Hi,
One iPhone fan boy suggested to compare my HD2 with his iPhone by simple test as described here:
http://labs.moto.com/diy-touchscreen-analysis/
What I saw on my screen looked less good than Motrola Droid. In some places there is splashes on the line (close to center of the screen).
Do you have straight lines on your HD2 devices ? Please let me know because I think that's explanation of troubles typing with built in keyboard, positioning is quite bad.
Thanks !
Tried it yesterday and I have straight lines.
Edge performance seems to be not so good on mine, more like the iPhone.
No problem here...
I have no problem with this test on my HD2 nice stright lines... anyway i am using fix for touchscreen sensitivity.
mine are nice straight lines as well.. seems like OP has unsteady hands!!
Straight lines here too. I tried that test as soon as i saw it on the web. The HD2 performs well.
I have exactly the same problem. Not with my first HD2 but the last one ! is it a hardware fault? HTC support is not able to help
That sensitivity (and straight lines) fix v3.3 will solve your problems! I installed it and its straight as an arrow... search the forum for it....
I've not installed anything...
I repeat. I did not have any problem with my old HD2 that had the earpiece broken. But I have it with my last HD2. I tested both. Could that be a faulty touch screen!?
No, certainly not. Maybe they're using touchscreens from different manufacturers.
What exactly is your problem? Cause what you see is in the first post is not a problem, a problem would be it the lines jumped several millimeters, but that's just a slight inaccuracy there (~1mm), nothing to worry about.
Wait for some more answers here, and I hope people will post screenshots, it might turn out that HTC uses two different touch panels.

My problem is that sometimes the screen is accurate but suddenly it makes weird jitters like this :

and specially this !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8MmIErLhag&feature=player_embedded
Ah OK, I see. That's something different, not the normal inaccuracy that the OP was talking about. In this case, yes, looks like a faulty device.
Have you tried if it goes away when you apply the tweaks here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604831&highlight=touchscreen
I haven't tried sensitivity fix myself, but I noticed that by default my device can't handle slow motion of finger. It starts jumping around as it was presented on you tube video as well.
i do have really straight and continous lines here too
Yes, I saw that and the first thing I thought of was the fact that I've yet to try an HD2 with a usable keyboard.
It would be nice if people could try this test without the sensitivity tweaks and see what kind of lines they get and also let us know if their keyboard is okay or not.
It would also bee good to know if the sensitivity tweaks affect the outcome of this test.

Look at my screenshot in the second post. I've not done any sensitivity tweaks.
And my keyboard is perfectly fine.
Actually, th screenshot in the first post doesn't look bad either. Definitely not as bad as the Moto Droid, more like the HTC Droid Eris, and that's fine.
The only thing that's not fine is what you see in that youtube video. But that's another story, there's definitely something wrong with the device you see there.
Here's my screenshot again. As you can see, perfectly straight lines without any tweaks.
mine seems to be quite good, but I've done other experiment. breathe on the glass in Your window and draw same pattern. do it slowly... wth?? I have a faulty doubleglazed window... imho this test is not that relevant, as sometimes when sliding finger slowly it shakes slightly... or maybe it's just me??
Here are two more. Looks perfectly fine, IMO.

Thanks. This is the kind of information I was hoping for.
I'm really just wondering if people with poor line results are those with unusable keyboards. I remember there have been a few threads here about the keyboard and some people have no issue at all while others find their keyboards unusable.
What program are you using to draw the lines fella's?
hey friends , my hd2 was working very well untill touch screen stopped responding to any touch .. i haven't dropped nor damaged it anyway , it just happened suddenly ..
i found someone said it may be digitizer ribbon related proplem so i did what he advised :
[ Press the top of the red button (when pushing on the top your pushing the ribbon).
Press the bottom of the red button thus releasing the stress on the ribbon.
Press the green button. ]
i got it working for sometime then after i press on the red key it stop working again ..
please can anyone help me to fix this proplem .. ?
I got the same problem
Hi guys,
I have the same problem with my LEO 512, each time I try to reboot the device (Long pressing the power button) the touch screen hangs, but the buttons working properly, and whenever I activate the device by pressing the power button, or rejecting a call with it also the screen hangs.
I think there is a short circuit between the power button and the screen.
Anyone has any idea what to do to fix this issue???
Thanks
good day, unfortunately is a defect hd2 the only thing to do is send it in for service or replace the touch, have just made my warranty is also changing the screen and putting touch screen no longer equal to the original but different. the screen much more crisp and bright and the touch with a stunning response

I agree with you, I already sent it to HTC service yesterday, and first thing came to his mind that they would replace the "screen" or the touch or "both" , but he will check the power button problem first.
By the way, I got link (unfortunately I will not be able to submit it as I'm still new to the forum) this would help you. It is in the "Touch screen won't work" under the "General HTC HD2 discussion" in "HTCHD2forum(.com)"...

hey john , to which HTC branch you sent ?!
did he tell you that he can replace the digitizer only ?!!
& what about the cost ?!
also what is the important info. i can find in this forum ?
This is a common problem with the 512 HD2's. I have found that although some temporary fixes do help, such as using only the green button to wake the screen, and holding certain parts of the screen while pressing others do work in a pinch, but only a digitizer replacement will fix it permanently. The replacement digitizers are much better, and do not have the bug. Replacing the LCD with the newer one results in a much nicer picture.
Both of these parts can be found on eBay, and there are teardown videos on youtube to tell you how to replace them, saving you a fairly large amount of money if you are no longer under warranty.

Hi Needo,
I went to El Mohandeseen branch (Jovi Tronix), they have already replied me that they will have to replace the whole LCD screen with the digitizer, costing about 1,400 EGP (232$) which was a total loss for me .
Of course I refused, but thanks to "Cappii" who posted after you, I found the LCD screen with the digitzer in "ebay" which would cost about 475 EGP (78.5$) using "Edfa3ly.com service"!!!
A big thanks to you "Cappii"
I'm thinking of going to "Abd El Azeez street" first and check how much would it cost (if applicable), it would be faster than waiting for 2 to 4 weeks till I get the LCD screen from the US.
Wish you best of luck.

Anytime. If you do the repair yourself, make sure that you pay .attention to the connectors on the bottom of the main board. There are a few that are a little tricky. Overall, it's not an easy phone to repair, but it's a lot easier than iPhone 4's or HTC Arias.

Yes, I've watched how to disassemble and replace the touch screen videos on you tube before, I noticed that it is very complicated and tricky, but I like this kind of stuff, any way.

Thanks too much john , it's really great idea to use (edfa3ly.com) ..
also i've found someone can fix it for about 500 L.E (may be 400), they say he is expert with HTC & iPhone devices ..
if i repaired it myself , it will cost me about 300 L.E only , but with some risk as i heard that separating digitizer from touch screen can break it !
also i'll have to wait for about 2 or 3 weeks ..
i'm not sure about what i should do ..
what do you think ?!
& what will you do & why will you change LCD (i think the proplem is just related to digitizer ) & did you found it in " abd el aziz " ?!
& Thanks in advance sir

Hey Needo, What's up?
I didn't go yet to "Abdel Azeez street" but I'm willing to.
I prefer to have someone fix it for me; as it will be with less risk. But there is an advantage regarding getting the stuff from the US that you know they are brand new, not used.
I'm not expert in the hardware stuff, but this is the feedback I got from HTC that the whole LCD should be changed; this is why I need someone else to check it.
Could you please tell me more about this one you found, who can handle the HTC and I Phone???
Thanks my friend and wish you fix your phone soon (so do I )
Best regards,
John

