Just wondering if anyone else has this problem....i kinda fixed it by tightening the screws in the back of the phone...when the screen is up and i touched the bottom left of the screen and gave a little pressure it would wiggle a little.....so anyone have this problem also??
Yeah as I use it more and more it seems to move and not be as tight. Not a huge problem yet, but if it continues to get worse then I may bring it in.

Hi,
The touch screen part of my universal has ground to halt to the point that it won't work.
There doesn't appear to be any cracking and I don't recall dropping it or sitting on it.
I work a fair bit outside and can get quite a bit of dust and dirt in my pockets and am wondering if it could be due to dirt getting into the connect on the hinge.
Has any one else come across problems with the hinge?
I'm reasonably adept with a screwdriver - are there any things to watch out for when disassembling to check it over?
Hi..
If u can open with the Universal guide posted in the forum then try clean ing the connectors on the Right and Left of the Clamp Shell part with Iso Propyl Alcohol.
Before opeining you can try pressing mildly with yr fingers, at all the forur corners..it can start working..else do the above...
Hi,
OK, the screen seems to be working OK this morning, however I seem to be getting a sort of ghost effect where it appears as though the phone icon and the volume icons are getting pressed resulting in the volume controls and the phone/flight mode popup appearing on screen.
I guess it is all down to dirty connections.
Do you have a link to the thread about dismantling the hinge, I can't seem to find it.
Thanks.
re isopropal alchol
only use 99% alchol to clean contacts anything below that can cause corrosion on printed circut boards and contacts.
any progress yet.
mine stopped working today too.
but when i took off my screen protector, it worked for a while.. now its dead again.
I think the screen protectors may cause this problem, as I too had this problem with a screen protector; but when i took it off it would work and and off. I cleaned the screen up and after a few hours my screen was working again!
being in Australia I go to the beach allot. with my jasjar.
the sand gets stuck in the sides of the screen putting pressure on the screen and disabling any input. just a thought that it could be the same with u.
hope u sort it out, otherwise claim it on warrenty sooner than later.
The problem I have with the screen is that occasionally the touch screen side of things appears to stop working and also the the volume, wifi and phone dialogs keep on appearing as if I am pressing the relevant icons in the top bar.
I'm guessing some dirt has got into it somewhere or there is a loose connection, but am struggling to open up the screen's case to inspect it.

i took off my screen protector and it worked an hour...
got home, prepared to go to the T-mobile store.. then cleaned my screen ( without protector ) with a small cloth and it was working again.. so weird..
lets wait and see what happens ..
It's not really that weird: If some dust, or something equally small gets between the screen and the plastic frame, it can put enough pressure on the screen, and so the touch screen takes it as a constant (or intermitent) input, invalidating any other action on the rest of the screen.
I just received my Aquapac waterproof (and sand/dustproof) to use my Jasjar hapilly in the beach! :lol:
oh so annoying, my volume sliders keep popping up now..., as if some one keeps tapping, cause when not in Land scape mode when i open the "START" menu. it scrolls down, the same input/tap as wher the volume is in Landscape mode
There must be something wrong ... my screen still isnt working properly
one possible solution for touch screen not working
guys.... although I dont need to register onto this portal and it took me 15 minutes to register (fault of my own) but I got so much relieved with the solution that it deserved 15 minutes of my effort ;-) I hope it helps someone...just like it did help me....
I own a P835 Asus mobile and from past 2-3 days was having problems - start menu continuously appearing and my taps not getting recognized. Since yesterday my screen suddenly stopped responding to any taps or scrolls altogether.... buttons were working fine but not the screen..... i spoke to the facilities centre this morning and was about to take it to the shop but due to my laziness...didn;t go.....
Thanks guys.... what you mentioned above is very correct.... it was just a tiny molecule of dust that the screen was interpreting as my input and finally refusing all my taps..... I just cleaned the screen and the speaker side with the mere stylus n things started working.... thanks a lot.... more than laziness was this worry cause I just bought this piece a month before....
so people...before takin it to the shop....try this one too.....huhhh.....
Anyone else notice that when typing, especially on the left side it makes creaking sounds? I thought the screws might be loose, I tightened them all but it still does it. I guess it's the battery cover.
Gives it a little bit of a cheap flimsiness. Would like to correct it.

