Looks the video and comment, or give me a fix:
I'm having a similar issue - only difference is that I'm on AT&T. My power button gets extremely hot, almost hot enough to burn your finger, and the screen and capac. buttons do not respond to touch AT ALL.... I've restored my pds partition backup, completely wiped and reflashed sbf (2.3.6) restored every NAND backup I have.... nothing... Started on Saturday morning - no rhyme or reason... just POOF. the volume buttons and power button still work (although its very hot) and it boots just fine.... I'm at a loss for ideas.
[edit] this is my original Atrix 4G that I got on pre-release day... never had any issues before, never had to replace it... until now, unless anyone has some ideas that will fix this...
Bump for replies.... Any ideas here guys? I've taken my atrix completely apart since my last post... there are no broken connections or any circuits that appear "burnt" or anything like that.... I'm really puzzled...
anyone have *any* ideas at all here?
Now using Epsilon5 Rom i have no bug, calibrating in Aroma installer.
I'm still searching for answers to my issue.... I'm glad you got yours fixed.... I'm seriously confused with mine...

hi guys,
i'm having this really wierd problem just started couple of hours ago, ok so the problem is that when i reboot my phone and get into windows mobile or android everything works perfectly however as soon as i power off and wake up the phone the touch screen stops responding completely and the only way i see is to hard reset the phone again and i have no idea whats causing it i changed roms , changed radio and yet i still have this problem so someone please help me out, i don't no if the touch screen is messed up or what
because the touch responds perfectly the way it should when i reset my phone but after i power off the screen and wake up to the lock screen i can't unlock the phone b/c it won't respond to my touch after that
so please help out guys
thanks
hm... try hard-reseting the phone. but back up your data first using some backup software like sprite backup
Tried that as well no luck any other suggestion guys

I had the exact same problem, and I had to hard reset everytime, but as soon as I would press the end key it would be unresponsive. What I learned is that right after you hard reset you should only try waking pressing other keys than the end key and let it go to sleep by itself. Also did you use any EVO android builds, or Android at all, not sure if it's relevant, but that's where it all went wrong for me with the EVO build. I do find it quite odd that quite a few people are experiencing the same thing with the touchscreen and it also seems that there really isn't a solution to this. I had to send it in for a repair, and it got fixed pretty quick. Perhaps this needs to be investigated more.
i have same problem with my htc hd2
it is so annoying. i will send to repair service too..
hey i have the same problem too ! did you installed the new c0okies home tab ? because i did and after that it start it messing up.. well i did a thread yesterday about this.. the only responses i got was to send it back to repair. I just did not turn off the screen for nothing today during the whole school day it almost finisihed the whole day, it last it me about 6 hours without turning off the screen, otherwise the touchscreen becomes unresponsive.
Temporary fix/test
I just fixed it temporarily, i fixed it by taking off the battery cover and pressing down on the htc logo (below lcd) and pressure on both the front and back of the phone where the htc logo is.
if you do this and it fixes it, you most likely have a dodgy lcd/digitiser flex ribbon cable.
I know there are hundreds of threads and articles posted about HD2s freezing with the lock screen but this issue seems different to me. My problem is that whenever I lock the phone the touch screen will freeze entirely. I thought a work around may be to install a different lock screen. After installing that I can get past the lock screen but the touch screen still is not responsive. I have no idea what to do. I already did a hard reset and it still does it. I would like to add that it is completely consistent. It happens every time without fail. In order to even use the phone I have to pull the battery and I get one use out of it before it locks and I have to pull the battery again. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it..
Update: I flashed the original ROM to my phone and the freezing problem still exists.. I have no idea what to do at this point.
Update 2: Narrowed down the problem to being the physical "power/end/lock" button. If I slightly press it but not fully it will go to the honeycomb style menu with all the apps. If I press it fully the screen will go out like normal but then if I restore it, the entire screen is locked up. Nothing will work after that until I pull the battery.
I've directly linked the issue with the power button. I dont know why all of a sudden the power button would have a different function. The work around I found is while the phone is locked and the screen is off I can press the green button to unlock the phone and the touch screen will then function. If I use the power button it will remain frozen. Any ideas what happened?
Hello,
I got some bad news for you, this issue is actually related to the digitizer (hardware) not software. What i would recommend is called HTC for a repair and send it in, it is covered by warranty, hopefully you have warranty.
A lot of people are having this issue, no-one yet has been able to pinpoint the cause, but here is the link a thread with similar problem:

