Touch screen is not working - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hello, I have an OG Motorola Droid from verizon, with root, and cwm. I installed the cm9 rom, and it worked for a few days, then the touch stopped completely working. I reflashed a gingerbread Rom and it still didn't fix the issue, is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

This may sound like a stupid suggestion but have you tried doing a battery pull? That has worked for me in the past.

You'll need to get your touch screen replaced

A good keyword for your troubleshooting search is "digitizer"

Continuum v5 b4 reboot

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. Every once in awhile my cappy reboots straight to the boot ani. Wondering if it isn't the kernel. Still I love this rom anyone else having the same issue?

It's the kernel I've seen people post about reboots
What you are experiencing is called a "hot reboot" the phone itself doesn't reboot just the os.

I'm having issues all over the place - hot reboot is one of about 5 or 6 I've noticed on the last couple of days. Just flashed v5 from v2.3 and I'll be going back ASAP.
Thanks studacris. I thought maybe I did something wrong. No way im going back though. Gb on the cappy is great. Again thanks to all.

I had the same issue before. I wiped user data and rebooted. That seemed to fix the issue. I figure when in doubt...clear and reboot.

What other problems are you having? I'm running Beta 3 as well (I missed when they put up the download link for RC1, now I have to wait until they fix whatever problems there are with it.) and I'm not having any issues whatsoever. Battery life is great as well, which was my only real gripe with CM7.
I was on RC3 and now 5.1, and I haven't had any such problems. I was running another ROM (not Continuum, which I will not name) before, which suffered from terrible sleep death. About every other day, it would not wake up from sleep at all. I had to pull the battery to get it to work again. I have had NO such problems with Continuum at all.
Oops. Posted too soon. Continuum 5.1 was extremely laggy. Tap something and the screen blanks out before the app comes up. That's bad lag. Also, it completely crashed on me about 4 times in a couple of hours.
I just flashed 5.2, and it seems to be better. However, icezar1 says the problem was with TW4, but I'm using Launcher Pro. I hope these problems don't persist.
Well, 5.2 was almost as bad as 5.1. I installed the previous version of the kernel (Talon 0.1.4) and all was well. Some kind of high memory freeing something or other. Then today Cezar released 5.3 which is even better. This is a great ROM.

On continuum 5.3 I can't seem to find the standard music widget is any one else having this problem?

Non responsive touchscreen

Hello,
Since I've bought my Incredible S about 8 months ago, I've been experiencing this problem. Somethimes, when I'm writing a message, there is 1 letter that doesn't work, if I press on it, it chooses the letter besides it. If I exit the app and reopen it, everything is fine. So its only the keyboard that's acting weird.
I had this on the standard 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 and now on 4.0.3 with the Virtuous Quatrro ROM.
Now I'm using the default ICS keyboard, on Gingerbread I used Better Keyboard.
Does anyone know a sollution?
Just to notice, my phone was send to HTC for repair somewhere around Octobre last year, and they replaced the whole front, including the screen. 2 weeks before that, they replaced the motherboard. So I still had the problem after the repair. And I think it's not software related, bevause it's just when I'm typing something, and not when I'm scrolling trough menu's or something like that.
Had the same problem. And I have a solution: don't notice it
I know its irritating sometimes, but that's not a real problem, so take it easy

Well, half the times I'm writing a message there is at least one key not working, and I have to reopen the app, it's quite frustrating...

I have had that problem with my mum's Wildfire S as well.
But then i realized that the phone had not been rebooted in a while.
Restarting the phone did the trick so i assumed that there were too many programs running in the background.
However, now after i guess a couple of months, the problem still persists albeit at a very minor stage.
Either lock the screen then unlock it. Or reboot the phone.
Both methods work for me when I get this issue. I use the lockscreen when I need my phone but if I've got a 5mins spare ill reboot.

The funny part is when this issue occurs, sliding the lock screen also seems impossible
Then lockscreen and unlock it again and all is fixed? ..... when I have issues with lock screen I just lock and re-unlock then it fixes it.
Does that work for you?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Locking and unlocking the lockscreen helpes, but there has to be a permanent sollution for this right?
Not that I know of. ....are you using just stock lockscreen etc or do you have 3rd party apps like widget locker?

The stock ICS lockscreen.
Ahh. Could try a clean install of a different rom see if it happens? Tbh I'm just learning to live with it I get it once a week even less than that sometimes.

I get it like 20 times a day so it's pretty annoying..

Ahh then I honestly have no idea. I get it nown and again so it doesn't bother me too much.
All I can say it maybe try a different rom or kernel. Other than that I'm unsure maybe something internally it knackered as a worst case scenario.

