Yesterday my touchscreen no longer responded to input. Hard buttons worked. Took it to T-Mobile and will have a replacement within 7 days. Anyone else have their touchscreen die on them?
Is the HD2 black? Yeah, everyone it seems has suffered from this...especially if you run Android alot.
Mine died today. Unfortunately I have bought it second hand and don't have a receipt.
Any hints for fixing it would be nice.
Mine did it too. Got the replacement and it did it on that one too the next day. I just kept flashing random roms and after 2 or 3, it unfroze. Lesson i learned? If in android, your screen freezes, DON'T reset or take out the battery. Wait til the screen turns off and it apparently is safe to reset. (I quickly do a reboot command in android)

If you mean the screen, no. It boots up and everything fine, hard buttons work fine.

Wow, interesting, if true, that Android could affect our touchscreen like this. I'd test out flashing new ROMs but I already reverted back to stock ROM and SPL when I took it to T-Mobile. Think I'll just use the loaner in the mean time and await my shiny new HD2 =D

happened to me again today. I had to flash 7 different roms but eventually it did unfreeze. I picked a new kernel from a thread in android, the one where it prevents screen freezes and it so far has worked. For some reason, for me, it does it when it gets near moisture. Doesn't have to be on the phone, but if its raining out, misty out, foggy out and even humid out, and it constantly freezes up. Nice dry sunny day and i know i am good all day. If its acting up, gps will kill it for sure.
Special Delivery =)
Well I just received my replacement today! =D Talk about a quick delivery, it got here before they even sent me the tracking number lol. Can't say its a "New" device. Telling from the hex screws it looks like it has been torn down. For a refurbished phone it looks new =)
Time to put Android back on =P

Interesting theory.
It started acting up this morning again so i changed the kernel to this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
because its supposed to have the touch screen freeze/g sensor issue patch built in. And it has not yet. (And the backlight to my keys work a LOT better vs. the bangsters one.)
Touchscreen death blows
I was so happy with my HTC HD2 leo ever since I put the Energy sense 2.5 rom on it with radio 2_10_50_08_2 until today. Have the same problem with non-responsive touchscreen but hard keys work fine. I didn't even get to put Android on it yet : (
Not sure if I should try random roms or switch back to the original rom; newbie here and need quickest and easiest solution. Input greatly appreciated.
Try going back to the stock 2.13 ROM and see if it helps. It more than likely won't, but it's always worth a try!

Someone stated that multiple flashes fixed his, so maybe going on a flashing spree may do it. Best of luck and if you still have manufactures warranty I'd say use that.

It happened to me and I just got my new one about 15 minutes ago. Sad that Android does this, but it seems the MCCM builds caused mine to go out, since I replicated it three times. Oh well. I'll go through 10 if I have to, as I love my HD2

You have a stock rom for one, try the one darkstone suggests for it and flash your radio to a newer one, it fixed my problem with it, and I use it daily now...

Does the phone boot properly and hard keys still functioning? If it's the same issue I and others had then your best bet is to flash roms untill it works again.

This recently happened to my GF's phone, She said she was just playing a game one day, it froze so she popped the battery out and rebooted. Now every time she uses the End/Power ( red ) hard button to shutoff or wake up the device, the screen stays locked and won't respond.
I have tried soft reset, hard reset, different lock screens and what not. The only solution I found, besides sending it in, is to let the screen shut off by itself, and then wake it up with the Call/Send ( green ) hard button.
You can also try using the End/Power hard button to lock it, but then as long as you wake it with the Call/Send hard button it should be fine.
It has worked every time now. Try it and see if it helps! It's a little annoying but it saves money and insurance!
Going to repost this in all those previous listed threads to see if it helps anyone else.
Good Luck!
Happened to me the other day too. Mine was stock rom and t- mobile replaced it immediately. The new one came to my house within 16 hours and it runs silky smooth like mine never could have. I noticed it has a newer rom version than my original one.
rom 3.14.531.1
radio 2.15.50.11u
I found a work around, I have only tried this in android. Press the power button to turn the screen on, Then when it comes on it will not be responsive.
However if you turn the screen off then back on and try and unlock it it will respond and also i have noticed if the phone wakes it self up it will be responsive again.
How many ppl still have there evo since launch with no problems. I never had any problems with my evo since launch.

Me. No cracked camera lens, no screen lifting, no light leakage, no dead pixels, rooted about a week after I got it, never had a boot loop, never lost any data . . . it's been a good ride, and I'm not through yet.
I've had mine since launch and haven't had a single problem. Been rooted the entire time. I generally tend to take pretty good care of my phones though. I'm extra careful now after learning of this GB mess. I'm pretty sure that if I were to break my OG now, I'd try and fix it myself instead of being stuck on stock after an exchange.

