I don't know when it started but I'm quite sure that I used to be able to use the touchscreen with the keyboard extended. I am running the latest hboot and radio with the cyanogen nightlies and newest pershoot kernel.
Is anybody have this problem?
Perhaps I just need to reflash radio and hboot but its weird because it works fine with the keyboard closed.
Thanks for your help.

Your definitely supposed to be able to use the touchscreen when the keyboards out, That's how I use my phone most of the time. I think it's a hardware problem to me like some cable to the touchscreen got messed up so when you open up your keyboard it gets disconnected, but I really don't know could be wrong. Also, I don't see how reflashing hboot or the radio will fix it, as far as I know they don't affect the touchscreen at all.

As "Ianlikescake" Said its hardware not software. I work in a second hand phone shop & the most common problem with the G1 (Apart from people abusing this beautiful device) is a ribbon cable tears in the back when the screen has been opened & closed a lot.
Normally when it goes the touch screen goes completely but we have had one customer when the same thing happened to him as in your situation, We sent the phone off to be repaired & all they did was replace the cable
So re flashing the radio & hboot wont fix it, Sorry!

My phone has a problem not really similar but it still has to do with the screen. When i lock the phone and when I try to unlock it when the screen is down the screen doesn't turn on. But when I flip the screen up the screen turns on. Once I unlock the phone the screen works fine i flip it back down and it works untill it locks. So do you think it's a problem with the ribbon cable?

I think I have a similar issue. Whenever I have the keyboard closed, the screen will not turn on when you press the end-key. Only the LED lights will turn on. When you flip the keyboard out, the screen turns on and the phone is functional.
Over the next few weeks, I then realized that this only happens when the phone's keyboard is completely closed. If you leave the keyboard out 1cm or so (to the point where you can only see the spacebar), you can turn on the phone. Check to see if it works for you.

That used to work for me but now the problem got worse. Sometimes even when the keyboards out the screen doesn't turn on so I have to mess with the screen for a little bit till it works. Now I know it's the cable that's messed up. I think the reason it's like this is from repetitive flipping out the screen. I gotta be more careful next time if i can fix it.
well when im only using touch keyboard the corners and edges dont work
P,L Backspace, Go, The whole bottom, A, i
Its a common problem. I had the same. Unfortunately your touch screen is dying. Replace.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Welcome to the club, apparently some people fixed it by warming their phone, putting it in rice, or replacing their digitizer.
i have another kind of problem: sometimes the screen begins it's own life, like somebody quickly touching it (solves with on/off button).
And sometimes i touch it in some point, but it thinks, that i touch it in another.
Disappointing, but not annoying.
well it seems to be working fine now

Got the exact same problem, send it for repair. Apparently they found corrosion in my internals, though I really have no idea how liquid got in there. There is no spillage or any sort happen to my phone.
Oh well that means goodbye to my Milestone and back to stone age for awhile.
I had this same problem a week ago, and it happened all day long. It happened that my screen was wet (don't ask me how, I don't know), and now it's working just fine
Well if your touchscreen are not responding well to your touch, or if you feel that a ghost has been playing around on it (eg. "like somebody quickly touching it"), then it's a symptom that the touchscreen is faulty and it's time to replace the digitizer or buy a new phone
I faced the same problem sometime. In this case, reboot the phone may fix this problem.
If it doesn't work, I think you have to replace the touch screen.

Had one issue like this in 3 months, 1/5th from the top of the screen wouldn't respond anymore, no matter the program. The issue went away after rebooting the phone.
I am facing the ghost touch problem or the right side is not working at all. First time, it started on it's own but last night, while it was connected to the PC the nightmare began. I don't know what the heck should I do, because I don't have money to spend on new digitizer. Last time the problem was solved by letting the phone in a dry place (it wasn't dropped in water or so). I hope this time will work too... BTW, pressing the on/off button seems to fix the issues for ~3-4 seconds. Anyway, Moto sucks .

Are you sure this isn't the flex cable problem?
If it is the flex cable problem, where can be found to buy and replace? Because I am sure that is less expensive than replacing the whole digitizer.
I had the same problem, but it's more than a month that I recharge battery with a Samsung wall charger (700mAh power), it completely desappear.
One week ago I charged the battery with the USB cable and the problem reappear, desappearing only after a reboot.
It's NOT a flex problem for sure, our phone is very susceptible of current variations when charging. If the problem still remains after unplug and reboot, I suggest to try with another battery.
hi today my htc one's screen stopped responding. i noticed after i plugged it in to charge and off a couple of times, now the screen is unresponsive. i cant swipe to unlock the phone or anything. if i wait a while and leave it to charge, it will work a little. hardware buttons work fine it's just the screen itself. anyone know a fix or the reason behind this? thanks.
Your explanation isn't very clear as to when the screen doesn't work.
I've heard issues with dodgy chargers preventing touch screen from working whilst plugged in.
If the touch screen doesn't work when no cables are plugged in, it's probably just broken.
There's a service menu you can get to with a touch screen test, I can't remember how to get there, but it also has a battery test if that makes it easier to search for. If that test fails when no cables are plugged in, it's time to get it repaired.
I haven't seen this posted anywhere so I figured I would post for anyone having a similar issue with their One.
Recently my phones backlight stopped working. It would not work at boot or in the ROM. I tried flashing to stock and tried optimizing the proximity sensor, but no luck. It was clearly a hardware problem.
Not seeing any solution to this issue other than people saying it is the screen or the motherboard I decided to order a new screen.
Well installed the new screen, still no backlight. I was about to give up on it and just buy another phone, but I got the feeling that the light sensor may still be my issue. The backlight on the capacitive buttons would not turn on unless I helded down the power button to force shutdown. This meant the backlights for the buttons at least worked and something else in the phone was preventing them from turning on.
I decided to remove the light sensor from the daughterboard (opposite the power button connector). Booted it back up, and the screen came right on. The phone works great without it, other than auto brightness. The screen still turns off when against face during calls.
So long story short if your LCD and button backlights aren't working don't order an LCD or rule your phone dead right away. Open it up and take out the light sensor, it could be the culprit.
I'm going to order a new sensor and can update with results after installing if anyone is interested. In the meantime I'm using the phone without it, no hiccups so far.

