[HELP] Bottom of screen not working. - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi there.
Ever since the new 2.1 sense updates, its seems like the bottom of my screen is very unresponsive, like the launcher bar of sense to open the app drawer/phone/add etc, wont work... but mostly on the home screens, once an app is opened it seems to work better.
Anyone knows what might be happening? if there is something i can do?
=( thank u!

Do you got the original OTA update? or have you installed a custom ROM?
and, your hero seems to show it's first sign of "bottom of the screen has stopped working" sickness.

Custom new VillianROM wiped twice already...

had the same problem... luckily i had warranty left, they changed screen...

Well this was after updates, this wasnt there always. =(

I had the same problem... i noticed it after some romflash...
but it didnt helped to flash another rom, the problem was still there...
then i found some other guys had the same problem and they had their screen changed... i tryed to find a software solution but there was no.
It worked if i touched the top of screen at the same time
i mean just under the HTC logo, just about 1 mm... something like that...
then it worked perfect...

ahhhh .. bigger thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595485 it seems to be a chronic hero problem!
mine currently in for screen replacement

MDA Pro crashing randomly when composing TXTS - Heeeelp plz!

I've had this problem for awhile now, and i was just thinking it was some 'quirk' with the T-mobile ROM, but recently i've installed the new ROM, and i'm getting the exact same problem, so i really am confused now :/
(I haven't installed any apps, or hacked the device in anyway btw)
Basically, i'll be composing a standard TXT, and the brightness on the screen will go to maximum (as if it's been plugged into charge) then when i come to pressing 'send' it does nothing. Then i close the messaging app, then whatever i try to load, it comes up with a 'this program is unsigned' error, all the txt on the screen does white, and basically everything looks screwed.
If i go into task manager and close the messaging app, then the screen goes back to its normal brightness, but the application errors still continue.
The only way to get around this, is by rebooting the device, but then once it's reloaded, it seems to randomly loose my latest TXTs/e-mails!
Really starting to annoy me now!
Does anyone have ANY Idea what might be causing this, or experienced this before?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
*bump*
No one else had a similar problem?
OK and another thing ive noticed, when i go to the lock options, even if i type in an incorrect PIN, or even if i click 'ok' it just bypasses the lock screen! How s**t is that!
I've got no idea what's up with this phone, but i'm really pissed off with it now, i'm sending it to t-mobile for their engineers to look at, but im 99% sure that they'll run a few simple tests on it, and declare that it's totally fine, then send it back to me... GRRRRRRRR :evil:
hey same thing happening to me too.
mine too sometimes goes to full brightness while composing SMS. If u then switch off the phone(by power button), it comes up with a message box asking for driver. In the end, i hv to reboot the device.
And the poor part is that it doesnt happens all the times. This has started happening to since I have upgraded to latest imate ROM(I have O2 Exec). I had similar problem with the latest Qtekk ROM.
The only thing i d not installed was 'ms_.nbf' from both of the ROMs,which is actually represent the 'extended rom' of HTC devices.

Ahh, well i'm glad im not the only one!
I'm going to assume it's a hardware issue..... possibly..... because ive had the exact same problem on the past 2 t-mobile ROMs. So annoying :S
why dont u give a try to other ROMs like imate, qtekk. May be, you do away with this 'annoying' problem somehow

Well i've had problems with the past 2 T-mobile ROMs, so i'm thinking that it's not really an issue with the software.. but i really dont know. Have you fixed the problem, or are you still getting it?

Hmmmm interesting

I used to suffer from this problem at least 2-3times a day. And it was very frustrating too.
Till now, not a single problem with latest qtekk ROM, FABULOUS is the word for it !!
No problem at all till now. Popper, you should give it a try now

Hmmm I might give that a go. Which ROM contains all the network setting information? Was that the "ms_.nbf" file you mentioned?
Thanks
yes, its the ms_.nbf which contains the network settings. In other words, it the one, which represents the extended rom of your device

Why does my X1 turn itself off for no reason?

Recently it has been turning itself off for no reason. I also notice if I open and close the phone a few times it turns off as well seemingly at random.
Anyone else have this issue? I hate looking in my pocket to find my X1 off. it has a full battery so what gives?
yer i had this problem a few times.. update to the new R2A Rom.. should fix it
thanks i'm a bit scared to upgrade though. I'm not sure which version to use for US X1a.
OK I have to ask this again. What's the deal with my X1 turning off if I slide the top open and close too quickly? Anyone else have this issue? The phone just straight up resets if I open and close the slider twice in a row while it is in standbye!
hmm, glad....
to see that i am not alone..
I have the exact same problem on my x1.... i am running the Xion 1.1 swedish rom on it so i will try to update to a newer version to see if there is a difference.
maybe it's just a screen energy saving? click power button will call the screen back
hmm
Nah that is not the problem, the damn device reboots itself completely when closing the lid... however mine works if i do it "with care"...
Updated the software in the phone last night and no difference...
Bah!
Solved... i changed the battery and after that everything works swell... bought a new cheap one.. So something was fishy with the original one... China Copys FTW!

