Anyone here experiencing the same problem? At first I thought that was normal, but at some point the touch screen worked while the slider was open and I was really happy with it but now, it no longer works what gives?
am i the only one experiencing this? do you think a ROM upgrade can fix this?
Sometimes (very rarely) the screen doesnt come on and I have to reset, but nothing like you descrived, sorry...
aw! i guess i have an isolated case. thanks twolf!
it's a screen cable problem. just fix it
last week, i had the same proplem. So i sent it to the guarantee service. They replaced the cable, which is connecting the screen with mainboard.
too bad my phone doesn't come with warranty. thanks for the info guys
my phone has the same problem,and I had used many roms, and all of them have the same problem.
my screen isen't working when the keybord is closed,
aneybody have the same problem??
problem
yes i do have the same problem ... my htc niki100 was not working when slide closed ... but when i open it works fine .... sometimes when slide open also it is not working i mean the touch screen ... i removed all parts of my htc niki and i take a look at that but all was fine and i dont know what was the probelm... i think htc failure model is niki... really pissd off guys due to this niki ... if any came to know how to make work that ... just post it and for u i am thankuful..
it is hardware problem. sent my device to service center and they changed the board for free since it is still under warranty. they said it was wear and tear. so it is only matter of time before the new board suffers from wearing out again. unless stop using the sliding keyboard, but tat's the main selling point touch dual is built for =\
how much is the cable $$ connecting the lcd to the boarD?
my niki is out of warranty............can any mobile phone repair shop fix it ?

If you google around you'll see this is quite a common complaint with the Touch Dual. There seems to be a certain flaw with the screen and cable which was never addressed. I had the exact same problem & eventually sent the phone back to HTC to be fixed.
Be warned though - HTC would not fix my phone eventhough it was still under warranty. They said the problem was due to User Mis-Use. My ass it was. I argued it out with them but in the end I just paid the UK£60 to get it fixed - robbing bastards!
You all seem to think it's a hardware issue, and I'm experiencing the same issue, but only under Windows Mobile (I've tried both 6.1 and 6.5 - all sorts of various roms). Android on the other hand, works fine. :/
EDIT:
Well now it's working on Windows too. After I ran Android... SO GIVE THAT A SHOT I GUESS. o.o
Hi

i came in here to say the same thing.. weird. works fine in android.............
another thing worth noting is that if you keep a finger on the screen while sliding it seems to work everytime
My Niki has the same problem, when slide is open i cannot use the "send" button on the touch screen - so i have to close the slide, to send a SMS.
I bought a HTC Snap now, so my NIKI just lies in the drawer...
Sad, i like the Screen resolution and Rom software on the Niki better than the HTC Snap.
At http://www.ppctechs.com/HTC-Nike_1047/repairs.htm you can buy a HTC Nike ToolKit with special screwdrivers, maybe the cable just needs to be aligned properly, or fixed in a socket...
Has anyone tried to fix it themselves?
guys,
I had the same problem. In fact, my touch screen was totally not working at all. Some threat recon it's loosen cable so i opened my touch dual and tighten the lcd flex cable. It worked after that, but not working when slide is open. I've just changed the flex cable myself and it's working fine now. hope this help.

could you guide me how to fix it? I'm having this problem as well.
Do you have any kind of link as to how to open the niki, screws, cable, where to look etc...?
thanks!
I had spot problems with TD2 touch screen from the beginning.
Now after a whole day of soft resets the screen is completly unresponsive.
Phone was 2 months old and I see, if not all, most of us had this problem.
I would know if/how many are so lucky they have a TD2 with still working touch screen.
If that's a common fault, people should know that phone is DoA and avoid buying it. At least not before an official statement from HTC where they admit the faults and declare the problem has been solved.
Could you be more specific with the issues? I've just bought a Topaz and would like to be able to access (though hopefully not contribute...!) to a list of testimonials to this failure.
A single place where we can notify HTC / service providers of the issue and how widespread it is would be extremely useful, especially considering the weight this community has with the company (Something tells me HTC are very interested in what people here say and do... It's the main reason why I went with an HTC / WinMob mobile phone).
Constructive comments only, though. "OMG AY HEYT HTC LULZ!!11 NOOBZ!1"-style flames achieve nothing.
using my topaz for about 3 months now....
no problems at all.

could be the ROM youre using man, some of them have better screen responses better than others, have you tried recalibrating the screen, im using the 6.5 energy rom and i havent had any problems at all, usually the 6.1roms have better screen responses because they are the more stable builds, try flashing a different rom and see if that helps

I had never any problems with my TD2 touch screen..
"...how many are so lucky they have a TD2 with still working touch screen" is very speculative approach..
Not a problem of ROM, I'm using out-of-the-box official 6.1.
First messages on forums I've seen the day I bought it where about failing touch screens... maybe it was a little bunch of phones at the beginning.
I hope so, I have to admit the radio really sucks, stilll better than my previous Artemis, but the phone was great.
Have you tried an updated radio rom?

I agree with the the post below you may need to update your radio rom because I have noticed that when the radio jumps in and out of reception constantly that it effects the screen response time but I have never had problems with my touch screen with the exeption of on 6.5 rom, but go over to the topaz rom upgrading section and try and flash the most recent radio. And see if that helps a little
I've installed the updated radio ROM (3.49?) and official HTC updates only.
I blamed S2U2 because most of the time the touch screen stopped working after the slide unlock.
I had this problem occasionally from the very beginning, and was getting worst by time, but yesterday the touch screen was dead completly.
I really hope the service will fix it soon, got a Nokia today and it works much better as phone... but completly sucks for everything else

Ironic, till now it seems I'm the only one with a failed touch screen...
where do you get your information?
if its so widespread, it wouldve been on engadget or some other news portal
your poll is biased as well, you dont have this option: My phone is perfectly fine
seems as if just cuz your phone broke, you want to put down the diamond2
but ok , let's hear from the users, maybe you are right, and maybe we could benefit from this.
my td2 is perfectly fine..
another reason of why this happens is tf3d2 is stuck
at that point, you MIGHT only be able to open the taskmanager on the corner. nothing else responds cept MAYBE that and the power button
mine works fine

Sorry for the late reply I had some health problems, my back screaming.
1) it was widespread when I bought the telephone. first place I checked was this forum whre I found a user blaming the touch screen fault. Can't find it again now, something like that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519441
At that time there were really few posts on the net about TD2, very few received their phone. Some had issues with it, most of them with the screen.
Until now still few votes, hope people with working phones will add their votes, 20% of spot problems/fauly phones it's pretty high.
About Pool choices, the first one is similar to "My phone is perfectly fine" (the most voted): "Fine, no problems at all till now"
You mean the choice is not clear because of the "till now": I'm sorry, my english sucks
I don't use TF3D2, I use SPB Mobile Shell.
Anyway I'm not biased and I won't to put down TD2.
I had for many years an HTC P3300 with great satisfaction and I like TD2, just want that HTC, if they actually don't, does it better.
IMHO: I've seen to many HW faults reports from ppl and too early. Was not the same with Artemis or Blacktone, not the same rate. That's the reason for the pool call.
Maybe it's the same as this: touchscreen does not "untouch"
I too have the same problem as in the link.
I've been using the phone for 3 months now. No problems with the screen whatsoever.
Same problem for me.
Got it for 2 months - original ROM, original protective screen. One day touchscreen stop responding, removed protective shield, worked for some minutes... After that some strange spots appeared on the screen. Thought, that i damaged the screen by pushing/pressing too hard, but the black/grey spots appeared random.
Gave away to service, now wait and see what the problem. I think something i the touch-sensitive layer.
I am having the same problem after 3 month of light usage.
Touch screen no longer sensing any form of touch...
My battery went flat on that day...
I was home 2-3hr later to charge...
Before full charge, I need to sms and found out that it is not sensing any touch....
Soft reset and hard reset no USE at all...
you're not the only one.. :

I have the 2nd Digitizer on my TD2.. and it starts to get those "untouch" problems again
Been using the TD2 since it hit the shelves here in Denmark (about 4 months ago), and I just love it!
Screen is very responsive, image is crisp and clear and overall the only thing I could complain about is the glossy backcover...
Long story short, the best phone I have ever owned
Hi guys
I love this site but my elf has, as of yesterday decided to play up.
Intermittently the touch screen does not work. Actually that’s 95% of the time. And the out of the blue it does and then the bottom left of the screen (soft key) lights up like it’s being pressed… any ideas or should I ditch it and upgrade my hardware?
Cheers JM

have your phone dropped in water?or have u again align the screen?
Hi saurabh88
No,
never dropped it in any moisture what so ever.
I would have trashed the phone if I had. I have tried the re align screen still no joy.
I have even tried different roms. That's why I think it may be a hardware issue. The annoying thing is that it does not do it all the time!
time for a new digitizer, buy one and change it
i had the same problem.. check your PM..

Hey guys,
I just ended up with a g1 for a good deal. Only problem is that the touchscreen has a problem were it will shake back and forth between screens. I mean If im on the home page, and i slide it left or right to the other pages. It dances between the 2 for a couple for a seconds. Also I cant touch anything in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. So that brings me to my question. Since the glass is intact, that would mean that the digitizer is busted? As you may have noticed I really dont know. But if anyone could offer any help in my direction because I'd like to fix this myself. As Always...
Thanks in advance,
Lord CraiguS
Please i have the same problem. I would like to know thanks.
Same problem
As for me, this problem started when i`ve replaced the digitizer with a new one. It seems exactly the same as you described. I`ve noticed, that it dissapears temporary when i block the device (power button) and unblock it again. But sooner or later it appears again.
I suppose it is some internal bad contact in connection or in a flexcable of touchscreen.
However, not solved this problem yet.
Seems to be that i found a solution at least for my G1. I`ve installed a new CyanogenMOD 6.1.0-RC1 (i had 6.0.0 previously) - and the problem is not appearing for at least 2 hours!
I suppose it is somehow related with software handling of touchscreen taps.
