[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 ?

This may solve my problem??

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.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App

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

Help with touch related problem

Hi guys,
My Xperia ZR started behaving abnormally some days back, I put "screentouchtest" app and found that there were random inputs on the phone which made the phone go useless... Check the screen shot attached.
So I tried to make an app that will disable only that part on my screen and I was successful at it... Check screenshot attached. I could then at least use my phone to some extent.
But now the frequency of these random touch inputs have increased and that has made it again go unusable...
Problem is that I made this app as a floating app and whenever user touches other part of the phone , touch below the unblocked area is activated.
SO now I wanted to disable the touch completely over this area...any help will be appreciated.
Sony says it is due to water logging in the motherboard and no warranty will be given.

You are not alone!
Having the same problem here. Random touch inputs on the top right corner of device. I can assure you it's not because of water log of any sorts because i have opened ,checked, dried and even tested the touch display. Its a software related issue I guess which I am not able to pinpoint or understand. I wish someone from the forum helps with it.

water logging? did your phone get wet some time? its waterproof phone and no warranty given? :laugh: screw sony in consumer court

If you think its a software problem, i'll try putting some custom ROM.

Yeah I know Its waterproof. My brother was using it so not sure if there was water logging. But when we went to customer service the condition of the mobile was not good(Plastic that covers charging port was loose) so couldnt fight actually.

Custom rom doesn't help

Sorry to say unfortunately custom ROM doesn't help either. After I installed one just to see if the problem persists, To my surprise it didn't! But after a week or so the pendulum was back to square one. So I had to roll back. I really don't know how to go about this problem I think the problem is because of a bug of some sorts which causes the chip to send signals to the display addressing that its being touched or whatever. Anyway this is just my guess. You can try installing a custom ROM for your device and see if the issue ceases. In that case my problem would be just device specific. Do share your results after you install a custom ROM :good:.

May be there is a problem with the touch digitizer under the LCD panel which is misbehaving. No software can fix it. You will need to replace the touch digitizer along with LCD screen as they are sold as single unit. Check online if you can find the parts and ask any local mobile repairer to replace it. :good:

NO Luck with Custom ROM
I put Android Lollipop (CM12 Port) and there have been no change. Looks like the problem is with digitizer, last time I told local repair shop to replace the screen they said they cant separate the screen and had no clue. But I searched and found out from youtube videos that it can be done. Now all I have to do is buy Screen+Digitizer.
As you can see the random touch strip have moved little upwards from my earlier screenshots. That happened months back. If anyone wants the app I made then let me know. It helps me to some extent.

LCD with digitizer is around INR 4000
Which app did you make? What does it do?

Where can I buy 1? Online? Link Please...
Since there are random touches on my phone, I made app that blocks this touch... Check the screenshots, I have "Show Touches" Option ON from Developer Settings. This makes all the touches show white marker... So I made app that floats over the screen and wont show any response when there are touches over that area. "Semi Transparent Area" in the screenshot - Touch wont work over that part. App wont completely disable the touch though, if we press other part of screen for that time app gets disabled...

Finally, a solution. Time for a digitizer+screen. Thank you guys.

Hey what is the app you made? I'm in the same boat but can't really afford a new digitizer....

Yep i need it too. It will be greatly appreciated if you share your app here. Thanks in advance.

sorry guys for late reply!
I am attaching the apk here...

I have this problem too but it only happens if the phone screen get wet
Some time it happen randomly but when i press on the screen at bottom and on led gently it disappear and back to normal

Thank you!
The Float APK solved the major issue of my faulty touch screen in my Nexus 4. There are two lines in my screen where the touch is not working anymore. One of them is having several crazy clicks making my phone somehow useless. By using this app, I can prevent that, which is great!
Two issues I've got:
- the textbox to set the distance from the top is located exactly in the first dead line! So I need to turn my phone sideways to be edit to click there and edit its value.
- when using the phone in horizontal mode, blocked zone turns as well, but the faulty zone is fixed there.
I'm wondering if you might share with us the source code or maybe you consider to make some improvements on it?
Thank you so much for sharing this app here!

thanks for this app solution.
I too have problem of ghost touches. This app definately helps with that and makes the phone somewhat usable again.
The only problem is that some ghost touches are continous (it's like someone presses their finger on the screen and keeps holding it there). This makes action by other touches unresponsive.
Maybe we can find a solution for this in the float app?