Add me to the list. I have not had one issue.
I also never had 1 issue... UNTIL.... I foolishly accepted the GB update, Now the phone is slow as ****, has random reboots, and freeze-ups, as well as a slew of other bugginess, I was never rooted before, nor had the intention to root, but after this mess that sprint has created, I will root once I can, and enjoy the features I paid for over a year ago....
I've had mine since launch but I do have issues. I have burn ins, power button crack and phone is separating at the top but I'm waiting to do a return until there is root for 2.3.3.
Pocket posted....
not a single problem here, ever
I haven't had a problem either but I haven't had it since launch either lol but thanks to Sprint and there stupid pop up updates I accidentally updated to 2.3.3 and waiting for my turn to experience this thing we call rooting

I still have my original evo with no screen protector pre-ordered it from best buy ! Only one minor scatch on the screen. No other problems ! Rooted running Deck rom right now .
Running decks rom too best aosp rom so far. Does anything have to do with the hardware version and the problems everyone's having like cracked power buttons, Light leakage etc.

Notification bar area doesn't work, camera lens fixed a few weeks ago, crack at power button, crack at volume rocker, light leakage, and a little bit of screen lifting. Oh and usb port a little fudged up. Gotta do the jingle and dance to get it to charge. All these issues and yet It's still the most awesomest ever.

Mine's been good to me as well, only had to have the screen replaced once when it was non-reactive. Other than that it's been fine! Even survived a swim in a lake!
Had mine 2 weeks no. No issues yet.Awaiting root!!!
Got mine on June 4 (launch day) and haven't had a single problem. Been rooted for 5 months now. I just fell back in love with my phone after I flashed MIUI. I was waiting for the Samsung Galaxy SII but now I feel I can keep my EVO for at least another year.

I just switched back to my evo for a bit from the shift i got in may. I've had the OG evo since launch, no issues until last may other than some software stuff when i was messing around too much while rooting (lol). In may the phone fell out of my pocket and messed up the unlock button. It is now extremely difficult to press. With no lock and screen off and lock widget however, there is no need for it. I just reactivated the EVO yesterday and rooted, im rockin MikG 2.XX and lovin it. I might just have to roll with it until the new shift OTA is released and I can root it
***UPDATE***
So switched it on, running a KF3 base with KE7 modem....
Now need to upgrade to some villainrom magic lets get my phone back
Don't you love a happy ending?
lol
***OLD UPDATE***
So a quick update to you guys who have been oh so supportive!
Just received a brand new SGS2 this morning replaced without questions from o2...
Now im giving it its first charge so haven't switched it on yet but a bit disappointed i lost all my old stuff
Anyways, will post more details as and when to see how the later batch measures up against the first...should be interesting
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My GS2 was one of the best around...bought on release day it experienced rooting since birth and has run villainrom since with not even the slightest of slight hiccups! Battery life was always measured in days rather than hours and never experienced any of the "banding" "yellow tint" or "random reboots" many people have faced....i loved my phone....and now its dead
Was in the cinema watching a film, got my phone out at the end and nothing.
nada
not even a blink from the BLN
The phone wasn't overly hot in any way (though it did smell like liquorice) and I thought, "ahh, deep sleep issue, undervolting too much!!"
Battery out, battery in, switch on!
Nope
Battery dead?
Got home to stick it on AC
Nothing
My heart died
Frantic searches over the net reminded me of the jig i bought
Stuck that up its arse...
Nothing
Not even a peep
Tried numerous button combinations to no avail...
Finally bit the bullet and sent it in for repair
Complete with custom boot (bios animation), custom rom(VR3.0), custom kernel (Ninphet 2.0.5), custom theme (JKay + various tweaks)
I doubt they will be able to bring it back to life to see that it was rooted, even if they do I would pay for the repair, but yeah....that's life :'(

OMG bro u must be hurted a lot
My microSD card died 2 days ago. Brought it to Samsung and got the mainboard replaced, now it's working like a doll.
This makes you think about how something can just die in a instant, we need to treasure every moment we have with our GS2s. RIP
i know i feel the pain of phones dying on you. i had my xperia x10 and one of the best phones i loved. i started facing reboots & random shutdown and freezing issues. i tried to do my best to hold myself then 1 day it didn't wanna work with me and wouldn't turn on so i got angry and smashed the SOB down to the ground and guess what?? nothing broke no lcd digitizer no screen no nothing but had no pulse. i took it to its hospital (wireless repair shop), they tried to jumpstart its heart pushing to his chest (motherboard) with pumps and kept saying CLEAR, CLEAR :|. still didn't work and i knew it died on me. i was upset but then this new hot chick (sgs2) came around the block and i was like whoaa this chick is hott and has all the new fashion trends. finally got it and now we're dating (sgs2) and me. obiviously my wife is jealous but she's happy also . anyways thats my story from transition from x10 to sgs2..ENJOY

