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.

Hello, recently, my phone fell in the water.
I gave it to an repair shop named "My Mobiles".
The place looked like they "couldn't" scam people.
After two days of "servicing", they showed me the mobile.
They said that sometimes the phone wouldn't on.
The touch screen was working perfectly, someone showed me the working of the mobile, unlocked the lockscreen, scrolled through the different home screens.
They would service for another day, flash, and return it back to me.
The next day, they gave it to me.
They said that the touchscreen wasn't working perfectly in some places.
I wanted to test it, they said that the electricity wasn't there and they couldn't charge right now.
I went home with my mobile.
I charged it for a long time.
Then, when I turned it one, I couldn't access the touchscreen whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure that they replaced the digitizer with an non-working one.
But, I'm not sure how to prove it. So, is there any documentation provided that says that can identify the id of my digitizer?
I live in India, and good people here are a million-to-one.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hah, yeah.
But how do I confirm about the digitizer?
I have to confirm that I'm right.
So, how do I do that?
Or is it just better to buy a digitizer?
(I sincerely don't see any point arguing with a bunch of dumbasses in a room full of "judges")
How much would the digitizer cost and which trusted place do I get it from?
I would recommend you to take your phone to that shop once more..
They must fix any error they made..
Or it would be better to take your parents along with you..(if you are a kid..)

Yeah, I did think of that, but the previous day, the digitizer was working, atleast accessible.
But, the next day, it didn't even respond.. I don't understand how that could that happen !
They did say that "it's an motherboard problem", but the mobile is working perfectly other than the battery and the touchscreen..
And, has someone used a new digitizer, successfully?
Is there any tutorial to replace the digitizer? I did find this : http://erkinson.altervista.org/en/sony-ericsson-xperia-x8-smontaggio-e-sostituzione-display-touch/
But, it isn't mentioned perfectly how to replace it..

Why not? It shows you what you have to remove(1 and 2) to replace digitizer. Then whatever you remove you place it back, while you are replacing the digitizer.
If you are not familiar with this stuff i advise you to leave it to someone who know how to do it.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
I have received my Z1 day before yesterday, it is a great phone with amazing performance BUT
While taking some pictures, phone refused to continue, apparently it was too hot. I will post a screenshot.
Then when I connected to a original charger, xperia told me that the source is insufficient and my phone won't charge fast enough.. (i might have been playing some games, but still, original accessory). Is this ok?
I have heard that some Z1 phone have included screen protector mine did not have it. Other info I read is that there is one already installed, I can't see anything on the device though. And what about voiding warranty when removing it?
And is there a way to root phone (without unlocking bootloader) and voiding warranty?
Thank you guys for your answers and have a great day

There is a factory fitted screen protector, you can feel the edges of it at the very edge of the screen with your fingernails.
You will not void warrenty by removing it, I normally do remove it from xperia phones (Its difficult but can be done with your fingernails) but I have not done it yet on my Z1

The protector pre-installed to the screen is not a scratch protector. It is a shatter protector, and scratches easily. It is also where the 'SONY' logo is printed, and removing it does invalidate your warranty.
It is recommended a screen protector is installed over the top of this shatter protector.

I have never had a problem with this.
Infact I removed this from my xperia T as soon as I got it. then several months later I dropped the phone flat onto its face onto a metal spike and screen shattered.
I got a free replacement under warrenty and no mention of the protector being removed.
I also, have never read in any of my contracts about warrenty being invalidated if its removed.
I also keep my phone in my pocket with loose change and car keys with no screen protector or case and have neve had a scratch or anything. the only time I had an issue was when I dropped it, and trust me, the way it was dropped, and what it landed on, it would not have mattered if it was srapped in bubble wra, it would still have shattered

Thats false, removing the shatter protector that comes pre-installed doesnt void your warranty
I got the information from the Email from Sony in the below post. Did they give false information? It'd be nice to know for sure, just in case I need to remove mine down the line!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40603775
That's not an email you got from sony,
that's a post from someone on xda.
Please read your contract.
I downloaded warranty guide (for UK and Slovakia) from sony web site and I didn't found anything about shutter protector :-/
So, to sum it up..
1. Screen
- there is screen protector pre installed
- we do not know for sure if removing it will void my warranty
- it is recommended to put another screen protector over it
2. Root
- If I avoid unlocking bootloader it will not void my warranty.
- there is how to on XDA already
3. Overheating while taking pictures
- no info so far here
- am I really the only one with issue?
4. Charging
- again the only one? (happened only once, is it reason to contact telekom?)
Thank you guys for your answers

You might want to update your firmware to .534.. It fixed any heat issues for me and my phone runs pretty cool even when I took 20 shots in a row

until today, i spent 30mins playing with chrome and taking pictures and the back of the z1 got extra hot.
The camera didnt work anymore, was showing the overheat warning as you posted in here.
I wonder if this an issue with the mobile or is it a firmware problem ?