Source code for the app
Finally since many of you requested, here is the source code! - Stop Touch - Source Code

One side of k3 note screen not working

suddenly my k3 note's screen stoped responding. about 1 inch from right corner. other part is responding. is this hardware issue or software issue? i have tried factory reset but it was futile effort. do i need to go to service center or reinstalling stock rom can solve the issue? is there any online chat support for lenovo smartphone products?

this rather seems extreme for the solutions i will state however for milder forms u can try pressing the edges of the screen and slapping the screen while its off with your palm, however not recommended but i do so anyway. you can try this in combination with toucschreen calibration software and also changing the touchscreen sensitivity values in an application. i hesitate this would really solve your problem, better contact support or hope other members can help you good luck

Try a screen touching app such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp.stest&hl=en If you find out dead spaces, take picture of it (or record the issue) and send the phone back with the proof.

Same but u can repair it!!!
Me 2 sometimes but still
The company has prefered that if the phone reaches 50degress Celsius or above the some part from the Cpu that is near camera will avoid the touch and u may not use it...
this actually happenes to prevent the phone from blasting still u can avoid this by rooting your K3 note and renaming a file in ES File Explorer...

air triggers issue

Hey guys, I've got some weird problem with air triggers for a while now..
The right trigger can be activated somehow without touching it specifically, but even if I tough the back panel of the device.. It's a bit hard to explain, but you can see it well in here:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/PZZar4gMKZdYChqdA
Is it a defect in the device? Cause it didn't happen when u got it
Bought it from giztop back in October.

No one encountered this problem?

I do sometimes have higher than normal sensitivity with my right air trigger, but it has not been as bad as what you show in your video.
My theory would be that something is getting in the way of the contacts in your air trigger. Are you able to get some compressed air and lightly blow into your headphone jack and shake the phone a bit to see if it comes loose and fixes the issue?

I encountered the same problem as you, and later sent it to the original factory to say it was a screen problem, because I bought the Tencent version and it took nearly 170 usd to change the entire screen panel.
Personally think that it is a quality problem, and some users of the standard version have encountered similar situations. The warranty should be sent to the original factory without charge.

Yes. I am also having the same issue. Need to check with service center.
Workaround solution. User dual partition. If you use it for PUBG or Freefire put the left partition to the empty place and the right partition to the appropriate button. Also make left partition touch as 1 times. This fixed the problem of miss triggering the button. Hope it works for you.

Question Redmi 9T suddenly blackout after rebooted accidentally

Help me please. Just now my Redmi 9T doesn’t want to open after I accidentally rebooted it after charging. I already tried the long press power button also the volume up and down.

Is it overheated?
Will it power on with the charger connected?

It’s not over heated. No, the power won’t open even if I tried to charged it again. My friends said that it’s dead boot and idk what that is.

Sounds like a mobo failure.
Maybe someone here has seen this before.

Someone said from a group that it’s a system failure update.

Bricked? Damn...
I don't update my 10+... now you know one of the reasons why.

You may have no other option but to bring that thing to a service center near you

@maeyyang can I ask if you updated its system prior to the incident?

I also am encountering this problem you posted. How's your phone now?

I also facing this issue.. any updates on your device?

brought it to the nearest service center, they said i have to wait for 1-2 months :/
they said that it's a mainboard's problem

I search videos on YouTube. The same issues occurred on Poco M3. They said that the issue is on the main board, specifically the power IC.The solution is just reheating the soldered IC on the board.
Here is the sample video:

That's a BGA. The heat has to be precisely controlled with a hot air station by someone that knows what they're doing. Too little heat/time nothing happens, too much you destroy it and the PCB maybe too.
These are the hardest SMs to deal with.
There's no guarantee that that's the problem and no way to inspect it without a factory test rig*.
All the contacts are underneath. It maybe another SM component that has the cracked solder joint. There are a lot of components in the power section. That maybe a common problem but not the only one...
*you can try gently pressing down on the chipset to see if it triggers an event.

I think it's better to just take it to the service center for the mainboard replacement and I heard about users who did the same method in the video had recurring problems after doing that.

Opening the back cover of the handset also voids the warranty and that's really bad.