[Q] Random Touch Screen Issues

hey guys, I´ve been having some strange behavior on my M2 lately, everything was normal till last week but now the phone started registering random inputs on all over the screen... its like I am touching the screen madly... I´ve already tried flashing the retail brazil SBF and everything still the same... I can´t even answer the phone straight!!!
any ideas? maybe my digitizer has gone crazy...
Take a look at this vid. It's mine. It is happening when i'm scrolling fast. I think I will send it to a service.
I get this when my phone is on the lockscreen connected to my pc.

this happened to me a few times before. once was when i typed a really long email using my keyboard. when i shut the qwerty it started behaving crazy. a few other times was also after i used the keyboard.
then i realized something in common. the problem only occurred when i had 'words' running in the background. i uninstalled 'words' and i have never had the problem since
perhaps u have a really buggy software. try uninstalling one of ur buggy softwares and u would be grand.
if u cant locate the buggy software, turn off the screen (short press of power button), turn it on again, and unlock, and things should be back to normal
well... it look like I gonna have to send it to service too... I´ve already wiped it clean... I´ve done a clean flash of the brazil retail SBF and everything is the same... random issues all over... bad luck right?
thanks for the support guys!
I have not experienced this problem...maybe because I'm running stock ROM?

Keyboard freezes phone

I have been running stock everything since I got the phone last year. I even was patient and did the OTA for gingerbread. I have had no problems at all, but that changed this morning, and I hope someone here can help me out.
I was using my phone normally, checking mail, texts, games between work and what have you, when suddenly while texting in the stock text app, with the stock multitouch keyboard, the key board froze on the screen. I tried to back out, close the keyboard, go back to my message, but it wasn't having it. Then I tried to go home - the keyboard stayed on the bottom half of the screen (portrait mode) and the top half filled with what would have been the bottom half of the screen. Couldn't touch anything. Hit home again, I got the display of my seven pages, but when I touched one the keyboard stayed and did the same thing to each page. Nothing on the screen worked. Couldn't access settings, menu, what have you. I tried rebooting (thankfully I could touch the power off menu.) Upon restart, everything seemed normal, but when I went back into messaging, the exact same thing happened. I decided then to play around a bit. This happens in landscape mode as well, except upon switching to portrait, half the keyboard just gets cut off and the other half of the screen just goes to black. Sometimes I can get the settings screen to pop up, and if I change the keyboard to Swype, and THEN reboot, everything will be back to normal. Using swype for everything does work, so that's a temp fix. This happened with the stock keyboard in everything I tried -gmail, talk, texting, G+, Facebook, etc....
I could not find anything pertaining to this in the DX forums, so please if any one has any ideas let me know. Thanks a lot!
I tinkered with it a bit when I got home, but could get nothing to work still.
Please, anyone have any idea what's going on?!
This happened to me while on apex rc2 that used the gb kernal... since I have flashed cm7 I haven't had any problems with it... installed better keyboard, so I'm using that now
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Had the same problem after upgrading to GingerBread. Ended up reflashing and now after about a week, haven't had the keyboard problem again, but GB is def not as stable with lots of various little bugs and anomolies. My keyboard problem after taking the battery out and restarting it. Actually, several things changed after removing the battery a few days after upgrading to GB??? It was like it needed a "reboot" for all the new features in GB to replace the old.
I seriously can't believe it's this unstable after all this time : (
I will try and install a different keyboard first, before flashing. I think if I do flash, I'm gonna go with a rooted version and start cooking up some roms. It's unacceptable to have the "official" phone to be so much worse.

Hello there,
I recently changed from Schlund's Photonic SD Boot to CM 7.2 NAND Version, where I started having this strange issue. SD Boot worked just fine once I managed to get over the critical first 10 minutes after booting without freezing. Now the screen shifts occasionally, especially when I'm opening white windows or menus like the shutdown menu or the one where you enter a wlan security key. It stops in every position, just like mustafas picture shows. If I turn it around, the line dividing the screen just stays where it is, both frames will turn. I tried changing every single option related to the screen, flashing different versions, without gapps, without update, even [ROM] Phonerty MIUI v4 (ICS). The bug is a bit slower in this one, but still there. In all cases everything is the way it ought to be after tapping the standy button and waking it up again. But in most cases it will wont stay that way. I can't even flash it back to WM (and I don't really want to since I know how useful this little thing can be with Android on it), every RUU i tried to use told me I was using the wrong one. Any ideas? Anything new about this one?