Well i am not sure, but can a phone overclock by itself? Cuz' if so than that might be the problem, if you have root you can try to download some app in google play and try to "underclock" and see if that helps, if it helps it might be that your phone is overcklocking by itself

Folks, I hate to admit it and I nearly have to cry writing this: Since a few days, my shiny HTC ONE automatically turns its volume to the maximum by itself. I clean my HTC ONE about every two days and hope that nothing happened to the volume rockers while carefully cleaning my phone with love and a small amount of santizer. How do I know that this behavior is not caused by the AOKP 4.4.2 system running on it? Well, when in bootloader, same thing happens. I just have to turn my phone slightly to the right and then the blue bar in the menu moves up all the way.
Dafuk, what happened to my awesome phone? Is it uncalibrated, are my volume rockers stuck? What to do now?
same issue here. but I found it 1 month ago. This issue happened because of app installed. Mine was happened when I installed Tango. So if you install it you should uninstall Tango and test it again.

@LibertyMarine, thanks for your hint. I hate this, but it currently seems like the only solution right now.
There are two concerns that I have: First, I rooted my HTC ONE via HTC DEV. If they recognize that, I might have to pay a huge amount of money. And second, what if I get back a REPAIRED phone with a new motherboard? It'll highly likely be unrootable..

they WILL recognize it! But they can't prove that you actually used the unlock_token binary file! You can follow this guide (I think, based on your thanks meter and so on, that you know how it actually works, but saying too much in that case isn't a bad thing). I did everything except the S ON part. And they replaced it the first time and the second time... right now,... I don't know if they accept it too... but if they didn't I will fight for my rights. And in the warranty statement is written that the warranty is void only if the issue is CAUSED by modification. And on HTCdev they also write this MAY void your warranty! But things that aren't written in the warranty statement, you didn't accept. You bought the phone and accepted only to the statement that was with your phone in the same box!
And a unrootable HTC One because of a new motherboard? I didn't here about that. I only know from people that got a new motherboard and that they also rooted it again succesfully.

I am from Switzerland and I gave it to the shop where I bought it from(Microspot) and they sent it to an official HTC Repair Center and I gave it to them on a saturday and got it back 12 days later. They said it needs generally 2 weeks.
I hope you can do something with these informations and if they want to charge you - or even to be prepared - I have a few examples how you can convince HTC that this issue is not caused by you and that this is covered by warranty.

Someone had an issue with a sunk powerbutton, like me:

Now, send them an email and tell them that in the warranty is written:
ONLY if it's CAUSED by external action, warranty is void for ONLY the part that got influenced by this cause! And also tell them that it is ridiculous and that they can't be serious saying that a few scratches and a unlocked bootloader caused a sunk power button! Tell them that this is against every human logic! Tell them that you have the right to use this warranty because the powerbutton sunk under normal usage! And this is definitly a production problem and not your fault! Describe them that you use your phone the way it has to be used!
But remember, be friendly and try to comunicate.. otherwise they won't deal.

LibertyMarine said:
Try to give them your perspective.. how you experienced the sunk powerbutton. I said that from time to time it sunk deeper and deeper. And because I was afraid of destroying something I even pressed it softer and so on.. But once the point was reached that this ESSENTIAL part of the HTC One was unusable, so I felt forced to send it in on warranty because this is definitly a hardware fault and not a user fault! Try to give them your perspective!
This is almost everything. Be rethoric(Ask questions so that they must answer Yes! Ask questions that already include the answer) For example, Isn't it ridiculus and totally against every logic thinking that you say a unlocked bootloader is the cause of a sunk powerbutton?
As long as they are humans, they have to say, yes... this is the only answer... otherwise they would be ridiculus.

