Hey guys I have question.
My friend gave me his old G2 to fix and then give to someone who needs a phone.
The touchscreen functionality only works in the center of the screen and at the right bottom.
[Screen display is fine and no physical damage to the phone itself]
HTC told me they obviously don't do work on that old of a phone anymore but that I just need to buy a digitizer online, replace that and it should function properly.
MY ONLY QUESTION is... if it's the digitizer does that explain why the Home and Menu touch buttons don't work? [the back and search button do]
Thanks in advance.

could anyone be able to help me? im using HD2 normally with android 2.3.4. however recently my touch screen have has a problem is that when i turn off screen by pressing the end button, after that i turn on that screen and u know i couldnt slide to go the main menu . but if the screen turn off automatically and u turn on it immediately, u will slide and use it. So, yesterday i decided to up to another ROM to solve it, but when i did it the screen is changed that situation and that situation worse and worse until now i cant touch to screen. who could give me some cures for this disease. cheers for that !!!
btw, i did up to wm6.5 and nothing had changed ...................................
uppppppppppppp............... help me
What ROM are you running on Android? AND are you NAND or SD??
Sadly it has nothing to do with the rom loaded on your phone. The end button is right on top of the ribbon cable for the digitizer. Your phone needs a new digitizer. I had the same thing happen to me. You are not alone and its a common problem. I would say Its actually a fault in the HTC design since the end button puts direct pressure on the digitizer ribbon and eventually its becomes damaged. I have a new hd2 now, but I use button savior on android. It allows you to use a the touch screen to press the end button.
thx for ur advice . probably i have to buy another screen once (.

Can you please sen us the link for that software..
I would never use that button again knowing that it would harm my device in the future..
Hi,
I've tried a number of firmwares Europe/Asian/T-Mobile and my local Telstra Rom. But no success.
I replaced my smashed digitizer and LCD the other day, however everything works great, the touch response is inverted - Left to Right. All touches on the left side are responding as if I'm touching the right side of the screen. Everything in the middle is fine obviously but from there it's mirrored.
It's quite possible that because the digitizer was bought from the USA and its in a Telstra (T8697) phone, it's somehow incompatible.
By bootloader is stating the TOUCH is C1(v66)
Does anyone think they may have a solution to this? a Registry edit or some kind of Screen calibration?
Cheers for any help.
BTW - The digitizer capacitive buttons are also mirrored i.e. Back is Search and Search is Back.
This digitizer also has a circle around the Windows (Start) button. My old screen didn't have this..
same problem
Hi gauge41,
I have the same problem :crying:. Do you have a solution ?
I bought my touchscreen on uk by ebay.

All updates have been done through Zune software without changes.

I've read somewhere, that there are two modifications of a touchscreen for mozart and they are not compatible, so if your previous digitizer didn't have a circle around windows button, but new one does, mirrored input is definitely because of that. Haven't heard of any registry tweaks to fix that, and I don't think you can fix it by installing different rom. You should probably get a compatible digitizer replacement or try installing different touch screen drivers.
touch screen not work
I tried pressing the power button
Did not work :silly:
After repeated pressure on the Back
Touch returned to work now
Had same issue before & this common issue on HD2.
You going to need a new digitizer soon ...

Thank you
But .. what is the digitizer ?
You have a link ?
my gf had this phone and this problem too. the reason was that the cable from MB to digitizer runs under the power button. And if you press power often, it's going bad.
Not really down to end button use alone. Main issue is the bond of ribbon to digitizer (touch screen) breaks down over time. Have had it happen on my own personal HD2 that has had light treatment & hardly any button use. Also seen it on an old stock hD2 almost fresh from the box. The things fail regardless of use really ... early & revision Digitizers seem about as bad as each other. So far our repaired handsets, Longest repaired being almost 1yr are still working great on $18USD replacement Digitizers ...
JUST now replaced a full digitizer on my Samsung s5 g900 T without a hitch screen looks and works great Home button works fine. But for some reason the buttons on either side of the home button won't light up. they work (when pressed firmly) but they won't light up!!I'm hoping this is a simple solution
This was an expensive nice oem digitizer new in package.
What am I doing wrong here?
I could use some help because this Is my main phone, need it tonight , and don't want to really heat it up yet until I fix the touch lights..
Thank you
You need to replace the charging port aswy, which include the soft touch buttons. When you replaced the digitizer they got damaged. is only $5.
My LCD has been replaced at the lab with a new one that I have ordered.
The lab is not responsible since I gave them the LCD...
The problem is that the touch is not working well, meaning - when you press some place on the screen you the phone recognize it in somewhere else below or up that point.
I have entered to the function test menu but I only can see there the problem with no way to calibrate the actual touch of the physical point to be match to the recognized point.
It very difficult to some thing this way...even to dial.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Thank you guys...
