Last night i replaced the LCD screen on my wing as it had cracked a few weeks ago. Installation went flawlessly however, now when slide open or closed, the wing scrolls like crazy. For example, if I go into the calendar, then slide open, the calendar will just start scrolling through the months (to the future, as if pressing the down button on the dpad) and won't stop until I hit another button. Another issue is that the right button (directional) doesn't work unless I push it really hard.
I've taken it apart and put i tback together severla times and still can't figure out the issue. Can someone help me trouble shoot please?
one morething...i've been running the phone just to see what happens, and now it won't go into sleep mode because of the constant automatic scrolling.
please help!
My friends G1 is unresponsive whenever the screen is closed, but seems to work when sliding it open. The funny thing is, while the device doesn't perform any actions when the screen is closed, it still seems to be responding to touch. When the screen is opened again, your touched actions will "catch up" and the phone responds. This happens from recovery mode as well as in Android.
Can anyone help?
Anyone? Please?

The phone is in standby/sleep mode while screen is off, so you cant use the touch screen. You must double tap Menu to get to the home screen.While in recovery mode you cant use the touch screen cause you have to use the hardware buttons or the trackball. Im guessing you were unaware that the phone goes into sleep mode. When you slide the KB the phone wakes from sleep mode and allows you to use it.You only have to slide it when you need it not just to do it randomly.
No no, sorry if I worded it incorrectly. The screen is on and it is frozen when the slider is closed. Once you open the keyboard, everything works fine. As soon as you slide it in, the screen freezes on its current display and stops updating.

What rom are you using?
If it is a hero rom then it doesnt work while in landscape mode so you cant open the KB while on home.
Its a 2.1 ROM by Kingx
The screen behaves the same in and out of android though...such as in the recovery (JFv1.4) console. If the screen is closed, the screen "freezes", but the frozen picture is still displayed. If you slide the screen ouţand expose the keyboard, it works fine. The phone otherwise operates normally, as does the standby mode.

You need to upgrade your recovery though

Try wiping and reinstall the rom and wipe everything.Also you need a task manager cause you might have a billion apps open.
I'll try it on his phone when I get off work. Thanks for the recovery link. Do you prefer this over JF?

JF is super old and lacks many features from Amon_Ra. But it's based off of Cyan 1.4 recovery. It makes a lot of things easier like partitioning,wiping,backup,restoring roms.
Alright,
Home now with his phone. I swapped JF's recovery with RA. The issue still exists, and I'm wondering if it's hardware related...
This is frustrating. I don't know if I can fix it for him...
The problem seems to have gotten worse on its own. If the screen is closed at all, the screen will go black with a slight image shown with what seems to be an unworking backlight. However, upon sliding the keyboard open again, the backlight does not return until the device is rebooted while leaving the keyboard open.
Edit:
The backlight seems to come on sometimes when you slide the screen open...

You might wanna wipe and install another rom to see if the problem stays.There might be a hardware problem with your phone.
I've wiped and tried a couple of other ROMs but the issue persists. If it's a hardware issue, is there anything I can try to fix it?

It could be the ribbon that connects to the display.If you can find the assembly guide you could replace the broken or loose piece.But i'm not 100% on which part of the display needs to be replaced.You could ask someone at T-Mobile or at a electronics store what the problem is.HTC offers a free 2yr warranty so you might be able to get a replacement.
Bumping this to see if this was ever resolved. Having the same issue, and considering replacing it brand new, but wanted to know what exactly needs to be replaced so I can order it.
When the phone is in landscape mode (screen is flipped out). My trackball doesnt recognize my gesture when i go upwards. Like when i move left, right, down it kind of vibrates or like i can feel the ball is moving but when i move it up, it's like really smooth and nothing happens on the screen. Is there anyway i can fix this? Thanks a lot!
I have been having problems lately with my HP touchpad on CM9. They are as follow: the touchscreen goes crazy and does all sorts of random typing and button pressing. At one point I could not use it so I webOS doctored it up and then flashed CM10. So far it fixed the issue but now my corner "back" button only works when you press it on the side closest to the middle. Some other buttons are like this or do not work completely in apps. I don't think it could be a hardware issue as I have always been careful with all of my devices. Thanks in advance!
Can you completely rule out hardware issues by testing your screen using a drawing app?

I will try that now.
Update: Ok please try to work with this: In landscape look at the arrow, the width of the arrow, that entire section is not working from bottom to top. You have to almost tap on the very right edge of the back arrow. I still do not think it is hardware.
Bump, please help
I'm on CM w/android 4.2.2 and have similar screen issues... screen sometimes goes a static non-moving "fuzzy" blue... not sire if ther is any pattern to it or not, but reboot fixes it for a while.
lately I've noticed that ill get artafacts... fpr example todays google doodle viewed using stock android browser app will often produce black a d white horizontal artafacts. perhaps driver issues?

You don't say what Rom you are using but it certainly works on Jcsullins latest.
Evervolv but now i am thinking its an lcd digitzer screen problem cause nothing in that area works regardless of the rom. I never dropped the device so i am not sure why just a section of the lcd screen would stop responding..
Hey guys,
I've recently bought a z3c and so far I'm happy with it. Got this issue though. Sometimes when I'm browsing web, replying to a text or doing something else, the phone closes everything or opens the recent apps tab by itself, as if I clicked on the home button or the tabs button. This is pretty annoying when I'm in a hurry to do something, because it makes me have to open everything again. Doesn't happen everytime I use the phone though, just sometimes.
Has anyone got this issue also? Would it be a software issue or a touchscreen issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
:highfive:
Yes...similar issue with notification tray dropping down
Hi,

Did you fix the issue?

I'm afraid both of You have hardware problems with digitizer and only changing it can help.
