Hi hoping someone can help. Had my phone around 3 weeks now and all was great until yesterday. The screen just stopped reaction to touch mainly on the right hand side but I don't think that this is a hardware issue and the screen works everywhere when rotated. I tried a factory reset and problem is still there. I have never rooted a phone in my life so keep it simple haha. Thanks in advance
Any help guys? How can I add a screen shot on here to show what firmware it is running?
I have not had this problem, but I did have a similar problem on another phone before where part of the screen went dead , I think it's related to moisture try putting the phone somewhere dry or blow a fan on it for a few hours see if the touch comes back.
if you have it in a case try removing it

I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,
It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.
For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3
times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.
Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,
then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.
Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.
Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up
shooting all over the screen.
And sometime it will work perfectly!
I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so
I hard set after awhile it started again,
So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours
the problem was back.
Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a
loop that doesn't end.
I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?
I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get
any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!
WOW nobody? So no one was heard of this problem before?
Can anyone direct me to directions on taking apart the Wallaby?
Thanks <><
It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.
Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?
Thanks
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)
put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!
I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,
I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be
one on the main board.
If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?
Hi all!
My friend loved my mozart, so decided to get himself one!
BUT, annoyingly, there seems to be a problem with the screen...
Sometimes it just wont detect that you are touching it etc.
Sometimes it will work for a little while, or even just a split second and think your pressing instead of sliding your finger.
i HAVE already replaced the screen thinking this would solve it, but its EXACTLY the same
Is there anything else i could try, or is it just a screwed unit?
Cheers
Keith
BUMPZ!!!
anyone???
you got a screen protector on it? before i got my screen protector on it, it worked good. but after then it sometimes didnt respond to touches. sometimes especially when it was hot
ive answered this 2 times alread, try to search
flash the previous firmware back and itll work, its worked for mine
Any help much appreciated....I have an issue with my screen flickering, dimming very faint and going black when i touch my screen. sometimes my screen will go black for long periods of time and phone is practically useless. This is not an issue of just a slight flicker on light colored screens that I have read other people describe. The screen does not always do this but is definitely getting more frequent. The flickering/dimming happens when I touch screen and especially when I touch it with more pressure. It also seems to be more sensitive on the bottom half of the screen.
I consider myself as the "scientific type" and have been testing many different scenarios trying to find a rhyme or reason to this happening. The only thing I have found is that if I keep my phone out of my pocket the problem seem to not happen. Then I can put my phone in my pocket for as little as 5 minutes and my screen could be messed up for hours. Everything else about phone seems to work great.
At first I was thinking this was a software issue but now I am leaning towards hardware? I am rooted, unlocked with s-on and cannot send back for warranty. I was running mean Rom for many versions and have also gone back to stock rom and stock kernel and experience same problem. Many reboots and clean installs too. I have also taken phone apart and reconnected all ribbon cables hoping there was a bad connection.
My Evo lte is only 4 months old and has never been dropped nor has it ever been wet. There are no scratches on screen and has been in otter box since the phone was brand new. I am running out of ideas and am I dire need for advice.
Thanks,
Mike
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 :/
Display backlight is not working of a sudden even when i keep the brightness at max and second screen is working but the display is not working with good backlight ! I just took the phone from my pocket and what i seen is the display is dim ! Display is so dim even when the brightness is kept at full and i dont know how this happenned and someone tell me the way to solve this problem ! Screen is very dim even when i adjusted the brightness level at max and i even tried formatting phone but the issue remained same
Hi this also just happened to me. Image is working but no brightness in screen except some bright ess in top right corner. Phone overheated a couple kf times and shutdown after this initially happened and consumed 2 full batter chages in minutes. Now the heat and battery problem is gone but screen still dark. Any ideas
Hi guys!
I`m having the very same problem. Back light of the main screen is gone, and it doesn`t matter how I adjust it, it is always dark.
Have you guys solved your problem already? Any ideas?

Having the same issue as of yesterday, been Googling possible reasons and it seems the 'backlight controller' has malfunctioned and the entire screen needs replacing (allegedly). Considering a new screen costs almost as much as the V10 itself on ebay these days I'm going to be trying to take mine apart to see if an easier fix is possible, it is more than likely there isn't, but I at least have to try. Let me know if any of you guys have any luck in repairing your phones

Update: Having replaced the screen with a new replacement screen, I am still having the same issue, indicating an issue with either the mainboard and/or the chipset. Can't really go much further with this it would seem so unfortunately I don't think the issue has any DIY fix...
Sorry guys... RIP my V10

I have Same problem,, Any solution ? please help me
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes. Scared me to think my phone was dying. Restarted, still the same. While I was googling it, the screen came back on. Hope it stays that way. Really strange to take it out of my pocket and only have the screen lit in the upper right hand corner. I hope this wasn't a preview of things to come. Love this phone and want it to last!
