hey guys just a quick problem.
I have installed the miui rom like 2 weeks ago but in the last few days the screens been playing up as now i can't press the e,s,z and voice input, its like their is a voide that i can't touch or do anything with. I have not dropped the phone or anything like that. Could the screen be playing up, or could it be the miui rom? and if it is how do i fix it?
I think you should try your screen with a multitouch test app
multi-touch
ok i did a multi touch test which kinda helped i guess... I have found out their is like a 0.5cm void on the screen which i cant press? any help...
try watching one of the replace digitizer atrix videos on you tube and determine if your confident enough to try it, but basically your digitizer stopped working, it happened to me 3 times over one year, ATT warranty replaced the phone but it was still pretty annoying.

Is it truly the digitizer, it has no cracks or scratches, as ive had a screen protector on the screen since i have got it :-D, I dont really wanna replace something that isn't necessary. And by the videos it looks a bit beyond me (even though i do electronics in school), but even so i dont really mind the empty void in the screen, the only annoying thing is that the i can't press e,s,w in the keyboard and i use at lest one for my google account password
aroma Breaks Digitizer?
Hmmmm ESZ Those are the exact same keys that are messed up on mine.. MIUI you say eh.. let me guess, that one with the aroma installer? BAM..

Hey guys!
something happaned to me 2 days ago.
everything worked great, and suddenly the HD screen wont work properly.
the left side of the screen sometimes reacts defferent when i press the left side screen.
for example - i press the Start on the left, and it reacts on the right!, if i press the right side it works good!
ive done few HR with changing the ROM few times too, the problem is still there...
when i do screen align - the buttons are getting pressed ok, when i start to use the phone its getting crazy, i have to press the left side at the end of the screen so it can react on the middle...
im getting crazy cuz everything worked great 2 days ago...
the picture on the screen is perfect - no defects except the touch.
also when i press the left side of the screen' lets say on the TF3D Tabs and living the Stylus on one Tab, its shaking a bit like im playing with it...
all the 4 HARD BUTTONS at the buttom doesnt work properly either...
thank you all...
BTW something happaned to alot of people? i can see alot of messages about those things..
* also one more thing..
im using my phone as a Modem for 4 months already, can it be one of the resons to make the Digitizer go crazy? the heat? cuz its get hot as modem...
Hey.
thanks for the answer.
but my qustion is if it really is my Digitizer...?
yes i got the same problem, send it to my reseller and got it repaired.
In a few hours i go to the poststation and get my HD back
greetz
yeah my seller lives at the other side of the country lol...
thanks guys for the help.

OK
something doesnt make any sense!
ive done another HR- another ALIGN SCREEN' and suddnley the screen works perfect! no stuttering, no jumping from one tub to another!
how can that be???
ive pressed the screen hard enough to see if the problem comes back! and it didnt...
how can that make any sense?
Damaged Digitizer will do that?
Hey!
thanks for the answer, but i live far away...in Israel \=
the main problem i have on the screen, is the OILY LIQUID under the screen! that what causes the problems, now my HD wont work at all, or maybe sometimes when it wants to...
now i have to send it for repair...and hope it will be ok
I'm out of luck,
One year ago, in the beginning of August, I had the Digitizer problem...
After a year passed, I begun to noticed again a small oil liquid on the LCD!!!
I still don't notice any problem with the touch, but it's a matter of time...
I can't believe it!!! 99% for sure that I have to send my phone to repair again and almost exactly one year after the same problem!!!
Hi all,
I wanna ask about my HTC hero trackball.
Sometimes my trackball drag alone by it self, like if I touch and drag it with my finger.. even just a little bit movement, and only sometimes, and rare.. but i scared if it's going worse, is that true if my trackball is broken? cause if it's true, then i should anticipate to change it with a new one..
Or maybe is it because my trackball is dirty?
Does anyone ever have a same problem with me?
Thanks for all,
cruzler
I get this too i thought it was just mine though it hasn't paticularly got worse and ive had it for a few months, the worst thing is tho is mine drags left so if i need to reply to a texti cant till it sorts its self out Any fix for this anyone (Edit: just sayin if it is hardware it will be the trackball thing its self because im on my third motherboard p) and its done it with all of them)
Maybe its dirt ??

