I got the DNA on launch day and had not one issue with the touch screen. As soon as I Unlocked and Rooted it, one portion of the touch screen does not respond to touch. I used the pointer test in Developer settings and it just skips over the area. It is over the "M" key on the keyboard making it impossible to hit "M". Anyone else have this issue and is there a way to fix this as I feel this is a software issue, not hardware.

So I made the jump from Android (Nexus One) to the Radar and I really like it so far!
I do, however, have an issue with the phone that I am wondering if anyone else has noticed.
I have noticed that sometimes when I go to touch a tile(or other UI object)...if I quickly touch it, it seems that the screen doesn't always detect my touch. Sometimes I'll even hit it a couple of times before it responds.
The behavior is inconsistent though. After it smartens up and responds to my touch, then it seems to detect it fine. It's squirrelly and a little disconcerting.
I also think that the region of the screen might have something to do with it. The tile 2nd from the top on the home screen ("messaging" in my case) seems particularly susceptible to this problem.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm a little paranoid because I bought this phone "new" from someone on CL and when I took it home I realized it was a refurbished model.
I had this problem when I had my 7 Pro. After a while it got worse, as I had to put the phone on standby and then turn it on again to be able to use the screen. I sent it in to HTC for repair, and they swapped the entire front panel with a new one.
Im having the same problem with my sprint arrive I think the problem is related to what is in this thread:

but I still cant seem to get it to work
Hey guys,
My fascinate has this issue of parts of the screen usually the middle not being responsive to touch. For example if I was doing the pattern lock, when I go to the middle, it would say that I did the pattern wrong like if I took off my finger mid way doing the pattern. If I was say browsing the settings, it wouldn't respond to my swipes in the middle to scroll. Or my favorite when texting. The keys in the middle of the keyboard would not respond to my touch only the sides. If I press enough times, it will register my press. The only thing that would fix this unresponsiveness is to turn the screen on and off. From what I've seen this doesn't happen with the stock roms just with anything else that I flash. I've been flashing since the early gingerbread leaks and with every single rom, I had this problem. Do you guys think its a digitizer problem? I am using currently AOKP milestone 5 glitched.

sounds hardware related...time for a upgrade or a replacement.
Hi,
I just got an EVO 3D today as a replacement for my old phone that broke. I noticed that the touch screen records some of my touch inputs a bit to the left. So when I touch backspace, it actually types 'm' and when I try to touch p it registers as o. I don't want to go to the trouble of going back to the sprint store, so would calibration.ini work still on ics?
Yeah, you should be able to go into settings under display and recaliberate your screen
Mine does the EXACT same thing. I rarely can type a p to save my life (although it is more tolerable using Swype). It seems like the right 5% of my screen is unresponsive.
I couldn't find any calibration under Display in settings (I'm running a sense 3.6 custom Rom). Where exactly is it?
I'm afraid my digitizer is messed up, but I don't get the craziness of ghost presses and such. But this issue happens for me on every Rom so I'm leaning toward a hardware issue.
Any help would be appreciated. :thumbup:
I noticed today when i woke up i cannot press the right side of the screen and get any kind of response. It is only about a thumbs with of the right edge but this prevents me from being able to hit send on text messages on the default messaging app and also on go sms as the send buttons are in the same general location. Is my phone just FUBAR or is there some way i can resolve the issue. Have tried power cycling and thats about it. I guess i need to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue and if there is any way to find out and fix the problem.
I've been having the same issue actually. In the bottom right corner, anyway.
Like when I go to attach a picture to a text message, I have to hit the text box first so the paperclip button is out of the corner. I've also had some trouble unlocking with the camera or touching it from the Navbar, where it's positioned in the bottom right corner. :/

I have similar issues with that when my phone is plugged in. And my acreen often locks up kinda with the last image on the screen being the only thing you see until you reset.

I don't think I've had an image stuck to my screen yet. I have this problem even if it isn't plugged in, which is really strange. Not sure why it's so unresponsive, takes several tries to unlock/select.
And kudos for being in Portland too! :good:
Have either of you found a consistent way around the problem or a way to resolve it? Also are you running the phone in the base state that you bought it in or is it rooted / unlocked?
I just tested my phone, by opening the browser to google.com (mostly white background), all around the edge of the screen. And I can see feedback animations for all my touches around the edge of the screen. So I don't think there is any problem with the touch digitizer, at least on my phone. Phone is still stock, rooted and TWRP.
I have touch animation when I touch the bottom right corner on the lockscreen, but it doesn't always drag/ripple out. Sometimes it acts like I've pulled my finger off so I have to do it again.
Rooted, unlocked, stock.
After touch responsiveness got increasingly worse i contacted AT&T and they are sending me a free replacement since these issues seem to be covered under the one year warranty. Just throwing that out there in case anyone else gets as frustrated with the problem as I have and cant find a permanent fix.
I can confirm that I am having very similar problems... it is getting worse.
I am stock rooted and unlocked.
It is getting harder and harder to press things, fling actions (like scrolling through a list) hardly move a thing.
I just installed a multitouch visualizer and whenever I have 2 fingers on the screen and then go to cross them (start with fingers in opposite corners, move one up and the other down until they pass each other in the middle) it actually loses both fingers and then sometimes only one pops up again on the screen.
Can anybody try an app like this Play Store Link.
I've had similar results with 2 other multitouch testers.
Is it my phone, or everybody's?
----EDIT-----
Figured I would install the Base ROM (7.0>7.3) because either it was a software issue and maybe the ROM would fix it, of it was a hardware issue (I really didn't think it should be acting like that) and I would try to get it replaced.
The Base ROM fixed my issue (for now, fingers crossed).
Now using a multitouch visualizer, the contact points are always seen, even when the fingers cross.
Don't know what caused it, but it was software (at least for me).
----EDIT----
Just plugged in the charger again... now the touchscreen is acting strange again... this phone does strange things when plugged in...
Hi!
My phone got a broken screen, but I got a replacement device from the insurance.
Trouble is, after a while with screen on the screen seems to become hypersensitive - it's nearly impossible to enter text through the display keyboard or just to zoom and move a webpage
After switching the screen off and back on again immediately it's OK again for a while.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I reckon it's a hardware problem, but maybe someone has a different explanation for this problem?
