I have screen problem with touch registering. There is kind of a dead line in portrait mode. It does respond to the touch but it eithers register touch upper of that area or lower or it. I confirmed that "dead area" with Touch test. I'm using Liquid Smooth ROM.
Is there and calibration app or what could be the problem.
Thanks!
Your digitizer is dying. The solution is getting and installing a new digitizer.
This has been covered countless times.
That was my first asumption, but its weird because it is recongnizing touch, but not in the right coordinations.
Just in case, before you dig in and take it apart, might try the pds fix. Has been known to help some.
Can you please direct me to that psd fix? Dont know what is it all about
Thanks
Not right now since the XDA search is apparently not working. Once it does, just search for PDS fix and you should be able to find it.

Hey guys,
My screen woes just won't go away. I dropped my phone a few weeks back and cracked the screen. Ordered a new one from eBay (Item number: 260818538062) with the faceplate and everything. Had it installed but then started noticing that SWYPE wasn't working as well because my words would start breaking midway. Installed Yet Another Multi Touch Test and when trying to paint realized that there is a very evident line on my screen that isn't working as well. That was one continuous movement of slow up and down jestures but as you can see, the touch sensitivity is much weaker as well as the screen sensing a second touch at some point.
What can I do? I will gladly take the thing apart and clean the connectors.. if that will help. But somehow am inclined to believe that the issue lies with the screen. Is there a software recalibration fix that exists perhaps? Anyone experienced the same thing and walked away with a working solution?
Please help and thank you in advance.
(EDIT) I've added a second attachment where I started going around the outer edges working my way in, there's definitely one faulty line in my screen!
(EDIT2) Found a native Android touchscreen test (white and green) thanks to a member named BryanNL in a different post. Basically had to dial *#0*# and chose it from a menu. This test claimed that I passed but you can see that it is not made to tackle an issue like mine.
Bumping.. Anyone please.
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.
Reference:
cgi.ebay.fr/NEW-DIGITIZER-TOUCH-SCREEN-LENS-FOR-HTC-7-MOZART-T8698?item=270791784120&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5080495740069852992
All updates have been done through Zune software without changes.
Best regards.

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.
As this being my first post I hope it's in the right place and I can assure you that I've searched for an answer or post to no avail.
So the thing is that I have a Legend with a widely known issue with the screen where it won't detect correctly the finger placement and the only thing that draws down is the notifications bar. After some observation I've ruled out a digitizer failure since after a few moments of using the phone the issue starts and it's random, that led me to believe that there should be some issue with the stock software, also everywhere in the web people are saying that it must be related to the software, so I thought that if I rooted the phone and loaded a custom ROM I would be able to regain control of this device. Have any of you guys have had this approach? Am I on the wrong path here? Please let me know what you think of this as a possibility or if anyone have achieved to get the screen working again.
Greetings to you all and be well.
Ferno!
Not sure how rooting phone would fix a screen issue but its worth a try. Just make sure you know how to unroot if the screen problem still persists so you can send it back for a fix.
Sent from my Legend using xda premium
I remember the last time i had a screen issue was there's some dry smudges messing with my digitizer. so use if you have a screen guard. take it off and clean the whole screen. else ruu back your legend to stalk and send it back for repair.
err... there's another thing you can try but i'm not sure it this works. you can head here at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5475283
and download the htc ime with the clicker apk if you are in cm7. theres a screen calibrator within the ime setting where you can calibrate your screen. i'm not sure if this calibrator effect the whole screen beside keyboard.
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!
So, this thing drives me crazy...I've tried everything I knew and still nothing solved this problem.
I'm using HTC One. About 10 days ago weird things with touch started to happen. It seems that touch is partly unavailable/unresponsible on touch in one or two small areas. It seems to me like theres an empty place on my touch. Visualy is everything fine. Screen is crystal clear and has no damages or scratches. But I can't slide icons without troubles. Somwhere on 1/4 of screen, touch brakes briefly and I need another try to slide the icon. The same thing happens with status bar on the top of screen - I can slide it until that 1/4 part and it stops there and goes back. If I slide it quick with short move, it works fine, just slide alone over problematic area.
Also, few times I had that problem where screen works things on itself will. Makes pictures, or adds filters on Instagram, or, I don't know, just jumps around for few secons. Then, I lock the screen, then unlock it and usually that calm down the screen.
Also weird thing is that, when I want to send message, I can't reach "send" button in first try. I have to drop down writing sheet, than to touch the letters to put it in writing mode again, and then I can click the "send" button. On the same place where it was previously!
At first, I thought that plastic case or PVC protection is the problem, so I took off the protector from the screen. That solved problem for a bit. Then, I put back screen guard, and problem came back. After I totally rejected screen guard, problem is still here. I've tried to reset phone on factory, but that wasn't helpfull...
I forgot to state that I'm using Android 4.2.2 and this started to happen after that version update. I had no problem before.
So, now I'm here, as I don't know what else to do before I take this beauty to service. I just hope that this happens because of software bugs :crying:
Is there anyone who could help me? Have similar problem or know how to fix this?
In the meantime, I'll just hope that 4.3 will fix it themself... :fingers-crossed:
