ive been having this strange problem with my touch screen for the past month or so. its been working just fine for the past year so this is a bit of a bother. anyways here goes:
the right half of my screen is properply aligned as in when im using the keyboard and pressing keys such as p or k or l they press fine but on the left half of the screen where keys such as A or S or D are present. when i press them they dont get pressed, instead the key next to them gets pressed for example if i press S then A shows up.
i tried aligning the screen it solves the problem but only untill the system reboot. when it goes haywire again like this. anyone else suffering from the same type of problem and know the solution to this?
thanks alot

From reading this i guess you had a problem before you installed hspl? you may have a got a reply sooner if you had typed the first part of the paragraph as well as the second . Start from the very beginning and go way back past where you installed hspl and tell uncle M3PH what is wrong.
Well, when before I installed it it was been weird every time i pessed the key to go to the lock screen sometimes iwhen I went to unlock it, it would not slide now it is just getting worse.
I'm going to sleep now so I reply in the morning thanks alot mate.

Sounds like the phone is busy with a background task. The text messaging app can cause this as can the music player or album app when they are scanning for new files. HSPL would not cause this. Try backing up your memory card, formatting it and inserting it into the phone with no data on it. Let me know if the problem persists then (this is only a test to prove if i'm right or not).
It sometimes works now and sometimes doesn't from the lock screen.
did you perform the test that i asked you to do?
I was having the exact same problem with stock ROM 1.66 (so far the only ROM I've been using). I thought it was a hardware failure, but then I turned off all the screen locks there possibly are (Windows classic, Windows standard, CHT's screen lock and even PhoneAlarm's screen lock) and without any lock there is no problem.
Then I've installed S2U2 and so far I've had only one 'freeze' which could be undone by pressing the 'on/off' button, which is a big improvement. Still I need to test this a little longer, because sometimes freezing comes unexpected.

Yes I did, It's working a little bit now not good tho it is still frustration I rang up phones for you were I got my phone from and they sent me an Email with some software to install onto my HTC which apparently should stop it doing this but so far I have not recived the email.
what's the software called?
I don't know I have not received it yet they didn't tell me on the phone.
this is a new problem for me. I have been using the most recent Dutty ROM together with Mdeejay Android ROM without any problems. All of a sudden, when I try to unlock the screen after STANDBY, it just wont register my touch, as if I am not touching it. It boots up fine, and on the first unlock works fine, but when the screen lock goes on again (after every standby) it just wont unlock. So I am stuck (I use Exchange and our policy forces the lock after standby, so I have to use it - and its worked fine for ages).
If I boot into Android, it works fine, the unlock works fine, yet strangely when I try to shut the power down, THAT screen also doesnt register me touching it.
I have hard reset but even before I load an app or do anything, the problem exists.
I also reflashed a DUTTY ROM. Same problem.
I tried CHT lockscreen - same issue. After Standby, screen doesnt register my touch.
Anyone have any ideas?
Same problem for me.. Restoring a backup image after being forced to hard reset this morning and now suddenly my HD2 won't wake up after sleeping. Pressing my end key only lights up my buttons but I have to pull the battery to reset. I'm thinking it's related to me having CHT installed, yours however might be a different problem.
I had something similar. It was right after I had installed CHT 2.0 and was looking to make the top and bottom bars transparent. I found a cab that claimed it would do this and installed it. Sorry, I don't recall what cab it was and I have deleted it. When I rebooted Sense would hang and if it got into a lock it would only move the slider a little where it would stop. Luckily, I had done a backup that morning right after I installed CHT 2.0 with Sprite so I restored and all was well.
I don't know if this is of help but I figured I'd throw it out there.
it wakes up, but wont register when I try to swype the unlock screen.

Your lucky you get that far lol.. I don't get any waking up. Plus I now uninstalled S2U2 and still no change. Disabled all locks of any kind and still frozen with sleep of death with in 1 min of hitting power to sleep it. I REALLY don't want to to a hard reset and install everything from scatch.. UGH.
weird update...
It has something to do with which key i witch the device on with. If I use the phone key, I can swype the unlock. If I use the power key, it doesnt register.
Another related issue: when i hold the power key to switch off, it wont register me touching power off or reboot etc. so I have to take the battery out to switch off. Its the same in Android.
Anyone know? Hardware issue?

bump this is horrid

im having the exact same issue. I have flashed 3 different roms and flashed to the newest radio (2.15).
I started out using energy rom, didnt help. Flashed a newer energy rom, didnt help. Now im using the dusk rom, same issue.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!
It's a quite common digitizer problem lately... it seems the HD2's digitizer is failing on some units, possibly because of usage with android? my father's device acted the same way, only it sometimes did register touch and other times, not.
My device doesn't have these problems, yet. But seeing that a lot of people here are experiencing these issues, and with the notion that I use android pretty much all the time since I first booted my device, i'm pretty sure i'll experience it soon as well..
Make no confusion thou, the assumption that android effects the digitizer are purely my own thoughts on this matter, no such thing has been proven and the conclusion that android is effecting our HD2s is based purely on the statistics of touch screen failures in the last few months since android has been made publicly available in a working form.
EDIT:
Those seeking A solution, as far as I know, the only solution is sending your unit to HTC for repairs, you'll get it back with a note that says that they replaced your digitizer or your screen, at least these are the reports I heard from the other folks whom followed this procedure.
Good luck.
HTC HD2 Screen Lock
I have only used Android a few times on this 'phone and it has a standard HTC/O2 ROM installed so it must just be a problem with the top part of the digitiser. With android running the unlock is at the bottom and is unaffected.
Is there any way of testing the digitiser before deciding whether to get a repair sorted,