hey
i'm having the same problem are you sure that it is a hardware issue and not the software issue my h/w buttons doesn't light at all and my screen stays black for some time after unlocking the phone it comes back but the brightness is too low
any suggestions would be appriciated
Mine was a hardware issue, the backlight did not turn on at all, even on the htc start screen. The capacitive buttons would only flash when holding down the power button. If ypurs is intermittent and your phone is rooted you cantry insralling an app fhat alows you to change the proximity settings, sorry, cant remember the name of the app i tried. If the app can't detect the sensor it is likely broken like mine was. If that doesnt work try a different rom.
If neither of those help it is likely a hardware issue.
i used the app both light senor and proximity sensor are working fine
any other tips that i can try

Sorry for taking so long to respond, just noticed your reply.
Did you ever get it working? If a different rom did not solve your issue maybe your sensor is just dirty. You could try cleaning it with a can of compressed air. Not sure how effective it would be, but it may help.
Hi @nsodmordex, my HTC One M7 is in the same situation as you describe, no backlight, but working. I'm going to try your suggestion of removing the light sensor, but I'm unable to find it, I'm not sure where the light sensor is.
Please, can you tell me which component is the light sensor? This is a photo of the daughter board:
htt ps://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/ALPJIMWqGsLwul5Y.huge
Thanks!
Found it... it's located behind the daughter board, at the two little holes of the front cover of the phone. I have removed it but no luck, the screen continues black, but the mobile is working good.
it seems a screen related problem, I'm going to try to change the screen and see if it comes to life again.
Drain battery
Hi all,
I also have this problem and found out that if I drain the battery completely and wait about 1 hour, it turns back on when I put the charger in the phone, if the screen doesn't turn on, drain and wait longer, if it does turn back on then power the phone. Do not wait till it has a little bit power because than it fails again and you must drain and wait again.
It works for me and I will make a video of it and post a link later.
Hope it works for you all!
Tip: use a led flashlight to see what's on the display

Than the lightsensor is broken, are the contacts on the back of the sensor 100% clean, in my case it was dust that created the error.
Is the display not broken?

The display is ok because I can see what is on the phone with the LED flash of a Galaxy S2 so I think that the display is not broken.
The backlight doesn´t turn on with the light sensor and without it either. But i can remember that the last time that it worked the Autobrightness was fine
Edit: I tried rebooting on fastboot and recovery via ADB and the screen is without backlight too
PD: Sorry for my English

In my case, if it worked it was ok also the autobrightness.
I think the sensor is broken and if you replace it the backlight comes back on (sensor is +- 10€ in holland)
Just give it shot
Have you tried the battery drain?
Hehe my english is also not very good

But as I read, if I remove the sensor and turn on the phone without it, will it work?
In this moment the phone has 0% battery and if I plug the charger i can see the red light and if i use a flashlight, i can see "the battery with the lightning" on the screen

No i dont think thats gonna work, push the power button (whitout charger) every time till the battery is really empty, than wait an hour.
If you connect the charger and the screen will not turn on, wait longer. a night is even better.
If the screens comes on then turn direct the phone on dont let it dim itself or else you can wait again.
This worked in my case but my lightsensor was dirty and after a cleanup it worked normal and it stil works.

Okay, thanks, it worked once, but with the phone turned on and the backlight working, if the screen turns off, the backlight runs away again.
can you repeat point by point what i need to do?
when you say "drain" the battery, you mean leaving the phone on till it turns off? then what should i do? wait an hour and plug the charger to see if it works right? okay, and later if the phone turns on what i need to do?

By 'drain the battery' i mean continuously turning the phone on with a empty battery till it does nothing, not even vibrate.
It must be so empty that the phone not knows its a phone.
And yes if the screen comes on just power it on, thats it.
1 drain
2 wait
3 plug in charger
4 screen comes on
5 turn phone on
6 done
1 drain
2 wait
3 plug in charger
4 screen stays off
5 drain and wait longer
that are the steps that worked for me
Thanks @Dippie83 , it "worked" draining the battery and waiting forma a night to turn it on but when i turn on and i push the power button yo lock the screen, the backlight stops working
Any idea?
Hi,
I have recently bought my tablet, in last two days my tablets acts a bit crazy, sometimes I touch a point but another point reactions
for example when i`m typing and press a word it types another word or opens notifications or even gets out of application.
How can I solve my problem?
thanks
Touch does occasionally seem to be off a bit for me as well. I keep wondering if the problem is my tempered glass screen protector and me being used to a device that has an extremely sensitive touch screen.
This can sometimes happen when using the tablet while plugged into the charger. Especially if not using the factory provided USB charging cable.

After removing the screen protector my inaccuracy issue went away. So my issue was probably different than the original poster...