Hey @LibertyMarine, here's the strange thing: To make sure that it really is an issue with the heardware, I downgraded my firmware and reflashed my ROM. Same thing happened. Then, the same night, I upgraded back to the firmware I had before. And while the issue still persisted (tested it again), I went asleep. The next morning, my volume rockers worked correctly again!
To everyone reading this thread, here's what I expect what happened: While carefully cleaning my phone, a very small drop of santizer might have entered the spaces where the volume rockers sit. I expect that it took a while until it vaporized. everyone should take a look at how to properly clean the HTC ONE. I hope that my volume rockers continue to work as they should, I would hate to be without my shiny new HTC ONE and receiving a REFURBISHED ONE after sending it in. Generally, I don't like refurbished stuff. Yeah, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer to know that the stuff I bought has never been touched or tampered with. For now: THANK YOU for baring with me and responding to this thread - I'll be back if volume rockers go crazy again.

To everyone reading this thread, here's what I expect what happened: While carefully cleaning my phone, a very small drop of santizer might have entered the spaces where the volume rockers sit. I expect that it took a while until it vaporized. everyone should take a look at how to properly clean the HTC ONE. I hope that my volume rockers continue to work as they should, I would hate to be without my shiny new HTC ONE and receiving a REFURBISHED ONE after sending it in. Generally, I don't like refurbished stuff. Yeah, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer to know that the stuff I bought has never been touched or tampered with. For now: THANK YOU for baring with me and responding to this thread - I'll be back if volume rockers go crazy again.

WOW! That's awesome! You are lucky. Thanks for your hind how to clean a HTC One! That will be very useful when I get back my One. I hope your phone won't get that issue again, otherwise, just PM me or quote me in this thread.
Have a nice week! :highfive:
hey guys, I have a really quick Q for u. Is it possible to only replace the Digitizer/Glas on the One? They sell em for really cheap and because my screen still works fine after droping it (hell even the Digitizer still works!) I hoped that i can just replace it. The search doesn't show any result when I type in things like Display Digitizer etc. Did anyone attempted this? I saw some people replacing just the Glass on a Galaxy S4 on YouTube but there are only a few really poor videos on YouTube about the HTC One.

No, don't bother trying. The digitiser/glass is fused/bonded to the LCD and is very, very difficult to separate, so you'd just be wasting your time. Buy the whole LCD/digitiser assembly, and you'll be good

They're probably torn apart for good.. Try if you wanna, but it isn't recommended. There was an article on the xda portal about this a few weeks ago. You should read that to know about all the risks involved..

Dude just send it in for repair ... if you try and repair it it's going to cost you a fortune every time you attempt to repair a part you'll destroy 3 others.
T-mobile has a Refurb you can buy for $312 cash

it's not a matter of Faith it's just facts .. have you ever separated a digitizer from glass or an lcd ? it's an 11 on a scale of 10 in difficulty
if you tried it 100 times you would get maybe one working one.
and you have one chance to get it right .. good luck
I went to a cellphone repair center yesterday to get an iPhone's digitizer replaced, and I asked one of the guys who worked there if they fixed HTC One's too, and he said "no those phones are on our blacklist, you try to fix one thing you'll end up breaking something else." I think it's best to no try to open up this device. I know how you feel though, you really want to try to fix it on your own, but I can tell you from experience, some devices aren't meant to come apart, let alone put back together properly.
Hi!
I got an Xperia Z, working perfect until one night when I put it next to a TV on a counter.
Let it stay there for about 1 hour when I tried to sleep, got up again and walked over to get my phone.
Turned on the screen and tried to unlock it, but nothing at all happened. The screen wont recognize any of my touches.
Anyone have any idea at all what could've happened? Seriously, I just let it lay on the counter, no one touched it or even got close to it, but it stille broke.
Restarting the phone wont work, and that's about all I can do. I've tried letting the battery drain out several times since it happened, but no progress what so ever.
This happened about a year ago, and now I've decided to send it to a repair company and see what they can do. But before that, hit me with ideas!
Thanks in advance

It makes sense - if your digitizer is broken then you can't do anything and your screen won't recognize any your touches.
If you can't see any crack then there might be a software problem.
You have to send your phone to repair company if your digitizer/LCD is cracked nevertheless and there's nothing we can do or suggest

No cracks at all, just one small on the glass on the backside, but that's been there for like one year longer then the broken digitizer.
Got any ideas how this could've happened then? Just laying completely still, no special warmth nor coldness, no liquid touching it or anything. It just stopped working.
Might be one of natures greatest mysteriums

Have you tried to reinstall the ROM then?
I don't have any clue about that why this could've happen

No, I have not. This would be the absolutely the last exit, since I have important data on the device.
Anyway, i left it to a guy who'd change the display for me, getting it tomorrow again.
Thanks for the responds tho!
