Hi guys, my Hero encounter the touch screen doesn't work periodically, sometimes it became no response totally, after a few days ,it works well, I think this may be caused by the static electricity, Is there anyone have the same problem? do you guys have some methods to solve it ? Do I need to change a new touch screen?
well i droped mine today and now i have the same issue but the strange part is that i just had a replacement screen and there are no cracks or anything else, so you can't see that it felt out of my pocket.
Hello I had the same problem.
I installed several versions of Android and nbh files.
The problem occurred with versions nbh for Froy version of Android.
As I had saved the versions that were tested. I tried to install previous versions where I knew the touchscreen worked correctly. In my tests with this file to the touch screen work again: kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh
I hope that helped
when you say not working properly, what do you mean? the a and l letters on the keyboard dont register unless I press the screen really HARD. so that aria of the screen is unresponsive
what does one do with kaisimg-panel2-320-24-05-10.nbh?

This has been discussed a milion times in the General forum.
Screen problems happen to a lot of Hero owners. Just send it to HTC fir a new screen. Don't forget to install an original ruu-rom on it.

I'm over the warranty. How can I fix it? does the screen need replacing? is the cord detached? whats the common issue of this happening? Whenever I touch my screen the notification bar drops down all the time.
i just purchased a old htc hero selling my spice mi300 i usualy get thr same problem in the lower part of thr screen may be i have to.just live with it as there is no warranty or insurance
I have had the same problem.
Mine is fixed within the warranty period.
But i have read something about failing Digitizers.
Maybe that's the problem?
See this topic:

You can buy them at Ebay just look for HTC Hero digitizer.
Below you find a link to the service manual:

If your phone is out of warranty
Maybe you can fix it by yourself
Today my 2 years old kicked my Foyer to the ground and the touch screen got busted, it cracked pretty bad. It was my right hand, I used for so many things. I used to work, for entertainment, it was a really useful tool. Now I can't see my life without a tablet. I tried to use my HP Slate 500 but it's just too slow to be useful.
Now I need two things. One to recover all the data that I have in the Foyer and the second is to find a replacement.
How can I transfer the data from the tablet to my PC with a busted touch screen? I can't even disable the ring lock. Tried to connect it to my PC but it didn't work at all. Can someone tell me how to make the transfer?
My other question will be, do I try to buy another Flyer on the net, they are discontinued at BestBuy? Should I get a Evo View? Or there is something better? By the way, the stylus is a must for my tablet. If you were in my position, what would you do, which tablet would you buy?
I'm using my wife's Kindle Fire, it's nice but I found it a little restricted.
If someone can help me out please let me know.
Thanks
Diego
Sorry to hear bout ur Flyer bruh. My flyer screen cracked on me a couple weeks ago also. I had a warranty with squaretrade but they couldn't fix it so they ended up giving me a reimbursement of the original price of my flyer when it bought it the day it came outwhich was $499.00. I was thinking of getting a different tablet but loved my flyer to much to switch. So i ended up buying a brand new EVO View off ebay for $289. 00 and pocketed the rest of my money. It was a win win situation. So if would suggest u get a EVO View for cheap off ebay and if u don't have a warranty i would recommend getting a squaretrade warranty.

If not already, either s off or HTC Dev unlock. Flash custom recovery. Hopefully you can see enough on the screen to navigate the menu go to mounts and storage and mount your device to your PC

Really sorry about your loss buddy,

You could go with the other option and replace the screen. I replaced my LCD screen on my HTC View (Samething as flyer). It is not a simple job but can get you up and running like new. It is a pain like the new iphone screens. Have to take everything out to get to it. I would recommend getting the LCD ($110) and Touchscreen ($50). These can be difficult to separate but can be done if you take your time and save the $50.00.
I have another one am replacing for someone and will try and post pictures during the process. screen should arrive early next week.
May your Flyer rest in peace.
I'd suggest looking online in other countries. South Africa has stock at Dion Wired, Vodacom, & I think Makro. I'm sure if you searched their websites you could purchase one online & get it couriered.
Otherwise try the Jetstream. It's pretty decent

I solved the the broken Flyer problem, Sprint have the Evo View for $150. So I'm getting a new View. Now the problem will be how to transfer the data. I can't get the touch screen to work. I can't unlock it. If I connect it to my PC it's there any way to retrieve the data without using the Flyer touch screen. The screen is completely clear, I can see all the menus but can't use anything because the touch screen don't register the input.
Will try the links that are mentioned.
Thanks

Does that View come with a 2 year contract?
Yes it does.

I'm currently replacing my screen (have pics on another post). What kind of sticky tape did you use to secure the digitizer?

Sorry to hear.
Get the View for $235 while it lasts.
That's where something like Soti Controller would be extremely useful.
Alas, it does not exist.
If you were on Honeycomb, can you use an OTG cable and a powered USB hub with a USB mouse to navigate? I haven't tried this yet, but it might work.
A day or so after upgrading to Jokersax's 0.5.0 build for the Atrix with the Aroma installer, I've discovered that some of the letters on on the keyboard stopped working. Using Touch Test, I've confirmed that there is a roughly 1 inch vertical stripe of my touch pad that just does not register inputs.
Downgrading to previous builds or restoring previous backups of the ROM do not fix the issue.
Is there a chance that the touchpad calibration utility for Aroma caused a miscalibration of the touchpad? Or is this likely physical damage of some sort? I've already tried rerunning through the Aroma installer and recalibrating the touchpad to no good effect.
Any other suggestions from folks?