Thanks for the reply. I do not think I have a warranty on this phone considering I bought it privately. Ill talk to Tmo and HTC and see what I can do. Just a theory, I may be wrong. But I live in PA and its been getting below 20 here lately. I noticed today that my work around didnt work when I was outside working on my car. Then I went inside and used a blow dryer to heat up the phone and it started working again. The end button didn't function properly but I could unlock the phone with the green send button. Perhaps the cold weather is shorting out people's digitizers? I don't really know how they work so that's why i said its only a theory. I bought this phone in the spring and didnt have an issue until now when it started getting really cold.
Just starting yesterday my Aria has been acting really strange. It started when I let the battery get under 5%. At times the screen is completely unresponsive, at others it seems not calibrated right (touching one point selects somewhere else) and then sometimes it will work perfectly fine after I do a soft reset for about 10 minutes. I thought it was a software problem so I did a hard reset, but same problems. So I flashed new roms / kernals, same thing. Could it be the battery? Cpu? I thought maybe the digitizer was bad but considering the screen works sometimes could that be it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
**FIXED**
So in case anyone else has similar problems, I figured out what was wrong but I don't know why. I was messing around with it and trying different roms, so I took another microSD card I had to save time of switching them and everything works perfectly with the other one now. I had done a complete reformat of the old one so it must have just gone bad I guess?
Hi, I have a quick question.
My digitizer starts failing. I know in the end it should fails cause most of them need to be replaced but maybe my problem is different.
Most of digitizers are stop working at all or only some parts of it. My digitizer is working fine but ONLY after turning on screen sometimes it's working like using it with wet fingers - it's crazy pointing everything without my control. After turn off and on screen it's working fine until next turning on.
I'm wondering can it be software problem?? I had similar problem in Defy+, leds under hardware keys stop lighting and before sending it on warranty I wiped it and now all working fine.
It's no problem for me to replace digitizer or wipe system but it would be good to know that it can be software problem before buying new digitizer.
Maybe you need to apply the raindrop fix. Been discussed already.
First, thaks for understanding what I mean. (Very poor english)
Second, this is exactly what I ment. I just copied tounchpad.cfg from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467696 and all looks fine now. No mess up on multitouch. I hope it will stop messed up touch while turning on screen, need to test it for a while cause this issue isn't appears on each turning on but ocassionaly.
Anyway thanks for fix. You saved my time (3 hours on wiping and bulding new system) and money on new digitizer.
One more thing. I'm using this phone from few months and everything was ok. The problem appears few weeks ago. So if it is bug in rom it should appears just after I bought it, not after few months. Or maybe it's not factory bug but just error in touchpad.cfg??
Sorry for post under post but I have few more informations.
After testing few days raindrop fix the problem still exist. Fix helped but not fixed problem. Still after turning on screen touch is acting crazy but after first touch it stops and before applying fix it stops only after turning off screen and turning it on.
I reflashed full sbf stock Gingerbread, full wipe including internal memory and still the same problem.
Strange thing I observed is the problem appear only when WiFi is on and it's searching or trying to connect. When WiFi is off or it's connected to router the problem never appears and when I turn on screen and after that turn on WiFi everything is ok. Only when I'm turning screen with WiFi on screen touch acting like crazy.
Is there any chance to fix it or should I buy new digitizer??
Ok, I changed digitizer on warranty and now everything is okay. Funny thing is that I have unlocked bootloader and they changed my digitizer without any problems. Less funny is that they broke both sensors changing it and I had to send My Atrix to Motorola once more after two days to change flex. But now I hope it should be working fine.
So after all it had to be popular hardware problem.
Thred can be closed.

Hi everyone, hope you can help me beacause im at my witts end.
In the last year, my galaxy s2's screen has occasionally stopped responding, the os was still running and everything so it wasnt frozen, my touch screen just simply stopped working. Only way to fix it was to hit the back of the phone and do a battery reset. This issue started poping up more and more, and now it won't respond.
Some info you might want to know:
Model: GT-I9100M
Age:~2 1/2 years old
No custom roms/kernels have ever been installed, has always run off the stock.
Never been dropped or had water on it (I took very good care of it)
The nav bar at the bottom (back/search/options/menue) and hardware buttons all work. Everything above the screen no longer works.
What iv done:
Iv reset the phone, did a bettery pull for the night, fully charged it, looked at the board and checked all the connections (all good). Would flashing a custom rom/kernel be something to try next? I read in a forum that someone had a similar issue to me and did that, but it didnt help.
Has anyone had a similar issue with their touchscreen? Why would the bottom nav bar work but no the rest of the screen? Could it be locked somehow? If it is.. how would I unlock it?
Thanks alot guys..
