i am having some problems using the touch screen. sometimes the touch screen will not work. i just replaced both the lcd and touch screen, and it was working fine for a couple of hours. the problem is, the touch screen will work for a little while, and then stop working. sometimes, if i put the phone into standby mode and then wake it up, it will work again for a little, or if i slide the screen open, and then close it, the screen will work again. i tried hard reseting and recalibrating the screen, and no luck
Well, I don't think it's a Rom problem,it's more like a Hardware,as you already replaced Lcd,maybe the digitizer connections/Tape plug are not properly having their contact.You can try to recheck it out and see if it is placed/fixed properly, you can reflash Rom and see if it helps.
Did you replace the Lcd yourself or got it done by the vendor,if by the vendor,better ask them to check and fix it.
Cheers
lcd
yea i did it myself, and i guess from now on, i wont be . but i tried opening it and cleaning all the contacts, and checking all connections. after i closed it all up it worked great for an hour or so, then i stopped using it, and when i went back to using it, it stopped working correctly again.

Today at work my Touch HD's screen just stopped working. Had it sitting on my desk (not plugged into the PC) and i went to turn the screen on and nothing. Pulled the battery and turned it back on, phone briefly vibrated (as it does) but still nothing on the screen
I've confirmed the phone works fine by using MyMobiler, and i can still do everything on the phone. All soft keys still work, as well as swiping on the screen to unlock it. What else can i try?
I'd try a hard reset mate. But it does sound like you screen could be dead :-( and if you hard reset and your screen still doesn't come back then I doubt you'll be able to get back in via mymobiler either.

I have this problem with mine recently too.
Sent for servicing and seems that they need to change the whole board!
Looks like we have the same defective batch..
This morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped working. Hardware keys are still working but device is not responding when the screen is touched. Already tried a hard reset but no success, now I am stuck at the align display screen. Also can no longer get to the bootmenu, so can't reflash my device! Any suggestions on what's wrong or how this can be fixed? Thanks for any help!!!!
I'm curious
Didn't you see any spots (like oil spots on the water) to the touch screen ?
I had the same problem .I replaced the touch screen and the phone is working again .
No, nothing, was working fine at night, when i woke up just randomly stopped working. The display is not cracked or anything, so wondering whether a screen replacement will do the trick? ALso strange that I can no longer get to the bootscreen to enter HardSPL...
Had the same problem, the issue (with mine anyhow) was the digitizer, which is an overlay that sits on top of the actual LCD screen to give it touch capability....
good post here

I had a similar problem,
To get past the Align screen I had to apply pressure to the top of the screen opposite side of front facing camera - then use the screen as normal
I reflashed the original rom (manually getting to bootloader) - it worked for a bit but ended up sending is back to 02 for repair.
All they did apparently, was to reflash the ROM again and its been working since.
Had the same problem a couple of times a while ago, when i was trying out WM6.5.
All buttons worked but not the touch screen. Never really found out exactly what the problem was, but the first time I managed to get it working again by resetting the alignment:
While gps button pressed (under green button), press center D-pad button this will bring you to alignment screen.
The other time the "alignment trick" didn't work, but i got it working again, after flashing the original ROM couple of times. (And doing hard reset between each time)
I think I used this ROM
You say you can't get to the boot menu, do you run hard-SPL?
most likely its an hardware issue - had this one too, of course out of nowhere!
flash with original rom and if you cannot align screen (as the hardware seems to be broken) send it in for repair. it will be under guarantee, if screen isnt broken.
I had similar problem, I passed the alignment but i had a huge offset in the touch.
I replaced the touch screen and it solved the problem.
You can find it in ebay for 1 US $.

