I installed CM7 Alpha 3 on my brother's Touchpad and it will boot but when it gets to "Welcome to Touchpad" it won't do anything. Hardware keys work fine and touchscreen works in WebOS partition but for some reason it won't work in CM7. Suggestions?
I don't know if this will work or not, but try tapping the setup screen in each corner, starting at the upper left, then upper right, then lower right, then lower left. I haven't used this, but I've read that it will take you past this screen. Hope this works for you. Good luck.
I can't figure it out for the life of me. Tried reinstalling without gapps to go straight to the desktop and still nothing :/

I've had the device for about 5 months of use, then I switched over to several other phones. The lower left corner just gets harder and harder to press down on it (and its the frickin app drawer icon area too).
Just wanted to see if this was common, and if I should send it back?
I've set it back to a normal rom and left it on a shelf for quite awhile..
Oh, and did the end of life already come into effect for this line from HTC?
I have the same problem and now the top right corner is starting to get hard to press. Weird thing is, if you use one of those drawing apps it detects the lightest touch everywhere just fine. The problem only occurs when trying to press a virtual button like on the keyboard or the ok button in the market. Its been this way on different keyboards and rom's so I dont really get it.
I had this issue... when the phone gets hot. So on hot days, when it's in the case, the screen starts acting up. It happens across roms, so my guess is that it's not limited to a particular one, and it's a hardware issue. Suggestion: reroot or adjust your clock settings to make your phone run cooler.
I had my first Eris replaced because of a deadspot, seems almost as common as a bad trackball/forever scroll

I'm having this issue. Bottom left is dead and then like, row two from the top is dead for me too.
I've got a spot on the upper right of my screen right below where install is when downloading an app from the market

I had a whole row of sensors go out right along the top of the keyboard. The touch screen continued to get worse until it was unusable. I have best buy btp, so I sent it back and received a refurb from bb.

There is a vertical area on the touch screen that is totally unresponsive. Because of this I am unable to hit c, v, f, g or t on my soft keyboard, and using the input text icon thingy have seen that it goes higher up.
Some background now.
Back in January/February, broke the digitizer on my phone. I ordered a new one from repairsuniverse. Installed, all perfectly fine. I would sometimes get "bubbles" and dust between the screens (I messed up the heat tape some.) I would use the lil plastic prybar and fix the issue without opening the whole phone. No issues before.
Yesterday, I decided to finally root, s-off, and try some mods. Before I got to it, I fixed another one of those bubble things on my screen. Went through it all, and went fairly smoothly, and installed cleanrom de. Touch screen would sometimes wig out and become completely unresponsive last night, but hitting the power button would bring it back. Went on and started downloading allot of my apps from the market, and went to bed.
Woke up this morning, touch screen was completely unresponsive. Couldn't get past the lockscreen, even after pulling the battery. I though I must of messed something up earlier when I popped off the screen yesterday (because the signs before compete unresponsiveness.) Tore the phone apart, physically inspected the cable and screen, found no visible defects, and firmly reseated the cable back into the...thingy.
Still no go. Yesterday I had only flashed the kernel for 3.13 on scotts thread, thought that might of been the issue, and flashed the whole 3.14 ruu from nils business sense rom page (because it has a fixed mainver) onto my phone. Success. The screen was working again. Go unlock>recovery>install cleanrom de again. Trying to sign into google, cant hit the listed letters above, flipped into landscape to continue. Couldn't figure out still what was wrong. I went back to the 3.14 ruu, not testing it before when it was installed, and the issue persisted there as well.
So, software? Hardware? Any ideas for fixes would be greatly appreciated.
In the market download an app like touch test and go over the area that is having problems and see if they persist.
From what you have said sounds like a hardware issue. I just am not sure what you would need to do next.

Downloaded the app, dead area all the way vertical between the 6th and 9th grid
I went and wiped absolutely everything and installed cleanrom again (like you I'm doubting software is the issue.)
Going to open her back up, maybe before it was software, but this time its hardware...I don't know...
Did u ever get this resolved I am having the exact same issue but mine is a "like new replacement".
I too have a dead zone going horizontal from line 22-24, but can still use the keyboard in that space so it's not completely dead
Actually I can touch almost anything in that section, only a few apps give me fits in that area???

