Hi, a few weeks I have x8. From the first day I noticed that both his work and touch began to do what you will, that is not where it reacts a touch of disparate places, open your applications which are not adequate to the touch with my finger. To do so, leave a screen with power button and still enable him to become adequate. Began to happen more often, sometimes even after the first minute. How to fix a similar problem? Defect Is? I do not believe any of that is rooted because as I said from day one I made such an impression, even while he was in Android 1.6. The time now is with 2.1 and continues to behave the same way.
Wove problem still is present! Even after a master reset and recover with PC Companion. Everything is back to original i rooted it again, etc. but inadequate behavior of touch is their stay.
How to deal with such a problem any idea?
Sorry for my english. I used google translate.

I just feel that you have a factory defective phone.. maybe it is better to check via SE tech. Hope they will accept the warranty.. Goodluck
And I think the problem is the factory. I talked to the shop from where I bought it and they said they would send him to repair (though the phone is 10 days). I hope to fix the problem because their problem.

I hope so.. , if they didn't fix hopefully they will change your unit for better one.. keep your finger cross
better ask for a new one, you bought a new phone, not a repaired one...
me too i had a problem with touchscreen. I sent my phone to SE for repairing in warranty on 5 April, now i don't have it yet
A months ago my phone had another problem with the radio (gsm and 3g) and SE repaired it in 2 weeks

Hello everyone,
Lately I'm having a lot of issues with my HTC TyTN while in the past I didn't have any. I believe they all started when I upgraded to WM6, but the thing is I don't want to downgrade. However, what makes me think twice about it is the fact that I dropped it down few weeks back and there's a major scratch down at the bottom of the screen where touch screen there doesn't work and when you press there it goes a bit to the left or right accordingly...! The screen needs calibration like all the time because it's not accurate.
Moreover, sometimes the hardware keyboard doesn't work and I need to make my phone sleep and then wake it up again and it would work. Last night I also got a key locked.. and it wouldn't work until I made my phone sleep and then work again.
Additionally, if my phone is locked, and I receive a phone call, and while talking to the phone I receive a message, when the phone call ends the phone is like crashed and I need to make it sleep and wake up so that it works well again.
Anyone who can give me any kind of suggestions or advices on how to solve or decrease the problems please?
Thank you.
None of those problems are WM6 problems.
You said you dropped your phone so i think its a hardware fault? Coz for me WM6 save's my HTC 8525 from bricked and now works fine.
You think? I think the screen alignment problems might be due to dropping the device on the ground once but I doubt the rest are. I believe they are driver bugs from WM6.
Do you think I should take it to get fixed? Would my warranty cover that?
Anymore have an opinion on the matter, please reply. Thanks.

I had the same, when I used WM 5.0 (it happens on three diffrent devices - all of them comes from T-Mobile UK) - after upgrade WM 6.0 (Schaps) it's still happens, but very rarely.
Drivers might be part of the problem, but I think dropping it has played a big part.
If it was me I'd downgrade to the original setup (follow MrVanx's guide) and try that. If the problems persist they are hardware related, but you are in a position to try for warranty because of original set-up. If the problems go away, upgrade again and try to isolate which bit of software caused the problems.
But the reality is that if you've dropped your phone hard enough to scratch the screen that's probably the root of the problem which is probably not covered under warranty anyway...
Well it wasn't that hard hit on the ground, it's the fact that there was a tiny rock on the ground and that's where the screen hit...!
I have the same problem. Dropped it for about six months ago. The problems started just a couple of weeks ago. Strange. I'm gonna try the waranty. Even if I have a few scratches. Also my speaker doesn't work anymore.
Any more suggestions/ideas?
My first response is the definitive response.
If you are still concerned that WM6 is the problem, then go back to WM5.
Hello,
I bought my Touch dual 2 weeks ago.
But after a week, i get verry unusual things on my screen.
The windows button appears in shading in the other menus and pictures.
It is just as it is burned on to the screen. But when i SR the phone sometimes its dissapear and sometimes not. Sometimes it is also dissapearing when the phone is on stanby and i turned on again.
Sorry for my English, i hope i explained it well.
I gave it back to the store and i will get my new Touch Dual today.
But i was wondering if someone else have or did have the same problem.
mine (and a few other users phones) came with that error aswell. I did a hard reset and now it works like a charm =)