sorry for being late in reply john ,
i sent it to this guy in " el srag mall " in shop called " Win Mac " he told me that he will change touch ( digitizer ) for 500 L.E in 2 days & he did it .. after i recieved it , it was working fairly good , but not like before .. then i tried to install WP7 , when it booted to welcome screen , found that i've no touch at all ..
returned back to WM 6.5 touch screen working , but not very properly .. tried to install NAND Android it gave me strange line of no.s & stuck at GO GO GO when i try to enter CWM ...
tried to boot into SD android Build , i got the same problem ..
so i decided to install WP7 again & sent it to him & told him about the problem , he told me to leave it & he'll fix it .. after 4 days i went to him & he told me that he tried to change digitizer for 2 times , but it's not working properly (in the best case , only the lower half of the screen got working) so he'll change LCD also ( the strange thing that he told me that i won't bey for that !!! & he will take my LCD instead ) ..
really i don't know if i should believe in what he say or not , but anyway i've nothing to do .. i'll wait to see what will he do !
what do you think ?!
Just wanted to chime in. I have heard various reports of having to change both the LCD and touch, although on my personal experience, the touch seems to fix it. Now, separating the LCD from the touch is a fairly simple process. Once the boards are removed, turn the unit over so that the touch and lcd are up. Heat the touch with a good hair dryer for about 3 minutes, and slowly lift with a plastic separator while its still very hot. Lift from the top, not the bottom.
There is a lot of tape on the bottomod the LCD. Heat LCD with the hair dryer, and slowly lift, keeping the frame flat on a table. If the frame warps, it will be next to impossible to reseat the touch and LCD. Make sure it stays flat.
Take your time and pay attention to all the wires. Take pics to reference where everything is. There is little to no tolerence for error on the rebuild.
I got it fixed

Hey Needo, I'm sorry for hearing that about your phone, I wish that it would be recovered soon, and this guy would be as honest as he said. I feel that he sensed that it's his fault to break the LCD. Anyways I wish that it would be fixed by now.
About me, I went to "Abdel Azeez street", hoping to find someone who might know something about this device, and you know what, I found that many people there already working with experience in Iphone and HD2. And I found that they fix it while you are with them to make sure that they don't cheat you, or fix it with used spare parts. For me, I found that guy who changed the touch in front of me with a new sealed one, it was a process of about 3 interesting hours, which cost me 550 EGP (91$). Of course it wasn't in the best quality as there are some dust between the LCD and the touch screen, and there is some light coming out from the bottom of the phone between the frame and the touch, but I consider them as minor losses . It's working perfectly now at last.
If you ever wanted his contact, I would be glad to forward it to you anytime.
cheers.
Initial releases almost ALWAYS flesh out some build issues that quickly get fixed (even Apples, but not so often), so hopefully the title says it all. Since we already have seen a few issues with the initial builds, such as camera sensor quality, case gaps, dead pixels, etc., maybe this thread will be a good place to keep watch on the progress of the HTC One issues being remedied, as many of us wait for HTC to perfect the One before we make our order. We don't want to get stuck with hardware issues that may be quickly remedied after initial release.
So you early adopters can help the lurking masses who are anxiously waiting for the right time to buy. Once we have a lot of people reporting what is or isn't good, we can then get an idea of when issues are not really issues anymore.
Please list any hardware issues you have noticed (software too, but no so important since software can be fixed after purchase), and/or list any fixes to these issues or opinions on whether these have become non-issues, so that many of us who are waiting can check the problems off our lists. If there are ways of identifying which hardware versions have the problems vs. which ones do not, that would be great info for this thread as well so that we can check a device in the store or quickly return a device before committing to a purchase.
Hardware issues:
-- Camera sensor yielding image issues such as mis-focus and/or color banding in a small percentage of units, partly due to a HUGE number of image sensor being rejected and causing initial release delays.
-- Gaps is the seams of the case materials such that the unibody design doesn't seem so smooth and seamless.
-- Stuck display pixels or observable differences in displays on a small percentage of sold units, possibly due to HTC using more than a single screen manufacturer.
-- Is black anodize hard enough that resistance to scratching and chipping is on par with other brands out there?
-- Signal reception issues
Software/driver issues:
-- GPU tests not scoring as expected, in comparison to similar phones currently coming out.
-- Volume level adjustability more granular in the low volume end.
-- Capacitive buttons not responding when they should.
-- Battery Drain issues
-- Acceptable menu button solution / HTC logo touch digitizer mapped to become a button (not necessary, but would love to see developers make this happen!)

- Gaps is the seams of the case materials such that the unibody design doesn't seem so smooth and seamless.

The sometimes-not responding capacitive buttons which are most likely a software issue.
Also:
-Fix the color temperature of the screen, it's too much on the cooler side
-Fix the audio hissing in some 1080p videos made in a quiet environment
-Sense drains too much battery in stand-by
-Improve 4G/LTE signal reception
-'msm_hsic_host' wake lock keeps the phone awake on stand-by and drains battery

Also, whether its me or not but sometimes im on the phone and it randomly turns on speaker phone.... Going to wait n see how this one pans out tbh. It might be me touching it with my ear.

