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 ?

Help with touch related problem

Hi guys,
My Xperia ZR started behaving abnormally some days back, I put "screentouchtest" app and found that there were random inputs on the phone which made the phone go useless... Check the screen shot attached.
So I tried to make an app that will disable only that part on my screen and I was successful at it... Check screenshot attached. I could then at least use my phone to some extent.
But now the frequency of these random touch inputs have increased and that has made it again go unusable...
Problem is that I made this app as a floating app and whenever user touches other part of the phone , touch below the unblocked area is activated.
SO now I wanted to disable the touch completely over this area...any help will be appreciated.
Sony says it is due to water logging in the motherboard and no warranty will be given.

You are not alone!
Having the same problem here. Random touch inputs on the top right corner of device. I can assure you it's not because of water log of any sorts because i have opened ,checked, dried and even tested the touch display. Its a software related issue I guess which I am not able to pinpoint or understand. I wish someone from the forum helps with it.

water logging? did your phone get wet some time? its waterproof phone and no warranty given? :laugh: screw sony in consumer court

If you think its a software problem, i'll try putting some custom ROM.

Yeah I know Its waterproof. My brother was using it so not sure if there was water logging. But when we went to customer service the condition of the mobile was not good(Plastic that covers charging port was loose) so couldnt fight actually.

Custom rom doesn't help

Sorry to say unfortunately custom ROM doesn't help either. After I installed one just to see if the problem persists, To my surprise it didn't! But after a week or so the pendulum was back to square one. So I had to roll back. I really don't know how to go about this problem I think the problem is because of a bug of some sorts which causes the chip to send signals to the display addressing that its being touched or whatever. Anyway this is just my guess. You can try installing a custom ROM for your device and see if the issue ceases. In that case my problem would be just device specific. Do share your results after you install a custom ROM :good:.

May be there is a problem with the touch digitizer under the LCD panel which is misbehaving. No software can fix it. You will need to replace the touch digitizer along with LCD screen as they are sold as single unit. Check online if you can find the parts and ask any local mobile repairer to replace it. :good:

NO Luck with Custom ROM
I put Android Lollipop (CM12 Port) and there have been no change. Looks like the problem is with digitizer, last time I told local repair shop to replace the screen they said they cant separate the screen and had no clue. But I searched and found out from youtube videos that it can be done. Now all I have to do is buy Screen+Digitizer.
As you can see the random touch strip have moved little upwards from my earlier screenshots. That happened months back. If anyone wants the app I made then let me know. It helps me to some extent.

LCD with digitizer is around INR 4000
Which app did you make? What does it do?

Where can I buy 1? Online? Link Please...
Since there are random touches on my phone, I made app that blocks this touch... Check the screenshots, I have "Show Touches" Option ON from Developer Settings. This makes all the touches show white marker... So I made app that floats over the screen and wont show any response when there are touches over that area. "Semi Transparent Area" in the screenshot - Touch wont work over that part. App wont completely disable the touch though, if we press other part of screen for that time app gets disabled...

Finally, a solution. Time for a digitizer+screen. Thank you guys.

Hey what is the app you made? I'm in the same boat but can't really afford a new digitizer....

Yep i need it too. It will be greatly appreciated if you share your app here. Thanks in advance.

sorry guys for late reply!
I am attaching the apk here...

I have this problem too but it only happens if the phone screen get wet
Some time it happen randomly but when i press on the screen at bottom and on led gently it disappear and back to normal

Thank you!
The Float APK solved the major issue of my faulty touch screen in my Nexus 4. There are two lines in my screen where the touch is not working anymore. One of them is having several crazy clicks making my phone somehow useless. By using this app, I can prevent that, which is great!
Two issues I've got:
- the textbox to set the distance from the top is located exactly in the first dead line! So I need to turn my phone sideways to be edit to click there and edit its value.
- when using the phone in horizontal mode, blocked zone turns as well, but the faulty zone is fixed there.
I'm wondering if you might share with us the source code or maybe you consider to make some improvements on it?
Thank you so much for sharing this app here!

thanks for this app solution.
I too have problem of ghost touches. This app definately helps with that and makes the phone somewhat usable again.
The only problem is that some ghost touches are continous (it's like someone presses their finger on the screen and keeps holding it there). This makes action by other touches unresponsive.
Maybe we can find a solution for this in the float app?

Source code for the app
Finally since many of you requested, here is the source code! - Stop Touch - Source Code

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.

Note 5 Ghost Typing

Hello
My note 5 tmobile variant started what I guess could be called ghost typing/touches. When I go to send an email or text message ill start typing up something and then the phone starts acting up swiping all over. Like ill hit the delete/backspace key and then it type out the letter "p" instead or maybe it'll type out tons of random letters nonstop. Also doing this on the lock screen so half the time I cant open my phone.
Tried different keyboard app didn't fix the issue.
Tried factory reset didn't fix the issue!!
So if anyone has any idea what could be done please let me know thx!

There's a ghost in the machine.

Perform an exorcism on the phone!
On a serious note, I experienced this before on my pad and old phone and an exorcism worked fine..lol..I bought a better screen protector and changed my old one and it worked great. I'm pretty sure it's the screen protector the culprit! Anti glare protectors give better results. A tempered glass will be fine as well!

New problem with the screen, horizontal line with bright pixels

https://imgur.com/a/EYhSX0V
I have this line in my screen, I try to update and restart the phone and nothing work...
This line can dissappear for a few seconds but appears again, I call Huawei and they will repair the phone, but... anyone with the same problem?
(Sorry English, I'm Spanish)
Regards.

The line isn't clear at least when looking at your pic on my tablet. You might want to post a shot against a dark background so it's easier to see.
If it's a vertical line from top to bottom that is always in exactly the same place I have seen that type of thing when a phone was repaired but the display wasn't reattached to the motherboard properly.

This line always see in the same place.
If I use a dark background this not show, because AMOLED system don't turn on pixels.
This show in vivid colors, I can't shot better photo because this is very difficult.
Sorry.

I think only a black background doesn't turn on pixels--dark backgrounds still emit light. In any case that sounds like a defect but I haven't read about others having that issue. I did read that Huawei swapped out the displays on some phones returned with LG displays and put in BOE displays. If there's any chance you have a refurb instead of a brand new phone that would make the problem you are describing a lot more likely. You could try doing a factory reset but it probably won't help. If you have a warranty you should return your phone or get it serviced.

This is not a software problem, it is a hardware problem.
I asked to my friends, and they tell me that curved screens have this problems.
I called Huawei and they will go to send me a new device.

Are you talking about folded amoled displays because slightly curved displays have been around for years and I never heard of what you described being a common problem.
In any case at least you're getting it resolved.

A friend told me that in your samsung galaxy S7 (folded amoled display) haved the same issue, but he didn't have a warranty, as I do ...
Huawei confirmed me that they will send me a new phone.