A friend was complaining to me about something like this since last week. I could not figure it out so I went ahead and installed Android cm7 and still have the same issue.
Until I read this post after searching through the forums all over Screen now unlocks perfectly fine but only using the green Phone icon. If I try to wake the screen with the red Power button, the screen is unresponsive.
Thanks for the info.
Already happened tome its a hardware issue can't be fixed so if you still have warranty on ur phone send it to htc for repairs b because it tends to get worse n worse soon other keys will start to give in I think that's one reason why most android phone been switching to capacitive buttons because hardware causes this sorta issues and send it in for repairs to get it fixed
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
the same issue with me , is there is any solution for that .
Wakeup the phone using the send button.it will work
Hi,
Since a few days my screen is freezing very often, almost 10 times a day. It is only the screen that is frozen, not the hardware buttons. To unfreeze it, I have to push the power button a few times very fast .....till the next time it will freeze again.
I don't understand what happened because I haven't add or removed a program since a few weeks. I have done a hard reset and I have updated my rom but after having installed all my programs, this behaviour came back.
I am afraid that it could be a hardware problem.
Any idea what to do ?
Thanks

HD2 Screen Problems
I have the EXACT SAME problem....
I solved mine by slamming the screen face down into a table; although I wouldn't suggest this as I have damaged part of my lcd screen. But the Touch Screen works 24/7 now.
It seems to be a common problem with HD2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795819
http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-one-more-problem/
SEND it in to HTC if you have warranty.. if you don't. Then S.O.L.

But my problem is not totally similar because it also happens when my phone is already on.
I have to admit that the problem began a few days after having installed - but in the meantime already removed- Android.

Try pressing the "off" button to put the phone to "sleep",
then push the "off" button again to "wake" the phone,
can you use the touch now? try multiple times to conclude.
Next try waking the phone by either one of the other buttons,
can you use touch now? try multiple times to conclude.
On my HD 2 it is the off button that doesnt wake the phone properly so the lcd wakes but not the touch screen..
I dont yet now if this is a soft or hardware issue related to the "Off" button.. but many folks have the issue now a days

Yes, it was what I am doing. I don't think it has something to do with the "off button" because it happens also when my phone is already on , and sometimes
my screen begins to start other applications that I have pressed.

I have tried; had only one freezing today. Will see in the next few days. Maybe
because of the week end I haven't used so intensive my HD2.

Hi everybody.
I solved my freezing just installing memMaid with default settings and scheduling a run in the night time. Moreover I scheduled a soft reset after that, not with memMaid because I didn't find such an option but with a little exe I found somewhere here called schedulereset.exe.
I hope this can help someone.
Post soem specifications
Eeey there,
I understand you have issue's with a freezing screen on your HD2. Pherhaps something may is wrong with the Drivers or the ROM. Or may there is a application running in the background that isn't stable and causes the screen to freeze.
Could you may post some specifications about the ROM you are running on your phone, wich radio you use etc.
Regards,

I think it only happens in custom roms

Maybe,
I have already used different ROMS ( I am using now MIRI's Rom) but it was working fine till a few weeks ago. I have done a Hard reset, tried with 2 new cooked ROMS and installed the
SAME programs I was using - they were working fine till a few weeks ago- and
again the same freezing problem.
It should be a hardware problem.

I think it is some kind of hardware problem, as I have the same screen freezing problem. For the last two days, my HD2 wouldn't respond to my touch at all. I reflashed my custom ROM, which was no help. Then flash to the newly updated ROM from Tmobile, but my HD2 still wouldn't respond. So I think the problem with unresponsive screen and freeze are somehow hardware related.
right, it seems to be a hardware issue
but i think try to use stock rom with the stock radio wont let you down hopefully
I have the same, but it seems to be the extended battery that caus it, so it maybe is a voltage prob.
The problem with the slide (left-right), ie. I can not to unlock my display. Since a few days ago I can not move the slide, i I have to turn off the phone (to remove battery), I worked reset, modified wallpeper and screen saver but nothing. Now I hold on my calculator, or some other program and it is only solution that I can to use my phone. Otherwise, touch screen works normally on all parts of dislpay. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Weird...

Are you sure your touchscreen works normally on all its surface and only unlock slide is a problem?
It seems very odd, never heard something similar...
Yes,it's wierd.. Maybe you could describe the problem better when it doesn't work etc. it could be some touch drivers problem
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
I used to have similar problems . Have you updated to the latest rom from HTC. It can be downloaded from their website. ( be sure to back up all your personal stuff first of course)
Good luck
Yes I know that seems very odd, but it is, my touchscreen works normally on all its surface and only unlock slide is a problem. ''Touch drivers", how and where I can to find drivers? Last night I looked different solutions, similar problems on many forums but without success. I found and installed little program 'xda shutdown' and it is work.....with that program I turn phone to sleep.....when I need to use phone again I push button 'home' on the phone, and slide works normally (no button shutdown, because in that case I cann't to move slide left or right). I forgot to mention, I have Windows 6,5, rom 3.14.479.2 (04666)WWE (I think that is last officially rom), radio 2.15..50.14. I hope that I now gave you more informations. Thanks in advance.
sounds like a common hardware problem of the HD2. the power/end call button is one of the most used buttons and has been known to cause pressure on the touch screen+connectors underneath, which can eventually damage the touchscreen.
you are now using a way to turn off the screen that doesn't involve the power/end call button. also, you are now using a way to wake the device using a button other than the power/end call button. funny thing is, this is exactly what is suggested (as a workaround or troubleshooting step) in almost all of the many many threads that talk about the problem mentioned in the first paragraph!
search some more and most common permanent solution suggested is to have it repaired!
Thank you ASCIIker, do you think that this is now a only solution, there is no way to get things back as before?