If it is you touching it with your ear, then that is still a problem, as the proximity sensor should sense that the phone is close to your head and then shutdown the screen and touch sensor input so that touching the screen does nothing.
Maybe u could add links for each of the problems to related threads so users can get more info?

I just checked out the one at a nearby at&t store. I had such a hard time with the capacitve buttons that I am reconsidering the phone. Not once did I get them to work on my first touch. Extremely disappointed. Hoping it was that one model in that store. Will check out another store. Also looking at xperia zl as an alternative now. So disappointed though as it was pretty awesome looking and extremely light.

My biggest issue with the lack of menu button is that I've always used it to quickly pull up the address bar on my browser. If you gently scroll up or down on the browser it will pull it up, but it doesn't always work very well. That is what I would like to see a solution to, first and foremost.
The home and back buttons are not very sensitive and don't always react on my first attempt. Also the battery is draining extremely quick. I'm losing 12% per hour.

There's a fix for the capacitive buttons. Someone found a sensitivity setting.

Care to share the light on this? A link or instructions?
I don't quite remember where I read it... I've been stalking these forums for a while because I really want the phone... If you play around in your settings, somewhere there's an option to adjust/calibrate the sensitivity. Then, if you just very lightly touch the buttons, it will calibrate to that sensitivity and then fixed!

So I went and checked it out at another store and there was no problem with sensitivity. It had a weird problem where home would just bring up whatever screen you are on. Must be particular to that phone. Either way the sensitivity of the buttons was totally fine which was the main issue.
Also liked at xperia zl which is a fine phone in its own right but it just does not compare to the one. Although it does have one advantage which is that it is much easier to hack and get aosp and also get klp when it comes out.

Solution to irresponsive back/home key
Case pitted
Got my 64bg on the 19th via mail direct order ATT. Top of aluminum case near power button front side chamfered edge had 2 pitted dents. Put back in box and immediately went to ATT store to return for new order replacement. I also noticed some rough finish in edges of aluminum casing where it meets plastic fill. Not at the level of my Iphone 5 fit and finish. Will see what replacement looks like in the next few days once received.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the need to stab the hell out of the capacitive buttons when it comes time to go "home" or "back."
One of the few things that has agitated me about this phone is the effort required to press the back and home buttons. I actually began wondering if they were pressure-sensitive or something. After all, my Note 2 would often register inadvertent presses of the back and menu capacitive buttons because they were so sensitive. With the Nexus 4, the buttons are responsive, if not hypersensitive.
I have just set my calibration and the home /back buttons are immediately more sensitive.

Does the hardware support this? As there might not be touch sensor on the logo... :/

Consensus is: yes, the hardware might support it, while software currently does not.
The sensor array likely completely covers a rectangular area but the coded area does not include the logo area. This might be hackable at the kernel layer.
Hey everyone,
For those of you who has the incredibly annoying touchscreen issue with your Xperia Z1.
I've discovered that Sony X-Reality engine for mobile is the cause of the problem.
How to fix:
1)Go to Settings
2)Go to Display
3)Uncheck X-Reality for mobile
Done
This worked for me so far (I have C6903)
so please test it on your handset to see if it works for you too.
This look like the people saying that Cursor Speed set up to low speed fix the touch screen..LOL..
X-Reality is an image enhancement so I really don't know what it have to do with the touch screen issue, like the Cursor Speed.
I think is placebo only.
Also, when X-Reality was on the screen could not register more than 7 touches at once.
After I turned X-Reality off it was able to register up to 10 touches like it was supposed to.
x-fake is sh*t anyways. turn it off and you actually get better image quality instead of the more than amoled saturation anyways

that mean X-Reality not worth to still with LB
Man you are a life saver! My phone was almost ridiculous to use. I thought I needed to take the anti shatter film off and put a glass protector on because it may have been the issue. Why in the world would Sony let x reality mess with the screen sensitivity?
Thank you so much!

