XDA IIi Screen alignment trouble

Hi all
I have a problem with the screen alignment on my XDA IIi. I can get through the alignment tool fine and the 5 points match up correctly - however between the 5 points things can get quite far out of place. I tested this by trying to draw straight lines in notepad - the lines were very wonky, except for the sections near alignment points.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any software with more alignment points or any other possible fix.
Thanks in advance.

wow...rare case dude...never heard of anything of that kind..i guess you must have dropped it or better yet try Performing a hard reset, it may solve the problem...you must have installed a program that cause it to behave this way...

bushako
and oh yeah dont forget to back up,hehe

Yeah tried a hard reset... still no luck :\
I wonder if i should open it up and have a poke around.

Before you do that you might want to read on how the early Hermes were fixed, ie sliding a business card around the frame of the screen.
However, from personal experience, I once screwed up my touchscreen by sliding a screen protector up too high, so be careful. You might just open it up and take your chances there instead
Check out a service manual if you have access.

Dude did u get it fixed..i think im facing the same problems now...when aligning the screen the 4 points match up correctly but also wen i draw something using 3rd part programs like pocket artist..id try to draw a straight line at the bottom of the screen and instead it appears curved..and when typing messages i always end up inserting the wrong characters even though i point at the correct letters...i tried swapping a telephone card inbetween the screen and the panel but it didnt make much difference...i can open it up and take a look but i dont think much can be done either...so if anyone else is facing this problem and have resolved this issue..please let me know...

yes, same as me.
whenever I tried to hit space bar, the button above the space bar will be pressed instead :-(
can anyone come up with the solution on this device problem ?

anyone got a solution for this?
I am experiancing the same problems basically I think the manufacturer installed protective screen has come loose from the hard sensor (due to use?) and so the stylus is pushing on an air bubble.
I dont know whether to cut out that layer with a scalpel (carefully or not) and use normal screen protectors that stick properly ... has anyone done this before?

Yes, you could be right relbourn, at first I was suspecting the screen protector causing this problem but
hm.. I've tried even to remove the screen protector and did HARD RESET as well but still......... the problem can't be solved :-| gees...
any idea ? instead of replacing the touch screen ?
any suggestion or similar problem with this ?

Huge problem!!!

I recieved my tilt from Amazon roughly aweek ago. Everything was going fine up until not to long ago. The screen stopped registering any screen taps from the stylus or my finger while everything else worked just fine. I reset the unit a few times hoping to resolve the issue. Nothing. THEN I made the big mistake of hard resetting the unit. Now i get to the calibration screen and no further. Anyone got any ideas? Any idea where I can take this to get looked at? i was contemplating sending it to Amazon as defective but ive already flashed the HTC Rom to it shortly after recieving it. Am I completely screwed? Help!!

you could try reflashing the original ROM

Yeah, I tried that shortly after making my original post. Still nothing. I'm curious if the cable for the digitizer came loose somehow (no idea how though) or if it is an actual hard ware issue.
I thought something was wierd when it was working though. When I used the stylus the taps were very inaccurate recently. More so towards the upper hight hand corner of the screen. Calibrated it a few times hoping to correct it but it was always slightly off still. Then it just stopped working all together.I thought it had something to do with my screen protector but after removal was still a no go.
Luckily I am still able to make phone calls thanks to the slide out keyboard. Not sure if it rings or anything when I recieve one though. Still stuck at the calibration screen Any other ideas?
What size star key is needed to disassemble the tilt/tytn II? I may try taking a look inside to see whats up.

If you're stuck at the calibration screen after a hard reset, how are you able to receive calls? Surely the reset hasn't completed?!?
Also, if you have reflashed to the original ROM, and thats now stuck also, then it has least got the correct ROM image on the device, thus allowing you to return it for a replacement.
Still a little confused about how you're able to use it at all though...

i honestly though it wierd myself. after flashing back to the original rom. at the calibration screen if i slide out the keyboard, press the talk button , close then reopen the keyboard, it lets me dial out using the number keys on the keyboard.
I can actually make out the home page behind the calibration screen as the screen reorientates itself.
edited Well I've no idea what just happened but the screen just stared working again out of the blue. My dog jumped on the bed n stepped on it ant the cursor moved. Very weird. Damn I'm lucky. lol Thanks for the input guys. Lets just hope it doesn't happen again XD

return it ..

I agree, sounds like a loose connection somewhere

Could be grit between the screen and frame
One of my friends had an XDA Orbit and he had this problem. It turned out it was a crumb or piece of grit wedged between the frame of the phone and the screen causing the screen to be permanently pressed at that point. He used some fine implement (maybe a pin - can't remember) to dig it out. If this was the problem with your phone that may explain why it suddenly started working viz the bit of grit became dislodged by itself.
Cheers,
Ashley

Some problems with Note 5?

I'm having some strange problems that my girlfriend who also has a Note 5 has not encountered.
Sometimes, my top left side of the screen won't work? Or if there is functionality I mean. For example, in messages, when you're in a message sometimes I can't click the top left to go back to the list of messages? A restart seems to fix this, however, I didn't pay for a phone not to work.
Any ideas? I'm planning on getting another Note 5 and then returning this one.

Just a bit of an update I guess. It just stopped working, the top left hand side of the screen. I tried pressing harder and it didn't work. I couldn't pull down the notification bar until I moved toward the top middle of the screen.
After a bit of just using my phone, the top left is working like normal. Anyone have any idea as to what is happening?

I read something somewhere that if you disable Facebook Messenger then the problem would go away... try that does it work?

