If u want to test that it is really not a hardware problem,
try flashing another rom to see if the problem persists or not..
If it persists then its the problem of ur touchscreen so take it to sony service center.They will get it repaired...
flash another rom to make sure,but if it is shown when you are running different apps and even in cwm i guess its hardware problem...

some times there is a screen cut if you are in high frequency.
anyway if its your screens problem there are some cheap in ebay..
If It is a Hardware Problem... Than Just Replace the Touch pad it Should Cost you Around 20$ to 25$(2nd Quality)
I had the Same Problem & Replaced the Touch Pad Now it Works Good For Me..!!
Yeah but i can't buy on Ebay and where i live is much more expensive...its will be the half of the price of a new phone.
But thanks anyway!
Send from My Xperia™X8
yeah...
maybe you can flash with another ROM
always flash the kernel and the other..after that try to wipe data
hope it can help to solve your problem
Have you consulted a service center? And maybe find out if it's a hardware issue (it probably is ) and maybe get an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it?
Worst case scenario: buy a new phone but don't throw away your x8 so you can stay active here. That's what i'd do.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Do you have the warranty still active? maybe you can fix it for free.
No,i have the phone around 1 year and 5 months,no more warranty.I tryed to change kernel+ROM and nothing.By now i will assume thats a hardware problrm and 'll try to dissasembly and see what i can do... hope its simple!
Well I really hope you will repair it successfully...hope for the best and good luck

Well,no way i could fix it,the problem is inside the display and only a new one would work,sadly i will need to buy a new phone.Thats it.Thanks everybody who tryied to help and goodbye!

Hello all,
I have been doing stacks of reading on this issue and have not come across any useful info on the subject...basically I have a IncS rooted running Bindroid (great rom) I recently upgraded because I had touch screen issues such as unable to unlock, text input not responding, screen freeze...press the power button a few times and whallah! It works again until I go to use my phone again...this is very very annoying....I have read about grounding issues and software issues...people have reported they re did their phone a number of times and still had the same issue..
My question is, Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on this really annoying issue, I love my HTC, I do t want to have to go back to the "other side" lol
Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and please feel free to throw so e ideas out.

Have you undervolted? Too much undervolting causes such issues... Too much overclocking does too... Try a different kernel is also an option... Maybe rcmix or lordmod?

Could also be a loose connection with your screen to the motherboard. If you want a cheap fix search Google for a replacement screen its 40 dolla. I got one for my gf's incs after she dropped it and the screen cracked, came with instructions on how to replace it and the tools required, worked like a charm. If you don't want to buy a new screen there should be detailed instructions via. Google search on how to disassemble your incs so you can check the wiring.
Maybe your screen just isn't clean... Like if sweat falls on my phone when I'm at the gym... The screen goes nuts until it's squeeqy clean xD
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
Nah it's not a sweat issue, I have tried all of the above except for trying a dif kernel.
This phone is so frustrating to use lol I'm not going to give up until I get it resolved! Lol
I don't have that problem, but perhaps it's related to THIS.
hi guys for the past one month . my phone is not at all responsive in the touch screen and in the soft buttons .. it gets stuck and I have to lock the screen and then unlock it to make it work!!! tried many roms but still the same. is my phone aged? lolzz its 10 months old!!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Hmmm, strange.. Did some Googling and found some interesting stuff. Anyway, I see that you are from India too. Take it to an hTC center, and ask them to look into it. It might be some issue with the phone's hardware. If the service center's guy is not bright enough to check if your phone is s-off, you might get lucky

Seriously stop being that naive, I also had that call problem - radio flash did help. Still having same freezing as u occur, which came and shows up with Sense 3.0+ releases. Don't worry your phone isn't even near to it's death

I've got the same freeze issue....tried replacing digitizer, didn't help. Tried various ROMS, didn't help.
Have you tried a non-Sense ROM? I thought I tried that, and it didn't help either
Bringing up an older thread, but I have found a partial solution for my screen freeze issues. This was posted on another forum, so I can't take credit.
Download SGS booster and set to optimized. Slide top three sliders all the way to the left, and bottom two sliders all the way to the right, and apply.
I seem to have way less freezes with this active.
Before doing this i replaced LCD and digitizer, new ROMs (both Sense and AOSP), and nothing made a difference, so I am fairly happy that this software has improved my phone.
Anf no, I am not affiliated, just a user that seems to have been successful with an issue by using this software. There might be other software which does the same thing also, idk.
I had same touch problem and hanging problem.
It's the motherboard problem.
I took it to HTC care center and reported the problem.
Also added a few problem on my own like..AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING OFF..UNABLE TO ACCEPT CALLS.
They replaced my piece (except back cover, camera and battery).
Try reporting to HTC Care center. :good:
Well, hello everyone!
From 3-4 days i see my mobile is working alone...i mean like someone touch the screen(when is unlocked)...i never hit my phone or drop down...just i use to install many roms.