I had this problem aswell. It started out in the same way as yours just being a tad un responsive, but slowly got worse. What it turned out to be was that digitizer was faulty as I replaced the digitizer myself and the problem was solved. As you say that the screen etc has been replaced before this could well be the case. I would recommend getting in done professionally as it isn't an easy job. Look on the market for a touch screen test app and see if you have any dead spots.

i've had the unresponsive lockscreen issue when using cm7 and cm7 based roms, then today i checked set cpu and i had a profile for screen off - a low clock speed with conservative governor. Changed to interactive and slightly high clock speeds and dont seem to be facing the issue any more....at least its been okay for the past 6 hours...hope this helps
I find if you lock the phone and wipe the screen until it's nice and clean it fixes this problem. It could be caused by a buildup of finger oils on the screen, or from your face after making a call. Not to sure though.

HTC desire c stuck in landscape

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this. I have the desire c (branded to 3 and rooted) it has worked great for awhile but recently the screen keeps going into landscape and getting stuck there (even when holding it up right) I've tried turning auto rotate off but it still happens usually a restart fixes it for awhile but then it starts again. I found a app on the market that can force it back into portrait but then I can't make some apps full screen like YouTube. I've tried a factory reset a few times both through settings and by pushing power and volume up but not long after it starts happening again.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

Maybe you should backup your current rom, and then install a custom one maybe some files relating to the sensors could be corrupt.
Thanks i may try using a generic rom to see if it fixes it. What's the best way to back up my current rom? Gonna need to go back to it if I have to sent it off to get fixed.

Well I tried nameless Rom but it didn't fix it so looks like I'm gonna have to send my phone off for repair

Try calibrating your sensors.
Sent from my Texus 4 toaster
Thanks I tried that but no luck the odd thing is the sensor seems to work cause I can play that game where you control the ball with the sensor. But its started doing other stuff now like it keeps turning the screen on on its own and putting phone on loud speaker and pausing music etc.

Weird... The game works, but the accelorometer doesn't work at other places

My wife's Desire C has the same problem. Stuck in landscape most of the time. Screen turning on, phonecalls sometimes suddently go to speaker. Sensors are working fine if you ask me.
I was trying to root it when I read this topic, I still might try a custom rom though.
Glad I'm not the only one who had this problem. Maybe there's a fault with some of the handsets or something.
I gave up and sent mine off for repair now.

Heyyy!!! Did u find any solution for your problem. My phone is also starting to behave in the same way....
I think I found the solution. It seems like the problem is with HTC's ROM based on ICS 4.0 and 4.0.4. I tried just about any ROM based on ICS (stock and custom) with any kernel combination and the problem repeats itself.
Flashed CM 10.1 and the problem is gone.

Touch screen randomly becomes unresponsive (SOLVED)

Hello guys not sure whether others are having this issue but with all the custom roms that I have tried except for arhd the touch screen randomly becomes unresponsive and the only solution is to lock and unlock the screen and it works fine after that.
I tried everything that I could think off- different kernels different roms, different overclocking frequencies governors you name it have tried it. Every time I think I have found a solution it happens again which is bloody annoying.
Interestingly it doesn't happen when the phone is plugged in to charge so am wondering whether it is related to voltage settings in the kernel or rom. If anyone has had the same issue and found a solution they could share that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

All ICS roms? There is a problem with the touchscreen on all ICS sense roms. It has to do with HTC's source which has dodgy touchscreen drivers or something. Try flashing hunterwu's kernel: it has fixed touchscreen and it really works.
It has nothing to do with clock speed, voltage, or anything. Try the kernel and see if it still has problems
Thanks Mark. I am using hunterwu's kernel. It is not the multi touch issue. The screen just becomes unresponsive completely and locking unlocking the phone sorts it.
Happening on all ics roms except arhd so not sure what it is...
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I have not had such issue to this date, at least nothing I noticed. But I did notice ARHD works the best out of the ics roms, in general that is. So could be some random bug on other ics(I used to use project x but had no issue)
Ok for me it boils down to hunterwu kernel. Been running redux for 2 days now without a single episode of screen non responsiveness.
On hunterwu it happened like a gazillion times each day.

When i flash custom roms it breaks root :(

You guys have any idea why it would do that and what i could do to fix that.

Care to provide more information? Not really enough here to go on. What ROMs you're trying and what you've run in the past might be good places to start.
Ok sorry for late reply I didn't see this. I been having issues after issues with this phone the minute I rooted it lol. Constant crashes, keyboard broke so I had to get my swift key back, voice to text doesn't work at all on any Rom which is annoying me. Data keeps turning on and off. Battery will say full but keep getting low battery notification. Bucket full of fun most of it I will tolerate. I found out SuperSU or whatever doesn't work on 4.3 and I need to manually root it again which idk if I'm using the right file
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Superuser works fine on 4.3,broken kb sounds like rom issue. You flash a rom for sprint version right(or one with sprint support and no kernels (none for sprint phones yet)
