Maybe just your phone is fully freeze after boot. Do a full backup, and install an other ROM, for example CM7.

Supupa could be right...the phone isn't frozen as animations and text messages still shows and the problem persist with a fresh cm7 flash also..

if you're under warranty ask for a replacement. you should get one back at no cost since there should be no signs of damage
if not. i replaced my digitizer a couple of mouths ago, its no to hard. i did post a thread in the general section which did have a few videos about replacing it. good luck

Try flashing another ROM? I don't think it's a hardware issue if the buttons light up when you touch the screen.

Dead Touch Screen??

Hello,
My Touch screen doesn't respond to touching since an hour ago.
I see no logical reason for this fault,
My screen is guarded and nothing happend to it.
I tried to remove battery and insert it with no luck, I booted my phone into CWM touch recovery, and it also doesn't recognize touching.
update2:
The problem appeared again.

just flash a kdz to return to stock rom

The problem appeared again I tried a lot of times to remove battery&insert but it doesn't help.
Please help me.

I've just flashed my phone to stock rom,
I'm still having the same touchscreen issues - the screen won't respond to touching.
Any suggestion please?
Is it possible that the touchscreen issue is caused because of the screen protector?

Screen protector protects screen If you have got stock FW back on the phone, just bring it to your carrier and they should do it on warranty.

Thanks for the advice,
I flashed stock rom and now when I turn on my phone It shows me the "Android Welcome Screen", Is there a method how to bypass this screen without touching the screen? (If I'm taking phone to my carrier, it might seem strange to them that my phone shows the "Welcome screen" whether the touchscreen doesn't work so they could know I flash my phone and not to accept my phone's warranty)

You can try on-screen phone, which is a software by LG, but i think, that this also needs to be setup first... Otherwise, just tell them, that you did a factory reset, because your phone wasnt working properly anymore, and thats when your error occured.
I dont see another way... Maybe repair it on your own

I'm going to take my phone back to carrier
But there's very strange thing: the touchscreen rarely works.
I removed the battery for a night and when I got up in the morning and I inserted the battery and turned the device on, for a few seconds the touch worked . What does it tell about phone?

I've just received my phone from repairing, and my touch screen has been replaced.
I'm a little disappointed because I expected for getting new phone(I have a warranty). I've also noticed that the screen is a little thicker, about few mm, which is weird.
Is it right that phone with replacement touch screen won't be as smooth and good as normal one, or not necessarily?

Same problem of Freezing screen
Disappointing but i too have this very same problem with my brother's P970... any ideas how or why?
though sometimes it would respond but leaving it a few minutes would again make it freeze. The hardware buttons work but the 4 touch buttons wont. now i cannot get thru the rom manager to make it into Bootloader mode so i can install another rom...
some things i did a few days before this happened:
1. flashed CWM recovery successfully.
2. installed a lot of apps and happened to fill up the SD card.
3. installed a new ROM Gingerbread Repackaged V20N
I can still get to S/W Upgrade but all I need is the Bootloader Mode. I honestly dont think this would be a digitizer malfunction since it works well in a given time. It's like it lagggggs much and unresponsive. I cannot get past the lock screen. Any ideas or any other way to get to the B/L mode? Thanks.

ARZAKEM i have the very same problem too i was also doing the same stuff which you atempted and end up with none responsive touchscreen.
my phone is since then lives in a my draft in the kitchen and i was also curious about the malfunctionality because it worked sometimes and other times not.
I just thumbled upon the post when i search the web i know its too late to ask but could you please please tell me what you done with that phone ???
I ordered a new touchscreen from ebay and it will arrive soon but i was wondering wether you managed to fix it or not? could you please tell me what was the real problem did you replace the touchscreen or is it not the touchscreen?

You need to indicate your current ROM. Then can the issue be accessed

how to disable Htc sensation xl proximity sensor?

I have replaced the lcd/digitizer on my htc sensation xl and my proximity sensor has stopped working. Every time i make calls it goes to a black screen and sometimes the battery needs to be removed just to get it to turn back on. i was wondering if there was a way to disable the sensor through the software? or completely replace it?

anyone??

i don't have any idea about the proximity sensor ,but the same thing happened to me ,when i make a call my screen shuttdown and it comes black ,i tried diffrent roms but nothing changed so i decieded to sale the phone .
i posed a post about that and dont receive any proposition or help ,with you ,we are tree presons suffuring from this bug .
i didn't sale the phone yet but before that i will taste one last possibility who is to flash my phone with Ruu ,until that time i wish you a good luck and if i found something which fix it i will post it here .

i once had the issue with screen protector on, but once i took it off, it worked fine.
definitely gotta be the screen's problem, it has nothing to do with softwares.
maybe you can try this app to disable the prox sensor http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/proximity-screen-off_pjwz_download.html
if the app works for u, rmb not to touch the screen when u are making a call.

ok ,i will try this app and i will see if the phone respond positively .

