After I press the end button to wake up my HD2, about half of the time my first attempt to swipe to unlock doesn't work. Works on the second try. Any idea what might be causing this? I'm using the Hyperdroid CM7 rom.

Hi
Thats how the problem starts and eventually ends with the Digitizer dying out completely, the reason i would suggest to replace it asap is either u can benifit from warranty or during a total emergency my HD2 gave up completely and i had to use a phone booth to make an urgent call,,,,
regds
PS: a lot of people face this issue

Hi,
Before replacing your digitizer try reading this:

This is a well known "issue".
Just tried another rom and same result. Guess it is the digitizer

Damn I have the same issue. Hope it's not the digitizer though .
Have you tried hitting the end button, waiting a few seconds then swiping? I don't think it's the digitizer personally. But I have the same issue, hit the end button, swipe right away, and it's a failed swipe. The second swipe always works.
I don't think it's the digitizer because if you unlock it, then lock it, then unlock it again right away, it will ALWAYS work on the first try. I think it's rom or android related.

I have pretty much the same exact thoughts but I have the same issue in other roms apparently. I'm not sure if I want to replace the digitizer for such a small issue, but it is pretty annoying.
GUYS the digitizer WILL eventually fail, these are the warning signs

ive been having this strange problem with my touch screen for the past month or so. its been working just fine for the past year so this is a bit of a bother. anyways here goes:
the right half of my screen is properply aligned as in when im using the keyboard and pressing keys such as p or k or l they press fine but on the left half of the screen where keys such as A or S or D are present. when i press them they dont get pressed, instead the key next to them gets pressed for example if i press S then A shows up.
i tried aligning the screen it solves the problem but only untill the system reboot. when it goes haywire again like this. anyone else suffering from the same type of problem and know the solution to this?
thanks alot

So for some reason, the last few days the touchscreen on my phone was being super slow, and id have to turn off the screen, then turn it back on multiple times and keep trying to slide it to unlock. I dont know how this started. Ive been using the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9.
Ive tried other ROMs and restored previous backups and nothing is working. The screen is still not responsive. Ive never had this happen before and not sure what else to do. Its just stuck on the lock screen but everything is unresponsive....any ideas???

Unfortunately, your touchscreen digitizer is dying. This is related to the hardkey malfunction. The only thing you can so now is flash back to stock WM Tom and send it back for repair. The phone's touchscreen need to be replaced.
Good luck,

Yeah thats what ive been reading, and right after i started this thread i was reading on another and read that you can fix it if you hold the power button down firmly (apparently the digitzier is right behind it)....that worked for me.
I think too much flashing and changing ROMS using the power button didnt help hehehe

Try using zMooth or Button Savior. This help your hardkey a lot. Since I have zMooth and Button Savior install on my phone, I no longer have to use the hardkey.

for how long (holding of power button) ????

!!!!! FIND SOLUTION !!!!!
The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me.
(found it from : http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/ )
I'm so cool now!!
I have been living on this solution for almost 2 months now.
However I can't take it anymore not because I am lazy!
but because when sometimes you need to make a quick call or grab that
camera instantly I tend to waste a good 5 minutes trying to make that hardpress on the end key work with the digitizer cable.
My question is, would changing the digitizer work? or is it something else?
Ever noticed that T-Mobile HD2 has soldered digitizer connection to the LCD vs. flex-cable socket in standard Leo?
I was running an older Paramid version of dunphp's ROM, and right before swtching the ROM my touch screen start to not function. I could not pull the ring up to unlock the screen. I rebooted multiple times. Cleared Dalvik and fixed permissions. It finally worked after attemptiing to unlock it for what seem like abother 500 times.
I was going to change over to his latest Deisre HD ROM anyway. So I did a Task 29, and cleaned and reinstalled everything from scratch. It worked perfectly for about 5 days. Now I am getting the same issue with my touch screen. It just seems to go out. Is this typically what happens when it's about to die?
Never mind. I Task29, and flashed a Windows Mobile ROM just to see, and yeah...it's dead...

You have semi-dead digitizer. But it is nothing you can't temporarily fix every time it happens. Just push red (end call) button really hard for a while and it will get fixed for a while. I recommend you using button savior and lock screen with it and unlock with any other button than red one, it should be permanently fixed then. Please hit the thanks button if I helped you.

I hit the thanks button as you gave me hope. I am currently using my old TouchPro 2 with an old NRG Titanium Rom on it for the time being, but will try this today. I’ll install “button savior”, but what am I supposed to do with the app? What settings do I run? I think you are totally right about this, as I noticed when I was unlocking my phone, using the green call button worked most often, but now that’s not even working.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem as you have. My phone was working flawlessly for like a year and a half, but last week all of a sudden the touchscreen sometimes didn't work and sometimes it did. So I tried literally everything, I was fixing my permisions all the time, wiping dalvik, task29, remaking parrtitions, even bought a new sd card. But few days ago I found a solution, by pushing red button really hard (because the digitizer is right behind it) and not using it after. The Button Savior app is a simple app that makes a very little transparent icon on your screen and when you tap it, the menu of buttons will come up (with the same buttons as your hard buttons on your device) so every time you will want to lock the device you will do it on your screen, and won't have to push the hard button and come through all the hassle of pushing the digitizer. I really hope I helped you, as this very same problem was driving my crazy for the past few days.

Aww, that's a shame. I really tought it would help. It doesn't work every time, maybe you can try it few more times. If it's not even then going to work, then maybe you should get your digitizer replaced.

How long do you hold the red button? Also, I am pushing down really hard. I didn't know you could get the digitizer replaced...I wonder who would do that (no way would I send it to HTC and wait a month), and how much that costs...?
HTC sends phones back crazy quick. Atleast that's how it was for me. They actually sent it back the day they got it from what I remember. It did take a while though for the phone to arrive to HTC (this depend who and from where you send it though) If your phone still has warranty I seriously recommended you send it yo HTC. Just remember to flash it 100% stock before sending it.

Well believe it or not, after pressing the Red phone off button for an eternity and applying a ton of pressure, it's working. I am sure it won't be for long. I have a shortcut to lock the phone on the screen. So basically your saying I should stay away from hitting the Red phone off button, or else that will kill it again? What about the other hard buttons?
I am in the UAE at present, so it might be better for me to just order a digitizer and do the repair myself. I see there are a lot of YouTube videos on the subject.
Thanks everyone for your help!
This is extremely recent, just in the past few days.
Seemed to happen after installing ICS MOD ROM, but the problem persists through to Gingerbread ROMs and even new installs of CWM.
Basically when I turn my screen on the screen doesn't recognise me at all. BUT if I turn it off and then on quickly it works again...
This sound like a digitizer problem? What's my options?

Why...
Oh, weird thing about this I discovered after posting:
This problem only occurs when I wake the phone with power/end call...
Anyone got any idea?
Common fault linked either to end button sticking or touch screen ribbon conector that runs under button is worn by flexing stresses from button use.
there is a thread on apply preassure on button & wiggling it in circular figure of 8 motions with finger in an attempt to clean button if it is sticking issue, procedure could make it better or worse & long term solution is probably dismantling for inspection/repair.

In short - Yes
Try what Mister B says, it gave me about 5 seconds more of touch screen life after it gave up again for good. But for some others its worked for longer periods of time; but the problem won't go away unless the digitizer is replaced.
Hi ,
I recently had a bad time getting our of the DFU mode, had to open the hand set, move things around and hoping to get through this all, now that the handset is alive again, the Back and Recent Capacitive buttons are not working, however the Home button is working fine.... I then proceeded to unlock the boot loader and loaded the Vortex rom but it still has not fixed my phone, so is this something which i screwed up during my dissembling of the phone or can this still be salvaged??

I would try and open it again to look and see if anything is loose with the connectors for the capacitive buttons.

I think maybe on the side where the battery is resting. I'll have to go take a look again to confirm but I'm in a lecture at college right now so when I have time I'll come back and confirm it.

I think it hasn't got a dedicated connector, it might be the same connector as the screen. Maybe seeing JerryRigEverything's video would be better though

I'm not sure if Vortex ROM has this setup, however did you try the button swap in settings? I have seen this happen before with a teardown but haven't seen a solid solution.
