Hi all!
I've bought a Legend and the top of the screen is unresponsible. I can't pull down the status bar. And randomly when I touch the app drawer button, it pulls the status bar down. As I said, it's randomly.Sometimes, I'm not able to unlcok the screen. I must reboot to use the phone normally. I've tried hard reset, and installed some new ROMs but nothing worked. What's the solution? New digitizer? Help me pls!!!
try re-calibrating the screen.
How to do this?

Hey, I was just playing with my phone this morning and noticed a strange problem... The top part of my screen, just under the notification bar, does not respond when touched, if an app is running. For example, I cannot hit the location/search/layers button in gmaps, or the search button in market (this is only in portrait mode btw), but on the main screen, it responds just fine. This problem did not exist yesterday either, and I have already tried rebooting, and that did not fix it...
Might want to provide a bit more info if you want help.
I.e. What rom are you using, what kernel, any speedtweaks, etc.
Oops, sorry, it just seemed to fix itself randomly, but I am running CM7 1.2/MR2 radio, no other tweaks, just in case anyone else has the same issue in the future...

Im hoping it was just a fluke for you, but keep an eye on the issue, if it happens more it would sound like you could have a bad digitizer (its what controls the touch screen)
So it happened again today, not sure what set it off, but this time it wasn't just the top part of the screen. Phantom presses would happen, the notification bar would go halfway down and then pop right back up, the 4 buttons on the bottom wouldn't respond... I did a battery pull, and it seems to have fixed it for now, should I be contacting verizon to replace this one? It is a replacement of my original one (which bricked)...
Hi,
Recently, my Desire HD has crapped out during the process of changing my back ground wall paper. It restarted and some how the screen got stuck on lock screen with the screen being totally unresponsive. I can tell the device is semi-working as the top bar does all its started processes and the top lock button works (although it is with a delay).
Is there a reason why this is happening?
Any solution to it? (Yes I have gone through google for 2 hours without solution found)
If I have to resort to hard reset, is there any way I can back up my messages + things in the phone aside from programs before resetting?
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance!

there is so many reason why it happening one is the phone may be low on "RAM" to accommodate the task
If you need to back up your file you can sync your your phone to Google acct or buy Titanium Backup Pro on Market
Hi everybody,
I decided to change my wallpaper on my phone and the app seemingly crashed to the point where the power button won't turn the screen on. Plugging the power in will power the screen on, but an error comes up saying that Go Launcher is experiencing problems (force close, wait, etc). Regardless of what I hit, I'm forced to unlock my phone as usual, but it doesn't unlock. I'm stuck staring at a black screen...can't get to settings, notification bar, anything. Help please?

Hallo,
i described the same problem almost in the Desire Generel Thread but that wasn't the right.
I have a HTC EVO 3D GSM and one big problem.
My notification bar scrolls down without any touch of my side. It scrolls down a little bit and stuck there so i cant do anything at this time because of the scrolled down notification bar. To fix that i can only lock the phone by pushing the power button and relock it again as usually. But after that the same problem begins. This problem starts at monday around 12 am.
At that time i had installed a cusom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616
The Kernel which i had installed was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31376376&postcount=874
I thought it might be a problem with custom roms or something i decided to go back to stock rom, lock bootloader and unroot the phone. But the problem exists in the way i described above.
I went to stock by using goldcard and extract the rom.zip from the temporary file of a Shooter_RUU of HTC Gingerbread. After that i installed the official HTC ICS Software.
Now i installed a app of the Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=multitouchpro.tests&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm11bHRpdG91Y2hwcm8udGVzdHMiXQ..
There i can see, that i have two fingers of the display (red and blue). No Problem but after a short time two other circles came to display but i dont touch that. They are in that area of display where the notification bar is to find (with 2 circles green and yellow).
What can i do!? Is there anyone who can help me to fix that terrible problem? I dont know how i can fix that.
If nothing can help, can i give that phone to my local electronic retailer and he dont notes that the phone was one day unlocked and rooted and there was a custom rom installed?
Best regards,
Marc
Hello friends.
I just got my Motorolla Atrix 4G and im not abble to unlock it on the unlock screen, the touch just dont works at all there, even the capacitive buttons below not responding. The first day I managed to unlock it somehow after removing the battery, after that the unlock screen was working fine even when I lock the phone so I tough the problem was over and stated to install some basic apps. Like 2 days later the problem was back and now not even removing battery was working, sometimes I get to unlock it but now thats less and less posible. I read that installing an optional unlock screen could do the trick so I installed "Widget Locker" and worked some hours, then the same thing even the Widget Locker unlock screen dosnt respond. Its weird because once I manage to unlock it the touch works perfectly at all so that makes me think its a software/system problem.
Currently I cant unlock it at all, not even removing battery or anything.
The phone its used, I was thinking to bring it to a tech center on here and try root and installing a custom rom?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Bump...
Just to add... tried hard reset and didnt worked =/
¿Any sugestion? ¿Should I try an screen change?
Thanks.

Does the problem occur when you move the phone into a vertical position (moving the lock screen)?
Try turning the screen off/on by using the power button (but don't turn the phone off) ... does this help?
When you installed a custom rom did you do a full system wipe? (goto 'mounts/storage' and format pre-install, data, system, osh, cache) before
installing rom.
Hello barry, thanks for the answer.
Yes, the problem occours in both horizontal and vertical positions.
If I press the power button the power off dialog appears on screen and im unable to touch the options, holding the power button dont turn the phone off so im forced to remove the battery to turn it off.
I havent installed a custom rom yet. Thats the next step ill be covering. I toke the phone to a tech center place and asked them to install a custom rom (since I cant persoanlly do the root and flash rom proces) They just told me that it didnt fixed it, but when i turn it on i saw the same Moto Blur interface wich make me think they didnt changed the rom at all...
Sadly when puting a SIM and starting the phone the Motorolla interface screen appeared, but... touch wasnt working there neither wich now starts to make me think it is a hardware problem after all... Im not sure anymore and dont know what to do now
Sorry for the long answer and the bad english.
sounds like your digitizer might need replaced, based off of what I read. just out of curiousity, what android version is it?
Stock Android Gingerbread 2.3 with Moto Blur UI
Digitizer? Not Screen then?
EDIT: Ohh nvm, Digitizer = Touchscreen right?

Yes. Don't confuse the two, the screen has nothing to do with the digitizer, other than one being on top of the other physically.
