[Q] screen touch problem

hi.
i have milestone with screen touch problem. the problem is the right side of the screen doesnt respond including the button on the right side which looks like magnifier(also there is same in google search on screen). is this a hardware problem or software. how can i fix the problem. thanks for helping

Download an app called touch test, run it and verify that portion of the screen isn't working. Also does the screen not work all of the time? Sounds like a hardware problem a few phones have. There is however a similar problem with phantom touches that is caused by not using the motorola charger.
If it is hardware, you can get a Replacement digitizer off of ebay, or a donor phone. You have to be VERY comfortable with taking apart your phone though.
I'm not even thinking, if you have a warranty you can use that, I'm of the 'if you haven't opened it, you don't own it' crowd, so self repair is always the first thing to come to mind.

[Q] Touch screen problem

I have a problem with the screen.
I can't unlock it or answer calls, it does not respond to touch
but when i connect it to the computer i notice that one half of the screen is responding and the other half is not!
has anybody experienced such a problem??
is it a software problem, doing a hard reset will solve it??
or it's a harware problem??
Thanks in advance??

Try flashing a new rom. If the problem persists, it could be H/W.

I did a hard reset but the problem still persists!
i haven't changed the official rom since bought it

Is that issue since you bought it? Since when do you have that problem? Be a little more specific..... Did you droped it ?

it happened yesterday, bought it 2 months ago.
No i didn't drop it.
the screen completely does not respond to touch but when connected the pc the right half responds while the other half does not!

You have still warranty and you can take it back for repair. So i rather to do that. Don't'do anything you've not aware of. When you root and flash it there will be no warranty...
PS: If you can make a video to see what's goin on. Coz the Sensation and the HD2 model's had similar issues.....

could be hardware....possibly could be that small ribbon cabel for the digitizer that came loose or something.....just a thougt...

Well you are not the only one to have such problem, there is a similar case here in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609250 it would be best not to do anything with your phone ,just send it to repair

anyway it was just a thougt don't do anything stupid with the phone unless you know what are you doing..... really could be software problem but to me sounds like hardware....best thing is send it for repairs they should sort it for you.....just relock the bootloader if you can

touch screen firmware?

If i boot looped and had to load the maserati .xml, had spotty touch screen response, now its just dead. Replaced touch screen, re flashed multiple times both the last JB sbfs. Still no touch screen control.
What controls the touch screen then? Where is the firmware and does it get replaced/reinstalled with flashing a .xml?
I was able to push safestrap over and after installing it, all the sudden i had access to my other partitions. I cannot get into SS because i have no touch screen but is there a good chance my other partitions are interfering with my stock rom? Is it possible Kexec that i believe is ran for liquid smooth possibly the problem? Is it the kernal that controls the touch screen? b/c it doesnt work even in SS and that is before any roms are loaded....
HELP!!!

If you have twrp installed, check to see if touch screen works there before rom loads. I am having a goofy touch screen problem in a related thread. Wondering if problem lies with digitizer controller, the little magnet sensor for the slide, or worse, something on the motherboard.

It doesn't work in twrp, plus ive replaced the digitizer(touch screen) so unless i flashed it wrong somehow, its the MB.

Unfortunately this also occurs when moisture finds it's way to certain components through sweat mostly. Not saying that's your case just a possibility

I wish i could say that i have found or will find a solution. But I cannot. this is my work phone so I need a working replacement right away, which I have now done.
i will add that my screen works about 2% of the time. i have to catch it and be lucky. Then watch that i dont turn off the screen or slide it closed again. So, it HAS to be a sensor that is messed up. Yes, it could be sweat. There is a lot of that on the side of my head these days in Phoenix!
Good luck guys with this. It is on to an S4 for me!

I couldnt output the file so i ran /proc/kmsg and copy pasted the results. Are all the init: cannot find '/system/bin/...." entries in the beginning normal? Or is that my problem? And can i get around it?

HTC One motherboard connector

so yeah, a couple of months ago I disseasembled my htc one to replace housing and swap cameras, because of the purple tint. Now, when I got all my parts together, when I open up the camera, rear camera doesn't work. I got two new daughter boards, two camera sensors one old one new and none of them does work. However the front facing camera does work. I didn't have a clue about what happend until i noticed a probably shorted out pin on the main motherboard connector. I quickly assumed that it could be the reason, but seriously, why does the front facing camera work. Could the burnt pin cause this kind of problem? the pin is on the bottom side and about in the middle if you look into the picture. If it's the case, could I replace the connector by soldering a new one. If you could drop me a link to the replacement connector that would fit.

I had same problem your camera isn't detected prob go into root explorer and see if camera module shows up their on a system level . If it does you have a software problem if it doesn't show up the cpu isn't detecting it and you have a hardware problem bad wire bad camera bad connection etc

Attaching an image. I can see camera there so i guess this is software? What should i do?

Touchscreen works w/one N6 logic board but not the other - bad logic board or?

Hope someone has an easy fix-
I have a known good touchscreen and digitizer for the Nexus 6. now I have a logic board / motherboard that works with it fine, and another logic board that when mounted, gets no touchscreen functionality at all but everything else seemingly works ok. Neither board has been rooted or flashed or unlocked.
Now the board with a problem, was removed from a phone and the owner swears the touchscreen was working before.
So, is the board with the issue clearly bad i.e. something happened to damage the touchscreen functionality after it was removed from the phone it was working in, or is it something that let's say would be cured by a reflashing of firmware (factory reset, clearing cache, etc does not fix the issue), which technically the bootloader is locked and I can't do anyway... ?
Just trying to see if there's something I'm missing before calling the board faulty. Thanks.

I would imagine that the screen is bad. Most touch screens are very sensitive... Its likely that it got broke in the swap.
