Hey!
I've noticed that in a few applications (or settings) i have issues with my touch-input. This is e.g when changing the default ringtone i can't just tap "ok" but have to press the "ok" button from the side with my whole finger, otherwise it won't be regocnised. Sometimes when using the keyboard, the buttons on the right side are very hard to use. That would be the "p" "l" and "backspace". Have anyone else had this problem? The weird thing is that sometimes it works perfect, but sometimes it's just a pain in the ass to get things done?
I think sometimes the touch screen can just not work properly, just luck of the draw I guess.
Has yours always been like this or is it a recent change? I am assuming its always been like this.
if it has then its a hardware failure (most likely) and will need to go back under warranty for repair.
If its a new change, then what has happened to cause it? Could just be a new rom or something causing the calibration to be off.
It hasn't always been like this. Lately it has begun to screw with me. And i don't think it has anything to do with luck, since it's always the same programs that do this. e.g. changing ringtone, accepting the google maps license on first run etc.
One could think this is a hardware failure, that's what i thought at first, but the strange thing is, that the same "area" on the screen works prefectly in other applications. I've tried several roms, but they all act like this. Perhaps I should install the stock rom and try with that.
I have a similar issue, and even more, sometimes once I am pressing the screen, the keys are starting to "dance" like the hero is trying to think which button to choose, by itself, and I am watching it, and smiling :-(
I've had it since SenseHero 1.5 and others as well. I just reinstalled the official htc rom and calibrated again the screen... but I am afraid the issue is still there, though less frequent...
Next week at the doorsteps of Orange I guess
Possibly is lag related?
Maybe the phones memory management is not working very well on the ROM you have installed and is causing large amounts of lag that the phone is interpreting touches (or not touches).

Possible, But with all the speed tweaks, task killer and stuff, maybe even the overclock widget that I started to use only after this issue appeared... don't know, have no idea how to solve it.
Now it is like beginning, with official htc rom, no additional apps installed neither contacts, and still, I have this issue.
Suggestion?
Got the exact same problem.
Almost exclusively buttons on the bottom of the screen and as you already said the right part of the keyboard (especially the goddamn backspace drives me nuts sometimes!).
It hasn't always been like this, started somewhen after flashing more than just Modaco I think.. And the severity varies a lot, sometimes I got barely any issues and then again I can't even finish an sms. Unnerving.
At htcpedia someone who obviously has the same problem pm'ed me his solution:
Your Problem with Screen
I had to wipe everything of.... installed the WWE original ROM, then re-root the phone and now working with Modacco 3.1, seems to be working ok now....think the problem was with LOX latest ROM.

I think - not sure - it startet with some lox rom for me too. Do you remember which Rom you were using when this first occured?
Well anyway, might give it a try.
I haven't tried it yet for 3 reasons:
1 - the link for the german version of the original firmware is down
2 - i don't have a windows computer, so the .exe is pretty much useless for me
3 - I'm way too lazy as currently it's not that bad
same problem
hye there, I seldomly post here..
But i got the same problem before... keyboard dances, hard to click OK... could not finish a sms without swearing F*** F***..
yep, its a hardware problem.. maybe its bcoz of the shape of the hero making its touch screen easily damage.. Not sure though..
flashed so many roms, to try to fix this problem.. thought it was a software issue.. but.... nothing..
went to HTC care centre.. and changed the touch screen (warranty, had to revert everything to stock) and now...
Good as New with Villain 3.4
hope this helps...
Oh thx guys. "Happy" not to be the only one with this issue. For starters I'll try the solution with the original rom. I think I still have some version of windows installed on one of my harddrives. If it don't work I'll have the screen changed. I'll report soon.

When you revert to stock Rom, do you need to reinstall a stock recovery as well? or is it automatic? because I reverted and when I try to boot into recovery with "power + home" I get a kind of error: the symbol of a triangle with an exclamation mark in it, and a phone symbol lies down beneath it.
Is there another way to go into recovery? or is it not installed actually? (I went back to the official RUU from htc site).
Thanks for the help.
Ok, I've just tried the solution with the stock rom. As a matter of fact, it does fix the keyboard-issues. However, some of the other random touch-input-issues still persist. I can't really see how this could be hardwarebased, since the same area on the screen works in other applications just fine.
The official rom from HTC completly restores your phone as it was when you got it. You'll have to install your custom recovery again, as you did the first time.
I had a similar issue.
A fix for this: VillainROM6.1-Full-signed.
Now, keyboard its ok.
Try it.
Only one thing bothers me with my new Mozart.
The phone does not respond directly with my fingers if it is in locked mode.
I mean, if the phone is locked and someone calls, and i see it on the screen it has to be 2 seconds for the phone to respond to my fingers.
And if it is locked and i slide the screen to unlock it, if the next second i press an icon, the app doesnt start. I have to press it a couple of times. The system has 1 or 2 seconds delay from the moment that is unlocked, to respond immediately to the user.
After these seconds, when the device is unlocked, it responds directly to my fingers, as expected.
My rom is: RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.04_5.52.09.16_22.33 a.50_RELEASE
Is it a problem of the operating system or the device itself?
Thanks.
same problem here. I miss calls from time to time, because the screen does not react

Same problem with me, i have little freeze in locked mode.
HTC 7 Mozart Orange France.
I hope this will be resolved in the update that is coming at the end of the month...
Well, i can't confirm this one on my T-Mobile Germany Mozart.
It responds at once directly after sliding to unlock and after sliding and entering key too.
I have this same problem but it is not consistent. Sometimes it responds right away and others it takes ages.
I think it may have something to do with which apps are tombstoned but I am not certain.
I have the same problem, it is not consistant though. Sometimes its fine and somtimes I cant even answer the call at all because it does not respond to my fingers when pressing answer.

