After I have changed the screen (I bought one from ebay, completed with menu button in) the back button is stucked on most of the time. There are times when it's working well and times when it's stucked ON. So I can't use my phone at all. It might be a hardware problem? I tried cm 9, cm 10 and cm10.1. The same. Thinking of taking menu, back and central button from broken screen and try one more... Any solution, please?
It seems I will break another screen for removing home button.I was wrong! Any help please?

Sounds like a hardware problem, could be from replacing your screen. So you might want to go get the screen checked out by someone just to see whether there's a dodgy connecion or anything.
Until then, use LMT Launcher or Pie Controls (same thing really) if they're built into the rom (like many have) to navigate your phone. Not exactly ideal, I know, but that's one of your only options if you don't want to get the hardware checked.

Like Soryuu said, i think it is a hardware prob ...
Any chance to test it, that you can sure that it is not the changed screen ...

I bought it from ebay, it was the cheaper version... Mine was cracked. Because the back is on almost all the time, I can't really use the phone.

Yesterday when i take my milestone out of my pocket I noticed that the Settings touch button(second from left) wasn't working, every other "bar" button was working fine, except that one. Then I noticed there's a vertical line, that goes from the Setting button to the top of the phone that doesn't work. It simply stopped working... Some1 Help me pliz. It' s a Software or Hardware problem, and if it's a Software problem this thing will solve my problem??

same with my phone, may be digitizer was broken
Are u using a custom Rom or the Original ? My touchscreen had a similar issue, and reflashing the ROM solved it. It took 2 flashes, but the issue is gone.
Dont know if yours is the same, but if the issue still remains, atleast it can confirmed that its a hardware issue and not a software one.

I have used CM6 on my phone, but when i got this issue, i made my phone back to 2.1. The problem is still standing.
uh oh. Looks like a Hardware issue then. U still might wanna take to the store and get it verified. Is it still under warranty ? Any possibility of an exchange ?

Havent seen any such issues.. Thanks god..
it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..
I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..
is it really true ?
please share this problem,,
thanks,,

Hi all!
I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!
I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!
Regards
Lucas

I have had good success with a combo of rice (inside a ziplock bag) to absorb humidity and/or a toaster over at the lowest bake setting.

Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !
If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task But if you take your time it's ok !
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
Hello,
my Optimus 2X (Speed) is going crazy. It opens apps on its own. When I try to scroll trough my contacts or my emails, the phone vibrates and does scroll on its own, and clicks randomly. So it is not possible, to use it at the moment. It seems like someone else is controlling the phone
I tried factory reset, full wipe, Modaco rom, Cyanogen Mod and Stock Rom. In all theses roms the (problem) behaviour is the same. I also tried different baseband versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or a simular?
Thank you for your help,
Hans
ps: This forum is great and i got a lot of help and knowhow just by reading passiv for 2 months.
i think your display is now wrong calibrated or damaged
Thanks for the answer.
Is it possible to re-calibrate the touchscreen?
Hans
i dont know definitly, my last phone had the same problem and it was not possible
I had the same problem when connected to hdmi. And yes when i touch the screen the wrong position is clicked. I brought to LG service center and they flashed the ROM and after that everything was much better. There's problem occasionally but most of the time it's ok. Not sure if it helps.
If the capacitive layer of the screen hasn't been damaged, then perhaps a hard reset would clear up any issues?
With the phone off, hold down Volume down + power to do a hard reset.
It'll wipe everything on the phone, but perhaps the last option barring reflashing the phone with new firmware.
use your warranty.

Thank you for your answers. I did flash different roms and did hard resets. But the problem was the same.
So I think I have to make use of the warranty.
Me and my brother got the same problem when connecting to our 19 Philips tv via hdmi, but a 40 samsung works fine. The phone is going most crazy when holding it in my hand, when I put it on a plane surface it almost stops with all the wierd behaviors, but it's damn slow. He got an original rom and I got a Modaco rom. So is it software or harware problems? The hdmi-output seems to be ok, if I pull the cable at diffrent angles nothing changes.

exactly what i experienced. My TV is 32" Toshiba. But after flashing by LG it was much better. Also, I use MOBO video player coz it's got options of turning off the whole touch screen except the 'option' button. After that the phone is ok while playing the video.
I have a friend that had a similar problem, and even after flashing everything back to stock the phone didn't seem to work properly... He returned it to warranty as it seems to be the only thing to do...

