Strange problem that just materialized today. I can no longer "touch" the top quarter inch of my screen. Meaning that it is non-responsive to touch. I have to flip my screen around to tap anything on that part of the screen, which works most of the time, but some apps don't auto-rotate.
I have searched and searched but I can't find any troubleshooting tips relating to this specific problem. Has anyone else encountered this before, and if so, do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Have you seen this problem before?
I haven't flashed my device in over a year and to be honest I don't quite remember how.
If re-flashing was the only solution, I would do it, but want to have some degree of certainty in advance. I'm not even 100% certain what ROM I currently have flashed on my tab. I think it is AOKP vzw v27.

I am having the exact same problem with a Galaxy S4. I reflashed the stock ROM in Odin and still have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

A friend had the same problem with a HTC and solved changing the digitizer screen. Is not too expensive ... You can find it on Ebay easily and if you don't know how to change it there are tutorials an shops everywhere...
Other people the touch does not work completely for having wet the device...
Surely it's a problem with the digitizer. Replace the digitizer.. Falls or hits would have caused this..

Unfortunately for the S4 the digitizer isn't a separate part of the display. The gorilla glass, digitizer, and lcd are all glued together. The whole assembly is still around $200.

For the past 2 weeks there is a big line of my screen at the bottom of my screen that is completely unresponsive. For example, I use the android revolution sense 3.0 ROM by mike1996, and I can barely unlock the phone because the ring is exactly in that spot, although it works after many tries. Typing is a pain in the a** unless in landscape. Anyone had this problem or a solution on how to fix it?

Thank you!
After replacing the digitizer, even though it was very complicated, my touch screen works like a charm! Let's hope it remains that way.
If anyone has this problem, replace the digitizer.

Hey guys, my old and trusty galaxy S amoled screen shattered somehow, and I do not want to repair the phone as who knows the internal parts might die anytime?
Does anyone know of other uses for such a phone? Or is replacing the screen the only way out to make full use out of it?
It's interesting to see a phone model 2 years old still has so much development going on

If you're handy with things like this, a replacement screen is about $80, which isn't too bad. Pretty big pain to do it though. On the other end of things, if you're half decent with a linux terminal (or willing to learn a bit), ADB will be your best friend here.
EDIT: Also unless you mess something up internally or do something really wrong flashing it, it won't just die on you.

and when replaced ...turn on the device en you'll see that NOTHING of data,pics,music etc. is lost...

Hi, I had the same issue few months ago. At that time, I found that you can buy a replacement display on e-bay, but most users claimed it was not an AMOLED display.
Also, in my case, I was not able to connect to the phone by ADB.
For those reasons I then decided to send the phone to the Samsung repair center. The only problem was that they wiped the phone (they did a factory reset). However, I didn't loose any picture I have saved on the phone. The phone is happily working and running CM10 nightlies
regards,
marco
I have a broken touchscreen (still works but is badly scatert)
So can i only replace touchscreen?
So not can i just put a new lcd with touchscreen on it. (I have amoled one is it posible to put lcd on it?) Because i know amoled is a pain to.findd parts.
Dear all,
My glass broke from my S5830 and was still working. So i ordered a new digitizer. After replacing the digitizer is responding VERY bad and half so i replaced with old broken one and it worked.After ordering new one same problem.
Could i supplied a screen for the s5830i instead? Since they fit exactly?
Mmm, I wouldn't, rather look for a better one for the S5830?
Anyway, try the new one and mod the build.prop to make the screen more sensitive?

