Hey guys so my D3 died a little while back as the touch screen is completely unresponsive and im trying to restore it to life. When it died it started slowly after I flashed droid steel ROM, at first the it worked fine after the ROM so it may have nothing to do with that, but about a day after having the ROM I went back to my backup of rooted stock ROM. then after a couple of days the LCD would not come on after having it locked in my pocket for a bit, at this point the touchscreen still worked and I could blind power it off and then back on and the LCD would come right back on. Then the touch screen would stop working when i slide the keyboard out until a power cycle, and now finally the device powers on but there is no touch functionality at all. Since then I replaced the main flex cable and used the stock unbrick to set completely back to stock and the touch screen is still a no go. The only thing i haven't done is replace the digitizer. Do you guys think the digitizer is the issue? or maybe the motherboard? The device has never had any water damage and has always had an otterbox on it so no chips to the outside either. Thanks
Probably is the digitizer.

Well ive had my phone for a while with hyperdragon iv iolite working completely fine without any hardware or software issues for months. Today i took out the battery of the phone, and put it back in and turned it on, but when the phone turned on, the touch scrren is not responding to anything. everything works fine with all the buttons and keyboard, but the touchscreen isnt working. What could have gone wrong just by taking out the battery. I also havnt dropped or damaged the phone in anyway so i dont see it being a hardware problem. Thanks. I really need help
I have heard of people who has been able to solve this problem by hard resetting the devise. I have had not such luck....comes to be that from sliding wear and tear the connector to the screen gets damaged. My screen is completely disable, I found someone that was able to buy a second hand phone on ebay and was able to switch the connector. Looks like to much of a hassle to me, so Im sticking with this until I switch phones.
I have had my Milestone for a while and it is out of warranty. Recently a narrow strip on the right side (when held vertically) of the phone has stopped responding to touch. It has decommissioned the search softkey, the backspace, L and the P key of the keyboard.
However, I have noticed that the touch response on the left has increased. For instance Q, A, and Z keys respond even if i touch the black edge of the screen, this goes for the back/return softkey as well.
This leads me to conclude that somehow my phone's inner working's alignment to the screen has been disturbed.
I have tried several roms...CM7, Froyomod and stock froyo but the problem remains.
I did use a third-party car charger once that gave me the ghost screen issue. Draining the batter to 0 with the app Battery Refresh and charging it to the full with Milestone charger solved the issue.
I'm in Bangladesh and there is no moto here...there is no support and sending the phone abroad for a fix is not an option. I'll have to fix it myself or save up for a few months to buy something else...not a bootloader locked moto again.
So, any suggestions? or directions I should be going or looking at?
1. The ghost touch appeared for me, too, after flashing FroyoMOD. I left the phone for ~a night slided-out, without battery, micro SD, SIM etc ) and it worked fine for ~5 days. Then, the same right side stopped working. We don't actually know what is the problem (moisture, bad charging, wear of the flex cable, defective digitizer) and we also can't be sure if we replace the digitizer the problem won't appear again. So, I suggest that you should sell the phone.
2. You could get an i9000, an LG 2x or a Desire HD.
L.E. I'm 95% sure that this isn't a software issue, so flashing different ROMs wont help.
same issue...
solution: dumped stone, got galaxy (Y)
My milestone eventually died. No M logo even. Thinking about getting a Huawei U8500 as an interim phone before I get something good.

Once I got the same problem, it was not on the edge, but the middle of the screen & U, J & N keys stopped working. It was under warranty so I got the things replaced.

yes hello, big headaches here, bricked a g1 then got a hold of another g1 with cosmetic issues to use the motherboard, this new one was locked, so i unlocked it (using the trackball tho so i dont know if it also had a touchscreen issue to begin with)took the motherboard out of it and put it in my old g1 that i know for a fact had no touch screen issues, and now the touch screen is completely unresponsive in my original g1, so i took the mother board out again put it back in the one it came out of, and its touch screen is also completely unresponsive, my question is can the motherboard be the reason a touch screen isnt working? if so how and why?
also, the mother board i swapped works in my original g1, it has a signal, takes me to the touch the green android symbol to begin set up, also does this is the cosmetically challenged one i bought but neither one has any response to touch.
any help i would really appreciate.
thank you,
john.
Hey guys, so about 3 weeks back i was in the bathroom and i dropped my I9000. The battery fell out and it landed on a spot that had water on it. Anyways a put everything back together and it worked fine. I put the phone in my bag and took it out in the evening. I tried to unlock but the touch screen was not working ( I was on HellyBean Rom). I took out the battery and put it in recovery mode and data reset it. I booted it and the touch screen still didnt work. So using odin i flashed back to stock to see if that would help the problem. It didnt, the touch screen still didnt work. So i left it for about 3 weeks. When i came back to it i tried to turn it back on but is stuck on the samsung screen. It stays there and thats it. I dont know what the problem is. Did the water get in the phone and damage somthing like the touch screen? Im not sure so thats why i need your guys help. Thanks
It is possible that some short circuit has caused your problems. I would leave the phone with removed battery for at least one another week on a warm, dry place.
If the hardware is damaged, nothing will help, though.

Hello,
I know a lot of us are having problems with displays and digitizers and im wondering if anyone else has this problem. Yesterday i replced my screen because it had a dead zone. I booted up the phone and everything worked great until i locked the screen. When i pressed the power button to unlock it there was just a black screen with lots of white lines forming. Without fail the phone will do this. I restart and its fine but when i lock it, it gets screwy. I really need to get this working since i dont even have a backup phone right now. By the way the display is not oem its a knockoff.
Since you change your LCD....it might be a different panel from your original. Check your kernel or flash the kernel again.

Same thing happen to me about a month ago during my G2 screen repair. I bought mine on ebay from a seller that had sold hundreds of them, figured I couldn't go wrong. Unfortunatly I never figuered out why it was failing and just ended up returning it for a refund. The second screen I bought was from etradesupply and it worked perfectly. Hopefully someone has a fix for this weird issue.
I had that exct thing happen to me, well rainbow colored lines. I shattered the screen on a corner drop. I took it to Gopher Mods, they replaced the screen and within a few minutes it happened. They replaced it 2 more times and eventually the last time the screen popped out a little bit since they did not add enough glue/sticky tape inside and the lines dissapeared. They also gave me a full refund, with which I got another G2. So two working phones now lol.
Basically the screen might be pressed in too tightly causing the cable inside to be kinked too much. Its very easy to damage the video cable in this phone mind you.

Try installi mg dorimanx's kernel which detects your panel type of search the thread for a kernel swap flashable. Your new panel may be of a different type causing the white lines.
