same here, i tried almost every ROMs from Android 6 (CM/MIUI/ASOP) to Android 7.xx (MIUI China, and RR...)
The touch screen will suddenly have no response until i force rebooting the phone.
However, it seems hardware-related issue, i had found the touch not work while entering TWRP (the ROM is not loaded yet).
Next step, i will try to teardown it and re-assemble to see the method works or not.

hi, i tried to teardown my phone and re-connect all connectors, but the touch screen will still be no response after a while.
does anyone have any other idea?

Its probably hardware problem, as i don't stay long enough in recovery to notice the issue or unable to notice it because all you do is press and not a lot of swipes, and another problem is that its almost impossible to buy a new original oem screen,all those sellers on aliexpress claiming to sell new screens in reality just sell a refurbished screen with very low quality, it looks like the old saying "if its made in china its
sh*it" is true, yes most phones are Chinese but they are older companies, better engineering, more experienced, yes issues like this also happen with them but a lot rarer, but here it looks like 10%off all sold phones have problem, some same as ours some worst, and i was typing this for so long, i try to type one letter, another one is pressed or none at all ?

Have you tried flashing Stock ROM ? If you don't then please give try.
earlier versions of TWRP had this issue but only in TWRP. Now it's fixed. And some devices doesn't support such custom kernel and causes problem with nav button.
So first flash thw stock rom and see if the problem exist or not.

I am currently on stock global beta firmware and still facing the same issue, no root not costume recovery and still facing the same issue, now i almost sure that its a hardware problem, like many other users that face it ?

Okay you can post this one to MIUI forum. Try submitting an issue there. Hope you'd get some solution.

I don't think there is another solution other than changing the screen, but thanks anyway

i thing this is the hardware issue, anybody can detect the problem?

While the touch screen lose response, you can press middle part of mi5 (i.e. the connector) vigorously without shutdown the phone. And then, you can find the touch screen will work again. Therefore, in my case, that indeed a hardware issue.

Can you explain this better? I have the same issue, if there's a way to fix it without reboot I want to try it, but I don't understand where/what I should "vigorously press"...

For your reference.
I had touchscreen problem at the beginning when I received it from Gearbest in 2016. It would take much time to send it back and forth so I decided to flash it with a newer Global stable rom (I think I was Miui7) by myself; after that, the problem was 95% gone, (it still happened sometimes but not severe). Lately, I cable updated it to Miui 9 Global Stable and the problem was back and severe.
I TWRP installed Miui 9 Global developer Rom - not working
TWRP LineageOS 14.1 - not working
There are no points to use LineageOS 14.1 if the touchscreen problem is still there.
So I TWRP cleared data and cable-installed Miui 9 developer Rom, and The problem is completely GONE!!!!
Maybe you could try some of the steps above.
I also change my charger from 2V to 1V output after installing, and only charge it from the wall socket. (I used to charge from the extension ones more)
I only installed necessary apps at the beginning then gradually add more.
Hope that would help!!

Touch screen responsiveness issue

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my touch screen. It works fine most of the time, except, when I tap the same area many times very quickly (like when I'm backspacing a whole message), that par of the touch screen eventually becomes unresponsive. It becomes responsive again once I turn the screen lock on and off again (the top button). I've read a few threads around with very similar problems (not on here I don't think).
I replaced the touch screen a week ago, but I've only noticed this today, so I'm not sure whether or not it's related.
I'm just running standard LG software and haven't put any third party stuff on there (apart from apps). I've done a full reset using the update utility, and using the hidden menu, but this did not fix the problem.
Here's some details about my phone:
Model: LG-P970
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35
Build Number: GRJ22
Software Version: LG-P970-V20C
Please let me know if I should provide any more information. I'm just interested in knowing whether it's a problem with the touch screen, or the phone's software.
Also, I'm new to forums and what-not, so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know!.
Ok, I've realised this is in the wrong category. Was bound to have done something wrong - won't happen again!
Thanks
Hi there,
Tell me please, does the same happen on the touch keys (menu, home, back, search)?
Also, do you have any screen protector applied?
I have said this few times in other posts..iIts a strange bug, like the touch being lost.
Its fixed easy by locking the phone, thus shutting down the screeen and touch sensor. After few seconds unlock the phone and check if it is solved, or do the process again.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, sorry I've been away for a while.
It doesn't tend to happen on the home, back, etc, keys. It tends to happen mostly near where the backspace key on the keyboard is. It happens in other places, but it takes a lot more to trigger it to happen in the other places. (by trigger, I mean if you tap the same spot heaps when writing a message it starts to happen).
Also, yes, I've applied a screen protector. The screen protector got put on about 10 hours after the new screen, but I can't for the life of me remember whether or not it was doing it without the screen protector.
Yes, locking and unlocking the phone does fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain doing this a few times when writing a long message.
I'd really like to know if anyone can tell me whether replacing the touchscreen will solve the problem, or if its to do with other hardware/software. I've since started using the CM roms and it's still an issue.
Cheers.
I have a touch-screen problem with my LG P970 (CM-10 stable)
Hi,
I have been using my lg p970 for more than 2 yrs however when I installed cm10 stable i my phone it works fine for some time then touch-screen does not response properly. When I touch in one corner response comes from other corner, especially while typing when I press one key 2-3 other keys are also pressed even though the keys which are press not even close to each other. I have install another keyboard from market this has reduce some misbehavior.
Please any one has a 100% solution to this problem please reply.
Thank You.