Thanks for all the help guys!!! I do run hard-SPL and have flashed many ROMS - just don't know why it won't enter the bootscreen anymore when I reset the device and press the camera button. Did manage to upload original ROM again by using activesync, now trying to restore original hard-SPL so I can send off the device for repair.
Hi, i had also the same problem, i find a threat in the internet... try to push the upper corners on the device with your fingers and then tab on the screen to see if the problem solved.
I had the same issue.
Its more than likely your digitizer. I tried flashing 100 different roms but always stuck at the align screen stage.
I actually have the barely used digitizer if anyone wants it (for a few dollars of course hehe) My mainboard died a couple of weeks after i installed the digitizer.
needless to say i moved away from the ****ty build quality of HTC to the MUCH better build quality of the iPhone.
I have a Sprint Touch [Vogue]. It has served me very well up until recently.
One day, I was using my phone normally when the battery died. No big deal right?
Well, I charge my phone and reboot it. For some reason, Windows is EXTREMELY slow and unresponsive. I figure that something vital had been corrupted by the battery's death, and that it was nothing that a hard reset couldn't fix.
I performed a hard reset.
I let the utilities for the first boot run to customize the phone. Everything seemed pretty much normal. I configured my settings, re-added my contacts, etc. Then I turned the screen off [with the power button].
I turn it back on later to do something. I touch the screen. It immediately and accurately detects the touch's location, but it continues detecting a touch. For 20-30 seconds, after the input has stopped.
It was strange, so I soft reset the device. It booted, with the same problem. So I performed another hard reset. I did some configuration [the response acting normal at this point], and then turned the screen off. Turning it back on brought the same problem back.
This problem still exists on my phone, even after numerous hard resets and even ROM flashes.
A better description of the problem: When the device is first turned back on [meaning brought out of standby], its touch response is messed up. It will immediately and accurately detect any touch input, but it will continue to detect the input for up to 30 seconds AFTER it has been released, as if you were holding it the whole time.
WHY is this???? My phone is almost unusable because of this!!!! I can still place/ receive calls, using the navigation buttons and the red and green buttons. But the touch response is screwed!
Can someone please shed some light on this problem I'm having?
Phone specs: Windows Mobile 6.1, HTC / Sprint customized. Minimal third party software is currently installed.
[I've already determined that third party software is not the problem, because i haven't installed any!]
Possible solution
Hi,
today I experienced something similar to your description - no touch response when I tried to pickup a call. The strange thing is that last night everything was working and no settings were modified nor programs were added/removed. The screen suddenly 'died'. At the moment I am using it through a program MyMobiler which brings the mobile display to the PC and I can use the mouse to control the phone (it is like VNC for the phone screen, the phone is connected with ActiveSync).
This is temporary solution untill I finish my backups of files, programs, settings. I didnot performed hard reset yet, hope this will solve my problem
In the following link there is a 'magical' solution - to remove the screen protector:
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1112981/LCD+or+Touch+screen+not+working
P.S. I had removed the screen protector and voilá - the screen is now touch responsive. The root cause of the problem obviously is the dust between the screen and the protector which results in constant screen pressing - and as a result no accepting my finger presses.
I hope this will work for you and others with similar problem.
I had a similar experience with an old Vogue.....In my case, there was no battery death precursor, but it just started acting up. Not too long thereafter, I noticed the screen/digitizer was forming what looked like an air bubble between the digitizer and the LCD on one place of the screen. The screen was becoming defective. I eventually had to buy another Vogue from a friend who didn't have a clue of the 6900's potential, and didn't want his anymore, so I got it cheap.
Sounds like your screen/digitizer may be on it's last leg.
Hello! Been using my phone (I9505) for like 2 years now and all worked perfectly. Suddenly, my touchscreen stopped working. After some hours of waiting, it worked back again, but then stopped working as well. After repeating this cycle, today is the first day that I couldn't use my touch screen at all. Touch screen buttons (capacitive buttons I believed they are called) work great. Also, I figured out something, If I press the power key and fastly move my finger around the screen 'till it turns on, it does detect my finger, but after the screen has turned on it doesn't let me use the touchscreen. I've tried reformatting the phone a couple of times but no success (not only factory, but mega wipe as well).
Any help, please?
P.S: Also, forgot to mention, daydream function was activated and it worked well, but when my touchscreen was unresponsive, If I had let my screen turned on, it wouldn't go into it, but simply turn off the screen. I believe it's something to do with deep sleep? (I believe that was a known-problem for the ROM I was using at that time (Albe's lollirom). Atm I'm not using it anymore.
Bump
Maybe you should try going back to stock rom.
Or, when you get one of those moment where it works, go into developer settings and activate the option to show the pointer or touch response.
After 2 years it happens that stuff breaks. Depending on how much care you take of it.
I've been using the PH-1 for a year and a half and its great, but a couple days ago i would unlock the phone via fingerprint (as ussual), it would unlock but the touch wont work, so i factory reset the phone and still the same, remove the case and the screen was loose (almost complete), but the cable was well connected on both sides so i got the screen glued, but still the same.
Im using Android Pie (from day 1) with March update (updated like a week ago), in order to use the phone beyond what Google assistant can do i have to reboot the phone (using power and volume buttons) to get the touch to work again and dont let the screen go off. Sometimes after rebooting the touch works even if i turn the screen off and on, but i think its just luck.
You guys think it might be a software issue? or hardware issue? because i don't live in the US or CA, so i would have to wait a couple weeks for the screen to get here and i would'nt be able to return it in case its not a screen malfunction.
I really don't wanna change my phone, i love the PH-1.
EDIT: i just replaced the screen with a new one from fixez.com and the problem persists, i think april's update broke something. is there something i can do to check the software? Pls help.
I rooted my phone and almost the same thing happens. I turn off the screen and turn it back on and the touch is unresponsive. Howver, ONLY the apps left on screen are unresponsive. I can still pull down from status bar its weird.
Update 1: I saw u mention fingerprinting. I removed mine and somehow it seems to have stopped. I'll use it for about another day or 2.
Update2: Well it doesn't. If my screen times out with an app open. The app is unresponsive upon waking.