Update: Solved by replacing the screen/digitizer
mines is doing the same exact thing. from what i have read on there your digitizer is going out. I ordered another one and it should be here today, once I install it, I will let you know if it continues to do this or not.
The digitizer is a common issue with the Atrix. Motorola went cheap on the Atrix.
Funny. I also started experiencing this last week.
How much did your digitizer cost? ( @ Quinto)

I just installed JokerSax 0.5.0 2 days ago as well, and today I have noticed a strip up the entire touch screen that is not responding to input. I too used Touch Test to confirm that there is a strip from the back key, all the way up to between 'OROL' in the word Motorola at the top of the phone.
This affects keys B H and Y when in portrait, and the entire qwerty row when in landscape with the usb port to the top.
I dont recall this happening before running Jokersax CM9 but it very well could have been..

got for $33 off of eBay. Here is the link:

It came yesterday and I am going to attempt to put it on tonight.
Thanks, and good luck. Keep us posted.

Somebody gave me a stock atrix with a similar condition, it was about 1/2 inch at the top and another 1/2 inch near the bottom (in portrait) mode.....so it's not the rom that you installed.
I too ordered a new digitizer off ebay....except mine cost $43 :-( i should have looked for a little longer...ohh well
I don't think it's necessarily a hardware issue :
The fact that it happened just after installing a new ROM is very disturbing
I have the same problem, and sometimes, with a new ROM, the problem disappears for a couple of hours, then my screen goes totally crazy, then the unresponsive strip reappears
Some people have this problem and a new digitizer didn't solve it
Is there any way that CM9-based ROMs overwrites some touchpad driver ? Does someone else could testify that it could be something else that the digitizer ?
Interesting idea. For the record though, I'm running pure CM7 RC 2. I have heard that the reason one might lose and then regain touch response is due to a hardwear connection/reconnection issue.
When this problem first began to occur, I would briefly retain touch response in the dead strip after rebooting. To test if this was a software or hardwear issue, I physically twisted my phone a few times and regained touch response temporarily, suggesting a hardwear response.
Just my two cents.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Anyone have luck with the replaced digitizer yet? I'm hoping to avoid ordering if that doesn't resolve the issue.
Ok, I broke down and bought the digitizer from ebay via the link that quinto0827 provided. I just installed it, and things are working great.

Off topic, where did you find cm7 rc2? All I'm finding is rc1 which is what I'm running.

I think the same thing.
I had the same problem with my Huawei Ideos U8150 after flashing Dronix 0.5 Rom.
In CWM I can see that the digitizer every 2 seconds it loose my fingers.
same has happened to me on my atrix. one perfectly straight line down the screen which doesnt react to touch. This line is moveable within the aroma installer calibration tool, which btw is what created the problem for me in the first place, after i decided to try the alternate touch option.. So yup, i agree too. I KNOW it was aroma installer that messed my atrix up.. SIGH...And i had just gotten it running top notch too..grrr .. btw that new touch file manager installed through cwm will also move this ghost line around, which could perhaps help some users navigate a little better on their touchscreen.. This is another point that suggests its not a hardware issue. Only other, worse thing i can think of is that the aroma touch installer played with the voltages feeding the screen, and did maybe blow something physically.....
Hey look at this... Just happened today and im so sad... Sometimes this solution in the link seems to work so it should be a hardware issue... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595402&postcount=1

So is it just a strip of the screen?
If you really really wanna be able to get it unlocked, Download the correct version of clockwork mod for our phone one that's not touch, has to use the volume rockers and fresh install the rom, Or as a matter of fact, Just boot into whatever recovery you have and clear data/factoryreset, that'll get rid of your lock pin
Hello from me too!
I have a strip on my touch screen that doesn't work. It's right where the Search button and Install on Play Store is and Clear on the Phone notifications, too.
It had the stock rom, I have replaced the screen with the digitizer when it fell down. It worked after that. I had to unscrew the phone one more time because my LCD was touching the screen and the phone had gone mad. After that, and a couple of days later, I noticed that the strip didn't work anymore. Today I finally flashed a new rom (King Cobra 3d) and nothing's changed so I figured it might be a hardware problem...
What's your opinion?
Thank you!

Its the hardware. and your carrier should change it at no cost. (Sprint)

ive had the top bar just under my notification bar non working for a few months now, and its starting to pi$$ me off
I've replaced my digitizer twice myself. I got a cheaper one the first time, and figure that's what I get for trying to go on the cheap. (I was out of warranty). Sorry to say it but it could be that again.

I think I don't have a warranty because I've changed it myself. It's my fault...
I think I'll buy a new one... I unscrewed it a while ago so I could see if sth had been misplaced or if the digitizer had scratches or sth like that.
I saw that the ribbon's top had been ripped off right where it bends on top of the LCD... Don't know if that's the problem...
p.s. I live in Greece. My carrier is Cosmote. We don't have Sprint here...
Yep, if the ribbon cable is ripped, that would be your problem. Don't go too cheap on your replacement. Good luck!

If i buy a new one from Amazon will it be allright? It costs around 10 pounds... The other one that i've changed and now it has a problem i've bought it for 60 euros from a local store here in Greece...

The last one I got from Amazon is the one I'm using now (about a month old), and spent $20 US on it, which was NOT the cheapest of them. Not knowing the exchange rate right off hand, would venture to say the one you're speaking of is not a "cheap" one. So go for it. Just take your time replacing it and be careful with ALL the ribbon cables. Good luck!

Evo or 3D? Well 3D digitizer fails often, that's why phone was discontinued so quickly. But digitizer is easy to replace.
