Strange Touch Problem - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys i have a question if someone expirience the same problem with M7
I did flash the latest Firmware to my brother M7 and ARHD 83.1 all CLEAN flash with Wipes etc.
The problem is that the Area exactly on the TOP Statusbar is not responding on touches and doesn`t work at all.
1st i was thinking is caused by bad flashing.
I did revert back and flash 5 Diferent Firmwares one after each other in case i do miss some important drivers.... but the problem is still here.
After this i did try and Reflash the ROM again the same problem.
No matter what im Flashing the STATUS BAR do not respond on touches.
for example i can`t swipe it down to see when i have notiffications.
Also i did try the HTC TEST services and when i choice DRAWN PATERNS on the screen its the same its seems like the TOP LINE where is the Status Bar is not reponding on touches.
I don`t have IDEA whats going on.... but i start to think is hardware problem. The strange thing is that before the FLASH everything was working fine... and how is posible if the touch somehow is broken ONLY the status bar area on the top to be non working.
All other is fine and response fine on touching.
Any Ideas what i can do?
or im the 1st who have similar problem.
Thanks

did you already try with another rom?

What happens when you turn the phone to landscape mode? Is it still the status bar area that has no response or is it the left or right edge that's broken, depending on how you turned the phone?

Seems like a hardware problem.
Take it in service.
Sorry!

Friend of mine had the same problem, most likely a hardware problem. Its odd though that the affected area is the exact size as the notification bar. Might have to send it for repairs

Touch Screen Troubles (big ?)

Hi everybody,
I'm using my O2X for 2 days and I notified that the touch screen seems to have some problems.
I thought first that it was due to stock rom and I switched to Modaco FR10 and after FR11 (today in fact ) same problem. I finally tried RomKitchen 1.6 with Cpasjuste kernel and it hasn't disappeared ...
My problem is that a part of the touch screen doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
And sometimes, the whole screen/touch key doesn't respond, I must lock/delock the screen I order to solve the problem.
A video to illustrate my words :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dOLL1U7JQ
And sometimes, the touch screen comes "crazy". As some lazy person is touching the screen non-stop and everywhere.
Do you think it's due to some software issue or do I need to change my phone ?
Thanks
That looks for me like a hardware problem.. Have never experienced something like that.
Only sometimes a first unlock try on pattern lockscreen fails, but second try it always registers my input..
I would go back to the shop and swap it!
Ok, I'm thinking of it too ... That's crap when it happens to himself
Do you know where to find stock rom/kernel ? I'm searching that with unroot/uninstall CWM
No response from my seller yet (Virgin Mobile France)

Touch screen responsiveness issue

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my touch screen. It works fine most of the time, except, when I tap the same area many times very quickly (like when I'm backspacing a whole message), that par of the touch screen eventually becomes unresponsive. It becomes responsive again once I turn the screen lock on and off again (the top button). I've read a few threads around with very similar problems (not on here I don't think).
I replaced the touch screen a week ago, but I've only noticed this today, so I'm not sure whether or not it's related.
I'm just running standard LG software and haven't put any third party stuff on there (apart from apps). I've done a full reset using the update utility, and using the hidden menu, but this did not fix the problem.
Here's some details about my phone:
Model: LG-P970
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35
Build Number: GRJ22
Software Version: LG-P970-V20C
Please let me know if I should provide any more information. I'm just interested in knowing whether it's a problem with the touch screen, or the phone's software.
Also, I'm new to forums and what-not, so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know!.
Ok, I've realised this is in the wrong category. Was bound to have done something wrong - won't happen again!
Thanks
Hi there,
Tell me please, does the same happen on the touch keys (menu, home, back, search)?
Also, do you have any screen protector applied?
I have said this few times in other posts..iIts a strange bug, like the touch being lost.
Its fixed easy by locking the phone, thus shutting down the screeen and touch sensor. After few seconds unlock the phone and check if it is solved, or do the process again.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, sorry I've been away for a while.
It doesn't tend to happen on the home, back, etc, keys. It tends to happen mostly near where the backspace key on the keyboard is. It happens in other places, but it takes a lot more to trigger it to happen in the other places. (by trigger, I mean if you tap the same spot heaps when writing a message it starts to happen).
Also, yes, I've applied a screen protector. The screen protector got put on about 10 hours after the new screen, but I can't for the life of me remember whether or not it was doing it without the screen protector.
Yes, locking and unlocking the phone does fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain doing this a few times when writing a long message.
I'd really like to know if anyone can tell me whether replacing the touchscreen will solve the problem, or if its to do with other hardware/software. I've since started using the CM roms and it's still an issue.
Cheers.
I have a touch-screen problem with my LG P970 (CM-10 stable)
Hi,
I have been using my lg p970 for more than 2 yrs however when I installed cm10 stable i my phone it works fine for some time then touch-screen does not response properly. When I touch in one corner response comes from other corner, especially while typing when I press one key 2-3 other keys are also pressed even though the keys which are press not even close to each other. I have install another keyboard from market this has reduce some misbehavior.
Please any one has a 100% solution to this problem please reply.
Thank You.