I was flashing a rom
Left RomManager on my phone a bit longer than normal, because i had to do some errands.
The battery was near to dying but i flashed CM7 nightly anyway
The battery didnt die in the flashing process but said 5% at the first launch
I plugged it into the charger and configured it.
I was on the 3rd or so screen when i noticed something strange, i couldnt click on certian parts of the screen.
I had to open the keyboard and use the D-Pad to push the next button.
Once i was on the stock adw launcher when my phone started acting bizarre.
It would move things around and open apps by its self.
Curious to see the pattern involved, i managed to get DevTools open and opened the "Pointer Location" section. It looked like the pointers where stuck on the middle of my screen.
I locked my Phone then unlocked it and it stopped. I noticed i was completely unable to select any center part of the screen
doing so would result on selecting the closest available pixel
I gathered some data by miving my finger in a single motion back and forth from top to bottom and these where the results [see pics]
Does anyone know how to fix this
also, i tried flashing different roms with no luch
Ive got the same issue with the left 3rd of my screen! any ideas on this? did you get it fixed somehow?

Try sbf back to stock, if it's still broken I'd try to get a new phone, I had a droid do this and the whole screen would only respond for the first minute when you turned it on, got it replaced for free because I was still under warranty
Hi guys,
i am a happy new owner of a 8.9tab but noticed something strange latly. Every 5 or so unlocks, seems random?, the touchscreen responds strange.
I can not drag stuf it registeres it as single touches and keeps doing stuff even if im not touching it for a while. this can take long and seems to stay like that. however when i press the power button and unlock again all seems fine.
It does not seem to be a hardware problem, anyone experiences also such thing?
Thx for assistance.
I was on my 8.9 for about four hours last night and I did not have an occurrence as you described. But if this persist, maybe you should exchange it.

just as an update, i did a complete factory reset and wipe, and i can reproduce the touch screen problem... gona bring it in for replacement i guess..
Sorry to hear. Hopefully the next one doesn't give you problems. I haven't experienced it on mine at all.

I gotten mine replaced and never had the problem sinds on the new 8.9 tab. so for me i think it was hardware. Especially as it was completly stock and after a factory reset it was still there.

I flashed the Overcome 2.1.1 ROM this morning and since then it has behaved perfectly. One thing that I have noticed is that the touches are not as sensitive as before it used to be that it was so sensitive that the screen reacts to input when I have barely touches the surface. Now, it actually behaves like my 10.1 so instead of acting like it predicting where my fingers are going to land, it actually waits for them to touch the surface.
Update: I spoke too soon. The problem came back.

I have had this problem, but it has only occured to me at the lock screen, and I do the same thing; shut the screen off and turn it back on. Not a big thing, but it definately does get annoying.
There is another thread about a digitizer problem for the Ace, and this is probably the cause.

I tried changing the kernel with different custom roms..but all efforts in vain.
So now flashed official samsung firmware through odin..even now the same problem exists with the touchscreen.
I reckon the problem may be more related to the digitizer thingy.
Last option now remained for me is to get phone checked for a hardware problem.
Anywz thanx guys..will update about it after giving it to service!!

Galaxy Ace touchscreen not responding
Hi everybody!
I have a big problem with my Galaxy Ace. Since this morning, the touch screen not respondig.
The problem started last night, the touch screen didnt worked, but at that time I could fix with lock-unlock.
I havent power it off since last night, and since this morning it doesnt work, cant help restarting, lock-unlock, I tried everything, no solution
I made a factory reset from the recovery menu, but that doesnt help
From the factory reset I also removed the cache, with no result
The interesting thing is that when I wanted to power off my phone, the power-off-menu appears, and the power-off button looks like it is active (like an unvisible finger touching it continously), but I also cant touch it.
Also doesnt respond the two touchable button below (menu and back button), but the physical buttons are working.
Its also an interesting thing, I can hardly pull down that information panel (on top), but it appears only 10% of the panel.
What do you think? What should I do? Is it an hardwer- or a softwer-side problem?
Sorry for my grammar mistakes.
Did you drop the phone accidentally ?

Change your current rom. Then you'll know if it's a software or a hardware problem.
