[Q] Navbar touchpoint off-set - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

I`m having troubles with navigating using the on-screen keys. It seems like the touch points are positioned slightly above the keys and overlapping other touch points making it very difficult operating the device. Appart from that the screen behaves as one would expect.
I have been on several different custom roms/kernels with an unlocked bootloader.
Now I am back to stock and have relocked the bootloader hoping that it would fix the problem - it didn`t
Anyone?

I`m still hoping for help on this one - no luck searching this or other forums for solllutions.
Cheers

I had an almost identical issue on a previous phone, only fix for me was a new touchscreen digitizer.

Try replacing your softkeys with apps like Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. Might work!

Solved - sort of...
thank for the inputs. I ended up returning it under waranty and had the digitizer and several other thing replaced. Swift and
good service appart from the fact that now it sports random reboots - and back to the shop it goes :fingers-crossed:

[Q] IncS touch screen problems

Hello all,
I have been doing stacks of reading on this issue and have not come across any useful info on the subject...basically I have a IncS rooted running Bindroid (great rom) I recently upgraded because I had touch screen issues such as unable to unlock, text input not responding, screen freeze...press the power button a few times and whallah! It works again until I go to use my phone again...this is very very annoying....I have read about grounding issues and software issues...people have reported they re did their phone a number of times and still had the same issue..
My question is, Is there anyone out there who can shed some light on this really annoying issue, I love my HTC, I do t want to have to go back to the "other side" lol
Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and please feel free to throw so e ideas out.

Have you undervolted? Too much undervolting causes such issues... Too much overclocking does too... Try a different kernel is also an option... Maybe rcmix or lordmod?

Could also be a loose connection with your screen to the motherboard. If you want a cheap fix search Google for a replacement screen its 40 dolla. I got one for my gf's incs after she dropped it and the screen cracked, came with instructions on how to replace it and the tools required, worked like a charm. If you don't want to buy a new screen there should be detailed instructions via. Google search on how to disassemble your incs so you can check the wiring.
Maybe your screen just isn't clean... Like if sweat falls on my phone when I'm at the gym... The screen goes nuts until it's squeeqy clean xD

Nah it's not a sweat issue, I have tried all of the above except for trying a dif kernel.
This phone is so frustrating to use lol I'm not going to give up until I get it resolved! Lol
I don't have that problem, but perhaps it's related to THIS.

prob in my incs

hi guys for the past one month . my phone is not at all responsive in the touch screen and in the soft buttons .. it gets stuck and I have to lock the screen and then unlock it to make it work!!! tried many roms but still the same. is my phone aged? lolzz its 10 months old!!

Hmmm, strange.. Did some Googling and found some interesting stuff. Anyway, I see that you are from India too. Take it to an hTC center, and ask them to look into it. It might be some issue with the phone's hardware. If the service center's guy is not bright enough to check if your phone is s-off, you might get lucky

Seriously stop being that naive, I also had that call problem - radio flash did help. Still having same freezing as u occur, which came and shows up with Sense 3.0+ releases. Don't worry your phone isn't even near to it's death

I've got the same freeze issue....tried replacing digitizer, didn't help. Tried various ROMS, didn't help.
Have you tried a non-Sense ROM? I thought I tried that, and it didn't help either
Bringing up an older thread, but I have found a partial solution for my screen freeze issues. This was posted on another forum, so I can't take credit.
Download SGS booster and set to optimized. Slide top three sliders all the way to the left, and bottom two sliders all the way to the right, and apply.
I seem to have way less freezes with this active.
Before doing this i replaced LCD and digitizer, new ROMs (both Sense and AOSP), and nothing made a difference, so I am fairly happy that this software has improved my phone.
Anf no, I am not affiliated, just a user that seems to have been successful with an issue by using this software. There might be other software which does the same thing also, idk.
I had same touch problem and hanging problem.
It's the motherboard problem.
I took it to HTC care center and reported the problem.
Also added a few problem on my own like..AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHING OFF..UNABLE TO ACCEPT CALLS.
They replaced my piece (except back cover, camera and battery).
Try reporting to HTC Care center. :good:

HTC One Home / Back capacitive buttons problem

Personally, I find it to be *incredibly* annoying and pretty much ruins the experience of using this otherwise good phone. I have already been to the Sprint store to possibly exchange it, but their demo unit had the exact same problem (and the employee I was talking to had also noticed the problem). I have also ran "getevent -lt /dev/input/event6" from adb shell (/dev/input/event6 seems to be the raw output of the touchscreen, some people said it is event5 on theirs rather than event6). This shows you raw data every time you touch the screen. However I noticed that when my touches of the home button go undetected, nothing is read from /dev/input/event6...so I am afraid it may be a hardware problem. I have 11 more days before my 14 day Sprint satisfaction period ends, so I'm on the fence on whether or not I should return it and wait for a better phone, or exchange it and probably get another with the same problem, or...wait for HTC to try to fix it with software.
Some have said a recent update to the Taiwan version of the One solved the problem...:

doing a bit translation from Taiwan version if you guys can't wait. not sure if I used the correct words though, hope you don't mind.