For me it is rom related...

My main reason for reverting back to 2.3.4. Usually occurred when receiving a call; I couldn't answer or reboot the phone. I had to pull the battery every time.
I'm not aware of any fix, save reverting back to a GB ROM.

i think its hardware issue,,if i press and hold a little while on upper screen (right beside lg logo) touch screen became normal again. but sometimes need to hold on there when touch not work again. a member on this forum call it a flex issue of the touchscreen.
anyone know how much cost to replace it with new flex to fix this issue?

If it works with 2.3.4 and not other versions, it's a ROM issue. Changing the screens probably won't help.
This loss of touch was reported by many users, and it's always a 4.0.4+ problem. Something software-wise is crashing, or there's a driver bug.

[Q] Home/Back Button not working.

Suddenly my xperia Z3 compact's Home button, back button or even the button which shows the background apps is not working. Although these buttons work perfectly when the device is locked which means nothing is wrong with the touch screen/display (at that time the call button, lock button and camera button are displayed respectively). But I don't understand why these buttons aren't working when the device is unlocked. I've already tested on "safe-mode". It didn't work. Then I flashed the device using flashtool and reverted back to kitkat. But still the same problem persists. I have attached two pictures so that you can understand my problem. Now someone please help me out.

Try to repair the phone software using PC Companion, if that doesn't change anything either, I have no idea what could be wrong.

Odd issue
Did you wipe anything with Flashtool?
I have a similar issue. I think it's a hardware problem.
You can try the service tests menu (type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer), but maybe it won't detect any problem since the affected area is in the navigation bar.
I believe your phone recognizes touches in that area when the device is locked simply because it is possible to unlock the phone by swiping up starting from points a little higher than the area where the navigation bar is placed.
The complete description of my problem is in this thread, and I've also found someone who posted screenshots too.
I've attached some screenshots of my phone (using service tests menu).
Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet, so I'm thinking about sending it to repair.

No! It just started automatically.....But then I rooted the device so that I could use gravity box and have some tweaks over the navigation bar. But nothing works!

btw....Using "Glove mode" helps a bit.....I just don't get it what's wrong in normal mode?
And I've rooted the device....used Gravity box to tweak the navigation bar. I've increased the navbar height from 100px to 110px. So. now it works somehow but only in horizontal mode. In landscape mode it's the same as before. And this thing not works when I'm running any apps. So, It's become kinda irritating to use any apps and lately the right side panel of the status bar has also stopped working. I just don't get it!

Flash a new clean stock firmware and bring it to a sony service assistance point.

Yeah, Unfortunately It's a hardware issue.....I went to the service center today and they told me something like the Digitizer should be replaced meaning the whole display should be changed. As I've got no warranty, that leaves me with no choice but to spend a whole lot of money right now
I want to answer like "you have 1 centimetre screen protector or something?" but you already repaired your phone. Hope your phone will be better and your money spent is paid off with a great experiences. And i also hope your waterproofness will not gone after repair.:banghead:

Root your device. Install Resolution changer. Open it, leave the width value same, and the decrease the height value, it will make the back key panel null, and your back key position will change. you can use touchscreen smoothly with no problem, even in any app or video player
i have the same problem. Then i use the phone horizontally, everything is ok, anywhere on the screen responds my touch. I think it is a software problem.
Same problem
Inviato dal mio GT-N8000 utilizzando Tapatalk
facing the same problem second time...
This is still a problem for me. I believe it is a software problem. I tried the screen on a game that uses the screen, Piano Tiles 2. The game menu is at the bottom of the screen, right where the Home/Back button is supposed to be. But on the game, this area actually works. Whereas if you exit from the game, that same are-- that same area where it doesnt have a problem in-game-- no longer works when interacting with the sony OS.
What gives?
I also tried updating software, a different launcher, and nothing worked so far. Its been months now and it seems to be deteriorating.
I have the same problem, too. I think it is a software problem, because in the lock screen there is no problem. Using the buttons, in horizontal mode with Sony logo on the right, works.
I'm using official 23.5.A.1.291
It seems there are a lot of devices with this issue (mine is one of them)

I sent my phone to the assistance last week, I've just received the confirmation it has been repaired but at the moment I don't have any report.
I'm asking myself if this kind of issue could start again in the future... when the warranty will be expired
If any of the capactive keys ( Home, Back and Menu ) buttons don't work. The Z3 Compact has soft-keys so you could try either of the two:
1) Flash a clean ftf, wipe everything. If it works after this it was most likely just a software bug/glitch, but if it still persists..
2) Its most likely a hardware issue related to the digitizer, you could either send it to Sony if you have warranty, or get it fixed by Sony or a black market fixer if you want to save some cash
Good luck

In your opinion isn't quite strange a lot of users have the same issue in the same range of time? This make me think to a bug, not to an hw issue.
Furthermore now also the Z3 seems to have the same...

A solution that worked for me
Hi,
I'm no expert but the following worked for me.
It seems an app was installed or upgraded that invisibly smothered the screen and prevented interaction.
1. Goto Settings / Apps / Settings (cogwheel) / Draw over other apps / Change all the apps to "No".
2. If you have installed the "Back Button" app, goto Settings / Accessibility / Back Button / Turn off.
The above got it working again - just.
Then goto Settings / Display / Glove mode / Turn on.
Worked a treat. Good luck.

I can't pull down my notification bar..

I can't pull down my notification bar.. Somebody know how to solve it?
It can be digitizer problem. Reset Your phone and if it doesn't help consider screen change.
I have this problem too. But it is only when my device is unlock. I can still pull down my notification bar like normal when it is lock
So in Your case it can be framework problem and normal reflash with stock firmware should fix Your problem.
No i think this is a hardwere problem.. Because when i try to diagnose touchscreen i cant draw upside area of mu sceeen..
Because when i am booting in safe mode this problem doesn't dissapear.
Yes, in Your case it's hardware but MarkMackonetz can try to reflash to fix his problem.
You mean flash to stock firmware.. Kitkat?
I am in slim firmware from this xda forum..
No, flashing firmware in Your case wont help. Most likely You need to change digitizer.
What is that digitizer?
Touch screen.
Chamelleon. Thanks. Ill try to reflash again. But just to let u know that i am experiencing same thing like agiss30, like when i checked the touchscreen in service test, the upper part is not responsive anymore..
---------- Post added at 04:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------
And it started when i flashed the slim 4.6 rom then the updates for 4.7, then i decided to go back to stock rom and this s**t happened.
Try ti reflash to stock rom mr mark and then report to me the result.. Thanks.
Can i resize the screen.. Maybe any app that allow you to resize the screen?
I reflash the .264 stock rom, still the same.. Then tried the .93 kitkat rom and nothing changed. The odd thing is, when my phone was locked, its working like normal(i can pull it down easily). If the touchscreen is defective, then why it is working fine when the phone is locked?

But when i use the Glove Mode in Setting>Display , i can pull down the notif bar but sometimes i need to swipe twice or thrice to pull it down.
I'm in. I have this problem from yesterday and I'm going crazy. From the lockscreen I can easily pull down the notification bar from anywhere (center of the bar, borders) but when I unlock the phone, pulling down works only 3/5 times, and mostly from the borders. From the center works only 1/5 times. Wtf went wrong with this phone this month?
we have the same problem alan and i dont know what causing this problem.. i get used to it now but on my first day, its like hell..

I like thinking that with Marshmallow this problem will disappear, but I fear that something regarding the screen is messed up.