Any ideas?

My main reason for reverting back to 2.3.4. Usually occurred when receiving a call; I couldn't answer or reboot the phone. I had to pull the battery every time.
I'm not aware of any fix, save reverting back to a GB ROM.

i think its hardware issue,,if i press and hold a little while on upper screen (right beside lg logo) touch screen became normal again. but sometimes need to hold on there when touch not work again. a member on this forum call it a flex issue of the touchscreen.
anyone know how much cost to replace it with new flex to fix this issue?

If it works with 2.3.4 and not other versions, it's a ROM issue. Changing the screens probably won't help.
This loss of touch was reported by many users, and it's always a 4.0.4+ problem. Something software-wise is crashing, or there's a driver bug.

Sony Xperia SP - touch screen sometimes stops working after its replacement

Hi,
After having unresponsive area of touch-screen on my Sony Xperia SP I decided to buy this from aliexpress and replaced it myself carefully. It works nicely, but after some time of using the touch stops responding. It might be that when I push too much to some very edge of this touch screen causes this (but sometimes not, so it is quite hard for me to detect what could be the real cause). After that I need to leave the phone for some time and eventually switch it off (by hardware OFF button on the back of the phone), then it works again. Restarting (switching phone on and off itself does not help, looks like one needs to wait and try to use again only a bit later). Does anybody have the same after touch-screen replacement on this phone, please? And maybe how did you manage to solve?
I have already tried to flash original firmware (generic CE1) inside (this works great with another phone Sony Xperia SP) just to be sure that it is not software related.
Thanks a lot in advance

I have replaced mine too but except from one issue everything is working fine. This issue is that the touch won't work if I restart the phone without turning it off before. That means that rebooting from the recovery into system and rebooting from system itself will make the screen unresponsive until I shut it down. Then everything is working normally. It's a bit annoying but if I simply turn it off and then on again instead of rebooting I can bypass this issue. I tried it with stock rom too and there the issue still persisted.
Furthermore I can push the screen as hard as I want and it does not affect the touch responsivness. That means if it's working it will still work after pushing it hard and if it's not working (because of rebooting) it will still not respond.
So I would either suggest you to check if it is connected correctly and if it is maybe replace it with a different one.
In my case the first screen replacement didn't work perfectly so I got a new one and that finally worked.

Thanks a lot for your response.
I actually took the phone apart several times (disconnected and reconnected connectors inside there), hoping that it could help. I also tried to put insulation between the touchscreen and the phone frame, as I noticed that it was attached on the original touchscreen, but was missing on the new one. So I gently removed it, then sticked it onto the new one. Still did not help with my issue.
Which kind of issue you had with your first replacement?
The issue was that a small part of the sreen didn't respond. The second one was working fine then.
You could order a new one and test if get's better. If not simply send it back. At least that is what I would do in order to minimze the possible sources dor that error.

Thanks for the reply once again. In the meantime I have contacted the seller, also got in contact with service-man, who is willing to have a look at it.
Then I wish you good luck :fingers-crossed:

mi5 black screen issues

Recieved my mi5 yesterday and used it for about 15-20 minutes (just playing around with MIUI), turned the screen on and off multiple times but suddenly the screen wouldn't turn back on I rebooted the phone (hold power button) but nothing happend when turning it back on.
the capacative buttons and charging LED works as well as volume up and down (I can hear the volume change sound). After about 4 hours it suddenly worked again and I thought it was fixed (it was not), I booted into fastboot and unlocked my device but when I try to turn it back on the screen was dark again, and after several hours it still doesn't work.
There are other people with the same problems but I don't think anyone has been able to fix it.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, did you fix it? I thought I'd should mention it anyway.
same problem..no FIX !!
Few months ago I also received a 32gb device and had exactly the same issues you mentioned. First with MIUI and locked bootloader, then unlocked and tried 3 different Rom's, MIUI 7, 8 and Lineage OS. No difference.
IMHO a common hardware issue on some devices, mine has a LGD Display. Meanwhile I got another one, which is working fine, but have this faulty one still here, for spare parts right now
Would help if someone could state whether this issue is screen or motherboard related, so I could maybe replace parts and use or sell.
Sometimes it went completely off, no capacitive buttons, no volume sound, no reboot possible. But battery not empty. Had to disconnect battery or wait one night until it would respond again.
Also observed less black screens in warm surroundings, had more problems being outside in winter.
yesterday my mi5 died with this problem...
hope the warranty over tradingshenzhen works fine...

Want to share following with people who experienced also blackscreen issues with Mi5:
lately needed an identical Mi5 device to recover some apps from another device and decided to try with this "damaged" one from last year. Fastboot flashed Miui9, then wiped, installed latest TWRP and LineageOS 15.1. Did my backup/recover tasks. Then I just kept using the phone, because I was curious how long it takes until the blackscreen issues would appear but they didn't.
Device is working without any screen issues now since a week or so Seems like new firmware has fixed something, at least for my device.

Mi5 32gb Black Edition [Touch Screen issue]

Hello all!
So, I've been in love with all Xiaomi Products for a long time, my my phone is an OnePlus One and I can say that I'm not a newbie regarding this Android world.
Months ago I bought a Mi Pad 2 which had a strange behaviour with the screen, sometimes when I lock the screen, I couldn't unlock it. After spend an afternoon, flashing, reflashing and trying with different roms, I could fix it.
Yesterday I got my Mi5, It came perfectly on its box. After charging for a while (It came without charge) I tried to set it up. It came with Miui 7 International version, play store and play services already installed.
I notice a strange behaviour with the screen out of the box, it didn't respond very well and sometimes I couldn't unlock the screen. So I decide to Flash Miui 8 by following the Miui.com instructions but nothing changed, I'd said that I got worse.
Looks like the screen did not respond very well, after using a "touch screen test" app, I could see that the response was very poor, I barely could detect my 2 fingers and if I try to draw a line, I doesn't recognize all the movement that I'm doing in the screen.
Have you guys seems this before? Do you think it's a soft issue? For me it looks like a hardware issue, I already open a ticket with the support, but would be amazing if I could fix it by myself.
Btw, meantime I request to unlock my phone from mi.com/unlock but I don't want to touch the bootloader till I don't get an answer from support.
Thaaaaaank you!
Normally mi 5 doesnt have that issue, even i never heard that was a bug. So i guess it hardware issue, return it to your dealer

IF YOU HAVE FIND A SOLUTION PLEASE ANSWER ME
Thanks

Question Mi 11 speaker issue

Hi. So the other day out of the blue the speakers started doing what I've posted in the 2 videos attached.
It's very bizarre. At first I thought it might have been a software issue. I was running latest weekly mmx ROM at the time.
Since then I have done a clean flash of aosp ROM ricedroid. Issue is still there. So this suggests it's a hardware fault of sort.
I'm still a bit baffled with how's it come along as I've never dropped the phone nor has it ever gotten wet. Always been in a armour case from day 1. I've never messed with sound mods at all.
I did try installing viper4android after to see if it fixed it and nothing.
Anyone know what this may be? I really like the phone but I don't think it has any warranty left on it. Had it since the release of the mi 11.
Another weird thing is if I reboot the phone sometimes that solves it and speakers work fine. Then issue starts again at some point. Also if I open recents or start closing apps it then sorts itself out. Very weird. Anyway I hope someone on the forum can guide me to try and sort this or even find out what it is.
Thanks

Could be motherboard issue, I sent the phone for servicing at a local phone repair shop, they tried swapping out the speakers, but it did not solved the issue. Neither does formatting nor changing rom.

I have the same problem, I even bought the speakers, changed them and it continued, I already rebaled the processor but it didn't solve it, looking for a solution, a top of the line device.
Hello,
I have the same problem with Xiaomi Mi 11, I have installed Stable ROM with clean install.
On the other hand, I have changed the upper and lower speaker, the charging flex and the LCD and also the charging plate, which is where the lower speaker is mounted, the problem persists.
Has anyone been able to fix this error somehow?