I have a HTC Sensation XL and have also found the same issue when replacing the screen, both the speaker and Proximity sensor stopped working. After looking around for a while i found the comments on this site from a guy that obviously has come across the issue often:
psytechrepairs.tumblr.com/page/6
It sounds like a common occurrence that they fail with a screen replacement. I've also found that the light sensor and proximity sensor seem to both be on the same removable replaceable board (some sell it as a light sensor & others sell as a proximity sensor but they are both together):
www parts4repair.com/htc-sensation-xl-sensor-light/
Hope this helps.

I know this is an old thread however I have found a solution which i would like to share.
When replacing the lcd the way to fix the proximity sensor is to cover BOTH parts of the proximity sensor with Scotch tape and color the Scotch tape with a black Sharpie felt-tip pen.
works 100%

Hi,
sorry for posting here after so much time, but I have a problem. I smashed my display and ordered myselve a new one. Once I have changed it, the phone looked like everything is working just fine. Than I noticed that my Google Play Store is crashing, and a few apps were on my phone that I have deleted months ago.
My phone is ROOTED!!!
I decided to flash it again, the problem with crashing Play Store was solved.
After I realized my phone is acting crazy,first when I call someone the display goes black, and I cannot hang up or something. It looks like the proximity sensor failure. And even worse, sometimes the phone acts just like someone was using it, it writes opens apps, just like when someone is using the phone.
Any ideas???

My screen always turns off during calls . . .

. . . and I have to hit the power button to turn the screen back on. To be more precise, the screen turns itself off when I hold the phone towards my ear during calls, and it does not turn itself back on when I hold it away from my ear.
This is obviously some power saving feature that doesn't work as well as it should, like a gimpy proximity sensor. Anyone know a workaround for this ?
I'm on Three Musketeers Sense 3.6 ROM.

Well, ther is a proximity sensor there, near the camera on the top of the phone, on the screen side, and this screen-off thing is more like feature to save power and not to anoy you during the night when you talk to the phone
Don't know why it does that, maybe your sensor is faulty, but try to flash a different ROM and see if something changes, also make sure you don't keep your hand or finger near that sensor, just to be sure, i personally use this ROM and i don't expierience this issue.
Hope this helps

I actually have this EXACT same issue and it is really annoying me.. I have a feeling it is the senor that is faulty, because I haven't even rooted my phone yet.. so everything is all on stock....

If it is possible on Galaxy S2, then it is possible on any android phone , and it is, but there should be made a tool for that or a flashable zip, i'm not that experienced to tell you exactly what needs to be changed, but it can be done, that i know

Same problem here.
Changing roms didn't solve anything
Anybody have solution for this ?

If you have a screen protector covering it then it might be wise to make a cut out or take the protector off altogether.

as i remeber , you can write something in the build.prop that will disable proxy sensor

Im having problem that is almost same. After a long call(when screen is turned off) it turns off but screen or softkeys dont reply any way.
I have to turn of the screen with power button and let it be around 10-15 seconds and turn it on. Then lockscreen appears and everything
works. This is really annoying because I cant cut the line any way.
Not using screen protector and tried couple of custom roms. Allways have the same issue.

No I don't have screen protector or cover.
Problem is identified with proximity sensor itself, on App " Android sensor box " if you select proximity sensor it reads always 0.0cm no mater what you do with phone.
It seems like HW failure, will have to look at it in more detail.

I have tryed few Apps that will lock/disable proximity sensor but without success. It either acts the same or don't light the screen at all.
Anders can you help us with writing some code, I'm willing to be beta tester if you like ?

Sv: My screen always turns off during calls . . .
If you have issue with black screen after a call or something. Explain in detail how the error and what ROM and kernel And if you are s off and what hboot , then I will have a look

The problem is when you try to make a second call display turns off, phone is working you can talk, but you can't end the call or nothing because screen is off, so you have to turn it on or wake it by pressing power button.And it's happening only on every second call, so I make a first call, as soon as I try to make a second display turns off, and only power button wakes it, after that you can make the next call normaly, but problem repeats on second call.
Phone was stock on ICS 4.0.3, and making problems there. So it's now fully unlocked ( S-off ) Hboot is 1.28. I have tryed many custom roms, but the problem repeats
I think it's the hardware problem with proximity sensor.

I think too. Sounds like your proximity sensor is weird.

To continue the story, I removed the MB and when the proximity sensor is out of the case, it works ok. When I put it back in case( behind screen ) it doesn't respond again.
Cleaning didn't help, will have to find another one to make sure what is the problem.

I have fixed my problem thanks to this thread

[Q] Touch screen issues

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.
