Hi all,
I've a "little" problem with my touch screen, it doesn't work ( doesn't react but displays well) , but i said little because just one part isn't working (approximately from 200 px to 430 on the Y axis).
The problem seems to be hardware caused, i've tried to install an other ROM ( the problem appeared while using CM7 and i tried with CM9 ROM without success).
Someone else already experienced this issue ? Could this be caused because of a ROM or software (i havent overclocked my device, it rarely fell to the ground and the screen isn't broken....), Could he be repaired?
Thank in advance ans i'm sorry for my bad English ,
Batlac.

This is a well known issue and is most likely caused by the digitizer. You'll most likely need to replace it, unfortunately. They go for at least $45 on eBay.
The only alternative is the PDS fix, which didn't work for me. I can't give you links as I don't have enough posts, but I've found what I needed on this site (and youtube for the digitizer replacement video) simply using search.
Thanks , The PDS fix isn't working for me too, I'll try to repair manually my phone :-\

i had the same issue. i even tryed flash sbf and the pds fix....nothin
i had to do a warranty replacement, the sbf flash atleast get rid of the unlocked symbol at the front if your catching my drift
The SBf flash isn't dangerous? I want to use the warranty too because the replacement is expensive...
What SBf did you flash?
Thanks!

it seem to be a PDS partition problem... if you flash it with any sbf the problem will still be there... try to make a restore of a previous nandroid when u didn't had that problem...
(sorry about my english)
Arf I haven't got any Nandroid backup and the links from the "Atrix Firmwares Superthread" are deads...
Someone knows where I can find some stock SBF files ?

If it doesn't work then you will have to buy a new digitizer.

Well i'll thank the first person who summarize for me on what happened in 2days.. (Any dev fights,new rom,new noobs anything)
I totally bricked my phone (Paper Weight), gave it to LG service they replaced the main board (within 36 hours i am lucky).
While i was in service center i rooted the phone,installed recovery and i am back to custom rom. (If something went wrong i could just tell them they didnt do it properly. HeHe)

Welll i was playing with imei and hex editing nv backup and restoring wild stuff. Dont blame the tool. I say never restart a emergency mode yellow screen if you have it you can do something. (Even if update is not repomding) jut dont loose the yellow sccreen. And dont play witth the tool much. Its the best way to brick the phone.
Yup.thanks for the advice.I was thinking of playing with lgmdp.now no way.I love my op1.I don't. Want to loose my main board.cause am stable @825

Yaa, I said to them I was updating through PC suit and something went wrong.. they said to me,don't brick it again as we just have 8 main board in stock, I said to keep them for me lol. I tried talk them into giving back the bricked board but they didn't, else it would be crazy to test some stuff.

I hate it too. I have used it several times but i was always nervous about it.
Lgmdp and kdz are pretty risky tools. Both tools used only once and both times I felt scared

Well I appreciate your help but has of right know I have decided that the phone no longer works. Am uploading a little video so you can see what I mean. I change different roms and same issue. If when the phone reboot i don't touch it and leave it lock it last hour with out reboot. if i unlock it and browse around and open app tray it last 1 min 12 second, using and app lasted 47 second, trying to browse the internet lasted 35 seconds. Is there any way to make the device run in one core to see if that the problem or and app to check hardware failure. thanks
Even I faced the same problem with my first Razr!! But I was lucky enough to get replaced by the phone dealer them itself.I had the phone for a day and it kept restarting every few seconds or minutes.

I saw the video. You may send your phone to moto services. Bad thar can happen is they do not replace razr, or charge you for fixing it.

You are the owner of a motorola device, this should be enough.
If they say you have brocken your razr you still can ask then to fix it for a price.
Or fight a law suite over there:
To do that you'll need to demonstrate ownership. They are responsible to demonstrate this is not a hardware defective razr.
For ethics issues, I can't tell you more than that, ask a local lawer.

Having same problem here: constant freezing just out of the box, no apps installed.
Can't use the phone for more than 2 min.
I have searched many forums and tried some things, but don't wanna root it, as it is my father's phone from work.
Will tell him to ask for a replacement and post here in the future.
But sad to know many others are having problems with a phone just out of the oven. Shame on you, Motorola!!
Please help.. Cannot access my dell streak camera app. It says cannot connect to camera. What should I do.. Desperately needs advise.
What rom are you on?
It might be fixable by going to the camera app properties and clearing it's data.
If that doesnt work, you could try the more drastic step of doing a fac reset.
I had faced this issue when I tweaked build.prop for addressing compatibility issues in play store. Edited back to original values to solve the problem.
Not sure this is the case with you?

Stop posting the same kind of issues. I already have a thread same like this one. It makes the moderators delete same concerns. And I believe people here are just pretenders. No one seem to know what the fix for this problem is. They dont know a thing. So its useless asking these guys for help when all they teach you are basic junk troubleshooting steps. Unhelpful!

tbh.. we cant really help you because the phone itself is physically not at us... so.. what we told here is pretty much what we have encounter and solved... also not all problem can be solved here... sometimes the device really need to be sent to the phone specialist.. and not here... so right now the most effective way is to sent the phone to the shop that know streak 5...
The best way is flash stock 407 olleh, flash dsc, flash longhorn, and cm7. If you still cannot connect to camera then you can sure that it hardware issue not the rom. Those above rom has camera working very well.

Thanks Bro. Thats what I am talking about. I've done 407, dsc, longhorn and cm7 and back now to dsc. I think I will then conclude this is a HW problem. Some say it may be a Flex issue.
Once you flash a new rom, it's 100% a HW problem and not software.
I think I know whats wrong with my camera.. When I read my logcat it says there's no preview frame layout. Please help where will I get it?

Okay, Im an ass so I say that up front. I flashed a bad kernel and I hardbricked my 5 day old galaxy s3 fro Tmobile. I took it to the local repair place that does JTAG repairs, which btw, does not work on the weekends. according to them the JTAG'ing takes 40 hours which I think is more because I kept calling and seeing if the phone was showing any signs of life. Anyone know how long the actual JTAG procedure actually takes cause 40 hours seems like a long time to me. Even after they said there was no guarantee that it would work and bring my phone back from the dead.
I am not new to rooting or flashing roms and kernels and things of that nature. So for the record I did not read first about bad kernels floating about so again Im an ass.
First mistake was flashing anything from this forum, this is for the international version ONLY.
Secondly a jtag should bring it back to life.
I'm not sure of the timeframe but 40 hours seems like a lot of time to do anything.

Could you describe how exactly you hardbricked your phone? As far as I know hardbricking is pretty much impossible on the s3 and probably extremely rare (this is the first case I've heard about it).

A kernel won't hardbrick a phone. If you flash a correct kernel it should boot. A way to brick it is to flash a wrong firmware from here. Cause the first thing being flashed on a firmware with odin is bootloader. Then you will have an expensive paperweight.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
afaik s3 has separate kernel and recovery where flashing a kernel dosent touch the recovery , so practically it should not be hard bricked
If I were you I would approach to XDA forum first! where all the " DO DOES " happen!
are you 100% sure its bricked?
I dont really know about it, but from my experience bootloader flash and emmc bug are the only ways to hardbrick S3, flashing wrong kernel should make your phone unbootable, but shouldnt do a **** to your download mode (if flashed right, put under pda in odin), however if you put it under bootloader box, than it might flashed kernel on bootloader partition which deffinatly makes hard brick.

It is technically possible to separate the screen and digitizer, but very difficult. If you search here you will find many people who destroyed either the screen/new digitizer/both in the process.
Repair shops usually only replace the complete assembly, for good reason.
