Hi everybody
I did a hard reset to my phone this morning, everything worked fine, i took the phone with me to work, and there, I discovered that the touch screen would stop responding.
I tried soft reset few times, didn't helped.
Then I tried Hard reset which also didn't helped - I am now stuck on the Align Screen thing.
1- what can I do to solve it? I have tried blow trying my phone gently for a while in case some moisture got inside somehow. I also tried to clean the edges of the screen with a business card.
2- will att help me with this? I bought this phone on Ebay few months ago. the phone is less than a year old. all I got is the HTC imei and unlocking code.
Any help?

I'm sure that somebody here have an advice for me
Not sure if this'll help you, but I had a similar problem, and what was causing it was the screen protector had slipped and was squeezed between the casing and the screen itself down one side - one I removed and replaced the screen protector, it worked fine.

I have no screen protector.
what else coult it be?
I had a similar issue yesterday. I am using Dutty's v2 ROM. My problem started when I tried to enable TouchFlo. I could not get the TouchFlo to work and I did not have a lot of time to play with it. After 30 minutes, Goodlink locked the phone and when I went to unlock, the touch screen did not work. I did a soft reset and that did not help. I had to go back thru and disable TouchFlo and do a soft reset. This fixed it for me.

I just put the file there and it skipped the align screen.
The setting for the touchflo are only enabling/disabling the sound when scrolling. how can I disable it?

HELPppppp!
if you already did a hard reset, and its still not responding, it most likely is a hardware problem.
First...
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FLASHED THE PHONE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RADIO AND ORIGINAL ROM!!!
Second...
Call AT&T. Tell them you have a tilt cell phone and you need to warranty exchange it because the touch screen stopped working.
Third...
Tell ATT that you already hard reset, you already soft reset, and you have already factory reset the phone. Then tell them you have NO additional software on the phone, no installed programs, and have changed nothing.
They will ask you some questions, get your imei# and etc. etc.... then they'll make sure you still have a warrantly remaining. If THAT phone still has a warranty remaining, you should be able to get it exchanged.
Let us know what happens. It DEFINITELY sounds like a hardware issue.
I would go for the business card trick again, it surelly sounds like you have something between the casing and the screen. Perhaps you should try with an other "object" to clean between the screen and casing.

Yup agreed, i have had this very same issue, I just ran my finger nail around the edge of the screen under the casing. Even a small build up of dust can cause this issue.
Good Luck

Thanks all for the help.
I tried fingernails, business card, everything. not working
Installed 2 different tweak apps (KaiserTweak , PocketTollMan) to disable the touchflo. Both can not be controlled at the relevant areas without the touch screen. God, it's getting complicated.
Should I open the case around the screen and make sure everything is clean?

i agree with this one, i would just do this.... since you have pretty much done everything there is to do... plus if you exchange it... you wouldnt be left back on anything since you have already hard reset your phone so your would just be right back in the same place....

thats a very, VERY naughty android.
anyways, why don't you unroot your phone and send it back to HTC. its still under warranty for 10 more days atleast
They should be able to fix it for $39 (or free0
call them. that way you can experience the phone like its supposed to be experienced

you have to finger the green guy really hard to get him to go away, and if you finger him just right, then he will return every time you wipe your phone.
Hi,
Problem:
My phone isn't rooted. No other ROM installed. Not flashed. Not bricked. Works perfectly, except the touch screen is dead. I have set-up a patern to unlock, which I can't unlock... so I can't use the phone.
Is there a solution to this issue?
I don't want to install another touch screen, just delete the whole phone and not set-up a patern to unlock. I tried to search for
- RSD lite since that's the only thing I can work with and it's easy
- "unbrick" my phone
- a similar topic like this one >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845912<
No success...
Greetings.

well you can fix teh touch sreen (buy a new one and replace it - it's easy),
but i don't want to do that, I just want to disable the touch screen (no pattern lock). I actually want to format it, so i need to restart and i wills kip the pattern lock
Anyone with a tutorial?
No tutorials?
Sit down and seriously think what you are asking and what your phone does.
If you wipe phone you would need to 'Touch Screen To Start' so that option is out the window.
To get rid of the lock pattern you need to enter the lock pattern first, reason being for security.
New touch screen or nothing, sorry.
I have a similar situation. i am trying to sell it cause i bought another phone but need to factory reset or delete all the info from this one. cant even get pass the unlock pattern. its a motorola cliq. please help
You're right,... Bummer! I'm sitting down and speculating. Seriously, no work-around?
Isn't there a costum ROM without the "touch to start"?

Did it here Settings > Language and Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Calibration Tool
But still the same.. Do i need to reset the calibration?
Have you tried to reset phone? If that doesn't help, try factory restore
mine plays up. im stuck on cyanogenmod, cant go on other roms or even stock yet -.-
Basically it stops working or certain parts wont work, I would then press the power button (to put screen into sleep) and then wake it up then it's good again. very frustrating though.
I have a long pattern to unlock my phone and sometimes it won't work because certain parts of the screen isnt working. It's not physically broken I think, because all it needs it to be turned off and back on then it's good to go.

Unlock screen is fine for me.. Just when swap the Home screen it got problem. And typing. I realize it only got problem on the left side...

No. Turn off fastboot in power menu, then turn phone off and turn it on again. That should do the job. I had that problem either, but very, very rarely.

Could be a faulty digitizer :/

Probably it hardware problem rather than software, but you should try factory data reset first (settings, sd& phone storage). There is possibility that some app caused this.

Mine do have your problem as well. But My keyboard is totally driving me crazy!!!
My son has smashed his p20 pro, the screen is totally dead. I'm kind of new to this stuff, how can we get his photos videos etc off the phone? As far as I know it has stock software on it.
Thanks
Use Vysor, google it, it allows you pc/mouse access to whatever you CANT see on your broken screen.

Thanks for that, I've downloaded and run it, looks like he hasnt enabled usb debugging on his phone, so I'm still stuck
Have you tried a fone to hdmi lead in order to possibly see phone screen on a tv/monitor?

I'm trying to get hold of one now, I've been reading other threads and it seems like a good option!
With that lead you only need to enable usb debug, then Vysor all the way
