As the title says. I have problem with my touch screen. Sometimes the last third part of the screen don't react on touch.
Example if I have up the keyboard, the space-bar and the buttons around doesnt react.
Is it my phone who is bricked or is it my ROM who is the problem?
It started when I flashed Cronos 1.7 stable, and then I tried to flash Roufianos last ROM, but that didnt help. (full clean between)
(I have not tried to go back to stock rom yet)
(After a reboot everything works fine for some hours).
It is a common problem according to HTC. When the screen gets warmer, the problem gets worse. HTC will replace the screen under warranty!

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.
Hi folks,
any help with this is appreciated since I can't quite explain this problem to myself.
I have a HTC Touch Dual - last working rom was the WWE Insomnia release.
One day the screen suddenly went black - phone still functioning normally.
Hard resets appeared to solve nothing, the screen remained black.
At home I flashed the Original ROM back to the phone and screen worked again on reboot. Phone continued to work normal for some time.
After going to standby (screen turned off) the screen didn't turn back on again.
Also hard reset didn't work.
As for now, everytime I reflashed the phone with any rom (Original & Insomnia) the screen worked until a hard reset or standby mode.
Phone is running with HardSPL.
Any suggestions how to find reason for the black screen issue?
Google didn't help that much - only hint I found was reflashing the phone twice with the Original ROM which didn't help a lot...
Exactly same problem!! Insomnia ROM and strange screen behavior! Will try to restore original ROM.
Have anybody fixed it?
Oh, I have the same problem. Don't know if it's a hardware problem or software. I have unlocked and flashed many times. I also was thinking about a bad flash.
please can anybody tel me what could be the reason tha my touch screen is not working.. i hav htc touch hd.
it sometimes works and some times doesnt.
thnx
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.

Yeah, this is digitizer problem.

Sorry for my bad English.
A few days ago, I decided to flash back my touch hd to the stock rom due to the big battery drain and slow performance.
Now my problems are gone and my phone is really fast,
but my screen is acting weird.
It happens mostly when I'm typing an sms, for example: I'm using swype and I want to swype a word that starts with the letter 'd', so I press 'd' and the swype line goes from the a to the d and then follows the path I've swyped.
It even writes a word that starts with an 'a'.
this is just an example, so I can describe what my problem is.
basically my screen thinks that I'm tapping somewhere else on the screen and then knows my actually tap-place.
This is not a bug in swype or sms, it happens everywhere in windows mobile.
It also isn't a screen allignment problem.
does anyone know how to fix this?
so again: it is the stock rom with the stock spl. is this a known issue, or are there any fixes?
thanks,
Artuur
Hmmm interesting...
so this did happen on any other rom you had flashed?
No, only on this stock rom.
I never had it with the stock rom when I had just bought the device, and I didn't had it on the cooked roms.
The problem began when I reflashed from energy rom to the stock rom.
Everything else (phone, wifi, bluetooth, battery...) is just fine.
i had strange issues with my touch screen before.
first i was sure that it came with the installation of mobile icq, so i got rid of it, didn't fix anything, hard reset, everything was fine for a while. then the problem came back, tried different roms, no change....
to cut a long story short, everytime the issue came up, i would panic, align the screen dozens of times and in the end perform a hard reset, just to realize it got me nowhere, until i finally found, that removing the display protector did the trick, apparently, there was a tiny air bubble somewhere on the very edge, that distorted all my inputs to slightly different spots.
since then i run the device without protector and everything is fine. from time to time it will still behave strange but carefully cleaning the display always resolves the issue, sometimes teeny tiny spots of dirt keep the device pressed in one spot and due to the way resistive touch screens work, it would only accept the middle of the 2 virtual press points as input.
so my advice would be:
1. clean your display, really clean it, especially the very edges, there can be something stuck there, practically invisible.
2. make sure, it is not software related, by flashing hspl, then a cooked rom and another radio, in combination with task 29 and hard resets makes sure, everything on your device is replaced.
3. if all that doesn't fix a thing, you might need to think about getting a new digitizer or entire screen.
hmmm. try a hard reset! or try flashing to a custom ROM, then reflashing again?
My I9505 does not respond to touch after waking up from stand-by. My screen was damaged so I replaced it with an original Samsung deep-black screen. When the phone boots up and it first gets into android it works perfectly (touch is working), but when it goes to stand-by after the initial boot and it wakes up again, either by getting a phone call/Whatsapp/etc or by physically pressing the power- or homebutton, the touchscreen doesn't respond to anything. The phone itself works perfectly otherwise, responding to all hardware buttons and running as usual in the background (getting messages, notifications etc.).
The weird thing is: I have the spare S4 from my brother, when I put this new screen on that phone the touch keeps working, and when I put the (cracked but working) screen of that phone on mine it also works. So it seems like the combination of my mainboard with the new screen is somehow not working, but all parts separately work great.
I was initially running CM 11, today I installed CM 13, hoping the issue would be solved with newer software. This fixed nothing though.
I have worked at Teleplan for 3 years, fixing hundreds of I9505's, but I never encountered this before.
Currently the device is running with:
Clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.7
Android 6.0.1 CM optimizedCM-13.0-20161224-Stable
Kernel: 3.4.113-B—B-PWR-Core-AOSP-v1.6
To be clear: While in recovery mode touch always works, when getting into CM after booting touch works. After the first stand-by touch completely stops working. The new screen itself works perfectly with another mainboard and my own mainboard works perfectly with another screen.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
Before doing the above:
1. Update your recovery
2. Try stock kernel.
There are a great deal of people that encountered other issues after updating the touch firmware.