Op issue is similar to mine, it got to the point where I called VZW and I am having a replacement sent AGAIN! doesn't it annoy you?
Also tried touch test and yep big void right in the middle vertically on the phone but the weird thing is that it goes back to normal after a while.
Also I re flashed thinking it was a software issue but nope.
So do you think it was the cheap digitizer or bad install?

Just to be clear, do you mean that your phone doesn't register your fingers touching the screen on the left side of the phone sometimes?
I would suggest downloading the free app "Touch Test" which shows a grid that not only shows where you are touching, but the path of your slides across the screen. If the phone begins to act up again, you can open the act and see if and where the screen is cutting out in the grid. Aside from that, it might simply be that you need a replacement and its coincidental that it was acting up along side you running a 4.0 rom.

That is the oddest thing I have ever heard lol
It really might be a hardware issue man...I can't think of how it could be the rom. I mean, sure you might occasionally
have an unresponsive touchscreen....but only half the screen working?? That's just weird Oo I'll keep looking around for answers though man
but thus far I've found very little.
Good luck

I have a video but i'm new member i can't send link to my post. I will sent to your inbox. tk
Okay, so that anyone else that happens to come to this thread is on board, here is the video that shows his problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDolJhmDog&feature=youtu.be
As you can see in the app, if the origin of the trail is on the right side of his screen, the swipe is recognized across over to the left without problem...if however the origin is on the left side of the screen, no touch is recognized until he reached the middle of the screen, at which point it becomes recognized.
I am still looking around for a similar problem, but thus far have few ideas. Typically, the screen either is totally unresponsive or momentarily unresponsive...never half and half, and especially with such weird rules. By this, I mean that obviously the left side of the device is capable of recognizing touches, since if he begins at the right side, it does just fine....the only problem is if he originally touches the left side, then it doesn't recognize it.
My guess: it could be a kernel issue.
I would try the following:
Pull battery and reboot. Take out any external SD card.
Back up what important apps or data you have and try a factory reset.
You can also try some the options below:
1. Reflashing the kernel.
2. Try a different kernel if available.
3. Factory reset and full wipe and flash a different ics or cm9 rom to see it the problem persist. You can try to isolate the issue to hardware or firmware.
4. Full reset and flash back to complete stock to see if the problem persists. If you are fully reseted and back on stock eclair or froyo and the problem persists, you may have to open up the device to check all the connections.
sometimes a bad battery may also creates some problems
Now i'm using xerxes custom 2.3.6 gingerbread. It's ok but i don't know why when i use ics. I can use half left screen

So it appears that no matter what ROM I flash on my girlfriend's Verizon Fascinate, the damn thing has issues with its touch screen. The problem is that it gets jittery or jumpy when scrolling, like it wants to scroll up and down, up and down, repeatedly, as long as I keep my finger on the screen, it does it. I've tried AOKP build 4, CM10 nightlies from 10/2 and 10/3 (10/3 actually kept rebooting into "safe mode, whatever the f*ck that means), all with full wipes, with or without Devil Kernel, and still, it's jumpy. The accuracy is pretty crappy, too, sometimes the notification bar pulls down when I touch the middle of the screen, it mistakes what I tapped, etc. What the hell is wrong with this phone??!
A.) Do you have a screen protector?
And
B.) What do you clean the screen with?
Safe mode is caused by holding one of the bottom four keys during boot. I believe its the menu key.

Yes, and I removed it. Then I wiped it clean with a static-free cloth. Still jumpy.
this is not development related, moved to q&a
So this happens with any and all roms you try, including stock? If so it must be a hardware issue, was it dropped recently or anything like that?
I flashed Paranoid Android and it seems to be a lot more accurate and responsive. No custom kernel. Stock seemed to be just fine, too. I just wish I knew what was causing it before.
Basically - if I am touching the screen on the left the TF201 reacts on the right, exactly the opposite side of the screen. I have reset the device, no luck. Googling for recalibration didn't help me to succeed either. When working with the pad on the dock, everything is fine, it the touchpoint which is not working ... Does anybody have an idea?

Did you buy the prime new? It sounds to me like you have bought a second hand one and they had replaced the screen with one from china which has the axis reversed. If you then had flashed a new rom you would have lost the edited kernel to make it go back the right way.
I have never heard of a screen reversing axis otherwise.
Any way you could post a video of this?
It happens when you replacing glass digitizer of the tablet with wrong version of digitizer(I have same problem)
Search here on forum fix inverted x-axis, also you will need to be unlocked, and rooted.