Here is the response I got from HTC:
Thank you for retrieving the information for me, [xxxxxx]. I did some research and there will be an MR update to fix this issue with the virtual keys. We do not have any information as to the date the update will be released since it will be released via Sprint your network provider, and it is currently being worked on.
I realize that not having the specific details such as the date is annoying, but we do appreciate your patience. I want to thank you again for sending me that information because that really helps us out a lot. Let me know if you have any other questions I may be able to address with you at this time.
Sincerely,

Most likely what you are actually noticing is that not all presses are registered and you are rationalizing it by assuming that you just missed the target. In reality, there is a problem with the home/back buttons that HTC needs to fix, soon.

Same here. I've found that pressing the button with the pad of my finger vs a tap with the fingertip seems to work more reliably - if only because it covers more of the screen that happens to include the tiny area that registers a button press...

I prefer to tap with my fingertip and this is rarely detected by the home/back buttons, which is SOOOO annoying. I'm debating trying to swap it out for a new one. From what I can tell the problem seems to affect EVRYONE, although many people might not notice or be annoyed by it. So the question is, is it truly a pure software fault, or is it a hardware fault that software (ie, an OTA) can mask or at least partially correct.
That's my preference as well - it has been an adjustment and one that I'm not terribly pleased with. I'm surprised the issue didn't show up in pre-release testing but I have to imagine it's something that software can fix with a remap of the area the system recognizes as buttons.

It's really not an issue with the "area", as I can touch the dead center of the home button and it still won't work. Seems to me that it is either not sensitive enough, or some other problem.
Regardless, word is that an OTA fixed this problem on the Taiwan HTC One 2 days ago, so now I guess we just need to complain loud enough that HTC/Sprint pump out the fix to us ASAP before we all return our phones.
Mines like this as well, you can hit the back button dead on and no response. Hopefully they issue a fix somewhat quickly.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Having this problem as well. My device was built April 9th 2013. I can sit there and tap on the home button for 30 seconds or more in every way possible and have no registration of the contact.
This might just be wishful thinking but for some reason clicking the app drawer icon seems to fix the issue right away making me think this is software.
Other than this the build quality and everything else seems perfect.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
HTC needs to admit they have a problem here and advise us whether we should be returning these or waiting for an OTA patch which will be coming VERY soon.
I saw some people talking about this and didn't know what they were referring to.. I got my phone on launch day and have no issues with it, that looks super annoying
Someone posted this over in the international forum. I haven't tried it, as I haven't noticed a problem with my button sensitivity, but there are others who say it works. Worth a shot if you're experiencing problems.

Navbar not responding

Hi,
1. So i was on xenon HD and started experiencing touch sensitivity issues where in lock screen did not respond or opened up google now instead of unlocking.
2. So I thought of switch over and flashed PAC and was really satisfied as I also got my GPS working. But the very next day it started to behave unusually and the home button of navbar kept on activating all by itself hence taking me out of any app or even app drawer.
Thought of it as ROM issue and decided would flash the latest version sometime later as my net was down.
3. Used liquidsmooth but the same problem of intermittent home button and back button too started and I had to switch off the phone within 5 minutes of flshing liquidsmooth.
4. Finally thought of getting 4.1.2 and hence flashed holoblur. By this time navbar went numb :crying:. Didn't respond to anything.
5. Restored to the stock ROM. But still navbar is not working.
Just hoping that this is not hardware related issue:fingers-crossed:. Would really hate to part away from this phone.
Please help out guys.
EDIT : So the navbar just started responding by itself. But still not perfect. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't.

Completely flash a stock fast boot. Issue could be kernel related. If the issue persists after a fully wiped stock flash this is a hardware issue. As is, issue sounds more like either bad settings from dirty flashing or kernel issues. The stock ROMs don't come with kernels, if your last 4.2.2 ROM had a bad kernel, same bad kernel is more than likely being used. I recommend flashing Mex Retail.

facepalm: for asking this but is there anything else i need to do ?? )
So flashed the stock but same issue. Now the particular strip of the touchscreen where navbar rests has totally become unresponsive. Hence hardware is at fault here.
So flashed PAC ver 23 and using pie controls as of now as a temporary solution. Would try and get it repaired during weekend. @Aingaran : I guess I need to change screen and digitizer. Since you broke yours can you gimme rough idea how much it will cost ?
Yup.. Its just digitizer LCD panel is fine if you get display... And the kit for replacing digitizer cost me 3770 rs... You can search on ebay.in and don't forget to get T5 screw driver and digitizer sticker to stick digitizer to frame...
