the phone decided to fix itself and I no longer have digitizer problems anymore.. So far its working (for over more then 8 hours already).
But yeah, you are right, it's probably better to bring it to HTC then a local repair shop when it get's broken again.
Well that's that, I really hope your phone kicks back to it's normal state aswell!! (I received an email regarding my issue and they said a factory reset would help, I doubt it though.. flashed a RUU and the problem was still there)
Same Problem ( is it HW or SW )
hello guys , i have the same problem as shown in the pic attached
i made HTC secret code and the Line Drawing test shows the problem well
, i made hard reset but still the same ,
i bought the phone from Amazon.com USA and now am in egypt
dont know if i can send it to HTC support
btw the problem time is unstable , sometimes working fine and other becoming weird any help ?
UPDATE : after contacting HTC support they replied to me with the below :
'' Thank you for your email regarding your HTC device. I apologize for the issues you have experienced with the device functionality, Mohamed.
There are a number of reasons that your device could be having this issue. It can be caused by an application, task killers, or software issues. To determine which one, we will need to put the phone in safe mode. Safe mode is a method that allows the device to run without non-essential applications.
Press and hold the power button until the power menu comes up then press and hold on the Power off option and pop up will come up with the option to reboot into safe mode.
After you put it in Safe Mode, try using it without third party applications for a at least 24 hours to see how the device works. If it does not have this issue, then it is one of your applications. Try adding them back one at a time to see which one is responsible.
If the issues still persist please contact HTC repairs: HTC RMA Center, 1-866-449-8358 8AM - 1AM ET 7 days a week. That way you can go through the repair process as it is a little complex and we would need to speak to you on the phone to setup the repair ticket.
If you have any other questions about your device please feel free to contact us via email at any time.''
i tried it but still the same , i think it is hardware issue :'(
Can anyone confirm whether this S-OFF software can re-lock the bootloader and make it look like the warranty is still intact ? I need to send my phone back to HTC for a new digitizer stat
Yeah it's possible. Here's a guide for you: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/

[Q] Phone starts and sounds but screen remains black, with backlight on!!

Hello all,
My Xperia was in a serious bootloop that I couldn't fix, not with pc companion not with flashtool flashing stock roms. So I gave up and sent it to the closest Sony Mobile certified repair store, it took them one month to tell me they couldn't fix it, they said they opened it, changed the battery and it still had the same problem so they also gave up and gave it to me, they did say the problem could be the motherboard. I'm now living in Brazil and getting a motherboard for the c6602 is impossible first of all because the phone was never commercialized here (and importing is impossible, it'd take 2.5 months and they'd charge me 200% of the part price, unfortunately that's how Brazil works ). Something interesting that happened is that when I got my phone back they had solved the bootloop issue but they created another issue, the phone starts makes all the sounds the screen turns on BUT all you can see in the screen is the black color, so the backlight is on but nothing shows up.
Could I be able to fix this via software? or the only option is changing the motherboard (or maybe fixing something on it)?
If any of you knows how to fix this I'd appreciate an answer.

How do you know it isn't a display problem?

Because I sent it to sony and they said the problem was the motherboard and the problems the phone's been giving are pretty random, for example at the beginning the problem was that it had random reboot each one with more frequency, it when from that to just work with the ac adapter connected, it went from that to a bootloop of just showing the sony logo and restarting, after I got it from sony the problem is that it boots app (without needing to be connected) it makes all the sounds like it was working perfectly but the screen is ON but black. So because all this I'm convinced it's the motherboard.
I see changing the battery didn't fix your problem.
I think it's so sad that this phone with just more than a year of life are getting this serious problems and sony isn't doing **** to help us. They keps my phone 1 month just to tell me that it couldn't get fixed, they said they changed the battery and all but still the same problem. I've reached a point when I just don't trust sony anymore, I'm getting a galaxy s4 on monday but still I wanna fix this crappy-phone.
Well, in my case it happened out of nowhere, I wasn't doing anything special with the phone..., I'm thinking maybe restoring the TA partition would fix something? I don't know... I found the motherboard for 80 euros in aliexpress