If u flash a diferent rom and kernel and the problem persists try to go back to factory kernel and rom if even at this time is stil persists the problem ...the solution for me was :
There is a touch screen problem...touch pad malfunction and for me the only way to repair was to send in service...or to buy a new mobile...so i give my mobile to recycling program and i get 28 euro , i count my points from bills and i got another 49 euro...with this money i use to pay around 120 euro difference and i got a Nokia Lumia 610 is a windows mobile and i will see what he can do...until now i am happy with what i have.
If u want to stay on Android i suggest u to go for Sony Xperia Arc S...but i am afraid u will have later the same problem.
This is what i did, u do as u like...the choice is yours! Sorry for my negative answer!

Hi,
your answer is here!. Seems to be a hardware short circuit.
maybe putting your open device close to a warm source to dry it will give you 15.031969% to save it...
Else, I fear you need Samsung service..
I don't mean to be rude but why did you open a thread here on XDA about this?
This site is for mobile phone/tablet development.
You have bought a faulty device, it happens.
You need to take it back for a replacement, simple.
I hope you get it sorted! It's never nice buying something and it not working properly.

i believe it got something to do with calibration or something related to software
as phone was flashed earlier and it might be something to do with flashing
i was thinking of writing NV calibration data from another phone to see if that may help, but thought of getting more ideas first.
WBR
Oh right, fair enough then. I thought it was brand new and you'd just taken it out of the box.

as good as new, only a few days used, sending it back would be costly
so i thought to get some ideas if it could be calibration data or something, as i have already flashed it but it didn't yield any result..
Hello again friends,
So,after a while of asking and comparing devices,I finally got My Z1 yesterday,but guess what?I found out that it has the touchscreen problem!I realized it after doing the test..now I dont know if it can be fixed by some software or something or if I must return it to the store and wait a loooong time till they bring me another one which will probably have the same problem |-(
What can I do?any thoughts?
Please man, use the search button, we have A LOT of posts about this problem, we have a possible solution for it, just serach on the forum and you will find.....

Ok, some questions, On the box of your phone is write "Made in Brazil"? If you put your phone on a flat surface, wait 30 sec and try to scroll a page it will fail? When you are playing a game and the phone is hot your touch fails? If yes you have a hardware problem, ask for a replacement, i had to change my phone 3 times until find a working one, my other 2 Z1 was made in Brazil, now the working one is made in China, some people with the China one have this problem too, but is rare. The Brazilian version is having an assembly problem, causing bad contact, if this is your case change the phone.

Ok, make a try with games and see if the problem will appears, i recommend you to do the following, pick a camera and record the problem when it appears, then take to store and change the phone, BUT before you go out test if the problem will come on the new phone, that was what i did, i stayed 3 hour inside the store testing
@MakaMika Sorry to say but you can join us here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540950
Anyway, still some chance to fix this touch screen problems with a software, a good new FW which we wait for it but I will not wait until that and I will send the phone back to the store when you bought it a tell them to fix it or replace with a new device, like I did. The phone still under warranty and should be issues free and it's not so you have the rights to send it back. Sony Service will decide if repair or replace.
3 hours???LOOL I guess i ll try the gaming test,what game do you recomand to heat up the phone quickly?

This hardware issues can be managed via software that is why we wait for that FW. BTW we are not sure when and how and if it's hardware or software related but new FW should definitely help. They are aware about this issues and they point the FW in that way to fix it.

Me too. I try to clarified, Sony never confirmed it's a hardware problem of they touch screen. People has different Touch Screen issues, someone when touch the aluminium frame the Touch Screen start working well again, someone else don't have that but have problem scrolling pages or opening the phone with pattern even if they touch the aluminium frame or not. So here is the confusion, who have to touch the aluminium frame to let working the Touch Screen saying it's a hardware related (kind of wrong phone sealing) and others who have the problem even when touching the aluminium frame or not saying it's a software related. Many said also after the update to 4.3 the touch screen get worse, like mine. Now do you understand the confusion? Many send the phones back via warranty, many waiting for a FW pointed to fix this issues. Developers are aware about this Touch Screen problem so they try to fix it, even if seems hardware related, with the release of the new updated FW .114, .124 or 136, who know?
Yes,I get you.mine works well when touching the aluminum frame.I guess after all i should return it,didnt even enjoy the few days of having it
Are you sure that a hardware problem can be solved with software update? I mean, i know that software can turn around some issues, but this is not certain

Exactly, we don't know this yet. We have to wait for a new FW pointed to fix this problem. If they do it's a software issue.