I have the same problem..
The battery cover is to soft. I will try to fill it up with something.
Hello,
I got my N1 1 week before, and i'm really satisfied with this phone.
Since the first day that i got it, i tested it by applying pressure to the corners of the screen, just to check if it had any problems of clicking screen like the other users reported, and it was ok, no clicking and everything normal.
But today, i tested it again and i noticed that it clicked near the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen I applied pressure on it, and it seemed like it glued again and didn't click anymore, after several hours it begun to click again
I think i will apply the hairdryer method, before dust goes under my screen.
I just opened this thread to warn the other N1 owners, to check their phone again, so you are all sure that you have no problems with your screen.
Best Regards!
What's with this clicking?! I don't understand where you see the problem
Thats a good point cause I just got the N1 couple of days ago and noticed a clicking sound on the top area. Didn't know this was a known issue. Gonna have to look into it further.
I tried telling you guys in the thread I started (the other one about the dust under the screen), where I first suggested using a hairdryer... that everyone should go ahead and warm up the screen and make sure it's sealed properly. The glue has to be warmed up well to really get tacky so when it cools it will stay sealed since it's porous.

Yeah I did something like that. When I was leaving work I figured if I crank up the heat all the way up and hold the phone in front of the vent it might achieve the same thing and it seems like its good now. I don't here any clicking any more. I actually realized it was clicking from the bottom area as well aside from the top but it seems good (hopefully).
What exactly do you guys do to get that clicking sound? You press the edges of the screen? Applying a lot of pressure, or the usual? I don't seem to be getting anything weird, but I'm not pressing too much either.
You have to press at the corners with a good deal of pressure to hear the clicking.
Hm, I don't seem to be getting any noise. Is it loud, or barely noticeable?
Also, if I start to hear it in the future, is it an indicator that I might get the dust problem? Should I heat it with a hair drier? Won't that melt the plastic parts of the phone?
Press hard then let go and you may hear a very faint click. You have to listen for it. If you hear nothing then I guess your unit is fine.
Hairdryers shouldn't melt the plastic components, but should be hot enough to warm the adhesive up.

Ah, sounds like breaking the glue under the screen or something..
I used the hairdryer and it seems to work for a short time on the 4 softkeys.
Will try the upper part now
Did the hairdryer thing a month ago and its still holding strong

I am having trouble with this, after reading this thread I noticed the 2 bottom corners of my screen do click when pressing down on them hard, so took out the hair dryer and did each corner for about 2 min on full heat full blast, screen was hot to the touch, applied firm pressure while it was cooling afterwards, and there was no clicking at that time.
Now afew minutes after it is still clicking.
How did you guys do it exacly?
edit: nvm got it, had to hold down harder and right at the edge of the screen.
Yeah Mafi0s0, thats what i did too. I realised my screen clicking again after doing it the first time. Doing it the second time - it required alot of pressure, but doesn't seem to clicking anymore.
Thanx for the tips guys, I also had the same problem, but applying more pressure fixed the thing.
Mine also had the clicking at the bottom, and i have some dust under the screen.
It fiexed for now .. but i will probably disassemble it to clean all the dust if it gets worst.
This hair dryer method hasnt worked for me at all, I have tried 3 times, I just checked then and the clicking is heaps bad, its very loud. I am gonna get dust under my screen for sure if I dont fix this.
How have you guys who have been successful done it exactly?
Today I noticed 2 very small dust particles under my screen. After seeing this thread I did the corner test and it turns out the the bottom right of my screen clicks. I did the hair dryer trick and it seems to have fixed it.
Hey all.
I've tried to search from internet if somebody has the same problem as I do with my Galaxy S but I could not find anything. Seems that my Screen is loose from the right side of the screen. If i press gently the screen from the right middle it bends and makes this clicking sound. I haven't dropped or hit my device and it seems that this screen movement is getting worse all the time.
Has anyone else had any build quality problem or am I just unlucky?
I think is an issue covered by the warranty.
Go to the dealer and change it. Fast.
If it clicks probably it has something that is pressing on it.
you could find your self in the position to crack it.
Okay, I read that someone lifted part off the front by removing a screen saver! Now with me, I recognized that on the left side bottom, left to where the slideview and call buttons are under, the ENTIRE part seems to come up.
It is lifting itself and I bet in a few days/weeks this will get off.
So my question is if anybody had this happen and knows what is under there? Is there a possibility to GLUE it back on?
Now since I am watching this, I think the ENTIRE front can come off eventually and if it is just glued on at the bottom where one has to press the buttons all the time, it is only a matter of (short!) time until this gets out of hand.
Anybody found anything about taking this phone apart yet?
That happens to my phone, I do not bring it back because I buy it in a duty free shop here it japan and also that is the only issues on my phone and only some bugs. I just press it always there to bring it down but it keeps popping up. I think i can glue it, so I do it to fix the problem. Just be carefull if you do it, I notice that under the plastic screen there are buttons (as I think it is) the hard part that you feel when pressing the slideview or call. When you use a liquid glue and put to much, it can go to that button and worst may stuck that part or go inside the phone and also the part where the mic is. I put glue just on the sides just make sure to put small amount at a time. I cannot give the brand of the glue that I use because its in japanese.Now only the small part in the call buttons is up a little because I cannot put enough glue on that part, but in the slide view button its now okay and working well.
This is my firts post on xda hope it helps a little.
