i have a tilt/kaiser. my third one. after about two months of using this one the backlight stopped coming on at all. everything works on the phone besides the backlight on the screen. i was thinking about buying a new lcd but i wanted to see if there were any other suggestions first. and i have flashed about 3 different roms to it but that is not the issue.
also it gets real hot in a matter of seconds after i turn it on...

Do you still have the "Backlight" icon in start/settings/>System tab?
i cant tell. all i can see when i turn the phone on is the att logo, and i can barely make that out with the glare. then all the sounds and lights work on the keyboard and the phones face but the backlight will not illuminate. do you think a hard reset would fix the problem. i mean could it have been something i installed?
yes the backlight can still be manipulated through system settings but it has no effect on the back light

You may have to hard reset.

What about the warranty?

If you've completed a hard reset, it's time to look at getting it repaired under warranty for free. Of course if non-approved spl/ROM/Radio are installed you should revert them first but this would be tricky if you can't really make out whats on the screen - then if you can see it enough to do a hard reset....
Had my G1 since day one. my touch screen is way off every once in a while. And sometimes can't even select stuff on the screen. I reboot the phone and it works again until my phone hearts up from me using it. Then problem comes back. Could it be a software problem? I am hoping not hardware. Is there anyway to reset it or calibrate the screen? Or art least tell what the problem outs? Thanks
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!!!

ive the same problem, and i believe that's because of moisture. because every time when its raining except the problem with right side of screen im not even able to use the phone touch screen doesn't work at all and the phone just does something by itself! this issue started with small vertical bar from right side of screen and it growing everyday now im not able to use right side of screen till home button.
i want to know do i have to replace touchscreen or i can fix it with something to absorb humidity?
thanks in advance
My touch screen on my unrooted G-1 stooped working. The screen display was fine, but touch was dead. Without thinking it through I did a Master Reset hoping it would fix it. It did not and now I am unable to touch (or select) the Android guy to do the initial setup. But after the reset it dawned on me that the trackball is still working, so while the touch screen was not working, I at least could have still navigated and used the phone with the trackball. But the master reset pretty much screwed that up, as the android setup guy requires a real touch, not a trackball selection.
Anyone have any suggestions or recovering the phone to a state that would allow navigation and selection with the trackball. T-mobile is sending me a replacement, but said I could keep this phone. I would like to give it to my son if possible, as even without the touch capability, using the trackball and this phone would still be an upgrade from what he is currently using.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

If you want to use a google account you need the touchscreen, there is no way around it.
New digitizers are cheap as chips on Ebay and easily replaced following this guide, I have done it MANY times without a problem.

Looks like the way to go. Thanks.
Hi all. I need your assistance with my HTC one M7. It is running andriod version 4.3, htc sense 5.5, software number 3.62.531.1, htc sdk api level 5.65.
The problem i have is that the section of the screen just below the small icons at the very top ( battery status , wifi, signal, etc..) does not appear to be working when the phone is vertical. I can pull down the menu and all other parts of the screen work ok. When i turn the phone horizontal all section of the screen works perfectly...even those that do not work when the phone is vertical. The only app that seems to work full vertical is the camera...i have access to all buttons.
In vertical position when i open any of my web browsers i am unable to type in the URL...when i hit that section of the screen nothing happens. If i turn the phone horizontal it works! This is basically happening to all my apps. That little section of screen just not working. I though the phone may have been physically damaged but the camera works ok....i am able to use all buttons in vertical position. I tried resetting the touch calibration that did not help.
Please let me know if you can help me with this.

dial *#*#3424#*#* and do the touch screen test (line drawing test) If you can see that a part of the screen isn't responsive then its a bad digitizer and will need to be replaced.
Hi. Thanks much for the tip. I did the test and that part of the screen did not work. I guess its a physical issue. Do you know if it can be fixed or is the phone gone for good? If it can be fixed does it make sense to try to fix it or just replace the phone? I appreciate your advice.

Best Buy was clearing out their M7 stock for $149 .. their all over ebay now under $200 ..that should be cheaper than a screen replacement unless you still have a warranty
Thanks much.