i've had a similar experience as well. i try to scroll up the 'lock' screen to answer the call but it doesn't go up high enough for me to tap the "answer" button. i eventually miss the call.
ive had that happen a few time myself, but ive learnt how to not miss these calls you just have to press the power buttong to turn it off and then on again and it seems to work like nothing ever happened
Same problem. T-Mobile Germany verison of the HTC 7 Mozart. The fun thing is:
Sometimes when entering my lock code it only doesn't respond to the "4". I once even deleted the next number again, and after that the "4" still didn't work. I had to hit it like 2-4 times... :/
Press Power botton to turn off and turn on again
I also got that problem... can't swipe or unlock screen sometimes..
Mostly occur when recive call..
Only way to turn off and turn on screen for work again...
No Problem at all!!!!!!!! Everythings fine........Maybe you are unlucky!!!!!Bad series or some things like that. Good phone me say....
No problem for me
Hi all
I have an Orange UK branded HTC 7 MOzart and have never experienced this problem.
Cheers

Hard Reset
Try to Hard Reset the Phone. My Problem has gone after switching Roms. Now i have the exactly Rom which was shipped with the Phone and the Responsiveness Problem was gone. Anyhow, it takes some Seconds for the Phone to allow me to enter my PIN Code.
Maybe this is related to the problem?

I had same problem and searched on the web: lots of people say that is a hardware problem, but I don't think.
If, like me, you have the touchscreen perfect after the unlock, try to change rom (like others said).
In my experience, after changed rom with another official one, everything is smooth and perfectly responsiveness!!
Hope this can help someone!

I don't know about the one was installed when I bought the Mozart... Now I have the TMO_DE_1.28.111.03_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50U.
Found on this forum!
The one was originally installed should be German too (I bought the phone there...), maybe the previous one.
This one is smooth, fast and with long battery life...
(a pity it doesn't have italian language.. )
well, my 7 Mozart (Telstra) is going back to HTC... the right side of the screen is unresponsive when trying to unlock the device or touch buttons, such as dismissing a reminder. i'm also seeing phantom screen presses;, e,g, it starts opening different applications, goes back to home, etc. i suspect my issue is hardware related. looks like i'll be without it for 6-8 weeks...

Well... I think that's a different problem form mine, beocuse I only had the issue of the lockscreen (right, left, center part of the screen), but once unlocked, it was never unresponsive neither imprecise...
Sorry for you and hope it take less than 6-8 weeks!
Hi I have a weird problem with my sk17i sometimes my touch keys and touchscreen just suddenly stops working. and randomly works again after a few minutes then stops working, goes on and on..
I tried the following:
Different Roms even official rom
Different Kernels (X, Rage, boof's, krsh)
same problem.
I don't have warranty anymore :/
Maybe a overheat problem?Try to let your device cooldown for a few minutes...it can't stand without a rest a day lol

I already did that. I let it rest turned off overnight and turned it on morning after. but the problem persists
i think that is the hardware problem. service center is the answer....
sent from my Walkman
unfortunately i think chepoz is right seems to be a problem with the digitazer (the touch part of the screen) so i bet the fix will be to change it.
i may have found a fix. although I'm not 100% sure yet but ever since I installed the proximity sensor fix from bboof's thread I haven't got any problems yet.
Hi All,
I have a Galaxy S2 i9100 - Samsung XWLP7 [ROM] and would like to ask if anybody has the same problems.
Sometimes when I want to unlock my screen it responds to my touch on the screen but when I'm dragging it loses my touch and just picks it up as another touch on the screen.
But at most times when I try to unlock again it responds well, and when it is unlocked, I have no problems with the touchscreen or whatsoever.
Thanx!
I'm getting the same issue with the touch screen as well sometimes no response, been flashing a few roms over the weeks and its still a little glitchy maybe faulty screen will keep trying for a few days and see if i can get it sent back under warranty via stock rom, currently using dexter rom huge improvements throughout the phone great rom still got a touch issue though

I hope it's not a hardware issue! But I'm fairly sure it's not because after unlocking it works fine!
It looks like it's not sensitive enough.
Just watch your fingers when you unlock it, and dont let go to early, try to make it a straight line from begening to end, that should solve your problem, dont forget the most important thing, say thanks
Did you guys try to use any 3rd party locker apps???
Use the code given below to test your screen.....

Hello.
I have a problem. It started some time ago but now it gets annoying.
I used Ryze aka Yoda rom and touchscreen stopped working when I press button on top of the phone. I need to push i again and again and then screen works. The most annoying thing is that I have a phone call that is super important but I cant pick it up because the screen doesnt work. When I press the button 2x it drops the call. That is super f*cking annoying.
Now im using helicotper build I start to have the same problem but now my phone dont even turn on. It just stays at HTC logo. I did fresh instal about 5 times but nothing. Is it my phones fault?
I had the screen issue before when I was using Yoda ROM so I tought its ROMs fault. Now it starts to happen in other roms too. Any suggestions? What could be the problem?

This is a separate issue. Sounds like you are not flashing the right kernel or wrong hboot.

If it's happening with other roms, it's a hardware failure of the digitizer. Replacing the digitizer is the only way to fix it.

The problem is that it starts one time. Phone turns off and next time you turn it on it doesnt get further than HTC.
Probably digitizer costs half price of the phone. -_-
