my diamond is crazy!!! Help!!!!

from several days ago whem i touch in diamond icons never select the one i touch!!!... It selects the icon on left or right but never the right one....
When i have a phone call i select the green icon and it turns the phone off
What can i do?
I aligned the screen thousands of times, i installed the different calibrators and nothing.
I align screen, it works well for a few seconds and becomes crazy again. I soft reset, a tried everything i remember and always the same.....

Obvious question: Did you Hard Reset?

Try a hard reset.
If that doesnt work then it sounds like the screen is screwed, get the unit swapped.

I've just installed a new rom! I think i have to swapp the unit
The problems are the same. Anything more i can do??

If you just installed a new ROM, did you do a hard reset? To me it sounds as if the calibration for the touch sensor is off. The first thing that you do after a hard reset is calibrate the screen.

So you can try to calibrate the screen, bofore doing the hard-reset.

You can but when you hard reset you just have to do it again

Also, you could check your local optician for any additional problems.
No, but honestly, a hardreset and recalibration should fix the problem. I'm aware that GNes/GSen can give some problems if it thinks it has rotated the screen, but I've never seen that occur outside programs that don't rotate the screen by themselves.
If that doesn't work, Sync it, back it up, whatever you want to do, possibly flash to stock and return it to whereever you bought it/HTC to get it swapped.

thank's everybody... I tried it all and the same. Going to swapp

have the same problem.. it wasn't there before, had the phone for 3 month.. i think it has to do with water under the screen, used it in the rain and then it began to behave this way (due to the big speaker hole maybe?) , it works fine otherwise! Any idea how to fix it? waterdamage? - guarantee or what?
I think it´s wierd if you can´t use it when it´s raining..?

How many phones can be used risk free in rain?

i don't think that's the problem. no water in my phone, rain or other....
i think it started after gsen installed...may be wrong, or else or.....

Very little chance Gsen having anything to do with it. Many people are using that (including me) with no ill effects.

Hmmm, I though I was the only one with this problem. I'm on the second unit now, the first one always do soft reset by itself after every few wake up. Now the alignment always gone off after few minutes of use. I'm waiting for the replacement unit now.
Initially I thought it was because of the ROM update I did, but even after I restore the original ROM, it still happen.
Looks like I'm quite unlucky with the Diamond .

problem solved!!!!
gone to look for assistance.
After 3.30 hours new touch screen and they sad to me new components inside.
For now all good. Till when??....
hope it was the last problem

So its a guarantee issue? - bad components inside?
It still works ok, so i wait to send it away..

till now all ok.

[Q] Galaxy S Display Rotated Upside Down. Need Assistance :(

Hi everyone...
I've been having problems with my Galaxy S since yesterday. After upgrading to XXJPM my display is rotated 180 degrees (completely upside down). Strangely enough, the touch interface seems to be working just fine.
For example, the "Phone" icon is supposed to be on the bottom-left of the screen. It is now displayed on the top-right corner (again, upside down) but in order to activate it I still have to touch the bottom-left corner right on the icon's original position.
The display is also rotated 180 degrees if I enter recovery or download mode, but the volume up-down buttons still function as is. There are times when the display will appear normal for a few seconds before rotating itself 180 degrees again.
I followed the installation steps to the letter, did everything properly, I even searched just in case other users had similar issues, but I still haven't found a fix yet (really sorry if I missed similar threads). I also tried calibrating the g-sensor, but that didn't solve the problem.
Auto-rotate works perfectly, but the screen is still upside down no matter which way I rotate the handset. The same goes for when auto-rotate is off.
Any thought will be highly appreciated. I'm also willing to make a small donation if necessary. I'm desperate for a solution

Odd. Try flashing a new rom

I did, but that didn't solve the problem. I think it has something to do with the bootloader since during startup the screen would show the normal Galaxy S logo correctly for about one second and then the display is rotated. Even the download/recovery interface is flipped.

The Good and the bad
Good news first: you are not the only one have this problem.
I have same problem after updated Nordic v. Froyo.
Bad one is I haven't got a clue how to sole the problem.
Let't belive ours has special talent which can jump twice more that ordinary ones.

try reflashing with one of the roms that has a bootloader included. search around not all do.. i know the jh2 for i9000m has bootloader..

Tried this, didn't work too. I also tried Tayutama Edition rom, actually it helps a bit. After finishing the sdcard scanning routine the screen would work just fine for quite a while before going straight back to being rotated. It is also still upside down during the entire boot process.

Found another interesting discovery. Still using Tayutama firmware, if I switch the Power-Saving Mode from Display settings off and on, the display will be reverted back to normal.
I wonder what's causing this issue in the first place...

Tried another fresh rom, still no improvement...
I attached a picture showing how the screen is upside down even in download mode. Notice how the USB port and the download mode triangle just don't match.
Any further advice would be highly appreciated

Solved Mine!
Make sure Galaxy lie FLAT(back of galaxy isn't flat)
Setting-Display-calibrate
Mine worked that way hope yours too.
Now landscape to potrate turn like cream
but added bonus is landscape turn either ways .
what a great addition.

I'm afraid that doesn't work for me
I'm glad you fixed your Galaxy S though. Quick question: did you have the screen upside down during the Galaxy S logo animation on startup?

It seems diffren kind problem
I am sorry that my solution did not work for you.
Mine did work few hours after down load Froyo.
Then problem began.
Have you tried factory reset then calibration?

Yes, I tried that and it didn't work.
Still trying different solutions right now, hope I can get a good solution soon

I have another Galaxy S in hand. The broken one still has its screen upside down. I was wondering if I can backup the bootloader and ROM of this new Galaxy S with the system working correctly to the broken one. Will that be possible?
As always, inputs are welcomed

Thanks wonbad!

Thanks! I had also problems with auto rotation, did even factory reset but did not start to work until made calibration you mentioned.

I've tried virtually anything to get the display fixed, including doing a complete rom backup of a healthy Galaxy S, and the display is still rotated. I think it really is a bootloader problem.
I took it to Samsung service center here in Bali. They said they can fix it, but they won't because I got the device in UK and I need to take it to a service center in the UK to get it fixed. Crazy...

A quick Note
==========
Just to make it clear, for any future reference, display rotation if shown when it is powered off and charging and also while booting, this is most probably a hardware issue, this can ONLy be achieved by replacing the LCD (or doing a hardware repair of the LCD) it has nothing to do with sensors or software.
Thanks.

[Q] Milestone touch screen problem???

Yesterday when i take my milestone out of my pocket I noticed that the Settings touch button(second from left) wasn't working, every other "bar" button was working fine, except that one. Then I noticed there's a vertical line, that goes from the Setting button to the top of the phone that doesn't work. It simply stopped working... Some1 Help me pliz. It' s a Software or Hardware problem, and if it's a Software problem this thing will solve my problem??

same with my phone, may be digitizer was broken

Are u using a custom Rom or the Original ? My touchscreen had a similar issue, and reflashing the ROM solved it. It took 2 flashes, but the issue is gone.
Dont know if yours is the same, but if the issue still remains, atleast it can confirmed that its a hardware issue and not a software one.

I have used CM6 on my phone, but when i got this issue, i made my phone back to 2.1. The problem is still standing.

uh oh. Looks like a Hardware issue then. U still might wanna take to the store and get it verified. Is it still under warranty ? Any possibility of an exchange ?

Havent seen any such issues.. Thanks god..

it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..
I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..
is it really true ?
please share this problem,,
thanks,,

Hi all!
I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!
I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!
Regards
Lucas

I have had good success with a combo of rice (inside a ziplock bag) to absorb humidity and/or a toaster over at the lowest bake setting.
Worked on MANY electronic devices over the years.

Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !
If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task But if you take your time it's ok !

ive the same problem, and i believe that's because of moisture. because every time when its raining except the problem with right side of screen im not even able to use the phone touch screen doesn't work at all and the phone just does something by itself! this issue started with small vertical bar from right side of screen and it growing everyday now im not able to use right side of screen till home button.
i want to know do i have to replace touchscreen or i can fix it with something to absorb humidity?
thanks in advance

Center part of Screen Unresponsive

I was flashing a rom
Left RomManager on my phone a bit longer than normal, because i had to do some errands.
The battery was near to dying but i flashed CM7 nightly anyway
The battery didnt die in the flashing process but said 5% at the first launch
I plugged it into the charger and configured it.
I was on the 3rd or so screen when i noticed something strange, i couldnt click on certian parts of the screen.
I had to open the keyboard and use the D-Pad to push the next button.
Once i was on the stock adw launcher when my phone started acting bizarre.
It would move things around and open apps by its self.
Curious to see the pattern involved, i managed to get DevTools open and opened the "Pointer Location" section. It looked like the pointers where stuck on the middle of my screen.
I locked my Phone then unlocked it and it stopped. I noticed i was completely unable to select any center part of the screen
doing so would result on selecting the closest available pixel
I gathered some data by miving my finger in a single motion back and forth from top to bottom and these where the results [see pics]
Does anyone know how to fix this
also, i tried flashing different roms with no luch

Ive got the same issue with the left 3rd of my screen! any ideas on this? did you get it fixed somehow?

Try sbf back to stock, if it's still broken I'd try to get a new phone, I had a droid do this and the whole screen would only respond for the first minute when you turned it on, got it replaced for free because I was still under warranty

Strange Touch Problem

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