Ok. I called in the beginning the HTC customer support. They sayed that it is not a common problem. They advised me to go back to the shop and changed with another.
The new Dual arrived today, so if this has also the same problem, i wil try hard reset.
Thanks anyway.
i have the exact same issue on my Touch Dual !!
I'm pretty sure that the hard reset will not permanently fix the problem cause i tried it and after a couple of days it returns. The strange thing is that i cannot find the pattern and how to reproduce it and therefore I'm not taking it to service cause i know their answer and steps: hard reset=>it will work=>give back to customer as fixed
Been using mine for a couple of weeks, but just now the touch screen has been acting up. Sometimes it responds sluggishly and sometimes not at all.
At first I thought it was one of my apps running in the background, but even after a soft-reset, the touch screen still doesn't work. Can't even enter the PIN to my sim card.
Found that if I gave the screen a few solid taps here and there, the screen would start working again.
This happen to anyone else?
I've got the same issue. I can't find any reliable way of getting the screen to respond apart from to get someone to call me and then after some bashing on the screen it starts working again. I've even updated to the latest ROM in the hope it would cure the problem - but it didn't. I contacted HTC support they offered to repair the device...

Yep, that happened to me plus the screen started jittering with some weird actions. I sold the device and ordered a new one, to be delivered dec.19.

I've contacted Handtec about the issue, my phone's just marginally inside their 28 day replacement policy so hopefully I can get a new one out of them.
I tried a hard-reset before, didn't fix it. And I've found that if I place my entire palm over the screen and give it a bit of a squeeze then that restores life to the screen for hours or days at a time

Sounds like the connectors under the screen came loose, either because it was dropped or just shouldn't have passed QA. Definitely a candidate for repair/replacement.
By the way, if this happened even after 28 days you would still be covered by warranty...no matter what some dodgy resellers say

Oh of course, but the regular warranty process is to repair the phone. Being so new, I'd want a replacement.
For what it's worth, I posted a message asking about this same fault a couple of weeks ago but with no replies. I emailed HTC and they said it was probably a hardware fault and to either send it to them for repair or contact my supplier (O2). I spoke to O2 and they suggested that it might be because my SIM card is a few years old and suggested trying a new one. I thought this was worth a go so they sent me a new card but the screen still becomes unresponsive and the fault also survives a reset. In fairness to O2, they are now sending me a replacement unit which should arrive on Monday.

The same thing happened to me. I think it was because I left it in my hot car. HTC fixed the problem, for free, inside warranty, and just sent me back my phone 2 days ago. It's even got a brand new screen. NO SCRATCHES>