@aukyew seems to be having the same problem as you. He has a thread on the second page of this section. You might PM him and see if he has found a fix.

Are you saying as in like the chat heads? My girlfriend has the messenger enabled and like chat heads and what not and it always works for her. So maybe not that.

Thank you, I'll give that a look.

I'm facing the same problem with my note 5. I actually observed three different spots on screen where it sometimes goes dead (3 dead spots on screen). The spot keeps changing the positions. The most common spot which goes dead is the the bottom right part. I couldn't type letter L on my SwiftKey keyboard. One spot is same as you mentioned that it top left of the screen. The third spot is at the letter Q on the keyboard. I couldn't find out the exact solution for that. I'll try disabling the messenger chat heads and see whether it's work or not.

Do any of you have screen protectors on?

Yeah, tampered glass.

I have had problems in the past with cheap tampered glass protectors and screen not working in random spots. It wasn't a note 5 though. I think it was something with the curve of the Nokia Lumia. Id try it without any screen protectors first

It has nothing to do with the tampered glass. I removed my tampered glass but there are still dead spots on the screen. Also, the screen was working fine sometimes even with the screen protector on.

Yeah I had this problem too but after a while it just went away

I removed tampered glass and since then I didn't face this problem. I think that was just because of screen protector.

Partial Touch Issue

Hi
I am using HTC One M7 from last 6 months. I bought it new and never had any issue so far.
i tried to draw something but i am unable to draw horizontal lines in the RED MARKED AREA of the screen. I can draw vertical lines easily. I even tried it in other app but i am unable to use this touch screen area for horizontal lines. Sometimes i face touch issues at this marked place in different apps. Please tell me any solution.
A glass protector is applied on screen and its very neat.and I have done factory reset as well.
thanks.

looks like a faulty digityzer, you'll need to replace it

Even if its real, its not a permanent fix, only replacing the digityzer is. Its not something really rare.

Ghost touch on top edge

Hello. Since few weeks I have extreme problem with ghost touch issue on Just top of the screen where the notifications are. I've turned on the programist options in order to see where it happens.
It looks like multiple ghost touch on the top edge on hole width. Sometimes the area respond to my touch, but most of the Time does not.
Happens random, case or screen protector is not the problem, tried all the options.
I have found some solutions from pocophone, but neither of them works.
Disabling gestures, miui optimalization, screenshot gestures, non.
Tried factory reset, updating to miui 11, nothing improved. After factory reset no problem for 1 day, not sure if there is a correlation.
I Will try to record the problem when it Will happen again.
Do you have any advice? I have warranty but at this moment would like to try all avaible solutions. Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Here is my video how it looks

ooooh man, finally someone with the same problem, and cant find why its happening
it happens randomly, but when its happening the only way i can stop it is tighting it as if choking it. i dont want to send it to warranty.....

Well I am going to send it to warranty next week. I dont like the fact that I Will he without the Phone for a month, but hope they Will change the screen and it Will be fine.
My first xiaomi, always had Samsung and everything was alright. Phone in overal is great but I am very disappointed with this issue.

Im the same, just noticed, after 2 days without issues that i was recording a telegram audio and it happend, idk its kinda clueless always

Man, definetly it has something to do with software, just a few moments before posting this i had the issue and it didnt want to leave so i had to restart the phone, first time this way.

Guys I found out what's causing the issue!!! It's not software or hardware. If you have the original Xiaomi case that comes with the phone it causes the ghost touches! I tried removing it 2 times and each time I put it on I experience the ghost touches and each time I remove it they stop for 1+ day which means that the case is causing them. My guess is that tiny particles are stuck between the case and the phone making it do this.

had this on my previous phone, had to rma it

Just found i had a spigen clear case(bulky) and since i got back to Xiaomi's case it is happening a lot less than before.

My problem happens even without the case, and I used Nillkin Nature. Phone is in service currently. When it gets back I will tell you

Lol, how can this be? I believe you, though.
But oem case doesn't even touch the screen properly.

Any update on your phone? Touchscreen problem solved?

Problem arrive when using 3 finger swipe for screenshoot. there is solution on net about this problem, instead 3 finger swipe just use power buton and vo- for screen shoot

Ho boy, Looks like this is a common issue, I thought it's just me and I had to live with it with this ghost touch, Particularly when dragging the notification screen and clicking on the settings it won't respond had to do multiple times. S/W update, reset nothing helped. Last week one genius broke my screen and I had to spend and replace it. After replacing the screen I'm not noticing this issue anymore.

As I wrote, tried everything, also disabling screenshot gesture. Problem is hardware, after warranty screen replacement everything is working fine.
At first also had problem with dragging down notifications bar, screen was not responding. Then I turn on touch location in developer options and saw that there is ghost touch in that part. Day after Day it became more disturbing to the point I could not use the Phone.
You can buy whole screen on Aliexpress and change it by yourself if You dont have warranty.

I hope Xiaomi fixes this for those affected. The Redmi 5 Plus had widespread problems with the touchscreen which is why I bought the Mi9T Pro. Not had this myself but I'll be fuming if it ever happens to my Mi9T Pro.
I've still got the Redmi 5 Plus and it's been pretty horrific - the issues started whilst it was in the warranty period and then continued/worsened from there on out. I could kick myself for not getting it serviced in-warranty. Xiaomi essentially sold a lot of people faulty devices; many complain of ghost touching / non-responsive behaviour over on the R5P XDA sub-forum like it's a ROM bug.

I'm also facing this issue of phantom touch or ghost touch.
It's really annoying. I guess screen replacement is the only solution as I've tried almost all options mentioned in various internet sources.
Xiaomi sucks..!
