For some reason, my G1 fails to wake up when the screen is closed. if i boot it with the screen closed, the video is all messed up. i've been running it on RC29 cuz my wifi isnt working and i havent been able to activate it.
also, my wifi is not working. this is a probelm cuz i dont have data and i cant activate. anyone help?
bump.
anyone?
*points* you're on RC29...>.> I'd suggest upgrading.
You know you can skip the initial setup process with cupcake ROMs and higher. Maybe try a donut ROM? Experiment a bit ^^
Does the phone work properly with the slider open? If so, you might have a bad connection between the body and display module.
I've recently aquired a T-Mobile G1 that refuses to run the backlight with the screen closed, and also freezes up if you close the screen - the device works flawlessly if you keep the slider open.
I've got a friend who's good at tinkering with stupidly small things, so I'm ordering a replacement for what I think is the problem part from eBay and we're gonna see if we can fix it....

my touchscreen wasnt workin so i did a hard reset to see if it would work but it didnt, now i cant get into the phone cause of the align screen is there any way i can skip that??? cause i cant use my phone
nope.. ur stuck.. try going into bootloader mode and reloading the official rom and see if it fixes it... if not u might need to disassmble it and see if any ribbons have been jigged loose
Take the battery out, leave it overnight, and tomorrow your screen might work (for a bit of time though), that'll help get through the alignment setup.
I had the same problem, even though the touch screen didn't work, all the buttons used to work well.
I have a video about the problem with my 8525, so I can backup my story in case ATT says it was a user error.
Thank you for your replies and suggestions of things for the OP to try.
If there are continuing problems on this issue, please use one of the existing Touch Screen problem threads. We now have quite a few so let's not create yet another one.

I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.
So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.
Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter?
Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.
editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...
yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.
yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 ))))).
now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^
sorry about my bad english! im german...
ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.
Help please. I was running WP7 and the phone started giving me problems when trying to wake it up and slide away the unlock screen. I thought it may be a bug in WP7 so i reformatted the SD card and flashed back to 6.5. During the first boot the screen functions fine, but as soon as it locks, and I attemp to use the slider on the lockscreen, the phone is unresponsive. Tried soft and hard reset..Phone works fine until the first sleep.
I am starting to think its hardware related but i dont understand why it works fine until the first time it locks itself.
I'm having the same problem. And the freeze also started after trying the wp7 Rom. Even when I'm on win 6.5 it still keeps freezing the screen after first lock. I hope it's not a hardware problem.
Hardware problem, just got back home from the post office to ship mine out. Many threads on it. If you are under warranty, revert stock rom and SPL and send it in. Please answer the poll in m sig below so we can have some good data on which ones are breaking.
I have been using Ultimate Droid 3.2.5 for a couple of months now and a few days ago i pick up my phone to make a call and the screen doesn't respond when I touch the screen. Only the bottom buttons and volume buttons work. At first, if i I play with the buttons at the bottom i can usually get the touch screen to repond. I tried to wipe data/dactory reset and reinstall rom but now I cant even get it to work like before. Only thing I can do now is answer calls and call back the last person that called me. Has anyone else had this problem?PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!
Did you eventually find out what cause this issues?
I think my phone is behaving similar, I'm using different Android ROMS for quite a while now, and suddenly without any apparent reason the touchscreen isn't responding very often after waking up the screen. It won't happen if the screen is on and the touch screen is working, only after a wakeup..
Sometimes it's just impossible to get it working again, and I'm forced to wait a while until it decides to respond again. It kinda feels like the phone is forgetting to wake or initialize the touchscreen properly.
ROM and Kernel changes didn't solve this so far.
I think the issues originally started with Typhoons CM7 NIGHTLY 3.7.1 / tytung 12.4v3 for me.
Actually I never found out what the problem was. I just flashed it back to stock and had T-Mobile send me another one. That was in May and actually a few days ago it happened to my phone again. So this time they sent me an HD7. It really sicks that they dont have that phone anymore. Cant do sh*t with this HD7!
Same here the Power Button is the problem, you just have to train yourself not to use it. I use Button Savior and Button Remapper. On my second HD2, luckily T-Mobile sent me a HD2, but that was in like March, right before my one year was up.
Make sure you keep this one working cuz there will be no more HD2! I may find one on Craigslist or something. This HD7 and Windows 7.5 really sucks monkey nuts!!!

Yea I played around with WP7 on the HD2 when it first became avaliable and wasn't really worth the time and trouble it took to get it on there. One month later I went back to NAND and haven't looked back.
Same here! Registering Zune was a problem at first.
Thanks for your quick response! Yeah, seems to be a problem with the end button / flex connector of digitizer
I found another helpful thread about this issue: The Infamous Unresponsive Digitizier Screen Possibly Solved!
Obviously you need to replace the digitizer to fix this problem.
I'm sticking to the solution of not touching the button at all, there are apps to turn off the screen and shutdown the phone. At least waking with any other buttons works most of the time for now, but it's not really a long-term solution.
Wish I would have saw that thread b4 i sent my phone back!!!
It started happening maybe 2 days ago. Im running the newest version of Hyperdroid and have never had any problems. Whenever i turn my phone on and attempt to unlock it by either sliding the tab, turning the dial, or sliding the lense down, the screen doesnt respond to my touch. I have to try like 3 times before i can finally unlock my phone, its super annoying.
Anyone have a fix for this or advice?
Thanks!!
Set my phone to "menu unlock" but when i put menu, the touchscreen wont work! It's getting really frustrating. Could the phone be going bad?
UPDATE: now my touchscreen wont work at all! pretty much my phone is useless now. anyone help?

Your digitizer is dead. If you are still under warranty, I suggest you flash back your WM stock and send your phone back in for repair. Unfortunately, there is no other way around this. Read here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12105680&postcount=1