I sent my back and the first time it came back and worked for a week and then stopped working completely. I sent it back a second time, they paid for shipping and ordered a new screen and replaced the old. Nice thing, I bought the phone used and the warranty was still intact.
hi,..
i own a HTC legend with A1 (Austria) Branding and made a 2.2 Over the air update. when i started to use it i thought that it would be faster but this has now rly changed.
Last thursday i could use my legend properly but then - 2 hours later the touchscreen didn't work any more .
i tried to unlock it but only the right side of the TS worked.
so i already tried some of the tips of some threads of XDA like hardreset , refreshing the update , and now it is a bit more useable , so i can slide the homescreen pages on different points but i cant start apps with touching..
Does anyone have a solving for this problem ?
I have no idea if the froyo update is responsible for this but I have the same problem. The top part of the screen is no longer responsive. I cannot slide the notification bar down and sometimes crazy things happen on the screen without tapping anywhere. This makes the phone practically unusable until I reboot and it usually works for some time even though the top part is not responding (notification or letter 'q' when in landscape).
Can I try something or I have to visit service? I cannot find the link where they explain how to change the refresh rate as you mention could you please provide it? also I found a couple of other threads dealing with similar problems and it looks like there is no solution am I correct ?
thanks
same thing happened to my Legend. After two months, the thing appeared, next few days all was good. Another two months and it came back. I had to send for service: they DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, anyway, after they sent it back to me, it's working again (until now, which is almost another two months)
My guest: there's some weird thing with the range/sensitivity of the touch screen, maybe a problem of the screen being magnetically/electronically charged without being discharged (as it should), after a while (e.g. a week) the problem disappears.
I far as I know, there's no solution. I have even found a clip on youtube (search for 'htc legend touch screen problem' or something) describing the same situation, maybe you should take a look there to for a abetter description of the case.
Anyone, please, if you know a way out of this, please, post it!
I have the same problem, the top notification bar cannot be pulled down in portrait and in all orientations I cannot use the touchscreen near the HTC logo. Mine is an unbranded and the problem just started this morning. I am running a custom rom from here and have been running the same one for a while so I don't believe the ROM is responsible.
Edit after using multitouch visible test from the market, it turns out I can't get a response that is higher than pixel 57 vertically.
I have already sent mine for service under warranty. I hope everything turns out well, because I really like my legend (form factor/design/specs). After the slow down I experienced with the froyo upgrade this problem came to spoil all these months of happiness. I will keep you posted.
EDIT:
I got my Legend back from service 3 days ago and everything looks fine at the moment. I hope that my bad froyo experience has ended.
According to the documents I received they just performed a ‘software upgrade’. This means that the problem was related to software. I guess some files could have been corrupted during the OTA froyo update. Maybe that also explains the sluggish froyo experience.
I can only suggest that before any critical updated a factory reset should be performed and hope for the best. I will update this thread if this serious problem with the touchscreen ever returns.
yeah i sent i to the warranty service too . But they said that the problem has mechanical reasons. So they suggested to repair it for 218(!!) Euros . -.-
I had exactly the same problem HTC have repaired it under waranty, so must have been a software issue, looks lik eits happening to quite a lot of poeple, pretty unacceptable consideringhow long it took them to release the Froyo update, not sur ethey bothered to test before releasing
Solution for screen problem ( HTC LEgend)
I had this problem also with my phone
touch screen works only for certain part of my screens
the top part where i cannot access
Solution
I change digitizer and
everything works well
only buy the digitizer from ebay and replace with the one that is not working
and everything should be fine after that
good luck
if you have question
Hey,
So here`s my problem.
2 days ago my phone just switched off, no warning, no nothing, and won`t switch on ever since.
I already looked around for people that may have the same problem, but every thread talks about the device that won`t go pass the logo screen. It is not my case. My phone doesen`t even show the logo screen, nothing. You can press the power button for as long as you want, it just won`t start. At occasions, it starts up by itself, only for a minute or two and then turns off again.
At first i thought it may be a software problem, so I`ve cold started it and reset it but it didn`t make any difference.
After, I`ve thought... maybe a battery issue, so I`ve talked with a pal that has the same device, switched batteries. Apparently his phone started with my battery just fine, but mine didn`t work with his either.
Does anyone have a clue about what`s happening?.. If yes, please do share. As much as I like having a phone with a mind of it`s own.. it`s just not dependable XD
Thanks
Probably just broken / defective - if under warranty go and ask for repair or replacement (money back probably). If not under warranty sell as broken or throw to the bin - not to worth repair in my opinion.
I spend the same thing to my myself, LG stinks.
Sent from my HTC ONE V using xda app-developers app
Thanks for answering.
Yes, it was a problem with the motherboard.. got it fixed on warranty. Now I barely use the phone, of fear that it will break againXD. Looking forward to selling it while it`s still functional.

I've got mine just back from repair (second time). It use to randomly reboot, now I hope it got repaired ("faulty electronic components have been replaced" - but I don't know what exactly). What I realize is MAC address change. But as they changed firmware from 1.1.8.10 to 1.0.16.10, I wonder if that's why it has new MAC? Does new MAC address means that some component was replaced ? IMEI does not change.
