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

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?

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
Long and short of it, I want to know where the alignment settings for HTC touch are kept and if there is a program that automatically restores or force sets those alignment settings regardless of changes made.
You see I'm currently reloading software into my brothers HTC Touch Elfin.
I find myself doing this for the 3rd time in 3 months as a result of the touch screen alignment going completely insane and ending up almost entirely out of scope of the touch screens defined area. (My brother some how managed to operate his phone for a month with half his touch screen inactive lol)
So, I've been hard resetting the device and realigning on Initial Setup as a work around as i can't get to the alignment settings in the control panel.
I can't keep having to reload software all the time as it gets very time consuming and I really want to sell this phone off as my brother no longer uses it.
LMFAO as i was writing this, low and behold, touch screen just de-aligned itself.
I attempted a suggestion in the touch diamond forum to replace my biotouch.exe.
Didn't make a difference at first but i came back to the phone an hour later and its touch screen is re-aligned. :/

Good evening everyone,
I tried several Android Roms (2.3.7, 4.x) in the last days and I always had problems with "phantom presses" on the touchscreen. Every 5 seconds (even if I don't touch the phone) there is one of these phantom presses in the middle of the screen... makes Android unusable.
So I installed the original Windows Mobile 6.5 rom again - the device works without any problems. So I think its not a hardware problem.
I even installed Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 and had the same problems as with Android (phantom presses in the middle of the screen).
Strange thing is: When I choose another driver in Windows Phone 7 (CotullaTouch.dll instead of kmdtouch.dll), I don't have any of these annoying phantom presses.
My question is: Is there a way to select another driver for the touchscreen in android too? Or does anyone have another hint for me how to fix this in Android?
I would appreciate your help, thanks in advance.

How are you confirming something is touching the screen? I would suggest using Dev Tools, Pointer Location, and seeing if it says there is a touch on the screen. Most touchscreen errors are caused by the "End key" pressing down on the digitizer ribbons making the device register a touch. Before i remapped my buttons, when i would push the end key sometimes it would drag down my notification bar.

Hi, yes I know the "End key" issue. But when the phone lies on a table and I don't touch it (and I didn't press any of the keys under the screen before), my phone starts the applikation in the middle of the screen. I also started a paint-app once to check the touchscreen and unfortunately my phone draw something in the middle of the screen for me.
Like I said I don't have this problem with the original Windows Mobile 6.5 and I also don't have it with the "old" touchscreen-driver in Windows Phone 7. So I think it's definitely caused by the touchscreen-driver. Is there a way to make the touchscreen-driver less sensitive?

But youre the only person experiencing this issue. (As far as ive seen) so its gotta be something youre doing. The only way i see it being a driver issue is if your phone is like ancient compared to others and you somehow got an older graphics processor then the majority of devices out there.. Have you tried an android version booted from your memory card? Also try different kernels. Its a little hard to diagnose something like this without seeing the actual sympoms. so bear with me xP
I've noticed this problem in the last week where I've been unable to press the send button in some apps (I have to rotate the phone 90 degree). I've investigated the problem further and my phone won't recognise my finger at all on the far right of the screen.
See the attached screenshot to see my test (Touchscreen Test by Anton Mokshyn + Developer options > Pointer location). The green dots are all the locations that have been touched successfully.
Last week in my country we had a heatwave and on one day I sweated on my phone a lot, once on that day I tried to use the touchscreen and it wasn't responsive at all, could this be related?
I'm using Halogen OS 2017/06/24, it was doing it on the previous version too, but I don't think it's related to the OS.
Anyone think they know what the problem could be?
Thanks
Edit : I booted the phone up in TWRP and in the options I'm only able to push the brightness slider right to 95%, so it's definitely hardware.