Is anyone else having problems with swiping left and right etc since 4.1.2?
My device recognises the swipe but doesn't complete ie when ctolling through home screens the page won't move to the next page it will stay where it is and you just see the page move a little bit and then go back.
Hope that makes sense.
Please reply if you're having this problem or not
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've noticed this as well since 4.1.2 but it only happens for the first few seconds after switching the screen on. I've had to apply a bit more force in swiping to bring down the Notifications or to go from screen to screen on Home and the app drawer. Gently flicking the screen doesn't work and stuff like Notifications just flips back up, but after 20-30? seconds it works fine again.
I've noticed this aswell, but don't think the new update is the cause as I was experiencing it before.
Just out of curiosity do you use another device such as HOX? Because I have a HOX, and the swiping is much smoother on that, flicking goes from screen to screen rather than a drag which the Nexus required, if you do use another device perhaps its just the change in device like my case ?
Hmmm.
Cant decide whether or not to take it back and try a replacement.
As said above i have to now use a full swipe across the screen with my finger while holding the tablet in the other hand. I cant just use one hand and flick it with my thumb like i used to be able to.
Ive done a factory reset but that hasnt helped at all.
Ill upload a video of the problem soon so you guys can compare it to yours.
OK heres a video of the problem...
Let me know if you guys have the same

I've noticed that my home screen is not as responsive, though I can't tell in your video if it's as severe. I have to make a strong swipe to move to the next page or it will just bounce back to the current page I'm on. So sometimes it takes me a couple times to switch screens since I'm used to it normally changing. Hope that makes sense.
I run CNA 3.8.0 which uses 4.1.2; I haven't noticed that problem previously on 4.1.1
I also have to swipe the notification bar further in order for it to stick. I used to only have to go 1/3 to less than 1/2 of the screen for it to work.

Same issue, would agree that it is worse for the first 20-30 seconds after waking up the screen. Really is quite a pain.
This definitely happens for me, and it definitely started with the 4.1.2 update. It's not a big deal to me, but I can't believe Google didn't catch it.

I've got a new c9O 32GB and mine does the same thing. Its better if I use one hand to hold it from the edges while using the other hand to touch. Using one hand to hold and swipe/scroll/ anything is an effort in futility. And its not just at the Home screen/App menu for me. It also locks up completely from time to time. Do we know what kind of memory the 32GB model uses? Not happy about this at all. Asus really screwed up on this one.

I have this issue as well. My first nexus which was a 16gb didnt have this problem but my current one which is a 32gb does this, especially with the notification bar which is quite annoying. Not sure if its because of 4.1.2 or if its the hardware itself because it updated immediately when i got it so didnt have a chance to use the 32gb before it updated.
has anybody tried the 4.2 update to see if it has fixed this?

I think the problem is gone in 4.2.
At least I have not seen it yet - swipe across half the screen works again to change page.

hey,
I've noticed some lines showing up on my screen... they only show once every 10/15 min and run across the vritical when in landscape mode. typically only one or two pixels thick and lasts only a moment.
Like every one my tablet takes a tumble now and again, but if it was hardware then my is it so intermittent?
any ideas?
I think this has happened to mine too but it flashes so fast that I don't know if it's happening or I'm seeing things. It's very rare though for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I get it every now and again, seems to happen when the screen has been on for a long period.
Not sure what is causing it, I tried to Google it but couldn't find anything.
It seems to be software guys, as before the 4.1.2 update I was getting these lines around 2x as often. Hopefully the next ota knocks them out for good.
I think it is WiFi reception strength related. In my case, they appear only when WiFi signal is weak. They have been there since the beginning. But now, not only vertical, some times horizontal lines appear as well. Horizontal lines didn't exist before 4.1.2 update. Same issue have I with my TF700. So, I assume it's both hardware/software related.

I never had this with stock rom but have had it with some custom roms, I had it with "slimbean 2.7" but since updating to 2.8 it has gone. So, it points to software.
Maybe megamoz is onto something too.
I don't think it is a faulty screen. Something else is going on.
I am on rooted stock, had them both before and after rooting.
Don't think it is related to the WIFI, not for me anyway, as I get it when browsing in the living room and I sit right next to my router so I get full signal.

that would sound like a prime candidate for me. I have been stuck in hospital for 10 days, and the tab has been on for 15+ hours at a time some days... although the wifi angle is interesting too.
just happy its "normal" and not that I dropped it
thanks everyone for you input
Yeah I am also getting them and they seem to happen more when there is alot of white background on my screen or maybe that's when I notice them more lol but as far as problems go that's all my NEXUS7 has so hopefully it is software and can be fixed with a good old update COME ONNN 4.2 GOD BLESS YOU GUYS
