Another touch screen issue after ROM change - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hey guys have used search high and low, and cant seem to find the answer to my current problem, i just recently bought a jasjam, and i love pretty much everything about it, but when the ROM was changed the owner said that the touch screen stopped working. Apparently it was fine before the change, but that it didnt work after. So i figured that it was a software issue, loaded the latest SPL, and relaoded another ROM on the pda. Now the toush screen still doesnt work, but i have noticed that you can tap the screen when asked to get to calibration screen, and tapping the screen will also turn the back light on, but i am unable to calibrate the phone touch screen after the initial tap.
i have since loaded remote screen calibrator, and skip calibrate, and the phone seen to run well, except for the touch screen, on that note i have noticed also that the touch screen will accept one tap when loaded to the today screen, then stop working, i have hard reset, soft rest, changed to latest SPL, and the latest ROM from the forum.
Could it still just be a dodgy touch screen, or does it sound like a software prob to you guys, thanx heaps for the time

Hey guys have had a look round the web, and i get the feeling that perhaps the touch screen driver is screwed and was wondering if there is a way of checking, by replacing just the touch screen driver? i have placed a number of different ROMs on the phone and none of them make any difference to the non working of the touch part.
if someone could let me know if i am wrong in my thinking please let me know
thanx heaps
peace Trix

Anyone?
thanx in advance

My Cingular 8525 Screen

Hey Guys,
I am having a problem with the touch screen on my 8525. Now I'm not exactly sure if this is a similar problem as other screen issues on this site but my phone was working fine then the then the screen stopped responding altogether. I was able to navigate via keyboard but that was it. I did a soft reset and it did not help. I then did a hard reset and the screen went to the setup and wants to align the screen which obviously I cannot do. Did the business card trick, no good, put it in the freezer for a lil bit, also no good. I'm a bit reluctant to open it up yet. HTC said the repair would cost anywhere between $170-270... clearly not worth it... I should just open it up take a look? If so what EXACTLY am I looking to do here???
Please Help Me
Thank you all in advance

HELP! Touch screen no longer working!

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.

Trinity Screen Unresponsive.

All of a sudden my screen has stopped working in terms of being able to use the touch screen, the buttons do work though.
Also I noticed the clock has reset it's self so something has happened in the night.. hmmm.
So, I have removed the battery for a while which didnt help.
I am wondering what to try next, for some reason finding out how to do a hard reset is not easy - could somebody let me know how to do this please?
Come on you clever chaps, help me out - I am sure this has happened to a few of you in the past.

Touch hd screen not responding to touch or stylus
Touch hd screen not responding to touch or stylus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In early February I upgraded my Touch HD to 6.5 from 6.1 and if am right it was energy.blackstone.21891.leo_Max. It worked for about two week and and then one day I struggled to get a gps fix on my tomtom. The next day the screen just froze with no response of any touching or stylus.
Managed to put the original orange rom back on it but could not cariberate the screen due to its not responding. I sent the phone to HTC UK for repairs but they said due to my having used unauthorised software the motherboard needs to be replaced and they were asking me to pay 168 pounds so they could go ahead with the repairs. I got the HD2 on a new contract.
Still love the TOUCH HD and was wondering is there another way of breathing life into this thing. Responds well to install new roms but the screen continues to remain frozen
Hello.
I have same kind of Problem.
My HTC had broken Screen, I had it repaired.
After it came back the touchscreen worked OK. Than I flashed it with the ENERGY Blackstone ROM.
Flashing etc was OK. Device started again and came to the Point where you have to tip on the screen to do the SETUP. But that did not work. I tried Softreset. Hardreset but No change of Problem.
Send it back to the repairshop and after I recevied it again the Energy was still on it and working.
Since a new ENERGY rom was out, I flashed it again . Result, Same Error, NOT working. To make sure that the ENERGY-ROM wasn't the error, I reflashed it with the Original HTC ROM.
Also this one does not work. It also comes to the point where I need to tap to do the Setup. Nothing happes.
When I attach the Phone to PC with ACTIVESYNCH, the Synchronisation works OK.
Any Help Any Idea ??
Probably you need to replace digitizer(touch screen layer, not LCD) Look on ebay for a new one.

Damn, I have almost the same problem!
I have used Energy roms for a year, without any major problem. I have installed dec. 20. NRG rom, and today it is completely messed up my HD. No response on touching the screen or pressing any button. After a hard reset the touchscreen alignment was came up, and the touchscreen is working, but I can't align the screen, it starts over and over again... and thats all. I cant do anything else with it. I have reflashed stock rom and spl, still the same.

same with me here... I also have got an EnergyRom installed. For more then one day now I get no response from the touchscreen. Everything else seems to work properly, e.g. the popups which remind me appointments are there.
Exactly the same here!
I installed energy sense last week, phone worked fine for 4 days then i came to use it and it didnt respond to the touch screen, however tapping the screen would bring back on the backlight?
I hard resetted it and also flashed a new ROM on, still the same, I found that it was responding but taking up to 5 mins to respond, i.e if you tap the first calibration point, after about 3 minutes the point moves, however calibration never completes.
I think the phone is scrap.

Touch Screen doesn't respond anymore like it should

Hey guys,
right now my touch screen only responds after a reboot. Until today it has always worked, but during the last days I discovered that when I want to unlock the display I have to switch the display off and on before.
Has anyone an idea to help me out? No matter if it is an android or the stock rom, the problem stays the same...
