Hey guys,
I recently replaced my lcd ips screen on my Canvas HD after it developed some nasty cracks. As the cost of replacing the screen in an authorized service center in bangalore is quoted at around 6k, i thought of getting it replaced elsewhere. The guy claimed to have used an original screen, by the way. It came to 1.5k or so. However, I am now facing an issue with the screen at least once a day. The screen doesn't seem to be as accurately responsive to my touch as before, making things like messaging extremely annoying. Also, the screen goes crazy. At times, the notif bar with slide up and down involuntarily. Or, an application will close on its own even without pressing the home button.
I suspect it is a calibration issue. I tried looking up some applications to calibrate the touchscreen as the ROM I am using does not seem to have one. Also, I tried reinstalling the ROM. But, no change. Please help me.
ROM: CM11 (11-20141004)
Kernel: KashKernel (3.4.5)
Happy new year.
Thanks,
Suraj
damn
U should have go with 6k btw change the rom

I have got a (most likely) hardware related issue with the touchscreen of my Xperia U.
Some parts of the screen are not or barely responsive, which is very annoying when typing. I have to tap some letters twice before they actually work. (It's especially around the 'i', 'n' and 'e' when I have my keyboard open by the way.)
I was running stock Android GB and I'm now running stock Android ICS, after I updated my phone the problem was still there which is why I assume it's hardware related. There does seem to be a slight improvement though, but that's probably because ICS feels a bit faster (so far).
Like five minutes ago I noticed something very strange, when I put my finger near the 'N' on the keyboard, but not touching the screen itself, it kept touching it like 10 times a second, sometimes holding the touch so it would result in a ';', but that's not really relevant I guess. It stopped doing that after I turned the screen off and on again by the way.
Now I've downloaded a drawing app on my phone, to see if the phone would skip the parts that were responding bad, but that wasn't the case.
(I would send a picture, but I'm not allowed to send outside links as I'm a new user, sorry. )
There is a chance that this problem is caused by a kind of overpowered charger I had been using last summer, because when I plugged that in, the phone started doing the same, only waay worse. I haven't used it for almost 3 months though, and the problem occurred just a few days ago, which is pretty weird.
I can probably get a replacement touch screen for free because my brother had this phone too and he bought a new phone because the glass of his screen broke.
But I hope I don't have to use that, haha :angel:
Is there any solution to this without taking it to a service center or replacing it?
Thanks!

Lots of touchsscreen thread in the forum, search and see what they did
Hi
Cutting a long story short, is there a screen calibration app/menu option for the S3? I cracked my screen the other week, and I have had the screen replaced (not by samsung). Ive noticed now that the screen intermittenly sometimes sticks, becomes non responsive and/or the image "vibrates" when I long press on an app to move it. OR when I try to hang up a call, 9/10 times the press doesnt "register"
Before I go and moan at the shop I got it repaired at, is there any app or any way of calibrating the screen ?
I should mention that the phone is not running a stock rom. It wasnt before the screen was replaced and everything ran flawlessly, even with the crack Now I'm no expert but I would suggest they've either fitted a dodgy screen / there's a loose connection or it needs calibration.
If anyone's wondering it is on Temasek's CM11 unofficial build. Although I had it on CM 11 for a while and the problem persisted.
I suspect it is a hardware issue with the replacement screen but I thought I'd ask.
Cheers

Flash a full stock rom to test but it sounds like you've a hardware fault.

This is screen test function of sammy based roms. if you want you can try your screen with this
You cant calibrate capacitive screens

If I remeber correctly this behavior happens when the screen is repaired without that special adhesive layer which originally glues everything together.
Back on stock rom, tried the calibration/diagnostic screen.... no dice, according to that it works ok lol.
It looks like I'm going back to the shop I got the repair done, to try and get them to fix it (again!) Bet they will try and charge me more money tbh I am almost at the point of living with it BUT I had two phone calls I could not answer today because the screen wasn't working properly, and that will not do
Edit :- found the accessibility options which allows me to answer/end calls using the hardware buttons. Still a bit gash but better than nothing.
Will see what the shop says, less urgent now, at least I have a way of answering the damn thing lol.
Hello mates.
I've got some issue with my desire x touch screen. It is becoming unresponsive.
The whole thing started like 1 month ago. I've noticed that as my phone gets hotter (playing games, using internet) my touchscreen was slowly becoming unresponsive. Firstly I was unable to scroll down my notifications (only the narrow bar at the top was not working) and then it came to a random places of screen, so I couldn't even write sms message. The thing is that it is not unresponsive at all. When I press certain unresponsive area it finally detects the touch. I tried everything, from wiping my screen with a soft tissue through removing battery and sim and sd card to wiping dalvik and cache. I've noticed, that after night the problem was almost gone. And again, after using phone for some time issue occured again. I figured that flashing a new kernel might be a good solution. And it helped and I was happy.
Unfortunatelly, yesterday problem returned. But as you probably suppose - flashing kernel ain't helping. I've also tried other methods mentioned above, but the only thing what helps a bit is leaving the phone unused for like 1 hour or so.
Do u guys have any ideas, what can I do to repair it or to fix it? Any help will be strongly appreciated

