[Q] Screen working but touching isn't - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wiped my phone (had lots of problems, phone in boot-loop .. etc.. I "think" it turned out to be a simple hardware problem, the power button is stuck sometimes .. and sometimes it's not.. so got unlucky) ..
anyways I managed to "miraculously" wipe the phone and make it clean .. however another problem popped up.. the screen is working just fine with the display... but once I tried to input with touching it didn't work at all
I installed a CWM touch recovery to test in recovery mode and still the touch is not working..
I think it's a hardware problem, but what exactly could be the problem here?

Usually due to flashing the wrong file, blowing the digitiser. Only fix is a new screen assembly.

try flashing the stock rom again with the wipes once.
if the problem persists, m afraid it would BE a hardware problem.

woh a single flash file can blow your whole screen, that seems weird to me, I've always thought the hardware issues can be caused by software mistakes but not to that extent, I don't think I've installed a wrong file though ..

I'm sure you fried your Digitiser by flashing wrong file.
See here there are others too.

I guess you're right on this one.. I was very careful on downloading everything for S3, but I think while desperately searching for a solution I didn't notice a download in one of the CWMs and fried it.. oh well .. everything went down the drain ...

so a replacement of the digitizer shall do? if I could give it to the service repair, not the whole screen, just the digitizer?
or I have to replace the whole screen?

I've said a replacement of a digitzer ONLY would help because I've seen many sites close to my place (Malaysia) offering Digitizer only and they claim it would be help with non-responsive touch issue.

[Q] Touchscreen Problem

I have a problem with a touchscreen. This can be seen that in the lower left corner of the screen, the phone detects a second touch. I put a screen shot of the presentation of how it looks in the test. This occurs on every rom 2.3 +, excluding Glsmt 2.1. When I plug the charger problem disappears. Whoever knows how to fix it?

but the problem exists in Cyano Ace Port from BehradGH and currently there is no possibility to install fix

Hi
someone fix this bug?
My motorola atrix is a problem with the touch after I managed to release "root", you have to play lower down the keys to be hit from above, in addition to the menu buttons do not work, but half of it straight up works best, does anyone have any solution?
Perhaps a better bios reset, or a full format! hardware will be? or software?
Somebody help!

This problem is fixed in KPY, i have this one "GT-S5830_XEU_S5830XWKPY-S5830XEUKP1-S5830XWKPA-S5830XWKPY4" and problem is gone.
I have the same problem..
My phone registers random touches in the lower right area, approximately above the middle of the home and back button. I have Indian firmware S5830DDKQ5, and the problem started just after I upgraded to it by official Kies update. Before this, in Froyo, this never happened. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem in my phone or the screen protector was causing it, or maybe something broke due to some fall to the ground, but you have the same problem, originating from 2.3+ roms, so perhaps not. I have not tried any rom except the stock one.
icemanhi, you say it is fixed in XE/XW KPY but KPY would come before KQ5, wouldn't it? I'd like to not go to an older firmware, because we don't know what the changes between them are.

Even when the phone is kept undisturbed on a flat surface untouched it still happens...
icemanhi, you say it is fixed in XE/XW KPY but KPY would come before KQ5 and I don't want to put something other than the stock official firmware. I cannot just keep changing roms either, I don't have time for that..
Please if anyone has a fix then share it.

take your phone to samsung service center and tell them about this problem
But...
I can't make the problem show up on demand.. the people at the service center will say, show me what happens, but it's random, so I can't show it to them. Then they'll say, "the problem is not happening in front of us, so we can't do anything." Still, I'll ask, but would prefer a different solution. Thanks.

It's either a software or hardware problem. Do a wipe first. If that doesn't solve the problem, it's likely to be a hardware problem. Contact the support service, they'll fix your problem.
This really is the wrong section to put this thread into... A moderator would probably move it. It is in no way related to development - it's a hardware issue, I'd say.
Anyway, I suggest you make another video, maybe longer . We need more details... Only 2 touches were wrong, if you ask me... or at least that's what I figure from the video...
graphic and touch screen glitches
sometimes, reboot + clear cache & dalvik works, but that was graphic glitches
are you using Go-Locker or some other lock-screen crap
Try to calibrate your screen but i think the problem is not the software, i think is the screen. If i was in your place i try at least to change the kernel and rom.
I started this after replacing the touch screen. But that's because I put it wrong.

what? You started this?
To the OP if you tried everything that was mentioned above and found no change, then it is definitely a hardware issue and you should call a rep from HTC or sprint, or your carrier.
i was exact the same problem as you. this line of dead pixels is spreading more and more. in time is this line spreading more and more to the hightes level and in the end no touch is working. send to the service and pay for the replace.
Ok guys .. Thanks a lot for trying to give a help... Now .. I am pretty sure that it's a hardware problem
I've also gotten this problem lately, but i'm thinking its a software related problem since the problem seems to vanish if i just lock/unlock the screen again.
Will try a wipe
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums & Read the Forum Rules
Moving to Q&A
Try using a diffrent charger if your using a non stock charger also after a full wipe also try the calibration option located in display settings. You could also try a different kernel as well.

[Q] Touch

Hello.
I have a problem. It started some time ago but now it gets annoying.
I used Ryze aka Yoda rom and touchscreen stopped working when I press button on top of the phone. I need to push i again and again and then screen works. The most annoying thing is that I have a phone call that is super important but I cant pick it up because the screen doesnt work. When I press the button 2x it drops the call. That is super f*cking annoying.
Now im using helicotper build I start to have the same problem but now my phone dont even turn on. It just stays at HTC logo. I did fresh instal about 5 times but nothing. Is it my phones fault?
I had the screen issue before when I was using Yoda ROM so I tought its ROMs fault. Now it starts to happen in other roms too. Any suggestions? What could be the problem?

This is a separate issue. Sounds like you are not flashing the right kernel or wrong hboot.

If it's happening with other roms, it's a hardware failure of the digitizer. Replacing the digitizer is the only way to fix it.

The problem is that it starts one time. Phone turns off and next time you turn it on it doesnt get further than HTC.
Probably digitizer costs half price of the phone. -_-

[Q] Dead touchscreen after correct kernel flash

Hi... I was on latest Temasek CM11, and flashed Googy max kernel. I got a bootloop, and touch screen completely unresponsive, even on philz recovery. Tried factory reset, another rom, kernel, etc ... Now the phone boots normally, but no touchscreen at all. I´ve heard about burned touchscreen controller when flashing a wrong recovery or kernel, but it wasn´t the case.
Is there any last solution before replacing the screen (again) ?
Stock rom ???
Yes try stock rom.

Trying ... hard to download 890mb over unstable 3g
But even on Philz recovery I can´t get touchscreen to work
If it doesn't work in recovery then the digitiser is blown, new screen assembly required.

can software really cause certain hardware to stop working especially the touch and/or LCD ???. because I have a S3 here too, but the problem is I can't see anything but the touch works. phone boots fine an everything. played music (by randomly touching areas of the screen till I heard a song started playing) it makes sounds when I touch tap the screen, vibrates when i'm typing stuff
the person i bought it from says its a software issue. idk if they are lying to me or not. only way I'm gonna know is if I put another motherboard in and see if my screen
turns on. u can try that too if u have a friend or something that has a S3 too, if the touch works with their motherboard, then its either your motherboard or firmware issue

[HELP NEEDED] Digitizer power-up problem

Hi guys,
I used search, but couldnt find anything similour to my problem. Hope someone can help me out.
Regarding:
I got a Tronsmart PS7 MTK6592 (7 inch dual sim octa) phablet for 4 months and it is absolutely a great device, but it turns me down sinds several weeks and is driving me nuts... cant find a solution on the internet or on XDA forum
The phablet has never been flashed with another rom.. i did flash Root and CWM, but that was never an issue for 4 months.
Problem:
The screen responce: it just wont respond to my touch.
When i use the powerbutton several times on/off, the screen starts to react to my touch and i can use the phablet fully.
When i power-up my device everything works, sound, LCD, ledflash and hardwarebuttons, but not the screentouch. The only option is to pull the battery and start all over again booting the phone, hoping the digitizer will respond. Sometimes it does, mostly it doesn't.
What have i done myself to make it work:
When i restart the device with power+volumedown i get the debug engeneer factory test. when i use the lcd screen test, it works flawlessly, even when i try it for several times, the screen touch response allway works.
When booted, I tried the MTK engineer mode *#*#3646633#*#* but this screentest is useles, because when the touchscreen works, it just works...
Flashing stock rom for 11 times... wiping cache and dalvic for 5 times without exiting recovery etc on every flash, nothing works.
When i restore my backup with CWM, the device just works as it should, but the touchscreen problem still persists.
Just restoring data or system, nothing worked... the device works, but the problem still persists.
I openend the device to check if some connector is loose, but everything was just fine. I just pushed the connectors some more just in case, but it wasnt a solution.
Chinese supplier help:
I had email exchange with the supplier of this phablet, but the only thing they could think of is flashing a stock ROM and do all the standard clear cache and wipe dalvic solution, so that wasnt much help.
they offered me to send back the phablet to them, but they are not clear about warrenty etc. so when my device is in China, they could basicly charge me with anything they want... and i dont want be in that position.
My own conclusion:
As i have mentioned before, the screen begins to work when using the powerbutton on/off for 10 times, so basicly the device is allright, just the digitizer (touchresponce) isnt been powered up i think... or something in that direction. If the digitizer was broken, it wouldnt work at all i guess, so it has to be something like that..
Question 1:
Who can help me out with this one...
Does anyone have experienced my problem with his/her (MTK) phone and if yes, did you find a solution?
Question 2:
Is there a script or buildprob. / int.d value that i can set to mandatory push/activate the digitizer?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Axelman
I had similar problem with my phone and after I installed screen protector problem was solved. Don't ask me why

Hi,
I am on a new level on the touchproblem i am having.
I got to the understanding that the digitizer/lcd panel has a chip of its own that can be flashed.
giving the touchpanel a firmware update, it could help the digitizer to act normal again.
Herefore i opened the device to look what brand and serial this chip has.
DATA:
Digitizer Kabel says:
EKT CE9921219
Digitizer Chip says:
ilitek
2139QT004
AM2C08075
Dil051010.1
Now this should be enough to get some driver to flash on the chip with a utility, but i cannot find anything on the internet (i am searching for 2 days now)
Anyone got any ideas?
Thnx in advance
Regards,
Axelman
Problem solved.
Flashing rom of another factory (luftco one-x) solved the problem
