The only thing that seems to work for now is open the phone, all I have done is open the phone and disconnect the battery, remove the charge that may have the touch screen (static) and clean with isopropyl alcohol all connectors (disconnect everything It is connected to the telephone plate and clean) all this very carefully, until now I have not had a problem, it is necessary to continue testing.
PS: The back cover has no glue, you can remove it very carefully with your nail or with something thin enough
PS 2: Maybe the only thing to do is remove the static, what I did was to cover more possibilities
PS3 : Sorry for my english, hope this helps you

I flashed the rom i had again, and it worked for me.
In my previous lenovo, Zuk Z2, that din't solved the problem. To be able to use it for 2 minutes, i had to turn off the screen, hold the phine with a finger on the screen, and then tur on the screen. After 2 minutes it breaks again.

[Q] Brick or hardware failure?

Hi guys,
I bought a second hand mini pro, and flashed (rooted, unlocked bootloader)it with the help of one of the several guides. with Simplexity and MiniCM7
It seemed to work fine at first, but now something odd happens.
I can only turn the device on (working) when I keep the keyboard slided out. When I start up with it slided in, The screen is turned on but no image appears: It stays black.
When it is turned on (slided out) I can use the phone normally. But when I slide it back in, the screen is frozen and won't react to touches.
Putting the phone in and out of standby (slided out) will have two possible outcomes: Either its usable as normal. Or it simply won't come out of standby at all. The phone seems to react (sounds) to pressing the buttons on the keyboard though.
I used Seus and manual methods to reflash to stock, try other kernels, but the problems remain.
I think it's the hardware that's failing but maybe this can be caused by the flashing as well?
Are there any methods to rule out one or the other?

I'm responding to the thread's title : It's a hardware failure.Brick means you can't even power it on/flash mode.If I helped click the "Thanks" button.Also,try using nAa-11 my and x10man's ROM called XMP Rom and tell us if you still have this problem.I understand that you posted this here (If you post it in questions section almost no one will respond )so I won't tell about that.
(Oh, my bad. Mods feel free to move my thread)
I was afraid of that. I'll try your ROM as well, but I'm afraid its the hardware too.
Thankfully I only paid 30 euros for it
I think the flex cable is gone bad, i have the same problem here. My mobile doesnt respond to any touches. First it happened only when i would slide the keyboard. But now its dead as a whole

The XMP rom didn't fix it, so I guess you're right. Would a flex cable (those are the flat orange ones right?) be expensive?

I hope you fix it
This is the cable we are having a problem with, i have given my mobile for replacing this stuff as i couldnt get this locally. This board houses the LCD and the digitizer and the buttons connect to this. The black cable goes to the motherboard. Its pretty simple to take apart the phone, but take care while doing so. Another thing its that, when you are opening the display panel, its better to use a guitar pick instead of a screwdriver and open it at the latches, that would avoid damage to the outer plastics.

Unresponsive touch screen

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 :/

Moto e dead spots on touch 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.

Screen is locked but responding to touch

I have a very irritating problem my device touch screen is responding even though it is black and locked. It keeps annoying me when i am in a call and it is only a matter of time till it ends the call. Problem started after having a screen replacement but i can hardly believe it is a screen problem because it is functioning normally and also gets dark when i am in a call. My proximity sensor is working as it should. It is like my screen gets dark and not totally off.
My phone is rooted and i am running lollipop 5.1.1 custom rom

It sounds like you are having ghost touch problem. This usually presents itself when you change the front glass with digitizer and leave the old LCD. This cannot be repaired if this is the case. I dont think this is a sw problem. When did this issue started to manifest itself? Right after the screen replacement or it started to appeare gradually?
Yes it appeared just after repairing the cracked screen. The lcd was working but not the touch and the glass was all cracked.
How can i solve this?

One thing to mention is that i do not get touches that i didn't make. They are just getting read when the screen shouldn't read them.

But does touch work normally when you use the phone? Ghost touch can manifest itself on various ways, like your case or can go completely crazy when the screen is on. You can try some apps that resolve ghost touch like touch fixer. Some people are saying that unlocking BL and flashing CM resolves this issue and other sollutions you can try is to apply heat with heat gun or hair drier directly on the screen to make sure the glue is sticking the digitizer onto the LCD propperly, or fiddle with the flat cable contacts bit by bit until the touch is working properly but this requires disassembling the device again. You can alway try to flash different firmware to see if it'll resolve your issue but I highly doubt it will. GL

Desperately needing help. unresponsive part of screen

So I bought a battery for my Mido and followed videos on youtube on replacing it. It all seemed to go well until I started to use my phone. The middle part of my screen doesn't register touches. I was able to install a touch screen test app and you can see that nothing is registering in the middle. Any Ideas? I've attached the screen shot.

Maybe it's software problem.If you have twrp installed check if the problem appear there too.If not then maybe it's indeed a software glitch.Then maybe you can try a factory reset or clean installation of the rom.
If that doesn't work maybe you can try reconnect the cables you had to disconnect during the battery change process and putting back the previous battery.Not an expert just some logical thoughts.

I'll test twrp in the morning. Doubt it'll be that. The only connectors I detached were the finger print sensor and battery. I hate prying my phone open. Was such a pain the first time. I'll have to open it up to see if maybe I knocked some other connection loose at all.
I am facing this exact same problem. Pretty much a vertical strip of screen on the right hand side of the screen is unresponsive for me. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8Uqn2lp_d.jpg
I took the phone to the service center, while I had warranty. They pretty much said to my face that this kind of problem can pop up when you've dropped the screen too much and that I need to get the screen replaced to fix it.