I have a similar problem after replacing touch screen. I have found the source of the issue, it could be similar to yours.
My touch screen at the bottom was glued to the LCD in a short line and the adhesive was probably touching part of the LCD cable that goes underneath. I used a hair drier to warm it up and lift off the touch screen. That way there is no bad interaction between the touch screen and the LCD. Haven't had this problem since but my touch screen is unfortunately a bit lose this way. Even now, whenever I push the navigation part of the touch screen too hard, the problem comes back. I will need something to isolate the bottom part of the touch screen from touching the LCD. I will keep you updated if I find a final solution. In the meantime, it could be worth trying it on your phone too.
I think I will just get S-OFF, revert my phone to stock and give it back for warranty repair Anyone of you guys did this? Did 7 vibrations at boot void your warranty?
I'm thinking about warranty repair, cause my bro has the same phone, but full stock, not even rooted. And he got simmilar problem to me, but with less intensivity (it just comes and goes once in a while). Also recently I got this phantom touch problem (after enabling show touch in options I saw my phone is detecting some touches in specific areas) So I think warranty will be the only option :/
A few weeks ago i, accidently, dropped my Z2. As a result of this my touchscreen was broken :crying:
My reseller told me that he could sent it to sony but that the costs would be high. App. 200 € ! He advised me to go to a tird party phone repair centre.
So i did. They placed a new touchscreen for 150 €. At first sight the screen works perfect and the colors are perfect. But.... sometimes when i'm typing a message
the screen does not capture my touch? Then i need to touch the screen multiple times to get a reaction. But it's a bit strange. When i'm in my bed with the lights out
the screen captures perfect?? When i use antutu Multi-touch test the screen works perfect! In light and dark conditions!! Is it a hardware issue? A sofware issue.
I tried multiple roms. I tried stock rom. But the problme remains. Anyone who has an idea?
ps Sorry for my bad English!

I work at a third party phone repair center in Lebanon, and from my experience external sources screens aren't as good as the producers screens, 30%+ of the screens we replace got issues.

From your tests you can say its a hardware problem, you can't always expect perfect results from external sources.
I know But it's a bit strange that sometimes it works perfect.
And i just figured out why the screen works perfect at night. When i'm in bed i use the app twilight.
This app filters some light frequencies and dimms the screen. When this app is active the screen works normal!
It seems that it's a brightness issue?
I believe some faulty ICs in the screen are being overheated as high light frequencies are being used so causing the touch layer to stop working.
Sry, for my bad English. But you should check again the store that replaced your screen. :/
Hey guys, a friend of mine give me his moto e cause he had soft bricked it. Reading through the forum I could reinstall the firmware (4.4.4 latam) and now it's working fine, but there are 5 spot in a vertical line that doesn't register my touches, these spots are aligned in the middle of the screen, one is at the y position of the keyboard, and the others are separated 1cm each other (1 is under the y and the other 3 are above). Could this be a software related problem or I just have to replace the touchscreen? (I've tried factory reset two times but I've not reflashed the firm again) thanks in advance and sorry about my English.
First take a try with Screen tester app die playstore, and change rom once, if didn't helped, you can replace screen assembly at low cost on local markets.
Well, i've reflashed the stock 4.4.4 firmware and it's still the same, i guess i'll have to replace the touchscreen. I dont know how the touchscreen works in this phone but it's a little strange that certain isolated areas in the middle of the screen doesnt work..

I had the exact same problem. I had 4 such huge spots on the left side of the screen where touch didn't work. ROM reflashes don't help. Yeah it's really strange. First I thought it might be cuz of water spilled over the screen but later on found out that the display assembly is completely sealed and water can't get in. Yeah it's really strange how display suddenly stopped working that way..even touches of local phones don't get magically spoiled like this, dunno what's up with moto. I got it replaced from local market for 1300. I would say the quality of the display, touch, brightness, contrast, everything is same as that of the original display. The only thing I suspect is that the glass is not gorilla I guess.