Well i need to press it alot of times Upperscreen and holding the bar when respo0nding i can drag it down to middle. After that it drops down itself. Down part of screen not responding at all on both new screens.
Old screen worked 100% accurate. Now i buyed a other screen somewhere else and it works. still i want to know what is wrong
hey guys, so i have the LG Optimus 2X, P990-HN, i'm with Fido (doubt it matters) anyway, there was a large crack in my screen, and i just dealt with it for a long time, but eventually the glass FELL OUT, the rest of it worked, but i couldn't leave it, so i ordered a new Digitizer from DealExtreme.com and it was about $50 CAD, reviews tell me it worked, googled it nobody else had complaints, so i doubt it's a fake or anything, all the way from singapore, i put it in and i can see everything clearly through it, beautiful, but zero response from the touch screen. none at all in any area, what could it be? also, if i take the screen out to re-seat it do i need to apply heat and completely remove it, and if so will that make it garbage and need a new one? will the heat kill it? i'm quite upset because it costed 50 bucks and took a long time to get here, and i finally put it in and it doesn't work, all help appreciated!
Have you tried the service center ? One probable way to check if the new one really works is to connect the old one back and see if touch works.. You might have accidentally pulled out some other connection .. just my guess

if i take off thte new screen with a hair dryer, will that ruin the screen though?
Not sure about that . Is the new screen stuck on to the device like a sticker ? I recall seeing some YouTube videos on Optimus 2x surgery

yes i ordered a digitizer though, replace it and it didnt work, what the hell could it be i just dont understand, and i can do it myself but i don't know the problem
I have done this twice with OK success. It is important to connect all electronics correctly - check YouTube for guides. But even if you did all correct be digitiser might be defect. Either you being it to service centre or redo digitiser install. Maybe, you can check before closing the phone, and if not working correctly check with your old digitiser. Heating and reheating should be no problem (although nothing is without risk). Good luck.

hey, thanks for helping me out. i think the digitizer MUST be defective, i took it apart and put the old SHATTERED one in, and it works FINE, aside from you know... being shattered. then i plugged the other NEW one in, and no response from the touchscreen. the ribbon wire looks to be fine, the connection to the logic board was fine, everything was hooked up right (or the other one wouldn't have worked right?) so if i cant SEE anything wrong with a digitizer, what could even be wrong with it, it MUST be defective, but what can really be defective about a digitizer? what can go wrong on something with so little to break...?
Don't know what is wrong, but it must have been defect before you got it. Try to return it to the seller/shop as soon as possible and get your money back.

I've been having problems with the sensitivity of the top 2mm of my phone's screen. I don't remember when it started but I think it was around a couple of months ago.
Before, it was only difficult for me to swipe the notification bar down, but now, I can no longer swipe it down unless I rotate the screen.
I don't remember how or exactly when it started, but I remember that I was using ARHD 70.0, then I updated to 71.1 in attempt to fix it, but it only worked for a while but it came back again. I also tried other roms such as MaximusHD and Eragon but still the same. I also tried rebooting to safe mode but still the same. I also used both stock and elemental sense kernels.
I updated my firmware back then to 6.06 and now to 6.07 but still nothing. I haven't tried downgrading yet though.
I tried using the line draw test and the result is found below.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I already searched xda and google but i found no solution to my problem.
It could be a hardware related issue. If it's still under warranty revert it to stock and re-lock the bootloader and just send it back.

Has your device been dropped or been water damaged? The digitizer connection from the mb could have became a bit loose.
*Edit*
I have read on a forum for the HTC One X which seems to have a similar issue to yours where a part of the screen is unresponsive. Someone suggested to clean the connector.

I dropped it a few times while in a case and only around a feet at most. It never been water damaged, hopefully never will.
I see, I'll look for it there, though I'm not sure how to clean the connector. Thanks!

I did some more research about it and people are saying it is a digitizer issue. So replacing the digitizer should fix it, but you will need to buy the lcd and digitizer together as its nearly impossible to replace them separate from eachother.

It's definitely a hardware issue. I have been dealing with the same issue for about 6 months now. When I try to swipe down to bring up the notification bar I get absolutely no feedback . If I give it a smack with my palm near the top corners I can often times get it to start working again. However, it's usually short lived.

I see. Thank you very much for the help. I think I'll just send this to the service center when I get the chance. I will probably ask them to fix the red tinted camera as well. I just hope it won't be too expensive.
You have a dead spot. Sorry kid. If updating the OS still gives you the funk, you need a new screen.