You're welcome
My screen has actually worked very well last few days without x-reality! Weird, but it seems to work!

touchscreen issue?! Hmm my works okay so far...it works like the sh**y screen from my xj so i havent recognized any issues...
I had touch issue too. Phone works fine but after 15-20 min it gets heated up and ghost touch happens everywhere and i wont be able to use the phone at all. After fighting with them regarding this for a month they accpted that its a hardware issue and replaced my phone.
i give it a try .. i will come back with opinions after few days. thanks
This works for me also, wierd stuff....
Will try more later, but already with that X-reality turned off it feels much more responsive.
Might be placebo though, it probably is since X-reality shouldn't have ANYTHING impacting the actual screen touch
I unchecked xreality as soon as I got the phone, it didn't stop me getting the touch screen issue.
I have however not experienced it on kitkat yet but that might be because I use the phone less than before.

It was placebo.
This does not work and does nothing for you, if you believe this then you are stupid. I have tried the usual tests and it's exactly the same as before.

Because it didn't work for your phone doesn't mean it won't work for everybody. And you have no right to tell people who are trying to fix their phone "stupid." Sony's kernel has problems regarding the screen and unless you replace the kernel you'll still get issues. I created this account just to let people know that this exists, and I'm glad that it actually worked for some people. For me, even after the X-Reality is off I get a couple of misplaced touches when the screen is on for over 40 mins, but as far as I've seen it is only fixable by root methods or replacing the kernel. When X-Reality was on I was not able to touch the screen properly 5-10 minutes after it was on.
As you can see from the quote below it actually works for some of us Xperia Z1 users. If it doesn't work for you try replacing the kernel. If that doesn't work too, you have to face that your phone is defected and you have a hardware problem. No one is to blame but Sony in this case.

It seems to me that the touchscreen starts acting up when my hands are sweaty, has anyone else noticed this? If it starts acting up I just wipe it on my shirt and it seems to go back to normal.

Explain more about fixing it with a new kernel, never heard about that
I finally found the fix. The phone develops an issue over time. I bet any of you with the issue did not have a problem until later on which is my case. Yes it has something to do with the sensitivity but the major culprit is something that gets scratched up super easy.
Yes, the anti shatter film. I removed mine two days ago and used a zenus oleophobic screen protector. It has not felt this good since it was new.
My opinion the deep scratches in the anti shatter film allow dirt and sweat to get in and makes the phone go crazy. Most of my touch screen problems happened when I was typing. They never happened when I was scrolling. This is the fix for sure. Also x reality does seem to help until I did the swap.

The kernel's primary function is to manage the computer's hardware and resources and allow other programs to run and use these resources. Which means that the kernel enables the OS to communicate with the processor, memory, and IO devices including the touchscreen. If the kernel doesn't perceive the input coming from the hardware correctly, issues like the touchscreen issue in this case would appear.
I haven't tried it myself since the X-Reality fix -mostly- did it for me, but you can replace the stock kernel with another one to see if the kernel has the fault or not. You need an unlocked bootloader for it. Doomkernel is one of the popular xperia kernels since it provides many functionalities. Link below.

Hi all,
Posting this in the hope that people are still looking for some answers for this problem. I have a Z1 and for me it's not the anti shatter film ( removed it for this reason ), x reality, any settings in any menu and a glass or plastic screen protector does not help and modifying the clearpad.idc file only relieves it slightly. I have tried custom kernels and different rom's to no avail. But I have found an interesting quirk - the problem will ALWAYS appear while playing games and just as an experiment I installed Smart Screen. I set it to turn off / on ONLY the screen when I swipe a finger over the proximity sensor ( turned off phone locking ). While playing games and the problem appears I flick my thumb over the sensor to quickly turn screen off and on and the problem disappears ( until the next time ). While I'm not a programmer in any way it almost seems to me like a screen controller / buffer issue.
Since I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere I hope that it might provide an insight for someone skilled that could possibly design a fix.
I stay in a place where it is damn cool and i usually put on gloves and this makes me unable to use my phone and i want to know whether there is any app which makes the touch support glove touch or else any settings included by which we can adjust the touch sensitivity like in many Samsung devices...
Im presently on Nuclea Rom 7.12 . Can anyone please help?

Just buy touch gloves with silver fabric. It's the easiest way cause increase the touch sensitivity isn't really great as you need to trigger it every time.