Hi all!
My friend loved my mozart, so decided to get himself one!
BUT, annoyingly, there seems to be a problem with the screen...
Sometimes it just wont detect that you are touching it etc.
Sometimes it will work for a little while, or even just a split second and think your pressing instead of sliding your finger.
i HAVE already replaced the screen thinking this would solve it, but its EXACTLY the same
Is there anything else i could try, or is it just a screwed unit?
Cheers
Keith
BUMPZ!!!
anyone???
you got a screen protector on it? before i got my screen protector on it, it worked good. but after then it sometimes didnt respond to touches. sometimes especially when it was hot
ive answered this 2 times alread, try to search
flash the previous firmware back and itll work, its worked for mine
I read a ton of threads regarding this very common problem, however I was hoping I could find information more specific to my problem.
I bought the Atrix and it had Nottachtrix. A few of the keys weren't working in portrait mode, and in landscape they all work except the word correction bar. I flashed it back to stock, no difference. I recently flashed Neutrino GT, and still no difference (although the ROM itself has improved the phone IMMENSELY). I used a calibration app, seemed to help a little bit when drawing, however the problem keys in portrait mode (U and N), and correction bar in landscape persist.
I noticed that this phone has def. been taken apart, seems to be a small smudge on the LCD and the screws have wear. I assume he replaced the digitizer.
My question is..Can I try the PDS partition fix running the Neutrino ROM, or would this cause issues? OR, does it sound like I should just replace the digitizer? There seems to be a lot of different digitizers for the Atrix on eBay, I worry I might pick the wrong one. Could I open it up and attempt to "fix" the digitizer?

Its not a PDS problem... you should change the digitalizer or send it to repair.
Aroma Installer With Nowatrix
I dont know about that soto.. Funny coincidence same thing happened to me after running Nowatrix with the aroma installer. my keys are different, letters SZE dont work. Theres a straight line from bottom of screen to top which doesnt react to touch input. Heres the thing though, going back to the aroma installer that "dead zone" line can be moved by calibrating the touch input.. Seems to me what happened on my end was i chose alternate input and then saved the settings.. I know it's only supposed to use the settings within Aroma, but after that my phone has had this "ghost line". Screen worked just fine before using Aroma with Nowatrix.. For a cheap fix i "moved the dead zone as close to the edge of the screen as possible, and use the landscape keyboard at 270 degrees.. Tried the two fixes here on xda, neither worked, but i think the original mmcblk0p3 which btw is in my /dev/block/platform/tegra-sdhci.3 folder , is being rewritten on reboot. Grrr Im so mad, I had just got this tempermental phone running like a charm too.. So just for the record TheFullSpectrum, you can use the calibration gui within the aroma installer to maybe move that dead spot elswhere on your screen to make navigation or selections easier on the touchscreen. or like i said the "rotate phone 270 degree" trick untill someone can think of something to fix this... I wouldnt replace that digitizer just yet Spectrum, or bother opening it.. Aroma did it to me, theres no doubt about that.. Just need to find out now if the damage is as simple as misentered location information from the Aroma calibration gui, that can be reentered or changed back to proper dimensions, or if the calibration technique has actually damaged the screen.. God I hope not the latter.....
I was faced with the same dilemma. I tried the PDS fix and it didn't do anything for me, but I felt as it was free for me to do, it was worth a try. I eventually bought a new digitizer on eBay for ~$45. I have only a few weeks left until I'm eligible for an upgrade on my AT&T plan so I get to sell my phone and get a new one. My advice to you is that if you're anywhere near your upgrade, sell your phone on eBay (as is) and get a new one. You won't make your money back if you install a working digitizer.
Also, I've read that digitizers can go bad at any time. There seems to be an inconsistency in the design process.
Just my 2 cents
EDIT: I was successful on fixing mine but the one I bought didn't come with any type of adhesive or anything so I had to superglue it to the plastic frame. I ended up getting some on the screen and I had to clean it off with acetone. The screen has these ugly stains/marks now that are impossible to remove. It sucks because I was extremely careful during the whole process and I still screwed up. If you end up doing yours, do it in a dust-free environment and be really careful!
Hi guys,
My SGS2's screen suddenly had this problem, where the screen will flash randomly even though i locked it. To make matters worse, my home button not working now. I suspect it could be water got into the phone, when i tried to apply the screen protector the night before? What you guys reckon i should do? It's unfortunately out of warranty now.
Have you rooted flashed custom rom if so re-do it with full wipe
see if problem remains.because your out of warranty look for disassemble video
tutorial check all contacts and ribbons/possible water damage might need new screen this can be expensive if you don't do it yourself
i'm using non-rooted official rom XXPLX ICS, so i don't believe the problem is with the rom since it was ok for the past month. Must be been water that got into it...guess i'll just have to soak it in rice bag for a week like some advised and see how it goes...finger crossed...
ok just to update..now my screen seems to be ok now (no more flashing)..but seems like my home button is dead. Any way i can get around it? I find it hard to justify paying $200+ to fix a home button XD
I saw on the net there's some self repair tool for home screen but it just look too complicated...
